After a while, he arrived at Luoyun Pavilion.
At this time, in Luoyun Pavilion, there were more than ten Qi Refining monks selecting items for sale, and Li Rong was receiving customers. The scene was very lively.
Lin Tianming rarely had time to spare, and he basically didn't care much about the running of the store. Apart from refining elixirs for a fee, he didn't do much to help. The store was mainly run by Lin Xingli and his uncles, and with Lin Tianfeng's assistance, the store was well managed. , and the profits obtained are also considerable.
However, with his talent and cultivation, the family would not allow him to take care of these trivial matters. The patriarch has repeatedly told him to focus his time on cultivation. Only when his cultivation is high, he can provide greater help to the family.
Knowing this, he never relaxed and put all his thoughts on cultivation and alchemy.
As for family affairs, they are taken care of by the family elders, so he doesn't need to worry about them.
However, as a member of the Lin family, I cannot remain indifferent and make my clan members feel that I am too arrogant.
It's been a long time since I've been to the store. It seems like the business has been pretty good during this period. It's probably to supplement the treasures they got from Gu Tong. With more treasures, business will naturally improve.
The Li Rong brother and sister are humble and polite, have outstanding ability to observe people's emotions, and are very good at managing the store. They have been working as clerks in Luoyun Pavilion for several months and are already very familiar with the operation of the store. They are quite interested in the business of Luoyun Pavilion. Small effect.
Seeing Lin Tianming come in, Li Rong quickly put down what he was doing and came over to greet him.
Lin Tianming nodded, and after briefly asking about the situation of Luoyun Pavilion, he walked directly to the third floor.
Entering the secret room on the third floor, Lin Xingli and Lin Xingsu were sitting there. In front of them were thick books, apparently recording some accounts.
Seeing Lin Tianming come in, the two stood up to greet him. After greeting each other with fists in their hands, the three of them sat down to drink tea and chat.
Lin Xingli was already prepared for Lin Tianming's intention.
As early as a few days ago, Lin Shilu had specifically ordered him to prepare the spiritual stones earned by the shop in the past few months. Except for leaving 20,000 spiritual stones as a turnover, all the others were handed over to Lin Tianming to take back to the family.
After chatting for a while, Lin Xingli took out a storage bag and an account book and handed them to Lin Tianming.
After taking the account book, Lin Tianming glanced at the 150,000 spirit stones inside, showing a surprised look.
Luoyun Pavilion has been open for more than four months, and the results have far exceeded their expectations. On average, treasures worth tens of thousands are sold every month.
Over the past few months, Luoyun Pavilion has accumulated hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones. Almost all of the family's early store costs and various treasures worth more than 100,000 have been liquidated.
As a result, it took them only four months to sell out most of the treasures provided by the family, and the profit they earned was at least thirty to forty thousand, enough to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming thought to himself.
"No wonder so many foundation-building families are rushing to take root in medium and large-scale cities. This is indeed a good place to make a fortune!"
In fact, Luoyun Pavilion's business is booming, but that doesn't mean that all stores are booming. Some shops are losing money or even closing down.
It's just that Luoyun Pavilion was lucky enough to encounter the biennial small market gathering, coupled with Ye Pinghai's strong influence and the strategy of entrusting alchemy, the store's business was extremely booming.
Returning to his mind, Lin Tianming cupped his fists towards Lin Xingli and said:
"Uncle Clan, I will leave tomorrow. Grandpa Fifteen is still injured, so Fangshi will have to work hard for you!"
Lin Xingli and Lin Xingsu smiled at each other, waved their hands and said:
"Tian Ming's words are serious. We are all members of the Lin family. Those of you who are in the foundation period have made greater contributions to the family. We are just doing our part!"
After finishing speaking, Lin Tianming clasped his fists at the two of them, stood up and left the secret room.
After leaving Luoyun Pavilion, he returned directly to the small courtyard of Dongfu without stopping.
Entering the practice room, he sat on the floor, then took out several storage bags and placed them in front of him.
One of them was the storage bag given to him by Lin Xingli, which contained the spiritual stones earned by Luoyun Pavilion in several months, totaling 150,000.
The other storage bags contained six Qingxu snake eggs and a large number of Qingxu snakes. In addition, there were three Suixing fruit trees and some treasures obtained from Gu Tong.
Seeing that the extremely valuable treasure would be brought back to the family alone by him, Lin Tianming looked extremely solemn after traveling for more than ten days.
This trip is a heavy responsibility and there is no guarantee that anything unexpected will happen.
