Chapter 287: Chapter 192 Breakthrough_2
Lin Shilu chuckled, and everyone’s faces were filled with excitent; the entire scene was bustling and lively.
Shortly after a brief chat of half an hour, they exchanged information about so clan affairs and then left with cupped fists.
Before leaving, Lin Shikang instructed him and Lin Shilu to stay in the clan for a few years of cultivation. Lin Xingping would be stationed in Qianchuan Market for several years. With Luoyun Pavilion establishing a foothold, their presence there would no longer make much difference.
As for his task, it was, of course, to focus on cultivation and the preparation of Foundation Establishnt Pills. After all, the family already had quite a few mbers above the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, all waiting for the Foundation Establishnt Pills for breakthrough.
Both Lin Tianming and Lin Shilu nodded and agreed to this matter, as it was a good opportunity for cultivation.
In the end, Lin Tianming and his two grandchildren left the cave dwelling together, heading toward his father’s dwelling.
With the secret realm journey over, Lin Tianming would also likely stay within the clan for long-term cultivation for a few years.
However, before starting his seclusion, he would first reunite with his family and then comnce closed-door cultivation and the preparation of Foundation Establishnt Pills.
That night, upon learning of Lin Tianming’s safe return, his mother and sister hurriedly ca out of seclusion. Seeing Lin Tianming return unhard, his mother’s worried heart could finally relax.
From his departure to Qianchuan Market to now, after not seeing him for two years, his mother’s cultivation had reached the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, not far from the Great Perfection Realm. Following this rate of cultivation, she would likely make a move to impact the Foundation Establishnt Stage within three years.
And his sister had seized a spot amongst the Qi Refining Seven Champions. With the resources provided by her grandfather and brother Lin Tianming, she had made rapid progress in the past two years, also reaching the Qi Refining Eighth Level, becoming one of the fastest cultivating won of the Tian generation in the clan.
With the current cultivation levels of the mother and daughter, plus an abundance of resources, it was highly probable they could impact the Foundation Establishnt Stage together.
In the evening, the family of five finished their dinner and sat in the small courtyard chatting about everything from clan mbers to cultivation and even to the Four Arts of Cultivation, talking for quite so ti.
In the two years he had been stationed in Qianchuan Market, apart from sending serpent eggs and Spirit Stones back to the clan and quickly returning from the last secret realm affair, he had no ti to attend to the clan’s internal matters.
Listening to the others, the selection of the Qi Refining Seven Champions had taken place last year. Except for the Great Perfection slot, which was secured by Lin Xingzhi, the six slots from the Fourth to Ninth Layer of Qi Refining were all taken by mbers of the Tian generation.
Lin Tianfeng was the one who obtained the Ninth Layer slot, while Lin Tianqin took the Eighth Layer. It was a pity for Lin Tianhong; although also at the Eighth Layer, he was a year older than Lin Tianqin and had to concede.
Despite his likely superior strength at the sa realm, as a male mber of the clan, it was difficult for him to challenge her.
And Lin Tianyue, his sister, won the Seventh Layer slot. Now that she had broken through to the Eighth Layer, Lin Tianqin no longer had a chance past this year, especially since Lin Tianyue, his sister, was seven years younger than this elder sister of the Tian generation.
As for the clan mbers below the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining, apart from Lin Tianhu at the Sixth Level being a familiar face, the rest started cultivation after the battle at Green Bamboo Mountain and all had the talent of Three Spiritual Roots, also all exceptionally talented young cultivators.
With lesser hardships in their cultivation journey and the clan doubling the monthly stipend and rit points for services over the past ten years, the resources for the new generation’s cultivation significantly increased.
With resource assistance, their pace of cultivation was much faster than during the tis of Lin Tianfeng and his peers.
This is the result of the clan’s strength; they were also fortunate to live in a good era where the resources for cultivators in the clan currently far exceeded those of the other two major clans by several tis.
At this rate, the disparity between the three major clans of Luoyun Mountain would only grow wider and wider.
Before they knew it, the night grew quiet…
The casual conversation was drawing to a close, and Lin Tianming took out a large number of Spirit Stones and elixirs to distribute to his family mbers.
He did not share the petals and seeds of the Seven-Colored Golden Lotus with his grandfather and father, not because he was stingy, but because there were too few of them. Moreover, since he practised Dual Cultivation of Body and Law, it would have the greatest effect if he used them himself.
