Half a quarter of an hour later, Lin Xingzhi withdrew from the battle group after killing a Qilin Beast. The remaining twenty or so Qilin Beasts were surrounded by Lin Tianfeng and others, which was enough to deal with.
Panting, he came to Lin Tianming, looking quite tired.
Seeing Lin Xingzhi, Lin Tianming recovered some spiritual power. Out of concern and etiquette, he stood up and asked;
"Can Uncle Clan be injured?"
Lin Xingzhi smiled knowingly, his expression full of excitement. "They are just minor injuries. They will be fully recovered in a few days."
"Hmm..." Lin Tianming nodded, and the two of them turned their attention to the next battle group.
As Lin Tianfeng and the Purple Golden Eagle worked together, they killed the last late-first-order unicorn beast, and the remaining ten or so unicorn beasts were all in the mid-first-order.
At this time, Zijin Eagle and Lin Tianfeng stopped attacking, and a group of clan members surrounded more than ten Qilin beasts and began to exert pressure.
The Qilin beasts who were still alive gathered together and stared fiercely at the Lin family members around them, looking very angry in fact.
Lin Tianming and his two men walked over, stopped next to the purple golden eagle, and looked at these unicorn beasts.
This Qilin beast made them suffer a lot in this battle. Almost all the tribesmen were injured, and two of them were seriously injured. It would take at least ten and a half days of retreat to fully recover.
And he himself was exhausted from dealing with three mid-level second-order unicorn beasts, depleted of essence and blood, greatly depleted of spiritual power and consciousness, with wounds all over his body, and almost at the end of his tether.
If he hadn't accumulated a large number of means and trump cards, and the Earth Demon Sword Formation took the opportunity to break through at a critical moment, it would be difficult to say the outcome of this battle.
Looking at the frightened and ferocious Qilin beasts opposite, everyone looked salivating.
This Qilin beast is extremely talented, with rough skin and thick flesh, very powerful speed and attack power. Its strength far exceeds that of monster beasts of the same level, and it has great potential to rise. If the opportunity is big enough, it is not impossible to grow to the third level.
If the family can subdue some Qilin beasts, they can be used to guard Qingzhu Mountain, and can also carry people and goods. The clan members traveling back and forth in Qianchuanfang City can save a lot of time and spiritual energy, and the safety of short-distance travel will also be greatly increased. , it can be said that there are many benefits.
However, this Qilin beast has a fierce and arrogant personality, and it is not that easy to subdue them.
After regaining his consciousness, a powerful aura suddenly appeared on Lin Tianming, like Mount Tai pressing down on top, suppressing the more than ten Qilin beasts on the opposite side.
Feeling Lin Tianming's powerful foundation-building pressure, all the Qilin beasts looked frightened. They wanted to resist and struggle, but this pressure was too powerful, no less than their leader.
Lin Tianming's cultivation was exposed, and his spiritual consciousness penetrated into the sea of consciousness of all Qilin beasts, trying to forcefully carve a mark of surrender to the Lin family.
"Either surrender to our Lin family or die."
Soon, all the Qilin beasts struggled fiercely and resisted for a while, then fell into a short-term sluggish state. The scene of Lin Tianming fighting with their leader echoed in his mind.
Looking around, all the Qilin beasts looked painful, struggling to support this pressure and the powerful brand of divine consciousness in the sea of consciousness.
After a few breaths passed, a Qilin beast bleeded from its seven orifices, and then fell to the ground, screaming.
Immediately afterwards, several more Qilin beasts fell down one after another. Their death conditions were almost the same as the previous ones. They could not withstand the strong pressure and consciousness, and their souls were killed alive. They eventually died of bleeding from their seven orifices.
Seeing this situation, Lin Tianming relaxed a little, and things got better. Otherwise, all the Qilin beasts would have died, and it would be difficult to find such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
After a cup of tea, Lin Tianming had been in a stalemate with the Qilin Beast for a long time.
"Submit to the Lin family. With our family supporting you, your achievements will never be low, and we will treat you well. Submit."
Lin Tianming's seductive voice echoed in the minds of all the Qilin beasts over and over again.
