Chapter 36 – 35 Grandfather’s Entrustnt_1
“`
At dusk, the waning rays of the setting sun bathed their small courtyard in a warm glow.
Brother and sister, Lin Tianming and Lin Tianyue, were sitting at the stone table. After guiding his sister through her daily cultivation, Lin Tianyue persisted in coaxing Lin Tianming, insisting that her brother tell her about the events that had taken place while he was safeguarding Qingfeng Town.
Worn down by her nagging, Lin Tianming began recounting his story, starting with the mont he left the family residence.
Lin Tianming spoke non-stop, his tale lasting a quarter of an hour, spanning from the patrol mission to the forced counterattack, to the killing of the man in the red robe in a duel of magic.
Upon hearing this part, Lin Tianyue’s rosy and handso face quickly turned pale, as if she herself had been in the midst of the ordeal.
Lin Tianming continued with his account, and Lin Tianyue listened intently, covering the battles with the Striped Crocodile, the sneaky harvesting of Earth Spirit Ganoderma, the inadvertent trespass into the Spirit-Connecting Python’s territory, and the embarrassing escape.
Lin Tianming concealed the matter of the Cultivation Technique, which was of great consequence; the fewer who knew, the better. But he shared unreservedly the dramatic events of battling and fleeing for his life.
Since she had started her cultivation and had beco a cultivator, it was only natural to clarify the realities of the Cultivation World and let his sister understand the true nature of it so that she could adapt more quickly in the future.
In this mont, Lin Tianyue’s heart was greatly affected. Having grown up with exceptional living conditions, carefree cultivation within the family residence, a grandfather who was an alchemist, parents who were cultivators, and a brother with extraordinary talent, she had never faced any danger from her childhood until now.
The experiences her brother spoke of revealed that the Cultivation World was indeed filled with crises and opportunities. The law of the survival of the fittest was exemplified most vividly and cruelly.
Unknowingly, the brother and sister had been talking for half an hour; the sun had set, and darkness was gradually descending.
Ren Yuxuan, who had been in closed-door cultivation for a fortnight, opened her beautiful eyes, and a trace of joy crossed her delicate, moist face.
Finally, she had reached the Qi Refining Eighth Level. For the past five years, she had rarely consud elixirs, devoting her ti to guiding and taking care of Lin Tianming and his sister. She hadn’t had the chance to focus solely on her cultivation in seclusion. Relying on a substantial amount of elixirs, building up her energy and releasing it in controlled amounts, she had naturally progressed and successfully reached the Qi Refining Eighth Level, her overall aura significantly more robust than before.
With only one day left before Lin Tianming had to leave the family, it was natural for Ren Yuxuan to erge from seclusion to see her son off.
Ren Yuxuan stood up, left the secret chamber, walked down the long corridor, and appeared in the courtyard.
Upon seeing their mother co out of seclusion, Lin Tianming and his sister imdiately stepped forward to greet her.
“Tianming greets Mother. Congratulations on successfully advancing to the Qi Refining Eighth Level!”
Lin Tianming’s Divine Sense made it impossible for his sister to notice the advancent, but not him. His Divine Sense might even be stronger than his mother’s at the Qi Refining Eighth Level. Moreover, since Ren Yuxuan did not conceal her cultivation, her advancent was easily detected.
Lin Tianyue, upon hearing of her mother’s successful advancent, was also overjoyed. She grabbed her mother’s arm and shook it ceaselessly, displaying the deanor of a doting daughter.
“Alright, I will go cook a feast. We’ll sit down together for a good al tonight. Tianming, send a ssage to your grandfather, asking him to co back for dinner.”
“Yes, I will send the ssage to Grandfather right away.”
Just as Lin Tianming was about to send the ssage, Grandfather Lin Shigong walked in through the door, crossing the threshold into the small courtyard, and sat down at the stone table nearby.
“`
Lin Tianming and his companion hurriedly perford a salute!
