Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

18: Guess what I foundInside the hall on the Cliff Wall, Lin Shiming released the Golden Winged Mantis.

As soon as the small mantis came out, Lin Shiming used his body to block the Green Lotus Spiritual Pond, preventing the small mantis from harming it.

However, he was clearly mistaken. The Golden Winged Mantis fluttered its wings slightly, floated up, and flew towards a stone wall that Lin Shiming hadn’t noticed.

”Oh!” Lin Shiming watched in amazement as the Golden Winged Mantis crashed into the stone wall, creating a dent. It was clearly a small stone door, or perhaps a hidden compartment in the form of a stone window.

Strangely, when Lin Shiming’s Divine Sense swept over this hidden stone door, it seemed to be blocked by something, disappearing without a trace and providing no feedback.

If it weren’t for the Golden Winged Mantis, he really wouldn’t have discovered the hidden compartment.

As the hidden compartment opened, a rich aroma of monkey wine immediately wafted out, making Lin Shiming feel greatly invigorated.

His cultivation at the fifth level of Qi Condensation within his body even began to stir, eager to move.

This was a subtle sign of an impending Breakthrough!

Lin Shiming was a little stunned, then he suddenly realized.

This must be where the Red-haired Demon Monkey brewed its monkey wine, and it must be monkey wine of High Grade or above.

He just didn’t know how the Red-haired Demon Monkey discovered this hidden compartment.

While Lin Shiming hesitated, the Golden Winged Mantis had already rushed in and started eating. However, after eating about two or three catties, the Golden Winged Mantis flew out, shimmering with golden light and swaying, then landed on Lin Shiming’s shoulder.

After a long squeak, it lay down and slept, and no matter how Lin Shiming called, it wouldn’t wake up.

Lin Shiming had no choice but to put it into his spirit beast pouch, walk to the stone wall space, and look inside.

Inside, he saw a bowl-shaped stone plate, surrounded by the Spiritual Plants Lin Shiming had just collected. And inside the stone plate, there were still about ten catties of red spirit wine.

The spirit wine was clear and bright, making it very appetizing at first glance, and its aroma permeated the air, causing Lin Shiming to swallow hard.

At the bottom of the spirit wine, there were also several spiritual fruit residues soaking in it.

The closer he got to the spirit wine, the richer its aroma became, and the Spiritual Qi was astonishingly dense.

Taking a deep breath, he felt as if his entire cultivation had made a slight improvement.

”Peak Grade monkey wine!” Lin Shiming thought with certainty.

He then took out a spirit bottle and collected all the spirit wine into it, even the spiritual fruit residues.

After collecting the spirit wine, Lin Shiming once again put the yellow Spiritual Plants into his bag one by one.

With the monkey wine collected, Lin Shiming no longer had to endure the temptation of its aroma. After several deep breaths, he removed the stone door. Although he didn’t know what kind of Materials this stone wall was made of, its ability to make Divine Sense disappear without a trace meant it was definitely an extraordinary spiritual material treasure.

When he returned to Fangmu Mountain, Lin Shiming was determined to read more about the strange objects and Heaven And Earth Treasure in the cultivation world, otherwise, he would always obtain treasures without recognizing them, suffering from a lack of knowledge.

The stone wall door was very light, feeling as warm and smooth as jade to the touch, but it had no other special characteristics.

Unable to figure out its origin, Lin Shiming put away the treasure and prepared to explore the Peach Blossom Grove again.

He knew that the spirit water he had obtained would mostly go to the Golden Winged Mantis and the Red-haired Demon Monkey, and the spirit wine he had harvested would definitely be handed over. This Peak Grade spirit wine might be the key to curing the Clan Leader.

Lin Shiming naturally wouldn’t be short-sighted and swallow the spirit wine. He knew that for a Family to develop steadily, the strongest combat power guarantee was the key.

For example, the current Lin Family, if news spread that the Clan Leader had unfortunately passed away.

On the third day, people from other Families would definitely be sitting in the Lin Family’s Council Great Hall, openly discussing the distribution of the Green Lotus Spiritual Pond and the Lin Family’s territory.

In Lin Shiming’s view, one could say the Immortal Realm wasn’t that cruel, because there were still Families, and there was still a shared purpose driven by Bloodline ties.

