Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

In the secret chamber, Lin Tianming held a jade slip in his hands, pondering deeply after consulting it.

Today, he had purposely bought a large number of books from various shops in the marketplace, including some that recorded the wonders of heaven and earth, but he still hadn't found any references related to the Mysterious Moon Order.

Lin Tianming speculated that it was very likely the key to some secret realm or the token of a large family or sect.

In the vast Cultivation World, there are many dangerous places and secret realms, which contain a multitude of treasures but also numerous prohibitions and formation protections, all extremely powerful. Usually, special tokens or certain items are needed to enter.

Alternatively, when a secret realm emerges into the world, its prohibitions might be weakened, making entry much safer.

If one does not have the specific items and attempts to force their way in, it's very easy to be attacked by the prohibitions, risking loss of life.

It was said that tens of thousands of years ago, in Xuanzhou, a secret realm was discovered. A Nascent Soul Cultivator rashly entered and was directly killed by the powerful prohibitions. There are not a few such examples in the Cultivation World.

You must understand that Nascent Soul Cultivators are already powerful figures that can preside over a region; even such individuals can die under prohibitions, which shows that secret realms are not something one can simply enter on a whim.

Since no relevant records could be found, he could only set the matter aside for now.

Packing the Mysterious Moon Token and a large number of books into his storage bag, he once again commenced his retreat for cultivation.

Green Bamboo Mountain, Lin Family Clan Grounds.

On the Peak of Green Bamboo Mountain, Lin Shigong sat in the courtyard, closely monitoring the activities of two other courtyards.

He had been waiting here for a month, as Lin Shixin and Lin Xingyuan were in retreat, impacting the Foundation Establishment Stage, and family members were needed to protect the law. As he was relatively idle, he took on the task.

In a short while, Clan Leader Lin Shihua entered the courtyard.

"Ninth Brother, Shixin and Xingyuan have been in retreat for a month now, why is there still no movement?"

Lin Shihua's expression was solemn, revealing his anxiety.

"Shihua, comprehending the insights from our ancestors takes a few days, and judging from the time, regardless of success or failure, we should see results soon. Just be a bit more patient," Lin Shigong said.

"Alright, there's nothing else we can do!" Lin Shihua said with a touch of helplessness.

Suddenly, the aura of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator spread out.

A smile flashed across both of their faces concurrently.

"It's Xingyuan!"

"Xingyuan has successfully broken through!"

A month's wait finally bore fruit, and they both let out a long sigh of relief.

Filled with immense joy, Lin Xingyuan's breakthrough into the Foundation Establishment Stage added another Foundation Establishment Cultivator to the Lin Family, making a total of six.

After a while, they regained their composure, and Lin Shigong said: Discover hidden tales at empiren/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Shihua, your clan responsibilities are demanding, you shouldn't waste any more time here. Although Xingyuan has broken through, he still needs to solidify his cultivation. I'm enough to handle things here."

"Furthermore, keep the news of Xingyuan's breakthrough confidential for now. Shixin is still in retreat. Instruct the clan members not to approach; my presence is enough!"

"Alright, Ninth Brother, please take care. If anything happens, just send a message to me."

"Hmm!"

Lin Xinghua bowed and left, leaving Lin Shigong to continue guarding Lin Shixin.

Time flew by, and another ten days passed. Lin Shixin had been in retreat for forty days now.

In the secret chamber, Lin Shixin's face was pale. Starting from the day he took the Minor Foundation Building Pill, it had now been thirty days, the final day.

As he watched the rapidly dissipating power of the pill, with less than half of its strength remaining and a significant amount of spiritual power yet to be refined, Lin Shixin became extremely anxious.

Over the past month, Lin Shixin had done his utmost to refine spiritual power, but the process was simply too slow. At this rate, he would certainly fail to complete it.

With only the remaining half of the pill's power left, Lin Shixin decided to make a last all-out effort. If he still couldn't break through, he would be stuck in the Qi Refinement Realm.

Lin Shixin operated his cultivation technique, completely disregarding the piercing pain in his Seven Sea Dantian, refined the last of the pill's power, and launched another assault for a breakthrough.

Outside the small courtyard, Lin Shigong's face was exceedingly grim, burdened with deep concerns.

At this moment, he was extremely worried about the success or failure of Lin Shixin.

Lin Shixin and Lin Shigong were not far apart in age and had spent similar years in cultivation. Since childhood, they had played together and learned the knowledge of cultivation together.

Lin Shixin had a very good nature, optimistic and cheerful, not at all as staid as Lin Shigang and Lin Shiji; he had a good relationship with every one of their clansmen brothers.

The affection among the peers of the clan was profound; although they were not blood brothers, they were more like true brothers.

From any perspective, he hoped that Lin Shixin would successfully break through, so that the family could become stronger and not have to part ways with the heavens and earth in twenty years.

Today was already the fortieth day, and if he did not succeed, he would completely fail and would never have a chance again.

"Sigh..."

Lin Shigong sighed again.

Half a day passed by, and inside the secret chamber.

Lin Shixin, disregarding the consequences, made several more attempts to break through.

By now, Lin Shixin's face was pale as death, disheveled, with blood seeping from his seven orifices, his breath was extremely feeble.

As the last trace of the medicinal strength faded away, Lin Shixin's last sliver of hope was completely shattered.

Lin Shixin stopped his cultivation practice, shook his head with a bitter smile, and felt somewhat downhearted.

Despite the difficulty of acceptance, the fact was that he had failed, and he could only resign himself to fate.

He stood up, straightened up his appearance, and walked out of the secret chamber.

Outside the house, Lin Shigong saw Lin Shixin coming out and hurriedly greeted him.

Lin Shigong wanted to say something several times but didn't know what to say, and in the end could only offer words of comfort:

"Shixin, it's okay as long as you've tried your best, don't overthink it!"

"Ninth Brother, I'm fine, you all don't need to worry!"

Lin Shixin said with a smile, seemingly having come to terms with reality and recovering his spirits.

Seeing this, Lin Shigong felt even heavier in his heart.

"Shixin, you should go back and rest for now. There's a long road ahead, and the younger generation has yet to grow up; the family still needs you!"

"Thank you for your concern, Ninth Brother. Such is fate; if I've failed, then I've failed!"

Having said that, Lin Shixin cupped his fists in farewell and flew down the mountain.

Inside Lin Shigong's courtyard, Lin Shihua hurried over, and the two discussed the outcome for Lin Shixin and the others.

Lin Shigong sighed repeatedly, "Shihua, your Tenth Brother has failed!"

Hearing this news, Lin Shihua also turned pale and immediately inquired.

"How is Tenth Brother doing, and what about his mood?"

"He's all right, he's suffered some backlash, but with some time to recover, he will be fine."

"Sigh... that's good!"

Lin Shihua was also very emotional.

Too many of the Shi generation had been delayed; if it had been twenty years earlier, the hope for breakthrough would have been much greater.

With Lin Shixin's failure to establish his foundation, the Shi generation of the Lin Family had virtually no chance left, with only Lin Shigang and Lin Shihe being too old and having only a theoretical possibility, on top of that, there were no more Minor Foundation Building Pill quotas left for the Shi generation.

Meanwhile, members of the Xing generation still had potential and with Lin Xingyuan, two people had already succeeded in Foundation Establishment. As long as they had the spiritual objects for Foundation Establishment, the Lin Family was not lacking in cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage.

"What's done is done; we can only accept it."

The two chatted idly for a while and then busied themselves with their own tasks. The Lin Family remained very tranquil, as if there were no ripples at all.
