379: Forced and Yulin background (2 in 1, 5,000 words, updated for the previous alliance leader)

Above the spirit boat, within the forbidden Formation, Real Person Xuri and Real Person Hongye both had fervent gazes.

Although their expectations were not high, they still had some.

Of course, most of their gazes still lingered on Loose Cultivator Guanghao.

Although Lin Shiming's Physical Body was very strong, he wouldn't be able to obtain too many Spirit Medicine.

Lin Shiming was extremely happy about this; he even thought of just taking out one five-thousand-year Spirit Medicine and two three-thousand-year Spirit Medicine to simply complete the task.

And just then, the System prompt suddenly sounded:

"Please note that the Ziyang Secret Realm's snatchBlood Cultivation Sect Spirit Medicine has been exposed!"

Lin Shiming was immediately startled. He knew that he had eliminated all the Cultivator from the Blood Cultivation Sect and Ten Thousand Buddha Island.

Unless the Cultivator from Ten Thousand Buddha Island who escaped before this, judging from the situation of the spirit boat behind him, the remaining three monks from Ten Thousand Buddha Island were not among those he had seen.

As for the Blood Cultivation Sect, only one blood child Cultivator remained.

Lin Shiming recalled the blood child Cultivator's abnormality and was also shocked.

While Lin Shiming was pondering, Loose Cultivator Guanghao beside him had already spoken first.

"Reporting to the Immortal Master, this Junior has a thousand-year Spirit Medicine!"

Loose Cultivator Guanghao looked proud, and as he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Lin Shiming.

Three five-thousand-year Spirit Medicine would definitely not be a small amount for an ordinary Cultivator. In the past, unless it was a cave heaven collected by the Core Disciple of the major inner islands.

Otherwise, even those Peak Purple Mansion Cultivator could only achieve this much!

As expected, after Loose Cultivator Guanghao finished speaking, Real Person Hongye and Real Person Xuri were both delighted.

They had already prepared for the worst.

After learning that there was some gain, this feeling of recovering what was lost gradually improved their mood, even if the Spirit Medicine was still far from their expectations.

"Very good. Your Guang Hao Island's mission will be reduced by thirty years. Additionally, you will receive three purple zenith sandalwood, or you can choose one Magic Treasure or precious Materials." Real Person Xuri praised on the spot.

Then he looked at Lin Shiming.

"Reporting to the two Immortal Master, this Junior has obtained a total of six five-thousand-year Spirit Medicine and nine three-thousand-year Spirit Medicine!" Lin Shiming said directly after a moment of thought.

He had stolen a total of four five-thousand-year Spirit Medicine from the Blood Cultivation Sect's Secret Realm cave heaven.

The reason he added two more was that he knew the danger indicated by the System was definitely not from Real Person Xuri, but from the inner island cooperating with the Blood Cultivation Sect.

For example, Rising Sun Island cooperated with Ten Thousand Buddha Island, and the monk with a spiritual pattern on his brow who came out of Ten Thousand Buddha Island would definitely share some Spirit Medicine with Real Person Xuri.

And the ones who could protect him were Real Person Xuri and Real Person Hongye in front of him.

The number six would not make the other Immortal Master envious, but it would also not make Real Person Xuri feel it was too little.

As expected, after Lin Shiming spoke, Real Person Xuri and Real Person Hongye were overjoyed.

The two looked at Lin Shiming in disbelief.

Loose Cultivator Guanghao next to him was almost stunned.

He, a Late Stage Purple Mansion Cultivator, only had three five-thousand-year Spirit Medicine, two of which he had snatched from others. The risks involved in that process were self-evident.

And this was also because he had two top-grade Flying Sword Magic Treasure and one top-grade Spirit Armor Magic Treasure!

Yet Lin Shiming was only a Mid Purple Mansion Realm Cultivator, unable to even activate top-grade Magic Treasure!

How could he believe this?

"Impossible, you're a Mid Purple Mansion Realm Cultivator, you wouldn't even have time to avoid the forbidden Formations!"

These words naturally earned him a glare from Real Person Xuri and Real Person Hongye, but the two also felt a mix of hope and worry, fearing that Lin Shiming was indeed talking nonsense.

