Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

157: Top grade spiritual stoneHowever, Lin Shiming and Lin Xianzhi still didn’t understand. After the banquet, Lin Shiming learned from Lin Xianzhi that his Storage Pouch contained eight hundred Medium Grade Spirit Stones.

That was equivalent to eighty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, a sum that even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator would consider a large fortune.

”Daoist Xu truly has excellent methods!” Returning to his room, after pondering all the way, Lin Shiming couldn’t help but exclaim.

This Xu Daolai was clearly warning them that Cloud Mirror Mountain had treasures, and it was highly probable that Heavenly Demon Sect Cultivators would come.

Yet, Daoist Qian, a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Cultivator, had not been invited.

Lin Xianzhi’s Spirit Stones probably couldn’t compare to those of Lu Changming and Ye Qiuming.

”Everyone has their own schemes, but it’s a pity we don’t have a stronger backing!” Lin Xianzhi also felt somewhat helpless. Even though they had Zi Xuan Sanren’s help and didn’t need to go to the front lines, arriving at such a Medium Grade Spirit Stone Mine on Cloud Mirror Mountain, they still couldn’t avoid being kept in the dark and manipulated.

Leaving Lin Xianzhi’s room, Lin Shiming returned to his own. He had originally intended to wait for the System’s prompt, but unfortunately, the System’s prompt still mentioned Artifact Refining knowledge and did not mention the Cultivator surnamed Lu, nor did it mention the treasures Xu Daolai possessed.

Otherwise, his perspective would be much clearer.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a month had gone by. It was said that the situation in Tianhe City was getting worse.

The Spiritual Veins and Spirit Stone Mines controlled by the various Spirit Beast Sects in Tianhe Province were also ambushed by the Heavenly Demon Sect and Corpse Refinement Sect Disciples, who plundered a large number of treasures.

Fortunately, the Spirit Beast Sect brought out a wondrous mirror. It could project the entire Tianhe Province, and any Cultivator above the Purple Mansion Stage within Tianhe Province would appear in the mirror. This ensured that there were no Purple Mansion Cultivators among the raiding parties.

”Success!” Lin Shiming closed the furnace, withdrew the true fire, and took out a sky-blue Magical Sword.

The Magical Sword was only a Second-Tier Low Grade Magical Artifact, which even a Qi Refining Middle Stage Cultivator might not fancy, but it was indeed the first Second-Tier Low Grade Magical Artifact he had refined.

Lin Shiming put away the Magical Sword and fell into deep thought again, reviewing the refining process and summarizing his findings.

It was a pity Lin Yutie wasn’t here; otherwise, for his first Artifact Refining attempt, he could have sought guidance from Lin Yutie.

After another quarter of an hour, Lin Shiming rose from his futon and walked out the door.

Today was another three-day rotation, and he needed to go to the city wall of Cloud Mirror Mountain to relieve his father.

On the city gate, Lin Shiming flew onto the city wall, only to find Lu Changming also coincidentally flying up from the other side.

The latter flew up and replaced a Lu Family Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator.

”Why are the Lin Family Cultivators so unconcerned about the city gate? Our Ye and Lu Families both have Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators on duty. Does your Lin Family not?” Lu Changming, with just a few words, directly labeled the Lin Family as putting in effort but not contributing.

Beside them, Lin Gang and Lin Houyuan also walked over. Lin Houyuan naturally had a headache, having thought that the events of a month ago had passed, but he didn’t expect Lu Changming to come knocking again today.

As for Lin Gang, there was even less to say. In his opinion, the Lin Family was his Family. During this time, he had many conversations with Lin Houyuan and Lin Shiming.

Especially Lin Shiming, who occasionally brought out spirit tea and respected his elders. Such a polite, discerning, and talented young Cultivator made him want to help and support him.

”Daoist Lu’s lesson is absolutely right. However, my Junior Martial Uncle prefers quiet and dislikes lively. It was my oversight for not reporting this, but with my Junior Martial Uncle’s Divine Sense, he can always cover the entire Cloud Mirror Mountain.”

