Such examples are not uncommon in the world of immortal example, those Jindan stage cultivators with no background at all, in order to obtain better conditions for retreat, so as to increase the success rate of reaching the Yuanying stage.
Generally speaking, they either seek support from some powerful forces, provide enough resources and treasures, and promise major benefits or conditions in order to get strong support from this force.
The most basic thing is a place for retreat with a high concentration of spiritual energy and which is relatively safe.
To achieve this, independent cultivators have to pay a lot of resources and owe a lot of favors to others in order to achieve a win-win situation with those forces.
Otherwise, these independent cultivators would not dare to trust others easily, let alone cooperate with those powerful forces.
Because during the period of retreat for cultivators, especially when trying to reach a high level like the Nascent Soul stage, the required environment is extremely important and they cannot be disturbed in any way.
Once the rhythm is disrupted, the breakthrough will fail at best, or even lead to the loss of life.
As a result, every cultivator pays great attention to the basic environment of retreat when breaking through a major realm.
In the current world of immortal cultivation, in addition to this kind of leverage, if those independent cultivators do not want to be bound by cause and effect, they must either look for a natural paradise to provide better conditions for their retreat.
After all, although natural paradises are rare, they do exist in the vast land of Qingzhou.
To meet the basic conditions for reaching the Nascent Soul stage, ordinary treasure lands cannot meet the requirements and are also easily disturbed by unknown factors.
Once you are disturbed, all your efforts may be wasted.
Therefore, basic conditions and environmental factors are actually quite important for those who are striving to reach the Nascent Soul stage.
And these are just environmental factors.
Beyond this, there are more monks themselves.
At the very least, a cultivator needs a sufficiently deep foundation, and most importantly, a spiritual object to form a baby.
At the same time, a certain amount of luck is required to successfully break through the Nascent Soul stage.
These few key factors are indispensable for a cultivator's breakthrough.
It is precisely from this point that we can see how much resources, manpower and material resources a cultivator needs to consume in order to reach the Nascent Soul stage.
If this were not the case, there would not be only five Nascent Soul forces in Qingzhou, nor would there be only a dozen Nascent Soul masters in total.
As an elder, Lin Shilu also wants to do his best for Lin Tianming's breakthrough, which is why he spends such a huge amount of resources.
In his opinion, as long as the success rate can be increased a little, any amount of effort the family puts in is worth it.
What's more, the family is no longer the impoverished Lin family of a hundred years ago.
At the very least, the Lin family is now a large clan with nearly 10,000 people, with more than 30 Jindan-stage cultivators under their command, including several who are in the Great Perfection realm.
As for the family's foundation, the Lin family can earn 20 to 30 million low-grade spirit stones every year just from the spiritual land industry in Jinfeng Kingdom and the offerings from some affiliated forces.
However, this is only the income from the family business, and does not include the income from the Luoyun Business Alliance, nor does it include the resources and treasures obtained by the family members through their own abilities.
If the clan members' own income is included, the Lin family's annual income in Jinfeng Country can easily exceed 50 million low-grade spirit stones.
These are the Lin family’s current foundation.
Strictly speaking, the Lin family is no worse than the top Jindan forces in Qingzhou in terms of overall strength and basic foundation.
At the very least, the foundation of most of the top Jindan forces is probably only about the same level as that of the current Lin family.
In this case, for the most important thing for the Lin family at the moment and for the future of the entire Lin family, no matter how much manpower and material resources the family pays, it is worth it in Lin Shilu's opinion.
That is why, ever since Lin Tianming came out of the ancient demon secret realm and successfully returned to the Qingyun Mountain clan land, Lin Shilu has already begun to work on Lin Tianming's retreat and breakthrough.
After more than a month of improvements, the concentration of spiritual energy in this area deep in the clan's territory is now quite high, almost as high as the concentration of spiritual energy deep in the mountain gates of those Nascent Soul forces.
Lin Tianming immediately noticed this change since he came deep into the clan’s territory.
Lin Tianming was quite satisfied with this and was also very moved.
After adjusting his mindset, Lin Tianming sat cross-legged in a secret room.