Fortunately, he was prepared and bought two second-level high-grade talismans from Tianlong Pavilion. With this talisman to protect himself, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hope everything goes well!"
After muttering something under his breath, Lin Tianming put away all the storage bags and started practicing.
In the early morning of the next day, Lin Tianming greeted Lin Shilu, changed his appearance, and left the cave courtyard directly.
After leaving Fangshi, Lin Tianming flew south for a distance and then released the purple golden eagle.
Sitting on the back of the purple golden eagle, after looking at the map, Lin Tianming's consciousness was widened and he was always paying attention to every move around him.
A man and a beast turned into a black shadow, passing through the sky thousands of feet high, and flew all the way to the south.
Time flies and half a month passes.
In the evening of this day, a piercing cry came, and the purple golden eagle appeared above the Golden Horn Mountain.
Lin Tianming, who was sitting on the back of the purple golden eagle, looked quite tired. Looking at the familiar mountain gate, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
For half a month, he was traveling alone, and his consciousness was greatly consumed. Without Lin Shilu to take turns to guard him, he did not dare to let the purple golden eagle fly at full speed without any scruples. If he encountered any unexpected situation, he would be in trouble.
Fortunately, the journey was relatively smooth. Although it was slower than when we started, we arrived at Golden Horn Mountain smoothly.
When we arrived around Jinjiao Mountain, which was the boundary of Luoyun Mountain Range, most of the area was controlled by the Lin family, so it was considered safe.
The purple golden eagle landed at the gate of Jinjiao Mountain, and Lin Tianming jumped off the purple golden eagle's back.
Lin Xingyou, who was in charge of patrolling Jinjiao Mountain, was quite surprised to see him. After all, it had only been four months since they left Jinjiao Mountain and it was really against common sense for them to turn back again.
However, everything seemed normal to Lin Tianming. It didn't seem like something big had happened, and Lin Xingyou didn't say much.
After the two chatted for a while, Lin Tianming directly asked about his father's news.
Lin Xingyou laughed and then said:
"Tianming, your father has been in retreat. You have been quite tired from the journey. You might as well rest for a night first. I will send him a message. If there is nothing important, let's talk about it tomorrow!"
Lin Tianming nodded. Since he had arrived at Jinjiao Mountain, he was not far away from his clan and out of the danger zone. There was no need to rush. He happened to be tired too, so it didn't matter if he rested for the night.
"Then as my uncle said, let's rest today!" Lin Tianming replied.
Then Lin Xingyou took Lin Tianming to the depths of Jinjiao Mountain, and soon came to the cave where Lin Xingrong retreated.
Lin Xingyou fired a spell, opening Lin Xingrong's cave, and then said to Lin Tianming:
"Tianming, you can go in by yourself. I still have a mission, so I will stay here soon!"
"Uncle, please be busy first. We'll get together someday when we have the chance!" Lin Tianming bowed his hands and greeted them politely.
After watching Lin Xingyou leave, Lin Tianming walked into his father's cave.
After entering the room, he fell asleep directly, letting go of his tense nerves, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning...
Lin Tianming opened his eyes. After a night of deep sleep, the fatigue he felt for half a month suddenly disappeared without a trace.
He stretched out comfortably, then got up and left the room, coming to the small courtyard.
His father had already left seclusion and was sitting in the small courtyard drinking spiritual tea, seemingly waiting for him.
Lin Tianming immediately stepped forward and bowed: "My child has seen his father!"
Lin Xingrong smiled, waved his hand and said: "Sit down, has the journey been smooth?"
Lin Tianming sat opposite Lin Xingrong, then poured a cup of spiritual tea for his father and said:
"Returning to my father, the journey has been quite smooth!"
"Hmm... The family plan is to return to the clan area once a year. It's only been less than half a year. What happened?" Lin Xingrong asked with some confusion.
Lin Tianming had expected it and had nothing to hide. Besides, it was his father who was also a high-ranking member of the Lin family, so he had the right to know the top secrets.
Lin Tianming picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the spiritual tea, and then recounted every detail of the past few months.
Hearing that Luoyun Pavilion's business was booming, Lin Xingrong was very excited. When he learned that Lin Shilu almost died in the swamp, his expression changed drastically and he asked anxiously:
"How is your fifteenth grandpa doing on Senior's Day?"
"Father, Grandpa Fifteen has recovered more than half of his body, but he won't be able to recover in a short time. If he wants to fully recover, it will take at least several months of concentrated cultivation!"
Lin Tianming explained quickly, and Lin Xingrong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After talking for half an hour, Lin Xingrong finally knew what happened and the reason for rushing back.
