306: Huishan, Shuangmu Island Crisis (2-in-1 Thank You Book Friends 3 Rewards)

Inside the main hall, all the Cultivators were extremely shocked.

For a moment, they were all stunned, even Zhang Haogang and Zhang Haoling, the two members of the Zhang Family.

They had never expected that Free Spirit Yunling would make such a grand decision.

A Low Grade Third-Order Magical Artifact costs at least 10,000 Spirit Stones, a Medium Grade Third-Order one at least 70,000 to 80,000, and a High Grade Third-Order one at least 300,000 to 400,000 Spirit Stones. With just this one sentence, the entire Zhang Family was putting out nearly 1,000,000 Spirit Stones.

Because the Zhang Family was an Artifact Refining Family, they only needed to expend spiritual materials, and the Spirit Stones spent would not exceed 200,000.

But this gesture was already not much worse than the Qingxuan Sect.

Even Lin Shiming was a bit puzzled, unclear about the meaning behind Free Spirit Yunling's actions.

"Alright, next, come to me one by one, and I will tailor Magical Artifacts for you!"

Free Spirit Yunling's next words made Lin Shiming instantly understand.

It seemed that Free Spirit Yunling was simply uneasy about the presence of Cultivators with hidden cultivation here, and even suspected there were Purple Mansion Cultivators, intending to expose them.

This move also made him admire him.

This method, which no one could refuse, completely cut off any retreat for those who might be hiding their identities or cultivation.

However, Lin Shiming was full of confidence. One must know that the Three Purities Qi Concealment Art, even Purple Mansion Cultivators couldn't detect it, as it placed a Seal within the body.

He was also extremely confident!

The absence of a System prompt was the best confirmation.

This was not the first time Lin Shiming had been investigated; even a Clone of Immortal Master Divine Machine had investigated him before.

His spirit platform could be hidden within the Grotto-heaven World, and his Sea of Consciousness was enveloped by the family jade book.

Only his Physique, which was far stronger than a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator, could not be hidden.

But Free Spirit Yunling couldn't say anything about the strength or secrets of his Physique.

His secret as a Body Cultivator could be found out by anyone who bothered to investigate.

As expected, everyone then approached Free Spirit Yunling one by one, first performing the basic Spells of their Cultivation Technique, and then allowing him to slightly sense the true essence within their bodies.

After the inspection, Free Spirit Yunling breathed a sigh of relief, and so did the other Cultivators.

Free Spirit Yunling's actions naturally puzzled them, and they even began to wonder if they had previously misunderstood Free Spirit Yunling.

This was the magnanimity of a Human Race Artifact Refiner.

Lin Shiming also custom-ordered a Medium Grade Third-Order spiritual boot Magical Artifact. The Lin Family's Artifact Refining skills were not as good as the Zhang Family's.

However, he also knew that any customization was just a facade. If he truly believed it, he would be a fool.

At that time, it would just be a Magical Artifact casually taken out, or one refined by other Artifact Refiners of the Zhang Family.

There was no need to think too much about any customization.

But at least, they gained Magical Artifacts, and everyone was beaming with joy.

"Alright, the overall situation of Hongfeng City is settled. The mountain protection Formation has been arranged. Your various Families can arrange for Cultivators to come and reclaim the Spiritual Veins. For the first ten years, I will remain stationed here!"

Free Spirit Yunling spoke again.

This action also made the other Families even more respectful.

Previously, they were worried that if Red Lion Ridge was breached by Yao Beasts, they would not get the spiritual mine and many Family Cultivators would be trapped.

But if Free Spirit Yunling stayed here, there would naturally be no worries.

Lin Shiming was also a little happy beside him. Although he understood that Free Spirit Yunling was merely avoiding the Qingxuan Sect and also to better trade with the Azure Cloud Fox Clan.

But at least, with him there, Lin Shiyi's safety would be greatly guaranteed.

However, at the same time, the speed of the Zhang Family's growth would probably exceed expectations.

The development of Shuangmu Island by the Lin Family must be accelerated.

