NOVPUBChapter 235: Chapter 174 Golden Core Duel_2
Hearing Lin Shihua’s explanation, Lin Tianming felt somewhat embarrassed. His knowledge about Spirit Beasts was limited to the basic information recorded in books, and he had not anticipated so many conditions.
The value of these Serpent Eggs was not low, and once the hatchlings reached maturity, it would be equivalent to raising a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Even if he hadn’t brought it up, the family elders wouldn’t have overlooked such an important matter.
With these thoughts, Lin Tianming did not ask further. The two made a round in the valley before returning to where they started.
Lin Tianming actually found the valley quite to his liking. The enclosed area was not small, and it was home to a large number of common wild animals, making it very suitable for the existence of Spirit Beasts.
Lin Tianming even secretly thought that if he stayed with the clan for a long time, he could send the Purple Gold Eagle in, and perhaps even mix in the Soul-eating Spider.
Regaining his composure, the two left the valley together.
Walking along, Lin Shihua fully promised that he would definitely hatch the Qingxu Serpent as soon as possible.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming felt at ease. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Lin Shihua, he returned to his cave dwelling first.
There were still two days left before the day agreed with Lin Xingping to leave the clan. With nothing else to do, Lin Tianming entered the training room and began to cultivate.
Two days later, in the early morning, on the plaza of the clan gate.
Lin Tianming was the first to wait there. The Purple Gold Eagle stood by his side, nuzzling his clothes with its large beak in a pleasing manner.
He waved his hand and took out two pieces of First Order Qingxu Serpent Meat, fed them to the Purple Gold Eagle, and finally calmed the greedy creature down.
In a short while, his father and Lin Xingping arrived in step, landing before him. Lin Tianming immediately approached and gave them his respects.
“Tianming, there’s no need for such formalities!” Lin Xingping said with a wave of his hand and a smile, apparently in a very good mood.
His father chuckled, then took out two storage bags and a ledger, handing them to Lin Tianming, saying:
“The treasures in here are the clan’s resources prepared for the operation of the Luoyun Pavilion. The quantity is considerable, so you must take good care of them!”
“Father, rest assured, your son will surely deliver these treasures intact to Qianchuan Market and hand them personally to Fifteenth Grandfather!” Lin Tianming replied with a resolute expression.
“Brother Twelve, don’t worry. With me and Tianming together, there shouldn’t be any problems!” Lin Xingping also said, clasping his fist.
Lin Xingrong nodded, glanced back at the clan grounds, then declared:
“Hmm… Time is ticking on, let’s set off!”
Upon finishing, the three of them and the beast exited the protective clan formation. They then mounted the Purple Gold Eagle’s back, with the eagle carrying them northward.
In less than two days, they smoothly arrived at Golden Horn Mountain.
After a short rest overnight, Lin Xingrong watched the two leave until they disappeared into the northern sky, then he returned to his cave dwelling.
Lin Tianming and the other sat on the Purple Gold Eagle’s back, casually chatting as they felt the rushing mountains and rivers around them.
Although he had traveled this route to Qianchuan Market several times and had never encountered any danger, Lin Tianming still did not dare to let down his guard.
He took out a map and pointed to a mark on it, saying:
“Uncle, this journey is long. We should take turns being on alert!”
Hearing this, Lin Xingping naturally had no objections. He replied seriously:
“Of course. Although I have never been to Qianchuan Market, I gathered quite some information before leaving the clan. The Hengyang Mountain Range that we will pass through is not exactly peaceful, so being cautious can do no harm!”
“Yes, indeed… But no need to be too nervous. A party with two Foundation Establishment Cultivators isn’t one that is easily provoked!” Lin Tianming said with a light smile.
“That’s true!”
A party of two Foundation Establishment Cultivators ranks considerably high among the forces within Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World. Unless there are life-and-death grudges, almost no one would provoke them.
The two exchanged smiles, sitting on the Purple Gold Eagle’s back as they flew northward at high speed.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, several days passed…
At the border of the Hengyang Mountain Range and the Luoyang Mountain Range, in a tranquil valley.
It was now evening, and Lin Tianming and his companion landed atop a mountain peak.
