The tranquil cultivation days continued, and two years had passed since Lin Tianming broke through to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment.
During these two years, he would emerge from seclusion every six months for a brief period, assisting the family in making Second Order Pills during his spare time, and sometimes visiting the Alchemy Hall to help his grandfather instruct some of the younger clan members in alchemy.
He would also visit some of the elders or help the family handle some simple affairs, leading a life that was quite fulfilling and peaceful.
By this time, he had been on the cultivation path for nearly thirty years, and his age had quietly approached forty.
If judged by a cultivator's lifespan, he was still young, at a golden age, but in the secular world, being forty meant reaching middle age, potentially with a wife and children, and grandchildren filling the household.
