Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

Inside the bear cave, Lin Shiming stood up and brushed the dust off his body.

He took out some Spirit Water and Spirit Food from his Storage Bag and shared them with the Golden Winged Mantis and the Red-haired Demon Monkey, and the two Spirit Beasts immediately huddled to the side and began to eat and drink heartily.

Lin Shiming then looked towards the outside of the cave, where the battle had clearly drawn to a close.

The group couldn't help but send out their Divine Sense to probe the outside and found that Seventh Uncle Lin Xianzhi was picking up Storage Bags from several Foundation Establishment Cultivators, while Fifth Uncle Lin Houyong was also returning happily with a Storage Bag in hand.

The trio instantly sighed in relief. Although they had their suspicions, Huang Kaiyu was still a Cultivator at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, and accidents could happen.

In the Cultivation World, it was not uncommon for mishaps to occur.

In this conflict, the Huang Family had lost thirty-four Qi Cultivation later-stage Cultivators, twelve at the Ninth Level of Qi Cultivation, and two at the Foundation Establishment stage!

After this battle, not only would the Huang Family have difficulty seeking trouble with the Lin Family, but they would also have to be cautious of other families.

Without power and wealth to match their standing, in the eyes of other Foundation Establishment families, they were nothing but delectable morsels.

Lin Xianzhi and Lin Houyong, one after the other, headed toward the bear cave, with the body of the Earth Rampage Bear being collected by Lin Xianzhi.

The body of a Third Rank Intermediate Grade Demonic Beast was a treasure trove in and of itself, especially the pair of bear paws which, when used to make a pair of gauntlets, would be of the best effect.

If handled by a competent Artifact Refiner, they could certainly craft a Third Rank Intermediate Grade Magic Artifact which would make those Foundation Establishment Body Cultivators flock to it in frenzy.

"Seventh Uncle, Fifth Uncle!" Lin Shiming and the others called out almost simultaneously.

"Well done!" Lin Xianzhi gave the trio a morale boost before taking the lead into the depths of the cave dwelling.

They did not take the Storage Bag of the Qi Cultivation Ninth Level Cultivator in the yellow robe, seemingly granting tacit approval for the trio to keep it.

Lin Shiming and the others quickly followed. Although they had arrived early, they were preoccupied with fighting the yellow-robed Cultivator and had no time to check the contents of the bear cave, so they too were curious.

Reaching the deepest part of the bear cave, the space opened up considerably, revealing a five or six-meter-wide hollow suitable for the Earth Rampage Bear to sprawl out for sleep. Next to the hollow was a pile of overturned fertile soil.

The rich Spiritual Energy diffused into the air, clearly the result of several Spirit Grasses being plucked; the Spirit Grass should be inside the yellow-robed Cultivator's Storage Bag without surprise.

To Lin Shiming's disappointment, there was no Spirit Pool.

However, the Third Rank Inferior Grade Spirit Vein was indeed here.

The thick Spiritual Energy was even more concentrated than that of the Second Rank Superior Grade Spirit Vein discovered in Peach Blossom Valley.

"Excellent! With this Third Rank Inferior Grade Spirit Vein, our family's Spirit Vein can be upgraded to a Third Rank Superior Grade Spirit Vein!" Lin Xianzhi exclaimed upon assessing the concentration of Spiritual Energy, his face full of smiles.

This time, their goal was achieved, and the results exceeded all expectations, annihilating all the Huang Family Cultivators and seizing the Third Rank Inferior Grade Spirit Vein.

Lin Xianzhi then walked over to the disturbed soil where the Spirit Grass had been plucked and took out a Jade Box, beginning to collect the soil.

Seeing the confusion of others, Lin Xianzhi patiently explained.

"Spirit Veins also have attributes. If there's more of the Water Attribute in a Spirit Vein, it will emit rich Water Attribute Spiritual Energy, and it's likely to produce Spirit Water in a Spirit Pool. Here, the Earth Attribute Spiritual Energy is more abundant, naturally resulting in Spirit Soil!"

It seemed as if to validate his thoughts, Lin Xianzhi grabbed a handful of Spirit Soil and handed it to Lin Shiming, speaking slowly.

"You have Wood Vine seeds, try putting the Wood Vine seeds into it and see!"

Lin Shiming nodded, took the Spirit Soil, and retrieved some Wood Vine seeds from his Storage Bag to place inside it.

