Chapter 68: The Reward from the Ancestral Temple, The Rarity of the Sacred Golden Core!



Chapter 68: The Reward from the Ancestral Temple, The Rarity of the Sacred Golden Core!

Perhaps Nangong Ruoxian knew how ridiculous Fang Yan looked now, so she patted his shoulder without expression.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, Fang Yan's body turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the distant sky.

Nangong Ruoxian looked at Lin Xuan and said flatly, "I'm sorry, this guy's brain is a bit damaged."

Lin Xuan nodded. He could see that Fang Yan's brain was indeed a bit damaged. The two of them simultaneously confirmed this matter and Fang Yan was still flying in the air.

"You're from the Human Race's Ancestral Temple?"

Although Fang Yan's brain was damaged, his words made Lin Xuan understand the origin of the two before him.

Nangong Ruoxian didn't deny it and nodded.

"The Hall Master of the Demon Restraining Hall reported the matter of your Heavenly Tribulation last time to the Ancestral Palace. The Ancestral Temple approved of the Lin family's actions, so they arranged for this journey."

Lin Xuan looked at Nangong Ruoxian and suddenly realized that she seemed familiar.

"What's your relationship with Nangong Yunyao?"

Nangong Ruoxian was slightly startled but then reacted.

"Fellow Daoist, have you met my sister?"

"Biological sisters?"

Lin Xuan was curious because the two of them looked remarkably alike.

Nangong Ruoxian nodded. "Twins."

Lin Xuan suddenly understood. This was a family drama!

Twin sisters of the same age, one at the Nascent Soul peak and the other at the Golden Core peak. The gap between the two was a whole realm, which gave a clear indication of their differences in talent. Therefore, the one with the lower status naturally became the marriage tool at home.

"Let's talk about the rewards."

Lin Xuan wasn't in the mood to deal with family troubles and shifted the conversation.

Nangong Ruoxian didn't refuse. She could inquire about her sister's situation later. Nangong Ruoxian raised her hand, and a pure white ring appeared in her hand, flying towards Lin Xuan.

"This spatial ring has a capacity of one thousand cubic meters, and it's the first reward."

Lin Xuan nodded. Even for Foundation Establishment cultivators, a storage tool with ten cubic meters of space was considered rare. Golden Core cultivators had slightly better ones, typically with a hundred cubic meters. In general, only Nascent Soul cultivators would use equipment like this. The Lin family was only a Foundation Establishment clan, so the generosity of the Ancestral Temple was remarkable.

They probably considered Lin Xuan's relationship as the ancestor of the Lin family. Otherwise, a one-thousand-cubic-meter spatial ring would be a catastrophe for the Lin family.

However, for Lin Xuan, this spatial ring held little appeal. His system's storage space was much larger, and with his cultivation level, it would continue to increase automatically. At his current level, he roughly estimated that he had at least a million cubic meters of space daily. So, in his eyes, a one-thousand-cubic-meter ring was quite unnecessary.

Nangong Ruoxian naturally noticed Lin Xuan's indifferent attitude and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Contempt was only due to having better items. However, according to the information Nangong Ruoxian received from the Ancestral Temple, this person had never left the Lin family since birth. How could he have a better spatial equipment than a Nascent Soul level ring?

Although she was curious, Nangong Ruoxian didn't ask. She looked at the pure white ring and continued.

"Inside the ring is a technique that can reach the peak of Nascent Soul: the Pure Spirit Scripture. Among the ten-thousand Nascent Soul level techniques in the Ancestral Temple, it is one of the best. Moreover, it is one of the foundational techniques of the Ancestral Temple and a prerequisite for the Heavenly Record.

"If Fellow Daoist mature in the future and have any ideas, Fellow Daoist can go to the Ancestral Temple and exchange for the Lin family. Of course, it would be even better if the Lin family disciples grow to the point where they can exchange for the Pure Spirit Scripture."

When Lin Xuan heard this, he finally showed some interest. Currently, the Lin family only had the Heaven and Earth Sword Art, but each cultivator had a different constitution. The Lin family couldn't have everyone suited for sword cultivation.

According to Nangong Ruoxian, the Pure Spirit Scripture was a unique Nascent Soul level technique suitable for cultivators with all elemental spirit roots.

The three words "Pure Spirit Scripture" pointed out the core of the technique: purifying spiritual energy. Its cultivation speed was slightly lower than other Nascent Soul level techniques, but the quality of spiritual energy it cultivated was top-notch. The most obvious benefit of this was that cultivators of the Pure Spirit Scripture were practically invincible within the same realm.

When breaking through the bottleneck of a major realm, the success rate was also much higher compared to other cultivators.

Moreover, there was also a solution to the problem of slow cultivation speed. As long as there were enough spiritual pills, elixirs, or other resources, the cultivation speed of the Pure Spirit Scripture could be much faster than other Nascent Soul level techniques. This was one of the reasons it became one of the top Nascent Soul level techniques in the Ancestral Temple.

