NOVPUBChapter 938: Chapter 498: Return Fully Loaded_2 Chapter 938: Chapter 498: Return Fully Loaded_2 The group, having each reaped some benefits, was in high spirits and soon began exchanging cultivation experiences.
With Lu Xingfeng and Zhou Yunxiao, two powerful Late Stage Golden Core cultivators present, their experiences were of great help to Lin Tianming and the other Early Stage Golden Core cultivators.
Lin Tianming and the others earnestly sought advice, and Zhou Yunxiao and Lu Xingfeng were generous with their knowledge.
After a round of exchanges, everyone benefited greatly, gaining a deeper understanding of cultivation.
It was foreseeable that in their future cultivation journey, they would be able to avoid some detours.
It wasn’t until midday that this exchange meeting finally concluded.
Lin Tianming and his two companions bid farewell and then left the auction together.
...
Shortly after, all the Golden Core cultivators dispersed.
Meanwhile, the auction for the lower-order cultivators was still going on intensely, with various treasures continually appearing and the atmosphere extremely lively.
The auction continued until the evening and finally officially ended, with some cultivators beginning to slowly leave.
The Lin Family members returned to their cave dwelling and immediately went to report to Lin Shikang.
Learning that the clan members had spent a lot of spirit stones and acquired many rare treasures, Lin Shikang was also quite excited.
In his eyes, not only had the Golden Core clan members, including himself, gained much, but the lower clan members had also obtained significant resources over the past couple of years.
Moreover, this time the Lin Family had acquired a vast amount of treasures, six huge mountain ranges as territory, and a complete medium-sized workshop.
With such substantial gains, just a few years of management would allow the Lin Family’s foundation to rapidly improve, and their influence in Wei Kingdom could reach a new height.
In the next decade or more, it would be a time of rapid development for the Lin Family.
With enough resources in hand, the Lin Family was sure to undergo a major transformation, from top to bottom.
For this day, the Lin Family members had worked hard, and now they had finally received a rich reward.
Whenever he thought of this, he was brimming with excitement.
At the same time, remembering the words entrusted to him by his ancestors as they passed away, he felt even more fortunate and gratified.
He was fortunate that the Lin Family had produced a true Hidden Dragon.
He was gratified that this generation of Lin Family members had lived up to their responsibilities, now completely surpassing the family’s peak period.
After calming himself a bit, Lin Shikang’s eyes were moist with tears, deeply moved by the pressures they had faced over the years.
Now, as the Lin Family rose to become a significant force in Wei Kingdom,
And with Lin Tianming and his wife, as well as the Wind Spirit Root genius Lin Tianyun, the Lin Family’s potential was tremendous, with even grander goals ahead.
For this day, he would fully support them to go further, a responsibility laden with great duty.
Realizing this, Lin Shikang took a deep breath, then made many arrangements for the clan members.
After everything was properly arranged, Lin Tianming and his companions each returned to their rooms to rest.
The next morning,
Outside the Qingshui Market, Lin Tianming and other Lin Family members waited on the side.
As people from Zhou Yunxiao and several other powers arrived one after another, those heading to the Golden Sword Mountain Gate gathered.
After exchanging greetings, Lu Xingfeng took out a Flying Boat.
Soon, everyone boarded the Flying Boat, flying towards the location of the Golden Sword Mountain Gate.
After half a month of non-stop flying, the Flying Boat smoothly arrived at the location of the Golden Sword Mountain Gate.
On the deck of the Flying Boat,
Lin Tianming and his companions stood side by side, their eyes looking down at the square below, their expressions filled with excitement.
A year had passed since they last visited this place, and Lin Tianming was filled with many emotions.
The place had originally suffered a devastating battle and was riddled with scars.
However, after a year of restoration and recovery, the Golden Sword Mountain Gate had been completely revitalized, almost fully regaining its former majestic appearance.
However, there weren’t many people stationed here now, mostly disciples and clan members from various powers, obviously far fewer than when the Golden Sword Sect controlled it.
Moreover, in a short while, all the powers stationed here would completely withdraw, and the site would be fully handed over to Zhenyang Sect.
Lin Tianming and his companions had come here to retrieve the dividends belonging to the Lin Family.
Among these, the treasures of the Third and Fourth Rank were crucial, and the Defensive Great Formation of the Golden Sword Sect was also a treasure that the Lin Family had long desired.
