Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

163: Probing and counter-pursuingThe black-robed Cultivator also became nervous. Lin Shiming pulled out another third-tier Spirit Beast, and it seemed that both of them, like his Natal Corpse, were not simple.

Frightened, he quickly took out three Spirit Talismans.

However, almost as soon as he took out his Spirit Talismans, a flash of white light shimmered in the Void Realm, as if a spider web had passed through.

A head flew high into the air.

Thus, the black-robed Cultivator fell.

As soon as the black-robed Cultivator fell, the ordinary zombies and blood corpses immediately became disoriented, like walking corpses without intelligence.

Only the two Natal Corpses became even more excited, and began to fiercely suppress the Red-haired Demon Monkey and the Golden Winged Mantis.

The Red-haired Demon Monkey’s flames greatly suppressed the leopard Corpse, but it was still bombarded relentlessly.

One can imagine the strength of that Corpse. The Golden Winged Mantis, however, lived up to his expectations, firmly suppressing the Green-haired Zombie. Its massive scythe-like legs left no less than ten huge cracks on the Green-haired Zombie’s body. If it were an ordinary Body Cultivator, he would have already died.

Lin Shiming first used the Demon Binding Pouch to collect the Green-haired Zombie, then he and his two beasts suppressed the leopard Corpse and also put it into the Demon Binding Pouch.

These two Natal Corpses clearly had cultivation value and extremely strong physical bodies. If a control method could be found from a Corpse Refinement Sect Cultivator, bringing them back to Fangmu Mountain to guard the Sect would not be a bad idea.

Moreover, these Natal Corpses clearly possessed intelligence themselves, and the requirements for controlling them might not necessarily require cultivating the Corpse Refinement Sect’s Cultivation Technique.

On the other hand, the blood corpses were worthless and their strength was far inferior to Cultivators of the same stage. Lin Shiming ordered them all to be incinerated into ash by the flames from the Red-haired Demon Monkey.

Lin Shiming put away his Storage Pouch, used a Fireball Spell to burn the entire ground, and then a Catalysis Spell to catalyze the nearby ordinary plants until they reached their original height. After a quick glance, seeing no obvious flaws, Lin Shiming was satisfied and prepared to leave.

However, just as Lin Shiming was about to leave, a streak of light suddenly flew from the horizon. The light was extremely brilliant and incredibly fast.

And he was extremely familiar with it; it was none other than Lu Changming, a Cultivator from the Lu Family.

Lu Changming was also in an extremely sorry state at this moment, as if he had suffered extremely severe injuries, and his direction was precisely towards him.

Upon seeing this, Lin Shiming immediately activated his spirit boat. The latter was a Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, and he did not believe he was a match for a Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator. Moreover, with such Corpse Refinement Sect experts chasing him, what cultivation level would the person chasing Lu Changming be?

Thinking of this, Lin Shiming urged his spirit boat to go even faster. Besides, not only was his own true essence dry, but even the true essence in his Heavenly Wood Heart spirit platform was mostly depleted.

The remaining true essence was at most equivalent to that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator.

Lin Shiming quickly took out Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, but he suddenly remembered the System’s prompt: Corpse Refinement Sect disciples and sneak attacks. Both were now verified, but there was no sign of High-Grade Spirit Stones.

While steering the spirit boat, he also took out the Corpse Refinement Sect Cultivator’s Storage Pouch. As soon as the Storage Pouch was opened, the first thing that caught his eye was not the various bottles and jars, nor the Jade Slips.

Instead, it was a nanmu box with gold silk inlay on a wooden stand. The box was half-open, revealing more than thirty crystal-clear, vibrant Spirit Stones inside.

These Spirit Stones were the same size as Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, and their shapes varied, as if they had just been mined and not yet polished.

But the amount of Spiritual Qi was terrifyingly pure, even purer than the Spiritual Qi of Fangmu Mountain’s third-tier High Grade Spiritual Vein.

”High-Grade Spirit Stones!” Lin Shiming’s heart couldn’t help but pound. He never expected that someone would travel such a long distance to deliver High-Grade Spirit Stones to him.

