Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate-Chapter 1260 - 656: Clan Leader’s Decision

At this moment, Lin Shihua and Lin Tianyun heard Lin Tianyun’s explanation, and they both understood the significance of a Fourth Order Monster Insect appearing in Helan Country.

Especially Lin Shigong, who was still in shock.

It wasn’t that he lacked composure, but the news of the Fourth Order Monster Insect’s appearance was even more shocking than learning about the spirit stone mine vein of substantial scale and reserves.

After all, the strength of a Fourth Order Monster Insect was akin to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

In the entirety of Qingzhou, there were only a handful of Nascent Soul stage experts, each standing at the summit of Qingzhou’s power hierarchy, backed by a mighty faction.

Given such strength and backing, the influence brought by Nascent Soul cultivators naturally needs no further elaboration.

However, for a Monster Insect comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator to appear in the impoverished Helan Country was simply inconceivable.

Fortunately, this Fourth Order Monster Insect was still in dormancy and showed no signs of attacking the Human Race.

Otherwise, if this Monster Insect were to go on a mad spree attacking human cultivators, indiscriminately slaughtering people, with the combined cultivator forces of Helan Country and Golden Crow Country, they still wouldn’t be able to stop it.

Without external aid, it’s entirely possible that these two nations could suffer devastating damage or even complete annihilation.

As such, Lin Shihua and the others fully grasped the immense threat posed by this Fourth Order Monster Insect.

And this threat extended not just to Helan Country and Golden Crow Country, but to all Seven Southern Kingdoms of Qingzhou, which were under the potential danger of the Fourth Order Monster Insect.

This, when coupled with the spirit stone mine vein of unknown scale, also explained why Golden Core cultivators had been frequently appearing in Liusha Wasteland recently.

Strangely enough, after arriving in Liusha Wasteland, these Golden Core cultivators hadn’t made any moves, with their respective disciples merely stationed in the area.

Their actions were likely intended to avoid waking the Fourth Order Monster Insect, but probably had other motivations as well.

The simplest possibility was that the factions behind them were all vying for control over the spirit stone mine vein.

After all, the implications of a spirit stone mine vein were significant. Even a micro spirit stone mine vein, at the very least, could yield millions of low-grade spirit stones in value.

Judging from Lin Tianyun’s remarks, the spirit stone mine vein discovered in Liusha Wasteland was at minimum a small-scale vein.

There was even a considerable likelihood that it could be a medium-sized spirit stone vein.

At worst, even if it were only a small-scale vein, it would generate no less than thirty million low-grade spirit stones in revenue.

Should it truly be a medium-scale spirit stone mine vein, the profits would be several times greater, if not more.

With such lucrative interests at stake, no surrounding nation or Golden Elixir force would want to miss out. Everyone would try their best to claim a slice of the pie.

However, under the current circumstances, even for a Golden Elixir force, attempting to take control was far from easy.

The simplest reason being that if one force acted, it would inevitably face obstruction from other factions.

More critically, as long as the Fourth Order Monster Insect remained present and unhandled, no one dared to act.

Otherwise, waking that Monster Insect would mean near-certain death for anyone below the Nascent Soul realm attempting to mine spirit stones.

Additionally, this disaster would inevitably affect many surrounding forces in the vicinity of Liusha Wasteland.

Understanding the stakes and dangers involved, Lin Shihua had almost pieced together the causes and consequences of the entire incident.

Next, as the Lin Family Patriarch, he needed to weigh the pros and cons and determine whether the Lin Family should get involved.

Thinking of this, Lin Shihua glanced at Lin Tianyun and then asked a follow-up question.

"Tianyun, what kind of monster is that Fourth Order Monster Insect?"

"Apart from this, what have those factions done or planned regarding the spirit stone mine vein?"

Upon hearing the inquiry, Lin Tianyun paused briefly before responding, "Patriarch, this junior carefully investigated and confirmed that the Fourth Order Monster Insect is indeed an Earth Armored Dragon."

"Earth Armored Dragon!"

Hearing this, Lin Shihua remarked calmly, his expression visibly more relaxed.

He knew that the Earth Armored Dragon was a relatively docile type of demonic beast, spending almost the entirety of its life in slumber.

Furthermore, the Earth Armored Dragon had exceptional natural talent, an incredibly long lifespan, and rarely needed to ingest Heaven and Earth treasures. It required merely a location with abundant spiritual energy for its lair to achieve its growth.

Should it find a lair with concentrated spiritual energy, the Earth Armored Dragon’s growth and progression efficiency would vastly improve. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Considering that an Earth Armored Dragon emerged in Liusha Wasteland, it was likely due to the presence of the spirit stone mine vein.

Additionally, the Earth Armored Dragon, with its acute perception and mastery of earth-burrowing techniques, finding a spirit stone vein to serve as a lair was merely an innate capability.

Thus, the appearance of a Fourth Order Earth Armored Dragon in the barren Liusha Wasteland was quite reasonable.

Having considered these factors, Lin Shihua no longer felt astonished by the news of the Earth Armored Dragon in Liusha Wasteland.

At this time, Lin Tianyun also noticed Lin Shihua’s change in demeanor and understood that Lin Shihua had likely considered the Earth Armored Dragon’s habits.

Driven by these insights, Lin Shihua was no longer concerned about the reason behind the Earth Armored Dragon’s appearance.

However, as the Lin Family Patriarch, Lin Shihua’s priority was undoubtedly whether there was an opportunity or condition for the Lin Family to secure enough benefits.
