Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

351: The spiritual veins contain treasures and the first ascension to the heavenly phenomenaAt Thousand Wood Peak on Shuangmu Island, at the end of a mountain full of peach trees.

Lin Shiming stepped onto the highest peak, finally landing at a lava vent.

The boiling magma continuously bubbled, and the terrifying high temperature scorched the entire cave entrance!

This place was precisely where the Fourth-Order fire attribute Spiritual Vein was located.

Even though the Yan Yang Sword had absorbed most of its Spiritual Qi, the pure fire attribute Spiritual Vein still gushed with abundant Spiritual Qi.

The fire attribute Spiritual Power formed manifested as bundleof Spirit Light, rising from the magma, with some being drawn out and some scattering!

Within the lava pool, on several molten rock pillars, sparkling crystals shimmered, forming several Spiritual Qi vortexes.

The faint outline of flame crystal could still be seen; this Spiritual Vein area was also transformed according to the secret method left by the Duan Family Cultivator.

It could increase the birth speed of flame crystal; if it was normally one every three years, now it would be two every three years.

Of course, more importantly, such a setup could be combined with the secret method of Spiritual Vein Nurturing Treasure!

Lin Shiming now had two Soul Suppressing Towers. To form more powerful Soul Suppressing Towers and achieve better Soul Suppressing effects, he would inevitably need to refine more in the future.

The biggest limitation of a Lifebound Treasure was that it required Purple Mansion Realm nurturing.

Since Lin Shiming began to Cultivate, his greatest concern had always been insufficient Cultivation time.

This limitation was also why Purple Mansion Cultivators and Golden Core Cultivators often used very few sets of Magic Treasure, and even fewer sets of Lifebound Treasure.

Lin Shiming sat before the Spiritual Vein but did not immediately cast spells. Instead, he took out the Formation Plate that came with the secret method obtained from the Duan Family Cultivator.

He then placed the Jade Slip, inscribed with the secret method, on his forehead and reviewed it several times.

During this period, the System prompted him twice, perfecting the secret method twice.

On the third day, Lin Shiming opened his eyes. Seeing that no more prompts appeared, he took a deep breath, and the Formation Plates in his hand flew one by one into the magma, with countless True Essence poured into them!

Within the Formation Plate, countless Spirit Lights began to move towards the depths of the magma, somewhat similar to the spell Lin Xian Zhi used when collecting the Spiritual Vein.

However, it was clearly much simpler.

Roar!

A long roar echoed, and a fire attribute Dragon shadow appeared within the Spiritual Vein, swimming in the magma.

The Dragon shadow was entirely composed of fire attribute Spiritual Qi, magnificent and majestic, not much different from the manifestation of a Dragon Vein, though its Aura was much weaker.

The Dragon shadow occasionally roared and occasionally darted out, accompanied by rising magma, erupting from the ground and then falling, with floating bubbles bursting one by one, releasing scalding hot air, and the temperature increased sharply once again.

Lin Shiming no longer hesitated, and the Soul Suppressing Tower in his hand immediately flew out, circling above the magma.

It was now the final stage of Spiritual Vein Nurturing Treasure, activating the Spiritual Formation, and countless Spiritual Incantations were cast once more.

Because he had pondered it several times beforehand, and with the System’s prompts, this time the Spiritual Incantations were extremely smooth.

The Soul Suppressing Tower transformed into a half-person-tall size, quietly floating above the molten magma.

The Dragon shadow also began to continuously spew Spiritual Qi towards the Soul Suppressing Tower.

Covered by the spewed Spiritual Qi, it slowly permeated the tower body.

The Soul Suppressing Tower also faintly glowed with Spirit Light, dimming and brightening, constantly flashing.

Spiritual Vein Nurturing Treasure, complete!

Lin Shiming’s eyes lit up, and he let out a long breath, finally feeling relieved. However, he also saw that a Fourth-Order Low Grade Spiritual Vein could at most nurture one Magic Treasure. If another one were added, the speed would be unbearable.

If he wanted to complete the nurturing of his set of Lifebound Treasure, the Lin Family would need more Fourth-Order pure Spiritual Veins.

