313: Qinglian Sanren, High Grade Lingshi Mine (three in one, for a wishful husband 0 plus 2000 words)
The enormous lightning spear was simply too vast and too unstoppable.
It was like a lightning tribulation sent down by the Heavenly Dao, or a lightning arrow unleashed when a Yao Beast transformed.
There were even slight distortions in the Void Realm, as if the entire Void Realm couldn't withstand this single lightning spear!
Lin Shiming held his breath and quickly recalled the Lai Yun Sword, then had the Wood Demon push the war treasure ship to its limit.
He had to block this attack, and after this attack, the Thunder Spirit Turtle's thunder true essence would definitely be depleted. At that point, harassed by the Poison Flood Dragon's venom, it would be nothing to fear!
The war treasure ship's forbidden Formation blocked it in the first instant. The dazzling lightning, with barely a pause, pierced through the Formation's spiritual shield, which could withstand an attack from a Purple Mansion Cultivator.
Lin Shiming's brows furrowed further. With a soft shout, the remaining true essence in his body, which was not much after releasing the Calamity Transformation, was all injected into the Crushing God Plate and the eighty-one Purple Wood Mysterious Sky Sword Formation. The dazzling spiritual plate emitted 'kaka' sound waves and transformed into a giant mountain Magic Treasure.
The Purple Wood Mysterious Sky Sword Formation was also activated to its maximum, but in just a breath, the Sword Formation was broken through, still unable to stop it.
The Poison Flood Dragon beside him also glared angrily, opening its mouth wide. The twin horns on its head flickered with a faint light, and it suddenly spat out a large mouthful of poisonous breath, colliding with the lightning spear. Crackling electric arcs immediately jumped continuously.
For a moment, the lightning arcs of the spear seemed to be detonated, amplifying countless times.
The entire spear also began to show signs of dissipating.
Lin Shiming didn't hesitate, swallowing a drop of thousand-year spiritual milk, and once again circulated the Calamity Transformation Sword Art.
Unrivaled Sword Intent, rampant sword light, a full fifty Sword Grass formed from Sword Intent, slashed out again!
It intertwined with the flickering lightning arcs, causing the entire sea area to instantaneously vanish, creating a diameter like a large lake, nearly bottoming out and drying up. Countless seawater poured in, and rumbling sounds echoed through heaven and earth.
The war treasure ship where Lin Shiming was located was even pushed back several hundred meters by the spreading Divine Might!
On the spirit boat, Lin Shiming let out a long breath. Although difficult, he had managed to block it.
And the Fourth-Order Thunder Turtle, having exhausted its thunder attribute true essence, wouldn't be able to condense such a terrifying lightning spear again in a short time.
However, what surprised Lin Shiming again was the System prompt that appeared:
"Please beware of the Thunder Spirit Turtle's Undersea Heavenly Thunder Water Spirit Arrow!"
The System's prompt made Lin Shiming's heart tighten instantly. Countless Spirit Stones were placed into the spirit storage slot, then turned into ashes!
The war treasure ship's forbidden Formation once again covered the entire spirit boat.
Almost at the same time the spirit Formation activated, amidst the rampant spiritual light storm, the Thunder Spirit Turtle buried its head deep in the sea, seemingly poised for defense.
But then, another lightning arrow suddenly shot out from the seabed towards Lin Shiming.
This lightning arrow was simply too fast, and it came from under the sea, making it impossible to guard against!
Its spiritual attack was a mixed spiritual attack of thunder and water attributes!
The war treasure ship's spirit Formation was once again pierced through without surprise!
At this moment, Lin Shiming's sword essence from the sword dao seed was already insufficient; he could only barely unleash three Heaven-Slaying strikes!
Beside him, the Red-haired Demon Monkey also transformed into a thirty-zhang tall flaming giant ape. The fiery spiritual patterns all over its body became even grander. It first threw out the Yuan Magnetic Seal, then took out a Magic Treasure Pill Furnace and threw it out forcefully.
The Yuan Magnetic Seal, in front of the lightning arrow, lost its usual Divine Might and was instantly knocked flying!
On the contrary, the Magic Treasure Pill Furnace, likely a Fifth-Order Magic Treasure, was exceptionally sturdy even without true essence injected into it.
