Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

```

He took out a Third Rank Spirit Boat, hopped onto the bow, and sat alone at the head of the vessel.

Bracing against the cold, biting wind, behind him rested a Spirit Coffin inside a jade box, heading towards the Lin Family's Fangmu Mountain.

It was only after he had left the Qingzhou where the Qingxuan Sect was located that Lin Shiming finally let down his guard.

He didn't know if anyone was using their divine sense to observe him from behind, after all, he couldn't detect the divine sense of either Purple Mansion cultivators or Golden Core cultivators.

Unless he forced all the Tribulation Forging Divine Flowers within his Cave Heaven to mature, elevating his divine sense from the late Foundation Establishment stage to Foundation Establishment Perfection, perhaps then he might sense a trace.

...

On Fangmu Mountain, a continuous spring rain gently took care of the mountains.

The fine lines of rain rippled on the Mountain Protection Array of Fangmu Mountain.

But they caused no ripples and dissipated into the invisible.

The Spirit Peach Tree on the mountain, deprived of sunlight for an extended period, bore blossoms that appeared rather frail and small.

A girl in a green dress played an ancient zither with her delicate, graceful hands.

No one knew how long she had been playing, or for whom she played.

In the next moment, the strings forcefully gathered and one snapped suddenly.

The girl then arose abruptly.

Stood up with the corners of her eyes touched by the spring rain.

She had waited!

Standing up at the same time was Lin Houyuan at the peak of Fangmu Mountain.

Following him, other cultivators began to leave their cave dwellings one after another.

At that moment, in front of the Formation, a Spirit Boat could be seen quietly resting.

Before the crowd could begin to celebrate, only to see Lin Shiming spoke out loud:

"Unfilial descendants, escorting the venerable Seventh Uncle Ancestor home!"

A long howl echoed through the entirety of Fangmu Mountain.

The many cultivators were stunned, but seeing the jade box Spirit Coffin in Lin Shiming's hands, they were thrown into even greater turmoil.

Lin Xianzhi had fallen, a calamity that the Lin Family felt as if the sky had collapsed and one they found unbearable, given that Lin Xianzhi was the true Protector of the Lin Family and the highest in both cultivation level and seniority.

Lin Houyuan had been in the family ancestral hall all this time; he naturally knew about the two's Soul Slips. At this moment, he was somewhat bewildered.

But immediately upon receiving Lin Shiming's transmitted message, Lin Houyuan also quickly came to his senses.

The Formation of Fangmu Mountain was opened, and so too was the funeral bell of the Lin Family on Fangmu Mountain.

As the bell sounded, the entire mountain of the Lin Family was draped in white cloth in mourning.

Main members of the family, such as Lin Shiming and Lin Houyuan, along with other key elders, all held a vigil.

It was also demanded that all Lin Family cultivators in Nanling Mountain, as well as those in Qingyun Square and Xing County Square Market, return.

For the Lin Family, this day was undoubtedly unforgettable.

Even for the whole of Yunzhou, there was quite a stir; after all, aside from the Qian Family, the Lin Family was the strongest.

However, after the secret realm, once the news spreads, the Qian Family would presumably be as shaken as the Lin Family.

After all, the ancestor of the Qian Family had fallen at the hands of Lin Shiming.

On Fangmu Mountain, the Lin Family elders mourned for a full seven days.

...

By the Qinglian Pool, the family clan meeting was held once again, but this time, only the Foundation Establishment elders of the family attended.

Apart from Lin Shijie and Lin Houshou on Shuangmu Island, and Lin Houyong guarding Stone Ridge Cave.

All other Foundation Establishment Cultivators were present.

Lin Shiming stood in front of the pavilion, deploying numerous Concealment Formations and then fully activating the Mountain Protection Array of Fangmu Mountain.

A layer of white mist once again enshrouded Fangmu Mountain.

With everything prepared and everyone eagerly waiting to hear what Lin Shiming had to say, Lin Xianzhi's figure floated out from his dwelling.

At this moment, Lin Xianzhi had once again regained his youthful appearance, but his hair remained white.

Everyone was surprised, particularly Thirteenth Uncle Lin Houwei and Lin Shiyi.

Lin Houyuan, who was in charge of the Family Jade Book, naturally knew that Lin Xianzhi's Soul Slip had not dimmed.

As for Lin Shitao, Lin Shiming had previously given a message, requiring her assistance with some Cotton Yang Pills.

Lin Xianzhi needed to break through to the peak of Foundation Establishment, and next, to prepare for Purple Mansion!

"Gentlemen, our expedition to the Secret Realm was very smooth!" Lin Shiming began with a smile.

Everyone was also beaming with joy.

"But precisely because it was smooth, our Lin Family must keep a lower profile!" After the excitement, came caution.

"Our family possesses the recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Heavenly Spirit Fruit Tree. Our performance in this expedition to the Secret Realm has been outstanding, which is why the Seventh Great-Uncle had to fake his death!"

"Our Lin Family is not suited to become the leading family of Yunzhou, at least not for the next hundred years!"

