126: Mysterious book magic weapon

Inside the Immortal Cave beside the Green Lotus Pond, Lin Shiming opened his eyes and let out a long breath of turbid Qi.

Three days later, he had finally recovered from the beast tide.

That day, he and Lin Xianzhi returned to Fangmu Mountain and jointly defeated the hordes of Yao Beasts that had attacked the mountain.

Fortunately, most of the third and fourth-tier Yao Beasts were outside Qingyun City. On Fangmu Mountain, the Lin Family only encountered three third-tier Yao Beasts, all of which were in the Early Stage.

With Lin Houyong and Lin Shijie working together, coupled with Fangmu Mountain's great Formation, they managed to hold out until Lin Shiming and Lin Xianzhi arrived as reinforcements.

After driving away the Yao Beasts, Lin Shiming returned to the mountain to heal his injuries, while Seventh Grand Uncle Lin Xianzhi went to Nanling Mountain in Lingnan County to assist Lin Houyong in defeating the beast tide.

With everything settled, Lin Shiming began to tally the gains from the beast tide.

He first sorted out the Yao Beast Materials. These Materials, both third and second-tier, were roughly estimated to be worth about 100,000 Spirit Stones. This was even with the premise that so many Yao Beasts had been killed, causing their Materials to depreciate significantly; otherwise, the value would have been even higher.

One must know that Lin Shiming had killed more than a dozen ape-type third-tier Yao Beasts.

Of course, these Materials also sparked Lin Shiming's interest in Artifact Refining.

The Family had a Glinting Metal Stone Vein and so many Yao Beast Materials. The Family also had a batch of first and second-tier Yao Beasts, enough to support him in going far on the path of Artifact Refining.

After collecting all the Artifact Refining Materials, Lin Shiming released the Golden Wings. At this time, the Golden Wings looked quite miserable. Of its two scythe-like forelegs, only one remained; the other had been forcefully blown apart by Li Chuanhuan in Qingyun City.

The Golden Wings chirped, its huge body already a little taller than Lin Shiming. Its triangular head affectionately nudged Lin Shiming's forehead.

Lin Shiming took a step back, gently stroked the Golden Wings's head, a hint of sorrow in his eyes. He then took out a Medicinal Pill for healing and fed another one to the Golden Wings, then took out a large bowl of third-tier spirit water from the Green Lotus Pond and fed it to the Golden Wings.

The Golden Wings once again lay prostrate against the wall of its stone chamber, and Lin Shiming finally took out a new Storage Pouch and a new spirit beast pouch.

The contents of this Storage Pouch and spirit beast pouch all belonged to the Spirit Beast Sect Disciple from Qingyun City.

After having the Golden Wings assassinate him that day, he immediately swapped the Storage Pouch and spirit beast pouch below.

Lin Shiming first opened the Storage Pouch. Inside, he first took out a gray cloth bag Magical Artifact.

Lin Shiming had witnessed the miraculous nature of this cloth bag Magical Artifact; the corpse of the Six-Winged Devilish Mantis had been directly collected by this cloth bag Magical Artifact.

The cloth bag felt cold to the touch. After infusing it with true Qi, he suddenly discovered that this cloth bag Magical Artifact was actually a High Grade third-tier Magical Artifact.

Its effectiveness was particularly targeted at Yao Beasts. Any heavily injured or dying third-tier Yao Beast could be forcibly absorbed, and then directly killed by the demonic wind within the bag.

Of course, this cloth bag Magical Artifact could also release a strong wind attack, comparable to a general High Grade third-tier Magical Artifact. The key was that its demands on true Qi were not as high as those of a High Grade third-tier Magical Artifact.

This was another pleasant surprise for Lin Shiming.

"I'll call you the Demon Binding Pouch!" Lin Shiming said with a smile, putting away the cloth bag Magical Artifact, planning to refine this Demon Binding Pouch once this matter was settled.

Aside from the Demon Binding Pouch Magical Artifact, Lin Shiming also found two Medium Grade third-tier Magical Swords and a Medium Grade third-tier shield in the Storage Pouch.

The remaining Magical Artifacts did not catch Lin Shiming's eye.

At the same time, the Storage Pouch also contained a large amount of Yao Beast Materials. To Lin Shiming's surprise, not only was the corpse of the Six-Winged Devilish Mantis inside, but there were also many ape Yao Beast corpses. And within the body of a Great Strength Golden Ape, there was even an unextracted third-tier inner core.

