Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

415: Wangjiao wakes up, double breakthrough (two-in-one to increase the accumulated rewards)Entering the Grotto-heaven World, because the Spirit Plants had been moved away by the Ziyang Pagoda, the entire Grotto-heaven now appeared exceptionally vast and empty.

With blue skies, white clouds, and a Spirit Lake and Spirit Mountain, the entire Grotto-heaven’s Concept became beautiful.

Lin Shiming was currently considering whether he could plant more ordinary peach trees within the Grotto-heaven, so that peach blossoms would bloom all year round. The thought of walking through the peach blossoms with Lin Shitao and playing the zither in the spring rain was incredibly beautiful.

However, for now, it was still time to Cultivate.

On the Spirit Mountain, with Golden Wings and Wang Jiao Red Hair gone, only Old Wood was left, teaching Thunder Child.

A small old man’s spirit-shadow with a golden child’s spirit-shadow created a strangely warm scene, and beside the spirit-shadow, Star Spirit Shells continuously emerged from the lake. Behind the Star Spirit Shells, there was also a fourth-tier Middle Stage Water Spirit Shell.

The Water Spirit Shell had already been refined by Lin Shiming using the Soul Restraining Seal. His Soul Restraining Seal could control a maximum of five: the Star Spirit Shell, the Wood Demon, Wang Jiao Red Hair, and now the Water Spirit Shell.

It had truly reached its full capacity.

”Master!” Upon seeing Lin Shiming approach, Old Wood quickly stood up, holding Thunder Child, who was transformed from a Golden Thunder Bamboo.

”Call him Master, and remember to obey Master’s commands from now on!” Old Wood instructed very seriously.

The latter then spoke in a childish voice:

”Ma... Master!”

”Good!” Lin Shiming was exceptionally pleased by this; Old Wood’s teaching made him very satisfied.

He took out a portion of fourth-tier spirit water and spirit soil, and gave it to both of them.

While giving the spirit soil and spirit water, a Jade Slip was also delivered into Old Wood’s hand.

His wrinkled face was exceptionally excited at this moment. He looked up at Lin Shiming in disbelief.

Only after seeing Lin Shiming nod did he become completely overjoyed.

He immediately knelt down.

”Thank you, Master. Old Wood will definitely serve Master with all his might!”

”Mm-hm, you and Thunder Child should Cultivate well!” Lin Shiming felt the Bloodline contract with Thunder Child.

A Bloodline contract was quite a bit weaker than a Soul contract or the Soul Restraining Seal, but one that recognized its master upon the birth of its intelligence was no worse than the Soul Restraining Seal.

For example, the Golden Winged Mantis had even grown dependent on Lin Shiming and would never harbor any thoughts of betrayal.

After dealing with the Wood Demon and Thunder Child.

Lin Shiming also released the Five-Colored Python into the Jiaolong Nest. The Five-Colored Python coiled up, roughly the size of a buffalo. Upon seeing the Jiaolong Nest, its eyes lit up, and it swiftly flew in, transforming into a five-colored light.

It roared with joy.

Then, its large mouth continuously swallowed.

However, after swallowing for a moment, it had to coil up again to digest.

Both eager and desirous!

In the distance, a huge dark shadow began to stir, emitting an astonishing Yao Beast aura that caused the Five-Colored Python to involuntarily retreat.

It was the shadow of Wang Jiao’s Breakthrough, and at this moment, faint Jiaolong roars could still be heard, making the Five-Colored Python even more terrified. It dared not open its mouth, only flicking its tongue, coiling and uncoiling within the Jiaolong Nest.

”Master, help me catch this colorful crawling insect that doesn’t have claws! When I come out, I’m going to eat it!” Wang Jiao’s angry voice echoed in Lin Shiming’s mind.

Compared to before, Wang Jiao’s intelligence was now extremely high, no longer just simple words.

However, it still couldn’t change its habit of liking to eat.

”This is your mistress’s Spirit Beast; you can’t eat it!” Lin Shiming warned, then thought for a moment and said:

”Also, don’t call it a crawling insect; you came from that too!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Jiao roared three times in discontent.

Then the dark shadow shook violently, and Wang Jiao turned its head away.

It no longer looked at the Five-Colored Python. It now needed to fully absorb the True Yuan within its body to Breakthrough and emerge from seclusion as soon as possible.

Once it emerged, all the Dragon Qi in the entire Jiaolong Nest would be its.