The dazzling blue lightning arrow slammed onto the Pill Furnace. The fire and blue light once again became like a blazing sun, making it impossible to look at directly.
The immense Divine Might still rushed towards Lin Shiming and the others.
The Fifth-Order Magic Treasure Pill Furnace, after all, was not being controlled, and it was still knocked flying!
The giant ape transformed from the Red-haired Demon Monkey stood at the forefront of the storm. The soaring spiritual flames instantly covered half the sky like a volcano, and countless seawater was evaporated.
Once the attack was blocked, the Poison Flood Dragon, Golden Winged Mantis, Lin Shiming, and the Red-haired Demon Monkey all rushed towards the Fourth-Order Thunder Spirit Turtle.
Three top-tier Yao Beasts, plus Lin Shiming and the war treasure ship, the Thunder Spirit Turtle, afflicted by severe poison, even as a Purple Mansion Great Demon, could only retreat into its shell and flee in all directions.
It wanted to sink into the seawater, but how could the Poison Flood Dragon allow it to succeed?
Countless times, the Dragon tail lashed out fiercely. The terrifying immense force caused the Thunder Spirit Turtle's massive, island-like body to flip several times in the air. Each time it crashed into the sea, it stirred up a hundred-zhang tsunami.
However, Lin Shiming still frowned.
They still couldn't break through the Thunder Spirit Turtle's shell.
Fourth-Order Purple Mansion Great Demons were already terrifying, and this Thunder Spirit Turtle was a paragon among them. Its shell, covered in thunder patterns, had endured who knows how many vicissitudes over time.
Moreover, he understood that the Thunder Spirit Turtle hadn't lost yet. It was suppressing the poison within its shell and continuing to gather thunder attribute true essence.
Lin Shiming couldn't help but turn his head to look at the other surroundings of Shuangmu Island. Lin Shijie's combat power was equally terrifying at this moment. With his Five Flames True Scripture and fire-forged Sword Intent, he condensed five spiritual swords.
A Third-Order Middle Stage Yao Beast was almost guaranteed to die with one sword strike.
Even a Third-Order Late Stage Yao Beast had to avoid Lin Shijie's momentum.
And he also specifically targeted Third-Order Thunder Turtles!
Besides Lin Shijie, Lin Yuqing was the most brutal. Although he was a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator, being a Body Cultivator, he also charged at the very front. His Mountain Ape Body Refining Art was pushed to its limit, combined with a set of Magical Artifacts, many Third-Order Early Stage Yao Beasts died by his hand.
Lin Shilei and Lei Xuan, on the other hand, launched wave after wave of thunder Spells, bombarding the Second-Order Yao Beasts and Third-Order crab and shrimp-type Yao Beasts. Countless Yao Beasts turned into charred corpses, washed away by the seawater.
Although Lin Shitao also Cultivated the Five Flames True Scripture, her combat power was similar to Lin Houyuan's.
Battles were raging all around Shuangmu Island.
Among them, quite a few Lin Family Qi Refining Cultivators also perished!
Of course, at this moment, Lin Shiming's gaze was also fixed on a figure on the mountain peak.
On Shuangmu Island's holy mountain, rays of light shone brightly, and the purple glow and Spiritual Qi that had almost liquefied turned the mountain into a Spiritual Qi Holy Land.
And a vast Divine Soul seemed to sense the Lin Family's crisis.
It gathered even faster!
Finally, at a certain moment, all the boundless purple light descended.
A terrifying Divine Sense swept out!
Purple Mansion!
Success!
One must know that Lin Xianzhi also Cultivated the Spirit Splitting Art. Although not as proficient as Lin Shiming, having now broken through to Purple Mansion, his vast Divine Sense instantly made the Thunder Spirit Turtle in the seawater fearful. Its head and four limbs all shot out, transforming into a blue escape light, about to flee.
But how could Lin Shiming let the Thunder Spirit Turtle escape now?
The war treasure ship continuously bombarded the Thunder Spirit Turtle. Spirit Stones poured into the spirit storage platform like sand, pushing the entire war treasure ship to its limit!
