Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

72: Meet old friends againAfter the meeting, Lin Shiming followed Lin Yuzheng to a cubicle. There was a table in the cubicle, and several members of the Shi Generation were arranging some spirit fruits.

During the Auction, it will follow the example of Qingxuan City’s Auction, offering some High Grade Tier 2 spirit fruits to Foundation Establishment Families, while other Qi Refining Stage Families and Loose Cultivators will be provided with some Tier 1 spirit fruits that contain a portion of Spiritual Qi.

Next to the two Cultivators, there was another Cultivator from the Hou Generation, meticulously organizing the treasures for Auction with a serious expression.

“Houyuan, please give me the estimated Auction items and the list of backup Auction items!” Lin Yuzheng said to a slightly plump Cultivator.

He then took two Jade Slips from the latter’s hand.

One Jade Slip contained the introduction and list of the primary Auction items, while the other contained the introduction and list of the secondary Auction items.

Lin Yuzheng gave both to Lin Shiming for his perusal.

These treasures had actually been seen by their Elders. If they encountered a treasure they needed, they would communicate with the Family and the owner of the Auction item.

Sometimes, they could acquire it in advance by paying a hefty price, so no one found it strange.

“Thank you, Fifth Grandfather!” Lin Shiming thanked him and took the Jade Slips with both hands, then began to examine them. He immediately spotted a High Grade Tier 2 Heavenly Wood Heart.

What made Lin Shiming overjoyed was that this Heavenly Wood Heart was also the heart of a Wood Demon that had gained sentience.

In this world, there were Spirit Beasts, and naturally, there would also be Wood Demons that gained sentience through Opportunity. Wood Demons could also absorb Spiritual Qi and Cultivate.

Compared to Spirit Beasts, Wood Demons were rarer, and it was said that the heart of a sentient Wood Demon could even be used to improve the grade of Spirit Plants.

This made the heart of a sentient Wood Demon even more valuable. For example, if the Lin Family obtained a Wood Demon’s heart, it could be used to upgrade a Medium Grade Tier 2 Spirit Peach Tree or a High Grade Tier 2 Spirit Peach Tree.

Of course, there was a possibility of failure in the upgrade, but it still showed the preciousness of the Wood Demon’s heart.

However, in the Cultivation world, when Cultivators encountered Wood Demons, most would not kill them for their hearts when the Wood Demons were in their prime. Instead, they would take them for their own use, helping the Wood Demons to advance in grade, at least to Tier 3.

This High Grade Tier 2 Wood Demon’s heart was quite rare.

The Heavenly Wood Spirit Planting Secret Method also recorded that sentient Heavenly Wood Spirit Seeds could even assist Cultivators in their Cultivation, allowing them to refine Spiritual Qi independently.

Moreover, it was important to know that a Medium Grade Tier 2 Purple Sandalwood Heavenly Wood Heart could provide him with two to three times the Spiritual Qi storage.

If it were a High Grade Tier 2, it could increase by at least another one or two times.

With such a terrifying increase, his Spiritual Qi might even be much more than that of a Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level Cultivator.

For Lin Shiming, this was definitely something he had to obtain.

However, the next moment, Lin Shiming discovered that this Heavenly Wood Heart was not put up by the Family itself, but by a Loose Cultivator for Auction.

The purpose was to obtain the Lin Family’s ten-year exemption.

The price of this Heavenly Wood Heart would definitely rank among the top ten in the Lin Family, as the Lin Family only offered three treasures equivalent to Tier 3 here.

“Second Uncle, do you know who the Cultivator of this Heavenly Wood Heart is?” Lin Shiming asked Lin Yuzheng.

Lin Yuzheng then looked at Lin Houyuan behind him.

The round-faced Lin Houyuan did not hesitate and immediately spoke what he knew:

“He is a strange Spirit Beast Taming Loose Cultivator who came to the Market half a month ago and opened a spirit meat shop. He is still staying in the Market and will bring the Heavenly Wood Heart tomorrow!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiming asked Lin Houyuan many more questions about the Loose Cultivator and decided to go with Lin Houyuan tomorrow.

