Time flies, and one year has passed in the blink of an eye.
In the early morning of this day, a purple-gold figure appeared on a hilltop outside the Qingzhushan tribe.
Next to the purple gold withered body was a man in black.
After a closer look, you will find that the man in black is Hu Yuan, a casual cultivator whom he has not seen for a long time.
More than a year has passed since Qianchuanboshi and Lin Tianming separated, and it is already very close to the two years agreed upon by the two of them.
At this time, Hu Yuan, who rushed over in a hurry, looked at the formation light screen in front of him and smiled happily.
Although it was his first time to come to the Lin family, and he had never entered the clan's interior, he clearly felt that the spiritual energy around the entire Qingzhu Mountain was relatively strong.
In addition, as he went deeper, he could feel the spiritual energy becoming more intense.
Judging from the current law of spiritual energy improvement, if this continues, the spiritual energy in the depths of the Lin family's land will inevitably become more intense.
Hu Yuan has been wandering in the immortal world of Wei for nearly a hundred years, and has visited many clan areas where the foundation-building family power is established, and even the mountain gate of the Jindan power several times.
The spiritual energy of the Lin family is quite strong, and it can indeed be regarded as a rare paradise.
Even compared to some Shanmen of Jindan forces, the feeling is not much different.
"It's no wonder that Fellow Daoist Lin swears so confidently when he talks about the Lin family land!"
Hu Yuan felt the aura around him and thought to himself.
Just when he was distracted, such a big target as Zijinzuo quickly attracted the attention of the Lin family members who were responsible for patrolling the mountain gate.
After a few breaths.
Several Qi Refining monks walked straight through the light curtain of the clan protection formation and came to Hu Yuan.
The leader of the Lin family is Lin Tiansong. He looked at Zijinfu in front of him and lost consciousness for a while. He did not expect that in addition to the Lin family members, there were also monks who had Zijinfu as a spiritual beast.
It’s still an early second-level Zijin wither!
Little did he know that the Purple Gold Foil in front of him was from the same group as the Purple Gold Foil that Lin Tianming brought back.
What is even less known is that Hu Yuan's purple gold sculpture was also made by Lin Tianming and has a close relationship with the Lin family.
The Zijinqiao tribe that Lin Tianming brought back had been surrendered by many members of the Lin family in more than a year.
Whether it was the existence of the early second level or the first level Zijin wither, they were all snatched up by the Lin family members.
Most of them were successfully recognized and became members of the Lin family.
There are only a few Zijin withers in the early stage of the second level who would rather die than obey, and they seem to look down upon the strength of those Lin family members.
In the end, he had no choice but to follow Lin Tianming's idea and release them directly to give them freedom.
Most of the other Zijin withers have become the spiritual beasts of the people in the Foundation Establishment period and have a better prospect.
Even the first-level Zijin Withering was defeated by those Qi Refining tribesmen with good talents and not low cultivation.
There are also some late-stage first-order Zijin withers that have become the spiritual beasts of the Foundation Establishment tribe.
After all, the number of second-level Zijin withers is limited, and a small number of them have been released. It is impossible for more than 20 members of the Lin family in the foundation-building stage to have one second-level early-stage Zijin wither in their hands.
Therefore, there are always some people in the foundation-building stage who can only choose to conquer those first-level Zijin withers.
But even so, these Zijin withers are still one of the extremely rare spiritual beasts.
If cultivated properly, it can help it reach a higher level and play a greater role.
Lin Tiansong's talent potential is not bad, and his cultivation at the ninth level of Qi refining is also valued by the family, so he gets a chance to recognize Zijin Feng as his master.
He had good luck and successfully subdued a mid-level first-level Zijin wither spirit beast.
For this reason, he was excited for a long time.
Today, Lin Tiansong was a little surprised when he saw a strange monk visiting him again, who also had an early second-level Zijin wither as a spiritual beast. He was also guessing in his heart about the identity of the man in black in front of him.
However, his identity and strength were limited, and he had no chance to learn about the relationship between Hu Yuan and the Lin family.
But even so, the man in black in front of him looked happy and unprepared, and he also had Zijinliu as a spiritual beast.
From various signs and expressions, this person must have some relationship with the Lin family.
He was able to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi refining in more than thirty years, so he was certainly not a fool, and he could definitely see that Hu Yuan was not an enemy.
Therefore, he immediately came up to Hu Yuan, cupped his hands and fists, and greeted him respectfully.
"This senior, Lin Tiansong, a junior member of the Lin family, I wonder if this senior is here today to find a member of the same clan?"
