Clan Cultivation: Starting with Plundering Demonic Beast Talents

After seeing Lin Qingyan off, Lin Qingyang began to go into seclusion to refine the precious Xuanming Spirit Water.

Upon opening the jade bottle, a chilling aura wafted out.

The dantian in the human body is an extremely vulnerable area.

If such cold energy were to directly enter the dantian, one would be in danger of death in less than three breaths.

Generations of cultivators naturally devised solutions.

Lin Qingyang raised his hand and formed a hand seal, his magical power surging within him, and soon a sky-blue talisman appeared.

This is the Heavenly One True Talisman, and the talisman has entered the jade bottle.

The deep blue Xuanming spiritual water was refined into the hollowed-out patterns.

Then, Lin Qingyang stored the talisman in his dantian.

After the spiritual light on the surface of the talisman was neutralized by the Xuanming spiritual water, it slowly seeped into the dantian.

Besides finding innate spiritual water, the divine power of this Heavenly True Talisman can also assist in refining.

Under these circumstances, Lin Qingyang went into seclusion for half a year.

"Water rocket!"

Lin Qingyang raised his hand and released more than a dozen water arrows as thick as tree trunks.

The experimental subject was a crystalline iron shield.

"Bang!"

Most of the ice was shattered.

At the same time, several wisps of Xuanming Qi seeped into the defensive shield, and some of the spiritual patterns within it were also damaged.

"As expected of a third-tier spiritual artifact, it can bring such a blessing effect after only refining one-tenth of it."

Lin Qingyang was already at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, but he could still sense it.

The dantian was consolidated and sublimated by the neutralized Xuanming spiritual water.

If this continues, he will be able to access his dantian ahead of time, thus refining his spiritual power ahead of schedule.

At the same time, the mysterious energy contained within the magic power also became a considerable supernatural ability.

"The only downside is that the quenching time is a bit long."

Lin Qingyang frowned slightly as he looked at his dantian, where only one-tenth of the area had been tempered.

He will need at least five more years to complete the entire tempering process.

"Well, it's worth it for the sake of the path ahead."

To ensure at least a 30% chance of condensing the Purple Mansion, he was willing to delay the Foundation Establishment process.

After all, he still has at least fifteen years before his blood and energy begin to decline at the age of sixty.

By then, the Five Elements Spiritual Fruits will be ripe, and once harvested, they can be exchanged for Foundation Establishment Pills within a year at the latest.

There's always enough time.

After thinking it over, he looked at the communication talisman in front of him.

The information inside revealed that Lin Zongbo, Lin Qingping, and Lin Qingyu had come together.

He could roughly guess what it was about.

……

Inside the quiet room of Qishui Pool.

The four elders of the Lin family gathered here.

"It's about the secret realm of Fengshan Mountain, isn't it?"

Lin Qingyang took the initiative to speak.

"Exactly."

The Lin sisters together accounted for 60% of the total, and since they lacked both the main and auxiliary ingredients for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, they were the most concerned about this secret realm.

"The two of us went to the secret realm half a year ago."

"The Purple Scale Scorpion King from back then has now advanced to the second-tier high-grade. It will be difficult for the four of us to defeat it."

"We plan to invite Lin Qinglian to participate. She will take Elder Zong Yue's place and will also bring a second-tier formation rented from the sect to suppress the Purple Scale Scorpion King."

Lin Qingping explained the situation.

"What were her conditions?"

Lin Qingyang grasped the key: the formation that could suppress second-tier high-grade demonic beasts.

At this level, the Lin family only has the Ancestral Hall, and the array set up using the earth's veins makes it impossible to move.

The price Lin Qinglian paid for lending out such a spiritual item was not small.

"As per her request, the Purple Scale Scorpion King needs to be handed over to the sect to complete the demon-slaying mission and exchange it for merit points."

Lin Qingping pointed out the key point.

Lin Qingyang was willing to participate in the first place because of the essence blood of a second-tier demon beast.

"My essence and blood must belong to me."

Lin Qingyang shook his head. Ever since he plundered the Azure Wave Void Escape talent...

He knew it was the essence blood of a second-tier high-grade demon beast.

Only the Qingyuan Sect has the resources to reliably hunt high-grade second-tier monsters near the lair of third-tier monsters.

Such a lone, high-grade second-tier demonic beast is extremely rare.

When it comes to matters of principle, there is no room for compromise.

"I understand. Then we two will give up 10% of our share to Qinglian."

