Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Clearly.

There was a large base of cultivators within Yuyao City, yet despite the widespread reputation of Lin Tianming, some ascetics coming from around the Dragon Mountain Market had never seen him.

With a sizable assembly of cultivators gathered here, many were unfamiliar with Lin Tianming. Upon hearing discussions about him, they quickly converged.

...

Less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea had passed.

The number of cultivators congregating in the plaza had reached over a thousand, but the majority were Qi Refining Cultivators.

It was now high noon, and Qi Refining Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Cultivators each occupied their own territories, forming small groups here and there and chatting among themselves.

In the crowd, a cultivator who regularly roamed the Qianchuan Market overheard the conversations and added his own comment.

"Li is right. The current thirteenth-ranked Lin Tianming hails from the Luoyun Mountain Lin Family."

His words instantly opened up the floodgates for conversation among many cultivators, and those unfamiliar with Lin Tianming eagerly started asking questions.

"The Lin Family? Which Lin Family?"

"Yeah... there are quite a few Lin families in Wei Kingdom's Cultivation World..."

Seeing this, the speaking cultivator, face flush with excitement, immediately began to recount the details of Lin Tianming and the Lin Family.

"Hehe... The Lin Family from Luoyun Mountain Range produced Golden Core experts in the past."

"As you've seen, the prowess of our friend Lin Tianming is formidable; breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Sixth Level in his forties, his strength is terrifying. His talent is simply frightening!"

"If you ask me, he's one of the strongest contenders for a spot in the Tianfeng Secret Realm, among both clan cultivators and loose cultivators."

Upon hearing this, many previously uninformed people were filled with astonishment.

Now looking at the Demon Hunter Leaderboard's names and ratings, they showed envious expressions.

Some of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators with lower cultivation also did not forget to offer a few compliments, and there were even cultivators who took the opportunity to cozy up for no apparent reason, as if they were very familiar with the Lin family.

In the midst of the crowd, Lin Tianming was quietly listening, not bothering to expose the rumors and hearsay.

It was, after all, a bit of amusement during the tedious wait.

...

Less than half an incense stick's worth of time had passed.

As several Zhenyang Sect Disciples emerged from the Zhenyang Hall, the bustling atmosphere finally broke.

Seeing this, it was clear that the achievements from the previous battle had been announced, and these individuals were here to update the scores on the Demon Hunter Leaderboard.

The multitude of cultivators stopped their conversations, focusing intently on the leaderboard in front of them, their faces filled with anticipation.

At this moment, Lin Tianming also perked up with impatience evident on his face, eager for the upcoming update of the Demon Hunter Leaderboard.

His purpose for being here was clear, simply to see how his own points stacked up against the gap with potential competitors.

Knowing this swiftly was vital for those with clear goals and significantly important.

After all, the situation with the demonic beasts could take a dramatic turn potentially not lasting much longer.

Therefore, quickly being informed allowed for adjustments and enabled one to give their all in the upcoming battles.

Here, many, including Lin Tianming, shared this sentiment.

With everyone watching, the Zhenyang Sect Disciples clasped their fists in greeting before skillfully casting their spells.

In just a short while, the updated Demon Hunter Leaderboard reappeared before everyone.

At a glance, the top five remained unchanged, with Long Qingshui leading by a considerable margin with 2720 points.

Chasing behind him, Jiang Yuyao with 2510 points had overtaken Jun Buhui, who had long held second place.

Further back, Zheng Xiao with 2240 points ranked sixth overall, while Deng Guanghua with 2110 points claimed the tenth spot.

As for himself, he climbed further, landing at the eleventh position on the overall list, still ten points behind Deng Guanghua in tenth.

Right after him, Hu Yuan took the twelfth spot, with Yang Tongshun closely behind him. The difference between the two was minuscule; one or two early-stage demonic beasts could switch their positions.

Not just them, the whole leaderboard from ninth to fifteenth place was separated by a mere hundred points, indicating that slaying a single Second Order Late-Stage Demon Beast could leapfrog someone from fifteenth to the top ten.

Such a small margin meant the competition was particularly fierce.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming couldn't help but be surprised.

Unexpectantly, as the great battle was drawing to a close, those previously stable positions had seen numerous shifts.

Initially, he thought that Jiang Yuyao, being a woman, did well to maintain third place.

However, outdoing his expectations, Jiang Yuyao had surged forward at the tail end of the battle, surpassing Jun Buhui who had been suppressing her.

Besides her, Zheng Xiao's point growth was remarkably stable, and his ranking was steadily rising, threatening to break into the top five soon.

Deng Guanghua's score was stable as well, stepping firmly into the top ten, becoming the non-Zhenyang Sect cultivator following right after Zheng Xiao.

"It seems that Wei Kingdom's Cultivation World indeed hides dragons and crouching tigers. Among loose cultivators, there are also those with tremendous natural talent and strength!" Lin Tianming mumbled to himself, his eyes brimming with admiration.

Zheng Xiao's point lead among non-Zhenyang Sect cultivators was significant, and barring any surprises, he was highly likely to secure one of the spots to enter the Tianfeng Secret Realm.

As for the remaining two positions, it was still too early to tell.

However, among those with the capability to compete, apart from himself, were Deng Guanghua, Hu Yuan, and Yang Tongshun.

And within the Yangzong team's board, the competition was not fierce.
