Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

On another battlefield, Lin Shiji was engaged in a fierce battle with a Silver Earth Scorpion, and neither side seemed to gain much of an advantage.

Following a brutal strike that repelled the Silver Earth Scorpion, Lin Shiji leaped onto a large rock dozens of feet in size, brought his palms together, and concentrated a Golden Sword Qi above his head, which he shot out, slashing towards the Silver Earth Scorpion.

"Damn beast, meet your death!"

As the sword fell, a burst of Sword Qi exploded, sending sand and stones scattering within a range of dozens of feet. Wherever the sword light passed, two of the Silver Earth Scorpion's legs were severed by the Sword Qi.

The Silver Earth Scorpion let out two agonizing howls, writhing in pain and becoming even more frenzied. As it bared its teeth in a grimace, it shot a dark brown poison from its tail stinger at Lin Shiji.

Shocked, Lin Shiji's escape speed soared, instantly shifting more than ten feet away to land on a tree.

While Lin Shiji narrowly avoided the attack, the rock he had just stepped on instantly dissolved into a pool of dark brown liquid, corroding a large hole in the ground.

Seeing the power, Lin Shiji couldn't help but exclaim.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"This poison's corrosive strength is indeed formidable!"

As the strike missed, the injured Silver Earth Scorpion contemplated retreating, burrowing into the ground and shuttling rapidly, planning to flee.

Lin Shiji hurriedly followed, chasing after the escaping Silver Earth Scorpion, with a distance of dozens of feet between man and beast.

Because the Silver Earth Scorpion had lost two legs, its speed was greatly reduced, but it was still very fast underground. Lin Shiji couldn't keep up for a short time, and the gap widened further.

Meanwhile, Lin Tianming had just helped Lin Tianhong kill a Silver Earth Scorpion and was preparing to support Lin Shiji, but unexpectedly, the Silver Earth Scorpion actually fled, and it was heading straight in Lin Tianming's direction.

Seeing Lin Tianming approaching from a distance, Lin Shiji was overjoyed and shouted eagerly,

"Tianming, stop this beast!"

Hearing Lin Shiji's shout, Lin Tianming swiftly launched several Sword Qi attacks, heading straight for the underground, planning to force the Silver Earth Scorpion to the surface.

"Puff puff puff..."

With several crisp sounds, the Sword Qi exploded just in front of the Silver Earth Scorpion. Hindered by the blasts, the escaping creature revealed half of its body.

Lin Tianming didn't hesitate and took out an Attack Talisman, activating it immediately, turning it into a Golden Sword Qi that raced towards the Silver Earth Scorpion.

With a bang, the Sword Qi struck the Silver Earth Scorpion, pushing it back several feet onto a colossal rock. The powerful impact shattered several pieces of the rock, and another leg of the Silver Earth Scorpion was severed, significantly slowing its speed.

The Silver Earth Scorpion had not yet stabilized its body when Lin Tianming spared no effort and immediately operated the Earth Fiend Sword Formation to envelop the creature within.

The panicked Silver Earth Scorpion desperately tried to break out of the Sword Array's range.

Lin Tianming maintained the operation of the Sword Array at full strength, pushing the power of the Earth Fiend Sword Formation to its limits. However, his Spiritual Power was draining rapidly.

The Silver Earth Scorpion was extremely frenzied, ramming multiple times, and the strong impacts inflicted no small damage on Lin Tianming's psyche, causing a trace of blood to seep from the corner of his mouth.

As his Spiritual Power was severely depleted, the Silver Earth Scorpion eventually escaped on the sixth charge.

At this point, the Silver Earth Scorpion was covered in wounds with several legs injured by Sword Qi, and its burrowing speed was weakened yet again.

Just as the Silver Earth Scorpion had broken free, Lin Shiji caught up and slashed out three swords in quick succession, with the furious Sword Qi heading straight for the injured beast.

In the blink of an eye, the Golden Sword Qi struck the Silver Earth Scorpion's head.

"Puff puff puff..."

Following several explosive sounds, the several-meter-long Silver Earth Scorpion collapsed onto the ground, crushing the stones beneath it into fragments.

