432: Nourishing mind and condensing gold elixir (two-in-one thanks to Dark Night Star 200 for the reward)

At the Lin Family Restaurant, surging Spiritual Qi wafted upwards, and a High Grade Fourth-Order Spirit Cuisine emitted a rich fragrance.

However, neither of the two people sitting opposite each other paid any attention to the Spirit Cuisine.

At this moment, Lin Shiming was completely shocked, not just because of the Innate Spirit Treasure. He had heard Nine Leaves Zhenren and the Nine Spirits Pagoda mention this matter in the ruins of the Qingxuan Sect that day.

But rather, that Innate Spirit Treasure was actually inside the Cloud Palace.

One must know, he currently possessed a Cloud Palace token.

Of course, at this moment, he dared not inquire too much. After all, he was currently a Purple Mansion Cultivator, and even with the Yan Yang Sword, his strength was not stable.

As for tension, Lin Shiming did not feel any.

Immortal Master Kuangfeng's two consecutive probes had already shown him enough goodwill.

Moreover, Immortal Master Kuangfeng still owed him two opportunities to act.

Coupled with the System's prompts, it also put his mind at ease.

But he also knew that sometimes, he still needed to keep some trump cards.

“So, if possible, I hope to borrow your Teleportation Array at that time. You will also have a few more allies when you go to the Cloud Palace!”

“However, I still have to advise you not to have too many ideas about the Innate Spirit Treasure inside the Cloud Palace. At that time, you can look for more treasures to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm. At that Realm, there will no longer be any restrictions!” Immortal Master Kuangfeng continued, his words extremely certain.

Lin Shiming even suspected that Immortal Master Kuangfeng had been to the Eastern Region.

“Thank you, Senior, for clarifying!” Although he was puzzled, Lin Shiming still cupped his hands and thanked him repeatedly.

He was extremely happy to borrow the Teleportation Array. Immortal Master Kuangfeng's consistent goodwill could even help the Lin Family seek revenge in the future!

Returning to Fangmu Mountain in the Eastern Region, or even directly occupying the currently unoccupied Qingxuan Mountain!

As for the latter's suggestion, he did not believe it to be false. Many knew about Innate Spirit Treasures, and he estimated that many old monsters would appear at that time.

Since his Golden Core was not yet formed, he naturally wouldn't think of biting off more than he could chew.

It would be beneficial to go to the Tai Bai Sword Palace. Whether it was the previous Taiyi Sword Grass's help to him, or the Sword Ascent Ladder, both could greatly benefit the Lin Family!

“The Dragon Seeking Cuisine has been tasted, now try this Willow Bank, which is famous throughout Tianliu Island!” Immortal Master Kuangfeng also seemed very satisfied with this conversation and took out a wooden wine pot.

Judging by its material, it seemed to be made of willow wood.

The wine pot poured out a pot of wine, but only three drops of liquid fell into the cup.

Immortal Master Kuangfeng picked up the cup and carefully handed it to Lin Shiming.

Lin Shiming glanced at Immortal Master Kuangfeng, and seeing the other party smiling at him, he didn't hesitate and drank it in one gulp.

After drinking the spirit wine, he only felt a terrifying true essence invade his body.

Moreover, these wine liquids, like Sword Qi, darted wildly within his body.

In a trance, Lin Shiming only felt as if he was in a Willow Bank, with ripples in the lake and willows swaying in the wind.

And each sway was like a sword strike!

This sword strike was also like the ones he had seen Tian Liu True Person continuously unleash a few days ago.

There was Sword Intent in this wine!

What made Lin Shiming recall the swordsmanship from that day even more was that many incomprehensible aspects suddenly became clear.

Although there were differences between Sword Intent and Sword Intent, Tian Liu True Person's sword moves and styles were also helpful to Lin Shiming!

At this moment, Lin Shiming even felt that the fourth sword of the Great Evolution Sword Style was faintly appearing in his mind.

This appearance made him even more excited.

The Great Evolution Sword Style originated from the Taiyi Sword Grass. The third move was already his trump card. If he could comprehend it again, his strength would rise to another level!

