Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Hearing this series of statements, Hu Yuan gave it some thought and felt that Lin Tianming's points made sense.

After all, no one could guarantee a certain success in breaking through.

Even Lin Tianming dared not say he was very confident, let alone himself, who was much older with far less potential.

If he were to fail, not only would his life be lost, considering so many things would also be in vain.

With these thoughts in mind, Hu Yuan made up his mind.

Soon after, Hu Yuan nodded and said, "Alright... Just as Lin has said, I agree to your conditions!"

Hearing these words and confirming that Hu Yuan accepted his terms, Lin Tianming was overjoyed.

In his eyes, recruiting Hu Yuan wasn't a significant expense for the Lin Family, similar to the situation with Ye Pinghai initially.

And now that Ye Pinghai had succeeded and formed a blood alliance with the Lin Family, strengthened by what the Family had put forth, the relationship between the two could be considered unbreakable.

Even if Hu Yuan were to fail, it wouldn't cause the Lin Family great harm.

If he succeeded, however, it would mean the Lin Family would have a Golden Core Stage Guest Elder for the next fifty years, who could assist the Family in major matters.

In the long run, what the Lin Family invested was absolutely worth what they would gain.

The agreement between him and Hu Yuan was mutually beneficial for both parties, a win-win situation.

Clearly, Hu Yuan understood this as well, which was why he accepted the conditions.

However, Lin Tianming knew that words alone were not solid proof. After all, Hu Yuan did not have the same robust relationship with the Lin Family as Ye Pinghai did, so a few years of acquaintance were not enough to make a verbal promise and trust that he would keep his word.

If the Lin Family helped him succeed in reaching the Golden Core Realm, and Hu Yuan left the Family after his Core Formation, there was little they could do.

It wouldn't do to force him to stay by coercion, as that would only backfire.

In short, it was better to agree on things beforehand to avoid any gaps, so the Lin Family would have no concerns.

Understanding this, Lin Tianming looked at Hu Yuan and then with a clasped fist, he said, "Daoist Hu, it's not that the Lin Family doesn't trust you, but to better assist you in your Impact of the Golden Core Stage, we should swear a blood oath!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Yuan nodded, clearly understanding that the Lin Family would naturally demand this of him.

Thus, when Lin Tianming suggested it, Hu Yuan didn't hesitate, seemingly feeling that it was the natural thing to do.

Soon after, the two of them made a blood oath regarding this matter.

In a short while, having completed these things, both men smiled involuntarily, appearing to be in a rather good mood.

After a brief chat, Hu Yuan then said, "Lin, I plan to cultivate nearby for the next two years, then travel a bit to prepare some treasures for the Impact of Golden Core Stage."

"Let's meet again in two years at the Lin Family Clan Grounds!"

"Uh-huh!"

Lin Tianming nodded, thinking of when he first learned that Ye Pinghai was breaking through to the Golden Core Stage, he then clasped fists towards Hu Yuan and smiled as he spoke.

"Daoist Hu is right to be cautious. Succeeding in the Golden Core Realm is indeed not easy; you can prepare more treasures with strong defensive power, the more the merrier!"

"Exactly, that is what I was thinking as well!"

Hu Yuan nodded in response.

Afterward, having no more to discuss, the two men clasped fists and after Hu Yuan took the lead flying off in one direction, he soon disappeared into the horizon.

With Hu Yuan gone, Lin Tianming didn't delay further; he looked towards Qianchuan Market and flew towards the city gates.

Half an hour later, Lin Tianming arrived at the city's entrance.

At this moment, there were still many Qi Refining Cultivators queuing to enter and exit, a bustling scene with a cacophony of voices, seemingly unaffected by the discord of the three sects.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

He had truly been concerned that the strife among the three sects might erupt in full force and under the condition of Qianchuan Market being directly accountable to the Zhenyang Sect, it would likely become a prime target for attack.

There were many Lin Family Members here, and the Luoyun Pavilion was a pivotal business for the Family.

If the market were to be attacked, it would completely disrupt the Lin Family's current cultivation rhythm.

Not only for him but for other main Family members, it would bring significant impact.

Fortunately, the situation for now didn't seem too terrible.

At this point, Lin Tianming chatted briefly with a Zhenyang Sect Executive Officer guarding the entrance and then entered the market.

Soon, he successfully returned to the rented Cave Mansion Courtyard of the Lin Family.

Learning of his safe return, the guardian Lin Xingrong was excited and rushed over with Lin Tianyue and a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators for a reunion.

In no time, the four of them gathered in the courtyard to chat.

At this time, Lin Xingrong's expression was earnest, yet his face still revealed a broad smile, indicating his excellent mood.

However, when interacting with his son, he was always stern, appearing relatively calm.

His sister Lin Tianyue and Lin Tianhong, on the other hand, wore expressions filled with unrestrained joy. Although they were not aware of Lin Tianming's gains, the sheer delight of reuniting after more than a year was surprise enough.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Tianyue was the first to speak.

"Brother, wasn't your trip to the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm supposed to last only a year?

"Why have you returned so late?

"Did something happen to delay you?"

Lin Tianyue, still excited, clung to Lin Tianming's arm, asking several questions in quick succession, seemingly worried but also very curious about his experiences over the past year.