After everything was planned, he suppressed his inner excitement and continued to look at the remaining treasure introductions and details.

Although several treasures that followed also tempted him, the Heavenly Wood Heart was the urgent item at the moment, and he didn’t have enough Spirit Stones to exchange for more, so he returned the Jade Slips and then bid farewell to Lin Yuzheng.

He headed to the room arranged for him by the Lin Family.

Back in his room, he began to check his treasures, preparing to sell some Magical Artifacts that were temporarily useless.

He currently had the High Grade Tier 2 Qingxiao Sword, the High Grade Tier 2 Thick Earth Shield, the High Grade Tier 2 Five Elements Pagoda, and the High Grade Tier 2 Mystic Soul Needle.

Speaking of which, the Mystic Soul Needle was a trap set by the Huang Family. The Mystic Soul Needle came in a set of two, as a set of Magical Artifacts, capable of sensing each other to a certain extent. This was why the Huang Family Cultivator did not bid against him that day, and also why the Huang Family found him afterward.

He naturally would not sell these Magical Artifacts. The remaining Magical Artifacts were some High Grade Magical Artifacts, many of which he had already discarded. With spirit seeds like ironwood bramble and Serpent Vine Flower, he no longer paid much attention to High Grade weapons.

That day, Lin Shiming disposed of all the unused Magical Artifacts and other useless items.

After gathering five thousand Spirit Stones, Lin Shiming finally felt at ease.

He didn’t go out again that day, but quietly Cultivated, waiting for the next day to arrive... Early the next morning, Lin Shiming found his Thirtieth Uncle, Lin Houyuan, and followed him to the largest shop in Xing County Market, the Lin Clan Commercial Bank.

The two waited in a private room for a long time. During this time, many Cultivators carrying treasures handed over the items to be Auctioned to the Lin Family for proxy Auction.

Finally, at noon, a Middle-aged cultivator wearing a spirit-isolating veil walked in.

As soon as the Cultivator entered, Lin Houyuan stood up to greet him:

“Fellow Daoist Wu, you’ve finally arrived.”

“Wu is just a rough Loose Cultivator, how can Manager Lin stand up to greet him?” The middle-aged man was clearly somewhat suspicious of Lin Houyuan’s enthusiasm.

Lin Shiming, on the other hand, felt an extreme familiarity with the Middle-aged man before him.

When the Middle-aged cultivator saw Lin Shiming observing him, his body trembled slightly.

He clearly recognized Lin Shiming. Although the movement was small, Lin Shiming, who was fully focused, naturally noticed it.

Finally, his gaze lingered on the Middle-aged cultivator’s hand, which occasionally touched his wrist.

Lin Shiming finally remembered that the person before him was none other than the Middle-aged cultivator from Qingxuan City who had sold him the Pill Formula for the Beast Nurturing Pill.

However, what Lin Shiming couldn’t believe was that this person no longer wore a storage bracelet, and his cultivation had changed to Qi Refining Stage Eighth Level.

But his subconscious habit of touching his storage bracelet was still caught by Lin Shiming.

And that tremor was the best evidence.

“Fellow Daoist Wu, let me introduce myself, Lin Family, Lin Shiming, you still remember, right!” Lin Shiming smiled slightly. He was wearing the Lin Family’s Family attire that day in Qingxuan City, so there was no need to hide it now.

And knowing that the other party was the Cultivator who sold the Pill Formula, Lin Shiming was even more confident.

Moreover, it made sense regarding the Heavenly Wood Heart; it was normal for someone from the Spirit Beast Sect to raise Wood Demons.

But it also indicated another problem: the Spirit Beast Sect disciple killed by this Fellow Daoist Wu was probably not ordinary.

“Fellow Daoist Lin looks very unfamiliar. I wonder why you say that?” That Fellow Daoist Wu still pretended not to know him, seemingly gambling that Lin Shiming was bluffing him.

But even if Lin Shiming had an element of bluffing, connecting it to the Heavenly Wood Heart and the owner of the beast meat shop, he had already confirmed it!
