Chapter 269: Soul Protection Jade, Blazing Heat (Combined)
Apart from the Taiqing Purple Jade Fruit, Lin Shiming also couldn't find numerous rare Spirit Fruits and spiritual materials in their Storage Bags.
Among them were Fourth Rank treasures, including a kind of Five-colored clay, which could be used with the Fourth Rank Geng Metal he had harvested to forge a Flying Sword magic artifact.
Such a magic artifact not only possesses tremendous power but also has great malleability. Nurtured for several decades, or even a hundred years, it definitely has a chance to become a Superior Grade among magic artifacts.
Lin Shiming couldn't help but feel how wealthy the two were, given the abundance of such spiritual materials.
Even the other auxiliary Spiritual Medicines for the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid were plentiful.
Clearly, both Xiao Chen and Wan Qing were prepared to refine the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid once they obtained the Purple Jade Fruits.
In this way, as long as Lin Shitao could advance her Alchemy skills, the Lin Family would be able to start alchemy refining.
And they would have several chances for error.
If the refining goes well, multiple portions of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid could be possible!
Additionally, with the recent acquisition of the Fourth Rank Alchemy legacy, the Lin Family might be able to produce a Fourth Rank Alchemist sooner rather than later!
Thinking of this, Lin Shiming's mood vastly improved; a family's great combat power doesn't mean it has profound depth.
Only when all four arts of Cultivation are equally developed can a true long-lasting legacy be established.
Apart from heavenly and earthly treasures, the two also had a sizable amount of Spirit Stones; who knows how many Cultivators they had robbed along the way.
These two were definitely tough characters, who had robbed many others in the small world without restraint.
There were also an abundance of magic artifacts and Jade Slips, but there weren't many that caught the eyes of Lin Shiming and Lin Xianzhi; the Peach Blossom River Scenic Map was a fine Third Rank Supreme Grade treasure.
Aside from that, the Heavy Sword of Wan Qing was another precious Third Rank Supreme Grade magic artifact, and it was extremely heavy.
Cultivators from the Wanjian Sect primarily practiced with Heavy Swords, emphasizing unity between the swordsman and sword, so they carried Heavy Swords daily, exercising the physical body and enhancing comprehension of the Sword Dao all at once.
However, this Heavy Sword was of little benefit to Lin Shiming.
Not to mention, as this type of sword was a standard issue magic artifact of the Wanjian Sect, using it would undoubtedly draw their attention.
Moreover, since the Lin Family had the Mountain Ape Body Refining Technique, they didn't need to concern themselves with such minor benefits.
Among the remaining magic artifacts, a Jade Pendant caught his attention; this was the Jade Ring from Wan Qing's neck.
This clearly was a rare Divine Sense defense magic artifact. Although he cultivated the Split Spirit Decision, and his Divine Sense was much stronger than that of ordinary Cultivators, he was still greatly affected by items like the Split Soul Banner that attacked the Divine Soul.
With this Soul Protection Jade, Lin Shiming felt even more confident.
The Soul Protection Jade was exceedingly smooth and elegant; touching it, a slight cool sensation, it unexpectedly had a similar effect to the mat he had previously acquired in the Purple Mansion Cave Mansion.
This made him somewhat surprised at the extraordinariness of the Soul Protection Jade.
Of course, aside from these three magic artifacts, the rest seemed sparsely ordinary. Even though there were other Third Rank Supreme Grade magic artifacts, Lin Xianzhi and Lin Shiming were not in short supply of attack magic artifacts, so they could only be stored in the Storage Bag for now, to be placed into the Treasure Pavilion of the family later.
Besides magic artifacts, there were also some Cultivation Techniques within the Jade Slips, but disappointingly, there were no Cultivation secrets from the Wanjian Sect, mostly ordinary techniques and some little-known Secret Techniques, of which Xiao Chen's were particularly numerous.
Considering the situation, it seemed like Xiao Chen also had plans to establish his own family after breaking through to the Purple Mansion stage.
Lin Shiming gathered all the Cultivation Technique Jade Slips and, having finished searching through their Storage Bags, finally had the time to look towards the Myriad Swords Tomb.
In the distance, sword shadows washed through the heavens and earth, as if each sword had attained immortality, extremely majestic.
Even from countless miles away, Lin Shiming could still feel the magic of these swords.
Moreover, whenever he looked towards them, the Second Spirit Platform within his body would start to glow brightly and become unbearably hot.
Clearly, having cultivated the Sword Imbuement Technique, they were now somewhat different from other Cultivators!
This made him laugh; while a group of Cultivators thought of seizing treasures, they didn't realize that what they thought of as treasures were about to seize them!
Thinking of this, Lin Shiming's impression of the Zi Xuan Hermit diminished greatly; no wonder the system had warned that without Purple Mansion Divine Sense, one couldn't withstand even the ordinary Soul Summoning Swords.
The Swords before him now, as if they had ascended to immortality, even a Golden Core Cultivator might not be able to subdue them!
"Shiming, do you also feel that call and scorching heat?" Lin Xianzhi sat at the very front of the Spirit Boat, turned around, and glanced at Lin Shiming.
"Seventh Great Uncle, I indeed feel that, but more than that, it's a constant unease!" Lin Shiming paused for a while before he suddenly spoke up.
Lin Xianzhi didn't immediately respond; instead, he sighed deeply as the Astral Winds lifted the hair at his temples.
"Your feeling is probably right; the Heavenly Sword Peak of the Qingxuan Sect is known for its Ruthless Sword!" After a long while, Lin Xianzhi finally said.
Sometimes, people always hold some expectations.
After speaking, both of them gazed at the horizon for a long time, in silence.
Overall, the actions of the Purple Mansion Loose were more than favorable to their Lin Family.
While it's true that one could spend a fortune trying to buy the loyalty of a horse, when it comes to facing death, who can truly remain composed?
Especially for Lin Xianzhi, now possessing the Zi Xuan Precious Jade and millennium spirit marrow, with the opportunity of the Purple Mansion right before him, how could he willingly accept this?
A lifespan of five hundred years means he could protect the Lin Family for a full 250 years!
But he understood that when the critical moment came, he couldn't retreat no matter what, even if the Purple Mansion was right before his eyes.
Because behind him stood a junior who might lead the Lin Family to the Golden Core realm!
And because that person called him Seventh Great Uncle!

Seeing Lin Xianzhi staring ahead, somewhat stunned, Lin Shiming took out the Peach Blossom River Scenic Map the next moment, waved it through the air, and the Spirit Boat promptly entered the Illusionary Realm.