During the trip to Qianchuanfang City, Lin Tianming made another great contribution. Together with Lin Shilu, he brought back a large amount of treasures to the family and made Luoyun Pavilion's business so popular.
The son strives to win glory for the family, and as a father, his face also has glory.
Lin Xingrong was very excited when he thought of this.
"It's very important. I'll go back to Qingzhu Mountain with you tomorrow. It just so happens that I haven't gone back for a long time!" Lin Xingrong said.
"Okay, we'll set off tomorrow morning!"
After Lin Tianming finished speaking, he took out the nine silver needles he had prepared, handed them to Lin Xingrong and said.
"Father, this complete set of silver needle instruments was assigned to me. You will be guarding it outside. With this treasure, you will be safer."
Seeing Lin Tianming giving him the magic weapon, Lin Xingrong was moved but also a little embarrassed.
As a father, he has not been able to help Lin Tianming in recent years, but now he often wants to take advantage of him.
Although he coveted the magic weapon, he waved his hand and refused:
"My father has a magic weapon. I got it from the Jin family and the family assigned it to me. Although it is a second-level low-grade weapon, it is enough for now. You can keep this complete set of magic weapon for yourself!"
Seeing that Lin Xingrong refused to accept it, Lin Tianming knew that his father would be embarrassed, but for his safety, he still had to persuade him.
After a moment of silence, Lin Tianming suddenly thought of something and said with a bright smile on his face.
"Father, the child has received two magical weapons. The other Thousand Beasts Flag is more powerful than this Silver Needle magical weapon. In addition, Grandpa Fifteen made a second-level mid-grade Tiangang Sword for me. This magical weapon The device is really useless!"
"If you don't want it, I will give it to grandpa!"
After hearing this, Lin Xingrong's face turned rosy immediately, he grabbed the nine silver needles, and then said in an old-fashioned way:
"Forget it, he has lived in the clan for a long time and doesn't need such a good magic weapon!"
When Lin Tianming saw that this trick really worked, his face lit up with joy.
He found his father very interesting. Although he cared about him very much, he was always very cold and stern. However, he could chew on his grandfather, never too much, and never felt embarrassed.
Seeing Lin Tianming's evil smile, Lin Xingrong shouted angrily: "You brat, what are you laughing at?"
"Uh...nothing...nothing..." Lin Tianming quickly changed his expression and regained his composure.
"snort……"
Lin Xingrong held the nine-foot-long silver needle and looked at it with admiration.
Lin Tianming on the side saw that his father liked this magical weapon, and he was in a good mood, and then suggested:
"Father, this set of silver needle instruments doesn't have a name yet. Please give it a name!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xingrong fell into thinking. After several breaths passed, he seemed to have an idea.
"This magic weapon is a sneak attack weapon. It is extremely weird. It disappears without a trace when activated. How about calling it the Shadowless Needle?"
Recalling that when Gu Tong attacked them sneakily, he didn't react at all. If Lin Shilu hadn't discovered the abnormality one step ahead with his powerful spiritual consciousness and pushed him away with a palm at the critical moment, otherwise he would have definitely died.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming nodded and said: "The Shadowless Needle...is indeed invisible!"
"Haha... Then it's settled!"
"It's called Shadowless Needle!" Lin Xingrong said excitedly.
After deciding on the name of the magical artifact, Lin Tianming and his son looked at each other and smiled, then drank tea and chatted.
The father and son chatted happily and got closer to each other. They rarely sat alone together like this. With more and more opportunities to get together, the relationship between them seemed to become closer and closer.
Nowadays, they can still joke, which was impossible in the past.
After chatting for half an hour, Lin Xingrong stood up and prepared to leave.
After all, he wanted to return to Qingzhu Mountain with Lin Tianming, and the affairs here had to be arranged properly.
"Father, this Star Fruit is very effective. Try it!"
Lin Tianming called to Jin Xingrong, and with a wave of his hand, two Star Fruits fell on his hand.
Lin Xingrong didn't show any pretense. He put the Star Fruit into his storage bag, gave him a smile and turned around to leave.
Lin Tianming chuckled and watched his father walk out of the cave before returning to the practice room.
The next morning...
When the sun first shines, the morning glow breaks through the clouds, the warm sunshine shines on the earth, and the golden flower trees sway their branches and leaves in the breeze.
In the quiet and peaceful Jiaojiao Mountain, Lin Tianming and his son walked out of the mountain gate and left the place quietly.
Sitting on the back of the purple golden eagle, the purple golden eagle flew into the clouds, turning the two of them into an afterimage and flying towards the south where Qingzhu Mountain was located.
