Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Fourth Rank Spiritual Vein
Lin Xianzhi eventually nodded, for at this juncture, just as it had been at the Xing County Square Market, there was no other choice!
In the path of cultivation, how could one not take any risks?
Seeing Lin Xianzhi nod, Qian Bosheng also heaved a sigh of relief and then unexpectedly gave the Lin Family another pill bottle, within which was a drop of thousand-year-old spirit milk.
He also gave Lin Xianzhi a jade slip, which was precisely the pill formula for the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid.
"Daoist Lin, this thousand-year-old spirit milk is our Qian Family's small token of appreciation for your generous assistance earlier without holding grudges! I hope you will accept it."
Lin Xianzhi didn't move, and for a moment, the situation became awkward.
Seeing this, a bitter smile appeared on Qian Bosheng's face, and then he spoke,
"Moreover, I swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao that all treasures like jade slips have been backed up for the Lin Family and the Qian Family has only kept one of the magical treasures!"
After Qian Bosheng said so, Lin Xianzhi then accepted the jade slip and the thousand-year-old spirit milk.
Otherwise, the sly and cunning Qian Bosheng might very well have hidden some good treasures.
At this time, Qian Bosheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, gave his thanks with cupped fists, and then turned to find Qian Zichu.
As for the Li Family Foundation Establishment cultivator who had been battling with Qian Zichu, he was slain by Lin Xianzhi with a single sword strike after the talisman proved its power.
Once Qian Bosheng left, Lin Xianzhi found Lin Houyong once again, and everyone gathered in front of the Purple Mansion Cave Mansion.
"Shiming, you and Yu Qing continue to search the cave mansion to see if there are any remaining treasures!"
"Hou Shou, you and Hou Yong continue to work on the simplified version of the Nine Yuan Xuan Heaven Formation, I need to recover some True Yuan!" Lin Xianzhi did not take the thousand-year-old spirit milk, as it was no longer necessary at that moment.
Even if Qian Bosheng had consumed the spirit milk, he was still suffering from the severe poison of Li Chengzhi, and would not be able to control his injuries for a while.
After all his orders were given, Lin Xianzhi carved out a new cave mansion for himself on the side and entered to sit in meditation and cultivate.
Meanwhile, Lin Shiming went with Lin Yuqing to continue searching for treasures inside the Purple Mansion Cave Mansion.
Although it was highly likely that the place had been ransacked by the Qian Family, leaving nothing behind, both of them still searched very thoroughly.
Inside the Purple Mansion Cave Mansion, there was a massive chamber under the surface, resembling an underground world. It served not only as the Hermit Mo Yun's residence but also led to the Mo Family's ancestral hall where the memorial tablets of the Mo Family's ancestors were enshrined.
The Purple Mansion Cave Mansion had been picked clean, and Lin Shiming even noticed the residue of tables on the ground.
The Qian Family had even taken the tables and beds, likely including quite a few Third Rank treasures, which he found regrettable.
Though the Purple Mansion Cave Mansion was empty, the Mo Family's ancestral hall seemed untouched.
But the hall originally had few items to begin with.
Besides the memorial tablets, there were only two meditation cushions.
The offering table, apart from an incense burner, was bare as well!
What shocked Lin Shiming was the presence of Golden Core Cultivators' tablets among the over a hundred memorial tablets.
It seemed that when the Mo Family was at its zenith, they likely were a daunting force with a Golden Core True Person at the helm.
"Shiming, let's not disturb the ancestral hall. Since we have taken the Mo Family's treasures, we have benefited from their kindness. Let's offer some incense," Lin Yuqing suggested from the side.
"Alright, great-grandfather!" Lin Shiming nodded; he himself was not particularly moved, but for elder clan members like Lin Yuqing who were of an older generation, there seemed to be a great reverence for memorial tablets in an ancestral hall.
The two took out some sandalwood incense, performed a simple ritual, and then offered two sticks of incense in the burner.
Surprisingly, Lin Yuqing looked solemn, muttering something under his breath.
Lin Shiming, however, glanced at the incense burner and then at the meditation cushions.
The incense burner was an ordinary one, but in the next moment, the meditation cushion gave Lin Shiming the same aura as the Awakening Spirit Flower.
