Clan Cultivation: Starting with Plundering Demonic Beast Talents

Two months later, at Ziyang Pavilion.

Lin Qingyang sat cross-legged, his hands radiating a green light, carefully channeling strands of vitality into the deep blue stone in his palms.

"The rate of recovery is quite good."

He looked up at the jade talisman.

【Frosty Phoenix (Juvenile form, severely injured and in a dormant state)】

[Vitality: (119/2000) → (131/2000)]

Lin Qingyang put away the Frost-Silent Phoenix cub, then looked at the row of talismans on the table, a look of joy on his face.

"A full twenty high-grade talismans!"

He originally intended to make a name for himself by exchanging high-grade talismans with the rogue cultivators, but the talismans proved to be of great use, and several rogue cultivators even offered him three Shadow Wolf pelts.

The three wolf king pelts were of excellent quality, and he made them into twenty talismans, which, together with the thirty talismans he had previously exchanged for six high-grade spirit talismans, were used to make talismans.

A full fifty talismans!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he devoted himself to drawing the Rejuvenation Talisman, and finally improved his talisman skills. Now, the success rate of refining the Rejuvenation Talisman has increased to 50%!

[Rejuvenation Charm: Proficient (26/200) → Master (3/400)]

This means that he can use two high-grade demon beast hides to draw five high-grade spirit talismans. After deducting the cost of the two talismans, the remaining three can be used to exchange for pills!

I was just thinking about it.

A message talisman flew in.

Upon receiving it, a smile appeared on his face, and he used a hand seal to open the array's restrictions.

"Greetings, Master Lin!"

The person who came to visit was Liu Yuxian, the manager of Baibaoge. She presented a bottle of pills with both hands, saying, "I heard that you broke through to the late stage of Qi Refining. The Pavilion Master has been busy refining pills, so he specially sent me to present a gift to congratulate you."

"We would also like to invite you to the exchange meeting five days from now, where we hope to discuss some cooperation matters."

Lin Qingyang reached out and took the pill bottle. He glanced at it and saw that it was the Qi-Strengthening Pill he needed.

Five high-grade spirit pills, estimated to be worth over a hundred spirit stones, would barely be enough for me for a month.

"The Qi-Strengthening Pill is exactly what I need. Please give my regards to Pavilion Master Liu. I will attend the exchange meeting."

Lin Qingyang did not deny that he needed the Qi-stabilizing pill; this was something almost both parties knew.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Liu Yuxian glanced at the glittering talismans on the table, her beautiful eyes filled with undisguised surprise.

There were a full twenty Rejuvenation Talismans, which made her heart flutter.

During this time, the story of Hong Yifei and Jiang Zhuofan's demon-hunting deeds spread throughout the market. The price of the Rejuvenation Talisman was driven up to seventy spirit stones per talisman by several cultivators who also cultivated the body, but there was simply no stock available.

After seeing Liu Yuxian off, Lin Qingyang's smile deepened. "It seems that taking the first step of making a name for ourselves was the right decision."

After two months of seclusion, he went down to the first floor.

At this moment, a dozen or so cultivators inside the Hundred Talismans Pavilion are purchasing spirit talismans.

"Greetings, Master Lin."

"Senior Lin, may I ask if the number of Water Escape Talismans can be increased?"

"Senior Lin, I also cultivate the Body. Will the Rejuvenation Talisman be available in the Hundred Talismans Pavilion later?"

Upon seeing Lin Qingyang, everyone hurriedly stepped forward to exchange pleasantries. Whether it was the Water Escape Talisman or the Rejuvenation Talisman he had drawn, they were treasures that rogue cultivators were eager to possess.

Supervisor Lin Qingwan quickly came over to maintain order.

With the help of the ten talisman papers provided by Lin Qingyang, she successfully drew a rock wall talisman and became a top-grade talisman master!

Lin Qingyang nodded slightly to the group of rogue cultivators, took out five Rejuvenation Talismans from his storage bag, and handed them to her in front of everyone. "Qingwan, put these five talismans into the family shop."

Many independent cultivators stared at the talisman, breathing heavily. If they weren't in the market, they probably would have fought over it.

He then looked at everyone and said, "Thank you all for your support of Hundred Talisman Pavilion. At the latest, high-grade talismans will be available for sale in three days. We hope you will continue to support us."

