224: Mysterious teleportation array
Lin Shiming's interest grew significantly; it was his first time seeing such a spiritual egg.
Beside him, Lin Xianzhi's Divine Sense had also discovered the Snake Egg's existence, and his face was also filled with joy.
However, he didn't make a move. In his opinion, whether it was for merit or potential, it was better to give these things to Lin Shiming.
"Shiming, go retrieve all those things!" Lin Xianzhi said.
Lin Shiming didn't hesitate, opened his Spirit Light, and then transformed into a streak of light, heading towards the depths of the swamp. He quickly reached the Immortal Cave and saw the gigantic egg.
The gigantic egg still emitted resistant Divine Sense fluctuations, but Lin Shiming wouldn't indulge it now.
With a wave of his hand, he placed the Snake Egg into his Grotto-heaven World.
He also carefully transplanted each Dragon Blood Grass. Half of them were placed into a jade box and properly preserved, while the other half was planted in the Grotto-heaven World with some spirit soil. The Snake Egg was also placed next to the Dragon Blood Grass.
Previously, without Dragon Qi, planting Dragon Blood Grass was just a fantasy. But this Snake Egg, clearly undergoing an atavistic awakening with partial Dragon Bloodline, should allow for the successful planting of Dragon Blood Grass.
While Lin Shiming was planting the grass, the Red-haired Demon Monkey hopped over, even trying to poke the Snake Egg with its arm.
After Lin Shiming glared at him and sternly warned him, he scratched his head and scurried to the side.
After arranging the Spirit Egg, Lin Shiming set up a Spirit Nurturing Formation.
This Spirit Nurturing Formation was more complex than the one Lin Shiming used for the Golden Winged Mantis. He found it in the Spirit Beast Sect's "Introduction to Beast Taming Explained in Detail." It could also accelerate the Spirit Egg's incubation, but it required a considerable amount of third-grade spirit water.
While pouring in the spirit water, Lin Shiming also took out three High-Grade Spirit Stones and placed them nearby.
Afterward, Lin Shiming forcefully condensed a Blood Contract.
Since this Snake Egg already possessed some consciousness, Lin Shiming wouldn't wait until it hatched to set up a Spirit Contract.
If the snake became powerful by then, it would be a loss.
The Spirit Contract also adopted a more domineering version from the Spirit Beast Sect's "Beast Taming Explained in Detail." However, to his surprise, the Snake Egg began to emit Spirit Light, directly forcing out his essence blood, and the Spirit Contract failed.
Lin Shiming immediately felt a headache. He wasn't entirely unprepared for this phenomenon. The Spirit Beast Sect's "Beast Taming Explained in Detail" also recorded that some powerful Spirit Beasts naturally possessed protective Spirit Formations, much like a Family's spiritual book.
If a Blood Contract was to be established, it couldn't be a one-sided slave contract.
It should be known that both the Golden Winged Mantis and the Red-haired Demon Monkey were bound by slave contracts. The biggest advantage of a slave contract was that Lin Shiming could control the Spirit Beast to die for him, and the Spirit Beast couldn't resist.
If the Cultivator died, the Spirit Beast would also suffer a backlash.
Conversely, if the Spirit Beast died, the Cultivator would be unharmed.
Lu Changming, in the past, used a slave contract to continuously control Spirit Beasts to block Old Devil Chen.
Lin Shiming shook his head, a wry smile on his face, and continued to condense another Spirit Contract. This Spirit Contract had much less binding force; if the Spirit Beast resisted strongly, disregarding severe injuries, it could break free from the Spirit Contract.
Of course, this Spirit Contract could also prevent the Spirit Beast from harboring malicious intent towards the Cultivator.
And for Lin Shiming, with the Grotto-heaven World, he wasn't afraid of the Spirit Beast breaking free from the Spirit Contract and escaping the Grotto-heaven World.
However, in the future, he would still need to find a more powerful Spirit Contract to solidify the agreement.
This Spirit Contract, however, progressed relatively smoothly.
Although the Spirit Egg still resisted, the power of this Spirit Contract worked slowly. The Snake Egg, after all, only had subconscious thoughts and severely lacked the ability to think, so the Spirit Contract quickly found a loophole.
