Even if these materials can’t be used to refine high-quality Spiritual Artifacts, they could serve as practice for low-level Artifact Refiners.
After collecting these items, the two quickly burned the corpses, disposed of the scene, and began to seep around the area once more, continuing their search for traces of Demonic Beasts.
Nanshan Town.
Nanshan Town is one of the fifteen major towns of Golden Horn Mountain. It was once a mortal town under the Jin Family, with a population exceeding one hundred thousand. Among the many towns controlled by the Lin Family, it has a relatively large population.
Outside the town, in a vast expanse of farmland.
Lin Xingpu, along with two Lin Family mbers, was exterminating so Low-order Monster Beasts, numbering only seven or eight,
...
clearly having strayed from the Luoyun Mountain Range.
“Act quickly and eliminate them, there are still many places waiting for us to clear!”
At that command, Lin Xingpu brandished his Spirit Sword, reaping the lives of the Demonic Beasts.
With the Demonic Beasts eradicated, Lin Xingpu led his clanspeople once again in searching for traces of beasts in the vicinity of Nanshan Town.
…
Green Bamboo Mountain.
Outside the Lin Family Clan Grounds, within several different valleys,
Lin Tianhong, Lin Tianhu, Lin Tianqin, Lin Tianyue, and Lin Xingcheng, five Foundation Establishnt Clan mbers, were leading groups of more than fifty clansn at the Fifth Level of Qi Refinent or above, divided into five teams, to start clearing the Low-order Monster Beasts around the clan territory.
For the clan territory, the family had dispatched the most people,
all of whom were recent breakthroughs to the Foundation Establishnt within the family.
Considering the relative safety around the clan territory, these clan mbers, who needed to be hidden, were sent out, leading middle-generation Qi Refining Clanspeople to exterminate the Monster Beasts near the family.
Under such a sizable assembly, the efficiency of these teams was high, and a large number of Demonic Beasts were slain.
With each group of Monsters defeated, the five teams continued to infiltrate deeper into the Luoyun Mountain, striving for even greater victories.
…
Luoyun Market.
In the Market City Hall, Lin Shilu sat in a high seat, with people like Lin Xingyuan and Lin Xingzhi seated below him.
Further down, Luo Chenggu of the Luo Family and Sun Ruiyang of the Sun Family were also sitting.
Below the Foundation Establishnt Cultivators, the spacious and grand hall was lined with over a hundred seats,
each occupied by a Cultivator.
After several days of waiting, the majority of Qi Refining Families from the Luoyun Mountain Range had responded to the call of the Lin Family,
and sent clan mbers to station in the Market, assisting in defending against the Beast Tide.
There were also so Qi Refining Families who made excuses and refused the summoning of the Lin Family mbers in secret.
As for this, the Lin Family mbers in charge sneered inwardly, knowing that even a family with the strength of the Lin Family dared not take the slightest risk under the onslaught of the Beast Tide.
It was precisely because of this that they had notified these families in advance, aiming to gather the strength of everyone, not only to preserve the strength of the Lin Family as much as possible but also for the greater good, to preserve the overall strength of the Luoyun Mountain Range.
Yet there were still those self-righteous families who thought the Lin Family was crying wolf.
As for those in charge of summoning the families, they did not persuade them too much; if they participated reluctantly, having such thoughts, they would hardly be effective with their discontent and disaffection.
Furthermore, the absence of a few Qi Refining Families had virtually no impact on Luoyun Market.
And these Qi Refining Families still believed they were indispensable, which was a joke indeed.
Inside the hall.
Lin Shilu sat in the high seat, his potent aura subtly revealed.
Among the nurous Cultivators below, feeling this alternatingly tangible and intangible oppressive aura, many were overco with inner trepidation.
At this ti, Luo Chenggu was imnsely shocked. Before the great battle at Luoyun Mountain, Lin Shilu and he had both been at the Foundation Building Fourth Level.
Now, barely twenty years had passed, and Lin Shilu had already reached the Foundation Establishnt Seventh Level. Such a terrifying pace of advancent was indeed horrifying.
As for himself, having been injured in the great battle, twenty years on, he had managed to cultivate only to the Foundation Establishnt Fifth Level and simply couldn’t compare.
Sun Ruiyang was equally taken aback by Lin Shilu’s cultivation. He had also participated in the Market City’s competition,
with the Sun Family being led by Sun Dingfeng and the Lin Family by Lin Shilu.
Back then, Sun Ruiyang’s elder Sun Dingfeng was a level higher in cultivation than Lin Shilu. In all these years, Sun Dingfeng had only broken through to the Foundation Establishnt Sixth Level two years ago, yet Lin Shilu had unexpectedly surpassed him in cultivation.
Moreover, the aura that Lin Shilu revealed was as intimidating as Sun Dingxian’s, who was at Foundation Establishnt Eighth Level.
In such a scenario, the most powerful mber of the Lin Family, Lin Shikang, might have already reached the complete Foundation Establishnt realm.
Considering the Lin Family’s publicly known eight Foundation Establishnt Clan mbers, such formidable strength was even stronger than the Jin Family at their peak.
With these thoughts, Sun Ruiyang inwardly sighed: “The Lin Family has soared to the skies and risen irresistibly. The power dynamics among the Luoyun Mountain families are no longer as evenly matched as before!”
Such thoughts were shared by Luo Chenggu, who inwardly thought that once the Beast Tide ended, the Luo Family might not be able to engage in the little maneuvers they used to, as angering the Lin Family could an the Luo Family, even if allied with the Sun Family, would not be a match for the Lin Family.
With this in mind, keeping a low profile and discreetly developing one’s clan mbers was the strategy the Luo Family ought to implent.
At this mont, as Luo Chenggu and Sun Ruiyang harbored such thoughts, the representatives of the Qi Refining Families were similarly relieved that they had heeded the call of the Lin Family; otherwise, when the Beast Tide was over, if the Lin Family settled accounts afterward, how could they resist?
anwhile, they also worried for those families who refused to heed the call, even hoping that the Lin Family would deal with those with grievances or friction between them.