Instead, they ignored Loose Cultivator Guanghao's presumptuous remarks and looked at Lin Shiming with serious expressions.

"Is it true?"

"It is naturally true!" Lin Shiming nodded and took out a Storage Pouch.

Before Real Person Xuri could take the Storage Pouch, a sound transmission talisman appeared within the spirit Formation.

Real Person Xuri opened the Formation and saw Lanling True Person and Golden Thunder Zhenren (Golden Thunder True Person) approaching with the blood-eyed Cultivator and a group of Purple Mansion Cultivator from Golden Thunder Island.

Golden Thunder Zhenren (Golden Thunder True Person) was extremely majestic, not only a thunder Cultivator whose attack power was not inferior to a Sword Cultivator, but also a Late Golden Core Stage mighty existence.

However, at this moment, Golden Thunder Zhenren (Golden Thunder True Person) stood aside, like a spectator. They also had a strained relationship with the Blood Cultivation Sect.

It was mainly Lanling True Person. This Blood Cultivation Sect was brought by Lanling Island, where Lanling True Person resided, and they usually had many conflicts with Rising Sun Island.

This could be seen from one bringing Ten Thousand Buddha Island and the other bringing the Blood Cultivation Sect.

Lanling True Person looked at the blood child Cultivator, who repeatedly cupped his hands:

"Indeed, Fellow Daoist Lin from Rising Sun Island, in collusion with Ten Thousand Buddha Island, poached our Blood Cultivation Sect's Secret Realm, causing us to be unable to hand over the Spirit Medicine!"

As he spoke, the blood-eyed Cultivator took out a silver mirror and shone it forward, revealing scene after scene. Lin Shiming, dressed in a light green Daoist robe, was seen picking Spirit Medicine from the Spirit Herb Garden.

Lin Shiming's expression darkened considerably at these images, because it was a Spirit Herb Garden, and he had not harvested any Spirit Medicine below three thousand years, precisely to avoid leaving any traces that could lead to discovery and make it difficult to explain the whereabouts of these Spirit Medicine.

After all, if he harvested Spirit Medicine below three thousand years alone, and they weren't in his Storage Pouch, where would they be?

He hadn't expected the blood-eyed Cultivator to capture these signs.

As soon as these words were spoken, Real Person Xuri's expression immediately changed, but he didn't look at Lin Shiming. Instead, he waved his hand, telling Lin Shiming to stand behind him.

Then he looked at Lanling True Person and Golden Thunder Zhenren (Golden Thunder True Person):

"Lanling, Senior Brother Golden Thunder, what is the meaning of this?"

His inquiry was naturally directed at Golden Thunder Zhenren (Golden Thunder True Person). Lanling True Person was already at odds with him, so he didn't need to ask, and the other party was only a Middle Stage Golden Core Cultivator like him.

But Golden Thunder Zhenren (Golden Thunder True Person) was different!

Golden Thunder Zhenren (Golden Thunder True Person) did not speak in response, but his posture was as unmoving as a pine, and the calm expression on his face explained everything.

He was siding with Lanling True Person.

Golden Thunder Zhenren (Golden Thunder True Person) now wanted to advance to the Peak Golden Core stage, only lacking some Spirit Medicine.

The Purple Mansion Cultivator of Golden Thunder Island had indeed gained a lot, but it wasn't enough. They had more Golden Core Cultivator on Golden Thunder Island than on Rising Sun Island.

Moreover, in his opinion, Lanling True Person was not wrong!

It was fine for Ten Thousand Buddha Island and the Blood Cultivation Sect to attack each other, but the Blood Cultivation Sect's Secret Realm was stolen by Lin Shiming, and the Spirit Medicine were also stolen.

This was Lin Shiming's fault.

Lanling True Person also had a wide grin:

"Fellow Daoist Xuri, the Blood Cultivation Sect and our Coral Alliance are in a cooperative relationship. If this footage gets out, it will surely discourage them. A Mid Purple Mansion Realm Cultivator has learned to poach..."

Of course, none of them expected that Lin Shiming not only took the Spirit Medicine but also killed the Cultivator.

They only thought Lin Shiming was poaching.

After all, it was impossible for a Mid Purple Mansion Realm Cultivator to snatch treasures from a Peak Purple Mansion Cultivator.

