Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

The Minor Divine Ability Tree was planted in a stone pool approximately three feet in diameter, which contained no water but sparse mud instead.

However, mysteriously, the mud did not share the same extraordinary splendor as that of the radiance shining from the Minor Divine Ability Tree.

The mud remained plain black and yellow in color, but from within the sparse soil emanated an extremely thick aura of Earth Attribute Spiritual Energy.

Lin Shiming couldn't help but walk forward; he had been focusing solely on the Minor Divine Ability Tree, completely forgetting about the soil and the stone pool.

Now, he could see that this was anything but ordinary soil—it was all Third Rank Spirit Soil.

And as the Array broke, the hall began to emit the Spiritual Energy of a Third Rank Earth Attribute Spirit Vein.

Everything became clear; the Wu-named cultivator indeed found a good location. No wonder he infiltrated the Seven Fiends of Lingnan; this Third Rank Earth Attribute Spirit Vein was the same as the ones within the Qingyun Mountain Range.

It was most suitable for the growth of the Minor Divine Ability Tree, and there was so much Third Rank Spirit Soil—a full stone pool of it, much more than in the Qingyun Mountain Range.

However, he estimated that the Minor Divine Ability Tree must have certain requirements for the Spirit Soil, for it had taken a large amount of Spirit Soil with it when it was taken from the Spirit Beast Sect.

Lin Shiming's gaze joyfully returned to the Divine Ability Tree.

Rich treasures in radiance swirled around it as if it contained the miracle of heaven and earth within it—stunningly beautiful.

Simply standing beside it, one could feel as if the sound of the Dao was echoing around.

The Minor Divine Ability Tree would only reach about three feet in height in its lifetime, making it exceptionally short compared to other Spirit Trees.

But it would take a full two hundred years to mature.

The essence of two hundred years' worth of Spiritual Energy would concentrate in a single fruit, and once the fruit ripened, the tree would wither.

Just imagine, a single Minor Divine Ability fruit could allow a Purple Mansion cultivator to comprehend an additional Minor Divine Ability—undoubtedly elevating their level on the Purple Mansion path.

Even among Sect Purple Mansion cultivators, not everyone could comprehend a Minor Divine Ability.

Based on its current height, the Minor Divine Ability Tree appeared to be only sixty years old, which meant it required another one hundred and forty years to mature, which somewhat disappointed Lin Shiming.

But to possess such a treasure was already as fortuitous as having clouds of luck. If it were about to mature, its value would be much greater, and the likelihood of him being able to obtain it would be even slimmer.

Lin Shiming was also a Second Rank Intermediate Grade Spirit Plant Master at this moment; he hesitated over whether to transplant the Minor Divine Ability Tree. Transplanting it would surely harm the tree, but to leave it here without a Third Rank Spirit Shielding Array was also risky.

Being near the Qingyun Mountain Range, who knew how many Demonic Beasts would come, and even worse were the cultivators that might arrive.

If word got out, those seeking trouble with the Lin Family wouldn't just be Foundation Establishment families and the Purple Mansion Family; undoubtedly, the Qingxuan Sect and Spirit Beast Sect would be among them.

At this thought, Lin Shiming made up his mind to put the Minor Divine Ability Tree into a Jade Box and take it with him.

For fear of the night bringing more problems, Lin Shiming did not hesitate to use the highest grade Nurturing Spirit Liquid combined with his own Wood Attribute force from the Purple Wood Heart Sutra.

However, to his chagrin, he discovered that neither his Wood Attribute Spiritual Power nor the Nurturing Spirit Liquid had the slightest effect.

At that moment, he could only use brute force like a Loose Cultivator, to move the Minor Divine Ability Tree.

Lin Shiming used his Flying Sword to lift both the Minor Divine Ability Tree and the Spirit Soil, then took out a Jade Box and cast several Spirit Arts.

He placed the Minor Divine Ability Tree into the Jade Box, only to see the Jade Box's material start to crack, clearly unable to withstand the overwhelming Spiritual Energy. Lin Shiming had to wrap it in another Jade Box to prevent excessive loss of the tree's Spiritual Energy.

Once the Divine Ability Tree was secured, Lin Shiming finally let out a sigh of relief.

