472: Shijin Heart Knot and Preaching (two in one, please vote for me)

A gentle sea breeze swept across, creating green waves on Thousand Wood Peak!

Just like Lin Shiming's heart, ripples began to form!

Lin Shiming sighed softly. Since things had come to this, he could only pray that Lin Shiyi wouldn't encounter any problems!

He collected all the Jade Slips and headed down the mountain!

At the foot of the mountain, there was still a man dressed in a Daoist robe.

He had grown a beard, and his eyes were much more weathered!

He seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and was slightly dazed, not even noticing a figure had appeared behind him.

"Shijin, why bother!" Lin Shiming sighed softly!

This figure was Lin Shijin. Back then, he had fallen in love with Yu Jing, and Lin Shiming had ordered him to reflect for twenty years!

It was also to help Lin Shijin move on!

But now, seeing Lin Shijin's weathered appearance and his cultivation stuck at Foundation Establishment Middle Stage!

He let out a long sigh in his heart.

Actually, he had noticed Lin Shijin back then.

"Seventh Brother!" Lin Shijin finally came to his senses and bowed repeatedly!

"Shijin, have you still not understood?" Lin Shiming looked at Lin Shijin again.

Lin Shijin was more than twenty years younger than him, and he had watched him grow up. The Lin Family had placed great hopes on him!

However, now Lin Shizhong and Lin Shiyun had both reached Late Foundation Establishment Stage, and even Lin Zelu, who was younger than him, had reached Late Foundation Establishment Stage.

Not to mention Lin Zekong and Lin Zecheng, the two Two Spiritual Roots, had already reached Peak Foundation Establishment and were already planning to Breakthrough to Purple Mansion!

"Seventh Brother, Shijin has already understood. I am willing to give up all my contribution points to give Yu Jing a chance to Breakthrough, and Yu Jing has also promised me that she is willing to marry into the Lin Family with no ulterior motives. As for revenge, we will absolutely not seek it until we reach Purple Mansion Late Stage!"

"That Xu Family Immortal Cave and the forbidden techniques, Yu Jing is also willing to reveal everything!" Lin Shijin said!

Lin Shiming did not answer!

Yu Jing had told him about the fifth-tier Legacy Immortal Cave before, but at that time, for Lin Shiming, the risk was too great, and Yu Jing must have been hiding something!

So, even after more than thirty years, he had ignored it.

"I'm not asking if you understand that, but if you understand Yu Jing's true intentions!"

Lin Shiming spoke again.

He sounded somewhat earnest:

"Do you really think that the current Lin Family would still fear a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator like Yu Jing? Seventh Brother is just worried that you don't see Yu Jing clearly, and in the end, you won't be able to stand between Yu Jing and the Family!"

"If you are truly willing, go find Yan Jiao and have Yu Jing enter the Illusion Heart Pavilion once. However, this time, it will involve a test!" Lin Shiming said.

Lin Shijin also froze in place, and after a long time, he nodded!

He knew that the upcoming test might be cruel, and might involve the Lin Family and revenge!

If Yu Jing was exposed in the illusion, his heart would be even more pained!

Because Yu Jing had come with an ulterior motive to begin with!

Lin Shijin nodded!

And Lin Shiming flew towards Qinglian Peak.

In the following days, Lin Shiming also chatted with elders like Lin Xianzhi.

Lin Shitao had already entered seclusion to Breakthrough to Mid Purple Mansion Realm!

During this time, what made Lin Shiming sigh was that many Shi Generation Lin Family members had passed away without reaching Foundation Establishment.

Among them was his third sister, Lin Shiqi, the female Cultivator who had once taught him the art of spiritual plants!

Another row was added to the Ancestral Hall.

When Lin Shiming arrived at the Ancestral Hall, Lei Xuan and several of his descendants were there.

Lei Xuan now had three sons, and the aura on him was extremely dense, clearly on the verge of Breakthrough to Purple Mansion!

Perhaps he had suppressed it for many years, never breaking through!

When Lei Xuan saw Lin Shiming approach, he also stood up!

His other nephews and nieces also called him Seventh Uncle repeatedly!

Lei Xuan's eyes were faintly moist.

"Shiming, Shiqi is gone!"

"She asked me to tell you that she wishes you a Breakthrough to Golden Core. This is the gift she prepared for you!"

Lei Xuan took out a Jade Slip about spiritual plants. Inside the Jade Slip, Lin Shiqi's lifelong efforts were recorded!

"She said her biggest regret was not being able to personally give it to you!" Lei Xuan said, his expression also darkening.

Perhaps it was grief overwhelming him.

Or perhaps the air in the Ancestral Hall was a little damp.

Lin Shiming also nodded, a sense of loneliness welling up in his heart!

Cultivation was like this. As you moved forward, there would always be people who couldn't keep up, even if he had taken great care of the Family!

Lin Shiqi had Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment four times, using four Foundation Establishment Pills.

"Shiming, the Lei Family will no longer be divided. From today onwards, I, Lei Xuan, only seek longevity. Perhaps by ascending the immortal path, I can even resurrect Shiqi!" Lei Xuan's eyes were filled with reluctance.

