Chapter 204 Guess In the North District of Qianchuanfang City, outside an exquisite and quiet courtyard.
Lin Tianming and the others stopped for a moment. As a message was sent, the door to the courtyard quickly opened automatically, and the three of them stepped inside.
At this time, Ye Pinghai was sitting in the small courtyard waiting for Lin Tianming to come to the door.
When he saw the three people entering the small courtyard, he stood up politely and greeted Lin Tianming and others.
"Tianming has met Grandpa Hai." Lin Tianming bowed his hands, and Lin Xingping also cupped his hands and saluted Ye Pinghai.
Ye Pinghai waved his hand, then looked at Lin Tianyue and asked: "Haha, I am very happy when three little friends came to visit me. Is this the granddaughter of Brother Shi Gong?"
Hearing this, Lin Tianyue nodded, then bowed and said: "Tianyue has met Senior Ye, and has heard his grandfather and brother mention him many times. He has been in Fangshi for a few days, and he just came to say hello today. I also wish to express my gratitude to Senior. Don’t blame the juniors for being rude.”
"It doesn't matter. I, your grandfather, and your elders are all close friends. The Lin family is even more kind to me, so don't be so polite and call me the same as Tianming from now on." Ye Pinghai said.
"Follow Grandpa Hai's instructions." Lin Tianyue bowed again with a respectful expression.
"Hmm." Ye Pinghai nodded, and then waved his sleeves, and a rather delicate silver-white sword and a jade bottle appeared in his hand.
Ye Pinghai waved the spiritual sword in his hand, and the extremely light sword body quickly turned into afterimages. It was a top-quality spiritual weapon.
"This ice sword was acquired by me in my early years. This sword is also a top-quality sword among the best spiritual weapons. This bottle of Jade Ring Pill is beneficial to your cultivation, so it should be regarded as a meeting gift for me." Ye Pinghai said.
Lin Tianming looked excited when he saw the Ice Sword and the Jade Ring Pill. Judging from the aura, this spiritual weapon was extremely close to the level of a second-level magic weapon. It was extremely light but had strong penetrating power. It was indeed one of the few spiritual weapons. of exquisite products.
The Jade Ring Pill is also a pill that improves cultivation, and its effect is somewhat stronger than that of the Lingyuan Pill. However, the elixir is difficult to find, and only some Jindan forces have a small amount left.
Both items are rare and exquisite. It can be seen that Ye Pinghai is very satisfied with Lin Tianyue, so he is willing to take out these good things.
"Tianyue, Grandpa Hai is willing to give it up, so just accept it."
Hearing Lin Tianming's reminder, Lin Tianyue looked happy and quickly took the Ice Sword and Jade Ring Pill, bowing respectfully and thanking them.
Ye Pinghai nodded, looking very satisfied, and then asked the three of them to sit down and chat.
A few people chatted for a while, and then Ye Pinghai changed the subject and asked with a solemn expression: "Tianming, what is the cultivation level of fellow Taoist Lin Shikang now? If nothing happens, he should be close to the stage of Foundation Establishment Dzogchen. I wonder if we are sure of hitting the Golden Core Stage?"
Ye Pinghai's words made Lin Tianming's heart tighten. The family had always kept Lin Shikang's breakthrough to the ninth level of foundation building a secret, and only the core members of the clan knew about it.
Ye Pinghai really didn't know what he meant by asking directly like this, and what his plans were, but he couldn't refuse directly.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming smiled bitterly and said: "This junior doesn't know the specific cultivation level of Third Grandpa. At your level, every step forward is extremely difficult. As for the golden elixir stage, if there is no heaven-defying treasure, it is out of reach." How can it be so easy to enter this realm?"
After hearing this, Ye Pinghai was silent for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking.
Soon, he came back to his senses and said helplessly: "This is true. Without the heaven-defying treasure, there is almost no hope of reaching the Golden Core stage."
Lin Tianming also nodded, and then said: "I came to visit you today, because the junior will return to the family tomorrow, and the younger sister and uncle will stay in Fang City. I beg Grandpa Hai to take care of him. If there is a chance, I will invite Hai again." Grandpa went to Qingzhu Mountain for a reunion."
After speaking, Ye Pinghai looked as usual, and then said firmly:
"As long as your people don't provoke the Jindan forces, there won't be any danger in Fangshi. Even the Jindan forces will sell me some thin noodles. Just leave with peace of mind."
"Furthermore, maybe in a few years, I plan to go to Qingzhu Mountain to pay a visit to your elders. We will discuss important matters at that time."
Hearing that Ye Pinghai was going to Qingzhu Mountain and had important matters to discuss with Third Grandpa and the others, Lin Tianming couldn't help but speculate.
After thinking hard, with Ye Pinghai's identity and cultivation, he really couldn't think of anything Ye Pinghai needed help from the Lin family.
"Is he planning to hit the Golden Core stage?"
Suddenly, it dawned on Lin Tianming that this was the only possibility. Otherwise, he would have no reason to ask the Lin family for help.