Next, he began to practice qigong and regulate his breathing to adjust himself to the best state.
Half a day later, Lin Tianming opened his eyes and felt that the state of his body had still reached its peak.
Then, he slapped his waist, and six different defensive magic weapons appeared in front of him.
Among these defensive magic weapons, two of them are actually his own defensive means.
As far as these two defensive magic weapons are concerned, the fact that they can be kept by Lin Tianming means that their power must be very strong among magic weapons of the same level.
As for the remaining four items, they were the spoils he obtained from fighting in many battles over the years and killing many Jindan-stage cultivators.
Among them is the defensive magic weapon obtained from Situ Jian, the Holy Son of the Blood Red Alliance.
In addition, there is Zhao Yang, the leader of the Blood Red Alliance’s Golden Core Guardians, whose defensive magic weapon was also left behind by Lin Tianming.
The treasures he left behind were all things that caught his eye, and each one of them was definitely the best among treasures of the same level.
These treasures had been given to Lin Shilu before, asking him to help refine them again.
To this end, Lin Shilu had already prepared for this day, and in the past few years, he had added a large number of precious treasures to these defensive magic weapons.
After Lin Shilu's refining, he spent a huge amount of money on these defensive magic weapons. As long as it could enhance their power, no matter how rare and precious the treasures were, Lin Shilu used them all.
And these added things are treasures collected by Lin Tianming and the entire Lin family in the past hundred years. Every spiritual ore or material among them is priceless in the Qingzhou cultivation world.
Even the value of some spiritual minerals or materials can no longer be described as precious and rare.
It is also through Lin Shilu's efforts that the power of these defensive magic weapons is now stronger than before.
Now, Lin Tianming plans to practice all of these defensive magic weapons before breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, so as to further enhance the affinity between the magic weapons and himself, so that he can burst out with stronger defensive power when dealing with thunder tribulations.
As for the six levels of thunder tribulation that one would have to face when reaching the Nascent Soul stage, Lin Tianming had never experienced it before, nor had he even witnessed it with his own eyes.
But in fact, he definitely wanted to know how powerful the thunder tribulation was. It was no exaggeration to say that among all the cultivators who failed to reach the Nascent Soul stage, more than half of them stopped at the last step, which was the extremely powerful and terrifying sixth-fold thunder tribulation.
From this point of view, it is enough to show how terrifying the power of the six-fold thunder tribulation is.
On the other hand, it is precisely because the thunder tribulation is too terrifying that it can better demonstrate how important defensive magic weapons are for cultivators to deal with it.
Lin Tianming had already experienced this when he was trying to reach the Jindan stage.
At that time, in order to survive the triple thunder tribulation, Lin Tianming had several defensive magic weapons destroyed by the power of thunder tribulation.
You know, the magic weapons he prepared at that time were the best among the defensive magic weapons of the same level.
As a result, after a thunder disaster, all the defensive magic weapons he carefully prepared were lost, and not even a good one was left.
Because of this, Lin Tianming felt a little painful at that time.
However, even so, in that triple thunder tribulation, Lin Tianming not only lost all his defensive magic weapons, but also suffered a lot of injuries.
It was not easy to survive the triple thunder tribulation. It took Lin Tianming a long time just to recover from his injuries and consolidate his realm.
This is enough to show the importance of these defensive magic weapons for Lin Tianming to survive the thunder tribulation in the future.
Lin Tianming obviously understood this, so in recent decades, every time he came across an excellent defensive magic weapon, he would keep it with him.
In addition, if Lin Tianming comes across some extremely rare spiritual minerals or materials, he will collect them.
He specially prepared these rare treasures to improve his defensive magic weapons.
As his cultivation level became higher and higher, Lin Tianming began to prepare for the Nascent Soul stage twenty years ago.
Today, after being refined and improved by Lin Shilu, these defensive magic weapons are even more powerful than when their previous owner was here.
Including Lin Tianming’s own two defensive magic weapons, they have also been refined and improved to varying degrees. Now their defensive capabilities are better than before, and their spirituality is also obviously much higher.
