Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

Lin Shiming, as the spellcaster, now wore a smile of sheer joy.

Although it took a long time to infuse spiritual energy into the Poisonous Dragon Vine seeds, the catalysis time was not long, and the severed vine continuing to entwine would definitely catch the enemy by surprise.

Even a Demonic Beast like the Golden Winged Mantis, known for its speed, wouldn't be able to react in time.

As for the intricacies, Lin Shiming had finally discovered that as long as the vine's tendrils stayed within the poison mist, they could be controlled indefinitely, which was also why the infusion took so long.

When facing the poison mist, cultivators would generally open a Spirit Shield to block it, never expecting that a chopped vine could still attack.

The testing of the Poisonous Dragon Vine had left him extremely satisfied. The only flaw was that there were only a little over ten seeds, and even with his Purple Wood Heart Sutra continuously nurturing, it would still take five years. For an ordinary cultivator, the catalyzing time would take over a decade.

Of course, what mattered was when the war would end and when he could start nurturing the seeds.

Lin Shiming retracted the vines, then fed the Golden Winged Mantis some second-rank Supreme Grade Beast Nurturing Pills and the flesh of spirit beasts.

These Supreme Grade Beast Nurturing Pills, which he bought from the Spirit Beast Sect's shop, were far more effective than ordinary pills, improving several times more. After consuming just a few, the Golden Winged Mantis had grown larger, now comparable to a robust ox.

And what he found remarkable was that beneath the wings of the Golden Winged Mantis, there seemed to be a bulge forming.

As if a fourth pair of wings was about to grow.

Its spirit might was on the verge of entering the early stage peak of the third rank, with any moment possibly bringing a breakthrough to the third rank middle stage.

This gave Lin Shiming even greater expectations for the Golden Winged Mantis.

After calming the Golden Winged Mantis, Lin Shiming also let out the Red-haired Demon Monkey to soothe it. At this moment, the monkey had mostly recovered, its arms barely able to hold the Crimson Flame Rod, swinging it with fierce might. With each movement, it could even draw upon Strange Fire to augment the power of the Crimson Flame Rod massively.

Profound Spirit Mountain, however, seemed to be somewhat disdainful to the Red-haired Demon Monkey.

But for the time being, Lin Shiming had no plans to send the Red-haired Demon Monkey back into battle.

After feeding the Red-haired Demon Monkey, he stored it in the Spirit Beast Bag as the level of spiritual energy in the Cave Heaven World was only of an inferior grade second rank, which even Qi Cultivators would likely scorn for cultivation—naturally, Lin Shiming couldn't leave them there.

Lin Shiming emerged from the Cave Heaven World, but in the next moment, he saw a flash of Spirit Light flying toward him, which he caught in his hand. It was a message transmission.

On a closer look, it was indeed from his great uncle Lin Xianzhi. Your next read awaits at empire

Having just found a moment of respite, Lin Shiming went straight to Lin Xianzhi's room.

Inside the room, his father, Lin Houyuan, was also present, and the two seemed to be discussing something.

"Shiming pays respects to Great Uncle and Father!" Lin Shiming said respectfully with a wave of his hand, and Lin Xianzhi along with Lin Houyuan nodded back with smiles.

For the two of them, it had nearly become a habit to smile whenever they saw Lin Shiming.

It wasn't just the joy of seeing a younger member of the family but also the hope of the Lin Family.

"Shiming, the Nine Leaves Competition is in three days. The family has acquired a few items for you!" Lin Xianzhi said with a smile, then handed a Storage Bag to Lin Shiming.

