Chapter 872: Talented Youngsters (Part 2)
Thus, many of the Lin Family's Chang generation clan members, who are of the same or slightly lower generation as Lin Tianming, have very limited interaction with him.
Based on this, many of the Lin Family's young talents remain in Lin Tianming's impression as they were forty to fifty years ago.
During that period, many of them had just embarked on the Path of Immortality or were just beginning to stand out among the Lin Family's younger generation.
Even the younger Tian generation member Lin Tianluo had only recently established his foundation during that time, and his cultivation progress was merely average, leaving a limited impression on Lin Tianming.
Currently, Lin Tianluo has successfully broken through to the Golden Core Stage and has proven to be a promising formation master.
Although Lin Tianluo's dedication to the Formation Dao currently remains at the Second Order Superior level,
his cultivation has already reached the Golden Core Stage, giving him ample time to delve deep into understanding and thus enhance his expertise in the Formation Dao.
If this continues, it's foreseeable that Lin Tianluo will eventually break through to the Third Order, becoming the Lin Family's first Third Order Formation Master.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming has developed a significant regard for his same-generation peer, Lin Tianluo.
In his view, the Lin Family is currently in a period of vacancy in the field of the Formation Dao.
On this foundation, if Lin Tianluo successfully breaks through to the Third Order, the Lin Family will compensate for its shortcomings in the Formation Dao.
Additionally, since Lin Changqing is also passionate about the Way of Formation Setting, if Lin Tianluo can reach the Third Order Formation Master level first, then Lin Changqing will have more guidance when advancing to the Third Order Formation Master.
This guidance from their own family is incomparable to that of the Third Order Formation Master from the Liang Family.
Although the formation master from the Liang Family has higher expertise in the Formation Dao, he will most certainly hold back and not fully teach an outsider.
Besides, although the Lin Family currently shares an alliance of mutual progress with the Liang Family, sooner or later they will also become competitors in the future.
Therefore, in this context, Liang Qinghong is even less likely to assist the Lin Family without reservation.
From this perspective, outsiders are ultimately unreliable.
Thus, for the Lin Family to make achievements in the Way of Formation Setting, they ultimately have to rely on their own talents.
As a result, Lin Tianluo's successful breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage a few years ago means more to the current Lin Family than just adding another Golden Core Stage clansman.
The deeper benefit is that in the near future, the Lin Family is destined to have a Third Order Formation Master of their own.
And importantly, this day is about to arrive.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming places great importance on his peer who has little intersection with him.
In this journey with Lin Tianyun to Jinfeng Nation, besides Lin Tianluo, there are also two other Chang generation clan members.
The two are named Lin Changge and Lin Changxiu, both of whom, after Lin Changjin, became the second and third talented youths from the Chang generation to break through to the Golden Core Stage.
Presently, both of them have cultivation at the Early Stage Golden Core, and although their aura is stable, their overall strength within the same stage is basically average.
During their Foundation Establishment Stage, among the young and middle-aged clan members, their cultivation speed was relatively ahead, and their overall performance was quite outstanding.
As a result, through their efforts and the resources provided by the family, they were able to smoothly break through to the Golden Core Stage at their age.
Lin Tianming is quite satisfied with this outcome.
Even though he had not been in Wei Kingdom all these years, through various channels of information, Lin Tianming remained highly attentive to the family's development.
He placed great importance on the cultivation realms of the clan members in particular, providing significant resources and treasures over the years.
Among these resources and treasures, some were obtained from the battles in Jinfeng Nation, while others belonged to the Lin Family by nature.
Aside from that, a small portion came from Lin Tianming's personal wealth.
Nevertheless, ordinary treasures hold little use for Lin Tianming now.
Therefore, he entrusted the vast majority of resources below the Fourth Order to the family.
With his support, the Lin Family's young talents had enough resources to rapidly enhance their cultivation.
Lin Changge and Lin Changxiu in front of him are direct beneficiaries of these resources and treasures.
Though their spiritual root talent was relatively high within the family, and they were usually diligent in cultivation,
the truth is, the great reason they were able to smoothly break through to the Golden Core Stage before the age of eighty lies in the support from those resources and treasures.
Lin Changge and Lin Changxiu themselves are keenly aware of this point.
So today, as they get the opportunity to meet Lin Tianming—the Lin Family's foremost strongman, the guardian of the family and the direct catalyst of its rapid development—at such a close distance,
they are visibly excited and are immensely pleased to have the chance to meet Lin Tianming in person.
Meanwhile, their admiration and gratitude towards Lin Tianming are evident.
For these two young talents of the Lin Family, Lin Tianming was notably courteous, expressing sincere concern for them as well.
Thus, creating a harmonious atmosphere at the scene, where every clan member's heart was filled with the joy of reunion after a long separation.
In this manner, the clan members chatted idly for quite a while before the scene settled down a bit.
At this point, Lin Tianming glanced at Lin Tianyun and Lin Xingping, before proactively addressing the main topic, thus bringing the people back to the main thread.
"Uncle, the clan member I dispatched over two months ago to send news to Wei Kingdom, based on the normal travel pace, should have just arrived at the family now."
"Yet you, uncle, have arrived ahead of time in Jinfeng Nation. Could it be that the family foresaw this?"
"Did they already know of my plans and hence sent you ahead to Jinfeng Nation?"
Lin Tianming joked with a smile, indeed feeling a bit surprised internally.
However, this is good as Lin Tianyun and the others' early arrival greatly enhanced Jinfeng Nation's overall strength beyond the original foundation.
More importantly, with someone to sit at Qingyun Mountain, Lin Tianming can set off for Yulan Country ahead of schedule.
In doing so, he will have more time to search for other auxiliary materials for the Buddha Heart Pill.
Also, when attending the Alchemist Conference, he will have more time for preparation.
Knowing this, Lin Tianming was quite pleased with Lin Tianyun and the others arriving early.
Upon hearing Lin Tianming's words, Lin Xingping also smiled and said, "Tianming, the Clan Leader certainly does not have the ability to foresee."
"As for our arrival in Jinfeng Nation, it's mainly because the spirit ore mining in Liusha Wasteland was ending, freeing Tianyun's hands."
"Moreover, the Luoyun Commerce Alliance has cemented its position within the Seven Southern Kingdoms of Qingzhou, and its business has stabilized, returning stable profits to the family."
"Thus, with the stability in the Wei Kingdom clan land, we were freed up."
"And the Clan Leader, considering the greater pressure here in Jinfeng Nation, which requires more manpower and resources, sent a few of us here to assist you without your knowledge."
Hearing these words, Lin Tianming nodded in understanding, finally grasping the reason behind it.
Such an arrangement by the family indeed aligned with his expectations perfectly.
Additionally, he held a great impression of the Lin Family's newly established young talents.
Especially since these individuals have shown relatively fast cultivation speed and are willing to take risks for the family.
With such young clan members, Lin Tianming finally saw the vitality of the Lin Family and vaguely glimpsed their future.
