Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

Underground hall, beside the Transmission Formation, Lin Shiming was still frowning tightly, staring intently at the Transmission Formation.

Next to him, the Golden Winged Mantis and Lin Shizhong and Lin Shijin were also watching, but whenever they did, they couldn't help but glance at the Golden Winged Mantis, whose golden insect body was indeed eye-catching.

On the contrary, the Red-haired Demon Monkey kept flitting from left to right with the Crimson Flame Rod in hand and around Profound Spirit Mountain, utterly restless.

It couldn't calm down at all.

As time dripped away, the sense of tension grew thicker and heavier.

With the rise of a dazzling white light, the trio's focus sharpened to the extreme.

Lin Shiming's Spirit Art was already half-conjured.

The moment he sensed even the slightest irregularity, he would immediately destroy the Transmission Formation.

The white light faded, and the Chen-surnamed elder and the Xu-surnamed cultivator appeared within the transmission platform.

Lin Shiming breathed a sigh of relief, crushing the half-formed Spirit Art and letting the Spirit Light dissipate into nothingness.

Instead, it was the Chen-surnamed elder and his companion whose expressions were somewhat ugly now. They, of course, noticed Lin Shiming's vigilance, but thinking of the plans they had made, a look of disappointment crossed their eyes:

"Elder Lin, the place on the other side of the Transmission Formation is an island, rich in resources but also plentiful with Demonic Beasts. Even with the two of us working together, we were not without danger. Otherwise, we would surely have brought back a gift for you..."

The Chen-surnamed elder narrated, while the Xu-surnamed cultivator constantly added remarks on the side.

They described it vividly.

Picturing an island filled with treasures, guarded only by Second Rank Demonic Beasts.

Finally, they spoke of their frustration when attempting to retrieve the treasures as if they would crush those Sea Cloud Birds to dust if they could.

Their goal was to bring all the treasures to the Lin Family in exchange for their freedom.

Watching from the side, Lin Shizhong and Lin Shijin both seemed to yearn for the resources of the island; as Qi Cultivation late-stage cultivators, since these two Loose Cultivators had safely returned, they naturally didn't consider themselves weaker than those two.

Lin Shiming nodded, indicating his belief.

He naturally believed there were treasures on the other side of the Transmission Formation, and the fact that these two carried injuries showed that they had indeed engaged in battle.

"Come here and take your elixirs!"

"Thank you, Elder Lin!" The Chen-surnamed elder and the Xu-surnamed cultivator repeatedly expressed their gratitude.

But as the two approached, a metal ring suddenly appeared, which then turned into a golden light and wrapped around them.

It was the Monster Binding Ring, a Superior Grade Third Rank Magic Artifact.

Under the flickering golden light, not even Third Rank middle-stage Demonic Beasts could move, and it was even more hopeless for these two, who couldn't even manage to take deep breaths.

They could only stare with wide eyes, panic-stricken.

"Elder Lin, what is this?" Although the Chen-surnamed elder's heart was filled with extreme terror, he still tried to keep a calm facade.

However, as Lin Shiming approached, the Xu-surnamed cultivator was the first to beg for mercy, shaking his head as if it were a rattle:

"Elder Lin, it was all Chen's doing! I had no evil intentions, I am willing to mine for the Lin Family for a hundred years!"

The actions of the Xu-surnamed cultivator also thoroughly exposed him, and the Chen-surnamed elder looked at him as if he were an idiot, giving him a fierce glare.

Then, resigning himself to fate, he turned to Lin Shiming with a face ashen as if he were already dead:

"The victor becomes king while the loser is the bandit. Old Chen has failed twice now and doesn't ask to live, but I'm curious how Elder Lin figured it out?"

"I didn't figure it out; it's just that Lin has always preferred to look for himself," Lin Shiming shook his head calmly in response and then his immense Divine Sense violently invaded both their minds, preparing to employ the soul-searching technique.

The two Loose Cultivators didn't have a Family Jade Book, so at that moment, they simply couldn't resist Lin Shiming's soul-scouting with his late-stage Foundation Establishment Divine Sense.

Under the overwhelming Divine Sense, Lin Shiming glanced through their memories.

