Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate-Chapter 388 - 231 Turmoil_2

Chapter 388: Chapter 231 Turmoil_2

“Could it be the Minor Foundation Establishment Pill that aids Foundation Establishment?”

“Exactly, this elixir, when auctioned in medium to large markets, commands a price of at least ten thousand Spirit Stones, and some are even priceless…”

Lin Tianming’s words caused quite a stir among the crowd, with some cultivators of higher cultivation and broader horizons discussing animatedly.

This lively scene attracted even more cultivators to gather, and upon hearing the topic of discussion among the cultivators, many were thrilled, including some loose cultivators at the Eighth or Ninth Level of Qi Refinement.

Their age meant they couldn’t afford to wait any longer; if they couldn’t obtain Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects, they might be stuck at the Qi Refinement Realm forever.

However, Foundation Pills were too precious; relying on hunting Demonic Beasts and exploring, they had accumulated some Spirit Stones over decades but were still far from the thirty thousand Spirit Stones needed.

...

They had thought they might never have a chance to obtain Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects in their lifetime, but to their surprise, the Lin Family was so invested in the Luoyun Market that they were willing to offer a Minor Foundation Building Pill as a prize.

After all, Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects were a limited resource for the Lin Family as well, and it wasn’t possible to have too many; being willing to offer a Minor Foundation Building Pill already demonstrated the Lin Family’s sincerity.

As the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects were limited, and many cultivators were present, the competition to receive a reward was fierce indeed.

Thinking this, some cultivators seemed not to want to give up, though there were still some with higher cultivation who wanted to stay in the Luoyun Market to try their luck.

In their view, even if they did not receive the Minor Foundation Building Pill as a reward, they could still take the opportunity to earn some Spirit Stones. Seeking shelter in a larger market might be safer, but they wouldn’t have as many opportunities to earn Spirit Stones.

Besides, leaving the market now was also very dangerous; encountering a Demon Beast Tribe en route, even a small one, would be extremely dangerous for these Qi Refining Cultivators.

Seen this way, risk and opportunity coexisted; it was an unchanging truth that the greatest rewards could only be found in the most dangerous places.

In the crowd, a Qi Refining Eighth Level cultivator thought for a moment and then cupped his hands in a bow to Lin Tianming, asking, “Elder Lin, may I know the specific details of this reward and the conditions for making merit?”

“Could you please elaborate a bit more, so that our juniors have a clearer understanding to make a decision!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianming remembered that he had only mentioned offering a Minor Foundation Building Pill as a reward, without specifying the quantity; it was understandable for some less confident cultivators to have their concerns.

He chuckled and said, “Fellow Daoists, no one can predict this Demon Beast Tide. Our Lin Family has gone to great lengths for the cultivators of the Luoyun Mountain Range!

With this emotional appeal and reasoned persuasion, Lin Tianming urged the many cultivators to stay in the market and make a modest contribution for the entire Luoyun Mountain Range.

He continued, “In response to this Demon Beast Tide, the Lin Family is willing to offer three Minor Foundation Building Pills as rewards for the three Daoists who contribute the most during the effort to fend off the Monster Beast Tide.”

“In addition, Daoists who perform outstandingly will receive varying amounts of elixirs and Spirit Stones, from Lingshen Pills to Pozhang Pills, and Spirit Stones ranging from five hundred to ten thousand.”

“As long as the merits you earn rank within the top thirty, excluding the three major Foundation Establishing Families, you all have a chance at a reward!”

No sooner had his voice fallen than some cultivators who were prepared to leave stopped in their tracks, clearly attracted by Lin Tianming’s words.

If there were only a few rewards, they might not have had any chances, but as long as it was within the top thirty, they saw a lot of opportunities. If they were lucky enough to be among the top three, they could get a Minor Foundation Building Pill, and even just within the top thirty, they could still receive some rewards.

With these thoughts in mind, some of the Late Stage of Qi Refining cultivators in the crowd changed their minds about leaving the Luoyun Market and were keen to participate.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming breathed a sigh of relief; he wasn’t really concerned about the cultivators below the Sixth Level of Qi Refinement.

