Clan Cultivation: Starting with Plundering Demonic Beast Talents

Lin Qingyang was also surprised that Lin Qinggui hadn't told his older sister about this.

After a moment's thought, he realized that this was probably to help him conceal his ability to control second-tier puppets.

Lin Qinglian hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "Qingyang, on our sect's wanted list, the Jade-Faced Scholar and his gang have a reward of one thousand merit points."

"I'd like to discuss with you whether we can exchange a spiritual item for the peach blossom fan in your possession, in exchange for the bounty."

She now needs to accumulate good deeds to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills.

With this thousand merits in hand, she only needs to accumulate three hundred merits each year for the next ten years.

"sure."

Lin Qingyang agreed without hesitation.

He knew about the wanted list; if someone from an outer sect was killed, the Qingyuan Sect would give him half of the spirit stones as a reward.

However, because he did not want to reveal his ability to control second-tier puppets too early, he did not go to claim the reward.

"Sister Qinglian, I would like to exchange for some Cloud Mist Pills."

Lin Qingyang proposed the spiritual items he needed, as his cultivation speed had increased since his last advancement to a superior-grade spiritual root, aided by the combination of Cloud Glow Pill and Solidifying Essence Pill.

That made him unable to forget it for a long time.

Using one bottle every six months, while not guaranteeing rapid progress, can reduce his magical power accumulation time by one to two years.

He later inquired about it, but only the Qingyuan Sect could refine this kind of pill, which was exclusively for the sect's cultivators.

Each disciple only has a few pills available for exchange each month.

To keep the formula a secret, each time, it was always a mid-grade or higher alchemist of the second rank who personally refined it.

This is the key reason why Qingyuan Sect, with its large group of Qi Refining cultivators, has widened the gap with its affiliated forces; it is impossible for such a large number of cultivators to leave.

If the outer sect cultivators want to use it, they can only exchange it with the inner sect cultivators of Qingyuan Sect.

"The Cloud and Mist Pill? This kind of pill costs twice as much as the Qi-Strengthening Pill within the sect."

Lin Qinglian took out four bottles of Cloud Mist Pills from her storage bag. "These are the four bottles I had left after I reached the ninth level of Qi Refining."

"As for what happens next, if you still need it, there are disciples in the sect who can trade privately, but the price will be about 30% higher."

"Moreover, collecting them often takes several months."

She made a profit because the exchange rate for merit points with spirit stones within the Qingyuan Sect was much higher, often reaching 50%.

This is because good deeds can be exchanged for rare spiritual items within the sect.

If she were to take four bottles of Cloud Glow Pills to the sect to exchange for them, she would probably only get five hundred merit points.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Qingyang replied, "Okay, I'll exchange for two more bottles first."

He took out another five hundred spirit stones, intending to convert them into strength as quickly as possible.

From then on, most of the spirit stones obtained from the Twelve Fiends of the Wilderness were used up.

……

Several hours later, the auction house released the second batch of second-tier spiritual items.

The second-tier demon beast's life-bound hair that Lin Qingyang had been longing for was among them.

There were six lots in total, and he spent 980 spirit stones to snatch the second lot.

Soon, a quarter of an hour later, a servant came with the spirit object to hand over the spirit stone.

Lin Qingyang also obtained a second-grade mid-level green wood wolf hair brush, which was no bigger than the palm of his hand.

However, the spiritual power contained within is indeed extremely vast, which is worth the price of nearly a thousand spirit stones.

It's also thanks to him that he spent most of the past six months refining talismans.

He refined fifty high-grade spirit talismans from the first-tier superior-grade demon beast pelts produced by his family, which enabled him to bid on this second-tier wolf hair.

Lin Qinglian had just received the equivalent of 500 merits, so she offered her help voluntarily.

She was willing to introduce a mid-grade second-tier weapon refiner to help refine a second-tier talisman brush.

"Thank you, cousin. I won't bother you with this."