After staying in Hongfeng City for a while longer, Lin Shiyi remained alone, while Lin Shiming, taking Lin Houyuan, Lin Zekong, and Lin Zecheng, left Hongfeng City.

Before leaving, Lin Shiming also gave Lin Shiyi a lot of mysterious black fish meat and Dragon Blood Grass, hoping that Lin Shiyi could break through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage as soon as possible.

In addition, he also gave a Spirit Control Seal to Lin Shiyi, which would make it more convenient to control some Third-Order Yao Beasts here.

On the other hand, due to the need to avoid suspicion, he didn't find an opportunity during this trip.

The war treasure ship set off again from Hongfeng City. This time, Zhang Haoling was leading the team and was exceptionally cautious. Before each spiritual platform, there were Zhang Family Cultivators guarding it.

The main spiritual platforms were all guarded by Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Zhang Family, while Cultivators from other Families were in the rooms of the treasure ship and were not allowed to come out.

Because there was no Purple Mansion Cultivator to protect them, Zhang Haoling did not dare to charge recklessly. During the journey, it was much slower than when they came, taking a full two days to exit the Qingyun Mountain Range.

During this period, they encountered many Yao Beast attacks.

As the city walls of Qingyun Market appeared before everyone, their nerves slowly relaxed. Lin Shiming, taking Lin Zekong and Lin Zelu, disembarked from the spirit boat and headed straight for Fangmu Mountain.

With Lin Yuzheng and Lin Houyuan handling matters at Qingyun Market, Lin Shiming had no need to worry.

On the High Grade Third-Order spirit boat, Lin Shiming still stood at the very front of the spirit boat, with the spiritual shield open, allowing the strong winds to blow in. At terrifying speeds, countless wind blades struck his face.

His streaked hair fluttered in the air.

The Spirit Light of the Mountain Ape Body Refining Art also circulated automatically, making his figure stand firm and unmoving, as if indestructible.

Behind him, Lin Zelu and Lin Zekong looked on with reverence. The two did not speak, but each found a spirit boat and also attempted to refine their bodies by drawing in the strong winds.

At first, they were naturally cut quite badly by the wind blades. The two were not Body Cultivators and suffered a great loss.

But they quickly learned to control the Spiritual Qi within their bodies, condensing a spiritual shield to resist.

This also allowed them to train the condensation degree of their spiritual power and the casting of their magical shields. On the other hand, it also honed their Spiritual Qi reserves.

Lin Shiming's Divine Sense saw what was happening behind him, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly upwards.

He did not force them, but like Lin Xianzhi, he silently acted. Sometimes, example is better than precept.

Those who understood would naturally understand, and those who didn't, didn't need to!

Only such Cultivators could become the true elites and pillars of the Family!

After another two days of flying, Lin Zekong and Lin Zelu were both a bit low on Spiritual Qi.

Their eyes were also full of fatigue, but the stubbornness in their gaze was incredibly persistent.

This made Lin Shiming nod in praise.

He then took out two High Grade Second-Order Magical Artifacts from his Storage Pouch and handed them to Lin Zekong and Lin Zelu.

"Well done!"

The two were instantly overjoyed. High Grade Magical Artifacts were definitely life-saving Spiritual Artifacts for them, who were at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Although they were supported by the Family, they did not possess cultivation skills to earn Spirit Stones, relying solely on the Family's salary (stipend) and support.

At this moment, the outline of Fangmu Mountain in the distance gradually appeared before the three of them.

The perennial mist became a beautiful white silhouette, making the entire peak appear incredibly mysterious.

However, the next moment, Lin Shiming felt that something was wrong.

The entire Formation of Fangmu Mountain was fully activated; this was an emergency combat alert!

He couldn't help but accelerate the spirit boat. Under his full exertion, the High Grade spirit boat arrived in front of them in a few breaths.

As the spirit boat approached, a Divine Sense also covered it.

After a short while, Lin Houyong walked out from the spiritual Formation.

"Fifth Uncle!"

"Shiming, you're finally back!" Lin Houyong's face showed some anxiety.

Seeing Lin Houyong so flustered, Lin Shiming was also a little worried and quickly asked:

"Fifth Uncle, is there a problem with Shuangmu Island?"