Then, he pulled several managers and Lin Qingwan into the inner courtyard and made it clear that, "On the first day of sale, two high-grade Rejuvenation Talismans will likely attract a lot of people. The price will be 60 spirit stones."

"Deacon Qingyang, the talisman you drew has extraordinary effects, but isn't it a bit underwhelming?"

Lin Qingwan now respects him very much.

Lin Qingyang shook his head, glanced at everyone, and said, "The price doesn't need to be changed. If multiple people are interested in buying, we'll prioritize them based on their past spending amounts."

"This news will not be leaked. After the two talismans are sold, an announcement will be made on the same day. The remaining three talismans will be sold at the end of the month. Furthermore, the purchase priority of any high-grade talismans sold by the Lin family afterward will still be determined according to the amount of money spent."

Those present were all seasoned veterans of the market, and they quickly grasped the effect.

Those independent cultivators who couldn't buy talismans on the first day due to insufficient quota will likely bring along a few friends to purchase mid-to-low-grade talismans from the Lin family. At that time, the business of the Hundred Talisman Pavilion is expected to experience a large-scale increase.

"I respectfully obey your orders."

The crowd echoed in unison.

……

Five days passed in the blink of an eye, and the exchange meeting was about to begin.

Lin Qingyang left home early and stepped into the Treasure Pavilion.

Unlike before.

This time, as soon as Lin Qingyang entered, someone came to greet him, and it was Liu Yuxuan herself who led him all the way into the exchange room.

The two found a spot at the front and sat down.

This time, Lin Qingyang did not refuse. The highest level of the exchange was only late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, so he didn't need to be as cautious as last time.

Most of the people who came to the exchange were late-stage Qi Refining cultivators. Naturally, they had heard about the effects of the high-quality Rejuvenation Talisman and came to say hello. In particular, several Body Refining cultivators offered a price of eighty spirit stones per talisman.

In response, Lin Qingyang simply stated that he would consider taking out a few talismans at the exchange meeting, or that they could be purchased from the Hundred Talisman Pavilion.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, your reputation has spread throughout Cangshan County. Body-refining rogue cultivators from the surrounding four markets are all rushing here."

Liu Yuxuan was quite surprised to see this, as she even encountered cultivators from the neighboring Lishan County here.

The news spread to Nanhefang in less than a month, and it actually attracted cultivators from the neighboring prefecture.

"Master Liu was able to refine first-grade high-quality spiritual pills at the age of twenty-something. My little reputation is not worth mentioning."

Lin Qingyang was very polite, after all, the Liu family had the Purple Mansion in charge.

Even now, his status is far inferior to that of the Foundation Establishment disciple in front of him, who is expected to become a second-tier alchemist and the Pavilion Master of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.

The two then chatted for a few more minutes, but Liu Yuxuan made no mention of the collaboration.

She didn't speak until the exchange meeting was about to begin.

"I am aware of Fellow Daoist Lin's need for the Qi-Strengthening Pill, so I will exchange the talisman for the pill."

"Currently, the price I can offer is five pills per bottle, a one-month supply, which can be exchanged for at least two high-grade Rejuvenation Talismans."

Lin Qingyang frowned. At this exchange rate, one Rejuvenation Talisman was equivalent to only sixty spirit stones, which was the same price he set at the Hundred Talisman Pavilion. However, that price was relatively low, and the discounted price would be recouped from the sales of other talismans in the family.

He was not entirely satisfied, so he looked up at Liu Yuxuan, believing that she would give him an explanation.

"Fellow Daoist Lin can make a decision after the exchange meeting ends."

Liu Yuxuan smiled but didn't say much. She just sat quietly and looked at the people in the exchange meeting.

Soon, around the halfway point...

Liu Yuxuan stood up, walked onto the stage in a few steps, and bowed to the crowd. "Thank you all for giving me face. With the help of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion's exchange meeting, Yuxuan's alchemy skills have finally made a breakthrough."

"This batch of pills will be sold here through auction."

As soon as she finished speaking, she took out a jade box from her storage bag.

The crowd was stunned for a moment, then looked surprised.

The art of alchemy differs from talisman drawing; there is no such thing as a first-grade top-quality pill. If the attempt fails, the pill is rendered useless.

Liu Yuxuan was already a top-grade alchemist many years ago. If she continues to break through?

A rich fragrance of cinnamon filled the air.

The jade box was opened, revealing three pills the size of longan fruits.

Its crimson patterns clearly indicate that it is a second-tier elixir.
