NOVPUBChapter 946: Chapter 502 Abundant Wealth_2 Chapter 946: Chapter 502 Abundant Wealth_2 Regaining his composure, Lin Shihua looked at Lin Shikang and the others beside him, nodded to each other, and then began giving instructions to Lin Xingrong and his group.
“You three, each choose three family members to follow and be ready to set out as soon as possible.”
“Go!”
“Rest assured, Twelfth Uncle, we brothers will take our leave now!”
Lin Xingrong and the other two bowed respectfully, then left the cave dwelling together.
Watching them disappear, Lin Shihua’s expression grew solemn, and he then sighed deeply.
Seeing this, Lin Shikang said, “Shihua, Xingrong and the others handle things very stably.”
...
“With our Lin Family’s current standing which is no longer as before, the Zhenyang Sect should not trouble us either, or else they wouldn’t have announced the results publicly so readily.”
“As for the other powers, aside from the larger Commerce Alliances, there aren’t many that pose a real challenge to our Lin Family.” 𝚗ovp𝚞b.𝚌om
“So, this matter, while taxing, is not fraught with great difficulty; you all need not worry too much.”
Hearing Lin Shikang speak this way, Lin Shihua couldn’t help but nod, thinking that it indeed made sense.
After all, the Lin Family had an agreement with the Zhenyang Sect. The handover was not dangerous, but rather complicated with various accounts likely numerous.
Thus, Lin Xingrong and the others probably wouldn’t have much free time in the coming year.
However, this was also good, as long as there was no danger, a year of hard work was nothing too severe.
Thinking this, Lin Shihua’s worries faded quite a bit.
Then, the clan members of Lin’s generation chatted leisurely for half an hour, discussed some family affairs, and then each went their way.
…
Time rushed by, and several months passed.
Inside a cave dwelling at the main peak, Lin Tianming opened his tightly shut eyes, a trace of sharpness flashing across them.
He then took a deep breath and a satisfied smile crossed his face.
“Ha ha… After nearly half a year of seclusion, I have finally refined the Blood Jade Ginseng and the Moon Soul Fruit.”
Lin Tianming chuckled contentedly, muttering to himself.
Over the months, he had been in seclusion, cultivating continuously, and had consumed the Blood Jade Ginseng and the Moon Soul Fruit.
Having refined these two treasures, his cultivation had not increased much, and he felt that the Mid Stage Golden Core was still a long way off.
Since reaching the Golden Core Stage, he had not made any significant improvements.
But now with the aid of this Blood Jade Ginseng, his Golden Core True Essence felt more than thirty percent greater than before.
Do not underestimate this thirty percent of True Yuan; in a battle of the same intensity, it could extend his magic duel capacity by nearly a third.
In some critical moments, it could even reverse the battlefield, allowing him to secure the final victory.
Thus, this minor improvement was thus quite significant for him.
If he had about ten or eight similar treasures, he felt confident in advancing to the Mid Stage Golden Core.
However, that was just wishful thinking, as even this single Blood Jade Ginseng had cost him quite a bit.
If treasures were so easily obtained, the Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World would not have just over a dozen Golden Core Cultivators.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming still felt rather satisfied with this improvement in his cultivation.
Apart from that, the enhancement in Divine Sense and Soul made possible by the Moon Soul Fruit was even more thrilling for him.
So far, with the aid of the Moon Soul Fruit, he discovered that his Divine Sense had grown by more than ten percent, and his Soul had become even more robust and stable.
That may seem less than the thirty percent increase in cultivation.
But the growth of Divine Sense is extremely slow and exceptionally difficult unless one advances a whole realm.
Otherwise, without secret techniques or the aid of Heaven and Earth Treasures, ordinary cultivators simply cannot enhance it naturally.
And this time, using this Moon Soul Fruit, he managed to directly increase his Divine Sense by over ten percent, and even strengthened his Soul.
It could be said that the enhancement the Moon Soul Fruit brought him was comprehensive.
Now, he felt in excellent condition and supposed it would be much easier to wield the Heaven and Earth Sword Lotus, a Divine Skill of great potency, once again.
Moreover, if he were to concoct elixirs later on, he could significantly increase both efficiency and the slight chance of success.
Such improvements, in his eyes, were of greater benefit than those brought about by the increase in his Golden Core True Essence, and certainly justified the great cost he had incurred to acquire this item.
Looking back, the decision to secure the Moon Soul Fruit had indeed been a wise one.
Having calmed his excited emotions, Lin Tianming did not immediately leave his retreat.
There was still a full half-month before the six-month agreement was due.
This time was not long, and without any Heaven and Earth Treasures at hand, he could no longer enhance his cultivation strength.
However, being completely idle was not his style.
Therefore, he planned to spend these ten and a half days thoroughly inventorying the various treasures he had accumulated previously.
And, if possible, he intended to try and refine the Third Order Dan Furnace he had obtained from the Golden Sword Sect’s Treasure Vault.
If he could successfully refine it, it would save him time when concocting pills in the future.
At the same time, he could also make thorough preparations to enhance his competitiveness on his trip to the Huangyang Kingdom and at the very least, ensure some measure of safety.
Resolved, Lin Tianming set to work.
He casually took out several storage bags and then extended his Divine Sense to inspect the numerous treasures within.
Although he had a rough idea of how vast his assets were, reviewing them again still made him breathe rapidly.
Finally calmed a bit, Lin Tianming began classifying each item, starting from the Second Order Treasures, and storing elixirs and weapon forging Spiritual Objects separately.
Heavenly Yin Herb, Su Ling Flower, Solid Heart Stone…
Each item was categorized and stored, spanning an extremely wide range of types and grades, almost equivalent to a Foundation Establishing Family’s Treasure Vault.
After half an hour of inventorying, Lin Tianming had a renewed understanding of his wealth.
According to his count, up to now, the volume of treasures he possessed was simply too substantial, the majority of which had come from Xu Zhi, along with spoils from the great battle between the three sects.
Among these spoils, he had kept some of the more useful treasures, such as various grades and types of Spiritual Medicine, as well as several Third and Fourth Order Treasures he intended to use for weapon forging.
Aside from these, the largest share of his wealth was in Spirit Stones, totaling over seventy thousand Medium-Grade Spirit Stones and several hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
The total value of these Spirit Stones, converted into Low-Grade Spirit Stones, amounted to over seven million pieces, not counting various Magical Treasures, Spiritual Medicine, Spirit Ore, and inherited knowledge.
Should he count those treasures, it could easily surpass ten million Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and reaching twenty million Low-Grade Spirit Stones was not out of the question.
Despite being aware of such vast assets, he still found it unbelievable as he reassessed them.
As for the Third and Fourth Order items allotted by the family, apart from the few pieces he kept for his own use, the rest were all stored within the family’s Treasure Vault.
And he, too, had the right to use these items.
However, it seemed unlikely that he would have many opportunities to pick items from the vault.
Because the family’s treasures hardly contained any items that could enhance cultivation.
Even if they did, there were many Golden Core Stage Clansmen in the family, and it wouldn’t be fair for him to monopolize them all.
Besides, the only treasures within the family that could potentially aid in cultivation enhancement were just a few Spirit Dragon Pills.
Even though he had quite a few of these elixirs on hand, he could not use them at the moment without pills to suppress the pain.
Unless he could quickly overcome this obstacle, his cultivation could not benefit from these elixirs for the time being.
Conversely, once he solved this issue, his cultivation could enter a phase of rapid improvement.
At present, the only hope was to try using the Dry Jade Pill Recipe he had initially acquired from the family’s Treasure Vault.
