Top Luck: Leading the family to cultivate immortality

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Tianlong looked at Lin Tianming seriously, as if he was looking forward to his response.

At this time, when Lin Tianming heard these words, he actually agreed with Zhou Tianlong's statement in his heart.

In his opinion, the situation Zhou Tianlong analyzed was indeed the fact before him.

From his own point of view, joining the Magnolia Sect can not only gain a strong background, but also receive huge resource support.

In addition, the Lin family can indeed rely on the power of the Magnolia Sect to deal with the powerful threat of the Blood Red Alliance.

Including the Lin family's subsequent series of plans, they can use the influence of the Magnolia Sect and even some important channels to complete the family's century-old plan faster.

Based on these circumstances, the conditions given by Zhou Tianlong can indeed be regarded as extremely generous.

But even so, Lin Tianming still couldn't agree.

In his opinion, if he chooses to join the Yulan Sect and become Zhou Tianlong's chief true disciple, the sect may not have much binding force on him.

After all, with his level of cultivation here, his personal strength is second only to Zhou Tianlong and another Nascent Soul stage elder.

More importantly, Zhou Tianlong values ​​his potential. As long as there is a certain opportunity, there will be huge room for growth in the future.

On this basis, his status in the Yulan Sect will not be low.

In this way, even if he becomes a disciple of the Yulan Sect and advances and retreats with the Yulan Sect, most of the time, he will not be subject to any restrictions.

Unless the Magnolia Sect encounters a life-and-death crisis, under normal circumstances, judging from the overall strength and profound foundation of the Magnolia Sect, there is no need for Lin Tianming to come forward.

From this point of view, if it were an ordinary monk, facing Zhou Tianlong's generous conditions, choosing to join the powerful Magnolia Sect would be a very good choice.

But in reality, Lin Tianming followed his Taoist heart and would never make such a choice.

In addition, the current Lin family needs him, and the closest relatives cannot do without him.

After thinking about this, Lin Tianming had already made a decision in his heart, and he still made a choice without any hesitation.

Under such circumstances, Lin Tianming mustered up his courage and said solemnly: "Thank you, Senior Zhou, for thinking so highly of this junior!"

"And the kindness of the predecessor Zhou, the junior was ashamed."

"As for the invitation from the senior, the junior really cannot accept it."

"But don't worry, Senior Zhou. Regardless of whether the senior is willing to help refine the Buddha's Heart Pill, the junior will not have any complaints."

"At the same time, the junior and the Yulan Sect, and even the entire Lin family and the Yulan Sect, will never become enemies."

"Even when facing the crisis of the Blood Red Alliance, our Lin family will definitely stand firmly on the side of the Magnolia Sect."

"This junior can guarantee this by swearing on his inner demon!"

Having said this, Lin Tianming bowed respectfully to Zhou Tianlong. His face looked extremely solemn, his tone sounded extremely firm, and at the same time, there was a look of determination in his eyes.

At this time, after hearing Lin Tianming's words, Zhou Tianlong did not answer immediately, but sighed helplessly.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Tianlong's expression changed slightly, and he didn't know how he considered Lin Tianming's response.

In fact, Zhou Tianlong felt a little pity in his heart at this time.

After all, he really valued Lin Tianming very much in his heart, so he lowered himself to receive Lin Tianming personally.

In addition, he is a top monk in the middle stage of Yuanying, the only fourth-level alchemist in Qingzhou, and the actual controller of the largest Yuanying force in Qingzhou.

With such a multi-level identity, he would also promise extremely generous conditions in order to recruit a talented monk.

At the same time, he still broke many rules with these conditions.

And by doing this, he just wanted to find a successor for himself, and at the same time find a strong backer for the Magnolia Sect hundreds of years later.

Whether he is public or private, no matter what angle he looks at, he has done his best for these purposes.

However, even so, under the benefits and conditions he promised, Lin Tianming's Taoist heart was extremely firm and was not swayed by its temptation at all.

Regarding such a result, Zhou Tianlong actually did not expect it to be so straightforward.

But the reality is already in front of him, and whether he wants it or not, he has to accept this result.

