Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

391: Three major lists, Lin family plan (two in one)The Lin Family’s Mission Hall was now bustling with people.

People were constantly entering and exiting, mostly a Foundation Establishment Cultivator leading a team of Late Qi Refining Stage Cultivators.

Everyone was quite serious. Lin Shiming entered with Lin Yuqing and others, and finally saw Lin Houyuan, the current acting head of the Lin Family.

After Lin Houyong left, Lin Shiming had also been absent, and at the same time, the Lin Family had no suitable candidate, so Lin Houyuan had been acting as the interim head.

Lin Houyuan’s expression was tense at this moment, but when he saw Lin Shiming return, his demeanor relaxed.

Currently, Lin Shiming had the highest cultivation and strongest combat power in the Lin Family, and even the Yan Yang Sword only recognized him.

”Father!” Lin Shiming quickly greeted him, taking a seat on the side, with Lin Houyuan in the main seat, followed by Lin Yuqing, Lin Houshou, Lin Shijie, and others.

There were more than a dozen people seated in a row, the lowest cultivation level among them being Foundation Establishment.

It should be known that the Lin Family also had Fangmu Island and Spirit Turtle Island, with many Foundation Establishment Cultivators stationed there.

And the Foundation Establishment teams that had just been entering and exiting.

Adding the Cultivators from Tianxiang Island, the Lin Family’s Foundation Establishment Cultivators had inadvertently reached over forty people.

There were even five Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

The Shi Generation had also become the backbone, and the Ze Generation was flourishing.

As for the next generation, the Yan Generation, although not yet fully grown, had the best Spiritual Roots, with many dual Spiritual Root Cultivators, and Lin Yanjiao, a dual Spiritual Root spiritual body holder, as the eldest sister.

Their future was the most promising!

”Shiming, Rising Sun Island has already sent word; the Yao Beasts are stirring!”

”It might not be twenty years until the true beast tide arrives!”

Lin Houyuan conveyed this news, and Lin Shiming nodded, already understanding from the Lin Family’s tense situation.

However, Lin Shiming also knew that the beast tide wouldn’t come too quickly.

After all, the Yao Race had acquired many five-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine, and it would take considerable time to digest them.

And after digestion, the Yao Race Cultivators would become even stronger.

In fact, both Human Race Cultivators and Yao Race Cultivators shared a common mindset: once their strength had increased sufficiently and their resources were depleted, they would launch an invasion.

”Rising Sun Island sent news that Immortal Master Xuri is in seclusion to Breakthrough, so the Teleportation Array fees for the entire Tianxiang Island have been halved, encouraging Loose Cultivators and small families to come to Tianxiang Island to kill Yao Beasts!”

”Additionally, a Purple Mansion Hero List, a Foundation Establishment Hero List, and a Qi Refining Hero List have been established!”

”The top three in the Purple Mansion list will receive rewards from Rising Sun Island, settled every five years. The first place will be rewarded with a purple zenith sandalwood, the second place will be rewarded with a Profound Rank High Grade Cultivation Technique that can be cultivated to the Purple Mansion Late Stage, and the third place will be rewarded with a Fourth-Order Medium Grade defensive Magic Treasure. The threshold is to kill two Purple Mansion Great Demons! The first place for two consecutive terms will be rewarded with a purple profound treasure jade!”

”The top ten in the Foundation Establishment list will receive rewards from Rising Sun Island, settled every three years. The first place will be rewarded with an High Grade defensive Magical Artifact, the second and third places will be rewarded with High Grade offensive Magical Artifacts, and the fourth to tenth places will be rewarded with a Third-Order High Grade defensive Magical Artifact! The first place for three consecutive terms will be rewarded with five Foundation Establishment Pills!”

”The top fifty in Qi Refining who kill Yao Beasts will receive rewards from Rising Sun Island, settled annually. The first to tenth places will be rewarded with a Second-Order High Grade defensive Magical Artifact and the qualification to become an inner Disciple of Rising Sun Island! The tenth to one hundredth places can also choose Magical Artifacts in order!”

”Among these, all Purple Mansion treasures and 70% of Foundation Establishment treasures will be borne by Rising Sun Island, while the remaining 30% of Foundation Establishment treasures and Qi Refining treasures will be borne by the Lin Family of Tianxiang Island!”

