471: Three and a half dragons, magical powers become stronger (two in one, please vote for me)

On Thousand Wood Peak, as Lin Shiming entered seclusion, the surging Spiritual Qi transformed into invisible Spiritual Qi Dragons, heading towards the peak.

The Cultivators who had made gains amidst the massive Spiritual Qi had no choice but to awaken; all the Spiritual Qi was heading towards Thousand Wood Peak, and even if they had a chance for a Breakthrough, they now found themselves in a difficult situation, like trying to cook without rice.

They had no choice but to use the Teleportation Array again to travel to Tianxiang Island for their Breakthrough!

Even Lin Family members passing by were filled with emotion at the surging Spiritual Qi!

This was the power of a Golden Core Immortal Master; even his full effort in Cultivation caused such a stir!

Their eyes shone even brighter, and they secretly made up their minds!

Of course, besides the Aura of Thousand Wood Peak, the Spirit Peach trees covering the mountainside now also drew continuous anticipation from countless Lin Family Cultivators.

After all, these Spirit Peach were one by one larger, fuller, and more alluring in color.

With the peach fragrance overflowing, few Cultivators had ever witnessed such a bountiful harvest.

Especially those from the Lin Family's Spirit Herb Garden, who were now responsible for picking the Spirit Peach, they felt this joy even more deeply!

One must know that within the Spirit Herb Garden, besides the Spirit Peach, there were also a large number of Spirit Medicine, as well as heavenly spirit fruit!

Moreover, at this moment, the Lin Family's high-ranking members also put an end to decades of vigilance and suppression.

Lin Yanjiao, her face full of joy, flew into the sky:

"To celebrate Uncle-Grandpa Shiming's Breakthrough to Golden Core, the rewards for the Clan Competition in the next ten years will be doubled!"

"Illusion Heart Pavilion will lower its entry requirements for ten years!"

"The contribution points required to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pill will be halved!"

…A series of benefits followed, and all the Lin Family Cultivators fell into a frenzy!

This scene also made Lin Xianzhi and Lin Shijie, among others, extremely satisfied!

This was truly the flourishing age of the Lin Family!

Currently, the Lin Family had over three hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and with the explosion of Foundation Establishment Pill, there would be even more in the future!

And just as everyone was celebrating with joy.

A figure lingered for a long time in front of Thousand Wood Peak, appearing extremely out of place!

He held a Jade Slip in his hand, as if he had made up his mind, yet also as if he had remembered something, finally stopping in his tracks!

In the distance, Lin Shiyun and Lin Shizhong also watched this scene, letting out a long sigh.

They found it difficult to speak, and didn't know how to say anything!

...Regarding the outside world, Lin Shiming didn't know much, still immersed in Cultivation!

After consolidating his cultivation, he took out his Magic Treasure and began to refine and nurture it.

In the blink of an eye, several months had passed!

The stone table was already covered with a layer of dust; as he exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi, countless dust particles scattered into the air.

Lin Shiming also opened his eyes with a joyful expression!

The green light receded, and the true essence returned to his Physical Body!

He stood up, and saw that unknown blades of grass had begun to appear on the stone wall of his Immortal Cave!

One must know that his stone wall was protected by a Formation!

He leaned over and pinched the blade of grass.

Then he circulated his true essence!

After a thorough examination, he once again gained a deeper understanding of his own Spirit Body!

After breaking through to Golden Core, his Thousand Wood Spirit Body seemed to have been activated even further!

Now, his ability to stimulate plant growth was even stronger!

If Lin Shiming was willing to expend his true essence, stimulating some ordinary Spirit Medicine would be far more efficient than before!

Lin Shiming was somewhat eager to see if his Minor Divine Ability, Wind of Rejuvenation, had made substantial progress.

Of course, his emergence from seclusion after consolidating his cultivation this time was not his only gain!

He stepped into the Immortal Cave!

Thirty years had already passed in the Immortal Cave!

The Spirit Herb Garden, which had been relocated earlier, was now covered in deep vegetation, forming a well-maintained mountain forest!

The mountain peak remained as before, and the stone platform was even free of any dust!

The Spirit Lake water was even greener, and Spirit Fish leaped out from time to time.