Only then did he have the leisure to examine the hall, which spanned a hundred feet in all directions. Aside from the stone pool in the center that held the Divine Ability Tree, the rest of the space appeared quite empty, furnished with just a few stone tables and a meditation cushion.

At the far end of the hall, there were several stone chambers.

Lin Shiming entered the first chamber and immediately noticed dozens of unprocessed Golden Iron Stones placed inside.

The second and third stone chambers, one being the practice chamber and the other the bedroom, were both exceptionally simple and devoid of anything worth noting, quelling any thoughts Lin Shiming might have had of finding more treasures.

After checking everything, Lin Shiming took out a defensive array, activated it, and placed it in the stone hall to minimize the leakage of spiritual energy.

He then once again used an Earth Escape Talisman, heading toward the ground.

After scanning the surroundings and seeing nothing unusual, Lin Shiming released the Golden Luan Eagle to keep watch and, without looking back, headed toward Fangmu Mountain.

...

On Fangmu Mountain, the lotus flowers in the Spirit Pool were blooming as splendidly as ever.

Lin Xianzhi and Lin Houyuan were discussing Dao over tea in the pavilion.

After the battle in Xing County Square Market, Lin Houyuan recognized his numerous shortcomings and, upon returning, repeatedly practiced and frequently sought advice from Lin Xianzhi.

As Lin Xianzhi was at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, his cultivation experience was extremely precious to Lin Houyuan.

However, in the next moment,

"Hou Yuan, what do you think of Shiming?" Lin Xianzhi asked suddenly, changing the subject after taking a sip of Spiritual Tea.

This caught Lin Houyuan by surprise, prompting him to inquire,

"Seventh Great-Uncle, what do you mean?"

"What do you think about him becoming the Family Head?" asked Lin Xianzhi out of the blue.

"This... although Shiming is talented, he is still inexperienced and in need of further tempering. It would be better to let Hou Shou take the position," Lin Houyuan answered hesitantly.

Even though he was well aware of Seventh Great-Uncle's intentions and truly hoped for Lin Shiming to succeed, the twenty-five-year-old Lin Shiming still seemed too young to him.

"Are you still regretting what happened with the water matter? Remember, in choosing the worthy, do not avoid your relatives. Since Shiming is capable, why not let him try? Whether it's the auction or the matter of the Huang Family's Purple Mansion Cave Mansion, he has shown a vision that is even longer-term than yours or mine," Lin Xianzhi praised and replied.

Just then, a streak of Spirit Light appeared and landed in Lin Xianzhi's hand.

After giving it a glance, Lin Xianzhi smiled and said,

"Speaking of Shiming, he's just arrived."

Hearing this, Lin Houyuan also showed a puzzled expression. When Lin Shiming applied to go to Lingnan County, he had said that the time was not fixed and that he wanted to temper himself.

Less than a half month had passed, and he was already done tempering himself?

Lin Xianzhi seemed to have an inkling and, with a wave of his hand, sent out a Spirit Message.

It wasn't long before Lin Shiming arrived at the pavilion.

"Seventh Great-Uncle, Father!" Lin Shiming greeted the two elders respectfully.

Then, with an excited expression, he said,

"Seventh Great-Uncle, Father, I've discovered a vein of Golden Iron Stone in Lingnan County!"

Upon hearing this, both men immediately stood up from their tea, faces full of shock.

"Are you certain it's a vein of Golden Iron Stone?" they both asked with a tremor in their voices.

Although the Lin Family was already doing much better among the Foundation Establishment families, the family's finances were a huge concern. The Li Family was targeting them in Qingyun Square Market, and assassinations were carried out against the Lin Family's Demon Hunting Team in the Qingyun Mountain range.

As a result, the family had to raise their wages considerably, but their income had decreased significantly.

Even with the recent income from Xing County Square Market and the Spirit Fish, the family's development was still hampered by the scarcity of Spirit Stones. To think, the Lin Family's Immortal Assembly for the Shi generation was fast approaching eighty members.

Faced with the elders' bewilderment, Lin Shiming promptly took out a palm-sized piece of Golden Iron Stone and showed it to the two elders for inspection.
