390: Four Colors Demonic Beast Inner Elixir (Happy New Year)

Lin Shiming put away the Four-Headed Snake's corpse, a pained expression still on his face.

He knew that each use of the Yan Yang Sword consumed a five-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine.

And currently, his five-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicines were dwindling with each use.

However, thinking that this Four-Headed Snake was a pseudo-Demon King and its essence blood could be refined into Heavenly Beast Pills, becoming his new trump card, he felt a little more at ease.

There were also four Yao Beast inner cores; two had been swallowed whole by Wang Jiao and naturally couldn't be recovered. The Yao Beast inner core from the Red-haired Demon Monkey's burning also appeared somewhat dim.

Its effect was not significant, but if a snake-type Yao Beast were to advance to a Dragon in the future, it could serve as assistance.

Only the four-colored Yao Beast inner core he had finally collected was extremely valuable.

Its luster was even close to that of a Golden Core.

It could even be given to Wang Jiao to consume and break through to the fifth rank, although the effect wouldn't be particularly great, a Breakthrough itself was a matter of life and death.

After storing the corpse, Lin Shiming looked at the Red-haired Demon Monkey. The Red-haired Demon Monkey was still vigorously wielding the Heavenly Demon Staff, jumping and leaping about.

Even so, it still carried over the remaining half of the roasted Spirit Snake egg and wouldn't let anyone else near it.

It used both hands and feet, as if telling others that it had roasted this Spirit Egg.

Lin Shiming also put away the Red-haired Demon Monkey, and the Spirit Egg also belonged to him.

Red-haired had only eaten a small portion, but it was already too much for it to digest, so the rest had to be stored.

Lin Shiming couldn't help but worry about Wang Jiao.

Wang Jiao had swallowed two Nine-Headed Serpent Clones entirely. Each Clone's Spirit Egg contained terrifying True Essence.

Even though Wang Jiao belonged to the Jiaolong Clan and was of a higher life-level than the Nine-Headed Serpent, the wails coming from its Divine Soul still made him extremely worried.

He came to the underground hall, which was already in chaos, having been completely overturned by Wang Jiao's Dragon tail.

It coiled by the wall, curled up, its Dragon eyes drooping, its body emitting a black Spirit Light that flickered on and off.

This made Lin Shiming anxious. He knew that Wang Jiao could no longer suppress the True Essence within its body.

After all, that True Essence did not belong to it.

And Wang Jiao was only an Early Violet Palace Stage Great Demon.

"Melee!" Lin Shiming immediately realized, just like the Red-haired jumping and leaping, wielding the Heavenly Demon Staff that he usually couldn't wield much.

Only through melee combat and spellcasting could the True Essence be completely consumed.

Upon hearing Lin Shiming's words, Wang Jiao's body suddenly shot forward, charging towards Lin Shiming.

The unique melee combat technique of the Dragon, terrifying speed, extreme attack.

Lin Shiming also had to activate the Starlight Body Tempering Art to resist.

They continuously clashed.

At this moment, even Lin Shiming, a Mid Purple Mansion Realm Body Cultivator, was subtly no match for Wang Jiao without Magical Artifacts, especially its third claw, which was even more terrifying than a High Grade Magic Treasure crescent moon guard blade.

Moreover, Lin Shiming even had a misconception that the third claw was growing longer and sharper.

"Second Uncle, set up a concealment Formation and a protective island Formation on Ten Thousand Snake Island, covering a thousand li of the nearby sea, and also, fully pursue and kill the Duan Family and Cheng Family cultivators!" While fighting, Lin Shiming also arranged for Lin Houshou in the distance. The largest Nine-Headed Serpent pseudo-Demon King on Ten Thousand Snake Island had already been slain.

Other Yao Beasts couldn't harm Lin Houshou and the others.

The hidden Cultivators of the Duan Family and Cheng Family posed even less of a threat.

Most of the Duan Family Cultivators had fallen into the mouths of the red snakes, while the Cheng Family cultivators had fled early, concealing many Cultivators. The Lin Family had also dispatched some Cultivators to pursue them.

