Lin Tianming erased the Consciousness Imprint from Song Chufeng's Blood-red Jade Pendant, claiming its vast storage spaces. In the first space, he cataloged ordinary Second and Third Order treasures worth three to four million Low-Grade Spirit Stones. The second held nearly forty million Low-Grade Spirit Stones from the fallen Yang Clan, while the third contained over eight hundred thousand Medium-grade Spirit Stones, totaling over a hundred million Low-Grade equivalents—a vital boon for the Lin Family.

These Spirit Stones hold immense value for the Lin Family members. They can generally be traded for a wide array of resources and treasures, enabling swift advancements in their cultivation realms.

Moreover, the Lin Family benefits from the Luoyun Commerce Alliance, whose operations have expanded to cover the major city markets across the Seven Southern Countries of Qingzhou.

This includes regions around Jinfeng Nation, and even branches in other central countries, with numerous shops dotted everywhere.

Through these outlets, the Spirit Stones transform into diverse resources, which the Lin Family then crafts into valuable treasures via the Four Arts of cultivation.

Such treasures bolster the cultivation prowess of family members and fetch high prices in Luoyun Commerce Alliance shops, ultimately swelling the Lin Family's coffers.

Thanks to these earnings, Lin Family cultivators keep thriving, while the clan's very foundation grows ever stronger.

Consider the recent epic battle: the Lin Family's Mountain Protection Array held firm for over a month against the Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse Song Chufeng, plus Third Order Formation Masters Xiao Chen and Xie Feng, all sustained by an enormous stockpile of Spirit Stones.

Over that month-long ordeal, more than one hundred million Low-Grade Spirit Stones were poured into maintaining the array's formidable defenses.

Beyond that, to give Lin Tianming optimal conditions for breaking through to Nascent Soul Stage, the family expended another seventy to eighty million Low-Grade Spirit Stones, greatly enriching the spiritual energy density in the Lin Family Clan Grounds.

These enhancements offered vital support to Lin Tianming's Nascent Soul breakthrough.

Achieving all this demanded a hefty toll in family resources.

By this reckoning, in just the last decade, Spirit Stone usage at Qingyun Mountain Clan Grounds has skyrocketed to a staggering two hundred million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

No ordinary Golden Core force could shoulder such extravagant spending.

Only a rising powerhouse like the Lin Family dares to unleash such vast reserves at pivotal moments without a second thought.

Thus, beholding this mountain of Spirit Stones, Lin Tianming first felt a jolt of astonishment at their dazzling abundance right before him.

Yet, reflecting on the Lin Family's massive expenditures through the years, he soon regained his composure.

Lin Tianming then withdrew his Divine Sense from the Spirit Stones and probed the subsequent storage space.

Inside this next compartment lay a vast hoard of Heaven and Earth Treasures, spanning the essentials of the Four Arts of cultivation.

Yet all these treasures rank below Fourth Order, mostly First and Second Order ones; Third Order items total around a thousand, with fewer than a hundred truly standout pieces.

These goods undoubtedly stem from the Yang Clan's core reserves.

In terms of a Golden Core Family, this stockpile proves impressively plentiful, boasting substantial overall worth.

Lin Tianming thus feels content with the Yang Clan's underpinnings.

He pays scant heed to most of these items, merely picking out twenty or thirty of the rarer, finer treasures for himself, ignoring the rest.

Post-Nascent Soul Ceremony, he intends to surrender these Spirit Stones and Heaven and Earth Treasures to the family, offsetting a decade of prodigious outlays.

With that, Lin Tianming turned his attention elsewhere.

In the following space appeared over twenty Fourth Order treasures and above, three of which shone as prime materials for forging Spiritual Treasures.

Alongside them sat six High Quality Spirit Stones.

Lin Tianming took keen interest in these elite Fourth Order treasures, certain Fourth Order Spiritual Medicine Materials, and the High Quality Spirit Stones.

He thus set aside the valuables he fancied for his personal use down the line.

Besides those Fourth Order gems, this space held dozens of cultivation manuals plus hundreds of notes on the Four Arts of cultivation.

The standout pieces amounted to a handful of Earth-grade Level techniques, some duplicating those already in Lin Family records.

Truly worthwhile ones numbered merely three or four Earth-grade techniques, no doubt the pillars propping up the Yang Clan's status in Jinfeng Nation.

Lin Tianming regards such items with indifference.

After all, he practices a Heavenly Grade Technique from ancient lineages, rendering these Earth-grade ones unworthy of note.

Furthermore, the Lin Family has amassed riches through relentless annihilation wars, devouring countless Golden Core forces.

Consequently, the clan now archives nearly twenty Earth-grade techniques, encompassing all seven primary attributes.

For the five core attributes, options abound with three to four variants each.

Thus, these additions bring scant uplift to the Lin Family's current arsenal.

Still, more is always preferable to less.

Lin Tianming thus skimmed the techniques, finding merits in some.

The Four Arts insights, however, yield negligible gains against the Lin Family's present standards.

The clan has pursued all-encompassing growth over the years.

These days, Lin Family experts have attained Third Order mastery in every branch of the Four Arts.

In Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and Talisman Making especially, multiple clansmen have hit Third Order.

Hence, fortifying the Four Arts foundation no longer yields the explosive progress of decades past.

Acquiring these won't spark the dramatic surges of old.

Regarding these manuals, techniques, and the two Spirit Arts in the space, Lin Tianming harbors no desire.

Having ascended to Nascent Soul Stage, switching techniques is out of the question, and Yellow Grade Spirit Techniques pale beside his Technique Divine Power.

Dabbling in such Yellow Grade ones would squander precious time.

Only top-tier Earth-grade Spirit Techniques could meaningfully amplify his might.

Anything less proves futile.

Over time, he has mastered five or six Earth-grade Spirit Techniques; piling on Yellow Grade ones yields no further edge.

In light of this, Lin Tianming refuses to divert effort there.

Instead, these Spirit Techniques offer junior Lin Family cultivators broader choices.

From this angle, the pair still bolsters the clan's foundational strength.

Grasping this, Lin Tianming gave the two Spirit Techniques a quick scan before restoring them.

His inspection pressed onward.

The next storage space, he surmised, contained Song Chufeng's private possessions.

Lin Tianming eagerly anticipated the Nascent Soul expert's trove.

As the hoard of an veteran Nascent Soul Cultivator from the mighty Blood Red Alliance, it promised extraordinary riches.

Given the Blood Red Alliance and Song Chufeng's ruthless history, nothing ordinary would grace his holdings.

Sect affiliations might limit cultivation manuals and inheritances, yet his stature ensures top-tier resources and treasures aplenty.

At this thought, Lin Tianming's steady heart raced once more.
