Chapter 285: Chapter 191 Shock_2
Thinking of these things, Lin Tianming spoke up, “The lad will remember not to take risks lightly in the future!”
“Hmm…”
Lin Shilu nodded and moved past the subject, continuing to share their experiences, from the two of them partnering up to search for treasures, to their encounter with Long Hai, and finally their cooperation in attacking the Dragon-Eyed Beast tribe, which led to them obtaining more than ten mature White Jade Grasses.
Upon hearing this news, Lin Shikang and the rest of the clan members were beyond shocked.
They originally thought that acquiring the Seven-Colored Golden Lotus and some Second Order Spiritual Medicine was decent enough, but they had not expected to obtain the primary ingredient for Foundation Establishment Pills, which the family was in desperate need of.
With this, the clan now had the ability to refine Foundation Establishment Pills on their own, and these more than ten mature White Jade Grasses could at least create several Foundation Establishment Clan Members.
Thinking of this, Lin Shikang and a few others laughed heartily, their emotions running high.
However, before they could celebrate for long, Lin Shilu started talking about the encirclement of the Third Order Tianluan Turtle, causing everyone’s heart to once again hang in suspense, as if they were experiencing it themselves.
If it weren’t for seeing the two return safely and without any major injuries, they would surely think they were joking.
Only after Lin Shilu mentioned the Star Moon Fruit did they understand why the two had been so reckless, even driving the usually prudent Lin Shilu to take such risks.
Lin Shilu didn’t stop there; he recounted the entire battle as well as their adventurous feat of obtaining three Star Moon Fruits with Long Hai.
Hearing this earth-shattering news, all four were breathing rapidly, their faces soon flushing red.
After a silence lasting more than ten breaths, none of them spoke until Lin Shikang was the first to come around, asking in a probing tone,
“Shilu… is this… is this true?”
“Tian Ming… are you not joking?”
Hearing these hesitant words, which clearly lacked confidence, Lin Shilu frowned, took out the Star Moon Fruits from his storage bag, and placed them in Lin Shikang’s hand.
Felling the substantial weight in his palm, as well as that peculiar energy fluctuation, Lin Shikang finally believed it.
Lin Shihua and the rest, seeing the Star Moon Fruit, cautiously approached and inspected the fruit thoroughly, understanding it completely.
At that moment, the scene was very quiet until everyone confirmed the authenticity of the Star Moon Fruit, and then it completely erupted into excitement.
Watching Lin Shikang laugh heartily, even with tears brimming in his eyes, Lin Tianming also felt extreme excitement.
Seeing the thrilled expressions on everyone’s faces and recalling their own nerves stretched tight during those days and the moments seeking a lifeline on the verge of death, they felt that their efforts were entirely worthwhile.
They were even immensely relieved that they had made the right decision and that their hard work had paid off accordingly.
Soon, the crowd calmed down from their euphoria, and Lin Shilu continued with what happened next.
Upon learning that he traded a Star Moon Fruit for a thread of survival, everyone looked relieved, showing not the slightest hint of regret for the loss.
“Shilu, you both did well. In such a moment of crisis, even if you had to throw away everything, it was necessary!”
Hearing Lin Shikang’s words, Lin Shihua chimed in as well.
“Yes… having life is better than any treasure!”@@novelbin@@
Lin Shilu nodded, recalling the situation at the time, knowing that if one Star Moon Fruit couldn’t resolve the crisis, he would not hesitate to throw away the rest to secure a chance at life.
He himself wasn’t afraid of death, but given that Lin Tianming was with him, if they had died in the Secret Realm, the loss to the family would certainly exceed a Star Moon Fruit.
Considering his own talent and the potential he had demonstrated, not to mention the Star Moon Fruit, even for a Nascent Soul Spiritual Item, he would naturally give it up without hesitation.
Bringing his mind back to the present, Lin Shilu changed the topic and said,
“Elders, although our journey to the Secret Realm was treacherous, the outcome was very satisfying, and it wasn’t in vain that Tian Ming and I walked through the gates of death twice!”
Before the words had even finished, Lin Tianming also interjected, saying:
“Indeed… we must quickly transplant the White Jade Grass seedlings. Although they may not all survive, even if a single plant does, it could create one or two Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the future!”
