Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Chapter 151 Return to Qianchuan_1

```

Early morning. Golden Horn Mountain.

Dense fog enveloped the area, the morning glow filtering through the clouds, with the gentle sunshine shining in every corner of Golden Horn Mountain.

After a day and night of rest, Lin Tianming and his companions appeared at the mountain gate, with Lin Xingrong arriving to see them off.

After Lin Tianming and his six companions had exchanged bows, they said farewell to Lin Xingrong and set off again, flying north towards Qianchuan Market.

Golden Horn Mountain lay to the north of Luoyun Market, over two thousand miles away, and was the closest position within the Luoyun Mountain Range to Qianchuan Market.

With the family's occupation of Golden Horn Mountain, it could serve as a stepping stone for the Lin Family's expansion towards greater aspirations, making its significance extraordinary.

Sitting on the back of a Purple Gold Eagle, Lin Shilu took out a map made from beast skin and started examining it carefully with Lin Tianming.

He pointed at two spots on the map with a serious expression and said,

"Tianming, after we fly several hundred more miles to the north, we'll enter the periphery of the Hengyang Mountain Range. Everyone needs to be vigilant from there on!"

"You and I will take turns on guard. We cannot afford to be negligent!"

Hearing Lin Shilu's instructions, Lin Tianming nodded and acknowledged with a casual response before he spoke up:

"Fifteenth Grandfather, with your eighty years of cultivation experience, you must have seen much of the world. Since we're going to establish ourselves in Qianchuan Market, perhaps you could enlighten us on the basic situation surrounding the market?"

Seeing Lin Tianming bring up this matter, Lin Shilu naturally wouldn't refuse, especially since he had already planned to analyze the power dynamics of the surrounding forces to prepare the younger generation psychologically.

Having made up his mind, he gathered everyone around and began to speak with a grave expression:

"The Wei Kingdom is also vast, and as for the Golden Elixir Forces, I'm sure you've heard of them without me having to mention it."

"In the Wei Kingdom's Cultivation World, there are at least a hundred Foundation Establishing Families. Almost every year, some families vanish, while new ones emerge. With so many families, the vast majority will not cross paths."

"I will introduce the Foundation Establishing Families near Luoyun Market, which are close to the Luoyun Mountain Range. Keep these in mind, so if conflict arises with them, you will be prepared."

Lin Tianming and the others nodded. Most of them had only operated within the Luoyun Mountain Range, so they didn't know much about the outside world. As Lin Shilu started speaking, they all listened intently, showing keen interest.

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Shilu began his explanation.

"The vast area more than two thousand miles north of the Luoyun Mountain Range falls under the Hengyang Mountain Range and Luoyang Mountain Range!"

"These two ranges form a pincer with Luoyun Mountain Range. Being closer to Qianchuan Market, the overall strength of these two mountain ranges is noticeably stronger than that of Luoyun Mountain Range."

At Lin Shilu's words, the others immediately showed interest, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Seeing their reactions, Lin Shilu continued:

"The Hengyang Mountain Range has seven great Foundation Establishing Families, among which the Chen Clan and Wei Family are powerful, openly boasting five Foundation Establishment Cultivators. The number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the other five families varies, but overall, the strength of the entire Hengyang Mountain Range is more than double that of Luoyun Mountain Range!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianfeng could not help but click his tongue, while the others looked somber.

Lin Shilu chuckled and continued:

"You might think that's all, but actually, the neighboring Luoyang Mountain Range is even stronger!"

Lin Tianfeng was immediately shocked and eagerly inquired further.

"The situation in Luoyang Mountain Range is very different from Hengyang Mountain Range. There, only three major families exist, creating a tripartite balance of power that has persisted for hundreds of years. Each family has a heritage spanning over a thousand years, making them deeply entrenched and powerful."

"One family also bears the Lin surname, while the other two are the Meng Family and Qiu Family. Each publicly boasts no fewer than seven Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Furthermore, among these three families, there is a considerable number of late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators and beyond!"

"Hiss... such incredible strength!"

The others gasped, Lin Tianfeng's face paled, Lin Tianhong's expression turned even darker, and even the usually composed Lin Tianming was taken aback.

Comparing the Lin Family to these other families based on Lin Shilu's description, Lin Tianming couldn't help but realize how much the Lin Family lagged behind in overall strength, despite having a similar number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Seeing his younger kinsmen's expressions of terror, Lin Shilu remained calm, then said:

"You needn't worry too much. The Foundation Establishing Families of Hengyang Mountain Range are embroiled in constant internal strife and lack the capacity to entangle with external forces."

"On the other hand, the situation in Luoyang Mountain Range is comparatively simple. The strength of the three major Foundation Establishing Families is evenly matched; they guard against and suspect each other. None dare act rashly for fear of allowing another to profit off their conflict, leading to over two hundred years of peace."

Reassured by Lin Shilu's detailed introduction, Lin Tianming and the others felt somewhat more at ease, yet many questions lingered.

"Fifteenth Grandfather, wouldn't the Golden Elixir Forces intervene in the internal conflicts between families in different regions?" Lin Tianfeng asked curiously.

Lin Shilu answered calmly and patiently:

"In the entire region of Qingzhou, unlike other major states that have developed for tens of thousands of years such as the central Mysterious State, where many forces with ten-thousand-year legacies stand unshakably, Qingzhou has only developed for tens of thousands of years and cannot be compared."

"Being close to the Demon Race Area, it is one of the Four Battlegrounds. Every day, many forces are extinguished, so many rules and orders are not well established. Over time, the situation here has become quite unique. Qingzhou is vast with sparse populations and chaotic order. Almost all forces just occupy a piece of territory and then wage war on their own."
