356: Huge Harvest, Kowloon Secret (2-in-1)
Tianxiang Island, Purple Jade Mountain.
The divine mountain near Celestial Elephant Outer Island, once worshipped by thousands, all vying for a spot in the Ziyu Sect, has now been completely cleansed.
Lin Shiming stood inside the central palace, waiting for Lin Hou, Lin Shiyun, and Lin Zelu Daoist to replace the various mountain-protecting Formations of Purple Jade Mountain.
"Shiming, it's done!" Lin Hou let out a long breath. In the distance, the Purple Jade Mountain's radiant glow began to reappear, gradually enveloping the area, finally covering the market at the foot of the mountain.
"Thank you, Second Uncle!" Lin Shiming looked at Lin Hou's eyes, speaking with some concern.
The Lin Family's Formation Cultivators were still too few, which was why the three of them had to work so hard.
"Second Uncle, try this Magical Artifact!" Lin Shiming took out the Buddhist bead Magical Artifact again and handed it to Lin Hou.
The latter happily put on the Buddhist beads. The next moment, a faint Buddhist light began to emanate, followed by strings of Sanskrit characters that actively invaded Lin Hou's body.
At this moment, Lin Shiming seemed to see the blood-red in Lin Hou's eyes lighten somewhat.
"It's effective!" Lin Hou also exclaimed in surprise.
"Don't worry, Second Uncle. Once we have the Cultivation Technique, the effect will be even better. With Dual Cultivation of Buddhism and demonic arts, Second Uncle can even prepare to charge to Purple Mansion and hope for Golden Core!" Lin Shiming said with a smile.
Buddhist dharma Cultivates the mind, and blood demon forges the body. Lin Hou's future achievements were already limitless. Coupled with his Formation talent, his role in the Lin Family would only grow larger in the future.
Of course, the premise was that the Lin Family found the Buddhist Sect's Cultivation Technique as soon as possible.
"Shiming, let's use the Formation again to search for any stragglers!"
"Also, how should we deal with the Ziyu Sect Cultivators hidden in the market?" Lin Hou asked.
"For the hidden Ziyu Sect Cultivators, offer a direct bounty. We are not short on Spirit Stones now. Also, spread the word that the first five-year Auction will be held in five years, with a treasure for Breakthrough to Purple Mansion as the finale. Cultivators harboring Ziyu Sect remnants will not be allowed to participate!" Lin Shiming declared.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked, even Lin Hou.
However, after a moment's thought, he realized it also gave the Tianxiang Island Cultivators hope. As for who would bid for the treasure, there was still much room for manipulation.
They could Cultivate subordinate forces, or even engage in internal trading. The Lin Family still had four taiqing purple jade fruits and five purple profound treasure jades!
Of course, only the purple profound treasure jade with a ten percent chance would be brought out.
And once the Purple Mansion treasure appeared, it would definitely diminish the Ziyu Sect's influence. A Purple Mansion Sect that wasn't even enthusiastic about auctioning Foundation Establishment Pills couldn't possibly be as popular as a Purple Mansion Family that auctioned Purple Mansion treasures.
Lin Hou and the other Cultivators all went to make arrangements, while Lin Shiming took out the Soul Suppressing Tower, preparing to search memories and Divine Souls!
He first examined Purple Jade Sanren's Divine Soul. He was equally interested in the secret method of transforming into a Flood Dragon, as transforming into a Flood Dragon was enough to raise a Body Cultivator's strength by another Rank.
To Lin Shiming, it was extremely tempting.
As for the side effects, Lin Shiming was not afraid. After all, he had the System's prompts. Even if the System's prompts were insufficient, he still had four years to use the Minor Divine Ability's deduction light to deduce it.
It would just waste one opportunity!
The eerie light of the Soul Suppressing Tower swept towards Purple Jade Sanren's corpse, beginning to organize the Divine Soul.
However, the next moment, a Flood Dragon painting scroll appeared, slowly unfolding. Nine Flood Dragons suddenly rushed out, roaring at Lin Shiming.
Roar!
Roar!