Lin Houyuan introduced them one by one, and Lin Shiming finally understood why the Lin Family had been continuously deploying troops.

Rising Sun Island’s generosity was immense.

And having experienced the Outer Sea journey, he knew that this was by no means groundless.

Tianxiang Island would not be peaceful in the future.

Normal Yao Beasts and Purple Mansion Great Demons would stay within the Spiritual Veins of the Outer Sea, but now those Great Demons were being driven to the Coral Sea Area.

They were being driven towards the vicinity of Tianxiang Island, and when the Yao Beasts became numerous, they would inevitably impact the Human Race’s Spiritual Vein islands.

If the Yao Race were allowed to mobilize without prior preparation, even if those Yao Kings did not appear.

The Coral Alliance would be doomed, and Immortal Master Xuri was not truly in seclusion, but had already fallen.

The power of Rising Sun Island was now basically at the bottom among the twelve inner islands.

At that time, it was truly possible to become a Breakthrough point for the Yao Race.

Lin Shiming thought a lot in an instant.

Reducing Teleportation Array fees and establishing three major lists was the best way for Rising Sun Island to save itself.

At that time, the Purple Mansion Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Cultivators flocking to Tianxiang Island and other outer islands would definitely not be few. Golden Core combat power might not be enough, but Purple Mansion combat power and Foundation Establishment combat power would seize the initiative.

Moreover, establishing the lists would also help Cultivators improve their strength.

At that time, the Foundation Establishment Hero List would probably be the most competitive.

Many Loose Cultivators were good at killing Yao Beasts, and Purple Mansion Loose Cultivators were extremely rare.

The Purple Mansion list competition was estimated to be the weakest, although there were many Human Race Purple Mansion Cultivators, they would not seem numerous when scattered across the vast sea.

However, Lin Shiming estimated that at that time, the inner islands of the Coral Sea Area, those close to the inner sea, would also support outer islands like Tianxiang Island.

Lin Shiming was not interested in this list; instead, he felt that with the appearance of the Purple Mansion list, the Lin Family might not necessarily benefit.

With more Purple Mansion Cultivators, Daoist Nine Heavens would have to constantly watch Tianxiang Island.

And the Lin Family’s Shuangmu Island and Fangmu Island would both need to arrange Purple Mansion Cultivators.

Spirit Turtle Island also needed the Thunder Spirit Turtle to be placed there.

After all, there was a High-Grade Spirit Stone Mine there, as well as the Lin Family’s Spirit Turtle breeding base.

The Lin Family’s Yan Generation being so talented was partly due to the Spirit Turtle breeding base.

”Shiming, the Family has decided to provide a cross-level Magical Artifact to Cultivators participating in the battle. Cultivators with excellent Cultivation Techniques, dual Spiritual Roots, and those supported by the Family will receive two cross-level Magical Artifacts, as well as a life-saving Spirit Talisman. The exchange rate for Formation Plates and Spirit Talisman Magical Artifacts will also be reduced by 80%!”

”What else do you think needs to be optimized?” Lin Houyuan asked.

Then he looked at the others.

He indicated that if anyone had opinions, they could all bring them up.

Of course, this was also directed at Lin Shiming, Lin Houshou, and others who had just returned from Ten Thousand Snake Island.

Lin Shiming also nodded; the Lin Family’s decision was indeed good.

Magical Artifacts that could cross one level could be used. The Lin Family had plundered the Ziyu Sect, the Duan Family, and the Cheng Family, so they could certainly afford this wealth. This was a good time to digest it and convert it into combat power.

After all, the Lin Family’s strength had grown explosively.

The Hou Generation and Shi Generation Cultivators had relatively outstanding combat strength.

But the combat strength of the Ze Generation and Yan Generation Cultivators was somewhat lacking.

This was despite the Lin Family’s Clan Competition held every three years.

Otherwise, the combat strength of the Lin Family’s lower-level Cultivators would be even worse.

This was also a common problem for every Cultivation Family that grew and expanded; it was simply difficult to transform in less than several decades or even a century.

This beast tide was a crisis, but also an opportunity.

”Father, I strongly agree with this reward policy. Additionally, I suggest that the Family’s Cultivators who study Formation also join the combat sequence!”

