Chapter 464 464 269 Impacting the Boundary_1

Chapter 464: Chapter 269: Impacting the Boundary_1 Chapter 464: Chapter 269: Impacting the Boundary_1 His mind returned to focus.

Lin Tianming suddenly remembered Li Huafeng’s once-mentioned Senior Brother Xu Cheng, who had also left behind a Soundstone.

He had also mentioned that if Lin Tianming arrived at the front line, he could seek him out.

Therefore, since Xu Cheng also participated in the great battle on the front line, he must have plans to recruit a team as well.

It might be worthwhile to inquire with Li Xiuyuan about Xu Cheng’s situation, to find out who joined his team and what their strengths were.

After all, under the principle of mutual benefit, joining a stronger team would provide greater opportunities to achieve merits and ensure more safety.

Having made up his mind, he immediately asked, “Li Daoist friend, the Li Huafeng who went to the Lin Family to issue the call for recruits mentioned his Senior Brother Xu Cheng. Are you aware of his background?”

...

“Xu Cheng?”

Li Xiuyuan shook his head, then explained, “Xu Cheng is indeed a disciple of our sect with a cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Eighth Level, and he is also recruiting a team.”

“As for my side, more than twenty fellows have joined my team, most of them being at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, with two at the Seventh Level, one at the Eighth Level, and one at the Ninth Level.”

Hearing this, Lin Tianming was quite surprised; obviously, Xu Cheng’s cultivation level would not match his own.

One must know that Li Xiuyuan was at the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment a few years ago and must now be infinitely close to reaching the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

Furthermore, having been the Market City Supervisor for many years, his wide range of connections and acquaintances meant that the cultivators he could recruit were certainly not ordinary.

In such a short time, Li Xiuyuan had already recruited more than twenty cultivators, including four at the Foundation Establishment Late-Stage.

Comparing the two, Xu Cheng’s team’s overall strength was definitely not on par with Li Xiuyuan’s.

In addition, Li Xiuyuan put in a great deal of effort for the Lin Family’s Luoyun Pavilion in establishing itself in Qianchuan Market, both before and after. Coupled with his upright character and popularity…

Looking at it this way, joining Li Xiuyuan’s team seemed like the most prudent choice from every aspect.

“Lin Daoist friend, although there are many people in our sect’s team, the majority do not have a higher cultivation than me,” Li Xiuyuan offered.

“Moreover, given our relationship, I can promise that if my team eventually ranks in the top ten and secures entrance to the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm, I will certainly provide a reward,” he continued.

“If I’m fortunate enough to break through to the Golden Core Stage, I will forever remember the assistance of the Lin Family and will never refuse to help when needed in the future.”

Hearing Li Xiuyuan’s sincere persuasion, Lin Tianming nodded his head.

The reason he had not yet agreed to join was to wait for Li Xiuyuan to mention the matter of compensation; after all, it would be somewhat embarrassing to bring it up himself and he would not have the initiative.

If Li Xiuyuan brought it up himself, it couldn’t be more perfect for him.

This mattered a great deal to Lin Tianming. In his eyes, Li Xiuyuan’s talent was not lacking, and if he truly had treasures to aid in Core Formation, his chances of success were considerable.

In such circumstances, even without providing material treasures, a promise had self-evident value once he broke through to the Golden Core Stage in the future.

For the Lin Family, a promise from a Golden Core Cultivator could sometimes change the family’s fortunes.

With this in mind, he had no reason to insist any further.

At that moment, Lin Tianming laughed heartily and said, “I am flattered by Li Daoist friend’s high regard for the Lin Family and for me!”

“Li Daoist friend, you’ve already been a great help in the Market City. Given such an opportunity, I naturally wish to offer my assistance and am willing to join your team to fight side by side as a way of repaying your kindness,” Lin Tianming continued.

Hearing that Lin Tianming was willing to join his team, Li Xiuyuan nodded, his mood considerably brightened.

He had been planning and working hard for this great battle for a long time, and he had made great efforts to win over many cultivators.

Beyond those at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, the Lin Family was also a key focus of his attention.

Although Lin Tianming’s strength wasn’t the strongest among cultivators, it was certainly not to be underestimated.

Apart from that, the potential that Lin Tianming and his sister showed was simply astonishing.

Their mutual cooperation was an opportunity for both sides.

If the Lin Family fully rose to prominence, it would be a tremendous help in his own pursuit of the Golden Core Stage.

Now, having received Lin Tianming’s affirmation, Li Xiuyuan was overjoyed, and in his elated mood, he treated the two siblings with great hospitality.

…

An hour passed.

In a harmonious atmosphere, they exchanged many details about the front line.

Li Xiuyuan also introduced a few of the Foundation Establishment Late-Stage team members to him, and mentioned the list of teams they were focusing on this time.

According to him, among the disciples sent by the Zhenyang Sect to the front line this time, there were more than twenty at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection alone.

Many of these twenty disciples were the personal disciples of Golden Core Cultivators, all brilliant and outstanding, and held high status within the Zhenyang Sect.

These people, with their talents and cultivation levels, had attracted many cultivators to join their teams, with many teams exhibiting exceptional overall strength.

Aside from these twenty or so disciples, there were also quite a few at the Eighth and Ninth Levels of Foundation Establishment.

However, these individuals had limited strength and influence, mostly attracting unknown cultivators to join their ranks.

Such teams did not compare in strength to theirs and were not worth their attention.

It was only the teams formed by those more than twenty Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Cultivators that posed as their most significant competitors, whom Lin Tianming should be particularly wary of.
