Chapter 972: Chapter 515 Five Poison Mountain_2 Chapter 972: Chapter 515 Five Poison Mountain_2 To understand that the Golden Core Stage acts as a watershed in all of Qingzhou, one could say it is significant.
Even in the entire Wei Kingdom, and even in the stronger Huangyang Kingdom, the number of Golden Core Cultivators is extrely limited.
In such circumstances, once one enters the Golden Core Stage, one can be considered to have stepped into the ranks of High Order Cultivators.
At this level, not to ntion dominating the whole of Qingzhou, at least within the bounds of an ordinary country, one can already move unhindered.
Tang Xiuyuan and the person in front of him joined the Comrce Alliance under the Tang Family to secure the limited Core Formation resources from within the family; managing a shop was a stable path for them.
Because managing a shop is relatively easy, and certainly safer than treasure hunting, it’s just more ti-consuming.
However, for those whose talent is not outstanding but still above average, being able to secure opportunities more securely is definitely preferable to living on the edge.
...
That being said, the identity and status of the person in front of him should also fall within the range he had speculated.
Yet even so, the Tang Family’s reputation is not small, so much so that even an ordinary Foundation Establishnt Cultivator wouldn’t want to provoke a Golden Core Cultivator.
Although Lin Tianming had already reached the Golden Core Stage, and his strength far surpassed those of the sa rank, he currently intended to conceal his movents, showing only the cultivation of the Foundation Establishnt Eighth Level Realm.
In this case, Lin Tianming was quite polite, standing up imdiately to greet the Tang Family cultivator.
“I am Chen Tian, greetings to Daoist Tang!”
“Haha… It’s a pleasure to et you, Daoist Chen.”
“I am Tang Changxin, in charge here at the Sky Dragon Pavilion. May I know what treasure you are seeking?”
Tang Changxin politely returned the greeting and then inquired about Lin Tianming’s purpose.
Lin Tianming responded with a light smile, not imdiately revealing his intentions, but instead struck up casual conversation with Tang Changxin.
“Daoist Tang, I once had an acquaintance with Daoist Tang Xiuyuan. I don’t know if you are familiar with him?”
“Oh?”
“So it’s an old friend of the family uncle, then we truly are fated!”
Tang Changxin spoke with a smile, his tone and attitude beca much more relaxed, at least not as stern as at the beginning.
From Tang Changxin’s words, Lin Tianming could hear so information, indicating that Tang Xiuyuan was indeed well-acquainted with him and was of a higher generation.
Speaking of which, such a difference in generations, in families like the Tang Family with a millennia-long heritage, is also quite normal.
After all, those large families have nurous clan mbers, and their generational hierarchy varies, with many clan mbers of the sa age but varying significantly in seniority.
Take the Lin Family, for instance, the youngest of the Xing Generation clan mbers isn’t much older than Lin Tianming of the Tian Generation.
Such situations are all too common in the Cultivation World.
Seeing Tang Changxin speak like this, Lin Tianming was not surprised at all.
Thus, Lin Tianming chuckled and said, “I had so exchanges with Daoist Xiuyuan in the early years, but I haven’t seen him in over twenty years.”
“Alas… I wonder how Daoist Xiuyuan has been lately? Has he stepped onto the Golden Core Path?”
Lin Tianming spoke earnestly, his words filled with concern.
Tang Changxin also politely replied, “The family uncle has been at the Qianchuan Market in Wei Kingdom for the past few years. If Daoist Chen considers the world his ho, you might as well go and explore.”
“Um… those two places aren’t too far apart. I’ll definitely visit if I get the chance!”
After saying this, Lin Tianming changed the topic and then asked, “Daoist Tang, does your pavilion have any elixirs suitable for Body Cultivators? Or perhaps a Pill Formula?”
Upon hearing this, Tang Changxin pondered for a mont and then responded.
“Not to hide it from Daoist Chen, we do not have Second Order elixirs or Pill Formulas, only First Order ones. I fear they may be of little use to you at your current cultivation realm.”
Hearing Tang Changxin say this, Lin Tianming seed to have anticipated it.
After all, he knew high-grade integrative elixirs and Pill Formulas were not commonly available, and many forces would not easily give them out, even if they possessed them.
Although the Sky Dragon Pavilion had many treasures and a strong background, such items were not readily sold.
