Including Qin Xi standing aside, his combat capability also exceeded Lin Tianming's expectations.
From these perspectives, the course of this battle was extremely smooth, and the results were as expected.
As for the results and his attitude towards Qin Xi, Lin Tianming really had nothing to complain about.
For this, Lin Tianming felt satisfied and excited from the bottom of his heart.
After calming down a little, Lin Tianming came to the Mo Jiao and stopped.
Behind him, Qin Xi hurriedly followed his footsteps.
At this time, Lin Tianming looked at the body of the Mo Jiao, and then said to Qin Xi who was standing beside him: "Xi'er, collect the body of the Mo Jiao as soon as possible, and then erase the traces of our battle."
"After we finish this, let's go explore the Black Dragon's lair and see if we can find some natural treasures."
At this point, Lin Tianming chuckled and continued, "After all, it is a powerful fourth-tier monster. To be able to cultivate to this level, it must have something to rely on."
"If that's the case, there should be some good stuff in the Black Dragon's lair!"
Hearing this, Qin Xi nodded slightly, and then began to use the magic sword to skillfully cut the body of the black dragon into pieces and collect the important parts.
Qin Xi did not forget to collect all the scales, including those scattered on the ground.
And these things all come from the bodies of fourth-level monsters. In the current world of immortal cultivation, they are absolutely excellent materials for refining magic weapons. Even if they are wealthy now, they cannot waste them.
After all, there are many Jindan-stage members in the Lin family now. Although magic weapons are not scarce, the Lin family still needs those top-notch magic weapons.
Especially defensive magic weapons, the Lin family is currently in great demand for them.
The black scales of these ink dragons have powerful defensive capabilities in themselves. After being refined into magic weapons, they can exert extremely powerful power.
Therefore, these good things in the eyes of Jindan stage cultivators must not be wasted.
Including the flesh and blood of the Black Dragon, because it has powerful blood and qi energy inside, Lin Tianming's third-level spirit beasts can also swallow it, and then use this energy to improve their strength.
In this way, Lin Tianming and Qin Xi cleaned up the battlefield and did not miss any useful things.
Just like that, after less than half a quarter of an hour of collecting, the huge body of the Black Dragon had been completely collected by them.
Including the scattered trunks, they were all collected and classified.
After doing this, they also began to erase the traces of the war.
After a while, the scene was carefully cleaned and all traces of the battle were erased.
At this moment, if no one had seen the battle with their own eyes, after seeing this scene, they would probably not have imagined that a shocking battle had taken place here.
At this time, Lin Tianming and his wife gathered together again, and both of them fixed their eyes on the center of the pool.
In Qin Xi's eyes, the pool of water had a strange color and was bottomless, so it was impossible to discover any important information.
But from Lin Tianming's perspective, he found that the pool was very deep and the area at the bottom seemed very large, as if there was another world inside.
But when he thought about it carefully, he found it very normal.
After all, the Black Dragon is a fourth-level monster with an extremely large body. The nest where it often sleeps and practices must not be small.
Therefore, since the area of this pool is not small, it is not surprising that the bottom, as the residence of the black dragon, appears to be a different world.
The more this happened, the more Lin Tianming became interested in the Black Dragon's lair, and he had strong expectations of it.
With this expectation, Lin Tianming looked at the calm pool of water and rushed in without hesitation.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Xi behind him quickly followed his footsteps.
Soon, Lin Tianming and his wife slowly dived to the bottom of the pool.
This pool of water was indeed very deep. The water temperature became lower as one went down, and the color became darker and darker. His spiritual consciousness was affected to varying degrees.
Fortunately, Lin Tianming and his wife both have strong spiritual awareness, so they can still clearly detect the basic situation of the surrounding area.
Especially Lin Tianming, who not only has an extremely powerful spiritual sense, but also has the assistance of a powerful weapon like the Five-Colored Eye. The color of the pool has almost no effect on him.
So, after diving for a cup of tea, the couple finally reached the bottom of the pool.
