Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

318: Celebration Preaching, Wind of Resurrection (three-in-one plus update for Meteor of the End)The entire Lightning Tribulation Pool was a foot in diameter. Even though Lin Shiming’s Physical Body broke through to the Purple Mansion and absorbed most of it, a small portion still remained inside, glittering with Spirit Light, and the constantly flickering lightning arcs ignited dense Spiritual Qi.

The Lightning Tribulation Liquid obtained by a Cultivator who successfully passes a Lightning Tribulation is usually only enough for recovery, and even if there is a surplus, it is not much.

But this time, Lin Shiming had undergone two Lightning Tribulations, and the Lightning Tribulation Liquid also accumulated, especially the second Lightning Tribulation, which was more than twice the first!

Only this little bit was left because Lin Shiming was on the verge of breaking through to the Purple Mansion just now and absorbed too much, and his Physical Body also broke through to the Purple Mansion. Otherwise, there would have been even more Lightning Tribulation Liquid remaining.

However, the characteristics of Lightning Tribulation Liquid prevent it from being preserved. If it is not absorbed, it will dissipate completely within three hours and return to nature.

When Lin Shiming spoke, Lin Xianzhi did not act, but instead looked at Shijie, Shitao, and finally at Lin Shilei and Lei Xuan with a warm expression.

”Shijie, Shitao, Shilei, and Lei Xuan, you go!” Lin Xianzhi’s words naturally had his considerations. He was already a Purple Mansion Cultivator, not a Body Cultivator, so the Lightning Tribulation Liquid would not be of much benefit to him.

Instead, giving it to Geniuses like Lin Shitao and Lin Shijie would maximize the use of the Lightning Tribulation Liquid.

One must know that Lightning Tribulation Liquid also has the effect of cleansing the marrow and refining the meridians, which is enough to fully demonstrate the wonderful use of Lin Shitao and Lin Shijie’s dual Spiritual Roots. Of course, Lin Zekong and Lin Zecheng also have dual Spiritual Roots, but they are still only in the Qi Refinement Stage.

As for Lei Xuan, he was a little stunned, obviously not expecting that he, a Cultivator who married into the Family, would also be selected for such a precious Opportunity.

The Lightning Tribulation Liquid was already scarce, and it wasn’t given to Body Cultivators like Lin Yuqing or Lin Houshou, nor to Lin Shiming’s biological father, but fell upon him.

Lei Xuan looked around hesitantly. He was not someone who didn’t understand propriety, but at this moment, he was indeed tempted by the Lightning Tribulation Liquid.

”Lei Xuan, do you have any objections?” Lin Xianzhi spoke again. Only then did Lei Xuan put aside his doubts. Filled with gratitude, he strode into the Lightning Tribulation Pool.

At this moment, he had no regrets about having married into the Lin Family.

The Foundation Establishment Pill was not withheld from him, and now the Lightning Tribulation Liquid was not withheld from him. Such a Family was worth his devotion.

As the four, Lin Shijie, entered, Lin Shiming also rushed out of the Lightning Tribulation Pool.

Upon entering the Lightning Tribulation Pool, Lin Shilei and Lei Xuan’s absorption speed was significantly faster than Lin Shijie and Lin Shitao’s. As Cultivators with Lightning Spiritual Roots who also Cultivated Lightning Spiritual Root Cultivation Techniques, their advantage was too great.

Out of the Lightning Tribulation Pool, Lin Shiming could truly begin to consolidate himself after the major Breakthrough. His Divine Soul had completely formed and settled within his Purple Mansion. He now felt that using the Soul Splitting Blade, he could directly kill Peak Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

The gap between Purple Mansion and Foundation Establishment was truly too vast, and this didn’t even account for the fact that after Purple Mansion, he could finally refine Magic Treasures.

At that time, his strength would increase by another large margin.

Besides that, he clenched his fist, and a sonic boom, like a clap of thunder, resounded. This was without even activating the Spirit Light of the Mountain Ape Body Refining Art.

And once he Cultivated the supporting secret technique of the Mountain Ape Body Refining Art, his Body Refining strength would also be able to hold its own among Purple Mansion Cultivators.

