214: rescue

Lin Shiming's mind was filled with extreme shock and chaos at this moment.

At this moment, Loose Immortal San Ye's eyes were sharp, and a profound Purple Mansion Aura inadvertently emerged.

It felt like ten great mountains pressing down.

It constantly struck his inner defenses.

Under that Aura, his breathing became rapid, and his face flushed slightly.

He could guarantee that if his answer contained even a hint of doubt or any other emotion, Loose Immortal San Ye would definitely attack him, even if not with Soul Searching, then with a Soul Questioning Talisman.

Even!

Even if his answer was perfectly flawless, he might still be detained by Loose Immortal San Ye.

Cultivators seeking the Dao of truth often resorted to all means, and a Purple Mansion Cultivator like Loose Immortal San Ye would certainly not care about the thoughts or hatred of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator like Lin Shiming.

Just as the tension was high, another figure appeared in the hall, with a voice preceding him:

"Ji (Speaker referring to himself) was looking for his Disciple, and didn't expect him to be here. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Sanye, for guiding my Disciple during your busy schedule!!!"

The words "guiding" were like a clap of thunder, deafening!

A purple robe, a benevolent face, like an unsheathed peerless immortal sword, sharp yet profound.

At this moment, Zi Xuan Sanren also became Lin Shiming's lifesaver.

Loose Immortal San Ye's expression changed, becoming frighteningly grim. He hadn't expected Zi Xuan Sanren to arrive so quickly.

"As for Fellow Daoist Sanye's question, Ji (Speaker referring to himself) can answer it. My Disciple possesses an innate hidden wood-attribute spiritual body, strong Comprehension Ability, and communicating with the White Cedar Spirit Tree to comprehend Spirit Light is naturally not a problem!" Zi Xuan Sanren spoke again.

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist has any other questions. Immortal Master Tianjian is also a person who enjoys resolving doubts!"

Zi Xuan Sanren spoke again, even bringing up Immortal Master Tianjian.

Loose Immortal San Ye's face immediately darkened by another three points, and he glanced at Lin Shiming again.

Lin Shiming also nodded repeatedly. At this moment, he wasn't acting at all. In his opinion, he himself possessed a hidden wood-attribute spiritual body, and only needed to reach Purple Mansion to naturally gain a Minor Divine Ability.

Of course, at this moment, he also speculated that the Root of Deduction might be a part of his innate spiritual body.

Otherwise, how could the Spirit Beast Sect have been unable to obtain the secret of the White Cedar Spirit Tree for so many years?

"Haha, Brother Ji, don't be offended. Sanye has only just seen such a Sword Dao Genius for the first time and truly developed the intention to take him as a Disciple. Since he is Brother Ji's beloved Disciple, Sanye apologizes again!" Loose Immortal San Ye repeatedly cupped his hands.

He then walked to a table in the hall, took out a teapot, and invited them with a smile.

"Brother Ji, Sanye happens to have a pot of fourth-grade ancient ming tea here. Why don't we enjoy it together!"

Zi Xuan Sanren also smiled and walked over to sit down, then took out an exquisite spiritual wood box:

"Excellent, Ji (Speaker referring to himself) also has a fourth-grade spirit tea, purple cloud tea!"

The two quickly began pouring tea for themselves, and Lin Shiming stood beside Zi Xuan Sanren.

Loose Immortal San Ye poured ancient ming tea for Zi Xuan Sanren.

As a Junior, Lin Shiming picked up the purple cloud tea and poured tea for the two Seniors.

Then he listened to them taste tea and chat.

Like old friends of many years, they talked freely about interesting events from a hundred years ago, their faces amiable, exchanging cups and toasting, a scene to be envied.

Lin Shiming was accustomed to this scene; Cultivators were the most unpredictable, and without conflicts of interest, they were all esteemed Seniors!

Of course, at this moment, smelling the wisps of tea fragrance beside them, he felt his True Qi begin to surge within his body.

If he were to drink a sip, his Cultivation might even increase a little.

