Clan Cultivation: Starting with Plundering Demonic Beast Talents

In the secret realm, just as the second-tier Ice Soul Pig King was about to break through the formation.

Lin Qingyang suddenly appeared and roared, "Restrain that second-tier puppet!"

Lin Zongyue gritted his teeth, picked up his large axe, and entered the fray, determined to create an opportunity for Lin Qingyang.

His current plan is that after the formation breaks, Lin Qingyang will use the Yin Thunder Talisman to slow down the Pig King's speed and lead his people to gradually retreat.

He stayed behind to cover the rear and protect the three Foundation Establishment seeds of the Lin family's Qing generation.

But the next moment, he witnessed a scene he would never forget.

Just as the Ice Soul Pig King was about to break through the formation, three pitch-black talismans appeared head-on, transforming into a pitch-black thundercloud, and more than a dozen bolts of lightning struck down!

"Zira!"

The jet-black electric arc transformed into a small lake, completely enveloping the enormous body of the Pig King.

"roar."

A mournful roar came from the mouth of the Ice Soul Pig King.

The three spirit talismans, each with power comparable to a mid-grade second-tier spirit talisman, were equivalent to him withstanding the full force of three mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators!

If it were at its peak, it wouldn't be so bad, but in order to break the formation, the Ice Soul Pig King had already consumed half of its magic power.

Unable to unleash their strongest defensive abilities, they could only rely on their physical bodies to withstand the attacks.

Most of his body was enveloped by a sea of ​​lightning, and countless pieces of flesh inside his body died.

Even with the powerful body of the demon beast, he now had less than 20% of his fighting strength left and was driven back into the formation.

Then, naturally, he could not escape the joint attack of Lin Qingyang and others, and was killed in less than a hundred breaths.

After a hundred breaths.

Lin Qingyang looked at the ten drops of Ice Soul Pig King's essence blood extracted from his palm, and the entire pig demon's pelt.

"Not bad, the essence blood should be enough to plunder talents."

"A whole pelt can be made into six second-tier talisman sheets, which can barely make up for the consumption of three second-tier Yin Thunder Talismans this time."

The oath signed by the four was to divide the spoils of war within the cave. In the process of defeating the monsters, the harvest was divided entirely according to their contributions.

Because of this unexpected turn of events, Lin Qingyang ultimately took the credit for the spoils.

That second-tier high-grade demonic beast puppet could only use the innate talent of the Ice Soul Pig King clan, Water Spirit Crystal, as its power source, and it had been dead for too long.

Therefore, compared to the corpse of a typical second-tier demon beast, it was only worth 30% of its value, discounted to 600 spirit stones, and was taken by Lin Qingyang.

This generation's Ice Soul Pig King is a second-tier low-grade demon beast. Lin Qingyang took its essence blood and fur as compensation for the second-tier spirit talisman he used, valued at nine hundred spirit stones.

The remaining Ice Soul Pig King's spirit bones and flesh, the more than twenty low-level demonic beasts killed, plus the spiritual herbs found in the nest, including three hundred-year-old spiritual herbs and twenty fifty-year-old spiritual herbs, should be worth about five thousand spirit stones.

Lin Zongyue was severely injured while restraining the second-tier demon beasts. His post-battle treatment would cost a large sum of spirit stones, so he received a thousand spirit stones.

Lin Qingping and Lin Qingyu each received six hundred spirit stones.

The three mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators each received two hundred spirit stones.

The remaining nearly two thousand spirit stones need to be handed over to the family.

After all, the Xuan Yin Ding Hai Formation is an extremely expensive formation that can trap a second-tier demon beast with the combined efforts of five Qi Refining cultivators.

Renting a piece of spirit stone would yield a considerable amount, but damage during the battle would require an additional payment of spirit stones.

After dividing the spoils, the group ventured deeper into the cave, only to discover a second-tier demon beast clan several dozen miles away.

At the foot of a mountain, purple mist lingered, and for miles around, not a blade of grass grew.

The mountain is teeming with venomous scorpions, the largest of which is even bigger than the Ice Soul Pig we just saw.

"This Purple Scale Scorpion King has reached the middle level of the second rank, and its clan has nearly a hundred members, including twenty high-rank demonic beasts."

"Moreover, the toxicity is extremely high. We do not have any second-tier antidotes on this trip, so it is not advisable for us to enter."

Lin Zongyue, who has been hunting demons for decades, has offered his own assessment.

