Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

The two left the battlefield and headed into the valley.

With the Qingxu Snake Clan wiped out, there should no longer be any danger within the valley.

By this time, Lin Shilu had recovered most of his spiritual power, and Lin Tianming had also recovered some. As long as they didn't encounter a Foundation Establishment Late-Stage Cultivator or a Second Order Late-Phase Demonic Beast, they wouldn't have problems ensuring their own safety.

Shortly, the pair advanced more than ten li deep into the valley along the base of the mountain.

They arrived at a massive stone forest that was much larger than the one near the battlefield and had denser bushes.

At the center of the stone forest, there were many caves a few zhang wide, distributed around the center, each one a snake burrow.

Standing atop a huge rock, Lin Shilu surveyed the stone forest ahead and said:

"Tianming, this vast stone forest must be the Qingxu Snake's nest. I estimate that a hundred li around are their territory!"

Lin Tianming nodded. Demonic Beasts had their own territories and usually would not leave them unless driven away by more powerful beasts; otherwise, they would stay and breed within their own lands.

The territories of Second Order Demonic Beasts ranged from a hundred li to several hundred, while most First Order Demonic Beasts had territories spanning only several tens of li.

Looking at the stone forest thousands of zhang wide before him, Lin Tianming's face brimmed with excitement.

They had expended considerable effort and treasures—just the talisman paper alone cost them hundreds—to eradicate a clan of snakes, all for the spoils of war. Yet, the bodies and inner cores of the Qingxu Snakes alone had brought them substantial rewards. Moreover, there was the vast territory of the eradicated clan to explore, perhaps yielding some rarely-seen treasures.

Grinning mischievously, Lin Shilu was also excited but chose not to show it.

"Tianming, the territory of this snake clan is vast. If we were to inspect it all, we would spread ourselves too thin. Plus, with the surrounding Demonic Beasts eyeing us covetously, let's just explore a twenty li radius around the stone forest. We can give up on the rest—after all, our haul is already substantial enough!"

Hearing Lin Shilu's instructions, Lin Tianming nodded; he too believed it was wise to be cautious.

Because within a Demonic Beast's territory, treasures almost always appeared within a ten li radius of its lair. As for the outer regions, there was hardly anything of value to be found, and venturing out to explore posed significant risks. If they encountered other cultivators or nearby Demonic Beasts, a safe retreat would not be easy.

With these thoughts, Lin Tianming spoke up:

"Fifteenth Grandfather, with the snake clan destroyed, there should not be any dangers within. Let's each take a direction and scout thirty li around. Should there be any danger, we'll immediately regroup at the center of the stone forest!"

"Alright, search quickly and signal at once if there's any trouble!"

After replying, Lin Shilu immediately flew off to the left, quickly disappearing from sight.

Lin Tianming wasted no time, swiftly heading in the opposite direction.

While there shouldn't be any dangers, Lin Tianming remained cautious, clutching the Earth Evil Sword, ready for any potential threats.

He weaved through the stone forest, crossing several tens of zhang with each step, quickly covering over ten li.

In this period, he discovered two Second Order Spiritual Medicines—common items, but still worth several hundred Spirit Stones.

Suddenly, Lin Tianming halted his steps and landed on a rock. A hundred zhang ahead, in a crevice between stones, grew a tree about one zhang tall with over ten bright red fruits.

Seeing the tree one zhang tall in front of him, Lin Tianming couldn't help exclaiming excitedly.

"Qiuxing Fruit!"

Elated, Lin Tianming leaped high, darting towards the fruit tree.

Qiuxing Fruit, a Second Order fire-attribute Spirit Fruit, could aid the cultivation of both cultivators and Demonic Beasts, ripening once every sixty years.

Since it was a naturally formed Spiritual Object, its effects were comparable to a Second Order Spirit Origin Pill, and even stronger, making it particularly effective for fire-attribute cultivators, a truly rare treasure.

Moreover, unlike the Lingshen Pill, it could be eaten directly without any discomfort.

And the fruits on this Qiuxing Fruit Tree were all ripe, a timely bounty for him.

"No wonder such a number of Qingxu Snakes could emerge here, and even seven Second Order Demon Snakes, this tree must have played no small part!"

After talking to himself, Lin Tianming immediately began to pick the Qiuxing Fruit.

He took out over a dozen Jade Boxes and, with the Earth Evil Sword in hand, carefully plucked the Qiuxing Fruits one by one before delicately placing them into the boxes.

A short while later, he had collected twelve Qiuxing Fruits.

Looking at the one zhang tall Qiuxing Fruit Tree, Lin Tianming frequently stabbed the Earth Evil Sword into the ground, the rugged stone cleaved easily as if it were tofu.

Having picked the fruits, he wouldn't pass up the chance to transplant the Qiuxing Fruit Tree. If relocated to his family's orchard, it could bear fresh Spirit Fruit after sixty years.

In just over a dozen breaths' time, a pit a zhang wide appeared in the ground, and the Qiuxing Fruit Tree was extracted roots and all, placed into a prepared storage bag.

Having done all this, Lin Tianming smiled slightly, then turned and left the area without a backward glance, resuming his search.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.

The area of over twenty li radius had been scouted by the two, who then reconvened at the point of separation.