Lin Shiming's body paused.

Immortal Master Kuangfeng also poured two drops of wine for himself and drank it on his own.

The wine made Immortal Master Kuangfeng's face flush, and the Dragon Seeking Cuisine made him look oily and radiant.

Finally, he sat on the stool, looking at Lin Shiming.

He couldn't help but murmur:

“This kid really makes one want to give him a Core Formation Pill!”

Immortal Master Kuangfeng then seemed to think of something else, shook his head, and continued to take out wine and drink two sips.

After drinking, he walked out of the room, leaving Lin Shiming in the room.

Seeing this, Lin Shiming let go of his last trace of Mental Energy and began to fully recall the few sword strikes Tian Liu True Person had made back then.

A few thoughts of cultivation also emerged in his mind.

This spirit wine was obviously brewed by Tian Liu True Person, and it also gathered her Sword Intent.

Those with profound Sword Dao Realm would mostly forge their own path, accumulating and improving their Sword Intent over time.

Some forged iron for thirty years, forging and nurturing their swords, improving with each strike.

Others carried a sword for three hundred years, never separating from it for a moment, and with each passing moment, the Sword Intent in their chest grew stronger!

Tian Liu True Person, on the other hand, drank her own brewed sword wine.

With each sip, the Sword Lake in her chest grew by an inch, and during combat, her Sword Intent would flow like a vast willow lake, endlessly.

As for Lin Shiming, he also had his own method. Within his body, there was a sword dao seed, currently with two and a half leaves. For each additional leaf he sprouted, his Sword Intent would become three parts more exquisite.

It was just that he hadn't stimulated it before.

Now it seemed that the Sword Nurturing Art, obtained from True Person Zixuan of the Qingxuan Sect, still needed to be diligently cultivated at all times.

This cup of wine made Lin Shiming stay in that room for a whole day. When he came out again, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

His eyes were clear, and his understanding of the sword had deepened by a few points.

At the same time, he also knew that he owed Tian Liu True Person twice!

Lin Shiming couldn't help but shake his head. If the Sword Intent in this wine fell into the hands of others, it could potentially reveal the weaknesses of Tian Liu True Person's Sword Intent.

So, this favor was no less significant than the previous one.

Lin Shiming also guessed that Tian Liu True Person had offered guidance because she saw that he was also at the Sword Genesis Myriad Laws Realm.

As for her other intentions?

He didn't know and couldn't fathom, but Immortal Master Kuangfeng's shadow was definitely in it.

He left the pavilion, intending to return to Purple Jade Mountain, but what he didn't expect was another Divine Sense transmission.

Lin Shiming's body paused, but in the end, he decided to go.

Soon, he arrived at a small, desolate mountain.

On the mountain, there was only a simple soundproof barrier, which even a Purple Mansion Cultivator could forcefully break through.

As for Formations, Lin Shiming scanned them and found not a single one.

He also breathed a sigh of relief.

And from the mountain, a middle-aged man walked out.

“Senior Baiyu!” Lin Shiming still cupped his hands. Although he didn't like Immortal Master Baiyu, who had used a Soul Questioning Talisman on him that day.

And at this moment, Lin Shiming's System prompt also sounded:

【Please exchange a Fifth-Order Wind 蛟 Yao Beast Core for a Core Formation Pill Pill Formula!】

Lin Shiming's heart immediately filled with joy. He hadn't expected that he had been worrying that even if the Lin Family obtained ningjin fruit, they wouldn't have the Pill Formula!

Now, Immortal Master Baiyu was actually exchanging a Yao Beast Core with him!

This was truly Lin Shiming's second joy of the day!

After a brief thought, he immediately understood that when Immortal Master Baihu died, a Fifth-Order White Jiao also died with him.

The best way for White Dragon Island to quickly improve its strength was to cultivate another Jiaolong Clan Yao King.

And a Fifth-Order Yao Beast Core was the only choice.

Although he wasn't the only one to obtain a Fifth-Order Yao Beast Core, he was the only Purple Mansion Cultivator.

However, he also knew that such a good thing was the result of him demonstrating his strength.

