Chapter 1431: Chapter 1431: Four Months Ahead of Schedule

Upon hearing this feedback, Lin Tian thought to himself: So that’s it.

Tomorrow is Wang Sijing’s wedding day. It’s understandable that members from various family clans come visit me first with gifts, perhaps fearing some displeasure. But when Ms Zhao told me that the gifts they brought almost couldn’t fit in the basement, that’s not normal...

The things sent by these family clans are definitely not ordinary. Each item is worth a fortune. The sheer number suggests that they are seeking something significant, and it’s no trivial matter.

As expected, Lin Tian guessed it all correctly.

But he didn’t anticipate that it was because of the Spiritual Qi cultivation method.

As for Xv Jiazhi, the gifts he sent were very simple – just a landscape painting he made himself and some words, which only demonstrates the closeness between mentor and disciple.

Additionally, Lin Tian thought Miss Tan’s analogy earlier was very apt!

The Spiritual Qi cultivation method he provided to the family clans at Luoyan Dock had loopholes, but it was only a transitional phase. There were still two phases before they could completely convert Inner Strength into Spiritual Qi.

It’s a long and difficult process, but members of these family clans would definitely be eager. They can feel themselves getting stronger. Moreover, cultivating Inner Strength is also a tedious and lengthy process, and they are used to it.

But with their current state of cultivation, it seems like the Spiritual Qi is diluted, as if it’s mixed with water, doesn’t it?

That’s a normal process because they have to continue to the second phase.

What’s abnormal is that the time for this first phase should have shown results about four months later, so why has it accelerated so much?

If Xv Jiazhi discovered the method of Spiritual Qi cultivation because of his exceptional talent, but so many people experiencing the same thing can’t be ignored.

Lin Tian rubbed his chin, his eyes rolling back and forth, deep in thought.

In the end, he couldn’t figure out the cause of this change. It’s not something one can know just by thinking.

"When did this situation start happening?" Lin Tian looked up and asked.

"Just these recent days. Only when taking Dan medicine or using the Spirit Gathering Town does the Spiritual Qi become dense."

Lin Tian asked again, "Could it be that the Spiritual Qi concentration inside Luoyan Dock is a bit low?"

"No way."

"Although Luoyan Dock is located in the outskirts, it’s one of the places with the densest Spiritual Qi in the entire Celestial Dragon Continent."

"And Luoyan Dock has an array in Spirit Gathering Town. Although that Array isn’t very powerful, it should never cause a thinning of Spiritual Qi."

The crowd spoke one by one, clearly as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

"Alright, I’ve mostly understood the situation you’ve mentioned. Please, everyone, keep calm. This is a normal phenomenon."

Hearing Lin Tian say this left everyone dumbfounded. What? A normal phenomenon? Is he kidding?

They didn’t speak, but their faces clearly expressed this.

Lin Tian lightly laughed and said, "Transforming Inner Strength is inherently a complicated matter. Do you all believe that with just some medicinal assistance and the Spirit Gathering Town, it can be done?"

Everyone’s expressions drastically changed, and Miss Tan’s red lips slightly parted as she asked, "What do you mean, Mr. Lin?"

Lin Tian laughed and said, "There are three phases to converting to Spiritual Qi. Your current state is only the end of the first phase."

"What?!"

"So there are two more phases?"

"Mr. Lin, why didn’t you say so earlier? We’ve been scared out of our wits during this time."

As the saying goes, one should never be without some vigilance. These were Lin Tian’s reserved tricks. Naturally, he couldn’t disclose them too early.

Lin Tian lightly laughed and said, "Originally, this first phase was supposed to take about six months. I didn’t expect it to advance so much earlier. I didn’t tell you before because I was afraid you would rush things, a haste that cannot be achieved."

"I see... will advancing so much early lead to any problems?"

Lin Tian shrugged, "I don’t know about that."

"..."

Seeing his careless appearance made everyone quite infuriated. But there’s nothing they can do; they can’t question him, right? Not just the younger generation, even the patriarch of these great families wouldn’t dare do that. Unless they want to end up like the Wang Family, blacklisted.

Someone asked again, "Can you tell us the cultivation method for the second phase now? Ending the phase early shouldn’t be a big issue."

"Yes, can we now move on to the second phase?"

At this moment, Li Shan chuckled bitterly and said, "It’s not that easy. I think Mr. Lin must have conditions, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces drooped. They’ve heard about Lin Tian’s nature, a notorious ’extortionist.’ Want a free lunch? Dream on!

Nobody expected that after hearing this, Lin Tian turned and gave Li Shan a glare, displeased, and said, "Don’t speak nonsense, am I such a person?"

You absolutely are!!

Everyone mumbled in their hearts, but they didn’t dare speak out loud. They just eagerly looked at Lin Tian, waiting for his next words.

"I can give you all the cultivation method for the second phase. However, the third phase is off-limits, for the same reasons as before. I hope everyone doesn’t aim too high."

Lin Tian offering the second phase method for free already won over many hearts. Though there was a bit of disappointment that he wouldn’t offer the third phase, they could understand. That guy always holds something back.

Lin Tian continued, "Even after I give you the method for the second phase, I still hope everyone proceeds cautiously. The first phase advancing by four months is extremely unusual. How you choose, I won’t interfere with; it’s up to you. If things go awry, don’t blame me."

Everyone’s enthusiasm, once burning hot, now felt doused with cold water, thoroughly chilled.

With such words... who dares to train now? Are they crazy?

"Haha, don’t look so grim. I’m just saying in case. Your current state completely matches the end of the first phase; otherwise, I wouldn’t give you the second phase. If you are to train, it’s better within your capabilities."

This just made things more complicated, more entangled. Was Lin Tian playing with everyone?

"When will you give us the second phase cultivation method?" someone asked.

"I’ll send it to each family clan via email before tonight."

"Thank you, Mr. Lin."

Everyone cupped their hands in thanks to Lin Tian. After discussing business, seeing that Lin Tian had no intention of inviting them for a meal, they all got up and bid farewell. Lin Tian escorted this group of young people to the door, only to find Xv Jiazhi hadn’t left yet, clearly wanting to say more to Lin Tian.
