Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

51: Consonant Rhinoceros GuOn the bustling street, many Cultivators stopped because of the confrontation between the two, but more chose to walk away, unwilling to stir up trouble.

The two stood there, an eerie aura rising around them.

No one from the Lin Family or the Huang Family spoke, nor did anyone move.

Only Huang Yunqi’s entire face was flushed red, wanting to humiliate Lin Xianzhi, but constrained by the Gu-wielding blue-robed Cultivator, he swallowed his words.

The two did not engage in combat, yet it was more perilous than a fight.

Just then, a wave of Divine Sense suddenly came from the sky, and a greater Spiritual Pressure descended, directly pressing everyone down as if carrying Mount Tai, their legs trembling, as if they would inevitably kneel at any moment.

“A Purple Mansion Senior!” Lin Shiming instantly understood, and at the same time, his understanding of a Purple Mansion Senior reached a new level.

He couldn’t even withstand the Spiritual Pressure from afar.

One must know that this was a Purple Mansion Senior suppressing everyone, not specifically targeting him.

“Settle your grievances outside the city!”

A cold shout echoed in everyone’s minds.

The Lin Family and the Huang Family immediately ceased, repeatedly confessing their faults, while the blue-robed middle-aged man, however, seemed to have ample confidence, as if he wasn’t afraid of the Purple Mansion Loose Cultivator at all.

“Please forgive us, Senior, the Lin Family and others will leave immediately.”

After Lin Xianzhi finished speaking, he led Lin Shiming and the others away.

From beginning to end, he did not give Huang Yunqi a second glance, nor did he ever respond to him.

Only Huang Yunqi remained, glaring fiercely at the departing Lin Xianzhi with angry eyes.

“As a Cultivator, why are you still so easily angered? You old man Huang Yun, you’re regressing the older you get. No wonder the Huang Family isn’t thriving under your leadership.” The blue-robed middle-aged man, Li Chengzhi, swept a disdainful glance at Huang Yunqi.

Strangely, his voice was exceptionally hoarse.

“Fellow Daoist Li, don’t forget who caused the Lin Family to become like this from a Purple Mansion Family. It wasn’t my Huang Family.” Huang Yunqi also became a bit displeased at this point.

“Don’t worry, Lin Xianzhi’s strength has indeed improved significantly, but my Lingxi insect already sensed it just now. He’s merely just entered the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, and their Lin Family has also been marked by me!”

“It’s laughable that he’s still hiding his strength, but with my Lingxi insect present, who below the Purple Mansion stage can conceal their true abilities?”

The blue-robed middle-aged man slightly raised his hand, and within the black robe’s cuff, upon closer inspection, it was clearly not an embroidery, but an extremely tiny black beetle quietly clinging… Lin Xianzhi led the Lin Family members into a restaurant called Laiyue Restaurant.

The restaurant was very popular, the first floor was full of people, and the Spirit Cuisine on the tables was incredibly tempting and full of Spiritual Qi.

Cultivators usually abstain from gluttony, but here, their desires were fully awakened.

Lin Shiming couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

No wonder business was so good.

“Senior, do you have a reservation?” A young attendant at the fifth level of Qi Condensation cultivation came quickly to the Lin Family members, a fawning smile on his face.

“No reservation. We’d like a private room on the second floor, and also prepare eight rooms!” Lin Xianzhi said skillfully.

“Alright, Senior, please come this way?” The Qi Condensation attendant bowed and gestured for them to follow.

The Lin Family members arrived on the second floor, opened an elegant private room, and ordered a large table of Spirit Cuisine.

The taste was excellent, and it was full of Spiritual Qi!

It could be considered perfect in color, aroma, taste, and Spiritual Qi!

However, the prices made Lin Shiming and Lin Shijie click their tongues. This meal alone would cost four to five hundred Spirit Stones, and lodging wasn’t cheap either; ten Spirit Stones per room per night, which is one hundred Spirit Stones for ten days, and for eight people, that’s eight hundred Spirit Stones!

“This Laiyue Restaurant is an industry of the Sect. Its safety and privacy are relatively high! And it’s not much more expensive than other inns and restaurants?” As if noticing Lin Shiming and Lin Shijie’s exclamations, Lin Houyuan beside them explained.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiming’s admiration for the Sect’s methods grew even stronger.

The Sect holding a Foundation Establishment auction was not just a huge profit; it was practically taking a knife to carve meat from each Foundation Establishment Family!

Yet, every Foundation Establishment Family had to accept it. This was the Sect’s confidence in monopolizing the Foundation Establishment Pill.

After checking in, Lin Xianzhi did not restrict everyone but allowed the Cultivators to act on their own.

However, at this moment, Lin Shiming’s System prompt appeared again.

“Please carefully check your entire body; you will find a lurking Lingxi insect!”

Lin Shiming was greatly alarmed. He didn’t expect the System to prompt him about having a Lingxi insect on him. He had never heard of this Lingxi insect and didn’t know its purpose.

But having a Lingxi insect on him would definitely not be a good thing.

Lin Shiming continuously scanned his entire body with his Divine Sense, not missing a single inch of skin. However, to his surprise, there was basically no foreign object, let alone a Lingxi insect.

Once!

Twice!

Thrice!

Lin Shiming scanned three times in a row, but to his shock, there was still no foreign object!

His heart couldn’t help but feel incredibly heavy. This unknown fear was far more terrifying than a visible danger!

After confirming he couldn’t find it a fourth time, Lin Shiming dared not delay and quickly walked towards Lin Xianzhi’s room.

After a knock on the door, Lin Shiming saw Lin Xianzhi, who was meditating.

The latter was also confused to see Lin Shiming so flustered.

“Shiming, is something wrong?”

“Seventh Grand Uncle, Shiming’s Spirit Beast found something amiss!” Lin Shiming directly attributed the discovery of something amiss to the Golden Winged Mantis and released the Golden Winged Mantis on the spot.

“This mantis has been conveying messages of danger to me ever since I fed it, and all pointers lead to my own body!”

“Come here!” The latter also noticed something was wrong, and it was as if he recalled that encounter with Li Chengzhi thirty years ago, where he was also inexplicably ambushed.

Lin Xianzhi frowned, then a powerful Divine Sense directly condensed and began to scan Lin Shiming’s body inch by inch.

Finally, on Lin Shiming’s inner armor, a tiny white spot was detected, so small that it couldn’t be seen with the naked eye.

“This is a Lingxi insect cocoon!” Lin Xianzhi said with lingering fear.

He then introduced it to Lin Shiming.

“You’ve been afflicted with a Gu by Li Chengzhi. This is a Lingxi insect, extremely tiny. When it forms a cocoon, if one’s Divine Sense is not as strong as his, this Lingxi insect cannot be detected. Moreover, as long as the Lingxi insect is present, he can freely control our whereabouts!”

Lin Shiming listened with lingering fear. This Li Chengzhi was indeed insidious, actually placing a Gu on him, a Cultivator at the lowest cultivation level of Qi Condensation Stage Seven!

If it weren’t for Lin Shiming’s prompt, he might have truly fallen into Li Chengzhi’s trap.

After all, who would have thought that Li Chengzhi wouldn’t target Lin Xianzhi or the other Elders with a Gu, but him instead!

“Your Spirit Beast has rendered another great service!” Lin Xianzhi said with some emotion, seemingly unable to grasp the Golden Winged Mantis’s potential anymore.

This was also another one of Lin Shiming’s plans; even if the Golden Winged Mantis became a third-tier Yao Beast after Foundation Establishment, he wouldn’t need to explain too much anymore.