All the dark light was scattered by a single roar, leaving Lin Shiming stunned. The Soul Suppressing Tower had failed.
At the same time, the Flood Dragon painting scroll also began to collapse, the Divine Soul turning into fragments and shattering.
And taking advantage of that fleeting moment, Lin Shiming quickly activated the Soul Suppressing Tower again. With a sweep of the eerie light, he finally retrieved some information.
However, it was all information about the Ziyu Sect's future. There was no information about the Flood Dragon transformation secret method or memories from before coming to Tianxiang Island.
Instead, how to bribe Real Person Xuri was all revealed to Lin Shiming.
With this information, Lin Shiming was not entirely empty-handed. This meant that the Lin Family's feasibility of controlling Tianxiang Island was extremely high!
In addition, Lin Shiming also learned of Nine Dragon Island's true ambition: the golden dragon fruit tree.
This fruit tree was actually brought out by a descendant of Nine Dragon Island's higher-ups and needed to be recovered!
Of course, Lin Shiming had no more information. He only wanted to keep this information to himself.
The news of the Lin Family possessing the golden dragon fruit tree must not be spread, otherwise, they would face the blockade of Nine Dragon Island.
Even if the Lin Family handed over the golden dragon fruit tree, it wouldn't be enough. After all, even if the golden dragon fruit tree didn't bear fruit, absorbing the Flood Dragon Qi next to it could cause some pythons to transform into half-Flood Dragons.
If this news were to spread, Nine Dragon Island might face the joint suppression of the other five major forces.
And Nine Dragon Island would absolutely not allow this to happen.
Of course, for the Lin Family, the golden dragon fruit tree also could not be given up. Firstly, it might be the opportunity for Wang Jiao to advance to a Yao King in the future!
Secondly, if Spirit Beasts like pythons were cultivated and underwent some mutations, those half-Flood Dragons might also transform into true Flood Dragons. It was not impossible for the Lin Family to become a Flood Dragon Family.
Especially since the Lin Family also had the Bloodline Ancestral Return Secret Method!
Now that the Ziyu Sect was gone, the Lin Family would definitely face probing from Nine Dragon Island. He could only hope that the Coral Alliance would take it seriously and block all of Nine Dragon Island's spies.
Although he knew that the possibility of a Golden Core Cultivator coming was small, it was highly likely that Purple Mansion Cultivators would come, engage in secret maneuvers, or perform Soul Searching on the Lin Family!
The Lin Family also needed a new family jade book!
At the very least, it needed to be able to defend against his Soul Suppressing Tower and reach that level of strength!
Lin Shiming couldn't help but sigh. He originally thought that occupying Tianxiang Island would allow for worry-free development, but now it seemed he had to be constantly wary of Nine Dragon Island.
He also had to quickly raise his Qi Cultivation to the Mid Purple Mansion Realm. At this moment, he had quite a few Red Lotus Pills in his Storage Pouch.
Lin Shiming then investigated Loose Immortal Luo Yun, and a Flood Dragon painting scroll jade book also appeared.
Clearly, this Flood Dragon painting scroll was the Sect jade book of the powerful Nine Dragon Island, and its Rank was far from what other family jade books could compare to.
However, the power of the Soul Suppressing Tower could still capture some information.
Perhaps ten Soul Suppressing Towers combined would be able to completely decipher the Sect jade book of a great clan.
After investigating the two Daoists, Lin Shiming began to investigate the five Peak Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Ziyu Sect who had fled first.
After checking them one by one, Lin Shiming finally had a clear understanding.
The South Sea Cultivation World was indeed much richer than the Eastern Region. The Ziyu Sect controlled one Mysterious Grade Secret Realm, three Yellow Grade Secret Realms, and in addition, two Medium Grade Spirit Stone Mines and three Low-Grade Spirit Stone Mines!
And the income from the Teleportation Array was hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones annually, but seventy percent had to be paid to Rising Sun Island.
At the same time, a beast tide would occur almost every century!
In addition, more Spirit Stones needed to be paid as tribute every ten years, and three missions from the Coral Alliance needed to be completed. These missions included Materials from Purple Mansion Yao Beasts, as well as Spiritual Veins. In short, the missions were never particularly easy.
