Chapter 1142: Chapter 597: Huge Harvest

Having finally suppressed the excitement in his heart, Lin Tianming separately collected the “Thousand Array Codex” and other legacy treasures related to the Way of Formation Setting into the Qiankun Jade.

Following that, Lin Tianming continued to attentively inventory the storage bag.

Half a Shi Chen (about two hours) later, Lin Tianming finally completed inventorying Liu Nantian’s storage bag, memorizing the quantity and variety of all its high-value treasures in his mind.

Faced with these rich spoils of war, Lin Tianming was genuinely shaken at heart, and even more so, he couldn’t suppress his excitement.

Based on his initial classification and tally, just the cumulative value of the Mid-Low Grade Spirit Stones was roughly equivalent to tens of millions of Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

As for treasures related to the Four Arts of Cultivation, and some legacy treasures, their value was also immeasurable.

Especially the legacy of formation setting, merely the “Thousand Array Codex” alone, which reflects the insights of a Fourth Order Array Master, included not only the original author’s experiences and perspectives but also the basic Formation foundation commonly seen in the Cultivation World, encompassing techniques of Formation layout, the Refining process of array instruments, and even the perfection and maintenance of the Formation.

It could be said that the “Thousand Array Codex” is a complete inheritance of the Formation Dao.

And it must have been this very item that was key for Liu Nantian to step into the realm of a Third Order Formation Master in just over three hundred years.

Thus, the value of only the “Thousand Array Codex” is indeed incalculable.

In addition, the vast amount of Array Plates and Array Flags left by Liu Nantian, as well as some instruments needed for setting up Arrays, were also quite valuable.

After all, encountering a complete Second-Order Formation is very rare in the Cultivation World.

Under normal circumstances, only at some medium to large auction events might they appear, and after intense bidding, a standard Second-Order Formation could sell for anywhere from a few tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and often there is demand but no supply.

Furthermore, in most cases, even if a Foundation Establishing Family wanted to purchase a Second-Order Formation, it would be difficult to acquire.

Even if acquired, without their own Array Master to set it up, they would have to seek external help.

If lucky, the hired Array Master is reliable, which is a good case.

But if unlucky, it’s easy to leave some loopholes in the Array Master’s hands, creating a long-term hidden risk for the family.

Speaking of which, the Lin Family used the Defensive Great Formation left by an ancestor for several decades in the past.

At that time, the Lin Family’s Mountain Protection Array was quite renowned among the five major Foundation Establishing Families in the Luoyun Mountain Range.

Moreover, it was precisely by relying on this ancestral Defensive Great Formation that the Lin Family managed to survive a crisis that could have wiped out the family during internal strife among the clans in the Luoyun Mountain Range.

Considering this, we can see how important and valuable an Array can be for a power; to say it is the foundation of an inheritance is not an overstatement.

Among the treasures of Formation Dao left by Liu Nantian, there were two complete sets of Third-Order Array Plates and Array Flags, one of which was the entrapment Formation used to ambush him and Qin Xi.

In addition, another set of Third-Order Formation tools was an ordinary Defensive Great Formation, which had the basic capability for Attack and Defense, including the additional effect of spirit gathering, extremely comprehensive, enough to serve as the Mountain Protection Array for Golden Elixir Forces.

This set of Formation tools, as with the Defensive Great Formation acquired from the downfall of the Golden Sword Sect by the Lin Family, would not achieve optimal defensive effects without a personal setup by their own Third Order Array Master.

But upon further thought, this circumstance was inevitable.

After all, cultivating a Third Order Array Master is difficult, and their numbers are even less than Third Order Alchemy Masters.

Take, for instance, the current state of Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World; only Myriad Medicine Valley boasts a Third Order Array Master, and he hasn’t appeared publicly for many years, so it’s unknown what his current cultivation and achievements in Formation Dao are.

From these circumstances, it’s clear that the Formation Dao legacy left by Liu Nantian is indeed an enormous wealth.

And these were merely one part of the many treasures left by Liu Nantian.

In addition to these, Liu Nantian’s Offensive and Defensive Magical Treasures were all intact, among which the disk-like Magic Artifact he used was of very good quality and spirituality, at least much stronger than those commonly used by Golden Core Cultivators.

Just these few Magical Treasures amounted to a considerable fortune.

But what excited Lin Tianming even more was the Yellow Grade Spirit Technique used by the three of Liu Nantian’s men, the Golden Seal.

Upon his careful search, Lin Tianming indeed found the Jade Slip of this Spirit Art in the storage bag.

Thus, Lin Tianming briefly reviewed it and, just as he had guessed, this Spirit Art was a Yellow Grade Spirit Technique called the “Golden Mountain Seal,” which has outstanding attacking power among the myriad Yellow Grade Spirit Techniques.

The power of this Spirit Art was indeed witnessed by Lin Tianming with his own eyes.

At that time, Liu Nantian activated it, causing the Yuan Qi on the entire battlefield to surge wildly, creating earth-shattering might.

With this Spirit Art, if it were a typical Mid Stage Golden Core Cultivator, resisting it would not be easy.

Even if successfully resisted, the consequences would be severe injury at the least and, in serious cases, a high chance of dying on the spot.

Regarding this Spirit Art, even Lin Tianming had to admit its power was truly strong, ranking near the top among the many Spirit Techniques he had seen.

If one must compare it to another Spirit Art, perhaps only the “Five Elements Spiritual Technique” obtained from Yang Chengfeng could compete.