How could the Five-Colored Python’s small mouth swallow as much as it could!

It could even hold it down with its claws!

”Master, that fruit is mine!” After a pleasant thought, Wang Jiao still sent a message to remind him.

This point absolutely could not be forgotten.

It had fought with its life!

Lin Shiming was somewhat amused and exasperated. It was still unknown how long it would take for the golden dragon fruit to bear fruit.

Yet Wang Jiao had been thinking about it all this time.

After dealing with the Yao Beast, Lin Shiming entered the Ziyang Pagoda again and cast the Wind of Rejuvenation Minor Divine Ability on the nearest Tian Ling Fruit Tree.

He couldn’t forget these two Minor Divine Abilities during his five to ten years of seclusion.

The Light of Deduction had been given to Lin Houshou, but the Wind of Rejuvenation from last time was still kept.

After tending to all the Spirit Plants, he settled down in the pavilion above the Spirit Lake.

He did not immediately advance, but instead sat cross-legged on a mysterious meditation mat, calming his mind, watching the clouds roll and unfurl, and the ripples on the clear water, soothing his restless heart.

He also waited for night to fall.

The Star Spirit Shells were already prepared, ready for Lin Shiming to feed them at any time.

Lin Shiming did not immediately use fifth-tier spirit soil and spirit water, but rather fourth-tier spirit water and spirit soil, first to produce enough star spirit floss to thoroughly Cultivate the Starlight Body Tempering Art to the Peak of the fourth-tier Middle Stage.

Then, he would use a large amount of fifth-tier spirit water and fifth-tier spirit soil to Breakthrough.

Day faded, and night arrived.

Above the clear lake, shimmering starlight replaced the previous light, and in the sky, the entire galaxy began to twinkle brilliantly.

The Star Spirit Shells opened their twin shells, continuously devouring the spirit water and spirit soil.

Upon the shells, countless starlight spirit runes materialized, forming an even smaller star map.

star spirit floss continuously emerged, drifting from the lake surface and falling onto the pavilion.

Lin Shiming’s body became increasingly translucent, and countless Acupoints lit up, like an even more mysterious starry Universe.

Cultivation knows no years, and day after day faded away.

Only Old Wood, with Thunder Child, continuously traversed various parts of the Grotto-heaven, and Thunder Child understood more and more.

And because he had Cultivated the Kui Spirit Demon Scripture, he would occasionally shoot out sunflower seed-sized finger lightning, accompanied by joyful laughter.

He would also receive praise from Old Wood.

On a certain day, the stars in the sky were exceptionally brilliant.

The night within the Grotto-heaven was like day, and above the clear lake, colorful spirit floss drifted everywhere.

Lin Shiming was currently enveloped by the colorful spirit floss, and his Physical Body’s stars became increasingly bright.

An astonishing surge of Blood Qi continuously spread in all directions.

Old Wood and Thunder Child also walked over, and even the Five-Colored Python and Water Spirit Shell looked over.

The Five-Colored Python had grown a size larger, and bumps had begun to appear on its head. Although its belly had not yet changed, it was still astonishing enough.

At this moment, Lin Shiming’s body clearly stirred.

The Star Spirit Shell only felt that Lin Shiming was absorbing the five-colored star spirit floss faster and faster.

The next moment, it even seemed to see Lin Shiming absorbing the starlight from the Void Realm into his body.

Boom!

A torrential surge of Blood Qi was released, and Lin Shiming’s body was like a humanoid star.

A unique Late Stage fourth-tier pressure spread throughout the Grotto-heaven.

”Congratulations, Master, on your Breakthrough to Purple Mansion Late Stage!” Old Wood was the first to speak!

”Congratulations, Master, on your Breakthrough to Purple Mansion Late Stage!” Thunder Child and the Water Spirit Shell also quickly chimed in.

The Five-Colored Python, unable to speak now, also let out a roar, indicating its celebration.

Along with a big gulp, it swallowed a good amount of Dragon Qi.

Lin Shiming stood up, looking at his fists, which emitted a starlight like spiritual jade.

For a moment, he was full of vigor.

Moreover, he discovered that after Cultivating the Star Body Tempering Art, it seemed to benefit his Spirit Body release as well.

He used his Divine Sense to examine his interior, only to see green True Yuan continuously gushing out within his Dao meridians. At this moment, he even realized that his Minor Divine Ability, Wind of Rejuvenation, might not require the full five years anymore.

