NOVPUBChapter 636: Chapter 352 Submission_2 Chapter 636: Chapter 352 Submission_2 Such an attack, even if it were a cultivator at the Late Stage of Qi Refining, could easily catch it.
Facing Lin Tianming, even relying on his physical body alone, he could easily crush him.
Sure enough, Lin Tianming casually grasped the Sword Qi in his hand and with a slight exertion of force, crushed it into pieces.
This scene completely erased the last trace of hope in Zhou Jin’s heart.
Seeing that he stood no chance at all, Zhou Jin was both shocked and furious; he couldn’t hold back from cursing loudly.
“You dare, if you dare to kill me, my master will definitely investigate the cause and make the Lin Family accompany me in death!”
“You will not die well…”
...
“Hmph… speak nicely, and maybe I’ll let you off!”
“You’re facing death and still dare to threaten me with your family’s influence, you deserve to die!”
Lin Tianming snorted in anger, then with a flash of light from the Tiangang Sword in his hand, Zhou Jin lay on the ground, breathless.
After doing all of this, Lin Tianming took the storage bag from Zhou Jin’s body, then cast several fireballs to destroy the corpse and erase all traces.
Immediately afterward, he once again approached the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox and inspected it carefully.
At this moment, the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox was equally terrified, as it had witnessed him kill Zhou Jin and understood the predicament it would face next.
It wanted to flee, but its injuries were too severe, and after struggling for a long time, it didn’t get very far.
Lin Tianming didn’t waste time and directly used a force to immobilize the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox.
Then, regardless of whether the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox could understand him, he straightforwardly said, “Your cultivation path wasn’t easy, and this Secret Realm has trapped you within it; it’s better to submit to me. I can take you out of here and assist you in breaking through to the Third Order, or even the Fourth Order!”
His words were sincere and extremely reasonable.
You should know, there are quite a few Demonic Beasts in the Tianfeng Secret Realm; if they cannot attach themselves to a cultivator to leave, they can only die trapped within it.
Furthermore, the Secret Realm only opens once every two hundred years, which is a very long time even for Demonic Beasts, who live much longer than the Human Race.
If the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox couldn’t seize this opportunity, it would have to wait for the next one, which is two hundred years later.
In this way, submitting to a human didn’t seem like a bad thing at all.
True to his prediction, after Lin Tianming finished speaking, the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox seemed to understand and stopped struggling violently.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming was pleasantly surprised and immediately continued persuading, “You have seen my cultivation strength; submit to me, and I definitely won’t mistreat you. I will certainly help you break through to the Third Order as soon as possible!”
After speaking, Lin Tianming looked at the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox again, awaiting its reaction.
The Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox then prostrated itself voluntarily, clearly agreeing to Lin Tianming’s terms.
Seeing the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox so understanding, Lin Tianming couldn’t help but feel a bit incredulous.
After a long time, Lin Tianming finally calmed down, then proactively extended his Divine Sense into the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox’s consciousness.
The process was effortless, completely without any resistance.
Lin Tianming didn’t delay and imprinted his Divine Sense within the consciousness of the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox.
Soon, the entire process of acknowledging a master neared its end; Lin Tianming could fully sense his mind connected with that of the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox, and he could detonate the beast’s consciousness at any moment, thus controlling its life.
By now, the process of acknowledgment was officially complete.
At this moment, Lin Tianming finally sighed in relief, his face filled with a joyous smile.
Meanwhile, the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox was rubbing against Lin Tianming’s robe, making a gesture of appeasement.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming was even more thrilled and quickly took out several healing elixirs and a few Second Order Demon Beast Inner Pills for the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox to consume.
Lin Tianming’s generous gesture deeply moved the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox, which thought that following this human might not be so bad after all.
Under Lin Tianming’s watchful eye, the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox consumed the elixirs and Demon Beast Inner Pills, and its injuries slowly started to heal.
Afterward, Lin Tianming put the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox and the Bloodthirsty Jiao into the Spirit Beast Bag to heal inside.
