Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

```

In Lin Tianming's room, a Messaging Aura flew into the room and stopped in front of him.

```

```

He opened his eyes, which had been tightly closed for several days, extended his hand to cast a Law Decree, and then the Messaging Aura dispersed, revealing the content of the message.

```

```

After a few moments, a smile appeared on his face and he immediately rose and left the room.

```

```

In the courtyard, Lin Shilu was waiting. Seeing him emerge, a smile also appeared on his face.

```

```

Lin Tianming wasted no time with pleasantries and hurriedly asked,

```

```

"Fifteenth Grandfather, did Ye mention the specifics in his communication?"

```

```

As Lin Tianming pressed for details, Lin Shilu shook his head in response,

```

```

"Li didn't elaborate; he only requested that the two of us immediately visit his Cave Mansion Courtyard for a discussion." Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire

```

```

"I suspect it has something to do with the progress regarding the shop. There's no time to waste, let's go right away!"

```

```

Subsequently, the two of them left the courtyard together and hurried towards Ye Pinghai's Cave Mansion Courtyard.

```

```

It wasn't long before Lin Tianming and Lin Shilu arrived at the entrance to Ye Pinghai's Cave Mansion Courtyard.

```

```

Ye Pinghai had been waiting for them. Seeing the visitors, he manipulated a spell to open the cave mansion's wards, and the two walked in, one after another.

```

```

As soon as they entered his Cave Mansion Courtyard, Lin Shilu performed a fist-and-palm salute and immediately began to inquire.

```

```

"Ye, has there been progress with the shop?"

```

```

Seeing the anxious look on Lin Shilu's face, Ye Pinghai said with a smile,

```

```

"Lin, indeed there has been progress. The Gao Family does intend to transfer the shop, but currently, it's not just you—many families are considering taking over Lingxiao Tower."

```

```

Upon hearing this, expressions of uncontained joy spread across the faces of Lin Shilu and Lin Tianming.

```

```

For the past several days, the two had been losing sleep, constantly focusing on this matter. Since there had been significant progress, their excitement was naturally overwhelming.

```

```

As the two gradually calmed down, Ye Pinghai continued,

```

```

"Don't get too excited just yet. Although the transfer is confirmed, there are several competitors who also want to take over Lingxiao Tower."

```

```

"Ye, have you confirmed which families they are?" Lin Shilu asked urgently.

```

```

"If all goes as expected, the Wei Family and the Zhou Family from Qingfeng Mountain Range will certainly be involved; they have joined forces against the Gao Family. Aside from coveting the Gao Family's treasures, they surely won't pass up the shop either!

```

```

"In addition to the Wei and Zhou families, there are also the Chen Clan from the Hengyang Mountain Range and the Zhu Family from the Xiuyue Mountain Range. Other Foundation Establishing Families with insufficient strength are hardly a concern; they're mostly just making up the numbers."

```

```

Hearing this news from Ye Pinghai, Lin Tianming and Lin Shilu's expressions turned somewhat unsightly.

```

```

For just one shop, there were several families competing whose strength was not inferior to that of the Lin Family. Indeed, success wouldn't come easily.

```

```

With this in mind, Lin Shilu spoke gravely,

```

```

"Ye, I've heard of these major families. Their strength is indeed remarkable. Does our Lin Family stand a chance at acquiring it?"

```

```

After some thought, Ye Pinghai began to analyze.

```

```

"To be honest, in comparison to the other four major families, the Lin Family is at a disadvantage. However, your ancestor was a Mid Stage Golden Core Cultivator who once made a name for himself in the Wei Kingdom. Although overall strength is lacking, it doesn't mean there's no chance."

```

```

Hearing Ye Pinghai's comforting words, Lin Shilu's complexion looked a bit better.

```

```

However, he understood that even though their ancestor had once been renowned, he had passed away more than six hundred years ago; past fame wouldn't be of much help now, and it was their own strength that mattered most.

```

```

While Lin Shilu was lost in thought, Ye Pinghai spoke again.

```

```

"The reason I messaged you today is because there has been a significant development. I have been visiting old friends these past few days, and it has been somewhat fruitful!"

```

```

"Is that so?" Lin Shilu asked eagerly, his face flushing with excitement.

```

```

"Just today, I visited Li Xiuyuan. I explained the Lin Family's appeal to him and we've arranged to visit him tomorrow with you."

```

```

Before he could finish, Lin Shilu could not contain his joy, and quickly asked,

```

```

"Li Xiuyuan? Do you mean that Li Xiuyuan, the Senior Executive Officer of the Market Institution?"