However, on this island, the Cheng Family's Cultivators stationed there were not strong, as the Duan Family had prepared for them.

About a quarter of an hour later, the Lin Family Cultivators who had been pursuing returned.

All the Cultivators were somewhat excited. Both Lin Shiming's strength and the Yan Yang Sword behind the Lin Family shocked them.

Previously, they had only heard legends of the Yan Yang Sword in the Sword Pavilion but had never witnessed it, nor did they know that the other party possessed Golden Core strength.

Thus, it seemed their Lin Family was a true Golden Core power.

Lin Shiming's combat skills, fighting against a Dragon, were also of great help to Body Cultivators, and the Lin Family's Body Cultivators were all watching.

Spell Cultivators, on the other hand, seemed a bit idle.

After all, they didn't practice Body Refining and couldn't engage in close combat with opponents.

Even if they learned those few techniques, if they were approached without sufficient physique and speed, it would be useless.

After most of the day, having consumed a portion of its True Essence, Wang Jiao again sent out Divine Soul fluctuations indicating a desire to sleep.

Lin Shiming also nodded and brought the latter into the Grotto-heaven World.

Wang Jiao's endurance should be greater than the Red-haired Demon Monkey's, and it should be able to absorb more, but absorbing two was too strenuous.

However, Lin Shiming couldn't intervene now. He could only instruct the Wood Demon to provide some five-colored star spirit floss to Wang Jiao if it needed it.

During his trip to the Ziyang Secret Realm, Lin Shiming had also obtained a good amount of fifth-rank spirit soil and fifth-rank spirit water, which could produce a lot of five-colored star spirit floss for the Star Spirit Shell.

At this moment, he naturally wouldn't be stingy.

After dealing with the Star Spirit Shell, Lin Shiming flew high into the sky again.

"The spoils of war will follow the usual principles. Furthermore, everyone must keep silent about today's events. Violators will be dealt with according to Family rules!" Lin Shiming spoke with authority.

At this moment, he was not the same as when he first became the Family head seventy years ago.

Now, he exuded seasoned authority. When his eyes swept across, even Purple Mansion Loose Cultivator nodded, his expression solemn, not daring to slight him.

As for the other Lin Family disciples, it was naturally even more so.

"Additionally, everyone has half a month to mine the Spirit Snake eggs and Spirit Medicine resources of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave!"

"The spoils of war principle remains the same. You can mine as much as you can!"

"The Family will purchase it all at 70% of the market price!" Lin Shiming added.

His Divine Sense fell into the Ten Thousand Snake Cave. Below the Ten Thousand Snake Cave was a fourth-rank top-grade Spiritual Vein, suppressed by a Formation, entering nine halls that stored the Nine-Headed Serpent Clone Spirit Eggs.

Around and above the halls, countless Spirit Snake eggs were also being nurtured.

The hatching effect of these Spirit Snake eggs was not good, because previously, the entire Spiritual Vein was almost entirely used for the Nine-Headed Serpent Demon King's healing.

It was unclear whether those Spirit Eggs were descendants of the Nine-Headed Serpent.

But it was certain that they were for the Nine-Headed Serpent's recovery and protection.

This state of the Spirit Eggs should not be disturbed; premature hatching would greatly reduce their power.

Lin Shiming couldn't even withstand a single move from a normal Demon King.

However, for Lin Shiming, none of this was important. What was important was how many Spirit Snake eggs the Lin Family could take away.

The beast tide was approaching, and the Lin Family would inevitably have to abandon Ten Thousand Snake Island in the future. Even their Spirit Turtle Island might have to be abandoned then.

The nurtured Spirit Turtles and Spirit Fish would all have to be relocated near Shuangmu Island.

The Lin Family only had one Golden Core Spirit Cultivator, and only Shuangmu Island was relatively close to Tianxiang Island.

As for Fangmu Island, which had a Teleportation Array leading to the Eastern Region, the Lin Family might also abandon it when the beast tide arrived.

Only Shuangmu Island and Tianxiang Island would form a defensive pincer.

