Clan Cultivation: Starting with Plundering Demonic Beast Talents

During the exchange meeting, everyone's doubts were resolved.

Sure enough, the Pavilion Master of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion broke through to the second-tier alchemist at the age of thirty-something!

Liu Yuxuan introduced with a smile, "This exquisite pill has a starting price of three hundred spirit stones. It can be taken when breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage to help cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining further refine their magical power and increase the success rate by half a percent."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room started breathing heavily.

"Three hundred and fifty spirit stones!"

The first to speak was the patriarch of a small family, with white hair and his eyes fixed on the pill.

One of his descendants has a mid-grade spiritual root and is over fifty years old. With this pill, he has a nearly 30% chance of breaking through.

Their Qi Refining family couldn't afford to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills, but they at least had to try to get a Linglong Pill for their clansmen.

Finally, the clan chief used four hundred spirit stones to pocket the pill.

The next two pills were auctioned off for 450 and 420 spirit stones respectively.

Lin Qingyang did not make a move, but fell into deep thought. Looking at the figure on the stage, he realized that this person had already broken through to become a second-level alchemist.

He didn't bid for the Linglong Pill either, as this pill must be taken within three years, and he still needs some time to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining.

"We can't offend the other party for a little benefit; we still have to give way."

He made a decision: this time, it was essential to relinquish some profits and cultivate a good relationship with a second-tier alchemist.

The subsequent refinement of Foundation Establishment Pills might require us to rely on others.

Next, a significant number of people went up on stage, bringing out rare spiritual items such as high-grade demon beast pelts or high-grade defensive magic weapons.

Clearly, this is giving face to the new second-tier alchemist.

Lin Qingyang naturally took the initiative to go on stage and offered three Rejuvenation Talismans in exchange.

There were four people present who were also cultivators, and they each exchanged for two Miasma Toads and one Shadow Wolf pelt.

From below the stage, Liu Yuxuan was very satisfied with this scene.

One of these three is from another prefecture. After he returns, he will let many other body-refining cultivators know that their Hundred Treasures Pavilion's exchange event can exchange for high-quality Rejuvenation Talismans.

In this way, her chances of collecting rare spiritual herbs have increased considerably.

The exchange meeting ended quickly.

Liu Yuxuan found Lin Qingyang and led him to the private room. "I really have to thank Fellow Daoist Lin. Next time, I estimate that many fellow Daoists from Lishan County will come to participate in the exchange meeting."

"If I had known earlier that Fairy Liu had broken through to the second-level alchemist, I would have simply come to her door to exchange pills."

Lin Qingyang cupped his hands slightly. Second-level alchemists held a high status, as they could refine pills for Foundation Establishment cultivators. Therefore, their status was not much lower than that of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

It wouldn't be appropriate to use my own feelings anymore.

"Fellow Daoist Lin is mistaken. I can refine second-tier spirit pills at the age of thirty."

"Firstly, there's the family tradition; secondly, there's the hundreds of spirit stones brought in annually from the exchange fair. Otherwise, without enough spirit herbs to practice, how can one improve their alchemy skills?"

Lin Qingyang nodded; that made sense.

For cultivators, having sufficient resources, such as companions, wealth, and land, is indeed crucial.

He doesn't need to consume a lot of talisman-making materials to improve his talisman-making ability, but he does need the essence of demon beasts to use the power of the jade talisman to plunder talents and complete the hard work that other talismans require for several years or even more than ten years.

As they chatted, they walked to the private room where they had first met.

Liu Yuxian came forward to greet them, saying, "Sect Master, Elder Lingchi is inside receiving the Yuan family cultivators."

"Alright then, Fellow Daoist Lin, please come with me."

Liu Yuxuan hesitated for a moment, and under Liu Yuxian's somewhat surprised gaze, she led Lin Qingyang deeper into the area.

Lin Qingyang followed him inside, and the barrier opened, revealing a pill-refining room.

In the very center was a deep blue alchemy furnace. The room was surrounded by wooden shelves with many jade boxes on them. Judging from their names, he could roughly recognize that they contained some spiritual herbs needed for alchemy.