```

```

"Exactly!"

```

```

Hearing Ye Pinghai confirm it again, this time Lin Tianming was also thrilled.

```

```

They had not been idle these past few days, collecting much information about the families and key figures in the market. Li Xiuyuan's name was indeed well-known to them.

```

This Li Xiuyuan is no ordinary person; he is a core disciple of the Zhenyang Sect with the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Eighth Level, possessing immense strength, and he also holds the position of a senior executive officer in the market institution.

As everyone knows, the highest-ranking individuals in the market institution are the Golden Elixir Experts, but the Golden Core Cultivators are mostly busy pursuing the path of eternal life and have no time or energy to manage the trivial matters of the market institution.

Therefore, three senior executive officers are appointed to manage the market institution on their behalf.

It can be said that when the Golden Core Cultivators are absent, Li Xiuyuan and a few other senior executive officers are the de facto managers of the market institution; their status and strength are extraordinary, and countless Foundation Establishing Families seek to ingratiate themselves with them.

He couldn't believe that Ye Pinghai could actually befriend Li Xiuyuan and even get him to help.

Seeing the puzzled expressions on Lin Tianming and the others, Ye Pinghai also explained:

"In his early years, Li of the market institution had a low level of cultivation and had requested my help to refine several batches of elixirs; hence, he owed me a favor. Today, when I sought his help, he was willing to lend a hand."

After pondering for a moment, Ye Pinghai continued:

"However, although Li holds an office in the market institution, he doesn't have the final say alone; the other two executive officers also naturally need to be well taken care of."

After Ye Pinghai finished speaking, Lin Shilu felt relieved and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"It goes without saying, Lin of the market institution is willing to help, which is fortunate enough. Still, we cannot let him be busy for nothing. Moreover, I have already made preparations."

Ye Pinghai nodded and then said:

"Alright, I have already arranged to meet with him tomorrow. At that time, you shall accompany me to visit him!"

After a brief chat and finalizing the matter, Lin Tianming and another person took their leave and returned to their own cave mansion.

Sitting in his cave mansion courtyard, Lin Shilu's brow was furrowed in hesitation.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming asked:

"Fifteenth Grandfather, is there any difficulty? Please share with Tian Ming and see if your grandnephew can offer help."

Lin Shilu looked at the several storage bags in front of him and then spoke up:

"We shall visit Li of the market institution tomorrow. Since we are requesting his services, we naturally must offer some treasures, otherwise, this matter might not succeed."

"Before departing, the family provided tens of thousands of Spirit Stones for us to establish a store in the market institution. How many Spirit Stones should we offer as compensation to make it appropriate?"

Lin Tianming laughed upon hearing this, finding it unexpected that Lin Shilu would worry about such a small number of Spirit Stones.

"Fifteenth Grandfather, it's already quite rare for someone to be willing to help."

"Furthermore, Lin Family has just arrived with no foundation or connections; we might still need to rely on others in the future. If we appear too stingy, it wouldn't be beneficial for our development in the market institution."

Lin Shilu nodded, agreeing with Lin Tianming's rationale, and later remarked.

"It is I who am indecisive!"

Lin Tianming understood his elder, as the Lin Family had previously lived frugally, hating to even spend a single Spirit Stone without breaking it in half, so some hesitation was within reason.

Lin Shilu regained his focus and then inquired:

"Tian Ming, how do you think we should allocate these tens of thousands of Spirit Stones?"

After pondering for a while, Lin Tianming felt that for someone of Li Xiuyuan's stature, offering five thousand Spirit Stones was too little and would likely not be taken seriously; it would probably take at least ten thousand Spirit Stones to motivate them.

With this in mind, Lin Tianming began expressing his own opinion.

"How about offering ten thousand Spirit Stones each to Ye and the three senior executive officers of the market institution?"

"The remaining ten thousand can be used for the store's rent, and if it's not enough, we can chip in more Spirit Stones to resolve this matter."

Hearing Lin Tianming's suggestion, Lin Shilu almost immediately agreed to this plan without much thought.

Having agreed on the matter, Lin Shilu said:

"The hour is getting late; let's rest for now and go together tomorrow to visit Li of the market institution!"

"Yes!"

Lin Tianming responded and then left with a bow, heading to his own room.

Back in his room, Lin Tianming was still somewhat excited.

Before coming to Qianchuan Market, he certainly did not expect to make significant progress in just a few days.

After finally calming down, he formed hand seals and circulated his Cultivation Technique through a Grand Circulation, beginning to meditate and cultivate.
