Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

596: Xuanyou Grimoire, Magic Treasure and Magic Gun (two-in-one has been updated)Chapter 599: Profound Nether Demonic Canon, Demonic Treasure Demonic Spear (Two-in-one Update)

Lin Shiming examined it for a long time, then held it in his hand and scrutinized it for a while, but he still had no clue. He was willing to bet that this crystal was probably not an ordinary treasure.

Instead, it was more like something from the Ancient Demon Clan.

He could only wait for the System’s prompt to refresh the next day.

After all, as a treasure on the same level as the Thousand Star Fruit, the System’s prompt should provide a hint.

Of course, if there was no prompt, Lin Shiming could only wait until his next shift to ask Golden Light True Buddha.

Since True Lord Chilan’s Breakthrough, Lin Shiming now rotated shifts with Golden Light True Buddha, forming a two-person rotation team.

Besides them, Old Woman Qingyu and a True Lord from the Southern Border rotated shifts with Lord Nine Dragons and True Lord Xueshan, respectively.

Lin Shiming finished looking at the Spirit Medicine treasures and moved on to the next item. The third floor of the palace was filled with Jade Slips, and the content within them was extensive.

It was indeed as Lin Shijie had anticipated; this Corpse Devil Daoist truly intended to establish a Sect.

Many of the Jade Slips here were likely copied from the Corpse Refining Sect.

Lin Shiming also secretly warned himself to be careful of these Demonic Cultivators and Blood Cultivators, otherwise, who knew what treasures they possessed that could circumvent an oath of the heavenly dao or Sect Jade Books.

After all, he even had Purple Illusory Heavenly Net Wine in his Grotto-heaven.

Lin Shiming read these Jade Slips quite carefully. For the Demonic Path Cultivation Technique they couldn’t use, he simply set them aside, waiting to give them to Lin Shimo and Lin Houshou later.

The two of them could still make use of some of the secret techniques.

Besides these, there were also some blood escape secret techniques and Cauldron secret techniques.

Lin Shiming shook his head, but he didn’t destroy them. For him, although he spoke of the Demonic Path, he wasn’t entirely against certain Demonic Path secret techniques.

For example, the Blood Demon Body Refining Secret Canon saved Lin Houshou’s life. At the same time, the Five Elements Heavenly Corpse Art allowed Lin Shimo to Break through to Golden Core, and it might even be possible for him to Break through to Nascent Soul in the future.

As long as one could maintain their original intention, Demonic Path Cultivation Techniques didn’t place as much emphasis on Aptitude.

Instead, they focused more on a Cultivator’s mental fortitude and perseverance.

However, in Lin Shiming’s opinion, these secret techniques were somewhat ordinary.

But he quickly realized that the truly powerful secret techniques were likely all in Corpse Devil Daoist’s mind.

However, Lin Shiming had no way to perform soul-searching on him, which was a great regret.

Otherwise, he would have known many Demonic Path secret techniques.

Lin Shiming continued to examine them, and when he reached the very end, there was only a Low Grade Earth Rank Joyful Demonic Canon. Lin Shiming glanced at it a few times, but had no great interest.

It was too detrimental to Heavenly Dao, constantly engaging in cultivation through absorption, and one’s Cultivation would become extremely unstable.

Lin Shiming continued to look towards the fourth floor.

The fourth floor of the palace was simple, with only a few treasures.

They were placed inside a huge treasure chest.

The Spirit Wood used for this treasure chest was nether dark iron wood, exuding a faint oily sheen.

Upon seeing the items inside the treasure chest, Lin Shiming frowned.

Inside the treasure chest, there was only a black book cover and a dark, long spear.

The black book cover was covered with many strange Demonic Runes. This seemed to be a Secret Manual of the Ancient Demon Clan.

It left Lin Shiming greatly shocked.

Just one glance at these Demonic Runes made him feel dizzy, as if countless scenes of mountains of corpses and seas of blood appeared in his mind, with Ancient Demons emerging on the battlefield.

His mind was on the verge of starting a massacre.

But soon, with the Book of Hidden Paths, his mind regained some clarity.

