Top Luck: Leading the family to cultivate immortality

In the blink of an eye, it was a few days later.

Over the past few days, after a few days of rest, Lin Tianming's condition has returned to its peak, and the original trace of fatigue has disappeared.

Afterwards, he visited several senior members of the Lin family.

Including his own father Lin Xingrong, Lin Tianming also took the initiative to go and pay his respects.

Through the mouths of these tribesmen, Lin Tianming also learned about some recent developments in the world of immortal cultivation.

Among these intelligence messages, there is nothing particularly noteworthy, because the land of Qingzhou is now surprisingly peaceful. Even the Blood Red Alliance, which usually does all kinds of evil, has not made any moves for many years since Song Chufeng was killed, and it seems that they have forgotten to investigate this matter.

Regarding this point, Lin Tianming is not naive enough to think that the Blood Red Alliance cannot guess who the murderer is who killed Song Chufeng.

After all, when Song Chufeng came to the Lin family, it was obvious that his purpose was to stop anyone in the Lin family from breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Song Chufeng disappeared from the world of immortal cultivation with this mission, and hundreds of elite disciples of the Blood Red Alliance were lost as well.

And when the elite disciples of the Blood Red Alliance were being besieged, many people from other forces had witnessed the Lin family members besieging the Blood Red Alliance disciples with their own eyes.

The fact that the Lin family could do such a thing in such a high-profile manner is enough to show that the Lin family is no longer afraid of the revenge of the Blood Red Alliance.

In this case, the fact that the Lin family can do this means that someone in the Lin family has really broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.

In fact, later on, the Lin family publicly held a baby-forming ceremony, and Lin Tianming also appeared in public, which further confirmed the matter in the cultivation world.

Judging from this change, although no one saw the process of Song Chufeng being killed, at that point in time and in that special location, the Blood Red Alliance could determine who the final murderer was without any hesitation.

However, even so, the Blood Red Alliance never took any action.

In this regard, if it were within a short period of time, it would be understandable for the Crimson Alliance to swallow their anger.

After all, no matter how powerful the Blood Red Alliance is, it also has a strong opponent in Qingzhou.

In this way, when it is unable to figure out the other party's confidence, even a giant as powerful as the Crimson Alliance would probably not dare to act rashly.

And now, seven or eight years have passed since Song Chufeng was killed.

During such a long period of time, the Blood Red Alliance has not shown any action. Considering Lin Tianming's understanding of this force and its style of doing things, it makes people think more about the result.

At the very least, the Crimson Alliance is so high-profile on a daily basis, and its style of doing things is to take revenge when there is a grudge.

However, now, so much time has passed, and the Crimson Alliance remains unmoved, which makes people feel a little abnormal.

Lin Tianming thought hard but couldn't figure out the reason.

It was precisely this that made Lin Tianming feel even more unusual.

Could it be that the Crimson Alliance is planning some major event?
This illusion became stronger and stronger in Lin Tianming's heart.

For this reason, Lin Tianming thought about it over and over again, and still felt that it was becoming more and more possible.

So one day, Lin Tianming sent a message to his father Lin Xingrong early, asking him to send a few clansmen who were strong and reliable in their ability to do things, to quietly leave the family and secretly go to Yuxu Country where the Blood Red Alliance was located to gather information.

The candidates for these tribesmen are required to have strength above the sixth level of foundation building, and all of them are new faces in the world of immortal cultivation.

This is also done to conceal their identities from others.

Because once exposed, in a place like Yuxu Country, the outcome would definitely be a life-or-death situation.

In addition, it will be led by a stranger from the tribe in the Jindan period, disguised as a caravan from a down-and-out Jindan family, lurking in the territory of Yuxu Country, keeping a close eye on every move of the Blood Red Alliance.

If there is any major event or any major action by the Blood Red Alliance, they can send the message back as soon as possible, so that the Lin family has more time to react.

After arranging all these, Lin Tianming felt a little relieved.

As for other major events, what is worth noting are a few things that are neither big nor small.

