NOVPUBChapter 836: Chapter 449: Black Dragon Axe, Dye Stone_2 Chapter 836: Chapter 449: Black Dragon Axe, Dye Stone_2 After his estimation, the accumulation of these known resources definitely exceeded several million low-grade Spirit Stones.
Apart from these items, there were two other things he was unable to identify.
At this moment, he had two items laid out in front of him: one was a black stone the size of a fist.
The other item was a jade slip the size of a palm.
At this time, Lin Tianming picked up the black stone and examined it, a satisfied smile spreading quickly across his face.
Through his observation, he discovered that this black stone was actually a piece of Fourth Order Spirit Ore Dye Stone.
It was hard to imagine that Meng Qingfeng, who was only at the Early Stage Golden Core, possessed such a treasure.
...
This item was quite rare; in the Cultivation World, it was extremely scarce. Every time it appeared, even Nascent Soul Cultivators might be alarmed.
Because the Dye Stone had significant uses, even the Spiritual Treasures used by Nascent Soul Cultivators had need of it, and even such powerful beings would scheme to obtain it when they came across the stone.
Therefore, this Dye Stone was an invaluable treasure for Golden Core Cultivators, to say the least.
After all, it was an excellent Artifact Refining Material. No matter what weapon was being refined, the addition of a fingertip-sized piece of Dye Stone could greatly increase the toughness of the weapon.
This piece of Dye Stone was not of a small quantity and could be used multiple times in refining ordinary Magical Treasures.
He didn’t know where Meng Qingfeng had acquired it from, but his luck was not good, having such a fine treasure in his hands and now it had fallen into his, Lin Tianming’s, own lap.
With this piece of Dye Stone, when he came to refine his Life-bound Magical Treasure in the future, the addition of a little bit would greatly enhance the toughness of the Magical Treasure, and consequently, its combat power would also be enhanced.
The thought of this left Lin Tianming brimming with excitement, his face nearly splitting with a grin.
After calming himself down with some effort, he put the Dye Stone away and then picked up the other piece, the jade slip.
Upon closer inspection, this jade slip was a light yellow color, with a smooth, delicate surface that was somewhat transparent; it looked no different from ordinary worldly jade.
However, being carried by a Golden Core Cultivator, it was bound to be no ordinary stone.
Realizing this, Lin Tianming opened his Eye of Five Colors, his sharp gaze piercing through the internal structure of the jade slip.
But even so, he still found nothing special.
“Could it really just be a common worldly jade stone?”
Lin Tianming was utterly puzzled and contemplated nonstop.
His thoughts turned this way; it wasn’t impossible, as Meng Qingfeng might have originated from the mortal realm, having kept a family heirloom from childhood. Even after stepping onto the Path of Immortality, it was possible that he kept this item out of sentimentality.
But after careful thought, Lin Tianming felt that this idea was farfetched.
Hence, the persistent Lin Tianming began to use various methods, attacking the jade piece and even using the Blue Heart True Flame to burn and refine it, unable to damage it.
Considering that it withstood his current Cultivation Realm, plus the Blue Heart True Flame which was stronger than any pill fire, it was definitely no ordinary jade.
Thus, it appeared that even though the jade’s purpose was not yet discernible, it was certainly not ordinary.
Knowing this, Lin Tianming felt rather helpless but decided to collect the jade slip; perhaps if the opportunity arose in the future, he might unravel the secrets it concealed.
Lin Tianming’s thoughts returned and he gradually regained his composure.
At this moment, he tidied up the secret room and then rose to leave.
Half an hour later, Lin Tianming summoned Lin Xingcheng to join him, and the two sat in a large hall chatting.
Upon seeing Lin Tianming, Lin Xingcheng was also very excited.
Just one month ago, he had received a message from Lin Shihua, instructing him to signal Lin Tianming to exit seclusion and hurry back to the family after a little over a month.
Seeing that there was no sign of Lin Tianming exiting seclusion, he hesitated, fearing that forcing him out would prevent his injuries from healing.
After all, the injuries Lin Tianming had received were not light, and a common cultivator would need at least half a year to recover.
And now, looking at Lin Tianming whose aura was robust, he clearly had recovered to his peak.
Otherwise, if another half month passed without him leaving seclusion, he would have to follow Lin Shihua’s orders and forcefully summon him out.
