Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

242: The sword spirit takes shape and comes out of seclusion! (2-in-1)In the Grotto-heaven World, inside a cave.

With a gurgling sound, the Red-haired Demon Monkey woke up.

It clutched its stomach and strode out.

In the distance, the meditating figure was still meditating.

It no longer remembered how many times it had woken up.

A humanized look of disappointment appeared in its eyes as it looked at the Golden Triangle Head.

The latter was under the tree, equally listless, wishing it didn’t have to move a single step.

Four beast eyes met, silently, yet they looked again at the figure in the distance!

In the Void Realm, the figure suddenly stirred, and the two beasts immediately chittered and howled simultaneously.

The figure was naturally Lin Shiming, who was in seclusion to comprehend Sword Intent.

The Root of Deduction was deducing the Grass Character Sword Art, and he reconnected to the scene on the Enlightenment Platform in Nine Leaf City.

He was striking with his sword, he was cleaving the heavens!

He felt his Sword Intent, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, gradually forming, gradually breaking through the soil!

However, at the moment of swinging the sword, his Spirit Light was exhausted again.

Before him, it was as if there was an insurmountable city wall!

Unable to cross it, unable to transform!

He overestimated the power of his Root of Deduction’s Spirit Light; after all, it was just a Minor Divine Ability in its embryonic form.

Even if he used mingxin tea to replenish it, it was still a drop in the bucket.

At that moment, he was disappointed, he was bewildered!

But, at the same time, he was unwilling!

Just as he thought this cultivation of the Sword Art was about to end, a prompt appeared in his mind again.

He saw the grass sword flying into the sky, the scattered grass seeds, and the constantly sprouting grass seedlings deep underground.

He saw the Reincarnation of that blade of grass.

The Heaven-cleaving grass of the Grass Character Sword Art had gone through countless springs and autumns.

It danced with its sword in the spring breeze, hid its sword in the scorching summer, struck with its sword in the crisp autumn, and nurtured its sword in the cold winter!

Grass forms, grass rises.

Cleaving the heavens, grass falls.

Grass forms, grass rises!

...One Reincarnation after another, Sword Intent accumulated again and again!

Hundreds of sword swings were just the tip of the iceberg before him.

Only after hundreds of lifetimes of sword swings could he glimpse the full picture!

At that moment, he seemed to become a grass seed in the myriad worlds.

He fell into the mud, he was washed away by the rain!

He rooted deeply, yet saw no daylight.

He absorbed the dew, he heard the thunder.

At that moment, he listened to the sword for thirty years, with ten years of thunder.

Only then did he know that that sword, moving with the thunder, was for cleaving the heavens!

That day, he broke through the soil!

Gale winds and torrential rains, lightning and thunder.

He finally sprouted, he grew sword-like leaves!

This heaven, it could no longer be obscured!

It was at this moment that Lin Shiming opened his eyes, and from his body, the Zilai Sword flew out.

It slashed towards the sky.

Sword Qi surged, transforming into sword leaves!

Grass Sword Cleaves the Heavens!

Heaven and earth dimmed!

The entire Grotto-heaven World seemed to have been cut open, and turbulent currents surged wildly in the Void Realm!

The sword fell!

The Zilai Sword let out a sword cry, extremely sharp, as if it was cheering!

This was the true Grass Sword Art, from formless to tangible!

Lin Shiming exhaled a turbid breath.

The turbulent currents in the Void Realm also slowly healed.

A slight smile also curved on his lips; his Sword Qi had taken form, it was complete.

The Grass Character Sword Art, too, had reached Major Achievement!

At this moment, he could even cleave open a rift, although this heaven was only the heaven of a Small World, its intensity might be easily broken through by a Purple Mansion Cultivator.

But for his current Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivation, that sword strike was absolutely earth-shattering!

However, the next moment, he inwardly examined himself, only to see that the sword seed of his Grass Sword Art within his body had been completely consumed at some unknown time, and the True Essence within his body was also largely depleted.

