Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

After grasping the key points, Lin Shiming couldn't help but marvel at the wisdom and courage of the old clan leader.

Back then, he even dared to expand from three shops straight to ten.

And he actually bluffed them successfully.

Of course, had he honestly just asked for three shops, the cunning fellows in the Huang Family might not have believed it at all.

Lin Shiming also thought about Huang Kaili's words, claiming that the old clan leader had been declining over the past thirty years, which was probably just a bluff.

For the upper echelons of the Lin Family, they naturally knew that from the time Lin Xianzhi got his hands on Monkey Wine to now, it had only been a little over half a month.

But the Huang Family was unaware of this.

Dealing with these old foxes, one really had to be careful in every respect.

Lin Shiming couldn't help but reflect on this in his heart.

"You have the Snake Vine Flower seeds with you, right? Can you activate them?" Lin Xianzhi spoke again, clearly the others in the Lin Family didn't know the origin of the Snake Vine Flowers, but the old clan leader did.

"Yes! Since Shiming has practiced the Wood Vine Technique and cultivated the Qing Mu Art, seeing that these seeds resembled Wood Vine seeds, he decided to give them a try. Unexpectedly, they proved to be so powerful." Lin Shiming nodded and replied, not daring to conceal anything from the old clan leader.

What he didn't understand was, knowing this, why the old clan leader didn't pass on the information.

These seeds were equivalent to Supreme Grade magic artifacts.

He didn't believe that others in the family, knowing the powerful effect of the Snake Vine Flowers, would not cultivate the Qing Mu Art.

One must know that if an Elder at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Level had the assistance of ten Snake Vine Flowers, he could easily take on three of his peers without issue.

"Is that so?" Lin Xianzhi was evidently somewhat excited, then he had Lin Shiming demonstrate it.

After feeling the completed infusion of Spiritual Energy from Lin Shiming, Lin Xianzhi spoke again:

"In that case, prepare for a few days. In a few days time, accompany me to visit Qingxuan Sect and meet my master, Zi Xuan Hermit!" After saying this, Lin Xianzhi didn't give Lin Shiming the opportunity to think it over, simply waving his hand to send him down to prepare.

Touching his nose, Lin Shiming felt somewhat puzzled.

But he naturally wouldn't dare to refuse or criticize an order from the Lin Family's old clan leader.

He went down to prepare earnestly.

At the clearing in Peach Blossom Valley, there were already more than twenty small wooden houses. After Lin Shiming requested one for cultivation, he moved in.

The wooden house was quite simple. For a cultivator, furniture wasn't really necessary.

A stone bed and a stone table were enough as long as one could cultivate in peace.

Cultivators are most adverse to impatience; often those who can endure hardship can achieve great success.

As for food, from the Qi Cultivation Stage, cultivators begin fasting, consuming Fasting Pills and cultivating their Qi.

Once in the wooden house, Lin Shiming finally had the time to take out a finely crafted Storage Bag and start inspecting it.

This Storage Bag belonged to a late-stage cultivator from the Huang Family. As for his name, Lin Shiming did not know, nor did he need to.

He was but a late-stage Qi Cultivating clan descendant.

Since the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Huang Family had fled in embarrassment, he wasn't afraid; at most, he'd just be cautious when going out.

Three Spirit Swords were taken out by Lin Shiming. The Superior Grade Spirit Sword was alright, but the two Intermediate Grade ones had lost a lot of Spiritual Energy, and probably needed an Artifact Refining Master to reforge and restore their Spirit Patterns.

Even so, these Second Rank Intermediate Grade Spirit Swords could still fetch a few dozen Spirit Stones each. Of course, reforging would definitely increase their value. There was no need to mention a Second Rank Superior Grade Spirit Sword; it could easily go for seven or eight hundred Spirit Stones.

Apart from the three Spirit Swords, the Storage Bag of the yellow-robed cultivator also contained more than three hundred Spirit Stones and a dozen or so Spirit Talismans. However, they were only Second Rank Intermediate Grade Spirit Talismans, and thus not particularly valuable to Lin Shiming.

Such an arrogant late-stage cultivator, yet he had only so much wealth with him.

Lin Shiming shook his head and disdainfully belittled the man in his heart.

He then stored all the Spiritual Objects back into the Storage Bag, categorizing everything accordingly.

Lin Shiming also felt movement from the Spirit Beast Bag, clearly, the two big masters were hungry again.

Releasing the Golden Winged Mantis and the Red-haired Demon Monkey from the Spirit Beast Bag, both beasts gazed at Lin Shiming with anticipation.