Lin Shiming took the Storage Bag, and in the next moment saw inside: a Supreme Grade Spirit Talisman and a Supreme Grade Magic Artifact, the Spirit Shield. Both were teeming with spirit might, extremely extraordinary.

```n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

This alarmed Lin Shiming greatly. A Supreme Grade Spirit Talisman wasn't too bad, three or four hundred thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones would suffice, but a Supreme Grade Magic Artifact like the Spirit Shield, being a premium Third Rank magic artifact, would cost at least a million Spirit Stones, and possibly even more if it came to an auction.

Not to mention that prices were even higher during the current turmoil of war.

Apart from that, this Spirit Shield alone could probably deplete Lin Xianzhi's resources, and to this day, Lin Xianzhi still did not possess a Supreme Grade magic shield, not even a Superior Grade Spirit Shield.

"Seventh Great-uncle, father, this is too precious!"

"This is what you deserve as the Family Head. Remember, the family doesn't just rely on your protection. Besides, if you manage to seize the opportunity for Dao Enlightenment this time and comprehend Divine Skills, the chances of reaching the Purple Mansion will greatly increase.

That's when the family will truly reap endless benefits and possibly restore the glory of the Purple Mansion Family," Lin Xianzhi solemnly lectured, but seeing that Lin Shiming was still visibly worried, he added:

"However, rest assured, the family has also purchased new magic artifacts for your father and Seventh Great-uncle for this occasion. Otherwise, we would have considered adding a Supreme Grade magic sword for you!"

Seeing this, Lin Shiming nodded and accepted it, without showing much emotion, which, of course, was impossible.

But he understood better that what he needed to do was to strive in his cultivation, and at the same time, vie for the opportunity for Dao Enlightenment to envision the embryonic form of Divine Skills.

Comprehending Divine Skills in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment was an unbelievably fanciful notion, but just grasping the barest hint of Divine Skills would not only double his chances of breaking through to Purple Mansion, it would also allow him to complete the skills upon reaching Purple Mansion, and cultivate a true Minor Divine Ability.

It should be known that even the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, a miraculous elixir for breaking through to the Purple Mansion, only increases the chances by thirty percent.

Of course, participating in the Nine Leaves Dao Enlightenment does not guarantee comprehension of Divine Skills Embryos; in past years there wasn't even such a legend. It was only after the last Nine Leaves Dao Enlightenment, when three people comprehended the embryos of Divine Skills, that the significance of the Dao Enlightenment platform was elevated to its highest esteem.

"Shiming, these items will also be entrusted to you for safekeeping. With your current strength, you might not be much inferior to me!" Lin Xianzhi looked at Lin Shiming's resolute gaze and grew increasingly satisfied. After much thought, he took down another Storage Bag and handed it to Lin Shiming.

Lin Shiming was somewhat puzzled at the moment, but he still subconsciously accepted the Storage Bag and probed it with his Divine Sense.

To his astonishment, inside the Storage Bag were two Purple Mansion Magical Treasures that their Lin Family had harvested from the Purple Mansion Cave Mansion—the Gold Light Brick and the Heaven-Breaking Ring!

As well as the Spirit Seeking Plate that the Lin Family had moved out of the Purple Mansion Cave Mansion along with the Spirit Vein; it should be known that contained within this plate was an Inferior Grade Fourth Rank Spirit Vein.

"Seventh Great-uncle, these items are too valuable, Shiming might have difficulty safeguarding them..." Lin Shiming said, feeling somewhat apprehensive at the moment.

"What, the Family Head doesn't safeguard them, so an old man like me who's about to be buried should take charge?" Lin Xianzhi retorted.

Lin Shiming felt a jolt in his heart and was momentarily speechless.

He couldn't help but look towards Lin Xianzhi's hair and face, filled with concern.

Clearly, the most worrying scene was about to unfold; Lin Xianzhi's lifespan was not much longer, and he had already entrusted the family to others.

"Don't worry, this old man can still hold on for five or six more years!" Lin Xianzhi said nonchalantly, then waved his hand, signaling Lin Shiming to go and prepare, not giving Lin Shiming a chance to refuse.

Seeing this, Lin Shiming had no choice but to take his leave, and Lin Houyuan also exited the room with him.

At this moment, Lin Xianzhi sat in the chair, took out the Qinglian Sword, and continuously caressed its patterns.

His gaze seemed to pierce through time, faintly envisioning a spirited young man, kneeling before an old man in a purple robe who smiled kindly.

And the elder, handing over his most cherished Qinglian Sword.

Along with the jade slip of the Renshui Geng Metal Art.