With a flash of Spirit Light, Lin Shiming and the Snake Egg gained a faint spiritual connection.
What made him smile wryly was that the Snake Egg immediately sent a Divine Sense fluctuation, actually asking him to put in more stones, specifically High-Grade Spirit Stones.
This Divine Sense fluctuation was significantly stronger than that of the Golden Winged Mantis and the Red-haired Demon Monkey.
This also made him somewhat happy. This Snake Egg might already be a half-Dragon, starting at a much higher point than its parents, the Horned Python.
As a Spirit Egg, to be able to absorb the Spiritual Qi of High-Grade Spirit Stones was something he had never heard of before.
As soon as the High-Grade Spirit Stones were placed, the Spirit Egg again sent out Divine Sense fluctuations urging him to leave, which made Lin Shiming's face darken.
However, after a second thought, Lin Shiming made no other moves, exited the Grotto-heaven World, and returned to the snake cave beneath the swamp.
What excited him was that there was a third-grade Medium Grade Spiritual Vein here in the snake cave.
He could inform his Seventh Grand Uncle then and have the Spiritual Vein moved.
Lin Shiming looked around again, and after confirming there were no omissions, he flew out of the swamp and landed in front of the other members of the Lin Family.
"Seventh Grand Uncle, I obtained a Snake Egg. This Snake Egg is useful to me, so I'll exchange it with Family contribution points!" Lin Shiming did not take out the Dragon Blood Grass and the Snake Egg. These two were of great importance; if others knew he had such an egg, even a Purple Mansion Cultivator might make a move.
After all, in the egg state, even with a Spirit Contract, a new Spirit Contract could be established again.
"No problem!" Lin Xianzhi replied first.
In this operation, Lin Shiming had contributed the most, whether it was the map or the effort, so there was naturally no problem, especially since Lin Shiming was also exchanging it with contribution points.
Of course, with Lin Shiming's current Family contribution points, he already had the most.
The Lin Family members were more concerned about the Cultivator's Immortal Cave.
That was what the Lin Family most anticipated from this trip.
"Shiming, let's go inspect the Immortal Cave!" Lin Xianzhi spoke again.
Lin Shiming also nodded, and then everyone headed towards the Immortal Cave.
The Immortal Cave's original Formation was clearly very ancient. Lin Shiyun quickly found the weak point of the Formation, and Lin Shiming broke the Formation with a single sword strike.
A three-meter-high stone cave was revealed. The stone cave looked extremely ancient, and some simple murals carved on the walls were also something they had never seen before.
Lin Shiming took out the Red-haired Demon Monkey, letting him scout ahead, and then the group entered the depths of the Immortal Cave.
"Is this a hall?" After a while, Lin Shiming and the others reached the deepest part, but there was no imagined Legacy, nor any treasures.
Instead, it was a hall built from unknown Materials.
The hall was now covered with a thick layer of dust.
Lin Shiming cast a Clear Wind spell, blowing away the dust.
"This is a Teleportation Array!" Lin Xianzhi suddenly exclaimed.
At his exclamation, all the Lin Family members looked at Lin Xianzhi.
The Lin Family Cultivators had all heard of the Teleportation Array, but had never seen one. It should be known that even Zhao Country did not have a Teleportation Array. Firstly, the Void Gazer crystal, a material for the Teleportation Array, could no longer be found. Secondly, the method for arranging the Teleportation Array had also been lost.
Throughout the entire Cultivation World, only the method for arranging Teleportation Talismans was circulated, proving the past existence of Teleportation Arrays.
"Seventh Grand Uncle, there are a few grooves here, are they for placing Spirit Stones?" Lin Shiming walked to the stone platform on one side and asked.
Lin Xianzhi nodded, then he took out a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone and placed it into a groove. A burst of Spirit Light flowed, but the next moment, the Mid-Grade Spirit Stone fell out and had no effect.
Then Lin Xianzhi took out another High-Grade Spirit Stone, and the groove emitted a blue light, causing the entire hall to gradually acquire a special glow.
However, because there were still three or four grooves without Spirit Stones, the teleportation did not activate.
"It probably needs three to five High-Grade Spirit Stones to activate!" Lin Xianzhi said.
