Clan Cultivation: Starting with Plundering Demonic Beast Talents

Lin Qingyang still remembers how he spent ten points of Dao essence to learn the Heavenly One True Talisman, which made him feel very distressed.

In the years that followed, the talisman remained completely silent, leading him to almost believe that the Daoist essence was wasted.

Unexpectedly, it actually worked here.

Although he couldn't detect any demonic energy, he didn't dare to be careless.

He was surrounded by twelve talismans, and the spiritual power above them was only 20%.

This means he can still use the Four-Wheel Sunflower Water Yin Thunder Arrow.

If he doesn't leave his Purple Mansion, and with the Azure Wave Void Escape talent he recently acquired, he will most likely be able to escape alive.

Enter through the cave entrance and pass through the deep, dark blue stone passage.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, his path was blocked by a barrier of light.

"Judging from the intensity of the light barrier, it has reached the level of a mid-grade second-tier formation. No wonder the three members of the Xing family are guarding outside the formation."

Lin Qingyang's expression shifted slightly as he raised his hand and released a barrage of Kui Shui Yin Thunder Arrows.

This is clearly the inner formation that is hindering the three members of the Xing family.

"Boom!"

The jet-black lightning arrow struck the light screen, dimming it considerably.

"There's no need to take it one step at a time; let's launch all three at once."

Seeing that it was effective, Lin Qingyang naturally wouldn't let go of the innate spiritual water, and released Yin Thunder Water Arrows that were comparable to three second-tier high-grade spiritual talismans.

"Pfft."

The light shield shattered instantly.

Lin Qingyang did not go in; instead, he quickly withdrew.

He stopped several miles away from the cave and raised his hand to release warning and defensive formations.

He then sat down cross-legged, swallowed the Rejuvenation Pill, and simultaneously began to re-condense the Kan Water Crystal.

Having just broken through the light barrier, his magic power was completely exhausted, and the four Yin Thunder Talismans could not give him enough sense of security.

After all, aside from demonic cultivators, some rogue cultivators also face death.

When one's Dao heart is shattered and one descends into madness, one may also lay down a killing formation to slaughter those who come after.

About a day later.

Lin Qingyang reopened his eyes, and fifteen crystals of magical power, four Yin Thunder Talismans, and eight Water Arrow Talismans appeared in his palm.

Another Kui Shui Yin Lei Arrow Formation was unleashed, equivalent to five second-tier high-grade spirit talismans for protection.

He re-entered the cave, and beyond the original light barrier, he saw a room.

Its walls were covered with prohibitions.

The surroundings were empty, except for the stone table.

Five orbs of light were placed there, two of which were already empty.

The remaining three are all second-tier spiritual items, some even extremely rare.

A second-tier mid-grade puppet beast, a second-tier defensive magic weapon, and a second-tier spirit boat.

Each of these three items far surpasses the essence blood of the Azure Scaled Water Dragon that Lin Qingyang just acquired.

A rhombus-shaped token materialized in front of Lin Qingyang. Based on the fluctuations it emitted, he could choose any one of the five orbs of light to take away.

But the innate spiritual water he wanted was not there.

He raised his hand and released the Heavenly One True Talisman, which emitted a dazzling light upon its appearance.

Then he ran around the entire room.

Lin Qingyang was somewhat puzzled and was about to take it into his palm.

They discovered that the sky-blue talisman flew in a certain direction and suddenly plunged into a jade bottle.

A humanoid puppet carrying a sword appeared out of thin air, its aura astonishing, and the jade bottle was in its palm.

Lin Qingyang naturally understood that the innate spiritual water he wanted was among them, but he dared not make any rash moves.

"A third-tier puppet beast!"

Lin Qingyang's expression was solemn. This sword-bearing puppet was just like the strongman puppet he had seen in Youhuan Mountain that restrained the human-faced dragon.

"You junior, you've actually mastered the Heavenly One Water Condensation Technique."

The sword-bearing puppet released a fluctuation of divine soul energy.

"Greetings, senior."

Lin Qingyang's heart pounded; he hadn't expected that there would actually be a Purple Mansion cultivator in this cave.

The fluctuations in one's spirit cannot be faked.

He clenched the talisman in his palm; if this person had any intention of possessing his body, he would not sit idly by and wait for death.

