225: A sword for your son (please subscribe)

Before the Teleportation Array, the group of Lin Family Cultivators looked at each other in dismay.

Instead of an Immortal Cave, a Teleportation Array appeared, leading to an unknown destination.

For the Lin Family, this was certainly not good news.

Not to mention that activating the Teleportation Array required High-Grade Spirit Stones, and the distance was far beyond ordinary. The Lin Family Cultivators naturally dared not teleport casually to such an unknown place.

If there was no one on the other side of the Teleportation Array, it would be fine. But if there were people, it would undoubtedly be like sheep entering a tiger's den.

Of course, from the dust covering this place, suggesting it had been uninhabited for a long time, it could be inferred that there should be no one on the other side, or at least no Cultivators with High-Grade Spirit Stones.

But with unknown dangers present, the Lin Family Cultivators dared not try it casually.

"Seventh Grand Uncle, do we have Teleportation Talismans?" Lin Shiming asked. This Teleportation Array was chosen based on the sheepskin map's hint, yet no treasures had appeared so far, and the System's hints mostly concerned treasures.

There was a high possibility of treasures on the other side of the Teleportation Array. Of course, Lin Shiming wouldn't try it easily. He could find some extremely evil Daoists to test it out then.

Especially since Lin Houyong from Nanling Mountain had captured several Daoists, who were still imprisoned in the Nanling Mountain dungeon.

"The Family doesn't have any, but the method for refining Teleportation Talismans seems to exist. This type of spiritual talisman isn't particularly complex, similar to a Storage Pouch; a Second-tier Talisman Master can refine it!" Lin Xianzhi shook his head. His expression had returned to calm. In his heart, even if there were immense treasures on the other side of the Teleportation Array, he was unwilling to teleport.

And from Lin Shiming's words, it seemed he had some ideas about the other side of the Teleportation Array.

In his opinion, this was somewhat irrational.

Lin Shiming nodded after hearing this, then he led the somewhat disappointed Lin Family members out of the Immortal Cave.

There were no treasures inside the Immortal Cave, but there might be some rare spiritual items in this Poison Valley, which the Lin Family Cultivators could still search for.

Of course, the most important thing was still that Spiritual Vein. A Third-tier Spiritual Vein was still very valuable to the Lin Family.

After more than half an hour, Lin Xianzhi extracted the Spiritual Vein. This Spiritual Vein was a Third-tier Medium Grade, not too strong. The Highly Poisonous Horned Python's habitat here was also due to the swamp.

Lin Houyong, Lin Yuqing, and others from the Lin Family also searched the Poison Valley, each finding several Third-tier Spiritual Plants, and their expressions became somewhat joyful.

Of course, the biggest gains from this trip were Lin Shiming's Snake Egg, Dragon Blood Grass, and the corpse of the Highly Poisonous Horned Python.

When these were used to refine dragon blood pills, some Lin Family Cultivators who were not much older than sixty could still attempt Foundation Establishment.

It was a pity that the Highly Poisonous Horned Python's horn had not fully formed yet; otherwise, it would definitely be a material for refining a Magic Treasure.

With the Spiritual Vein extracted and the Highly Poisonous Horned Python gone, the miasma in the entire Poison Valley began to dissipate visibly, and of course, the Spiritual Qi also began to scatter.

In a few days, it would completely become an ordinary place, and no Yao Beasts would come again.

Before leaving, Lin Shiming pondered for a moment, took out the Demon Binding Pouch, and suddenly sucked the mud from the swamp.

Of course, the actual mud was absorbed into the Grotto-heaven World.

After the Snake Egg hatched, it might also need this environment. Lin Shiming simply moved it now, also to prevent the reappearance of some venomous insects here.

After tidying up, the Lin Family members directly returned by spirit boat... Lingnan County, Nanling Mountain.

Lin Shiming headed towards the Family's outpost on Nanling Mountain.

The former Seven Fiends Stronghold had now been developed by the Lin Family into large tracts of spiritual fields, and two Spirit Herb Gardens had also been established.

