Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Green Bamboo Mountain, Lin Family Clan Grounds.

It has been more than half a year since the Demon Beast Tide erupted in the Wei Kingdom's Cultivation World.

During this period, Green Bamboo Mountain has been relatively calm, despite the occasional incursion of demon beasts into the nearby forests, which were quickly exterminated by a combined force of Lin Family Members.

In a valley behind the peak of Green Bamboo Mountain.

At this very moment, it was noon.

Lin Shikang and Lin Shihua sat opposite each other, sipping tea while casually chatting.

Lin Shikang lifted his teacup for a light sip, then looked in the direction of the valley, revealing a thoughtful expression.

He then let out a long sigh and asked Lin Shihua opposite him, "Shihua, how have the family's major strongholds been holding up recently?"

Upon hearing the question, Lin Shihua's eyebrows relaxed, and after pondering for a moment, he began to respond.

"Third Brother... Green Bamboo Mountain is relatively peaceful, occasionally, some groups led by Second Order Demonic Beasts would intrude near Green Bamboo Mountain."

"However, the demon beasts' ranks aren't high. Under the leadership of Ninth Brother and myself, our clanspeople, with excellent coordination, have repelled the demon beasts multiple times."

"Quite a few Foundation Establishment Clan Members remain in the family to guard our home, and with the help of the Soul-eating Spider, Ninth Brother and I were able to cope without alarming you, Third Brother."

"As for Shi Lu, according to what people say when they return to the clan, everything seems to have been quite uneventful, given that the strength of Luoyun Market is not to be trifled with."

"Xing Rong, on the other hand, faces a slightly more severe situation as their power is relatively weak, and the pressure on Xing Rong is greater."

"Nevertheless, both Xing Rong and Tianfeng are experienced, and together with Tianhu, who has both talent and strength, and their rich combat experience, they can barely manage."

"Hmm..."

Lin Shikang nodded, showing a satisfied smile.

For nearly a year, he has been guarding Ye Pinghai while also paying attention to the movements of the demon beast attacks.

He thought he would be overwhelmed, but unexpectedly, the intensity of the beast tide at Luoyun Mountain continued to weaken.

Thanks to Lin Shihua's rich experience and strategic planning, things turned out to be rather leisurely.

Still, this was ultimately a good thing.

Snapping back to reality, he quickly followed up with, "Everyone has worked hard. How have the casualties been among our clanspeople?"

Upon finishing, Lin Shihua's eyebrows furrowed, a trace of sorrow on his face.

He took a deep breath and then reported back truthfully.

"Based on preliminary counts, nearly dozens of our Qi Refining Stage Clanspeople have perished in battle this year. Among them, many were at the later stages, with as many as eight, and the rest were mostly around the Fifth Level of Qi Refinement."

"Luckily, none of the clanspeople above the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining were sacrificed, and the Foundation Establishment Clan Members mostly suffered minor injuries, nothing serious."

Hearing the report, Lin Shikang couldn't help but turn slightly pale at the loss of so many clanspeople over the past year or two.

But after careful thought,

Defending so many treasures under the shadow of the beast tide, and the fact that the clanspeople were completely dispersed made it very difficult to cope.

If it weren't for the significant improvements in the overall strength of the Lin Family over the past few decades and occupying such a vast territory, it truly would have been difficult to manage.

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Shikang gradually calmed down, and color slowly returned to his pale face.

He turned his head to look silently towards the north, his mind filled with countless thoughts, unknowing of what he was pondering.

Seeing his state, Lin Shihua seemed to understand that he was worrying about Lin Tianming's safety.

Lin Shihua thought silently, as Lin Tianming had been away for no short amount of time, and his face also showed a touch of melancholy.

After regaining his composure, he saw Lin Shikang still silent, and began to offer reassurance.

"Third Brother, the intensity of the beast tide has been weakening recently, it should be approaching its end."

"Moreover, news came a few days ago that a Yuyao City was established in the Songling Mountain Range. The Zhenyang Sect mobilized four Golden Elixir Experts and two Third Order Spiritual Beasts to fight two battles against the Demon Beast Army."

Before he could finish,

The previously silent Lin Shikang immediately returned to normal and eagerly inquired, "What was the result? Is there any news of Tianming?"

Seeing this, Lin Shihua didn't dare to delay and quickly began to convey the message.

"It is said that Tianming broke through to the Foundation Establishment Sixth Level and shone brilliantly in the great battle, ranking among the top twenty amongst all cultivators."

"What? Is this news true?"

"That lad Tianming is truly that formidable, with his battle achievements ranking at the top among thousands of cultivators of the same stage?"

Lin Shikang was visibly excited and even in disbelief, so he pressed for confirmation.

At that moment, Lin Shihua recalled the excitement and disbelief he had felt when he first received the news.

After careful confirmation and inquiries, he finally came to believe the explosive news.

He was thrilled and also breathed a sigh of relief.

The importance of Lin Tianming to the entire Lin Family was critical.

As long as he smoothly continues his cultivation and has access to a Nascent Soul Spiritual Item, given Lin Tianming's talent and cultivation speed, it was highly likely he could successfully impact the Golden Core Realm.

For this reason, Lin Shihua also had to be extremely cautious, always paying attention to Lin Tianming's movements.

Thankfully, his persistent efforts finally led to accurate news, which eased his anxious mind.

Regaining his composure and hearing Lin Shikang's expectant inquiry, Lin Shihua didn't hold back.

With a brisk demeanor and a healthy flush on his face, he explained,

"The person who delivered the news is from a merchant caravan belonging to a Golden Elixir Force; they have set up shop in Yuyao City, so the news should not be false."

"Good! Good... Good..."

Lin Shikang exclaimed three 'good's in a row, his previously pale face now suffused with a healthy glow, clearly overwhelmed with excitement.