Thinking of this, he looked as normal and did not speak directly about the matter. After all, no one would reveal such a major matter easily.
"Then thank Grandpa Hai for your help in advance. When this junior returns to the family, he will definitely mention this matter to Third Grandpa and the others. We will look forward to Grandpa Hai visiting Qingzhu Mountain at that time." Lin Tianming said.
"It can take as little as five years, or as long as ten years, and I will definitely come to the door in person." Ye Pinghai said excitedly.
Then a few people chatted for half an hour, until it was getting late, they got up to say goodbye and returned to the small courtyard of the cave.
The three of them were sitting in the small courtyard. Lin Tianming took out some pieces of second-order monster leather armor obtained from the swap meeting, handed them to Lin Tianyue, and then said:
"This animal skin is specially prepared for you, brother. I will return to the family tomorrow. In the past three years, you can stay in Fangshi to practice with peace of mind. It is too dangerous outside. Don't leave without permission. You must obey Uncle Xingping at all times. Arrangement, I hope that when you return to the family in three years, you can directly enter the foundation building period."
Hearing Lin Tianming's instructions, Lin Tianyue nodded, took the monster leather armor from him and said: "I know, brother, don't worry. I will definitely obey the arrangements. You should also be careful on the road."
"Well, go practice. We will leave tomorrow morning, so I won't disturb you." Lin Tianming said.
Lin Tianyue nodded, then walked towards the depths of the yard and disappeared into the night.
At this time, Lin Xingping also took out a book and three storage bags, handed them to Lin Tianming and said; "This is the profit of Luoyun Pavilion in the past two years, a total of more than 8 spirit stones, and a group of cherished cultivation materials." There are detailed records in the resources and books, so be careful on the road.”
Lin Tianming took the storage bag and books, scanned his consciousness, identified the items inside, and then said: "Uncle, don't worry, Tianhong will return to the family with me tomorrow. I believe that within a few years, we can try to hit the foundation building stage." , with his talent and age, he has great hope of success, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
"As for Tianyue, the others, and Luoyun Pavilion, they will be left to the clan uncle. If there is anything that cannot be solved, you can go to Senior Ye for help."
"Well, don't worry, I won't see you off when you leave Fangshi tomorrow." Lin Xingping said.
"Okay, clan uncle, take a rest early and go back first at dawn."
After finishing speaking, Lin Tianming bowed with clasped fists, then walked towards his room, and the two of them returned to their rooms.
That night, Lin Tianming did not practice. He went to bed early and prepared to recuperate.
The next morning, the sky was slightly bright.
Lin Tianfeng and others were already ready to go, sitting in the small courtyard waiting for Lin Tianming to come out.
After a while, Lin Tianming came out and greeted several people with a smile. "Everyone seems to be in good spirits!"
Lin Tianfeng laughed, and then said with an excited expression: "No, I haven't returned to the family for three years, not to mention that I really miss the days in Qingzhu Mountain."
"Since everyone is homesick, don't delay, let's go home!"
After speaking, Lin Tianming walked away, followed by Lin Tianfeng and others.
Soon, a group of them left Fangshi in a mighty manner and appeared in a valley more than ten miles outside Tianming released the purple golden eagle from the spirit beast bag, and then several people jumped on the purple golden eagle's back.
Feeling the aura of the purple golden eagle, Lin Tianfeng was so excited that he couldn't help but ask, "Has it broken through the second level?"
"Well...it's been half a year!" Lin Tianming nodded and replied.
Hearing Lin Tianming's affirmative words, the remaining people looked excited. The purple golden eagle broke through, and the family added foundation-building combat power, and it was a flying spiritual bird.
Seeing the excited people, Lin Tianming took out the map, took a look at it, and then gave instructions to the purple golden eagle.
The purple golden eagle understood this and carried everyone into the sky into the clouds a thousand feet high. It flew at full speed and shot towards the south at an extremely fast speed.
A few days later, Lin Tianming and others returned to Qingzhu Mountain successfully.
After entering the mountain gate, Lin Tianming said goodbye to several people, and then rushed towards Lin Shikang's cave.
After a while, he saw Lin Shikang, and Lin Shihua also rushed over after hearing the news.
The three of them were sitting in the small courtyard drinking tea and chatting. Lin Tianming asked, "Is it possible that Grandpa Fifteen is in retreat?"
"Hmm..." Lin Shikang nodded and said with a smile: "When Shilu came out of the secret realm, there were signs of breaking through the seventh level of foundation building. Now that everything is going well, it's time for him to retreat and attack the realm!"
Hearing this, Lin Tianming looked excited. If Lin Shilu breaks through the seventh level of foundation building, and the family adds a monk in the late stage of foundation building, the strength of the entire family will reach another level.
From this point of view, the two monks in the late stage of foundation-building in the family have basically entered the threshold of the top foundation-building family in Wei.
Seeing Lin Tianming's excited expression, Lin Shihua asked about his trip to Fangshi. "Tianming, is your trip to Qianchuanfang City going well?"
