145: Candidate finalized

“Have you met Lin Shiqi?” Lin Shiming asked, even though he had already figured most of it out in his heart.

“We’ve chatted a few times, and we got along very well!”

“Alright, but I need to ask my third sister about this!” Lin Shiming finally replied.

If the Lei Family were to marry into the Lin Family, it would not only bring a lightning-element Cultivation Technique but also a Genius Cultivator with a unique Spiritual Root. Most importantly, it would perfectly solve Lei Xuan’s own problems.

Without Lei Xuan, they couldn’t find the Yellow Grade Secret Realm, and if Lei Xuan led the way, they would have to make an oath of the heavenly dao not to kill him.

This would inevitably leave a hidden danger.

Of course, as the Family Head of the Lin Family, he also had to face more and be extra careful about the Zhang Family.

But in fact, for the Lin Family, from the moment of the Yellow Grade Secret Realm, it was already destined to be even more cautious.

“Senior, please unseal me, I will engrave the secret method now!” Lei Xuan was overjoyed and quickly spoke.

“There’s no rush for this. My third sister hasn’t agreed yet!”

“Qier has already agreed!” Lin Shiming saw Lei Xuan’s expression, and a strange feeling appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, Lin Shiqi’s image appeared in his mind. He didn’t expect that his third sister’s heart had been captured in just half a month.

Sure enough, Lin Shiqi, who was outside the door, knocked, as if she had been waiting nearby.

“Family Head!” Lin Shiqi greeted Lin Shiming.

At this moment, Lin Shiqi was no longer as willful as she had been more than ten years ago; instead, she had her hair tied up.

“My affection for Xuanlang is real.”

“Third Sister, are you sure you understand him?”

Lin Shiqi nodded.

“Alright, so be it!” Seeing this, Lin Shiming shook his head and looked at Lei Xuan.

“You are a smart person; you should know what to do and what not to do!”

Lin Shiming unsealed Lei Xuan, allowing the latter to engrave the location of the Secret Realm and the map within the Secret Realm, and at the same time, the lightning-element Cultivation Technique.

For him, the easiest to judge was also the lightning-element Cultivation Technique.

From the current perspective, regardless of whether Lei Xuan deceived Lin Shiqi, if there were any errors in the Cultivation Technique and map, his System notifications should appear.

At the same time, and more importantly, since Lei Xuan was marrying into the Family, he would remove the forbidden Formation in his mind and replace it with the Lin Family’s family jade book and forbidden Formation.

At the same time, he would make an oath of the heavenly dao, dedicating his heart to the Lin Family.

Soon, Lei Xuan handed Lin Shiming two Jade Slips. One of them was engraved with the Cultivation Technique of the Purple Heavens Divine Lightning Art, and the other Jade Slip was engraved with the location of the Secret Realm and the map within the Yellow Grade Secret Realm.

The Purple Heavens Divine Lightning Art is a Mystic-Grade Low-Rank Technique, and it is also paired with a secret method, which is quite powerful and can be Cultivated up to the Purple Mansion Late Stage.

Lin Shiming accepted the Jade Slips and then bid farewell.

Leaving Lin Shiqi and Lei Xuan in the room.

Lin Shiming did not immediately look for Lin Yuqing but flew towards the Green Lotus Pond.

In the pavilion of the Green Lotus Pond, he released his Divine Sense, directly pointing to the side room next to the discussion hall.

After observing Lei Xuan for half an hour, and after countless confirmations that there was no hint of acting or pretense in Lei Xuan’s eyes, he gradually relaxed.

Then, he sent a sound transmission to Lin Yuqing, asking him to come to the Green Lotus Pond.

At this moment, Lin Shilei had also become another exception in the Lin Family. He, at the Qi Refining Stage, lived in an Immortal Cave newly opened next to the Green Lotus Pond.

One must know that the previous exception was Lin Shiming himself.

Lin Shiming and Lin Yuqing found Lin Shilei. The latter was noticeably more robust than two years ago, having become a strong young man.

“Family Head, Grand Uncle!” Lin Shilei also quickly came out to greet them.

“Shilei, try Cultivating this Cultivation Technique!” Lin Shiming directly took out the Jade Slip.

