The shattered cliff face was bare now, the Five Extre Deathly Winds Formation having dissipated.
It revealed a wall pitted and pocked from the countless spells that had bombarded it.
"Lin Xianzhi, if you do not cease, I will surely kill this child!" Huangyun Qi's expression was cold, and he brandished a Third Rank Superior Grade magic sword that shone brilliantly, slashing fiercely towards Lin Shiming.
His divine sense locked on, unleashing the Third Rank magic artifact in a flying slash.
"You dare!" Lin Xianzhi's usually calm heart could no longer remain still at this mont!
He too desperately urged on the Qinglian Sword in his hand, generating countless beams of Green Lotus Sword Qi, pressing forward with powerful Sword Intent, leaving nothing in reserve, crushing the opposition.
The blue light of the Green Lotus Sword shot out in an instant, even faster than the flying sword, knocking Huangyun Qi's magic sword aside.
Huangyun Qi, failing to strike, was not angry but instead pleased, for it ant Lin Xianzhi truly cared.
He then transford his true yuan into a palm strike, reaching out to grasp Lin Shiming.
But against his expectations, the true yuan palm strike resounded with a boom, hitting the ground instead.
Where Lin Shiming had stood, there was no trace left except for the fluctuations of spiritual energy from an Earth Escape Talisman.
With the dissolution of the Five Extre Deathly Winds Formation, the Earth Escape Talisman naturally beca usable. Only a hundred ters away did the figure of Lin Shiming appear, gasping for breath.
With his blow missing the mark, Huangyun Qi's face looked extrely ugly.
However, what was most fatal at this mont was that Lin Xianzhi in the distance had already launched the Green Lotus Sword.
A sword light dozens of yards long fell, and under Huangyun Qi's great shock, he barely had ti to bring his sword in defense horizontally.
With a crisp sound, he was overwheld by the sword light.
With that, Huangyun Qi fell!
Not a single cultivator from the Huang Family survived, the Lin Family erged triumphant.
Yet not one person could muster any joy.
All eyes were on the half-ledge that fell away, as if the third elder who had always been silent and selflessly committed was still there, rely concealed by the formation.
"Gather the spoils of war, we're returning to Fangmu Mountain!" Lin Xianzhi's somber voice carried forth, and he threw out the Spirit Boat, flying once more towards Yunzhou.
Fearing that Huangyun Qi might have left so tricks behind, no one suggested to sit and recover their energy.
On the Spirit Boat, Lin Shiming too silently gazed at the sea of clouds, then at Lin Xianzhi who sat alone at the front of the Spirit Boat.
The figure of the latter in front of the Spirit Boat appeared so transcendent, or perhaps, so solitary.
Next to him, Second Grandfather Lin Yunqi was still in his usual spot, his gaze fixed on the spot where Lin Yushui had stood before.
Lin Shiming also couldn't help but feel so sadness.
Peach Blossom Valley, the range of Qingyun Mountain, and the Ridge of Cliffs, one after another, elders departed.
But likewise, this is the path of immortal cultivation.
Treacherous and dangerous!
On the path of defying the heavens in pursuit of the Dao, one will ultimately, like the great-great-great-uncle, continue alone. There are few who can accompany you to the very end.
At this mont, Lin Shiming once again felt the significance of the family seed to grow larger.
The bond of blood, the companionship in following the Great Dao.
At the sa ti, the lineage of the family continues.
There are no evergreens in the world, old leaves will always be broken by the wind, but the broken dry leaves will turn into soil, nurturing more buds, and these young leaves will grow stronger, more vibrant.
Qi Cultivation families raise Foundation Establishnt cultivators, Foundation Establishnt families raise Purple Mansion cultivators, Purple Mansion families raise Golden Core cultivators; this is the cycle of a cultivator family...
It was three days after returning to Fangmu Mountain. On the Spirit Boat, people like Lin Shiming were recovering well, but Lin Xianzhi, who piloted the Spirit Boat, still had severe injuries and was now in closed-door cultivation at the Lotus Pool.
In addition to that, Lin Shiming's father, Lin Houyuan, also announced that he would enter closed-door cultivation at the Lotus Pool to heal and to prepare for his breakthrough to Foundation Establishnt.
