Chapter 867: Zhou's Meticulous Arrangements (Part 2)
After saying these words, Lin Tianhu looked at Lin Tianming with a serious expression, seemingly quite eager for his reply.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming also understood that Lin Tianhu had surely grasped his intention.
And the reason for his anticipation was certainly due to the famous Elixir Master Convention, which is a prestigious gathering every alchemist and even regular cultivators aspire to.
Even cultivators like Lin Tianhu, who lack a specialized skill, are filled with infinite longing for the influential Elixir Master Convention.
As such, when Lin Tianming mentioned wanting to head to the Jade Orchid Nation, Lin Tianhu immediately thought of the once-in-a-century Elixir Master gathering.
In his eyes, Lin Tianming has always been a family member with deep alchemy expertise.
Beyond this, Lin Tianming's current cultivation has reached the pinnacle of Golden Core Cultivation.
Against such a backdrop, an event like the Centennial Elixir Master Convention would undoubtedly spark great interest in Lin Tianming.
Understanding this, Lin Tianhu immediately grasped Lin Tianming's intention.
In reality, since Lin Tianming initiated the topic, he surely has some interest in the Elixir Master Convention.
Thus, as soon as Lin Tianhu finished speaking, Lin Tianming nodded, then responded with a smile.
"Tianhu, your guess is correct. I do indeed have some yearning for this once-in-a-century Elixir Master Convention."
"Therefore, I plan to start the journey to Jade Orchid Nation as soon as half a year from now."
"As for the latest departure, it would be in nine months."
"If we can wait until Tian Yun arrives, then I will have no concerns about leaving Qingyun Mountain."
After speaking, Lin Tianming's expression was calm, with an air of anticipation in his eyes.
Seeing this situation, and observing Lin Tianming's demeanor, Lin Tianhu also slightly nodded, evidently greatly approving of Lin Tianming's plan.
Not only him, but also Lin Changjin and Lin Tianqin beside Lin Tianhu, did not oppose Lin Tianming's plan.
In their view, Lin Tianming's decisions should never be questioned nor need their opinion.
Lin Tianming's action was merely to give them a heads up and let them mentally prepare for it.
If they were tactless and opposed directly, they might incur Lin Tianming's resentment.
Although Lin Tianming has always been gentle, very forgiving to his peers, and giving selflessly for years without expecting returns.
But they are well aware of their own positions.
Only by doing so would the Lin Family unite their efforts, allowing it to become an unbreakable force.
Understanding this, whether Lin Tianhu, Lin Tianqin, or the younger Lin Changjin, all stated they had no objections to Lin Tianming's plan.
Meanwhile, they encouraged Lin Tianming not to worry, affirming they will hold down the fort in Jinfeng Nation's territory and ensure nothing happens in the short term.
Aside from that, various industries within Lin Family Territory will naturally progress steadily.
Overall, their remarks were to reassure Lin Tianming not to be indecisive.
Upon understanding their thoughts, Lin Tianming was quite calm, as if he anticipated this.
Nonetheless, Lin Tianming was deeply touched inwardly.
He knew the entire Lin Family always unconditionally supports his decisions.
This family environment matches exactly what he envisions.
Influenced by this, Lin Tianming was very happy and felt comforted by the familial atmosphere.
After calming a bit, Lin Tianming regained his composure.
Shortly after, Lin Tianming casually chatted with Lin Tianhu and others.
During this period, Lin Tianming made numerous arrangements for after his departure.
In Lin Tianming's view, Qianyuan Market would remain under Lin Tianhu's supervision.
His task is to maintain stability in this territory.
Additionally, he must oversee and support the ongoing development of various spirit land industries within this realm.
Moreover, the battle at Evil Dragon Mountain must be closely monitored by Lin Tianhu.
Should any major findings or actions from the Liang or Yang family occur, they might enforce necessary measures.
Once these arrangements were made, Lin Tianming talked about his subsequent plans.
According to his plans, he would leave Qianyuan Market in a few days.
Before returning to Qingyun Mountain, he intends to visit Linyang Marketplace once more.
His purpose was naturally to liaise with Qin Xi, informing him of his plans.
Meanwhile, he would discuss the series of arrangements post-departure with Qin Xi.
The purpose would be to ensure Qin Xi coordinates with Lin Shilu and Lin Tianhu to maintain peace in Lin Family Territory during Lin Tianming's absence, while ensuring steady progress.
Only after these arrangements would Lin Tianming leave Jinfeng Nation at ease.
Carrying these goals, Lin Tianming promptly put them into action.
Thus, several days passed in the blink of an eye.
One morning, Lin Tianming bid farewell to Lin Tianhu and the others, then quietly left Qianyuan Market.
After a few more days, Lin Tianming, as planned, reappeared at Linyang Marketplace.
Here, Lin Tianming met Qin Xi once more, alongside Lin Tianyue and other senior Lin Family members.
During this moment, a group of Lin Family members gathered for a chat.
Following some polite exchanges, Qin Xi appeared quite excited, evidently due to the detailed news, process, and results from the Evil Dragon Mountain battle being known among family members.
As they learned the cause and effects of the battle, Qin Xi and others momentarily felt anxious for Lin Tianming.
Although Lin Tianming's combat abilities were formidable, almost reaching the limits of Golden Core Stage cultivators.
However, Lin Tianming was solo at Evil Dragon Mountain.
In contrast, the opponent was composed of ten Golden Core Stage cultivators and several powerful Third Order Demonic Beasts.
Among them were Chen Jianyi and Li Yongan, two Late Stage Golden Core cultivators, and other Mid Stage Golden Core cultivators of substantial power.
Additionally, with the Mountain Protection Array at Evil Dragon Mountain, the remnants of Tianqing Sect had considerable overall strength.
Moreover, Danger loomed in the depths of Evil Dragon Mountain, filled with Demonic Beasts' threats and numerous traps for unwary cultivators.
In such circumstances, Lin Tianming's successful elimination of the strong enemy lineup was no easy feat.
Therefore, upon understanding these details, Qin Xi and others, though attracted by Lin Tianming's combat prowess, couldn't help but worry.
Luckily, Lin Tianming did not disappoint his family, once again redefining their perception of his abilities.
The ultimate result was a resounding victory for the Lin Family.
Moreover, alongside Lin Tianming's defeat of Tianqing Sect's remnants, Lin Family eradicated a significant threat.
A seemingly quiet victory allowed everyone in the Lin Family to relax substantially.
Simultaneously, considering the cultivation of these remnants and the foundational strength of Tianqing Sect's three forces, Lin Tianming's gains were surely abundant.
After all, during Lin Family's earlier siege of Xie and Li Family's Golden Core strongholds, due to Liang and Yang Clan's direct involvement, Lin Family's acquired resources were very limited.
Including the resources from Tianqing Sect, only a portion was obtained.