Among them, there were only some frictions between several Jindan forces, and even the death of two Jindan cultivators.

In addition, some foundation-building forces gave birth to Jindan-stage cultivators, thus leaving a brand new Jindan force in the history of Qingzhou.

This kind of thing is actually very common in the world of immortal cultivation. Almost every few decades, some of the Jindan forces will decline, while some foundation-building forces will take the opportunity to rise.

The rise and fall, and even extinction of such forces is all too common.

For this reason, Lin Tianming only paid a little attention to it.

However, among these events, there were some changes that aroused Lin Tianming's interest.

The reason was that a civil war suddenly broke out in a small country on the edge of Qingzhou, close to Jizhou.

According to the news received, the Crimson Alliance seems to be the manipulator behind the civil unrest in this country.

During this civil strife, the several existing Jindan forces were divided into two camps, and a war broke out between them.

After just over two months, only three of the original six Jindan forces remained. The strongest of them had managed to hold on until now, but now it is unable to hold on alone and may be destroyed at any time.

As for the other two Jindan forces, they were originally the inferior ones, but through this melee, they were able to grow stronger by merging with other Jindan forces.

At this point, there were only three Jindan forces left in this country, and hundreds of large and small forces under their command disappeared from then on.

During this melee, there was intelligence that the shadow of a Blood Red Alliance monk was seen, which led to the belief that the Blood Red Alliance was behind the melee, fanning the flames and ultimately causing a melee.

However, there is no news yet about the specific purpose of the Blood Red Alliance.

However, by now, this news has basically spread throughout the world of immortal cultivation.

At this time, the Blood Red Alliance was able to take the initiative to jump out and fish in troubled waters. For those Nascent Soul forces, it was actually a kind of spiritual release.

After all, whether it was the Yulan Sect or the other Nascent Soul forces, they had never seen the Blood Red Alliance so quiet in the past twenty years. It was even a bit unusual for them to be so quiet.

The more unusual something is, the more it indicates that there is an ulterior motive behind it.

On the contrary, now, the Blood Red Alliance seems to have returned to its former state, and they can be seen again in the entire world of immortal cultivation. With the development of certain events, these people have also taken advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters.

Such a commotion actually made the Nascent Soul forces who were watching the situation quietly couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, in Lin Tianming's sight, he will not let down his guard just because of such a change in the Blood Red Alliance.

Because in his opinion, the more cautious one should be at this time.

Especially when facing an opponent like the Crimson Alliance, one must be extremely alert.

As for the purpose behind the Blood Red Alliance, Lin Tianming believed that he had to be on guard. At least at the moment, he still had to remain vigilant against the Blood Red Alliance.

Once the Blood Red Alliance makes any big move, the family will be able to react in time.

In addition, the country where civil unrest breaks out also needs to continue to pay attention to subsequent developments.

As long as there are other forces, we must be cautious.

Knowing this, Lin Tianming, after discussing with Lin Xingrong, finally sent some clansmen to collect relevant intelligence information, so that any disturbance could be fed back to the family in a timely manner.

After arranging these things, time moved forward a few days.

Next, Lin Tianming returned to the valley.

At this time, there was still no major change in the valley, except that the concentration of the surrounding spiritual energy had increased several times more than when Lin Tianyun began his retreat due to the family's crazy increase in the past year.

Obviously, the family is trying its best to provide the greatest help possible in supporting Lin Tianyun in his efforts to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

Among these helps, in addition to the collected auxiliary spiritual objects, there are also many defensive magic weapons, as well as various materials used to enhance the power of magic weapons.

In addition, the Lin family has also invested a lot in increasing the concentration of spiritual energy in the clan’s land.

Just over the past year, the Lin family has consumed at least tens of millions of low-grade spirit stones.

And this is just the beginning.

Next, as Lin Tianyun’s retreat enters the later stages, the requirements for the richness of spiritual energy will only become higher.

By then, in order to meet his needs for breakthrough, the family's daily consumption of spirit stones will probably increase several times.

