Half an hour later.
In Lin Tianming's cave, Qin Xi left the customs in advance and waited in the small courtyard.
Qin Xi was very happy to see Lin Tianming back and immediately went to greet him.
"Brother Ming, have you broken through the seventh level of foundation building?"
Upon hearing the inquiry, Lin Tianming smiled indifferently, took Qin Xi's hand, and then nodded and said: "It is completely expected to break through the seventh level of foundation building!"
"On the other hand, Xi'er, I haven't seen you for more than a year. Didn't you also break through the fourth level of foundation building?"
Lin Tianming touched Qin Xi's hair and replied with approval.
At this time, Qin Xi's face was slightly red, she buried her beautiful cheek on Lin Tianming's chest, and then responded modestly.
"Giggle..."
"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to Brother Ming and the spiritual fruits and elixirs given by the family elders."
"For more than a year, Xi'er has been staying at home. With the help of the solid foundation laid by the battle in Yuyao City, she can achieve a breakthrough in a natural way."
Lin Tianming still agreed with Qin Xi's words.
If you only rely on retreat, even if you have many treasures to improve your cultivation, you may not be able to achieve success.
The experience of life and death is very important. Only after experiencing fighting and being polished, can those frivolous cultivation skills disappear and achieve a breakthrough.
Otherwise, there will be many bottlenecks along the way of cultivation, or even the path will be completely ruined.
And he has been practicing all these years, and it is precisely because of this that he can practice so quickly.
As for Qin Xi, the same is true.
Before they met again, Qin Xi was fighting monsters alone, and had to guard against the pursuit of the Chen family, always hovering on the edge of life and death.
It was precisely because of such pressure that she was able to hone her indestructible Taoist heart.
It was precisely because of such conditions that she had to practice hard and finally broke through the realm continuously.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
He hugged Qin Xi tightly in his arms and enjoyed this short and beautiful time.
After half a quarter of an hour, the couple let go of each other.
At this time, Qin Xi looked melancholy, looking at Lin Tianming's face, feeling a little reluctant when he thought that Lin Tianming was about to leave the family.
When Lin Tianming saw her look, he obviously noticed his sadness, and immediately started to comfort her.
"Xi'er, I won't be away for a long time. I will definitely return to the family in more than a year at most. It will be almost the same as this retreat. There is really no need to worry."
"Having said that, Brother Ming is going to the Tianfeng Secret Realm this time. Ninety percent of the monks there are from the three major sects, and their strength is not ordinary."
"In addition to them, those casual cultivators who can enter the secret realm are also powerful people."
"Under such circumstances, it is extremely dangerous for you to go to such a dangerous secret place alone."
Hearing this, Lin Tianming chuckled and replied sharply: "You said it yourself, those casual cultivators are also powerful people."
"And your husband and I, with our strength at the sixth level of foundation building, are ranked first among the casual cultivators in the Demon Control City. What does this mean?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Xi's face finally looked better.
Lin Tianming's strength was obvious to all, and even the monk from the Blood Red Alliance who established the Great Perfection was no match for him.
It can be seen that Lin Tianming's strength is also among the foundation-building monks, and he is definitely second to none.
At this time, Lin Tianming changed the topic and continued to speak.
"Xi'er doesn't have to worry so much. My husband has also broken through the seventh level of foundation building. This is a huge improvement in level."
"In addition, Grandpa Fifteen has improved the quality of the magic weapon for me, and its power has become even more powerful!"
Hearing this, Qin Xi asked: "Brother Ming has been practicing magical powers in the back mountain recently, and he must have also tried the power of magical weapons."
"How? How powerful is it?"
Lin Tianming said: "The improvement is extremely obvious. I estimate that with the current magical power, it may not be difficult to kill a Foundation-Building Dzogchen cultivator!"
"oh?"
Qin Xi couldn't believe it, and then asked: "Has your strength improved to this extent?"
Lin Tianming chuckled, nodded confidently and replied: "Since my husband said so, I still have this confidence, so Xi'er can rest assured."
Hearing this, Qin Xi nodded thoughtfully.
Based on his understanding of Lin Tianming, since he is so confident, he must be certain.
Thinking of this, her face gradually returned to normal.
Afterwards, the two chatted for a while and determined the departure time and Qin Xi's arrangements.
Immediately afterwards, the two walked out of the cave together and walked towards the cave where their mother lived.
After a cup of tea.
In the small courtyard of Ren Yuxuan's cave, Lin Tianming and his wife were sitting in it.
After receiving his message, Lin Shigong also rushed over.
