Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

178: planInside the Demon Slayer Tower, under the long screen, Lin Xianzhi’s gaze finally settled.

”Steward Wei, please help me retrieve the Three Pureness Foundation Establishment Pill!” Lin Xianzhi handed over his identity token to a corpulent Qingxuan Sect steward.

The Demon Slayer Tower had people from all Three Sects, and naturally, one steward from each of the Three Sects served. This Cultivator Wei was precisely from the Qingxuan Sect.

”Fellow Daoist Lin, you’re too polite. I, Wei, will handle it for you right away!” Steward Wei took the token, examined it, then retrieved the Medicinal Pill bottle and handed it to Lin Xianzhi, his gaze then falling on Lin Shiming beside him.

The Three Pureness Foundation Establishment Pill was effective for Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivators, and Lin Xianzhi exchanging for this Medicinal Pill was clearly for Lin Shiming beside him.

”Fellow Daoist Lin, if I may be so bold, during wartime, it’s best to focus on one’s own Cultivation!”

”Thank you for the reminder, Steward Wei!” Lin Xianzhi also cupped his hands in greeting.

At this moment, Lin Shiming’s eyes darted left and right, appearing somewhat displeased.

”Steward Wei, help me exchange for a heavier Magical Artifact, the heavier the better!” Lin Shiming spoke, and at the same time, ostentatiously handed over his token.

”A heavy Magical Artifact?” Steward Wei’s expression also soured. He was at Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, and at the very least, he was on equal footing with Lin Xianzhi. Although he had heard that Lin Shiming’s talent and strength were good, with such a Heart-Nature, how could he achieve great things?

Steward Wei, for Lin Xianzhi’s Face, didn’t say much and first looked at the token, finding only twenty Foundation Establishment Early Stage contribution points.

Then, he pointed to a series of Low Grade Tier 3 Magical Artifacts on the screen and began to speak.

”Can’t I exchange for a Medium Grade Tier 3 or High Grade Tier 3 one?”

”There is a bead Magical Artifact, though!” Steward Wei replied coldly.

Then he pointed to the grotto-heaven pearl.

At this moment, Lin Shiming’s spirits lifted. He hadn’t expected Steward Wei to be so understanding.

He immediately hit on the key point.

”How heavy is it?” Despite his immense inner excitement, Lin Shiming remained outwardly calm.

”You can try!” Steward Wei directly threw the bead in front of Lin Shiming.

Lin Shiming caught it and felt as if an entire mountain had pressed down on him, heavier than a Red-haired Demon Monkey’s full-force punch.

He finally managed to catch it by expending his true Qi.

”Good, I’ll exchange for this!” Lin Shiming said with certainty, his eyes filled with joy.

Steward Wei, without another word, swiped the token, deducting the contribution points.

Then he spoke:

”It’s done, but this Magical Artifact is quite particular about its master!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiming tested it with his true Qi, and the next moment, his Face fell. The other meaning of being particular about its master was that it couldn’t be refined.

A bead that couldn’t be refined, no matter how heavy, couldn’t perform miracles in battle.

Steward Wei waved his sleeve, turned, and continued to guard the counter, not giving Lin Shiming any chance to speak further.

Lin Shiming could only follow Lin Xianzhi back to their residence.

Along the way, Lin Xianzhi didn’t speak, nor did he ask about the bead.

And Lin Shiming also didn’t open his mouth to discuss the matter.

As soon as they returned to the residence, Lin Xianzhi threw out several Formation Flags, skillfully casting out streaks of Spirit Light.

As one Spirit Isolation Formation after another covered the area, Lin Xianzhi turned to look at Lin Shiming, staring at him without speaking, his meaning self-evident.

Lin Shiming immediately knew he couldn’t hide it. With the extent of his acting, anyone familiar with him would notice, and Lin Xianzhi was naturally one of them:

”Seventh Grand Uncle, my mantis sensed something good again, so I exchanged for it!” Lin Shiming continued to use the excuse he had fabricated earlier about the Peach Blossom Valley incident. Anyway, the Opportunity was found by that mantis, and a golden mantis having some ability was also quite reasonable.