And it was a large portion of the True Essence from all three spirit platforms!

Lin Shiming was somewhat astonished, but then he couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh; such power indeed consumed a great deal.

Of course, with this Sword Qi taking form, coupled with the Grass Sword Art, his ultimate sword strike might even be able to cleave ordinary Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivators!

Of course, he still didn’t have much confidence against the Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivators of those large Sects.

Such Cultivators, if they didn’t have one or two top-grade Magical Artifacts as their trump cards, they would be unworthy of being called elite of their Sect!

However, now facing Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators from large Sects, he no longer needed to fear!

”Awoo!” Lin Shiming was still holding the Zilai Sword, and the Red-haired Demon Monkey beside him immediately became impatient. If Lin Shiming still didn’t make a move, it would have already gone to pull at his Storage Pouch!

Lin Shiming turned around when the Red-haired Demon Monkey roared, looking at the Yao Beast.

At this time, the Yao Beast had shrunk to the size of a child, reaching just his waist.

It was extremely urgent, its eyes full of longing!

As Lin Shiming awoke, he had cultivated the Sword Art for over a year this time.

The two beasts had already emerged from seclusion half a year ago, and as for Beast Nurturing Pills and spirit beast meat, they had long been eaten.

The Red-haired Demon Monkey before him, at this moment, seemed to have shrunk to its smallest form to conserve energy, while the Golden Winged Mantis in the distance didn’t want to move an inch.

Even when Lin Shiming moved, it still chirped twice under the Tea Tree, and that was all!

The Red-haired Demon Monkey had broken through to the third-tier Middle Stage, and the Golden Winged Mantis had even reached the Peak of the third-tier Middle Stage, their cultivation levels even slightly higher than his.

The two beasts had made minor Breakthroughs, but they lacked sufficient Beast Nurturing Pills and spirit beast meat, and there were no other Spirit Beasts in the Grotto-heaven World for them to wreak havoc upon.

For a time, the two beasts were ravenous.

Lin Shiming also hurriedly took out Beast Nurturing Pills and a large amount of spirit beast meat. These were all prepared by the Family beforehand, and since he hadn’t gone out for over a year, he gave them all to the two beasts.

The Red-haired Demon Monkey immediately transformed into a three-zhang giant ape, its tail wagging high, wanting to devour everything.

Growing larger meant eating more, and faster!

With just a flash of golden light, two sharp scythes were already placed on the Red-haired Demon Monkey’s head. That speed was even more terrifying than a third-tier Late Stage flying Yao Beast.

The Red-haired Demon Monkey didn’t react at all.

It only felt the two golden scythes so dazzling, the golden triangular head staring with dark green vertical pupils.

It immediately let out two wails, full of disappointment, and shrunk back down.

Only then did the Golden Winged Mantis cease, and began to devour the Beast Nurturing Pills and spirit beast meat on its own.

The Red-haired Demon Monkey helplessly started eating from the side, but its small hands were still restlessly fiddling, trying to push as much as possible towards its front.

Lin Shiming watched for a moment, then chuckled softly, shaking his head and no longer bothering with them.

Both beasts were his Spirit Beasts, and even if they sparred, they would hold back, so he had no need to worry.

He walked to the Mingxin Tea Tree; the tree was still the same, sickly, as if it hadn’t recovered, and communicating with the Spirit Contract yielded no effective feedback.

He stepped forward again, injecting some Purple Wood True Essence, making the Spirit Tree appear to have more abundant Spirit Light before stopping.

”Come, come!” However, a more urgent call came from the Snake Egg. At this moment, the surface of the Snake Egg already had tiny web-like cracks, and Spirit Light was seeping out, as if hatching was imminent.

But if one looked closely, one would find that the Snake Egg’s shell still seemed somewhat sturdy.

The Snake Egg’s emotional fluctuations were still extremely urgent, and carried a sense of resentment like that of a deeply secluded maiden.

