Chapter 1430: Chapter 1430: Spiritual Qi Diluted

Li, Tang, and Yue were rendered speechless by the question.

As cultivators, their physiques were extremely robust. Living past a hundred was a breeze, so how could there be talk of life-threatening dangers?

The three were astute individuals and wouldn’t be easily brushed off by Xv Jiazhi’s simple words. However, a quick reconsideration made them realize this might be Lin Tian’s intent. He likely had no interest in taking on disciples and was using this as an excuse.

This made the three envy and be jealous of Xv Jiazhi even more. Lin Tian only had three disciples, two of whom were the two elders from the Family Alliance, and the cultivation technique they practiced was undoubtedly superior to those of prominent families, not to mention the pills.

It was practically a stroke of good fortune; it’s hard not to feel envious.

This topic continued, but it was too awkward to pursue, given there was no master-disciple fate.

Lin Tian took a sip of tea, put down his cup, and smiled as he asked, "Tomorrow is the day of the Wang Family’s eldest daughter’s wedding, with the feast held at their ancestral residence. Has anyone been there?"

The four provided a uniform answer. They had all been there!

Kanyue City is the birthplace of the Wang Family, where their ancestral residence is located, naturally warranting a visit.

"Master, why do you ask?"

The other three observed his expression, feeling a premonition that Lin Tian wasn’t shooting aimlessly. His enmity with the Wang Family was already irreconcilable.

"It’s nothing; I heard the Wang Family’s ancestral residence is impenetrable, making it difficult to invade. And I’ve heard there are many treasures in the geocave; are any of you interested in exploring?" Lin Tian smiled slyly, his eyes gleaming with sharpness.

He knew these ancient martial families’ offspring wouldn’t dare explore the Wang Family’s geocave, especially during Wang Sijing’s wedding. It would be akin to seeking death. They simply lacked the courage.

Indeed, once Lin Tian spoke these words, apart from Xv Jiazhi, the other three’s expressions subtly changed.

"Mr. Lin, you aren’t joking, right?" Yue Rong smiled dryly and asked.

The Wang Family’s geocave is a place to inter their ancestors, with access restricted to the Wang Family direct lineage on specific days; outsiders have no right to enter.

If Lin Tian attempted to breach it and was discovered by the Wang Family, a relentless conflict would ensue, possibly implicating the families behind them. It’s no wonder their expressions changed.

Li Shan said, "That geocave reportedly built over three hundred years, serves as the burial site for Wang Family ancestors, with myriad mechanisms inside, holding no treasures. Mr. Lin, it’s better to abandon this idea."

At this moment, Xv Jiazhi suddenly said, "I differ from the other two. We’ve all heard of the Wang Family’s geocave but never seen it; rumors state it’s perilous inside. Where did these words originate? From the Wang Family itself. If there weren’t valuable treasures, why make it so dangerous? Setting barriers is costly, and the Wang Family wouldn’t bother with unnecessary work."

Tang Zong disagreed, stating, "I differ from Mr. Xv’s viewpoint; even if treasures exist inside, what would they be? Is it worth such risk?" Besides, doesn’t Mr. Lin have everything necessary? Is there a need?"

Xv Jiazhi chuckled lightly: "If you’re scared, just say so, don’t find baseless excuses."

The previous harmonious atmosphere became tense due to Xv Jiazhi’s words. The three listened and felt displeased; men should not be deemed incompetent or fearful, which concerns not only face but principle.

Tang Zong showed a stern face, slightly darkened, and coldly said, "Mr. Xv’s words are inappropriate. We’re neither scared nor making excuses. The Wang Family residence is extremely dangerous; if intending to visit, thorough preparation is essential. Rushing recklessly is certainly irrational, wouldn’t you agree?"

Xv Jiazhi was about to speak, but Lin Tian cut in first, smiling and waving, "Alright, alright, everyone doesn’t need to argue; I was just whimsically thinking of visiting, no other intentions."

Clearly, no one believed those words, but for Lin Tian’s sake, they smiled it off.

Just then, Ms. Zhao reported, another seven guests arrived outside, five women and two men, each bearing many gifts, now waiting outside.

"Like before, place the items in the basement, and bring the others in," Lin Tian instructed Ms. Zhao.

"Alright."

Soon, Ms. Zhao led the five women and two men inside. Lin Tian somewhat recognized the seven, having seen them before at Luoyan Dock. Among them was a girl in pink clothing quite familiar to Lin Tian, surnamed Xv, Miaoqiu’s cousin.

With such a number of guests, the originally spacious house suddenly felt crowded.

The seven greeted Lin Tian and introduced themselves before being seated on the sofa.

Lin Tian observed their hesitant expressions, laughed and said, "If there’s anything, just speak directly; this hesitance only creates discomfort, right?"

His words indeed touched their hearts; they were fretting over how to begin.

"I’ll speak first. Mr. Lin, we’ve come to visit you with an important inquiry. The cultivation technique you provide for Spiritual Qi is much faster than for Inner Strength, but in almost two months, our Spiritual Qi cultivation speed seems to have slowed significantly."

The one speaking was a woman near Lin Tian’s age, beautifully poised with a feminine softness in her voice, which Lin Tian found appealing.

Lin Tian recalled her self-introduction; she belonged to the Tan Family’s direct lineage. The Tan Family is renowned for their leg techniques, unmatched by others. Miss Tan’s legs were mesmerizing, slender and proportional, not bulky but terrifyingly explosive!

Faced with a beautiful woman, especially one in good shape, Lin Tian’s demeanor lightened greatly. He responded, "On the path of cultivation, it’s akin to rowing against the tide, fast at first, slow later, isn’t that normal?"

"It’s different; everyone feels it, as if the Spiritual Qi..." She paused, organizing her speech, continued, "As if the Spiritual Qi is diluted."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian’s brow furrowed, appearing lost in thought.

The others quickly hushed, not daring to interrupt.

Though they’ve only cultivated Spiritual Qi for a month, they’ve grown accustomed to it; reverting to cultivating Inner Strength is impossible.

With their cultivation paths at stake, everyone dared not be careless.