A miraculous scene began to unfold as Lin Shiming didn't even use his Wood Vine Technique to infuse and stimulate growth.

But they saw the gentle green buds starting to appear, clearly teeming with life to an unfathomable degree.

"This is Third Rank Spirit Soil, which aids Spirit Plants of the same rank, especially suitable for transplanting precious Spirit Plants!" Lin Xianzhi explained once again.

Lin Shiming and the others were also a mix of surprise and delight, not expecting this dark soil to possess such miraculous effects.

Lin Xianzhi apportioned three jin of Spirit Soil to each person from the Shiming generation down to Lin Houyong, and carefully stored the majority of the remainder.

"Houyong, go outside and set up a Defensive Array, then take some time to recover!" Lin Xianzhi instructed Lin Houyong, who replied with an affirming sound and strode away.

Lin Xianzhi also began to find a spot to simply recover his Spiritual Energy, for the battle at the Foundation Establishment Stage drained far more energy than imagined.

Moreover, near the Spirit Vein, the recovery speed was much faster than usual.

As for Lin Shiming and the other two, they respectfully left the deepest area and found a relatively flat place to start dividing the contents of the Storage Bag.

In the hands of Lin Shijie was the yellow-robed cultivator's Storage Bag.

The loot from the yellow-robed cultivator from the Huang Family, slain by the three of them, was by default theirs.

For the Storage Bag of a cultivator who managed to escape under their seventh granduncle's sword and seemed to have stolen the treasures from the bear cave, the three were quite expectant.

"Younger Seventh, Younger Fourth, the usual rules—split equally among the three of us. Younger Seventh, you made the largest contribution so you choose first. Younger Fourth, your Iron Corpse sustained damage, so you pick second!" Lin Shijie said fairly, then under the gaze of the other two, began to take out the contents of the Storage Bag one by one.

Most of the yellow-robed cultivator's Spirit Talismans and Spirit Pills had been used up, leaving behind a pile of magic artifacts, an assortment of Spirit Grasses, and some Spirit Stones, along with two Jade Slips.

The first thing Lin Shijie checked was the two Jade Slips, which would surely be imprinted with a copy for each person before being handed over to the family in exchange for Contribution Points.

To their surprise, the first Jade Slip recorded the method to refine the flags for the Five Element Spirit Breaking Formation and the formation technique itself, the same one used by several Qi Cultivation later stage members of the Huang Family to launch a combined attack with the power equivalent to that of Foundation Establishment Spells.

This formation wasn't particularly practical for the three of them, but as a Supreme Grade Second Rank formation, it was worth at least four to five thousand Spirit Stones.

And it was the kind that was priceless and difficult to find on the market.

The second Jade Slip made them even happier as it turned out to be a Five Element Escape Talisman inheritance, detailing escape talismans for five different attributes, suitable for fleeing under various circumstances.

This sort of talisman inheritance was far more precious than many ordinary Spirit Talisman inheritances, for in certain scenarios, it could save a cultivator's life.

Like that yellow-robed cultivator, if he had not been so greedy, he surely could have escaped.

To hand over to the family, it was worth at least three or four thousand Spirit Stones in rewards.

The three were immediately beaming with joy; these two Jade Slips alone were worth seven to eight thousand Spirit Stones.

Next, when choosing magic artifacts, Lin Shiming took the best one, a Supreme Grade Second Rank magic sword, while Lin Shiming selected a Supreme Grade shield, which he named Thick Earth Shield.

Finally, his armaments were complete: with the recently acquired Green Sky Sword, the Thick Earth Shield for defense, and the Snake Vine Flower for control.

A strong sense of confidence spontaneously sprouted in Lin Shiming's heart, but he quickly suppressed it, reminding himself of how many formidable figures there were in the cultivation world.

Lin Shijie was the last to choose; he took three Intermediate Grade Second Rank magic swords and an unused Earth Escape Spirit Talisman.

Lin Shiming initially wanted to give up the Supreme Grade magic sword, but Lin Xianzhi refused, presenting his Fire-returning Fire Sword instead.

All in all, the three were quite satisfied. Besides the treasures, each person received five hundred Spirit Stones.

Having divided the spoils, they all couldn't help but marvel at the yellow-robed cultivator's wealth.

Last of all, Lin Shijie brought out the final few Jade Boxes, which contained the Spirit Herbs taken by the yellow-robed cultivator.