Especially, after his Star Spirit Shell broke through, it would also need to devour Fourth-Order spirit water and spirit soil, which immediately gave him a headache.

He originally thought that the Lin Family having three Fourth-Order Spiritual Veins was enough, but now it seemed there was a huge shortage of Spiritual Veins!

The only good news was that the Coral Alliance, where they were located, belonged to the Outer Sea area. Many places had not been surveyed by Cultivators, or the Purple Mansion Great Demon were simply not something ordinary Cultivators could deal with, so there were quite a few Spiritual Veins there.

Furthermore, in the South Sea Cultivation World, the sale of Spiritual Veins was even more common!

It was not uncommon at the Auction. Although a Fourth-Order Spiritual Vein might not be bought at once, buying many Third-Order Spiritual Veins could also form a Fourth-Order Spiritual Vein.

Lin Shiming slightly closed his eyes and began to recover his True Essence. Half an hour later, a Spirit Talisman flew out and landed in Lin Shiming’s hand.

Lin Shiming also rose and headed towards the Family Council Great Hall.

Inside the Council Great Hall, Lin Houyuan, Lin Houyuan, Lin Xian Zhi, Lin Shizhong, and Lin Houxuan were all present.

This time, the Family was discussing going to Tianxiang Island’s Celestial Elephant Market to truly take over the Alchemy Pavilion, Artifact Refining Pavilion, and restaurant in the central area!

Instead of, like before, only selling some Second-Order Magical Artifact and Second-Order Medicinal Pill on the outskirts!

Not only were the profits meager, but it also couldn’t make it to Tianxiang Island’s main stage.

Of course, the Lin Family’s main focus this time was the Lin Family Restaurant.

The Alchemy Pavilion was the Ye Family’s main business, while the Artifact Refining Pavilion was the property of the Duan Family, one of the three Foundation Establishment Family, which included many Third-Order High Grade Artifact Refiners.

The Lin Family’s competitiveness was not enough. Currently, the main goal was to transform some collected Yao Beast Materials and Alchemy Materials into Spirit Pill and Spiritual Artifact, exchanging them for more suitable Cultivation resources.

The Lin Family Restaurant, with the Lin Family’s mingxin tea and Blood Crocodile Spirit Cuisine as its main offerings, had also developed Third-Order Azure Armor Crab and Third-Order Mysterious Turtle Spirit Cuisine as its signature dishes.

In terms of Spirit Cuisine, perhaps due to being near the sea, the Cultivators here were not very skilled.

This was also a major advantage for the Lin Family. In the future, it might even be possible to open restaurants on the islands of other Purple Mansion Realm forces, becoming an existence equivalent to the Laiyue Restaurant in Zhao Country!

One must know that in the South Sea Cultivation World, Spiritual objects and Spirit Beast Materials were far more abundant than in the Eastern Region. This also led to more Cultivation forces and Loose Cultivators here.

Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators, uncommon in the Eastern Region, were numerous here, and even Golden Core Loose Cultivators existed in the South Sea Cultivation World!

Most importantly, Tianxiang Island was located in the Outer Sea region. Every year, a large number of Cultivators from other sea areas came to hunt Yao Beast or search for treasures.

The flow of people was enormous.

”Ninth Brother, Shiming, this time all three shops will adopt a membership System and a commission System. In addition, customized Artifact Refining and Alchemy will also be launched...”

Lin Houyuan introduced the Family’s plan one by one.

Lin Houyuan and Lin Shiming both nodded. The latter’s plan had clearly been thought out for a long time. Ten years ago, the Lin Family began to establish contact with Tianxiang Island. For this day, Lin Houyuan had thought more than anyone else.

Even what to use for the restaurant’s first reception, how many people would be in the first batch of the membership System, and which forces to give it to, were all listed!

For Lin Houxuan and Lin Shizhong, it was even more eagerly anticipated.

The consequence of the Lin Family’s Alchemy Pavilion and Artifact Refining Pavilion not being open to the public was the accumulation of Second-Order Magical Artifact, Third-Order Magical Artifact, Medicinal Pill, and so on.

