Chapter 1748: Chapter 901: Zhou Tianlong (2)
However, such vast and complete spiritual medicines are themselves a considerable fortune.
Beyond this, in a certain corner of this spirit fields, there are dozens of Second Order spiritual medicine materials growing lushly.
Upon seeing this scene, Lin Tianming couldnât help but sigh inwardly; the spiritual medicine materials here are already comparable to a small Golden Core forceâs Spiritual Medicine Garden.
And itâs clear that these spiritual medicine materials in the spirit fields probably belong personally to Zhou Tianlong.
Thereâs even a great possibility that these spiritual medicines are merely plants Zhou Tianlong grew casually.
Zhou Tianlong himself happens to be a high-order alchemist, and his age exceeds two thousand years.
Over such a long time, it wouldnât be surprising for him to develop his own spirit field and plant some common Third and Fourth Order spiritual medicines.
In fact, in the current Cultivation World, many Third and Fourth Order alchemists would do the same.
Furthermore, Zhou Tianlong, as the most powerful in the Yulan Sect, can mobilize the entire sectâs strength to help him collect all sorts of needed spiritual medicine materials.
Including anything from the Yulan Sectâs treasure vault and Spiritual Medicine Garden, Zhou Tianlong can use and deploy at will.
On such a basis, Zhou Tianlongâs identity and influence are clearly manifested.
Lin Tianming, of course, understands this point, so he was not particularly surprised upon seeing this spirit field, nor did he feel shocked.
Instead, it was elsewhere in a valley peak where Lin Tianming spotted a Third Order Golden Jiaolong.
At the moment, this Golden Jiaolong is coiled on the mountain top, its crimson scales particularly conspicuous under the sunlight.
Thus, upon seeing this spirit beast, Lin Tianming felt somewhat astonished.
The reason being, the Golden Jiaolong before him is a being that ordinary spirit beasts cannot compare with.
In the current Cultivation World, the Golden Jiaolong is an extremely rare and unusual spirit beast, with extremely powerful talent and bloodline, possessing incredibly mysterious and formidable methods.
Under such talent, the Golden Jiaolongâs qi-blood is profound, making its defense, attack, and speed among the most top-notch existences among spirit beasts of the same rank.
Moreover, once the Golden Jiaolong successfully matures, it can reach Fourth Order level.
Such talented spirit beasts are extremely rare in todayâs Cultivation World.
And currently, the Golden Jiaolong Lin Tianming is seeing is at the Late Stage of the Third Order in grade.
Yet Lin Tianming, from afar, can faintly perceive this Golden Jiaolongâs strength is undoubtedly extremely powerful.
Indeed, this faint perception put quite some pressure on Lin Tianming.
Such a feeling Lin Tianming had only felt on Wang Lusheng before.
From this perspective, the Golden Jiaolongâs strength before him likely reached the limits of a Third Order spirit beast.
From another perspective, the Golden Jiaolong is but a step into the Fourth Order level; once it officially crosses that step, it will definitely be a true Fourth Order spirit beast without a doubt.
On this point, Lin Tianming firmly believes he is not mistaken.
Sure enough, as Lin Tianming was in shock, Zhu Yongâan nearby seemed to realize what Lin Tianming was thinking.
Thus, Zhu Yongâan smiled and began explaining.
According to Zhu Yongâan, this Golden Jiaolong was one of Zhou Tianlongâs spirit beasts, captured by Zhou Tianlong over a millennium ago.
Back then, the Golden Jiaolong was only at the Second Order Initial Stage, with very limited strength.
Even so, the entire process for Zhou Tianlong to subdue this Golden Jiaolong was not easy.
If it werenât for Zhou Tianlongâs cultivation realm being at the Golden Core Stage, ultimately overwhelming the gap between the two, it mightâve been difficult for this Golden Jiaolong to wholeheartedly submit.
Consequently, after the Golden Jiaolongâs submission, Zhou Tianlong provided it with many precious Heaven and Earth Treasures.
Since then, the Golden Jiaolong has continually cultivated, reaching the Late Stage of the Third Order a few hundred years ago.
According to his explanation, now the Golden Jiaolongâs grade is at the limits of a Third Order spirit beast, with extremely formidable strength.
By comparison, among all the Golden Core Stage cultivators in the Yulan Sect, few can compete with this Golden Jiaolong.
After learning these circumstances, Lin Tianming realized the background and history of this Golden Jiaolong.
For this reason, Lin Tianming couldnât help but admire these Nascent Soul Stage cultivators from Qingzhou.
After all, to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage is incredibly difficult.
Just to reach the Nascent Soul Stage, very harsh conditions are required, including at least a certain level of talent.
Additionally, tremendous resources are essential.
In todayâs Cultivation World, even in the center of the flourishing Immortal Path in the Central Three States, higher-level resources are extremely limited, with a low probability of producing Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.
On such a basis, it illustrates the difficulty of cultivating to the Nascent Soul Stage, while showcasing the status and position of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.
Take Zhou Tianlong for instance; as a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator, he is among the top few ground-level powerhouses in Qingzhou.
With such status, not only is he a top Nascent Soul Middle Stage powerhouse, but also a Fourth Order Alchemist, his individual strength already formidable enough.
His spirit beasts are likewise innately exceptional, with strength that stands out among spirit beasts of the same rank.
These aspects further reveal the strength of the Yulan Sect and its profound foundation.
Such reasoning makes sense; the Yulan Sectâs heritage is very old, being among the top few forces in Qingzhou for much of its existence.
Achieving this point shows the Yulan Sect certainly has its strong points.
Acknowledging this, Lin Tianming elevated his view of the Yulan Sect and the Lin Familyâs enemy, the Blood Red Alliance, even further.
Meanwhile, Lin Tianmingâs curiosity about the soon-to-meet Zhou Tianlong heightened.
This curiosity did not endure a long wait.
Immediately after Zhu Yongâan finished explaining the origin of the Golden Jiaolong, he promptly sent out a transmission.
Very soon, a flicker of spiritual light appeared at the entrance of the cave before Lin Tianming.
As Lin Tianming reacted, a white-haired elder appeared not far ahead of him.
The elder had graying temples, with no aura fluctuations, seemingly an ordinary mortal.
However, the elderâs golden Taoist robe appeared energetic, exuding an aura akin to that of a hidden sage dwelling in the mountains.
At this moment, seeing this personâs appearance, Lin Tianming realized this elder must be none other than the Zhou Tianlong he had come to visit.
Indeed, as Lin Tianming was stunned, Zhu Yongâan promptly showed a respectful demeanor, bowing and clasping his fists.
âJunior Zhu Yongâan pays respects to the Great Elder!â
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianming returned to his senses from contemplation.
Immediately, Lin Tianming followed suit, respectfully bowing towards Zhou Tianlong, saying: âJunior Lin Tianming pays respects to Senior Zhou!â
At this moment, Zhou Tianlong did not respond immediately or make any movements, opting instead to fixate his exceptionally sharp gaze on Lin Tianming.
At that moment, Lin Tianming felt the intensity of the gaze, his expression becoming serious.
Simultaneously, with Zhou Tianlongâs gaze lingering on him, Lin Tianming felt as if his body and soul were being targeted by something terrifying.
This feeling was akin to being utterly exposed, with everything laid bare.
In that instant, drops of sweat formed on Lin Tianmingâs forehead.
Soon after, he felt as if a cold breeze was blowing through him inside and out.
This intense reaction made him shiver involuntarily, his whole body quivering a bit.
