Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

73: It’s normal, I got up too”Cultivator Wu, there’s no need to be nervous. Lin has no ill intentions. I just want to ask if Fellow Daoist would be willing to part with his Heavenly Wood Heart. Our Lin Family’s promise of reduced shop rent still stands.” Lin Shiming saw the Middle-aged cultivator in front of him was clearly flustered, and fearing overdoing it, he began to explain.

”Then what price will Fellow Daoist offer?” Cultivator Wu’s voice was clearly a little angry. Last time, Lin Shiming had used the unknown origin of the Beast Nurturing Art to halve the price of the Pill Formula, so he naturally had no good temper towards Lin Shiming.

Moreover, this time, it was very likely to be suppressed again!

”How about 4,000 Spirit Stones?”

”Fellow Daoist, that price is a bit of a joke, isn’t it? A normal Heavenly Wood Heart can fetch two or three thousand Spirit Stones.” The Middle-aged cultivator finished speaking and turned to leave, seemingly not even planning to attend the Auction.

”Plus half a catty of spirit honey! Fellow Daoist, won’t you consider it?” Lin Shiming shouted again.

This time, the Middle-aged cultivator finally stopped, turned to look at Lin Shiming, and assessed Lin Shiming’s cultivation. He found that the latter had indeed not been seen for three years, and had actually progressed from just entering the sixth level to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

”One catty of spirit honey will do.” The Middle-aged cultivator said.

The price of half a catty of spirit honey was probably five or six hundred Spirit Stones, but due to the rarity of spirit honey, it was normal for half a catty to reach over a thousand Spirit Stones.

”Only half a catty.” Lin Shiming shook his head.

”Then add another thousand Spirit Stones!” The Middle-aged Fellow Daoist continued.

Lin Shiming did not answer, but stared intently at the Middle-aged Fellow Daoist, then spoke.

”Cultivator Wu, do you really want this Heavenly Wood Heart to go to Auction? This Yunzhou is not too big and not too small. A Heavenly Wood Heart from a second-order Wood Demon can still spread far and wide.”

Lin Shiming’s words were heavily emphasized on the words ”second-order.”

As soon as these words came out, the Middle-aged cultivator had clearly not thought of this problem before, and now, recalling it, he immediately glared fiercely at Lin Shiming.

If he was in Qingxuan City before, he was still not sure if Lin Shiming had seen something, but now he was completely sure that Lin Shiming had guessed the general origin of his treasures.

”Alright! But I still hope Fellow Daoist Lin can keep the seller’s identity confidential. If I have any more treasures in the future, I will also consider the Lin Family.”

Cultivator Wu no longer insisted and agreed to the transaction.

Lin Shiming also readily agreed. The Beast Nurturing Pill Pill Formula he obtained could not be leaked either, so he naturally wouldn’t say anything. On the contrary, he also had concerns about this person.

After taking out the Spirit Stones and half a catty for Cultivator Wu to inspect, Cultivator Wu took out a jade box.

There was also a Spirit Talisman on the jade box.

”Fellow Daoist, please also inspect it. After the transaction is complete, Cultivator Wu will not accept returns.”

Lin Shiming took the jade box, carefully removed the Spirit Talisman, and opened the jade box. He saw a red Wood Core radiating Spirit Light, and there was still an aura belonging to a Wood Demon on the Wood Core, lingering for a long time.

After putting away the Wood Core, Lin Shiming finally felt relieved, and Cultivator Wu also turned and left directly.

He disappeared at the end of the street.

”Thank you, Thirtieth Uncle!” Lin Shiming successfully obtained the Heavenly Wood Heart, then cupped his hands to Lin Houyuan to express his gratitude.

”He has murderous intentions towards you.” Lin Houyuan also nodded, but his eyes kept glancing into the distance, then looked at Lin Shiming and reminded him.

Lin Shiming watched Thirtieth Uncle calmly speak, and was not surprised. On the contrary, he also looked deeply in the direction where the Middle-aged cultivator had disappeared.

”Normal, after all, I also have them.” Lin Shiming replied calmly, and then took out the jade box again, holding it in his hand and examining it carefully.

He was certain there was a problem with the jade box.

