Chapter 53 Double Happiness Arrives_1

Lin Tianming and his companion each returned to their secret chamber, estimating that it would take Ye Pinghai several months to refine the Minor Foundation Building Pill, they decided to have a short period of closed-door meditation.In the secret chamber, while Lin Tianming was healing his injuries, he also began to cultivate, the spiritual power extracted by condensing sword qi was significant, and it would require several months of diligent cultivation to replenish.

He took out a Lingshen Pill and consumed it together with a Body Strengthening Pill, feeling the powerful medicinal strength, and the spiritual power lost in condensing sword qi gradually recovered.

At the top of the Peak of Green Bamboo Mountain, within a courtyard, Lin Shigong sat motionless on a meditation cushion.

In his hand was a Jade Tube, which recorded the breakthrough processes and experiences of more than a dozen ancestors of the Lin Family. Lin Shigong pondered carefully, not daring to miss a single detail.

Not far from the courtyard, two other people were also in closed-door meditation, pondering over the Jade Tube; they were Lin Shiji and Lin Shihua.

Since Lin Shilu returned to Green Bamboo Mountain and the selection for the Foundation Establishment Pill was confirmed, Lin Shigong immediately exchanged most of the precious Spiritual Medicine he had collected, and the elixirs he had refined over the years, all for merit points.

Nearly spending half of his wealth, coupled with the merit points borrowed from Lin Tianming and Lin Shilu, they finally gathered eight thousand points and successfully exchanged for a Minor Foundation Building Pill.

Lin Shiji and Lin Shihua were the same, though both at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Stage and one as the Enforcement Hall Master and the other as the current Clan Leader, their wealth accumulation still fell short of Lin Shigong's, considering Lin Shigong was the Lin Family member with the highest level in alchemy, and his wealth was naturally more substantial.

However, as the Enforcement Hall Master and Clan Leader of the Lin Family, their wealth was not something ordinary family members could compare with; they exchanged all their accumulated resources into merit points, and after borrowing some, they also reached eight thousand points and successfully exchanged for a Minor Foundation Building Pill.

Right on the Peak of Green Bamboo Mountain, taking advantage of the thick spiritual energy at the peak, each person chose a courtyard for secluded meditation, fully committed to impacting the Foundation Establishment Stage.

After three days passed, Lin Shigong had memorized the contents of the Jade Tube, adjusted himself to the optimal state and took out a Minor Foundation Building Pill without any hesitation, and swallowed it.

In just a breath's time, his originally slightly pale cheeks instantly turned bright red. An immense amount of spiritual power almost burst his Seven Sea Dantian, causing him excruciating pain.

Lin Shigong concentrated his mind and, according to his ancestors' experiences, knew that it was time to refine the spiritual power fully, further condensing the spiritual power within the entire Qi Sea into a purer form.

Lin Shigong guided the vast spiritual energy, refining it bit by bit. Half a day passed, and he had only refined a fraction; the efficiency was exceptionally low. To complete the condensation, it would probably take a month or so.

"This won't do. I must speed up. The substantial medicinal power of the Minor Foundation Building Pill can only last for one month, and if the condensation is not completed within this timeframe, the breakthrough will fail," he thought to himself.

At this moment, Lin Shigong was utterly frenzied, completely disregarding the heart-wrenching pain, even if his orifices bled, he did not stop and continued to refine the spiritual power with all his might.

Twenty-five days passed in a flash, and Lin Shikang was sitting in his courtyard, not cultivating in seclusion, but protecting the three attempting to break through.

Only a small part of the Lin Family's core members knew that Lin Shigong and the others were attempting the breakthrough, the entire family secretly went on alert, and the Protective Clan Formation was also activated, to aid in their breakthrough.

For the past half-month, Lin Shikang was extremely anxious, constantly worried about the three individuals. Despite his restlessness, he occasionally glanced towards the courtyards of Lin Shigong and the others.

The time for the month-long duration was drawing near, with only five days remaining. Failure to break through in time would mean halting their progress for life.

Lin Shikang recalled that when he broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage in his fifties, it took only fourteen days to succeed.

