Chapter 562 Heyuan Fruit Tree At this time, Lin Tianming also noticed something strange about Tang Xiuping.
Therefore, Lin Tianming said bluntly: "Fellow Taoist Tang looks strange. I wonder what he is hiding?"
"If it's convenient, Fellow Taoist Tang might as well speak up and listen!"
"And my family, including me, have cooperated with the Tianlong Pavilion under the nobles many times, and have also received favors from the Tianlong Pavilion during this period."
"As long as I can help, and within my ability, I will never refuse."
After hearing this, Tang Xiuping's expression remained as usual, and he was also thinking about whether to mention the matter in his mind.
After a long time and some mental struggle, he made a decision.
So, Tang Xiuping waved his hand and released a soundproof ban with one hand.
After doing this, Tang Xiuping looked much better and his expression softened a lot.
When Lin Tianming saw this scene, he thought that what Tang Xiuping said must be something serious.
Otherwise, given Tang Xiuping's status, he would definitely not be so cautious.
Lin Tianming looked at Tang Xiuping with an expectant look, waiting for the other party's explanation.
At this time, Tang Xiuping also looked at Lin Tianming and saw that he looked calm and did not look like he was faking.
Therefore, Tang Xiuping solemnly said: "Senior Lin, I would like to ask you this, how is your current cultivation strength? Have you ever reached the middle stage of Golden Core?"
Tang Xiuping asked these two questions one after another, which were relatively sensitive questions for monks.
However, for such a question, he obviously trusts Lin Tianming and is not afraid that Lin Tianming will blame him for his reckless behavior.
Lin Tianming didn't care, and he didn't intend to hide anything from Tang Xiuping.
At this point, Lin Tianming smiled and replied: "Fellow Taoist Tang, I won't mention your cultivation level!"
"In short, if you encounter one or two ordinary middle-stage Jindan monks, we can still be somewhat sure of winning."
After hearing this, Tang Xiuping suddenly became excited.
In his heart, although he had long heard that Lin Tianming was extremely talented, and when he was in the early stage of the Golden Core, he was able to rival the monks in the middle stage of the Golden Core.
He was quite impressed by such a strong personal combat power, and he had continued to pay attention to all Lin Tianming's information.
Now I heard Lin Tianming say this, although it didn't sound like he directly stated his cultivation level.
But Lin Tianming's calm words were so confident, which also showed that he had most likely entered the middle stage of the golden elixir.
Otherwise, Lin Tianming would not boast about this Haikou.
When he thought of this, Tang Xiuping was very excited and he breathed a sigh of relief.
After finally calming down, Tang Xiuping no longer held back.
As he let out a long sigh, he said directly: "Senior Lin, I got a piece of news by chance a while ago. It is said that a Heyuan fruit tree is suspected to have appeared deep in the Jinwu Mountains."
"Heyuanguo?"
Lin Tianming looked confused, feeling a little unfamiliar with this name.
But he was also thinking about the specific news about the Heyuan Fruit.
Soon, after carefully recalling the classics and materials he had read, he remembered the origin of the Heyuan Fruit.
It turns out that the Heyuan Fruit is also one of the third-level spiritual fruits that assists in forming pills. Its effect is the same as that of the Creation Fruit that he once took and the three Jiuli Star Fruits from Jie Hu Jinjian Sect. It can increase the result by several percent. Dan probability.
Not only that, the habits of the Heyuan fruit are similar to those of the Creation fruit. As long as they are ripe, the Heyuan tree usually has three ripe fruits.
If Tang Xiuping told this news, if it was true, he obviously coveted the Heyuan Fruit and the Heyuan Fruit tree itself.
In fact, he didn't think it was strange after thinking about it.
After all, Tang Xiuping's cultivation level was at the stage of Foundation-Building Dzogchen for the time being.
With his current cultivation strength, he definitely wants to obtain the elixir-forming spiritual object to reach the golden elixir stage.
Therefore, it is only normal for him to do this.
Looking at himself, even though Tang Xiuping came from the Tang family, one of the great powers in Qingzhou, the Tang family has a larger clan base and many talented children.
The resources of the Tang family are also limited, especially treasures such as pill-forming spiritual objects.
Therefore, the Tang family's elixir-forming spiritual objects will definitely be given priority to those tribesmen with higher talent potential or those who have made greater contributions to the family.
Tang Xiuping and his old friend Tang Xiuyuan can only be regarded as ordinary members of the Tang family.