Lin Shilei was only at the Qi Refining Stage Second Level, so changing Cultivation Techniques was simpler. With Lin Shiming, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, present, he could help Lin Shilei disperse his Qi in a short time.

Then, he would re-gather Spiritual Qi.

The previous lightning-element Cultivation Technique was only Yellow Rank High Grade and could only be Cultivated up to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, so he almost didn’t think much and directly began to disperse his Qi and re-Cultivate.

A day passed, and Lin Shilei successfully dispersed his Qi and re-Cultivated.

And he independently completed a small heavenly cycle and a large heavenly cycle. After repeatedly confirming that there were no prompts, Lin Shiming walked out of Lin Shilei’s Immortal Cave.

Lin Yuqing also walked out with a smile on his face.

“Thank you, Family Head!”

“Grand Uncle, what are you saying? Not only are you a Family Elder, but Shilei is also a true Genius!” Lin Shiming replied with a smile.

“But what about Lei Xuan…?” Lin Yuqing also knew about Lei Xuan marrying into the Family at this time.

“No problem, just as Lei Xuan had no other choice, we also had no other choice, and I observe that he is not insincere towards my third sister!” Lin Shiming replied. Then, seeing that Lin Yuqing still wanted to say something, he spoke again:

“Even if Lei Xuan really has ill intentions, does Grand Uncle still think that Shiming cannot suppress Lei Xuan? When Shilei grows up, he can also suppress Lei Xuan!”

Lin Shiming’s words were naturally not without basis. He currently had the Body Refining Cultivation Technique, Mountain Ape Body Refining Art, and the Spirit Refining secret method, Spirit Refining Art.

Next, he only needed to settle for ten years, and he would make rapid progress.

In the face of absolute strength, he was confident that he had nothing to worry about.

Lin Yuqing left, and Lin Shiming also reported the news to Lin Xianzhi.

The latter also nodded, apparently very satisfied with this decision.

This way, it not only solved the problem of how to get Lei Xuan into the Lin Family’s family jade book and preserve the Secret Realm’s secret, but also brought a Genius to the Family.

As Lin Shiming’s Seventh Grand Uncle, Lin Xianzhi was even more eager to see what kind of talent Lei Xuan and Lin Shiqi’s descendants would have.

As for the enemy Zhang Family, once they had enough strength, the Lin Family might even be able to help Lei Xuan resolve his inner knot.

With the affirmation of his Seventh Grand Uncle, Lin Shiming no longer had any doubts in his heart.

However, due to Lei Xuan’s identity, their wedding was not widely publicized; instead, a small celebration was held by the various Elders.

Lei Xuan truly married into the Lin Family from the Lei Family.

From then on, he was a member of the Lin Family, bound by both the family jade book and the oath of the heavenly dao.

On the third day after the celebration, the candidates for the Lin Family to enter the Secret Realm were finally decided.

This time, those entering the Yellow Grade Secret Realm included Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level Cultivators: Lin Yuqing, the Head of the Law Enforcement Hall; Lin Houyong, the Head of the Demon Hunting Hall; Lin Houshou, the Head of the Formation Hall; Lin Yuzheng, the Head of the Business Hall; Lin Houwei, who ranked thirteenth in the Hou Generation; and Lin Houxuan, who ranked fifteenth in the Hou Generation.

Almost all Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level Elders, except for Lin Yutie, the Head of the Artifact Refining Hall, applied to enter the Yellow Grade Secret Realm.

Qi Refining Stage Eighth Level Cultivators included Lin Shitao, Lin Houyuan, and Lin Shiyi. Qi Refining Stage Seventh Level Cultivators included Lin Shihua and others.

There were a total of thirteen people.

This time, the Lin Family sent almost all high-ranking members. One reason was for secrecy, and the second was that this was the first time the Yellow Grade Secret Realm had been opened in thirty years, so they were worried that the Yao Beasts inside might be powerful, and if the Family’s Cultivators were not strong enough, they might perish in the Secret Realm.

Before their departure, the Lin Family also announced to the outside world that an Elder competition would be held.

The mountain-protecting Formation was activated, and even the Cultivators recalled from various places were not allowed to leave.