"But if the Five Elements Spirit Fruit and Jade Marrow Mushroom appear, we two will still choose them first."

Lin Qingping had anticipated this and made concessions.

Lin Qingyang naturally agreed, not to mention that he had already found the Five Elements Spirit Fruit.

Even if they couldn't find it, this cave was a stroke of luck for the two of them, and they couldn't possibly covet it.

With the two of them giving up their shares, Lin Qinglian was able to gather enough to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills, and the cooperation among the four was naturally renewed.

Lin Zongyue had recovered 80% of his combat strength and had a Qi Refining Level 9 cultivation, so he temporarily took Lin Qingyang's place in command.

The remaining three headed straight for Fengshan Mountain.

After all, the sooner Lin Qinglian kills the demonic beast, the sooner she can exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills.

If the Lin family could have the support of a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Qingyuan Sect, the benefits would be extremely high.

This is also why Lin Qingping was willing to share the opportunity with him.

If Lin Qinglian were to establish her foundation first, they could use their connection to find a second-tier alchemist.

Regardless of whether they can find the main ingredient for the Foundation Establishment Pill, making connections in advance is definitely a precautionary measure.

……

Half a month later, Lin Qingyang and his two companions arrived at Fenghuoshan.

Here, they met up with Lin Qinglian and nine mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators from the Lin family.

The group headed towards the innermost part of the wilderness.

Using the combined magic of Lin Qingping and Lin Qingyu, they found the underwater entrance from back then.

Because the Ice Soul Pig clan in front of them had already been wiped out by them.

So they traveled smoothly all the way and soon arrived at the mountain peak that had initially blocked their way.

Although shrouded in purple mist, one could still see more than ten miles away, at the cave dwelling, which was the core of this secret realm.

"What a hidden realm! The spiritual energy concentration in that cave might reach the third level."

As a cultivator from a sect, Lin Qinglian could tell at a glance that this place was extraordinary.

Then, she took out three bottles of antidote pills and a set of formations from her storage bag.

"There is only one second-tier antidote pill left, so I will give it to Qingyang just in case."

"The Wind and Fire Yin-Yang Formation, with twelve Qi Refining cultivators holding formation flags, can dispel the poisonous mist and restrain the second-tier high-grade demonic beast by 50% of its combat power."

Lin Qinglian then looked at Lin Qingyang, her beautiful eyes sparkling, "Whether we can defeat the enemy depends on you, Qingyang."

The news of Lin Qingyang defeating two second-tier demonic beasts has spread throughout the affiliated forces of the Qingyuan Sect.

Even within the Qingyuan Sect, no Qi Refining cultivator could rival him.

"Once the poisonous fog is removed, things will be much easier."

Lin Qingyang nodded.

The opportunity itself belonged to the Lin Qingping sisters, and he and Lin Qinglian wanted a share of it, so naturally they had to put in a lot of effort.

Soon, twelve beams of blue and red light pierced through the purple mist.

The fierce wind stirred up the flames, burning the poisonous mist on the mountain peak, along with more than a dozen purple-scaled scorpions, to ashes.

"hiss!"

A sharp, piercing scream rang out!

Immediately, a large hole opened up in the mountainside, and a twenty-foot-long, dark purple scorpion tail instantly attacked the blue and red light barrier!

"Boom!"

The blue and red protective shield trembled wildly with spiritual light.

The twelve Qi Refining cultivators turned pale.

Lin Qinglian, who was in control of the array plate, spat out blood.

With the mana input reduced by 30%, the onslaught of gales and flames was also somewhat halted.

At the same time, a colossal creature swiftly charged toward them.

It was the Purple Scale Scorpion King, whose large pincers launched another attack.

This is the moment when the formation is at its weakest. If it takes another hit, it is very likely to be breached.

"Human cultivators, pay the price!"

The Purple Scale Scorpion King seemed to see the scene of the cultivators inside the formation being swallowed by it, and became even more ferocious.

But at a certain moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain all over his body, and he immediately adjusted his attack direction and moved his position.

A dozen or so water arrows, as thick as tree trunks and crackling with dark arcs of electricity, hurtled toward him.

It was a barrage of Yin Lightning Water Arrows released by Lin Qingyang!

The strategy of "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao".

The Purple Scale Scorpion King was not a second-tier demon beast known for its defense, and it dared not face a barrage of Yin Thunder Water Arrows comparable to a high-grade second-tier talisman.

This gave the Lin family members who were manipulating the formation time.

The formation once again unleashed its full power, trapping the monster once more!
