Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Hearing this, Hu Yuan pondered for a long time without saying a word, clearly not wanting to stay in Qianchuan Market, but also somewhat reluctant to let go of the rewards from both sects.

After a long time, he finally made up his mind and then said, "As for the rewards, if Lin has the chance, you may claim them on my behalf, and keep them for yourself as my repayment."

Seeing him say this, Lin Tianming did not insist, but he still asked one more question.

"Daoist Hu, if nothing unexpected happens, you're not far from reaching the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Realm, and within three to five years, you should be able to attempt impacting the Golden Core Stage."

"If you are wandering the Cultivation World, have you found a good seclusion spot that could ensure a safe breakthrough into the Golden Core Realm?"

With Lin Tianming's question, Hu Yuan fell into silence once again.

A long time passed without him uttering a word, as if Lin had directly addressed his concerns.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming took the opportunity to extend an olive branch while the iron was hot.

"Daoist Hu, you must also be aware that the Lin Family was once a Golden Core Family, and my family's ancestral patriarch also left behind his experiences of attempting the Golden Core Realm."

As soon as these words were spoken, Hu Yuan immediately became somewhat excited.

"Breakthrough experiences?"

"Lin, do you have those experiences with you? May I borrow them to take a look?"

After saying this, Hu Yuan also seemed to realize that it might be inappropriate, and his face turned red as he laughed awkwardly.

"Hehe... I have been presumptuous, please don't take offence, Lin!"

Seeing this, Lin Tianming simply smiled indifferently and then waved his hand as he responded.

"No problem at all..."

Immediately after, Lin Tianming continued, "Daoist Hu, the manuscript of experience is kept at the Lin Family Clan Grounds, and it is preserved extremely well, with its contents recorded in great detail."

"Not to boast, but the notes left by our Golden Core ancestral patriarch are a treasure that all cultivators about to impact the Golden Core Stage yearn for in their dreams."

"With that manuscript, the probability of breaking through is at least ten percent higher than attempting the breakthrough blindly."

Upon hearing these words, Hu Yuan's face flushed, and his breathing became somewhat rapid.

It was evident that the mention of the Golden Core manuscript resonated with him, a Loose Cultivator with no background, as it held a fatal allure.

"Lin, just tell me straight, what price do I have to pay to have a look at this item?"

Having said that, Hu Yuan looked at Lin Tianming with a sincere face, exuding an air of expectation.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming smiled playfully, looking somewhat cunning.

"Hehe... Based on our friendship and the years we've spent together, you could be considered a close and trusted friend."

"I see that Daoist Hu is all alone, with no relatives to turn to, and it must not be easy for you to find an excellent place for seclusion in a short period of time."

"However, I do have a suggestion, I wonder if you would consider it?"

No sooner had he spoken than Hu Yuan looked serious, but he seemed quite interested.

"Oh?"

"Please, speak freely, Lin!"

"Hehe... Since you have nowhere better to go, why not stay at the Lin Family Clan Grounds for cultivation until you have successfully impacted the Golden Core Stage."

"Our Lin Family Clan Grounds are also considered a prime cultivation site, where the Spiritual Energy is quite dense, and you can rely on the Protective Clan Formation to gather Spiritual Energy, aiding those in seclusion attempting to breakthrough."

"Furthermore, I can make the decision to lend my family's ancestral patriarch's manuscript of breaking through to you, Daoist Hu, for your perusal."

Lin Tianming said with a sincere face, promising earnestly.

Hearing this, Hu Yuan also fell into contemplation.

In his heart, what Lin Tianming said was indeed very tempting, including himself; he was very eager for it.

After all, Lin Tianming was right; he indeed had no good place to go, nor a stable and safe environment for seclusion, nor had he collected a comprehensive manuscript on breaking through.

If he blindly attempted the Golden Core Stage and failed, the outcome would be death and the dissipation of his cultivation path.

However, he also understood that although their relationship was good and they had shared life and death experiences for a few years,

attempting the Golden Core Stage was no small matter, and the manuscript of breakthroughs left by the Lin Family's ancestral patriarch would not be easy to obtain.

Realizing this, Hu Yuan asked directly, "Lin, if I agree to it, what conditions do I need to meet?"