The value of these Spirit Stones was far higher than other Magical Artifacts. Moreover, with these pure High-Grade Spirit Stones, just about five of them, the pure Spiritual Qi released, when used during a Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, could loosen the Bottleneck by three points out of thin air.

Xu Daolai had used that small High-Grade Spirit Stone Mine to achieve Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

Of course, at this moment, what was more important was to restore his true essence.

Lin Shiming grabbed a wood-attribute High-Grade Spirit Stone and began to restore his true essence.

As soon as the Spiritual Qi from the High-Grade Spirit Stone was absorbed, he felt it was incredibly pure, instantly filling his spirit platform considerably, and requiring almost no refinement.

It was exceptionally smooth, and his true essence visibly thickened.

Lin Shiming flew his spirit boat while restoring his true essence, and his mood instantly brightened.

However, Lu Changming behind him was also giving chase. What puzzled Lin Shiming was that Lu Changming was not riding a spirit boat, but still wielding a long sword, yet his speed was by no means slower than a third-tier High Grade spirit boat.

”Young Friend Lin, there are no pursuers behind you, no need to flee!” Lu Changming called out earnestly from behind.

His tone was quite urgent, but how could Lin Shiming believe him? He still didn’t understand why Lu Changming held such great hostility towards him.

Then he heard Lu Changming suddenly exclaim:

”Young Friend Lin, I am Lu Xianwu’s clan uncle. Your Beast Nurturing Pill Pill Formula and Golden Luan Eagle were sold to you by Lu Xianwu, weren’t they!”

After Lin Shiming heard this, his heart was instantly stirred by a storm of emotions.

Lu Xianwu’s name, combined with the Beast Nurturing Pill Pill Formula and the Golden Luan Eagle, immediately made him think of Cultivator Wu.

Lin Shiming did not reply, but he saw that Lu Changming actually started to turn back, his sword light fleeing to the side.

He was no longer chasing him.

It was as if he knew he couldn’t catch him, which was incredibly strange.

”Not good!” Lin Shiming’s heart suddenly jolted.

Not being chased was not a good thing. It meant that Lu Changming might know he had killed Lu Xianwu, and thus deduced the whereabouts of the Little Divine Tree.

In an instant, Lin Shiming’s heart was filled with bitterness. He didn’t know how Lu Changming knew, but he believed that Lu Changming must have seen his shock just now and also sensed the High-Grade Spirit Stones.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t run.

Lin Shiming instantly regretted being too young and having his weakness exposed.

”Daoist Lu, are you truly Daoist Lu Xianwu’s clan uncle?” Lin Shiming dared not gamble, nor could he. Otherwise, the entire Lin Family of Fangmu Mountain would be annihilated because of this news.

Lu Changming’s attempt to flee even more indicated that Lu Changming had reached a dead end.

This old fox, who had been desperately chasing him just now, was probably trying to pressure him to extract information.

Of course, he also understood that Lu Changming must still have some trump cards. Even if his magical power and true essence were insufficient, his Magical Artifacts were almost gone, and he no longer had a third-tier spirit boat, he still wanted to take a gamble.

Otherwise, if the Spirit Beast Sect pursued him, he would only be able to flee Zhao Country, or perhaps defect to the Corpse Refinement Sect or the Heavenly Demon Sect. And these two Sects would certainly demand that he hand over the Little Divine Tree.

Lin Shiming said this also to extract information from Lu Changming. If Lu Changming stopped, it didn’t mean he had fallen into a trap; rather, it meant Lu Changming still had strength, and this old fox was turning the tables.

If he fled for his life, that truly meant Lu Changming had escaped Cloud Mirror Mountain at an extremely heavy cost.

Otherwise, with his arrogant and overbearing personality, even if Lin Shiming were a Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, he might not have hesitated to fight him!

Lin Shiming’s third-tier spirit boat was once again fully activated, only this time it wasn’t to escape, but to chase a Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator. If this were in the past, he wouldn’t have dared to believe it.
