Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

Golden splendor spilled onto the sea's surface, pulsating with the ceaseless undulations of the water.

Around the island, many cultivators were still clearing out the Second Rank demonic beasts.

By now, most of the Third Rank demonic beasts had been eliminated, but there were still some Second Rank hiding at the bottom of the sea or on the island itself.

The cultivators had an unspoken understanding; they left these Second Rank Qi Cultivation demonic beasts for their own disciples to face as a trial.

Lin Shiming, too, returned to Jiuyue Island silently in the failing light of the sun.

At this moment on the island, Lin Houshou led the second group of the Lin Family cultivators under the guidance of Lin Xianzhi to Jiuyue Island.

The Transmission Formation was set up in the very center of Jiuyue Island, not far from the market's valley and, most importantly, not far from the Jiuyue Peak that the Lin Family occupied.

Lin Family had no businesses to manage on Jiuyue Mountain, but rather it was a pure place of plunder and a frontier island.

They plundered resources from the Outer Sea, and also bought resources from loose cultivators and small families to enrich the Lin Family.

Additionally, they defended against Heavenly Phenomenon Island and the onslaught of beast tides.

And when a beast tide arrived, should a Demon King appear, the Lin Family would immediately retreat.

Although Jiuyue Island was easy to defend, the Lin Family could not hold it indefinitely.

"Seventh Great-Uncle!" Lin Shiming saw Lin Xianzhi near a pavilion adjacent to the Transmission Formation.

The Seventh Great-Uncle still looked young, even younger than himself by a significant margin.

He hadn't felt this way before, but as he grew older, he found it increasingly strange.

"Seventh Great-Uncle, you must be close to your breakthrough!" Lin Shiming straightforwardly handed over a Spirit Beast Bag that contained a Fourth Rank Purple Mansion Water Spirit Shell to Lin Xianzhi.

The latter was startled as he looked at the Storage Bag and then his eyes shone as he gazed at Lin Shiming,

"How many?" Clearly, Lin Xianzhi, upon his arrival on Jiuyue Island, had learned about Lin Shiming and Lin Shiyuan's deeds from Lin Shijie.

But he was unsure about the exact number of Water Spirit Shell Great Demons they had captured.

"Four!" Lin Shiming replied.

"And at least two Water Spirit Pearls each."

"That's excellent!" Although Lin Xianzhi seldom praised anyone, he was never stingy with compliments when it came to Lin Shiming, even though over the years Lin Shiming had already given him many surprises.

Every time, there was a breakthrough.

This made it exceedingly difficult for other clan members to earn even a few words of praise from the old ancestor.

"Then I shall accept this Water Spirit Shell!" Lin Xianzhi nodded. Four of them were certainly enough for every cultivator in the Lin Family to possess one.

After using the Water Spirit Shells for a while, they could be reinserted into the Water Spirit Shell at half consumption to continue nurturing them.

By repeatedly using them this way, as long as the population of Water Spirit Shells grew, the Lin Family could use them endlessly.

The only downside was that one Fourth Rank Water Spirit Shell occupied a spot reserved for Soul Arrest.

Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to bring a Purple Mansion Great Demon under control.

After discussing with Lin Xianzhi for a while, Lin Shiming then looked towards the Transmission Formation.

The Transmission Formation was still being set up by Lin Hou Shou, Lin Zelu, and Lin Shiyun.

At this moment, the few of them were quite adept at setting it up, and the required Void Nether Crystals for the Transmission Formation were all dispatched by Xu Ri Island.

Leaning on a true powerhouse afforded the Lin Family a real sense of relief.

Unlike the calculating Qingxuan Sect of the Eastern Domain, the Coral Alliance appeared to be a true unifying alliance, with even Purple Mansion families like the Lin Family, and even Foundation Establishment families, likely to experience significant growth under this model.

It took two full days to set up the Transmission Formation, and it was only after the combined efforts of three people, along with several Second Rank Lin Family clansmen, that it was finally completed.

The newly set Transmission Formation radiated spiritual light, with nine spiritual grooves converging into a beam of light that then dissipated into ripples.

Three Transmission Formations were to be arranged on Jiuyue Island as a measure for timely retreat in case of danger.

Two would connect to Heavenly Phenomenon Island while one linked to the Lin Family's Shuangmu Island.

However, for now, the one leading to Heavenly Phenomenon Island would suffice to enable Lin Shiming to smoothly travel to Tianliu Island.

"Shiming, save a good Water Spirit Shell for your Second Uncle!" Lin Hou Shou, having finished setting up the Formation, said laughingly.

Since resuming his practice of both Buddhist and demonic cultivation, Lin Hou Shou had regained his forthrightness. In the absence of outsiders, his tone with Lin Shiming was far more intimate and less formal.

Lin Shiming was pleased to see this.

There were fewer and fewer in the Lin Family who spoke with him so openly.

"Of course, Second Uncle!" Lin Shiming said with a slight smile, passing over a Spirit Beast Bag, and also giving one each to Lin Shiyun and Lin Zelu.

Inside each bag were Spirit Beasts. The Water Spirit Pearls obtained by the Lin Family were naturally prioritized for the Family's own prodigies.

Only then would they be sent to the Lin Family Restaurant.

Moreover, Lin Shiming also intended to allocate a portion as an offering to Xu Ri Island, planning to present one of the Fourth Rank Water Spirit Pearls.

When Lin Shiming saw Lin Shiyun, he even patted him on the shoulder.

His meaning was clear – after all, Lin Zelu's talent in formations and cultivation level had already surpassed that of Lin Shiyun.

Not only had he reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, but he was also a Superior Grade Third Rank Array Master.

Lin Shiyun, being the elder, naturally had to strive even harder.

Lin Shiyun chuckled awkwardly, yet also displayed a sense of resignation; being surpassed by Lin Zelu wasn't a matter of lack of effort on his part.

It was a matter of inherent talent differences.

Observing this, Lin Hou Shou merely chuckled lightly and truly felt joyful for Lin Zelu – the Lin Family's tradition in array magic had found a worthy successor.

"Second Uncle, are you ready for your breakthrough?" Lin Shiming then turned around, asking with genuine concern.
