Top Luck: Leading the family to cultivate immortality

Chapter 95 Family Fire (Two in One)

Luoyunfang City, inside Baibao Building.

Lin Xingzhi and Lin Tianming were sitting on the Grand Master's chair drinking tea and chatting.

"At dawn, the day for the city competition is approaching. The family has already decided on the candidates. You will lead the team to participate in the competition, and Tianfeng and your uncle Xingyu will be with you."

"Tianfeng also participates?"

Lin Tianming was a little surprised. It seemed that the family's situation was not optimistic.

The importance of the Fangshi Competition is self-evident. The Tianzi generation clan members are still young, and the higher cultivation among the Xingzi generation clan members have already passed the age limit. If it is held in another ten years, the Tianzi generation clan members will grow up. If there are some, the Lin family will be more confident.

It's a pity that things went counterproductive, and the Lin family happened to be stuck in a period of drought.

As for him participating in the competition, Lin Tianming was not surprised.

When he returned to the family half a year ago, his grandfather had already revealed that he had a high probability of participating, so he had been prepared very early.

"Uncle Seventeen, I'm ready!"

Lin Xingzhi nodded. Although the cultivation level of the Lin family members in this competition was not very high, and only Lin Tianming was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, he still had great confidence in Lin Tianming.

"Well, you probably don't know the rules of the competition yet. Let me say them again to prepare you mentally."

Lin Xingzhi explained the rules completely and introduced them in quite detail.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Lin Tianming nodded, confirming that he understood the rules.

Lin Xingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, then took out a Jade Spirit Fruit and handed it to Lin Tianming.

"This Jade Spirit Fruit is provided to you three by the family. Try to improve your strength. When the competition is over, there will be generous rewards!"

Lin Tianming took the Jade Spirit Fruit and said:
"Uncle Seventeen, don't worry, we will definitely win the first place in the competition!"

Seeing Lin Tianming full of pride, Lin Xingzhi was very pleased and couldn't help but praise:
"Okay! You are indeed a good man of our Lin family. I believe you can do it!"

"Tianming, time is running out, there is only half a year left, you go to retreat and practice, and try to improve your cultivation as much as possible!"

"Yes!"

Lin Tianming agreed wholeheartedly, clasped his fists and saluted before leaving.

Half a quarter of an hour later, he returned to the small courtyard and immediately entered the secret room.

There are still half a year before the Fang City Competition. With this Jade Spirit Fruit, you can practice again and improve your cultivation as much as possible.

After making up his mind, he immediately entered the state of cultivation.

……

Four months passed in a hurry, and the five major families in the Luoyun Mountains were extremely peaceful. The unprecedented harmony actually lasted for nearly two years, which was simply unexpected.

……

In the northern part of Luoyunfang City, in a valley filled with thick fog, seven monks came with swords and landed on a hilltop.

Standing on the top of the mountain, overlooking the entire valley, a small river several feet wide flows meandering eastward. There is a large sea of ​​bamboo in the mountains. The scenery is beautiful, with a hint of Qingzhu Mountain.

Lin Xingrong took out a map made of animal skin, looked at the entire valley repeatedly, and then compared it carefully.

After careful comparison, it is certain that this place is the location mentioned by Lin Shikang.

The valley here was discovered by Lin Shikang during his training many years ago. It is extremely hidden and has reached the edge of the Luoyun Mountains. Five hundred miles further north, it reaches the edge of the Fenglin Mountains.

The location here is complicated, and it is on the edge of the Jin family's influence. Because it is close to the Maple Mountains, it is less than two thousand miles away from Qianchuanfang City. If Lin Xingrong goes all out, he can reach Qianchuanfang City in a few days.

After confirming that the location was correct, Lin Xingrong used his consciousness to search the valley.

Half a quarter of an hour later, no abnormality was found in the valley, so he took the lead and walked into the valley, followed by six people.

Entering the valley, Lin Xingrong said to Lin Xingqi behind him:
"Xingqi, you guys dig a cave on the mountainside immediately. It doesn't need to be too big, it's just big enough for the seven of us to live in!"

"Yes!"

Lin Xingqi called Lin Tianhong, Lin Tianhu and others, each took out their spiritual swords and started digging.

Half an hour later, Lin Xingqi and others dug a passage dozens of feet deep on the mountainside. There were several rooms of different sizes on the left and right sides. Although they were simple and crude, they could still live temporarily for a period of time.

Lin Xingrong took out a set of first-level mid-level formation equipment, quickly placed it around the entrance of the cave, and laid down a few illusions before walking into the cave.

Gather several clan members and sit around them.

Lin Xingrong looked solemn and glanced at the clan members with a pair of sharp eyes.

Lin Xingqi, Lin Xingyi, Lin Tianhong, Lin Tianqin, Lin Tianyue, Lin Tianhu, plus him, there are seven people in total.