One could also say the Immortal Realm was extremely cruel, because many cultivators, for the sake of profit and the path to Immortality, would betray their masters and destroy their ancestors, openly plunder, and kill to seize treasures!

Therefore, strength is the eternal truth.

Lin Shiming flew out of the cave and kept searching in the Peach Blossom Grove.

The fruiting of the Spirit Peach Tree also meant the peach blossoms had withered, and the pink beauty was temporarily gone, but the scent of peach blossoms still filled the entire grove.

It had the Concept of ’falling into mud and crushed to dust, but the fragrance remains the same.’

Lin Shiming’s state of mind was extremely relaxed at this moment. With the Family Elders guarding outside and a full harvest inside, his sense of urgency to find Spiritual Plants and spiritual vegetation had weakened considerably.

However, Lin Shiming’s luck was still good. After searching for a quarter of an hour, he found two Low Grade Spiritual Plants and a fifty-year-old Red Ginseng. The Low Grade Spirit Medicine was Huangqi Grass, which wasn’t particularly valuable; it was a main herb for a healing Medicinal Pill.

The fifty-year-old Red Ginseng, however, was precious, equivalent to the most valuable medicinal herb among Medium Grade ones, worth at least one to two hundred Spirit Stones. If its age weren’t still insufficient, its value would be even higher!

”Seventh Brother, guess what I found!” Under a large, ordinary peach tree, Lin Shiming met Lin Shiqi.

He saw her run over, smiling, holding a spirit beast pouch, and vigorously shaking it in front of Lin Shiming.

”I acquired a Yellow-haired Demon Monkey cub, completely yellow-haired, and incredibly strong. It’s definitely no worse than your mantis!”

With that, Lin Shiqi indeed took out the Yellow-haired Demon Monkey cub. This little cub was clearly born much earlier than Lin Shiming’s Red-haired cub, but even so, its size was only about the same as Lin Shiming’s Red-haired cub.

”Then congratulations, Third Sister!” Lin Shiming waved his hand and congratulated her. These Yellow-haired Demon Monkeys, at their Peak, could reach the Late Stage of Yao Beast, and their combat power was also extremely strong, making them suitable for raising as Spirit Beasts.

So Lin Shiming’s congratulations were not insincere.

However, Lin Shiming still felt a bit smug. This Yellow-haired Demon Monkey, let alone compared to the Golden Winged Mantis, was not just a little worse than the Red-haired Demon Monkey.

But he didn’t show it. With his Third Sister’s personality, if she wasn’t happy, she would threaten to keep his secret, and he couldn’t bear that.

”Let’s go, we’ve searched enough. Let’s gather with Grand Uncle and the others!” Lin Shiming suggested, and Lin Shiqi readily agreed.

The two walked together towards the High Grade peach tree.

Along the way, Lin Shiming also encountered Lin Shijie and others. The three had also searched separately and then gathered together. The expressions on their faces were all somewhat pleased, but they were trying hard not to show it.

Lin Shiming naturally knew that if he himself could obtain Red Ginseng, the others would certainly not fare badly either.

Many should have also acquired Yellow-haired Demon Monkey cubs.

Lin Shiming saw Thirteenth Uncle, Lin Houwei, from the demon-hunting team under a peach tree.

The latter’s face was flushed, full of drunken cheer. Upon seeing Lin Shiming, he even greeted Lin Shiming and finally asked him if he seemed normal!

Lin Shiming and the others naturally smiled and replied no!

Only their smiling expressions made Lin Houwei suddenly feel very embarrassed.

Soon, everyone arrived under the High Grade Spirit Peach Tree. All the Elders were also present.

”Father, Grand Uncle, Second Grandpa, Third Grandma, Fourth Grandpa, Sixth Uncle!” Lin Shiming bowed one by one, and the others also bowed to their Elders.

”You’re here, how was it? Did you have any harvest?” Lin Houyuan asked the group.

Immediately, everyone started chatting simply, but Lin Shiming noticed that the Grand Elder, Second Elder, and others did not look particularly good.

Even his own father, beneath his smile, harbored a hint of bitterness.

”Father, I have an important matter to report to you and the Elders!”