This time, Lin Shiming and Lei Xuan chatted for a long time.

Lei Xuan recounted the first time he met Lin Shiqi, when he was still a prisoner!

Only Lin Shiqi had smiled back at him!

That was also the most beautiful smile he had ever seen!

In the Ancestral Hall, the candles had been replaced with better spirit candles, and the lamp oil had been replaced with special ancient oil.

The two talked for a full night. The next day, Lei Xuan also left resolutely. Before going into seclusion, he glanced at the Thunder Spirit Snake, then entered his Immortal Cave to go into seclusion and Breakthrough to Purple Mansion!

And Lin Shiming stayed in the Ancestral Hall, chatting with Lin Yuqing and Lin Yuqi.

He had once promised these elders.

That after he Breakthrough to Golden Core, he would tell them!

Outside, the wind was strong, and he was afraid they wouldn't hear him.

But in the Ancestral Hall, Lin Shiming shared the joyous news of his Golden Core Breakthrough, one by one, with the help of ancient lamps and yellow spirit wine.

Sip by sip!

... As the morning sun appeared, Qinglian Peak was decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, and a huge square had been cleared!

Every Cultivator looked exceptionally excited. Today was the day Lin Shiming would give his Dao lecture.

In the square, there were a thousand seats!

Each of these thousand seats was for a Lin Family member who could receive triple the usual salary (stipend), excluding those who received rewards for childbirth!

The Lin Family now had nearly eight thousand Cultivators!

Therefore, being able to secure a seat was enough to make them proud!

Especially for most Foundation Establishment Cultivators, they had previously attended the Lin Family's Purple Mansion Dao lectures and knew that Lin Shiming's lectures were different from those of other Cultivators!

As the time drew nearer!

It was seen that the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Lin Family on Shuangmu Island, and even on Tianxiang Island, Jiuyue Island, and Lianyun Island, had basically returned to Shuangmu Island!

Even though the cost of a Teleportation Array was not low, at this moment, almost all of them had returned!

Filling the seats for the Foundation Establishment Cultivators completely!

At this moment, many Cultivators were also greeting each other.

But then, Lin Xianzhi, Lin Shijie, Lin Shimo, Lin Houshou, and other Purple Mansion Cultivators of the Lin Family also sat in the very front!

They were clearly also there to listen to Lin Shiming's lecture!

This surprised all the Lin Family members even more!

Of course, Lin Xianzhi, who was at the very front of the square at this moment, had no other thoughts.

He had predicted this scene when Lin Shiming first broke through!

So, he had long since asked Lin Yanjiao to arrange a seat for him!

He even held a Jade Slip in his hand, ready to engrave the lecture into the Jade Slip for parts he didn't understand!

Lin Shijie and Lin Shimo also made similar movements to Lin Xianzhi!

Among the Lin Family's high-ranking members, Lin Shiming's lectures had long been rumored to be extremely profound!

Just then, Nine Heavens Hermit also arrived late with Lin Houwei!

"Clan Leader, Nine Heavens didn't arrive late, did he!" Nine Heavens Hermit was older than Lin Xianzhi, but now, he and Lin Shiming were considered peers, so he naturally couldn't address him by age.

And Nine Heavens Hermit's appearance with Lin Houwei also surprised everyone!

The thousand seats were quickly occupied, but the Cultivators in the square were far more than a thousand!

At midday, Lin Shiming also flew from afar and landed on the high platform!

Since it was a Family lecture, Lin Shiming didn't hide anything.

"Thanks to the protection of all Family members, Shiming was fortunate enough to form his Golden Core. Today, I will share some of my insights here, wishing that all Lin Family members can embark on the Great Dao of Longevity!"

... Lin Shiming slowly began his lecture!

He still started from Innate Qi Refining!

Every word and every sentence was spoken very seriously. Some parts were his own insights, and some were true knowledge he had gained from difficulties he had encountered, which the System had prompted him to solve!

And these were explained one by one!

Below, all the Cultivators listened with rapt attention!

Even Purple Mansion Cultivators like Lin Xianzhi were greatly moved by listening to the Qi Refining points at this moment!

Not to mention those Qi Refining Cultivators, many of their confusions were instantly resolved.

Many who were stuck at a Bottleneck gradually gained a sudden realization, and their cultivation began to loosen!

Three hours after the lecture began, many Qi Refining Cultivators in the square seats actually began to show signs of Breakthrough!

They were inherently more talented than ordinary people, most of them Two Spiritual Roots or Three Spiritual Roots!

At this moment, Spiritual Qi surrounded their entire bodies, forming a Spiritual Qi phenomenon!

This phenomenon was initially rare, but in the next moment, several people exhibited it!

Lin Shiming was also a bit hesitant at this moment. He felt that his Dao lecture was indeed subtly different!

This feeling was profound and mysterious!

He hadn't noticed it when he gave his Purple Mansion lecture before!

Now it seemed, it was indeed very different!

But he couldn't think of the reason and could only continue his lecture!

Inside the square, Lin Shiming's voice resonated continuously!