Seeing that the two generations of clan members were all the most talented clan members of the Lin family, Lin Xingrong was both pleased and helpless.

Thinking of the tasks Lin Shikang assigned him and what he said to him, it felt particularly heavy.

At first, he was very opposed to sending away these tribesmen, preferring to advance and retreat together with the tribesmen, but Lin Shikang scolded him, asking how they would face their ancestors if their bloodline was really cut off.

Thinking of Lin Shikang's entrustment, Lin Xingrong felt deeply the great responsibility. He was extra cautious along the way for fear of being noticed by the Jin family. It took him nearly ten days to arrive safely in just over a thousand miles and nearly ten days.

During this period, few people knew anything about it and did not dare to ask. They only knew that it was a special mission.

Seeing the confused eyes of the clan members, Lin Xingrong explained everything with a solemn expression.

After hearing this, Lin Xingqi took the lead in petitioning with firm eyes.

"Brother, the special mission is to keep us in seclusion here for half a year? Let the tribesmen bleed and sacrifice? I want to go back and face it with the tribesmen. I am not afraid of death!"

"Uncle Eleven, I'm not afraid of death. I don't want to live an ignoble existence. I want to go back and face unknown dangers with my tribe, even if I am broken into pieces!"

Lin Tianhong also petitioned, hoping to return to Qingzhu Mountain to be with his tribe.

Not only the two of them, but also two women, Lin Tianqin and Lin Tianyue, also agreed.

Lin Xingrong was very moved after hearing the heartfelt words of all the clan members.

"I understand your feelings very well. When Uncle San came to me, I was just like you. If the family is really in danger, we must have a back-up to make the people feel at ease. Otherwise, how will we face our ancestors?" Zong!"

"You don't have to worry. Our Lin family already has six foundation-building monks, as well as back-ups left by our ancestors. It won't be that easy to take over our family. As long as it's safe after half a year, I will naturally bring them You go back."

After hearing Lin Xingrong reveal the hidden strength and trump cards of the Lin family, the reactions of several people were finally not so strong.

"At the beginning of the Fangshi Competition, I will leave for a while to find Uncle Fifteen. On the days when I leave, you must follow Xingqi's arrangements."

"In short, during this period, no one is allowed to leave without authorization, and no one is allowed to use the surname Lin. They must change their appearance to hide their identity, otherwise they will be punished!"

"Do you understand?"

"Yes..." Despite their reluctance, several people could only obey Lin Xingrong's orders.

"Okay, let's each choose a secret room and practice in seclusion!"

The six people clasped their fists and saluted before leaving each other.

……

Qingzhu Mountain, the family presbytery hall.

Lin Shikang and Lin Shilu both came out of seclusion and were sitting and chatting.

In the past two years, Lin Shikang and Lin Shilu, the two people with the highest cultivation level in the family, rarely appeared in public. They were all practicing in seclusion, striving to break through to a small realm to deal with potential dangers.

After a while, all the clan members arrived. The clan leader Lin Shihua stood up and called a meeting among the clan members.

"Everyone is called together today for the city competition. There is only one month left. Please make the final arrangements, Third Brother!"

After speaking, Lin Shihua looked at Lin Shikang.

Lin Shikang stood up and said with a solemn expression:
"The candidates for the Fang City Competition have been determined. Shilu will lead the team and set off in three days. Xingrong has already set off one step ahead and lurked near the Luoyun Mountains. He and Shilu are in the dark and open, and they have a mutual understanding. Take care of.”

And this city competition is a trigger. Regardless of the ranking, the Jin family may take action. If the Jin family takes action against Tianming and the others, there should be no problem in safely retreating with the protection of two foundation-building monks. "

"As for the family side, the family formations are all activated. I am in charge, and there are also the family's guardian spirit beasts, plus a group of clansmen. As long as it is not attacked by the Golden Core monks or high-level formation masters, It is difficult to threaten the security of the tribe."

Listening to what Lin Shikang said, the members of the Xingzi generation should feel more at ease.

In the past hundred years, the five major families have been relatively peaceful. There have been many small-scale fights. They were all small fights during the Qi refining period and could not damage the foundation of the family. Now it is very likely that a large-scale clan war will break out. Many people are still very worried. .

Seeing the reactions of many tribesmen, Lin Shikang continued to speak.

"Although we are protected by a large formation, we must not take it lightly. All clan members must be extra careful and are strictly prohibited from going out without permission. Be prepared to deal with attacks from the Jin family!"

"Did you hear clearly?"

"Listen clearly!"

All the tribesmen stood up and clasped their fists in response.

Lin Shikang nodded with satisfaction and dismissed the clan members.

As a large number of Xingzi people left the hall, in the end there were eight people left who stayed behind with a tacit understanding.

Among the remaining nine people, eight are from the Shizi generation clan, and the only Xingzi clan member is Lin Xingyuan, who has just made a breakthrough.

