Chapter 148: Chapter 148: The Spiritual Crocodile Business Opportunity
Lin Shiyun took out the array flags and began setting up the formation at the narrow entrance to the crocodile pool.
The formation was crafted from supreme grade array flags by Lin Houshou, which made it extremely convenient to set up. Lin Shiyu's talent in array formations was not weak, so when he started setting it up, the formation was quickly in place.
Once the formation was complete, Lin Shiyi also nodded in approval. Suddenly, he pulled out an iron rod and smashed it down on a black-skinned giant crocodile at the outermost edge of the crocodile pool.
The Spirit Crocodile, thinking it was prey coming to drink water, prepared to stay motionless, unaware that Lin Shiyi was coming for the crocodiles.
The Spirit Crocodile had only managed to open its huge jaw, but Lin Shiyi had already struck with his rod, instantly causing a cracking sound of breaking bones. A second rank intermediate grade Demonic Crocodile was directly smashed to death.
Almost simultaneously with this strike, countless thick water arrows shot out, followed by five or six huge crocodiles with a strong scent leaping out of the water, biting towards Lin Shiyi.
Among them were two second rank late-stage Demonic Crocodiles and one second rank peak Demonic Crocodile.
Luckily, Lin Shiyi had taken out a Godspeed Talisman in advance. With a slap of the talisman, his already terrifying speed increased even more, quickly retreating towards the edge of the pool.
As expected, only the few Demonic Crocodiles that had leaped forward chased quickly and rushed into the formation.
Clearly, the three second rank peak Demonic Crocodiles each dominated one of the three corners of the crocodile pool, forming three separate groups.
Almost at the same time as the crocodiles entered the formation, a Thousand Layer Mountain swiftly flew out, transformed into a huge mountain, and smashed down on that second rank peak Demonic Crocodile.
Along with the cover of the formation, the Five Elements Tower rushed out, and Five Elements Spells bombarded several Spirit Crocodiles
Various spirit light spells were cast like a blanket from the sky; even the crocodiles, with their thick hides and flesh, couldn't fully withstand it.
The second rank peak Demonic Crocodile King obviously panicked, trying to withstand the Thousand Layer Mountain, but unbeknownst to it, two snow-white silver threads pierced through, instantly perforating the Demonic Crocodile King's skull.
It was the Profound Soul Needle!
The three of them then used a large number of Flying Swords to slay all the remaining Spirit Crocodiles.
"The Family Head's magic artifacts are truly terrifying!" After using them, the three exchanged glances, then felt somewhat emotional.
If they hadn't had those three supreme grade magic artifacts, it would have taken them a lot more effort to kill the Spirit Crocodiles.
"Let's continue luring them out. The Secret Realm still has plenty of good things, and our family is only taking a fifty percent cut this time," Lin Houxuan continued.
The other two nodded again and again, confident that with these three magic artifacts in hand, their harvest would not be much less than the family's senior members with the surname Yu.
Especially Lin Houxuan, he was hopeful that the gains from this trip, combined with the harvest from his Alchemy Hall, would accumulate to a hundred thousand contribution points and allow him to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill.
"Uncle Fifteen, what if we raise these crocodiles in Qinglian Lake? Would the family's needs for Spirit Armor be covered?" Lin Shiyun suddenly spoke, pinching the corpse of a Spirit Crocodile.
Lin Shiyi and Lin Houxuan also squatted down and stroked the crocodile's hide.
They felt an incredibly smooth sensation, but they knew that during the attack, if it were not for the formation and those three supreme grade magic artifacts, they wouldn't have even been able to penetrate the defense, which indicated the thickness of the Spirit Armor.
"We can, capture a few alive and take them out to ask Uncle Four! The family has been raising Red Spirit Fish, so now with Foundation Establishment Cultivators, raising Spirit Crocodiles shouldn't be a problem, especially since the Spirit Crocodiles are also highly dependent on water," Lin Houxuan's eyes also lit up with the idea.
They then continued to lure out Spirit Crocodiles, but only killed the second rank late-stage and second rank peak ones, while the second rank intermediate Spirit Crocodiles were captured alive by Lin Houxuan and the other two, totaling six.