As for himself, he needed to promptly scour the area and collect everything that could be taken.
After all, the recent commotion was not small; any nearby cultivator passing by might involve him in unnecessary troubles.
Determined, Lin Tianming immediately began to act.
He first approached the outermost Greenstone Wood, swinging his sword casually. The First Order Greenstone Wood was easily cut through by the Sword Qi, while the Second Order Greenstone Wood took a few more tries.
Before long, he had collected dozens of Greenstone Woods, mostly of the First Order, with only a few of the Second Order.
Soon, Greenstone Woods below Third Order had all been collected, totaling one hundred and fifty-six, among which one hundred and twenty-two were of the First Order, and thirty-four of the Second Order.
Lin Tianming had also arrived deep in the gorge, standing in front of a Third Order Greenstone Wood.
Looking up, the Third Order Greenstone Wood towered more than ten zhang high, its trunk as thick as a water bucket covered with distinctive patterns.
He touched the tree trunk with his hand and was greeted by a thick wood property aura, filled with rich vitality.
These Third Order Greenstone Woods were not like those of the Second Order. Not only were they much harder, but they also had stronger resilience, making them excellent materials for Artifact Refining.
If Fifteenth Grandfather were to see these things, who knows how excited he would be.
Lin Tianming thought inwardly, feeling very excited.
After calming down, he took out the Tiangang Sword and slashed at the trunk of the Greenstone Wood.
“Bang… Bang Bang…”
A series of loud explosions followed, and the Greenstone Wood merely shook violently, leaving behind notches.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming was astounded and gained a new level of respect for the Greenstone Wood.
He then continued to wield the Tiangang Sword, starting to cut down the tree.
An hour passed, and the first Third Order Greenstone Wood finally fell, crashing heavily onto the ground, carving a deep pit.
He exerted quite a lot of effort before he managed to put this Greenstone Wood into his storage bag.
Then, he continued to search in the gorge.
Half a day quickly passed.
With the last Greenstone Wood falling to the ground, the Third Order Greenstone Woods in the entire gorge had been felled at last.
Upon verification, he had gained a total of seven Third Order Greenstone Woods this time, each over five thousand years of age, and even two that were approaching ten thousand years.
Now, with these Third Order Greenstone Woods and the Earth Rampart Crystals he acquired a while back, if Lin Shilu could reforge his magic artifact, it was very possible that it would raise another grade.
By then, his strength would be further enhanced.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming was thrilled. He thought the gains from this trip to the Secret Realm were already exceptionally rich.
This was only after a little over a month, and he still had more than half a year to search for treasures. As long as he found some treasures that could advance his cultivation, this trip would be considered perfect.
Bringing his mind back, Lin Tianming made sure nothing had been overlooked, then erased some traces.
Without further delay, he shot off in one direction, planning to find a good place to go into seclusion and cultivate for a while.
He would continue his treasure hunt once he was at his peak condition.
Having made up his mind, he left the gorge and flew towards the dense forest deep within.
A day later.
Inside a towering mountain with lush, towering trees and various rocks standing between them.
It was a place filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, quite serene and without any traces of Demonic Beasts or cultivators, an ideal location.
In a hidden crevice between rocks, Lin Tianming carved out a Temporary Cave Abode and then walked inside, concealing the entrance.
Inside the Temporary Cave Abode, Lin Tianming sat cross-legged on the ground, beginning to use elixirs to heal his injuries and recover the majority of his Spiritual Power that had been drained over the past couple of days.
He planned to regain his peak condition before taking inventory of Zhou Jin’s storage bag.
Given Zhou Jin’s identity and strength, his worth was definitely not low. It was just unfortunate that the Fake Golden Core Talisman was used up.
Otherwise, having this item in his possession would have been another significant trump card.
But on second thought, he was perhaps being a bit too greedy.
After all, without this item, inflicting severe damage on the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox would have been much more difficult, and success was not guaranteed.
Realizing this, Lin Tianming no longer dwelled on the matter and began his cultivation.