The vast sea of trivial memories also posed a significant pressure on Lin Shiming, but fortunately, he finally found the memories related to the Transmission Formation.

From the beginning, he never intended to listen to the two of them. Being mere Loose Cultivators, his Divine Sense could search their souls at will. How could he possibly take their one-sided words for it!

Even if they talked a blue streak, it was not enough to be trustworthy.

The soul-searching came to an end, and Lin Shiming finally revealed a smile.

The opportunity for the development the Lin Family had been seeking for so desperately seemed to have appeared.

The Lin Family, and even the entirety of Yunzhou, were actually under the surveillance of Qingxuan Sect.

Any action was extremely difficult to hide from the scrutiny of Qingxuan Sect, and the very existence of Yunzhou was merely to create a buffer zone in case the Demon Kings launched a monster tide.

It was said that this was to not impose restrictions on families and let Yunzhou Cultivators develop on their own, but it was really due to the awe of the Demon Kings in the Qingyun Mountain range.

If a monster tide were to come, and they faced a truly hopeless situation, Yunzhou would absolutely be the first to be abandoned.

Moreover, most of the resource spots in the Qingyun mountain range had been surveyed, and those that had not were located in the inner parts of the mountains. Not to mention Golden Core Demon Kings, even the Purple Mansion Great Demons were not entities the Lin Family could afford to provoke.

Being able to obtain the Golden Iron Crystal mine was already a stroke of extreme luck for the Lin Family, but to find another safe Spirit Mine in the Qingyun mountain range was almost impossible. In contrast, the Outer Sea held opportunities, and what was most important was that no one could interfere in them.

With a sudden twist of his hand, Lin Shiming instantly ended the lives of the two Loose Cultivators.

Lin Shijin and Lin Shizhong, standing beside him, once again looked at Lin Shiming with even more admiration in their eyes.

If it were them, they might have fallen into the traps of the two Loose Cultivators.

"Let's go, back to the Lin Family!" Lin Shiming retrieved the Teleportation Talisman from the hands of the two Loose Cultivators and spoke directly.

Lin Shizhong and Lin Shijin were visibly taken aback.

"What they said about the Demonic Beasts is true. Back to the family, summon the Demon Hunting Team, let's hunt Demons!" Lin Shiming explained.

"We also have a location for the family competition!" Lin Shiming added, smiling slightly before striding forward.

From the memories of the two Loose Cultivators, he knew that the island was in the Outer Sea, which was home to numerous Demonic Beasts. The rulers of the island were a group of Sea Cloud Birds, with the highest Cultivation Level being a late-stage Third Rank Demonic Beast.

Beyond that, there were also Water Spirit Coconuts on the island, a Superior Grade Second Rank Spirit Fruit. There were even over ten coconut king trees, which were Third Rank Spirit Trees. Should he get hold of them, all Lin Family Foundation Establishment Cultivators would have suitable Spirit Fruits to consume.

By then, Lin Houyuan, and even Lin Shijie's speed of breaking through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, would surely increase.

This was a tremendous opportunity for the current Lin Family.

A greater opportunity than the Golden Iron Crystal!

At the same time, this would also be the Lin Family's chance for rapid development in the future.

...

At Fangmu Mountain, in the council hall.

As the only Elder of the Yu generation present at Fangmu Mountain, Lin Yuzheng was acting as the Family Head.

At the moment, he was looking at a thick stack of documents handed over by Lin Houyuan, with his brows deeply furrowed.

The Lin Family's triennial Ascension Event concluded once again, and this time, sixty new cultivators with Spirit Roots joined the family, pushing the total number of Lin Family Cultivators past the five hundred mark.

The increase in the number of Cultivators was certainly a cause for joy for the Lin Family, but it must be noted that eighty percent of the Spirit Root Cultivators were descendants of Lin Family Cultivators, all in response to the Lin Family's childbirth reward policy.

The annual rewards alone constituted a significant expenditure each year.

Furthermore, over the past decade, under the policy of reward for meeting challenges, quite a few of those with Fourth Spirit Roots had shown remarkable talents. Not to mention the Third Spirit Root Cultivators, their salaries were also a large sum of money. Most importantly, the demand for Elixirs and spiritual materials was exceeding the supply.
