Chapter 499: Chapter 286: News_1 Chapter 499: Chapter 286: News_1 Sky Dragon Pavilion, ground floor hall.

At this moment, the place was bustling with noise, as a large number of cultivators strolled inside, and the atmosphere seemed lively.

Lin Tianming stepped in, casting a glance around the ground floor hall.

Seeing his imposing entrance, a Qi Refining cultivator immediately approached to greet him.

“Welcome to our establishment, this humble one is Tang Jinhua. It’s an honor to meet the elder!”

Hearing this, and looking at the respectfully clasping-handed and neither overbearing nor servile Tang Jinhua, he indeed had the demeanor of a Tang Family member.

Lin Tianming nodded, then gestured with a wave of his hand as a greeting.

...

“Elder, if you have any requests, just mention them. If I can resolve them, I certainly will not be stingy, and if not, you may discuss them with the store owner.”

“Store owner?”

Lin Tianming’s expression remained calm, for he was out to casually explore and learn about the situation in Yuyao City.

Coming to the Sky Dragon Pavilion, he had also intended to visit the person in charge of this establishment and inquire about news of Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World.

Since Tang Jinhua brought it up, he seized the opportunity to express his wish to visit.

Having made up his mind, Lin Tianming asked, “Tang, my young friend, who is the person in charge of this establishment? Could you please take me to meet them?”

“Elder, may I ask who you are?”

Tang Jinhua looked at Lin Tianming’s face and tentatively asked, seemingly trying to ascertain his identity.

“Hehe…” Lin Tianming chuckled, and then revealed his identity.

“I am Lin Tianming, a member of the Luoyun Mountain Range Lin Family, and a good friend of your family’s Tang Xiuyuan in the Qianchuan Market!”

Upon hearing Lin Tianming declare his identity and his connection with a member of their Tang Family, Tang Jinhua immediately became much more accommodating.

Besides, Lin Tianming’s name and his prominent achievements on the Demon Hunter Leaderboard were recently hot topics among cultivators.

Although he was just a cultivator with Qi Refining cultivation, he paid close attention to the significant events in Yuyao City and was of course aware of the great reputation of Lin Tianming and the Lin Family.

With these thoughts, Tang Jinhua smiled and his tone became much more respectful.

“It turns out to be Elder Lin from Luoyun Mountain, and even a friend of my clan uncle. I have been disrespectful!”

“Not at all, not at all, Tang, my young friend, there’s no need for formalities!”

Lin Tianming smiled and waved his hand before adding, “I’m here today with the main purpose of visiting the person in charge of this establishment. I hope, Tang, my young friend, you can make the introduction!”

“Please follow me, Elder Lin!”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Tang Jinhua took the lead, walking through the main hall and guiding Lin Tianming through a passageway to the second floor.

In no time, the two arrived in front of a private room on the second floor.

At that moment, Tang Jinhua sent out a message, and soon the room’s restrictive spells were lifted, and they both entered, one after the other.

Upon entering the room, they saw a middle-aged cultivator sitting inside. He turned around without speaking, just appraising Lin Tianming.

The middle-aged cultivator wore a blue robe embroidered with a small mountain on the chest, which must be the Tang Family of Qingzhou’s clan emblem.

His aura was quite reserved, with only a faint trace showing sporadically. Those with much weaker cultivation or insufficient Divine Sense would find it hard to detect.

However, Lin Tianming was already at the Foundation Establishment Sixth Level Realm, and his Divine Sense was certainly not weaker than a cultivator of the Foundation Establishment Eighth Level. He caught the slight traces of the man’s aura.

Based on his estimation, this person’s cultivation was likely at Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, definitely not inferior to Tang Xiuyuan, who was also in charge of a shop.

While he was absorbed in his thoughts, the store owner clasped his hands and took the initiative to break the silence.

“I am Tang Xiuhe, in charge of the Sky Dragon Pavilion in Yuyao City. I pay my respects to Daoist Lin!”

“Daoist Tang, you’re too polite. I am Lin Tianming from the Luoyun Mountain Lin Family, a good friend of Tang Xiuyuan. I hope you’ll forgive my unsolicited visit today,” Lin Tianming replied with a smile.

“Haha… not at all… Daoist Lin, your talent is extraordinary, and your reputation now echoes throughout the entire Yuyao City. You’re well known to everyone!”

Tang Xiuhe said with a laugh, then gestured for Tang Jinhua to leave and immediately invited Lin Tianming to sit down for tea.

As Tang Jinhua left, only Lin Tianming and Tang Xiuhe remained in the private room.

At this point, Tang Xiuhe directly asked about Lin Tianming’s intentions.

Seeing his straightforwardness, Lin Tianming didn’t intend to withhold anything.

He took a sip from his tea cup before saying, “Daoist Tang, with your noble family’s deep resources and excellent information network within the Cultivation World, might you share some news, especially regarding the situation around Qianchuan Market?”

“Rest assured, Daoist Tang, I will not let you exert effort for nothing. Whatever the cost in Spirit Stones, I shall pay as usual!”

Upon hearing these words, Tang Xiuhe’s expression remained steady; he neither refused nor took up the offer.

After a brief silence, he finally spoke, “Daoist Lin, you needn’t be reserved. Since you and my clan brother are good friends, it’s no issue to share some news with you, especially since this information will soon be public knowledge in the Cultivation World anyway!”

Elated by Tang Xiuhe’s willingness to share some news, Lin Tianming managed to regain his composure and did not rush him, so as not to breach decorum.

Tang Xiuhe, observing Lin Tianming, was quite satisfied internally.

His willingness to share the news was not only due to the Lin Family’s reputation but also because he recognized Lin Tianming’s exceptional talent and strength. With Lin Tianming’s rise to prominence in the ongoing conflict, it was certainly worth fostering a connection with him.

After all, he was merely an outer disciple of the Tang Family, and although he managed the Sky Dragon Pavilion in Yuyao City, his cultivation and strength meant little amidst the multitude of powerful members within the Tang Family.
