Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

367: Purple sandalwoodXuri Palace was uncharacteristically bustling, with a large number of Cultivators gathered and all Formations activated, making it exceptionally strict.

When Lin Shiming arrived at the palace entrance, Loose Immortal Sanyang’s voice transmission reached him.

“Junior Brother Lin, go to the side hall; Revered Master has a request!”

Lin Shiming nodded and took out his token.

A Cultivator guarding the palace entrance also stepped forward and personally led Lin Shiming towards the side hall.

“Senior Lin, Immortal Master is currently discussing important matters with Real Person Hongye, so please move to the side hall.”

“Understood!” Lin Shiming nodded. The vast Rising Sun Island wasn’t home to just one Immortal Master; there were two on the surface.

And the matter of the Ziyang Secret Realm concerned the Cultivation of Immortal Masters, so they naturally paid close attention to it.

The entrance to the side hall was a pavilion built of nanmu wood. Passing through a long wooden corridor, one could see a smaller hall.

The hall door was tightly shut, but seeing Lin Shiming approach, it opened, revealing Loose Immortal Sanyang.

Loose Immortal Sanyang waved to Lin Shiming.

“Junior Brother Lin, before entering the Secret Realm, you can try the incense of this purple zenith sandalwood. Perhaps your strength can be improved a bit more!” Loose Immortal Sanyang introduced.

Lin Shiming bowed in response, then peered into the hall. Inside, besides Loose Immortal Sanyang, there were eight other people, all Cultivators at the Mid Purple Mansion Realm or above.

Two of them were so powerful that Lin Shiming couldn’t even discern their Cultivation.

Besides the Cultivators, the room was filled with lingering incense. This incense was extremely peculiar, divided into nine strands, winding their way towards the nine Cultivators.

These incense smoke plumes varied in size, with the two Cultivators whose Cultivation couldn’t be seen, likely Peak Purple Mansion Cultivators, having the largest plumes.

When Lin Shiming entered, Loose Immortal Sanyang closed the door again.

“Junior Brother Lin, this purple zenith sandalwood is a rare item Revered Master uses to refine the Divine Soul. It can increase Divine Sense. Even when breaking through to the Purple Mansion Realm, burning some of it can make gathering the Divine Soul easier. Revered Master only brings it out once every ten years. Junior Brother, you’re a bit late, so quickly sit down and refine it, as Spirit Medicine in the Ziyang Secret Realm is hard to find!”

“Thank you, Senior Brother Sanyang!” Lin Shiming again bowed in thanks. This incense, which could increase the Divine Soul, immediately made him think of Lin Shitao. If she had this incense, her chances of successfully breaking through to the Purple Mansion Realm would greatly increase.

And right now, this incense could also increase his Divine Sense, expanding its range to find more Spirit Medicine in the Secret Realm.

Just then, the System prompt sounded again:

“Please note that there is traceless incense hidden within the purple zenith sandalwood incense!”

Lin Shiming’s heart instantly tightened. He had naturally heard of the famous traceless incense, a spiritual incense used to mark the Divine Soul. It was usually colorless and odorless, but after inhaling this spiritual incense, one could be easily tracked by a spiritual insect called the traceless worm.

This was clearly out of concern that everyone might take the Spirit Medicine and flee.

Lin Shiming thought about it and felt at ease. After all, if a Purple Mansion Cultivator were to abandon their controlled island or Family, absconding with the Spirit Medicine, it was indeed possible.

One should know that, according to Loose Immortal Sanyang, there would be some deviation when exiting the Ziyang Secret Realm; it wouldn’t be in the exact same location.

Lin Shiming pondered for a moment but still absorbed it. Even with the traceless incense, Real Person Xuri wasn’t afraid that people wouldn’t inhale it, which was clear from the fact that all nine people here were calmly inhaling it.

Not inhaling it might not only prevent entry into the Secret Realm but also anger Real Person Xuri and Real Person Hongye.

