Lin Yongmao was no saint; he had no mercy.
Furthermore, if not for Lin Yongrong's scheme, he wouldn't have become a Utility Disciple of the Qinglan Sect, which led to the former body's death.
Although he wasn't the former Lin Yongmao, the memories and emotions of the previous body still affected him.
"Lin Yongrong, you're dead!"
Lin Yongrong was four years older than him, and his Cultivation had reached the Qi Refining Stage Seventh Level.
Although Lin Yongmao was not his opponent now, as long as he Cultivated diligently, with his Spiritual Root Aptitude, he could easily surpass him.
Besides, Lin Yongmao also had the Shennong Check-in System!
Lin Yucheng and Han Yuying looked at the spirit plant fields on Qianzhang Cliff.
The spirit plant fields had expanded to three or four mu, mostly planted with Spirit Rice, with a small amount of Illusion Heart Flower and spirit gathering grass.
The most striking was a blood-stopping vine on the cliff wall, which had reached over a hundred years in medicinal age.
Only the World Tree seedling showed no obvious growth, hidden among the Spirit Rice.
"Son, did you plant all these?"
"In just one month, these spirit plants have grown to such an extent."
Han Yuying felt it was incredible.
Lin Yongmao just nodded, not saying much.
From the moment he handed the Spirit Rice to Han Yuying to process, he had no intention of hiding it from his parents.
"Very good, very good!"
Lin Yucheng praised repeatedly; with his son able to plant so much Spirit Rice, he should no longer worry about Cultivation resources.
"It seems I need to make more trips to the market in Yang City; this Spirit Rice can be sold in large quantities."
Han Yuying said, "It's not safe enough for our son on Qianzhang Cliff. Although a First-Order Guardian Formation has been set up, it's only a defensive Formation. It's best to purchase another Illusion Formation to completely conceal his whereabouts here."
"Also, buy more defensive Magical Artifacts for our son. Anyway, after selling this Spirit Rice, we won't lack Spirit Stones."
Lin Yucheng readily agreed, saying, "Alright, I'll take care of this!"
Lin Yongmao said, "Mother, I want to participate in the Family's First-Order Lingzhi Master assessment. I am already a First-Order Lingzhi Master. If I hand over some spirit plants to the Family, it would be reasonable."
"Really?" Seeing their son achieve such success, how could parents not be happy?
"By the way, my Cultivation has also reached the Qi Refining Stage Fifth Level," Lin Yongmao added.
The couple was very happy and quickly congratulated Lin Yongmao.
Since their son experienced a life-and-death crisis, his thoughts had become much more meticulous, and his Heart-Nature had undergone a great change.
He no longer seemed like a sixteen-year-old child.
Lin Yongmao had a reason for planning to participate in the First-Order Lingzhi Master assessment.
Within the Family, fifteen years old signified adulthood, meaning the Family would no longer unconditionally provide Cultivation resources, but would require the completion of a series of Family tasks.
Either go out and hunt demons, or complete some miscellaneous tasks within the Family.
If he could become a First-Order Lingzhi Master within the Family, he naturally wouldn't need to complete any Family tasks, only needing to casually hand over some spirit plants.
Moreover, the higher his status, the less likely Lin Yongrong would be able to harm him.
Han Yuying said, "Alright, I'll apply to the Family. We should be able to start the First-Order Lingzhi Master assessment tomorrow."
Before leaving, Han Yuying handed all the Storage Pouches of the three killed Loose Cultivators to Lin Yongmao for him to handle.
...
Besides two Low Grade Flying Swords, there were three Storage Pouches.
Flying Swords were the most common Low Grade Magical Artifacts and not valuable, but a low-level Cultivator would die if stabbed by such a Flying Sword.
Therefore, this type of Low Grade Flying Sword was favored by Qi Refining Cultivators.
Lin Yongmao unceremoniously put the two Flying Swords into his Storage Pouch.
The items inside the three Storage Pouches were also all poured out by Lin Yongmao.
Change of clothes
Portable dry food
Woman's bellyband
...
Most of them were worthless items.
The three Loose Cultivators were poor Cultivators, and anything they obtained was probably exchanged for resources needed for their own Cultivation.
"Adding it all up, there are only over a hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and some Low Grade Medicinal Pills for healing. I don't care for anything else..."
"Loose Cultivators are really poor!"
"Huh, what's this?"
An exquisite jade box was hidden among the spare clothes, almost burned by Lin Yongmao.
Lin Yongmao carefully opened the jade box, and inside were several seeds.
If they were ordinary spirit plant seeds, they would lose their vitality as soon as they were put into a Storage Pouch, as if they had been boiled in water.
The reason was simple: Storage Pouches could not store any living things.
Whether it was a Spirit Beast or a spirit plant, as long as it was put into a Storage Pouch, its vitality would be completely cut off.
However, a jade box, after simple refining, had the effect of preserving the vitality of spirit plants very well.
"What kind of seeds are these?"
"They were hidden so carefully by them, they must not be ordinary seeds!"
Lin Yongmao quickly used the System's Attribute Panel for identification.
Sword Soul Grass:
Grade: First-Order Low Grade (Evolvable)
Description: Its leaves contain powerful Sword Intent, which can transform into Flying Swords to attack enemies, or be melted into Flying Swords to enhance their spirituality. It can grow up to a Nine-Leaf sword soul grass. It is best cultivated with Gengjin Qi.
No wonder one of the Loose Cultivators hid this jade box; it turned out to be such a miraculous spirit plant seed.
There was no record of this spirit plant in the Primary Spiritual Plant Compendium.
Attack-type spirit plants were already rare.
They must have learned about the information of this spirit plant seed through some channel, but just didn't dare to sell it.
Once they traded spirit plant seeds of this level, they would probably have the life to take the Spirit Stones but not the life to spend them.
Unexpectedly, it benefited Lin Yongmao.
Lin Yongmao quickly planted the four sword soul grass seeds.
"It will take 15 days, 10 hours, 23 minutes, and 11 seconds for the sword soul grass seeds to sprout."
Seeing the information on the Attribute Panel, Lin Yongmao also felt helpless; the rarer the spirit plant, the longer it took to grow.
"But where can I find this Gengjin Qi?"
Gengjin Qi could accelerate the growth of sword soul grass and even promote its evolution. Unfortunately, at Lin Yongmao's current level, he could not obtain such a rare resource.
Lin Yongmao carefully cleaned up the other sundries again. After confirming that there were no useful items, he set a fire and burned all the useless things, leaving no trace.
This attack by the three Loose Cultivators also sounded an alarm for him.
Qianzhang Cliff was not safe. He had to find ways to improve his strength and defensive measures, as enemies lurking in the dark could attack him at any time.
Fortunately, the Loose Cultivators who came this time were not highly Cultivated. But what if the Cultivation of the three Loose Cultivators were all at the Qi Refining Stage Great Perfection or even Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators? Even with a Formation, he wouldn't be able to resist.
