Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

"Nurture this Spirit Insect well, it might be of great help to you in the future!" Lin Xianzhi continued, offering his advice.

Having said that, his brows furrowed again, and he spoke cautiously.

"Don't tell anyone about this. Pretend as if the Lingxi Insect doesn't exist. That way, we can turn their calculations against them!"

"Of course, Seventh Great-Uncle!" Lin Shiming nodded in agreement, knowing that with the Lingxi Insect on the Inner Armor, he would have a way to deal with it. He could simply release it from the Storage Bag when necessary.

However, he wondered if it would die once placed in the Storage Bag, since living creatures could not be stored within it.

But since Seventh Great-Uncle had instructed him, Lin Shiming naturally wouldn't do such a thing.

Upon leaving Seventh Great-Uncle's room, Lin Shiming happened to meet Lin Shijie, who was on his way out.

"Big Brother!"

"Oh, Little Seven!" Lin Shijie also greeted Lin Shiming before continuing with a smile, "Little Seven, Qingxuan City is so prosperous and filled with treasures. How about we go for a stroll together?"

"With an invitation from Big Brother, how could Shiming refuse?" Facing Lin Shijie's invitation, Lin Shiming accepted without a second thought.

With the Lingxi Insect now by his side, he found it hard to settle down and cultivate. Going out for a stroll seemed much more appealing.

Besides, after coming out from Qingyun Mountain, he indeed had considerable wealth. In these dangerous times, converting Spirit Stones into useful treasures was the most appropriate action.

In Qingxuan City, with the oversight of the Purple Mansion Hermits, there was no fear of someone killing and plundering within the city.

What made Lin Shiming somewhat helpless was that Lin Shijie actually dragged him to look at some Spirit Beast Eggs, asking for his advice.

This was of course influenced by the extraordinary performance of the Golden Winged Mantis, which no doubt made Lin Shijie envious. Otherwise, his Big Brother had always believed in the philosophy that one sword could break all spells.

As for giving advice to his Big Brother, he was willing, but the prompts from his system were not under his control.

So, he could only smile wryly in agreement.

The two of them arrived at the street market within Qingxuan City, much like before when Lin Shiming visited; however, the vendors were now uniformly Qi Cultivators at the later stages. You could find a Qi Cultivator at the intermediate stages only among tens of others.

And those strolling around here were primarily offspring of the cultivator families.

However, after walking around, they only found ordinary Demonic Beasts, and the more formidable ones had exorbitant prices. In the end, Lin Shijie spent twelve hundred Spirit Stones to purchase a superior grade Second Rank eagle-type Spirit Beast Egg from a specialized vendor selling such eggs.

It was slightly inferior to the Golden Luan Eagle, but the price for this Demonic Beast could be considered reasonable. Lin Shiming nodded his approval. With two Spirit Roots and primarily focused on his own cultivation, his Big Brother was far wealthier than he.

Moreover, it would give him a reason to ask the Second Elder, Lin Yuqi, to refine more Beast Nurturing Pills later on.

After buying the Spirit Beast Egg, the two took another turn around the market zone but did not find anything significant; they merely purchased a few superior grade Spirit Talismans.

The brothers finally stopped in front of a shop called Duobao Tower.

"Little Seven, shall we see what the shop has to offer?"

"Mm-hmm!" Lin Shiming nodded, and the two walked in together.

Duobao Tower had three floors. The first floor catered to Qi Cultivators, the second to Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and the third to Purple Mansion Cultivators.

Of course, if you have enough Spirit Stones, you can show them off, and the shop will let you cross the Cultivation Level to enter the second floor.

Lin Shiming and Lin Shijie naturally stayed on the first floor.

The treasures in Duobao Tower were indeed as numerous as its name suggests, a dazzling array of wonders.

Just the counters on the first floor were divided into elixir counters, Spirit Talisman counters, heavenly materials and earthly treasures counters, Cultivation Technique counters, and Magic Artifact counters.

Lin Shiming went to the heavenly materials and earthly treasures counter. The ordinary vine seeds from before weren't very useful to him now, and although the Snake Vine Flower seeds were good, there were only ten in total, which could not be reproduced to increase their numbers.

