Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate Chapter 2227: 1138: Gathering of Geniuses (Part 2)

Evidently, no further waves of guests would hurry to the scene after this moment.

Nevertheless, representatives from the Nascent Soul Forces had yet to make their presence known even now.

The anticipation concluded at last with the arrival of the Tang Family's initial envoy, sparking renewed excitement across the whole gathering.

“That’s Fellow Daoist Tang Lifeng of the Tang Family…”

“It’s really him!”

“Obviously, for the Tang Family to send him here to offer congratulations, it clearly shows how much they value the Lin Family…”

In the midst of buzzing chatter, a refined and handsome youth with elegant looks, accompanied by a male and female cultivator, soared towards Lin Xingrong and his group.

Tang Lifeng's hearty laughter echoed from a distance well before he arrived.

“I, Tang Lifeng of the Tang Family, have come under the orders of my clan’s Clan Leader, specifically to represent the family in attending this Nascent Soul Ceremony.”

“For this, the Tang Family has specially offered up a piece of Yellow Sulfur Stone to congratulate Elder Lin on breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage…”

His words had barely ended when Tang Lifeng landed right in front of Lin Xingrong.

Clutched in his grasp was a golden stone about the size of a fist.

This fist-sized rock gleamed entirely in golden radiance, covered in intricate surface patterns. The strange aura emanating from it marked it unmistakably as Fourth Order Artifact Refining Materials.

Upon spotting this treasure and confirming it as the Fourth Order Yellow Sulfur Stone, the assembled Golden Core Stage Cultivators felt their faces heat up, inwardly marveling at the Tang Family's lavish display.

This stemmed from the fact that the Yellow Sulfur Stone's worth surpassed even the Fourth Order Artifact Refining Materials presented earlier by Wang Lusheng.

By leading with such an extravagant gift, the Tang Family demonstrated profound respect for the Lin Family and signaled that their bond ran far deeper than mere acquaintance.

After all, as a veteran Nascent Soul Forces in Qingzhou, the Tang Family had no obligation to extend such lavish courtesy otherwise.

Truth be told, ties between the Tang Family and Lin Family had long been solid, if not quite at sworn alliance levels.

Yet relative to connections with typical powers, the Tang Family's link to the Lin Family stood out as exceptionally strong.

To preserve and strengthen this amicable bond with the Lin Family, the Tang Family dispatched their top younger generation prodigy, Tang Lifeng, in person for the Nascent Soul Ceremony, while presenting the immensely precious Yellow Sulfur Stone.

These moves by the Tang Family hinted at profound intentions.

Lin Xingrong grasped this implication without delay.

Though thrilled inside, he greeted Tang Lifeng and companions with utmost warmth, graciously accepting the Tang Family's tribute.

Once the Tang Family members were settled, yet another Nascent Soul Forces delegate emerged.

On this occasion, it was Chen Yuyao, the Holy Daughter from the Thousand Melody Sect.

Her standing was far from ordinary. Boasting Golden Core Grand Perfection cultivation, she served as the Thousand Melody Sect's Chief Disciple, her prowess eclipsing the whole sect.

Chen Yuyao also ranked among Qingzhou's Top Ten Talents.

Her attendance on behalf of the Thousand Melody Sect for the Nascent Soul Ceremony underscored the sect's high regard for the occasion and their earnest intent.

The Thousand Melody Sect's gift, while marginally less valuable than the Tang Family's, remained a Fourth Order treasure nonetheless.

Lin Xingrong had every reason to embrace such offerings and could hardly spurn the Thousand Melody Sect's overtures.

Accordingly, he took the gift and hosted Chen Yuyao along with her entourage cordially.

Chen Yuyao's entrance ignited another surge of fervent whispers rippling through the assembly.

Coming from a Nascent Soul Forces and bearing the Holy Daughter title only amplified her prominence.

Moreover, as the sole woman on the famed Top Ten Talents of Qingzhou list, she commanded special notice.

Naturally, the debut of this prodigious talent captivated countless cultivators' gazes and gossip.

The atmosphere surged with even greater fervor right then.

