Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate-Chapter 341 - 214 Clan Meeting_1
Chapter 341: Chapter 214 Clan Meeting_1
Several days later, commotion arose from the two remaining courtyards, but it wasn’t the aura and pressure of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Lin Xingshun and Lin Xingyao emerged from the courtyard one after the other, with merely a quarter of an hour’s difference between them.
Inside Lin Shilu’s cave mansion, Lin Tianming and three other Foundation Establishment Clan Members were seated around a stone table. In the center of the yard, Lin Xingshun and Lin Xingyao stood side by side, both wearing expressions of utter dejection.
Given the circumstances, Lin Shihua sighed helplessly, then began to offer words of comfort.
“Xingshun, Xingyao, you two mustn’t be disheartened. Although you’ve failed once, it’s not unheard of for someone to succeed at Foundation Establishment on the second attempt. Cultivate diligently. If you can obtain Heaven-Defying Treasures, you might still have a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough.”
“Yes… do not lose heart, dear uncles…” Lin Tianming also chimed in comfortingly.
What Lin Tianming and the others said was meant as comfort, as most people had heard of instances where the second attempt at Foundation Establishment was successful.
However, the chances of this were exceedingly slim. Those who had failed once found it doubly difficult to break through again, and the use of Heaven-Defying Treasures was required, at the very least Fourth Order treasures of such power.
The two were mere scions of a Foundation Establishing Family, where even Third Grade Treasures were rare, let alone Fourth Order Heaven-Defying Treasures for aiding Foundation Establishment, which even Nascent Soul Forces might not possess.

Aware of this, Lin Xingshun and Lin Xingyao had already accepted their fate. They nodded to the others, bowed respectfully, and said in unison:
“We have taken your teachings to heart. We have accepted the outcome and will not lose our Daoist will because of it.”
Hearing this, Lin Shihua nodded. Though their breakthrough had failed, their Daoist will remained firm, making them suitable for taking on important responsibilities in clan affairs.
Regaining his composure, he spoke, “Hmm… You two are injured. You should withdraw and enter seclusion to heal your wounds.”
“We shall take our leave!”
Lin Xingshun and his companion bowed to everyone one by one, and then, in each other’s company, they left the courtyard, vanishing atop the Peak of Green Bamboo Mountain.
The matter of the nine clan members’ breakthroughs had settled, with seven succeeding and Lin Xingshun and Lin Xingyao failing.
This outcome, having exceeded expectations, was considered satisfactory despite some regrets.
Ren Yuxuan and Lin Tianyue had both achieved breakthroughs and would need at least another month to consolidate their cultivation, hence they wouldn’t be emerging from seclusion anytime soon.
Lin Tianming and his grandson also stood to bid farewell. Seeing them about to leave, Lin Shihua planned to depart with them.
After greeting Lin Shilu, the three companions left Lin Shilu’s Cave Mansion Courtyard together.
Their spirits lifted as they chatted and laughed along the way.
Soon, each returned to their respective cave mansions to attend to their own affairs.
Two months later…
On this day, inside the Family Elders’ Hall, over twenty clan members gathered joyously.
The hall was bustling with voices as clan members chatted in groups of threes and twos, either discussing recent events in the Cultivation World, exchanging cultivation methods, or sharing leisure pursuits from the Four Arts.
The lively scene mirrored that of the Secular World.
Within the hall, six chairs were placed side by side at the high table, five of which were already occupied. Only the central seat remained vacant.
Of the five seated clan members, three looked like middle-aged cultivators—Lin Shilu, Lin Shihua, and Lin Shigong.
The other two, with greying temples and beards, exuded the air of the aged. They were Lin Shigang and Lin Shihe.
With nearly 120 years under their belts, they were only a few years away from the lifespan limit of Qi Refining Cultivators.
The five members of the Shi clan generation chatted idly, Lin Shihe clutching Lin Shigong’s hand, reminiscing fragmented memories from their youth while Lin Shihua occasionally added his input.
Lin Shilu listened quietly by the side, scarcely speaking a word. With a considerable age gap between himself and Lin Shigong and others, he was barely over ninety, not yet even a centenarian. Thus, he was entirely unfamiliar with his elder brothers’ younger days and had only heard some anecdotes from them.
Below them, more than twenty chairs stretched out in rows, filled with cultivators. The number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators was nearly equal to that of Qi Refining Clanspeople, each group with more than ten members.
Lin Tianming was among them, seated next to Lin Tianfeng and Lin Tianhong, with Lin Tianyue and other recently advanced Foundation Establishment clan members nearby.
Since Lin Tianhu’s breakthrough, more than two months had passed, and their cultivation had stabilized. They had secured their Foundation Establishment first-layer realm and emerged from seclusion.
This assembly was clearly convened for an important family meeting and to celebrate the seven newly inaugurated Foundation Establishment members.
Lin Tianming and the other Tian clan generation members sat together chatting leisurely while the Xing generation members also whispered amongst themselves, everyone in high spirits.
In the bustling atmosphere, clan members bonded while awaiting the arrival of Lin Shikang, the occupant of the last vacant chair, signaling the official commencement of the clan meeting.
Half a quarter of an hour passed.
Laughter rang out, and the entire hall instantly fell silent.
As the new arrival approached, clan members stood and saluted with cupped fists, welcoming Lin Shikang.
Having not been seen for six years, Lin Shikang’s reappearance gave the illusion of an ordinary mortal.
Lin Tianming understood that this was the effect of a breakthrough in cultivation, reaching an unfathomably profound level, where one’s aura becomes so condensed and controlled as to create this illusion.
Lin Shikang surveyed the entire assembly, his eyes meeting those of his younger kindred, then strode energetically toward the high chair waiting for him, looking thrilled.