After all, Tianxiang Island would receive support from Rising Sun Island, and at that time, Tianxiang Island would definitely have a Golden Core True Person guarding it.

Time was pressing. They needed to utilize the enthusiasm of the Family Cultivators to empty as many Spirit Snake eggs as possible.

By then, the Lin Family would also be known for controlling snake-type Yao Beasts.

They could even extensively purchase talented snake-type Yao Beast cubs or Spirit Snake eggs throughout the Coral Sea Area.

Thus, the Jiaolong Nest could also fully display its capabilities.

By the time Nine Dragon Island discovered them, perhaps the Lin Family would already have several Golden Core Cultivators and several Golden Core Dragons.

Even within the Coral Alliance, the Lin Family could occupy a certain position.

Then they would fear nothing else.

As for the retaliation of the Jiaolong Clan, Lin Shiming was even less concerned. The Coral Alliance and the Jiaolong Clan were mortal enemies, with no possibility of reconciliation.

Even if other sea regions of the Six Great Sea Regions colluded with the Yao Race, the Coral Sea Area and Chilan Sea Area would not.

Years of beast tides and continuous warfare had long made the high-ranking officials of the two forces irreconcilable.

In the distance, as layers of transparent ripple-like Spirit Light slowly covered the entire island like water patterns.

The Formation on the island was finally completed.

Lin Houshou's Formation Dao talent, with the resolution of the blood cultivation hidden danger, seemed to have risen slightly again.

Now, when he deployed Formations, they were all fourth-rank Formation Plates, and he had added many of his own refined third-rank Formations, creating Formations within Formations.

An ordinary Early Violet Palace Stage Cultivator might not even be able to discover them.

The other Cultivators of the Lin Family, after sorting and registering their gains, also headed towards the Ten Thousand Snake Cave to dig.

Lin Shiming and Purple Mansion Cultivators like Lin Shijie could ignore these Spirit Beast eggs, but Foundation Establishment Cultivators could not. Some of these Spirit Snake eggs, although their talent might not reach the fourth rank, reaching the third rank would be a great help.

After all, sea snake Yao Beasts, in the South Sea Cultivation World, could fight in the sea and also possessed considerable power on land.

Even those Spirit Beast eggs with slightly less potential could be sold to the Family for those Qi Refining Cultivators.

After all, the Lin Family had relatively few Sea Cloud Birds, and many Cultivators still used clumsy Mystic Spirit Turtles as Spirit Beasts.

At worst, they could be made into a Spirit Cuisine.

However, in that case, it would be more difficult for the Lin Family to build an influential snake-controlling Family.

Lin Shiming and Purple Mansion Cultivators like Purple Mansion Loose Cultivator found an Immortal Cave nearby and began to slowly recover their True Essence.

Recovering with a fourth-rank top-grade Spiritual Vein was much faster than with High-Grade Spirit Stones.

Lin Shiming was hesitant about how to take the Spiritual Vein away but then learned that Purple Mansion Loose Cultivator was also a Spirit Seeker.

Lin Shiming was naturally surprised by this but then understood. As Loose Cultivators, they generally had some knowledge of the four major arts.

After all, they had no help from a Family, and everything had to rely on themselves.

Of course, the difficulty for them to obtain Legacies was greater, and it was also harder for them to achieve success in their arts.

Purple Mansion Loose Cultivator being able to become one of the top ten Purple Mansion Daoists in the Eastern Region naturally had his Opportunities and his extraordinary qualities.

After confirming that someone would collect the Spiritual Vein, Lin Shiming also felt relieved and made up his mind that other arts could be ignored, but if he had time, he should learn the profession of a Spirit Seeker.

Spirit Seekers were not as complex as Alchemists, Artifact Refiners, Formation Masters, or Talisman Masters. Practicing it was more similar to a Spirit Plant Master.

It wouldn't take much time.

The Kui Wood Sword Scripture was continuously cultivated, and pure True Essence flowed within his body, passing through his Purple Mansion and through the sword dao seed.