Helplessly, Lin Tianming had to give up, but due to difficulties in his cultivation, he couldn’t help but ask another question.
“In that case, Daoist Tang, have you heard where I might find so Dry Jade Grass?”
“Dry Jade Grass?”
Daoist Tang was montarily stunned, then shook his head.
Following that, Daoist Tang continued, “Lin, this Dry Jade Grass is not of low grade, it has disappeared from the cultivation world for a long ti.”
“I’ve heard of it indeed, but over these many years, I’ve never heard of anyone who has obtained it.”
“However, many years ago, I did hear a rumor, though I don’t know whether it’s true or not.”
“Oh?”
Lin Tianming was initially startled and then realized there was so progress, and he was overjoyed.
After calming down a bit, Lin Tianming clasped hands and said, “Daoist Tang, please speak freely, I will not let Brother Tang labor in vain.”
“Hehe…”
Daoist Tang laughed, then slowly said, “It is said that hundreds of years ago, traces of Dry Jade Grass were found in Five Poison Mountain, and many cultivators had also gone in search of it.”
“Yet in the end, they found nothing, and the cultivators who entered in groups suffered heavy losses.”
“Given this, it’s hard to say if the news is true or false, and whether there are still traces of Dry Jade Grass in Five Poison Mountain now is even more uncertain.”
Hearing this, Lin Tianming nodded and then took out a thousand low-grade spirit stones and handed them to Daoist Tang.
“Thank you, Daoist Tang, for the information. Consider these spirit stones a token of my appreciation, please accept them!”
“You’re too polite, Daoist Chen,”
Daoist Tang waved his hand, refusing, “This rumor is too old and has never been verified. Just treat it as a thought.”
Seeing this, Lin Tianming did not insist, but he still purchased so quite decent treasures as a way to thank Daoist Tang for the information provided.
After bidding farewell to Daoist Tang, Lin Tianming left the Sky Dragon Pavilion and wandered aimlessly on the streets.
At that mont, he was pondering the rumor ntioned by Daoist Tang, contemplating its possibility.
After a long while, Lin Tianming decided to stay in Yuquan Market for a few days before continuing to search for Dry Jade Grass or information on other pill formulas.
If he really couldn’t find anything, he would consider making a trip to Five Poison Mountain to try and find traces of the Dry Jade Grass.
But before he went, he needed to be well-prepared.
Since Five Poison Mountain was known as the most dangerous place in Huangyang Kingdom, its existence was said to trace back hundreds of thousands of years.
Only over a hundred thousand years ago, when Human Cultivators in Jingzhou started to expand their territory, was Five Poison Mountain discovered on the fringe.
Initially, Demonic Beasts road rampant inside, and venomous insects were everywhere. The power of these parasitic beasts was so imnse that even Nascent Soul Cultivators dared not enter lightly.
But despite the dangers, there were various rare and exotic treasures inside.
Especially spiritual dicines; many scarce kinds could be found in Five Poison Mountain.
Faced with the allure of treasures, despite the dangers, there were always people willing to risk it and enter Five Poison Mountain to seek treasures and experience.
As ti passed, more and more cultivators gathered around the Huangyang Kingdom, and high-order cultivators gradually erged.
With such a treasure ground, people willing to take risks gradually went into Five Poison Mountain, and the demonic beasts inside were slowly eradicated, and the treasures were nearly plundered.
By now, most of the poisonous insects and beasts in Five Poison Mountain were dead or injured. Although there were no Fourth Order Great Demons comparable to a Nascent Soul Cultivator, there definitely were Third Order Demon Beasts.
As the lucky cultivators who ca out spread the word, this information was almost known to everyone in Huangyang Country today.
Therefore, for the Foundation Establishnt Cultivators, Five Poison Mountain was not easily entered.
Even for a powerful Golden Core Cultivator entering Five Poison Mountain, there was also the risk of falling.
Furthermore, it was said that more than a hundred years ago, a Golden Core Cultivator had perished in Five Poison Mountain.
When this news spread, it caused a huge sensation in the Huangyang Country cultivation world, and even now, it was occasionally brought up by soone.
In such a case, even if Lin Tianming was very confident in his own strength, he had to prepare thoroughly.
At least gathering more information and understanding more about the dangerous land of Five Poison Mountain before taking action would make it safer.
Having made up his mind, Lin Tianming continued to wander around the market in Yuquan.
