Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

403: Conditions of Red Leaves, Golden Thunder Bamboo Demon (2-in-1 please subscribe)In the Red Leaf Palace, Real Person Hongye’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed. With a cold snort, the pressure in the room surged, and the temperature inexplicably dropped a bit.

Lin Shiming’s breathing involuntarily hitched, and all the hairs on his body stood on end.

Even though he was now confident enough to Face a Peak Purple Mansion, he still couldn’t muster the thought of resisting a Golden Core Immortal Master.

”I wouldn’t dare!”

”Reporting to Senior Immortal Master, I merely set up a formation to kill a Late Stage Fourth-Tier Purple Mansion Great Demon, and through a secret Family technique, I checked the Yao Beast’s memories!” Lin Shiming paused, carefully refining his words in his mind before replying.

At the same time, he handed a Storage Pouch containing the carcass of the Five-Colored Sparrow Great Demon to Real Person Hongye.

Then he handed Real Person Hongye a Five Flame Pearl Magic Treasure and a Jade Slip.

”Senior Hongye, the Jade Slip contains the scenes I witnessed, and the Five Flame Pearl is the Magic Treasure used by the Yao Beast. It was precisely after seeing the Five Flame Pearl Magic Treasure that I became curious, but I never expected there to be a Demon King behind it!”

”Therefore, I dared not delay in the slightest. The destruction of my Family is a small matter; if I were to ruin the important affairs of Rising Sun Island, or the important affairs of the Coral Alliance, that would be a major issue!”

Lin Shiming’s Face showed some apprehension. That Five-Colored Demon King was enormous and incredibly powerful.

As a Purple Mansion Cultivator, he naturally felt some fear. After all, the Lin Family was the controller of Tianxiang Island. Without Tianxiang Island, the Lin Family would be like rootless duckweed. To continue growing, they would have to find a new territory.

By the same token, if Tianxiang Island fell into the hands of the Demon King, then the Demon Kings would have more places to attack.

Rising Sun Island would also become a hidden danger.

Lin Shiming spoke one by one, and Real Person Hongye finally withdrew her spiritual might, allowing Lin Shiming to relax.

After Lin Shiming finished speaking, he stood quietly, not daring to look directly at Real Person Hongye’s Face.

Real Person Hongye did not reply.

Instead, she asked in return:

”Do you know how many Golden Core Immortal Masters there are on Rising Sun Island?”

”Tianxiang Island is important, but Rising Sun Island is the core!”

”Furthermore, Real Person Xuri is in isolated cultivation for life, do you know?”

Real Person Hongye paused for a long time before slowly speaking. She had her back to Lin Shiming, looking at the rising tea mist, and then relit the sandalwood incense in the censer on the Eight Immortals table.

Every step was extremely slow, filling the air with a heavy atmosphere.

Lin Shiming’s heart also rejoiced upon hearing this.

Real Person Hongye’s meaning was not a refusal. After all, anything that isn’t an outright refusal.

That means negotiating terms!

Any difficulties or complications simply mean the price isn’t high enough.

Otherwise, Real Person Hongye wouldn’t have said these things to Lin Shiming.

Of course, knowing is one thing, but Lin Shiming also knew that he couldn’t expose it at this moment.

”Senior Hongye, the Cultivators of Tianxiang Island are absolutely no match for that Demon King. I hope Senior can provide a good strategy!”

At this moment, Real Person Hongye finally turned her head. She looked at Lin Shiming and offered him a cup of spirit tea.

The spirit tea was somewhat dark red, with a faint spiritual glow, like blooming crabapple flowers within it.

A rich spiritual fragrance wafted over, causing Lin Shiming’s nose to twitch slightly.

”Resisting the beast tide is now a matter for the entire Coral Alliance, but you also understand that proximity to the Outer Sea and the beast tide naturally has varying strengths and weaknesses. If we can reach an agreement with Tianliu Island and receive aid from Tian Liu Zhenren, Rising Sun Island can at least be worry-free for five years!” Real Person Hongye slowly began to speak before Lin Shiming could take the spirit tea.

”These days, I have also arranged to meet with Tian Liu Zhenren to discuss peace on Tianliu Island!”