The nine people sat together, and no one spoke first.

"Cough cough..."

When no one spoke, Lin Shikang asked:
"Shixin, have the elixirs and talismans been distributed?"

Lin Shixin looked calm and answered truthfully:
"Third brother, it was distributed as required half a year ago, consuming all the war preparation resources accumulated for many years."

In order to cope with potential crises and vigorously improve the combat effectiveness of the clan, the Lin family distributed all the resources they had accumulated for many years for free. Almost all clan members in the Qi Refining Period received some of the resources.

A small number of people did not receive resources, or did not need them at all, such as Lin Shiji and Lin Shixin. Although they failed to attack the foundation building stage, although their strength was not as good as that of the foundation building monks, they were not comparable to ordinary Qi Refining Dzogchen. Therefore, those pill talismans It doesn't do much at all.

There are also some tribesmen on the first and second levels of Qi Refining whose cultivation level is too low to be of much use at all.

For example, people from the third level to the ninth level of Qi Refining can receive items of varying quantities, basically the Lingyuan Pill, the Recovery Pill and the Solid Yuan Pill, as well as some talismans of different grades.

With the family's multiple orders, the entire Lin family was running like a war machine.

"Well……"

After Lin Shixin finished his introduction, Lin Shikang said to Lin Shilu in a serious tone:
"Shilu, once the clan war breaks out this time, it will be anything but usual. We must make more preparations and have some back-ups."

"There are several members of the Tianzi generation in the clan who have outstanding talents. As the Lin family's firebrand, they have followed Xingrong and left the family secretly. They have been anonymous for a while. More importantly, Tianming. Needless to say, that child's talent is the hope for the rise of the family. Once the clan land is lost, you and Xingrong must protect them and return to Qingzhu Mountain after the younger generations grow up!"

Following Lin Shikang's arrangement was an act of entrustment, and all the clan members in the hall felt heavy.

Seeing that the hall was extremely quiet and everyone's faces were gloomy, Lin Shilu opened his mouth to comfort everyone.

"Third brother, our Lin family has a history of 800 years. We have experienced several crises and have been able to survive. I believe nothing will happen this time. Don't overthink it!"

"Shi Lu is right, third brother, don't think too much!"

All the tribesmen agreed.

Hearing everyone's comfort, Lin Shikang smiled and said:

"You don't need to be too pessimistic. Although the Jin family is powerful, our Lin family also has six foundation-building monks and spiritual beasts that protect the clan. Now the Lin family is no longer what it used to be, and the Jin family has no idea that Shi Gong and the others have built the foundation." Based on the information, if we miscalculate our strength, we can catch them off guard."

"In addition to our Lin family, the Sun family also has a profound foundation. Maybe our Lin family can take the opportunity to rise and dominate the entire Luoyun Mountains!"

Hearing this, a fiery look flashed in the eyes of all the tribesmen.

The Lin family has been silent for 200 years. If it can restore its former glory, even if it means sacrifice, why not.

Nowadays, the Lin family has six foundation-building monks, one more than the Jin family. With this strength, there is really a lot of hope.

"In short, although this is a crisis, it is also a great opportunity. All clan members must go all out. If we successfully destroy the Jin family, we can regain the glory of our ancestors."

After Lin Shikang's heroic words, the psychological burden of the tribe was finally removed.

Later, Lin Shikang took out a book, which recorded information about the main members of the Jin family. It was the latest information collected by the family after spending several years.

The clan members took turns to read through it, and Lin Shikang also started to talk about it.

"Jin Zhiying, a member of the Jin family, is at the ninth level of foundation building. He has reached the ninth level of foundation building 30 years ago. He is definitely the Dzogchen state. He is the person with the highest cultivation level in the Jin family. He has not been seen for 30 years and is the most dangerous. people."

"Jin Zhisong, the fifth level of foundation building, is a veteran foundation building monk of the Jin family. He is very powerful. He once served as the head of the Jin family and rarely shows up anymore!"

"Jin Chaozong is a monk of the Jin family's Chao generation. He is on the second floor of the foundation and is located in Luoyunfang City. He is the member of the Jin family who appears the most!"

"Jin Qishan is a monk of the Qi generation of the Jin family. He has dual spiritual root qualifications. He is likely to be at the Great Perfection state of Qi refining. He may even have established a foundation. He has great potential. If you have the chance, you must kill this person, otherwise he will pass. For decades, the Jin family has been more difficult to deal with.”

……

"The information of these people above may not be accurate, so you can only refer to it and don't be careless!"

After introducing information to more than a dozen people in a row, the clan members clearly understood how powerful the Jin family was, and indeed they had a profound foundation.

After an hour of analysis and discussion, the clan members had a pretty good understanding of the Jin family's strength.

Lin Shikang arranged everyone's tasks and dismissed the clan members.

Everyone stood up, clasped their fists and left.