Their cultivation and strength were limited, making it difficult for them to contend with the immense Monster Beast Legion. Only those at the Late Stage of Qi Refining could make a difference.

However, he did not show any unusual expression; facing the inquiries of the cultivators, he still explained the Lin Family’s policies patiently, reassuring the cultivators.

In the crowd, Li Yuancheng and his wife stood in a corner, silent and seemingly lost in thought.

After more than twenty years, both had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Stage. They had spent years adventuring in the Luoyun Mountain Range, treasure hunting, and had accumulated a large number of Spirit Stones. However, they had never managed to find the Spiritual Objects necessary for Foundation Establishment. Their brief stay in Luoyun Market coincided with the news of a Demon Beast Tide erupting.

The couple had planned to leave Luoyun Market for Whirlwind Market in Huangyang Kingdom to take refuge, when they happened upon a large gathering of cultivators at the entrance of the market.

Out of curiosity, they came closer and happened to hear the reward promised by the Lin Family’s genius, Lin Tianming, which aroused their interest.

After a moment of silence, Song Yurong’s complexion rosy, she sent a message to Li Yuancheng with her inner voice, “Husband… what do you think the credibility of Lin Tianming’s words is?”

Li Yuancheng frowned, recalling the behaviors and styles of the Lin Family in recent years.

A moment later, he replied, “Wife… in my opinion, there’s a seventy to eighty percent chance they’re credible!”

Upon hearing this, Song Yurong was surprised. She knew her husband to be very cautious, rarely trusting others so easily, let alone someone offering three Minor Foundation Building Pills in one go.

Such a generous Foundation Establishing Family was a rarity in the entire Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World.

Regathering her thoughts, Song Yurong spoke up, “Seventy to eighty percent… You trust the Lin Family to such an extent?”

“Wife… you must not underestimate the Lin Family, for they have produced an expert at the Golden Core Stage,” he reminded her. “Just consider how the Lin Family, after years of silence, has recently risen like a comet with an unstoppable momentum,” he continued.

“Recall how the Lin Family quietly uprooted the once foremost clan of the Luoyun Mountain Range, the Jin Family, and has since secured over sixty percent of the profits of Luoyun Market. The number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators openly acknowledged in their family has reached as many as eight, with certainly one or two more concealed,” he added.

“All these developments have taken place over the past twenty years. Imagine how terrifying that is!” he concluded.

Before he finished speaking, Song Yurong replied, “Is that why you rate them so highly?”

“Hehe… that’s only one aspect!”

“The Lin Family has kept a very low profile these recent years; with their strength, they could totally dominate the Luoyun Mountain Range, but they choose not to,” he explained.

“Moreover, the Lin Family has been around for over eight hundred years. We might not have been aware before, but in the last fifty to sixty years, there’s been no talk of the Lin Family bullying others with their power or breaking their word,” he recounted.

“Even when they were at a low point, the Lin Family, now so powerful, still maintains a modest and honest demeanor. Such families are hard to come by!” he stressed.

“What’s more important is that they’ve made this promise in front of so many people; they are highly unlikely to renege on it,” he asserted.

Listening to Li Yuancheng’s explanation, Song Yurong nodded in agreement.

If she were the leader of the Lin Family, she wouldn’t announce such a thing so openly either. If they broke their word, though the Lin Family wouldn’t necessarily be in danger, their continued development would become very difficult.

After all, at the level of the Lin Family, reputation plays a huge role in their growth, and it just wouldn’t make sense to sacrifice the Lin Family’s bright future for a few Minor Foundation Building Pills.

Which was more important was clear to a family as vast and with as much potential as the Lin Family, they were sure to know the difference.

This line of thought wasn’t unique to her; many people in the crowd were considering the same thing. The credibility of the Lin Family wasn’t built overnight but over hundreds of years. Loose cultivators might not be clear on this, but the old families were well aware.

Considering these points, Song Yurong communicated with her inner voice, “Husband… why don’t we stay in Luoyun Market? It might be difficult for us to obtain two Minor Foundation Building Pills, but securing one should be well within our reach!”

“Haha… Wife, we truly think alike; I was thinking the exact same thing!”
