Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Hu Yuan had reached the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment, while Liu Zhenshan and He Hongfu were both at the Foundation Establishment Eighth Level, making them somewhat stronger than the cultivators with family backgrounds. Although the three of them were Loose Cultivators, their strength was undeniable, and even Li Xiuyuan, with his identity and cultivation, had to rely on them to achieve a significant result. In this situation, Li Xiuyuan was very courteous towards the six of them, actively matchmaking, so they could cooperate sincerely in the likely upcoming battle. Lin Tianming and the others, of course, had no objections; everyone shared the same goal, and with these individuals' extraordinary strength, they quickly became acquainted. The group chatted over tea for a while, exchanging many cultivation-related questions, and everyone gained something from the discussion. A pot of tea time passed. Seeing the harmonious atmosphere, Li Xiuyuan was very satisfied, then he began to speak about serious matters. "Fellow Daoists... Today, Lin has just left seclusion, and the core members of my team are all present here, which is indeed very rare," he said. "We've been in Yuyao City for nearly half a month, and I'm afraid such peaceful days will not last much longer!" Upon hearing this, Tang Liusheng frowned and quickly followed up with a question. "Li, are the demon beasts preparing to launch an attack?" he asked. "Hmm…" Li Xiuyuan nodded, his expression suddenly becoming serious. "According to reliable information, while our Human Race is mobilizing troops, the Demon Beast Army is also expanding its strength. With many mountain ranges within the Wei Kingdom, numerous beasts with higher Spirit Wisdom are gathering together." "Given this situation, the next battle will likely escalate, and it won't be the minor skirmishes we've had before!" Upon hearing this, Tang Liusheng nodded his head. "No wonder the number of demon beasts in the various mountain ranges has noticeably decreased recently; it turns out that those with some strength have moved locations and joined the Demon Beast Army." "Alas... With the pressure greatly reduced in the various mountain ranges below, the Songling Mountain Range here might face a great deal of pressure," Tang Liusheng said helplessly. Hearing Tang Liusheng's words, the expressions of everyone present became serious, and they started to worry about the ensuing battle. "Fellow Daoists, although the power of the Monster Beast Legion has increased significantly, our side is no weaker. With four Masters guarding this place, I believe the Monster Beast Legion won't be able to make big waves!" No sooner had the words fallen than Hu Yuan, who had been silent for a while, smiled calmly and then chimed in. "Indeed... With four Golden Core seniors stationed here, and with Myriad Medicine Valley and Golden Sword Sect also gathering a large number of cultivators, even though the strength of the demon beasts is formidable, the human side is not unprepared!" Hu Yuan spoke with ease, his confidence stemming from his own strength. As a Loose Cultivator with no ties, in the event of a great crisis, he could simply flee if need be. With his cultivation strength, thinking only of escaping, ordinary Second Order demonic beasts couldn't possibly stop him. Hu Yuan's displayed confidence had an impact on the others, settling their minds somewhat. Lin Tianming also felt this to be true, as he was quite confident in his own strength. Before his breakthrough, he was capable of handling one or two Second Order Late-Stage Demon Beasts; even if he couldn't emerge victorious, his life wouldn't be in jeopardy. With his breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Sixth Level Realm, his strength had further improved, so unless it was a demon beast about to break through to the Third Order, he probably wouldn't be threatened. This was the intense self-assurance that came with increased strength! With these thoughts, Lin Tianming's serious expression relaxed, and the melancholy in his heart also vanished. Refocusing, Lin Tianming looked at the people sitting around and then asked, "Li, when is the beast tide likely to erupt? Is there a specific time?" "Yes, if there's a specific time and scale, it would help everyone to prepare!" Tang Liusheng added. "It's hard to say right now!" "Based on the actions of the Demon Beast Army, the sects can only anticipate that the attack is coming soon, but they are still unable to precisely predict the specifics," explained Li Xiuyuan. Hearing this, everyone nodded in understanding; the situation was indeed as such. The Demon Beast Army was mighty, with many Third Order Demon Beasts. Ordinary cultivators did not dare to scout for information; if discovered by a Third Order Demon Beast, a careless mistake could lead to their demise. Under such circumstances, information was hard to come by and subject to great change, making it extremely difficult to accurately predict the actions of the demon beasts. Then, Li Xiuyuan looked at everyone and laughed