441: Fusion of God Secret Code (two-in-one thanks to the tail number coin reward)

Inside the room, Yu Jing remained stunned, not answering for a long time.

Lin Shiming had finished his tea, so he picked up his cup, took out the Lin Family’s Cuiling Tea (Green spirit tea), and brewed it.

He also poured a cup for her.

The verdant tea aroma overshadowed the previous spirit tea's fragrance, filling the entire room with a fragrant orchid-like scent, and the Spiritual Qi became even richer.

Lin Shiming raised his cup and drank by himself.

He didn't care whether Yu Jing agreed or not, even though he already knew about the Xu Family’s Legacy Immortal Cave.

But this was what Yu Jing herself said.

The Lin Family's territory had grown, so it was naturally impossible to avenge every Cultivator who joined.

In the Cultivation world, it was also most taboo to make enemies widely.

The Lin Family could not make enemies with unknown adversaries.

Moreover, Yu Jing said there were no Purple Mansion Spirit Medicine.

But being able to refine a fourth-grade spirit talisman, Lin Shiming suspected she had broken through once and opened a Purple Mansion Dao pulse (Dao Meridian).

Only then would it make sense.

Otherwise, an ordinary Peak Foundation Establishment Cultivator would need to combine it with an extraordinary secret art to refine a fourth-grade spirit talisman.

Then her target was very likely Illusion Heart Pavilion!

That's why his request was such; Guest Elder would definitely get a discount. The Family's cohesion lies within the Family.

Absolute fairness is unfairness.

Lin Shiming's gaze remained calm, as if enjoying the gentle sunlight on a leisurely afternoon.

His body and mind were indeed very relaxed.

After the beast tide, he felt much more at ease.

Cultivate also paid more attention to a balance of tension and relaxation.

Finally, he tapped his cup with his finger; much of the spiritual mist on the tea had dissipated, and his patience was completely gone.

"I am willing, but please, Senior Lin, keep my identity a secret!" Yu Jing gritted her teeth and finally made a decision.

Now, let alone finding a place to Cultivate, she couldn't even guarantee her safety.

Otherwise, why would she, a Talisman Refiner, come to Tianxiang Island during the beast tide? It was also to avoid her enemies.

"Naturally!" Lin Shiming nodded and handed Yu Jing a Jade Slip with the Lin Family's Guest Elder manual.

It also included the oath of the heavenly dao that needed to be sworn.

For a Talisman Refiner like Yu Jing, she could be specially approved as a Guest Elder. The treatment and benefits were different, and the oath of the heavenly dao she had to bear was also different.

The specific regulations also needed to be told to the other party.

Yu Jing carefully read the Jade Slip three times before thoughtfully handing it back to Lin Shiming.

Just as Yu Jing thought it was over, Lin Shiming unexpectedly spoke again:

"Lin Shijin told you, didn't he?"

At these words, Yu Jing was startled, but she quickly suppressed it and shook her head.

Lin Shiming didn't say anything more but left the room, already having the answer in his heart.

He saw Lin Shijin at the door.

"Shijin, come with me!" Lin Shiming led Lin Shijin directly to Lin Shijin's room.

"Seventh Brother..." Lin Shijin lowered his head, somewhat silent.

"When Shuangmu Island is rebuilt, you will face the wall for twenty years, and your salary for the next ten years will be canceled. Do you agree?"

"I agree!" Lin Shijin nodded.

"Seventh Brother, I didn't mention anything about Illusion Heart Pavilion. I just said there's a good chance of joining the Lin Family and becoming a Purple Mansion Cultivator..."

"Shijin, I believe you, but sometimes, there's no difference between the numbers five hundred and one thousand. You've been refining talismans for years and aren't good at external communication!"

Lin Shiming also sighed. He didn't want to punish Lin Shijin; the other party also acted out of good intentions, but this time, punishment was unavoidable.

Many Cultivators in the Lin Family knew about Illusion Heart Pavilion and Sword Pavilion, but only the Lin Family's high-ranking members knew that Illusion Heart Pavilion helped condense the Purple Mansion Divine Soul.

