Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

229: Island ConspiracyShiling Cave, with the Lin Family’s development, now had a long row of underground stone chambers.

Besides Cultivators like Lin Houyong and Lin Shijie who were already there, the Lin Family had once again summoned some Cultivators.

The entire Lin Family now had over four hundred Cultivators, five or six times more than when Lin Shiming first took charge.

Previously, due to the war and the lack of high-level Family combat power, the Spirit Veins, markets, and merchant teams were all in a state of suspended operation.

Now that all the Cultivators in Yunzhou had returned, although many Loose Cultivators had fallen, the market was beginning to recover, and the Lin Family naturally had to seize the opportunity.

The Family’s Artifact Refining Pavilion was operating at full capacity, requiring a considerable amount of gold-iron stone.

Inside Lin Houyong’s stone chamber, Lin Shiming’s Divine Sense scanned the surroundings, finding that Lin Shijie was not there, so he asked:

”Fifth Uncle, has the Gintetsu Crystal already been mined?”

”Yes, Family Head, it has already begun. With the disappearance of the Huang Family and the Li Family, the market for third-tier Magical Artifacts in Qingyun Market is huge. Our Family, not counting Lin Shizhong, now has two Cultivators capable of refining third-tier Magical Artifacts!” Lin Houyong said, a little excited.

The Qian Family of Yunzhou, for some unknown reason, had fallen silent and had been exceptionally low-key these past few years.

Throughout Yunzhou, their Lin Family was now considered a major Family, and most of the shops in Qingyun Market were in their Lin Family’s hands.

Aside from the portion submitted to Zi Xuan Sanren and Senior Cultivator Xie, their Lin Family’s income was extremely impressive, and consequently, the welfare of the Lin Family’s Foundation Establishment Cultivators also increased. The Lin Family now had six Foundation Establishment Cultivators, with three more in seclusion.

Naturally, mining Gintetsu Crystal was also an urgent matter!

Lin Shiming nodded. In the past decade or so, the Family had made significant progress in both Artifact Refining and Alchemy.

Coupled with the previous income from monkey wine, as well as Spirit Cuisine like Spirit Fish and Spirit Alligators, the Family had added so many Cultivators, yet its finances not only had no problems but had subtly become even more affluent.

After discussing other Family affairs with Lin Houyong, Lin Shiming headed towards the underground mine.

He quickly found Lin Shijie in the mine containing Gintetsu Crystal and took two Cultivators.

One of them was the Old Man Chen at Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level, and the other was Cultivator Xu.

Lin Shiming then took the two of them, along with Lin Shijin and Lin Shizhong, and once again headed towards Poison Valley... In the main hall of Poison Valley, with the appearance of the Teleportation Array, the two Loose Cultivators were utterly astonished.

Although they had never seen a Teleportation Array, they had heard of its reputation.

Especially since Lin Shiming had secretly brought them here, the two became somewhat uneasy.

”You two are smart. Go to the other side of the Teleportation Array to gather information. You must return within half a day!”

”Otherwise, the Curse Heart Pill will take effect, and you wouldn’t want to see the Curse Heart Gu act up, would you!”

Lin Shiming took out two bottles of the antidote for the Curse Heart Pill.

Old Man Chen and Cultivator Xu had both taken the Curse Heart Pill, and it had been exactly six days ago. If they couldn’t return on time, the Curse Heart Gu would act up.

”Senior Lin, the other side of this Teleportation Array...” Old Man Chen was the first to react, a hint of difficulty appearing on his face.

”Stop haggling. Yes or no? Lin has time to find replacements!” Lin Shiming’s eyes suddenly sharpened, and the two immediately became terrified, kneeling down in a hurry.

Seeing this, Lin Shiming took out three High-Grade Spirit Stones and handed them to Old Man Chen.

The rich Spiritual Qi made the latter’s expression involuntarily relax, and his spirits lifted.

It was the first time the two had seen High-Grade Spirit Stones, and their eyes were filled with greed. But they quickly suppressed it, and it vanished.

”These are the High-Grade Spirit Stones for your return!” Lin Shiming instructed again.

Then he took out two Teleportation Talismans and gave them to the two.

