Clan Cultivation: Starting with Plundering Demonic Beast Talents

It took Lin Qingyang half an hour to come up with a preliminary plan for the use of Daoist rhyme.

It takes three drops of second-tier demonic beast blood to obtain thirty points of Daoist essence.

Unless it is an extremely rare talent, such as a spatial talent or the kind of talent that is particularly hard to find, like the essence blood of a demon beast.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have used Daoist principles so easily.

Of course, Lin Qingyang still wanted to try it out to see its effects.

"It would be best to find a method that is extremely difficult to cultivate."

Lin Qingyang's eyes lit up, and he took out a jade slip from his bosom. This was the "Spirit Source Water Control Technique".

It also includes a divine power for refining innate spiritual water called "Heavenly One Water Condensation Technique".

Although refining innate spiritual water after mastering the cultivation can increase the probability of breaking through to the Purple Mansion stage, the difficulty of cultivation is exceptionally high!

It is said that after Taiyan Laozu obtained it, he studied it for several years, but made no progress whatsoever.

Over the centuries, no one from the Lin family has entered the family.

After Lin Qingyang began practicing the cultivation method, he spent half a month trying to comprehend it. However, the content was too obscure and difficult to understand, like reading a wordless book, so he gave up.

Now that I have obtained such an opportunity as the Daoist Rhyme, I naturally want to give it a try.

Not to mention, after practicing this technique, one can sense the innate spiritual water within a radius of several miles.

According to the jade slip, the best time to refine innate spiritual water is during the Qi Refining stage.

At this point, a fist-sized amount of innate spiritual water is enough to temper the dantian. As strength increases, this spiritual water will grow stronger as it is tempered into the dantian, thereby increasing the probability of advancing to the Purple Mansion stage.

However, if a Foundation Establishment cultivator were to refine innate spiritual water, it would need to be at least the size of a millstone, nearly twenty times the original size, making it extremely difficult even for a Golden Core cultivator to search for.

It is precisely because of the dual requirements of comprehension and resources that the Lin family's martial arts technique has not attracted covetousness.

"Daoyun, add some more."

Lin Qingyang sat down cross-legged, and with a thought, a wisp of blue pattern on the jade talisman disappeared.

At the same time, in his mind, the obscure words in the Heavenly One Condensing Water Technique, after being enveloped by a golden light, were transformed into profound insights through deduction.

It took about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Lin Qingyang reopened his eyes, raised his hand and made a strange hand seal, accompanied by a peculiar sound.

The water elemental energy in the air gathered towards his dantian, and in just a few breaths, it condensed into a sky-blue talisman. The patterns on its surface were more than ten times more complex than those of a top-grade Rejuvenation Talisman.

The talisman quickly dimmed and floated within the dantian.

If there is innate spiritual water within a radius of several miles, this Heavenly True Talisman will light up.

A smile involuntarily appeared on Lin Qingyang's face, then he looked at the jade talisman with a pang of regret.

[Taoist Rhyme: 20]

[Heavenly One Water Condensation Technique: Beginner (10/100)]

"Daoist essence is not easy to obtain, so it should be used in crucial places later."

Lin Qingyang did not regret deducing the "Heavenly One Condensing Water Technique," after all, he still had thirty years before breaking through the Foundation Establishment stage.

If I master this technique as soon as possible, I might encounter such an opportunity while traveling around.

If one fails to master this technique, one might miss an opportunity without even realizing it, which would be a great pity.

……

The next day, at noon.

Lin Qingyang moved again, from Qinglingxuan to Lingyunge.

"Qingyang, now that's great, we're neighbors."

Lin Qinggui walked over from the attic next door and took out his newly researched spiritual cuisine from his storage bag.

"We won't be staying for long, at most half a month, before we have to return to Nanhefang."

Lin Qingyang accepted the spiritual meal, slightly surprised, "You've made quite a bit of progress these past few years."

He placed the spiritual food on the table; the three blue-clawed crabs were entirely red.

But none of them were as perfect as the red-tailed spirit fish in the middle, which was neatly divided into pieces of fish meat.

Its spiritual energy concentration has already surpassed that of a mid-grade spiritual pill, and is even higher than the Qi Gathering Pill he took before.

Including the previous bluefish shreds, Lin Qinggui's spiritual cuisine skills have advanced by leaps and bounds in just a few years, creating two kinds of first-grade low-quality spiritual cuisine and one kind of second-grade mid-quality spiritual cuisine.

Once he establishes a good reputation in Nanhefang, his annual income will be at least several hundred spirit stones, and he estimates that his share will be at least one hundred spirit stones.