But apart from that, the degree of freedom was also very high. As long as the relationship with the responsible Immortal Master was handled well, there were basically no restrictions.
Otherwise, Purple Jade Sanren, a half-Flood Dragon, would not have been able to stay on Tianxiang Island for so long.
Of course, the most important thing was that Tianxiang Island's Ziyu Sect had two Fourth-Order Spirit Veins: one Fourth-Order Medium Grade Spiritual Vein and one Fourth-Order Low Grade pure water Spiritual Vein!
This was the treasure that made Lin Shiming rejoice.
With this Spiritual Vein, he could not only use it for Spiritual Vein treasure nurturing to nurture another Soul Suppressing Tower, but also use it to feed the Star Spirit Shell, helping him Cultivate the Starlight Body Tempering Art.
In addition, Lin Shiming also learned that a large Auction would be held every ten years on the Coral Alliance's Inner Island, hosted in rotation by the twelve Immortal Masters of the twelve Inner Islands. Only one year remained until this Auction, and the venue was none other than Rising Sun Island.
It just so happened that Lin Shiming also needed to meet the Immortal Master and pay his respects. Perhaps the Buddhist Sect's Cultivation Technique could also be auctioned at this grand event.
After searching the few Peak Foundation Establishment Elders, Lin Shiming did not continue with the rest. He felt his Divine Soul was extremely heavy at this moment. Searching so many Divine Souls put immense pressure on his Divine Soul.
He began to examine the harvest from this time, and saw seven Storage Pouches laid out before him.
Lin Shiming examined them one by one, and then sorted them into categories.
In the end, he obtained five Magic Treasures, among which the crescent moon guard blade was a Fourth-Order High Grade Magic Treasure, relatively precious. In addition, there was a purple profound cloth Magic Treasure, Fourth-Order Medium Grade.
Cloth Magic Treasures, Lin Shiming had never seen before. Their main function was concealment, which was why Lin Shiming hadn't discovered Purple Jade Sanren and Loose Immortal Luo Yun. It was only when the System prompt appeared that he realized he might have been ambushed.
The remaining three Magic Treasures were somewhat weaker in power. One of them was a defensive Magic Treasure, which was more valuable, while the remaining two were even inferior.
Lin Shiming was not surprised. Purple Jade Sanren's Minor Divine Ability was also obtained by consuming a Minor Divine Power Fruit. The purchase of that Minor Divine Power Fruit had cost him most of his fortune, and most of his Magic Treasures were exchanged for Spirit Stones.
And later, he bought a portion of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid for Loose Immortal Luo Yun.
The most powerful Fourth-Order Medium Grade Magic Treasure, the Cold Iron Shield, was even shattered by Lin Shiming's single sword strike.
There were quite a few Magical Artifacts left, and several excellent High Grade Magical Artifacts were good, but useless to him!
Besides Magical Artifacts, in terms of secret methods, the Ziyu Sect's harvest was also considerable. One Profound Rank High Grade Cultivation Technique, the Water Origin Scripture, which could be Cultivated to Early Stage Golden Core; five Profound Rank Medium Grade Cultivation Techniques; and in addition, seven Profound Rank Low-Rank Techniques, none of which overlapped with the Lin Family's Cultivation Techniques, greatly supplementing the Lin Family's Cultivation Technique foundation.
Furthermore, the Lin Family's most lacking Fourth-Order Talisman crafting Legacy was finally completed within the Ziyu Sect.
At this point, the Lin Family's four cultivation arts could all reach Fourth-Order Legacy at their highest.
Lin Shiming then took out a Jade Slip. The content of the Jade Slip was exactly the island transplantation method and stabilization method he had been longing for.
However, the Seven Star Colorful Elephant Formation was not included. Otherwise, if the Lin Family mastered it and deployed it near Shuangmu Island, they would have an additional means.
Lin Shiming then saw the Ziyu spirit wine recipe, which was the first Fourth-Order spirit wine recipe the Lin Family had obtained.
The future Lin Family Restaurant would also be moved to Ziyu Pavilion.
