Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 65: Heavenly Book Relics
In the underground cave of Wanshou Mountain, Lin Qingyue and Lin Chuanli compared the sand table map for a long time, and gradually figured out the direction of the formation by using the overall situation to deduce it.

From this, we know who designed the blood-sucking cave:

"Lin Tianshu was a genius of my Lin family more than a hundred years ago. He was extremely talented in formations. At the age of forty-seven, he was already a third-level formation master. Under the training of his family, he was promoted to the foundation-building stage. At the age of one hundred and seventy-two, he was promoted to a fourth-level formation master. The formations he set up were difficult for even elders at the Condensing Evil and Refining Gang realms to decipher."

"It's a pity that he was too obsessed with studying formations and neglected his cultivation. Although the family tried their best to train him, he failed to break through after taking the Meridian Protection Pill five times. The family is really unable to continue supporting him."

Five meridian protection pills?
When Lu Cheng heard this number, he secretly sighed at the generosity of Ranmu Mountain.

Although it is not like the ancient times, the Meridian Protecting Pill needs to be smelted with the inner elixir of a fifth-order golden elixir-level monster. With the deduction and improvement of the external alchemy method, the Meridian Protecting Pill can be refined with specific elixirs or the inner elixir of a fourth-order monster.

But even so, the value of one Meridian Protecting Pill is at least 100,000 low-grade spirit stones, and five Meridian Protecting Pills are 500,000.

No wonder even the Ranmushanlin family couldn’t hold on.

“Although Lin Tianshu has made many contributions to the family, and even had many creations and records in the family’s formation enlightenment, the family has already done its best... Who knows…”

"He actually took advantage of his familiarity with the family's mountain protection formation to steal a large number of the family's classics and treasures and defected. The loss caused the family to fail to recover for hundreds of years."

With the mentality and meticulousness of a fourth-rank formation master, it is indeed possible to ambush a family of immortal cultivators and successfully escape if he is given enough time to make arrangements. It is obvious that Lin Tianshu succeeded, otherwise there would not be this strange tomb arrangement.

"I didn't expect that after hiding in the Southeast Forest for a hundred years, Lin Tianshu would sneak back to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain and quietly set up this formation...to seize the Yuansha of heaven and earth and set up a situation of rebirth. If I hadn't read his notes and discovered the Blood-sucking Cave, I would never have found this tomb. The formation is perfectly integrated with the geographical environment of the mountains and rivers."

Lin Chuanli once again bent over the sand table and couldn't help but sigh.

"Perhaps, he intended for us to discover it. This cave was originally built by Lin Tianshu. How could he not know the function of the mirror array? If he succeeds in condensing the evil spirit and escaping, he can naturally return to the family to apologize. If he fails, every time there is a beast tide, our Lin family members are likely to discover the abnormality here! Let us take back the family treasure."

Lin Qingyue said this while standing on the side of the sand table.

Lin Chuanli stood up and looked at Lin Qingyue, and there was a strange look in both of their eyes: Although they were members of the Lin family, who wouldn't want the countless wealth that Lin Tianshu took away that year?
What's more, these riches have already been lost by the family. If he gets them, it will not harm the family but will benefit his own path.

Inside the central stone chamber, everyone was present at this moment. Lin Chuanli and Lin Qingyue spoke out their words, and they were intentionally involving everyone.

"Well, Xiaodie and I won't get involved in this matter."

Yuan Wuwang took a step back and held his daughter's hand. He now just wanted to get the share of the profits that belonged to him and his daughter safely.

As for the matter of the ancient tomb that could reverse life and death, neither he nor his daughter would get involved.

Who knew that as soon as Yuan Wuwang finished speaking, Lin Chuanli picked up four Qiankun bags and walked in front of the father and daughter. "Lin Lie, Lin Tianshu's life span must have run out. Even if he set up the formation during his lifetime, there is no one to manage it after his death. The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain is not where the spiritual vein is. The formation will not have even one-tenth or one-twelfth of its original power. Let's go together. The wealth inside is enough for us not to risk resources for cultivation before we reach the Golden Core stage."

To change your destiny, it is enough to seize one or two big opportunities.

Lin Qingyue is an expert in business. In her opinion, the benefits of exploring Lin Tianshu's tomb far outweigh the risks.

She was extremely ambitious. The Ranmu Mountain Lin Clan was restricted by the Five Prefectures Alchemy Book and had not produced a single cultivator at the Golden Elixir True Person Realm in the past thousand years. The best they could do was to use the power of external elixirs to condense a low-grade golden elixir.

But the women of the Lin family did not practice the Five Palaces Alchemy Method. If they worked hard, it would be possible for them to break through the layers of obstacles and reach the Golden Elixir Realm.

"Lin Lie, you and I will overcome this obstacle together and achieve the path in the future."

Lin Qingyue came to Lu Cheng with a pleading and determined look on her face.

Lu Cheng's original plan was to start exploring the outskirts of the City That Never Sleeps after the beast tide gradually ended, looking for a suitable descendant of the Lin family's main branch to seize the Burning Wood Mountain skills. Originally, Lin Chuanli was a good choice, but Lu Cheng did not expect that in the past six months, his relationship with Lin Qingyue had advanced by leaps and bounds.

Of course, it would be a bad idea to attack her nephew again, otherwise how would he see the beauty again if something happened in the future?

Now I heard that Lin Tianshu also stole many classics from Ranmu Mountain. Although it was beyond our plan, it is still an opportunity.

So he chuckled, and although he didn't answer, he gently embraced Lin Qingyue in his arms. The young man and woman both felt warm and at ease at this moment.

"Uncle Yuan, with these earnings, if you and Xiaodie accumulate some more spirit stones, you may be able to buy a foundation-building pill. However, the price of monster materials in the Never-Sleeping City will definitely drop significantly due to the beast tide. So, as long as you and Xiaodie help us get the Heavenly Book Relic, I, Lin Chuanli, swear on my heart of Taoism that I will definitely hand over a foundation-building pill to you two in this lifetime. If you break this oath, your path to Taoism will be cut off for the rest of your life."

Yuan Wuwang took the four Qiankun bags handed over by Lin Chuanli, and after listening to Lin Chuanli's words, his expression began to show some hesitation.

The Foundation Establishment Pill is the obsession in the hearts of countless Qi Condensation cultivators. Countless people have died from it.

Although it was only a third-grade high-quality elixir, due to its constant consumption and the huge demand in the Tongxuan Realm, its price exceeded that of most fourth-grade elixirs.

"Okay, we, father and daughter, swear on this life that we will never mention what happened today to anyone other than those present, and we will do our best to help you all get the treasure!"

Yuan Wuwang finally made up his mind. This might be the last time he would give it a try in his life.