Without the Yan Yang Sword, even if he had a Fifth-Order Jiaolong Clan Yao Beast Core, the other party's first thought would be how to kill him.

And not to trade with him in such a covert yet not covert manner at this time.

“No need to keep calling me Senior. Fellow Daoist Lin, at such a young age, is already at the Purple Mansion Late Stage. He will eventually be one of us. If you don't mind, just call me Big Brother Bai!” Immortal Master Baiyu invited Lin Shiming to sit down.

He also prepared spirit tea and Spirit Cuisine.

However, after having Immortal Master Kuangfeng's spirit wine and Spirit Cuisine, he really didn't think much of Immortal Master Baiyu's Spirit Cuisine.

Immortal Master Baiyu introduced himself very enthusiastically, and Lin Shiming nodded repeatedly.

After drinking a sip of spirit tea, Lin Shiming even praised the spirit tea, his face immersed in it.

“Thanks to Senior Bai, Junior is also fortunate enough to taste High Grade Fourth-Order spirit tea!”

“Fellow Daoist Lin is still too polite. A mere Fourth-Order spirit tea is not worth mentioning!” Immortal Master Baiyu said with a smile, as if Lin Shiming's praise made him full of confidence.

“Fellow Daoist Lin, I won't beat around the bush. I want to trade those two Fifth-Order Wind 蛟 inner cores with Fellow Daoist Lin!” Immortal Master Baiyu said.

“Is Senior Bai referring to exchanging Fifth-Order Jiaolong Clan inner cores for Core Formation Pills?” Lin Shiming also asked in return.

Immortal Master Baiyu was momentarily stunned.

Their White Dragon Island lacked two Golden Core combat strengths, and Core Formation Pills were equally scarce.

“Fellow Daoist Lin, Nine Dragon Island cannot produce Core Formation Pills for now. To be frank, three of Nine Dragon Island's sub-islands have already been breached, so Core Formation Pills will become even rarer in the future. Few major powers can produce them!” Immortal Master Baiyu said.

Lin Shiming was also stunned. He hadn't expected that the Jiaolong Clan's Nine Dragon Island had already had three of its sub-islands breached.

And if nothing unexpected happened, White Dragon Island would also be breached.

Lin Shiming still didn't quite understand. Tianxiang Island could last for so long, and Golden Thunder Island and Thousand Machine Island were the same.

Three of Nine Dragon Island's sub-islands were breached in a single day. It was likely that the Teleportation Arrays were captured intact!

Lin Shiming suddenly looked at the High Grade Fourth-Order spirit tea and somewhat understood.

And the other party's eagerness to exchange for Spirit Pills was probably due to concerns about insufficient combat strength later on, unable to hold onto the position of island master for Nine Dragon Island's sub-islands.

“I can offer two Fifth-Order Magic Treasures, plus a Celestial Star Fruit that extends life by a hundred years!” Immortal Master Baiyu spoke again.

He looked at Lin Shiming with some eagerness, and finally promised:

“I can also become an ally of Tianxiang Island in the future!”

Immortal Master Baiyu heavily emphasized the word “ally.”

However, Lin Shiming was not particularly impressed. If Immortal Master Baiyu was sincere, he would have given him a Jade Talisman, just like Immortal Master Kuangfeng.

The word “ally” could be good or bad. Delays in urgent matters, or problems with the Teleportation Array, could all be used as excuses.

Not to mention an ally of Tianxiang Island.

Although he was secretly complaining, Lin Shiming still said with a regretful expression:

“To be honest, Senior Bai, Senior Kuangfeng also discussed this with Junior just now!”

As soon as Lin Shiming said this, Immortal Master Baiyu's expression changed drastically.

Immortal Master Kuangfeng's Spirit Beast was a Wind 蛟, and Lin Shiming's two Yao Beast Cores were both Fifth-Order Wind 蛟 Yao Beast Cores.

“Senior Kuangfeng also wants this Wind 蛟 and promised to help Junior secure a Core Formation Pill from Tianxiang Island!”

“It's just that Junior also has a wife, and I previously heard that on Nine Dragon Island, one Fifth-Order Yao Beast Core could be exchanged for one Core Formation Pill!”