After organizing for more than half an hour, Lin Shiming stood up again!
He looked towards the pure water-attribute Spiritual Vein. He intended to move this Spiritual Vein, which involved the secret method of Spiritual Vein treasure nurturing. He dared not perform it on Tianxiang Island.
Even an Immortal Master of the Coral Alliance would be tempted by such a secret method.
Above the Spiritual Vein, there was a clear pool the size of a basin. In the clear pool, a small layer of Fourth-Order spirit liquid flowed.
Lin Shiming waved his sleeve and collected the Fourth-Order spirit liquid. At the same time, he took out a Formation to isolate the spirit pool.
In the distance, Lin Xianzhi and others had also arrived. Lin Shiming listed the obtained treasures on a Jade Slip and handed it to Lin Xianzhi for inspection. The remaining treasures were all given to his father, who now managed the clan treasury.
At that time, the Lin Family's rewards would all be handled by Lin Houyuan.
"Seventh Grand Uncle, this Fourth-Order spirit pool might still require your help to transplant back to Fangmu Island!"
Fangmu Island happened to be lacking a Fourth-Order Spiritual Vein at the moment, which suited Lin Xianzhi's wishes perfectly!
"Good!" Lin Xianzhi nodded.
Lin Shiming then looked at Lin Hou and the others.
"Second Uncle, the Teleportation Array can also begin to be repaired. In a few days, I will be going to Rising Sun Island!" Lin Shiming continued.
With the Ziyu Sect remnants eliminated, the Teleportation Array naturally needed to be repaired. Otherwise, there were still many Cultivators from other forces on Tianxiang Island. If they all came to demand accountability, the Lin Family might not be able to withstand them.
"No problem!" Lin Hou nodded. With his Buddhist Magical Artifact, he was no longer worried about the blood demon invading his Divine Soul.
After giving his instructions, Lin Shiming headed towards the Cheng Family and Duan Family!
However, as soon as Lin Shiming descended Purple Jade Mountain, he saw the two Family Heads kneeling at the foot of Purple Jade Mountain.
"Reporting to Daoist, the Duan Family and Cheng Family have collected three gourds of three types of Fourth-Order spirit wine and fifteen types of Third-Order spirit wine!" The two shouted repeatedly upon seeing Lin Shiming appear!
If there was still a glimmer of hope before, now there was only fear!
The Ziyu Sect was annihilated in an instant, completely and without a trace, truly achieving the goal of rooting out evil.
If the Lin Family were to implicate them again because of previous matters and casually destroy their two families, it would be effortless. As for the reason, they already had one: colluding with the Ziyu Sect!
As the two spoke, they presented their Storage Pouches.
Lin Shiming took the Storage Pouches and found that in addition to the complete collection of spirit wine, there were also copies of the core Cultivation Techniques and Family Legacies of the two Sects!
There were also one thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones, divided between the two families, with five million spiritual stones for each Family.
Each also had a High Grade Magical Artifact!
For the Lin Family, these Spirit Stones and Magical Artifacts were not precious, but for the Duan Family and Cheng Family, they almost exhausted most of their fortunes!
This was also because the Lin Family's methods were too fast. In less than a month, they had avenged Loose Immortal Luo Yun's intrusion at the wedding.
"Alright, get up. Stabilize the situation in Celestial Elephant City's market well. I don't want to see the incompetence of your three great families!" Lin Shiming then dismissed the two.
After collecting the spirit wine, Lin Shiming's chances of success increased by another point. Once he used the spirit wine to summon Nine Heavens Hermit as a Guest Elder, it would be another bargaining chip for him when facing Real Person Xuri!
At the same time, his Thirteenth Uncle could also obtain similar Cultivation Techniques, and might even embark on the path of a Wine Immortal.
Lin Shiming took half a drop of each spirit wine, tasted them, and after confirming there were no problems, he piloted his spirit boat back to Shuangmu Island.
This time, Lin Houwei was left behind. In addition, the Lin Family's Illusion Heart Pavilion had also been completed. Lin Shiming also wanted to see who the Lin Family's second spirit body was!