Cultivator Wu wanted to kill him, but why wouldn’t he want to kill Cultivator Wu?

In the Cultivation World, the premise of everything is self-preservation. Every man for himself.

Solving him would also eliminate the worry of the Beast Nurturing Art being leaked.

Of course, Lin Shiming also knew that he had to be careful and cautious when facing Cultivator Wu, and absolutely could not treat him as an ordinary eighth-level Qi Refining Cultivator.

The Core Disciple of the Spirit Beast Sect had fallen into his hands, and he had successfully escaped from the Spirit Beast Sect’s territory to the Qingxuan Sect’s territory. He would never believe that this was luck.

Of course, if possible, he hoped that this Cultivator could stay until the end of the Auction. At that time, he could directly call on a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator to act, which would be foolproof.

Even if he had great means, he would not be able to escape.

However, he guessed that Cultivator Wu would leave during the sermon, which would be when Seventh Grand Uncle and his father would be unable to get away.

”Then give him one of the worst shops!” Thirtieth Uncle Lin Houyuan said.

Lin Shiming also nodded. Giving the best shop would be more like fishing, while giving a bad shop might make the other party lose their guard.

Lin Shiming talked with Thirtieth Uncle Lin Houyuan for a long time. The latter’s many experiences gave Lin Shiming a great harvest. This was different from the Cultivation Technique in books; many were about dealing with people and observing their expressions.

As long as a Cultivator has not detached from the concept of ’cultivation,’ he will never be free from worldly affairs.

In half a day, Lin Shiming also saw many treasures brought by Loose Cultivators to participate in the Auction.

For a time, he was greatly enlightened, and he was tempted by many treasures, but due to limited Spirit Stones, he still gave up.

A day passed, and the Foundation Establishment Grand Ceremony also began as scheduled.

Xing County Market was filled with red lanterns everywhere, and the most lively place was the square in front of the Lin Clan’s shop. The large red tables, except for the central area, were already full.

And at this time, it was also the time for the Foundation Establishment Family to arrive.

”The Ling Family of Beihe congratulates the Lin Family on their new Foundation Establishment, and wishes Grand Cultivator Lin a bright future and a promising Purple Mansion. They specially present a hundred-year third-order Purple Cloud Ganoderma!”

”The Qian Family of Hetian congratulates the Lin Family on their new Foundation Establishment, and wishes Grand Cultivator Lin a boundless future and a renowned reputation. They present a bottle of third-order Medicinal Pill, the Solidifying Yuan Pill!”

...As the various Foundation Establishment Families of Yunzhou came to offer congratulations, the Lin Family also specially arranged for Cultivators to cheer for the arriving Foundation Establishment Families and present gifts.

Auspicious clouds constantly appeared in the sky. The stronger the arriving Foundation Establishment Family, the more auspicious clouds there were.

And at this moment, nine auspicious clouds floated across the sky.

”Qingxuan Sect’s He An represents the Qingxuan Sect to congratulate the Lin Family’s Foundation Establishment Cultivator! He specially presents a third-order Medium Grade Magical Artifact, the Thunder Roaring Spear!”

With the arrival of the Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator He An, the atmosphere of the scene completely reached its peak.

Lin Houyuan and Lin Xianzhi together invited He An to the main seat of the head table.

After the Foundation Establishment Families finished their cheers, it was time for the Qi Refining Families and Loose Cultivators to present their gifts.

”The Qi Refining Family Xu Family presents a hundred-year second-order ginseng!”

”Loose Cultivator Chen Ping’an presents a hundred-year Fire Cloud Fruit!”

...The gifts from the Qi Refining Families and Loose Cultivators did not have auspicious clouds. Correspondingly, the Qi Refining Loose Cultivators were also guided to their seats by the Lin Family’s Qi Refining Cultivators.

After everyone had finished cheering, Lin Houyuan also raised his wine glass and began to toast everyone at the guest seats.

However, at this moment, black clouds began to float in the sky.

Then, several Cultivators were seen descending from the black clouds.

”The Huangyun Li Family Cultivators have come uninvited, specially to ask for a few cups of spirit wine, and also to present a portion of second-order spirit water.”