As for how to view Lin Tianming and the Lin family behind him, Zhou Tianlong would not feel resentment just because he was rejected.

The reason for this is also because Zhou Tianlong himself is a righteous monk. Although his own character is not very warm-hearted, at least he is not a sinister person who does all evil.

In addition, he, a monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, would not get angry at the other party just for this matter.

What's more, Lin Tianming's cultivation strength is here, and his growth potential is well known to everyone in Qingzhou.

Facing such a talented monk, even a top powerhouse like Zhou Tianlong, sometimes has to be cautious.

Especially from the standpoint of the Magnolia Sect, it is not a very wise thing to offend a talented monk like Lin Tianming.

Because of this, Zhou Tianlong struggled for a moment and finally accepted the reality.

And in this way, since Lin Tianming rejected his kindness, from his personal standpoint, he still has to continue to fight for the interests he should fight for.

After thinking about this, Zhou Tianlong sighed slightly and then waved his hand, motioning for Lin Tianming to sit down.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Tianlong said solemnly: "Since Xiaoyou Lin has already thought about the outcome and his attitude is firm enough, I will not persuade you any more."

"And if you refuse to be entrusted with alchemy because Lin Xiaoyou rejected me, it would seem that I am a bit stingy."

"In this case, I would like to take over the refining of the Buddha's Heart Pill."

Hearing this, Lin Tianming's face was a little happy, and his breathing began to become a little rapid.

At this moment, when he heard Zhou Tianlong's affirmative reply, and his attitude obviously did not mean to blame, Lin Tianming's hanging heart was officially relieved.

At this moment, before Lin Tianming could respond, Zhou Tianlong continued to smile and said: "But... in addition to the normal benefits of refining the elixir, does it seem fair that Xiaoyou Lin also has to pay something?" ?”

After saying this, Zhou Tianlong looked at Lin Tianming with a half-smile, and the expression on his face looked a little funny.

In response, Lin Tianming also gave a helpless smile.

In his heart, he thought about Zhou Tianlong's statement for a moment.

From Zhou Tianlong's point of view, it would be a bit unjustifiable if the dignified fourth-level alchemist helped to refine the pills. If the profit was only the extra pills besides one pill.

On this point, as a third-level alchemist, he himself is very clear.

Understanding this, Lin Tianming was embarrassed to take advantage of Zhou Tianlong, let alone take advantage of the other party.

After all, he had already asked for help from the other party, and the Lin family also needed to rely on the Magnolia Sect to contribute to the crisis in the Blood-Red Alliance. In addition, if the Lin family wants to establish a foothold in the ten countries in the center of Qingzhou, they also need to rely on the power of the Magnolia Sect to complete the shift of the family's focus in the shortest possible time.

Because of these factors, he really had no reason to cheat.

Knowing this, Lin Tianming thought for a moment and then quickly spoke again.

At this time, Lin Tianming asked tentatively: "Senior Zhou, feel free to ask if you have any requests."

"As long as I can do it, or the Lin family can do it, I will definitely do my best to satisfy Senior Zhou."

After saying this, Lin Tianming looked at Zhou Tianlong across from him, and at the same time patiently waited for the other party's response.

At this moment, Zhou Tianlong also thought for a moment.

After a long time, Zhou Tianlong immediately responded: "That's all... Bargaining with a junior like you is really detrimental to my face."

"According to my wishes, Xiaoyou Lin might as well make a bet with me, how about it be considered fun?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Tianlong looked at Lin Tianming with a smile, his eyes full of expectation.

When Lin Tianming heard these words, he instantly became interested.

In his eyes, being able to make a bet with a top powerhouse like Zhou Tianlong seemed to be an opportunity to deepen the relationship between the two parties.

In addition, the reason why Zhou Tianlong did this may have another deeper meaning, that is, Zhou Tianlong took the initiative to give him a chance, just to let himself have a chance to step down.

After all, a strong person in the Nascent Soul stage wants to save face, not to mention Zhou Tianlong, who is known as the strongest person in Qingzhou.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianming was excited and quickly asked.

"Senior Zhou wants how to bet, you might as well talk about specific details."

