Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate Chapter 2221: 1135: Bountiful Harvest (Part 2)

The main reason lies in his pressing need to gather materials for forging a personalized weapon.

Yet, acquiring his own Spiritual Treasure remains challenging at present, since the Lin Family lacks a Fourth Order Refiner Master of their own.

To obtain a Spiritual Treasure, Lin Tianming must either await Lin Shilu's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage or turn to outside help by requesting aid from fellow Fourth Order Refiners.

Right now, Lin Shilu lingers at Golden Core Great Perfection Realm, and even upon a successful advance to Nascent Soul, it would demand another decade or two at minimum.

Success in breakthrough isn't assured, let alone elevating his Artifact Refining Technique to Fourth Order.

Thus, assuming all progresses without hitches, Lin Tianming faces a wait of thirty to forty years before Lin Shilu can lend a hand in refining.

This prompts Lin Tianming to favor external aid instead.

After all, over the past decades, he has amassed most key materials for a Spiritual Treasure, each one a supreme treasure.

Furthermore, his stockpile of treasures abounds, with many proving irresistible to Nascent Soul Stage experts.

These can serve as payment to secure such assistance.

Armed with such riches, a top-quality Spiritual Treasure weapon could be forged swiftly by a willing helper.

Prior to this, slaying Song Chufeng had yielded his Spiritual Treasure Long Sword.

Though not perfectly suited for Lin Tianming, who favors swords,

it remains a Spiritual Treasure-grade weapon, and at his cultivation level, its might far surpasses the Tiangang Sword.

Hence, while a Spiritual Treasure holds great value for Lin Tianming, alternatives exist, and rushing its creation isn't critical right now.

For the Lin Family has only recently secured their position.

Ahead looms the Blood Red Alliance's menace.

In the near future, Lin Tianming can't stray far from Jinfeng Nation, much less Qingzhou Land.

Once the Blood Red Alliance threat dissipates, his burdens will lighten.

Then, he can depart from the Lin Family, travel to Qingzhou's neighboring realms, and enlist Fourth Order Refiners to craft a fitting Spiritual Treasure without delay.

With these thoughts brewing, Lin Tianming mapped out his strategy in silence.

Snapping back, Lin Tianming pressed on with tallying the spoils.

True to his expectations, Song Chufeng’s Storage Jade Pendant held scant inheritance treasures.

The sole inheritance-like items were a handful of Earth-grade Techniques and notes on the Four Arts of Cultivation.

Lin Tianming barely glanced at these inheritances, showing scant enthusiasm.

During the continued check, two odd treasures surfaced, including a crimson stone.

This stone, fist-sized and uniformly fiery red, gleamed smooth and semi-transparent, its surface etched with patterns akin to a Fourth Order Fire Attribute Demonic Beast's Demon Core.

But Lin Tianming's sharp gaze discerned it wasn't a Demon Core—no demonic energy emanated, nor any scent.

Besides, its hardness defied even the mutated Blue Heart True Flame, leaving no trace.

This convinced Lin Tianming of its extraordinary nature.

After all, the Blue Heart True Flame ranks as a Heaven and Earth Aberrant Flame, evolved twice over.

It melts Fourth Order Spirit Ore with ease, boasting immense potency.

Yet this flame failed to mar the stone in the slightest.

That fact alone highlighted the stone's immense worth.

Considering Song Chufeng's millennium as a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, his discernment was exceptional.

Thus, items he cherished were bound to be remarkable.

Still, Lin Tianming couldn't pinpoint the stone's source or use.

He chose to seal it away for now, planning future probes to reveal its secrets.

The other standout was a frayed Beast Skin Map, charting rivers and peaks that mirrored a distinct Cultivation World region.

Yet it formed just one-third of a full map, rendering location pinpointing arduous amid the vast Nine Provinces' terrains.

Lin Tianming guessed, given Song Chufeng's possession, the site lay in Qingzhou or nearby territories.

Securing the other fragments would boost search odds within those areas dramatically.

Grasping this, Lin Tianming stayed unhurried.

Indeed, across years, he'd collected numerous enigmatic artifacts, fragmented maps among them, veiling fortunes or perils unknown.

He knew fate might one day unveil them.

Should opportunity arise, it would bless Lin Tianming.

If peril instead, evasion proved impossible.

Embracing this outlook, Lin Tianming found peace.

Mulling thus, he tucked the map into his Qiankun Jade quietly.

He then delved deeper into the Storage Jade Pendant.

Further probing revealed Demon Beast remains, highlighted by an intact Fourth Order corpse complete with Demon Core.

The Third Order ones drew no appeal for Lin Tianming anymore, worthless at his stage.

He spared them a brief look before moving on.

Soon after, amid leftover space, countless weapons appeared.

Over a dozen Magical Treasures fit for Golden Core Stage use, plus Formation Setting materials like Array Plates and Array Flags.

These held minimal allure for Lin Tianming.

But remembering son Lin Changqing's fresh Golden Core breakthrough and Formation Setting passion, he set aside the array tools for his study.

With that, Song Chufeng’s loot tally neared end.

Now, Lin Tianming patted his waist, drawing forth Song Chufeng's former blood-red long sword for scrutiny.

A Spiritual Treasure brimming with malice, likely from absorbed cultivator essence blood and sinister refining rites infusing evil aura.

Still, Lin Tianming acknowledged its fearsome power.

He'd clashed with Song Chufeng firsthand, witnessing his prowess.

Regrettably, Song Chufeng met him as foe.

Against typical peers, Song Chufeng would dominate.

Prolonged wield of this Spiritual Treasure Long Sword risked tainting Lin Tianming’s Dao Heart.

He knew this well.

Lacking another Spiritual Treasure and unable to forge a better one soon,

he resolved to refine it for emergency use despite the malice.

Upon securing a proper weapon, he'd cast this Spiritual Treasure Long Sword aside.
