Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Seeing no one around, Lin Tianming tentatively asked, "Daoist Wang, are you detaining me for any specific commands?" "Hehe... Lin, don't panic. I presume you already have some guesses in mind," "The reason I've detained you is none other than for the ongoing monster tide attack, and the Sect's issuance of the Recruitment Order!" Upon hearing this, Lin Tianming nodded in understanding; with Wang Zhi's status, it was sure to be about this matter at such a critical juncture, or else he wouldn't have made such a fuss. "Daoist Wang, if you have any commands, just say them. If it's within my power, I shall not refuse!" Lin Tianming said determinedly. "Hmm..." Upon hearing this, Wang Zhi nodded, then went straight to the topic at hand. He first shared some frontline information that Lin Tianming had not been aware of, much to Lin Tianming's delight. Immediately after, Wang Zhi finally addressed the main reason for keeping him behind. "In two days, the cultivators responding to the summon will head to the frontlines. At that time, you will be assigned to multiple squads. When facing the demonic beasts, you will also fight as squads, helping each other out as a team, which can also lessen the losses on the cultivators' side." "I've detained you to relay a message from Brother Li, inviting you to join his Monster Hunting Squad!" "Li Xiuyuan, Daoist Li?" "To join Daoist Li's Monster Hunting Squad!" Lin Tianming wore an expression full of confusion and disbelief. Seeing his expression, Wang Zhi explained, "Before Brother Li was urgently summoned by the Sect to the frontlines recently, he made a special request to me. If any of the Lin Family Members respond to the Recruitment Order, I was to inform you of this matter ahead of time!" "Besides that, to proactively inform you and invite you to join his squad. As for the terms of joining, Lin, feel free to ask, and I can make arrangements on Brother Li's behalf." No sooner had he finished speaking than Lin Tianming, after a moment of thought, began to ask more questions. "Daoist Wang, hearing you say this raises several doubts in my mind," Lin Tianming said. "You should know that there are at least hundreds of cultivators responding to the Recruitment Order, including some at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage. With so many talented individuals, why specifically recruit members of the Lin Family?" "Although our Lin Family has a good private relationship with Daoist Li, I really can't understand why he would specifically choose me." "That is something you don't know!" Wang Zhi laughed softly. "With so many cultivators responding to the Recruitment Order, plus our own Sect sending Foundation Establishment Cultivators to resist the monster tide, there are at the very least hundreds to thousands of people." "With so many cultivators, they obviously can't be allowed to move freely; they must be led by the sect's disciples, formed into several squads, and assigned precise tasks for their strikes." "As for why you've been recruited, it's not only because of the good personal relationship but also because of your strength." "Since the leading sect disciples' squads are competing for the top ten spots, they can receive generous rewards from the sect and the opportunity to enter the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm!" "Brother Li's cultivation is close to reaching the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection; to gain resources for the Impact of Golden Core Stage, he must obtain significant credit and rewards." "And within Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm, there are Nascent Soul Spiritual Items. To achieve this goal, he actively volunteered to be sent to the frontlines to participate in the great battle." "Thus, Lin, you should now understand Brother Li's purpose in recruiting you, right?" After Wang Zhi's explanation, Lin Tianming sank into thought. Their response to the Recruitment Order was not only out of fear of Zhenyang Sect's retaliation against the Lin Family afterward but also to obtain entry into the Tianfeng Adverse Realm. Inside the Zhenyang Sect, there is competition among disciples as well. The resources for Core Formation are tremendously precious; even an established sect like Zhenyang Sect, which has existed for thousands of years, has limited quantities of Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects. However, there are many talented disciples and with factions entrenched within the Sect, absolute fairness is impossible to achieve. For Inner Sect Disciples, to gain the sect's support and acquire Nascent Soul Spiritual Items, this monster tide attack is also an opportunity. As long as the squad they lead gains significant merit, they can earn a slot to enter the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm and possibly obtain a Nascent Soul Spiritual Item. At the very least, they can receive enough rewards to accumulate resources for future attempts at the Golden Core Stage. Therefore, Zhenyang Sect has established this fair and just competitive opportunity, where everything is spoken for by achievement. Those with merit will naturally receive opportunities. On the other hand, those without contributions will lose the chance to enter the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm and thus drift further away from the Golden Core Stage. Such a system is fair and just for the elders backing these disciples and serves as a way to filter out who to focus on cultivating. If one's own disciple does not perform well under the same conditions and falls behind other sect brothers and sisters, they cannot blame the Sect, not even the Great Elder's Disciples. Thinking this through, Lin Tianming nodded, finding Wang Zhi's explanations quite credible. However, he did not rush to express excitement. They had not yet reached the frontlines, and it was uncertain what might unfold. Joining a squad that could be assigned extremely dangerous tasks without careful consideration would not be wise. But Li Xiuyuan had taken the initiative to extend an olive branch through Wang Zhi. If Lin Tianming rejected it outright, he might easily offend someone. At this point, Lin Tianming thought it over and decided to inquire more about the specifics and see what benefits Li Xiuyuan could offer him. After all, he couldn't simply agree to everything just because of a good personal relationship. "Daoist Wang, if I join Daoist Li's team, what would I gain? Will we be assigned particularly dangerous tasks?"