It is even possible that if Lin Tianyun's retreat lasts for five years, it would consume hundreds of millions of low-grade spirit stones.

If it lasts for more than ten years, the consumption will be astronomical.

For example, when Lin Tianming was trying to reach the Nascent Soul stage, it took him less than five years at most. However, in order to support his consumption needs, his family consumed over 100 million low-grade spirit stones.

If such a huge consumption were placed in front of an ordinary Jindan force, they would not be able to sustain it even if the entire clan was mobilized.

In other words, it is the nouveau riche family like the Lin family, relying on the crazy expansion in recent years, and the horrific profits obtained by Lin Tianming killing enemies everywhere, that can support several clansmen to reach the Nascent Soul stage without any pressure at the same time.

Such a result is enough to show how profound the Lin family's foundation is.

Therefore, in supporting Lin Tianyun, the Lin family also tried their best and tried every possible way to increase his success rate of breakthrough.

If you want more opportunities, such as increasing the concentration of spiritual energy in the breakthrough site, auxiliary methods like this are not the main methods, but they can definitely play a role.

Especially at certain critical moments, it is often this factor that may lead to two different results.

The more important point is that as long as Lin Tianyun can successfully break through, all the efforts of the Lin family will be worth it.

To put it another way, even if Lin Tianyun ultimately fails to make a breakthrough, the Lin family still has to pay the price.

This point is not only highlighted by Lin Tianyun, but also by other members of the clan. When this day comes, the Lin family will also do their utmost to ensure their breakthrough.

It’s just that Lin Tianyun has already made the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage, and the Lin family has a strong foundation now, so they can muster such great confidence and do their best to assist him.

If this condition does not exist, the Lin family can only do their best.

However, the current situation is good. The Lin family has such a foundation that it can support the cultivation of high-level clan members.

If Lin Tianyun can successfully break through, the Lin family will welcome the second Nascent Soul stage expert, and the overall strength of the family will double.

By that time, the Lin family will be able to collect resources with less effort because of their strong strength.

And if they have the support of strength, the Lin family's foundation will increase rapidly, so that they will have more resources to support the improvement of their clansmen's cultivation.

Therefore, such development is completely complementary.

Lin Tianming has a special understanding of this point.

For this reason, Lin Tianming felt happy and relieved from the bottom of his heart when he saw that his family once again took out such huge resources to support Lin Tianyun in his effort to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

In his opinion, the Lin family is now completely different from what it used to be.

Back then, it was extremely difficult for the Lin family to even obtain a foundation-building pill, and they were almost in danger of destruction several times.

Fortunately, all this is over, and the Lin family has survived successfully. Moreover, the Lin family has continued to rise rapidly and grown into the sixth Nascent Soul force in Qingzhou at an incredible speed.

Today, the Lin family is united in spirit, the overall morale is high, the clan members are extremely energetic, and the future development prospects are broad.

In this situation, Lin Tianming felt extremely satisfied and more encouraged.

For this reason, whenever Lin Tianming thought of this, he couldn't help but feel excited.

After calming down a little, Lin Tianming gradually withdrew his thoughts and stopped looking into the distance.

Next, he considered his own cultivation.

According to his idea, Lin Tianyun is about to enter a critical period, because according to the calculation of time, he should have entered the first step, that is, the step of breaking the pill and condensing the embryonic form of the Nascent Soul.

This period is crucial for subsequent breakthroughs.

If something happens to Lin Tianyun, there will be absolutely no chance of survival if Lin Tianming is not at the scene.

On the contrary, if he were present, if Lin Tianyun encountered some minor misfortunes, there might be a way to save him.

Therefore, Lin Tianming cannot stay in seclusion for too long now, and he cannot stay away from the clan’s land of Qingyun Mountain.

Because Qingzhou is currently in a turbulent time, and Lin Tianyun's breakthrough is of extraordinary significance to the current Lin family.

During this critical period, the Lin family should be cautious and put Lin Tianyun's breakthrough first.

