NOVPUBChapter 798: Chapter 430 Lin Tianming’s Anxiety_2 Chapter 798: Chapter 430 Lin Tianming’s Anxiety_2 Even though the Lin Family had Second Order Refiners and Alchemists, it was still nearly impossible to sustain the consumption of dozens of Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the family.
After all, Lin Shilu and Lin Tianming’s time was limited, and they needed to cultivate themselves, so naturally they couldn’t spend every day performing alchemy and artifact refining.
And the Four Arts of Cultivation skills of family members like Lin Tianyue, Lin Tianhong, and Lin Tianqin were, for the time being, still not at the High Quality level.
Therefore, Second Order Superior items of high value were still quite scarce for the Lin Family.
However, although these items were still of high value to the Lin Family, they weren’t considered too precious for those Golden Elixir Forces with legacies spanning thousands of years.
In particular, Sky Dragon Pavilion, originating from the heart of Qingzhou and a Nascent Soul Force with business spread across countries large and small in Qingzhou, also had no lack of exquisite items for sale.
As long as the Lin Family was willing to pay the price, they could still acquire high-value items.
...
And the gains from today’s extensive buying left him quite satisfied.
Beyond that, through interactions with these leaders from across the lands, Lin Tianming opened his eyes to new horizons and met quite a few talented and distinguished leaders.
More importantly, he could also obtain some useful information through the messages provided by these leaders.
This information included the results of battles from the Three Great Sects of Wei Kingdom, as well as the specific details about the Golden Elixir Forces in Huangyang Kingdom.
And this information was precisely what he needed to grasp at the moment.
With the day’s activities, he also gained a deeper understanding of both the internal workings of Wei Kingdom and the countries surrounding it.
Only at this moment did he realize that the Lin Family’s foundation truly couldn’t compare to those major forces.
After all, their business spread across several neighboring countries, and with hundreds or thousands of family members walking among them, they could collect more treasures and earn more profits daily.
Unlike the Lin Family, which hadn’t even firmly established itself in Wei Kingdom and had a very limited influence.
The key point was that the Luoyun Mountain Range, and even the entirety of the Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World, were considered barren lands.
Just by managing Luoyun Pavilion and Luoyun Market, two of the Lin Family’s significant industries, the income of Spirit Stones was extremely limited in a year.
However, the Lin Family had already advanced two levels compared to several decades ago; such a rate of progress was already quite rapid.
But to achieve a certain level of foundation, especially that of others, there was still a long road ahead.
What the Lin Family needed to do first was to enhance the strength of top clan members, then expand the Lin Family’s influence, develop more industries, and cultivate more powerful clan members.
As for this step, it would require the concerted effort of the entire family for decades, or even longer.
Lin Tianming was rather calm about this, knowing that being anxious was useless, as a foundation was not something that could be achieved with just a few decades of rapid development.
Just like those forces that had been passed down for tens of thousands of years, each one had experienced the joint efforts of dozens of generations before reaching their current level.
In comparison, the Lin Family achieving such results in such a short time was already miraculous. 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Because he understood this, Lin Tianming was not discouraged at all but instead felt a kind of expectation inside him, to surely lead his family to rise and stand alongside the great powers of Qingzhou.
In his firm belief, with the Lin Family’s thousands of members united as one, they would one day reach that step.
And he would be the leader in the family’s rise.
The path to rising might be difficult and even fraught with dangers.
But what of it?
He was not afraid of facing dangers, nor of the long time it might take, as after all, he was young and full of talent, with the belief that one day he could cut through all barriers to reach the goal in his heart and earn sufficient rewards for his efforts.
That day would surely come, and the Lin Family would also stand as one of the top powers in Qingzhou.
As evening approached.
After finishing a busy day’s schedule, Lin Tianming and a few family members such as Lin Xingrong sat together chatting leisurely.
After exchanging greetings, Lin Tianming and the others briefly shared some information.