After hearing this, looking at Lin Tianming's can't wait, Zhou Tianlong couldn't help but smile.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Tianlong said: "According to what I thought, either Lin Xiaoyou once again brought out three pieces of fourth-level elixir materials as extra rewards for refining the Buddha's Heart Pill, and I will accept it. It’s about this.”

"Either in this alchemist competition, if Lin Xiaoyou can win the leader of the puzzle."

"Then I don't need this extra reward. How about treating it as a separate reward for you?"

After that, Zhou Tianlong looked at Lin Tianming again, and its meaning was very obvious.

At this time, after hearing such an explanation, Lin Tianming suddenly became happy.

In his opinion, as he thought, Zhou Tianlong's deep intention of gambling was just to give himself a step down.

In addition, Zhou Tianlong must have done this intentionally to help him, so that he would owe him a favor.

Because in Zhou Tianlong's eyes, Lin Tianming's growth potential is so great that it is completely worthy of the face he sells to the other party, and it is even more worthy of him making a long-term investment.

And in the follow-up, when Lin Tianming really enters the Nascent Soul stage, it will not be easy to make him owe favors.

More importantly, Zhou Tianlong's current investment may play a key role when the Magnolia Sect encounters a major crisis in the future.

If this is the case, the favor he has received by helping to refine the elixir now is a matter related to the fate of the Magnolia Sect.

In fact, Zhou Tianlong, as an old monster who has lived for more than two thousand years, does think so in his heart.

Therefore, while taking into account his own face, Zhou Tianlong also deliberately gave Lin Tianming a chance, and at the same time, he also wanted to add insurance to the fate of the Yulan Sect.

It was with this purpose that Zhou Tianlong said these words.

At this moment, Lin Tianming, a thoughtful person, did realize this.

In this way, after Zhou Tianlong's conditions were stated, Lin Tianming did not hesitate at all and directly agreed to Zhou Tianlong's gambling conditions.

At that time, Lin Tianming's decisive reaction was as if he was afraid that Zhou Tianlong would regret it.

However, this kind of response made Zhou Tianlong extremely satisfied.

At the same time, based on this contact, his inner evaluation of Lin Tianming has also improved a bit on the original basis.

In his opinion, Lin Tianming not only possesses a certain level of cultivation strength, but also his potential for growth goes without saying.

In addition, Lin Tianming is thoughtful, calm enough in dealing with people, and at the same time very decisive.

Such a person can be said to be a good prospect who has both natural strength, talent and intelligence.

It was this that once again made Zhou Tianlong feel that he had not misjudged the person.

At the same time, it also made Zhou Tianlong feel confident enough about his choice again.

On this basis, the conditions for the bet between Zhou Tianlong and Lin Tianming were officially established.

Next, the two discussed the details of the bet, and finally finalized the matter.

According to the wishes of both parties, the specific process of refining the Buddha's Heart Pill will be left after the alchemist conference.

At that time, Lin Tianming handed over the main materials of the Buddha Heart Pill and various auxiliary materials to Zhou Tianlong one by one.

At that time, Lin Tianming only needs to stay in the Yulan Sect for a while. After the alchemy is completed, the two parties will determine the final exchange of interests based on the results of the alchemist competition.

At this moment, there are only a few months left before the Alchemist Conference begins.

During this period, Lin Tianming can also stay in the Yulan Sect to make some preparations for the Alchemist Conference.

For this reason, Lin Tianming was extremely satisfied with Zhou Tianlong's arrangement.

On the other hand, Zhou Tianlong was also quite satisfied with the result.

On this basis, Zhou Tianlong was in a good mood, and he was increasingly looking forward to Lin Tianming, a talented person.

As a result, in an easy-going atmosphere, Lin Tianming's visit came to an end.

After this matter was arranged, Lin Tianming's anxious heart finally relaxed.

Next, Lin Tianming and Zhou Tianlong chatted for a while, during which some compliments and tests made Zhou Tianlong even more happy.

It was not until less than a quarter of an hour later that Lin Tianming proposed to resign.

Immediately afterwards, under the watch of Zhou Tianlong, Lin Tianming left his cave and returned to his temporary cave.
