Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Feeling the surging power throughout his body, Tianming thought that defeating a Second Order Late-Stage Demon Beast with his bare hands shouldn't be too difficult, just relying on his physical strength alone.

Overall, half a year wasn't a long period of time, but the results of his seclusion were still very satisfying to him.

Now, with just a little over a year left before the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm commenced, he still had time to consolidate his cultivation base.

However, just when he planned to continue his seclusion, he received a transmission from Lin Shilu, informing him that his magic artifact had been refined.

Therefore, this exhilarating news disrupted his cultivation plans, and he had no choice but to leave his seclusion.

Upon leaving the training room, Qin Xi was still in seclusion, showing no signs of emerging.

Lin Tianming did not disturb her and hurried out of his cave dwelling, making his way directly to Lin Shilu's abode.

In no time at all, Lin Tianming arrived at Lin Shilu's Artifact Forging Room and saw him there.

At this moment, Lin Shilu sat on a cushion, his robe tattered and his complexion somewhat pale, looking utterly worn and haggard.

It was clear that he was severely drained, both physically and mentally, as well as in terms of spiritual power, due to high-intensity artifact refining.

This was so because time was pressing, and he had to refine magic artifacts for Lin Shikang and Lin Tianming in the shortest time possible, hence the hard work.

Knowing this, Lin Tianming, upon seeing Lin Shilu's current state, felt deeply moved and a look of concern appeared on his face.

Seeing his expression, Lin Shilu offered a knowing smile, trying to put on a comforting facade.

Immediately afterward, he waved his sleeve and took out three magic artifacts, laying them in front of them.

Upon closer inspection, these three artifacts were precisely the Earth Evil Sword, Tiangang Sword, and the defensively-geared Green Scale Shield that he had often used in combats.

The difference was, with Lin Shilu's re-refinement, the once First Order Supreme Quality fifty-six Earth Evil Swords had all been upgraded to Second Order Low Quality.

Moreover, the number of Earth Evil Swords had increased, reaching a total of seventy-two.

he Tiangang Sword had also significantly improved in might. Although it was still of Second Order Medium Quality and had not been upgraded in grade, its current quality was definitely among the top in all of the Second Order Medium Quality magic artifacts he had ever seen.

With such upgrades, it was foreseeable that the attack power of the Tiangang Sword would be even more formidable than before.

As for the Green Scale Shield, it had been fully repaired and its grade had been elevated to Second Order Medium Quality.

The defense of the previous Green Scale Shield was already impressive, and it had accompanied him through numerous battles. In the battle of the Xu Haiqiao incident, it had almost been destroyed.

It was unexpected that after Lin Shilu's re-refinement and repair, it had improved so much.

At this moment, seeing these familiar artifacts once again, Lin Tianming's face lit up with joy, and he exclaimed with a smile, "Fifteenth Grandfather, your efficiency is astonishingly fast!"

"It's only been half a year, and you've managed to re-refine these treasures and even improved them, it's truly incredible!"

Hearing Lin Tianming's words of praise, Lin Shilu waved his hand and responded, "Hehe... the reason for the swiftness mainly lies in the fact that these three magic artifacts are all my own creations."

"Moreover, when I originally forged them, I anticipated this day would come and deliberately left a lot of room for improvement."

"Additionally, my familiarity with these magic artifacts is probably not much less than yours."

"That's why I could achieve this level of efficiency within half a year!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianming nodded, finding this explanation quite convincing.

In the Cultivation World, it was definitely easier for Artifact Refiners to re-refine and upgrade artifacts that they had created themselves.

If it was an magic artifact refined by someone else, the difficulty of repairing or enhancing it by a different Artifact Refiner would be almost as much as forging a new one from scratch.

And since his own artifact was created by Lin Shilu, re-refining it would naturally be much easier.

In such circumstances, it was possible to complete this challenging task in a mere half year.

Nevertheless, Lin Shilu appeared utterly exhausted, having pushed himself so hard, clearly for Tianming's upcoming venture into the Secret Realm.

