As he secluded himself to consolidate his cultivation, everything in the Lin Family returned to normal, with the clan members resuming their cultivation routines as if nothing was amiss.
Despite the commotion emanating from the clan’s territory that puzzled them, Lin Shihua had already instructed that no discussions or inquiries about the matter were permitted.
Having already experienced such events twice before, the sudden recurrence only made the clan members more accustomed to it, and there was little left to arouse their curiosity.
Under these circumstances, the ruckus caused by Lin Tianming’s tribulations soon settled down within the clan.
…
Half a year passed by swiftly.
Inside Lin Tianming’s secluded cave, he sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, his breathing stable, his complexion rosy and radiant, seeming to be in excellent condition.
...
At that moment, his eyes opened, and a flash of brilliance passed through the corners, faintly illuminating the dim cave.
After half a year of dedicated cultivation in seclusion, his cultivation realm had been thoroughly consolidated.
In that instant, he felt the abundant mana within him and the explosive power throughout his body, far surpassing his power during the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.
The disparity in strength was not even comparable!
By his estimates, he could now effortlessly defeat ten Foundation Establishment Late-Stage Cultivators simultaneously without exerting much effort.
That was the formidable might of a Golden Core Cultivator, for if it had been so easy to achieve a breakthrough, the Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World would not be limited to only twenty Golden Core Cultivators.
Now that he had successfully broken through to the Golden Core Realm, the Lin Family’s overall combat power included three Golden Core Stage practitioners, counting Ye Pinghai.
Such collective strength put the Lin Family in a position to move unhindered throughout the Wei Kingdom, save for the three Great Sects.
Even if they were to face any single Sect alone, the Lin Family might not be a match, but they were not without the power to resist.
Even more so, the Lin Family possessed the capability to inflict heavy damage on any of them, should they be willing to pay the price.
Thinking of all this, Lin Tianming felt boundless pride in his heart and could not help but let out a hearty laugh.
Nearly forty years into his cultivation path, he had finally stepped into the Golden Core Realm, and the Lin Family rapidly rose to prominence. 𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝒐𝙢
Moreover, Lin Shilu was next in line to attempt a breakthrough into the Golden Core Realm. Should he succeed, the Lin Family’s strength would continue to rise, improving their ability to handle crises.
However, Lin Shilu had only been in seclusion for two years, and even if his breakthrough process was smooth, it was unlikely that there would be any results just yet.
Realizing this, Lin Tianming took note of the situation before contemplating his next course of action.
After a short while, he had made up his mind, deciding to first leave his seclusion and pay a visit to the family elders.
Once they had gathered and caught up, he planned to return to his cave mansion and continue his secluded cultivation.
He chose to do so because he currently had no specific duties, as there was nothing in particular for a Golden Core Cultivator of the Lin Family to attend to.
Since he would be idle either way, he might as well continue his seclusion for a while, especially since there was an important matter at hand—cultivating the Divine Skills that came with the Tiangang Body Art.
During the Qi Refinement Realm and the Foundation Establishment Stages, he had acquired the Earth Fiend Sword Formation and the Tiangang Ninth Sword, respectively.
These two Divine Skills, one offensive and the other trapping, complemented each other and had served as his primary means of defense against enemies over the years, earning him great merit.
Now, having broken through to the Golden Core Stage, he had entered a whole new level and could cultivate another Divine Skill.
He considered the Divine Skills from the Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment Stages to be quite powerful already, and he could only imagine that a Golden Core Stage skill would be even more formidable.
With this thought in mind, he was extremely eager to discover this new Divine Skill.
Nevertheless, there was no need to rush this task; it could wait for a few days, and he could delve into the study of Divine Skills later with focused attention.
Having made his decision, Lin Tianming wasted no more time and immediately left the cave, heading towards his own cave mansion.
Shortly thereafter,
Within Lin Shikang’s cave mansion, he met with Lin Shigong and the other two “Shi” generation members of the clan.
“`
The four greeted each other and then sat down in the courtyard to drink tea and chat leisurely.
Looking around, at this moment, each of them had a beaming smile, all in an excellent mood.