"If you have any demands, just speak frankly!"

Hearing this, Lin Tianming chuckled to himself, thinking that Hu Yuan was indeed a sensible man.

At the very least, his proactive invitation to visit the Lin Family had indeed had a purpose.

In his heart, Hu Yuan was considered quite reliable.

Besides, it was an eventful autumn, and the Lin Family's crisis was ongoing, with conflicts between the three sects erupting as well.

It was foreseeable that the coming decade, or even several decades, would likely not be peaceful.

And Hu Yuan, having reached his current realm, also possessed all the conditions necessary for an impact on the Golden Core Stage.

The Lin Family would provide the insights for breakthroughs left by the ancestral patriarch, as well as assistance for his impact on the Golden Core Stage.

If successful, Hu Yuan, owing a debt of gratitude to the Lin Family, would certainly stand with them.

Should the Lin Family encounter great trouble, having one more Golden Core Cultivator to look after them would increase the likelihood of the family overcoming crises.

Therefore, he took it upon himself to plan using these conditions in exchange for fifty years of Hu Yuan's care, should he successfully overcome his challenge.

After all, he had already obtained quite a few treasures, and the Lin Family only needed fifty years to rapidly develop further and significantly enhance the family's overall strength.

As long as he and one or two of his same generational clan members achieved Core Formation, the Lin Family would have the capital to contend against any of the three sects.

One could say that this early investment was much the same as with Ye Pinghai.

If Hu Yuan truly succeeded in his impact on the Golden Core Stage, the Lin Family's expenditure would be entirely worth it.

Understanding this, Lin Tianming no longer intended to hide his thoughts but spoke directly, "Daoist Hu, indeed I have certain conditions!"

Upon hearing this, not only did Hu Yuan not refuse, his heart instead eased.

He was very clear that nothing was more suspicious than receiving something for nothing.

Stating the conditions in advance and allowing him to make a choice was much more secure and cast no suspicions.

Understanding this, Hu Yuan said, "Lin Daoist Friend, do speak freely!"

Upon finishing, Hu Yuan looked at Lin Tianming with anticipation.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming spoke outright.

"Daoist Hu, the Lin Family will provide insights for breakthrough and a secure cultivation environment for secluded retreat. As long as you successfully form your core, you will stay and cultivate on the Lin Family Clan Grounds for fifty years, and should any great troubles arise, you will endeavor to lend your assistance as a way of repaying the Lin Family's expenditures."

"How do you consider these conditions, Daoist Hu?"

"Fifty years?"

"To lend a hand in a crisis that threatens the extinction of the family?"

Upon hearing the conditions given by Lin Tianming, Hu Yuan showed a face of surprise, not expecting it to be this.

Despite the surprise in his heart, Hu Yuan did not immediately agree but pondered carefully.

After a long while, he probed, "Is fifty years perhaps too long a time?"

"If the Lin Family provokes Nascent Soul Forces during this period and encounters attacks from Nascent Soul Experts, even if I remain on the Lin Family Clan Grounds, would it not be of no help at all?"

Hu Yuan began to bargain, expressing a look of difficulty.

Hearing these words, Lin Tianming feigned profundity and instead of making concessions, began to persuade.

"Daoist Hu, you must know that even with a Fruit of Fortuity, reaching the Golden Core Stage is not so easy to achieve."

"Just consider the entire Wei Kingdom's Cultivation World, how many Golden Core Cultivators are there?"

"This can show the difficulty of stepping into the Golden Core Realm!"

"You don't have much confidence, yet you consider the matters after the Golden Core Stage so early – isn't it a bit premature?"

"Moreover, if we were to encounter Nascent Soul Experts, they would surely be from the Qingzhou Jiaoqin Power. Our humiliated Foundation Establishing Family, how would we provoke such a force?"

"Moreover, for minor issues, we naturally wouldn't trouble Daoist Hu; you would just need to focus on your cultivation."

"Even if we really face an attack by Nascent Soul Experts on the Lin Family Clan Grounds, Daoist Hu can leave directly. There's no need for meaningless sacrifice."

Lin Tianming said a lot in one breath, analyzing the pros and cons for Hu Yuan.