Finally, a Qilin beast couldn't resist the intrusion of its spiritual consciousness. It retracted its legs and let go of the sea of consciousness while lying on the ground. Lin Tianming's spiritual consciousness directly invaded it and quickly carved his own spiritual mark.
When the brand of spiritual consciousness was successfully carved, the Qilin beast expressed its intention of surrender, and Lin Tianming let it go.
With the first Qilin beast surrendering, coupled with Lin Tianming's seductive voice, one after another Qilin beasts let go of the sea of consciousness and crawled on the ground to express their surrender.
Lin Tianming looked delighted and quickly carved the mark of his spiritual consciousness. When he returned to the family, he handed it over to the clan leader for arrangement.
Half a quarter of an hour later, all the remaining Qilin beasts surrendered, and the nine Qilin beasts lay on the ground in unison, with no fierce expressions anymore.
Seeing this situation, Lin Xingzhi and others were ecstatic. With these Qilin beasts, if given some opportunities, it is very possible to enter the second level, and the family's strength will be even stronger by then.
"It's a pity. If those second-level Qilin beasts can surrender, then..." Lin Tianhong muttered to himself and whispered.
Hearing this, Lin Tianming frowned and then said: "Qilin beasts are extremely talented and have extremely arrogant personalities. Even these mid-first-order Qilin beasts have a strong belief that they will not obey until death, and they will explode and die." No one wants to surrender, don’t even think about late first-order or second-order ones, unless it’s Jindan Zhenren, even with Third Grandpa’s cultivation, I’m afraid he may not be able to make the late first-order Qilin beast surrender.”
"Yes, although the first-level monsters are not very intelligent, they are strong and fierce in nature. It is not that easy to force them to surrender." Lin Xingzhi also agreed.
After hearing what the two said, the tribesmen nodded one after another, recording these experiences in their hearts.
Lin Tianming then put the nine unicorn beasts into the spirit beast bag, which was just big enough to put down these unicorn beasts. However, the purple golden eagle was so big that it could no longer fit inside, so they could only let it follow them.
Fortunately, after this battle, the half-year period was not long. They needed to explore the Qilin Beast's lair and recover from their injuries for a short period of time. Basically, they would not continue to train north.
In this case, keeping the purple golden eagle by your side, with its alert nature and second-level realm, can serve as a guard.
After coming back to his senses, Lin Tianming looked excited. After scanning the crowd, he said, "The crisis is over now, but the danger is still there. Clear the battlefield as soon as possible before searching the Qilin Beast's lair."
After hearing this, everyone's face turned rosy. This group of Qilin beasts is so powerful, and it is located at the border of Luoyun Mountain and Jinjiao Mountain. It belongs to the depths of the two mountain ranges. There must be some treasures that are rarely seen in ordinary times.
Thinking of this, everyone was overjoyed and began to clean up the messy canyon with extremely quick movements.
Lin Tianming also walked towards the corpses of three second-level Qilin beasts, and soon arrived in front of the corpses.
A quarter of an hour had passed since the three second-level Qilin beasts were killed. Previously, he had consumed too much spiritual energy and did not clean up the battlefield immediately. Now that the battle was over, he naturally had to clean up the battlefield immediately.
Looking at the scarred corpses of the three Qilin beasts, Lin Tianming had an expression of pain.
These three Qilin beasts suffered a lot of damage from the Talisman and the Tiangang Sword in the front, and were strangled crazily by the Earthly Sword Formation in the back. The precious animal skins were in tatters, and many parts of their bodies were missing. After spending so many treasures, just the Talisman It's worth tens of thousands of spirit stones. It would be a shame if you couldn't get something good.
Fortunately, the most precious two horns and the demon elixir were well preserved, which was enough to make up for his loss, otherwise he would have been heartbroken.
After regaining his consciousness, Lin Tianming swung the Tiangang Sword in his hand, dug out the demon elixirs of the three Qilin beasts, and then cut off the precious horns. This thing is a good material for refining second-level magic weapons. Use it properly. , add some rare materials, and refine a second-level low-grade magic weapon.
Although the leather armor is in tatters, it can still be used to make talismans. With the Qilin Beast's defensive power, the talismans created will definitely be extraordinary and can be brought back to the family and given to my sister in the future.
