Chapter 1633: Chapter 844: Map (Part 2)
Moreover, Lin Tianming’s wealth is truly terrifying, and his standards are naturally high.
Throughout these years of battles in the north and south, Lin Tianming has acquired countless precious treasures.
Especially after the chaotic battle in Jinfeng Nation, more than half of Yuanchen Sect’s treasures fell into Lin Tianming’s hands.
Additionally, a significant portion of foundational resources from the Tianqing Sect and the two major families of Xie and Li also ended up with Lin Tianming.
With such a foundation, it’s not an exaggeration to say that even Nascent Soul Stage experts might not compare to Lin Tianming’s wealth and treasures.
In these circumstances, only treasures with particularly high value and rarity can catch Lin Tianming’s eye.
However, such treasures are scarce and hard to co by in the current Cultivation World.
Looking at the cultivators setting up stalls here, the majority are Qi Refinent cultivators, and Foundation Establishnt cultivators constitute less than twenty percent of the total.
The result is that the likelihood of high-value treasures appearing is extrely low.
Therefore, Lin Tianming casually glanced at the crowd, and the treasures laid out in front of dozens of stall cultivators were easily screened by him.
As expected, it was unlikely for anything to appear that would truly move him.
Lin Tianming had anticipated and prepared for this outco, so he didn’t feel disappointed after finding no worthwhile items.
Very soon, Lin Tianming’s gaze stopped on a Foundation Establishnt Fifth Level cultivator after surveying the area.
In Lin Tianming’s sight, this cultivator had the appearance of a middle-aged man.
People like him were common at Qianyuan Market, appearing extrely ordinary.
However, in the face of Lin Tianming’s powerful Divine Sense, the disguise of this person was completely ineffective.
Instead, Lin Tianming saw a beautiful female cultivator, whose cultivation was not Foundation Establishnt Fifth Level, but rather Foundation Establishnt Ninth Level.
As for why this female cultivator hid her true identity and cultivation level, Lin Tianming was indifferent.
What actually mattered to him was the beast skin map laid before her.
The map looked ordinary, with its surface seemingly covered by a restriction obscuring specific contents.
However, this restriction was designed such that a small corner of the map remained visible, revealing markings of so unknown valleys and mountains.
This evidence proved the map’s specific function.
And this restriction wasn’t particularly clever; though a Foundation Establishnt cultivator couldn’t discern it, it could even block the Divine Sense probe of a typical Golden Core Stage cultivator.
But who exactly was Lin Tianming?
His powerful Divine Sense, coupled with the aid of the Eye of Five Colors, allowed him to see the obscured portion of the map.
Yet even so, without knowing the map’s contents, it generally wouldn’t draw Lin Tianming’s attention.
After all, maps such as these were being sold or traded by dozens on the stall-lined square.
If every vague map could catch Lin Tianming’s interest…
Then, given Lin Tianming’s usual deanor, regardless of the cost, anything riting his attention was sothing he would undoubtedly acquire.
Thus, it would be quite unrealistic.
In fact, there were several reasons why this particular map stood out among the many in the marketplace and caught Lin Tianming’s interest.
Firstly, the material of this map was distinctly different from the plain ones.
This difference might be hard for the average person to discern.
Yet Lin Tianming, having battled across the land, was sowhat knowledgeable.
Imdiately, Lin Tianming recognized the material of this map; it was at least made from the Beast Skin of a Third Order Demon Beast.
Furthermore, the female’s bone age was under eighty years.
By reaching Foundation Establishnt Ninth Level at that age, it indicated that her talent was considerable and she had acquired nurous opportunities.
Based on these circumstances, if this female were from a Golden Elixir Force, it would be reasonable for her to reach such heights with the support of powerful elders and resources.
Indeed, such cases are not uncommon in the Cultivation World.
Consider the Lin Family: apart from Lin Tianming and his wife and Lin Tianyun with his Wind Spirit Root, several Golden Core Stage clansn had reached Foundation Establishnt Ninth Level by age seventy.
Looking at other Golden Elixir Forces, even in ordinary Golden Core Families, the number of sect disciples exhibiting such cultivation speed would not be too many but is certainly not unprecedented.
Given this scenario, a cultivator with the backing of a Golden Elixir Force achieving Foundation Establishnt Ninth Level by seventy implies good talent and opportunities.
However, if this person were actually a Loose Cultivator reaching Foundation Establishnt Ninth Level before eighty, it would demonstrate outstanding talent and potential.
Lin Tianming tended to believe she belonged to the latter category.
This realization only underscored her extraordinary nature.
With this fact, upon discovering her age and cultivation level, Lin Tianming beca sowhat intrigued.
Moreover, her unstable aura seed indicative of having suffered a fairly significant injury recently.
These reasons prompted Lin Tianming to pay close attention to the map upon seeing it.
As a result, after lingering on this female cultivator for a mont, Lin Tianming slowly walked over to her location.
Soon, Lin Tianming reached the stall and, with a single hand, grasped the map from afar and examined it.
By this ti, the woman still had the appearance of a middle-aged man, sitting cross-legged with eyes closed, indifferent to Lin Tianming’s arrival and actions.
Why she reacted this way, whether it was confidence that Lin Tianming would uncover nothing or simply her innate arrogance, refusing to engage the Foundation Establishnt Seventh Level cultivator before her, was unknown.
To this, Lin Tianming smiled, genuinely unconcerned.
Then, having toyed with the map montarily, Lin Tianming confird the map detailed the entry route to certain valleys and mountain ranges.
The map also marked a location potentially holding fortune treasures or hidden dangers.
Unfortunately, despite scrutinizing the map, Lin Tianming couldn’t identify the location.
He had no recollection of which country or specific area it pertained to.
This uncertainty suggested the map could refer to any nation in Qingzhou or perhaps point to a secret realm or perilous zone.
In summary, deducing the precise source from the map’s information was no simple task.
Nonetheless, Lin Tianming retained a vague feeling that the map was not ordinary.
Considering its creation from the relatively precious Beast Skin of a Third Order Demon Beast, he was convinced of its uniqueness.
Furthermore, Lin Tianming trusted his instincts.
Therefore, regardless of whether the location could be found, he felt compelled to acquire the map.
