Chapter 649 - 409: Reprimand and Arrest (Combined for 1000 Monthly Votes from Last Month)_2
He then took the Jade Slip, which contained recorded information, from Lin Shijie's hands.
He didn't explain much further.
Lin Shijie didn't ask any further questions.
In his view, Lin Shiming's Divine Sense was vast and far-reaching, and he wanted to give it a try.
If it weren't for his lack of strength, he would have liked to try it himself.
With the Spirit Puppet and the Formation at his disposal, he really wasn't afraid of the other Purple Mansion cultivators on Jiuyue Island.
After Lin Shijie reminded him a few more times,
Lin Shiming took out the Zifeng Boat and, taking advantage of the tumultuous night, left immediately.
The best time to capture Water Spirit Shells is in the early morning. According to the speed of the Zifeng Boat, he should be able to arrive at the location of the Water Spirit Shells just as dawn breaks.
Along the way, Lin Shiming was quite cautious, not only wearing the Five-Light Spirit Crocodile Armor but also draping the Starlight Battle Clothes over his body to ensure that even if he encountered a Demon King, he would have a chance to unleash the Flaming Sword.
This sea area was not near Heavenly Phenomenon Island, so the appearance of a Demon King was not surprising.
Because of the concentrated beast tide, there weren't many Great Demons in the sea at this time, but some scattered Second and Third Rank Demonic Beasts had not yet been completely cleared.
On his way, he also encountered some cultivators from Heavenly Phenomenon Island. As the horizon began to show the first light of dawn, the sky slowly brightened. Lin Shiming finally saw an island emerging in the distance.
This island was similar to the one near Spirit Turtle Island where Lin Shiming had previously been, with one side being a rocky beach and the other covered with trees, with abundant vegetation and a lush expanse.
Lin Shiming landed from the Spirit Boat, not daring to proceed by Spirit Boat any further. Instead, he began to take out his purple jade Fabrication Magical Treasure and employed the Divine Concealment Ability from the Sword Storing Book.
Step by step, he stealthily approached the island.
Upon arriving near the island, Lin Shiming indeed saw an extensive cluster of Water Spirit Shells.
These Water Spirit Shell clusters were small; some were only the size of a palm, while others were as large as a hut, lying on the shallow beach, rhythmically contracting and absorbing the essence of Spiritual Energy.
They were packed densely, far more than ten times the number of the group Lin Shiming had previously captured.
Those huge Water Spirit Shells were naturally Fourth Rank Water Spirit Shell Great Demons.
They were roughly the same size as the Star Spirit Clams in Lin Shiming's Cave Heaven, but their preciousness naturally paled in comparison to the Star Spirit Clams.
Within the gaping mouths of these four Fourth Rank Water Spirit Shell Great Demons, Lin Shiming could vaguely see the Fourth Rank Water Spirit Pearls emitting a unique Spirit Light.
Strangely enough, the Fourth Rank Water Spirit Shell Great Demons each contained at least two Fourth Rank Water Spirit Pearls in their shells, with the largest one containing three pearls.
Each Fourth Rank Water Spirit Pearl was the size of a fist, sparkling brightly with Spirit Light.
In the distant dawn light, Lin Shiming's heart bloomed with excitement.
He focused his mind, knowing that although the Water Spirit Shells were not as formidable in combat as other Demonic Beasts, their water escape technique was terrifying.
He had to strike like a thunderbolt.
The Second and Third Rank Water Spirit Shells could escape, but it would be a great pity if even one of the Fourth Rank ones did.
He first took out all six Soul-Suppressing Pagodas, and then retrieved the Illusionary Spirit Gourd and Illusionary Spirit Vines.
Between the sound that ensnared souls and the Illusion Technique, he was confident he could bewitch even the Fourth Rank Water Spirit Shells.
He planned to then gather them all into the Illusionary Spirit Gourd.
As he took out these Magical Treasures, he also secretly transmitted his voice to the wood-attribute Star Spirit Clam, Golden Wing, and the Red-haired Demon Monkey, instructing them.
Apart from the wood-attribute spirit beast, he had the other three each focus on one shell. All three had the combat power of Fourth Rank.
Though the wood spirit beast did not, it could pay attention to the Third Rank Water Spirit Shells.
The largest one, with three Water Spirit Pearls, was naturally his own to observe.
This was a precautionary measure.
The key was his use of the Illusionary Spirit Vines entanglement and Illusion Technique.
For the Second and Third Rank Star Spirit Clams, he took out two Spirit Controlling Seals used to control Purple Mansion Demonic Beasts. These Demonic Beasts, kept in the Spirit Beast Bag, had been secretly marked with the Spirit Controlling Seal by him to be used for herding.
To secure the Fourth Rank ones while acquiring as many Water Spirit Shells as possible.
Everything set, Lin Shiming slowly began casting the Spirit Art with his hands.
The six Soul-Suppressing Pagodas suddenly appeared from the void, arranging themselves in a hexagonal formation and trapping much of the sea area.
The Water Spirit Shell Great Demons quickly reacted, stirring up towering waves.
The momentum was tremendous, and those clam shells could also shoot out sharp sand and stones, not a small force.
When they struck the Soul-Suppressing Pagoda, a roaring sound was emitted.
