This might lead to the premature deaths of Lin Family Cultivators, but it is also the inevitable choice to improve the strength of Lin Family Cultivators.
Otherwise, there would be many cultivators like Lin Shijin who have practiced very little, and the Lin Family would suffer sooner or later.
The sensation caused by the Sword Pavilion also attracted more and more Lin Family Cultivators to its entrance. Lin Shiming also saw Lin Zeli, whose Sword Intent had beco even fiercer now.
Standing there, he was much stronger than his peer Lin Shijie.
After all, Lin Zeli realized Sword Intent during Qi Cultivation and used a sword to achieve Foundation Establishnt. Speaking of which, his talent in the Sword Dao was even stronger than his own.
His talent relied on system guidance and the deducing of the Minor Divine Ability of the Spirit Root.
Of course, what's more important is that Lin Zeli also has a Dual Spirit Root of gold and water.
"Seventh Great-Uncle!" Lin Zeli greeted Lin Shiming, who nodded in return and also praised the latter.
Lin Shiming waited until Zeyi and Zehai's Sword Intent had stabilized considerably before leaving.
The Sword Pavilion was temporarily closed as well.
At the sa ti the Sword Pavilion was closed, Lin Shiming suddenly discovered that his system guidance was alerting him again.
[Please pay attention to selecting more cultivators with exceptional talent in swordsmanship for focused training; you will find more sword cultivators for the Lin Family!]
Lin Shiming was sowhat startled and looked around.
Although he was aware many cultivators might have gained sothing from the beast tide, the system alert ant that more Lin Family Cultivators had the potential to realize Sword Intent than he had anticipated.
But if these two were closing the Sword Pavilion while realizing Sword Intent, those cultivators would not be able to continue their enlightennt and might forget much of what they had co to understand.
Lin Shiming suddenly stepped forward, releasing his own Sword Intent, which enveloped the area occupied by his family clan mbers.
At first, his Sword Intent was extrely gentle.
Nevertheless, a host of cultivators felt as though they had approached within fifty steps of the Sword Ladder.
So cultivators began to redden, while others looked excited, standing even more firmly.
Iron Forest Swords from the Lin Family appeared in their hands.
Lin Shiming's serious words also resounded in the square:
"Sit down if you can't bear it!"
This release of Sword Intent was just about controlling its power for Lin Shiming, but for many of his family clan it was a helping hand at the doorway.
As Lin Shiming's words fell, many cultivators who couldn't bear it sat down, including the guardian elder Lin Houyong.
Now, ten people still stood tall, and of course, Lin Zeli stood the straightest.
Her face was full of confidence, and her clear eyes brimd with intense Sword Intent.
This was the first ti she saw Lin Shiming giving pointers to everyone, so she definitely wouldn't disappoint him.
Lin Shiming's Sword Intent continued to be maintained, and he controlled it, slowly executing the three forms of the Grass Heaven Slasher.
For the Lin Family Clan mbers watching, they felt the scenes previously prompted by the system.
It was a lot more terrifying and vivid for Lin Shiming back then.
But for them at this mont, it was equally thrilling.
Even Lin Zeli was releasing her significant Sword Intent, rising to et the sword.
As ti passed, fewer and fewer cultivators remained.
After half an hour, only five people were still standing firm—three from the Zhe generation and two from the Yan generation.
Both Yan generation mbers were Qi Cultivators, yet they stood firm under such sword pressure, making Lin Shiming look forward to their future understanding on the Sword Ladder, perhaps realizing Sword Intent during Qi Cultivation just like Lin Zeli.
An hour passed, and in the end, only two people were left, one was Lin Zeli, which Shiming expected, but a young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes still standing was a surprise to Shiming.
Under such sword pressure, there are only two possibilities: one is that it coincidentally suits a Wood Attribute Sword Intent, which matches well with Shiming's Grass Sword Intent.
The other possibility is that his talent in the Sword Dao might even be more fearso than Lin Zeli's.
Shiming now also realized his previous negligence regarding the Sword Pavilion.
Currently, the Lin Family's use of the Sword Pavilion is based on Contribution Points and Cultivation Levels.
```
But this seems sowhat unreasonable, so parents are able to help, so naturally they get more Contribution Points, and those with high Cultivation Levels get more as well.
However, the utilization of the Carved Sword Stones in the Sword Pavilion has not been maximized to the greatest extent.
After all, those with lower Cultivation Levels, of humble origins, who beca Lin Family Cultivators through the Ascension Conference, actually have a stronger traceability!
They may not have particularly good Spirit Roots, but talent in the Sword Dao doesn't necessarily have a direct correlation with Spirit Roots.