It seemed to be blaming Lin Shiming for paying attention to it so late, that after his seclusion, he had taken care of all the other Spirit Beasts but not it.

Its delicious stones were all eaten too!

”Don’t worry, there’s some for you!” Lin Shiming comforted it, then took out three High-Grade Spirit Stones and placed them in the Snake Egg’s nest.

Only then was the latter satisfied, and immediately sent back affectionate emotional fluctuations.

It seemed to be praising him in a way he didn’t understand!

Lin Shiming didn’t think much of it, but instead looked at some of the spiritual plants. The Little Divine Tree, needless to say, was still the same, its height unchanged.

On the contrary, the Tian Ling Fruit Tree’s flowers were even more vibrant.

As for the two Golden Thunder Bamboos, one was already over three zhang tall, and the smaller one, born during the Wood Demon’s Undergoing Tribulation, was currently only a little over three inches long.

However, the lightning was not weak; as it circulated, there were bursts of thunder.

And those three yuan forging spirit flowers had just sprouted, and would take a long time to mature.

After observing for a while and finding no abnormalities,

He also began to infuse his own True Essence into each spiritual plant.

The cultivation speed of the Purple Wood Heart Sutra, as his cultivation improved, became more helpful for low-grade spiritual plants.

Based on his current estimation for the Tian Ling Fruit Tree, it could reduce the maturation time by three times, but for the Little Divine Tree and Golden Thunder Bamboo, the effect was much weaker.

Thinking of this, he estimated that perhaps not many Cultivators in the Qingxuan Sect cultivated the Purple Wood Heart Sutra, as constantly delivering True Essence to spiritual plants would leave no time for Cultivation.

The reason he could Cultivate without delay was due to his condensed True Essence, the Heavenly Wood Spirit Planting Secret Method, and his unknown latent spiritual body.

But he thought that if their Lin Family could have a group of Cultivators who cultivated the Purple Wood Heart Sutra and could Cultivate spiritual plants, then their Lin Family’s growth speed would be a step faster.

However, he had made an oath of the heavenly dao regarding the Purple Wood Heart Sutra, so he couldn’t pass it on to the Lin Family.

Otherwise, there were quite a few Cultivators with wood Spiritual Roots in their Lin Family.

After checking the Grotto-heaven World, Lin Shiming also looked at the Spirit Devouring Ants.

The eighty-one Spirit Devouring Ants were now palm-sized, all second-tier Peak Yao Beasts.

Unfortunately, even the Lin Family, having searched all the auction houses, and his Seventh Grand Uncle having searched for three years, still hadn’t found any third-tier spiritual ants.

Therefore, the Ancestral Return Secret Method could not be carried out. Fortunately, the Wind Fire Star Sand had all been consumed by this group of Spirit Devouring Ants, so much so that they could even be called Sand Devouring Ants.

In addition, they had consumed many Beast Nurturing Pills, and each one had a greatly distended belly.

On the other hand, the zijin gourd had now become an ordinary top-grade Magical Artifact. The large gourd was a fire-attributed top-grade Magical Artifact, and the small gourd was a wind-attributed High Grade Magical Artifact.

If Lin Houwei’s cultivation improved in the future, it would be good to give it to his Thirteenth Uncle.

Thinking this, Lin Shiming’s mind stirred, and he left the Grotto-heaven World.

Outside his Immortal Cave, it was already covered with spiritual talismans.

Because Lin Shiming had publicly declared that he was in a death seclusion, Family resources and important matters were communicated via sound transmission talismans outside his Formation, and Storage Pouches would also be placed nearby, waiting for him to emerge from seclusion to retrieve them.

At this time, there were nearly ten Storage Pouches, almost one every two months.

Inside the Storage Pouches were Beast Nurturing Pills and Mianyang Pills.

There were also various spirit beast meats, and even a few mantis corpses and Yao Beast carcasses among them.

Clearly, the Family was still doing its utmost to help him.

