The night was clear, and the island seed even colder.
In a room, Lin Shiyuan was currently shirtless, a vast bloodstain visible across his upper chest.
His eyes were closed as he applied Third Rank dicine powder for external injuries.
He also swallowed healing pills, and the wound emitted a spirit light as it slowly healed.
But the intense pain was real and present, making his body tremble slightly.
The door soon opened, and Lin Shiming walked in. Seeing Lin Shiyuan in such a state, he felt a complex mix of emotions.
"Seventh brother..." Lin Shiyuan lowered his head. Shiming had always been very good to him and often taught him, repeatedly advising him to be cautious. Yet, in pursuit of strength, he had been impulsive many tis.
Now, he was seriously injured and had used a Boundary-breaking Talisman.
But the anticipated reprimand did not co.
Instead, in Shiming's generous palm, there was a Boundary-breaking Talisman and a Fourth Rank Healing Pill, extended in front of him.
He was sowhat stunned and did not imdiately take them.
He just heard Shiming sigh and said,
"Shiyuan, a cultivator's revenge is never sothing that can be achieved in a day or two; your enemies are not mortals with lifespans of a re hundred and twenty years, but those who live for thousands of years!"
"You have plenty of ti, but if you can't even reach Golden Core, let alone Purple Mansion, your revenge is nothing but a joke!"
Shiming's words were extrely calm, but the calr he spoke, the more seriously Shiyuan took them.
He knew that Shiming was already suppressing his feelings. Other cultivators would have already imposed a family punishnt.
He was different because his father once stayed behind at Fangmu Mountain for Shiming's sake.
"Shiyuan, I hope you understand that in the Cultivation World, fate is not solely dictated by one's Spirit Root. There are Golden Core True Persons with Quadruple and Quintuple Spirit Roots, and there are also those with Heavenly Spirit Roots who perish at Foundation Establishnt. The Taoist heart is important, and so is taking steady steps!"
"Your current goal is to beco a Golden Core Cultivator as securely as possible!"
"Before that, how to build a strong foundation is your most important goal!" Shiming spoke again.
Finally, Shiyuan nodded his head.
"Seeing how things have turned out, the clan punishnt must still be carried out. You are to guard Jiuyue Island for ten years and are not to leave the island!"
Shiyuan nodded. His path had always been smooth sailing, but having recently faced a life-and-death crisis, he knew that if it weren't for Shiming's Boundary-breaking Talisman, he would have disappeared in that vast ocean.
Apart from seaweed, no one would rember his deeds, and his enemies would continue to roam free in the Eastern Domain.
Although the clan punishnt was severe, as long as he was on Jiuyue Island, he believed there would be a ti for him to fight.
"Additionally, I hope that in ten years, you can reach the Foundation Establishnt Middle Stage. By then, I will return to the Eastern Domain. Although I cannot settle the score with the Heavenly Demon Sect, I will personally deal with so of their subordinate forces and those who have set foot into Fangmu Mountain," Shiming said as he walked out. Halfway through, he looked back.
And finally, Shiyuan raised his head, his eyes turning red with emotion, another firm nod of his head as he clenched his fists tightly.
The Eastern Domain had always been the most important region in his heart.
And once again, the wound on his chest began to throb, causing him to grunt in pain quietly, yet he never shouted out loud.
Just like that ti, in the ancestral temple, when he wore sackcloth and perford filial piety, holding back his grief for three days without crying aloud.
Shiming and Lin Shijie moved to the adjacent hall.
Having checked on Shiyuan's injuries, it was naturally ti to plan for the Water Spirit Shell group.
The Lin Family owned nearly a thousand Water Spirit Shells, which elevated the reputation of the Lin Family Restaurant so significantly that it beca extrely renowned, even among Xu Ri Island's twelve outer islands.
If they could acquire this larger group of Water Spirit Shells, the cultivators of the Lin Family could improve their own strength more rapidly, and the Lin Family Restaurant could expand its territory, at least covering Jiuyue Island.
This ti, there were even Fourth Rank Water Spirit Shells. If they obtained Fourth Rank Water Spirit Pearls, the cultivation speed of the Lin Family's Purple Mansion cultivators could increase once again.
"Shiming, it has been so long since the Water Spirit Shells were spotted, they have probably escaped already!" Lin Shijie couldn't help but express his concern, also handing over a Jade Slip.
Inside the Jade Slip was the route provided by Shiyuan, already extrely distant, and carrying the risk of encountering a Demon King.
Hearing this, Shiming also couldn't help worrying; it had been at least two days since the Water Spirit Shells were discovered.
Naturally, having encountered cultivators, the Water Spirit Shells wouldn't stay in one place any longer.
However, just at that mont, the system notification sounded again.
[Please head ten thousand miles northwest, where you will find a large group of Water Spirit Shells. Beware of the water-escape techniques of several Fourth Rank Water Spirit Shells!]
Shiming couldn't help but feel overjoyed. According to the ssage, there were not only one, but multiple Fourth Rank Water Spirit Shells; even he could boost his cultivation with the help of Water Spirit Pearls.
That would accelerate his advancent to the Purple Mansion Late Stage, requiring only that he purchase so Spirit Pills on Tianliu Island.
Thinking of this, Shiming too felt a surge of excitent.
"Elder brother, you guard Jiuyue Island for now. Take this Fourth Rank Middle Stage Spirit Puppet to assist you!" Shiming handed the Storage Bag containing the Spirit Puppet to Lin Shijie.
Jiuyue Island was also very important at the mont, and not only the Demonic Beasts were a threat, but also the Purple Mansion cultivators who might fancy their chances, especially since there was a Fourth Rank Supre Grade Formation and a small Interdiate Grade Spirit Stone Mine.
Cultivators often took risks for resources.
Shiming had to be cautious.
Especially the Loose Cultivators; many were honorable, but many were not.
Shijie was a Sword Cultivator himself and had even commanded a Third Rank Great Demon with the Spirit Controlling Seal, combined with a Fourth Rank Middle Stage Spirit Puppet, along with the Formation, making it virtually foolproof.
For this reason, Shiming took out the Myriad Thousand Jade he had obtained from the Purple Sun Secret Realm earlier and gave one piece to Shijie, instructing him to contact him if anything arose.