Yu Jing clearly guessed something, and such a woman, when driven to madness, could be extremely terrifying.

At the same time, what he feared most was the development of feelings between Lin Shijin and Yu Jing.

When he first entered here, the scene he witnessed naturally made him understand something.

Lin Shijin's cunning was far inferior to Yu Jing's.

If Lin Shijin were to Cultivate in seclusion for twenty years, and if he still had that intention and Yu Jing's performance was still good, then Lin Shiming would not object.

Twenty years would be enough for the Lin Family's combat strength to double again.

By then, the Lin Family wouldn't mind avenging Yu Jing.

A fifth-grade spirit talisman Legacy and a fourth-grade Talisman Refiner were worth the Lin Family's investment.

And even if Yu Jing's Cultivation broke through, she wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

After Lin Shijin accepted his punishment, Lin Shiming went to see the other Loose Cultivators who had joined the Lin Family. These Guest Elder were simply Guest Elder, with the highest Cultivation only at Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. Most had a specialty, either a third-grade Alchemist, a third-grade Talisman Refiner, or an Artifact Refiner.

Their Spiritual Root were not particularly good. After Lin Shiming met them, they were all flattered.

They were full of anticipation for the Lin Family.

Lin Shiming also explained the Lin Family's rules for Guest Elder to them and was very satisfied with their joining. For the rapidly developing Lin Family, the three major art masters would always be scarce, not to mention that the Lin Family would also manage two outer islands and the large Jiuyue Island in the future.

The Lin Family currently only needs to hand over one layer of income from these Teleportation Array!

Although there were no high-level benefits from the Coral Alliance, for the Lin Family, it was not suitable to disclose the benefits of the Ziyang Secret Realm, or even the secret of the Heaven Rank Secret Realm island.

All of this takes time.

Leaving Jade Peak, Lin Shiming went to the market to check the progress of the Teleportation Array.

Because the Teleportation Array was severely damaged, even after four days, it had not been repaired.

Lin Shiyun and Lin Zelu were, after all, only at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, and after a while of exertion, they still needed to rest.

After inspecting it, Lin Shiming returned to Purple Jade Mountain Immortal Cave.

He began to examine the gains from his trip to Rising Sun Island.

The actual gains included the fourth-grade wood spirit essence and the scroll fragment exchanged from Real Person Mingdeng.

This was also the fifth fragment Lin Shiming had acquired.

The fragment was still grey, a dull grey, and when probed with Divine Sense, it would only appear to be a relatively ordinary piece of jade.

It was similar to the fragments Lin Shiming had collected before, showing nothing special.

This made Lin Shiming somewhat interested in Real Person Mingdeng's Cold Silkworm Buddhist Cloth.

Lin Shiming activated the Treasure Unlocking Art, and the Book of Hidden Paths materialized in his hand, still without any Spiritual Qi fluctuations. As soon as the fragment touched the scroll,

A faint Spirit Light appeared, and the two merged together like milk and water, quickly becoming one.

He eagerly opened the interleaved page, slowly turning from the first page of Bloodline Restoration to the last.

"Spirit Fusion Secret Tome!" Lin Shiming's eyes narrowed, and he was overjoyed.

On the new interleaved page, there was clearly an Earth Rank Divine Sense secret art.

This secret art was divided into two parts: one was the Spirit Fusion Art, and the other was Divine Sense Weaponization.

The former was easy to understand; it could absorb sufficiently pure Divine Sense to strengthen one's own Divine Sense.

This terrifying secret art made Lin Shiming feel unheard of.

It was countless times more profound than the Spirit Splitting Art.

The latter part, Divine Sense Weaponization, involved controlling Divine Sense to transform into various spiritual weapons for Divine Sense attacks.

These spiritual weapons were naturally not simple compressions like the Soul Splitting Blade that Lin Shiming had previously condensed, but rather would have a portion of spirit runes carved into them.

