Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

174: Screen prompts (please subscribe)In Tianhe City, within the Lin Family’s courtyard, the mist of mingxin tea curled upwards.

A rich aroma of tea instantly filled the entire room.

Lin Shiming picked up a teacup, first pouring a full cup for his Seventh Grand Uncle, who was sitting opposite him, and then poured one for himself.

”This spirit tea is indeed excellent! That Wood Demon can certainly be considered a cultivatable item!” Lin Xianzhi finished a cup and felt his entire being become ethereal and clear. Not only did his fatigue disappear, but he also seemed to gain some new insights into the progress of his cultivation.

”Shiming, with your catalytic speed, you should be able to catalyze spirit plants more than twice as fast now, right!”

Lin Xianzhi continued, and Lin Shiming nodded.

However, Lin Shiming did not say much, while Lin Xianzhi kept talking about this and that.

Lin Shiming simply kept refilling the spirit tea.

Cup after cup, pot after pot.

After more than half an hour, Lin Xianzhi finally sighed and said, ”If you want to Cultivate the Grass Character Sword Art, then Cultivate it. This wood-attribute sword art might truly help you achieve your supreme Sword Dao!”

Lin Shiming finally relaxed. While he and Lin Xianzhi had indeed been drinking tea and chatting for a long time, accompanying his elder, his greater desire was to Cultivate the Grass Character Sword Art.

If the Mysterious Grade Secret Realm opened, he did not want Lin Xianzhi to go in alone and risk his life.

Of course, he wasn’t acting on a whim. His strength was already considerable, and with High-Grade Spirit Stones, he was confident he could achieve a Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage within three years. He also had confidence that his Body Refining cultivation and Divine Sense would advance another level.

Additionally, he had the Golden Winged Mantis and the Red-haired Demon Monkey as Spirit Beasts.

Most importantly, even if he came out of the Mysterious Grade Secret Realm, he had the grotto-heaven pearl and could hide some spirit items.

Both he and Lin Xianzhi actually faced a crucial hurdle: the Purple Mansion.

However, the main Spirit Medicine required for Purple Mansion Jade Liquid was the ziyu fruit, and the ziyu fruit was not only unavailable in the outside world but had never even been heard of.

Naturally, the most important Secret Realm of the Qingxuan Sect would contain ziyu fruit. In fact, an attendant from the Duo Bao Tower had discussed this with Lin Xianzhi, specifically to jointly obtain ziyu fruit from the Mysterious Grade Secret Realm.

”Shiming, these are my insights from cultivating Sword Intent over the years. Take them and read them!” Lin Xianzhi took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Lin Shiming.

He also understood that for Lin Shiming to support the Lin Family, he must also Cultivate the Grass Character Sword Art.

Previously, he had been unwilling for Lin Shiming to Cultivate it, only because he was worried that Lin Shiming would enter the Mysterious Grade Secret Realm with him, which would put both of them in danger. But on second thought, Lin Shiming cultivating a cultivation technique was something he could not stop, whether he allowed it or not.

It was just that Lin Shiming respected his teacher and the Dao and did not want to offend his elder.

Moreover, while Lin Shiming was formidable, he had always relied on his Spirit Beasts and the Wood Vine Technique, as well as fighting alongside other Cultivators. If one day his cultivation far surpassed his Spirit Beasts and the Wood Vine Technique, and he had no other Lin Family members of similar cultivation to assist him, he would lack a decisive killing move.

”Thank you, Seventh Grand Uncle!” Lin Shiming happily accepted the Jade Slip.

After discussing Family matters for a while longer, Lin Shiming excused himself and departed.

He immediately returned to his room and began to comprehend Lin Xianzhi’s insights into the Dao of the sword while also studying the Grass Character Sword Art.

As for the Mountain Ape Body Refining Art and the Spirit Splitting Art, they were extremely unsuitable for Tianhe City, which was on the verge of war.

The former required recovery after strengthening the physique, and the latter, which tore at the Divine Sense, also required the Spirit Splitting Art for recovery.

Lin Shiming took out his enlightenment cushion, sat upon it, and first cultivated the Purple Wood Heart Sutra once, bringing his state to its peak. Then, he opened his Seventh Grand Uncle Lin Xianzhi’s insights into sword enlightenment.

