Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Especially Zheng Xiao.

He should be the only one among the many non-Zhenyang Sect cultivators who has reached the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Realm.

With such strength, even the always proud Lin Tianming couldn't help but sigh with admiration.

He was very clear about his own capabilities, if it was the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment, he might be able to compete without falling short.

However, even though Foundation Establishment Great Perfection only seemed a small realm above the Ninth Level, and couldn't even be considered a full realm, the gap was still significant.

Anyone who took that step, whether it was during the Qi Refinement Realm or the Foundation Establishment Stage, it meant that their spiritual power had reached the limit within that realm, and there was no possibility for further improvement.

In such a situation, this small realm difference was like the difference between heaven and earth, and crossing over was not easy.

Knowing this, Lin Tianming dared not be too ambitious; he didn't entertain the thought of pushing Zheng Xiao out of the top three. Instead, he set his sights on Deng Guanghua and Yang Tongshun, who were at the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment, as his targets to catch up to.

Hu Yuan felt the same way, and he even considered Lin Tianming as a potential rival; however, that did not affect their cooperation.

After all, Hu Yuan had witnessed Lin Tianming's strength. The two working together would be safer in a big battle and could unleash stronger power, thereby achieving better rewards.

Thinking of this, Hu Yuan had made up his mind. He planned to actively seek out Lin Tianming after the gathering was over to see if they could cooperate further.

Half an hour later.

Everyone ended the gathering, and Tang Liusheng and others said their goodbyes and left Li Xiuyuan's cave residence together.

Seeing Lin Tianming and Hu Yuan getting up to leave, Li Xiuyuan quickly called out to them, seemingly having something to discuss.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming and Hu Yuan stopped in their tracks, looking puzzled, and retook their original seats.

At this time, Li Xiuyuan smiled, took out a pot of Spiritual Tea, and brewed it anew, pouring a cup for each of them.

"Fellow Daoists, this is Second Order Medium Quality White Dew Tea, I normally wouldn't bring this out for just anyone, so you must savor it!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianming immediately became interested.

He was very fond of Spiritual Tea, but Second Order Spiritual Tea was not commonly seen, and one would only have the chance to taste it when entertaining extremely important guests.

"Haha... Daoist Hu, seems like we are in for a treat!"

As soon as Lin Tianming's joking words fell, Hu Yuan's expression showed excitement, and he then spoke up.

"That's right, White Dew Tea is a rare variety. A pot of Spiritual Tea like this has effects comparable to several Fusion Spirit Pills, without any side effects!"

Li Xiuyuan on the side nodded and urged: "Fellow Daoists, don't be shy, please taste it!"

Thereupon, Lin Tianming and Hu Yuan no longer stood on ceremony and each lifted their jade cups to take a sip.

Upon tasting the Spiritual Tea, its refreshing fragrance overwhelmed the senses, with a delightful sweetness amidst the bitterness, and the tea water also contained a gentle energy.

Feeling a hot sensation in his Dantian, Lin Tianming's face gradually turned a flushed red.

This peculiar sensation was extremely profound, with ancient and persistent energy, naturally flowing through the meridians, bringing utmost comfort.

Soon, Lin Tianming calmed down and opened his mouth to offer praise.

"This Spiritual Tea, upon drinking, brings a fragrance that overwhelms the senses, bitterness with a hint of sweetness, and contains a gentle energy—even just a sip refreshes the spirit and saves decades of hard cultivation, truly a rare and commendable tea!"

Hearing Lin Tianming's evaluation, Hu Yuan nodded and also shared his opinion.

"Indeed, indeed... I am also a lover of tea, and this tea is definitely a precious rarity among Second Order Spiritual Teas!"

"Hehe... Since both of you seem so satisfied, feel free to drink more. I only hope you'll do your best to secure a spot on the Demon Hunter Leaderboard in the upcoming battles."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianming and Hu Yuan nodded, understanding Li Xiuyuan's reason for keeping them behind.

Clearly, Li Xiuyuan, to secure a spot, had a hard time contending with other teams on his own, and hence he was pulling them in to join forces.

However, from any perspective, Lin Tianming and his peers saw no reason to refuse. After all, he and Hu Yuan themselves aimed to secure a spot.

Therefore, they must make every effort, in order to score more points in the coming battles.

And their performance would also be linked to Li Xiuyuan's team, helping him to obtain a spot within the Zhenyang Sect.

It could be said their goals were aligned and they were in the same boat.

With this in mind, Lin Tianming responded with a cupped fist: "Daoist Li, rest assured, even without you saying so, we would have tried our best anyway."

"Yes... gathering together, striving for the same goal, there's really no conflict." Hu Yuan echoed.

Li Xiuyuan's expression brightened with excitement, very satisfied with their attitude.

At this moment, Hu Yuan smiled faintly, then spoke of his idea of traveling together with Lin Tianming.

"Daoist Lin, what do you think?"

Lin Tianming pondered for a moment, feigning hesitation, then finally spoke: "I have no objections!"

"However, regarding the spoils of battle, could Daoist Hu let me have the Monster Beast Souls in your possession, as well as those you will acquire later?"

Seeing Lin Tianming agree, Hu Yuan's expression lit up with excitement.

He was curious about why Lin Tianming wanted the Monster Beast Souls, but he didn't outright reject the request nor did he ask for an explanation.

Regaining his composure, Hu Yuan said: "Daoist Lin, I could let you have the Monster Beast Souls."

"However, regarding other spoils of war, I hope you could let me have a larger share. If it's hard to divide, I don't mind taking a slight loss!"