All affairs of the family would be managed by Lin Yuqi in the anti.
Lin Shiming, for the ti being, found himself without any pressing matters. In the battle that day, he contributed greatly and ended up with Huang Lingling's Storage Bag, a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator. As for Huang Licheng's Storage Bag, it was completely destroyed in the explosion.
The remaining five cultivators each received two Storage Bags from Qi Cultivation Ninth Level cultivators. The extra one, along with Lin Yushui's formation flag relic, was given to her son, Lin Houshou.
Now that he was back in the family, he finally had the opportunity to inspect his spoils.
He was indeed very much looking forward to examining the Foundation Establishnt Cultivator's Storage Bag.
After erasing Huang Lingling's remaining Divine Sense, Lin Shiming's own Divine Sense entered the Storage Bag.
Huang Lingling's Storage Bag was far larger than Lin Shiming's, with the entire space equivalent to a big room.
Inside, there were several wooden racks; one of them displayed Jade Slips, while the one next to it held Magic Artifacts and Spirit Talismans, and at the very end was a wooden rack with boxes of Spirit Stones and so Spirit Pills.
The first thing he checked were the Jade Slips, not only because they could be copied, but also because they could be turned over to the family in exchange for a good number of Contribution Points.
As he examined each Jade Slip, Lin Shiming was pleasantly surprised to discover that Huang Lingling was actually a Third Rank Inferior Grade Artifact Refiner.
The first Jade Slip was Huang Lingling's own notes on Artifact Refining, detailing his insights and notes from beginner to Third Rank Artifact Refiner. It was especially thorough.
Lin Shiming was quite satisfied with this as it was an excellent learning resource both for the family and for his own future studies in Artifact Refining.
It was not to be taken for granted, knowing that the Lin Family only had a Second Rank Supre Grade Artifact Refiner, and no Third Rank Artifact Refiner up to this point.
However, when he saw the second Jade Slip, Lin Shiming was taken aback. The slip was titled "Formation Artifact Manual."
It detailed how to use formations to enhance the level of Artifact Refining.
It could even enable a Second Rank Supre Grade Artifact Refiner to craft Third Rank Magic Artifacts!
This was unheard of before now.
The "Formation Artifact Manual" was extrely important to the Lin Family and, after so research, its theories could potentially be applied to Alchemy as well.
If that were the case, the appearance of a Third Rank Alchemist and a Third Rank Artifact Refiner in the Lin Family wouldn't be far off!
This was extrely significant for the Lin Family and could even be considered on par with the effect of the Foundation Establishnt Pill.
Lin Shiming suppressed the excitent in his heart and continued to review the Jade Slips. The subsequent Jade Slips turned out to be quite ordinary, including cultivation miscellany, maps, and so secrets of the Huang Family.
The majority were manuals for crafting standard Magic Artifacts.
Lin Shiming then skipped over the Jade Slips and started examining the Magic Artifacts.
The most notable was undoubtedly the Third Rank Inferior Grade Flying Sword, which could fetch tens of thousands of Spirit Stones at an auction.
Of course, he had a better use for it: for his father.
Once his father broke through to Foundation Establishnt, he would naturally need a Third Rank Magic Artifact. Given the Foundation Establishnt Pill and the Contribution Points he had saved, he already owed the family seventy to eighty thousand Contribution Points.
He was much poorer than Lin Shiming.
Besides the Third Rank Flying Sword, there were Supre Grade Magic Artifacts, including a Supre Grade Flying Sword and a Supre Grade defensive shield.
To Lin Shiming, these items weren't particularly enticing, as he already had the Green Sky Sword and the Thick Earth Shield. Nevertheless, both items were valuable, at least worth five or six thousand Spirit Stones each.
He hadn't seen the expected Third Rank Spirit Talisman. Presumably, it was used during the battle, and as for the Spirit Stones and Spirit Pills, they were even more disappointing to Lin Shiming.
The fortune was even less than his own.
Just over two thousand Spirit Stones and the elixirs were all for healing, none surpassing Second Rank Superior Grade.
It was practically the poorest a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator could be.