Meanwhile, Artifact Refining Materials and Alchemy Materials began to be scarce, and the Family’s Alchemist and Artifact Refiner had fewer opportunities to practice.

Now that customization opportunities were reopening, those Alchemist and Artifact Refiner in the Family who had been approved and rated could accept custom Artifact Refining and Alchemy, gaining experience while also earning extra Spirit Stone for Cultivation.

”Houyuan, this time there are a total of four core shops. The remaining one also needs to be opened to collect information and Spiritual Materials, as well as to release some commission tasks!”

”In addition, ten less important shops will be rented out, but half of them will be rented back in the name of Loose Cultivators. Our Foundation in the Coral Sea Area is still shallow, so we need to prepare both openly and secretly!” Lin Houyuan added, completely perfecting the plan, and Lin Houyuan also nodded.

”Father, this time the restaurant’s opening is still a bit too ordinary. Why not take out some Spirit Pearls to create some Cultivation rooms, for rent only, not for sale!” Lin Shiming spoke again.

The group of Spirit Shells raised by the Lin Family, under the circumstance of being heavily fed Beast Nurturing Pill, had even better breeding effects than Spirit Turtles and Spirit Crocodiles.

And a restaurant, naturally, wasn’t just for lodging. With the Spirit Gathering Formation and Spirit Pearls, by then, perhaps even those who came to the Lin Family’s shop to go into seclusion and Breakthrough would be present.

Along with Spirit Cuisine, spirit wine, and spirit tea, they could all be sold together!

The profits from this would once again increase significantly!

The vast Loose Cultivator market, coupled with the Lin Family’s unique Spirit Cuisine, spirit tea, and Cultivation rooms, would definitely allow the Lin Family’s financial income to improve rapidly.

As Lin Shiming said this, Lin Houyuan’s Face was full of pleasant surprise, almost high-fiving Lin Shiming!

He had wanted to do this for a long time, but after all, the Spirit Shells were a big deal, and the Family Cultivators’ Spirit Pearls were often scarce. If he proposed it, the Lin Family might not agree.

But with Lin Shiming proposing it, the matter was set in stone!

Lin Houyuan thought about it and also had no objections.

Not to mention that this plan was indeed very good, simply because this group of Spirit Shells was brought back by Lin Shiming, Lin Shiming had absolute decision-making power.

After discussing the Family’s development, everyone looked at Lin Shiyi, who was listening in a daze.

Lin Shiyi truly had little interest in the Family’s business and development. He had very few suggestions to offer, and most of the time, the Family assigned him tasks to complete.

If he weren’t the groom for this wedding, he wouldn’t be here for the discussion.

Lin Shiming even teased him, asking about how Lin Shiyi and Ye Yujiao met.

In the end, it turned out to be a classic hero saving the beauty scenario.

Lin Shiming couldn’t help but chuckle. The Cultivation World was inherently a place where the strong preyed on the weak, and strength was revered. Female Cultivators were naturally no exception.

This made Lin Shiyi blush repeatedly, standing stiffly and scratching his head.

That morning, the Lin Family Cultivators set off in a grand procession towards Tianxiang Island. The spirit boat they rode was a Third-Order High Grade spirit boat, adorned with red silk streamers, fluttering in the wind.

It was incredibly festive!

Whether it was the restaurant’s opening or the wedding, both were joyous occasions.

The Lin Family’s Cultivators were also beaming with joy. This trip to Tianxiang Island naturally included many young Ze Generation members of the Lin Family, most of whom were Alchemist and Artifact Refiner, with a smaller portion being some of the Lin Family’s Genius, who went to Tianxiang Island to broaden their horizons.

Lin Zeli and Lin Zewen were among them. The two had changed greatly these days, especially Lin Zeli, who had frequently visited the Sword Pavilion. Her Sword Intent now even had a hint of an outline.

Her Cultivation had also reached Qi Refining Eighth Layer. Coupled with a Spiritual Root similar to Lin Xian Zhi’s, among Qi Refining Cultivators, Lin Zeli’s significance to the Lin Family was no less than Lin Shiyuan, who possessed a mutated Spiritual Root.