As he thought of this, Lin Shiming felt a bit helpless again. Even though he had broken through to the Purple Mansion Stage, he found that time was still insufficient. Refining Magic Treasures, searching for soul suppressing stones, refining the Soul Suppressing Tower, and Cultivating the third style of the Heavenly Severing Sword Art, or the Magic Treasure Sword Grass seeds given by Taiyi, any of these tasks required a vast amount of time.

Two hours passed, and the four had absorbed all the Lightning Tribulation Liquid in the Lightning Tribulation Pool, leaving not a single drop. The four emerged from the pool, their bodies still glowing with blue Spirit Light.

Their entire body’s True Essence, however, fluctuated up and down. This was because their cultivation had greatly increased, and they hadn’t had time to stabilize it!

”Thank you, Seventh Uncle!”

”Thank you, Seventh Brother!” All four bowed to Lin Shiming. With this Opportunity from the Lightning Tribulation Pool, they even felt that they could continue to the next Realm without encountering any Bottlenecks in their Cultivation.

”Congratulations, Shiming, on achieving Purple Mansion! Our Lin Family now has two Purple Mansion Cultivators!”

”This is truly joyous! The Family will celebrate for three more days in half a month!” Lin Xianzhi said with a slight smile and a clear voice. Just as Lin Shiming had proactively offered his congratulations then, he now proactively congratulated Lin Shiming.

Purple Mansion, a cause for celebration!

As for whether he was a Junior, he didn’t care at all!

”Shiming, what Daoist name do you wish to take?”

”Seventh Grand Uncle, Thousand Wood, I suppose. After all, I am a wood-attribute Cultivator!” Lin Shiming hesitated for a moment before speaking.

He had many choices; Taiyi and Mountain Ape were both suitable, but in his opinion, the more low-key Thousand Wood was better.

And all the Lin Family Cultivators on the island began to chant:

”Congratulations to Daoist Thousand Wood on his successful Breakthrough!”

”Congratulations to Daoist Thousand Wood on his successful Breakthrough!”

...The shouts lasted for a full quarter of an hour, and only dispersed when Lin Xianzhi waved his hand.

The spoils of war from the beast tide just now had not yet been collected. One must know that this time, the Lin Family had also killed two Fourth-Tier Cloud Tiger Sharks. Whether it was the Yao Beast’s flesh and blood, Artifact Refining Materials, or the possible Yao Beast Inner Cores, they were all a considerable amount of wealth.

As the crowd dispersed, Lin Xianzhi walked up to Lin Shiming and took out his Storage Pouch.

”Shiming, try this sword!” Lin Xianzhi said.

Lin Shiming took the Storage Pouch, and saw a wood-attribute Magic Treasure sword lying inside. Although it was only a Fourth-Tier Low Grade, after being nourished in the Purple Mansion for a period of time, it would be incomparably more powerful than a Third-Tier Magical Artifact.

”Thank you, Seventh Grand Uncle!” Lin Shiming quickly thanked him.

This Magic Treasure was obviously purchased, and even within the Ten Thousand Swords Sect’s territory, it would probably cost over a million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Most importantly, Lin Xianzhi had bought it for him in advance, so he wouldn’t have to worry about not having a treasure to use before he set out.

After bidding farewell to Lin Xianzhi, Lin Shiming also greeted Lin Shijie and the others. After greeting each of them, he looked at Lin Shitao and Lin Houyuan.

One was his Dao Companion, the other his father.

Both of them were genuinely happy for Lin Shiming. With the Purple Mansion, he would have a lifespan of a full five hundred years.

”Father, Shitao, I’ve made you worry!” Lin Shiming smiled apologetically. This time, he hadn’t expected it to be a double Lightning Tribulation. If the System hadn’t prompted him for a while, he wouldn’t even dare to imagine the consequences.

”It’s good that you broke through safely!” Lin Houyuan also said solemnly. Just now, he and Lin Shitao were definitely the two most anxious people. The more one was a Cultivator, the more one revered the power of nature.

After comforting him for a while, both of them also bid farewell.