Seeing the strongest Silver Earth Scorpion dead, Lin Shiji and Lin Tianming finally let out a long sigh of relief, gasping for breath as they sat on the ground, clearly exhausted.

"Tian Ming, thankfully you held it off. We finally killed the beast."

Overflowing with joy, Lin Shiji smiled and sincerely praised Lin Tianming.

If it weren't for Lin Tianming holding off the Silver Earth Scorpion, allowing him to arrive in time, exhausting all his Spiritual Power, and consecutively unleashing three Sword Qi, they wouldn't have been able to kill the beast so smoothly. Otherwise, given the Silver Earth Scorpion's speed—even if it were slightly injured—catching up to it would have been nearly impossible.

Meanwhile, with Lin Tianfeng and the others successfully dealing with the Silver Earth Scorpions they were fighting, they immediately aided the other clan members. After a tough battle, not a single one of the thirty-plus Silver Earth Scorpions escaped; all perished there.

At this point, the valley was strewn with severed limbs. The trees and stones that had once stood there were now broken or shattered, the whole place a complete mess.

The eleven of them sat in a circle, each tremendously drained, but all had smiles on their faces. They each took a Huiyuan Pill and sat down to meditate, recovering their depleted Spiritual Power.

Since it was Lin Tianhong's first time in real combat, he lacked experience and still got quite injured with the help of his clansmen, but no one perished, which was extremely fortunate.

Half a quarter of an hour later, as everyone's Spiritual Power had started to recover, Lin Shiji stood up and instructed them.

"Quickly remove the carapaces and Demon Cores from these Silver Earth Scorpions. Don't forget the poison stingers and the two large pincers—their parts are excellent materials for Artifact Refining."

"We can also collect some of their venom, and the flesh can be taken back; consuming it over time is beneficial!"

Upon hearing the orders, a hint of joy flashed across everyone's faces as they rushed toward the corpses of the Silver Earth Scorpions, separating all the useful parts.

Although the battle was dangerous, and some were slightly injured while also expending some talisman paper and elixirs, the rewards were substantial, easily compensating for those losses and promising a good amount of Spirit Stones.

The corpse of a Silver Earth Scorpion was a treasure all over; its Demon Core could be used for Alchemy, its carapace could be crafted into a defensive Spiritual Artifact, and its poison stingers and large pincers were valuable materials for Attack Spirit Weapons, which could fetch a good price.

Everyone was busy disassembling the corpses of the Silver Earth Scorpions. Lin Tianming was not falling behind, removing the carapace from a First Order Middle Stage Silver Earth Scorpion—indeed valuable, as even resisting one of his swords only caused a crack without affecting its suitability for Artifact Refining.

A quarter of an hour passed, and the Silver Earth Scorpions—once bloodied and dismembered—were meticulously dismantled, their useful limbs stored in storage bags, while the useless parts were buried on the spot, leaving the chaotic valley much cleaner.

After cleaning up the battlefield, everyone handed their storage bags over to Lin Shiji for safekeeping. Lin Shiji took out a piece of Beast Skin and recorded everyone's achievements. At the end of the hunting expedition, they would hand it over to the clan to exchange for Spirit Stones and distribute them according to their contributions.

Taking the storage bags from everyone, Lin Shiji was very satisfied and arranged their next move.

"There was a sizable number of Silver Earth Scorpions; we must have intruded into their territory. Since we've killed them all, there likely aren't many Silver Earth Scorpions of the First Order Middle Stage or above left. This area should be safe for now. Let's search the vicinity and see if we can find their lair; we might gain some more treasures. If found, immediately notify everyone!"

"Everyone split into pairs and search within a radius of more than ten miles. Remember not to go too far and accidentally enter the territory of other Demonic Beasts, as it would be very dangerous if we can't provide timely assistance!"

"Understood!"

Lin Tianming paired up with Lin Tianfeng, Lin Tianhong with Lin Xingzhi, and they were divided into five groups, each searching in different directions.

Lin Tianming and his companion chose one direction and started their careful search.

Half a quarter of an hour went by, and after covering quite a bit of ground, they found no traces.