This is comparable to what a rogue cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining in Nanhefang could obtain in a year by hunting demons.

"Hehe, it's all thanks to you speaking up for me to Elder Zongbai, otherwise I don't know when my spiritual dishes would have been available at Nanhefang."

Lin Qinggui took out a few more side dishes, and seeing that there was no spirit wine, he slapped his forehead, "It's my fault, I forgot to buy a few jars of spirit wine."

As he spoke, he headed towards the family's internal affairs hall.

"No need. My father brewed some spirit rice wine years ago, and buried several jars yesterday. Let's open another jar today as a celebration for you."

Lin Qingyang stopped him, took out a jar of spirit wine from the corner, and looked at the faded "Xian" character on the jar, which reminded him of the jade slip found at the bottom of the jar.

At that time, I was only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining and couldn't open the jade slip.

He had broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining a few days ago, but he hadn't thought about it for a moment.

About half an hour later, they escorted the completely drunk Lin Qinggui back to the attic next door.

Lin Qingyang then returned to his cave, activated the protective formation, and took out the blue jade slip from his storage bag. The surface of the jade slip was engraved with more than a dozen sealing runes.

"Come on, let me see what my father left me."

He was very curious, so he began to channel his magic into it, and one by one, the sealing runes began to glow.

This sealing rune requires a sufficient amount of mana to be input in one go; otherwise, it will need to be started all over again next time.

"No wonder Dad's message can only be opened at the late stage of Qi Refining."

Lin Qingyang's face turned slightly pale. Even with his cultivation level of the seventh level of Qi Refining and the decent Lingyuan Water Control Technique, he still consumed nearly 70% of his mana.

The final sealing rune was infused with spiritual power, and the restriction dissipated.

The jade slip released a spiritual light, forming a map and over a hundred characters.

Lin Qingyang scanned the area with his divine sense, then seemed to understand something. "So it turns out that my father discovered a cave dwelling back then. The power of the outer array reached the middle level of the second rank, and it was suspected to be the cave dwelling of a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

"There were other cultivators nearby, and the fight between them led to my serious injury."

After thinking for a moment, he decided to postpone his trip to this cave. Back then, his father, Lin Zongxian, was already a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining. The cultivator who could cause him to be seriously injured must be quite powerful.

Most importantly, high-level cultivators often come from cultivation families or sects, and the treasures they possess are usually left behind by their respective factions.

Therefore, many of these cave dwellings belonging to predecessors are traps set by demonic cultivators.

If they fall into his hands, they will often be controlled by him using demonic methods, their lives and deaths will be out of their own hands, and they will be turned into mindless demonic puppets, and their families may even be implicated.

A safer approach would be to wait until one's cultivation level improves, ideally until the [Mingqing Spirit Eye] talent is mastered. At that time, one can observe the situation in advance, which would be much safer.

Therefore, the upcoming Nanhe Small Meeting, where the four families will compete and exchange skills, will be very important.

The clan leader's promises, whether it was the six Foundation Establishment Pills or the opportunity to enter the treasury to select spiritual items, were opportunities he couldn't miss.

He will try his best to improve his cultivation level in the next six months.

……

He did not stay in Lingyun Pavilion for long, and having already been promoted to steward, he was sent to Nanhefang by his family three days later.

Lin Qinggui, Lin Qingyu, and Lin Qingping also went along.

Lin Qinggui used to run the spiritual food business. He sourced ingredients locally in the market, which saved him the cost of transporting the spiritual food back and forth.

Lin Qingyang was quite happy to have the two sisters accompany him, since he had heard that they possessed second-tier spirit talismans, which would ensure their safety along the way.

At this moment, inside the carriage in the middle.

The sisters were somewhat excited, after all, they had been taken to Qingchi Mountain in their childhood and had cultivated there for more than 20 years without ever leaving the mountain.

"Sister, this trip to Nanhefang is going to be a great opportunity to explore. The mountain is so boring."

"And there's the Nanhe Small Gathering. The last one was twenty years ago, before we even started cultivating."

Lin Qingyu kept talking.

Lin Qingping frowned slightly, but didn't say much. She only gave a word of advice: "Once we enter the market, let's familiarize ourselves with the local rules first, and don't break any taboos that could cause trouble for the family."

"In addition, the Four Clans Gathering is approaching, so we should also find out about the Foundation Establishment seeds of other clans as soon as possible."

Compared to her younger sister Lin Qingyu, she was noticeably more composed.