Perhaps the two of them have pretty good talents, but they are far from the level where the Tang family unconditionally supports pill-forming spiritual objects.
In this way, if Tang Xiuping had his own way, he would not place his hopes of forming a pill solely on the fiercely competitive Tang family.
Now that Tang Xiuping had discovered the news about the Heyuan Fruit Tree, he definitely wanted to give it a try.
However, Lin Tianming thought about it and felt a little doubtful in his heart.
After all, the strength of the Tang family goes without saying, and as a member of the Tang family, he can report the news about the Heyuan fruit tree to the family and ask the Golden Core monks within the Tang family for help.
If the situation is true, one Heyuan Fruit Tree, plus the contribution of three Heyuan Fruits, is enough for him to obtain one Heyuan Fruit, and there will also be other generous rewards.
And he obviously didn't intend to report it, otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned it to him.
Knowing this, Lin Tianming asked seriously: "Fellow Taoist Tang, I wonder if the news about your Heyuan Fruit Tree is true?"
"If it is true, you can ask the family for help. I believe the reward you will get will be even bigger."
As soon as Lin Tianming said this, he looked at Tang Xiuping with a serious face, and his sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate into Tang Xiuping's inner thoughts.
At this time, Tang Xiuping couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Lin Tianming's expression.
Then, Tang Xiuping sighed slightly and started to explain.
"Senior Lin, this junior has personally investigated the location of the Heyuan Fruit Tree."
"At that time, there was a mid-level third-level monster guarding me. I used some methods to paralyze the monster for a short time, and then lurked in. I only saw it from a distance at the time. It should be real, and it was about to happen. Mature.”
"As for what Senior Lin is wondering about, why didn't I ask the family for help? It's not like I haven't considered it."
"In fact, this junior planned this from the beginning!"
"However, this Heyuan Fruit is about to mature, and it may be exposed at any time. It cannot wait for the support of the family elders."
"In this case, I would like to ask Senior Lin for help to help me get the Heyuan Fruit Tree."
After Tang Xiuping said this, he stared at Lin Tianming, as if he was looking forward to his answer.
At this moment, Lin Tianming was also weighing in his mind how credible Tang Xiuping's situation was.
In his heart, the Heyuan Fruit mentioned by Tang Xiuping was about to mature, and there was really no way to waste time on this.
Under such circumstances, it was reasonable to say that Tang Xiuping had no choice but to ask for help without his family sending help.
It's just that he and Lin Tianming have never met, and there is no personal relationship at all.
Although the Lin family has indeed cooperated closely with Tianlong Pavilion over the for asking for help, Tang Xiuping could still seek help from other Jindan monks in the Golden Crow country.
After all, given Tang Xiuping's status and background, it must not be difficult as long as he pays a certain price.
Thinking of this, Tang Xiuping's sudden request seemed a bit far-fetched.
So, Lin Tianming opened his mouth to talk about his views, and he did not shy away from raising his questions.
At this time, Tang Xiuping was obviously well prepared. He opened his mouth to explain: "To be honest with Senior Lin, this junior did ask Senior Su from the Golden Crow Kingdom for help before this."
"However, Senior Su Shizi opened his mouth and his attitude was very tough. He once said that he must get a Heyuan Fruit and a Heyuan Fruit Tree before he would help."
"The Heyuan fruit tree is a treasure that enhances a family's heritage. No matter who helps, our Tang family will never give it up."
Speaking of this, Tang Xiuping had a serious expression on his face, clearly showing no intention of compromise.
However, after Lin Tianming heard this explanation and looked at Tang Xiuping's expression, he no longer doubted his motives.
Therefore, Lin Tianming said bluntly: "If you want to take action, it's not impossible."
"But, the mid-level third-level monsters are not easy to deal with. I wonder what price Fellow Daoist Tang can pay?"
After hearing Lin Tianming's words, he seemed to be relenting, and Tang Xiuping suddenly became excited.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Xiuping said: "Senior Lin also knows that our Tang family must never give up on the Heyuan Fruit Tree."
"But junior Heyuan Guo only wants one, and the remaining two will be handed over to senior Lin. I wonder if you are satisfied with such a price?"
Hearing this, Lin Tianming looked at Qin Xi, who had been silent beside him, as if asking for her opinion.
Soon, Qin Xi nodded slightly. Although he didn't say much, he definitely followed Lin Tianming's decision.
In Lin Tianming's heart, he actually had an idea already.
