Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

```

Anyway, he got a great opportunity for free, which would be of great help whether for Alchemy or for combat against enemies, thanks to the Blue Heart True Flame.

Such opportunities, for a Cultivator, truly came once in a blue moon.

Therefore, he should actually feel fortunate instead.

Realizing this, Lin Tianming no longer dwelled on the reasons, and his entire demeanor returned to its normal state.

Once his composure was regained, Lin Tianming glanced at the soaring flames around him and fell into deep thought.

Counting from the time of his unconsciousness, more than half a month had passed; Hu Yuan must have left this place by now.

That being said, leaving this place now and trying to find him again would probably depend on luck.

However, that was not a major issue; with his current strength, having Hu Yuan with him would not be of much use anyway.

Unless they encountered a Third Order Demon Beast, it was more convenient for him to act alone.

And now, with the treasures here being thoroughly scavenged by them, there really was no need to stay any longer.

After all, there was still more than half a year left of the one-year timeframe, which was enough time; he had to seize every moment to continue treasure hunting and try to acquire as many treasures as possible.

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Tianming decided to leave the area immediately and resume his treasure-hunting journey.

Once he made up his mind, Lin Tianming leaped up and rode the Tiangang Sword toward the heights of the abyss.

While it had been a painful and slow descent, ascending was much easier now that he had assimilated the Blue Heart True Flame, and the high temperatures no longer affected him.

Familiar with the path, Lin Tianming returned to the flat ground at the top in merely the time it took to brew a cup of tea.

Just as expected, seeing that Hu Yuan had already left, Lin Tianming was calm and indifferent, without caring whether Hu Yuan had waited for him or not.

After all, nearly twenty days had passed since he was last seen, so it was natural to presume he had perished.

In that case, it was understandable for Hu Yuan not to wait for him.

Understanding this, Lin Tianming simply smiled lightly and then chose a direction to fly off in.

...

Time flew, and half a year passed in a blink of an eye.

On this day, Lin Tianming and Hu Yuan were traveling together, flying over a high peak.

About a month prior, the two had unexpectedly rejoined each other.

Seeing Lin Tianming, Hu Yuan wore a face full of surprise, having thought that Lin Tianming had met his demise in that abyss.

In response, Lin Tianming made up a reason, merely saying that he had been delayed by encountering some treasures.

Whether true or not, Hu Yuan naturally didn't ask further, as everyone had their own fortune to find; if he missed out, he couldn't blame others.

Seeing Lin Tianming reappear with even a subtly enhanced strength, Hu Yuan was also overjoyed.

Afterward, the two once again traveled together, exploring the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm.

In the month of their partnership, they did not gain much, obtaining only about a dozen Second Order Spiritual Medicine Materials.

In the nearly half a year before that, Lin Tianming's gains were also modest; he acquired quite a few Second Order treasures and killed several dozen Second Order Demonic Beasts.

But he obtained only six Third Order Items, and none was particularly rare.

Clear enough, this was a disappointing haul compared to the first three months, which also made him somewhat discontented.

But upon further reflection, perhaps due to the passage of time, the treasures of the Secret Realm had been found by other Cultivators.

After all, aside from them, there were nearly a hundred Cultivators in the Secret Realm, with strengths comparable to theirs.

Moreover, ninety of them were disciples of the Golden Elixir Forces, with access to comprehensive information and intelligence.

With such favorable conditions, their combined power undoubtedly much exceeded acting alone.

Stronger power meant bigger targets, and they didn't need to be concerned about even powerful Monster Beast Legions.

As a result, with others joining forces and scouring for half a year, the good items had become increasingly scarce.

Going on like this, the chances of encountering high-value treasures would become tougher as time went on!

With these realizations, Lin Tianming stopped dwelling on the matter.

Anyway, according to the haul from the past half year, he was quite satisfied; even if he left the Secret Realm now, it wouldn't be an unacceptable outcome.

At this moment, as Lin Tianming and Hu Yuan were engaged in Sword Flight, looking at the towering peaks piercing the clouds below, Lin Tianming suggested to Hu Yuan, "Daoist Hu, this place looks good. How about we rest here for half a day?"

Hearing this, Hu Yuan thought about how they'd been running around for more than ten days without proper rest, indeed feeling a bit haggard.

Plus, he just happened to want to recuperate, so he immediately agreed to Lin Tianming's suggestion.

Seeing Hu Yuan had no objections, Lin Tianming slowly descended, and the two stopped at the top of the mountain, one after the other.

Then, Lin Tianming began to survey the area, searching for any signs of Demonic Beasts.

It was this kind of cautious behavior that allowed him to avoid many unnecessary dangers.

And in this Secret Realm so densely populated with beasts, it was all the more necessary to be vigilant.

Hu Yuan on the other side did the same; as a Loose Cultivator who had managed to reach his current level of cultivation, he had survived countless crises.

He always maintained vigilance, no matter where he was, and that was how he managed to cultivate to his current state.

As the pair inspected the area carefully, the mountain peak turned out to be safe, with the exception of a fairly large plateau, no traces of Demonic Beasts were found.

Once they ensured safety, they sat down cross-legged and took out some elixirs to consume, in order to replenish their spent Spiritual Power.
