It doesn’t matter if we old folks die, but if anything were to happen to you, the Lin Family’s hopes of progressing further would diminish greatly.”
“How could we face our ancestors if it were so?”
Hearing this, Lin Tianming nodded and then smiled wryly, feeling helpless.
Right after that, Lin Tianming spoke up to reassure everyone.
“Senior family members, rest assured, after this great battle ends, the Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World is very likely to settle down completely.”
“In the next several decades, Tianming doesn’t plan to go out.”
“After all, in my view, our current cultivation resources are sufficient, and it would be good to take this opportunity to stay at the family estate and focus on cultivation, hopefully breaking through to Mid Stage Golden Core.”
...
“Otherwise, Tianming won’t easily venture out, thus naturally avoiding any risks.”
Hearing Lin Tianming’s words, Lin Shilu and a few others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In their hearts, they really feared that Lin Tianming couldn’t sit still.
If Lin Tianming were to become restless and venture out, with his bold way of doing things, he might well face some risks.
Thankfully, Lin Tianming was aware of what was important and had already made plans, otherwise, they would indeed have a lot to worry about.
“That’s good… that’s very good!”
“You, young man, should take a break for a while. I, too, plan to enter seclusion to contemplate those insights into Artifact Refining, attempting to reach Third Order Artifact Refining Master.”
“Once successful, I will immediately craft a Magical Treasure for you!” 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
Lin Shilu said this with a suddenly excited expression.
He laughed heartily and continued, “With the treasures you’ve brought back, I’m sure a few powerful weapons can be crafted, and you, young man, can further strengthen your powers!”
“Ha ha…”
“Tianming indeed has this idea and wanted to ask Fifteenth Grandfather for help in crafting a suitable Life-bound Magical Treasure.”
“Now that Fifteenth Grandfather has taken the initiative to mention this, it is really more than wonderful, precisely avoiding having to ask your elderly self!”
Lin Tianming replied excitedly, his face brimming with a broad smile.
In fact, he had this plan in mind for quite some time.
He had obtained Qianjin Ratan from Zhou Yunxiao and had given up some benefits, all in preparation for his Magical Treasure.
In his heart, he knew that to comprehensively enhance his strength, the role of a Magical Treasure was crucial.
If possible, he needed a large number of longswords, at the very least two sets of Offensive Magical Treasures.
The first being a single sword, perfectly complementing the Technique Divine Power of the Divine Firmament Nine Swords and the Heaven and Earth Sword Lotus.
Next would be the Earth Fiend Sword Array, which required seventy-two longswords.
Regarding the Earth Fiend Sword Array, he highly regarded it too, for its effects of trapping enemies and its wide-ranging Attack Power had once brought him tremendous aid.
During this battle, he had not used it much in the magic duel because the original Earth Evil Swords were not of high enough quality.
However, this does not mean he had given up on this Divine Power.
After all, the Tiangang Body Art is a Heavenly Grade Technique, and every Supernatural Attack it carries has immense power and different effects.
But the Earth Fiend Sword Array requires so many longswords that an ordinary Qi cultivator, even with the desire to refine, cannot afford such a vast consumption.
You must know, a Golden Core Cultivator’s Magical Treasures in any state of Qingzhou’s Cultivation World, are of high value.
For an ordinary Golden Core Cultivator to possess one or two Magical Treasures is already considered extremely rare.
For him to plan on crafting seventy-two Treasure Swords, and to refine them as a set, just the needed Artifact Refining Materials is probably astronomical.
Besides, this is also a great challenge and burden for an Artifact Refiner.
Looking ahead, it is foreseeable that Lin Shilu will probably not be able to find the time to do other things for the next twenty or thirty years, focusing only on maintaining the most basic cultivation.
Fortunately, the Refining of the Earth Evil Swords doesn’t require the high-quality standards of Tiangang teachings.
As long as they are of normal Magical Treasure quality, with the feature of being a complete set and with such a large quantity, they can still exert tremendous power.
Thus, the Artifact Refining Materials required for the Earth Fiend Sword Array need not be too precious, which would save a lot of costs.
Otherwise, all the precious Artifact Refining Materials acquired by the Lin Family over the years would probably have been used up by these Magical Treasures.
Reflecting on this, Lin Tianming felt somewhat helpless.
