As the inspection came to an end, the sky also gradually darkened.
At this time, noticing that evening was approaching, Lin Tianming promptly sent a message to Lin Tianqin.
Shortly after, he met this cousin of his, as well as two other Foundation Establishment Cultivators, in the cultivation chamber where Lin Tianqin was in seclusion.
Having not seen her for several years, Lin Tianqin’s cultivation had improved rapidly and she had reached the peak of the Fifth Level of Foundation Establishment. Her aura was incredibly robust, indicating that her foundation was exceptionally solid.
If this trend continued, perhaps within a year, Lin Tianqin would surely step into the Sixth Level of Foundation Establishment Realm.
Beyond that, her skills in alchemy had also greatly improved, and she had become a Second Order Alchemist quite some time ago. It was likely that after so many years, reaching Second Order Medium Quality would not be difficult. 𝘯𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Apart from her, the other two Foundation Establishment Cultivators were also from the Tian generation of the clan, having caught the most prosperous time of the family. Only a few years younger than Lin Tianming, they reaped the benefits during the family’s period of rapid development.
...
Now in their forties, they have reached the realm of the Foundation Establishment Second Layer, clearly also among the talented in the clan.
It seemed that as the Tian generation entered their prime, a new generation of Chang generation clan members had already emerged three years ago.
And this Tian generation was gradually becoming the backbone of the clan, guarding the family’s main industries.
Just like Lin Tianqin, Lin Tianyue, and Lin Tianhong, even at the lowest, they had reached the Fourth Level of Foundation Establishment. At such an age, they were already in charge of the Qianchuan Market, even extending to the Golden Horn Mountain.
Now it seemed that the Tian generation had slowly taken over the elders’ tasks, bearing the weighty responsibility of the family’s rise.
At this time, seeing that Lin Tianqin and the others had not fallen behind in their cultivation, and considering the changes they had brought to this place over the years, Lin Tianming felt genuinely relieved at their contributions.
After exchanging greetings, they shared some information, especially on the details of the internal affairs of the family and the external forces.
Hearing of the great wars among the three sects, Lin Tianqin remained quite calm.
In her view, the Lin Family was a minor outlier in such a resource-scarce area with no chance of attracting the attention or ire of other Golden Core forces.
Little did she know the changes that had occurred in the Lin Family over the past ten years, or could she have imagined that the family had already gained two members who had entered the Golden Core Stage, with the steadfast support of two other Golden Core Cultivators.
If one day she were to find out the inside story, she probably would be utterly astonished.
In this regard, Lin Tianming was keen to share the good news with her, but considering the sensitive situation of the Lin Family at present, he continued to keep his lips sealed and did not reveal a hint of information to her.
Lin Tianqin, kept in the dark, continued to caution him to be careful when outside, as if it were still the same decades ago when they were in the Qi Refinement Realm.
This kind of admonishment was exactly like that of an elder sister.
Facing the nagging Lin Tianqin, Lin Tianming quickly promised to be cautious, which finally reassured his caring cousin.
To Lin Tianming, Lin Tianqin’s concerns did not feel bothersome at all; instead, his heart warmed up, filled with comfort.
Recalling his early days on the path of immortality, Lin Tianqin had given him a lot of help. Her straightforward personality, combined with her role as the elder sister of the Tian generation, meant she was exceptionally warm-hearted toward her younger clan brothers and sisters, providing them with help to the best of her ability.
From her perspective, she certainly did what she ought to do.
Even now, as Lin Tianming’s cultivation far surpassed her own, Lin Tianqin did not forget to offer her advice. This caring gesture was exactly what an elder sister should do.
And such a scene also reflected the charm of familial affection.
Lin Tianming deeply appreciated this, and without stinginess, he took out some elixirs and Second Order talisman paper that he no longer needed and shared them with his fellow clan members.
Initially resistant to Lin Tianming’s gifts, Lin Tianqin even promptly refused them.
Only after Lin Tianming mentioned he had reached the Great Perfection realm of Foundation Establishment and no longer needed the spiritual objects for that stage, did she reluctantly accept them.
