Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Li Xiuyuan did this because he saw the potential in Lin Tianming's talent, as well as the overall potential of the Lin Family.

Undertaking such a risk came with significant pressure and hazard, but these actions needed to remain subtle, to avoid stirring controversy.

Fortunately, Lin Tianming's own strength was indeed remarkable, and his performance and achievements in the great battle were there for all to see.

Plus, with his network and popularity, even if there was some small favoritism, the cultivators under his command wouldn't offend Li Xiuyuan and Lin Tianming over such a trivial amount of points.

After all, among the remaining thirty or so team members, only Hu Yuan and Lin Tianming possibly had a chance to enter the Tianfeng Secret Realm.

Among the others, including Tang Liusheng who was at the same late stage of Foundation Establishment, clearly did not possess the strength to vie for the Tianfeng Secret Realm quota, and could only settle for ordinary rewards.

In this way, considering Lin Tianming's talent and strength, along with the overall strength of the Lin Family, no one was foolish enough to take this matter too seriously.

It was better to be generous, so when Lin Tianming stepped into the Golden Core Stage, these people might reap a larger reward.

It was because he understood this that Li Xiuyuan showed some favoritism, albeit with certain goals in mind.

But in his view, all these risks should be worth it.

Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan immediately waved his hand, smiling as he replied, "Lin, there's no need for formalities."

"My actions are only in the hopes that I can join hands with Lin to enter the Tianfeng Secret Realm, and I even aspire to embark on the Golden Core Path alongside you!"

"Haha... then I'll take Li's auspicious words to heart!"

Lin Tianming replied with a smile, clasping his fist in a gesture of sincere gratitude, and then continued, "Li, rest assured, whether we succeed or not, I and the Lin Family will never forget the help you provided today."

"No more need be said... no more need be said, it's enough that we understand each other!"

Li Xiuyuan quickly waved his hand, signaling Lin Tianming to tacitly gloss over the matter.

Lin Tianming understood this perfectly well; after all, having the matter widely known wasn't good for either of them.

Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan nodded with satisfaction, and then took out two storage bags and handed them to Lin Tianming.

"Lin, these are your share of the spoils from the battle, and regarding the Second Order Demon Beast Souls you requested, I managed to exchange quite a few for you. See if they meet your satisfaction."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianming's face lit up with joy. He accepted the storage bags and sent his Divine Sense into them to check. He was immensely satisfied with what he found.

The items within these two storage bags were indeed their loot from the second round of the battle. Qin Xi's share could be disregarded, but his own was substantial.

In this battle, he had slain a Blood Jiao, whose corpse was intact within the storage bag.

Besides that, there were numerous Second Order Demon Beast Souls—no fewer than a hundred, including more than twenty from Second Order Late-Stage Demon Beasts, with the rest being from the early to mid stages.

During the great battle, his team had encountered just over seventy Second Order Demonic Beasts, but there were more than a hundred Second Order Demon Beast Souls in this storage bag.

Clearly, Li Xiuyuan had leveraged his connections to acquire at least seventy to eighty Second Order Demon Beast Souls for him.

From any perspective, Li Xiuyuan had indeed given him substantial help.

After recovering his composure, Lin Tianming looked at Li Xiuyuan with a smile that was not quite a smile, feeling deeply moved in his heart.

At that moment, he did not hesitate to take out ten thousand Spirit Stones and hand them over to Li Xiuyuan.

"Li, I won't say much more, please accept this small token of my appreciation!"

Hearing this, and seeing his earnest expression, Li Xiuyuan promptly refused the generous offer.

In his heart, even though ten thousand Spirit Stones was not a negligible amount, it was inconsequential to his current status.

Ten thousand Spirit Stones, where could they compare to the goodwill of Lin Tianming, let alone the value of the debt of gratitude owed!

At this moment, seeing Li Xiuyuan's steadfast refusal, Lin Tianming did not insist further and reluctantly took back the Spirit Stones.

Following that, the two of them chatted over tea, exchanged a great deal of information, and arranged many matters.

Seeing that their business was nearly concluded, Lin Tianming then stood up, cupped his fists, and took his leave.

Li Xiuyuan exchanged pleasantries and did not overly insist on keeping him, promptly standing up to see him off, watching as Lin Tianming left his cave abode.

Less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea.

Lin Tianming returned to his own cave, had a detailed exchange with Qin Xi, shared some information, and handed over the spoils to her.

Afterward, they both returned to their individual training rooms and began to immerse themselves in cultivation.

...

Time flies, and a year passes by in a blink.

In the western part of Qingzhou, the region is filled with mountains, rivers, and vast primeval forests.

The lush environment, enriched with relatively dense Spiritual Energy, causes the flora to grow extraordinarily large, and the land is teeming with numerous rare and Exotic Beasts.

This place is home to Demonic Beasts, housing a massive number of creatures. Second Order Demonic Beasts are as common as weeds, almost always within sight, and even Third Order Demonic Beasts occasionally make appearances.

Some ancient Demonic Beasts and even Fourth Order Great Demons also reside in this land.

This region, densely populated and terrifying with Demonic Beasts, is a forbidden zone for most Human Cultivators.

Even Nascent Soul Cultivators do not dare to enter lightly; one moment of carelessness could lead to a catastrophic end.

...

In the boundless forests,

Where Spiritual Energy is extremely rich, a dazzling silver hall stands out prominently.
