Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

425: Tiancai Ni, Yunzhong Palace (two in one thanks to Xiao Yule’s 100 coin reward)While hesitating, Wang Jiao flew towards the Jiaolong Nest.

The next moment, it was seen holding a huge wooden barrel between its two claws.

”Master!”

Wang Jiao panted, placing the wooden barrel in front of Lin Shiming, apparently still wanting Bloodline Restoration.

As this scene unfolded, the Red-haired Demon Monkey beside it did the same, also retrieving a huge jade barrel from a distant small mountain.

It roared and carried it over.

The Red-haired Demon Monkey still couldn’t speak, which puzzled Lin Shiming, but its expressiveness was no less than Wang Jiao’s.

It looked eager, as if saying what it had done during the beast tide.

It seemed afraid that Lin Shiming wouldn’t understand, so it conveyed its meaning through the Blood Pact.

It also wanted Bloodline Restoration!

And it wanted to use a Dragon!

It wanted to become a Dragon Ape!

Lin Shiming wore a wry smile, unsure what to say.

Not to mention that the Bloodline Ancestral Return Secret Method was ineffective for Fourth-Order Great Yao, unless Lin Shiming could find a higher-level secret method. Simply due to the isolation between Yao Beast Bloodlines, if the Red-haired Demon Monkey forcibly underwent Bloodline Restoration, the only result would be a Bloodline outburst, turning it into shattered remains.

However, Lin Shiming was looking forward to new pages in the Book of Hidden Paths.

Perhaps there would be a Fourth-Order secret method for further purifying Yao Beast Bloodlines, but that was too far off for now.

Lin Shiming shook his head, no longer thinking about it, but instead looking at the two barrels in front of him.

These two barrels were each larger than the last. One was made of Third-Order spirit jade, and the other was crafted from ancient fragrant spirit wood, adorned with auspicious spirit patterns.

Through inquiries with the Soul Restraining Seal, he learned that these were found by the two beasts in the Storage Pouches of their spoils.

The two beasts didn’t keep any Magic Treasures or Magical Artifacts, but they kept the two large barrels, each carefully hiding a Storage Pouch in their respective cave abodes.

”You are both Fourth-Order Great Yao now, and the Bloodline Ancestral Return Secret Method is no longer effective. You can consume more Yao Cores!”

Lin Shiming took out several Fourth-Order Yao Beast inner cores from his Storage Pouch.

Among them, Wang Jiao received a top-grade Fourth-Order Poison Flood Dragon inner core, as well as several Fourth-Order python inner cores.

Finally, Lin Shiming simply gave the Poison Flood Dragon’s corpse to the latter for consumption.

Only the Poison Flood Dragon’s scales, claws, and horns remained!

Lin Shiming intended to give these Materials to Nine Heavens Hermit to refine into Magic Treasures for Wang Jiao to use.

In addition, the Poison Flood Dragon’s poisonous gallbladder was also removed and given to the latter, which it swallowed in one gulp along with the spirit jade.

The poisonous gallbladder was full of toxins; even Lin Shiming dared not touch it with his hands or Spiritual Qi, instead using a jade vessel to contain it.

After eating, its entire body shone with an even darker light, dancing and circling incessantly in the air. Its two poisonous horns seemed to have gained more patterns and more dark light.

Its Jiaolong scales also changed, and with the passage of time, this dark light intensified.

It also understood Lin Shiming’s meaning and no longer insisted on continuing the Bloodline Ancestral Return Secret Method. Instead, it dragged the Poison Flood Dragon’s corpse to the side of the Jiaolong Nest, then ran into the Spirit Lake, where it drew a large amount of Third-Order spirit water into the wooden barrel from a place rich in spirit water.

Finally, its entire Jiaolong body entered the wooden barrel, soaking in the spirit water, and began to enjoyably devour the Poison Flood Dragon’s flesh and blood.

It swallowed spirit water from time to time, emitting loud growls.

And in the barrel, a faint dark light began to appear, just as it had when it previously digested the Nine-Headed Serpent’s corpse.

The spirit water was tinged with a dark light, as if poisoned, extremely eerie.

Seeing this, Lin Shiming was very satisfied. Wang Jiao’s toxins would grow stronger and stronger. Although devouring a Poison Flood Dragon wouldn’t lead to a Breakthrough in cultivation, its toxins were estimated to become much more potent.