Lin Shiming dared not continue to examine this Ancient Demon secret technique. He didn’t know how that Corpse Devil Daoist had managed it, but for the Lin Family, apart from him, probably no one could withstand the erosion of that Ancient Demon.

But it was undeniable that the value of this Ancient Demon book was absolutely the greatest of all his acquisitions this time.

Lin Shiming even believed that these Demonic Runes had reached the sixth-tier level.

After all, the Middle Stage fifth-tier Devil Corpse could reach the Late Stage fifth-tier due to the Demonic Runes.

And the Demonic Shield displayed by Corpse Devil Daoist was even able to withstand the combined attack of the Lei Ming Sword and the Ying Feng Sword.

In terms of destructive power, Lin Shiming felt somewhat inferior to the two swords.

Lin Shiming continued to scrutinize it for a few more glances, and after being tempted again, he placed the Ancient Demon book back into the nether dark iron wood Spirit Box on the fourth floor and picked up the other dark long spear.

The material of this long spear was extremely special. It was somewhat similar to treasures like the Book of Hidden Paths, yet there was also a significant difference.

It seemed like a damaged Spirit Treasure, yet it wasn’t a damaged Spirit Treasure. Lin Shiming estimated it to be a damaged Demonic Treasure.

It also required the Treasure Unlocking Art.

Otherwise, that Corpse Devil Daoist would have surely used it.

No wonder both of these treasures needed nether dark iron wood to Seal them.

Lin Shiming didn’t touch either treasure. He placed the entire Storage Pouch, along with them, into his Grotto-heaven, planning to use them when he had time later.

After organizing his gains, Lin Shiming began to meditate and Cultivate.

Due to the Epiphany, his state of mind had also undergone a Breakthrough, and his Bottleneck had disappeared. As long as he was given time, he could Break through to the Late Golden Core Stage.

At that time, he would be preparing to Break through to Nascent Soul.

Besides these two treasures, Lin Shiming also took out several treasures he had obtained from the Azure Cloud Fox Clan.

The first treasure was the Minor Divine Power Fruit Tree. Because a Cultivator could only consume one fruit in their lifetime,

Lin Shiming also planned to give this Minor Divine Power Fruit to his father.

Although his father’s Aptitude was not good, he possessed Three Spiritual Roots and was currently in the Early Violet Palace Stage at over 250 years old.

Coupled with the Thousand Star Fruit and fu ling fire mulberry fruit he would provide, his lifespan would reach 800 years, and a Breakthrough to Golden Core would not be difficult if he followed the proper steps.

Lin Shiming made his decision and directly planted the Minor Divine Power Fruit Tree in his Grotto-heaven.

Besides the Minor Divine Power Fruit Tree, there was the ningjin fruit. For the Lin Family, no matter how many ningjin fruit they had, it wouldn’t be too many.

After all, Lin Shilei, Lin Zekong, Lin Zecheng, Lei Xuan, Lin Xianzhi, and Lin Houshou might all Break through immediately.

Besides them, there were also Lin Shiyi, Lin Shiyuan, Lin Zeli, Lin Yanjiao, and others.

Their Aptitude was relatively good, and their Breakthrough time wouldn’t be too far off.

After examining the Spirit Fruit Tree and the Spirit Fruit, Lin Shiming began to investigate the Spiritual Eye Spring.

This Spiritual Eye Spring was Sealed within a Spirit Seeking Compass. Once released, it could form a fifth-tier Spiritual Vein. Lin Shiming naturally didn’t hesitate. He entered his Grotto-heaven, went to the peak of a mountain, took out the Spirit Seeking Compass, and threw it towards the mountaintop.

Soon, a golden spring eye formed.

This spring eye emitted dazzling Spirit Light, creating a dense Spirit Light.

Lin Shiming was astonished by the rich Spiritual Qi he felt.

Although this Spiritual Eye Spring was not as good as a High Grade fifth-tier Spiritual Vein, in terms of the purity of Spiritual Qi, it was incomparable to a Spiritual Vein.

Moreover, the spirit water within the spring eye was even purer than fifth-tier spirit water.

Although it couldn’t reach the sixth-tier grade, it was definitely an extremely powerful spiritual item.

Seeing this Spiritual Eye Spring, Lin Shiming couldn’t help but think of the Spiritual Eye Tree and the Spiritual Eye Stone.