Finally, an hour later, that Qi Cultivator of the Yan generation fell on the spot, his body already bloody from the pressure of the Sword Intent and montum.
It was as if nurous Grass Swords had branded his body, Lin Shiming directly controlled the Qi Cultivator to co before him, allowing Lin Shitao to apply dicinal powder to the latter, treating the wounds.
He continued to watch Lin Zeli, intensifying the Sword Intent.
Lin Zeli had Sword Intent, and he gradually released more than ten percent of his Sword Intent; this ti, Lin Zeli's body also began to oscillate.
In the end, Lin Zeli also managed to hold on for an hour and a half, while Lin Shiming's release of Sword Intent reached a full twenty percent.
"Seventh Great-Uncle, Zeli has disappointed you!" Lin Zeli lowered his head, sowhat annoyed, obviously worried about not having lasted two hours.
"You've done very well. As the first place this ti, I'll give you a sword. I hope you don't let it down!" Lin Shiming said with a smile as he took out a purple Spirit Sword.
It was the Supre Grade Magic Artifact, Zilai Sword, that Lin Shiming had been rewarded with at Qingxuan Sect.
"Thank you, Seventh Great-Uncle!" Lin Zeli was also extrely delighted.
Lin Shiming then turned around, his hand waving a Spirit Art, a huge Fourth Rank treasure material, Starfall Stone, fell in front of the Sword Pavilion.
With a flick of his sword finger, the Heaven-Slaying Sword was executed, leaving a sword mark on the Starfall Stone.
"Great-Uncle, from now on, the rules of the Lin Family Sword Pavilion will change. The Contribution Points for ordinary Cultivators to enter the Sword Pavilion are doubled; at the sa ti, those who can withstand one quarter of an hour in front of this Starfall Stone will have their original Contribution Points restored, those who withstand half an hour will not need Contribution Points and will not need to queue, and those who withstand an hour can use the Sword Pavilion as they please!"
As Lin Shiming spoke, Lin Houyong's expression brightened as well.
They had previously observed the shortcomings of the Sword Pavilion, but only Lin Shiming and Lin Xianzhi could see through one's talent in the Sword Dao, and they had no ti, so they kept the original rules.
But now, with Lin Shiming's strike upon the Starfall Stone, the Sword Intent within was enough to prove the swordsmanship talents of the Cultivators.
It could distinguish the gap between geniuses and the diocre.
"The trial just now will count. Lin Zeli, Lin Yanxing can use the Sword Pavilion unlimited tis, Lin Yanhuo, Lin Zexiu, Lin Zeli can enter the Sword Pavilion without Contribution Points..."
Lin Shiming spoke slowly, and these words made Lin Yanxing beside him, who was sowhat weak, suddenly brighten up.
But then he spoke again:
"I ask Seventh Great-Uncle to take back the reward. Yanxing is just an ordinary Dual Spirit Root, with a Cultivation Level of only the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation!"
"Do you think your Seventh Great-Uncle's words can be reneged on?" Lin Shiming also turned around, interestedly looking at Lin Yanxing.
"Furthermore, you can enjoy triple the salary from the Lin Family. If anyone obstructs you, co to at any ti!"
Lin Yanxing quickly shook his head, his head moving like a rattle.
"What does it matter if you're a Dual Spirit Root. There are Golden Core Cultivators with a Quintuple Spirit Root. What harm is there if a Dual Spirit Root produces a peerless Sword Cultivator?" Lin Shiming said sternly.
Lin Shiming's words made Lin Yanxing's eyes shine brightly.
Nobody knew, every ti he ca to the Sword Pavilion, it would cost him a year's worth of expenses.
Every ti he would take on the most dangerous tasks for the Lin Family. As a Dual Spirit Root, he could only get triple the usual salary by overcoming those above his level.
And most of that triple salary would be spent on entering the Sword Pavilion.
Every ti he thought of entering the Sword Pavilion, he would fear nothing!
His love and obsession for the sword surpassed that of anyone else, it's just that he was a Dual Spirit Root, and he didn't have immortal parents. The kindest to him were a few elders from the Lin Family Preaching Tower.
But aside from his outstanding talent in the Sword Dao, he wasn't good at Spells, Artifact Refining, or Alchemy; such a person was destined to be undistinguished in the Lin Family.
And Lin Shiming's remarks were an affirmation of everything he had believed in.
It was at that mont, he felt, that his path as a Sword Cultivator could be achieved.
"Seventh Great-Uncle, I will surpass you!" Lin Yanxing staggered to his feet, his determination extraordinary.
Lin Shiming was stunned by this scene and then smiled, saying
"You, young man!" then his tone changed:
"I'm waiting!"