The two took the Spirit Stones and Teleportation Talismans and went to the Teleportation Platform.

Only then did Lin Shiming place the High-Grade Spirit Stones.

As the three Spirit Stones were embedded, waves of Spirit Light began to flow, covering the center of the Teleportation Platform in a net-like pattern.

One Spirit Rune after another emerged, like a dazzling, vast starry sky, brilliant and colorful.

Lin Shizhong was diligently recording everything with a Jade Slip, and Lin Shijin’s expression was also very serious.

Whether the Teleportation Talismans could be used was also a test of his ability to refine Spirit Talismans.

Even Lin Shiming felt a bit nervous at this moment; the imagined System prompt had not appeared.

”Shizhong, be ready to destroy the Teleportation Array later!” Lin Shiming transmitted a very serious message to Lin Shizhong.

If someone came from the other side of the Teleportation Array, the pre-prepared method to destroy the Teleportation Array would immediately be put into action.

As a dazzling light appeared, everyone’s eyes were momentarily blinded.

The next moment, the light disappeared, and with it, the two Loose Cultivators.

The three High-Grade Spirit Stones on the Teleportation Platform instantly dimmed by a tenth, indicating that the three High-Grade Spirit Stones were only enough for ten teleportations.

This time, even Lin Shiming felt a pang of heartache.

He didn’t have many High-Grade Spirit Stones. If there was no profit or danger on the other side of the Teleportation Array, at least three High-Grade Spirit Stones would be wasted.

Of course, what he should be most concerned about at this moment was the potential crisis.

Lin Shiming casually summoned the Golden Winged Mantis and the Red-haired Demon Monkey, watching the Teleportation Array with full vigilance.

The three of them had long memorized the places where the Teleportation Array could be repaired and where it needed to be destroyed. If the enemy was powerful, he would not hesitate to destroy the entire Teleportation Array...

In an underground hall, it was extremely dim, with no light.

The next moment, with a burst of rich white light, Old Man Chen and Cultivator Xu appeared together.

The two felt a dizzy spell, clutching the High-Grade Spirit Stones and Teleportation Talismans tightly. After confirming that there was no danger nearby, they each revealed resentful looks.

Lin Shiming was using them as cannon fodder to scout ahead, and he didn’t even allow them to bargain.

”Daoist Chen, are you really willing to work for the Lin Family like this? This is the other side of the Teleportation Array!” Cultivator Xu was the first to lose his composure. In his anger, he even kicked the Teleportation Hall fiercely.

However, he didn’t dare to use his full strength. If he damaged the Teleportation Array, he would truly be tortured to death by the Curse Heart Gu.

”Of course not. We’ll look for an opportunity. Even if we die, we can’t let the Lin Family have an easy time. He’s just a young brat, a bit more talented, that’s all. He probably hasn’t experienced much danger!” Old Man Chen also spoke with disdain.

After exchanging glances, the two extended their Divine Sense outwards.

”This is on an island? Have we reached the territory of the Heavenly Demon Sect of Chu State?” Cultivator Xu exclaimed in surprise.

”No, it might be the Outer Sea. There are no traces of Cultivators moving here at all, and there’s clearly a second-tier High Grade Spiritual Vein on the island!” Old Man Chen replied.

Then, the two used Earth Evasion Technique to head towards the island.

”There are so many resources on this island!” Cultivator Xu quickly exclaimed again!

The island was not small. On the beach, there was a large patch of Spirit Coconut Trees, emitting a rich Spirit Light. One or two sea bird Yao Beasts occasionally appeared, pecking at the Spirit Coconuts. At the same time, there were many other Spirit Medicines on the island, like a Secret Realm.

”Indeed, a place like this is perfect for the two of us to cultivate diligently!” Old Man Chen was also exceedingly pleased!

”Fellow Daoist Xu, all we need to do is find a way to kill a few young sea birds, attract the third-tier sea birds, and then we’ll coordinate our stories to get Lin Shiming to come over and let them fight to the death!”

”Right, Lin Shiming never intended to give us the antidote for the Curse Heart Pill from the start. We absolutely cannot let him get away with this so easily!” Cultivator Xu nodded in agreement.

After the two discussed how to coordinate their stories, they each went into action...
