Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

Inside the underground mine, accompanied by golden light, a golden figure appeared.

The surrounding cold jade shimmered with radiance. In the next moment, a claw light flashed by, and a piece of cold jade fell, seized within its mouth, before crawled out of the cave.

Lin Shiming and Lin Shiyi stood waiting outside. Seeing the cold jade radiating an intense chill, joy flashed in both of their eyes.

They took the cold jade into their hands, completely oblivious to the frost forming all around them.

"With this cold jade, our family's cultivators who practice corpse refinement techniques can increase significantly!" Lin Shiyi said happily to Lin Shiming.

For a powerful Golden Core family, and one with aspirations to become a Nascent Soul family in the future, development in multiple areas was essential.

On a personal level, having more cultivators who practice corpse refinement techniques would bring Lin Shiming a sense of connection as well.

At the very least, he'd have juniors to guide—environment matters greatly.

Of course, even more important than that was the cold jade's ability to reduce the emergence of heart demons.

The cold jade before them was a hundred-year-old cold jade.

If they could acquire thousand-year or even ten-thousand-year cold jade, its value would be immeasurable.

Yet, the two of them looked at the hundred-year cold jade brought by the Gold Devouring Rat and realized that the maximum potential here might only extend to thousand-year cold jade.

Ten-thousand-year cold jade would require the local spirit vein to upgrade to a fifth-rank vein, along with releasing an enormous amount of Spirit Stones for specialized cultivation.

Not to mention fully elevating the cold jade mine to the level of a ten-thousand-year cold jade mine.

If they could produce even one or two pieces of five-thousand-year-old cold jade in the future, it would count as a peerless treasure.

"Second Brother, once the transmission formation is set up, we'll head to the Cold Turtle's location. The family still greatly needs us!" Lin Shiming nodded and clenched his fists tightly.

The group continued to wait for the transmission formation to be arranged and the formations to be set up.

This would require Lin Zelu's assistance, and could not be rushed.

The two then sought out Lin Yanqing to confirm there were no further issues before beginning to excavate a cave residence and entering closed cultivation.

...

On Shuangmu Island under the Lin Family, today marked the third day. As dawn arrived once more, system notifications updated again:

[Congratulations on acquiring one treasure map of the Yunzhong Palace Secret Realm!] Lin Shiming had not expected the treasure map to be related to Yunzhong Palace.

Looking at it this way, he had gained quite a few treasures from the Heavenly Worry Sage this time.

No wonder there was information on the Spirit Map that he couldn't recognize.

Thinking of this, Lin Shiming took out the treasure map once more, studying it for a long time. However, finding no further clues, he stored the map back away and continued refining his Palace of Divine Sense.

The atmosphere grew calm once again.

By sunset, as brilliant evening clouds painted the sky, their reflection on Spirit Lake created a breathtaking scene.

Lin Shiming found himself momentarily entranced.

He realized it had been a while since he felt such leisure and serenity.

Of course, what broke his reverie wasn't an accident—it was the arrival of guests on the island.

Lin Shiming changed into clean robes and stepped out of his Cave Heaven. Shuangmu Island was still bustling with energy and filled with throngs of people.

At present, the Lin Family had over ten thousand cultivators.

Due to their need to manage both the Soarwood Archipelago and the Redwood Archipelago, there were extensive changes happening.

Nearly everyone over the age of twenty was assigned family tasks.

Lin Shiming headed towards Qinglian Peak.

The family's Council Hall was still located there.

As he arrived at the entrance to the Council Hall, he saw an elderly woman dressed in Qinghua Sect robes, supported by two lively, graceful young ladies.

The trio had evidently been waiting for quite some time, with Lin Yanjiao handling reception nearby.

"Granny Qingyu!" Lin Shiming greeted with a ceremonial bow.

After all, Granny Qingyu had once been an enemy, so naturally, his demeanor couldn't be overly cordial.

"Daoist Lin calls me 'Daoist,' yet your Lin Family is now a peak-level power!" Granny Qingyu spoke slowly.

"I just hope Daoist Lin doesn't feel bothered by this old woman's intrusion!"

After saying this, she took out a jade box and sent it flying toward Lin Shiming.

Lin Shiming glanced at the jade box and saw that inside was a Condensed Gold Fruit.

This Granny Qingyu was indeed generous.

Her first gift was a Condensed Gold Fruit.

Lin Shiming didn't decline—it was clear that Granny Qingyu had come with apologies and reparations.

After all, Qinghua Sect had once collaborated with Tianzhao Sect. The Lin Family and Coral Alliance had legitimate reasons to target Tianzhao Sect.

Moreover, later on, Xue Shan True Monarch and other True Monarchs had spared Granny Qingyu.

Otherwise, that day would not have ended so peacefully.

Of course, the Lin Family was indeed lacking in Condensed Gold Fruits.

At present, Lin Shijie had already used a Condensed Gold Pill. Previously, they had obtained one Condensed Gold Fruit from a trade convention, but currently, Lin Xianzhi, Lin Shitao, Lin Zekong, Lin Zecheng, Lin Shilei, Lei Xuan, and Lin Shiming were all already at the late Purple Mansion stage and needed to prepare for breakthroughs to Golden Core. The shortage of Condensed Gold Fruits was critical.

"Daoist Qingyu, please come in!" Having accepted the gift, there was no way Lin Shiming could leave her standing outside, especially since she was a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Still, courtesy aside, Lin Shiming maintained a safe distance.

Though he extended the invitation to Granny Qingyu, the Qiu Xue Sword remained hanging atop Five Flame Peak, ready to assist at any moment.

Inside the large hall, Lin Shiming offered tea to Granny Qingyu.

"Back then, Qinghua Sect owed Tianzhao Sect a debt of favor, but I've already repaid that favor. Daoist Lin need not remain so cautious!"

"Besides, your Lin Family is on the verge of producing a second True Monarch combatant—I wouldn't dare offend you!" Granny Qingyu leaned on a cane, her movements appearing weak either due to a secret technique or intentional pretense.

Still, Lin Shiming did not doubt Granny Qingyu's strength; back then on Heavenly Earth Island, she single-handedly operated a sixth-rank formation to block two True Monarchs.