At this moment, the Lin Family members forgot the time, forgot the sky!

They didn't even have time to praise Lin Shiming's lecturing skills!

Many Foundation Establishment Cultivators began taking notes!

As the morning sun set towards the horizon, Lin Shiming also began to continue explaining Foundation Establishment!

The transcendence of one Realm also caused those Qi Refining Cultivators to gradually become unable to bear it, and they had to regretfully leave one by one!

To digest the entire day's lecture!

At this moment, the recorded Jade Slips of many Cultivators became highly sought after, and countless Lin Family members began to exchange them!

And the Foundation Establishment Cultivators listened even more intently, forgetting everything, finding that they couldn't even spare time to record!

Lin Shiming's explanation was the accumulation of his Golden Core Cultivator knowledge, and also the countless accumulations of cultivation knowledge and tricks prompted by the System during peaceful days!

One must know that when Lin Shiming Cultivated, the System's prompts didn't offer other Opportunities, but rather knowledge and tricks of cultivation!

Although he was only a Golden Core Cultivator, even a Nascent Soul Cultivator lecturing with him would absolutely not be as effective as Lin Shiming!

And Lin Shiming had no reservations with these Family Cultivators!

The sea breeze still howled, the Qi Refining Cultivators had already left, and among the Foundation Establishment Cultivators, some began to gather Spirit Light!

Among them was Lin Shijin!

Yu Jing had entered the Illusion Heart Pavilion and passed the Family test!

He could marry Yu Jing!

With his mindset and Lin Shiming's lecture, he became the first Foundation Establishment Cultivator to be on the verge of Breakthrough!

However, he did not immediately Breakthrough, but continued to grit his teeth and persist, wanting to finish listening to Lin Shiming's lecture on the Foundation Establishment Realm!

There were many Cultivators who behaved like Lin Shijin!

By the second day!

At this moment, in the square, Spirit Light flashed, and Spiritual Qi phenomena had already begun to appear. Even in the Void Realm, Lingxia (Spiritual Haze) began to condense!

However, it was the Qi Refining Cultivators watching from the periphery who were excited.

After all, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators at this moment dared not be distracted to look at others!

Finally, among the more than three hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators, twenty showed a tendency to Breakthrough.

And fifty to sixty people had their Bottlenecks loosened!

This scene, if it happened at other lecture gatherings, would probably scare some Cultivators to death!

The lecture on the Foundation Establishment Realm lasted for two days, one day longer than Qi Refining!

Finally, it came to the most crucial Purple Mansion lecture!

All the Foundation Establishment Cultivators left the venue. They also began to look for Jade Slips recorded by others and exchanged them with each other!

Attempting to gain even more!

And those who had a Breakthrough Opportunity immediately returned to their Immortal Caves to go into seclusion and Cultivate!

This included Lin Yanjiao, the Clan Chief!

It also included Lin Houwei, Lin Shilei, Lin Zekong, and Lin Zecheng, four who were about to Breakthrough to Purple Mansion, all entering seclusion together!

One could even foresee that Shuangmu Island might frequently experience phenomena of Breakthrough to Purple Mansion in the coming days!

Only five Purple Mansion Cultivators remained in the square!

Lin Shiming took out a Formation and began to isolate the area!

After all, a Purple Mansion lecture was of great importance and could be considered a Family secret!

After the Formation was set up, Lin Shiming lectured as usual, even though the Cultivators before him were all his elders.

And even though there were only five of them!

He continued to lecture from the Early Violet Palace Stage, explaining in even greater detail, and even allowing the five to ask questions about the profound aspects!

Among the questions, Lin Houshou and Lin Shimo naturally had the most!

And Lin Shiming's brilliant explanations caused all five to clap their hands in admiration!

And as time passed, Lin Shijie, Lin Xianzhi, and even Nine Heavens Hermit, all showed a phenomenon on their bodies!

Lin Xianzhi's body manifested Qinglian Lingxia (Spiritual Haze), with patches of green lotuses spontaneously appearing, while Lin Shijie manifested countless flames, complementing his Fire Forging Sword Intent!

Nine Heavens Hermit, on the other hand, manifested flasks of spirit wine!

This scene was magnificent to the extreme!

The Purple Mansion lecture also lasted for a full four days in the end!

That was four times longer than Qi Refining, and twice as long as Foundation Establishment!

By the time the lecture ended, all five had boundless light in their eyes!

"Shiming, at the Golden Core Ceremony in half a year, your lecture might need to be a bit more restrained!" Lin Xianzhi hesitated for a long time before speaking!

He then looked strange.

In the past, when someone gave a lecture, most people worried that the newly Breakthrough Cultivator's lecture might be lacking!

Especially for Cultivators who were not yet old, everyone's expectations would be much lower!

But now, in Lin Shiming's situation, he even worried that other Golden Core old monsters would become suspicious!

Because they were also somewhat suspicious at this moment.

"Seventh Grand Uncle, Shiming will pay attention to that then!" Lin Shiming also scratched his head involuntarily!

The effect of the lecture was beyond everyone else's expectations, and naturally, beyond his own expectations!
