Atop Fangmu Mountain, the formation was fully activated, shrouding the mountain in a blanket of white fog, while everyone's faces were clouded with worry.
By the Qinglian Pool, Lin Shijie, along with Fourth Elder Lin Yutie and Fifth Elder Lin Yuzheng, stood silently beside Lin Houyuan's cave mansion, waiting.
The next mont, a streak of golden light arrived in the sky.
A Spirit Boat slowly descended.
Upon seeing this, Lin Shijie imdiately brightened with joy and opened the formation.
Lin Xianzhi and the others landed directly atop Fangmu Mountain, beside the Qinglian Pool.
"Seventh Great-Uncle!"
"Seventh Great-Uncle!"
"Seventh Great-Uncle!"
Cultivators of three different generations paid their respects in unison.
However, everyone was sowhat shocked when they noticed Lin Xianzhi's white hair, clearly unaware of what had transpired.
Fortunately, upon seeing that the entire party had returned without a single person missing, their expressions improved slightly.
But there was still a gravity to their deanors.
Lin Xianzhi did not offer any further explanation, nor was there a need to, but seeing the worried looks on Lin Shijie and the others, he felt a vague sense of foreboding in his heart.
"Why do you all look so troubled, has sothing happened to Houyuan?"
"Seventh Great-Uncle, Uncle Nine encountered an ambush by the Li Family's Foundation Establishnt cultivators on his way back, but, thankfully, with the help of Cultivator Xie, he managed to escape with his life. He's currently recuperating in his cave mansion,"
Lin Shijie looked at Lin Shiming with so concern. He had witnessed the severity of Lin Houyuan's injuries, and the enemy had been incredibly ruthless.
"The Li Family, Shiming, we can't delay any longer. I must make a trip to the Qingxuan Sect. Stay here to guard Fangmu Mountain until I return!" Lin Xianzhi's brow was deeply furrowed.
Recently, the Li Family had been exceedingly vicious.
Moreover, since the Li Family harbored Demon Cultivators, it was possible they had already aligned themselves with the Demon Sect. Given the relationship between the Li and Lin Families, if sothing happened to the Qingxuan Sect, the Lin Family would undoubtedly be dood to destruction.
Lin Xianzhi left behind a number of Spirit Talismans and several spirit-seeking discs before departing on the Spirit Boat.
Lin Shiming and the others continued to wait outside the Qinglian Pool.
Several days later, a ssage transmitted from Lin Houyuan's cave mansion indicated he was out of danger but still needed ti to recuperate.
Only then did everyone disperse to attend to their own affairs.
Lin Shiming returned to his cave mansion, his recent venture to the Purple Mansion Cave Mansion having been imnsely fruitful.
The power of the Purple Wood Profound Heavenly Sword Formation had allowed him to battle cultivators of a higher rank—matching even Foundation Establishnt Middle Stage cultivators without faltering.
He was also highly satisfied with the combination of the Golden Winged Mantis and the Qinglian Taoist Robe.
The horrors of the Golden Winged Mantis lay in its speed and peerless attack power, while the Qinglian Taoist Robe's concealnt effect provided the perfect complent to it.
In addition, Lin Shiming had obtained the Storage Bags of three Foundation Establishnt Middle Stage cultivators; two belonged to the Li Family cultivators he had slain, and the other to Qian Ziyun, who had been killed by the Li Family cultivator.
Thinking of this, Lin Shiming instantly remained vigilant, realizing that in the future, he would need to be even more cautious, lest his own Storage Bag end up in soone else's hands one day.
He first examined the Storage Bags of the two Li Family cultivators.
Upon counting, there were approximately two hundred thousand Spirit Stones in total, and he also acquired a pair of mother-and-son swords, as well as one hundred and eight swords to form the Tiangang Sword Formation.
Among them, there were three Third Rank Interdiate Grade Spirit Swords, five Third Rank Inferior Grade Spirit Swords, and one hundred Second Rank Supre Grade magic swords.
Just these Spirit Swords alone are worth 400,000 Spirit Stones, which ans he beca wealthy in an instant.
Of course, Lin Shiming did not regard them as re Spirit Stones when it ca to the Tiangang Sword Formation.
In the belongings of the cultivator from the Li Family who had passed away during Foundation Establishnt, Lin Shiming also found the thod to arrange the Tiangang Sword Formation. As long as his Divine Sense was strong enough, he would have no trouble arranging two formations at the sa ti.