The Poison Flood Dragon, Red-haired Demon Monkey, and Golden Winged Mantis also desperately held it back!
However, it was, after all, the Thunder Spirit Turtle's home ground, and its water escape Spell was too astonishing.
Even against Lin Shiming's Heaven-Slaying Sword, the Thunder Spirit Turtle relied on its shell to forcibly withstand it.
Just as it was about to escape, a dazzling golden sword lotus appeared in the Void Realm.
It then transformed into a sword light and fiercely struck the Thunder Spirit Turtle.
Wherever the sword light passed, the sea split in two, and all Spirit Beasts were annihilated into ashes!
Only Sword Qi raged across half the sea, lingering for a long time without disappearing!
Even each time the seawater poured back in, it would be turned into nothingness again by the lingering Sword Qi.
The Thunder Spirit Turtle was instantly flipped over, and a huge crack appeared on its carapace!
This was enough to show the power of this sword strike!
The next moment, Lin Xianzhi's figure walked out from Shuangmu Island, finally landing in front of the Thunder Spirit Turtle. With a solemn expression, he unleashed countless sword lights again.
The Thunder Spirit Turtle had no choice but to retreat into its shell, but Lin Xianzhi at this moment, enveloped in purple light, was not comparable to Lin Shiming at Peak Foundation Establishment.
After Purple Mansion, a Cultivator's true essence rose another level, and his Azure Lotus Sword Intent had also thoroughly reached Sword Qi Coagulation!
One sword surpassed ten thousand swords!
The shell visibly cracked.
Lin Xianzhi began to condense the Spirit Control Seal. The Fourth-Order Thunder Spirit Turtle's Divine Sense was surprisingly weak; Lin Shiming had witnessed this. Although controlling this Thunder Spirit Turtle required reinforcing the Spirit Control Seal periodically, compared to the combat power the Thunder Spirit Turtle could bring to the Lin Family, it was definitely worth it.
The Spirit Control Seal did not succeed. The Thunder Spirit Turtle was, after all, a Purple Mansion Great Demon, and its Divine Soul had already gathered!
But failing once, Lin Xianzhi pointed his sword, and almost an entire golden sword lotus, formed entirely from Sword Qi Coagulation, was about to sweep towards the crack in the carapace.
Under the terrifying Sword Intent, the indestructible shell was completely breached, and countless Sword Qi surged into the Thunder Spirit Turtle's body.
The Thunder Spirit Turtle writhed in pain, its terrifying movements stirring up one water vortex after another.
Tsunamis rose and fell even more frequently!
And Lin Xianzhi once again condensed the Spirit Control Seal.
This time, the Thunder Spirit Turtle no longer resisted and was imprinted with the Spirit Control Seal upon its Divine Soul. As long as the spiritual seal remained, it could not resist the Lin Family.
Of course, this also required Lin Xianzhi to reinforce the Spirit Control Seal periodically.
And with Lin Xianzhi's Divine Soul and true essence, controlling the Thunder Spirit Turtle had become his limit.
The Thunder Spirit Turtle was now severely wounded and was taken into a spirit beast pouch by Lin Xianzhi. The biggest variable in this disturbance was finally captured!
Once the Thunder Spirit Turtle was subdued, the remaining Yao Beasts naturally became easy prey or spiritual materials.
The Spirit Control Seal was studied by all Foundation Establishment Cultivators on Shuangmu Island, and some core Qi Refining Family members with extraordinary talent also Cultivated it.
Counting Lin Shiming and his three Spirit Beasts, as well as Lin Xianzhi's intervention, the entire small beast tide on the island was completely annihilated. The rest became Yao Beasts reserved by the various Family members.
The scene was quickly cleaned up, and the Poison Flood Dragon even rushed to a Third-Order Late Stage Thunder Turtle and bit it to death directly.
Only then did its dragon head shake four times, rising into the sky with immense Divine Qi.
The majesty of a Dragon was fully displayed.
This drew the attention of countless Family Cultivators.
Of course, not just the Poison Flood Dragon, but the Golden Winged Mantis and Red-haired Demon Monkey also became objects of envy for the Family Cultivators.
Each of them wished they could Cultivate their own Yao Beasts to such a degree!
This is how a Cultivator should be!
