NOVPUBChapter 787: Chapter 425 Agreement_1 Chapter 787: Chapter 425 Agreement_1 At that moment, Lin Shikang clearly noticed Lin Tianming’s surprise and confusion.
He smiled, nodded his head, and then began to explain.
“This bottle of Yuxu Pills did not come from me, it was rather a congratulatory gift from Brother Ye after I had made my breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage!”
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianming wasn’t surprised; even without Lin Shikang’s explanation, he could have guessed the origin of the Yuxu Pills.
But understanding the reason behind the gift made Lin Tianming feel even more reluctant to accept it.
After all, Lin Shikang was also at the Golden Core Stage Cultivation, and likewise had a great need for elixirs that aided in cultivation. He himself wouldn’t have enough use of just one bottle of Yuxu Pills, yet he was offering it as a congratulatory gift.
Realizing this, Lin Tianming hurriedly began to refuse Lin Shikang’s generous offer.
...
Seeing his reaction, Lin Shikang pretended to be upset and said, “This bottle only contains three Yuxu Pills, and even if I used them all, I would still be a long way from the Medium Stage of Condensing Golden Core. So to me, it’s rather insignificant.”
“But you, Tianming, with your talent, will surely surpass us old folks in cultivation speed. As they say, good steel is used for the blade’s edge. Any treasures that come our way in the future should naturally be prioritized for your cultivation.”
“Only with your cultivation and strength becoming greater can you give back to the family, allowing all our family members to benefit!”
Lin Shikang taught him earnestly, while he stuffed the Yuxu Pills into Lin Tianming’s hand.
On the other side, Lin Shihua also began to persuade him, insisting that Lin Tianming accept them.
Lin Tianming was very clear about the good intentions of Lin Shikang and the others; they genuinely wished him well, hoping he could go further on the Immortal Path, even at the cost of grinding their bones to dust.
Such acts of keeping valuable treasures for his use were not new to him. He recalled how during the Qi Refinement Realm and Foundation Establishment Stage, his grandfather had devoted his own cultivation resources to him.
Now that Lin Shikang had broken through to the Golden Core Stage, at the same stage of cultivation as himself, he also thought of him whenever he came across something good.
This kind of thought was the embodiment of familial affection.
Thinking of these things, Lin Tianming felt deeply moved and silently made up his mind that once he became a Third Order Alchemy Master, he would definitely repay these elders doubly.
Regathering his composure, Lin Tianming stopped being ceremonious and bowed to Lin Shikang, accepting the Yuxu Pills.
Seeing this, Lin Shikang nodded in satisfaction.
Lin Shihua laughed and teased, “What Third Brother brought out, we can’t match. Whatever we could offer, Tianming would probably not care for. We just hope that Tianming won’t blame us!”
Hearing Lin Shihua’s words, Lin Tianming hurriedly waved his hands and said, “What are you saying, Twelfth Grandpa?”
“Tianming has been taught by you all since childhood, and has received support from all the elders. Now, it’s not just that the younger generation has reached the Golden Core Stage, even if I become a Nascent Soul Cultivator, I will not forget the elders’ contributions. How could I possibly be concerned with such things?”
Lin Tianming’s tone was sincere, and his words moved Lin Shikang and the others deeply, bringing relieved smiles to their faces.
After a few polite exchanges, they started inquiring about the secluded cultivation of Lin Shilu and Hu Yuan.
According to Lin Shihua, Hu Yuan had started his seclusion earlier, and the Spiritual Energy drawn to his location was quite dense. It was expected that within a year or so, he would attract the Heavenly Tribulation.
As for Lin Shilu, everything was normal. Although he started his seclusion more than two years later than Hu Yuan, his progress seemed to be much faster.
If all went smoothly, it was possible that the days when they each faced the Heavenly Tribulation might be quite close, at the very least not as far apart as the over two years difference from the start of their seclusions.
Learning of these developments, Lin Tianming was very pleased, as he had interacted a lot with Lin Shilu, who had often been involved in major family missions alongside him.
Like the great family battle at Luoyun Mountain, the establishment of Luoyun Pavilion, the journey to Xuan Yue Mysterious Realm…
Over the years, they had experienced much together and witnessed the growth and development of the family.
In these years, Lin Shilu had given a lot for him, and whether as a family member or personally, Lin Tianming hoped that Lin Shilu would step into the Golden Core Stage.
Now that Lin Shilu was at this critical juncture, Lin Tianming sincerely hoped for his success, so they could face any major family events together in the future.
Fortunately, that day was approaching, and with Lin Shilu’s progress being smooth, it would likely take less than two years to witness him entering the Golden Core Stage.
With this thought, Lin Tianming kept the matter in mind.
Subsequently, the four chatted casually for half an hour, during which they shared many specific details about the Cultivation World.
After summarizing their information, they also learned some important details and made some speculations.
The ongoing war between the Three Sects of Wei Kingdom was undoubtedly an event of deep concern for everyone.
And according to the information they had, although the situation was currently at a stalemate, this had been the case for three to four years already.
After such a long period of probing, the basic strengths of the three sects were very clear to each other.
The initial schemes had been resolved by the other two sects, and it was unrealistic to think of using conspiracies to take advantage or even to annihilate the other two sects any longer.
Going on like this, either the Xue Gong Sect would voluntarily withdraw, or they would need to muster more forces to come to Wei Kingdom.
Otherwise, based on their current overall strength, it would be very difficult to force Myriad Medicine Valley and Zhenyang Sect to capitulate by military power.