Although Lin Qingping and Lin Qingyu were eagerly anticipating the cave dwelling that was so close at hand, they were also aware of the situation.

With their current preparations, their chances of defeating this tribe are less than 20%, so they have no choice but to give up.

So the group of seven decided to return to Huifeng Volcano.

……

However, another setback occurred along the way.

They traveled to a point a hundred miles outside the wilderness, where a dozen Qi Refining cultivators were fighting each other, surrounding and killing three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators in the middle.

It seemed that the three cultivators in the middle were quite wealthy, and they kept throwing out talismans, which was why they were barely able to remain undefeated.

Not far from them, inside a cave, the formation had been broken, and the gushing spiritual energy was comparable to a second-tier high-grade spiritual vein.

Clearly, yet another cave dwelling belonging to previous inhabitants has been discovered.

The arrival of Lin Qingyang and his group of seven undoubtedly attracted their attention.

Among the three Qi Refining cultivators who were being surrounded and attacked, the one at the ninth level of Qi Refining asked them for help.

"Fellow Daoists, my name is Zhou Junfeng, and my master is Wu Linfeng of the Feng Huo Shan (Wind, Fire, Mountain) sect. If we are rescued, I am willing to share two second-tier magic artifacts with you!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a burly man with a scarred face among the cultivators who were surrounding him also spoke up.

"Fellow Daoists, you'd better not be greedy for this income. Once you reach Feng Huo Shan, if that old dog Wu sets his sights on you, you'll have to give it all back!"

The seven members of the Lin family looked solemn. It was clear that a Foundation Establishment cultivator's cave had emerged not far away, and it was still undiscovered. It must contain many spiritual objects.

They now have two choices: one is to help the weaker party and fight against them.

Another option was to turn around and leave, doing as the scarred man wished.

"Elders, would you like to get involved? Two second-tier magic artifacts are worth at least several thousand spirit stones."

The three Qi Refining Level 6 cultivators from the Lin family were in favor.

Lin Qingping and Lin Qingyu were in similar situations, but ultimately the two elders made the final decision.

"Qingyang, what do you think?"

Lin Zongyue was also hesitant. He had heard that the Foundation Establishment cultivator Wu Linfeng was not as bad as the scarred strongman had described.

"My opinion is to pretend we never saw them and leave."

Lin Qingyang's expression was firm, and without explaining the reason, he cupped his hands towards the group of people in the distance.

"I was seriously injured while hunting demons and am truly unable to participate. Please forgive me."

Then, he turned around and left.

He made his stance clear, and Lin Zongyue no longer hesitated and followed suit.

The remaining few naturally dared not stay. Without two top-tier Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivators in charge, they would have no chance of obtaining a second-tier magic weapon even if they got involved.

During his journey, Lin Qingyang was quite worried.

At this moment, half of his divine sense was in the storage bag, and the golden pestle began to shine.

Small ink characters slowly emerged on the jade talisman.

[Demon-Subduing Pestle (Tier 3, Mid-Grade Magic Weapon, Unrepairable)]

[Spirit Detection: Within a radius of ten zhang, the aura of a demonic spirit is suspected.]

This vajra is not entirely useless.

It seems that because some of the runes on the surface are still intact, it has one extremely useless function left.

It can detect demonic energy within a radius of ten zhang, or a dozen steps.

The only time he came into contact with a demonic cultivator was with the blood-robed man he met in Nanhefang.

Even the Lu family patriarch, who possessed two second-tier puppets and was himself at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, was defeated by him.

That's why he fled within a few breaths.

Whether it's true or not, he has already gained a lot from this trip.

Many cultivators die because of greed. He has the jade talisman, so there is no need for him to take such a risk.

About half an hour after they left.

Two of the three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators had perished, leaving only one struggling to hold on.

A powerful Foundation Establishment cultivator arrived at the battlefield, wiped out more than a dozen Qi Refining cultivators with a wave of his hand, and returned to Feng Huo Shan with the harvest from his cave and his disciples.

Fifteen minutes after he left.

Two figures dressed in blood-red robes appeared, smiling on their faces.

"Old Wu took the things away; hopefully, the Qingyuan Sect won't find out."

"That's natural. Thanks to His Excellency's methods, how could we have ever been discovered coming and going?"

A fanatical light appeared in their eyes, revealing their true faces.

If anyone were to see him, they would be astonished to discover that he is also a well-known Foundation Establishment cultivator within the Wind and Fire Mountain.