After spending dozens of days together, the two beasts had become much more familiar with each other and no longer clashed as before.

On the contrary, they had cultivated a tacit understanding, one on the left, one on the right.

With a squeak and a roar, they demanded Spirit Water, Spiritual Wine, and Spirit Food from Lin Shiming.

Lin Shiming, following the usual practice, gave each beast a pat on the head.

The two beasts deftly dodged, then opened their eyes wide.

"Squeak!"

"Roar!"

In a fashion that suggested no treats, no pats, Lin Shiming found this very amusing.

After feeding the Spirit Beasts, Lin Shiming began his daily cultivation. As a Third Spirit Root cultivator, persistent cultivation was his greatest enlightenment.

Water droplets accumulated over time; only with daily practice could one hope to shatter the mirror one day.

A day later, the Lin Family finally finished collecting all the resources in Peach Blossom Valley, excavating a large amount of soil used for cultivating spirit peaches.

This would enhance the survival rate of the transplanted trees and ensure the peaches had enough nutrients to mature.

The members of the Lin Family gathered in front of the cave entrance, where Lin Xianzhi, with white hair and a green robe, rose into the air, holding an unidentifiable Spirit Plate in his hand.

He was preparing to transplant a Spirit Vein!

Lin Xianzhi, being a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator with a lifespan of two hundred fifty years, naturally had a secondary profession—a Third Rank Spirit-Seeking Master.

Lin Houyong observed very closely. As an Intermediate Grade Second Rank Spirit-Seeking Master, watching a Third Rank Spirit-Seeking Master transplant a Second Rank, Intermediate Grade Spirit Vein with a Spirit Pool was an incredible opportunity.

As Lin Xianzhi's hands performed increasingly complex Spirit Arts, the Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Plate, rich to the extreme, seemed to awaken.

It manifested into streams of Dragon-Shaped Spiritual Energy.

In the void, Lin Shiming even thought he heard the sound of dragon's chants.

"Collect!" Lin Xianzhi uttered lightly as he cast the final Spirit Art, and instantly the Dragon-Shaped Spiritual Energy rushed towards the cave.

In a blink, the nearby Spiritual Energy began to climb steadily.

And then, at some point, the Spiritual Energy started to slowly fade away.

Immediately after, Lin Shiming and the others saw the Dragon-Shaped Spiritual Energy ferociously emerge from the ground, holding a dazzling ball of light filled with Spiritual Energy, and above the ball,

Dragon-Shaped Spiritual Energy swirled as well, with a miniature Spirit Pool contained beneath it.

In the end, it all entered the Spirit Plate in Lin Xianzhi's hand.

Lin Xianzhi skillfully manipulated the gestures and secured the Spirit Plate, exhaling a breath of stale air.

At this point, the Spirit Vein had been successfully extracted into the Spirit-Seeking Plate.

They just needed to return to Fangmu Mountain and insert it into Fangmu Mountain's Spirit Vein, apply the Secret Technique, and they could enhance the Spirit Vein of Fangmu Mountain.

As the Spirit Vein withdrew, Lin Shiming could distinctly feel the surrounding Spiritual Energy weakening continuously.

Looking around, the entire Peach Blossom Valley had been completely transformed, riddled with pits and hollows. A few ordinary peach trees that survived the upheaval now appeared withered and yellow, some even accidentally damaged.

The beautiful scenery from half a month ago was no longer the same.

Lin Shiming felt a tinge of regret in his heart.

But he firmly believed that in the future, on Fangmu Mountain, the peach blossoms would bloom even more brilliantly and beautifully!

Next year's spring breeze would turn Fangmu Mountain pink as well, with bees buzzing and butterflies fluttering!

The journey back to Fangmu Mountain from Peach Blossom Valley was on the family's Third Rank Spirit Boat. Within five or six hours, they had reached Fangmu Mountain.

On Fangmu Mountain, the Lin Family inserted the transplanted Spirit Vein into the Third-Rank Spirit Vein, and it was visible to the naked eye that the entire Fangmu Mountain's Spiritual Energy rose significantly.

However, there was still a considerable gap from becoming a Superior Grade Third-Rank Spirit Vein.

This left many Elders in the family feeling the achievement was slightly lacking.

Two days later, Lin Shiming finally received a message from Lin Xianzhi.

He was to set off for Qingxuan Mountain immediately to pay respects to Lin Xianzhi's master, Zi Xuan Hermit.
