Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

The Alchemy Pavilion of the Lin Family was established in a cave on the back hillside of Fangmu Mountain. In the early years, the esteemed Purple Mansion Hermit captured some earth fire within Fangmu Mountain, forming both the Alchemy Pavilion and the Artifact Refining Pavilion.

At its peak, there were even Third Rank Alchemists and Artifact Refiners who practiced their crafts here together.

Cultivators in the Qi Refinement Realm, lacking a Foundation Establishment Spirit Platform, could not release true fire, and ordinary flames were unable to produce the necessary temperature.

It was only through the use of Formations to trap earth fire that they could engage in alchemy and artifact refining.

Lin Shiming walked from the cave into the underground great hall.

The decorations within the great hall were all carved with numerous fireproof Formations and protective Formations.

"Shiming, you've arrived," said the Second Elder, Lin Yuqi, who had already received Lin Shiming's Transmission Talisman. He had not been cultivating elixirs but was inside the great hall, teaching several alchemy apprentices.

His expression wasn't very good, however, as it was apparent that the intelligence of these apprentices from the Shi generation wasn't particularly high.

"Shiming pays respect to Second Grandpa!" Lin Shiming quickly greeted him. Lin Shiming had a lot of respect for this Second Grandpa.

After all, it was he who, along with a handful of Alchemists, not only maintained the supply of Elixirs in demand by the family, but also supported the sale of Elixirs in Xing County Square Market and the trade caravans, and now was even supporting Qingyun Square Market.

"You all continue to familiarize yourselves with Spiritual Medicine. Tomorrow at noon, I will come to test you again!" Lin Yuqi waved his hand, dismissing the apprentices.

The apprentices felt relieved and quickly nodded in acknowledgment before leaving.

"What kind of Spirit Pill are you planning to refine?" With the apprentices having left, Lin Yuqi became interested. In Shiming's Transmission Talisman, he had mentioned a new alchemy recipe.

Without hesitation, Lin Shiming took out the recipe for the Beast Nurturing Pill from his Storage Bag and handed it over to Lin Yuqi.

Lin Yuqi took the Jade Slip, and his Divine Sense sank into it. Moments later, his face became serious.

With a hand seal, Spirit Light suddenly flashed around them, and a soundproof Spirit Formation was activated.

"How did you come by this! Does Uncle Seven know about it?" Lin Yuqi stared at Lin Shiming, his gaze seemingly filled with anger.

Lin Shiming was somewhat puzzled but still recounted the day's events in detail, which calmed Lin Yuqi's anxious heart.

"Shiming, Second Grandpa is getting old and can't withstand shocks anymore. Remember to be cautious in your future endeavors; for Cultivators, caution can never be overemphasized!" Lin Yuqi said with some emotion.

In an instant, Lin Shiming suddenly felt that the old man before him seemed to have aged and started to admit defeat.

Although he was a Cultivator, intense alchemy was far more exhausting than cultivation itself.

Then he thought of the legend that this Second Grandpa had once had the opportunity to achieve Foundation Establishment. Why he chose alchemy instead was something Lin Shiming did not understand.

"This alchemy process should be fine. Except for the main ingredient, the Three Petals Flower is difficult to find, the other Spiritual Medicines are rather common," Lin Yuqi started explaining the recipe.

The recipe for the Beast Nurturing Pill was just an Intermediate Grade Spirit Pill of the Second Rank; for Lin Yuqi, a Superior Grade Second Rank Alchemist, it posed no problem at all.

"Please advise, where can I purchase the Three Petals Flower?" Lin Shiming asked.

"No need to purchase, the family's trade caravan has acquired some, but the Spirit Stones will be deducted from your salary. If it's not enough, we'll deduct for two years, three years, whatever is necessary, since your salary is still higher than that of us old men!"

"Alright, then many thanks to Second Grandpa!" Lin Shiming's heart leaped with joy as he quickly extended his thanks.

"Come and collect the Elixir in three days!" After saying that, Lin Yuqi began preparing for alchemy; Lin Shiming bid farewell and left.