”As long as your Tianxiang Island can hold out until then, you will naturally be completely at ease!”

Lin Shiming naturally fell silent after hearing this. Real Person Hongye’s words were very clear; it was evident that Tianliu Island was unwilling to form a complete offensive and defensive alliance with Rising Sun Island.

After all, with Real Person Xuri in isolated cultivation for life, Rising Sun Island only had Real Person Hongye. The remaining Golden Core Immortal Master guarding the Treasure Pavilion was merely an Early Stage Golden Core, and might even be a hidden Cultivator of Rising Sun Island.

As for Tianliu Island, not only was Tian Liu Zhenren a Late Golden Core Stage Cultivator, but Yulin Xianzi’s father was also a Golden Core Cultivator.

Their number of Immortal Masters was far beyond what Rising Sun Island could compare to.

Real Person Hongye’s words clearly indicated that she valued his past rescue of Fu Ling Xianzi and his good relationship with Yulin Xianzi.

Both of them were disciples of Tian Liu Zhenren.

Rumor had it that Tian Liu Zhenren regarded her two disciples as her own children.

However, what made him helpless was that during the incident with the Fifth-Tier spiritual ship, Tian Liu Zhenren had already saved him once.

It could be said that it was completely offset.

At this moment, even the tea water paused in mid-air.

Although Lin Shiming was unwilling to confront the Five-Colored Demon King, he was equally unsure about going to Tianliu Island to negotiate on his own.

Otherwise, if he went to Tianliu Island, he could buy Fifth-Tier spirit soil, Fifth-Tier spirit water, and many Fourth-Tier Spirit Pills.

Why wouldn’t he?

”Senior, it’s a pity that Tian Liu Zhenren helped us last time, otherwise, I would be bold enough to try?” Lin Shiming shook his head helplessly, gently refusing Real Person Hongye.

”Oh, then tell me about the scene where you saved Fuling, and the scene where you defended the island with Yulin!” Real Person Hongye was still unwilling to give up and continued to ask.

That day, Real Person Xuri’s vague words allowed Lin Shiming to muddle through.

Real Person Hongye had many details she wanted to ask but didn’t get to.

Moreover, Real Person Xuri had not secretly used a Soul Questioning Talisman on Lin Shiming.

Seeing this, Lin Shiming dared not conceal anything and fully recounted the scene of saving Fuling and defending the island together with the people from Tianliu Island.

Real Person Hongye nodded frequently at this.

In her opinion, although Tian Liu Zhenren stepping forward that day was considered an act of assistance, given Real Person Xuri’s assertiveness at that time, it might not have been enough to truly offset it.

Lin Shiming saving Fuling was a life-saving act!

Tian Liu Zhenren that day was, at most, adding icing to the cake.

After all, with the Coral Alliance Leader present, no matter what, Lin Shiming and Real Person Xuri would have been fine; at most, they would have had to hand over a few Spirit Medicines.

And Tian Liu Zhenren herself was at odds with Golden Thunder Island.

After all, among the twelve inner islands of the Coral Alliance, there was naturally competition between powerful islands.

”Don’t worry, this negotiation will naturally not be just talk!” Real Person Hongye no longer beat around the bush with Lin Shiming.

”Rising Sun Island will also prepare treasures, after all, Real Person Xuri, after his isolated cultivation, does not want to see Rising Sun Island decline!”

Saying that, Real Person Hongye took out a Storage Pouch and placed it on the Eight Immortals table, looking at Lin Shiming.

”If you can succeed in this matter, you can choose three treasures below the Fifth-Tier!”

”In addition, Rising Sun Island will immediately form the Rising Sun Army. You should understand what I mean!” Real Person Hongye spoke promptly.

Lin Shiming couldn’t help but fall silent. The treasures of Rising Sun Island must have been shown to Tianliu Island.

So, in his opinion, it was still asking him to gamble.

And if this gamble failed, he would bear the wrath of Tianliu Island.

A Purple Mansion Cultivator going to a Golden Core Cultivator to haggle would certainly not end well.

