NOVPUBChapter 646: Chapter 357 Earth-grade Wind Attribute Technique_2 Chapter 646: Chapter 357 Earth-grade Wind Attribute Technique_2 “What’s going on here?”
“If this attic really is a treasure vault, isn’t it a bit too clean? There isn’t even a single spirit stone!”
The most restless, Lin Tianhong, couldn’t help but blurt out.
Hearing this string of complaints, Lin Tianfeng offered a wry smile and then pointed to a passage in the corner as he said,
“This floor is probably meant for storing ordinary treasures. Perhaps it’s because so much time has passed that ordinary items simply couldn’t be preserved, and that’s why it’s completely empty.”
“Things that have remained through the endless ages are certainly not these first and second order spiritual objects. Perhaps only treasures of the third or fourth order could have survived.”
“Thus, it’s certain that we won’t find anything on the first floor. As for the second floor, or even higher, it’s hard to say.”
“In any case… let’s go up and have a look before we draw any conclusions!”
...
After hearing what Lin Tianfeng had to say, Lin Tianhong finally relaxed, heaving a sigh of relief.
His temperament was somewhat impulsive, and he was obsessed with alchemy. He certainly didn’t understand as much about the countless documents and hearsay of the cultivation world as Lin Tianfeng did.
Lin Tianfeng, on the other hand, was carefree and meticulous, having made acquaintances with all sorts of people from different walks of life.
This seemingly rough and hearty temperament allowed him to thrive anywhere, proving to be extremely steady.
On the other side, Sun Ling’er was extremely satisfied with Lin Tianfeng’s perspective.
Soon, the four of them went together to the attic’s passage and arrived on the attic’s second floor.
Just as Lin Tianfeng anticipated, the inside was empty just like below, filled only with a vast amount of debris, indistinguishable as to what treasures they once were.
Fortunately, they had been prepared for this outcome, so there was no sense of disappointment.
Undeterred, the group continued upwards, and it wasn’t long before they arrived on the third floor.
Standing in the somewhat spacious hall, they noticed that this area was much smaller than the two floors below and there were no further passages.
Clearly, this was the topmost level and the most important place in the entire attic.
Understanding this, everyone’s expressions turned eager, and they began searching carefully throughout this floor.
In a short while, they came upon a pile of colorful debris.
Upon closer inspection, this pile was quite sizable, consisting of artifact refining materials, broken jade bottles, and even body parts of demonic beasts, haphazardly strewn on the ground.
“Big brother… this piece of third order artifact refining material has weathered so badly that it hardly holds any energy. It’s a real waste of natural resources!”
Lin Tianhong extracted a blue ore from the pile and after scrutinizing it, couldn’t help but curse in frustration.
Lin Tianfeng didn’t respond. He too was holding a relatively intact jade bottle, pouring out the remnants of the elixirs inside.
At that moment, the other couple were also busy sorting through the heap of rubbish.
Soon, they had sifted through the debris, finding that all were items from which the energy had dissipated significantly.
Many years ago, these objects might have been of great value, but now, with the passage of time, they were scarcely of any use.
However, even so, Lin Tianfeng didn’t let them go to waste, collecting everything that could be utilized.
These third order ores, for instance, despite severe energy loss, could still potentially be used for artifact refining if processed properly, though they were no longer suitable for high order magic artifacts.
Immediately after, the four continued to explore this floor, sequentially finding several more piles of items.
As expected, items of high value were exceedingly rare.
Even the few fourth order items they found had lost so much energy that they were not much different from ordinary second order treasures.
In response to this, Lin Tianfeng felt rather helpless, only able to offer some words of comfort.
“Big brother, come over here and look!”
Just then, Lin Tianhu found something in a corner, and his sudden exclamation drew everyone’s attention.
Lin Tianfeng rushed over in an instant and started examining a jade slip he picked up from a pile of objects.
Soon enough, his breathing quickened, and his face flushed with excitement.
Upon inspection, he found that the jade slip was actually the wind-attribute cultivation technique he had long been seeking.
