162: The remaining pages of Dandao

In this ancient Pill Book fragment, in addition to the Legacy of a third-tier Alchemist that Lin Yongmao urgently needed, there were also many Pill Formulas from ancient times.

Many of these miraculous Pill Formulas have been lost.

For example, the Face-Preserving Pill and the Lifespan-Extending Pill, both of these Medicinal Pills are third-tier Medicinal Pills.

The art of preserving one's appearance and extending one's Lifespan are both not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao, so the moment a Pill forms, it will trigger a small-scale Lightning Tribulation.

Not only are the medicinal ingredients for refining such Medicinal Pills hard to find, but the refining process is also extremely risky.

As for the Obstacle-Breaking Pill, although it is a second-tier Medicinal Pill, it is extremely special.

The Obstacle-Breaking Pill, as the name suggests, is to break through the Bottleneck of Cultivation.

Of course, the Obstacle-Breaking Pill also has certain limitations, which is that it can only be used once, and the Bottleneck it breaks through must not be higher than the fourth tier.

That is to say, the Bottleneck of a Golden Core Stage Great Perfection Cultivator breaking through to the Nascent Soul Early Stage cannot be achieved by relying on the Obstacle-Breaking Pill.

This is also quite terrifying; it is only a second-tier Medicinal Pill, but its efficacy far surpasses ordinary third-tier Medicinal Pills.

Lin Yongmao did not look at it in detail but put this Pill Book fragment into his Storage Pouch and began to search for any other overlooked items.

Unfortunately, after searching several times, he did not find any other valuable items.

Lin Yongmao walked out of the Scripture Pavilion and immediately used several communication talismans.

He could not move all the Jade Slips and books in the Scripture Pavilion back to the Family; he needed the help of other Family members.

.....

Five days later.

Lin Family Discussion Hall.

The Lin Family members finally completed the inventory of Qinglan Sect's vast assets; although the most valuable part was taken away by Liu Wanyi, what remained was still precious enough for the Lin Family.

Lin Yuheng sat at the head of the table, listening intently to Lin Jing's report:

"Most of Qinglan Sect's assets have been inventoried, including five damaged Formations, seventeen large Alchemy Furnaces and Refining Cauldrons, and a total of more than 3,500 Jade Slips and books..."

Lin Jing recited these resources one by one as if counting her own treasures, which greatly excited the Lin Family members present.

He changed the subject and said, "It's just a pity that most of Qinglan Sect's third-tier resources are no longer there, including that thousand-year blood-stopping vine, which has long since been dug up. Even the Immortal Caves of Qinglan Sect's Sect Master and Grand Elder have been looted clean..."

Lin Yuheng nodded slightly and said, "We can release the news now. Qinglan Sect was invaded by evil Cultivators and the entire Sect was annihilated. Let the other Cultivation Families and Loose Cultivators also have a share!"

He added, "However, Qinglan Sect's best Spiritual Vein should belong to our Lin Family. I don't think any force will compete with us for it now!"

Qinglan Sect was built on a Medium Grade Spiritual Vein, and now this Spiritual Vein should rightfully belong to the Lin Family.

Lin Yucheng said, "Not only Qinglan Sect's Spiritual Vein, but also the Spiritual Vein sold by the Cao Family, all of these need to be managed by dedicated personnel. Our Lin Family still needs to continue to expand and prosper!"

After Lin Yucheng finished speaking, he gave Lin Yongmao and Lin Yulian a meaningful look.

Lin Yongmao pretended not to see it; he didn't want the trouble of a marriage alliance.

Lin Yulian's face flushed with shyness, wishing she could bury her head in the ground.

Lin Yuheng coughed lightly and said, "Now is a great time for our Lin Family's development. Adjust the exchange ratio of Family contribution points and distribute large amounts of resources for Family members to Cultivate."

"In addition, encourage childbirth. As long as a child with a Spiritual Root is born in the Family, they will receive a huge reward."

New Family policies were being generated, and Lin Yongmao heard them all.