Except for Lin Xingrong, who guards Jinjiao Mountain, and Lin Tianyue, who left the family and went to Qianchuanfang City for training, they are the only members of this small family who are still in the clan.
At this time, seeing Lin Tianming, Lin Shigong and Ren Yuxuan naturally understood that they were preparing to say goodbye.
As usual, the two elders gave some advice and stopped nagging.
They knew very well that with Lin Tianming's strength and character, since he had obtained the quota to enter the Tianfeng Secret Realm, he would not give up easily.
In this way, Lin Tianming was at peace, and his family of four had dinner together.
After dinner, Lin Tianming informed several people that he decided to set off in two days and go directly to Zhenyang Sect to gather.
No one objected to this, and after a few words of instruction, Lin Tianming and his wife left together with Lin Shigong.
Qin Xi returned directly to the cave, while Lin Tianming and his grandson went to Lin Shihua's cave to get together.
After a while, the grandfather and grandson and Lin Shihua were sitting in the small courtyard, drinking tea and chatting.
At this time, Lin Shihua asked: "Tianming, how are you going to arrange this trip? Do you plan to pass through Qianchuanfang City?"
After hearing the inquiry, Lin Tianming started thinking.
The purpose of his trip was to the Zhenyang Sect's mountain gate in the Longshan Mountains.
In the realm of immortality cultivation in the Wei Kingdom, the Longshan Mountains cover a large area and can basically be ranked in the top three of all mountains in the Wei Kingdom. They are also the core territory of the Zhenyang Sect.
Among them, Longshan Fang City is also one of the famous Fang City in Wei State.
Although Qianchuanfang City in the south is also one of the medium-sized cities, if compared with Longshanfang City, it is not even a little bit worse.
The destination of his trip is far away, even further than the Songling Mountains where Yuyao City is located.
However, Yuyao City and the Longshan Mountains are in the same direction, and with the middle stage of Zijin Withering's second-level advancement, the flight speed will definitely increase a lot.
In this way, if everything goes well, we should be able to arrive in a month.
There are still nearly fifty days until the day of assembly, which is still plenty of time.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming immediately asked: "Grandpa Twelve, my grandnephew has plenty of time. If you have any instructions, Tianming can delay for a few days."
Hearing this, Lin Shihua waved his hands, then smiled and said: "That's not true!"
"It's just that few of the tribesmen who are based in Qianchuanfang City have returned this year. If you have time, you might as well bring a batch of supplies to Qianchuanfang City."
"So that's it!"
Lin Tianming nodded and then said: "We are heading north to the Longshan Mountains. Although we do not pass through Qianchuanfang City, the detour will not delay us for long. I will leave this matter to Tianming!"
"Okay, in that case, I will immediately ask Xingcheng to prepare the supplies and hand them over to you before setting off the day after tomorrow!"
After Lin Shihua replied, he then sent out several summonses, apparently instructing the tribesmen to prepare supplies.
After doing this, Lin Shihua was in a good mood, and then the parents chatted briefly.
After a while, Lin Tianming changed the topic and asked about the situation of Lin Shikang and Lin Shilu.
Upon hearing the inquiry, Lin Shihua said: "Your fifteenth grandfather has worked extremely hard in the past two years. I haven't seen him in nearly two years!"
"oh?"
Lin Tianming had a look of surprise on his face, and then asked: "Even if Grandpa Fifteen is immersed in refining weapons, it's not like he hasn't been out of seclusion for two years, right?"
"Haha..." Lin Shihua smiled bitterly.
Then, he slowly said: "In order to let the third brother retreat as soon as possible, in order not to delay your trip to the secret realm, Shilu has indeed not stepped out of the cave in the past two years."
"Even after refining the magic weapon for Third Brother, I let Third Brother get it by himself, and then he went into seclusion again."
Hearing this, Lin Tianming could think of how Lin Shilu came here in the past two years.
Obviously, the Lin family is currently in a potential crisis. In order for Lin Shikang to reach the golden elixir stage, he must seize the time.
And his own trip to the secret realm is equally important.
On one side is the future of the Lin family, and on the other side is the step that must be taken to deal with the crisis. Although Lin Shilu is mentally and physically exhausted, he has to bite the bullet and refine magical weapons for them.
Thinking of Lin Shilu's haggard appearance when he first saw him, Lin Tianming felt a little distressed, and a surge of blood ignited in his heart.
After finally calming down, Lin Tianming then asked: "How is the magic weapon used by Third Grandpa to overcome the tribulation, part-time?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Shihua replied: "It's almost done!"