The great battle concluded, and everyone's faces were filled with joy!
Not only was this battle victorious, but it also signified that the Lin Family had once again become a Purple Mansion Family!
The glory of four hundred years ago, the Lin Family had regained!
"Congratulations, Seventh Grand Uncle, for achieving Major Achievement in Purple Mansion and Major Achievement in Sword Intent!" Lin Shiming was the first to cup his hands in congratulation.
"Congratulations, Seventh Uncle, for achieving Major Achievement in Purple Mansion and Major Achievement in Sword Intent!"
"Congratulations, Seventh Grand Uncle, for achieving Major Achievement in Purple Mansion and Major Achievement in Sword Intent!"
...Cultivators of various generations also followed with continuous congratulations.
From the Yu Generation to the Hou Generation, Shi Generation, and Ze Generation, a full four generations of Cultivators!
At this moment, Lin Xianzhi was filled with heroic spirit. Although thirty years of cultivating his sword while bedridden had long made him indifferent to fame and fortune, truly taking another step forward and entering the Purple Mansion, how could he not be delighted by the brilliant demeanor within!
"Shiming, this is all thanks to you!"
He understood that his Breakthrough to the Purple Mansion was almost entirely due to Lin Shiming's help.
Whether it was the purple profound treasure jade or the thousand-year spiritual milk, Lin Shiming had found them.
"Shiming, Seventh Grand Uncle is useless. The purple profound treasure jade and the thousand-year spiritual milk have all been used by Seventh Grand Uncle!" Lin Xianzhi then regretfully transmitted a message to Lin Shiming.
He had originally only intended to use one spiritual item, but after the Breakthrough, he finally understood why so many Cultivators were trapped in the Foundation Establishment Stage their entire lives, unable to enter the Purple Mansion!
And thinking of the Breakthrough scene, he also felt a lingering fear. If it weren't for the two spiritual items, he probably wouldn't have been confident in passing any of the stages!
"Seventh Grand Uncle, your Breakthrough to the Purple Mansion, allowing the Family to return to being a Purple Mansion Family, is the most important thing, and the most celebratory event for the Lin Family. How can you say it's a waste!" Lin Shiming shook his head and retorted.
Although he also hoped Lin Xianzhi could have kept one Purple Mansion spiritual item, that was too far-fetched.
Lin Xianzhi's stable Breakthrough was the most important thing!
And the result was indeed very good!
"Seventh Grand Uncle, please think of a Daoist title!" Lin Shiming said, then looked at all the Lin Family members.
"Let it be Daoist Azure Lotus!" Lin Xianzhi also nodded. This Daoist title was almost always taken by all Cultivators who entered the Purple Mansion. Among Daoists, they almost always addressed each other by their Daoist titles!
"Good, then the Holy Mountain will be called Qinglian Peak!" Lin Shiming spoke again.
The reason the Holy Mountain had not been named until now was because the Lin Family members were waiting for this moment. How could a Fourth-Order Spirit Vein not have a name!
But only the three words "Qinglian Peak" at this moment could represent the Lin Family's complete rise and return to being a Purple Mansion Family, which held greater significance!
The other Cultivators also cheered together; they had known about this for a long time.
After a series of celebrations, Lin Xianzhi departed. He now needed to return to the Fourth-Order Spirit Vein to consolidate his cultivation. Although he had broken through to the Purple Mansion, he had participated in the battle without consolidating for a moment, and the purple glow all over his body had not been fully absorbed!
He stepped into the Void Realm and disappeared.
As for the rest, he was confident Lin Shiming could handle everything!
Lin Shiming once again stood in the center of the Family members!
"To celebrate the Family's return to the Purple Mansion, eighty percent of the profits from this great battle will go to you, and twenty percent to the Family, to celebrate Seventh Grand Uncle!"
"To celebrate Daoist Azure Lotus!"
"And even more, to celebrate the Lin Family of the Purple Mansion!"
...After Lin Shiming finished speaking, the other Family members also shouted loudly!
At this moment, their voices drowned out the massive ocean waves!
Each passionate sound represented the Lin Family members' anticipation for this moment!
Among them, it also represented the efforts of countless Lin Family Cultivators who had continuously paved the way for the Family over the past two hundred years, finally receiving a response.