And many people had left sound transmission talismans: one from Seventh Grand Uncle, one from his father Lin Houyuan, and over a dozen from Lin Shitao!

Lin Shitao’s were intermittent, each sound transmission talisman explaining what was in the Storage Pouch, and at the end, always adding the latest Medicinal Pills the Family could refine.

If he could use them, the Family would also refine them with all their might.

From these words, it was not difficult to see earnest concern, and his heart couldn’t help but warm.

His father Lin Houyuan’s sound transmission talisman concerned the Family’s recent situation. Over the past five years, the Shuangmu Island had begun to raise Mystic Water Turtles and Azure Armor Crabs, but the cycle was too long. The mining of Gintetsu Crystal and gold-iron stone was extremely smooth, but on the Family’s side, Artifact Refining and Alchemy had been delayed because of him.

Although the yuan magnetic stone was not abundant, because he restrained the Five Elements, even compression and refining were extremely difficult, only barely completed half a year ago.

It took over four years, during which Lin Houfei and Lin Shizhong also used the Detailed Explanation of Array Instruments to temper it.

Of course, it was only a rudimentary small mountain Magical Artifact. As for carving spiritual Formations, any Five Elements attribute spiritual patterns could not remain on the yuan magnetic stone.

Lin Xianzhi’s transmission was a month ago, at which time, Xie An had visited once and informed Lin Xianzhi and Lin Shiming of the impending opening of the Mysterious Grade Secret Realm.

Lin Shiming opened the Formation, only to see the Green Lotus Pond, with lush green lotuses and countless lotus flowers.

Inside the pavilion, a young man sat quietly.

Before him, a large chess game was slowly progressing.

The young man’s face was calm and composed, serene and elegant, completely unbefitting his age.

Lin Shiming immediately rejoiced. He knew that his Seventh Grand Uncle, the old Clan Leader of the Lin Family, had truly returned this time.

”Seventh Grand Uncle!”

He stepped out and landed in front of Lin Xianzhi, confidently taking a seat.

Seventh Grand Uncle held the white pieces, Lin Shiming held the black pieces.

The two were as if by tacit understanding, saying no more words.

Only confidence, each influencing the other.

After a long time, the game ended.

”We set off in half a month!” Lin Xianzhi said.

”Good!” Lin Shiming nodded. It would take at least half a month for their Lin Family to reach the Qingxuan Sect, and they also needed to arrive at the Secret Realm early.

Firstly, Zi Xuan Sanren would still meet with them, and secondly, they could also get some news in advance.

In addition, an attendant from the Laiyue Restaurant had arranged for Lin Xianzhi to conspire to obtain the Materials for the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid.

For the Lin Family, the Spirit Communication Sword was a minor matter; the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid Materials were the most important.

They had the Pill Formula for the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, and if they could obtain a portion, it would be possible for the Lin Family to truly produce a Purple Mansion Cultivator.

”This time, six Sects will participate, and the Three Sects of Zhao Country will form an offensive and defensive alliance!” Lin Xianzhi continued to introduce.

Lin Shiming also nodded; they had speculated about these matters before, so they were somewhat mentally prepared.

If it had been five years ago, he would still have been hesitant, but now, that mentality had long changed.

Since they had done their best, they only needed to obey the will of the Heavenly Dao.

They had made so many preparations that even if they were outmatched in the Secret Realm, they could still protect themselves.

He considered himself not pedantic.

After chatting with Seventh Grand Uncle, Lin Shiming also left the pavilion. As the Family Head, he also needed to go to the Family Hall to understand the Family’s recent situation.

At the same time, he also needed to make some plans for the Family.

At least before he and Lin Xianzhi returned from the Secret Realm, some preparations had to be made.

It should be known that at this moment, all matters were being handled by his father, the former Family Head.

Although there were many Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the Lin Family, there were not many who could truly handle affairs.

And in order to ensure Lin Shiming’s stable Cultivation for these five years, Lin Houyuan had even suppressed the urge to Breakthrough, and stubbornly did not go into seclusion!
