Chapter 1789: Chapter 922: Long-Term Investment

At this moment, upon hearing Zhou Tianlong’s detailed explanation, it was indeed as Lin Tianming had guessed beforehand.

Given the circumstances, Lin Tianming’s inner excitement grew even more intense.

Clearly, Lin Tianming was also coveting the Dragon Order, as though a precious treasure was right before his eyes, easily within reach.

However, Lin Tianming quickly calmed down.

Because to him, Zhou Tianlong, a top Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator and a Fourth Order High Order Alchemist, was already doing him a great favor by helping to refine the Buddha Heart Pill.

Now, Zhou Tianlong was gifting him a Dragon Order for no apparent reason, which truly made him feel honored and flustered.

In addition to this, Lin Tianming naturally harbored some doubts, speculating that Zhou Tianlong’s generosity might conceal some secret motives.

Thinking of these matters, Lin Tianming lost the composure and calm he previously had.

Meanwhile, the meticulous Zhou Tianlong obviously sensed Lin Tianming’s concerns.

Consequently, Zhou Tianlong then continued to speak, “Lin young friend, seeing your current demeanor, could it be that you have some worries?”

“Haha… If you do, Lin young friend, there’s no need!”

After saying this, Zhou Tianlong smiled indifferently, then explained sincerely, “I’ve already mentioned the purpose of the Dragon Order, presumably Lin young friend is aware.”

“The reason I’m giving you this treasure is mainly because I’m impressed by Lin young friend’s growth potential.”

“Hence, for the future of the Yulan Sect, I’d like to seize this opportunity for long-term investment.”

“If someday in the future, Lin young friend truly reaches the Nascent Soul Realm, you can have more exchanges with our sect, and we can look out for each other.”

“And in the future, if Lin young friend and the Lin Family behind you become strong allies of our sect, uniting in commerce, marriage, and against external enemies, that would be best.”

“Besides, if Lin young friend can cross into the legendary Divinity Transformation Stage, then possessing certain foundational conditions, you can possibly lend our sect a hand in times of existential crisis.”

“As long as the Taoist lineage continues, I won’t forget the investment and efforts I’ve made today.”

“In other words, if Lin young friend doesn’t have the opportunity to advance to higher levels, I can assure you, neither I nor the sect will pursue anything.”

“As for Lin young friend, and even the family behind you, there’s no need for any repayment.”

“These points, I can swear an oath on my Taoist heart, with no intent of deceit whatsoever.”

After saying this, Zhou Tianlong looked earnestly at Lin Tianming, his gaze seemingly full of anticipation for Lin Tianming’s response.

And at this moment, upon hearing such an explanation, Lin Tianming couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Before this, Lin Tianming indeed had many concerns and doubts.

However, after Zhou Tianlong’s explanation, which didn’t involve any other additional conditions, it was akin to offering Lin Tianming help today, in exchange for potential future returns.

Besides, if Lin Tianming falls short of Zhou Tianlong’s expectations, neither Zhou Tianlong nor the Yulan Sect would pursue any responsibilities, nor demand anything in return.

Based on these conditions, Zhou Tianlong is betting on a long-term investment for a potentially greater reward.

If the investment fails, the consequences are borne by himself and the Yulan Sect.

As the invested party, Lin Tianming and the Lin Family do not need to render anything if they lack repayment capabilities.

From this perspective, Zhou Tianlong’s actions are a grand stroke of fortune for Lin Tianming and indeed for the entire Lin Family.

Especially with the Ancient Demon Secret Realm about to open, the existence of this Dragon Order greatly enhances Lin Tianming’s strength.

After all, Zhou Tianlong, as a super powerhouse at Nascent Soul Middle Stage, possesses the might that even a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator must regard with caution.

Moreover, if used properly, combined with certain favorable timing and geographical factors, it’s possible to vanquish even a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator.

At the very least, it will cause significant troubles for the attacked Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator.

Therefore, with this immensely powerful treasure, Lin Tianming would have considerably more security on his upcoming journey to the Ancient Demon Secret Realm.

Additionally, according to Zhou Tianlong, the Dragon Order would still possess other functions after its power has been expended.

This Dragon Order signifies a certain status, even the Master of Yulan Sect Zhu Yong’an would have to be cautious upon seeing it.

In this way, merely leveraging this Dragon Order, Lin Tianming would find it much more convenient to travel throughout Yulan Country.

Also, through the Dragon Order’s presence, the Lin Family can cooperate with the Yulan Sect in multiple domains.

From these multiple perspectives, the benefits Lin Tianming gains from this Dragon Order are considerable, and the entire Lin Family will profit significantly as well.

Knowing this, Lin Tianming pondered a moment, soon becoming free of concerns.

Simultaneously, Lin Tianming prepared internally to accept Zhou Tianlong’s gift.

In his view, no matter what the future holds, he certainly wouldn’t lose out.
