Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

In summary, the probability of encountering a Secret Realm greatly increases in the vicinity of where a Token is found, and no one who has obtained a Mysterious Realm Token is willing to forfeit such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Having obtained the Mysterious Moon Order within the borders of the Wei Kingdom, it was very likely that a Secret Realm would open nearby. They only needed to discretely gather information, closely monitor the situation, and wait for the Secret Realm to manifest.

Lin Tianming gathered his thoughts, tucked the two Tokens away, and patted his chest to assure they would be carefully guarded.

After Lin Shilu gave a few instructions, the matter of the Tokens was temporarily concluded.

Examining the remaining three jade slips, each of them picked up one to peruse.

A tea time passed, and after going through the three jade slips, they finished tallying everything.

Among these jade slips, one contained a fire attribute Yellow Grade Technique called "Tian Li Fire Scripture," known for its formidable attack power and considered a fine piece among Yellow Grade Techniques—presumably the one practiced by Gu Tong.

The other two jade slips, however, were ordinary: one was the insights of a Second Order Artifact Refiner.

The other was the insights of a Second Order Inscription Master; the quality was limited but still had worthwhile aspects. It could only be taken back to the clan for the members to study, which would enhance their cultivation techniques to some extent.

Lin Shilu took the Artifact Refiner's insights and glanced over it before putting it into his storage bag, clearly planning to delve into it.

After all, he was a Refinement Maniac. Even though the Refiner who left these insights might not be at his level, there was still potential learning to be had that could be helpful.

Meanwhile, Lin Tianming retrieved from his storage bag the Magic Artifacts used by Gu Tong: the Five Rod Flag and a Golden Seal named the Overturning Mountain Seal.

He lined up the two Magic Artifacts in front of him. All the treasures obtained from Gu Tong were now collected in front of the two of them.

Gazing at the six different kinds of Magic Artifacts, Lin Shilu's expression was one of great excitement, and Lin Tianming was equally thrilled.

The Lin Family had many Foundation Establishment Cultivators. During the family battle on Luoyun Mountain, several newly advanced Foundation Establishment members of the clan had only First Order Spiritual Tools to confront their enemies. It was after the annihilation of the Jin Family that they acquired several Magic Artifacts, allowing every Foundation Establishment member to wield a Magic Artifact.

Now, acquiring six more Magic Artifacts, with the Five Rod Flag and Overturning Mountain Seal both being Second Order Medium Quality Magic Artifacts, and a set of nine flying needles that formed a complete Spiritual Tool, the craftsmanship was quite impressive. They were fine artifacts even among those of the same caliber.

The remaining three Magic Artifacts consisted of two Spirit Swords and a Spiritual Whip over ten yards long, all of which were First Order Inferior Magic Artifacts with average quality, but they were still much better than First Order Top-Quality Spiritual Instruments.

Looking at the numerous Spiritual Tools and Magical Treasures, Lin Shilu pondered before saying:

"Tian Ming, let's each select two pieces among these Magic Artifacts. As for the Spirit Stones, we'll each take ten thousand. How about we submit all the remaining treasures to the clan?"

Hearing Lin Shilu's proposal, Lin Tianming did not hesitate a moment before gladly agreeing.

Although these spoils of war were obtained through their joint efforts and rightfully belonged to them—moreover, the clan had no rules forcing members to hand over their treasures—the Lin Family had been established for over eight hundred years, and the members traditionally volunteered their contributions, with only the amount varying.

As Lin Shilu was the main contributor to their gains on this mission and had suffered severe injuries as a result, he showed no concern for the vast amount of treasures. Lin Tianming felt even less entitled to care.

In terms of power, even if Lin Shilu hadn't mentioned such an arrangement, Lin Tianming was planning to submit most of his share of the loot.

However, he also had to consider his own needs, especially since the effects of the Qiuxing Fruits were excellent and he desperately needed them to sustain his cultivation until he found a solution to the elixir issue.

With this in mind, Lin Tianming hesitated. Seeing his manner of holding back, Lin Shilu had already guessed what was on his mind.

"The Qiuxing Fruits are highly beneficial to you, I'm well aware of that. There are thirty-six in total; take out ten as a share for your Third Brother and the others, and keep the rest for your own cultivation!" said Lin Shilu.

