133: Warm Jade Ruler

This was especially true for Lin Xuanbo, whose mouth was already overflowing with blood at this moment.

Although his cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage, there was still a significant gap between him and the Golden Core Stage.

Furthermore, with his Lifespan nearing its end and his Qi and blood insufficient, he was already unable to exert the full strength of a Foundation Establishment Stage Great Perfection Cultivator.

Lin Xuanbo quickly conjured an energy shield, which allowed Lin Xuanzhong to recover.

Lin Xuanzhong frowned as he looked at the approaching Lifebound Treasure Warm Jade Ruler and the [Layered Mist Formation] jointly set up by the Qinglan Sect Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

They were in danger this time.

Luo Wei truly lived up to his reputation as a veteran Golden Core Stage Immortal Master; he had long since forged his Lifebound Treasure.

Every Cultivator, once they reach the Golden Core Stage Realm, can smelt their own Lifebound Treasure.

A Lifebound Treasure is different from Magical Artifacts, Spiritual Artifacts, and ancient treasures. It will continuously improve as its master's cultivation increases, constantly nurturing and growing within the master's Dantian.

At a higher Realm, a Lifebound Treasure can even surpass ancient treasures.

However, refining a Lifebound Treasure is also extremely demanding.

There is only one opportunity to refine a Lifebound Treasure, making material selection extremely cautious. Generally speaking, Lifebound Treasures refined from ordinary Ore and Materials are of poor quality and have little potential for development.

Therefore, if they haven't found satisfactory Materials, Golden Core Stage Cultivators will not easily refine a Lifebound Treasure.

As a Grand Elder of the Qinglan Sect, Luo Wei had access to all of the Qinglan Sect's best resources, which allowed him to refine a Lifebound Treasure that satisfied him.

His jade ruler was named the [Warm Jade Ruler].

Its main material was a High Grade Warm Jade, which was a top-grade among High Grade jade stones.

It possessed both supportive and offensive properties.

Just now, the Lifebound Treasure [Warm Jade Ruler] had displayed its might.

The Qinglan Sect Cultivators' combat power was boosted by the Warm Jade Ruler, and their Battle Intent greatly increased.

Meanwhile, Lin Xuanbo and Lin Xuanzhong faced the suppression of the Warm Jade Ruler, and their combat power was affected to some extent.

Lin Xuanbo, having just entered the Golden Core Realm, not only was weaker than Luo Wei in terms of secret arts and Spells, but the mere lack of a Lifebound Treasure made him no match for Luo Wei at all.

Moreover, Yuan Wang and twenty-four Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators were also there to assist him.

However, he wasn't entirely without a chance. If he could enter the Cloud Mist Mountain's range, relying on the two Formations of Cloud Mist Mountain, he could barely contend with these people.

Lin Xuanbo continuously cast several Spells, but he still couldn't break through the [Layered Mist Formation].

The [Layered Mist Formation] connected several Cultivators into a whole, achieving an effect greater than 1+1=2.

Moreover, it could temporarily transfer spiritual power to one of the individuals, making it virtually without weaknesses.

Even though Lin Xuanbo's cultivation had reached the Golden Core Stage, he couldn't break through the Layered Mist Formation jointly formed by twenty-four Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators in a short period.

The sounds of fighting grew louder and louder. Many members of the Lin Family saw the scene at the foot of the mountain and quickly spread the word. Important figures of the Lin Family had all gathered here.

However, no one dared to step out of the [Cloud Sky Spirit Array] and the [Mountain River Qi Gathering Formation].

If they went out, they wouldn't be helping; they would simply be causing trouble for Lin Xuanbo and Lin Xuanzhong.

Upon receiving the news, Lin Yongmao also rushed to the foot of Cloud Mist Mountain.

He was very worried about his grandfather and Second Uncle-Grandfather, because these two had gone out for him!

Lin Yucheng and the others were also very worried, but they were helpless. The two elders were still some distance from the Formation, and these Qinglan Sect Cultivators would not easily let them retreat into the Formation.