Now twenty-five days had passed, and there was still no movement from the three, which was naturally worrisome.

Just then, a muffled sound came from one courtyard, followed by the fleeting pressure of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

"It's Shihua's place, haha… Shihua has successfully established his foundation!"

Overjoyed, Lin Shikang hurried out of his courtyard and flew towards the courtyard where Lin Shihua was meditating.

Inside Lin Shihua's meditation courtyard, his face was flushed red as he burst into laughter...

After entering the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Stage more than a decade ago, he finally succeeded in Foundation Establishment, feeling the surging spiritual power that was incomparable to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Stage.

After Lin Shihua finished his cultivation, he sighed in relief, walked out of the courtyard, and met Lin Shikang who came rushing over.

Lin Shikang's face brimmed with smiles as he clasped his hands together in congratulations and said,

"Shihua, congratulations on successfully entering the Foundation Establishment Stage. Our Lin Family has finally produced a third Foundation Establishment Cultivator. In order to restore our former glory, we have finally taken a step forward."

Lin Shihua's face was also flushed with color, not yet recovered from his joy, his excitement ineffable!

"Thank you, third brother, for your protection. How are the fifth and the ninth brother doing?"

Lin Shikang wore a helpless expression, smiling wryly as he replied,

"There's still no movement from Shigong and the others. We have only five days left until the one-month deadline. Whether they can succeed or not will be revealed in these few days!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shihua's face also changed dramatically, and he smiled bitterly again and again.

He had not yet recovered from the shock of his own breakthrough, and he was acutely aware of the difficulty of breaking through. That he had succeeded was already fortunate; his ninth brother, who was more than a decade older than him, would likely face even greater challenges.

The members of the Lin Family, since detecting their Spiritual Roots, had all grown up on Green Bamboo Mountain. They learned enlightenment education together, studied the knowledge of cultivation, and even learned the arts of cultivation together.

Over the years, they supported each other. Although the blood ties among many family members had become extremely thin, or even non-existent, the bond formed over decades was stronger than those between real brothers.

In the early stages of his cultivation, Lin Shihua was often taken care of by Lin Shigong. He had always admired his selflessness and even took him as a role model. It was because of his fair and prudent style of handling affairs that he was elected Clan Leader.

So, he was very hopeful that Lin Shigong would succeed.

"Shihua, you've just made a breakthrough. Return and consolidate it in seclusion. We're helpless while waiting, and as for their breakthroughs, they can only rely on themselves. I'm here to watch over things; there won't be any issues,"

"Alright, then I'll go back and consolidate first. Please take care of things here, third brother!"

With a cupped fist, Lin Shihua left to seclude himself inside the courtyard.

Four more days passed, and Lin Shikang had remained outside the courtyard where Lin Shigong and the other was in seclusion, never leaving. At this moment, Lin Shikang was sighing with regret and growing more anxious by the minute. Only one day remained, and it seemed there really was no hope left.

Suddenly, another muffled boom rang out, followed by the breath of a Foundation Establishment Stage which confronted them directly; it returned to normal within a few breaths.

Lin Shikang was instantly overjoyed, nearly rushing into the cave dwelling, but fortunately, he managed to stop himself in time!

"It's Ninth Brother, Ninth Brother did it, hahaha..."

"Ninth Brother has succeeded in Foundation Establishment!"

In the secret chamber, Lin Shigong was disheveled and covered in dried blood, his aura extremely chaotic. His previously gray-white hair was slowly turning black, and his aged face was growing visibly younger, with the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes vanishing. He looked completely like a middle-aged man.

Feeling the surging spiritual power, Lin Shigong's face was filled with astonishment, almost unable to believe!

"Have I entered the Foundation Establishment Stage? Have I really entered the Foundation Establishment Stage?"

He tried casting a spell!

Boom...

The stone table instantly shattered into pieces, feeling the surging spiritual power, which indeed was the might that only came with the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"I've succeeded, I've actually succeeded..."

Lin Shigong was suddenly overcome with tears of joy, crying profusely. If he had not succeeded this time, he could have only stopped at this stage.