"After Shilu finished refining the magic weapon for you, he has refined two second-level and high-grade defensive magic weapons this year. In the next year, he will continue to refine the magic weapon in seclusion, and at least two to three more second-level magic weapons will be made. Only with high-grade defensive weapons can you have some confidence in surviving the thunder tribulation."
Hearing this, Lin Tianming nodded, not surprised.
I remember that when Ye Pinghai survived the thunder tribulation, he spent seven or eight pieces of second-level defensive magic weapons alone.
In addition, the second-level defense talisman also consumes a lot of money.
It was with the help of so many treasures that he was able to successfully survive the thunderstorm.
The same is true for Lin Shikang, who must prepare at least a few second-level mid-to-high-grade defensive magic weapons.
After all, the greater the number of defensive magic weapons and the higher the grade, the greater the certainty of surviving the thunder catastrophe.
After regaining his consciousness, Lin Tianming asked Lin Shigong again about entrusting Ye Pinghai to refine the elixir.
After Lin Shigong's explanation, Ye Pinghai had been in seclusion for the past two years, using the elixir materials on his body and the spiritual objects provided by his family to refine a lot of elixirs for Lin Shikang.
In the past two years, Lin Shikang had been preparing for the golden elixir stage while refining the defensive magic weapon refined by Lin Shilu.
Therefore, he left the family and entered the secret realm, and did not have time to come and get together.
Lin Tianming was not surprised by this.
At present, each of the several strong men in the family has a very heavy task and time is very tight.
In this case, it is reasonable to not see Lin Shikang.
After coming back to his senses, Lin Tianming no longer dwelled on the matter. After a few words with the two elders, he said goodbye and left.
After returning to the cave, Qin Xi has been waiting.
The two sat in the small courtyard, leaning against each other, admiring the moonlight and chatting.
"Xi'er, my husband will leave early the day after tomorrow, and it will take about a year."
"During this period, you can stay in the family and practice with peace of mind. I have already told my mother and grandfather that if there is nothing important, they will not disturb you."
Hearing this, Qin Xi nodded and leaned into his arms.
"Brother Ming, let's stop chatting Xi'er. Remember to be careful. I'll be waiting for your return at home."
Hearing these affectionate words and looking at Qin Xi's expectant eyes, Lin Tianming's eyes were firm, and while patting Qin Xi's back, he replied: "Don't worry, Xi'er, just wait for me at home!"
The next day.
Lin Tianming did not continue to practice, but took advantage of this free day to travel around the mountains and rivers with Qin Xi, which was a show of tenderness.
Early morning on the third day.
At dawn, Lin Tianming said goodbye to Qin Xi and appeared in the square at the family mountain gate.
After waiting for a while, Lin Shihua rushed over and landed next to him.
After the two greeted each other, Lin Shihua took out three storage bags and handed them to Lin Tianming.
Immediately afterwards, he gave instructions: "The treasures in these three storage bags are Luoyun Pavilion's supplies for the next year."
"There are a lot of them. Take them to Qianchuanfang City and give them to Tianfeng and the others."
Lin Tianming took the storage bag, then nodded and replied: "Don't worry, Grandpa Twelve, Tianming will remember it!"
"Well……"
Lin Shihua smiled with satisfaction, then waved his robe, and a jade bottle appeared in his hand.
"There are three Yuan Yang Pills in this jade bottle. The third brother entrusted you, Grandpa Hai, to help refine them earlier."
"Your trip to the secret realm is also accompanied by dangers. With this Yuan Yang Dan, it will be of some help."
"Just accept it!"
After saying this, Lin Shihua handed the jade bottle to Lin Tianming.
Seeing this situation, Lin Tianming was moved, thinking that although Lin Shikang had not seen him, he was always thinking about him in his heart.
Knowing that he was about to travel far away, he specifically asked Lin Shihua to send him Yuan Yang Dan and put a lot of effort into his trip to the secret realm.
You must know that the healing effect of this Yuan Yang Pill is extremely good. He himself is in the golden elixir stage and needs this kind of pill.
But even so, Lin Shikang gave the elixir to himself first.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming was deeply moved, and he was also in awe of several elders.
After a long time, Lin Tianming took the jade bottle after Lin Shihua's reminder.
Immediately afterwards, after Lin Shihua gave a few words of advice, Lin Tianming also said goodbye.
Then, under Lin Shihua's gaze, he walked out of the clan-protecting formation.
Outside the formation, he released Zijin Wither, and then jumped on Zijin Wither's back.
Looking at the familiar mountain gate, Zijin Fuxin understood and took him to fly into the clouds, flying all the way north.
In the blink of an eye, one person and one bird disappeared into the sky.
