Chapter 1485: Chapter 1485: Underground Palace Sixth Layer (Part 2)

Upon hearing Lin Tian discussing the underground Spirit Gathering Town, Wang straightened his spine even more. He spoke with a proud expression: "From what I know, the construction of this lowermost layer of the ancient palace was the most laborious and resource-consuming. Just with Longquan Jade, there are already 108 pieces, and there are 36 beads of Peach Tree Wood, as well as the Golden Cores left by three Golden Core experts after their death as array markers. This is the source of its formidable power."

Lin Tian secretly clicked his tongue upon hearing this. Longquan Jade is an extremely rare material, known for being the best at absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi among jade materials, and its effect after being nurtured is remarkable.

The jade pendant that Shuqing once gave to Liou Qingcheng was already of premium material, but it was several levels inferior to Longquan Jade.

Moreover, Peach Tree Wood is not a graft between peach and locust trees. Anyone with basic Dao School knowledge would know. Locust trees are yin trees, preferred by malevolent spirits and ghost grievances. Whereas Peach Wood made into Peach Wood Sword is a Dharma Artifact for warding off evil, inviting blessings, and repelling evil.

Peach Tree Wood is a rare material. It wards off evil in the daytime, gathers spirits at night, and there are less than twenty pieces in the world. Peach Tree Wood is made into small wooden plaques from the trunk of peach locust trees, and even buried deep underground, they will not corrode, and snakes and insects avoid them.

This might be the reason why the corpse remains uncorrupted.

Moreover, the three Golden Cores are even more rare. Golden Core experts are extremely scarce, and even after their death, it is a family event, for which they receive grand burials, and it is absolutely impossible for Golden Cores to be left outside.

Therefore, these three Golden Cores must have been acquired by means, which shows how much effort the Wang Family put into this matter.

Wang continued: "There are many other materials that make my head spin. I used to think this was just a legend, but I didn’t expect it to be true. However, for unknown reasons, this Spirit Gathering Town is only effective on this sixth layer of the ancient palace, despite only being separated by a pile of stones from the fifth layer. Why is there absolutely no feeling of it?"

Wang Sijing was full of joy, saying: "Seventh Grandpa, such a strong Spirit Gathering Town is enough to increase cultivation speed by two to three times. No wonder our ancestors said that this place would be where our Wang Family rises."

Wang nodded with a smile, agreeing with this statement.

At this moment, a disdainful laugh sounded. Wang quickly turned around, looking at Lin Tian with a bad expression, questioning: "Why does Mr. Lin laugh mockingly? Are you implying this Spirit Gathering Town cannot catch your interest?"

"NO! NO! NO!"

Lin Tian shook his head repeatedly, "This Spirit Gathering Town is constructed so magnificently, it’s incredibly rare in the world, how could it not catch my interest? It’s just that your vision is too narrow."

Wang Sijing has always been dissatisfied with Lin Tian. Why does his cultivation exceed hers at such a young age? Isn’t it just because of various pill aids? Now he claims that she and Seventh Grandpa have a narrow vision, which naturally makes her even more dissatisfied.

She snorted heavily, pretending to be polite, clasped her hands together, and casually said: "I request Mr. Lin’s guidance, I do not believe you can speak out a convincing reason."

Lin Tian chuckled and was not offended. He pointed at the floor tiles, then the walls beside them, and finally the ceiling, and said: "This Spirit Gathering Town absorbs the Spiritual Qi from the core of the earth, nourishing this chamber. Yet, not a single bit of Spiritual Qi will leak out, because within these stones, there are additional arrays preventing the leakage of Spiritual Qi, not even a slight amount."

"If you don’t believe it, you can try to punch the wall with your Inner Strength. I guarantee the wall will not suffer even the slightest damage, because when your fist hits the wall, you will be unable to use even a bit of Inner Strength."

Wang gestured to Wang Sijing with a wave of his hand, indicating clearly for her to give it a try.

Wang Sijing nodded lightly, even if Seventh Grandpa hadn’t signaled, she would have done it anyway. From the arrogance in her heart, she didn’t believe Lin Tian’s deductions could be so accurate just by guessing!

Standing by the wall, Wang Sijing didn’t gather her strength, just swung her fist and struck at the wall!

She didn’t dare to use too much force, worrying about damaging the wall. She only used a bit of Inner Strength, intending to leave a slight mark on the wall, thereby disproving Lin Tian’s claim.

If Inner Strength was truly ineffective, it’s impossible to leave a fist mark purely with physical force.

Bang!

The sound of her fist hitting the wall was deep and faint.

Indeed, everything was as Lin Tian said, when Inner Strength touched the wall, it bounced back into her body, not leaking out at all!

She still didn’t give up, gritted her teeth and struck three more punches, each punch heavier than the last, causing Lin Tian’s facial muscles to twitch.

This woman is really too ruthless on herself!

Ultimately, Wang Sijing looked at her bleeding fist, feeling somewhat disheartened, and said to Wang: "Seventh Grandpa, he was right. There are arrays in the wall, Inner Strength rebounds when it touches."

Wang nodded, seemingly ignoring the injuries on Wang Sijing’s hand. Such superficial wounds are truly negligible for the Ancient Martial the Wang Family.

"Does Mr. Lin have any further guidance? Might as well say it all at once." Wang spoke to Lin Tian. He could tell Lin Tian had only spoken half of what he meant.

Lin Tian chuckled and continued: "Your ancestors said that once the sixth layer of the ancient palace is opened, the Wang Family would soar straight up to the heavens. I don’t know if this is true, but I can assure you, this place is absolutely not suitable for too many people to cultivate, at most two people, and if there are more, the effect is negligible. You also know, to achieve high-level Martial Artist status and condense a Golden Core, what’s needed is individual enlightenment and opportunity."

"In such an enclosed ancient palace, let’s not talk about enlightenment, opportunity is likely insufficient even with this Spirit Gathering Town. So this ’soaring straight up’ definitely doesn’t refer to the Spirit Gathering Town."

Lin Tian spoke eloquently, hands clasped behind his back.

"According to you, what does it point to?" Wang asked patiently.

Lin Tian shrugged, looking like a careless overseer: "You are a senior of the Wang Family, if you don’t know, how would I, an outsider, possibly know? We’ve only just arrived here, there’s still a long way ahead, let’s watch and discover as we go."

This comment almost made Wang’s nose bleed. He was certain this brat knows something, but just won’t reveal it.

If it were a younger member of the family, Wang would have simply forced them to tell, but with Lin Tian, he had no confidence, after all... his strength is greater than Wang’s.

Lin Tian continued to smile, he enjoyed seeing this old man being angry and embarrassed with no solutions.

Wang looked around again, there was nothing to see, and finally could only sigh lightly, saying: "We can only keep going."