The Dao of the sword and sword arts emphasized a clear Sword Heart, where every strike was naturally perfect.

He admitted that he only knew the art of sword manipulation; as for true Sword Dao, he had only caught a fleeting glimpse when Zi Xuan Sanren and Immortal Master Tianjian made their moves.

Lin Xianzhi’s insights into the Dao of the sword were extremely detailed, encompassing his youthful confusion when cultivating the sword, his adoption of various strengths from different schools when practicing the sword in his thirties, and then, in his forties, his initial comprehension of a trace of Sword Intent.

Finally, there was the heroic spirit of seeing all mountains as small once Sword Intent appeared, the thirty years spent by the lotus pond, the introversion of the Dao of the sword, and then its transformation.

Bit by bit, from drawing the sword to striking with it, the essence of the Dao of the sword contained within it paraded through Lin Shiming’s mind.

This continued for three days before Lin Shiming finally opened his eyes.

At this moment, his Face was full of joy, and there was even a faint sword light in his eyes!

Of course, this did not mean Lin Shiming had achieved initial mastery of Sword Intent, but rather that within this Jade Slip, not only were Lin Xianzhi’s insights, but also a trace of Azure Lotus Sword Intent.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but be amazed by his Seventh Grand Uncle’s talent in the Dao of the sword, but at the same time, he also gained a rough understanding of the Dao of the sword.

Lin Shiming took a deep breath and closed his eyes again to review.

However, this time, he was not reviewing or trying to immerse himself, but rather trying to forget.

No matter how strong Lin Xianzhi’s Sword Intent was, it was his own, a continuous surge of water attribute, and the indomitable, all-destroying force of the metal attribute.

Half a day later, the aroma of tea rose again, and the tea mist filled the air.

Lin Shiming, still on the cushion, opened the Jade Slip of the Grass Character Sword Art.

The same scene as that day reappeared, but this time, Lin Shiming saw that Sword Grass.

The purple Sword Grass was sprouting, comprehending the sword, and then growing.

In an instant, it felt as if hundreds of years had passed, yet that blade of grass was still gathering momentum, nurturing its sword.

Then, a single sword strike was unleashed.

Hundreds of years of accumulated Sword Intent made that sword unique in heaven and earth.

Heaven and earth lost their color!

Grass rose, sword fell!

Heaven cracked, earth sank!

The scene vanished, utterly annihilated without a trace.

Lin Shiming closed his eyes again, a hint of bitterness on his lips.

He knew that the Sword Intent contained within the Jade Slip had disappeared. This Sword Intent was Zi Xuan Sanren’s Sword Intent, just like the Jade Slip Lin Xianzhi had given him; once the sword light disappeared, most of the true meaning was lost.

It would be false to say Lin Shiming wasn’t disappointed. Although the Sword Intent from the two scenes gave him many insights, he was mostly confused. Unlike Lin Xianzhi’s insights, which were simple and easy to understand, the current Grass Sword was clearly more difficult, and Zi Xuan Sanren evidently hadn’t been more meticulous, or perhaps, Zi Xuan Sanren’s Grass Sword had reached a level he couldn’t comprehend.

He tried to Cultivate the content of the sword art but felt a surge of irritation in his heart.

However, at this moment, the System prompt appeared again.

But this time, it wasn’t a prompt, but a replay of the scene he had just witnessed, slowed down by more than a hundred times!

The only difference was that this time, it was green Sword Grass, a green foxtail grass.

Lin Shiming was greatly surprised. He hadn’t expected the prompt to be a visual one, but he was also overjoyed.

If he had been somewhat confused by the ’Grass Sword’ strike earlier, then this ’Grass Sword’, slowed down ten times, gave him much more clarity.

Furthermore, the scene was distinctly different from the purple Sword Grass. He saw the foxtail grass wielding a sword in the wind.

Dancing with the sword!

Ten times!

A hundred times!

Ten thousand times!

This was the true momentum of the Sword Grass!

The true meaning of the Grass Character Sword Art gradually emerged in Lin Shiming’s mind...