Only a few devoted family elders would go to such lengths under these conditions.

Considering all this, Tianming felt deeply touched and immensely grateful.

"You better have a look, boy, and see how the re-refinement turned out," said Lin Shilu, breaking Tianming's train of thought.

At this moment, Lin Tianming regained his composure and grabbed the Earth Evil Sword to begin examining it.

After a quarter of an hour had passed, Lin Tianming was filled with joy, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"How is it? Are you satisfied?" Lin Shilu asked.

"Fifteenth Grandfather, to achieve such a great improvement in such a short time, I am naturally extremely satisfied!"

After his response, Lin Tianming fondly picked up the Tiangang Sword and played with it.

Hearing these words and seeing Lin Tianming's sincere expression, Lin Shilu laughed heartily, "As long as you're satisfied!"

"You must know, for the enhancement of these magic artifacts, I added quite a few precious materials, including several third-order materials."

"Heh heh... Having invested so much, as for the results, they have indeed met my expectations!"

Lin Shilu said proudly, his rough palm gently caressing the Tiangang Sword, satisfaction also showing on his face.

Hearing this series of remarks, Lin Tianming nodded his head and then complimented, "Fifteenth Grandfather is truly a master of Artifact Refining!"

"Stop flattering me!"

Lin Shilu put on a serious face and interrupted Lin Tianming's speech.

As soon as his words ended, his complexion turned pale, and he nearly fainted.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming knew it was due to a great depletion of spiritual power and Divine Sense; the man looked utterly exhausted.

At that moment, Lin Tianming supported Lin Shilu, advising him,

"The health of Fifteenth Grandfather is of utmost importance. You should rest and recuperate for half a month before considering resuming your work at the peak condition. There's no rush to continue refining!"

Feeling the concern in these words, Lin Shilu felt a warm current surge through him, and his pallor improved slightly.

"Mmm!"

Looking at Lin Tianming, he nodded, offering a look of reassurance.

Immediately after, he said, "The depletion this time was indeed not small!"

"After I rest for a while, I'll need to resume Artifact Refining. By the time you leave the clan and embark on your journey to the Secret Realm, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave my retreat to see you off."

"That being the case, I won't keep you any longer!"

Lin Shilu gestured for Lin Tianming to leave while giving him some long and serious advice.

"You, young man, are already stronger than I am and have gone through many life-and-death crises. You're very clear about the dangers of the outside world."

"I won't say too much more, just remember to be careful out there, act according to your capabilities, and if some opportunities are missed, then they are missed. As long as you're alive, it's more important than anything!"

"Don't worry, Fifteenth Grandfather, I will definitely return safely!"

Hearing Lin Shilu's teachings, Lin Tianming replied earnestly, a confident smile flashing across his face.

Seeing this, Lin Shilu nodded. He was very concerned about this junior of his and had great confidence in him.

After all, he had seen Lin Tianming's combat abilities, experience in survival, and the entirety of his growth process firsthand.

One could say that Lin Tianming had surpassed him, his elder, in every aspect.

Gathering his composure, Lin Shilu waved goodbye, watching Lin Tianming leave the Artifact Forging Room with his magic artifacts.

After leaving Lin Shilu's cavern abode, Lin Tianming paid his respects to his mother and grandfather before returning straight back to his own dwelling.

Sitting in the training room, Lin Tianming placed the three magic artifacts in front of him.

Looking at the greatly enhanced magic artifacts, Lin Tianming was excited and decided to first refine them, then leave two months to find an open space behind the mountain to hone his skills.

Making up his mind, he immediately stowed away the Tiangang Sword and Green Scale Shield, ready to start with the seventy-two Earth Evil Swords.

With a single wave of his hand, all the Earth Evil Swords flew up and began to revolve around him.

Next, he formed a Law Decree with his hand, and streams of Spiritual Light bombarded the Earth Evil Swords.

Soon, Spiritual Light frequently appeared in the training room, accompanied by sharp sounds echoing throughout.