Even surviving would be an issue. Lin Shiming had Realm Breaking Talisman, and those Peak Purple Mansion Cultivator also had them.

Lin Shiming was also a bit nervous at this moment. Lanling True Person was comparable to Real Person Xuri, and Golden Thunder Zhenren (Golden Thunder True Person) was indeed much stronger than Real Person Xuri.

He was even already thinking about when to release the Yan Yang Sword to lead the escape.

The Realm Breaking Talisman in his palm was clutched so tightly that cold sweat began to emerge.

He hadn't placed all his hopes on Real Person Xuri; he even worried whether Real Person Xuri would capture him and hand him over.

However, it was clear that Lin Shiming was overthinking.

Real Person Xuri had no intention of backing down at this moment. He waved away the spirit Formation and looked directly at Blood Coral Immortal Master, the leader of Coral Island.

"Senior Brother Blood Coral, is this Coral Alliance still the Coral Alliance?" Real Person Xuri no longer cared about making a big fuss at this point.

"My Disciple died, eight out of ten Cultivator died, and the Cultivator of Ten Thousand Buddha Island did not even develop their own Secret Realm. Now Lanling and Senior Brother Golden Thunder want to seize my Spirit Medicine!"

"Then I ask Senior Brother to witness, today I will decide the victor with Lanling True Person and even Golden Thunder Zhenren (Golden Thunder True Person)!"

Real Person Xuri's stubbornness surprised everyone. He was only short of those Spirit Medicine to reach the Late Golden Core Stage.

A large beast tide would erupt soon, and at this moment, he was not afraid of offending Golden Thunder Zhenren (Golden Thunder True Person).

As for Lanling, he was even less afraid.

They had been old rivals for many years.

The Coral Alliance had a vast number of subordinate forces, and the twelve major inner islands were certainly not a monolithic entity. They were able to gather together and form one of the six major powers because of the large number of Golden Core Cultivator in the Coral Alliance, not because they were united in purpose.

The leader of the Coral Alliance was also happy to see this competitive state. A stagnant force would not easily withstand the beast tide.

However, this time, Blood Coral Immortal Master was in a difficult situation. There was no established convention for subordinate Secret Realm cave heavens, but everyone implicitly understood the situation.

There were naturally loopholes in this, and Golden Thunder Zhenren (Golden Thunder True Person) was definitely among the top five in the twelve inner islands, which he had to consider.

In the distance, on Tianliu Island, Immortal Yulin and Fu Ling Xianzi (Fuling Immortal) all looked at Tian Liu True Person.

"Revered Master, he saved my life!" Fu Ling Xianzi (Fuling Immortal) muttered, lowering her head.

As a Disciple, she couldn't ask Tian Liu True Person at this moment.

She just didn't want Shiming to get into trouble.

Tian Liu True Person didn't speak. Although she had formed an alliance with Real Person Xuri, it was only within the Secret Realm.

"Revered Master!" At this moment, Loose Cultivator Yu Lin also called out.

Tian Liu True Person looked at the latter with some surprise, then nodded.

Taking her two Disciples, she also stepped forward.

"It seems there's no such thing as 'belonging' or 'not belonging' within the Ziyang Secret Realm, is there?" Tian Liu True Person's light words, however, brought unexpected joy to Real Person Xuri.

He hadn't expected Tian Liu True Person to stand up and speak for him. One must know that Tian Liu True Person was also in the Late Golden Core Stage, an existence no less powerful than Golden Thunder Immortal Master!

At this moment, Loose Cultivator Guanghao's face was the most unsightly. Shiming had first stolen his thunder, but fortunately, the other party had provoked Lanling True Person and Golden Thunder Immortal Master.

Now, it seemed that Loose Cultivator Yu Lin and Fu Ling Xianzi (Fuling Immortal), the two Fairies with Golden Core potential from Tianliu Island, wanted to protect Shiming.

How could he possibly have a good expression?

At this moment, Lanling True Person's expression also changed drastically. Tian Liu True Person was not someone he could provoke. He couldn't help but look at Golden Thunder Immortal Master, whose expression remained calm, but his sword-like eyebrow slightly furrowed.