”A Family Yao Beast hunting team will be led by a Family Purple Mansion Cultivator. Beneath the hunting team, there will be six Foundation Establishment teams. Each Foundation Establishment team must have a Third-Order High Grade spirit boat, and the hunting team must have a war treasure ship. In addition, each Foundation Establishment team must arrange two Foundation Establishment Cultivators and use the Spirit Control Seal to control enough Third-Order Yao Beasts! Every team and squad must have a Formation Master assisting!”

”At the same time, the Family needs to focus more on cultivating and purchasing three yuan forging spirit flowers, to be used by Foundation Establishment Cultivators to Cultivate the Three-Essence Spirit Refining Pill, increasing their Divine Sense and the number of controlled Spirit Beasts. Additionally, Cultivators with wood-attribute Cultivation Techniques can popularize the Heavenly Wood Spirit Planting Secret Method...”

Lin Shiming offered suggestions one by one. After he finished, Lin Shijie, Lin Houshou, and others also spoke in turn.

After talking for most of the day, the decisions were finally finalized.

And as they were leaving, Lin Shiming spoke again:

”Father, this time we harvested over four thousand Spirit Snake Yao Beast eggs. This time, the Family should acquire all of them and distribute one to each Cultivator participating in the battle!”

”Good!” Lin Houyuan’s eyes lit up. He hadn’t expected Lin Shiming and the others to have such a great harvest.

Spirit Snake Spirit Beasts, as Spirit Pets, were amphibious and excellent in combat.

And their cultivation value goes without saying. It should be known that Lin Shiming’s Poison Flood Dragon evolved from a horned python. In the eyes of many Lin Family Cultivators, Spirit Snakes could transform into pythons and then into Flood Dragons!

This greatly increased their cultivation potential.

For Lin Shiming, as long as they cultivated valuable Spirit Snake eggs, or Spirit Snake eggs that appeared in his System prompts, he could help Cultivate them with the Jiaolong Nest.

The most crucial point was that after this battle, the Lin Family’s reputation as a snake-controlling Family would spread.

At that time, it would be even more convenient for the Lin Family to acquire talented Spirit Snake cubs.

After discussing Family matters, Lin Shiming took out several Storage Pouches, preparing one for each of the Lin Family’s Foundation Establishment Cultivators and some of the Family’s supported individuals, entrusting them to Lin Houyuan.

The Magical Artifacts and Magic Treasures within were among the finest from his spoils of war.

For Lin Houyuan, Lin Houshou, Lin Shijie, and a few others who were more talented or with whom he had closer ties, there was also a Realm Breaking Talisman.

He had only three Realm Breaking Talismans left out of a dozen.

Since there was a Purple Mansion list and a Foundation Establishment list, there would inevitably be some ill-intentioned Cultivators.

Yao Beasts were fine, they were straightforward, but if Lin Family Cultivators were trapped by those Cultivators using Formations and Magical Artifacts, they would die unjustly.

He had experienced this more often, but the other Lin Family Cultivators had less.

The few times they had entered Secret Realms, it had always been the Lin Family entering as a single Family, without other families.

After distributing the treasures, Lin Shiming kept Lin Houshou back.

”Second Uncle, for the next ten years, you may need to intensify your research into Formations. Your Divine Sense needs to be comparable to Purple Mansion, and your Formation cultivation needs to successfully advance to the Peak of Fourth-Order Low Grade, or even Fourth-Order Medium Grade!” Lin Shiming said.

”Shiming, this...” Lin Houshou felt a bit uncertain just hearing about a Fourth-Order Formation Master, let alone becoming a Peak Fourth-Order Low Grade or even Fourth-Order Medium Grade Formation Master. But seeing Lin Shiming’s serious expression, he couldn’t outright refuse.

But his meaning was quite clear.

”Second Uncle, don’t worry, the Family’s Three-Essence Spirit Refining Pill will be unconditionally available to you. Also, here’s a purple zenith sandalwood!” Lin Shiming took out the purple zenith sandalwood and handed it to Lin Houshou.

He then introduced the effects of the purple zenith sandalwood to the latter.

This immediately made Lin Houshou shiver.

”Shiming, this is too precious!”

”Second Uncle, listen to me. This concerns whether the Lin Family can truly become a Golden Core Family!” Lin Shiming said seriously.

”Also, Second Uncle, you must keep what I’m telling you today a secret, even from other Family Cultivators. You must use the excuse of Breakthrough to Peak Foundation Establishment!” Lin Shiming said with extreme seriousness.