Just like the towering waves crashing against the shore at this moment, powerful and resonant!
"The remaining Family members, clean this sea area, eliminate the demon blood in the sea area. Additionally, the Family will hold a celebration three months from now!" Lin Shiming commanded again.
Of course, the celebration would only be held on Shuangmu Island and would not involve the Lin Family Cultivators in Yunzhou.
When the celebration began, perhaps only the flying birds and sea turtles would celebrate, but for the Lin Family's ceremony, the most important thing was for it to remain in the hearts of the Family members.
A Purple Mansion Family was never the end, but another beginning!
The Lin Family members went about their tasks, but at this moment, Lin Shiming did not return to Shuangmu Island. He sent a Divine Sense message to Lin Houshou and then to Lin Shijie.
The three of them, piloting the war treasure ship, headed towards a certain part of the sea.
At the forefront of the sea, Wang Jiao led the way, extremely excited.
Although he had already transformed into a Flood Dragon, Wang Jiao's craving for High-Grade Spirit Stones was still extremely strong. As soon as the great battle ended and his great revenge was avenged, Wang Jiao wanted to rush to the place of High-Grade Spirit Stones and claim all of them for himself.
If it weren't for Lin Shiming's control with the Soul Restraining Seal, Wang Jiao would probably have already rushed out.
Lin Houshou and Lin Shijie were both a little surprised. At this moment, the Family was dealing with matters on Shuangmu Island, but Lin Shiming not only didn't rest but also called for them.
He was even extremely generous, giving them a High-Grade Spirit Stone to restore their true essence!
Although they were full of doubts, Lin Shiming didn't speak, and seeing the exceptionally handsome Poison Flood Dragon diligently leading the way ahead.
The two also felt a surge of excitement, realizing that another extraordinary treasure had probably been discovered!
They flew for half a day continuously in the sea. One should know that this was the speed of a Fourth-Order treasure boat; if it were a Third-Order spirit boat, it would take at least a day!
Soon, everyone saw an even larger island. This island was even more peculiar; it had no high peaks, but rather its center was a low-lying area, like a treasure basin!
It had its own enclosed inland sea!
Lin Shiming and the other two had joy overflowing on their faces. This island was simply a natural Holy Land for raising Mystic Spirit Turtles and Azure Armor Crabs, and the Lin Family might even be able to raise marine fish!
Upgrading to a Purple Mansion Family naturally increased the demand for Spirit Stones. Otherwise, providing for Lin Xianzhi, a Purple Mansion Cultivator, would require a significant amount of Spirit Stones each year.
And if they had such an island, it would definitely greatly increase their income.
Of course, as soon as the three's Divine Sense reached the island, they felt a terrifying level of Spiritual Qi sweeping through again.
A Fourth-Order Spirit Vein!
This instantly put Lin Houshou and Lin Shijie in a difficult position. This was a Fourth-Order Spirit Vein island, and there must be Purple Mansion Great Demons.
"Shiming, this island is probably quite dangerous!" Lin Houshou, as an elder, raised his concern at this moment.
He only saw Lin Shiming smiling gently there, saying nothing, and there seemed to be no Purple Mansion Great Demon on the island!
A startling thought suddenly emerged in Lin Houshou's mind: "Shiming, is that island the territory of that Thunder Spirit Turtle?"
Lin Shiming nodded, and the two became excited again.
With Lin Xianzhi, a Purple Mansion Cultivator, and the control of the Thunder Spirit Turtle, occupying two large islands with Fourth-Order Spirit Veins would no longer be a problem.
This was simply a great joyous event for the Lin Family.
Wang Jiao still rushed towards the island, and the war treasure ship quickly reached the island.
As they observed, this island was a perfect place for marine farming. They only needed to set up a water-attribute spirit Formation below the inland lake within the island's enclosure to prevent the farmed Yao Beasts from escaping!
It was much simpler than raising Mystic Spirit Turtles and Azure Armor Crabs on Shuangmu Island.
And in the inland lake, everyone was pleasantly surprised to find that only two Late Stage Third-Order Thunder Spirit Turtles remained, along with a few mid-stage Third-Order Mystic Spirit Turtles, while the rest were some young Mystic Spirit Turtles and a few young Thunder Spirit Turtles.