Just then, the sound of soul capturing also activated, and as expected, all of those Second and Third Rank as well as the remaining three Fourth Rank Water Spirit Shells were momentarily stalled.
But only the one at the mid-stage of the Fourth Rank Water Spirit Shell still transformed into resplendent Spirit Light and burst forth.
Lin Shiming's Soul-Suppressing Pagoda immediately reacted, blocking the mid-stage Fourth Rank Water Spirit Shell. At the same time, the Illusionary Spirit Gourd released the Mystic Fog first, closely followed by the Illusionary Spirit Vine appearing, turning into countless vines, and binding the three Fourth Rank Purple Mansion Water Spirit Shells first!
The Illusionary Spirit Vine also began to form a gourd, releasing the Mystic Fog.
The green Mystic Fog covered most of the island in the blink of an eye.
It trapped most of the Second and Third Rank Water Spirit Shells, but there were still quite a few that escaped towards the sea. At this time, Lin Shiming's wood spirits and even the Golden Winged Mantis Spirit Shell started to drive them away!
At this moment, Lin Shiming didn't pay attention to these but was watching the most powerful Water Spirit Shell.
In his hand, the Soul-Suppressing Pagoda constantly moved about, and the Watery Escape Technique of the Water Spirit Shell proved extremely potent, the six Soul-Suppressing Pagodas were somewhat unable to restrain it, forcing Lin Shiming to use the Space-breaking Needle, striking the shell of the Water Spirit Shell heavily.
Instantly, the Great Demon let out a clicking roar of anger.
Its body involuntarily stalled, halting its escape. After all, the Space-breaking Needle was a Fourth Rank Superior Grade Magical Treasure.
And just then, Lin Shiming leaped behind the Water Spirit Shell using the Leaping Void Disk, and with a fierce punch, he smashed it into the air.
With a shake, the Water Spirit Shell was violently knocked into the air by Lin Shiming; at this point, he couldn't let the Water Spirit Shell dive back into the water.
As a body cultivator, Lin Shiming was not only comparable to a Flood Dragon of the same rank but had also consumed the Great Strength Fruit, so that punch left the Water Spirit Shell somewhat dazed.
The Illusionary Spirit Gourd was then recalled, and with a swoop, it sucked in the Water Spirit Shell.
Lin Shiming hurriedly affixed a Spirit Talisman.
Finally having dealt with the most dangerous mid-stage Fourth Rank Water Spirit Shell, Lin Shiming was able to deal with the remaining three Fourth Rank Water Spirit Shells.
These three had already broken free from the Illusionary Spirit Vine, two of them trapped by the Red-haired Demon Monkey and Golden Winged Mantis, desperately darting about in a panic.
The remaining one was completely immobilized under the tentacles of the Star Spirit Shell.
Seeing this, Lin Shiming suddenly felt he had underestimated the battle strength of the Star Spirit Shell.
He had thought the Star Spirit Shell lacked fighting capabilities because it had never attacked before.
But now, seeing that it could produce Star Spirit Fluff and that its physical body was extremely strong, how could it possibly lack combat abilities?
Entangling a Fourth Rank Water Spirit Shell was the best example of that!
Lin Shiming, therefore, first helped the Red-haired and Golden Wing to subdue those two, applied the Spirit Controlling Seal to briefly control them, then started using the Cave Heaven to sweep the surrounding seas, drawing all the Water Spirit Shells affected by the Mystic Fog into the Spirit Lake within the Cave Heaven.
Currently, the Spirit Lake was inhabited only by some mysterious black fish and Red Spirit Fish, not a match for this group of Water Spirit Shells.
He wasn't concerned about them escaping.
Nevertheless, because many of the Second and Third Rank Water Spirit Shells had such speed, a lot of them still managed to escape.
Being accidentally killed by several Demonic Beasts, Lin Shiming felt greatly pained.
But thinking of the four Fourth Rank Water Spirit Shells, his mood was soon lifted.
In the Spirit Lake, formations had already been set up, initially to prevent Wang Jiao from targeting the Star Spirit Shell.
Now, it was just right to accommodate this group of Water Spirit Shells.
Though this was only a temporary solution as his Cave Heaven couldn't nurture so many Water Spirit Shells.
In time, he would have cultivators who specialized in breeding Water Spirit Shells apply Soul Binding Forbidden to these Second and Third Rank Water Spirit Shells.
The early-stage Fourth Rank Water Spirit Shells would then be given to Lin Xianzhi, Lin Shitao, and Lin Shijie, one each.
The mid-stage Fourth Rank Water Spirit Shell could be kept in his Cave Heaven.
This way, all the Purple Mansion cultivators of the Lin Family, except for the Guest Elder Jiuxiao, would have a Water Spirit Shell. Of course, even if the latter did not have one, he would also provide a Fourth Rank Water Spirit Pearl for him to cultivate with.
Moreover, on his upcoming trip to Tianliu Island for negotiations, he already had a gift for Hermit Yulin.
After all, the four Water Spirit Shells yielded a total of nine Water Spirit Pearls.
Feeling delighted, Lin Shiming lost the interest to continue capturing the escaped Second and Third Rank Water Spirit Shells as scattering around to catch them further would be meaningless.
Instead, it might lead to encountering dangers in the vast ocean.