lightly, saying: "My friends, there's no need to worry too much. Whatever is coming will come; we simply need to wait for instructions from above." "That's true... If they don't come, we can relax a bit more. But if they do, it'll be another tough fight!" Tang Liusheng remarked. Lin Tianming nodded and said nothing further; the conversation among the group shifted, and they casually chatted for a while. An hour had passed. The sky neared noon, and after this gathering, everyone had become more acquainted with one another. Tang Liusheng glanced at the people present and then stood up, expressing his intention to take his leave. Seeing this, Lin Tianming and the others also spoke up, expressing their own intentions to leave and planning to return to their caves for some cultivation, while they waited for the arrangements of the higher-ups. Out of courtesy, Li Xiuyuan tried to persuade them to stay longer, but was declined by everyone. After some polite exchanges, they said their goodbyes and went back to their own caves. Lin Tianming returned to the stone hall, where Qin Xi, having not been seen for a long time, had just emerged from seclusion. Upon seeing Lin Tianming and sensing the faint aura emanating from him, Qin Xi was slightly puzzled and quickly asked about his breakthrough. "Lin, have you successfully broken through to the Sixth Level of Foundation Establishment?" "Hmm... By a stroke of luck, I did!" Upon hearing Lin Tianming's affirmative response, Qin Xi's complexion glowed with excitement. She had witnessed Lin Tianming's strength with her own eyes, and now that his strength had increased, he was undoubtedly going to be even more terrifying. With this, their chances of surviving the upcoming battle had greatly increased, and they might even achieve impressive results and consequently receive generous rewards. Thinking of these possibilities, Qin Xi felt excited and extremely fortunate about her decision. "Hehe..." Seeing her slightly excited expression, Lin Tianming smiled and then asked, "Fairy Qin, it seems your cultivation has improved during these few days you've been out of sight. You're not far off from the Third Level of Foundation Establishment now, are you?" "Lin, your Divine Sense is indeed powerful, you can't be deceived by even the slightest growth!" Qin Xi replied with a sense of helplessness. She had been in seclusion, refining the Spiritual Objects she had and pushing her cultivation to the peak of the Second Layer of Foundation Establishment, very close to the Third Level. She had hoped to press on and break through to the Third Level in one go, but since she had only progressed beyond the Second Layer less than two years ago, her foundation was not solid enough, preventing her wish from being fulfilled. However, she believed that with only half a year's consolidation and some battles of life and death, her breakthrough should not be too difficult with her talent. When Lin Tianming heard her reply, he could not help but be amazed. Qin Xi's talent was truly fearsome, she was a few years younger than him, yet her cultivation at the same period wasn't much different from his. It's worth mentioning that he cultivated a Heavenly Grade Technique, had been through numerous life and death battles, had several fortuitous encounters, and with support from his family, managed to cultivate at such speed. Yet Qin Xi, a Loose Cultivator, had to rely on herself for all opportunities and also guard against enemies seeking revenge. Such comparison showed that her cultivation speed was in no way inferior to his, perhaps even more significant. "This lady's Spiritual Root Talent must be extraordinary, and she must have great fortune as well!" Lin Tianming thought to himself. At the moment, Lin Tianming was intensely curious about Qin Xi, and even considered asking about it. But delving into such sensitive matters was easily offensive and could create misunderstandings, making her think he coveted her opportunities. With these thoughts, Lin Tianming suppressed the impulse within him, maintaining a calm demeanor. Unaware of Lin Tianming's thoughts, Qin Xi finally calmed down and then shifted the conversation towards the subject of the approaching monster onslaught. During this period, Yuyao City had been unusually calm, completely contrary to her expectations. "Lin, is there still no movement from the monster onslaught?" Hearing Qin Xi's question, Lin Tianming gave her the information he had obtained from Li Xiuyuan. Soon, Qin Xi nodded, knowing that with Lin Tianming taking care of the matter, there was no need for her to worry. As long as there were no movements from the Demonic Beasts and they had no tasks assigned to them, she just needed to focus on her cultivation. Regaining her composure, Qin Xi and Lin Tianming exchanged some information. After chatting casually for a while, Lin Tianming suggested Qin Xi go back to seclusion to cultivate, and she had no objections. With everything settled, the two went back to their respective training rooms. While they cultivated, they also made some preparations, waiting for what was likely to be an impending great battle.