Lin Tianming came back to his senses and reported the entire trip to Qianchuan.
At the same time, Lin Tianming took out several storage bags and handed them to Lin Shihua.
After listening to the complete process, Lin Shikang and Lin Shihua nodded. Lin Shihua took the storage bag and looked at it, then showed a satisfied look.
"Tianming, you have worked hard on this trip. From now on, you can stay at home and practice with peace of mind, and strive to break through the fourth level of foundation building as soon as possible." Lin Shikang said.
Lin Tianming nodded and said: "Third Grandpa, don't worry, Tianming won't dare to neglect you when it comes to cultivation!"
"Well... go ahead!" Lin Shikang waved his hand and said.
Lin Tianming was about to get up, then remembered what Ye Pinghai said, and then said: "By the way, Third Grandpa, before I left Fangshi, I took Uncle Xingping and Tianyue to visit Senior Ye!"
Hearing this, Lin Shikang nodded, extremely satisfied with Lin Tianming's handling of things. "You have done a good job. He has helped the family a lot over the years. You should definitely pay him a visit!"
Lin Tianming laughed and started talking about the visit that Ye Pinghai mentioned.
"Senior Ye said that he has been coming back to Qingzhu Mountain to visit you and several elders in the past few years. There will be important matters to discuss. I don't know why, but he didn't mention it!"
"Ye Pinghai asked me about my realm? He also asked me about my confidence in reaching the Golden Core stage, and even wanted to visit Qingzhu Mountain?"
Lin Shikang was a little surprised. Ye Pinghai had not been to Qingzhu Mountain for more than 30 years. With his cultivation and influence, he suddenly came to visit, but he didn't know what the purpose was.
After Lin Tianming thought about it these days, he had an uncertain idea in his mind, but he couldn't get confirmation.
Thinking of this, he immediately said: "Third Grandpa, didn't the golden fruit appear at the auction at this market gathering?"
"In my opinion, with Senior Ye's cultivation and financial resources, I think he has definitely participated in the auction, and may even have obtained the golden fruit!"
"As for his visit, it is probably related to the attack on the Golden Core Stage, and he even sought help from the Lin family!"
Hearing this, Lin Shikang and Lin Shikang did not speak, but began to think carefully about this possibility.
After a while, Lin Shikang nodded, and then said: "This hypothesis is indeed very possible!"
Lin Shihua also spoke at this time: "Third brother, during the Golden Core Stage, all the casual cultivators are sneaking around, looking for a quiet and safe place to retreat and break through. Who would make a big show of it and spread it around!"
"Yes, Third Grandpa!" Lin Tianming agreed: "Although Senior Ye has always been on good terms with our Lin family, and is a close friend of your elders, it is too important to reach the Golden Core stage. Will he explain this to you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Shikang smiled and then expressed his opinion.
"What Tian Ming said does make some sense, but it is too difficult to break into the Golden Core stage, especially in the final three levels of the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation. Many monks can condense the Golden Core, but cannot safely survive the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation. In the end, After the body dies and the Tao disappears, only a very small number of monks survive with the help of treasures and stay in the fake elixir realm!"
"It can be said that these three levels of golden elixir thunder tribulation are the biggest obstacles on the road to the golden elixir!"
"As for Ye Pinghai, a casual cultivator, he cannot break into the Golden Core realm in Fang City. If there is no stable and safe breakthrough location and no one to protect him, it is very dangerous to break through rashly."
"He came to the Lin family for help. With the help of some good defensive weapons, the probability of breaking through the Golden Core stage will be greatly improved!"
"Looking at it this way, he is probably doing this!"
Hearing Lin Shikang talk about this matter, Lin Tianming and Lin Tianming suddenly became enlightened and felt that this matter was indeed very possible.
However, Lin Tianming was still a little confused, and then he asked: "Third Grandpa, Senior Ye has been famous in the entire Wei Kingdom's immortal world for a long time. There are many forces that owe him favors. If he seeks help from other forces, it shouldn't be difficult, right?"
"Yes... wouldn't it be safer to break through if we seek help from the True Yang Sect?" Lin Shihua said.
"Zhenyang Sect?"
Lin Shikang snorted and explained: "Do you think Zhenyang Sect would be so kind?"
"Even if he is willing to help, I'm afraid he will have to pay a huge price, and may even add insult to injury."
After hearing this, Lin Tianming and the two nodded, agreeing very much with what he said. After all, the sect was complex, with people from various positions, and the situation of overt and covert fighting, making it difficult to guarantee certain safety.
Seeing that Lin Tianming and the others were not asking questions, Lin Shikang continued:
"This is all our speculation. If it is really the case, it will be beneficial to us to help. As for whether it is the case, we will find out when he comes to visit!"
"In addition, this matter must not be made public. It only needs a few of us to know about it. Do you understand?"
"understood!"
Lin Tianming nodded in agreement, and after chatting for a few words, they left Lin Shikang's cave together and returned to their own caves.