Once the Spirit Crocodiles were slain, the trio began to collect Blood Crocodile Flowers and Seduction Flowers.
Lin Houxuan was particularly careful in collecting the Seduction Flowers, aware of their importance to Lin Shiming and knowing about the existence of the Seduction Demon Pill.
After collecting the ripe Spiritual Medicines, they also collected some young seedlings of the medicines.
They didn't harvest everything, at the same time, they released two Spirit Crocodiles back into the crocodile pool.
This was not because they were merciful, but because the family would return in ten years, and they did not want the secret realm to have become a dead one by then.
...
At this moment, aside from Crocodile Pond, many areas within the secret realm were still busy slaughtering demonic beasts, gathering spiritual medicine and spirit fruits.
...
At Nameless Mountain, Lin Yuqing's eyes burned with fervor as he stowed away the hide of a second-rank peak demonic beast, and then plucked an Essence Fruit, the main ingredient needed for refining Essence Pills, from a third-rank spiritual medicine.
The age of the spiritual medicine was considerable, worth tens of thousands of spirit stones if it were placed on the market.
And in this place, Lin Yuqing had already harvested quite a number of third-rank spirit fruits.

Accompanying Lin Yuqing was a Qi Cultivation eighth layer cultivator from the younger "Hou" generation!
"Uncle, your strength is becoming more and more formidable. You can even effortlessly slaughter second-rank peak demonic beasts!"
"This is merely due to prior knowledge of the demonic beast's weakness; there's nothing to boast about. The current 'Shi' and 'Hou' generations are the ones truly brimming with talents!"
Lin Yuqing responded cheerfully. With Lin Shilei's arrival, he had achieved a state of inner fulfillment, and his strength had inadvertently improved by another notch.
It was just a pity that he was already over sixty and could not contest for Foundation Establishment.
But to have been born at a time when the Lin Family was in decline and to depart during its time of glory was also a fortunate matter.
...
Throughout the secret realm, there were traces of Lin Family teams everywhere. Thanks to Lei Xuan's map, the Lin Family had intimate knowledge of the various demonic beasts.
Only a few suddenly mutated demonic beasts caused trouble for the Lin Family.
Lin Houshou, as a second-rank peak Array Master, reaped huge rewards, harvesting no less than ten third-rank spiritual medicines, and plenty of supreme grade second-rank spiritual medicines.
Three days blinked by, and Lin Xianzhi outside, as promised, opened the formation.
A group of people, faces full of joy.
Thirteen people went in, and twelve came out. Lin Xianzhi and Lin Shiming also let out sighs of relief at the same time.
To them, casualties were entirely unavoidable.
And judging by everyone's expressions, although there was some sorrow, the joy on their faces could not be completely hidden.
"Let's set out, return to Fangmu Mountain and discuss further. Everyone present must swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao to not divulge any news of the secret realm!"
Lin Xianzhi took out a superior grade third-rank Spirit Boat, set sail immediately, and flew towards Fangmu Mountain.
Seeing that Lin Xianzhi did not initiate a conversation, nobody else brought up the topic either. Instead, they seized the time on the Spirit Boat to practice and recuperate their spiritual energy. This time, only Lin Houyuan and Lin Shijie were left in the Lin Family Fangmu Mountain territory.
There were only a few Qi Cultivation late stage cultivators stationed there, and everyone was somewhat concerned about Fangmu Mountain.
And Lin Shiming, through the accounts of Lin Shitao and Lin Houxuan, learned about the existence of the wooden demon and the Seduction Demon Grass.
For him, this was undoubtedly fantastic news; his Spirit Ants could finally be bred through mutual consumption.
Moreover, with the heart of a wooden demon, Lin Shiming was thinking about nurturing a wooden demon to the third rank and then refining a Green Lotus Heart.
The Heavenly Wood Spirit Cultivation Secret Technique allowed for the simultaneous existence of two Green Lotus Hearts at most. While Mingxin Tea was of the shrub variety, the existence of a wooden demon was different altogether.