He was genuinely happy for the Family's continuous development and expansion; the more prosperous the Family, the more stably his System functions could operate.

.....

In Yang City.

"Did everyone hear? Qinglan Sect was wiped out!"

"Your news is too outdated; I heard about it long ago. Not a single person in the entire Sect survived, and even the Sect's Spirit Beasts were slaughtered."

"Which force did it? They are so ruthless!"

"Qinglan Sect wasn't a good sort either. Its destruction just benefits us ordinary Cultivators; at least no one will righteously compete with us for Cultivation resources."

"Do you think it might be the Lin Family? The Lin Family's recent development momentum is very strong, and in Qingyang, only the Lin Family has this strength."

"The Lin Family? Absolutely impossible!"

"Let alone a single Lin Family, even if the major Cultivation Families of Qingyang united, they wouldn't be a match for Qinglan Sect. How could a single Lin Family annihilate Qinglan Sect?"

"Then..."

"Judging from the traces left at the scene, it should have been done by evil Cultivators. You don't know, all the Qinglan Sect Disciples who were killed had their souls absorbed and Soul-Seizing, dying tragically."

"Oh my god! Evil Cultivators have come to our Qingyang too. Don't let me run into them!"

"You've been to the scene? Where can you go now?"

"Cough cough... Your humble brother, though untalented, has already gone there and salvaged some good things. It's just a pity I went a little late and the Cultivators from the four great Families got there first."

"Forget it, forget it. Even if I went, I wouldn't be able to snatch anything from others. Who told me my strength isn't enough!"

"So, Qingyang will usher in a major reshuffle next. Who will become Qingyang's largest force?"

"Does that even need to be said? Of course, it's the Lin Family. From now on, no other force can compare to the Lin Family."

"Other forces are also gradually developing, such as the Cao Family and the Han Family. The development momentum of these two Families is also very good. And our Yang City, under the leadership of the City Lord, can also move towards glory."

"Yes, the City Lord achieving Golden Core is good news for our entire Qingyang! We Loose Cultivators owe our current situation entirely to the City Lord."

.....

Similar conversations appeared in various places in Qingyang.

On one hand, they lamented the demise of Qinglan Sect, how a great building collapsed in an instant.

On the other hand, they worried about their own future development, how to go far on this path of Cultivation.

Qingyang's forces indeed ushered in a major reshuffle, henceforth becoming a situation of "one superpower, many strong powers."

"One superpower" refers to the Cultivation Family, the Lin Family, whose two Golden Core Cultivators established their absolute hegemonic position.

Fortunately, the Lin Family is different from the previous Qinglan Sect; they did not bully other forces in any way, thus earning the respect of Qingyang's Cultivators.

"Many strong powers" refers to the Han Family, the Cao Family, and the Yang City Lord's Mansion.

The original one of the four great Families—the Zhu Family—has gradually declined. Their Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor's Lifespan is nearing its end, and no new Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators have appeared.

On the other hand, Cao Yusheng successfully underwent Foundation Establishment after taking two Foundation Establishment Pills, and has firmly secured his position as the Cao Family Clan Chief, leading the Cao Family to continue its development.

The Han Family benefited the most, and their relationship with the Lin Family is also the closest, as they gained many advantages through marriage alliances, being able to exchange for important Medicinal Pills and rare spiritual plants.

The City Lord's Mansion goes without saying; with the Golden Core powerhouse City Lord Chen He in charge, as long as they don't provoke the Lin Family, they can continue to exist in Qingyang for several hundred years.

The Lin Family began its first round of expansion. In addition to Cloud Mist Mountain, their Family's base also added two major territories:

These were Qingyun Peak, where the former Qinglan Sect was located, and a Low Grade Spiritual Vein of the Cao Family near the Qingyang Mountain Range.

These two locations also became the Lin Family's new bases.

A large number of Loose Cultivators requested to join the Lin Family, and the Lin Family accepted the addition of these Loose Cultivators with an open attitude.
