Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

At high noon, outside Luoyun Market.

In a lush green valley, four cultivators gathered, among them three men and one woman.

Aside from the organizer, Li Yuancheng, there were two other male cultivators, and the only female cultivator was radiant with beauty, dressed in blue palace attire with towering hair buns, akin to that of a noblewoman. She was Li Yuancheng's companion, Song Yurong.

"Daoist Li, why hasn't this kid shown up yet? If he doesn't come soon, let's not wait for him. That way, there'll be one less person to share the fruits with."

A man, visibly displeased, spoke to Li Yuancheng, seemingly confident about the journey to obtain the fruits.

"Daoist Lu, please be patient. There is still a quarter of an hour left until the appointed time, and this trip to get the fruit is not guaranteed to succeed. One more person means one more layer of security."

Before he finished speaking, a burly man flew in on a sword from the east and landed beside Li Yuancheng—it was Lin Tianming, who had altered his appearance.

Upon seeing the four people, Lin Tianming greeted them with a fist and palm salute:

"I'm late, please forgive me. My name is Chen Tian, and I greet all the fellow Daoists here, as well as this fairy maiden."

Song Yurong gracefully performed a curtsy, revealing a slight smile as she said:

"My name is Song Yurong. I greet you, Daoist Chen!"

Li Yuancheng, with a kind expression, began to introduce Lin Tianming to the others.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"This is Daoist Qiu Jinsong..."

"And this is Daoist Lu Ming..."

After exchanging greetings, everyone began to get acquainted with one another.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Li Yuancheng took out a map made from beast skin to confirm the direction, then flew toward the west with the others quickly following behind. Find more to read at empire

After flying for an entire day, from noon till evening, the group of five successfully arrived at the outskirts of the Luoyun Mountain Range.

As it was getting dark, they didn't proceed further but found a small hill to rest on for the night.

...

The next morning, the five set off again.

Two days passed, and after crossing more than a dozen peaks, covering over three hundred miles, they entered deep within the Luoyun Mountain Range.

With Li Yuancheng leading the way, the journey was rather safe, encountering very few demonic beasts, until they arrived in a valley.

Looking around, the forest was dense, and there were numerous large trees that would take several people to embrace, with mist swirling within the valley, creating an otherworldly atmosphere.

Li Yuancheng pointed toward the forest ahead and said:

"The Sky Fei Fruit Tree is within this dense forest. I stumbled upon it by accident. It's a pity that it's guarded by a pack of Wind Shadow Leopards, otherwise I would have taken the fruits long ago!"

"Wind Shadow Leopards!"

Lu Ming revealed a hint of apprehension.

Li Yuancheng's expression remained calm as he began to describe the Wind Shadow Leopards.

"These demonic beasts are extremely fast and have formidable attack power. They come and go without a trace and are very adept at ambushes. Everyone must be careful."

Saying so, Li Yuancheng took out a snow-white whip about a zhang long, a high quality spiritual artifact.

His companion Song Yurong was not to be outdone, producing a medium grade flying sword in hand.

Everyone took out their spiritual artifacts, with Lin Tianming wielding an Earth Evil Sword and holding a high quality talisman paper, ready to deal with any unexpected dangers.

Catching sight of Lin Tianming's spirit sword and talisman paper, a flicker of barely noticeable greed flashed in Lu Ming's eyes, which quickly returned to normal, revealing a highly wary expression.

Seeing that everyone was prepared, Li Yuancheng led the way deeper inside.

Soon, they reached the inner part of the valley where the trees gradually thinned, improving visibility.

At the end of their line of sight, a fruit tree about a zhang tall grew on a mound, its green and red leaves adorned with over a dozen emerald-like fruits.

"Sky Fei Fruit!"

"Indeed, there are such fruits!"

Upon seeing the treasure, Lu Ming and Qiu Jinsong called out in excitement, looking eager to proceed.

In their excitement, they were unaware that danger had already quietly approached.

Since entering the valley, Lin Tianming had his divine sense fully extended and his Eye of Five Colors open, guarding against unknown dangers, and had not relaxed for a moment, remaining cautious.

A gust of wind passed through the valley, bringing a bone-chilling coolness that made everyone shiver.

At that moment, several roars were heard.

More than fifty Wind Shadow Leopards broke into a sprint, turning into streaks of afterimages, and in a few moments, they had charged from several hundred zhang away in the dense forest to right before the group.

Looking over, among the pack of Wind Shadow Leopards, there was one at the late-stage peak, nearly breaking through to Second Order, obviously the leader of this pack. There were also six at the late-stage, and the rest were at the First Order middle and initial phases.

"Daoist Li, you said there were only about thirty, why has their number increased so much?"

Lu Ming's face turned pale as he exclaimed, questioning Li Yuancheng.

"I don't know why either; the number of Wind Shadow Leopards has almost doubled!"

"It's pointless to investigate now. It's already impossible to run away. Everyone, don't hold back. Fight with all you've got, or we're all in danger!"

No sooner had Li Yuancheng finished speaking than several late-stage Wind Shadow Leopards were already upon them. The pack leader charged straight at Lin Tianming, seemingly sensing him as the greatest threat.

After a brief moment of panic, Lin Tianming and Li Yuancheng quickly reacted, each urging on their spiritual artifacts.

Lin Tianming slashed repeatedly, his fierce sword qi forcing the pack leader to retreat. He quietly set up a Sword Array and swiftly retreated, falling back behind the others.

Li Yuancheng brandished his whip spiritual artifact, attacking left and right. The versatile whip was particularly effective against the incredibly fast Wind Shadow Leopards.

Several of the First Order initial and middle-stage Wind Shadow Leopards couldn't dodge in time and were struck by the whip, promptly ending their lives.

The rest also used their techniques, and being fully prepared, they didn't fall into disadvantage.
