NOVPUBHearing Lin Tianming’s impassioned speech, Lin Shikang’s face flushed with excitement, and a surge of hot blood boiled within him.
He couldn’t help but sigh. "Alas... it’s really a tough decision!"
"If only I could step into the Golden Core Stage, or Daoist Ye could break through to the Golden Core Stage, all problems would be easily solved."
Regrettably... regrettably, time does not wait for the Lin Family!"
At that moment, Lin Shikang longed intensely for the path to the Golden Core. If the family had a Golden Core Cultivator, the three great sects would not dare to offend the Lin Family lightly, and things would not be so difficult.
Regaining his composure, Lin Shikang scanned the few people present and finally nodded, saying, "Enough... since you, Tianming, have such confidence and are willing to take this risk, I will agree to your request."
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianming nodded, feeling a surge of warm blood rushing to his heart.
"Third Grandfather, Twelfth Grandpa, rest assured, I will definitely return safely, and the family here can only rely on you!"
Lin Shihua waved his hand in response, "Since Tianming is confident, we old folks won’t say much else!"
"At Golden Horn Mountain, we’ll send out Xing Zhi and Tianhu to strengthen their defenses. With Formation Protection, they shouldn’t encounter any powerful Demon Beast Tribes, and there should be no trouble for a short time."
Lin Shikang nodded and then instructed, "Alright... Tomorrow, let Shihua receive Li Huafeng, and Tianming, rest in the clan for two more days before departing."
"That’s the arrangement, everyone go about your tasks!"
Lin Tianming and the others stood up one after another and left the great hall.
Exiting the grand hall, Lin Tianming and Lin Shigong returned together to the dwelling of their mother.
Having been constantly at war in the south and north, or in seclusion for cultivation, he definitely needed to prepare well before leaving and take the time to reunite with his mother and others.
That night, except for Lin Xingrong who was not back from Golden Horn Mountain, Lin Tianyue also emerged from seclusion to gather with them.
After dinner, the family of four sat in the courtyard, drinking tea and chatting.
Learning that Lin Tianming was going to the front lines to participate in the war, the mother and sister’s expressions were less than pleased, aside from Lin Shigong.
At this moment, both mother and sister were persuading him, hoping he would give up the idea.
Seeing the stiff expressions on the faces of Lin Tianyue, Lin Shigong began to speak.
"Yuxuan, this matter has been discussed by Third Uncle and Shihua, and given Tianming’s personality, persuasion is pointless, so let’s not say anymore."
"Mother, rest assured, I know my limits. Now I’ve cultivated to the Foundation Establishment Fifth Level, and the resources needed for further cultivation are becoming increasingly substantial."
"Granted, participating in a major battle is risky, but doesn’t it also come with opportunities?"
"We cultivators should always forge ahead. If we shrink back when we face challenges, how can we make progress?"
Lin Tianming spoke sincerely, displaying extreme determination, without any thought of retreating.
Seeing him so resolute, and considering the situation in the clan, Ren Yuxuan was very helpless but had to give up on the idea of continuing to persuade him. 𝓃𝓸𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
Lin Tianyue sighed helplessly and then took out a large number of Second Order talisman papers from her storage bag, easily over a dozen, and judging by the residual aura, they appeared to be drawn by her.
This time, Lin Tianming did not refuse his sister’s kindness and took all of the talismans.
Although these lower-grade Second Order talismans were of limited use to himself, he took them to put his sister’s mind at ease.
Then, the grandfather and mother took out some treasures, including some talismans and elixirs.
Lin Tianming wasn’t pretentious and took the useful items. He did not accept the cultivation and healing elixirs, since he had a surplus of these resources, which were mostly provided by him and would last for several years.
Afterward, the grandfather and mother gave a few words of advice, and Lin Tianming earnestly promised he would be careful, only then did they leave the matter.
As night fell, each returned to their own rest, and Lin Tianming left the courtyard with his grandfather to return to his own dwelling.
The next day, in the family’s Guest-Receiving Palace.
Several members of the family with the surname ’Shi’ sat together, including Lin Tianming. In the guest’s chair, Li Huafeng and Shen Yu were seated.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lin Shihua said to Li Huafeng, "Li, after discussion within the family, Tianming will be sent to Qianchuan Market in a couple of days, and at that time, we hope you and the rest will take good care of him!"
Once he finished speaking, Lin Shihua threw two storage bags at Li Huafeng and Shen Yu.
Li Huafeng and Shen Yu each caught a bag and briefly glanced at the Spirit Stones inside before revealing a knowing smile.
The Lin Family was generous; twenty thousand Spirit Stones was not a small amount. For an ordinary Foundation Establishment Medium Stage cultivator, twenty thousand Spirit Stones could be nearly their entire wealth apart from their Magic Artifacts and elixirs.
Although they were Inner Sect Disciples of the Zhenyang Sect, the Spirit Stones they had on hand were quite limited. If they attempted to advance to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, they would need plenty of resources, so these twenty thousand Spirit Stones were a significant fortune to them.
They had a not insignificant status within the Sect. Undertaking this transmission task, although it came with some risks, was considered an easy job.
Many families, for the safety of their members participating in the big war, had to offer some treasures to win their favor, and they didn’t need to be polite.
Collecting his thoughts, Li Huafeng stowed the storage bag and then said with a smile,
"Haha... Chief Lin, you’re too kind. Rest assured, brethren. My mentor is also participating in the great battle at the front lines and commands a small team."
"Once I return to the Sect, I will surely introduce Tianming to my mentor and put in some good words. If all goes smoothly, arranging some simple tasks for Tianming will not be difficult at all."
