Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

49: The Secret of Kung FuOn Fangmu Mountain, the Green Lotus Pond had undergone a major transformation. The emerald green lotus leaves were like large green umbrellas, dyeing the entire Spirit Pond green.

Amidst this green, delicate red lotus flowers were dotted, forming a beautiful painting.

Though it was spring, it felt as if summer had already arrived.

Above the Spirit Pond, layers of faint spiritual mist floated, giving the entire Green Lotus Pond and the pavilion a touch of an immortal Realm’s Spirit Pond.

Lin Shiming opened his eyes, feeling the abundant and solid Spiritual Qi within his body, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Two full months had passed since the Qi tide, and Lin Shiming had finally successfully re-Cultivated, restoring his Realm to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

The Profound Rank High Grade Purple Wood Heart Sutra, worthy of being the Profound Rank High Grade Cultivation Technique Cultivated by the Old Ancestor, once mastered, provided almost double the Spiritual Qi of the Green Wood Art at the same level, and its condensation degree was incomparable.

Moreover, it came with a familiar catalytic effect. It could be said that if Lin Shiming had time in the future, he could still perform spiritual plant catalysis. Although the effect would not be too exaggerated, a fifty-year-old spiritual plant, if diligently catalyzed daily, could be matured in twenty-five years.

Besides this, his use of the Wood Vine Technique would also be much faster. In the past, his infusion and catalysis were always prepared in advance, taking advantage of his enemies’ ignorance.

But now, with Wood Core seeds, as long as they were all scattered, they could almost launch an effective attack.

Especially the highly toxic Serpent Vine Flower, Lin Shiming could catalyze three of them in one go even without drinking spirit wine, and the speed at which the vines grew would be twice as fast. At that point, Lin Shiyi’s method of defeating them while they were still seeds would not be as effective.

However, during this Cultivation, Lin Shiming also discovered a shocking secret!

Under the System’s prompt, a route for the Purple Wood Heart Sutra’s Great Heavenly Cycle was actually modified, one that could even be described as completely opposite.

This was something Lin Shiming had never encountered before. Previous prompts, whether for the Green Wood Art or improvements to spiritual plant secret techniques, only involved minor deviations!

And when he tried to Cultivate according to the original path for a while, he would subtly feel pain in his Meridians. However, this was nothing to a Cultivator, and most people would naturally overlook it.

But with the System’s prompt, it was no small matter.

He naturally believed the System’s prompt was correct, which meant there was a problem with the Purple Wood Heart Sutra given to him by the Qingxuan Sect.

How could a true Purple Mansion Cultivation Technique have such a major flaw?

When Lin Shiming first had this suspicion, he was terrified for a long time!

He was clearly already a Disciple of Purple Mansion Loose Cultivator, practically half a person of the Qingxuan Sect.

At this moment, he was deeply shocked as he thought, why were there so many Families in Zhao Country, yet not a single one could become a Golden Core Family!

How could the Sect Family maintain absolute dominance?

One must know that the cohesion of a Family is far stronger than that of a Sect, as Bloodline unites them, while a Sect relies only on a thin layer of master-Disciple relationship.

But if the Cultivation Technique itself was wrong from the start, and they didn’t even occupy the ’Fa’ (Law/Cultivation Technique) among wealth, companions, law, and land, then how could they Breakthrough to Golden Core in the future? It made sense that they would be firmly suppressed by the Sect.

“Indeed, the Sect taking Named Disciples from Families is a trap!” Lin Shiming hadn’t understood before, thinking that the Sect taking Named Disciples was to give those Family Disciples an advantage.

But now, looking at it, it was a huge open conspiracy!

If you don’t have a good Cultivation Technique, then I do. But if you don’t completely leave your Family and join the Sect, then you Cultivate a fake Cultivation Technique!

While the latter wasn’t fatal, and might even be far better than ordinary Cultivation Techniques, at that time, they would probably still be easily manipulated by the Sect!

Lin Shiming was full of distress. He didn’t know how to tell his Seventh Grand Uncle about this. He believed his Seventh Grand Uncle definitely didn’t know about it either, as the one who tampered with this Cultivation Technique was at least a Purple Mansion Loose Cultivator.

His Seventh Grand Uncle might not truly be able to discern it.

At the same time, he also didn’t know if his Seventh Grand Uncle was also Cultivating this kind of Cultivation Technique.

His heart also completely confirmed that his Seventh Grand Uncle must have had a transaction with Purple Mansion Loose Cultivator!

That day, Purple Mansion Loose Cultivator’s fleeting gaze at Seventh Grand Uncle’s Azure Lotus Sword light, though he never spoke of it, he could not forget.

Lin Shiming couldn’t help but sigh heavily. Seventh Uncle was in the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, and the Family’s Elders were becoming more numerous, yet he felt the crisis drawing nearer.

His thoughts were a tangled mess. Inside his Storage Pouch, the three Spirit Beasts began to convey their longing emotions again.

Lin Shiming released Golden Wings, Red-haired, and Golden Luan one by one. The Red-haired Demon Monkey immediately burst forth with its mischievous nature, leaping about on the clear lotuses. If these lotus leaves weren’t all third-grade spiritual plants, it would have probably fallen into the Spirit Pond by now.

After a stern warning from Lin Shiming, the Red-haired Demon Monkey reluctantly jumped back, still being rambunctious around Lin Shiming.

The Golden Winged Mantis still squeaked at Lin Shiming’s feet, much more well-behaved than the Red-haired Demon Monkey. And based on its previous performance, the Golden Winged Mantis’s terrifying speed and its golden mantis scythe still left Lin Shiming very satisfied.

The Golden Luan Eagle stood on Lin Shiming’s shoulder, quietly preening its feathers.

After taking out spiritual food and Beast Nurturing Pills and feeding them one by one, Lin Shiming didn’t stop for a moment, putting the three back into his spirit beast pouch.

If these three Spirit Beasts caused trouble in the Spirit Pond and were seen by Seventh Grand Uncle, it wouldn’t be good.

Lin Shiming got up and walked out of the Spirit Pond. Lin Xianzhi was surprisingly not nearby today. Inside the pavilion, the chessboard remained the same.

The only difference was that the white pieces had moved, and the black pieces had also moved.

The white pieces had begun their counterattack, and the black pieces also revealed their murderous intent.

Lin Shiming stood by the chessboard, his eyes slightly narrowed, standing for a long time... In the Lin Family’s Council Great Hall, all the Elders were gathered, and Lin Xianzhi sat at the head of the hall.

Everyone was very serious, yet also held some anticipation.

Lin Houyuan held a Storage Pouch in his hand, containing a full one hundred and twenty thousand Spirit Stones.

And two months later, it would be the day of the Qingxuan Sect’s Qingxuan Market auction for Foundation Establishment Pills.

“Seventh Uncle, the Spirit Stones are all ready!”

“Hmm, this time, Houyuan, Houyong, Yuqing, Yushui, and Yuzheng will go with us. Everyone else must be careful.”

“This time, the Li Family probably won’t be able to sit still either!” After saying that, Lin Xianzhi’s face was also full of solemnity.

A Family that had declined to only one Foundation Establishment Cultivator had to face a Purple Mansion Family.

And the pressure was all on him.

“Yes!” The Elders replied in unison.

“Oh, and if Shiming comes out of seclusion, Shiming will also go this time. And call Shijie along!” Lin Xianzhi added.

Immediately, the Lin Family began a full mobilization. If an observant person paid attention, they would notice that some Cultivators had quietly left Fangmu Mountain, following the Grand Elder.