This was truly a blessing in disguise, and the Red-haired Demon Monkey finally had hope of advancing to a third-tier Yao Beast, which would also increase his combat power.

Otherwise, a second-tier Yao Beast was already of little help to him.

If he didn't get this Opportunity, the Red-haired Demon Monkey would probably suffer the same fate as the Golden Luan Eagle.

With a third-tier inner core, he would then ask the Family for a Demon Breaking Pill. If it still couldn't Breakthrough to a third-tier Yao Beast, then Lin Shiming would have no other choice.

Putting away the Yao Beast Materials, he then looked at the Jade Slips.

Most of the Jade Slips contained information on Yao Beast habits, capture, and some secret Formations. This was helpful to Lin Shiming, but not as much as the Beast Taming Introductory Manual he had obtained from Cultivator Wu.

This left Lin Shiming a little disappointed, but after a moment's thought, he understood that it was impossible for all Spirit Beast Sect Disciples to carry Sect Secret Manuals out of the Sect.

However, the next moment, Lin Shiming saw a yellow-covered book, which puzzled him.

Most Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals in the Cultivation world were on Jade Slips, as Jade Slips clearly preserved information longer than books.

However, when he picked up the book, he suddenly discovered that it was actually a Magical Artifact.

The book was entirely refined from mysterious beast hide, but after infusing it with true Qi, he found that the book was a damaged fourth-tier Magic Treasure.

This filled him with pleasant surprise. Moreover, when he opened the book, it actually contained secret methods for breeding insects and for promoting the evolution of Spirit Beasts.

The entire book had only seven or eight pages. Two of the pages described the refining of a special Medicinal Pill that promoted the mutual devouring and reproduction of spirit insects and Spirit Beasts.

The other few pages contained a secret method for transferring Yao Beast Bloodline, a Dao method called the Bloodfiend Yao Ancestral Return Secret Method.

For Lin Shiming, this was no less significant than the Heavenly Wood Spirit Planting Secret Method.

He finally understood why that Spirit Beast Sect Disciple was constantly capturing precious Yao Beasts. Clearly, one reason was to purify their Bloodline, and the other was to breed and obtain precious Spirit Beasts.

Lin Shiming couldn't calm down for a long time and thought of the Spirit Devouring Ants again. He opened the spirit beast pouch, took out a jade box, and inside, dozens of Spirit Devouring Ants buzzed. Each Spirit Devouring Ant, having not devoured Spiritual Qi for a long time and suppressed by the spirit jade, looked listless at this moment, no longer possessing its former ferocity.

If these Spirit Devouring Ants were properly cultivated, they might once again display the ferocity that broke the Formation that day!

The more Lin Shiming thought about it, the more excited he became, unable to calm down for a long time.

However, he also knew that this matter could not be rushed. The Spirit Devouring Ants were extremely ferocious. If he dealt with them now, there was no guarantee they wouldn't resist. It was better to continue keeping them in the spirit jade to temper their ferocity!

Putting away the book Magic Treasure, he then looked at the remaining items in the Storage Pouch and spirit beast pouch. The Storage Pouch only contained seventy to eighty thousand Spirit Stones. In the spirit beast pouch, there was a third-tier Yao Beast, but it had already acknowledged a master and had suffered a backlash from the spirit contract, losing the necessity for further cultivation. He directly killed it and used it as Artifact Refining Materials.

In the corner of the Storage Pouch, Lin Shiming was pleasantly surprised to find two Bloodfiend Thunders.

The Bloodfiend Thunder was a secret thunder of true Qi condensed by a lightning-attributed Cultivator consuming his vital essence. It was a one-time attack item, but it had a significant reputation in the Cultivation world, almost equivalent to the full-power strike of a Late Foundation Establishment Stage lightning Cultivator.

If used well, it was highly possible to severely injure a Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator.

Seeing this, Lin Shiming also felt a bit fortunate that it was in the chaotic environment of Qingyun City that day that the Golden Wings had managed a sneak attack. Otherwise, if they had truly fought, he might not have been a match for that Spirit Beast Sect Disciple.

Putting everything else aside, just these two Bloodfiend Thunders could have left him in a life-or-death situation.