”You only need to improve your Divine Sense cultivation for these ten years and research Fourth-Order Formations as much as possible!”

”As for what comes after, I will help you!”

Seeing Lin Shiming say this, Lin Houshou nodded heavily. Although he still had some doubts about himself.

But since Lin Shiming had said so, he had to do his utmost.

He had never forgotten that if Lin Shiming hadn’t brought out the dragon blood pill, he might already be a handful of dust.

He also hadn’t forgotten that if Lin Shiming hadn’t brought out the Blood Demon Body Refining Secret Method, he might have died on Shuangmu Island, let alone the Buddhist Dharma that came later.

For the Family, for Lin Shiming, he was willing to do it all!

Cultivation had its Dao, and his current Dao was the Auxiliary Immortal Dao!

”Second Uncle, I’m counting on you!”

”Don’t worry!” Lin Houshou had never seen Lin Shiming speak with such a tone, and his heart grew even more resolute.

Lin Shiming felt relieved when he saw Lin Houshou nod. The Jiaolong Nest and the Purple Jade Pagoda were both extremely important.

These two truly concerned whether the Lin Family could rise in the South Sea Cultivation World.

And become a true Golden Core Family.

After bidding farewell to Lin Houshou, Lin Shiming returned to Thousand Wood Peak. With all matters handled, he only had one thing left to do: help Lin Shitao Breakthrough to Purple Mansion.

And he really should spend some time with Lin Shitao.

In front of Lin Shitao’s Immortal Cave on Thousand Wood Peak, the peach tree was still there, sprouting tender green shoots, its branches facing the sea.

Like a young girl eagerly awaiting someone.

Lin Shitao was still in seclusion. Lin Shiming sat under the peach tree. The residual warmth under the tree was still there, and there was still the scent of cuilan tea on a stone table.

Lin Shiming couldn’t help but sigh, and without speaking, he sat cross-legged under the peach tree.

His back was to the direction of the tender shoots, and he looked into the Immortal Cave.

He knew that Lin Shitao had already emerged from seclusion. It had been almost a year since her Purple Mansion Breakthrough failed.

The peach blossoms had bloomed and withered, and the peach leaves had been replaced by tender shoots in the autumn wind.

It was just that she must have learned that Lin Shiming participated in the Ziyang Secret Realm, but he hadn’t told her about it.

Lin Shiming was a bit helpless, as Lin Shitao was recovering from the injuries of her failed Purple Mansion Breakthrough at the time, and Lin Shiming found it difficult to bring it up.

Lin Xianzhi on Qinglian Peak also sighed like Lin Shiming.

He understood Lin Shiming’s predicament, because Lin Shitao had sought him out two months after Lin Shiming left.

He could only smile wryly about the matter between the two of them.

The sky gradually darkened, and the increasingly fierce sound of waves crashing against the coastal reefs could be heard. Lin Shiming was still meditating, but the next moment, the sound of a spiritual pot pouring spiritual tea rang out.

A rich aroma of tea wafted over him.

Dispelling the chill of the sea breeze.

Lin Shiming couldn’t help but smile, opening his eyes. He had thought he would have to stay at the Immortal Cave entrance for half a month or a year.

”Seventh Brother, have some tea!” A graceful figure in a peach-colored dress stood elegantly before him.

Lin Shiming embraced her without another word.

”This time, Seventh Brother won’t leave. I’ll stay on Shuangmu Island!” This simple sentence made Lin Shitao swallow any words of blame she had, leaving only a nod.

Cultivation was not easy; how could she not understand Lin Shiming’s thoughts?

But her own thoughts, on the other hand, kept turning over and over.

”Next, for ten years, you’ll teach me Alchemy, teach me to plant Spirit Peach Trees, and teach me to play the zither!” Lin Shiming recalled the scene when he broke through to Purple Mansion and understood some of his inner thoughts.

He knew that Lin Shijie’s knot was Sword Intent, his agreement with his grandfather. Lin Xianzhi’s knot was the Lin Family, the rise of the younger generation.

However, he didn’t know much about the reason for Lin Shitao’s Breakthrough failure. Although there was an Detailed Explanation of Array Instruments, it should be known that Lin Shitao was also a dual Spiritual Root Genius who broke through Foundation Establishment without using a Foundation Establishment Pill.
