Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate Chapter 2222: 1136: Myriad Guests Arrive

Snapping back to attention, Lin Tianming swiftly stored Song Chufeng’s Spiritual Treasure Long Sword away, then grabbed the Defensive Treasure he’d wielded earlier.

A pitch-black little shield formed this Defensive Treasure, etched with golden inscriptions of uneven depths, radiating a strange and unique aura.

Lin Tianming had witnessed the defensive might of this treasure with his own eyes.

Indeed, Song Chufeng himself had activated this Defensive Treasure, proving its formidable defensive capabilities.

The sole drawback lay in the fact that this small shield hadn’t reached Spiritual Treasure rank, lingering instead at the Magical Treasure level.

Lin Tianming felt a twinge of regret over this limitation.

Nevertheless, these details highlighted just how scarce and valuable Defensive Spiritual Treasures truly were.

One must remember that Song Chufeng stood as a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse, dwelling in that realm for more than a millennium.

Furthermore, as the Second Elder of the Blood Red Alliance, Song Chufeng enjoyed elevated status and influence.

Even so, after countless years of cultivation and holding such a lofty role, he lacked a personal Defensive Spiritual Treasure.

This fact underscored the immense challenge in obtaining a Defensive Spiritual Treasure.

Without that difficulty, Song Chufeng’s vast wealth, the full backing of the Blood Red Alliance, and support from a mighty ally like Chen Guanghua would have easily secured one.

Yet, despite the Blood Red Alliance operating as a sect-like power and Song Chufeng being a seasoned Nascent Soul Stage expert, Chen Guanghua offered no real aid for Defensive Spiritual Treasures.

Multiple factors explained this shortfall.

For starters, crafting a Defensive Spiritual Treasure demanded vast resources, along with immense time and labor.

Additionally, Chen Guanghua aimed to solidify his dominance and fully control the Blood Red Alliance. Regardless of his bond with Song Chufeng, he’d withhold full support.

If Song Chufeng gained a Defensive Spiritual Treasure and boosted his cultivation further, his battle prowess would rival Chen Guanghua’s.

In that scenario, suppressing Song Chufeng would become far tougher for Chen Guanghua.

Facing such dynamics, Chen Guanghua—prioritizing his leadership and the alliance’s overall might—would naturally curb Song Chufeng’s growth.

Such restraint, naturally, stayed hidden from plain view.

Publicly, they upheld their image as close fellow disciples.

These circumstances ensured that Song Chufeng, despite decades of dedicated cultivation, never possessed a Defensive Spiritual Treasure.

To Lin Tianming, this very weakness created the perfect opening to battle and slay Song Chufeng.

Had Song Chufeng owned a Defensive Spiritual Treasure, his cultivation prowess combined with it would have made victory elusive for Lin Tianming.

At minimum, the cost would soar, along with the dangers involved.

Thus, Song Chufeng’s absence of a Defensive Spiritual Treasure proved a boon for Lin Tianming.

That said, even without a Defensive Spiritual Treasure, a long-time Nascent Soul Stage cultivator like Song Chufeng wielded no ordinary Defensive Magical Treasure.

This black small shield stood out powerfully among fellow Magical Treasures.

Lin Tianming had tested its defensive strength personally.

To him, no other Defensive Magical Treasure he’d encountered could surpass this black small shield’s protection.

Though it fell short of a Defensive Spiritual Treasure, its might remained exceptionally robust.

Securing his own Spiritual Treasure appeared out of reach for now, let alone a Defensive one.

Under these conditions, wielding such a potent Defensive Magical Treasure served as a solid choice.

Lin Tianming had no intention of letting this Defensive Magical Treasure slip away.

As per his intentions, he’d refine it properly once time allowed, bridging the gap until a genuine Spiritual Treasure came into his grasp.

With a personal Spiritual Treasure in hand later on, his power would finally hit its zenith.

Grasping this logic, Lin Tianming examined the black small shield closely before sealing it within his Qiankun Jade.

Both treasures now secured, the tally of his spoils reached its end.

This bounty left Lin Tianming exceedingly pleased.

Song Chufeng’s riches were substantial to begin with, amplified by the bulk of the Yang Clan’s treasure vault falling into his possession.

Thus, the spirit stones alone on Song Chufeng equated to over ten million Low-Grade Spirit Stones, excluding the array of assorted treasures.

Factoring in everything, this haul defied estimation.

Low-grade items held calculable worth, but Fourth Order treasures commanded priceless status in today’s Cultivation World.

For Lin Tianming, the total value of this windfall proved beyond measure.

He saw it boosting his personal fortune while propelling the Lin Family’s foundations to new heights.

This gain even covered the Lin Family’s expenditures from the last decade entirely.
