Mythical Cultivation

Seeing Bai Jingxuan finally surrender, Wu Ming and the others finally felt relieved. After Bai Jingxuan used the secret technique of burning blood, his strength increased significantly. The five people present could only deal with him together. No one could defeat him in a single blow, and the five people could only barely stop him.

The Great Elder, Lin Jinfeng, suffered a broken arm, preventing him from exerting his full strength, and now suffered several more wounds. Fortunately, his life was not in danger. The other four also suffered several sword wounds. Bai Jingxuan's Four Seasons Sword Technique was unpredictable and difficult to defend against. If it weren't for the time limit on his secret technique, it's doubtful that all five of them would have survived.

"Ahao, Afeng, you two go and help the tribesmen first and deal with the remaining enemies." Lin Jinxian arranged.

With the joining of Wu Ming and Lin Hao, the remaining battle ended quickly. Soon, only the Lin family members were left on the field. Of the more than one hundred members of the family, only about a hundred were left, and all of them were injured. Fortunately, the battle was over.

"We won." said a tribesman with several wounds on his body and blood on his face.

Everyone felt like they had survived a disaster. After that, Lin Jinxian arranged for the clansmen in the mansion who were below the late stage of physical training to clean up the battlefield and treat the injured clansmen.

"You go back to the mansion for treatment first. This matter is not over yet. In an hour, we will go to the Xiao family and the Bai family and occupy their property and territory. If they resist, we will not hold back." Lin Jinxian said.

An hour later, the few of them simply treated their wounds and came to the meeting hall.

"We won today's battle. Although it was difficult, the result was good. Now it's time for us to accept the fruits of victory. Now listen to my arrangements.

Lin Hao will lead a team to take over the Bai family's land and assets to prevent them from being taken advantage of. Lin Feng will lead a team to take over the Xiao family's assets and land. If you encounter any obstacles, return and seek help. Your own safety is paramount. The two elders are seriously injured, so they should focus on recuperating first. If you have any objections, please raise them first."

Naturally, no one objected. Following Lin Jinxian's instructions, Wu Ming and Lin Hao led their men to the Xiao and Bai families respectively. They encountered no resistance during the takeover process. The Xiao and Bai family mansions were now largely deserted, especially the treasury and library, which had been completely emptied out, leaving nothing behind.

On the contrary, both families' assets are still there. This is mainly because the Xiao and Bai families never thought they would fail and hadn't made any preparations. They didn't have enough time. If they had a day, they would have already taken care of their assets. However, these things will be the Lin family's assets in the future.

Half a day later, Wu Ming and Lin Hao took over the territories and industries of the two families, arranged suitable personnel to guard them, and returned to the Lin Mansion with some of the property.

Lin Jinxian was not at the mansion either. He had gone to the City Lord's Mansion. Everyone was surprised that such a big thing had happened in Qingshi City, but the City Lord's Mansion had not made any move. According to past situations, the people from the City Lord's Mansion would have intervened long ago.

They also didn't expect that the City Lord's Mansion was now under martial law. Zhao Canglan used a secret technique during the fight for the treasure and was still recovering from his injuries. He was worried that Zhuo Dong would come back, so he ordered everyone in the City Lord's Mansion to be under martial law to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation.

Although the City Lord's Mansion remained silent, the Lin family couldn't remain silent either. Now that the outcome of the three-family struggle had come out, the Lin family also had to make a statement, so Lin Jinxian had to go to the City Lord to discuss the future division of interests.

It was already dark when Lin Jinxian returned, but the elders and the Wu Ming brothers were still waiting for him. Knowing that the City Lord's Mansion would not interfere in the conflict between the three families and that all interests would be divided according to the previous rules, the elders breathed a sigh of relief. They had been worried that the City Lord's Mansion would make exorbitant demands, which would be difficult to deal with.

"From today on, our Lin family is the only family left in Bluestone City. The Lin family's wish of over two hundred years has finally been realized in my hands. Of course, this is also inseparable from the contributions of all of you. Now it is time to reward them according to their merits. Let's discuss a suitable plan. No one's contributions must be wasted. All the members of our clan who died in the battle must be properly buried, and their families must be compensated."

"The Patriarch is right. We cannot let any of our clan members down."

The discussion lasted until late at night before they came up with a reasonable conclusion.

The next morning, Wu Ming hurried to find Lin Jinxian. Ever since Zhuo Donglai showed up yesterday, he'd been feeling a yearning, as if something about him was attracting him. Fortunately, he'd managed to control himself, but now the feeling was growing stronger, so Wu Ming couldn't wait any longer.

Yesterday, everyone was exhausted after the battle, so he didn't mention it. But today, he wanted to see what attracted him. He really didn't like the feeling of not knowing anything.

So early in the morning, he got Lin Jinxian's permission and came to the place where the spoils and corpses were collected. Finally, he found an egg-sized bead on Zhuo Donglai's body. It was the treasure that Zhuo Donglai had snatched before - the Kongming Pearl. It was the feeling brought by this bead.

"I wonder if father knows what this is?" Wu Ming pointed at the beads.

"It looks like it should be a treasure. In my memory, there are many natural treasures in this world. The Zhu fruit you ate before is one of them, but the Zhu fruit is a spiritual fruit, and so is this bead. Natural treasures include all things. If you want to know the specifics, you need to drip blood to recognize the owner. Why don't you try it?"

Seeing this, Wu Ming also picked up the bead. He saw something unusual about it: its surface was transparent, but its interior was pitch black. A closer look filled him with a deep sense of dread. After a moment's thought, Wu Ming squeezed a drop of blood from between his fingers and dripped it onto the bead. The moment the blood seeped in, Wu Ming suddenly felt something new within him. It was an indescribable feeling, like a thirsty person encountering a lake, or like a drug addict finding drugs—an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

This bead is called the Kongming Bead. It can be used to purify the spiritual energy entering the body, making it purer, and also making one's own qi and blood purer.

For ordinary people, using elixirs will make their qi and blood become weak, which requires time to purify later. Therefore, after taking a blood qi pill, you need to wait three days before taking it again. Most of this time is used to purify qi and blood.

With the Kongming Pearl, he can continue to take elixirs in the future. Does that mean that as long as he has enough elixirs, his strength can continue to improve? This pearl is indeed a good thing.

Wu Ming told Lin Jinxian the function and name of the Kongming Pearl, and Lin Jinxian also exclaimed that Wu Ming was lucky.

After that, the pearl no longer had any attraction to him. Wu Ming guessed that he might have gotten something from the Kongming Pearl. Since it had no attraction, there was no need to worry, and he casually put the pearl into his arms.

In fact, if the Kongming Pearl had only this function, the Huanglong Mansion Lord would not have allowed anyone to rob it. But the Kongming Pearl, a natural treasure, carries luck and can suppress luck, so the Huanglong Mansion Lord is determined to obtain it. However, this is only known to some high-ranking officials, and of course, Lin Jinxian, at his level, does not understand.

After returning, Wu Ming had a feeling that he might not be here long and was about to leave this world. This feeling was extremely strong. According to his own estimation, he would leave this world in no more than three days.

It has been almost a month since I came to this world. I originally thought that I needed to improve my strength to a certain level before I could leave, but I didn’t expect that time would be up unknowingly. I don’t know why, but this unclear feeling is really uncomfortable.

It seems that my understanding of the star chart is not enough. After I go back this time, I must study it carefully. I was confused when I came here, and I am also confused when I go back. This is not good.