These young Thunder Spirit Turtles were not much different from Lin Shilei's young turtle!
"Second Uncle, I'll have Wang Jiao block the bottom of the inland lake, and you set up the Formation. All the young turtles here must be taken into the Lin Family's possession!" Lin Shiming said.
This was also the purpose of him calling Lin Houshou. Whether it was to conceal the Spiritual Vein or to set up a great island-protecting Formation, Lin Houshou's help was needed.
As for Lin Shijie, his combat power was sufficient, and he could be a helper in case of emergencies!
The two Late Stage Third-Order Thunder Spirit Turtles naturally quickly perished at Lin Shiming's hands. His Spirit Control Seal commanded the Sea Cloud Bird, a flying Yao Beast, which was more useful than the Thunder Spirit Turtle, and the Lin Family had no Cultivator capable of commanding a Late Stage Third-Order Thunder Spirit Turtle.
So he did not hold back.
Instead, one mid-stage Third-Order Thunder Spirit Turtle was controlled by Lin Shijie, and the remaining young Thunder Turtles and young Mystic Spirit Turtles were all driven onto the island by Lin Shiming.
With Wang Jiao blocking the inland lake, not a single young turtle escaped.
There were hundreds of young turtles.
The reproductive capacity of these Mystic Spirit Turtles and Thunder Turtles was excellent, much larger than the Azure Crown Sea Cloud Bird population.
Of course, after the spiritual turtles were captured, the Formation was quickly set up, and Wang Jiao impatiently rushed out of the inland lake and headed towards a massive Immortal Cave on the island.
On the walls of the Immortal Cave, Mid-Grade Spirit Stones were exposed, one after another.
This scene instantly excited Lin Shijie and Lin Houshou!
A Mid-Grade Spirit Stone Mine! This was also the Lin Family's first Spirit Stone Mine that belonged entirely to them. Although there was one in the Qingyun Mountain Range not long ago, the Lin Family only occupied one-tenth of that one!
How could it be as comfortable as occupying an entire one alone!
Furthermore, here, the Lin Family didn't have to worry about a Qingxuan Sect appearing and demanding the Spiritual Vein!
Lin Shijie and Lin Houshou looked on with joy, but found Lin Shiming still calm and smiling gently.
Thinking that the Poison Flood Dragon also rushed into the Immortal Cave, the two exchanged glances, their eyes filled with sharp light.
They couldn't help but quicken their steps a bit.
As expected, in the depths of the cave, High-Grade Spirit Stones were exposed in the rocks, one after another, and Wang Jiao had already opened his mouth wide and swallowed several High-Grade Spirit Stones.
Lin Shiming didn't stop him; Wang Jiao deserved the reward!
With this High-Grade Spirit Stone Mine, the Lin Family would not have to worry about Spirit Stones before becoming a Golden Core Family.
And the Teleportation Array could bring more Family members!
There were still too few Family members on Shuangmu Island. To develop, more Cultivators must be relocated, especially those with beast-taming and spiritual plant cultivation talents, who should be arranged to move to the island.
Yunzhou, on the other hand, would gradually shift away from being the main focus and be used as a front.
And the Lin Family indeed had to do so. They had the Foundation Establishment Pill Pill Formula and the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid Pill Formula. These were things that the Qingxuan Sect did not allow lower-ranked immortal cultivation families to possess. Even Foundation Establishment Cultivators who broke through had to be hidden on Shuangmu Island, unless the Lin Family purchased enough Foundation Establishment Pills.
The three of them looked on with joy. Lin Houshou and Lin Shijie's chests heaved violently, and it took a long time for them to calm down.
"Second Uncle, let's set up the Formation!" Lin Shiming said.
"Good! We must set up a Formation, and it must be a High Grade Third-Order Formation-within-a-Formation, with illusion, killing, and trapping Formations!" Lin Houshou said excitedly!
A Fourth-Order Spirit Vein, a High-Grade Spirit Stone Mine, and an inland lake—any one of these would drive the Lin Family crazy.
He finally understood why Lin Shiming had rushed here without stopping.