Lin Tianming collected the remaining demon beast souls and flesh and blood without any waste. The souls could be sealed into the Thousand Beast Flag to make up for the lost souls of the Thousand Beast Flag. The flesh and blood could be swallowed by the Purple Golden Eagle to help it accelerate its breakthrough.
Soon, he disposed of the corpses of the three second-order Qilin beasts. He turned his eyes and watched the tribesmen getting busy.
Although this battle was thrilling, every tribesman tried their best, and many tribesmen were seriously injured, but the harvest was great. All the tribesmen looked excited and happy, and collected all the useful things.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the messy canyon was cleaned up by the tribesmen, and its appearance had been greatly improved. Although it was far from what it was before the war, at least it looked as miserable as it was before.
A group of clan members gathered around Lin Tianming, their faces filled with the joy of victory.
"Is the count finished?" Lin Tianming asked.
Lin Xingzhi nodded and then replied:
"All the useful things have been collected, and the traces of the battle in the canyon have been erased. Now we can search for the Qilin Beast's lair!"
"Well..." Lin Tianming scanned the whole place, made sure nothing was missed, and then started to give instructions.
"Uncle Xingzhi, everyone is divided into three teams and searches deep into the canyon. This Qilin beast is very powerful and should have some good things!"
After hearing this, several people were so excited that they quickly formed three teams. They looked impatient and even forgot about their injuries.
Lin Tianming did not waste any time and led everyone towards the depths of the canyon. After searching the place, he would find a safe place to retreat and recover from his injuries.
Soon, they walked more than ten miles and appeared in the deepest part of the canyon.
Looking at it, the topography here is somewhat similar to that of the entrance to the canyon. The difference is that the clouds and mist here are thicker, and the temperature here is extremely low. As soon as you enter, you will feel a slight sense of coldness, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
What's even more strange is that his spiritual consciousness is even more restricted, and the range it can cover is much smaller than the entrance. It can only cover a few hundred feet in radius. However, Lin Xingzhi and other Qi Refining tribe members may not have the spiritual consciousness to The range that can be covered is smaller, almost no different from a blind man.
Lin Tianming and his tribe stopped on a huge rock, staring ahead with a thoughtful expression.
I don't know how much time passed before Lin Tianming said leisurely: "Uncle Xingzhi, this should be the lair of the Qilin Beast tribe, but it is very strange. We are divided into three groups, each of them should be careful, collect the information here as soon as possible, and finally return here. gather!"
"Okay... everyone be careful!"
After Lin Xingzhi and others replied, they led the clan members to explore in different directions.
Lin Tianming then looked at the purple golden eagle and told him to stay here and be on guard. If there was any movement in any direction, he would rush over to provide support as soon as possible.
After arranging this matter, he immediately chose a direction and walked towards the deepest part of the canyon.
Walking on this foggy canyon road, his consciousness widened. Although the coverage was limited, it was still better than a black eye.
Under the attention of his spiritual consciousness and five-colored eyes, every move around him is visible before his eyes.
Soon, he reached the center of the entire canyon.
At this time, he stared vigilantly at the depths of the canyon and searched everywhere.
Not far in front of it, there is a land of ice, and a biting cold air spurts out from the ground, and finally gathers in the thick mist.
Seeing this scene, Lin Tianming looked surprised and immediately rushed over against the cold.
Looking at the cold air gushing out from the ground, he became thoughtful.
"There must be something extremely cold with water attributes under the ground. This thick fog is emanating from the things below, so it can condense into such a large area."
"The Qilin Beast is a water-attribute monster. Only by occupying this place can it develop such a huge group. What's going on below is definitely not simple!"
Thinking of this, he was overjoyed and quickly took out the Tiangang Sword, preparing to dig up the place to see what treasures were inside.
The hard magic weapon Tiangang Sword pierced the ground and soon dug a pit dozens of feet deep.
But as he went down, the digging became more and more difficult. With his strength, he thrust out with his sword, but only dug out a little bit of soil.
"Why is this place so hard!"
After looking at the color of the soil under the ground, which gradually became lighter, Lin Tianming muttered to himself.
However, he did not give up. Although the digging speed was slow, it was not completely impossible.