In her heart, she couldn’t help but marvel at how terrifying Lin Tianming’s talent truly was!
Her thinking was not strange at all: after all, Lin Tianming was only in his forties and had been cultivating for just over thirty years, yet he had reached such a realm of Great Perfection in Foundation Establishment.
Such a speed of cultivation was indeed frightening.
“`
One must know that after reaching the late stages of Foundation Establishment, progressing to each new level is not an easy feat; even at the Foundation Establishment fifth level realm, she had already experienced the hardships.
Yet, Lin Tianming seemed to have no bottlenecks, his cultivation soared through the ranks.
Speeding through cultivation was one thing, but surpassing cultivators of the same order in strength was another.
His battle achievements were simply too dazzling, dominating the beast tide wars with the strength of the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.
Beyond that, in the Tianfeng Secret Realm, he similarly outshone a group of genius cultivators from the three sects, achieving unprecedented battle results.
Being able to do this at his age and level of cultivation already proved his potential and talent.
Deeply aware of this, Lin Tianqin grew increasingly admiring of Lin Tianming.
Beyond admiration, there was a greater sense of relief and pride for the Lin Family to have such a clansman.
With these emotions, Lin Tianming and the others engaged in deep conversation until late into the night.
In the meantime, he also offered several pointers on cultivation, including Alchemy, and was equally generous with his guidance to Lin Tianqin.
With his true cultivation at the Golden Core Stage, coupled with the experience of a Second Order High-Grade Alchemy Master, guiding them was a breeze.
That night, Lin Tianqin and the other two benefited greatly until Lin Tianming suggested they rest, and only then did they reluctantly bid farewell and leave.
Lin Tianming, too, did not linger long; after leaving Lin Tianqin’s cave dwelling, he headed for rest as arranged by his clansmen.
The next morning.
He left the Golden Horn Mountain Clan Territory and once again mounted the Purple Gold Eagle, flying towards Qianchuan Market.
Another six days passed.
With the Purple Gold Eagle’s full-speed flight, he successfully arrived at the outskirts of Qianchuan Market.
Along the way, he had passed through the Hengyang and Luoyang mountain ranges, paying close attention to the changes in these areas.
After his reconnaissance, he obtained scant information, which was hardly useful at all.
It seemed that, despite their closer proximity to Qianchuan Market than the Luoyun Mountain Range, their overall strength was too weak, and their intelligence was not as informed as that of the Lin Family.
Besides that, these two mountain ranges were relatively calm internally, with all the major family forces focused on closed-door cultivation, and there was little interaction between cultivators—hardly anyone engaged in long-distance activities unless necessary.
Such changes, however, were within Lin Tianming’s expectations.
After all, the current state of the Cultivation World was unstable, and with the pretext of the great war among the three sects, the Zhenyang Sect had drafted many Foundation Establishment Cultivators for the war, not sparing even the stronger Qi Refining Families.
Under such circumstances, these family forces were weakened and all striving for their own protection; who would seek trouble at such a critical juncture?
This response from the major family forces was naturally within reason.
On this trip to Qianchuan, the journey took less time than before, arriving three days earlier than usual.
It seems that as the realm and strength of the Purple Gold Eagle improved, and with his Golden Core Stage cultivation to reinforce it, even flying has become unimpeded.
With such conditions, they were able to travel from the clan territory to Qianchuan Market in just seven days.
Should the realm of the Purple Gold Eagle step further, it’s conceivable that the flight speed could be improved again.
By then, reaching Qianchuan Market within five days might not be impossible.
Considering this, Lin Tianming planned to help the Purple Gold Eagle advance to the late Second Order phase once he returned home, especially since he had plenty of Second Order Demonic Beast corpses on hand.
With such a vast resource support, the advancement of the Purple Gold Eagle into the late Second Order phase was merely a matter of time.
Refocusing his thoughts, Lin Tianming looked at the familiar market wall in front of him, then carefully scrutinized it, hoping to discern something from its exterior.