Lin Shiming's face showed regret, as if he was somewhat disappointed.

Immortal Master Baiyu's expression also changed. Although he didn't know if Lin Shiming was telling the truth or not.

But at this moment, he really had no way.

Even if Blue Dragon Island captured a Fifth-Order Jiaolong Clan, each sub-island of Nine Dragon Island was still in competition!

“Fellow Daoist Lin, it's truly commendable that you think so much of your wife. I am somewhat ashamed!”

“How about this, I will offer the Core Formation Pill Pill Formula in exchange for your two Fifth-Order Yao Beast inner cores!”

“This way, as long as you find enough ningjin fruit, your Lin Family will be able to become a Golden Core Family in the future, and it's highly possible to become one of the thirteen sub-islands of the Coral Alliance!”

Immortal Master Baiyu said, giving Lin Shiming a glimmer of hope.

Lin Shiming was also a little excited in his heart. Obtaining the Core Formation Pill Pill Formula was indeed an opportunity for the Lin Family to become a Golden Core Family.

It's just that, at this moment, he still couldn't agree immediately.

“Senior Bai, this Pill Formula…”

“The Lin Family does not have a Fifth-Order Alchemist, nor does the Lin Family have ningjin fruit!”

“Fellow Daoist Lin, your words are mistaken. The Core Formation Pill Pill Formula is a matter of lasting benefit for generations. ningjin fruit has not been unheard of at the Six Great Sea Regions' grand Auctions!”

“If Fellow Daoist Lin still has concerns, I will add another Celestial Star Fruit today. An extra hundred years also means an extra chance at forming a Golden Core!”

“Furthermore, the alliance still counts!”

Immortal Master Baiyu gritted his teeth, his face showing a pained expression.

On his fair face, it seemed as if thoughts of regret could appear at any moment.

“Since Senior Bai thinks so highly of Junior, it would be ungracious of Junior not to agree!” Lin Shiming also nodded.

He looked as if he was extremely fortunate to become the leader of White Dragon Island.

Immortal Master Baiyu's mouth slightly opened, wanting to continue speaking, but he suppressed it.

Instead, he took out a Jade Slip. Beside the Jade Slip was a jade box. Inside the jade box, a crystal-clear Spirit Fruit was clearly present.

It was precisely the Celestial Star Fruit.

Lin Shiming released the Yan Yang Sword, then took the Jade Slip and carefully examined it.

After consulting the Yan Yang Sword, he nodded and then handed the two jade boxes to Immortal Master Baiyu!

Although the two Fifth-Order inner cores were precious, for Lin Shiming, their Lin Family currently had quite a few Jiaolong Clan inner cores, and there were still two Fifth-Order inner cores left.

They would be enough for the Lin Family for a very long time, and the Core Formation Pill Pill Formula was the true Pill Formula that could allow the Lin Family to transcend.

After the transaction, Immortal Master Baiyu also invited Lin Shiming to drink tea and admire the moon again.

However, it was merely a formality. Lin Shiming naturally wouldn't fail to see through it, and besides, he didn't want to stay any longer.

He left directly and headed to Purple Jade Mountain, preparing to further consolidate his gains in Sword Intent!

Moreover, he was somewhat looking forward to what rewards Real Person Hongye would bestow!

Since Immortal Master Kuangfeng and Immortal Master Baiyu were so friendly to him, Real Person Hongye would probably also be friendly.

In his opinion, those Immortal Masters had definitely communicated long ago.

This time, it was not surprising that Immortal Master Baiyu appeared... And in front of a pavilion, two figures stood. Immortal Master Kuangfeng looked at Tian Liu True Person.

At this moment, he was surprisingly somewhat puzzled.

“Your display of your Willow Bank indeed left me a bit confused!”

“No need to be puzzled. Strictly speaking, I can be considered his Junior Martial Uncle. I can tell that he also inherited from the Tai Bai Sword Palace, and it can even be said that he is the legitimate successor!”

Tian Liu True Person's face couldn't help but show some envy.

In her heart, she couldn't help but yearn for the Eastern Region!