However, at this moment, the System prompt sounded again:

【Please accept Real Person Hongye’s negotiation, and request one Fourth-Tier top-grade purple zenith sandalwood spirit wood. You will gain the friendship of Tianliu Island and the expulsion of the Tianxiang Island Demon King!】

As soon as the System prompt appeared, Lin Shiming was stunned.

He hadn’t expected the System prompt to appear at this time.

This condition, in his opinion, was also extremely strange.

However, since the System prompts had been correct so many times, Lin Shiming naturally nodded in agreement.

”Reporting to Senior, Junior is willing to give it a try, but Yulin Xianzi once mentioned that her Revered Master is looking for a Fourth-Tier top-grade purple zenith sandalwood spirit wood! In addition, she also lacks spirit soil and spirit water!”

Lin Shiming spoke neither subserviently nor arrogantly, also using up the three treasures Real Person Hongye had promised.

With the System prompt, he now had confidence.

Now, he could both expel the Demon King and gain the friendship of Rising Sun Island and Tianliu Island.

Moreover, with the strength the Lin Family had shown, Rising Sun Island might even vigorously Cultivate the Lin Family at that time.

As for the spirit soil and spirit water, he did not specify the grade. Real Person Hongye only mentioned Fourth-Tier treasures.

But he was betting that Real Person Hongye would take out Fifth-Tier spirit soil and Fifth-Tier spirit water.

And the quantity would definitely not be small.

”Good, then I am relieved. I will give you these three treasures in one day, along with this Storage Pouch!”

”As for the Five-Colored Demon King, I will immediately form the Rising Sun Army to go and slay the demon!” The three treasures Lin Shiming mentioned, except for the purple zenith sandalwood spirit wood which involved Rising Sun Island’s specialty, were not considered precious by Real Person Hongye, so she readily agreed.

Once both were satisfied, Real Person Hongye once again poured the spirit tea for Lin Shiming.

Lin Shiming also generously accepted it and drank it in one gulp, only feeling a warm current surge through his body. In the spirit tea, wood-attribute true essence continuously emerged, passing through the Spiritual Veins and reaching his Purple Mansion!

At this moment, Lin Shiming actually felt his cultivation level rising.

It was even more effective than ordinary Fourth-Tier Spirit Pills!

It also overshadowed the original charm of the spirit tea.

”Good tea!”

Lin Shiming quickly suppressed his true essence and bowed in farewell.

Real Person Hongye waved her hand and returned the Five Flame Pearl and the Storage Pouch containing several Purple Mansion Great Demon corpses that Lin Shiming had offered to him.

This naturally made Lin Shiming overjoyed. Although these things were nothing to Real Person Hongye,

But for the Lin Family, they were rare treasures.

Especially for Lin Shitao and Lin Shijie, the Five-Colored Sparrow’s feathers and the Five Flame Pearl were the most suitable treasures!

”Thank you, Senior!” Lin Shiming bowed again.

Then he slowly withdrew.

After leaving the Red Leaf Palace, he found another room, refined for half a day, and then teleported towards Tianxiang Island.

After Lin Shiming left, Real Person Hongye did not summon him again, but instead walked to another side hall. Soon after, she arrived at the Treasure Pavilion.

Elder Ye in the Treasure Pavilion was still pretending to doze.

Seeing Real Person Hongye approach, he was also a little curious.

Real Person Hongye revealed everything she had discussed with Lin Shiming.

”Hmm, well done. Tian Liu Zhenren cares most about Face, and that old fellow is the same. Even if Tian Liu Zhenren repays it, that old fellow must repay it!”

Elder Ye couldn’t help but speak, then looked at Real Person Hongye:

”It’s a pity that old fellow wouldn’t let his daughter be your disciple, otherwise, why would Rising Sun Island need to be like this!”

Elder Ye couldn’t help but sigh, and Real Person Hongye also shook her head.

”By the way, regarding Tianxiang Island, the main alliance also sent news. It seems only that Five-Colored Demon King, relying on its speed, arrived at Tianxiang Island first. However, you’d best bring a Fifth-Tier Spirit Puppet, and also bring Red Whale!” Elder Ye added.

Real Person Hongye also nodded!