Lin Shiming had just broken through to the Purple Mansion, so he naturally needed to consolidate his Realm.

Lin Shiming also returned to his Immortal Cave and began to go into seclusion. The further one went, the more one emphasized accumulating strength before making a big push.

Although the Lightning Tribulation Liquid had also helped him consolidate his Realm, in his opinion, both the Lightning Tribulation Liquid and the Purple Cloud Spiritual Qi were not obtained through Cultivation, and thus had some superficiality.

This time, it lasted for a full half month. As the Kui Wood Sword Scripture’s circulation of the heavens ended, Lin Shiming also opened his eyes, and a terrifying Divine Sense power naturally emanated outwards.

The sky above Shuangmu Island, at some unknown time, once again displayed purple auspicious clouds.

He was a little stunned at first, but then he chuckled. These auspicious clouds were condensed by the Lin Family Cultivators’ Spells.

And this time, his Purple Mansion celebration was even more lavish than Lin Xianzhi’s celebration.

Whether in terms of layout or the number of Cultivators attending this celebration, it far surpassed previous ones.

Without the worry of High-Grade Spirit Stones, the Lin Family also summoned most of the Ze Generation Geniuses to Shuangmu Island.

There were currently over two hundred Cultivators here.

Among the Ze Generation, in addition to Lin Zekong and Lin Zecheng, another female Cultivator with dual Spiritual Roots, Lin Zeli, also appeared.

The surface of Yunzhou, however, still maintained the appearance of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Family.

Lin Shiming walked out of the stone chamber and came to the Lin Family’s architectural complex on Shuangmu Island. At this moment, the celebration scene had basically been arranged. On the tables were various Spirit Fruits, water spirit coconuts, ling tao (spirit peaches), monkey wine, and qing ling wine.

In the center of the tables were Spirit Plates, covering the Red Spirit Fish Spirit Cuisine, Blood Crocodile Spirit Cuisine, and Shuangmu Island’s unique Mystic Spirit Turtle Spirit Cuisine, all renowned dishes from the Lin Family Restaurant.

The sheer variety of dishes made many Family Cultivators salivate.

This scale was also the largest in the Lin Family’s history, with every bite costing countless Spirit Stones.

His father, Lin Houyuan, was still in charge of the arrangements. At this moment, as Lin Shiming arrived, Lin Xianzhi also arrived almost simultaneously from a distance, and the celebration officially began.

The various Lin Family members each presented gifts, some being rare Third-Tier Spirit Medicine, while others were rare Artifact Refining Materials.

These, of course, meant nothing to Lin Shiming, but they were the heartfelt intentions of the Lin Family members.

Lin Xianzhi also presented two Fourth-Tier inner cores from the Cloud Tiger Shark.

Lin Shiming accepted them with a joyful expression, then began to give a Dao lecture, while the guests all took their seats. This was also a rule of the celebration!

Whether it was a Foundation Establishment celebration, a Purple Mansion celebration, or even a Golden Core celebration, it was always like this.

As the auspicious clouds and fireworks lit up the sky, huge banners also appeared on both sides of the Dao platform.

Lin Shiming sat on a meditation cushion and began to preach the Dao.

And as he began to preach, an astonishing scene unfolded: all the Cultivators listened with rapt attention, not a single Family member having any other thoughts.

Even Lin Xianzhi, who was nearby, had a slight change in expression.

Eight years ago, he had also hosted a celebration and lectured on the Dao. At that time, there were only fifty or sixty people observing, but even those fifty or sixty people were somewhat lost in thought by what he spoke.

This was normal, after all, most Cultivators Cultivated on their own and rarely taught Disciples. After breaking through to Purple Mansion, generally only Foundation Establishment Cultivators understood more of what was said.

But at this moment, from the very first word, Lin Shiming’s lecture immersed everyone present.

Even Lin Xianzhi found many points of sudden inspiration within it.

He even felt a pang of regret, realizing that his previous Cultivation had actually been incorrect!

Lin Shiming looked at the scene before him without surprise. He had Cultivated for a full sixty years, and every day he would receive System prompts, most of which became theoretical Cultivation guidance.