There were more of the mysterious Black Spirit Fish, and they were bolder!

In the Immortal Cave, only the Red-haired Demon Monkey and the Cloud Dragon frequently ate Spirit Fish; with the absence of their mischief, the Spirit Fish in the Spirit Lake had experienced a small boom!

Both their cultivation and numbers had increased significantly!

The Star Spirit Shell was lazily perched on top of the pavilion, seemingly quite bored.

Upon seeing Lin Shiming approach, she immediately rushed over, her entire body sparkling with starlight, and her Aura even more powerful!

"Congratulations, Master!"

She handed over a Storage Pouch, which was filled with star spirit floss!

Along with the Star Spirit Shell, Old Wood and Thunder Child also arrived together by the Ziyang Pagoda.

Thunder Child still retained his childlike appearance, while Old Wood, on the other hand, appeared much more energetic!

Old Wood, with his sleeves rolled up, was the first to bow in greeting!

"Congratulations, Master, on achieving the Great Dao of Golden Core!"

"Congratulations, Master, on achieving the Great Dao of Golden Core!" Thunder Child also respectfully bowed and mimicked the gesture, his movements slightly comical!

"Very good!" Lin Shiming was extremely satisfied with both of them; his Divine Sense also reached the Ziyang Pagoda, and all the spiritual plants were managed in an orderly fashion.

The Spirit Light on Thunder Child's body flickered even more intensely, seemingly indicating that his thunder techniques were even more refined!

All of this pleased Lin Shiming.

Lin Shiming then looked towards the Jiaolong Nest, which was one of the most important points.

At this moment, the Jiaolong Nest was surrounded by three half-Jiaolong!

The Azure Scale Python was at the very top, occupying the best position; its head had now transformed into an inverted triangular, pointed shape, immensely large.

On its bald head were two newly grown bumps, covered with wind-attributed spiritual patterns that resonated with the Jiaolong scales on its body!

Its Aura was formidable, and it had clearly reached the Late Stage of the third rank!

Although it saw Lin Shiming looking at it, it continued to open its large mouth wide, constantly absorbing most of the Dragon Qi!

Claws were also clearly beginning to form under its belly!

It could be said to be full of talent, truly worthy of being the descendant of a pure-blooded Yao King!

In comparison, the Thunder Spirit Snake and the Red Scale Python were slightly inferior in both size and Aura.

However, one must remember that the Thunder Spirit Snake and the Red Scale Python were older!

Nevertheless, Lin Shiming was satisfied with both of them.

The Thunder Spirit Snake now emanated countless flashes of thunder; on its head were bumps, and its scales were covered in lightning, constantly flickering with Spirit Light, making it appear extremely majestic.

Seeing Thunder Child nearby, the Thunder Spirit Snake even gave up absorbing the Dragon Qi and bowed to Thunder Child!

It seemed that Thunder Child had disciplined this Thunder Spirit Snake over the years.

However, with Thunder Child's Purple Mansion Realm strength, he could indeed overpower these three beasts!

The Red Scale Python, like the Azure Scale Python, continued to absorb the Dragon Qi, but clearly, the Red Scale Python's Bloodline was far inferior to that of the Azure Scale Python!

"You three little snakes, why aren't you greeting your Master!" Seeing the three beasts in such a state, Thunder Child, like an adult, put his hands on his hips, and immediately, his entire body crackled with arcs of lightning.

With a snap of his fingers, a golden light shot out, then exploded in the air, transforming into countless arcs of lightning, crackling and popping!

"Roar!"

The three beasts immediately let out low roars, then descended below the Jiaolong Nest, bowing their heads towards Lin Shiming!

They were terrified to the extreme!

Clearly, they had been disciplined quite a bit!

Lin Shiming chuckled slightly, praised Thunder Child, and then gave Thunder Child a Storage Pouch as a reward!

Lin Shiming finally looked at the Golden Winged Mantis in the distance.

At this moment, the Golden Winged Mantis had once again fallen into a deep sleep, and the place where it lay prostrate was no different from before, indicating that the Golden Wings had not moved at all.

However, its state at this moment greatly pleased Lin Shiming!

Shallow golden light and frost each covered half of its body, and the Aura it emitted grew increasingly strong!