With the establishment of this Third Order Defense Array, the Lin Family Clan Grounds’ security had substantially heightened. Should they encounter attacks from two or three Golden Core Stage Cultivators again, they could at least hold out for an extended period.
At the same time, this defensive array had also enhanced the gathering of spiritual energy on the Lin Family Clan Grounds.
Although the previous defensive array of the Lin Family was quite impressive and had a decent effect in gathering spiritual energy,
that formation was ultimately a Second Order Great Array, which evidently had a huge gap compared to the Third Order Great Array of the Golden Sword Sect.
Moreover, as the Lin Family began to have more High Order Cultivators and the size of the clan’s population grew, the Second Order Formation could not possibly sustain the vast consumption of the Clan Members.
Therefore, the original array of the Lin Family was no longer sufficient for their use.
However, acquiring this formation had cost the Lin Family a considerable price, but they had managed to acquire it successfully.
It could be said that with this Defensive Great Formation, the weaknesses of the Lin Family could be remedied once again.
At least until they faced a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, the Lin Family would not need to worry about the formation again.
It was with this purpose in mind that Lin Tianming and several others rushed over with the main force.
How could one not feel excited about the moment to reap the benefits from various families?
Meanwhile, Zhou Yunxiao and Lu Xingfeng did not delay, taking a few people off the Flying Boat.
Following that, under the guidance of several reception cultivators, Lin Tianming and the others went to the Treasure Vault of the Golden Sword Sect, and then each took away the treasures allocated to them according to the previously arranged details.
The Lin Family had obtained their share of treasures, all that was left was this Defensive Great Formation from the Golden Sword Sect.
However, dismantling the Defensive Great Formation would take some time, and the Zhenyang Sect also needed to temporarily establish a new formation to replace the dismantled Third Order Great Array.
With this, the cultivators from Myriad Medicine Valley and the Chen Clan saw no need to stay any longer and left Golden Sword Mountain Gate first.
After these people left, only the Zhenyang Sect and Lin Family Members remained to evacuate.
Although Lin Tianming and his companions were eager to return home, they did not mind waiting a few more days.
Thus, they planned to wait a few days, and once the Zhenyang Sect had arranged everything and they could acquire the long-awaited Third Order Great Array, they would then depart with the clan members stationed there, embarking on the journey back to the Clan Grounds.
This waiting spanned three days.
On this day, within a certain cave dwelling, Lin Tianming and two others gathered for a casual chat.
At that moment, the ground beneath their feet began to shake.
At the same time, while the spiritual energy in the sky had been calm and gentle, it suddenly surged violently.
However, this change lasted only a few breaths before quickly returning to tranquility.
Feeling this change, Lin Shikang’s expression changed slightly.
“Tianming, could it be that the previous Defensive Great Formation of the Golden Sword Sect has been dismantled by the Zhenyang Sect disciples?”
Hearing this, Lin Tianming nodded and said, “It should be so!”
“The vibration just now, and the changes in the spiritual energy, were obviously due to the disruptions caused by a clash of spiritual energies.”
“As it calms down, a new formation must have taken effect!”
“Hmm…”
Lin Shikang nodded his head, largely agreeing with Lin Tianming’s explanation.
Sure enough, merely a tea time later, Lu Xingfeng sent a message, summoning the three to gather at the cave dwelling.
Receiving this message, Lin Tianming and his companions were even more certain that the recent disturbances were caused by the dismantling of the formation.
Given this, Lu Xingfeng’s message to them was probably about handing over the defensive formation.
With this in mind, the three did not delay and hurriedly went together.
In Lu Xingfeng’s cave dwelling, they indeed saw all the core components of the Defensive Great Formation, including the Array Plate and Array Flags, all well-prepared.
With this set of formations, all the Lin Family needed was an Array Master to install it on the Lin Family Clan Grounds.
The requirements for activating and installing the formation were not high for an Array Master; even someone who wasn’t an Array Master could complete it.
Now that these items were right in front of them, Lin Tianming and the others were incredibly excited.
After transferring the formation from Lu Xingfeng, the Lin Family had basically obtained all their benefits.
Subsequently, after bidding farewell to Lu Xingfeng, the three immediately gathered the Lin Family troops, left the Golden Sword Mountain Gate, and flew toward the southern location of the Lin Family Clan Grounds.