After saying this, Lin Shilu handed over all the White Jade Grass seedlings to Lin Shihua and gave the mature White Jade Grass to Lin Tianming to prepare him to refine the Foundation Establishment Pills for storage within the clan.
Lin Tianming accepted the fifteen mature White Jade Grass plants. Now that his success rate in refining Second Order lower-grade elixirs was quite high, such precious elixirs naturally had to be refined by him.
However, he planned to enter secluded cultivation for a time. After breaking through to the Third Level of Foundation Establishment, he would practice refining some elixirs to warm up before he began refining the Foundation Establishment Pills, to make the process as foolproof as possible.
After arranging for the White Jade Grass, Lin Shilu subsequently took out several prepared storage bags, which contained the spiritual objects they had obtained during this period.
However, the treasures beneficial to them had already been picked out and distributed. Apart from the Second Order Magical Artifacts and elixirs, there were not many valuable items left, but the quantity was exceptionally vast, a rare find for the clan’s Qi Refining Stage Clanspeople.
Lin Shilu passed the storage bags to Lin Shihua, then spoke:
“Twelfth Brother, these items were acquired by Tian Ming and myself in the Secret Realm. Apart from the Second Order Magical Artifacts and elixirs which are prepared for you, the rest will be unconditionally turned over to the clan.”
As soon as Lin Shilu finished speaking, Lin Shikang first took the storage bags. After a sweep with his Divine Sense, he found that the treasures inside were numerous, and their value was not at all insignificant.
Lin Shikang handed the storage bags to Lin Shihua and said:
“Shilu, let Shihua deposit these treasures into the clan’s treasury. Besides the Spirit Stones you spent on purchasing White Jade Grass, the clan will reward you with thirty thousand Spirit Stones, and Tian Ming with twenty thousand. How does that sound?”
No sooner had he finished speaking than Lin Shilu began to refuse.
“Elder Brother, there’s no need for a reward. We already obtained plenty from our trip; this is something we willingly offer to the clan!”
“Yes, Third Grandfather… Tian Ming and Fifteenth Grandfather don’t lack Spirit Stones. Let’s forego the rewards!” Lin Tianming also chimed in.
In the Secret Realm, they had each gathered tens of thousands of Spirit Stones from several storage bags they had picked up, along with many treasures. At present, they were not in need of Spirit Stones or cultivation elixirs.
As for the clan’s rewards, they had no intention of accepting them before they made their offer, let alone after.
Hearing the response from Lin Tianming and the others, Lin Shikang’s expression turned serious as he said:
“How could that be acceptable? You’ve already done so much for the clan, it’s only right if you’d accept regardless of the amount!”
“Stop being so formal. Over the years, you two have toiled and traveled far for the clan, gone through numerous skirmishes, and established countless merits. No matter how small, do not refuse this token of appreciation!”
“Moreover, now that the clan has the income from Luoyun Market and Luoyun Pavilion, we’re not in the same financial strain as before!”
Lin Shigong and Lin Xingrong, due to their status, did not speak much, but they also persuaded Lin Shilu to accept, while suggesting that Tian Ming’s reward be skipped since he was already wealthy and did not require much.
“What do you think, Tian Ming?”
Lin Shilu left the decision to him, and Lin Tianming hesitated. Faced with Lin Shikang and Lin Shihua’s stern expressions, he was at a loss for words.
“This… this… alright then!”
With Lin Shikang and Lin Shihua persistently persuading, Lin Shilu and Lin Tianming had no choice but to accept the reward situation.
In the end, Lin Shilu took out a storage bag containing the Second Order Pills and several Second Order Magical Artifacts.
He handed the storage bag to Lin Shihua, then said:
“Shihua, these Second Order Magical Artifacts are exquisite treasures, used by cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. When you have time, distribute them to Ninth Brother and Xing Yuan!”
“Haha… then I’ll thank you on behalf of Xing Yuan and the others!”
Lin Shihua, not one to be overly courteous, accepted the storage bag on behalf of the clan members who had just entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, promising to pass it on to them.
“Heh heh… I only have one Attack Talisman myself, previously used by a Jin Family Cultivator, indeed its power is quite ordinary. With this Second Order Magical Artifact, my strength can also increase somewhat!”
Faced with Lin Shihua murmuring to himself, everyone smiled knowingly, and securely stored their treasures away.