Lin Xingrong was also busy today; he and a few others went out to visit old friends to both network and gather information.
However, the only people they could connect with were ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators or, at most, disciples of the Zhenyang Sect, as well as some disciples from the local Golden Core forces.
As a result, the information they could obtain was quite limited; however, just like Lin Tianming, gathering intelligence was only one of their goals, seeking partnerships was another.
Given that they were out and about, and the Lin Family’s reputation had greatly increased over the years, it was natural that they would draw some attention from various forces.
In such circumstances, when the Lin Family actively sought collaborations, the vast majority of forces would naturally not refuse.
This way, each of them gained something, more or less.
After summarizing with Lin Tianming, he too had a list of potential collaborators, which he planned to hand over to the Clan Leader for a decision once he returned to the family lands.
When conditions were ripe, they would also proceed according to the plans laid out by the family.
But these matters did not require him to panic; what he could do was build relationships in advance. As for the actual implementation, it would certainly be the Foundation Establishment members of the family.
It was foreseeable that these family members would become the backbone of the family, whether it was in dealing with foreign enemies or expanding family business, they would undoubtedly become the most crucial element.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming provided full support to Lin Xingrong and the others. Only when their cultivation was high could they avoid being oppressed by the disciples of other forces.
After all, in the Cultivation World, strength was the greatest reliance, something everyone was well aware of.
As the group casually chatted for a while, Lin Xingrong glanced at Lin Tianming and noticed that his expression always carried a hint of worry, seemingly understanding that he must have something on his mind.
However, since Lin Tianming was silent on the matter for such a long time, it must be of great importance.
With this in mind, Lin Xingrong said to Lin Tianyue and the others beside him, “Tian Yue, Tianhong, you all go and cultivate for now!”
Upon hearing this, although Lin Tianyue and the others were puzzled, they did not ask any further questions and tactfully left.
Right after they greeted Lin Tianming and Lin Xingrong and left the small courtyard.
Watching them leave, Lin Xingrong then asked, “Tianming, has something happened?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianming nodded and proceeded to relay all the information he had gathered from Tang Xiuyuan.
After listening to Lin Tianming’s explanation, Lin Xingrong’s face turned ashen, and he became somewhat flustered.
However, his view was similar to Lin Tianming’s; regardless of whether Huangyang Kingdom’s actions were genuine and whether they had intentions toward the Wei Kingdom, the Lin Family had to take precautions.
After all, the matter was of great significance, and it was better to err on the side of caution!
Therefore, after contemplating for a long time, Lin Xingrong also suggested that Lin Tianming set off as soon as possible, complete what needed to be done, and return to the family at the earliest opportunity, perhaps staying there for a year or two longer.
Once this storm passed and everything returned to normal, that would naturally be the best outcome!
But, he feared that Huangyang Kingdom might have a genuine intention to invade.
If that were the case, the Lin Family’s plan to remain detached from worldly affairs would be disrupted.
At this moment, Lin Tianming also weighed the pros and cons and felt that Lin Xingrong made good points.
In such a situation, Lin Tianming decided to shorten his stay in Qianchuan Market and, after another two or three days, once Luoyun Pavilion had prepared all the things to be taken back to the family, he would set off without delay.
Once he left Qianchuan Market, he planned to patrol the nearby mountain ranges and spend ten days to half a month investigating the situation, then directly embark on the journey back to the clan.
Having made up his mind, Lin Tianming conferred with Lin Xingrong to determine the specific timing and then went to make their respective preparations.
Three days later.
Lin Tianming, carrying a large amount of wealth prepared by Lin Xingrong, quietly left the Lin Family Cave Mansion Courtyard.
Once outside of Qianchuan Market, Lin Tianming did not stop for a break, picked a direction, and immediately summoned the Purple Gold Eagle, then mounted Xiao Diao’s back.
The instructed Xiao Diao did not delay, promptly soaring into the sky, rapidly ascending a thousand feet high, and then flew off in a certain direction.