Next time it sprayed toxins, it could kill a large number of Yao Beasts.

Thinking of this, Lin Shiming followed suit, distributing Fourth-Order Yao Beast inner cores to the Red-haired Demon Monkey and Golden Wings.

During this beast tide, the Lin Family had slain many Fourth-Order Yao Beasts. Even if they couldn’t consume Jiaolong inner cores, there were many other Yao Beast inner cores.

And since both were still in the Early Stage of the Fourth-Order, consuming these Yao Beast inner cores would be very beneficial.

He simply sent them all out, and also distributed a large number of Fourth-Order Yao Beast corpses for them to devour.

This was currently the fastest way to increase the strength of these Yao Beasts.

During the distribution, Lin Shiming also followed the principle of the Bloodline Ancestral Return Secret Method: the Red-haired Demon Monkey received some fire-attribute Yao Beasts, while Golden Wings received ice-attribute and metal-attribute Yao Beast corpses.

Golden Wings was fine, but the Red-haired Demon Monkey roared, somewhat dissatisfied.

It seemed to be saying that it could also devour a Dragon.

Seeing this, Lin Shiming couldn’t refuse and took out a piece of Red Dragon flesh for the Red-haired Demon Monkey to consume.

However, the Red-haired Demon Monkey had no share of the Dragon inner core.

The latter was still satisfied, even taking out a rack and releasing three spirit fires to begin roasting.

After these Yao Beasts were dealt with, Lin Shiming finally had some free time.

He first looked at the two Fifth-Order Jiaolong. Their Yao Beast inner cores, of course, were carefully preserved in Fifth-Order spirit jade boxes, precious beyond measure, and sealed with spirit talismans.

Not a single trace would leak out.

Next, he removed the Blue Eyed Demon King’s blue pupil and the Red Feather Demon King’s Jiaolong fins. Both were Fifth-Order Magic Treasure Materials, and if refined into Magic Treasures, their power would definitely be extraordinary.

As soon as the blue eye came into his hand, Lin Shiming felt a surge of water-attribute Spiritual Qi. Upon closer inspection, he could even see mysterious and profound spirit patterns in its intricate details. Lin Shiming was not unfamiliar with these spirit patterns, as his Minor Divine Ability was similar.

What surprised him was that this blue pupil was also a Minor Divine Ability, and it had even transformed into an eye technique, which had been preserved.

This was a huge surprise for him. When this blue pupil was refined into a Magic Treasure, it would be no worse than Immortal Master Xuri’s magical eyes.

This made Lin Shiming pay attention to the Red Feather Demon King as well, but the Red Feather Demon King seemed normal, just ordinary Fifth-Order Yao Beast Materials, without the spirit patterns of a Minor Divine Ability.

But in the future, whether refined into a spirit boat or a cloak Magic Treasure, it would be a good choice.

Lin Shiming then took out a Red Origin Shield, split into two halves. The Red Origin Shield was a Low Grade Fifth-Order defensive Magic Treasure, but it had been cut in half by the Yan Yang Sword.

Although its Spiritual Qi was greatly diminished, it was still a Fifth-Order Magic Treasure. The fiery red spirit patterns on its surface were still bright and scorching. Even half of it was comparable to a High Grade Fourth-Order defensive Magic Treasure.

If a Fifth-Order Artifact Refiner were to repair it, it might even be restored.

There were no more Fifth-Order Magic Treasures. Lin Shiming estimated that the Artifact Refiners belonging to the Jiaolong Clan probably didn’t have Fifth-Order Artifact Refiners.

It might also be an unspoken understanding among the Human Race not to exchange Fifth-Order Magic Treasures with the Yao Race.

After all, Fourth-Order Magic Treasures were nothing to Immortal Masters, but Fifth-Order Magic Treasures affected those Immortal Masters, and they controlled them very strictly.

It was probably only possible for a Demon King to acquire one by slaying a Human Race Immortal Master.

As for the remaining Fourth-Order Magic Treasures, there were many. The Peak Thunder Dragon’s was the Blue Thunder Sword, a top-grade Fourth-Order thunder sword Magic Treasure.

Lin Shiming loved it dearly, but it required thunder-attribute True Essence to exert its maximum power, though it would be good for Lin Shilei in the future.