"Yes, Shuangmu Island is surrounded! A Purple Mansion Great Demon has appeared, and Seventh Grand Uncle is currently relying on the High Grade Fourth-Order Formation, desperately resisting!"

"The situation is very grim. Houyuan, and your father, Houyuan, have already rushed to Shuangmu Island!"

"They took away many Family elites!"

Lin Shiming had never expected to hear this news as soon as he returned home.

"Aren't Seventh Grand Uncle and the others retreating?"

Lin Shiming spoke again.

But as soon as he spoke, he had the answer in his heart: Seventh Grand Uncle would absolutely not retreat unless it was absolutely necessary.

His Seventh Grand Uncle was indeed not a reckless person, as could be seen from his thirty years of forbearance at Green Lotus Pond.

But his Seventh Grand Uncle was also someone who, if there was hope, would risk his life.

The Teleportation Array of Shuangmu Island cannot be cut off. If it is cut off, it means the Lin Family will have no chance of development at all, whether it is the difficulty of finding a Fourth-Order Spirit Vein, or the Breakthrough phenomenon that cannot hide from the Qingxuan Sect and the Zhang Family.

They cannot abandon the Teleportation Array.

Otherwise, they can only be completely submerged by a certain torrent in the quagmire of the Qingxuan Sect, silently!

In the future, only Golden Core Families can thrive, and Purple Mansion Families will have a glimmer of hope.

And Foundation Establishment Families, at that time, would definitely be cannon fodder!

"Fifth Uncle, I'll act now!" Lin Shiming nodded.

"Ze Lu, Ze Kong?" Lin Shiming then looked at Lin Zelu and Lin Zekong.

Their faces were full of fatigue, but both of them nodded.

"Seventh Uncle, we're fine, we can fight!"

"What a good phrase, 'can fight'!" Lin Shiming also nodded, unable to help but voice his approval.

The spirit boat hadn't even landed on Fangmu Mountain before it had to set off for Shiling Cave again.

And from within the spiritual Formation, Lin Shitao flew out. She was still wearing a green dress, and beneath her full black hair was deep fatigue.

Her eyes even showed traces of bloodshot.

She held a Storage Pouch in her hand!

"Shitao, have you been frantically using the Detailed Explanation of Array Instruments these past few days?" Lin Shiming asked in disbelief.

The side effects of the Detailed Explanation of Array Instruments had long spread, and Lin Shitao's current state was so similar to that of Elder Lin Yuqi before.

This was clearly the consequence of using the Detailed Explanation of Array Instruments to refine Medicinal Pills with high intensity!

"Seventh Brother, this Storage Pouch contains what you need for this trip!" Lin Shitao forced a smile, but it was somewhat pale and weak.

Lin Shiming's Divine Sense entered the Grotto-heaven World, ordering the Mingxin Tea Tree to pluck a large piece of Third-Order Mingxin Tea, and under the latter's resentful gaze, handed it to Lin Shitao.

"Shitao, brew and drink these spirit tea leaves. Make sure to keep your body in good condition. Also, in this Storage Pouch, there is a flame crystal, five High-Grade Spirit Stones, and a drop of hundred-year spiritual milk!"

"I hope you can break through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage as soon as possible, and before that, you are not allowed to refine any Spirit Pills!" Lin Shiming did not take Lin Shitao's Storage Pouch, feeling a pang of heartache.

"I promise you, Seventh Brother!"

"But Seventh Brother, you also promise me, come back alive!" Lin Shitao said, her voice growing softer towards the end.

She shouldn't have said this, and even more so, she shouldn't have said it in front of Lin Houyong, Lin Zelu, and Lin Zekong.

But she knew that some words, if not said, might never be said.

A Fourth-Order Purple Mansion Great Demon and a Foundation Establishment Cultivator were completely different concepts!

In fact, they had also considered abandoning Shuangmu Island.

In their opinion, Lin Xianzhi's decision was absolutely irrational.

"Don't worry, Shitao, let me show you all the treasure of our Lin Family!" Seeing that everyone was worried, Lin Shiming suddenly released the war treasure ship from the Grotto-heaven World.