Many of his understandings had been corrected by System prompts, which was why he was able to Cultivate to the Purple Mansion so quickly. Some of his insights, when brought out, were equally applicable to the Cultivators present.

Even some Golden Core Cultivators would be amazed by how Lin Shiming’s explanations were simple and easy to understand, yet went straight to the point!

And the most terrifying thing was that he himself was not only a Sword Cultivator, but also a Body Cultivator, and could also be classified as a wood-attribute Spell Cultivator.

Therefore, his lectures on the Dao were even more comprehensive.

At this moment, everyone even forgot about the spirit wine and Spirit Cuisine, focusing intently on Lin Shiming’s lecture.

From Innate to Qi Refining Stage First Level, then to Qi Refining Stage Second Level, and even Late Foundation Establishment Stage.

Lin Shiming explained level by level, benefiting every Cultivator. This lecture directly lasted for three full days.

From sunrise to sunset, they completely forgot the passage of time!

When Lin Shiming finished his explanation, everyone felt a sense of longing.

Many Cultivators even began to sit cross-legged and Cultivate, as if they had gained insights, were verifying them, and were also on the verge of a Breakthrough!

Lin Shiming’s pause also caused one person to frown. Lin Xian Zhi, at this moment, felt a bit eager. Lin Shiming had lectured up to Peak Foundation Establishment but did not speak of the Purple Mansion.

However, he then thought better of it and smiled wryly. Lin Shiming had only just broken through to the Purple Mansion, so how could he speak of its mysteries!

Most of the Cultivators who stopped listening began to sit cross-legged and Cultivate for a while before getting up, picking up the spirit wine, and starting to eat the now slightly cooled Spirit Cuisine.

Seeing this, Lin Houyuan arranged for the Spirit Cuisine Master to come out again and reheat all the Spirit Cuisine.

Everyone’s expressions were a bit strange; it was the first time a celebration had ended without anyone touching the Spirit Cuisine on the tables!

At other celebrations, Cultivators would have already started moving!

And at this moment, he even saw many Lin Family members who seemed to be still hoping Lin Shiming would lecture again!

”Many thanks, Seventh Brother, for your lecture!”

”Many thanks, Seventh Uncle, for your lecture!”

”Many thanks, Daoist, for your lecture!”

...As a Shi Generation Cultivator began to express gratitude, the other Cultivators also spoke up one after another.

The Shi Generation almost all called him Seventh Brother, the Ze Generation called him Seventh Uncle or Seventh Grand Uncle, and the Hou Generation and the sole Yu Generation Cultivator, Lin Yuqing, naturally addressed him as Daoist.

Lin Shiming also nodded. He scanned the stage below and waved his hands, creating barriers to isolate the Cultivators who were in Epiphany.

Only then did he raise his cup and drink with everyone.

While drinking, he also went to Lin Houwei’s table. Looking at Lin Houwei, he remembered the turtle spirit coconut spirit wine.

”Thirteenth Uncle, how is the research on the spirit wine coming along?”

”We can already produce High Grade Tier 3 turtle spirit coconut. As for Tier 4, it’s not yet possible!” Lin Houwei, hearing Lin Shiming ask, proudly took out a wine gourd and handed it to Lin Shiming.

Ever since occupying Spirit Turtle Island, the Lin Family had no shortage of Tier 3 Mystic Spirit Turtles, and over a hundred water spirit coconut trees had been transplanted from Sea Bird Island!

”Tier 2 turtle spirit coconut has also been produced!” Lin Houwei thought for a moment and added.

After all, few in the Lin Family could consume Tier 3 spirit wine.

”Good!” Lin Shiming was overjoyed. With this batch of Tier 2 turtle spirit coconut, he couldn’t help but look forward to when the Lin Family’s first Heavenly Spiritual Root Cultivator would appear!

And the High Grade Tier 3 turtle spirit coconut would be enough for him to trade with the Azure Cloud Fox Yao Race female next time.

As for Tier 4 turtle spirit coconut, even if he had it, he wouldn’t take it out for trade!

After learning of the turtle spirit coconut’s success, Lin Shiming was ecstatic. He then inquired about Lin Houshou’s progress in researching the Teleportation Array before leaving.