Fortunately, Lin Tianming emerged in time, which alleviated his worries.
Following a brief chat between the two, Lin Tianming first inquired about Lin Xingcheng regarding the current news in the Cultivation World.
Especially concerning the Huangyang Kingdom, any significant movements by the Qingyun Sect were extremely important to him.
After all, the Lin Family had just ended a major battle with Xu Zhi and others, having annihilated most of their forces.
Since they had made enemies, with the strength of the Qingyun Sect in mind, they certainly would not take this lying down.
Hence, the movements of the Qingyun Sect were Lin Family’s and his biggest concern.
Lin Xingcheng clearly understood this, and he did not dare to delay, promptly giving an overview of the situation in the Cultivation World.
Learning that the Qingyun Sect had not amassed forces to invade, and not even a Qingyun Sect cultivator had been detected in the vicinity of the Luoyun Mountain Range, Lin Tianming was quite surprised.
Given the strength of the Qingyun Sect, even if the Lin Family now had four Golden Core combatants, in a full-out clan-annihilating war, the Lin Family would certainly be no match for them.
Yet, the Qingyun Sect had oddly made no move against the Lin Family and had instead shifted their direction of attack, launching a new offensive from other areas bordering the Wei Kingdom.
As for the other two major sects of the Huangyang Kingdom, they continued their assaults deep into the Wei Kingdom, with both Myriad Medicine Valley and the Zhenyang Sect suffering significant losses.
Currently, both Myriad Medicine Valley and the Zhenyang Sect were contracting their lines to avoid a direct confrontation with the three sects of the Huangyang Kingdom.
This seemed to be a deliberate stalling tactic.
Learning this news, Lin Tianming’s expression also became solemn.
However, those tricky matters were not his to worry about right now.
After all, having endured for so many years, Myriad Medicine Valley and the Zhenyang Sect, with the support of the West River Li Family and the Yingchuan Chen Family, would not fall to the Golden Sword Sect in a short time.
And since the Qingyun Sect had not immediately bothered the Lin Family but had changed their direction of attack, it was clear they planned to temporarily avoid the Lin Family’s edge.
In this case, the Lin Family likely wouldn’t face any danger in the short term.
Realizing this, Lin Tianming breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Lin Tianming gave a series of instructions, telling Lin Xingcheng to prepare for defense and various emergency situations to avoid unnecessary losses during this turbulent time.
In response, Lin Xingcheng nodded, affirming that he had made all the emergency preparations.
Soon after, Lin Xingcheng also brought up the message from Lin Shihua, asking him to return to the clan territory as soon as possible.
Knowing this, Lin Tianming felt puzzled.
Could it be that some unexpected event had happened on the family side? Or had Fifteenth Grandfather achieved a breakthrough in reaching the Golden Core Stage?
Unfortunately, Lin Xingcheng did not know the specifics, clearly Lin Shihua had not elaborated.
But after some contemplation, Lin Tianming realized that Lin Shilu had been in closed-door cultivation for around two to three years.
Judging by the timeline, it was about time for some results.
Lin Tianming thought to himself, assuming that there had been significant progress with Lin Shilu.
Finally calming down a bit, he planned to immediately set off to return to the family.
After Lin Tianming mentioned leaving Luoyun Market, Lin Xingcheng casually took out more than a hundred storage bags and handed them over to Lin Tianming.
“Tian Ming, these are the spoils from annihilating those Qingyun Sect disciples. Your uncle collected them and hasn’t touched them; now they are yours!”
Hearing this, Lin Tianming did not refuse, taking the storage bags into his possession.
These storage bags, mostly from Foundation Establishment Cultivators, also included some from the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, must have accumulated considerable value.
However, having killed Meng Qingfeng and acquired a vast amount of wealth and treasures, Lin Tianming found himself quite well-off.
The possessions of those Foundation Establishment Cultivators could no longer pique his interest.
Thus, he decided to hand over all these storage bags to the family to enrich the family’s treasure vault.
After taking the storage bags, Lin Tianming chatted briefly with Lin Xingcheng and then stood up to bid farewell and leave.
Silently, he left Luoyun Market and then rode the Purple Gold Eagle towards the Green Bamboo Mountain Clan Territory.