As soon as the Fourth-Order treasure ship appeared, Lin Shitao and Lin Houyong were both extremely shocked.

Lin Zekong and Lin Zelu, on the other hand, opened their mouths wide. They suddenly remembered that they had once asked Lin Shiming.

How great it would be if the Lin Family had a war treasure ship.

Lin Shiming's expression at that time made them curious, and now it seemed!

It was clear that their Lin Family truly did!

"Fifth Uncle, Shitao, you two guard Fangmu Mountain. Shiyi is in Qingyun Market and won't be back for a while. I'm going to Shuangmu Island!"

Lin Shiming steered the Fourth-Order treasure boat and accepted Lin Shitao's Storage Pouch.

And Lin Houyong also handed over a Storage Pouch.

Inside this Storage Pouch were the Third-Order spiritual talismans and Magical Artifacts the Family had purchased these days.

They would definitely be useful when resisting the Yao Beasts.

Lin Shiming also nodded and put it away.

The Fourth-Order treasure boat immediately emitted light and headed towards Shiling Cave.

The treasure boat was not propelled at its fastest speed, as such a Spirit Light would be too conspicuous.

Lin Shiming did not return to the front of the treasure boat but instead took out Lin Shitao's Storage Pouch.

As the Storage Pouch opened, several pill bottles appeared before his eyes.

The pill bottles, brought closer, contained the Three-Essence Spirit Refining Pill, refined from the three yuan forging spirit flower.

The effect of this Spirit Pill was to enhance a Cultivator's Divine Sense power.

Coupled with the Spirit Splitting Art and these Medicinal Pills, he was confident that he could raise his Divine Sense to the level of Peak Foundation Establishment.

Lin Shiming then released the Wood Demon, and Red Hair and Golden Wings were also summoned by him: one Third-Order Wood Demon, and two Late Third-Order Yao Beasts.

This gave Lin Zelu an unparalleled shock.

He only knew that this Seventh Uncle in front of him was very strong, but his understanding was that Lin Shiming's limit was the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.

But judging by this extent, coupled with the Spirit Beasts, his strength was unimaginable.

Lin Zekong, on the other hand, was somewhat calm. Lin Shiming had fought against a Purple Mansion Great Demon before, and that was true terrifying strength.

Moreover, he also knew that Lin Shiming was not merely a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator, but a dual Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, both Qi Refining and Body Refining.

The speed of the Fourth-Order war treasure ship was simply too fast.

Xing County and Lingnan County, which originally took three to four days of flight, were reached in just half a day.

The war treasure ship did not stop at Shiling Cave, but spent another half day flying to the mountain range where the Teleportation Array was located.

Looking at the lush valley and the rivers and mountains on both banks, Lin Zekong and Lin Zelu were a little confused, but they also knew the importance of the situation and did not speak, instead following Lin Shiming all the way into the Teleportation Array mountain cave.

At this moment, at the entrance of the mountain cave, Lin Houxuan was guarding the Teleportation Array.

Seeing Lin Shiming arrive, Lin Houxuan also stood up. His cultivation and combat strength were the lowest, so he was responsible for protecting the Teleportation Array here.

"Fifteenth Uncle, you continue to guard the entrance!" Lin Shiming did not explain much.

He directly activated the Teleportation Array, and as bursts of Spirit Light lit up.

The High-Grade Spirit Stones were all pushed into the spiritual troughs, and Lin Shiming also took out two Teleportation Talismans, one for Lin Zelu and one for Lin Zekong.

At this moment, the two were even more shocked. They suddenly felt that the Family seemed different from what they had imagined.

And the secrets were far more numerous than they had imagined.

How could the current head of the Alchemy Hall break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, and how could he be guarding here?

And what was this Formation here?

Lin Zelu was fine; he was a Formation Master. Lin Zekong, on the other hand, finally understood why Lin Zecheng was so mysterious!

With the Teleportation Talismans in hand, as the Spirit Light surged violently, the three of them involuntarily closed their eyes.

And before them, they had finally arrived at Shuangmu Island!