This was still the case each time after catalyzing them; they turned back into seeds like a Spiritual Artifact and could be used multiple times.

Now that he had the Heavenly Wood Spirit Cultivation Secret Technique, if he fully catalyzed the heart of the heavenly wood, he would have more than enough capacity even after catalyzing the ten Snake Vine Flower seeds. Adding some Spirit Vine seeds would also enhance his combat power.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you need?" Surprisingly, the cultivator at this counter was a female.

This female cultivator's voice was exceedingly sweet and pleasant, and she was as beautiful as a lotus flower rising out of the water, her words and demeanor extremely elegant, clearly employed by the shop to stimulate cultivators' spending.

"Do you have any catalyzable vine-type Spirit Seeds here?"

"Of course we do!" The female cultivator spoke, then took three Jade Boxes from the counter behind her.

Aside from the different number of Spirit Patterns, the surfaces of the Jade Boxes were nearly identical.

The female cultivator opened the Jade Boxes one by one to reveal the seeds inside.

"These are Second Rank Inferior Grade Green Snake Vine seeds, three hundred Spirit Stones for twenty seeds. The seeds can be planted normally and reproduced to increase in number, and the cycle isn't long! Moreover, even against Qi Cultivators at the latter stages, they can cause a certain degree of trouble. This item is particularly favored by many wood-attribute cultivators!"

"These are Second Rank Inferior Grade Purple Xuan Vine seeds, four hundred Spirit Stones for twenty seeds. The seeds can also be reproduced to increase in number.

When used against an enemy, in addition to the vines themselves, they can release a purple mist that causes a Qi Cultivator's Spiritual Energy to flow sluggishly if inhaled during chi cultivation at the intermediate stages, a real weapon in chaotic battles!"

Hearing the introductions of these two, Lin Shiming wasn't very satisfied. Dealing with intermediate-stage Qi Cultivators was quite inconsequential to him, and he intended to use the vine tactics against stronger cultivator enemies.

Otherwise, for an ordinary intermediate-stage Qi Cultivator, he could take care of them with just one Snake Vine Flower seed, without going through so much trouble.

"Fellow Daoist, since you are not satisfied with these, you might as well take a look at our shop's best vine Spirit Seed, the Second Rank Superior Grade Ironwood Thorn seeds!" The female cultivator said, pointing to the last Jade Box.

The last Jade Box contained only ten seeds, the same amount as Lin Shiming's Snake Vine Flower seeds.

"Do not underestimate these Ironwood Thorn seeds, fellow Daoist. They can release thorns that can pierce through intermediate-grade Spirit Talismans, and if released in large number, they can even pierce through superior-grade Spirit Talismans!" The female cultivator explained with visible excitement.

"If it wasn't for the fact that Spirit Plants do not have a Supreme Grade, these Ironwood Thorns could have easily qualified for the title of 'Supreme'!"

Lin Shiming finally showed interest upon hearing about the Ironwood Thorns.

The Second Rank Superior Grade Ironwood Thorns weren't inferior to his Snake Vine Flowers, and where the former was about entrapment and poison, the Ironwood Thorns were more about piercing attacks. Moreover, if a cultivator was unaware and first restrained, a sudden round of Ironwood Thorn piercings could yield unexpected gains.

"Then how much for these Spirit Seeds?" Lin Shiming asked, quite satisfied with the Spirit Seeds.

"Two thousand Spirit Stones for ten seeds, and they can also be naturally catalyzed and reproduced! If the fellow Daoist ends up catalyzing thousands of these Spirit Seeds, you could indeed claim the title of being invincible among Qi Cultivators!"

"But these seeds are not so easy to catalyze during combat, and their speed is not particularly fast either!" Lin Shiming pinched a seed and frowned as he spoke.

"A discerning customer like you must know, if these Spirit Seeds didn't have this small flaw, their price would naturally be extraordinary," the female cultivator continued, replying with a polite smile.

"Alright!" Lin Shiming finally took out the Spirit Stones and purchased them.
