Chapter 862: Buddha Heart Grass (Part 2)
Under his investigation, he discovered that the third storage jade pendant contained a vast amount of various spirit stones.
After a simple tally, he finally got the specific quantity and grade of these spirit stones.
Among them, just the number of low-grade spirit stones alone amounted to more than thirty million pieces.
As for the higher-grade medium-grade spirit stones, there were over twenty thousand pieces, which, if converted to low-grade spirit stones, was a staggering number of more than twenty million.
Combining these two different grades of spirit stones together, the total value was close to sixty million low-grade spirit stones.
Faced with such a huge fortune, Lin Tianming was, as before, somewhat surprised internally.
The reason for this was not because he underestimated the foundational heritage of the Tianqing Sect, nor did he think that the Tianqing Sect lacked such financial resources.
Rather, it was because he was very clear that when the Tianqing Sect gate was broken, the three major forces of the Lin Family had already looted their gate once.
At that time, their three major forces had already obtained quite a few treasures and many spirit stones.
With Chen Jianyi and others fleeing, they took a significant amount of resources with them, among which there must have been spirit stones, the most basic and also the most common cultivation resource.
During these years of hiding, nearly a hundred cultivators from the Tianqing Sect who had escaped were still consuming resources like spirit stones.
So, if the resources Chen Jianyi initially took away weren't a lot, then what could be left behind would certainly be limited.
Looking at it now, it's indeed surprising for Lin Tianming to find such a large sum of spirit stones on Chen Jianyi, which gives him a new appreciation for the foundational heritage of the Tianqing Sect.
After all, the resources Chen Jianyi took away were just a portion of the Tianqing Sect's heritage.
And despite the consumption over these years, he still had so many spirit stone reserves on him, which was truly an unbelievable thing.
But in a way, it's also good because all these treasures ended up benefiting the Lin Family.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming was extremely excited and also secretly grateful for his own wise decisions and good fortune that led him to encounter the remnants of the Tianqing Sect in such a tunnel.
At the same time, after a great battle, he managed to kill Chen Jianyi and others, thereby acquiring such a large fortune, which was undoubtedly an exhilarating outcome.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming's excitement was hard to quell for a long time.
It was unknown how much time passed before Lin Tianming forcibly suppressed his inner excitement and proceeded to store these spirit stones in batches.
According to his plans, besides keeping twenty thousand medium-grade spirit stones for himself, all other spirit stones would be handed over to the family to enhance the foundational heritage of the Lin Family.
After finishing these tasks, Lin Tianming then turned his attention to the final storage jade pendant belonging to Chen Jianyi.
By this time, Lin Tianming had a unique expectation for this storage jade pendant.
Because in his view, the previous three storage jade pendants either contained a large number of spirit stones, cultivation manuals, or first and second-order cultivation resources.
But he had never found any high-value third and fourth-order treasures.
As Chen Jianyi was a Late Stage Golden Core expert, both his cultivation and personal strength were quite substantial.
Additionally, as the actual controller of the Tianqing Sect remnants, his identity and status were self-evident among the remaining members of the Tianqing Sect.
Against this backdrop, it was impossible for him not to have third or fourth-order treasures on him.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming was filled with immense anticipation for the last storage jade pendant of Chen Jianyi.
With these thoughts in mind, after Lin Tianming calmed down a bit, he quickly began the inventory process.
Very soon, the residual divine sense on the storage jade pendant was easily erased.
Soon after, the layout inside the storage jade pendant imprinted in his mind.
In Lin Tianming's investigation, within the space of this storage jade pendant, he indeed discovered hundreds of third-grade treasures, mostly covering common items like spiritual medicine, spirit ores, and spirit materials.
Among them, there were nearly a hundred types of relatively precious third-grade treasures, each of which, if brought to the Cultivation World, could exchange for ten thousand, or even hundreds of thousands, low-grade spirit stones.
In addition, the truly precious ones were those fourth-order treasures, totaling twelve in number. Each one was exceedingly rare and undoubtedly invaluable.
Beyond this, Lin Tianming also found two high-quality spirit stones and a specially made token.
For this reason, Lin Tianming was stunned for quite a while after seeing these things.
In reality, it wasn't that he wasn't calm, but rather that the items in this storage jade pendant were not ordinary, and each had a very high individual value.
The value of high-quality spirit stones need not be overly elaborated, as the appearance of each could nearly incite a Nascent Soul Stage expert to take action.
Besides these treasures, of the twelve fourth-order treasures, Lin Tianming had previously obtained five through various means.
So, upon seeing these previously acquired fourth-order treasures, Lin Tianming remained relatively calm.
However, among the remaining seven fourth-order treasures, three were extremely valuable and rare, with an indeterminate singular value.
Because of these few fourth-order treasures, Lin Tianming paid them considerable attention.
Among these three precious fourth-order treasures, there were two precious spiritual medicine materials, one of which was known as Buddha Heart Grass.
Regarding this item, Lin Tianming had encountered descriptions and functions of the Buddha Heart Grass in various manuals.
According to records, Buddha Heart Grass is one of the main ingredients in making Buddha Heart Pill, which is extremely valuable.
At least in the current Cultivation World, it had not been rumored for several hundred years that Buddha Heart Grass had appeared.
The function of the Buddha Heart Pill was something all Golden Core Great Completion cultivators dreamed of.
This was also because the function of the Buddha Heart Pill was said to be quite remarkable.
According to various records, the Buddha Heart Pill is an ancient elixir of fourth-level standards.
As for the effect of this elixir, it can help Golden Core Great Completion cultivators suppress and dissolve the impact of heart demons when attacking the Nascent Soul Stage, thereby allowing those in secluded cultivation to have a clear and thoroughly connected mind.
In the current cultivation system, any Golden Core Stage cultivator faces the Sixfold Thunder Tribulation besides dealing with a heart demon baptism before condensing their Nascent Soul.
This heart demon power is quite mysterious when discussed.
Because during the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage, the heart demon a cultivator faces comes in various forms.
Among them, some people's heart demons are the bonds of kin, possibly betrayal by relatives, or perhaps the mind state impact from an unrelated, even irrelevant, cultivator.
Beyond this, there are also many grievances from the heart.
In short, every individual, whether an ordinary mortal or a cultivator, has seven emotions and six desires, as well as different obsessions dwelling in their heart.
These intangible matters would suddenly appear in the mind during a cultivator's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage, manifesting in various manners to undermine the cultivator's heart for seeking the Dao and beliefs.
In this way, heart demons acting up when the host attacks the Nascent Soul Stage can also be called a self-transition of the mind state.
In this situation, if the person attacking the Nascent Soul Stage couldn't awaken from their self-world,
then it's certain that the host couldn't gather a Nascent Soul with spiritual and intelligent consciousness, let alone summon the force of the Sixfold Thunder Tribulation.
Without these inherent conditions, a cultivator naturally cannot advance to the Nascent Soul Stage.
In this way, the invisible and traceless heart demon becomes a tremendous obstacle when a cultivator breaks through to the Nascent Soul Stage.
From ancient times to the present, who knows how many exceptionally talented individuals have perished under the impact of a heart demon, ultimately falling into the fate of death and the end of the Dao.