These spirit runes were specifically used to engrave into Divine Sense spiritual weapons, and with their enhancement, even if the opponent had an ordinary Divine Sense Magic Treasure, they might not be able to block it.

This was an enormous Opportunity for Lin Shiming and even the entire Lin Family.

At the same time, Lin Shiming couldn't help but wonder about the true nature of the Book of Hidden Paths.

Such a damaged Spirit Treasure might even be restored to a true Spirit Treasure in the future.

Then the Legacy would at least be a seventh-grade Soul Transformation Legacy!

Lin Shiming couldn't help but be extremely interested in the other pages of the Book of Hidden Paths, but he also knew that acquiring such interleaved pages was a great test of Luck.

Especially since ordinary Cultivators couldn't tell, but Real Person Mingdeng obviously knew the extraordinary nature of the interleaved pages.

Lin Shiming couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but then he shook his head, casting aside those disheartening emotions.

He focused intently on studying the Spirit Fusion Art.

Lin Shiming also had a clue about the pure Divine Sense of the Spirit Fusion Art; it was precisely the pure Spirit Light remaining after the Soul Suppressing Tower stripped away memories.

This kind of Spirit Light could not be preserved, and only a tiny amount remained each time.

Moreover, it required a Purple Mansion Great Demon or a Purple Mansion Cultivator or above; the Spirit Light below Purple Mansion was almost negligible.

However, even without fusing Divine Sense, the Spirit Fusion Art, through pure self-Cultivation, was far more powerful than the Spirit Splitting Art.

And Divine Sense Weaponization was even more miraculous; its first layer of evolution required Divine Sense strength to reach Purple Mansion Late Stage.

The weapon condensed was also the Divine Sense Sword that Lin Shiming was familiar with.

Lin Shiming followed the method of condensation, first condensing a three-foot-long Divine Sense Sword.

He saw a transparent spiritual sword slowly appearing in his Sea of Consciousness. It was initially about the length of a dagger, then slowly extended.

This process was very slow and complex.

He had thought that since he had condensed the Soul Splitting Blade, it wouldn't be difficult to condense a Divine Sense Sword. At this moment, he realized he was gravely mistaken.

The amount and size of the condensed Divine Sense all needed to be controlled.

And this did not even involve the engraving of spirit runes, and the lowest layer of Divine Sense Weapon also had six spirit runes.

This made Lin Shiming suddenly feel the difficulty of the road ahead.

Time passed bit by bit. Lin Shiming was also utilizing the daily System prompt.

Finally, three days later, he condensed a spiritual sword over three feet long. This spiritual sword had two edges and a thick body.

Every time it slashed through the air, it carried terrifying Divine Sense pressure.

Even the Red-haired Demon Monkey and Wang Jiao, the two beasts, now showed considerable fear towards Lin Shiming.

Holding their unfinished spirit beast meat, they moved to a corner and devoured it.

Lin Shiming also stopped. Spirit runes were extremely complex for him. To condense one would take at least three months, and Tianxiang Island was not stable yet, so Lin Shiming did not plan to continue his seclusion.

Instead, he summoned Thunder Child. At this moment, Thunder Child looked like a lively page boy, following behind Old Wood, like a diligent student asking a master tirelessly.

Occasionally, two Kui Spirit Demon Thunder were hidden in his hands, but he dared not throw them out, fearing to damage the plants in the Grotto-heaven World.

Old Wood was also extremely patient. Although his combat strength was even inferior to Thunder Child's at this moment, his understanding of the Kui Spirit Demon Scripture was much higher than Thunder Child's.

Lin Shiming took out the fourth-grade wood spirit essence. This wood spirit essence was High Grade fourth-grade and extremely precious.

It was greatly beneficial even to a fourth-grade Middle Stage Wood Demon.

Lin Shiming also took care of Thunder Child first. Thunder Child's combat strength was far too great for Lin Shiming, and his main body was also a nearly thousand-year-old Golden Thunder Bamboo.

Old Wood said nothing but watched Lin Shiming enter the Ziyang Pagoda and arrive before the Golden Thunder Bamboo's main body.