He left Lin Houyuan, the three Hou Generation members, and the one Yu Generation Cultivator, Lin Yuqing, at their table.

Lin Shiming then went to Lin Shitao’s table, exchanged pleasantries, and also asked Lin Shijie to arrange for these newly advanced Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Lin Family to try out the Sword Pavilion.

Perhaps they could even produce another Sword Cultivator for the Family. With Sword Intent, reaching the Sword Qi Manifestation Realm essentially allows one to fight above their Realm.

With the Sword Pavilion and sword carving stone steps, he naturally hoped for more Sword Cultivators in the Lin Family.

Lin Shilei raised his wine cup, somewhat excitedly toasting Lin Shiming, his eyes full of admiration and gratitude.

Lin Yuqing had survived and even achieved Foundation Establishment; this was simply a miracle in the entire Lin Family. Lin Shilei was one of only three people who knew the truth. The others only knew that Lin Yuqing had forcefully broken through to Foundation Establishment as a Body Cultivator.

Only he and Lin Yuqing knew what precious treasure he had used!

”Keep it up!” Lin Shiming also patted Lin Shilei’s shoulder, then looked at Lei Xuan.

”Cultivate well, treat my third sister well. I haven’t forgotten that promise!” Lin Shiming transmitted his voice directly this time.

After he finished speaking, Lei Xuan froze in place, then reacted.

He had never expected Lin Shiming to still remember the feud between their Lei Family and the Zhang Family. In fact, for over forty years, and with a daughter in the Lin Family, he had forcefully suppressed his desire for revenge. It was precisely this suppression that made his cultivation speed extremely inconsistent with his abnormal Spiritual Root.

His current progress was even below Lin Shilei’s.

”Cultivate well, lest you don’t even have the qualifications to act when the time comes!” Lin Shiming spoke again.

And Lei Xuan nodded fiercely. At this moment, his heart completely belonged to the Lin Family.

He saw a glimmer of hope for the long-standing feud that had been suppressed for countless years!

Lin Shiming ignored Lei Xuan and moved on.

He had once promised to eliminate the Zhang Family. With his strength, confronting the Zhang Family’s Free Spirit Yunling was not far off. Moreover, the latter constantly refined Magic Treasures, which was also a scourge for the Azure Cloud Fox Yao Race!

One must know that if the Yao Race of the Qingyun Mountain Range launched a beast tide, Yunzhou would be the first to suffer.

Furthermore, the Zhang Family seemed to have many Magic Treasures. For the Lin Family, which lacked a Tier 4 Artifact Refiner, both Legacy and Magic Treasures were much-needed items.

At the next table were Lin Shijin, Lin Shiyun, and Lin Shizhong—a Talisman Master, a Formation Master, and an Artifact Refiner.

”Congratulations, Seventh Brother!” The three quickly said.

Lin Shiming nodded, looking at them somewhat strangely. There was a clear hint of melancholy between their brows.

This was uncommon in the past. Moreover, these three were the Lin Family’s future Tier 3 skill masters.

However, the next moment, he noticed that the three’s spiritual energy was incredibly solid, clearly having been polished for many years, yet there were still no signs of Foundation Establishment.

”Does the Family not have any Foundation Establishment Pills now?” Lin Shiming asked, somewhat surprised.

Given their status, they shouldn’t be lacking in contribution points to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills.

”Not for now!” All three shook their heads.

”All the Family’s Foundation Establishment Pills have been exchanged, and now with the great changes in Yunzhou, the Family Head cannot purchase Foundation Establishment Pills!”

Hearing this, Lin Shiming’s brows furrowed even tighter.

”Shiyun, tell me all the details.”

He had been in seclusion for nearly twenty years. Seven years ago, he went to Yunzhou once, but it was a hurried trip, so he didn’t know much about the situation in Yunzhou.

”Seventh Brother, the number of Foundation Establishment Families in Yunzhou has now increased several times, and there are five Late Foundation Establishment Stage Families comparable to the Chen Family. They all claim to have established their Families as Loose Cultivators and have repeatedly bid high prices at the Qingyun City Auction, leaving our Lin Family no chance!”