Lin Shigong had them sit down before speaking:
“Tianming, the day after tomorrow, early in the morning, you will set out on your journey. The road is long and far from the influence of our family. Qianchuan Market is a place where masters gather, including Core Formation Stage seniors. You must be cautious in everything you do when outside and must not act recklessly. Consult your Fifteenth Grandfather on all matters. He has often traveled outside these past years, and his Divine Skills are not weak. You must obey his orders and rember not to draw unnecessary trouble to our family.”
Lin Tianming replied earnestly:
“Grandfather, rest assured, I will surely follow behind Fifteenth Grandfather and will not take risks lightly, nor will I carelessly cause trouble.”
Lin Shigong was very satisfied. After a year of guarding Qingfeng Town, his grandson had matured a lot. He had fought life-and-death battles with cultivators and Demonic Beasts. Although it was unknown which Cultivation Technique he was practicing, his Divine Skills were surely remarkable. Coupled with his extraordinary fortune, he was already fit to survive on his own in the Cultivation World.
After a year of experience, Lin Tianming was wise and resourceful, with plenty of combat experience and substantial knowledge. He also had a large number of Spiritual Artifacts and talisman paper for fighting against enemies. With significant Divine Skills and a heart dedicated to the path of cultivation, if we protect him everywhere and are too protective, he may find it difficult to travel far.
Lin Tianming sat respectfully on the side, listening to his grandfather Lin Shigong’s commands.
“Ye Pinghai is an old acquaintance of mine, who values friendship and righteousness. Although it has been more than ten years since we last t, every ti the family sends soone to Qianchuan Market, they visit him, and he has helped us refine Second Order Pills many tis.”
“When this man was still in the Qi Refinent Realm, I helped him, and he owed us a favor. However, over the years, with the many tis he has helped us refine pills, the favor he owed us has long been repaid.”
“Although he is a Loose Cultivator, his talent is extrely high. He has already entered the late stage of Foundation Establishnt, and he has a considerable chance of entering the Golden Core Stage. He is also a Second Order Alchemist. When you visit him, you must not offend him. If you can get him to personally guide you for a while, the gains will not be small.”
Lin Tianming firmly responded, repeatedly assuring his grandfather to be at ease, which finally put Lin Shigong’s mind at rest.
Lin Tianming was also very eager to see Qianchuan Market, to witness the famous market in the southern Wei Kingdom and to encounter various strong figures there.
The grandfather and grandchildren sat in the courtyard discussing for half an hour, and Ren Yuxuan had prepared a lavish al. Aside from Lin Xingrong who was in Luoyun Market, the four sat together to have dinner.
After a al and plenty of drinks, Lin Tianming and the others each returned to their rooms, and Grandfather went back to the Alchemy Hall for cultivation.
Sitting on the stone bed in his room, Lin Tianming carefully went through the items in his storage bag to avoid mistakenly estimating his own resources and strength.
At this ti, Lin Tianming still had over twenty Lingshen Pills, several Huiyuan Pills, Huadu Pills, and Consolidating Essence Pills each, which ant he basically wouldn’t be lacking consumption-type pills for a while.
He had materials for fifty Spirit Essence Pills, twenty-five portions each of Strong Spirit Pills, Body Strengthening Pills, along with assistance elixirs for cultivating the Tiangang Body Art. However, as he was not yet able to refine them on his own, it was essential to refine so of these pills during his trip to Qianchuan Market to aid in cultivation. Otherwise, as his cultivation rose, enduring the pain purely on his own would be nearly impossible for long. Refining pills had beco a must on his agenda.
His ans for dealing with enemies were also strong. His own Cultivation Technique was not inferior, and combined with the Sword Array, plus ten First Order Superior Grade talisman papers and three First Order Superior Grade Defensive Spiritual Tools, ordinary cultivators at the Qi Refining Eighth Level were not his match, and he even had a fair chance of victory against those at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining.
Lin Tianming packed each resource neatly into the storage bag, placing different types of Spiritual dicine and talisman paper in separate locations in an orderly fashion.
At this point, the night was deep, and Lin Tianming did not continue his cultivation; instead, he relaxed, lay down on the stone bed, and fell straight to sleep.