"Young man, there's no need to be nervous. I am merely a remnant soul of the original body and am incapable of possessing another's body."

Seeing that Lin Qingyang was quite nervous, the sword-wielding puppet raised its hand and threw out a dark red spiritual contract and a jade bottle from its palm.

"This Xuanming Spirit Water was obtained by chance when the original body entered the Youxu Secret Realm. Its grade has reached the third level."

"If you refine this item during the Qi Refining stage, your chances of advancing to the Purple Mansion stage will increase by at least 30%."

Lin Qingyang didn't look at the jade bottle, but instead looked at the spirit contract.

He might not be able to bear the price to pay for a third-tier spiritual item, a treasure of this level.

He had a premonition about the strength of the crimson chains.

It even surpasses the spirit contract that Wang Wenjing, who was at the ninth level of the Purple Mansion in the Youhuan Pool, once produced.

Even cultivators at the Purple Mansion level risk perishing if they disobey.

Lin Qingyang took the spirit contract, glanced at its contents, and his expression relaxed considerably as he pondered for a moment.

"I will not divulge what I have seen and heard here."

"After breaking through to the Purple Mansion stage, sending the senior's remains back to Zhongchizhou will not be a problem."

"But it will be difficult to train another Purple Mansion cultivator for the family of the senior."

He did not agree, for nurturing a Purple Mansion cultivator was extremely difficult.

Even the current patriarch of the Liu family was a Purple Mansion cultivator who joined the Qingyuan Sect and broke through to the Purple Mansion realm with the help of the sect's power.

A thousand years ago in Wuyang County, after the passing of the Wu family's Wuyang Master, two other Purple Mansion cultivators in his family also passed away, but they were unable to support a second Purple Mansion cultivator.

If he accepts this karma...

At that time, it will take at least several decades or even hundreds of years to gather resources in order to support a Purple Mansion cultivator.

You're mistaken.

The sword-bearing puppet shook its head. "My true form is a Golden Core cultivator. Once you break through to the Purple Mansion realm, you may come here. At that time, all your possessions from your previous life will be given to you."

Upon learning that the other person had been a Golden Core cultivator in life, Lin Qingyang's expression changed drastically. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Is it possible for this junior to refuse?"

Without saying much, the sword-wielding puppet raised its hand and activated the command token. The surrounding restrictions surged, and a third-order formation appeared.

Now Lin Qingyang understood.

If I don't agree to their conditions, I'm afraid I'll perish here today.

Even if a Kui Shui Yin Lei Sword Formation unleashed five rounds of attacks, it could at most break through a third-tier formation.

The remaining third-tier puppet beasts were beings he could not defeat no matter what.

Since the conditions of the spiritual contract were not excessive, he readily agreed and immediately left his magical power and soul imprint.

After signing the contract, the moment he even considered breaching it, his soul and magical power began to crumble.

The methods of a Golden Core cultivator leave no room for error.

……

Lin Qingyang obtained the Xuanming Spirit Water and soon left Yunfu Mountain.

The moment he left, the cave disappeared without a trace.

That is, he can sense the location through the spiritual contract in his hand.

"That's perfect."

Lin Qingyang nodded slightly. He didn't want this place to be discovered by some Golden Core cultivator and forcibly breached.

Compared to all the relics of a Golden Core cultivator, cultivating a Purple Mansion cultivator is not such a difficult task.

We returned to Qishuitan once again.

A month passed.

In a secluded, quiet room.

"Elder."

Lin Qingyan came to return the array plate.

"Yes, nothing unexpected happened while I was away."

Lin Qingyang took the array plate and examined the four sides, especially the crevice in the rock.

"You're overthinking it. You repelled both second-tier demonic beasts, so the nearby cultivators wouldn't dare to harbor any covetous thoughts."

Lin Qingyan then reported on the situation at the Cold Iron Mine and informed him of a special circumstance.

"The family has sent word that in six months, Elders Qingping and Qingyu will personally escort the Fenghuoshan transport mission."

"In addition, Elder Zongyue will also be coming to Qishuitan at the same time, supposedly to discuss important matters."

Lin Qingyang raised an eyebrow, pondered for a few moments, then waved his hand, "I understand. Bring them to see me directly later."

At this moment, the most important thing for him is to refine the Xuanming Spirit Water.