Named ‘Wind-Chasing Daoist Scripture’
Although the rank is only Earth Grade, it was already the Lin Family’s highest grade technique available to the clan members.
“It’s really a case of ‘not noticing the willow tree that grows in the shade when you’re just planting flowers without a care’!”
With this technique, Lin Tianyun’s cultivation would surely progress with astonishing speed.
Given his unique attribute talent, he might even catch up with Lin Tianming, the fastest cultivator among them, or even surpass him!
One can imagine that under such circumstances, the breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage for the two great talents of the Lin Family was almost a sure thing, and even reaching the Nascent Soul Stage wasn’t out of the question.
“Hehe… bringing this technique back to the family, the Clan Leader and the rest will definitely be overjoyed!”
Lin Tianfeng thought to himself with a smile that stayed on his face, looking somewhat strange.
“Big brother, did you find something good?”
Lin Tianhong couldn’t help asking upon seeing his expression.
In response, Lin Tianfeng did not explain but simply stashed it directly into the storage bag that held his gains.
“Daoist Tianfeng, did you find something? Won’t you even let this little girl take a look?”
Sun Ling’er spoke with a tone of grievance, seemingly very dissatisfied.
Upon seeing this, Lin Tianfeng quickly said, “Fairy Sun, I swear by the Heavenly Dao that the item I just took is definitely of no use to you.
“But for our Lin Family, it is of great significance.”
“Therefore, I took it directly, but to compensate you, when we sort out the treasures later, our Lin Family will take one-tenth less, and I will owe you a favor.
“How does the Fairy feel about this proposal?”
Hearing this, Sun Ling’er’s expression finally improved a bit.
She knew in her heart that what Lin Tianfeng had taken was a Jade Slip, which was likely a Cultivation Technique or an inheritance of the Four Arts of Cultivation, and by not showing it to her, it was no doubt of significant rank, to avoid revealing any secrets.
After all, their relationship was merely one of mutual fondness; it was purely a partnership.
Thus, it made sense that he didn’t involve her in the handling of important items.
However, Lin Tianfeng was also tactful enough to know that taking advantage meant sharing some of the benefits and promising by the Heavenly Dao.
Otherwise, how many people can stay calm when faced with absolute benefits?
Besides, she did not internally insist on obtaining this item.
She was aware that if it were a Cultivation Technique, it would surely be differentiated by attributes.
And with her Three Spiritual Roots aptitude, not all of her root attributes were strong; the possibility of perfectly matching with that technique was quite low.
If it were an inheritance of the Four Arts of Cultivation, it would be even less useful to her.
After all, as a Loose Cultivator, she had been diligently cultivating for many years without practicing any of the Four Arts.
Having that item would only mean selling it, which carries great risks, and might not bring much profit.
In such a situation, the Jade Slip that Lin Tianfeng took indeed had little use for her; it was more practical to have a larger share of the benefits.
More importantly, it would put the Lin Family in her debt.
Considering all this, Sun Ling’er nodded and then replied, “Since Daoist Tianfeng has spoken thus, if I persist, it would appear ungracious!
“I only hope that Daoist Tianfeng remembers the promise and avoids unnecessary trouble!”
With that, Sun Ling’er’s tone became firm, and her expression turned stern.
Seeing Sun Ling’er’s expression and her firm tone, Lin Tianfeng smiled and tried to ingratiate himself.
“Fairy Sun rest assured, the men of the Lin Family are true to their word; we will not do anything despicable!”
Upon hearing this, the harshness on Sun Ling’er’s face slowly faded, and a genuine smile reappeared on her cheeks.
“The little girl indeed trusts the Lin Family and believes in the character of the fellow Daoists; otherwise, I would not have chosen to collaborate with you.”
“Since no one has any objections, let’s hurry up and clear out these things to see if there are any more treasures!”
Reminded by Sun Ling’er, Lin Tianfeng finally came to his senses and quickly led the others to start sorting through the remaining items.