After hearing this, Hu Yuan also came back from his thoughts.
Immediately afterwards, he waved his hand towards Lin Tiansong and smiled, without any hint of the Dzogchen Foundation-Building cultivator.
"Little friend Lin, is the noble Lin Tianming in the clan?"
"Oh?...Senior is looking for my cousin?"
Lin Tiansong was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Hu Yuan in front of him looked nearly a hundred years old. Instead of looking for a member of the Lin family, he was looking for his cousin Lin Tianming.
However, he did not ask any more questions, but directly sent a message to the clan leader Lin Shihua to explain Hu Yuan's intention.
Soon, Lin Tiansong, who received the reply, confirmed Hu Yuan's identity. As he had guessed, the man in black in front of him did have a certain relationship with the Lin family.
"Senior, please come with me!"
"You guys continue to patrol the clan territory!"
Lin Tiansong bowed his hands towards Hu Yuan as a courtesy, and then ordered several members of the Lin family behind him to continue their inspection mission.
"Well……"
Hu Yuan nodded and followed Lin Tiansong into the Lin family land.
The two of them quickly disappeared within the formation's light curtain, and then shuttled through the Lin family's territory.
It was early in the morning, and it was also the most active time for the Lin family members. A large number of clan members flew with swords and shuttled around the main peak.
Looking around, most of them are Qi Refining clan members, with one or two Foundation Establishment clan members occasionally appearing.
Although the strength of these people is not worth mentioning to Hu Yuan, among these people, the proportion of clan members in the late stage of Qi refining is not low, and they are all the backbone of the Lin family.
Such a quantity and proportion are already quite outstanding for a foundation-building family.
In addition, every clan member has an excellent spiritual outlook, and the spiritual weapons they use are of very good quality.
It can be seen that the conditions of the Lin family are good, and their strength is definitely top-notch among monks of the same level.
At this time, Hu Yuan followed Lin Tiansong leisurely and flew towards the top of the main peak.
As he flew, he looked at the situation in the Lin family's territory. When he saw the prosperous and busy clan members, Hu Yuan felt satisfied in his heart.
What is satisfying is not only the level of aura within the Lin family, but also the need for foundation-building monks to reach the golden elixir stage.
In addition to this, he was also surprised by the atmosphere within the Lin family, the characteristics within the Lin family, and even the cultivation strength of the Lin family members.
Seeing this scene inside the Lin family, Hu Yuan secretly admired it in his heart.
"The Lin family is worthy of being a family that has produced Jindan monks. The mental outlook and even strength level of these clan members are quite good."
"Sure enough, they have the grace of the Jindan family!"
A cup of tea passed in a matter of seconds.
In front of the family reception hall, Lin Shihua, who received the news, waited here in advance for Hu Yuan's arrival.
From a distance, seeing the figures of Hu and Yuan getting bigger and bigger, Lin Shihua hurriedly walked up to them, cupped his hands and said hello with a smile.
“It’s rare for Fellow Daoist Hu to visit us, so I’m sorry to hear you come from afar!”
Although the two had never met, Lin Shihua still showed great enthusiasm, like an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
The same is true for Hu Yuan. Although the two of them have never interacted with each other, he has deliberately collected basic information about the Lin family, so he naturally understands Lin Shihua's identity.
Faced with Lin Shihua's politeness, he returned the favor with a smile and acted very politely.
After the two exchanged a few polite words, Lin Shihua invited Hu Yuan into the guest reception hall, and then ordered the tribesmen to serve Hu Yuan spiritual tea.
The two chatted for a while, and then Lin Tianming rushed over.
At this time, Lin Tianming hurriedly came out of seclusion and spent a year and a half in seclusion. He actually broke through to the eighth level of foundation building and was not far from the ninth level of foundation building.
You must know that before retreating, he was still at the seventh level of foundation building, and was still some distance away from the eighth level of foundation building.
But it has only been a year and a half, and we have already reached the top of the eighth floor.
Such speed is simply incredible.
And all of this can be attributed to the gains in the Tianfeng Secret Realm. After all, I have practiced in the Tianfeng Secret Realm for a whole year, experienced many life and death battles, and also obtained a large number of spiritual fruits that can improve my cultivation.
After a year and a half of retreat and hard training, he took several second-level high-grade spiritual fruits.
With this large amount of resources, it was possible to successfully reach the peak of the eighth level of foundation building.
Lin Tianming is also quite satisfied with this. This speed of progress can be regarded as meeting his expectations.