Lin Shiming found a spot behind Loose Immortal Sanyang and sat down, taking out his mysterious cushion and beginning to meditate.

From the Pill Furnace, the burning purple zenith sandalwood automatically released a wisp of incense towards Lin Shiming.

Upon inhaling the incense, he felt an ancient, elegant fragrance. The scent wasn’t strong but exceptionally pleasant, and as it flowed into his Purple Mansion, his entire Divine Soul began to feel excited.

And his Divine Sense, as expected, slowly began to grow.

Lin Shiming was somewhat pleased by this. When his Divine Sense first entered the Purple Mansion Realm, he had some advantages due to the Spirit Splitting Art and the three yuan forging spirit flower.

But after breaking through to the Purple Mansion Realm, there were no corresponding Spirit Medicine or secret arts.

However, Lin Shiming also had a sudden thought. He actively began to circulate the Spirit Splitting Art.

Although splitting the Divine Soul was still somewhat painful, with the enhancement of the purple zenith sandalwood, the refining effect doubled.

Lin Shiming opened his eyes and looked at the others, who were clearly all circulating their own secret arts.

After a quick glance, he didn’t pay too much attention and certainly wouldn’t use his Divine Sense to observe, as observing with Divine Sense was a great disrespect to Cultivators.

With the purple zenith sandalwood, Lin Shiming was no longer anxious. The gradual strengthening of his Divine Soul, visible to the naked eye, also filled him with satisfaction and joy.

After all, a powerful Divine Sense not only brought greater benefits in the Ziyang Secret Realm but also greatly benefited his future Cultivation and combat.

It also brought many advantages to him in operating his Soul Suppressing Tower Lifebound Treasure set.

Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, three days had gone by.

The incense in the censer was finally consumed, turning into the last bit of ash and falling off.

In the hall, all ten people opened their eyes one after another, and Lin Shiming also awoke from his Cultivation.

This time, even after Cultivating the Spirit Splitting Art, his Divine Soul was not only pain-free but also exceptionally relaxed.

This made him unable to help but praise the uniqueness of the purple zenith sandalwood incense.

At this moment, Lin Shiming also noticed quite a few Cultivators looking at him.

Lin Shiming returned a faint smile, and as footsteps sounded again, Real Person Xuri walked in from the side.

At this moment, Real Person Xuri was beaming, his complexion extremely rosy, as he walked in front of the ten people.

“I have good news for everyone. This time, Fellow Daoist from Tianliu Island will also form an alliance with us, increasing the likelihood of acquiring Spirit Medicine!” Real Person Xuri waved his hand, sending Jade Slips flying out.

They landed in the hands of the ten people. Lin Shiming’s Divine Sense also probed the Jade Slip, finding that it contained information about the ten people, including their appearance.

And their respective responsible islands, although their Cultivation Technique was not included.

“This alliance is in secret. If the Spirit Medicine is jointly sold, it will be equally divided. You must avoid exposure in the early stages!” Real Person Xuri added.

“We will not fail Immortal Master’s trust!” Lin Shiming and the other ten replied in unison.

Real Person Xuri nodded with extreme satisfaction, especially looking at the two Peak Purple Mansion Cultivators, and even asked about the purple zenith sandalwood.

Clearly, his attention was more focused on them.

Before long, Real Person Xuri spread his hand again, and another Jade Slip flew out. This time, it began to be passed around, starting from the two Peak Purple Mansion Cultivators.

Clearly, it contained information about the Ziyang Secret Realm.

By the time it reached Lin Shiming, he was the sixth one.

As soon as the Jade Slip appeared, it indeed contained information about the Ziyang Secret Realm, and what shocked him completely was that these Spirit Medicine were located within countless small Secret Realms.

And the so-called Ziyang Secret Realm was a Purple Mansion Secret Realm cluster!

The Jade Slip recorded several small Secret Realm cave-heavens where five-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine had once appeared.

“All information must be kept in mind, not to be leaked, and an oath of the heavenly dao must be sworn!”
