Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate-Chapter 1167 - 609: Earth Core Truefire_2
Chapter 1167: Chapter 609: Earth Core Truefire_2
Even an age-old power like Myriad Medicine Valley, with its ten-thousand-year heritage, pales in comparison to the current strength of the Lin Family.
However, unfortunately, it was Lin Tianming who had just subdued the Primordial Lion Beast.
It was that contract ceremony of acknowledging a master that greatly drained his divine soul strength.
After all, the ceremony of a demonic beast recognizing a master requires the host to split a wisp of their divine soul to merge into the beast’s Sea of Consciousness, achieving a connection with the host’s mind and even controlling the beast’s purpose.
As such, even if the split of the soul is exceptionally minor, the host will still need a long period of time to recover.

And this period of time varies from person to person.
Some may need decades, while others might recover in just ten or twenty years.
Even though Lin Tianming naturally possesses a strong soul, after the acknowledgment ceremony with the Primordial Lion Beast, for at least ten years, he won’t likely have the chance to subdue other demonic beasts.
After all, the recovery of soul strength is extremely difficult, and excessive depletion could easily cause one’s cultivation realm to regress.
Although this isn’t an absolute rule, as exemplified by Lin Tianming, who could attempt to subdue a new demonic beast in a short time if he’s willing to pay a certain price.
But Lin Tianming is not foolish, naturally, he would not take such a risk to subdue the Earth Flame Dragon.
It is precisely because of such limitations that a cultivator can only tame a finite number of demonic beasts in a lifetime.
Otherwise, if a cultivator constantly sought out demonic beasts to forcibly tame and form an army, wouldn’t their combat strength increase rapidly?
Moreover, when the number of demonic beasts reaches a certain level, the combined force released to face enemies is simply terrifying to contemplate.
However, these restrictions are not insurmountable for human cultivators.
The most obvious example is the existence of certain sects and families in the Cultivation World specialized in beast taming.
These ancient lineages, through millennia of exploration and continuous improvement, have also created many special techniques and secret methods.
According to rumors, there are techniques and secret methods that can diminish the damage to a cultivator’s soul to a certain extent during the process of a demonic beast’s submission.
Not only that, cultivators can also make use of various elixirs or special treasures to quickly recover the lost part of their soul strength.
Therefore, with such various methods, those cultivators specialized in beast taming can subdue more demonic beasts for their use within a limited time.
As for those great sects and families primarily focused on beast taming, their overall strength is also incredibly formidable because of these capabilities.
Even, some representative beast-taming forces are not weaker than those great powers following the primal cultivation path.
Overall, with the development of the Cultivation World over countless years, the emergence of all sorts of strange techniques and secret methods is not really surprising.
After all, with the vast expanse of the Cultivation World, innumerable treasures, and an astonishing number of cultivators.
Against such a backdrop, the appearance of some extraordinary individuals is only to be expected.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming did not dwell too much on these matters.
Now, as Lin Tianming himself does not possess those beast-taming techniques and secret methods, nor does he have any of those special treasures.
Given this, even though he feels it’s a pity, Lin Tianming had no choice but to decisively kill the Earth Flame Dragon.
He was very clear that in the Cultivation World, where fortunes mean life or death, not only do cultivators operate on this principle, but the Human Race and demonic beasts are inherently opposed.
Even long ago, there was a relentless situation between the human and demonic beast races.
At that time, race wars occurred frequently, and countless human cultivators, including some Nascent Soul Stage Experts, died at the claws of demonic beasts.
In the end, both sides suffered heavy losses, and many lineages were obliterated from the Cultivation World.
And these past events are the survival laws of the Cultivation World.
Fully aware of this, Lin Tianming, looking at the still struggling Earth Flame Dragon, had no excess of pity in his heart.
Thus, with a raise of his hand and a slash of his sword, a burst of Sword Qi ended the life of the Earth Flame Dragon.
After doing all this, Lin Tianming looked at the pond in front of him with a trace of excitement on his face.
