Chapter 383 Auction News
In fact, Lin Changsheng could guess to some extent the purpose of Qinglan Zhenren's visit.
However, the former did not get straight to the point. Instead, he chatted with Lin Changsheng over tea, introducing some strange and interesting stories from the cultivation world of Beicang.
Ultimately, they subtly steered the conversation toward Cangming Zhenjun.
The latter discovered the fourth-order spiritual vein in this place and established a Nascent Soul level force, which led to many conflicts with the other two major forces in Beicang.
Even these Nascent Soul True Monarchs have clashed in secret multiple times.
The two Nascent Soul True Monarchs from 'Flying Dragon Valley' and 'Wind Chant Pavilion', believing they had the blessing of their ancestors' inheritance, did not take True Monarch Beicang, a wild True Monarch, seriously enough.
Initially, the intention was simply to discourage the latter and expel him from the cultivation world, so that he could establish himself in other less developed cultivation areas.
However, True Monarch Cangming withstood the pressure and managed to establish a third-party force amidst the gap between the two Nascent Soul level forces, and quickly gained a foothold.
"So it turns out that True Lord Cangming has such heroic deeds. He is truly a role model for us cultivators."
Lin Changsheng, his admiration evident, sincerely praised him.
"Because True Monarch Cangming was originally a rogue cultivator, as the first Supreme Elder who founded the sect, he never asked about the origins of the cultivators who joined, but only valued their abilities and contributions to the development of the sect."
"As a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, Master Lin has a very high chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm in the future. Such an opportunity is extremely important for Golden Core cultivators. Not to mention the spiritual resources needed to break through to the Nascent Soul realm and the fourth-order spiritual vein dojo, the experience required for breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, as well as some of the trivial matters that need to be prepared, cannot be obtained through personal effort alone. Therefore, if there is the assistance of a sect, coupled with the guidance of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, and after thorough preparation, the chances of success may be even greater."
Master Qinglan smiled faintly, speaking clearly and methodically.
"What you say is absolutely right. The future attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul realm is a matter of great importance and requires careful consideration."
"Fortunately, I am still quite far from that point, so I am not in a hurry. I plan to investigate more places first, so that I can finally choose a place that matches my own aura."
Lin Changsheng smiled and gave a prepared explanation.
In fact, if it were just Lin Changsheng himself, given his current resources, most Nascent Soul level forces would welcome him with open arms and offer him a choice.
At most, there will only be a slight difference in treatment; the rest is about using one's own strengths to contribute to the sect.
Consider it a reward for using a fourth-order spiritual vein to break through to the Nascent Soul realm in the future.
However, now, in addition to considering his own cultivation, Lin Changsheng also has to consider the Nightmare Moth, whose realm has returned to the fourth level.
A fourth-tier demon king is equivalent to a human Nascent Soul True Monarch.
Furthermore, Lin Changsheng himself is a late-stage Golden Core cultivator. If he takes in these two as his master and pet, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the sect will probably have to worry about him all the time.
Because without a Nascent Soul True Monarch in charge, Lin Changsheng and Nightmare Moth alone would be enough to overthrow the entire sect.
Unless there are two or more Nascent Soul True Monarchs, or a sect like Liuyan Sect with a mid-Nascent Soul True Monarch in charge, they will not be able to deal with it.
However, Lin Changsheng would not easily join such a sect.
After all, the Nightmare Moth is a demon beast, and is not of the same race as human Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
Moreover, although the former is a fourth-order demon king, its innate supernatural power is divine sense. Its advantage in the spiritual aspect, apart from crushing lower-order cultivators with its superior realm, is more focused on support, making it relatively weak in combat power among its peers.
If one rashly joins a sect with excessively strong Nascent Soul cultivators, one must also bear the corresponding risks.
A fourth-tier demon king is extremely rare in the cultivation world, and everything about him is an invaluable treasure to human cultivators.
If other Nascent Soul cultivators harbor wicked intentions, the Nightmare Moth is highly likely to become a stepping stone for their advancement.
Qinglan Zhenren was quick-witted; although Lin Changsheng's words were tactful, she understood the meaning behind them.