The best tea he had drunk so far was only third-grade spirit tea, but the tea before him, just the subtlety of its tea mist, far surpassed anything before. The wisps of light purple mist made people yearn for it immensely.

It also made him sigh with emotion, truly worthy of being a fourth-grade spirit tea.

Its profundity was beyond words.

Of course, at this moment, he also thought of his Mingxin Tea Tree. With the wood spirit essence, his Mingxin Tea Tree could transform into a third-grade spiritual tree, and its effects and taste would surely be even better.

After tasting the tea, Zi Xuan Sanren also took Lin Shiming and bid farewell.

Zi Xuan Sanren didn't speak, so Lin Shiming naturally could only follow. The two walked slowly and leisurely until they reached Zi Xuan Sanren's Immortal Cave.

Then Zi Xuan Sanren sat in the main seat.

"How is your Sword Art Cultivation?"

"Replying to Revered Master, Sword Intent has been formed!" Lin Shiming waved his hand and pointed to the sky.

A ray of Sword Light condensed, its Sword Intent vast, pointing directly into the Void Realm.

Moreover, within the Sword Light, there were clearly Spiritual Plants, almost taking shape.

"Good, good! Good!"

"Not bad!" Zi Xuan Sanren said "good" three times in a row, then added "not bad" twice, with a broad smile.

"Shiming, when I first took you as a Disciple, it was partly because of your Family's Old Ancestor Zhengxing, and partly because your Seventh Grand Uncle pleaded earnestly! But it was that decision back then that led to your current brilliance, like a beautiful jade!"

"I wonder if you are willing to become my Personal Disciple and Cultivate within the Sect? Not only can you choose any Cultivation Technique, but I will also protect your Lin Family for fifty years! With your spiritual body and talent, reaching Golden Core in the near future is also possible!"

Lin Shiming was somewhat stunned this time. He hadn't expected Zi Xuan Sanren to want to take him as a Personal Disciple.

"Thank you for your kindness, Revered Master, but Shiming has been protected by the Family since childhood and has already taken on the role of Family Head. I also swore an oath before the Old Ancestor's spiritual tablet to make the Family flourish. This matter..." Lin Shiming finished his reply and bowed his head deeply.

"Your answer is truly exactly like Xian Zhi's!" Zi Xuan Sanren flicked his sleeve, somewhat displeased, and took another sip of spirit tea.

"Since the first option isn't feasible, I won't hide anything from you. You should be aware of Xian Zhi's matter, right? Retrieving the Spirit Communication Sword from the Ten Thousand Swords Graveyard will not only grant a portion of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid but also a fourth-grade spiritual fruit, the Longevity Fruit, which can extend life by fifty years!"

As soon as Zi Xuan Sanren finished speaking, Lin Shiming was instantly greatly shocked.

At the same time, his eyes glowed with light.

The shock was due to Zi Xuan Sanren's frankness.

At the same time, if he had hesitated about entering the Mysterious Grade Secret Realm before, he was now resolute.

They still had the Pill Formula for Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, but the Longevity Fruit could extend the life of his Seventh Grand Uncle, helping him aspire to Purple Mansion.

Of course, he also knew what the Spirit Communication Sword meant.

But with the System's prompt, he was confident in making the correct judgment.

"Thank you, Revered Master!" Lin Shiming bowed again.

"Whether you succeed or not, I will protect your Lin Family for fifty years!" Seeing that Lin Shiming had no intention of refusing, Zi Xuan Sanren also nodded.

"If there's nothing else, you may go. They must be getting impatient!"

"Yes, Revered Master!" Lin Shiming bowed again.

"Hmm, oh, and there's a little bit of spirit tea left here. You can take it with you too!"

Lin Shiming was instantly overjoyed. He hadn't expected Zi Xuan Sanren to give him the remaining small portion of fourth-grade purple cloud tea.

For a Purple Mansion Loose Cultivator, this tea might be less precious, but for Lin Shiming, these spirit teas could save him several years of arduous Cultivation.

Lin Shiming carefully placed the jade box containing the spirit tea with utmost seriousness, then exited the Immortal Cave!