Besides that, there was a top-grade Fourth-Order spirit shield, the Golden Sun Shield.

This was the Magic Treasure of the Peak Poison Flood Dragon, with extremely strong defense. Lin Shiming had to bypass the shield and directly use the Star Bead to kill the Poison Flood Dragon.

Lin Shiming planned to directly refine this treasure, as the beast tide was approaching, and there were still many dangers.

As for the other Magic Treasures, most were Middle Stage Fourth-Order and Low Grade Fourth-Order Magic Treasures. Lin Shiming collected them all into a Storage Pouch.

He planned to let Lin Shijie, Lin Shitao, and Seventh Grand Uncle choose from them.

The rest would be placed in the Family’s treasury as part of the Family’s foundation.

The Family’s Purple Mansion Cultivators would become more and more numerous. During the last beast tide, Immortal Master Hongye also rewarded the Lin Family with a portion of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid.

Adding the Lin Family’s last portion, Lin Shiyi and Lin Houshou each received one, while Lin Shimo used purple profound treasure jade.

After all, his Five Elements Heavenly Corpse Art, which condensed Five Elements Heavenly Corpse Beads, could increase his chances of advancing to the Purple Mansion by 30%.

If it weren’t for the strict requirements of the Five Elements Heavenly Corpse Art, the Lin Family would have vigorously promoted it.

After the Yao Beast inner cores were collected, all the Jiaolong were placed one by one into jade coffins, sealed with spirit talismans.

Lin Shiming then opened the Storage Pouches of these Yao Beasts one by one, finding many minerals and spirit fruits inside.

However, there weren’t many precious spirit fruits. If these great Yao had any precious ones, they would have devoured them long ago, leaving none behind.

Instead, there were quite a few Artifact Refining Materials, mostly Third-Order spirit Materials, and also some Fourth-Order spirit Materials. In the Storage Pouches of the two Fifth-Order Demon Kings, Lin Shiming also discovered Heavenly Colorful Mud. This Heavenly Colorful Mud was a Fifth-Order Material, one of the three main Materials for refining Fifth-Order Puppets.

This filled Lin Shiming with immense joy.

The Materials for Fifth-Order Spirit Puppets were not concealed by Thousand Machine Island.

After all, only Thousand Machine Island could refine Fifth-Order Spirit Puppets. If you had Heavenly Colorful Mud, you could only go to Thousand Machine Island.

They could help you refine it, but they would take half of your Heavenly Colorful Mud, and you would also have to purchase the other three main Materials: two-thousand-year-old nether dark iron wood and Dark Light Crystal.

Thousand Machine Island would not suffer any loss.

Of course, it wasn’t just the condition of the spirit Materials; it also required an introduction from the twelve inner island masters, otherwise, the refining request could not be made.

In the short term, Lin Shiming wouldn’t even think about refining it, not to mention gathering the spirit Materials or reaching the Golden Core stage.

Lin Shiming carefully put away the Heavenly Colorful Mud and continued to look at the other spirit items with anticipation. These Jiaolong Clan in the deep sea truly had many treasures.

However, he didn’t find any more Fifth-Order spirit Materials afterward, only a good number of Fourth-Order spirit Materials.

Besides that, a Fifth-Order spirit jade box appeared in Lin Shiming’s sight. This was from the Red Feather Demon King’s Storage Pouch; other spirit items were simply placed casually.

This jade box was so formal and made of Fifth-Order spirit jade.

Lin Shiming was immediately filled with anticipation. He first carefully opened the jade box with a spirit talisman, only to see a palm-sized token appear before his eyes.

This token was extremely peculiar, its spirit patterns constantly fluctuating.

The spirit patterns depicted a floating island in the sky, with clouds drifting and the island itself moving, sacred beyond measure, like a celestial palace in the air.

Yet, when Divine Sense swept over it, it appeared as an ordinary object. Such a treasure could only mean two things: either it was truly ordinary, or it represented a Magic Treasure that surpassed Lin Shiming’s understanding.

Lin Shiming picked up the token, caressing the patterns, and then glanced at the back.

He saw only three characters: Cloud Palace!

The three characters were written like a true Dragon and Phoenix, and a single glance made the world spin, as if he had stepped into a palace in a trance.