”Furthermore, many Immortal Cultivation Families are now merging with each other. Even the Zhang Family and Chen Family are expanding recklessly!” Lin Shiyun added.

Lin Shiming’s brows furrowed even tighter. Yunzhou was already in chaos, which also meant that the entire Eastern Region would soon be in disarray.

He didn’t believe that these newly emerged Foundation Establishment Families were all founded by Loose Cultivators!

And the Qingyun Sect’s failure to interfere also indicated some issues.

Whether it was a test or a counter-test, his Cultivation needed to accelerate even more.

”I’ll find a way for the Foundation Establishment Pills!” Lin Shiming said, and Lin Shiyun and the other two were immediately overjoyed. All three of them were already approaching sixty. If they didn’t break through soon, they would have to consume dragon blood pills.

The Lin Family had no formula for dragon blood pills, nor did they have Dragon beasts. After Lin Houyong and Lin Houyuan used the last two, they were out of stock.

Of course, the former two also successfully broke through to Foundation Establishment, adding two more Foundation Establishment Cultivators to the Lin Family!

Lin Shiming then looked at Lin Zekong, Lin Zecheng, and Lin Zelu. All three were now Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level Cultivators, polishing their spiritual energy. There were many others like them, mostly from the Shi Generation.

After the celebration, Lin Shiming strode away, heading towards the Grotto-heaven World.

He walked to the Tian Ling Fruit Tree. The spirit fruit tree was now in full bloom, but even so, it would still take twenty to thirty years for it to truly bear fruit.

Sensing Lin Shiming’s arrival, Wang Jiao Red Hair also came over.

Lin Shiming sat down on the spot, extending his hands. His Purple Mansion Divine Soul carefully sensed, and his spirit platform also began to glow. Countless green spirit patterns lit up from his spirit platform, each one more dazzling than the last.

The next moment, his entire body began to erupt with true essence surging from his Dao veins.

A faint green hurricane gently drifted out.

As the hurricane drifted out, Lin Shiming felt his entire body grow weak!

And the Tian Ling Fruit Tree before him, in the blink of an eye, began to sway its leaves, and countless Spirit Light gathered. The spiritual energy of the Spiritual Vein between heaven and earth all rushed towards the spirit fruit tree.

It was as if a Cultivator was breaking through, absorbing an unknown amount of spiritual energy.

Then it began to shed its flowers, bear fruit, and ripen!

In an instant, six heavenly spirit fruits hung on the tree and began to fall off when ripe!

Lin Shiming quickly took out a jade box and caught the six heavenly spirit fruits.

At once, he was incredibly shocked. His Minor Divine Ability was indeed for ripening (catalyzing ripening), and its effect reached one hundred years with a single use.

The Wind of Rejuvenation did not stop; it continued to drift towards the Golden Thunder Bamboo. Clearly, the heavenly spirit fruit was not enough to exhaust its power.

The main Golden Thunder Bamboo immediately began to grow taller section by section, changing from two sections after decades to three sections. This also meant that the Golden Thunder Bamboo had reached the hundred-year Golden Thunder Bamboo level and could be used as Magic Treasure Materials!

Countless bolts of lightning intertwined on the Golden Thunder Bamboo, crackling with electric arcs. Even the small Golden Thunder Bamboo was now almost identical to the large bamboo before it was catalyzed!

Moreover, just then, the third Golden Thunder Bamboo shoot began to appear.

And the third Golden Thunder Bamboo appeared!

Lin Shiming was overjoyed. He had never expected his Minor Divine Ability to be so powerful. However, the next moment, he discovered that the spirit patterns of this Minor Divine Ability were extremely difficult to restore.

Roughly estimated, it would probably take at least five years before he could use it again!

However, given its power, let alone five years, even ten years, Lin Shiming could accept it. Once every ten years, it would increase the lifespan by a hundred years.

In the future, the Lin Family would no longer lack Foundation Establishment Pills, and perhaps one day, they would no longer lack fu ling fire mulberry fruit and taiqing purple jade fruit!