These high-quality defensive magic weapons will be one of Lin Tianming's reliances in dealing with subsequent thunder tribulations.
In order to have a greater chance of surviving the baptism of thunder, Lin Tianming still plans to practice these defensive magic weapons before passing this level, so that they can burst out with stronger defensive power when used.
With this thought in mind, Lin Tianming quickly grabbed a defensive magic weapon, then immediately sent out his spiritual sense and began to leave a deeper mark on the magic weapon.
Afterwards, he kept mobilizing his true energy and magic power, making it flow through the magic weapon.
At the same time, he also released the Blue Heart True Flame to further refine the strength of the defensive magic weapon.
Under this multi-faceted ritual, the connection between him and this defensive magic weapon became closer.
Time passes day by day.
Before I knew it, two months had passed.
After two months of refining, all the six defensive magic weapons that Lin Tianming had taken out before were refined by him using the terrifying power of the Blue Heart True Flame.
Nowadays, the affinity between him and these defensive magic weapons is obviously stronger.
In addition, the basic spirituality of these defensive magic weapons is much stronger than before.
And this result is exactly what Lin Tianming wants to see.
For this reason, with these six rare defensive magic weapons, Lin Tianming couldn't help but feel more confident about the possible coming sixfold thunder tribulation.
As the defense magic weapon was successfully refined and the effect met his expectations, Lin Tianming did not plan to go into seclusion to practice immediately in order to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, but instead prepared to take the next step.
And this step is also something he must do before he can break through to the Nascent Soul stage, which is some of the treasures he obtained in the Ancient Monster Secret Realm before.
Among them, the fourth-level Bone-cleansing Ginseng and White Heart Flower are both extremely excellent auxiliary treasures in the process of reaching the Nascent Soul stage.
According to Lin Tianming's plan, the Bone-cleansing Ginseng must be swallowed and refined before officially reaching this level.
With the help of this item, he is quite confident that he can increase his physical strength to the third level limit, which is the legendary state of perfection.
If he could succeed, then the physical strength of the third-order perfection realm would be his greatest reliance in dealing with the sixfold thunder tribulation.
For this step, Lin Tianming will not be impatient, and will not leave such a precious and rare treasure unused.
In this way, Lin Tianming planned to swallow the bone-cleansing ginseng first, and then proceed to the next step after his physical strength has improved further.
Lin Tianming made up his mind and did not intend to waste time.
So after refining the defensive magic weapon, Lin Tianming adjusted his condition as soon as possible.
Then he took out the bone-washing ginseng and placed it on the jade table in front of him.
Looking at this moment, the Bone-washing Ginseng is like a baby's arm, snow-white and crystal clear all over, and any breath it exudes has tremendous blood power.
In addition, there seems to be huge energy hidden inside the Bone Cleansing Ginseng. The moment it was placed on the jade table, the vital energy inside the entire cave began to flow uncontrollably towards the Bone Cleansing Ginseng.
In the end, these vital energies were devoured by the Bone-cleansing Ginseng, causing it to emit a richer aroma and bloom with more brilliant colors.
Seeing this scene, Lin Tianming's face showed a greedy look, and he could no longer hold back his desire.
It’s not that he is not calm enough, but this Bone-cleansing Ginseng is indeed very precious and rare in the current world of immortal cultivation.
The effect of Bone Cleansing Ginseng is such that it is a rare and miraculous medicine for those who practice physical cultivation.
With this treasure, even an ordinary cultivator with no foundation in physical training, as long as he refines all of its medicinal power and energy, it is conservatively estimated that he can directly increase his physical strength to the level of a second-grade top-grade magical weapon.
In other words, its physical strength is comparable to that of a late-stage second-order monster.
You have to know that body refining is difficult in itself. Even if it is just a small improvement in realm, it is extremely difficult for a cultivator.
Because of this, many cultivators are obviously very interested in body refining, but the resources required are too many and extremely difficult to obtain, so they have no choice but to give up on body refining.
This alone is enough to illustrate how enormous the energy of the Bone-Cleansing Ginseng is and how obvious its effect is for those who practice body cultivation.