"Thus, in the future, the Lin Family's direction of development will be Shuangmu Island in the Outer Sea. Those in Yunzhou, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators, will also only remain as four!"

Lin Shiming succinctly outlined the future direction of the family.

After the brief meeting, everyone was brimming with confidence.

In that moment, as they looked around at the Qinglian Pool, they felt as if it was teeming with vitality, as if countless Green Lotuses were nurturing within, just waiting for the day they could bloom in full.

And in that moment, Fangmu Mountain would be enveloped in the fragrance of the Qinglian Pool.

"Father, apart from these matters, I hope you can also purchase elixirs for breaking through to the later stages of Foundation Establishment!" Lin Shiming spoke up again.

Lin Houyuan nodded, instantly understanding Lin Shiming's intention.

The family, having lost an elder who was at the later stages of Foundation Establishment, naturally needed to give rise to new late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators!

Entering closed-door cultivation not only allowed the rejection of visits from other cultivators but also served as a means to fend off family crises!

Moreover, the family's finances had been excellent in recent years, so purchasing some elixirs naturally posed no problem.

In addition, Lin Shitao would also refine more Cotton Yang Pills.

Of course, what they didn't know was that Lin Shiming's breakthrough to the later stages of Foundation Establishment wasn't a sham, he was indeed ready to make the breakthrough.

"Father, here are two Foundation Establishment Pills!" Having said that, Lin Shiming then took out a Storage Bag and handed it over to Lin Houyuan.

Of course, the Storage Bag contained more than just Foundation Establishment Pills.

It also held two Superior Grade Spirit Stones, as well as a third-rank, intermediate-grade Magic Sword and a third-rank, intermediate-grade Spirit Armor, along with a Shocking God Drum.

All were fine examples of magic artifacts, and he had specifically chosen them.

Among them, the Shocking God Drum was what Lin Shiming had found most handy before, but having reached the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, he no longer needed it as he was equipped with Supreme Grade magic artifacts. Continue your journey on My Virtual Library Empire

Lin Houyuan, seeing these items, gladly accepted them, a look of joy on his face.

For this son who had returned with a bounty, he had no need to stand on ceremony. In his view, these magic artifacts were something Lin Shiming could no longer use.

The Superior Grade Spirit Stones did give him some hesitance, but under Lin Shiming's encouraging nod, he still accepted them.

"Shitao, this is a gift for you!"

Lin Shiming then handed another Storage Bag to Lin Shitao.

Lin Shitao joyfully accepted the Storage Bag, her face flushed with excitement.

This caused the others to chuckle lightly.

However, in the next moment, Lin Shitao's mouth fell open in shock, because inside the Storage Bag there were not only two Superior Grade Spirit Stones but also a third-rank, Supreme Grade Pill Furnace—the Five-colored Dual-Handled Alchemy Furnace; a third-rank, superior-grade Five-colored Silk Magic Artifact; along with third-rank, intermediate-grade offensive and defensive magic artifacts, and finally, a Jade Slip.

It contained the Scripture of the Five Flames.

This was a cultivation technique that could be cultivated until the Golden Core Late Stage, and was also of the Profound Rank's Superior Grade, most suitable for someone with a Dual Spirit Root of fire and wood!

After she finished inspecting the Cultivation Technique Jade Slip, another Jade Slip she found was the alchemical inheritance of a Fourth Rank Purple Mansion!

It included alchemy recipes, some of which were even fourth-rank!

Lin Shitao was gaping, too shocked to calm down for a long time.

The treasures here, any single one if taken out, would cause a sensation, and in the past, any few of these would have been the Lin Family's treasures of heritage.

But now, they all appeared before her. To think that previously, the Lin Family's best Pill Furnace was just a third-rank Inferior Grade one, obtained by Lin Shiming, and the alchemy recipes only consisted of three third-rank ones: the Cotton Yang Pill, the Returning Spirit Pill, and the Foundation Establishment Pill!

Now, the alchemy recipes included more than just three fourth-rank ones, with the alchemical insights of Purple Mansion Cultivators!

Seeing the envious looks of the others, Lin Shiming continued to take out two more Storage Bags, one for Lin Shiyi and the other for Lin Houwei.

In Lin Shiyi's Storage Bag, aside from the fundamental Superior Grade Spirit Stones, was the third-rank Superior Grade Thousand Layer Mountain artifact. The Red-haired Demon Monkeys of the Thousand Layer Mountain didn't need it now, but there was also a good supply of body-forging Spirit Grass.

These Spirit Grasses were obtained by Lin Shiming in the little world, and having enough for himself, he had allocated a generous amount to others.

For Lin Houwei, Lin Shiming gave him the Purple Gold Gourd, which now lacked the Wind Fire Star Sand but still was an artifact of half Supreme Grade and half Superior Grade, bringing great joy to the recipient, who even boldly declared he would grab Lin Shiming for a drink.

After everyone had received their treasures, they took their leave one by one. Lin Shiming, finally looking toward Lin Xianzhi, who was full of satisfaction, gave an awkward smile and returned the Split Soul Banner to him with both hands.

Lin Xianzhi accepted it graciously and then spoke up with a serious expression:

"Shiming, there is still one thing you have yet to handle!"