"Thank you, Fifteenth Grandfather!"

Lin Tianming removed ten Qiuxing Fruits, placing them amongst the many treasures, then sincerely bowed to him.

Lin Shilu nodded, then motioned for him to select a Spiritual Tool.

Lin Tianming wasn't too sentimental. He looked at the six magic artifacts on the field and hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to choose.

He had experienced the bizarre attacks of the Five Rod Flag, and the soul attacks within it were also very powerful. However, they had been largely destroyed by Lin Shilu, causing their power to greatly diminish.

After some thought, Lin Tianming still decided to choose the Five Rod Flag, mainly because the prospects of this artifact were very good. As long as he kept adding souls to it, its power could be quickly enhanced.

Besides, this artifact could complement his Earth Fiend Sword Formation. With both at his command, enemies simply couldn't react in time.

Moreover, he had plenty of Qingxu Snake souls and Black Armored Beetle souls in his possession. If he sealed them all into the flag, its power would surely be no less than during Gu Tong's period.

Having made up his mind, Lin Tianming collected the Five Rod Flag and then glanced at the Golden Seal before looking at the nine silver-white needles. In the end, he chose the nine silver-white needles.

The reason was simple, if he took the two best artifacts for himself, it would be rather unseemly. Furthermore, he already had plenty of magic artifacts, and acquiring the Overturning Mountain Seal wouldn't significantly increase his strength.

Since his father still lacked a suitable artifact and it was quite dangerous for him to be alone, he planned to take the nine matching needle artifacts as a gift for him. That way, his father's safety in defending Golden Horn Mountain would be assured.

With this in mind, he immediately collected the nine needles and then waited for Lin Shilu to pick his artifact.

Lin Shilu didn't hesitate and directly put the Overturning Mountain Seal and the Spirit Sword artifact into his storage bag.

With the distribution of artifacts complete, Lin Shilu waved one hand and grabbed twenty thousand spirit stones, taking ten thousand from them to give to Lin Tianming.

Having done all this, he waved his hand again, pulling out several jade bottles from his storage bag, which contained souls he had collected. However, they were mostly from First Order demon beasts, with only two from the Second Order.

Lin Tianming received the items, feeling incredibly moved. Whatever was on his mind, Lin Shilu seemed to understand clearly, always giving him what he needed without any hesitation.

Lin Shilu chuckled and gave him a comforting look before speaking,

"All these things have been distributed now. Leave the First Order elixirs in Luoyun Pavilion and send the elixirs you've refined back to the family for our people to use. Sell the inferior ones in the market square!"

Hearing this, Lin Tianming nodded and put all the treasures into a storage bag.

After finishing this, Lin Tianming took the initiative to say,

"Fifteenth Grandfather, your injuries aren't fully healed yet, and the Qingxu Snake eggs cannot be delayed. Tianming wishes to leave the market square in half a month to return to the family land, deliver the items we've obtained this time, and bring back a batch of spiritual objects to replenish Luoyun Pavilion's stock."

Hearing Lin Tianming's offer to volunteer, Lin Shilu hesitated for a moment.

He was concerned about letting Lin Tianming leave the market square alone to return to Green Bamboo Mountain, but under current circumstances, a trip back to the family land was indeed necessary.

Since he was injured and unable to exert even a third of his strength and could not recover to his peak in a short time, it was not appropriate for him to travel.

After pondering for a good while and considering that Lin Tianming's strength was not much less than his, Lin Shilu sighed deeply.

"So be it!"

"You should cultivate in seclusion these next few days to properly re-refine your artifacts and adjust your condition, then you can set out!"

After saying this, he spoke earnestly and instructed,

"I'll arrange for Xing Li to prepare the family's elixirs and spirit stones at Luoyun Pavilion. Remember to be careful on this trip; don't delay too much on the road. When you return, have your Third Uncle bring Xing Ping to the market square as well. With him accompanying you, it will be a bit safer."

Lin Tianming's expression was solemn, and he bowed respectfully to Lin Shilu, then pledged confidently,

"Fifteenth Grandfather, rest assured, Tianming will not disappoint and will return to see you as soon as possible!"

"Hmm... go and cultivate!"

Lin Tianming nodded, then bowed with a fist, stood up, and walked towards his training room.