At this moment, Qin Xi, who had been observing the battle from the side, also approached Lin Tianming.
From afar, Qin Xi’s excited voice could be heard.
“Ming, now that the Earth Flame Dragon is finally dead, should we go down and collect the Salt Crystals?”
Hearing this, Lin Tianming smiled knowingly.
“Collecting the Salt Crystals is just a matter of time…”
“But before we get to collecting the treasure, we should deal with the corpse of this Earth Flame Dragon first.”
Having said that, Lin Tianming then pointed to some fiery red Scales scattered on the surface of the pond in front of them, and continued to speak: “This Earth Flame Dragon’s grade is not low, and there are quite a few Scales on its body, as well as those scattered on the surface of the pond.”
“Plus the horn on top of this Demonic Beast’s head, those are top-notch materials for refining.”
“And if Fifteenth Grandfather were to see these materials, he would probably be extremely excited in an instant.”
Hearing this, Qin Xi nodded in agreement and couldn’t help but smile and chime in.
“Giggle… Ming is right!”
“You know, our Fifteenth Grandfather is a complete refining fanatic. With such great materials, and adding some other Treasures, it’s possible to refine a couple of exquisite Magical Treasures.”
“Hmm… That’s indeed the case!”
Lin Tianming replied with a smile and then began to process the corpse of the Earth Flame Dragon.
After his dissection, he collected all the useful parts of the Earth Flame Dragon.
Not only that, but he also gathered all the Scales of the Earth Flame Dragon that were scattered on the surface of the pond.
After completing these tasks, the couple came back together again.
At this moment, Lin Tianming looked at the pond in front of him and quickly jumped into it.
Before this, Lin Tianming had already memorized the precise locations of the dozen or so Salt Crystals.
Even if he didn’t remember, with the assistance of the Eye of Five Colors, finding the landing spots of the Salt Crystals wasn’t difficult for him.
Now re-entering the pond without the interference of the Earth Flame Dragon, the familiar Lin Tianming quickly reached the side of the Salt Crystals.
At that time, Lin Tianming looked at the pale blue Crystals in front of him and swiftly grabbed one to inspect it in his hand.
After a thorough inspection, the excitement on Lin Tianming’s face became even more radiant.
It must be said that these dozen or so Salt Crystals were of excellent quality and were quite large in size.
Just these Salt Crystals, being as numerous as eleven, was enough for the Lin Family’s Array Masters to use for several hundred years.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming quickly collected all the Salt Crystals into the Qiankun Jade.
Afterward, Lin Tianming didn’t rush to leave the bottom of the pond but carefully searched the entire area instead.
In a short while, Lin Tianming discovered a fairly large round opening in a corner at the bottom of the pond.
This round opening seemed ordinary, as if it were naturally formed at the bottom of the water.
However, Lin Tianming was purposefully thorough in his search.
So, Lin Tianming noticed that this circular opening was not large, and many broken stones appeared around it.
More crucially, one side of it was covered in Ice, while the other side had dust that was scorched by intense flames.
Moreover, in just this short amount of time, Lin Tianming felt the surrounding Yuan Qi was also converging towards that entrance.
Immediately after, as Lin Tianming was contemplating in his heart, a blue flame suddenly appeared in that round opening at the bottom of the pond.
The moment this flame appeared, the whole pond was filled with surging waves.
Soon, the water in the pond was steaming hot on one side and bone-chillingly cold on the other, making Lin Tianming, who practiced Dual Cultivation of Body and Law, shudder involuntarily.
At this moment, feeling these changes and seeing that a thread of blue flame, Lin Tianming was constantly thinking about the origin of this flame.
A period as long as the time it takes to drink a cup of tea passed, and Lin Tianming seemed to have thought of something.
In that instant, his expression excited, he muttered to himself.
“Earth Core Truefire!”
“Haha… It must certainly be this kind of Heaven and Earth Marvelous Fire, without a doubt!”