The last item wasn't superfluous. After all, whether it was pills, elixirs, or other medicinal substances, cultivators had a certain resistance to their effects and poisons. Over-consuming them in a short time would have more drawbacks than benefits.

The Pure Spirit Scripture's solution was to minimize the resistance to the effects of medicinal substances. It could even completely purify any toxins from pills and elixirs, allowing cultivators to practice without any worries.

Of course, all of this came with a prerequisite: it required vast resources. To maintain peak combat power and cultivation speed at the same time would consume significant natural resources. Ordinary forces simply couldn't afford such consumption.

Lin Xuan glanced at the Pure Spirit Scripture and paid no further attention to it. While it was a good thing for the Lin family, it wasn't useful to him.

This item held no significance for him, just like the spatial ring. In Lin Xuan's body, regardless of the abilities of the Heavenly Swallowing Python's bloodline or the recently acquired Demonic God Nine Transformations, they were all completely useless. In this aspect, he completely overshadowed the Pure Spirit Scripture.

Nangong Ruoxian noticed this and found Lin Xuan quite unusual. The things granted by the Ancestral Temple to the Lin family didn't concern him. Besides these two matters, Lin Xuan also didn't wait for Nangong Ruoxian to introduce herself. His spiritual sense had already entered the spatial ring.

What he saw were various cultivation resources, with the majority being Second and Third Rank items. There were even quite a few Fourth Rank Nascent Soul level cultivators.

Among them, there were over a thousand Second Rank Foundation Establishment resources that could assist Ninth Rank Qi Condensation cultivators in breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. There were 500 Foundation Establishment pills and many other resources that could aid in breaking through this realm.

Besides, there were a hundred Gold Origin Pills, which could help cultivators break through to Foundation Establishment. Besides these, there were numerous resources aligned with the Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth elements. There were also items Lin Xuan had never heard of before, like the Thousand-Year Stone Milk and the Golden Cicada Pill. Moreover, there were many resources that could aid in the breakthrough to Nascent Soul.

There was also a kind of resource that Lin Xuan was particularly familiar with – the Sacred Golden Pill. The old man from the Mu family promised him one to spare his life. Compared to the other resources in the ring, the quantity of Sacred Golden Pills was significantly scarcer. There were only three of them.

In Lin Xuan's system space, there were many of these kinds of pills. The system had rewarded him a total of a hundred pills. The effects of the Sacred Golden Pill were considered miraculous by other cultivators because it could unconditionally raise the quality of a cultivator's golden core by one level. This was equivalent to directly increasing the cultivator's comprehension of Dao and combat experience to the maximum limit.

However, for Lin Xuan, it was utterly useless. It had a limit of a Ninth Rank Golden Core, and a cultivator could only consume one in their lifetime. Lin Xuan's Great Dao Golden Core had long reached its peak, with no room for improvement.

"How many Sacred Golden Pills does the Ancestral Temple have?" Lin Xuan looked at Nangong Ruoxian curiously.

Nangong Ruoxian wasn't surprised. This was probably the only thing in the ring that could pique Lin Xuan's curiosity.

"Not many. The effects of Sacred Golden Pills are extraordinary, but the materials required for their production are ancient treasures, many of which have disappeared in the river of history. The Ancestral Temple manages two or three secret realms that can produce these ancient treasures.

"I'm somewhat surprised that Sacred Golden Pills are included in the rewards for the Lin family this time. After all, Sacred Golden Pills, even in the Ancestral Temple, are precious resources. Generally, only cultivators who have refined a Seventh Rank Golden Core or higher are eligible to apply for them."

"Of course, with Fellow Daoist's aptitude, Fellow Daoist definitely won't need them."

Nangong Ruoxian looked at Lin Xuan. In her eyes, Lin Xuan's aptitude was extraordinary, and he probably had condensed a Ninth Rank Golden Core. Moreover, according to the information she obtained from the Ancestral Temple, Lin Xuan indeed had broken through to the Golden Core Realm during the Heavenly Dao Tribulation in Renhuai County.

Though he knew Nangong Ruoxian was testing him, Lin Xuan simply nodded in response. With the battle power he displayed, even if he didn't speak, someone would believe in him. However, he was now certain that Old man Mu of the Mu family just wanted to take advantage of him. This elder was just a Golden Core guard of an Eighth Rank force. How could he obtain such precious resources from the Ancestral Temple?

"It's a good thing I didn't hesitate to send this guy to the Western Heavens; otherwise, my reputation would be ruined," Lin Xuan thought to himself.

While pondering this, his spiritual sense had thoroughly examined the contents of the ring. Lin Xuan looked at Nangong Ruoxian in surprise.

"Is the Ancestral Temple planning to manage everything and develop the Lin family into a Nascent Soul force?"