It generated Sword Essence and nourished the Taiyi Sword Grass.

Although the current Taiyi Sword Grass was not as good as Lin Shiming's other treasured swords, in terms of potential, the Taiyi Sword Grass far surpassed top-grade Magical Artifact Flying Swords.

As long as Lin Shiming continued to nurture it, its power would definitely be extraordinary.

Lin Shiming swallowed a few more healing Medicinal Pills. His Storage Pouch was already nearly empty, making him miss Lin Shitao.

He had bid farewell to Seventh Grand Uncle before going to the Ziyang Secret Realm, but he had not said goodbye to Lin Shitao.

Lin Shiming was a little worried but then shook his head and swallowed the Spirit Pill.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the entire Ten Thousand Snake Cave had undergone a great transformation. Many Cultivators from the Lin Family had come, and most of them were Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivators.

The efficiency of digging for Spirit Snake eggs was much higher than that of the vanguard arranged by the Duan Family and Cheng Family.

Moreover, the latter were also very cautious, worried about Great Demons beneath the Ten Thousand Snake Cave.

The Lin Family did not need to be so concerned.

According to statistics, the Lin Family had harvested over four thousand Spirit Snake eggs.

However, whether there were any special Spirit Snakes among them would only be known after they hatched.

Everyone was beaming with smiles. Ten Thousand Snake Island was not just a snake cave Spirit Island; it also contained many Spirit Medicines, being a fourth-rank top-grade Spiritual Vein after all.

Lin Shiming didn't say much but watched Purple Mansion Loose Cultivator take out a Spirit Seeking Compass and begin to seek and capture spirits.

Before long, a Dragon roar was heard, and a Dragon shadow flew into the Spirit Seeking Compass. Immense Spiritual Qi came and went.

The entire transplant was quite smooth.

As soon as the Spiritual Vein was transplanted, the Spirit Seeking Compass also fell into Lin Shiming's hand.

Along with it was a Hidden Sky Net. The Hidden Sky Net was the least damaged, and Purple Mansion Loose Cultivator had also re-refined and restored the Magic Treasure during this half-month.

Lin Shiming was extremely pleased with Purple Mansion Loose Cultivator's change and thanked him profusely:

"Thank you, Elder Jiuxiao!"

After the Spiritual Vein was collected, the Lin Family took out a fourth-rank top-grade purple wind boat and headed towards Shuangmu Island with the Lin Family members.

Before leaving, Lin Shiming even let the Red-haired Demon Monkey wreak havoc with the Heavenly Demon Staff and Yuan Magnetic Seal.

Lin Shiming couldn't guarantee whether those Demon Kings had Magical Artifacts that could record images, but after his trip to the Ziyang Secret Realm, he became even more cautious.

During the return journey across the sea, Lin Shiming's brows furrowed even tighter.

Along the way, the number of Purple Mansion Great Demons and Foundation Establishment Yao Beasts had increased, and the beast tide was getting closer and closer. In his opinion, it might not even take twenty years!

Of course, along this journey, Lin Shiming also replenished the Purple Mansion Great Demons controlled by the Spirit Control Seal for Purple Mansion Loose Cultivator and Lin Shijie.

The previous Azure Armor Crab and Centipede Purple Mansion Great Demons had already been killed.

Now that there were available fighting forces, Lin Shiming naturally wouldn't refuse them.

Moreover, he himself had kept two Sword-toothed Shark Purple Mansion Great Demons, both at the Middle Stage of the fourth rank.

Once the blood burst pill was refined, these Sword-toothed Sharks could also play a significant role at critical moments.

Half a month later, as an island and several Sub-islands appeared in the distance, Shuangmu Island also came into view of the purple wind boat.

On the island, at this moment, an unusually large number of Cultivators were constantly flying in and out, more hurried than before. Their Lin Family uniforms were covered in blood, indicating fierce combat, which made Lin Shiming's expression tighten.

The Lin Family's demon hunting team hadn't been this large before.

"Grand Uncle!" The leading Cultivator was Lin Yuqing, of the Lin Family's Yu generation.