Clearly, it had already reached the brink of Breakthrough, a step ahead of the Red-haired Demon Monkey!

Lin Shiming did not disturb it, but instead went to the high platform and began to test the gains from his seclusion this time.

He first took out eighteen Star Pattern Wind Stabilizing Pearls; each one shone like a star, outlining a small Formation diagram in the air!

As he formed a hand seal, the star map began to glow, and countless storms appeared, instantly blotting out the sky and earth, with strong winds howling!

It was as if the world was ending!

Moreover, the greatest power of these Star Pattern Wind Stabilizing Pearls was not the storm itself, but the eighteen pearls within the storm; each pearl was made of star iron from outside the heavens, weighing as much as ten thousand jun!

Yet, within the storm, they moved as if weightless, as fast as starlight!

Each one, when struck, was no less powerful than a full-force punch from a Golden Core Body Cultivator!

After the entire set, Lin Shiming was extremely satisfied!

With this Magic Treasure, his means of combat were by no means weak!

Next, Lin Shiming took out the Green Fish Sword; although he still had the Medium Grade fifth-rank Magic Treasure, Rising Sun Sword, it belonged to Real Person Xuri, so Lin Shiming had not refined it yet, planning to do so when he had time!

The Green Fish Sword glowed green all over, resembling a swordfish!

When a sword strike was launched, it was like the vast sea following along!

Its momentum was grand, and it was also a peerless sword!

After a series of tests, Lin Shiming was having a great time!

He finally put down the Green Fish Sword after a long while.

He walked towards the Ziyang Pagoda!

Inside the Ziyang Pagoda at this moment, countless spiritual plants were growing!

In the very center was the ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine, the Lingxia (Spiritual Haze) Flower; it occupied most of the space, its blossoms vibrant and covered in auspicious glow!

A small red crane was the first to emerge!

At this moment, the Red Crane Spirit Shadow was still not afraid of Lin Shiming!

It seemed that after such a long time apart, it had forgotten that Lin Shiming had once chased it all over the house!

It even mimicked the Red-haired Demon Monkey's past behavior, nodding and bowing to him!

Then, seeing that Lin Shiming made no move to take out his Storage Pouch, it reverted to its arrogant expression, even showing a grumbling look!

Lin Shiming finally made a move at this moment; he flicked his finger slightly.

A Spirit Light shot out, striking the red crane!

The red crane immediately flew out!

It instantly became alert, transforming into a red light and beginning to flee!

Its escape speed was terrifyingly fast!

Even Lin Shiming's Divine Sense felt it difficult to capture at this moment!

However, that was precisely the effect he wanted!

As he beckoned, a fish mirror, glowing entirely green, first appeared in his hand.

One side of the Azure Fish Mirror depicted mountains and rivers, covered with spiritual patterns and ravines, while the other side was a green mirror surface!

At this moment, it was the green mirror surface that was aimed at the Red Crane Spirit Shadow!

It shot out a large expanse of green light, fixing the red crane in place, and simultaneously immobilizing the Void Realm!

The ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine Spirit Shadow was also utterly unable to escape!

Seeing this scene, Lin Shiming's face was filled with joy!

The spatial restriction effect of this Azure Fish Mirror far exceeded his expectations!

At this moment, he felt a bit of lingering fear; if it hadn't been for the Yan Yang Sword nearby, he might truly have been ambushed and killed by those Yao Kings!

Putting away the Green Fish Sword, Lin Shiming then examined the other spiritual plants nearby.

Finally, he walked directly to the Gold Core Forming Fruit Tree!

He began to test the effects of his Minor Divine Ability, Wind of Rejuvenation!

In the future, he must prepare for Lin Shitao's Core Formation!

Currently, only one ningjin fruit remained; not to mention whether she could succeed in one go, Lin Shiming could not save it, simply because he still owed Nine Heavens Hermit a Core Formation Pill!

Moreover, Lin Shijie and Lin Xianzhi were now both in the Mid Purple Mansion Realm, and their true essence was extremely refined; they were not too far from Core Formation!

He had to catalyze them in advance!

The dazzling green light spread step by step, and the Red Crane Spirit Shadow in the distance was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan!