Stationed here was Lin Yutie, formerly the Fourth Elder of the Lin Family, and now the head of the Artifact Refining Hall.

"Fourth Grandpa!" Lin Shiming found Lin Yutie in a courtyard.

At this time, Lin Yutie was sitting on a chair, holding a Jade Slip, and in front of him was a wooden sword.

He, too, now appeared old, with graying hair, a face full of wrinkles, and a tired expression.

Only his eyes meticulously studied, occasionally carving the wooden sword with a carving knife.

At this moment, Lin Shiming inexplicably felt a pang of sadness. Wasn't this scene similar to the situation when Lin Yuqi finished refining the Foundation Establishment Pill?

He had learned from Lin Yuxuan that Lin Yutie had aged particularly noticeably due to long-term refining of Third-tier Magical Artifacts, but he hadn't expected it to be this severe.

This Elder, who had dedicated his life to the Lin Family, was still so diligent and responsible, researching Artifact Refining insights for the Family, even when the Family intentionally sent him to Nanling Mountain to rest for a while.

"The Family Head has arrived, why didn't you send a sound transmission? This old man would have gone to greet you!" Lin Yutie put down the Jade Slip and wooden sword and slowly rose.

"Fourth Grandpa, you humble Shiming. Even if Shiming were a Nascent Soul, he would still be your grandson, so there's no reason for you to greet him!" Lin Shiming stepped forward to support him, feeling Lin Yutie's weakness.

Lin Shiming immediately took out a dragon blood pill.

He had a total of four dragon blood pills, giving one to Lin Houshou and one to Lin Houyong, leaving two remaining.

The dragon blood pill was not a longevity Medicinal Pill, but Lin Yutie was only one hundred and seven years old, not having reached the one hundred and twenty year lifespan of a Qi Refining Cultivator, so taking the dragon blood pill was sufficient to extend his life.

However, Lin Yutie did not take the Medicinal Pill and shook his head.

"Fourth Grandpa, this is just a Medicinal Pill that will help you better research Artifact Refining. Shiming bought it from within the Spirit Beast Sect's territory."

Lin Yutie still shook his head, not taking it.

Then he looked at Lin Shiming, smiling faintly with narrowed eyes.

"Family Head, do you know what this old man is looking at?"

Lin Shiming shook his head.

"I'm looking at the future Purple Mansion Loose Cultivator, at the future Purple Mansion Family!"

Lin Yutie spoke slowly, his eyes full of yearning.

"How powerful the Lin Family will be then!"

"Fourth Grandpa, that's for sure!" Lin Shiming forcefully placed the Medicinal Pill in Lin Yutie's hand.

Seeing this, Lin Yutie no longer refused. After taking it, he smiled and placed the Medicinal Pill bottle on the table. Then he patted the Storage Pouch at his waist and took out a sword.

The sword was three feet long, and under the sunlight, its blade gleamed sharply. The spiritual patterns on it were even more lifelike and incredibly beautiful.

Lin Yutie's finger flicked the sword, producing a clear, sharp sword hum, extremely melodious.

Spiritual might spread, clearly a Third-tier Medium Grade sword.

This shocked Lin Shiming immensely. One must know that Lin Yutie was merely a Qi Refining Cultivator. Even with the Detailed Explanation of Array Instruments assisting him, refining a Third-tier Low Grade Magical Artifact should have been his limit.

"Fourth Grandpa, did you refine this sword? You truly are the Lin Family's number one Artifact Refiner!"

"Do you like it? This sword is named Ze Ying!" Lin Yutie said slowly.

"But this sword isn't for you, it's for your son!"

"Fourth Grandpa is useless; he can only refine Third-tier Medium Grade Magical Artifacts. Otherwise, I would definitely forge a Prodigy's Sword for our Lin Family's Prodigy!" Lin Yutie's eyes held some regret, then he couldn't help but caress the Ze Ying Sword, his eyes full of doting affection.
