131: The Harvest of the Ancient Cultivation Cave

“I once had a happy Family of three, but unfortunately, I had a life-and-death struggle with my enemy and could only pass away here. I beg you, please don't…”

“This flame is an ultimate flame; where did you obtain it?”

“You can kill me, but please don’t harm the bodies of my wife and children again; they are innocent.”

…

The Flying Zombie revealed his thoughts before dying, as the burning of the Nanming Li Fire made his consciousness increasingly blurry.

The most Yang energy restrains evil, which is an eternal truth.

As for the Flying Zombie’s words, they did not soften Lin Yongmao’s heart.

No matter how many excuses you have, the Cultivation world is cruel. As long as these corpses are valuable to Lin Yongmao, he will take them away.

What difficulties do you have?

If Lin Yongmao were the weaker party, then he might not even be able to preserve their bodies.

The three Qinglan Sect Cultivators in this Immortal Cave are the best example. Two of the Cultivators had their blood drained, and the remaining one’s flesh and blood were torn into pieces.

“Yongmao, stop burning; the Flying Zombie is already dead,” Lin Xuanbo reminded him.

Only then did Lin Yongmao stop his actions.

Where the Flying Zombie once was, only a pea-sized Corpse Pill remained.

As for the Flying Zombie’s body, it had been burned to ashes by the Nanming Li Fire; describing it as utterly annihilated is not an exaggeration.

Lin Yongmao then awkwardly scratched his head; he was too excited, afraid that the Flying Zombie would launch a desperate counterattack before dying.

“Yongmao, how did you suddenly appear here?” Lin Xuanbo asked curiously.

Lin Yongmao didn’t know how to explain, nor did he want to deceive the two elders, so he said, “Grandfather, Second Uncle-Grandfather, can I not say anything about this?”

Lin Xuanbo laughed heartily and said, “Of course you can! If it weren’t for you, we might really not have been able to deal with this Flying Zombie. Your flame is truly powerful.”

Lin Xuanzhong also said, “Don’t worry about that so much; let’s quickly clear the battlefield. Yongmao, pick whatever you want.”

Lin Yongmao looked at the furnishings in the Immortal Cave. Those ordinary gold, silver, and jewels naturally didn’t catch his eye. Lin Yongmao looked towards the coffin boards he needed most.

Indeed, the three coffin boards combined to form the complete “Mystic Spirit Body Tempering Art.”

There was also an introduction to the “Mystic Spirit Body Tempering Art” recorded on it:

This is a top-tier Body Refining Cultivation Technique, with a total of ten layers.

The complete “Mystic Spirit Body Tempering Art” can not only absorb energy from spiritual plants but can absorb all substances with Spiritual Qi, and then convert them into [Xuan Ling Qi].

Lin Yongmao quickly took out a [Blank Jade Slip] and began to copy its contents.

Lin Xuanbo stopped him, saying, “Yongmao, do it when we get back! You can take these three coffin boards back. They are made of thousand-year-old golden-thread nanmu. Although they can no longer be refined into Spiritual Artifacts, they still have some value.”

Lin Yongmao thought it made sense. He was planning to cultivate a large quantity of [ye bei mushrooms], and these thousand-year-old golden-thread nanmu coffin boards would be perfect for mass cultivation of spirit mushrooms.

There was a large amount of gold, silver, and treasures inside the coffin. It was estimated that this was the Immortal Cave owner’s hobby. Lin Yongmao speculated that he was probably originally a Mortal!

He later embarked on the path of Cultivation; otherwise, ordinary Cultivators would not care for these worldly gold, silver, and treasures.

“Beneath this skeleton, there are three Jade Slips and a dagger hidden,” Lin Xuanbo said loudly.

Lin Yongmao’s gaze was also completely drawn over.

“Blood Escape Technique”

“Spirit Concentration Pill Pill Formula”

“Secret Art: Water Curtain Heaven Splendor”

“[Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact: Cold Light Dagger]”

Aside from the “Mystic Spirit Body Tempering Art,” these were the most valuable items in the Immortal Cave.

Most of the things that protected the Immortal Cave had been annihilated in the endless years.

Lin Xuanbo inventoried the Storage Pouches of the three Qinglan Sect Cultivators and also found a Jade Slip from Qian Sanqi’s Storage Pouch.

“Third-Order Formation Master Inheritance”

As a Cultivation Family, the Lin Family happened to lack such a Legacy, and now it just filled the void.

Lin Xuanbo said to Lin Yongmao beside him, “Yongmao, you can copy a copy of any of these secret arts, Cultivation Techniques, and Legacies that you need.”

Lin Yongmao did not stand on ceremony and copied all of them.

“There’s also a damaged [Ultra-Long Distance Teleportation Formation] here, but unfortunately, it’s completely useless now,” Lin Xuanzhong sighed.

Lin Xuanbo, however, did not intend to give up. While working, he said, “I will dig out the Formation base and bring it back to the Family! In case the Family has a Formation Master in the future, there will be a chance to repair this Formation.”

After leaving the Immortal Cave, he collected all the thousand-year-old withered wood along with a large quantity of [ye bei mushrooms].

Lin Yongmao took a portion and put it into a Jade Box, while the rest was all stuffed into his Storage Pouch.

Most of the ye bei mushrooms could be used directly, but a small amount needed to be left for propagation.

As for the cultivation conditions, Lin Yongmao could continue to utilize the value of this thousand-year-old withered wood.

Furthermore, the three thousand-year-old golden-thread nanmu coffin boards could also serve as places to cultivate ye bei mushrooms.

Now, the task of finding ye bei mushrooms was completed, and all the Materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill were gathered.

This was Lin Yongmao’s first outing, and the harvest was extremely rich.

First, it was the complete version of the “Mystic Spirit Body Tempering Art,” which he needed most, totaling ten layers.

Secondly, it was the main ingredient for the Foundation Establishment Pill, [ye bei mushroom].

Adding to that, the “Third-Order Formation Master Inheritance,” “Blood Escape Technique,” “Spirit Concentration Pill Pill Formula,” and “Secret Art: Water Curtain Heaven Splendor”—these would all become his trump cards and methods going forward.

Lin Yongmao could teleport to Lin Xuanbo’s side, and naturally, he also had a way to teleport back.

He found Han Yuying in the [Family Cultivation] function, clicked the [Personal Teleportation] function again, and a white light enveloped Lin Yongmao.

After a subtle spatial fluctuation, Lin Yongmao disappeared.

Lin Xuanbo and Lin Xuanzhong were left in stunned silence.

“Grandfather, Second Uncle-Grandfather, I’ll be leaving first. The Qingyang Mountain Range is a bit dangerous, so I’ll choose the safest way to return to the Sect!”

“This child…”

Both Lin Xuanbo and Lin Xuanzhong had questions in their hearts, but they both chose to keep silent about the matter.

They had lived for nearly two hundred years and experienced too many ups and downs; many things had already been taken lightly.

They only needed to know that Lin Yongmao still cared about the entire Lin Family, and that was enough. As for his methods and Opportunity, the two elders would not ask too much.

…

Lin Yongmao first teleported home. After a brief chat with his mother, Han Yuying, he returned to Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff.

Although this outing involved some risks, the harvest was very significant.

It truly confirmed the saying: The bigger the waves, the more valuable the fish.

After arranging the thousand-year-old withered wood and the three coffin boards, Lin Yongmao first copied the complete “Mystic Spirit Body Tempering Art,” which was what he needed most at the moment.

Subsequently, these items became the cultivation grounds for [ye bei mushrooms].

The mature ye bei mushrooms were harvested by Lin Yongmao, and new ye bei mushrooms began to grow.