Cultivators' conversations revolved almost solely around Chen Yuyao.

In this vibrant setting, the other Nascent Soul Forces envoys arrived successively.

En route, Sun Yushan, Chief Disciple of Yuanzhen Sect, arrived with two fellow sect brothers, senior and junior. His tribute consisted of another Fourth Order treasure.

Qingzhou's most dominant Yulan Sect dispatched their Chief Disciple, Wang Jinshan, to lead their delegation.

Wang Jinshan's offering was, of course, a Fourth Order treasure matching the Yellow Sulfur Stone's caliber from the Tang Family.

Their arrivals, paired with these premium Fourth Order treasures, elevated the venue's hype to unprecedented peaks.

These visitors left Lin Xingrong thoroughly astonished.

To him, a Lin Family member's Nascent Soul breakthrough held major significance for Qingzhou's powers, wielding considerable sway.

Still, to entrenched Nascent Soul Forces, it scarcely qualified as a world-shaking spectacle.

Sending mere regular Sect Disciples would have seemed the standard response from such Nascent Soul Forces.

Yet Lin Xingrong had lowballed the Lin Family's clout, particularly Lin Tianming's Nascent Soul advancement's ripple on these Nascent Soul Forces.

Even during his Golden Core days, Lin Tianming had unveiled horrifying aptitude and promise.

His combat feats left Qingzhou cultivators in utter disbelief.

Thus, by Late Stage Golden Core, Lin Tianming had drawn eyes from numerous Nascent Soul Stage Experts.

Now achieving Nascent Soul, and soon after slaying veteran Nascent Soul powerhouse Song Chufeng in direct confrontation…

This staggering feat imposed immense strain on plenty of Nascent Soul Stage Experts.

Thankfully, as a righteous faction with a spotless reputation through the years, the Lin Family eased concerns for certain Nascent Soul Stage Experts.

Powers like Yulan Sect and Tang Family even viewed the Lin Family as a prospective partner.

Particularly against the Blood Red Alliance, Lin Family support proved invaluable.

All these elements compelled the Nascent Soul Forces to treat the Lin Family's Nascent Soul Ceremony with utmost gravity.

Hence, aiming to build rapport and solidify bonds with the Lin Family, groups like Yulan Sect dispatched high-ranking Sect Members to offer personal felicitations at the Lin Family.

Additionally, these powers presented substantial treasures in celebration.

Beyond the fanfare, they sought for their Sect Members to glean breakthrough insights from the Nascent Soul Ceremony.

Ensuring smoother paths to Nascent Soul for themselves later on.

Exactly these dynamics drew prodigies like Wang Jinshan, Sun Yushan, Chen Yuyao, and Tang Lifeng to the Lin Family Clan Grounds today.

A moment's reflection unveiled the profound motives to Lin Xingrong.

The Lin Family welcomed these Nascent Soul Forces' overtures wholeheartedly.

Indeed, allies outnumbered foes any day.

Having freshly entered Nascent Soul Forces ranks and barely secured their position, the Lin Family tread carefully.

Compounded by their mortal grudge against the Blood Red Alliance.

In this pivotal phase, the Lin Family yearned to ally closely with fellow Nascent Soul Forces, forging unbreakable pacts.

Consequently, Lin Xingrong hosted these genius powerhouses enthusiastically, claiming their generous gifts.

Thus, capped by these Nascent Soul Forces Sect Members' grand entrances, virtually all attendees for the Nascent Soul Ceremony had gathered.

Absent Golden Elixir Forces were either too distant from Lin Family Clan Grounds or Blood Red Alliance subordinates.

Fearing later reprisals from Blood Red Alliance, those vassals understandably stayed away.

Regardless, close to four hundred Golden Elixir Forces still flocked to the Lin Family, and excluding Blood Red Alliance, all four other Nascent Soul Forces sent delegates.

These delegations featured elite young geniuses.

With such Heaven’s Chosen Sons alongside Wang Lusheng's presence, the Nascent Soul Ceremony shone brilliantly. Labeling it a genius summit would understate nothing.