Lin Tianming surveyed the thickly forested valley, then swept the area with his Divine Sense, and after confirming there was no danger around, he said:
“Uncle, let’s rest here for the night and continue our journey tomorrow!”
“Good, after several days of travel, I’m indeed a bit tired. Besides, since the Qianchuan Market is still at a distance, even if we travel all night, we can’t reach it in a short time. Let’s just rest here for the night!” Lin Xingping said with a smile.
Once he had finished speaking, Lin Tianming took out the Earth Evil Sword and swiftly carved out a simple cave in a stone wall.
After casually setting up a couple of concealment Illusion Techniques, the two of them entered, one after the other. They then sat down, preparing to meditate and cultivate.
Before one Grand Circulation was complete, a thunderous noise suddenly filled the air, and the valley began to shake violently.
The expressions of Lin Tianming and his companion changed; they quickly ended their cultivation and went to the cave entrance, cautiously checking the situation outside.
By now, it was dark, and the night was shrouded in a dense fog, making it hard to discern the situation. Lin Tianming didn’t dare use his Divine Sense, lest he be detected.
Lin Tianming opened his Eye of Five Colors and looked towards two glowing masses in the distance, his face immediately turning pale.
On two mountain peaks several miles away, two elders were fighting fiercely. One of them was wearing a golden Taoist robe with a sun pattern on his chest, exactly like the one on Li Xiuyuan’s robe, clearly identifying him as a cultivator from the Zhenyang Sect without a doubt.
The other elder wore black and held a glittering golden mirror; when he cast a Law Decree, a silver-white beam of light shot out towards the Zhenyang Sect cultivator.
The cultivator from the Zhenyang Sect was unruffled. He quickly took out a small umbrella and protected himself with it.
“Boom…”
The beam of light hit the umbrella and exploded into a tremendous noise. Beneath the feet of the Zhenyang Sect cultivator, the ground suddenly split open, creating a crevice several zhang wide.
The Zhenyang Sect cultivator’s face darkened, and he immediately unleashed a sword strike, sending out a tremendous number of Sword Qi, beginning to counterattack.
Sparks flew from the fierce exchange between the two, their brightness like the brilliance of the sun, illuminating a radius of several tens of miles as if it were daylight.
Meanwhile, thunderous rumblings could be heard, and the earth shook violently.
Based on the fluctuations from their battle, they were at least Golden Core Stage seniors.
Lin Tianming watched with a solemn expression. Although he had been on the cultivation path for some time, this was the first occasion he had witnessed Golden Core Stage cultivators, and, moreover, his first time observing a duel.
At this moment, he held his breath, not even daring to let out a sigh, his eyes fixated on the distant battle, his mind racing with thoughts.
He had no idea why those two Golden Core Stage seniors were fighting, nor whether they had noticed them. They might have even already spotted them but simply didn’t care about their presence.
No matter what the possibility, if the seniors decided to cause trouble, their own levels of cultivation were completely incapable of handling it, and they could only pretend not to see and pray that the two would leave soon.
After a short while, following a loud explosion, the elder in the black robe shouted angrily and alarmedly at the Zhenyang Sect cultivator:
“Chen Jingtian, do you really intend to fight to the death with me over a piece of the Mysterious Moon Order?”
Upon hearing this, the cultivator from the Zhenyang Sect sneered, and then, with determination in his voice, said:
“Old Monster Gu, why waste time delaying? You are no match for me. Hand over the Mysterious Moon Order obediently, and I can let you leave. Otherwise, today might not end well for you!”
Seeing Chen Jingtian’s impervious attitude, the cultivator surnamed Gu’s face darkened as he took out a bead with a grey-white pattern and threw it straight at Chen Jingtian.
Chen Jingtian’s expression turned extremely grim as he hurriedly protected himself with the umbrella, then rapidly retreated.
“Boom…”
When the grey-white bead exploded between them, the cultivator surnamed Gu struck out with another beam of light and fled westward without looking back.
Chen Jingtian leaped to avoid the attack from the cultivator surnamed Gu and immediately pursued the fleeing cultivator.
Before long, the land quieted down, and the night returned to normal. The two Golden Core cultivators had completely vanished without a trace.