He waved his sword again and again. I don't know how much time passed, but he dug out several feet deep again. The soil inside was lighter in color, with a hint of aqua blue.
He swung his sword again and cut out a large piece of crystal-like soil with difficulty. At the bottom, a piece of aqua blue stone was revealed, which looked so spiritually cool.
"Ice crystal!"
Seeing the small half of the stone exposed below, Lin Tianming's expression was ecstatic, and he quickly swung the Tiangang Sword to dig out the ice crystal.
After a while, he dug out this brick-sized ice crystal, put it in his hand and observed it carefully.
Ice crystal is a second-level high-grade spiritual mineral. It is an ice-based weapon refining material. It contains extremely powerful ice power. In addition, ice crystal is very hard. It can be widely used in both offensive and defensive treasures. It is the best. One of the weapon refining materials, this piece of ice crystal, is worth at least several hundred spirit stones, and its value far exceeds the Earth Xuan crystal obtained before.
The ice crystal in his hand is of excellent color, contains extremely rich ice properties, and has a crystal clear appearance that looks really good-looking.
I just don’t know how much ice crystals are stored. If I can dig out a hundred pieces, I can make up for the previous hard battles. If I can dig out hundreds of pieces, I will make a lot of money from this hard battle.
Lin Tianming thought to himself, with an unnatural smile on his lips.
At this moment, Lin Xingzhi's figure emerged from the thick fog. Seeing Lin Tianming here, he immediately walked up.
Lin Xingzhi looked at the ice crystal in Lin Tianming's hand with a look of disbelief on his face. He hesitated and asked, "Tianming...this...is...the ice crystal?"
Lin Tianming nodded with a half-smile, and then said:
"Uncle Xingzhi, go find Tianfeng and the others immediately. Just leave a team to search this place. Call the rest of the people over and dig out these to see how many ice crystals there are."
After hearing this, Lin Xingzhi was instantly ecstatic. Knowing that this matter was important, he turned around without hesitation to find Lin Tianfeng and others.
As Lin Xingzhi left, Lin Tianming continued to wave the Tiangang Sword in his hand and dug hard.
"Kengkengkengkeng..."
The Tiangang Sword bombarded the hard rock soil in an orderly manner.
Half an hour later, Lin Tianming was out of breath, sweat was pouring from his forehead, and his face was a little pale.
His injuries and spiritual power had not had time to recover. He was digging ice crystals with such high intensity at a very slow speed. If it went on for a long time, his injuries might continue to worsen.
Thinking of this, he stopped digging, sat down on the ground, took two more pills, and practiced while waiting for his tribe to arrive.
Soon, Lin Tianming's face gradually turned rosy, and the spiritual power in his body slowly recovered.
At this time, Lin Xingzhi rushed over with Lin Tianfeng and others.
They had obviously learned from Lin Xingzhi that ice crystals had been discovered here, and everyone looked ecstatic.
Everyone gathered around Lin Tianming, waiting for his instructions.
Lin Tianming opened his eyes, glanced at everyone, and then said, "How was everyone's search? Did you find any treasures?"
After hearing this, Lin Tianfeng and his clan members all reported their gains.
Their harvest from this trip was average. They only got some second-level water-attribute elixir materials. There were dozens of plants in total. They were all ordinary varieties and were barely worth nearly a thousand spiritual stones.
Lin Tianming nodded. He had already expected this. Although this place was the lair of the Qilin Beast, there were some ice crystals, and ordinary elixir materials could not grow at all. Only a very small amount of water-based materials could survive here.
He said a few words of comfort, and then started to talk about how he discovered these ice crystals.
Lin Tianfeng and others were overjoyed. They originally thought they had suffered a huge loss this time, but they did not expect that the real treasure was not the elixir ingredients at all.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Lin Tianming said:
"It is not easy to dig out the ice crystals here. Everyone is injured. We are divided into two groups to dig alternately. Those who are not seriously injured will excavate first. Those who are more seriously injured will recover some of their injuries and then replace them. We will work day and night to try to dig out the ice crystals as soon as possible. It’s all dug out.”
"Yes!" All the tribesmen replied in unison.
Later, the tribesmen consciously divided into two groups. Lin Xingzhi was not seriously injured, so he jumped into the pit with Lin Tianfeng and three other tribesmen, and started digging for ice crystals in high spirits.
