NOVPUBChapter 238: Chapter 176: Undercurrents Surge_1
Lin Tianming left the training room and came to the courtyard.
At that moment, Lin Shilu was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea. Lin Tianming didn’t expect to bump into Lin Shilu as soon as he left seclusion. With a smile on his face, he immediately walked up to greet him.
Feeling the aura emitted by Lin Tianming, Lin Shilu rejoiced and exclaimed, “Tianming, have you made a breakthrough, my boy?”
Lin Tianming’s complexion looked good, and the joy from his breakthrough had yet to subside. Hearing Lin Shilu’s question, he nodded and smiled,
“Fifteenth Grandfather, if I hadn’t been suppressing my cultivation in order to consolidate it, I might have broken through half a year ago!”
“Hmm… not bad. Even so, breaking through a realm every three years is still quite fast!” Lin Shilu said.
Lin Tianming nodded; the Foundation Establishment Stage wasn’t as easy to break through as the Qi Refinement Realm. He was fairly satisfied with a progression of one stage every three years.
After sitting down to chat and drink tea for a bit, Lin Tianming began to inquire about the Mysterious Moon Order.
Seeing Lin Tianming ask about this, Lin Shilu’s expression grew serious, and he then said, “In the marketplace, there have sporadically been rumors about the Mysterious Moon Order for nearly a year now!”
Hearing this, Lin Tianming immediately became interested!
Lin Shilu picked up his teacup, took a light sip, and continued, “According to the rumors, a few months ago in the Qianchuan Mountain Range, a Mysterious Moon Order appeared out of nowhere, leading to a frenzied struggle for it. As a result, several Foundation Establishment Cultivators perished, and the Mysterious Moon Order eventually ended up in the hands of a Loose Cultivator named Liu Zhong. This person disappeared with the token, seemingly finding a place to hide, waiting for the Secret Realm to open!”
“Liu Zhong?”
Hearing this name, Lin Tianming carefully thought it over but didn’t recall any information about the man.
“Fifteenth Grandfather, who is this Liu Zhong, and how come I have never heard of him?” Lin Tianming asked.
When it came to Liu Zhong, Lin Shilu’s expression turned grave, seeming to hold considerable wariness towards him.
“Curiously enough, he and that ancient-surnamed Golden Core Cultivator you’ve met are both from the Huangyang Country Cultivation World in Jingzhou. However, Liu Zhong frequently mingles within Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World. Though a Loose Cultivator, his talent and cultivation are not low; he managed to reach the Foundation Establishment Seventh Level before the age of one hundred. Moreover, this individual is extremely dangerous, quite powerful, and ruthless. To gain opportunities, he would stop at nothing, having committed numerous murderous and plundering acts. If by chance you encounter this man, you must be very careful!” 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
After listening to Lin Shilu’s explanation, Lin Tianming nodded, taking mental note of this person’s name to avoid being oblivious when meeting this dangerous figure.
After advising Lin Tianming, Lin Shilu’s topic subtly shifted.
“This matter of the Mysterious Moon Order is causing quite a stir in Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World. Cultivators from other regions are flooding into the Qianchuan Mountain Range, hoping to try their luck. The currents are turbulent in Wei Kingdom now, with a vast number of Cultivators gathering here. After all, securing even one token, even if they can’t enter themselves, allows them to trade it with the Great Sects or other forces in exchange for a wealth of resources!”
It came as a surprise to Lin Tianming that the news of the Mysterious Moon Order was now common knowledge. Now that the word had spread, and so many Cultivators had come to the Qianchuan Mountain Range, he wondered what stance the Zhenyang Sect, the local power, would take.
With this in mind, Lin Tianming asked:
“Fifteenth Grandfather, what are the attitudes of the three Great Sects and the two Great Golden Core Families regarding this issue?”
Lin Shilu’s brows furrowed, then he replied:
“At present, Zhenyang Sect has shown no particular stance. After all, there are too many people coming, and even Zhenyang Sect wouldn’t dare to provoke public anger. They’ve merely declared that whoever brings in the Mysterious Moon Order will receive spirit stones or treasures worth tens of thousands, or even choose a Foundation Establishment Pill!”
“Moreover, Myriad Medicine Valley, Golden Sword Sect, and the two Great Sects, as well as the Yingchuan Chen Family and the West River Li Family, have all put out similar words; whoever submits the Mysterious Moon Order will also receive a vast quantity of spirit stones or treasures.”
Upon hearing all this from Lin Shilu, Lin Tianming immediately understood that every Golden Elixir Force was highly valuing the Mysterious Moon Order, even willing to trade Foundation Establishment Pills for it.
The preciousness of the Foundation Establishment Pill was self-evident. Even for Golden Elixir Forces, the amount produced each year was very limited, and those pills that made it to the market would inevitably cause fierce competition. For the Mysterious Moon Order, they were indeed investing heavily!
However, upon careful consideration, although the Foundation Establishment Pills were valuable, if they could obtain more Mysterious Moon Orders, they would be able to send more Cultivators into the Secret Realm to hunt for treasures. The more people entering the Secret Realm, the safer it would be, and the greater the odds of finding treasures.
If they could find Nascent Soul Spiritual Items, then what they paid for a Foundation Establishment Pill would be negligible.
Viewed this way, it was understandable why the Golden Elixir Forces attached so much importance to it.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming felt a rush of excitement.
They had obtained two Mysterious Moon Orders. If they could enter and find a Nascent Soul Spiritual Item, they might help Lin Shikang break through to the Golden Core Stage, and then the Lin Family could return to glory and become the third Golden Core Family in the Wei Kingdom!
But for now, the Secret Realm had yet to appear, and the entrance conditions were unknown. Weighing these possibilities seemed futile.
With this thought, Lin Tianming asked with a sense of resignation:
“Fifteenth Grandfather, does the frequent appearance of the Mysterious Moon Order indicate that the Secret Realm is about to open?”
Lin Shilu nodded and then said:
“Indeed, that is very likely. This realm is definitely an unclaimed Secret Realm. With the Mysterious Moon Order emerging in large numbers, it will appear in the world within a few months at the earliest, or three years at the latest!”
“We have two Mysterious Moon Orders, and under no circumstances can we pass up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we can enter and obtain Nascent Soul Spiritual Items, Elder Brother’s chances of Core Formation will greatly increase!”
