Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate-Chapter 1253 - 652: Dragon Beard Vine_2

Having made up his mind, Lin Tianming first took out Xie Changyang and Li Wenhai’s storage bracelets and jade pendants, placing them in front of Qin Xi and himself.

Upon seeing these items, Qin Xi immediately understood whose hands these treasures had come from, especially given Lin Tianming’s astonishing battle achievements.

Moreover, when she thought about Xie Changyang and Li Wenhai’s Late Stage Golden Core cultivation level and their lineage from families with histories spanning tens of thousands of years, she knew their wealth must be significant.

For a moment, Qin Xi became slightly impatient herself.

She wasn’t the only one; Lin Tianming’s heart was equally filled with excitement, his anticipation no weaker than Qin Xi’s.

Thus, Lin Tianming handed Li Wenhai’s jade pendant to Qin Xi, allowing her to inventory its treasures.

As for Lin Tianming, he quickly took up Xie Changyang’s storage bracelet, effortlessly removing the traces of residual Divine Sense with just a few moves.

Soon, a space of over a hundred zhang in size appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.

Within this space, four distinct areas were laid out, each storing different treasures.

Seeing this arrangement, Lin Tianming understood that the regions must be designated for storing various types of treasures.

For instance, the larger areas likely housed living creatures or Spirit Beasts.

However, when Xie Changyang had fought against him, he didn’t summon any Spirit Beasts to assist, perhaps because their grade wasn’t high enough. Even if they had been summoned, they likely wouldn’t have contributed much to a battle of their caliber, and could have even distracted him.

Another possibility was that Xie Changyang hadn’t brought any Spirit Beasts with him.

Thinking about these scenarios, Lin Tianming decided against checking the other regions first, instead choosing to inventory the largest area.

As expected, in the largest region, there were only a few Spirit Beasts. Among them, the highest-grade beast was merely at the Third Order Early Stage, and it was an average-bloodline Qilin Beast.

This Qilin Beast was a type of Demonic Beast noted for its strong attack power, but its defensive power and mobility were fairly mediocre.

Even then, the Qilin Beast’s strength wasn’t worth much to Lin Tianming in his eyes.

Aside from the Qilin Beast, the other beasts were all at the Second Order Late Phase, with neither strength nor talent that piqued Lin Tianming’s interest.

Nevertheless, Lin Tianming didn’t plan to kill them outright.

After all, even the lowest tier among these Demonic Beasts had reached the Second Order Late Phase. Although they didn’t appeal to him, the Lin Family’s other members below the Golden Core level would surely covet them.

In his opinion, these Spirit Beasts should remain stored in the storage bracelet.

Once he returned to the family, he could attempt to tame the Qilin Beast.

If the Qilin Beast proved obedient, he could keep it for guarding the family estate in the future, serving as a decent asset.

As for the other Second Order Demonic Beasts, they could be left for the family members to try taming.

If they resisted fiercely and proved unmanageable, then there would be no need to keep them.

Having settled on a plan, Lin Tianming shifted his attention to another region.

Soon, the contents of this secondary region came into his Sea of Consciousness.

Upon closer inspection, this area wasn’t particularly large, spanning only about ten zhang.

As for its contents, they consisted of Mid-Low Grade Spirit Stones.

After roughly calculating, he found that the Spirit Stones primarily consisted of Medium Grade Spirit Stones, with Low-Grade Spirit Stones numbering just over a hundred thousand. Their combined value, converted to Low-Grade Spirit Stones, was approximately four million.

Lin Tianming was somewhat disappointed with this amount of Spirit Stones.

It was well known that even Early Stage Golden Core cultivators he had previously defeated had similar reserves of Spirit Stones.

In fact, many Mid Stage Golden Core strongmen, even Loose Cultivators, could easily own Spirit Stone reserves exceeding several million.

On the other hand, given Xie Changyang’s Late Stage Golden Core cultivation level in a place like Jinfeng Nation, he was considered an exceptional powerhouse.

Moreover, being the foremost expert of the Xie Family, a long-standing clan, he should theoretically have an incredibly rich stash of Spirit Stones.

Yet, his supply of Spirit Stones, only worth four million Low-Grade Spirit Stones, seemed entirely mismatched with his status and strength.

However, upon deeper reflection, Lin Tianming found some reasons for these circumstances.

From his perspective, someone of Xie Changyang’s status and rank wouldn’t have much use for Spirit Stones.

After all, the treasures required by Late Stage Golden Core cultivators typically couldn’t be bought with Spirit Stones.

Most cultivators at this level relied more on item exchanges, as common Mid-Low Grade Spirit Stones had poor liquidity and were mostly used by cultivators below the Golden Core Stage.

More importantly, as the leading figure of the Xie Family, whenever Xie Changyang required treasures, he could simply rely on the family’s collective power to acquire them.

This explained why Xie Changyang wouldn’t need to keep many Mid-Low Grade Spirit Stones.

Understanding this, Lin Tianming no longer fretted over the matter and redirected his focus to the remaining two areas.

He speculated that since Xie Changyang didn’t carry Spirit Stones, he likely contained treasures more suited to his status and strength.

With this expectation, Lin Tianming quickly resumed his search.

Soon enough, he had cleared out the third region.

Sure enough, as he had anticipated, it contained various treasures for cultivation, including Third Order Pills, talisman paper, Spiritual Medicine Materials, and minerals along with an assortment of Artifact Refining Materials.

Among these treasures, most were at the Second and Third Order level, items that, for Lin Tianming, were of little use.

The only things that truly intrigued Lin Tianming were Fourth Order Treasures or especially valuable Third Order Treasures.

Fortunately, Xie Changyang lived up to his reputation as the leading expert of a prominent family and indeed carried numerous rare items.

After carefully sifting through the collection, Lin Tianming found five Fourth Order Treasures, including two Fourth Order Spiritual Medicine Materials: Mixed Element Grass and Six-leaved Magnolia Ganoderma.

These two plants were Fourth Order treasures, auxiliary ingredients for refining Fourth Order Elixirs that could help Nascent Soul cultivators accelerate their cultivation progress.

Overall, these two plants were considered precious species in the current Cultivation World, making them highly valuable.

And as an Alchemist, Lin Tianming was most familiar with such items, which were also his most vital collection targets.

Among the remaining three Fourth Order Treasures was a vine-like branch the length of an arm, known as Dragon Beard Vine.

The Dragon Beard Vine was renowned among Fourth Order Spiritual Materials for its extraordinary toughness, ranking among the top in its grade.

This material could be used as an auxiliary component for refining weapons and Spiritual Treasures for Nascent Soul experts.

If even a small segment of Dragon Beard Vine was incorporated into a Spiritual Treasure, it could greatly enhance its resilience, preventing its destruction by opponents.

The Dragon Beard Vine Lin Tianming had obtained was arm-length and thicker than his thumb, representing an exceptionally rare version of this material.

If he advanced into the Nascent Soul Stage in the future, he planned to refine his own Spiritual Treasure.

At that time, this Dragon Beard Vine could be used at least twice.

As such, its value was exceedingly high, far surpassing that of the two Spiritual Medicine Materials.

Beyond the three Fourth Order Treasures, the other two were fist-sized mineral stones with varying uses.

Though considered relatively ordinary among Fourth Order minerals, and less valuable than the Spiritual Medicine Materials, they couldn’t even compare to the Dragon Beard Vine.

Nonetheless, the five Fourth Order Treasures, being of such high grade, were undeniably precious.

At this tier, even auxiliary materials held great value for Golden Core cultivators.

From this perspective, each of these items was worth its weight in gold.

Quantifying their total value proved impossible for Lin Tianming.