Under such circumstances, Lin Tianming cannot leave this place, nor should he stay in seclusion for too long.

On this basis, if Lin Tianming were to be completely idle, that would not be his style.

So after considering for a moment, Lin Tianming decided that he should continue trying to make the elixir and try to use this time to refine and improve his alchemy skills.

At the very least, it has to be stable to a certain extent.

Having made up his mind, Lin Tianming took a short rest in the family and soon came out of the valley again.

In this familiar training area, Lin Tianming sat cross-legged on a stone platform.

Afterwards, he sent out his spiritual consciousness into the Qiankun Jade Seed and checked the various spiritual medicine materials he had collected over the years. In addition, he also carefully counted the various pill recipes and some things related to alchemy to prepare for the next alchemy.

Soon, after some calculations, Lin Tianming finally figured out the number of treasures in his collection.

According to his statistics, the fourth-level spiritual medicine materials he has collected over the years have exceeded one hundred pieces, of which more than twenty are of high value.

Among these, most of them are not used yet.

The reason was that he had no use for these spiritual medicinal materials at the moment, nor could he refine these pills, or even put together a complete pill recipe.

As for those relatively common fourth-grade spiritual medicine materials, there are more than thirty pieces that can still be used for the time being.

The rest can only be stored and their value can be realized when the right opportunity comes.

But at the moment, he can use the spiritual medicinal materials to refine pills and guarantee a certain success rate, which can be put together to make several pill recipes.

Among these pill recipes, the most common and frequently used ones are pills used to heal injuries or restore true essence.

And these things can also play a certain role for Lin Tianming now.

After all, Nascent Soul stage warriors will also fight and kill each other, so they will naturally get injured and some of their true energy and magic power will be consumed.

As such, he also needed to recover his true energy, magic power and injuries as quickly as possible.

Because of this, Lin Tianming will also need the commonly used fourth-level elixirs.

And beyond that, even if Lin Tianming himself cannot use them, sooner or later, when more and more members of the Lin family break through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future, they will be able to use these pills.

Lin Tianming believed that this day would not be too far away.

After all, the Lin family controls many spiritual objects for forming infants, and so far there are several people in the family who are qualified to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

Under such basic conditions, the Lin family will sooner or later have several Nascent Soul cultivators coexisting.

This will come sooner or later, it is just a matter of time.

In this case, Lin Tianming was the first to enter the Nascent Soul stage and also the first to become a qualified fourth-level alchemist, helping the tribesmen to refine usable elixirs, which was also his job.

Based on this point alone, Lin Tianming thought that he should do so.

In addition to these factors, he himself has nothing to do now. He wants to practice but it is not the right time. He wants to go out for some experience but he is worried about Lin Tianyun, and even more so the Lin family.

In that case, he might as well take advantage of this time to improve his alchemy skills.

Anyway, this step will have to be taken sooner or later, and it will take a lot of time.

Now that he has such a great opportunity, he has no reason to let it go.

Knowing this, Lin Tianming sorted out these spiritual medicine materials carefully. As for those third-level elixirs, Lin Tianming had collected too many of them now, so he didn't have to worry about this level of spiritual medicine materials in the short term.

If worst comes to worst, he still has the support of his entire family. He can use the resources in the family treasury, and he can also use the strength of the entire family to find what he needs.

So at this moment, Lin Tianming can completely let go and try to refine the pill.

With such confidence, Lin Tianming made a preliminary statistics and planned to refine five fourth-level pills.

These four kinds of elixirs are commonly used by cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, and a total of twenty-six complete spiritual medicine materials can be used.

For this reason, Lin Tianming planned to start by refining elixirs to assist cultivators in their practice.

Because they are all elixirs that assist in cultivation, their basic medicinal strength is similar, they have many similarities, and there are many common points in refining them, so the difficulty is naturally not very great.

This kind of elixir is called Shenyuan Pill. According to the recipe, the effect of this elixir is slightly stronger than Zhenling Pill, so it is slightly more difficult to refine.