... On Shuangmu Island, Lin Shiming was greatly relieved to see that the island was fine. It seemed that the Five-Colored Demon King had not yet gone mad towards this place.

However, preparations still needed to be made thoroughly.

He had gained a lot from this trip. If Real Person Hongye was more generous and gave him a lot of Fifth-Tier spirit soil and Fifth-Tier spirit water, he might not even need to risk buying them on Tianliu Island.

After all, when spirit soil and spirit water reach the Fifth-Tier, interested parties would investigate.

And with Fifth-Tier spirit soil and spirit water, Lin Shiming was confident that his Body Refining cultivation would Breakthrough to the Purple Mansion Late Stage within five years.

At that time, his strength would give him more confidence.

Facing a weaker Demon King, he might not be able to confront it head-on, but he should be able to escape for a while.

Lin Shiming’s heart was set, but at this moment, he felt the Wood Demon transmit a message to him through the Soul Restraining Seal.

Lin Shiming was momentarily stunned.

The Wood Demon had been dormant, recuperating in the Ziyang Pagoda.

Now, not only was it out of seclusion, but it was also transmitting a message to him.

He greeted the Lin Family members he passed, and also sent messages to Lin Xianzhi, Lin Houyuan, and Lin Shitao, then entered the Immortal Cave from his Immortal Cave.

The Wood Demon, in the form of a small old man, had already left the Ziyang Pagoda. Seeing Lin Shiming approach, he quickly bowed.

”Revered Master, the Golden Thunder Bamboo seems to be giving birth to a Wood Demon!”

Lin Shiming was stunned upon hearing this.

Then came ecstasy!

He had initially intended to refine the Golden Thunder Bamboo into a Golden Thunder Sword Magic Treasure, which would be very useful against blood Cultivators and demonic Cultivators.

But as of now, firstly, he didn’t have a very good method for refining Magic Treasure Flying Swords.

Secondly, he had the Taiyi Sword Grass, which was still growing and superior to the Golden Thunder Bamboo Flying Sword Magic Treasure.

But if the Golden Thunder Bamboo were to become a Wood Demon, the situation would be different.

The Golden Thunder Bamboo Wood Demon was not like the Mingxin Tea Tree Wood Demon; its combat power was incomparable.

From the former Nine Leaves Zhenren’s White Cedar Wood and Tian Liu Zhenren’s Heaven Willow Demon King,

It could be seen that some Wood Demons, once they became powerful, were truly stronger than ordinary Demon Kings.

”Lead the way!” Lin Shiming had the Wood Demon lead the way, and they quickly entered the Ziyang Pagoda.

Inside the Ziyang Pagoda, it had transformed into a lush expanse of flowers and plants. The Wood Demon also occupied a corner of it. Although not outstanding, after many years of recuperation, spirit tea leaves reappeared on the branches.

Each tender leaf was extremely vibrant and radiated abundant Spirit Light.

Across from the Wood Demon, the thousand-year-old Golden Thunder Bamboo glowed with Golden Thunder.

The other spiritual plants were quite far from the Golden Thunder Bamboo.

After all, the Golden Thunder Bamboo would occasionally attract lightning.

Only the Wood Demon, this anomaly, would watch with great interest when lightning struck.

At this moment, the Golden Thunder Bamboo had a full ten bamboo segments.

And at the fourth segment, a baby-like young Face appeared.

What made Lin Shiming somewhat amused was that this young Face even bore some resemblance to him.

Clearly, the Golden Thunder Bamboo’s Wood Demon was just being born.

Presumably, the Ziyang Pagoda also played a role in this.

”Revered Master, the Golden Thunder Bamboo does not yet have consciousness. This little demon is willing to guide him in his learning, but if Revered Master wishes the Golden Thunder Bamboo to fight for you, you must find a method for consolidating and combat Cultivation for Wood Demons!”

The Wood Demon bowed and spoke.

”Please rest assured, Revered Master, this little demon absolutely has no selfish motives. If Revered Master is unwilling, this little demon will never Cultivate on its own!” The Wood Demon, seeing Lin Shiming’s meaningful gaze, quickly added again.