Real Person Xueshan walked to the front at this moment, but he didn't speak. He also felt a headache coming on.

"Lanling, a life-and-death duel, are you in or not?" Seeing this, Real Person Xuri became even less afraid. His spirit was like clouds, his eyes like torches. At this moment, it was as if he wanted to vent all the grievances from the many Cultivators who had fallen before.

Lanling True Person trembled instantly, but in the end, he didn't agree.

The Spirit Medicine's benefits were one thing, but Real Person Xuri's reputation was also significant. If he were truly forced to act, he naturally wouldn't want to.

And seeing this scene, Golden Thunder Immortal Master, without a word, turned and left!

"Xuri, Lanling, the Secret Realm matter will naturally conclude when the Secret Realm ends. For now, we still need to prepare for the beast tide!" Real Person Xueshan said after Golden Thunder Immortal Master left.

"Yes, Alliance Leader!" Lanling True Person also turned around and said no more. Failing to catch the sheep and instead stirring up trouble also made him too ashamed to stay.

"Thank you, Alliance Leader, for your fairness!" Real Person Xuri quickly waved his hand towards Real Person Xueshan.

Real Person Xueshan's strength was still above Golden Thunder Immortal Master and Tian Liu True Person.

Finally, he thanked Tian Liu True Person.

Tian Liu True Person also nodded.

Shiming also stepped out at this moment. He knew that, at the Secret Realm, he had passed this hurdle.

"Thank you, Tian Liu True Person, Senior Real Person Xuri, and also thank you, Alliance Leader!" Shiming thanked them.

At this moment, Tian Liu True Person surprisingly spoke:

"You should thank my two Disciples. However, you also saved Fuling, so it evens out!"

"Thank you, two Fairies!" Shiming also waved his hand again. He hadn't expected that an accidental act would lead to Fu Ling Xianzi (Fuling Immortal) and Loose Cultivator Yu Lin speaking up for him.

Thinking of what he had done on the island, even he couldn't help but blush.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you're too kind. If you have time another day, you must come to Tianliu Island for a visit. At that time, this little girl will still need to thank Fellow Daoist Lin for saving her life!" Fu Ling Xianzi (Fuling Immortal) couldn't help but say.

Although Loose Cultivator Yu Lin next to her didn't speak, she also nodded, indicating an invitation.

If Fu Ling Xianzi (Fuling Immortal) was the sweet and obedient type, then Loose Cultivator Yu Lin was the cold and noble type.

This scene, with the two famous Fairies of Tianliu Island inviting Shiming together, caused many Cultivators to be filled with envy.

Loose Cultivator Guanghao nearby was practically breathing fire from his eyes.

"If I have time, I will definitely visit the two Fairies and Senior Tian Liu at Tianliu Island!" Shiming nodded in reply.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they all dispersed. Real Person Xuri and Real Person Hongye also showed joy, taking Shiming's Storage Pouch and finding that the Spirit Medicine inside Shiming's Storage Pouch was indeed as Shiming had said.

Moreover, there was even a six-thousand-year-old plant among them.

They all smiled:

"Shiming, you did very well this time. Tianxiang Island can be exempted from sixty years of mission requirements, plus six purple zenith sandalwood, and you can choose a top-grade Magic Treasure from the Family treasury, and a bottle of Ziyun Pills!" Real Person Xuri, in his great joy, also promised a generous reward.

"Here's the purple zenith sandalwood. The Magic Treasure will be given to you at Rising Sun Island!" Real Person Xuri tossed over a Storage Pouch.

The Spirit Medicine Shiming brought, even their own controlled Secret Realm might not be able to produce.

After all, the Ziyang Secret Realm opened once every ten years.

Therefore, he wouldn't be stingy with the reward!

Shiming took the Storage Pouch and repeatedly expressed his thanks.

Real Person Xuri and Real Person Hongye also turned and left, entering the prepared room within the spirit boat... After entering the room in the spirit boat, after the joy subsided, Real Person Hongye spoke with some concern:

"Should we use a Soul Questioning Talisman to inquire?"

The joy of the Spirit Medicine ended, and she also calmed down. Shiming's matter was truly a bit strange.

A Hidden Family for three hundred years, suddenly appearing, and already at the Mid Purple Mansion Realm.