Beside the wooden shelf, a female cultivator dressed in a sky-blue dress was flipping through an ancient scroll in her hands.

"Yu Xuan, is the exchange program over?"

"This... is Fellow Daoist Qingyang."

Yuan He looked up and saw the two people, quite surprised. His friend usually discussed business in a private room, and no one usually entered the alchemy room.

"Uncle Yuan is here to discuss business, so I have to make the best private room available."

Liu Yuxuan gave an explanation and then took out the cooperation agreement.

Lin Qingyang accepted it; the contents were that he would exchange two high-grade spirit talismans for a bottle of Qi-stabilizing pills.

Secondly, a high-grade spirit talisman can be exchanged for five sets of talisman-drawing materials.

Based on my current proficiency in crafting Rejuvenation Talismans, I can craft five talismans. Two will break even, and I'll have enough left over to exchange for Qi-Strengthening Pills.

Including the time spent refining talismans, with the aid of pills, the cultivation speed should be able to increase by 30%.

He quickly signed his name.

"Fellow Daoist Lin is a straightforward person."

Liu Yuxuan thought for a moment, then took out a round token. "I benefited somewhat from this cooperation."

"Within thirty years, Fellow Daoist Lin can use this token to exchange for a Linglong Pill at my Liu family's shops in Nanhefang or Fenghuoshan for four hundred spirit stones."

"In addition, I have some information that you definitely need. At the Nanhe Small Gathering six months from now, if we defeat the Qingyuan Sect disciples, they will offer several seventy-year-old Jade Dew Vine for you to choose from."

Lin Qingyang took the token with a solemn expression; the Linglong Pill was a minor matter.

Not to mention the Wind, Fire, and Mountain, two or three of them will be auctioned at the Nanhe Small Gathering six months later.

As a Foundation Establishment family, the Lin family should have no problem finding a Linglong Pill.

The key is the Jade Dew Vine that follows, which is the most difficult auxiliary ingredient to find in the Foundation Building Pill.

Its biggest limitation is that it can only grow on third-order spiritual veins!

Therefore, only the Qingyuan Sect can produce a stable supply, while others have to try their luck in the wilderness to obtain even one plant.

"In that case, we need to make some preparations as soon as possible."

Lin Qingyang's expression shifted slightly. He had originally planned to draw all the Rejuvenation Talismans, but it seemed he would have to save up a batch of Water Arrow Talismans for use in combat.

He stayed for less than fifteen minutes before getting up and leaving.

Yuan He asked with some curiosity, "Is it really necessary to value him so much?"

"You don't understand. Lin Qingyang's mastery of talismans is excellent. Even if he can't reach the Foundation Establishment stage, the top-grade talismans he draws later, with the enhancement of a spiritual body, are probably not much inferior to second-tier talismans."

Liu Yuxuan shook her head, took a sip of tea, and said, "Moreover, the Lin family has acquired the Cold Iron Ore Spirit Vein this time, and they will probably refine it into magic artifacts. The market in Nanhefang is not enough, so they will inevitably have to go to Fenghuoshan later."

Yuan He sighed, "You've really thought things through. Once we get to the front lines of Feng Huo Shan, the exquisite Water Escape Talismans and Rejuvenation Talismans drawn by Lin Qingyang will only be more sought after by rogue cultivators who are roaming the wilderness."

She knew that Liu Yuxuan, who had already become a second-level alchemist, would be going to Fenghuo Mountain within a year to take over the family's largest shop.

This is also half of the Liu family's revenue, with Foundation Establishment cultivators and second-tier alchemists stationed there year-round.

Once you go to Fenghuoshan, you'll need to rebuild your network of contacts. Lin Qingyang's talismans are effective and much cheaper than second-tier talismans.

Therefore, she was able to attract a large number of rogue cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining.

This is actually much more useful than the second-tier elixirs she refines.

After all, independent cultivators generally cannot afford second-tier spirit pills, and the Linglong Pill is offered at auctions every year, so there is no way to use it to expand their network.