Regarding Alchemy, Lin Shiming had also thought about learning it himself, but considering that in three years, he feared he might not even reach the Qi Cultivation seventh layer, he gave up the idea of engaging in Alchemy and Spirit Plants and focused solely on cultivation.

Three days later, Lin Shiming collected ten bottles of elixirs on time from Lin Yuqi.

There were a total of one hundred and twenty Beast Nurturing Pills. Since the prescription was given to the Second Elder, which offset the material cost of 2000 Spirit Stones, Lin Shiming only spent 300 Spirit Stones. As for the fee for Alchemy, Lin Yuqi was generous enough not to charge Lin Shiming.

One should know that once such Beast Nurturing Pills appeared on the market, one pill would cost at least eighty Spirit Stones, and they would be in high demand with scarcely any available for sale. If the Lin Family could sell these Beast Nurturing Pills, it would definitely bring extra profit to the clan.

Of course, that was just a thought; as soon as the Lin Family sold such pills, not even the Qingxuan Sect could protect them. The Spirit Beast Sect's Golden Core True Persons were far more numerous than those of the Qingxuan Sect, not to mention the many Golden Core Demonic Beasts.

That would truly be seeking one's own death.

After leaving the Alchemy Pavilion, Lin Shiming returned to his room and released the Red-haired Demon Monkey and the Golden Winged Mantis.

As soon as the two beasts were released, they sat upright with an understanding, gesturing with their paws and revealing looks of confusion in their eyes.

They seemed puzzled as to why today's mealtime was earlier than usual.

At this moment, the Red-haired Demon Monkey truly accepted Lin Shiming as its master. With the Spirit Contract, Lin Shiming found that the intelligence of the Red-haired Demon Monkey was quite a bit higher than that of the Golden Winged Mantis.

Lin Shiming took out the pill bottle of Beast Nurturing Pills and placed one in front of each beast's mouth.

Surprisingly, both beasts devoured the Beast Nurturing Pills like they were exquisite delicacies.

They then squeaked and hooted for Spirit Water and Spirit Food.

It seemed that after swallowing the Beast Nurturing Pills, there were no noticeable changes; however, what followed was beyond Lin Shiming's expectations.

The two beasts' appetites increased three to four times, and their absorption of Spirit Water became even more intense.

After eating their fill, the two beasts climbed onto Lin Shiming's shoulders, one on the left and one on the right, their bodies shining with Spirit Light and radiating heat.

It appeared they were ready to have a satisfying deep sleep on Lin Shiming's shoulders.

But with the current sizes of the Demon Monkey and the Golden Winged Mantis, Lin Shiming couldn't let them sleep on his shoulders. He picked up one in each hand and put them both into the Spirit Beast Bag.

Lin Shiming now roughly understood the function of the Beast Nurturing Pill; it increased the Spirit Beasts' absorption of Spiritual Energy to accelerate their growth.

With a full one hundred and twenty Beast Nurturing Pills in his possession, Lin Shiming couldn't help but ponder what the two beasts would eventually grow into.

Lin Shiming shook his head, putting aside other thoughts, and went to the Treasure Pavilion, ready to exchange enough Spirit Pills and return to Qingtao Mountain for cultivation.

The walk from the Pill Pavilion to the Treasure Pavilion wasn't far, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Lin Shiming could see the Treasure Pavilion in the distance.

Since the annual meeting had just taken place, and more Spirit Stones were distributed, there were more clan members here to exchange for treasures.

"Little Seven!" A hearty voice called out, and upon closer inspection, Lin Shiming saw that it was his second brother, Lin Shiyi.

"Little Seven, Big Brother is too powerful, and there's not much difference between you and me. Plus, you are a registered disciple of the Purple Mansion Hermit. How about we spar with each other?"

Lin Shiming initially wanted to decline, but seeing the eager look in Lin Shiyi's eyes, he nodded in agreement.

Towards his honest and straightforward second brother, who was a Body Cultivator, Lin Shiming had a rather good impression.