”Presumably, Daoist Lu, as a fellow Late Foundation Establishment Stage powerhouse, if without flaws, your Divine Sense’s breadth should be able to attest to this!” Lin Shiming said unhurriedly.

”What a glib tongue! I just wonder if your strength is as formidable as your mouth?” Lu Changming’s face turned cold.

”Daoist Lu, what is this behavior?” Lin Gang took a step forward, now filled with displeasure.

Lu Changming had repeatedly disregarded him.

Even if the other Family had a Purple Mansion Cultivator, he had the entire Spirit Beast Sect behind him.

”Daoist Lin, don’t be hasty. This Lu merely saw that this Young Friend has a spirit beast pouch hanging from his waist and heard that Young Friend Lin has a powerful Third-Tier Spirit Beast. I just wanted to compete with beasts, that’s all!” Lu Changming explained.

Hearing this, Lin Shiming’s heart tightened. At this moment, he thought of a possibility: this Lu Family Cultivator was very likely related to the Cultivator who snatched his Mantis Yao Beast.

He knew that his Storage Pouch still contained the Demon Binding Pouch and books of Magic Treasures.

Otherwise, why would Lu Changming immediately challenge him to a beast battle?

But then he reconsidered. In Qingyun City, although he had exposed the Golden Winged Mantis during the battle for the city, he had absolutely not exposed that he had killed that Spirit Beast Sect Cultivator.

Otherwise, the other Disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect and the Golden Core True Person would not have let him go at that time.

Even if they took ten thousand steps back, the Spirit Beast Sect Disciples had nothing to do with Family Cultivators like Lu Changming.

After all, from his Lin Family’s perspective, if Lin Shimo had died, he wouldn’t have mobilized the Family for a large-scale investigation, nor would he have been determined to seek revenge for four years.

”Daoist Lu is joking. The Lin Family is just a declining Family. Not to mention not having fierce Spirit Beasts, even if we did, how could they be Daoist Lu’s opponents?” Lin Shiming shook his head, not accepting.

Lu Changming’s aggressive behavior surely harbored ill intentions.

Lin Shiming was not a hot-blooded youth in his early twenties; how could he follow Lu Changming’s path?

While the few of them were still in a standoff, a spirit boat appeared in the sky.

”Junior Martial Uncle Lin, it’s the front line dispatching Spirit Stones!” A Qi Refining Disciple from the Spirit Beast Sect behind him spoke.

Sure enough, a token flew out in the air.

Both sides of the token emitted light, and both sides bore the characters for ”Spirit Beast.”

After Lin Gang confirmed it, he prepared to open the Formation, allowing the Cultivators on the spirit boat to enter.

The Cultivators responsible for dispatching Spirit Stones had a minimum cultivation of Foundation Establishment Great Perfection; otherwise, the high-level Cultivators would not be at ease, so he dared not be negligent.

Meanwhile, Lin Shiming suddenly felt a prompt appear in his mind.

”Please beware of ambushes, pay attention to the Cultivators controlling corpses. You may have a chance to obtain High-Grade Spirit Stones!”

As soon as the System’s prompt appeared, Lin Shiming’s eyes changed instantly.

Although the prompt only had three sentences, it indicated that the Heavenly Demon Sect and Corpse Refinement Sect were already planning to attack Cloud Mirror Mountain.

And the ambush was very likely to involve an inside agent. At the same time, he finally understood why Xu Daolai valued this Medium Grade Spirit Stone Mine so much. It was probably because High-Grade Spirit Stones had appeared, and he wanted to use them to form a small Spiritual Qi tide to break through the Late Foundation Establishment Stage and enter Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

”Be careful, that spirit boat is a trap!” Lin Shiming suddenly roared.

As Lin Shiming roared, Lin Gang paused for a moment, but the Formation Flag was already open.

In their opinion, even if the Heavenly Demon Sect and Corpse Refinement Sect attacked, they would choose to do so at night!