He bent down unconsciously, pressing his hand on the cushion.
The next moment, he felt his emotions plummet suddenly, becoming calm and peaceful. It was as if dozens of mantras for clearing the mind and purifying desire were chanting in his head.
The previous restlessness and the joy of having survived a calamity settled down instantly.
"Great-grandfather, this cushion is a treasure!" Lin Shiming managed to control his excitement as he spoke.
With this cushion, cultivators could have a clearer control over their cultivation, preventing restlessness caused by external factors, and also controlling the birth of Heart Demons. It was indeed a beneficial treasure for breakthroughs.
After offering incense, Lin Yuqing also took a look at the cushion, and the next moment he was extraordinarily surprised.
He hadn't expected to find two fine treasures inside the ancestral hall.
After putting away the cushion, the two surveyed the entire cave mansion for a long time before they finally stopped.
Lin Yuqing had no issues, but Lin Shiming found a stone chamber in the cave mansion and began to treat his injuries and recover.
After half an hour, Lin Shiming received a message and appeared in the cave mansion. At this moment, both Qian Bosheng and Qian Zichu from the Qian Family were present. Qian Bosheng's complexion had obviously improved a lot, while Qian Zichu, who had been more seriously injured, was still stabilizing his condition.
Seeing Lin Shiming looking over, the latter also gave him a kind gaze.
If Lin Shiming hadn't taken action and demonstrated his divine might by luring away two Demonic Beasts, he couldn't possibly have survived against one person and four beasts.
"Daoist Lin, a Demon Cultivator has appeared in the Li Family, and this is no small matter!" Qian Bosheng spoke solemnly before departing, his eyes very somber.
Lin Xianzhi also nodded and spoke earnestly:
"Daoist Qian, upon our return, we must promptly report that a Demon Cultivator has emerged in the Li Family. Otherwise, I fear the Demonic Sect might get ideas!"
The two set a plan in just a few words, as this matter could not be taken lightly.
If there were no Demon Cultivators in the Li Family, they would all need to unite against a common enemy at this moment, all the more so because there was a perfect opportunity at hand.
After discussing the details, Qian Bosheng took his leave.
Meanwhile, the people of the Lin Family also breathed a sigh of relief and began to turn their attention to the Fourth Rank Spiritual Vein.
"Let's go and claim the Fourth Rank Spiritual Vein; from now on, our Lin Family will once again possess a Fourth Rank Spiritual Vein!" Lin Xianzhi declared with a bright voice, his eyes shining brilliantly in this moment.
The Lin Family did not delay. Lin Xianzhi took out the Spirit Seeking Disk and commenced the recovery of the Spiritual Vein.
However, this time it was a massive Fourth Rank Spiritual Vein, which an ordinary Spirit Seeking Disk simply couldn't contain.
Lin Xianzhi had no choice but to use several Spirit Seeking Disks, dividing the Fourth Rank Spiritual Vein into five parts to be contained, and only then was the recovery of the Spiritual Vein complete.
Still, this method caused great loss to the Spiritual Vein, and even after reassembling, it might directly drop in rank. But it was the best solution available at the moment.
It was out of the question to ask for assistance from the Sect's Purple Mansion or the Li Family's Purple Mansion!

On the way of the Qian Family, Qian Zichu looked towards Qian Bosheng, still somewhat puzzled.
"Fourth Uncle, why did we not take part in the distribution of the Spiritual Vein? Since we've reached a consensus, we should be able to get a share of the Spiritual Vein!"
"Foolish!" Qian Bosheng spoke up.
"Apart from Lin Xianzhi's strength, we wouldn't stand a chance because of the Formation they've already set up. Besides, Lin Xianzhi is just an old cultivator at the twilight of his years; he has only a few years to live and must not be pressed. Now that our family has already obtained the prescription for the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, let's not cause unnecessary trouble."
"You should pay more attention to that young Lin Shiming. Truly a rare talent! Under thirty years old, so decisive, cunning, and strong; his future is limitless!
"Also, thoroughly investigate our family; there must already be spies from the Li Family. And that Qi Cultivation Elder from the Huang Family, along with the remaining members, must be uprooted completely!"
