Clan Cultivation: Starting with Plundering Demonic Beast Talents

Next, clan leader Lin Yaojiang visited several other shops owned by the family.

The last stop was the most profitable family weapon-refining workshop.

Of course, this credit is largely due to the magical artifacts that the family crafted using cold iron ore.

The mid-grade defensive magic weapons, the Cold Iron Shield and the Netherfrost Sword, are the most popular among rogue cultivators, and in just half a year, they have brought the Lin family an income of over a thousand spirit stones.

Soon, the clan leader went to Nanhe Pavilion for a banquet, and everyone dispersed.

Lin Qingyu's expression was somewhat complicated. "Sister, Lin Qingyang's cultivation seems to have improved quite a bit."

"Hmm, he's a top-grade talisman master, so he probably has a stable source of Qi-stabilizing pills."

Lin Qingping nodded, with a hint of regret, "It's a pity that while our spiritual roots are decent, we truly lack talent in the various arts of cultivation."

In the past six months, the two of them had only refined two bottles of Qi-stabilizing pills, and that alone had exhausted all the spirit stones they had accumulated.

In particular, Lin Qingyu's cultivation has been somewhat lax, and his cultivation level has now been subtly surpassed by Lin Qingyang.

Lin Qingping also felt a sense of urgency. After thinking for a moment, she looked at her younger sister and said, "After this Nanhe meeting, why don't we apply to go to the Wilderness, both to hone ourselves and to earn cultivation resources?"

"Then we need to do more preparation, and it would be best to ask an uncle or elder for advice."

Lin Qingyu dared not slack off in the wilderness, even though it was said that there was a chance of encountering second-tier demonic beasts on the outskirts.

Each of them possessed a second-tier talisman, which gave them a chance to escape if they encountered a second-tier demonic beast.

……

On the other side, inside Ziyang Pavilion.

"You have no idea, we've been refining weapons day and night at Qishui Pool."

Lin Qingzhu was complaining.

"Don't say that. You've been refining weapons for half a year, you must have earned a lot of spirit stones."

Lin Qingyang poured him a cup of spiritual tea and said with a smile, "And I heard that the Youhan Sword that was sent over this time was personally forged by you?"

Lin Qingzhu was already a first-tier high-grade weapon refiner. Lin Qingwan told him this when he came out of seclusion.

"I broke through by sheer luck, unlike my cousin Qingyang, who single-handedly brings in more than two hundred spirit stones for the family each year."

He was still very happy to have broken through before Lin Qingyan, but he couldn't compare to Lin Qingyang.

Premium Rejuvenation Charms are consumables.

He was listening when Lin Qingwan was introducing things to the clan leader. After those cultivators from other counties arrived, the talismans they bought might be used up in three to five years.

Then you have to buy more.

Therefore, it can bring a continuous source of wealth to the family.

However, the crafting of the Cold Sword and Cold Iron Shield by them is different. It is normal for them to be used for more than ten years after purchase, and the market will soon be saturated.

After he left, Lin Qingyang found a small, dark blue shield in his palm, which was also a defensive magic weapon made of cold iron ore.

However, because he used several pieces of second-tier cold iron crystals, his quality had reached the first-tier high-grade level, and it was called Crystal Iron Shield.

It was none other than the high-grade defensive magic weapon that Lin Zongbo had promised to give to the male protagonist.

"Perfect for use in the battle between the four races."

Lin Qingyang's face lit up with joy as he finally refined it after several days of work.

After inputting magic power, the palm-sized shield instantly transformed into a person's height, with a layer of mystic ice as thick as a fist attached to its surface.

Because it was a high-grade defensive magic weapon, Lin Qingyang didn't hesitate and directly took out the Azure Netherworld Mother-Child Blade.

The combination of the mother and child blades was his full-force attack. People like Hong Yifei, who were wielding mid-grade defensive magic weapons, could probably only withstand a few blows.

The purple blade suddenly collided with the deep blue ice shield.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud.

The two sharp blades were deeply embedded in the ice, but they failed to penetrate it completely, probably only going halfway through.

Lin Qingyang took out the blade, and instantly the mysterious ice on the surface of the crystal iron shield surged, quickly covering the damaged part.

"A good magical artifact. The surface ice has good defensive capabilities, and it can also mobilize the surrounding ice to fill the gaps."

He was somewhat surprised, as this meant that the weakness of the shield-shaped defensive artifact had been compensated for.

Attacking the same spot repeatedly will not break through the defense.

Moreover, the surface ice is not the artifact itself, but a defensive measure formed by the combination of cold iron crystals and runes inside.