Lin Tianming was not afraid of this. Instead, he felt that refining this kind of elixir would be more beneficial to improving his alchemy skills and would be more challenging for him.

With such interest, Lin Tianming quickly took out the pill formula and spent a whole day carefully studying it.

It was not until noon of the second day that Lin Tianming felt that it was almost ready, or at least he had some confidence. He then took out the Sun Flame Furnace, and immediately adjusted its state, while warming up the entire furnace to a temperature suitable for alchemy.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Tianming quickly sorted out four sets of spiritual medicine materials and placed them aside for use.

After preparing many materials, Lin Tianming began to refine from the first step.

The process and details of refining this kind of elixir are similar to those of refining the True Spirit Elixir.

At this point, Lin Tianming saved a lot of time and also saved a lot of energy.

Under his operation, dozens of kinds of spiritual medicine materials were condensed into essence in the Sunfire Furnace and then gathered into a ball of medicinal liquid.

As far as this step is concerned, Lin Tianming felt it was very easy, because extracting the essence was not the most difficult task for any alchemist.

What’s more, he is an alchemist with extraordinary talent like Lin Tianming.

In this way, Lin Tianming quickly completed the first step.

As for the second step, Lin Tianming proceeded cautiously.

However, even so, some errors still occurred during the refining step, which led to the destruction of this furnace of pills and ultimately a waste of precious materials.

For this reason, Lin Tianming felt a little painful, after all, this was a fourth-level pill, and its main ingredient was definitely a fourth-level spiritual medicine.

The value of the fourth-level spiritual medicine in Qingzhou needs no further elaboration.

Even if Lin Tianming was wealthy enough, he would inevitably feel reluctant if he suffered too many losses like this.

But soon, Lin Tianming adjusted his mentality.

Because he knew very well that if he wanted to become a qualified fourth-level alchemist, this step was inevitable.

On the other hand, since he became an alchemist, whether he was at the first level, the higher level third level alchemist, or at his current level, he had not failed many times in refining alchemy.

At the very least, considering the ratio of success, his success rate is already extremely high.

Knowing this, even though he failed in the first attempt, Lin Tianming was not discouraged. Instead, he was full of fighting spirit.

With this mentality, Lin Tianming started trying again.

During the second furnace of alchemy, Lin Tianming lived up to everyone's expectations and refined a Shenyuan Pill.

With such progress and the successful refining of the elixir, Lin Tianming was overjoyed.

Then, Lin Tianming took out the pill and examined it carefully. Only when he confirmed that it was the Shenyuan Pill without a doubt did he feel relieved.

Afterwards, after calming down, Lin Tianming struck while the iron was hot and started the third attempt.

Just like that, as time went by, Lin Tianming entered a period of crazy alchemy.

In the blink of an eye, two and a half years have passed.

On this day, a scent of medicine was emitted and quickly spread in all directions.

At this time, Lin Tianming immediately extended his spiritual sense and carefully checked the alchemy furnace.

Following his line of sight, he saw two crystal clear pills lying in the alchemy furnace.

This pill looks to be about the size of a baby's fist, with a smooth and round surface, and fine lines on the bottom and top. It exudes an enticing aroma all the time, and the smell makes people feel refreshed.

Seeing this thing, Lin Tianming's heart was shocked again, and his excitement was beyond words.

"Haha...it's done..."

"And he made two pills at once..."

Lin Tianming laughed and couldn't help muttering to himself.

This crystal clear pill is the fifth fourth-level pill he has refined in the past two and a half years.

This fifth kind of elixir, whose name is Yaoyuan Pill, is a special elixir that can help Nascent Soul cultivators calm their spirits and nourish their Nascent Soul.

As far as this kind of elixir is concerned, both the materials required for refining and the difficulty of refining are more difficult than any other elixir refined before.

The reason for this is that the effect of this elixir is quite special.

You know, the importance of the Nascent Soul and the Primordial Spirit to any Nascent Soul cultivator needs no further explanation. They are absolutely very important.