According to Lin Tianming's calculations, the distance from this place to the water surface is at least several thousand feet deep.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the great depth of the pool, coupled with the freezing cold water temperature and the extremely dark color of the water, which has a very obvious weakening effect on the spiritual consciousness of cultivators, that it becomes an ideal hiding place.
Lin Tianming was already very sure about this in his heart, and he believed that this was most likely the Black Dragon's lair.
Only a place like this meets the attributes of the Black Dragon, and it would choose to place its nest here.
In addition, the basic features of this place are also quite prominent.
Logically speaking, once such a place is seen by the monks who have entered the secret realm, they will definitely come down to explore.
However, the environmental factors here are somewhat harsh, and Lin Tianming does not know whether he has been discovered by other cultivators.
Of course, there is also a possibility that someone discovered this place, but due to environmental factors, they could only stop there.
Now, the couple has successfully reached the deepest part of the pool and can finally explore in depth to see what is there.
At this time, following Lin Tianming's line of sight, the bottom of the pool was quite flat, with several holes with large entrances scattered in different locations in a disorderly manner.
As for where these caves lead to, how deep they are, and what is inside, the only way to find out is to enter one and explore.
Seeing this scene, Lin Tianming was not surprised, and his inner expectations became even stronger.
Next, without any hesitation, he quickly chose a cave and headed towards the cave with Qin Xi.
Soon, they entered the cave and found that the caves seemed to be connected to each other.
The space in the caves is not small. Even a body as huge as the Black Dragon can move around in these caves.
There are also a large number of scattered black scales here, some of which are still glowing. They should have fallen off the black dragon's body in recent decades.
In addition, the light emitted by some black scales is not that bright, and the aura seems a little weak.
Judging from these factors, these black scales should be the scales that fall off after the Black Dragon stays and sleeps here for many years. After each advancement, the scales fall off normally due to the increase in strength.
The scales of the Mo Jiao in the third stage are definitely different from those after entering the fourth stage. In addition, with the continuous passage of time, the brilliance of these scales has degraded a little, and the attached aura has basically disappeared, which is why there is such an obvious difference.
It is precisely through the existence of these things that Lin Tianming clearly judged that this place is the lair of the Black Dragon.
Knowing this, Lin Tianming and his wife then conducted a careful investigation and exploration of the cave and the passage.
Soon, they found more than twenty third-level spiritual medicines with water attributes in the first cave they entered.
These third-level spiritual medicines are called "Cold Water Ginseng", which are spiritual medicine materials with water attributes. Their characteristics are the same as those of the Black Dragon.
According to some records in ancient books, there is extremely rich water energy inside the cold water ginseng.
This third-level spiritual medicine is extremely rare in the outside world. Because it contains abundant energy, it usually has a very obvious effect on cultivators and monsters with water-attributed spiritual roots.
The most obvious thing is that this treasure can be taken directly. Whether it is the human race or the demon race, they can use the water attribute energy inside the cold water ginseng to directly practice.
But for human cultivators, the cold water ginseng is nurtured by the special environment of heaven and earth.
Normally, there is no need to refine the cold water ginseng into pills, you can swallow it directly, and use the energy inside this elixir to quickly improve your cultivation.
Including the monster clan, the way they have always devoured the treasures of heaven and earth is extremely simple and crude. They would not refine such treasures, nor do they have the ability to refine these treasures.
As an extremely rare third-level spiritual medicine, although the grade of the cold water ginseng is not even fourth-level, its effect is also very obvious to those fourth-level monsters.
At the very least, as long as the amount swallowed reaches a certain level, even a fourth-level monster can get a very obvious improvement.
On the contrary, if a powerful human in the Nascent Soul stage swallows this thing, as long as the quantity reaches a certain level, he can also obtain extremely obvious benefits.
However, most of the treasures in the world of immortal cultivation that can help cultivators speed up their cultivation cannot do this.
Especially for those cultivators with water-attributed spiritual roots, because they have the same properties as the cold water ginseng, the degree of compatibility will definitely be very high.
