Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate-Chapter 1067 - 560 Heyuan Guo Tree_2

Chapter 1067: Chapter 560 Heyuan Guo Tree_2 Chapter 1067: Chapter 560 Heyuan Guo Tree_2 Lin Tianming’s words came out with a stern look on his face as he gazed sharply at Tang Xiuping, as if he could see through the thoughts in Tang Xiuping’s heart.

At that moment, Tang Xiuping, seeing Lin Tianming’s expression, couldn’t help but force a bitter smile.

Immediately afterward, Tang Xiuping let out a slight sigh and then began to explain.

“Elder Lin, I have personally investigated the location of the Heyuan Fruit Tree.”

“At that time, there was a Third Order Medium Stage Demonic Beast guarding it. I used some methods to temporarily paralyze the beast and then sneaked in. I only got a fleeting glimpse, but the tree should indeed exist and be about to ripen.”

“As for why I did not request help from my family, as Elder Lin questioned, it’s not that I hadn’t considered it.”

“In fact, that was my initial plan!”

“However, with the Heyuan Fruit about to ripen and the risk of its exposure at any time, there’s no way I can wait for the support of the family elders.”

“Therefore, I would like to request Elder Lin’s assistance in obtaining the Heyuan Fruit Tree.”

After finishing his explanation, Tang Xiuping fixed his gaze on Lin Tianming with an expression full of anticipation for his response.

At this moment, Lin Tianming was also weighing the credibility of Tang Xiuping’s words in his heart.

In his mind, the ripening of the Heyuan Fruit indeed could not afford any delay.

Under these circumstances, it seemed reasonable that Tang Xiuping couldn’t wait for family reinforcements and had to seek help elsewhere.

Yet he and Lin Tianming had never met before and had no personal relationship to speak of.

Although the Lin Family had indeed worked closely with the Sky Dragon Pavilion over the years.

Tang Xiuping could still seek the assistance of other Golden Core Cultivators within the Golden Crow Country.

Given Tang Xiuping’s background and status, it surely wouldn’t be difficult as long as he was willing to pay a certain price.

Thinking this, Lin Tianming found Tang Xiuping’s sudden request to be somewhat far-fetched.

Thus, Lin Tianming voiced his opinion, raising his doubts without any hesitation.

At that point, Tang Xiuping seemed to have been prepared for this, and he began to explain: “To be frank with Elder Lin, I indeed sought help from Elder Su of the Golden Crow Country before this.”

“However, Elder Su made some exorbitant demands, insisting he must obtain a Heyuan Fruit and the Heyuan Fruit Tree to offer his assistance.”

“And a Heyuan Fruit Tree is a treasure that can enhance a family’s foundation; no matter who assists, we, the Tang Family, will not readily relinquish it.”

Tang Xiuping spoke with a serious tone, clearly displaying a firm stance against compromise.

Hearing this explanation and seeing Tang Xiuping’s expression, Lin Tianming no longer doubted his motives.

Then, Lin Tianming straightforwardly said, “I’m not opposed to lending a hand.”

“However, that Third Order Medium Stage Demonic Beast is no easy opponent, what kind of compensation can Daoist Tang offer?”

Upon hearing Lin Tianming’s words, which suggested he might be persuaded, Tang Xiuping immediately appeared excited.

Then, Tang Xiuping said, “Elder Lin also knows that our Tang Family cannot afford to lose the Heyuan Fruit Tree.”

“But I only want one Heyuan Fruit myself; the remaining two can go to Elder Lin, is this compensation satisfactory?”

Hearing this, Lin Tianming glanced at Qin Xi, who had been silent beside him, seeming to seek her opinion.

Soon, Qin Xi nodded slightly. Though she didn’t say much, it was clear she was deferring to Lin Tianming’s decision.

And in Lin Tianming’s heart, he had already made up his mind.

In his view, even if he could only obtain one Heyuan Fruit, it was well worth his involvement.

He was very aware that the Lin Family was currently in great need of Core Formation Spiritual Objects.

Therefore, currently, the family had only one Jiuli Star Fruit left, while there were already over ten Late Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the family.

Among them, his father and Lin Tianyue had reached the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Realm and the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment when he left the family.