Even if it is completely broken, it can spontaneously absorb the free water elemental energy in the air to repair itself. He can even accelerate the repair process by inputting mana.

"The only problem might be that we'd be at a disadvantage against fire-attribute cultivators?"

Lin Qingyang thought of the issue of elemental counteraction.

However, the next moment, he shook his head. He was a water-attribute cultivator, which was a counter to fire-attribute cultivators, so he could use the water arrow talisman when the time came.

Thinking about it, he looked at the twelve talismans on the table, all of them water arrow talismans, each with a power comparable to the Azure Netherworld Mother-Child Blade!

This is also the result of his efforts over the past six months.

In terms of cultivation, he has completed half of the mana accumulation from the seventh to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

At the same time, he also increased the success rate of drawing water arrow talismans to 50%!

"With its full power, the Azure Netherworld Mother-Child Blade unleashes three water arrow talismans simultaneously. It's estimated that it could put up a fight against my uncle."

Lin Qingyang got up and walked out of Ziyang Pavilion.

At this moment, at noon, the flow of people in Nanhefang reached its peak.

Because of the Nanhe Small Meeting, the largest auction will be held today!

……

The auction will be held at Qingyuan Pavilion, as was the original plan.

Since the establishment of Nanhefang, the power to organize Nanhe Small Gatherings has been constantly changing, so the location was simply chosen to be Qingyuan Pavilion.

This also increases trust in outside practitioners.

Meanwhile, the Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed by the Qingyuan Sect will personally maintain order on the day of the auction to deter the greed of certain desperate individuals.

Of course, the Liu family also needs to provide a considerable amount of spirit stones as compensation, which is a benefit for the stationed cultivators. It is basically risk-free, and they can get spirit stones for free.

After all, in Cangshan County, killing a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Qingyuan Sect would extinguish the Ancestral Hall's Soul Lamp, prompting the Enforcement Hall to send a message to the nearest Foundation Establishment cultivator to investigate.

If you're unlucky enough to encounter a Purple Mansion stage cultivator who isn't in seclusion and might even personally come to arrest you, it will be very difficult to escape.

This was Lin Qingyang's first time at Qingyuan Pavilion. The first thing he saw was the auction stage in the very center, with a complex array engraved on it. The power emanating from it made him feel a little uneasy.

"It's probably a second-tier formation."

This is a deterrent measure to prevent the treasures at the auction from attracting unwanted attention.

He then looked at the lobby on the first floor, where there were a hundred pear wood chairs, just like those in the Hundred Treasures Pavilion exchange hall.

According to the rules, the minimum requirement to enter the auction is a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

The second floor consists of private rooms, and the only requirement to enter is to be a Foundation Establishment cultivator. There are more than ten private rooms, which indicates that Foundation Establishment cultivators from other counties will also come here.

Because of Lin Yaojiang's arrival, the Lin family had this private room, and he was just about to go up to look for his clansmen.

A female cultivator approached with a smile. "Fellow Daoist Qingyang, are you looking for Senior Lin Yaojiang?"

Lin Qingyang noticed the two mountain and river patterns on his robe, and combined with his Qi Refining Level 9 cultivation, he realized that he was an inner disciple of the Qingyuan Sect.

He naturally dared not presume, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, fellow Daoists of Qingyuan Sect."

Qin Shiya returned the greeting, "Fellow Daoist Lin, there's no need for such formalities. The effects of the Rejuvenation Talisman are renowned throughout the four prefectures of Qingyuan, bringing a considerable number of visitors to this Southern River Gathering. My master has also praised it highly."

As she spoke, she gestured with one hand, leading Lin Qingyang upstairs.

At the entrance, an array was set up, and a disciple of the Qingyuan Sect at the seventh level of Qi Refining was guarding the place with several cultivators at the middle stage of Qi Refining.

Lin Qingyang followed, and he could see clearly that the disciple at the seventh level of Qi Refining also had two mountain and river patterns on his clothes.

He was also an inner disciple, and he paid little attention to the other cultivators from the four major families who had passed by.

Moreover, the requirements are very strict, demanding that everyone present an identity token.

However, he showed great respect to the female cultivator beside him, and even allowed her to pass directly, despite not being a Qingyuan Sect cultivator.

Lin Qingyang had some idea of ​​the female cultivator's identity. "May I ask who your master is?"

Qin Shiya smiled and said, "I heard from Qishui Pool last time that Fellow Daoist Lin slew more than a dozen demonic beasts. You must have met my master before."