It seemed that with Lin Tianming’s breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage, all the informed members of the clan were ecstatic, each feeling a sense of pride and arrogance from the bottom of their hearts, and even a touch of honor.
It wasn’t surprising, after all, the person breaking through was at the Golden Core Realm, and it was Lin Tianming, the prodigy of the Lin Family, which made it all the more extraordinary.
Years ago, the strongest member of the Lin Family was Lin Shikang, who was only at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Realm.
Now, with both individuals stepping into the Golden Core Stage one after the other, the overall strength of the Lin Family had doubled, jumping several notches.
Although other powers were not aware of it, the surge in strength of the Lin Family was solid and real, like making a fortune in silence.
However, the Lin Family had no intention of publicizing this matter, so as not to be prematurely drawn into the struggles between the three sects.
At this time, Lin Shikang was the first to regain his composure. He looked at Lin Tianming next to him and couldn’t help but show a gratified smile.
After a while, he finally spoke, “Tianming, what are your plans next?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianming did not reveal his own plans, but instead asked tentatively, “Third Grandfather, do you have any orders?”
“Hehe… I do not, I was just thinking about sitting down with you one day, my grandson, to exchange some insights on cultivation!”
“After all, we are now Golden Core Cultivators, and there are still many aspects of our cultivation that need to be explored!”
Hearing this, Lin Tianming nodded, thinking that this was indeed the case.
One must know that after a Foundation Establishment Cultivator breaks through to the Golden Core Realm, there is much to be done in a timely manner, including stabilizing one’s cultivation and grasping some techniques of cultivation.
Although the process of cultivation is almost no different from that during the Foundation Establishment Stage, Golden Core Cultivators have much greater strength, which slows down their cultivation process, and they possess a richer set of techniques. Mastering various skills can improve some of the speed of cultivation, thus saving a lot of time.
While these may seem insignificant, they are skills that must be mastered.
Having broken through a few years earlier than Lin Tianming, and having exchanged insights with Ye Pinghai, who had broken through even earlier, Lin Shikang inevitably knew more about cultivation than this newly promoted Golden Core Cultivator.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming promptly nodded and responded with a smile, “If Third Grandfather invites me, I couldn’t ask for more!”
“Besides, even if you didn’t say so, I would still seek Third Grandfather’s guidance!”
“Hm… If that’s the case, then let’s call Grandpa Sea tomorrow, and we can properly exchange our experiences. With our collective effort, we should be able to avoid some detours!”
After saying this with a laugh, Lin Shikang then took out a Jade Bottle and handed it to Lin Tianming.
Seeing Lin Shikang’s action, Lin Tianming looked puzzled and did not reach out to take the Jade Bottle.
Seeing this, Lin Shikang chuckled and said, “You, young fellow, have broken through to the Golden Core Stage. I don’t have much to give, so take this bottle of Yuxu Pills as a congratulatory gift!”
“Yuxu Pills!”
Lin Tianming looked confused, thought carefully for a moment, and then realized the function of Yuxu Pills.
Soon, he showed a look of surprise, finding it hard to believe that Lin Shikang, having only stepped into the Golden Core Stage a few years ago, had managed to secure elixirs used for the cultivation of Golden Core Cultivators.
It is known that at the Golden Core level, the elixirs that assist in cultivation are extremely rare.
The Yuxu Pill is one of the most common elixirs!
Its function was similar to the Lingshen Pill and Fusion Spirit Pill used by Foundation Establishment Cultivators, containing a vast amount of energy that could accelerate the cultivation of mana and improve a Golden Core Cultivator’s realm.
The value of such elixirs in a barren place like the Wei Kingdom was quite precious.
Even the Golden Core Cultivators of the three great sects could not always rely on elixirs for cultivation. In fact, for the vast majority of the time, they depended on meditation and breath control to improve their realm.
In such circumstances, once they encountered Third or Fourth Order Spiritual Medicine suitable for alchemy or came across ready-made Third Order Pills that could enhance their realm, they would do everything possible to obtain them.
Since Lin Shikang was not an Alchemist, and the Lin Family did not have a stockpile of such elixirs, the difficulty in obtaining some Yuxu Pills at this critical juncture was imaginable.
