Chapter 305: Such a Relationship

Lin Qing smiled and didn't hide anything, saying, "I am able to do so with a powerful talisman. However, I wouldn't need it if I were to encounter the same situation now."

"Oh, I see. A powerful talisman can indeed achieve that," Tian Yanzhi nodded, seemingly agreeing. However, what he was thinking in his heart was the latter part of Lin Qing's statement. What did he mean by not needing it anymore if he were to encounter the same situation now? Could it be that Lin Qing already possessed a magic treasure?

But upon further thought, that couldn't be possible. After all, a magic treasure was the strongest reliance for a Gold Core cultivator. It wasn't something simple. Each person had to use their own cultivation method to refine and create it using the Dan Fire generated after reaching the Gold Core stage. The materials used were rare and usually required years of nurturing to fully unleash its power.

How could Lin Qing, someone who had just broken through to the Gold Core stage, have a magic treasure so quickly?

"That means there must be other means," Tian Yanzhi suddenly thought of this and started to value Lin Qing even more.

He smiled again and said something that surprised Lin Qing, "Fellow Daoist Lin, can you bring your junior out for me to meet?"

"Huh? Which junior are you referring to?" Lin Qing was puzzled.

Tian Yanzhi explained, "I'm talking about the junior from the Purple Mansion who went to the Five Nations Conference with you. I have a reason that I must meet them."

"What reason is that? Can you explain it first?"

Lin Qing naturally wouldn't let Tian Yanzhi meet Lin Yuanwu without knowing the reason.

Seeing Lin Qing's response, Tian Yanzhi smiled and said something that Lin Qing didn't expect, "You may not know, but Gu Xin—"

"Are you saying that Gu Xin, the female cultivator who dual cultivated with Lin Yuanwu, is your junior?" Lin Qing couldn't believe it. He never expected that Gu Xin, who had a close relationship with Lin Yuanwu, had some connection with Tian Yanzhi.

But upon further thought, it seemed possible since she was able to produce a talisman at that time.

Tian Yanzhi nodded and added, "Actually, she's just a distant relative of mine. Due to my cultivation method, I don't have a Dao companion. Her mother has some relationship with me, and she joined my sect when she was young. We have a good relationship. After breaking through the Hundred Treasures Tower, I returned to the Endless Pleasure Sect and learned about the situation. Naturally, I wanted to meet her."

"I see." Lin Qing pondered. Tian Yanzhi wouldn't lie about this. What surprised him was that he unintentionally formed this kind of relationship with Tian Yanzhi.

After a moment of thought, Lin Qing suddenly smiled and immediately sent a secret message to Lin Yuanwu, asking him to come over.

Since becoming a Gold Core cultivator, Lin Qing's various methods had become extremely powerful. He no longer needed a messaging talisman to communicate with anyone in his Lin Family Mountain.

At this moment, calling Lin Yuanwu over, Lin Qing felt that this might be a good thing.

Lin Qing was right. It was precisely because of this relationship that Tian Yanzhi, who discovered the death of Xingyue Daoist at that time, didn't pursue it immediately.

When he found out that the person who killed Xingyue Daoist had some connection with him, he was puzzled. This matter was a blessing in disguise, so after hesitating, he didn't pursue it further. Later, he even concealed the truth from the Xingyue Sect. When he returned to the Endless Pleasure Sect and discovered his niece's abnormality, he asked her about it and connected it to Lin Qing.

Tian Yanzhi himself didn't mind this kind of thing. After all, Gu Xin's cultivation method was different from his and didn't have any restrictions. Now that he had a certain kind of in-law relationship with Lin Qing, who was already a Gold Core cultivator, he felt even more agreeable to it.

As for meeting Lin Yuanwu, it was merely a meeting between an elder and a younger generation in a certain sense.

Lin Yuanwu quickly arrived, and Tian Yanzhi was even more satisfied upon seeing him, both in terms of appearance and cultivation, he was worthy of his niece Gu Xin.

He even said something that shocked Lin Yuanwu.

"I can see that my niece also has a favorable impression of you. Why don't you two become Dao companions in the future? With me and your old ancestor, the two of you will have a smooth cultivation journey, ascending the path of the Gold Core. Isn't that beautiful?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuanwu didn't say anything and first glanced at Lin Qing.

If his own old ancestor, Lin Qing, was still at the Purple Mansion stage, he wouldn't need to say anything and could only agree. But now that his old ancestor had reached the Gold Core stage, and even had the achievement of killing a Gold Core in the Purple Mansion, Lin Yuanwu didn't hold as much reverence for Tian Yanzhi. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Senior Tian Yanzhi, to be honest, our relationship is just a transaction. It is impossible for us to become Dao companions."

"You!"

Being spoken to like this by Lin Yuanwu, Tian Yanzhi was momentarily angered.

In his opinion, this was a great opportunity. How could Lin Yuanwu, a Purple Mansion cultivator, not agree? He wanted to say something more, but feeling Lin Qing's gaze beside him, he calmed down and said calmly, "Alright then, as long as you don't regret it in the future."

At this moment, Lin Qing sent a glance to Lin Yuanwu, and naturally, Lin Yuanwu obediently left.

"Fellow Daoist Tian Yanzhi, the matters of the younger generation, let them handle it themselves," Lin Qing smiled faintly.

Tian Yanzhi also smiled and didn't mention this matter again, instead discussing cultivation matters with Lin Qing. Listening to Tian Yanzhi's words, Lin Qing gained a deeper understanding of the Gold Core stage.

The most important thing was the magical treasures.

For every Gold Core cultivator, refining their own magical treasure was of utmost importance. Not only did it require the best materials, but the refined treasure also had to be more handy. As for various types of swords and shields that Qi Refining, Foundation Building, and even Purple Mansion cultivators often liked, they were not commonly seen among Gold Core cultivators. Or rather, Gold Core magical treasures came in various shapes.

Of course, this was also because Gold Core magical treasures were powerful and not restricted by appearance. Sometimes, a bead the size of a thumb could be an excellent defensive treasure, or it could be a certain type of offensive treasure. It was difficult to judge their true purpose based on appearance alone, unlike the situation where one could tell it was an attacking weapon just by seeing its shape.

Lin Qing already had some understanding of this point, and Tian Yanzhi's abacus magical treasure left a deep impression on him. The fragment of the Heavenly Net Umbrella from Star Moon Daoist was still in his storage bag.

Tian Yanzhi also mentioned that it was possible to refine more than one magical treasure, depending on how one planned it.

Some Gold Core cultivators, like him, would focus all their energy on one powerful magical treasure, combining offense and defense, and even other abilities. This was undoubtedly the best, but it required more treasures and a longer time.

On the other hand, some Gold Core cultivators took a shortcut and would refine several ordinary and powerful magical treasures at the same time, some for offense and some for defense. This also had its benefits, as the refining process was simpler and the power of the magical treasures could be quickly unleashed. However, it would be difficult for them to grow in the future.

Upon hearing Tian Yanzhi's words, Lin Qing undoubtedly leaned towards the first option.

In addition to Tian Yanzhi's explanation, Star Moon Daoist also left a deep impression on him. Now that he thought about it, the small sword that Star Moon Daoist spat out in the second moment should have been a magical treasure he refined himself. However, it was inferior to the Heavenly Net Umbrella under the power of the talisman, and it immediately turned into nothingness. At that time, he thought it was some great technique, but now it seemed useless. Even if he had a few more treasures, they would probably be useless against powerful talismans.

This made Lin Qing feel that it was better to refine multiple magical treasures rather than specialize in one type first. After all, Star Moon Daoist was a living example of this.