Lin Zewen, who was already on a commercial path, naturally followed Lin Houyuan, humbly learning.

The distance to Tianxiang Island was not short. Along the way, the Lin Family also encountered many Yao Beast.

The Third-Order High Grade spirit boat traveled for a full three days.

Lin Shiming estimated that even if he fully piloted a Fourth-Order Treasure Boat, it would take a day to get from Shuangmu Island to Tianxiang Island.

Upon arriving at Tianxiang Island, everyone was somewhat surprised. The island before them resembled an aerial dock.

Countless spirit boat could be seen flying from Tianxiang Island towards the endless sea.

There were also many flying Yao Beast, as well as underwater Yao Beast.

Accompanying this were many Cultivators returning from the sea, some with injuries, others with joy.

The scale of Tianxiang Island was undoubtedly enormous, three times the size of Shuangmu Island, and around Shuangmu Island, there were four or five smaller islands serving as protective islands.

These islands were subsidiary islands, and their arrangement was even more particular, perhaps hinting at a special Formation.

Lin Shiming was extremely interested in this, but its complexity made him shake his head after observing it for a while.

”Clan Leader Lin!” As the Lin Family’s spirit boat approached, Elder Ye Changxing appeared again in the distance, proactively introducing and guiding the Lin Family.

To land on Tianxiang Island, each person needed to pay ten Low-Grade Spirit Stone, which was somewhat similar to Qingxuan Sect’s Qingxuan City.

The Spirit Stone were only paid upon landing on the island. As for when one left the island, they didn’t care. As long as you had Spirit Stone to deal with all aspects of the market, they even welcomed you to never leave the island.

After the Lin Family paid a large sum of Spirit Stone, they finally entered Tianxiang Island.

Along the way, Elder Ye Changxing also introduced Tianxiang Island. Tianxiang Island was currently governed by the Ziyu Sect, which had two Purple Mansion Cultivators: the Ziyu Sect’s Sect Leader, Purple Jade Sanren, and his wife, Loose Immortal Luo Yun.

Purple Jade Sanren was rumored to have already been in the Mid Purple Mansion Realm a hundred years ago, while Loose Immortal Luo Yun was in the Early Violet Palace Stage, having only Breakthrough about sixty years ago!

As for their specific Cultivation, Elder Ye Changxing was also unsure, as no one dared to defy the Ziyu Sect’s Face near Tianxiang Island.

Beneath the Ziyu Sect were three Foundation Establishment Family: the Duan Family, skilled in Artifact Refining; the Ye Family, skilled in Alchemy; and the Cheng Family, skilled in Talismans.

Among the three families, the Ye Family had the most ancient history, traceable back to the owner of Tianxiang Island a thousand years ago. However, after the Purple Mansion Cultivator’s demise, no one else Breakthrough to the Purple Mansion Realm, and the title of Tianxiang Island’s owner naturally slipped away.

When Elder Ye Changxing spoke of the three families, he appeared even more helpless, because their previous Clan Leader, Ye Changhong, a Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, had unfortunately perished.

This led to the current Cheng Family and Duan Family having a strong tendency to kick out the Ye Family.

Of course, Lin Shiming wouldn’t fully believe this. Although the Ye Family didn’t have a Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, they had at least two Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivators, and quite a few Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivators.

Lin Shiming didn’t think there was no reason behind the Duan Family and Cheng Family’s eagerness.

However, in Lin Family’s eyes, the three families’ squabbles were just like children playing house!

His goal had always been the Ziyu Sect.

Lin Shiming didn’t believe he could definitely defeat a Mid Purple Mansion Realm Cultivator who had Breakthrough for a hundred years.

Moreover, Lin Shiming also needed to find a Golden Core Family in the Coral Alliance to seek protection!

Only with the support of the Coral Alliance could the Lin Family firmly establish itself on Tianxiang Island, and then slowly plan its next moves.

”Ahead is the center of the market!” Soon, everyone had arrived at the center of the market, where more Cultivators came and went.