After all, these two were more powerful spiritual items than the Spiritual Eye Spring.

Lin Shiming sat by the spiritual spring and slowly began to Cultivate. Around him, countless Sword Intents also began to shine brightly.

While Lin Shiming was Cultivating, Old Wood and Star Spirit Shell also came out. They looked at the Spiritual Eye Spring, and both of their eyes revealed a longing.

However, seeing Lin Shiming Cultivating, the two of them, surprisingly, did not disturb him.

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Shiming also received the System prompt.

【Please properly preserve the Profound Nether Demonic Canon. You will have the opportunity to have an Ancient Demon infused into your body!】

Undoubtedly, this Profound Nether Demonic Canon was the black book, and the Demonic Runes on it were also Profound Nether Demonic Runes.

In the Ancient Demon Clan, this represented bloodline. However, Lin Shiming didn’t know if this bloodline was strong or not, but for him, the Lin Family would find it difficult to use.

Moreover, after an Ancient Demon infusion, for the Lin Family Cultivators, they would have to Ascend to the Demon Realm in the future.

Lin Shiming shook his head and did not continue to study the Profound Nether Demonic Canon.

Instead, he left the Grotto-heaven. The entire Demonic Cave had been greatly improved.

A market and a city had been built at the entrance of the Demonic Cave.

The entire Demonic Cave had been renamed and was now called Sinking Iron Cave.

This name was derived from the nether dark iron wood. This place was destined not to be the Lin Family’s main base, but only a resource point.

Moreover, the Lin Family’s war treasure ship was also circling the entire Sinking Iron Cave, clearing out as much as possible. Even some Yellow Rank and Profound Rank Secret Realms were being systematically cleared by Lin Family Cultivators.

Lin Shiming walked out of the Sinking Iron Cave and boarded a fifth-tier spirit boat nearby.

”Daoist Xu, this is what the Ye Family should receive this time!” Lin Shiming took out a Storage Pouch, which contained a three-thousand-year-old nether dark iron wood, over a million Spirit Stones, and several thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine.

Although these treasures were incomparable to what the Lin Family had obtained, it should also be noted that the Lin Family had contributed more effort.

Even without Daoist Xu Ye, the Lin Family could have achieved such a victory.

”Fellow Daoist Lin, I am ashamed to say that I did not help Fellow Daoist much, so I cannot accept rewards without merit!” Daoist Xu Ye shook her head.

”Who says there was no merit? Attracting the attention of Corpse Devil Daoist’s Devil Corpse and the subsequent focus were all contributions. Moreover, entering the Sinking Iron Cave carried no small risk!” Lin Shiming shook his head.

He was naturally not wrong about this point.

Hearing Lin Shiming say this, Daoist Xu Ye still shook her head:

”That was merely a small effort, and it would have been accomplished even without me. If Fellow Daoist Lin is generous, I wonder if your Family can produce the fifth-tier war treasure ship?” Daoist Xu Ye did not accept the treasures. For the Ye Family, refining a fifth-tier Spirit Puppet from three-thousand-year-old nether dark iron wood was nothing.

The impact of an Early Stage Golden Core battle strength was truly not significant.

What the Ye Family needed most now was a fifth-tier war treasure ship.

”No problem. I can make the decision to sell one to the Ye Family. Of course, the Ye Family will also need to exchange it for purple zenith sandalwood. Our Lin Family is not lacking in ordinary treasures!” Lin Shiming said.

Although Lin Zekong possessed a High Grade fourth-tier purple zenith sandalwood Wood Demon, the number of people in the Lin Family who consumed purple zenith sandalwood was simply too great. The high-ranking members all Cultivated the Soul Fusion Secret Canon, which consumed a lot of purple zenith sandalwood in the early stages.

However, the Lin Family had no choice but to do so, otherwise, the Cultivation of the four arts by Lin Shijin, Yu Jing, Lin Houshou, Lin Shitao, and others would not have improved so quickly.

Even Real Person Jiuxiao exchanged purple zenith sandalwood with his salary (stipend) every year.