Luo Wei watched the two gradually exhaust their strength and felt that the time was ripe.

“Lin Xuanbo, Lin Xuanzhong, both of you taste my [Warm Jade Ruler]!”

Luo Wei's true essence was injected into his Lifebound Treasure. The Warm Jade Ruler's gentle luster turned crimson, and it smashed towards the two of them.

The Layered Mist Formation was temporarily dispelled, and the Qinglan Sect Cultivators immediately retreated to the side.

In a moment of desperation, Lin Yongmao shouted, “Grandfather, look at your Storage Pouch!”

Lin Xuanbo immediately understood. Without any doubt, after a sweep with his Divine Sense, he found a Talisman in his Storage Pouch. No, this was a Talisman Treasure.

Lin Xuanbo immediately injected his true essence into this Talisman Treasure.

Activating the power of a Talisman Treasure with Golden Core Stage cultivation could be achieved almost instantly. A green long sword flew out; it was precisely the [Talisman Treasure · Qingyuan Sword].

This was the last Talisman Treasure in Lin Yongmao's possession. He had just used the 'Item Grant' function to transfer this Talisman Treasure into Lin Xuanbo's hands.

Otherwise, if Lin Xuanbo and Lin Xuanzhong were to confront a Lifebound Treasure with their Physical Body, he truly dared not imagine the outcome.

The Qingyuan Sword and the Warm Jade Ruler clashed in battle.

【Sword Shadow Dividing Light Art】

Lin Xuanbo performed this sword Dao secret art. Lin Yongmao had naturally submitted a copy of this secret art to the Family, and now Lin Xuanbo also performed it.

Originally, the Qingyuan Sword was not a match for the Warm Jade Ruler.

This was easy to understand; after all, the Qingyuan Sword was a Talisman Treasure, possessing only a portion of a Lifebound Treasure's power.

But after performing the Sword Shadow Dividing Light Art, the Qingyuan Sword split into several swords, matching the power of the Warm Jade Ruler, and battled in the air for several minutes.

However, a Talisman Treasure is still just a Talisman Treasure. Its energy was continuously depleting, and its three uses were almost entirely consumed by Lin Xuanbo in one go.

The Talisman paper, originally adorned with the Qingyuan Sword pattern, also began to dim.

“Go!”

Lin Xuanzhong seized this opportunity, completely activating the Qingyuan Sword Talisman Treasure's last bit of energy. The Talisman paper turned to ash, and the Qingyuan Sword unleashed its final residual heat.

Lin Xuanbo grabbed Lin Xuanzhong by the collar and flew through the air, heading towards the Cloud Mist Mountain Formation.

Yuan Wang had been watching the two closely. Seeing Lin Xuanbo and his companion trying to escape, he quickly activated the High Grade Magical Artifact Flying Sword in his hand, aiming directly at Lin Xuanbo's back.

Lin Xuanbo couldn't worry about so much anymore. If he could successfully enter the Formation, a little injury was nothing significant.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xuanzhong quickly turned sideways, blocking the Flying Sword for Lin Xuanbo.

Large mouthfuls of blood gushed out.

“Second Uncle!”

“Second Uncle-Grandfather!”

The members of the Lin Family within the Formation shouted, and many female Family members even shed tears. This elder, who had watched them grow up, had now suffered a fatal injury.

A High Grade Magical Artifact was not terrifying, but this was wielded by a Golden Core Stage Immortal Master!

Lin Xuanzhong gave a bitter laugh and said, “Big Brother, it's good that you weren't injured.”

“I'm already an old man, and my Lifespan is not much left. But you are different; you are the backbone of the Lin Family. With you here, the Lin Family will endure…”

“Don't say anymore, Second Brother. You rest well for a while. I'll take you back to the Family first.” Lin Xuanbo's voice returned to its gentle tone, looking at Lin Xuanzhong with reluctance.

But his speed did not slow down in the slightest.

Originally, if he had resisted the Flying Sword attack, he wouldn't have died, but under the current circumstances…