If a large amount of cold water ginseng is swallowed, even a powerful being in the Nascent Soul stage will normally be able to obtain more obvious benefits than other cultivators of the same level with other attributes.
Therefore, the cold water ginseng discovered now is tailor-made for Qin Xi.
After all, Qin Xi's affinity for water-attributed spiritual roots is high, and the technique he practices is also water-attributed.
These cold water ginsengs have extremely abundant energy, and swallowing them can speed up Qin Xi's cultivation.
However, Qin Xi has now entered the realm of great perfection of the Golden Core. Before she enters the Nascent Soul stage, there is not much room for improvement in the path of immortality.
However, no matter what, it is always a good thing to be able to improve your cultivation strength.
What's more, the cold water ginseng is not only of great use to the Jindan stage cultivators. Even if she enters the Yuanying stage in the future, she can also use the cold water ginseng to quickly improve her cultivation.
For cultivators with other attributes, taking cold water ginseng also has a great effect.
Just like Lin Tianming, if he had taken cold water ginseng decades ago, it would also help him quickly improve his cultivation level.
However, now, Lin Tianming’s cultivation level has reached the pinnacle of the Jindan stage cultivator, and there is almost no room for improvement.
So, although Lin Tianming was very eager for the effects of the cold water ginseng, he was unable to use it at this time.
But no matter what, since they have encountered the cold water ginseng, the Lin family will not waste such a rare and precious treasure.
You know, there are quite a few Jindan-stage members in the Lin family at this stage, and among them there are also several who major in water attributes.
In this case, in addition to Qin Xi being able to use the cold water ginseng that has been discovered, other Jindan stage clan members can also benefit from it.
Therefore, no one would have too much of this kind of treasure, and it would definitely not be wasted.
Lin Tianming is very clear about this.
Because of this, when he saw the Hanshui ginseng, he was suddenly extremely excited.
Not only him, Qin Xi behind him was also very excited.
She was also very clear about the effects of the cold water ginseng, and understood the value of such a treasure.
It is no exaggeration to say that many fourth-level natural materials and treasures may not be able to compare with the cold water ginseng in terms of single value.
Twenty-six cold water ginsengs had already been found in this first cave, and their accumulated value far exceeded that of an ordinary fourth-tier treasure.
Knowing this well, Lin Tianming and his wife immediately dug out a piece of cold water ginseng from the ground and then examined it carefully.
The cold water ginseng is as long as an adult's arm and of similar thickness. The crystal clear ginseng flesh is exceptionally delicious and exudes a refreshing fragrance at all times.
For this reason, Lin Tianming looked at it carefully, and finally he was absolutely sure that the one in front of him was undoubtedly the Hanshui ginseng.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Tianming hurriedly collected the cold water ginseng.
After doing all this, the couple split up and started collecting all the cold water ginseng they found as soon as possible.
Only after they get it will they feel completely at ease.
And this is just the first cave. There are several caves beyond this that have not been explored.
According to Lin Tianming's idea, since these caves are interconnected and are part of the Black Dragon's lair, they must be frequently active in each other's lair.
As for the Mo Jiao itself, it was able to cultivate to the fourth level, and these cold water ginseng must have played an extremely crucial role.
Otherwise, relying solely on Mo Jiao's normal training, it would be extremely difficult for him to break through the third level, let alone the fourth level.
Lin Tianming has seen many treasures and many monsters over the years, but he is very clear about the importance of these treasures to the growth of monsters.
Therefore, after seeing the cold water ginseng, Lin Tianming was not so surprised about the strength and grade of the black dragon.
There will be cold water ginseng in the first cave, and the number reaches more than 20 pieces, so there may be cold water ginseng growing in other caves.
The reason for this is that the environment here is special. With more than 20 pieces of cold water ginseng appearing, there is hope that more cold water ginseng will grow.
In addition, there is a certain possibility that other types of treasures will appear.
When they thought of this, Lin Tianming and his wife suddenly became more excited about the situations in the other caves.