Fortunately, after the great battle had concluded, he had accumulated a vast trove of treasures, with the majority of them being artifact refining materials.
With these resources, he could barely afford the expenditure.
Not having to worry about materials was only one aspect—Lin Shilu wouldn’t need to overexert himself during the artifact refining process due to the lack of exceedingly high requirements.
As for the upcoming allocation battle between the two sects and two clans, he, both personally and on behalf of the Lin Family, aimed to obtain as much as possible.
With the support of that batch of resources and treasures, he believed the refining of several magical treasures could proceed more smoothly and could meet his expectations.
He had even secretly speculated how strong he would be if he possessed sufficiently powerful magical treasures.
If he were to face Zhou Yunxiao or Lu Xingfeng in a duel, what were his odds of winning?
He continuously reflected and speculated, having previous encounters to reference.
After all, he had twice withstood the attacks of Late Stage Golden Core Cultivators by relying on the Divine Power of the Earth’s Sword Lotus.
However, in terms of defense, even if his offensive magical treasure improved, enduring a life-or-death magic duel with a Late Stage Golden Core Cultivator might still not last very long.
But if he obtained a potent offensive magical treasure as he envisioned, with his prowess in supernatural attacks, he might not necessarily be much weaker than them.
Indeed, if he could seize the right moment, perhaps he could match a Late Stage Golden Core Cultivator.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming resolved that he must enhance his magical treasures in every aspect.
He was well aware that only with greater strength could he approach anything with more confidence.
He always believed in this principle and would never change.
Regaining his focus, Lin Tianming stored these thoughts in his mind, prioritizing the matters at hand and deciding to take later issues one step at a time.
Meanwhile, the few people who had been exuberant earlier had now regained their composure.
They proceeded to discuss the current situation and the Lin Family’s general development direction for the future.
Having returned from the battlefield last, Lin Tianming had a better understanding of the situation regarding the Golden Sword Sect.
Additionally, during his return journey, he had a long conversation with Tang Xiuyuan, inquiring about the general state of affairs in the Wei Kingdom and the Huangyang Kingdom’s Cultivation Worlds.
According to the information he had gathered, the Huangyang Kingdom’s three sects had suffered a significant setback and remarkably, hadn’t reacted too vehemently, which surprised Lin Tianming.
Regard the situation in the Wei Kingdom itself, it was a one-sided affair.
Considering the resolve of the Zhenyang Sect and Myriad Medicine Valley, as well as the current plight of the remnants of the Golden Sword Sect, perhaps it wouldn’t take half a year to capture them all.
Even if some managed to slip through the net, they would likely hide their identity or flee to other countries to survive, posing no significant threat to the Golden Elixir Forces of the Wei Kingdom.
In light of this, Lin Tianming shared all the information he had with others and mentioned the specific arrangements for a high-level gathering set by Zhou Yunxiao.
Upon learning this, Lin Shihua and others nodded in agreement, none objecting to the plans.
However, Lin Shikang had already gone to the Golden Sword Sect’s territory to oversee the Lin Family Members’ hunting operations and to monitor the control of benefits for the Lin Family.
Therefore, which members of the Lin Family would be sent to Qingshui Market and the specific scheme for the distribution of benefits remained unknown.
Given that the matter was crucial to the Lin Family’s century-long development plan, it would definitely need to be discussed with Lin Shikang.
Thus, the concrete action plan would have to wait until Lin Shikang’s return, or when the Lin Family Members went to Golden Sword Mountain to convene with him.
However, there was no rush for this matter, as there was still almost a year’s time.
After discussing, Lin Tianming and the others decided to set this aside for a while.
Following the settlement of these issues, Lin Tianming and the others made small talk for a while before bidding each other farewell.
Lin Tianming left the cave dwelling together with Lin Shigong and headed towards their mother’s cave dwelling to enjoy a good reunion.
Just Lin Xingrong, Lin Tianyue, and Qin Xi were still executing family missions on the Golden Sword Sect’s turf, so the family gathering was not entirely complete.
However, even so, three generations of the family still dined together that evening and chatted for a long time before returning to their own cave dwellings.
Back in his long-missed cave dwelling, Lin Tianming had settled all matters at hand.
Exhausted, he had no intention of delaying any further and directly entered the resting room, quickly falling into a deep sleep.