Lin Tianming, Lin Tianhong and others sat around and started practicing each other.
Time flies, and days pass in the blink of an eye.
After two days of recovery, Lin Tianming's injuries were mostly healed, and his strength had reached about 80% of its peak level again.
Two clan members who were seriously injured did not join the excavation team, and the remaining eight people all started digging enthusiastically.
After several days of digging day and night, they obtained dozens of ice crystals, each one the size of a brick, and they were all of excellent quality.
After a few days, they also roughly explored the area and reserves of this spiritual mineral vein.
Not surprisingly, this ice crystal vein is a tiny vein, and at least two hundred ice crystals can be excavated. If the density of the spiritual mineral is high enough, it is not impossible to excavate hundreds of ice crystals.
Although the clan members were very tired at this time, no one would relax. Everyone tried their best to dig into the hard rock layer.
Lin Tianming has the highest level of cultivation. Coupled with the fact that his physical body has both rested, his physical strength alone is thousands of kilograms. He can dig the fastest. The speed of the rest of the people working together is not much faster than him. .
More than twenty days passed in a flash.
At this time, it has been half a year since they left the Qingzhushan tribe, and currently, a small part of the entire ice crystal vein has not been excavated.
"Everyone, come down and work harder. We can't delay for too long, otherwise the family will think we are in big trouble!"
After hearing Lin Tianming's words, Lin Xingzhi and his clan members rested for a while and then joined the excavation again.
All the tribesmen dug together, and the speed indeed increased a bit, and pieces of ice crystals were dug out.
A few days later, the entire ice vein was excavated.
At this time, the appearance of the ground completely changed. The canyon that originally looked quite flat was dug into a deep pit with an area of several hundred feet and a depth of up to one hundred feet, like a man-made abyss.
With a tired face on his face, Lin Tianming gathered all the clan members together and prepared to hand over the excavated ice crystals.
Lin Xingzhi was the first to bear the brunt, taking out more than thirty ice crystals in one breath and placing them neatly on the ground.
Seeing so many ice crystals, the remaining clan members' faces turned rosy, obviously the team was very satisfied with such a harvest.
Lin Tianfeng was the second to take out 30 ice crystals, only four less than Lin Xingzhi. He also gained a lot.
Next, each clan member took out the ice crystals. Lin Tianming counted them and then recorded them on the animal skin. When they returned to Qingzhu Mountain, they handed them over to the family to be exchanged for spiritual stones or good deeds.
As the remaining nine people all took out the ice crystals, the number reached 211, which was far beyond their expectations, not to mention that Lin Tianming had not yet taken out the ice crystals he had obtained.
Looking at the longing eyes of the clan members, Lin Tianming chuckled and then took out what he had collected. However, he kept a few ice crystals privately and planned to take them back to Lin Shilu to refine weapons.
Soon, a large number of ice crystals appeared on the ground again, with the number reaching an astonishing one hundred and sixty-five.
Lin Xingzhi and others were completely stunned at this time. Together with his harvest, he obtained 376 ice crystals this time, which was far beyond their expectations.
Everyone was pleasantly surprised when they looked at the mountains of ice crystals. The value of these ice crystals alone was more than 150,000 spiritual stones.
Lin Tianming took the lead in this battle. He spent a lot of treasures and killed three second-level mid-level Qilin beasts by himself. With all his hard work, he could at least get more than 50% of the harvest. The treasures consumed were less than the harvest. Not worth mentioning at all.
Even so, the rest of the credit is divided, and everyone gets a generous reward.
Under the excited eyes of the clan members, Lin Tianming collected all the ice crystals.
After looking at the tribesmen, Lin Tianming said excitedly:
"Everything has passed. The harvest from this trip far exceeded expectations. It's time for us to go back!"
"Yeah... I feel that I have made great progress after this experience. I can hit the foundation building stage when I return to the family!" Lin Xingzhi agreed excitedly.
"Well... let's go home!"
Lin Tianming said something and then led his tribe back to the entrance of the canyon. After meeting up with the purple golden eagle, the purple golden eagle directly carried everyone and flew towards Qingzhu Mountain.