At this time, when the two of them saw Lin Tianming coming, Hu Yuan was also a little excited.
Lin Shihua was even more so, and he quickly waved to Lin Tianming to come and sit down.
Lin Tianming was also very casual. After greeting Hu Yuan, he sat next to Lin Shihua.
He took a sip of the spiritual tea, then turned to Hu Yuan and said, "Fellow Daoist Hu, I haven't seen you in the past two years. How are you preparing?"
"Haha... In the past two years, I have traveled all over the southern part of the Wei Kingdom, including the Huangyang Kingdom next door. I also participated in many auctions and exchanges."
"Speaking of which, I have traveled a lot in the past two years and spent a lot of spiritual stones and treasures. I finally found a few good defensive magic weapons. It can be considered a small gain!"
Hu Yuan smiled as he spoke, with a thick smile on his face. It seemed that he had indeed gained something.
It's not surprising when you think about it. After all, he also obtained a lot of treasures in the Tianfeng Secret Realm, including many second- and third-level elixirs and mines.
In addition, he has been practicing for nearly a hundred years and has accumulated some wealth. As long as he is willing to pay the price and energy, it is not impossible to find some second-level high-grade defensive magic weapons.
Anyway, if you can't enter the golden elixir stage, it's useless to keep your wealth.
To put it this way, I spent all my wealth just to get the items needed to reach the golden elixir stage.
I believe every casual cultivator would behave like this.
Knowing this, Lin Tianming didn't ask any more questions. In short, if Hu Yuan could enter the golden elixir stage, the rewards for the Lin family would be even greater.
"Haha... It seems that Fellow Daoist Hu is also ready!"
Lin Tianming nodded and smiled.
"Well... as my cultivation has reached the foundation-building perfection, I have almost prepared everything, and then I came to the noble treasure land to keep my appointment."
"Next, I'm going to trouble all the fellow nobles!"
After hearing this, Lin Tianming waved his hands and smiled.
"Wherever... The Lin family is doing their best, they just hope that Fellow Daoist Hu can break through and enter the golden elixir avenue!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Yuan looked solemn, and then smiled bitterly.
"Haha... The Golden Elixir Path is not that easy, but I still want to lend some good words from my two Taoist friends!"
After saying this, Hu Yuan changed the topic and asked tentatively: "Fellow Daoist Lin, the breakthrough experience you mentioned can be found in the clan. When do you plan to hand it over to me next time?"
"Haha, fellow Daoist Hu, please be patient. Since I have promised this, I will definitely give it to you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Yuan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said: "Don't worry, fellow Taoists, if I succeed by luck, I will definitely do what I promised!"
Hu Yuan's words were extremely sincere, and it seemed that he was planning to break the boat and launch an attack on the Jindan period.
In addition, what he said was also a bit helpless. He thought that Lin Tianming was taking the opportunity to find reasons to delay the time, so he hurriedly mentioned the promise so that the Lin family could trust him to give him the breakthrough experience.
Lin Tianming also saw Hu Yuan's inner uneasiness, and immediately opened his mouth to explain.
"Fellow Daoist Hu is overthinking it. It's not that I'm delaying it intentionally, but that this thing is currently being watched by the elders and they can't free it for the time being."
"However, if Fellow Daoist Hu is released, the breakthrough experience will probably be released in a year and a half. I will definitely hand it over to Fellow Daoist Hu at that time."
Lin Tianming explained so directly without any intention of beating around the bush, which made Hu Yuanchang breathe a sigh of relief.
"Oh well!"
"Since the timing is not coincidental, I have no choice but to wait for a while. I can use this time to consolidate my cultivation and make more preparations."
Hu Yuan said helplessly, but his expression was obviously much better than before.
Seeing this situation, Lin Tianming nodded and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Hu will stay at the Lin family for a while. When he has gained some breakthrough experience, I will personally send him to him!"
"Well...thank you, fellow Taoists!"
Hu Yuan stood up and bowed his hands towards Lin Tianming and the two of them, acting quite politely.
There is no way, people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
What's more, the Lin family is powerful, and he has already asked for help from the Lin family, so it's not a big deal to lower his attitude.
As a result, Hu Yuan had no choice but to obey the Lin family's arrangements.
Immediately afterwards, after a few words of discussion, Lin Tianming and Lin Shihua sent Hu Yuan to a small cave courtyard not far next door, and arranged a temporary cave retreat for him to practice.
After doing this, the two of them dispersed and went about their own business.
Lin Tianming, who returned to the cave, did not take any time off. He entered the practice room again and entered a state of retreat.
