Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

82: Nine levels of Qi trainingBeside the Green Lotus Pond, Lin Shiming put away the barrier breaking pill, then took out a Jade Slip and carved the image of the mysterious tree from his memory onto it, before asking Lin Xianzhi.

The latter took the Jade Slip, and after examining it, his expression instantly changed drastically as he looked at Lin Shiming.

Moreover, the Formation Flag in his hand flickered, activating all the Formations near the entire Green Lotus Pond.

”Shiming, where did you see this?” Lin Xianzhi’s expression was extremely serious.

”Seventh Grand Uncle, this is the memory image extracted from the Heavenly Wood Heart of a Wood Demon.” Lin Shiming saw the seriousness of the matter and did not conceal it, while at the same time becoming more interested in Cultivator Wu, re-evaluating him to an even higher degree.

”This is a Little Divine Tree, capable of bearing Minor Divine Power Fruits. After consuming the Divine Fruit, a Purple Mansion Cultivator can be guaranteed to comprehend a new Minor Divine Ability!”

Lin Shiming was greatly shocked upon hearing this. No wonder it was so important even in the Spirit Beast Sect’s spiritual plant garden.

The Inner Sect Disciple of the Spirit Beast Sect killed by Cultivator Wu was definitely one of the most favored direct disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect.

The highest combat power of the three major Sects in Zhao Country were Golden Core True Persons, but such existences almost never appeared. Besides them, there were Purple Mansion Loose Cultivator. If a Purple Mansion Loose Cultivator could gain one more Minor Divine Ability, he would almost be invincible among his peers.

”Such a fruit tree, unless you can guarantee with 100% certainty that no one else knows about it, you must never harbor covetous thoughts!” Lin Xianzhi warned Lin Shiming.

After speaking, he thought of the Purple Mansion Cave again:

”Shiming, you should also focus on improving your cultivation these past few years. Nine years from now, at the next Qingxuan Assembly, it will be time for our Lin Family and the Qian Family to jointly explore the Purple Mansion Cave.”

”Thank you, Seventh Grand Uncle, for the reminder. Shiming will keep it in mind!” Lin Shiming responded with a cupped fist. The timing of the Family’s action was not far off from what he had expected.

At that time, all the families would be in Qingxuan City, allowing the Lin Family and the Qian Family to explore the Purple Mansion Cave without anyone knowing.

Otherwise, if they caused too much commotion, both families would be in deep trouble.

At the same time, through these nine years, Fifth Uncle and his father would also be able to quickly stabilize their Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivation, so they wouldn’t be completely powerless in a fight.

After asking Lin Xianzhi a few more questions, Lin Shiming returned to his Immortal Cave to continue his arduous cultivation.

The pressure was still immense. Now, with spirit honey, enough Azure Spirit Pills, and a barrier breaking pill, it was precisely the time for intense cultivation.

From then on, Lin Shiming’s Immortal Cave once again fell into tranquility. Occasionally, the main door would open, either for the Golden Luan Eagle, the Golden Winged Mantis, and the Red-haired Demon Monkey to go out foraging, or for Lin Shiming to collect spirit honey and infuse the Heavenly Spirit Fruit Tree with the wood-attribute Spiritual Qi from the Purple Wood Heart Sutra... Just like that, another three years passed.

On this day, the scorching sun hung high above the Green Lotus Lake beside the Green Lotus Pond.

Cultivators were using spirit nets to fish for the considerably grown Spirit Fish.

Each time a fish was caught, a specialized Beast Nurturing Master would check if the Spirit Fish was spawning before joyfully placing the Spirit Fish into a prepared spirit tank.

However, at this very moment, everyone felt a sudden surge of immense spiritual power emanating from beside the Green Lotus Pond.

Everyone involuntarily stopped what they were doing and looked in that direction.

”Did Sixth Elder come out of seclusion?” The Cultivators couldn’t help but speculate.

But someone immediately retorted:

”Sixth Elder already broke through to Foundation Establishment two years ago, and after stabilizing half a year ago, he went to Xing County Market to take charge!”

Amidst everyone’s conjectures, Lin Shiming’s Immortal Cave opened, and a Golden Luan Eagle and a massive Red-haired Demon Monkey rushed out first, both beasts crying out joyfully.

The Cultivators were not surprised by this, but in the next glance, they finally saw a figure in a green robe.