Then he suddenly killed Purple Jade Sanren, occupied Tianxiang Island, and then in the Secret Realm, stole the Spirit Medicine from the Blood Cultivation Sect's Secret Realm.

There were many questions in this.

Upon careful consideration, there were many details.

"No need. Shiming has made a great contribution, Tianxiang Island has made a great contribution. We cannot dampen the hearts of those who have rendered meritorious service. Besides, only two people are left this time, and then the nine outer island defense Systems of Rising Sun Island will weaken!" Real Person Xuri shook his head and replied with certainty.

Then he also handed Real Person Hongye's share of the Spirit Medicine to the back.

"Let's go to the center of the cabin. Senior Brother Hongshan should have some arrangements. It's estimated that Ziyang Island will need to be submerged to the bottom of the sea and hidden again!"

The two Daoists headed towards the center of the cabin!

...Outside the ship, as the two Immortal Masters left, Loose Cultivator Guanghao also snorted coldly.

Then he walked towards the Tianliu Island faction where Tian Liu True Person was.

Shiming's eyes also turned cold at this moment. He, who had no feelings for Loose Cultivator Guanghao, had already developed a killing intent.

He didn't care if the other party was trying to prove himself in front of Fairy Yulin, but as long as it was unfavorable to him, he would nip this threat in the bud.

After contemplating, Shiming also walked towards a corner of the ship.

Those Immortal Masters had now gone into the cabin to discuss, presumably about the beast tide and Ziyang Island.

Since Ziyang Island had been discovered, it would not be so convenient for the Cultivators of the Coral Alliance to come here for Spirit Medicine in the future. They might even have to find a way to destroy the Teleportation Array.

To prevent those Yao Kings from using it.

Shiming was somewhat curious about this, wondering what countermeasures the Coral Alliance would have.

Since this Secret Realm was in the Outer Sea and had not been discovered by Yao Beasts for so many years, the Coral Alliance must have some means.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you're quite lucky!" Just then, a voice came from behind Shiming. Shiming was startled for a moment, then looked at the speaker.

He saw the latter wearing a grayish-white Daoist robe, with a somewhat thin figure, but a face full of smiles.

This smile was somewhat familiar to him, a bit like his Thirtieth Uncle, Lin Houyuan, clearly a thorough merchant.

Except one was thin, the other fat.

"I am Cheng Mu from Thousand Machine Island." The grayish-white Daoist Robe Cultivator spoke.

"Hello, Fellow Daoist Cheng, but I'm curious, what do you mean by 'good luck'?" Shiming was somewhat displeased.

He had just been surrounded, which was extremely dangerous.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, do you not know Fairy Yulin?" Cheng Mu couldn't help but ask.

Shiming also shook his head.

"Fairy Yulin's father is the first Golden Core Loose Cultivator in the Coral Sea Area, a Late Golden Core Stage Hidden Family mighty figure. He once declared that whoever could marry Fairy Yulin would receive a Core Formation Pill as a dowry!"

"Not to mention, Fairy Yulin is also one of Tian Liu True Person's two Disciples, a Genius Cultivator with an Ice Spiritual Root!"

"Fellow Daoist, do you understand what I mean by 'good luck' now?" Cheng Mu spoke slowly, a smile on his face.

Only then did Shiming somewhat understand Loose Cultivator Guanghao's little actions: a Core Formation Pill as a dowry, and a powerful background.

Coupled with Loose Cultivator Yu Lin's beauty, it was indeed enough to make many Cultivators lose their heads.

After all, they were all Cultivators, and already in the Purple Mansion Realm. How many would not consider themselves peerless geniuses?

"I only met Loose Cultivator Yu Lin once, Fellow Daoist Cheng, it's best not to spread rumors!" Shiming shook his head.

"Fu Ling Xianzi (Fuling Immortal) also has dual Spiritual Roots, and her beauty and talent are complete..."

"Fellow Daoist Cheng, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Lin doesn't like beating around the bush!" Shiming interrupted Cheng Mu.

He naturally had little interest in Fu Ling Xianzi (Fuling Immortal) and Loose Cultivator Yu Lin.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, may I exchange a Mid Stage Fourth Rank Puppet for one of your purple zenith sandalwood?"