Although the progress was not significant, it was still an opportunity.

The Spirit Plants in his Grotto-heaven bore fruit after hundreds or even thousands of years.

Lin Shiming could wait, but the Lin Family might not be able to wait.

”Old Wood, how much time has passed!” Lin Shiming spoke faintly.

”Replying to Master, four years minus one autumn!” The Wood Demon replied respectfully.

Lin Shiming also nodded. At this moment, the Star Spirit Shell had already retreated into the Spirit Lake.

Over the years, a large amount of fourth-tier spirit soil and spirit water, in addition to fifth-tier spirit soil and spirit water,

had given it another opportunity for Breakthrough. It had already sent a message to Lin Shiming that it was going into seclusion.

Lin Shiming was naturally overjoyed. He would still need the Star Spirit Shell when he Breakthrough to Purple Mansion Peak in the future.

”Roar!” Just then, in the sky, a Jiaolong roar echoed.

A gigantic Poison Flood Dragon, many times larger than before, circled in the Void Realm, occupying more than half of it.

At this moment, the Poison Flood Dragon was much larger than before. Its entire body’s scales were dark and gleaming, like cold iron, and they were densely packed, containing an inexplicable Law.

The two feet on its belly had also grown tiny claws at some unknown time, showing a tendency to become a three-clawed Jiaolong!

”Roar! Wang Jiao Red Hair, Golden Wings, come out! This king wants to eat you!”

”And Star Spirit Shell, crawling insect, all four of you come at me!”

”Plus... Master!”

Wang Jiao roared excitedly. It had waited for this day for too long. It looked around, it wanted to eat.

It was very hungry!

And it wanted to fight even more.

”Is that so?” Lin Shiming couldn’t help but speak upon seeing Wang Jiao, who had broken through to the fourth-tier Middle Stage.

He had just broken through as well, and it was a good opportunity to test the Purple Mansion Late Stage of the Starlight Body Tempering Art.

His body was like starlight, leaving countless starlight afterimages in the Void Realm.

Boom!

A punch directly slammed into Wang Jiao’s body, and the latter was instantly sent flying.

Wang Jiao’s gaze immediately became solemn. In its Jiaolong eyes, it clearly hadn’t expected Lin Shiming to have already broken through to Purple Mansion Late Stage.

”Roar!” But what if he had broken through? It was a Jiaolong!

Its body transformed into a ghostly light, and it charged towards Lin Shiming.

The roar immediately became incessant.

However, Lin Shiming ultimately held the upper hand.

But at this moment, Lin Shiming’s gaze was also solemn. This Wang Jiao was indeed a three-clawed Poison Flood Dragon. His body had reached Purple Mansion Late Stage, yet he could only barely suppress the fourth-tier Middle Stage Wang Jiao.

This was still with Wang Jiao not using its three claws, poison horn, or venom.

However, after a series of punches and kicks, Wang Jiao also quieted down.

No longer as arrogant as before.

Instead, it called him Master with every word.

”Master, stones, glowing stones, and star spirit floss!” Wang Jiao’s huge claws gestured, looking rather comical in the Void Realm.

The next moment, it looked at the Five-Colored Python and glared fiercely at the latter:

”Mottled crawling insect, hurry and crawl away, that’s this Jiaolong’s spot!”

The Five-Colored Python was also extremely panicked and quickly scattered.

Lin Shiming, however, didn’t stop it. The Five-Colored Python had absorbed a lot of Dragon Qi over the years and could begin preparing for Bloodline Restoration.

Lin Shiming took out a Storage Pouch, which contained prepared Spirit Food, High-Grade Spirit Stones, spirit water, and Beast Nurturing Pills.

Although third-tier Beast Nurturing Pills were not very useful, his three Yao Beasts had been eating them since they were young and couldn’t do without them. The Lin Family also didn’t lack these Beast Nurturing Pills, so they naturally didn’t bother with them.

”From now on, this is your Jiaolong companion, and also your mistress’s Spirit Beast. Be polite!” Lin Shiming still reminded it.

Wang Jiao occupied most of the Jiaolong Nest, but still left a small area for the Five-Colored Python, then began to devour the Spirit Food.

Lin Shiming then left the Grotto-heaven once to check a Jade Slip, and found that in the past four years, although the beast tide was fierce, Tianxiang Island had actually calmed down.