Behind the figure, a Golden Winged Mantis as large as a wild ox also followed.

This person was none other than Lin Shiming, who had emerged from seclusion. After exhausting his spirit honey, Azure Spirit Pills, and Beast Nurturing Pills, not only had he himself reached the Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level, but even the Golden Winged Mantis had completely reached the Peak of a Second-Tier Yao Beast.

Not to mention its increased size, what surprised Lin Shiming even more was that the Golden Winged Mantis had grown two more thin wings from its previous four wings. This was a clear sign of its impending promotion to a Third-Tier Yao Beast.

At this time, Jin Chi’s speed was even more terrifying than before. Now, in a one-on-one fight, Lin Shiming himself was not very confident he could defeat Jin Chi alone.

Jin Chi’s performance fully lived up to its reputation as a quasi-Foundation Establishment Spirit Beast.

The Red-haired Demon Monkey had also changed greatly. He had now entered the Second-Tier Late Stage, and his height was not much shorter than the two Yao Monkeys in Peach Blossom Valley back then.

The Golden Luan Eagle, on the other hand, had remained in the Second-Tier Middle Stage, finding it extremely difficult to enter the Second-Tier Late Stage.

After all, due to its innate talent, the Beast Nurturing Pill only shortened the Spirit Beast’s growth time and could not improve its talent.

”Thirteenth Uncle!” After coming out of seclusion, Lin Shiming walked towards the person fishing for Spirit Fish in the distance.

The one in charge of fishing for Spirit Fish this time was Lin Houwei.

”Good lad, you actually reached the Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level before me! You have to treat me to a full fish feast at the Lin Family Restaurant, paired with monkey wine!” Lin Houwei felt a surge of emotion upon seeing Lin Shiming break through to the Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level, but immediately thought of monkey wine and looked forward to it.

”No problem!” Lin Shiming readily agreed. Although he didn’t have many Spirit Stones on him at the moment, his salary for the past three years and the Family’s reward policy also amounted to several thousand Spirit Stones.

After exchanging a few words with Thirteenth Uncle, Lin Shiming also learned about the current situation of the Family and then headed to the Family’s deliberation hall.

The relationship between the Family and the Huangyun Li Family had completely deteriorated over the past three years. Most of the Family’s Cultivators had withdrawn from Qingyun Market, and they were now primarily operating the Xing County Market, as well as selling Spirit Fish and monkey wine to Qingzhou.

Conversely, they rarely hunted in the Qingyun Mountain Range after several trips resulted in the inexplicable deaths of many disciples, leading to a slight decline in the combat strength of the Family’s younger Cultivators in recent years.

Upon arriving at the deliberation hall, Lin Shiming saw Lin Houyuan giving instructions to Fifth Elder Lin Yuzheng and Lin Shijie.

It turned out that after three years, the Family was preparing to hold another Auction in Xing County Market.

Lin Shijie, who had broken through to the Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level, and Fifth Elder, who was in charge of the caravan, were currently there to collect supplies and head to Xing County Market.

”Shiming, you’ve broken through to the Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level!” Lin Houyuan also looked at Lin Shiming with some surprise.

”Thanks to Seventh Uncle’s bestowed pill, I managed to break through!” Lin Shiming waved his hand and replied.

”Alright, then you also go with Fifth Uncle Shijie! Seventh Grand Uncle here in the Family is in seclusion refining Magical Artifacts, and I can’t go over there for now!” Lin Houyuan instructed again.

Lin Shiming readily agreed. Seeing Lin Shijie again, the latter gave him a feeling of being even more sharp and incisive than a few years ago.

Presumably, he had also made a huge Breakthrough in his sword techniques.

”Big Brother, Fifth Grandfather!” After agreeing, Lin Shiming also waved and greeted Lin Shijie and Lin Yuzheng.

After meeting and discussing the departure time, Lin Shiming also went to the Treasure Pavilion to collect his Spirit Stone salary and exchange for some spirit talismans.

From the two of them, Lin Shiming also learned that a Medium Grade Second-Tier Red Spirit Fish would appear at this Auction. This fish tasted even better, and its meat could also improve cultivation.

The Lin Family, which raised Spirit Fish, was naturally determined to obtain the Red Spirit Fish. However, that Loose Cultivator, no matter how much the Lin Family offered, insisted on putting it up for Auction, hoping to get a higher price.
