He indicated for Wu Zemin to allow him to examine Wu Tian. Wu Zemin hesitated, he didn't know this person at all but then he had just saved their lives and at the moment they couldn't even resist him if he decided to attack.
He felt a fire burn in his heart; he had always been the one protecting his family. He had sought soldiers and guards and authority just to protect and provide, but since this cultivation business had started he had started feeling the inadequateness of this.
Numbers and authority were useless if a cultivator could just a fireball to wipe everyone out. A flame began to burn in his heart, he wanted to be stronger.
He didn't want to see his wife and children cultivate and face stronger enemies while he just watched. He stifled his thoughts and just as he decided to allow Duanmu Lin to take a look at him, he saw Duanmu Lin and the children focus on the room behind him.
He couldn't feel it but a torrent of spiritual qi was flowing in the air, rushing towards Lin Qing's room. Her aura which had been a bit dim was rising wildly,
it shot up past the middle stage of qi gathering and onto seventh stage, eighth stage and looked ready to rush past that but then it was suppressed by her and settled at eighth stage qi gathering.
A few moments later the entrance to the room opened and Lin Qing came out, her previous sickly look was gone and in its place was a healthy glow giving her a radiant complexion.
It was clear that she had fully recovered. Duanmu Lin was a bit surprised. Even though he clearly felt her strength at the eight stage of Qi gathering she clearly brought him some unexplainable pressure.
That was simply impossible, he was a powerhouse at the false core stage, since when could he be threatened by someone at the qi gathering stage.
He really felt that this family had too many strange things. The reason he had been too enthusiastic about saving the family had been one reason. The kids. Huan Bo had been too enraged to pay attention to the people down there, he hadn't noticed that several of the children had cultivation but Duanmu Lin had.
The fact that they were so young and had actually started cultivating showed that they were definitely prodigies with exceptional spiritual roots, even in his sect the youngest they started cultivating at was nine or ten.
He had felt appreciation for talent not to mention talent from his clear sky sects territory and had gotten even more reason to intervene. Perhaps his sect could have a new crop of potential golden core prodigies.
But now he really didn't know if that had been the right decision, this family appeared too mysterious. Lin Qing didn't cower in front of him. She said gratefully "Thank you, fellow Daoist for your assistance in averting a crisis."
Although she had been in a coma, when Wu Tian had given her the eternal energy she had regained consciousness. Due to the transformation in her body she had not been able to move but she had seen everything that was happening, her heart had dropped the moment she had seen Huan Bo. He radiated strength at the false core stage and no one in her family could resist that.
She had struggled to move and assist, but she had been unable to move only watch. That was when she had noticed Wu Tian's transformation and Duanmu Lin's timely aid. She was under stably truly grateful to him.
She observed Duanmu Lin carefully and said, "I see that fellow Daoist is in a complex situation, you used the explosive pith pill to break through to the golden core stage but you have been stuck at the first stage for quite a while. I have some tips that can be useful. "
Duanmu Lin was shocked, the things she mentioned were indeed things he had gone through, some he hadn't even told anyone yet. They just thought he was polishing his foundation. A dangerous glint appeared in his eyes. "How did you know?"
Lin Qing had a graceful smile on her face, "I have seen this before, I have some knowledge about it. the explosive pith pill can indeed help in this but in your situation you have too much fire essence already. The explosive pith pill put your cultivation too much towards the fire path but you don't have pure fire spiritual roots, this made you get stuck after the breakthrough,
If you wait for a hundred years your body will automatically balance itself but why wait? If you find the cold jade marrow and take it with a calm sea pill it will help temper the influence of the explosive pith pill. It will even help you make decent strides in the golden core realm."
Duanmu Lin looked even more closely at Lin Qing; he started to feel she had a bit of an unfathomable feeling. No mere qi gathering cultivator could be so composed facing him. The gap between the golden core and the qi gathering stage was massive, not to mention there was an entire realm between them.
Moreover she had seen through his situation with a single glance, and even suggested a solution. He had been to all the famous alchemists around but none had been able to clearly state the problem as Lin Qing had. Those that had an inkling had told him that he would have to wait for a couple of years for his body to acclimatize.
He then looked behind her at Wu Tian who had emitted such a shocking might and momentum, and the few young children with a clear cultivation and concluded this family was unfathomable. Lin Qing had said that she had seen similar problems to him indicating that she closely knew a golden core cultivator who had solved this problem.
He observed Lin Qing once more and said, "thank you, fellow Daoist for your advice. May I know your how to address you." The fact that he had addressed her that way indicated that he considered her as at least an equal.