Apart from these close relatives, others like Lin Xingping, Lin Xingzhi, Lin Tianhong, and Lin Tianqin, who had good relations with him, had also reached above the Eighth Level of Foundation Establishment in their cultivation.

It could be said that over the next fifty years, many talented members of the Lin Family would reach the conditions for the Impact of the Golden Core Stage.

However, having numerous Core Formation stage seeds with only one Jiuli Star Fruit left in the family was merely a drop in the bucket.

Moreover, the Creation Fruit Tree he had obtained in his early years would still take many more years to ripen once again.

During this period, the family couldn’t possibly wait around for so many years.

However, his journey out for training this time, in search of Nascent Soul Spiritual Items for the family, was also one of his primary objectives.

Since the opportunity was at hand, he naturally wouldn’t give it up easily.

Moreover, Tang Xiuping was quite honest; he offered two Heyuan Fruits as compensation right from the start.

Such terms, in his view, were well worth considering.

Understanding this, Lin Tianming feigned a look of difficulty.

Then, Lin Tianming finally said, “Daoist Tang, it’s not that I can’t make a move.”

“However, I must make it clear, once the matter is accomplished, one Heyuan Fruit and the Heyuan Fruit Tree are yours, the other two Heyuan Fruits are mine.”

“In addition, the carcass of the Third Order Demon Beast, including all the treasures from its lair, are also mine.”

“If Daoist Tang agrees, shall we settle on this arrangement?”

After stating this, Lin Tianming stared intently at Tang Xiuping, waiting for his reply.

And Tang Xiuping was quite forthcoming; he nodded in agreement with Lin Tianming’s proposition the moment the words were out.

“Haha… Let’s settle it as Elder Lin suggests!”

In this moment, Tang Xiuping was brimming with excitement, his face full of satisfied smiles.

At this point, Lin Tianming continued to ask, “Now that we have reached a consensus, when shall we set off?”

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiuping replied directly: “Elder Lin, the Heyuan Fruits should take another half a year to fully mature.”

“Therefore, right after the auction two months from now, we will set off together. How about waiting for my message at that time, Elder Lin?”

Obviously, Tang Xiuping wasn’t planning to reveal more but merely mentioned a time for the two to meet.

As for the specific destination and final route, that would still require Tang Xiuping to lead the way.

Such arrangements, however, fell within Lin Tianming’s expectations.

After all, the human heart is unfathomable, and one must always guard against others.

Tang Xiuping was merely a Foundation Establishment Cultivator—if Lin Tianming had any ill-intentions, Tang Xiuping would have no chance of resisting against him, a Golden Core Stage Expert.

Fortunately, Tang Xiuyuan was backed by the Tang Family of Qingzhou, possessing a strong enough background to negotiate terms with a Golden Core Stage Cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment.

Otherwise, any ordinary cultivator without such strong backing would be courting death just by letting slip the faintest hint of news about something as valuable as the Heyuan Fruit Tree.

Realizing this, Lin Tianming nodded indifferently.

“Um… I’ll wait for Daoist Tang’s message then, and we can meet up at a place then.”

“Good… good… it’s settled!”

“Haha… With Elder Lin personally taking action, we’re bound to succeed in obtaining the treasures on this trip!”

Tang Xiuping complimented enthusiastically, his joy impossible to hide, clearly very excited.

Lin Tianming didn’t mind these pleasantries but simply waved his hand nonchalantly.

Then, after chatting idly for a while with Tang Xiuping, Lin Tianming expressed his intention to leave.

With the agreement about the Heyuan Fruit settled, Tang Xiuping’s goal was achieved, and he could finally relax his anxious heart.

Given this, there was no need to detain Lin Tianming any further.

Thus, Tang Xiuping personally escorted Lin Tianming and his wife out of the Sky Dragon Pavilion, waiting until they disappeared into the crowd before returning contentedly to the interior of the pavilion.

After the couple left the Sky Dragon Pavilion, they strolled around the workshop for a while.

In no time, they rented a small courtyard to serve as their temporary cave abode, planning to spend the two months waiting for the auction here.

Once this period had passed, they were to fulfill their agreement and set out on the journey to collect the Heyuan Fruits.