This made him feel immensely relieved.

As for the several outer islands next to Tianxiang Island, the situation was quite dire.

They had already begun to continuously request aid from the Coral Alliance, and Immortal Masters had also come to support Tianliu Island.

In addition, Golden Thunder Island and Thousand Machine Island had also suffered the fiercest beast tide attacks, and many Yao Beast Kings had already begun to appear, confronting the Immortal Masters of the Coral Alliance.

Seeing this, Lin Shiming once again steeled his heart and entered the Grotto-heaven to continue his seclusion.

He wanted his Qi Cultivation to also Breakthrough to Purple Mansion Late Stage.

Only then could he truly achieve fearlessness within the Purple Mansion.

After his Body Refining Cultivation Breakthrough, his trump cards had increased from two to three.

The Star Bead, this incomplete Spirit Treasure, could now be barely used. At critical moments, combined with the Leaping Void Disc’s leaping ability, it could definitely achieve a decisive kill.

He even felt that if an ordinary Human Race Golden Core True Person was accidentally hit by him, they would certainly suffer serious injuries.

However, such thoughts were only fleeting; how could a Golden Core True Person be easily approached by him?

Therefore, it was not enough; he needed to Breakthrough again!

Entering the Grotto-heaven, he now held two more Jade Bottles in his hand: Jade Clarity Pills.

Now that the Lin Family occupied Nine Peaks Island and Tianxiang Island, they were not lacking in resources and had extensively purchased Spirit Medicine. Lin Shitao, after refining the Medicinal Pills, immediately sent them to the entrance of Lin Shiming’s Immortal Cave.

Entering the Immortal Cave, Lin Shiming once again began to Cultivate.

This time, he sat cross-legged on the mountain Peak, with a water spirit pearl and Jade Clarity Pills in his hands.

One Jade Clarity Pill entered his mouth, and a large amount of True Yuan immediately began to surge, instantly activating Lin Shiming’s Kui Wood Sword Scripture.

Cycle after cycle, it proceeded in a wild and crude manner.

As a fourth-tier Medium Grade Medicinal Pill, the Jade Clarity Pill was generally effective for Purple Mansion Late Stage cultivators.

When Lin Shiming took it, his True Yuan naturally surged. Fortunately, his Physical Body was strong. Not only did he swallow the Medicinal Pill, but he also held the water spirit pearl in one hand, absorbing it.

At this moment, even if it meant taking a slight risk, he couldn’t afford to hesitate.

Although he had the Yan Yang Sword, he ultimately had to rely on himself, and it was best not to expose it if possible.

And if his strength was a bit higher, he wouldn’t be easily treated as a pawn in the Coral Alliance.

Below the mountain range, the fourth-tier High Grade Spiritual Vein, at this moment, was completely divided into two streams. One continued to surge towards the Ziyang Pagoda, while the other surged towards Lin Shiming.

The massive Spiritual Qi and surging True Yuan even caused faint green glows to appear around Lin Shiming’s body, an unusual phenomenon.

If one looked closely at this phenomenon, it was somewhat similar to the spirit runes displayed by Lin Shiming’s Spirit Body.

Cultivation was destined to be monotonous. Day after day passed, and dust began to settle on the meditation mat around Lin Shiming’s body.

Then, on a certain day, Lin Shiming’s eyes opened again. He flipped his hand, and a Jade Bottle immediately appeared.

Inside the Jade Bottle, two Spirit Pills with Medicinal Pill patterns were clearly visible.

He took one of them and placed it in his mouth.

His gaze was resolute!

”Breakthrough for me!”

Violent True Yuan rushed into his body, flushing through his meridians again and again.

Much time passed again. The True Yuan had accumulated to a sufficient level, but there were still no signs of a Breakthrough.

Lin Shiming once again steeled his heart, and another yunji pill appeared in his hand.

He swallowed it in one gulp. The next moment, green light immediately surged throughout his body, radiating brilliantly.

And Spiritual Qi frantically rushed towards Lin Shiming, so much so that even the Ziyang Pagoda could only share a small portion of the Spiritual Qi.

At another point, the Spiritual Qi and True Yuan transformed into a storm ripple, scattering in all directions.

Lin Shiming’s Divine Sense also reached a new high.

He stood up, his True Yuan roaring like thunder.

Purple Mansion Late Stage, achieved!