In his opinion, even if he could only get one Heyuan Fruit, it was completely worth his while.
He knew very well that the Lin family was still in short supply of pill-forming spiritual items.
Therefore, there is currently only one Nine Glass Star Fruit left in the family, and there are already more than ten late-stage foundation-building monks in the family.
Among them, his father and Lin Tianyue, when he left the family, were already at the level of Foundation Establishment Dzogchen and Foundation Establishment Ninth Level.
In addition to these close relatives, several close clan members such as Lin Xingping, Lin Xingzhi, Lin Tianhong, and Lin Tianqin have also reached the eighth level of foundation building or above.
It can be said that in the next 50 years, the Lin family will have many talented members who will successively reach the conditions to reach the Golden Core stage.
But there are many seeds in the pill-formation stage, but only relying on the family's only nine-glass star fruit can be said to be a drop in the bucket.
And it will take many years for the creation fruit tree he obtained in his early years to mature again.
During this period, the family cannot afford to wait so many years.
On the contrary, this time he came out to practice and find the elixir-forming spiritual objects for his family, which was also one of his main purposes.
Since he has an opportunity now, he will not give up easily.
What's more, Tang Xiuping was an honest person, and he was rewarded with two Yuan Fruits as soon as he opened his mouth.
Such conditions are already worth it in his opinion.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming made an embarrassed expression.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Tianming said: "Fellow Taoist Tang, it is not impossible for me to take action."
"But I have agreed that when things are done, one of the Heyuan Fruits and the Heyuan Fruit Tree will belong to you, and the other two Heyuan Fruits will belong to me."
"Other than that, the body of the third-level monster, including all the treasures in its lair, belongs to me."
"If fellow Taoist Tang agrees, how about this matter be settled like this?"
After saying this, Lin Tianming stared at Tang Xiuping, waiting for his answer.
Tang Xiuping was quite happy. The moment Lin Tianming finished speaking, he nodded and agreed with him.
"Haha... this matter has been settled according to what Senior Lin said!"
At this moment, Tang Xiuping was extremely excited, with a satisfied smile on his face.
At this time, Lin Tianming continued to ask: "Now that we have reached a consensus, when will we leave next?"
After hearing this, Tang Xiuping replied directly: "Senior Lin, it should take more than half a year for the Heyuan Fruit to fully mature."
"Therefore, as soon as the auction is over in two months, let's set off together immediately. How about Senior Lin waiting for my summons?"
Obviously, Tang Xiuping did not intend to reveal more, but only mentioned a time for the two to meet.
As for the specific destination and the final route, it depends on Tang Xiuping to lead the way.
However, this arrangement was also within Lin Tianming's expectation.
After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and it is necessary to be on guard against them.
Tang Xiuping was just a monk in the Foundation Establishment stage. If Lin Tianming had any malicious intentions, Tang Xiuping would have no power to resist in front of a strong man like him in the Golden Core stage.
Fortunately, Tang Xiuyuan was backed by the Tang family in Qingzhou and had a strong enough background, so he could negotiate terms with a Golden Core monk at the foundation-building Dzogchen realm.
Otherwise, for any ordinary monk without a strong background, even a little bit of news like the Heyuan Fruit Tree would be tantamount to seeking death.
Understanding, Lin Tianming nodded indifferently.
"Well... I will just wait for the summons from fellow Taoist Tang, and then we will find a place to gather."
"Okay...okay...it's settled!"
"Haha... With Senior Lin personally taking action, this trip to collect the treasure will definitely be successful!"
Tang Xiuping complimented excitedly. He couldn't hide the smile on his face. He was obviously extremely excited.
Lin Tianming didn't care about this and just waved his hand politely.
Afterwards, Lin Tianming and Tang Xiuping chatted for a few words and then expressed their farewell.
With the Heyuanguo matter reached an agreement, Tang Xiuping's goal was achieved, and his heart was completely relaxed.
In this case, there was no need to retain Lin Tianming.
Therefore, Tang Xiuping personally sent Lin Tianming and his wife out of Tianlong Pavilion. Only when they disappeared into the crowd did he return to Tianlong Pavilion with satisfaction.
Lin Tianming and his wife left Tianlong Pavilion and then wandered around the city for a while.
After a while, they rented a small courtyard as a temporary cave, planning to spend the two months waiting for the auction.
Once this matter is over, it's time for them to fulfill their agreement and embark on the journey to collect the Heyuan Fruit.