”No problem, one ship is absolutely no problem! Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin!” Daoist Xu Ye was overjoyed. She had been pondering how to approach Lin Shiming about this. Now that Lin Shiming had offered it proactively and agreed, she was naturally immensely grateful.

She also knew what a fifth-tier war treasure ship meant.

Even Coral Island didn’t have one.

”Please rest assured, Fellow Daoist Lin, this kind of treasure ship will be kept as a trump card treasure of Hongye Island and will not be displayed casually!” Daoist Xu Ye assured again.

This matter was extremely important.

If Hongye Island had one, would the Lin Family also sell it to Coral Island? Would they sell it to Ten Thousand Buddha Island, Blood Cultivation Sect, or Chilan Sect on Nine Dragon Island?

These were all major powers, and if they offered a high price to purchase it, it would be truly difficult to refuse.

But for the Lin Family, this fifth-tier war treasure ship was highly likely to be exposed.

Even those major powers would want the refining method for the war treasure ship.

”Then thank you, Daoist Xu. As for these treasures, Daoist Xu, please also accept them. Otherwise, it will be truly difficult for us to cooperate with you!” Lin Shiming spoke again.

Seeing this, Daoist Xu Ye finally accepted the treasures.

However, the gratitude in her eyes towards Lin Shiming grew even deeper.

”Fellow Daoist Lin, when shall we continue to control the entire Chu Kingdom?” Daoist Xu Ye now understood some of the situation.

She had always thought that the Autumn Blood Sword was with Lin Shiming, so she wasn’t worried that anyone in the Eastern Domain could stop them.

”No problem, no hurry!” Lin Shiming shook his head.

After telling Daoist Xu Ye to wait patiently, she nodded.

Lin Shiming left the valley and went to the nearby Sinking Iron Cave. Lin Houshou had just finished setting up the Golden Light Formation.

But his face was full of helplessness.

”Shiming, this Formation won’t work. At least a High Grade fifth-tier Buddhist Formation Plate is needed, otherwise, it’s useless in this valley. Moreover, after casting the Buddhist Formation, the Demonic Qi of this Demonic Cave, as if stimulated, became even more terrifying!”

Lin Houshou pointed at the Demonic Qi spring eye below. A trace of Buddhist Light appeared in his hand, and the next moment, the spring eye began to surge wildly.

Lin Houshou retracted the Buddhist Light, and the spring eye returned to normal.

”Normal. This Ancient Demon Qi, speaking of it, is even more powerful than the Spiritual Qi of this realm. It’s normal for it to be sensitive to Buddhist Light!” Lin Shiming nodded.

Then, he proactively walked towards the Teleport Array.

He hadn’t visited Ten Thousand Buddha Island before, but this time, he could pay a visit.

The Teleport Array was set up on the sunny side of the Sinking Iron Cave, not far from the cave. Lin Shiming arrived in a few breaths.

”Seventh Uncle!” Lin Zelu landed there. At this moment, he was inspecting the Teleport Array. Moreover, to maintain the Lin Family’s high mobility, the Teleport Array was both visible and hidden, to prevent it from being destroyed.

Furthermore, the hidden one corresponded to two places: Cold Turtle Island and Shuangmu Island.

The Taihan Secret Realm on Cold Turtle Island had gathered many Lin Family Cultivators, and that was where the most support could be provided.

Other islands needed to maintain their stability, so they couldn’t spare anyone.

Lin Shiming also directly teleported to Shuangmu Island.

On the Teleport Array, Lin Xianzhi was also waiting there.

Seeing Lin Shiming emerge, he was also filled with joy.

”Shiming, how are things over there?”

”Everything went smoothly. The Family also discovered a clansman with Ice Spiritual Root and another with Three Spiritual Roots who is quite experienced in managing a household!” Lin Shiming took out a Jade Slip. Naturally, he couldn’t hide the matters of the Eastern Domain from Lin Xianzhi.

”By the way, Shiming, Shitao has also entered seclusion for her Breakthrough to Golden Core!” Lin Xianzhi said.

Lin Shiming was stunned when he heard this, but then he nodded.

Lin Shitao could be stubborn sometimes. Clearly, she believed that she couldn’t help him at the moment.

Therefore, she wanted to Break through as soon as possible to help Lin Shiming.