It wanted to come and bathe in it, but Lin Shiming continuously repelled it with his Spirit Shadow.

Finally, it had no choice but to dart into the Lingxia (Spiritual Haze) Flower, sealing its six senses, as if out of sight, out of mind!

And Lin Shiming, looking at the Gold Core Forming Fruit Tree before him, finally realized that his Wind of Rejuvenation had indeed grown too much!

If previously the catalysis took a hundred years, now it was close to one hundred and fifty years!

However, after casting it once, casting it again still required five years!

Even if the ningjin fruit bloomed in three hundred years, bore fruit in three hundred years, and matured in two hundred years, it would only take thirty years to mature again!

Having confirmed the effect of the Wind of Rejuvenation, Lin Shiming also breathed a sigh of relief!

Afterward, he exited the Ziyang Pagoda and also left the Immortal Cave!

He had been in seclusion for more than half a year, and he needed to understand the Family's affairs!

He also wanted to understand the situation in the Eastern Region even more!

It had been thirty years since the Cloud Dragon's Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, and thirty years since the Spirit Beast Sect withdrew from Zhao Country.

And it had also been thirty years since the Cloud Palace appeared!

Of course, if he said that now that he had broken through to Golden Core, he didn't want to know the whereabouts of the Innate Spirit Treasure, that would be a lie!

He walked out of his Immortal Cave, only to see that many Jade Slips had been placed at the entrance again!

The Jade Slips contained Lin Yanjiao's summary of the Family's situation!

As well as Lin Houyuan's introduction to the situation in the Eastern Region, and the Beast Nurturing Pill refined by Lin Shitao!

Lin Shiming first read about the Eastern Region situation left by his father.

Soon, he frowned!

Nine Leaves Zhenren of the Spirit Beast Sect also broke through to Nascent Soul ten years after the Cloud Dragon's Breakthrough, forming a standoff between the Yao Race and Human Race in Zhao Country!

The Heavenly Demon Sect, Corpse Refinement Sect, Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Spirit Beast Sect, and Spirit Talisman Sect, the five sects, also formed an anti-Yao alliance!

They fought fiercely every day!

And the Cloud Realm was precisely within Youzhou; it was said that the restrictions in the Cloud Realm were still immense!

The specific reasons were not written in the Jade Slip!

However, Nine Leaves Zhenren's Breakthrough, the appearance of a second Nascent Soul, was good news for the Human Race and for the Eastern Region!

Moreover, Lin Shiming was not surprised by the other party's Breakthrough!

The Nine Leaves Enlightenment Platform and Immortal Master Divine Machine's modified Cultivation Technique were quite similar back then!

Both devoured people's insights!

On the surface, they were Opportunities given to all Cultivators, but in reality, they were man-eating monsters!

Lin Shiming was able to comprehend and deduce the divine light because when the Heavenly Demon Sect attacked and breached Nine Leaf City, the Nine Leaves Tree was severely damaged, giving his System a chance!

Lin Shiming then looked at Lin Yanjiao's Jade Slip, which covered the Lin Family's development over the past thirty years!

What made him sigh was that Lin Shiyi failed in his Breakthrough to Purple Mansion, becoming the second person to fail after Lin Shitao's failed Breakthrough!

He also went to the Blood Cultivation Sea Region, where the Blood Cultivation Sect was located, for experience, and there had been no news of him since!

Lin Shiming couldn't help but sigh; Lin Shiyi's greatest blow was probably not his own failure!

But the successive Breakthroughs of him, his eldest brother Lin Shijie, and his fourth brother Lin Shimo!

One must know that ever since childhood, his second brother Lin Shiyi had competed with his eldest brother, competed with him, and also competed with his fourth brother!

And Lin Shimo was a Purple Mansion Cultivator who broke through with Four Spiritual Roots!

Perhaps, it was also due to the waste of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid!

Lin Shiming sighed, looking at the surging waves in the sea!

He really wanted to tell Lin Shiyi that when he captured the Mountain Guarding Ape back then, it wasn't truly for sparring!

Rather, it was to make him understand that every Breakthrough for a Body Cultivator is a Breakthrough of oneself!

He was limited by ape techniques; Body Cultivation was not just about the ferocity of ape techniques!