The palace floated in the air, surrounded by vibrant spirit plants and fragrant flowers, with even spirit tea Trees standing tall against the sky. Those Tea Trees were even larger than the Nine-Leaf White Fir Trees Lin Shiming had once seen.

The veins of each leaf seemed to outline a world.

Spirit Cranes flew everywhere, immortal music lingered, and the immortal palace stood a hundred zhang tall, adorned with carved dragons and phoenixes, its Aura magnificent—it was absolutely the grandest Lin Shiming had ever seen!

And warriors in golden armor stood guard on both sides of the immortal palace.

The next moment, an ordinary golden-armored warrior opened his eyes and glared at him.

Immediately, a soft shout escaped, and Lin Shiming’s mind felt as if it were being cut by a knife, instantly retreating from the vision.

Lin Shiming’s back was drenched in sweat, his face filled with horror. He thought it was an illusion, but he found that his mind had been truly injured.

”Those rows of golden-armored warriors, are they all Golden Core?” Lin Shiming muttered.

This token was like an identity token of a Legacy force like Tai Bai Sword Palace.

And if so, how powerful must Cloud Palace be, if even its city-guarding armored soldiers were Golden Core Cultivators?

Moreover, this was just the lingering charm of the token. If he were truly glared at by that golden-armored warrior, Lin Shiming felt he would be even more unable to bear it.

Lin Shiming tried hard to recall the ancient texts from Immortal Master Kuangfeng’s side, but still found no clue about Cloud Palace.

This token was taken from the Blue Eyed Demon King’s hand, so its origin must be extraordinary.

And the System prompt, surprisingly, did not sound.

Over the years, Lin Shiming had also discovered some patterns in the System prompts.

The prompts would only appear in the ethereal, involving some good or bad things related to him, sometimes on the same day, sometimes months in the future.

Lin Shiming felt more that these prompts were like Karma; he would only trigger them when he came into contact with them.

Currently, there was no prompt for this Cloud Palace token, which most likely meant it wouldn’t open anytime soon.

Lin Shiming pondered for a while, then carefully put away the token.

He had a premonition that this would be a great Opportunity in the future.

Lin Shiming finally looked at the Five-Colored Python, which was also incredibly greedy at this moment, as the three beasts were making quite a commotion while eating.

But seeing Lin Shiming put away all the Jiaolong Yao Beasts, and even the corpses of those ordinary great Yao, its five-colored eyes showed some distress.

However, since it wasn’t Lin Shiming’s Spirit Beast, it could only stand by, absorbing the Jiaolong Qi emanating from the Jiaolong Nest.

It only dared to use its tongue to roll it up; if it used too much force, Wang Jiao would roar!

Lin Shiming took out a wooden barrel and beckoned to the Five-Colored Python.

Seeing this, the latter nimbly stepped forward. Its five-colored appearance made it exceptionally beautiful, and Lin Shiming gently stroked the Five-Colored Python’s head.

Then he released the Bloodline Restoration spirit liquid and took out the corpse of a Blue Jiaolong that had just entered the Early Stage of the Fourth-Order:

”You are luckier than Wang Jiao. When Wang Jiao first underwent Bloodline Restoration, it didn’t have a Jiaolong corpse!” Lin Shiming chuckled softly. The Five-Colored Python seemed to understand, raising its five-colored triangular head and nodding gently, its forked tongue flicking out.

Although it didn’t know what Lin Shiming was doing, seeing Lin Shiming incorporate countless corpses of half-Jiaolong and snakes into the Body Refining liquid, its eyes were full of anticipation!

Lin Shiming also began to calm his mind, constantly forming spirit seals with his hands, and then sheets of soul-extracting nets appeared.

As the last soul-extracting net fell, the medicinal liquid in the barrel became extremely concentrated, emitting various five-colored lights.

Because the Five-Colored Python had Five Elements attributes, Lin Shiming had a wide choice of half-Jiaolong.

If he weren’t worried that the Five-Colored Python couldn’t bear it, Lin Shiming would have wanted to release five Fourth-Order Jiaolong this time.

The Five-Colored Python also let out a low growl and rushed into the medicinal barrel.

What followed was a soul-stirring beast roar.

One must know that Bloodline Restoration was not a comfortable process!