For example, if a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage uses the assistance of this kind of elixir after breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, it is very likely that he can consolidate his cultivation level in just a few months.

Moreover, the effect of this consolidation is even better than the effect of self-precipitation.

What is foreseeable now is that in the near future, the Lin family will have many powerful Yuanying stage masters.

At this critical juncture, obtaining this kind of elixir is undoubtedly exciting news.

Because of this kind of elixir, the time the tribe members spend in seclusion practicing can be greatly shortened, which to some extent can also help the cultivators speed up their practice.

In addition, it can also help the cultivator to more safely pass through the period of consolidation of cultivation, allowing the cultivator himself to gain a better foundation.

From this perspective, with the successful refining of this batch of Shenyuan Dan, the Lin family has gained more foundation.

This time, Lin Tianming only had three sets of spiritual medicine materials in total, and in the end, only the last one was successful in refining it.

Fortunately, although this most difficult type of elixir was only successful once, two finished pills were produced at once.

Such a successful pill rate is considered acceptable, and the number of successful pills is an unexpected surprise.

At this point, the twenty-six different kinds of medicinal materials that Lin Tianming had previously prepared have now all been refined.

In terms of pill success rate, Lin Tianming basically maintained a success rate of more than 40%.

As for the number of successful pills, most of them successfully completed one pill, but nearly 30% of them successfully completed more than two pills.

Lin Tianming was satisfied with this result.

Because in his opinion, he was still a beginner-level fourth-rank alchemist.

Through this alchemy feast, Lin Tianming has been able to maintain his success rate of making pills above 40%, and the number of successful pills has also reached the basic level of a fourth-level alchemist.

At this point, it means that Lin Tianming's alchemy skills are no less than those of the alchemists in Qingzhou, and are not much weaker than those in other continents.

It took Lin Tianming less than five years to make the basic leap from a third-level alchemist to a fourth-level alchemist, and to improve his alchemy skills to its current level.

In just five short years, Lin Tianming has achieved such results. How can one not be satisfied?

Even in Lin Tianming's opinion, if such a thing were to reach the ears of other cultivators, they would probably be shocked.

Lin Tianming could think of this.

And in his eyes, this growth rate is indeed not slow, it is even incredibly fast.

In addition to Lin Tianming's own talent, the reason for such progress was also related to his original intention of refining the elixir this time and his fanatical state.

After all, this time the alchemy lasted a very long time, and every time he completed a batch of pills, he had almost no time to rest in between.

In addition, although these pills are all fourth-level varieties, their overall difficulty is only at the entry-level of fourth-level pills.

At the same time, these pills still have many commonalities to some extent.

In other words, if the other effects were very different, it would be extremely difficult to achieve the current step.

It seems that it is precisely under such innate conditions that this crazy way of refining the elixir is the perfect embodiment of doing it in one go.

As for the results and the final harvest, they are indeed satisfying.

Knowing this, Lin Tianming was very happy, and at the same time he admired his own determination and perseverance.

If I hadn't kept my composure and used this free time to diligently and tirelessly refine pills, I would have made the progress I have today. If I had continued my previous practice method, it would have probably taken at least a dozen years.

Even longer time is not impossible.

And now, the Lin family is about to welcome the second Nascent Soul stage expert, and will even welcome the third Nascent Soul stage member in the near future.

During this critical period, Lin Tianming was able to prepare some necessities for the family in advance, which was considered to be giving back to the family in another way, and it also deepened the overall foundation and heritage of the entire Lin family.

After realizing this, Lin Tianming was so excited that he couldn't calm down for a long time.

However, with the help of time, Lin Tianming calmed down.

At the same time, in his heart, he was looking forward to that day coming sooner.

Collecting his thoughts, Lin Tianming quickly put away the Shenyuan Pill and checked it. After making sure there was nothing wrong, he quickly put it into the Qiankun Jade for safekeeping.

After doing all this, Lin Tianming packed up the other treasures and materials, and then shifted his attention.