At this moment, the Golden Thunder Bamboo already had about ten spiritual nodes, and the smaller one also had two spiritual nodes.

Whether it was the bamboo nodes or the bamboo leaves, golden lightning flashed, looking extremely miraculous.

When Thunder Child reached the main body, he playfully leaped onto the bamboo, then merged with the bamboo node. The flashing golden lightning began to transform into circles of golden spirit runes, rippling like waves across the bamboo node.

Lin Shiming gave all the High Grade fourth-grade wood spirit essence to Thunder Child.

As the wood spirit essence was poured, the Golden Thunder Bamboo began to grow wildly.

However, what made Lin Shiming hesitate was that the Golden Thunder Bamboo was slowly growing larger, but no new bamboo nodes appeared.

It seemed to have only absorbed the Spiritual Qi from the spirit essence, making each bamboo node almost reach its limit.

Thunder Child's face reappeared, now somewhat contorted.

He was still calling out the words "Old Wood" and "Master."

Lin Shiming didn't speak, and Old Wood, after receiving Lin Shiming's nod, quickly understood that Thunder Child had begun to refine the wood spirit essence.

The effect of the wood spirit essence was somewhat different from what Lin Shiming had imagined. Clearly, this spirit essence was more capable of enhancing the potential of a Wood Demon. Giving the wood spirit essence to Old Wood would help him break through because of his thousands of years of accumulated foundation.

However, the Golden Thunder Bamboo, from its birth to the present, relied on Lin Shiming's initial catalysis and later the Wind of Rejuvenation.

This led to the fact that even if he Cultivated into a Wood Demon, not only was his intelligence not high, but his thunder-attribute demon elemental energy was also quickly depleted.

The High Grade fourth-grade wood spirit essence, however, could replenish Thunder Child's insufficient foundation.

"Master, if Thunder Child fully digests it, he might be able to break through to the Mid Purple Mansion Realm!" Old Wood congratulated with cupped hands.

Lin Shiming also nodded. He didn't care about this; even if it didn't succeed, he still had the Wind of Rejuvenation, which could also extend Thunder Child's lifespan.

While the Golden Thunder Bamboo pulsed and flickered continuously, the little red crane in the distance also flew away. It stretched its neck, looking at Lin Shiming, then at the Golden Thunder Bamboo.

Its mouth mumbled softly, inaudible.

But Lin Shiming guessed that this ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine was asking for wood spirit essence.

However, Lin Shiming ignored it. He planned to give this ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine, Lingxia Grass, to the Yan Yang Sword, as he had promised the latter.

So he didn't give Lingxia Grass a good look.

This Ziyang Pagoda and even the Grotto-heaven World were his territory.

He took out his spiritual sword and teased the other party a bit, preventing it from losing its wildness after being confined for too long.

Before long, Lin Shiming left the Ziyang Pagoda, while Old Wood continued to observe the Golden Thunder Bamboo.

Another three days passed, and the Tianxiang Island Teleportation Array was almost ready.

And the Lin Family should also set off for Shuangmu Island.

Tianxiang Island was, after all, only a temporary occupation for the Lin Family. Subduing Shuangmu Island and relocating Mortals was what the Lin Family needed to do!

Leaving the Grotto-heaven World, the Teleportation Array was already operating smoothly. Cultivators from Tianxiang Island could freely Teleport to Rising Sun Island, and Cultivators from Rising Sun Island could also freely enter Tianxiang Island.

What surprised Lin Shiming was that even after the beast tide, not many Cultivators were leaving. Clearly, many Cultivators were anticipating the purple profound treasure jade and the Foundation Establishment Pill Auction mentioned by the Lin Family.

Instead, the market showed a more booming trend, causing the Lin Family's Alchemist, Talisman Refiner, and Artifact Refiner to rapidly engage in refining work.

This also included those Guest Elder of the Lin Family.

However, Lin Shiming handed over all matters concerning the Auction to Lin Shijie; he had more important things to do at the moment!