"Qingyang also obtained a second-tier rock wall prison array this time, but it is missing three array flags. Could you ask that weapon refiner to make a replica?"

"At that time, it will be placed in the family treasury, becoming a new source of wealth."

Lin Qingyang took out the array plate and a Yin Thunder Talisman as payment for the weapon refiner's work.

In this way, there will be absolutely no chance of failure.

Seeing Lin Qingyang's concern for the family and his willingness to hand over the second-tier formation to the family, Lin Zongyue was very gratified.

They received support from their family in their childhood and gave back to their family in adulthood.

This is how the family can be passed down from generation to generation.

Lin Qingyang naturally understood this principle as well.

Their last hunt for the Ice Soul Pig King was thanks to a second-tier mid-grade formation left by their ancestors.

……

The auction lasted a full day.

As dusk fell, the third batch of second-tier spiritual items arrived, the most precious of all, consisting of only nine pieces.

What attracted almost everyone's attention was the Foundation Establishment Pill!

There are five in total, to be auctioned separately, with a starting price of five thousand spirit stones.

Inside private room number 50.

The three members of the Lin family also looked eagerly at the auction stage, where five jade boxes contained snow-white pills no bigger than a thumb.

However, it can extend their lifespan by two cycles of sixty years.

This is a temptation that no monk can resist.

Of course, they might take photos every month.

The price of the first Foundation Establishment Pill was driven up to 10,000 spirit stones in just ten breaths!

At the twentieth breath.

A voice came directly from the private room next to where Lin Qingyang and his group were.

"Fifteen thousand spirit stones!"

The man stepped directly out of the private room, standing on a tiger-shaped puppet.

His actions were not intended to threaten other monks.

After all, Liu Sanyuan was watching from the third floor, so no one dared to act rashly.

And in the end, only a few high-ranking members of the Qingyuan Sect knew who won the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Therefore, he did this to demonstrate his determination.

At the scene, the price suddenly increased by 5,000, causing the bidding to fall silent for a moment.

Lin Qingyang also recognized the man's identity; he was just like the Lu family patriarch from Nanhefang that day, a native of Lishan County.

With the passing of the ancestor who was in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, two second-tier puppet beasts were also lost.

The Lu family's strength has been greatly diminished, and cultivators from the surrounding area have begun to covet their territory.

They happened to be there during the Wind, Fire, Mountain and Slope auction.

The remaining two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Lu family immediately made up their minds to bid for a Foundation Establishment Pill, and they had already brought along the intended recipient.

Because it involved demonic cultivators, the news had already spread throughout the four prefectures under the Qingyuan Sect.

Therefore, everyone tacitly stopped.

After all, in previous years, most Foundation Establishment Pills were sold for less than 13,000 spirit stones.

There's no need to fight the Lu family to the death.

After successfully acquiring the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Lu family immediately returned to the Wind and Fire Mountain Cave with a young cultivator and began his seclusion.

This was also to dispel the idea of ​​others, so as to prevent accidents from happening on the way back to the Foundation Establishment Pill.

……

About a month after the auction, Lin Qingyang received the second-tier talisman brush.

At the same time, the Rock Wall Prison Formation was also completed with its array flags, which he planned to have Lin Zongbo bring back to the family next time.

In the following six months, most of the Foundation Establishment cultivators who came to attend the auction had already left.

Lin Qingyang went into seclusion as soon as he received the talisman paper. He cut out ten talisman papers from one of the monster pelts he obtained at the auction and drew five Yin Thunder Talismans.

This can be considered as making up for one's trump card.

At the same time, he also used up the four bottles of Cloud Mist Pills that he had exchanged on the spot from Lin Qinglian using the bounty offered by the Twelve Fiends of the Wilderness.

With such a price paid, the rewards are naturally substantial.

He had already broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining when he acquired the talisman brush.

Now, several months have passed, and he has completed the accumulation of 20% of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

At that time, he was forty years old and had twenty years to prepare for the foundation building.

He could even accumulate enough magical power to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining before the age of forty-five.