Besides the Spirit Swords and Spirit Stones, he also obtained a third-rank interdiate grade Spirit Shield. Moreover, it was an extrely rare Wood Attribute Spirit Shield, which he nad the Kuimu Shield.
Lastly, there was a third-rank inferior grade Inner Armor that had been pierced through with a large hole; its Spirit Intelligence was greatly damaged and would require the Fourth Elder, Lin Yutie, to reforge it before it could be used again.
He also got several third-rank inferior grade Spirit Talismans, although they were all offensive talismans with effects that were only slightly better than nothing.
The last Storage Bag he opened belonged to a cultivator from the Qian Family, and it was the one Lin Shiming was most looking forward to.
Qian Ziyun had also entered the Purple Mansion Cave Mansion, so it was possible he had left with things from there. Also, as the unrivaled genius of the Qian Family, the contents of his Storage Bag should logically be richer.
Upon entering the Storage Bag, what first caught his eye was a third-rank interdiate grade Magic Artifact, the Fiery Banner, which Lin Shiming had seen Qian Ziyun use before, possessing extrely powerful force.
Acquiring another treasure also brought a smile to his face.
Besides the Fiery Banner, there was also a third-rank inferior grade Spirit Shield. Having already obtained the Kuimu Shield, he was sowhat disappointed, but it also showed how rare third-rank interdiate grade defensive Magic Artifacts were.
"This is..." Lin Shiming's attention was drawn to an ancient-looking sandalwood box. Upon opening the box, seeds brimming with Spiritual Energy ca into view.
He picked up a Spirit Seed and slowly infused it with the Wood Attribute True Essence from within his body.
In the next mont, the Spirit Seed began to sprout in his hand.
"Third-rank vine-type rapid-growth seeds!" Lin Shiming was overjoyed!
For Lin Shiming, who was accustod to using vine techniques, the most troubling issue after his Foundation Establishnt breakthrough was not having matching vine seeds.
The Snake Vine Flower and Iron Thornwood were now relegated to the role of re distractions against Foundation Establishnt cultivators, the sa as ordinary wood vines were before.
With these seeds, as long as he nurtured them through one cycle, they would beco another asset for him.
The Sword Array was primarily for trapping and killing, vines for entanglent, and the Golden Winged Mantis for assassinations!
Thinking of this, Lin Shiming could not help but feel even happier.
The rest of the items were not very valuable, amounting to about a hundred thousand Spirit Stones and so odd and curious pieces of furniture like tables, jade beds, and stone stools!
Clearly, these were moved out from the Purple Mansion Cave Mansion.
Having sorted the Storage Bag completely, Lin Shiming finally lay down in the cave, quietly healing and recovering.
Upon rising the next day, he resud his life as it was before the Purple Mansion Cave Mansion incident.
Cultivating his techniques, catalyzing the Heavenly Spirit Fruit Tree and the Minor Divine Ability Tree.
Ever since his advancent to Foundation Establishnt, Lin Shiming beca even more adept at catalyzing the third-rank inferior grade Spirit Tree that produced Heavenly Spirit Fruits, at least shortening the maturation ti of the Heavenly Spirit Fruits by more than three tis. As for The Minor Divine Ability Tree, it finally showed results.
But the rate of hastening maturity was not particularly good, just less than half, which still gave him enough reason to be thrilled. After all, the Minor Divine Ability Tree would take hundreds of years to mature.
His daily care of the Spirit Plants also helped his proficiency as a Spirit Plant Master to naturally advance to the late stages of the second rank. Even benefitting from the perks of his cultivation techniques, he was on the verge of touching the threshold of the third rank as a Spirit Plant Master.
At this mont, a Spirit ssage Talisman flew through the sky. Lin Shiming caught the ssage and ceased his current activities.
The next mont, Lin Shiming hastily opened the Formation, flying directly to the Council Hall. Continue reading stories on mvl
The Spirit ssage was not about his father exiting seclusion; instead, it was that the Lin Family had detected a Spirit Root Cultivator with a unique Spirit Root.
In the history of the Lin Family, such a discovery was unprecedented. It was known that cultivators with unique Spirit Roots had almost a guaranteed chance of reaching Purple Mansion and were highly likely to achieve Golden Core!