He didn’t want to tell Lin Xianzhi about the grotto-heaven pearl, just as Lin Xianzhi had sealed his memory when he modified his Cultivation Technique that day.

”Alright!” Lin Xianzhi didn’t ask further. He then gave Lin Shiming the exchanged Medicinal Pill and said:

”If you don’t understand anything, you can always come and ask me. Also, if you Breakthrough, I will help you submit a request for isolated cultivation this time, so you won’t have to participate in several future battles!”

”Thank you, Seventh Grand Uncle!” Lin Shiming looked up, a little touched. Even at this time, Lin Xianzhi still chose to exchange Medicinal Pills for him instead of increasing his own combat power.

But he knew he couldn’t change Lin Xianzhi. He could only remember this kindness and move forward with the hope of the Lin Family.

Seventh Grand Uncle left, carrying a heavy burden and a deep trust.

Lin Shiming shook his head and took out the grotto-heaven pearl.

The grotto-heaven pearl was very heavy, like a mountain. If he hadn’t supported it with his true Qi, Lin Shiming felt as if the bead would directly smash his hand.

One must know that he was a Body Cultivator.

However, the heavier it was, the more Lin Shiming inwardly rejoiced.

The heavier the Grotto-heaven World, the larger the internal space it indicated.

The grotto-heaven pearl was not a perfectly round sphere, but rather an oval bead, gray in color, made of neither stone nor jade.

After observing it for a while, Lin Shiming put away the grotto-heaven pearl and did not immediately incorporate it into his Dantian to combine with his spirit platform.

Instead, he began to Cultivate the Purple Wood Heart Sutra.

Since Lin Shiming returned to Tianhe City, his Cultivation had become smoother day by day, and his Cultivation base visibly improved.

This was because his true Qi had been refined to an extreme degree, not much inferior to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

At this moment, he was only one catalyst away from the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, and then it would be a natural progression... Inside an unknown pavilion, a blue-robed Cultivator sat in the main seat of the great hall, while a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator below him, hunched over, reported in detail.

”Reporting to Junior Martial Uncle Dong, all one hundred and twenty treasure maps in the Demon Slayer Tower have been distributed!”

”Good, well done. Counting those distributed in the black market previously, the mysterious Medicinal Garden in the Qingxuan Secret Realm will surely be opened this time!” The blue-robed Cultivator’s index and middle fingers tapped rhythmically on the nanmu armrest of the throne, his expression slightly excited.

”By the way, Junior Martial Uncle Dong, that bead has also been exchanged for?” The Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator continued.

”Oh, who exchanged for it?”

”A young Cultivator from a small Family in Yunzhou within the Qingxuan Sect’s territory. He seems extremely young and utterly inexperienced.”

”But he was subtly guiding me, so it might be good luck, not a deliberate exchange!”

”If he was guiding you, keep an eye on him. If his Cultivation base Breaks Through recently, or if he masters that Magical Artifact, report to me immediately!” After the blue-robed Cultivator finished speaking, his eyes also playfully gazed into the Void Realm. He had studied that bead for decades, and even with his Purple Mansion Cultivation, he couldn’t do anything with it. The bead’s weight was only equivalent to a Foundation Establishment Magical Artifact, not even reaching the Materials for a Magic Treasure.

After some thought, he stopped worrying about it and instead thought of the treasure map, and even more so, the Medicinal Garden within the Qingxuan Secret Realm.

Speaking of this Medicinal Garden, he had discovered it during his last participation in the Qingxuan Sect’s Mysterious Grade Secret Realm, but at that time, he couldn’t open it. Now that he was a Purple Mansion Cultivator, he hadn’t forgotten to continue his plans.

It was just that the Formation of that Medicinal Garden was a bit cruel, making it difficult to recruit people from his own Sect.
