Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

21: inheritance stoneLin Shiming watched quietly from the side, while Lin Xianzhi continued to caress the jade-like stone body of the small stone door.

This stone door was originally a secret compartment door, only half a meter square, and he quickly examined it in his hand.

Lin Xianzhi placed the stone door on the table and, without a word, took out another green stone from his Storage Pouch and placed it beside it.

Surprisingly, Lin Shiming’s Divine Sense was also absorbed by the green stone.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Lin Shiming, confident in his Divine Sense, would never have believed such a thing existed before him.

”Shiming, this item of yours is most likely a Legacy stone from another Family, and what’s more, at least a Purple Mansion Legacy!” Lin Xianzhi’s words, ”Purple Mansion Legacy,” completely stunned Lin Shiming.

A Purple Mansion Legacy, that was at least a Profound Rank High Grade Cultivation Technique or secret art. The Lin Family was said to only have two, one a Cultivation Technique and one a secret art.

A secret art, also known as a pseudo-Divine Ability, could only be mastered by Foundation Establishment Cultivators at the very least. Moreover, mastering a secret art would make the comprehension of Divine Abilities in the Purple Mansion Realm clearer, almost increasing the probability of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator entering the first layer of the Purple Mansion.

”Did you also obtain this stone in Peach Blossom Valley?” Lin Xianzhi asked Lin Shiming about the origin of the stone door. A Purple Mansion Legacy involved too much and could easily attract covetous gazes.

One must know that the saying ’a man’s wealth is his ruin’ happens almost daily in this Cultivation world.

”Yes!” Lin Shiming did not hide anything and recounted the story of how he obtained the stone door in detail.

He even let the Clan Leader glance at the Jin Chi (Golden Wings) Mantis.

The Clan Leader, Lin Xianzhi, looked at the Jin Chi (Golden Wings) Mantis and was extremely surprised, then asked about the Jin Chi (Golden Wings) Mantis’s origin.

He had completely not expected Lin Shiming to have so many good things.

Lin Shiming naturally told him everything, revealing the fact that he had stumbled upon a treasure.

”You truly have good luck. This mantis has a very high chance of reaching the Peak of a second-order Yao Beast in the future!” Lin Xianzhi commented, giving what he considered an extremely high praise.

Lin Shiming nodded, showing a surprised expression.

Although he knew the Jin Chi (Golden Wings) Mantis’s potential was far from the Peak of the second-order, it was the third-order.

But he couldn’t show it; not only would it be hard to explain, but he also needed to show respect to a Senior.

”Shiming, every Purple Mansion Family, to prevent their Legacy from falling into other hands, uses a ’Hidden Spirit Secret Scroll’ to create specific Legacy stones. However, the methods to open these Legacy stones are vastly different. Even I have only seen two types: one is from a Family that uses Spirit Fire, and the other is our own Green Lotus Legacy stone, whose unlocking method is also related to the Green Lotus!” Lin Xianzhi once again shifted the topic back to the Legacy stone. Lin Shiming’s inquiry about the treasure’s origin naturally also required a solution.

”Of course, it’s not impossible to open it by force. It would require a Formation Master at least one rank higher, which means a fifth-order Formation Master!”

”Understood, thank you, Old Ancestor, for clarifying. Shiming understands!” Lin Shiming nodded, the excitement in his heart largely diminished. He hadn’t expected it to be something akin to a safe.

Speaking of which, he wondered which Senior came up with this method of protecting a Legacy, capable of concealing Divine Sense.

Placed in some rooms, it would be completely inconspicuous, and those not from the Family couldn’t open it through secret arts.

Even if others obtained it, without the secret art, they could only sell the Legacy stone.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to find a Golden Core Realm fifth-order Formation Master to open it for you.

”You can try searching around Peach Blossom Valley again. Perhaps there are still remnants or belongings of that Family’s descendants!” Lin Xianzhi suggested again.

Lin Shiming just nodded and agreed. There was nothing he could do at the moment.

However, at least he knew it was a Purple Mansion Legacy.