Seeing the vast number of Spirit Stones Lin Tianming brought out—totally thirty thousand—and more than ten bottles of Second Order Pills, as well as so Qi Refinent elixirs for his sister and mother to use.
Considering Lin Tianming’s current cultivation and wealth, probably only Lin Shikang and Lin Shilu could surpass him.
Under such circumstances, his grandfather did not refuse, and each of them accepted so Spirit Stones and elixirs before putting an end to their chat.
After his grandfather gave several words of advice, they finally got up to leave his father’s small courtyard.
The two grandchildren walked on the road, then parted ways at the empty Bluestone Plaza, each returning to their own cave dwellings.
Lin Tianming entered the training room, sat on the ditation cushion, and reflected on his cultivation schedule.
After experiencing trials in adversity, he felt that he was not far from the third level of Foundation Establishnt, and decided to attempt a breakthrough first.
With his mind made up, he began to cultivate and breathe deeply, rotating his cultivation technique through a Grand Circulation, and when his condition reached its peak, he imdiately took out a petal of the Seven-Colored Golden Lotus and held it in his hand.
Looking at the brightly colored petal emanating bursts of special fragrance, it was refreshing and delightful to the senses.
He had previously consud lotus seeds and was extrely satisfied with the effects, and with six petals left that he had never used before, his anticipation for these petals began to rise.
Regathering his focus, he swallowed the petal without hesitation.
The bright petal dissolved in his mouth, a special sweetness spread, refreshing the mind and spirit.
The energy from the petal was gentle and began to overflow soon after consumption, not at all violent like the lotus seeds.
Lin Tianming did not hesitate to start refining it, the energy contained in the petal was slowly refined and then transford into spiritual power that flowed along his ridians, eventually converging in his Seven Sea Dantian.
Feeling the refined spiritual power and its effects, it was sowhat inferior to that of the lotus seeds, but still significantly better than the effects of Second Order Pills.
Moreover, refining such heaven and earth treasures did not cause any discomfort or side effects, making the use of Dragon Bone Pills unnecessary.
In light of this, even he did not want to endure the previous agonizing pain.
Returning to his task, Lin Tianming did not pause and continued to cultivate at full strength, quickly refining the energy contained within the petal.
Ti passed slowly, and half a year went by in this way.
In the cultivation room, Lin Tianming was statue-like, having remained in seclusion without moving an inch for half a year.
At this mont, he was at the very peak of the second layer of the Foundation Establishnt, on the verge of a breakthrough at any ti.
During the half-year period, he had consud three petals of the Seven-Colored Golden Lotus, and this was the fourth.
Feeling that the energy of this petal was nearly refined, yet still without a successful breakthrough.
Lin Tianming increased his pace, frantically refining the remaining energy, and then marshaled the imnse spiritual power to mount one final assault.
By now, the spiritual power in his Dantian had reached its limit; all it needed was an infusion of even greater spiritual energy to break through the shackles.
With a determined expression, he controlled the accumulated vast spiritual energy, pouring it into his Qi Sea Dantian, and then began to impact the barrier of the third level of Foundation Establishnt.
Ti and again, he sweated profusely, the accumulated spiritual energy began to wane a little, still without a successful breakthrough.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming’s expression turned frenzied.
“Today, I must break through the third level of Foundation Establishnt… break for !”
Lin Tianming gritted his teeth and concentrated all his spiritual energy together, charging madly against the realm’s barrier.
After an indeterminate amount of ti, a peculiar sound emanated.
His Qi Sea Dantian suddenly broke its restraints, like a dam bursting, and a great flood of river water poured into a vast lake or sea.
Feeling the increase in spiritual power throughout his body, he was much stronger than before, and moreover, the exhilaration of the breakthrough filled him with imnse excitent.
Now that he had successfully broken through, Lin Tianming let out a long sigh of relief.
It was not easy to make a breakthrough, and if his realm was not stable, causing a fall back, it would waste another year or two to re-cultivate.
If he fell back in his realm, although he would be free from the boundaries of that realm, wasting two precious years to re-cultivate was not desirable, so naturally, he had to solidify his cultivation as soon as possible.
With this in mind, he dared not be careless and instantly set out to cultivate and regulate his breath, running his cultivation technique through a Grand Circulation, and started to consolidate his cultivation.