Although Cangming Mountain is a Nascent Soul level force, it was only listed as a target for investigation by the other party.
Whether these are excuses or not, at least for the time being, this Lin Fu Master will not join any faction.
Qinglan Zhenren did not insist on this and maintained due respect for Lin Changsheng.
In her view, a great cultivator who can reach the later stage of cultivation is not comparable to an ordinary Golden Core cultivator. If they could be recruited easily, it would make people uneasy.
……
Thus, although they failed to recruit Lin Fushi, Cangming Mountain continued to extend friendly gestures towards Lin Changsheng.
Lin Changsheng did not refuse, and the two sides began a friendly cooperation.
As a third-tier talisman master, Lin Changsheng provided Cangming Mountain with a reserve of high-level talismans, while the latter provided him with some materials and more in-depth intelligence.
Although the local Xuanmiao Chamber of Commerce can also provide these services.
However, the latter was, after all, just a branch controlled by a fake Dan Zhenren. Whether it was the quality of the materials provided or the quality of the intelligence gathered, it was far inferior to Cangming Mountain, the local leader.
On this day, in the Daoist cave.
Dozens of gray beetles, about the size of broad beans, lay listlessly inside a specially made, semi-transparent jade box.
Through the lid, Lin Changsheng observed the contents of the jade box.
These gray beetles are the descendants of the fire beetles brought back from the forbidden land of the Yellow Springs.
In the memories of the 'Saint King of Reincarnation', Lin Changsheng gained a comprehensive understanding of these fire beetles.
These gray beetles, originally called 'Yin Fire Insects', are creatures of the underworld. Because they feed on corpses year after year and absorb Yin energy, they produce a special miasma in their bodies. When they come into contact with air, they spontaneously combust, forming a special kind of cold 'ghost fire' or 'necromantic fire'.
Therefore, this insect is also known as the 'Netherfire Worm'.
Perhaps it is because this fire is not found in the human realm, and there are few means to restrain it. Even Nascent Soul cultivators would avoid its sharp edge if they encountered a large number of Netherfire Insects.
Looking at the lifeless Netherfire Worms in the jade box, Lin Changsheng took out hundreds of 'Bright Silver Insect Eggs' and put them into it.
Smelling the rich, woody fragrance emanating from the green eggs, the Netherfire Insects perked up immediately, eagerly grabbing the eggs and devouring them, leaving only the soft rustling sounds of feeding inside the jade box.
"Eat up. Once you've eaten my food, you'll have to work hard to reproduce for me."
Looking at the sparse number of fireflies, Lin Changsheng was filled with anticipation.
He has experience raising silver beetles and has some understanding of insect habits.
Once these fireflies have gone through the initial few generations of adjustment and become fully accustomed to their captive environment, they will begin to reproduce rapidly.
The amazing life force contained in the bright silver worms is enough to provide nutrients and maintain the vitality of these fire worms that are in the process of getting used to each other.
……
A month later.
Lin Changsheng received the message from Qinglan Zhenren.
"One year later, Blood Shadow True Monarch of Blood Extreme Demon Palace will hold a special auction in Gunzhou and will send invitations to the surrounding sects."
After browsing the communication jade slip, Lin Changsheng's eyes flickered.
Blood Shadow True Monarch is a mid-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch, the highest-ranking cultivator in the surrounding cultivation world.
Back when he was in the Ghost Valley Sect, he went to a forbidden area with Ghost Valley True Lord, but they were ambushed and killed by Blood Shadow True Lord on the way.
In the end, although Guigu Zhenjun managed to escape, he was injured and needed to rely on Lin Changsheng's Changchun Gong (a type of internal energy cultivation technique) to recover as quickly as possible.
Knowing that his magical aura was unique, Lin Changsheng worried that the Ghost Valley True Lord would discover his magical talent and use him as a 'blood pack' for future use. That's why he secretly returned to Yue Kingdom under the pretext of going out for training.
However, for a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator like Blood Shadow True Monarch to hold such a grand auction and invite so many Nascent Soul level forces, there should be no danger.
At that time, high-level cultivators will gather, and such a grand event may produce Nascent Soul-Condensing Spiritual Objects.