After learning what the treasure was, Lin Xianzhi gave Lin Shiming a few more pointers, then departed.

Lin Shiming remained in the pavilion and began to Cultivate, preparing for a Breakthrough.

Lin Shiming had not long ago broken through to the fifth layer of Qi Condensation, only about a year. However, the fortuitous encounters of these days, coupled with the spirit wine and spirit water, had filled the Spiritual Qi in Lin Shiming’s Meridians.

Calming his mind and closing his eyes, Lin Shiming involuntarily immersed himself in the Cultivation of the Green Wood Art... He didn’t know how much time had passed when Lin Shiming opened his eyes, Spiritual Qi surging within them, looking extremely spirited.

This was because Lin Shiming had just broken through and couldn’t yet control his Spiritual Qi well; he would adapt in a few days.

That’s right, Lin Shiming had smoothly broken through to the sixth layer of Qi Condensation. The next Breakthrough would be facing the major hurdle of the Late Stage of Qi Condensation.

Many Cultivators in the Family with poor talent were permanently stuck at the sixth layer of Qi Condensation.

Unable to advance further, but Lin Shiming, at present, didn’t need to consider such things; he was still young.

Looking up, Lin Shiming couldn’t help but gaze towards the center of the lotus pond, where he saw Seventh Grand Uncle sitting atop a huge lotus leaf, an immense amount of water spiritual power surging into his body.

”Is this the strength of a Foundation Establishment Stage expert?” Lin Shiming’s heart trembled, and the excitement of his Breakthrough immediately diminished considerably.

However, thinking that one day he too could break through to Foundation Establishment, he felt a renewed surge of motivation.

Lin Shiming cupped his hands in greeting, bowed, and then quietly left, regardless of whether the latter had acknowledged him.

This was, after all, the Family’s lotus pond, and the Clan Leader was using it to heal his injuries with spirit wine.

It was best not to disturb him.

Returning to his residence on Fangmu Mountain, Lin Shiming released the Jin Chi (Golden Wings) Mantis and the Red-haired Demon Monkey.

Then he released spirit wine and spirit water. As for the Yao Beast meat, it was no longer used. Instead, he took out some spirit rice he had purchased, steamed it into rice, and fed it to the two beasts.

After all, the Red-haired Demon Monkey was now his Spirit Beast, and giving it demon monkey meat would be a bit much.

After several days of slumber, the Jin Chi (Golden Wings) Mantis’s body had grown another size, as if the High Grade spirit wine had accelerated its growth.

Its entire body was now almost as large as the Red-haired Demon Monkey’s, and from then on, it could no longer perch on Lin Shiming’s shoulder.

Its entire body’s spiritual power had already reached the strength of a second-order Low Grade Yao Beast. With only a little training, it could fight for Lin Shiming, thus adding another combat force.

As the number one foodie, the Jin Chi (Golden Wings) Mantis squeaked and began to drink the spirit wine and spirit water and eat the spirit food. Its big gulps made one wonder if Lin Shiming had been abusing it.

The Red-haired Demon Monkey stood timidly to the side. Due to the Spirit Contract, the Yao Beast wouldn’t bare its fangs at Lin Shiming, but it was clearly impossible for it to be particularly affectionate all at once.

However, seeing the Jin Chi (Golden Wings) Mantis eating more and more deliciously, and the spirit food and spirit wine diminishing, the Red-haired Demon Monkey also became anxious.

It walked over, placing a hand on the Jin Chi (Golden Wings) Mantis’s two increasingly large forelegs, seemingly afraid that the latter would strike her with its scythes.

After confirming it had a grip, it howled twice and began to eat.

The Jin Chi (Golden Wings) Mantis naturally squeaked, somewhat angered, but it only relented under Lin Shiming’s soothing.

After feeding the spirit food, Lin Shiming prepared to leave. He was, after all, the guard of Green Peach Mountain, but now, the time he spent on Fangmu Mountain was less than the time he spent on Green Peach Mountain, which made him feel a bit embarrassed.
