477: Spiritual Vein Accumulation Talisman, Immortal Gathering Talisman (two in one, please give me a monthly ticket)
In the densely packed hall, illuminated by moonstones, the Immortal Caves resembled a beehive, spread throughout every corner.
Some of these Immortal Caves shimmered with light, containing profound mysteries, while others were dim, as if long neglected.
It looked extremely peculiar!
Yu Jing's gaze, however, was not on those Immortal Caves, but rather on some of the furnishings within the hall.
Her eyes shifted from tenderness to nostalgia, and from nostalgia to resentment.
She looked for a long time, as if trying to discern the past glory of the Xu Family, or the prosperous scenes of yesteryear.
Finally, she let out a long sigh and continued her introduction:
“Senior Lin, these one hundred and eight Lingfu Dongtian (Spirit Talisman Grotto-heaven) are also the true Legacy of the Xu Family. Within each Immortal Cave, there is a talisman that guards it. The Xu Family was once a Golden Core Family, renowned in the South Sea. At that time, the Yun Yue Archipelago did not yet belong to the Chilan Sect. At its Peak, there were as many as thirty Fifth-Order talismans and sixty High Grade Fourth-Order talismans here. It’s just that later, it gradually declined, and more and more talismans were taken out…”
Yu Jing spoke with emotion, shifting from initial excitement and pride to a later sense of melancholy.
And Lin Shiming finally understood.
Presumably, those that were lit still contained talismans, while those that were dim had already had their talismans removed!
And at this moment, only a mere ten or so Immortal Caves were still lit, standing out among the many, and most of them were probably Fourth-Order talismans!
“Senior Lin, Yu Jing will not take these Legacies. Having achieved some revenge on this trip, Yu Jing has fulfilled most of her wish, and her Dao Heart has become much more complete!” Yu Jing cupped her hands and then stopped.
Lin Shiming said nothing upon seeing this. It had been made clear before coming to Tai Gan Abyss that the treasures within the Immortal Caves would belong to the Lin Family, while the Legacy would be shared with Yu Jing.
“Shiyun, Zeli, you two also go and each take an Immortal Cave. The talismans inside will be yours, but be sure to use a Jade Slip to record all the talisman-making techniques and essentials on the walls!” Lin Shiming added.
From the current situation, it seemed that the Xu Family’s wealth or assets were probably not here.
Then the most precious things here were the talisman crafting formulas.
Lin Shiyun and Lin Zeli both nodded quickly, both a little excited, especially the latter, who had not had many opportunities to visit Secret Realms or search for treasures. Apart from the Lin Family’s own Secret Realms, she rarely went on adventures.
This mysterious and unpredictable feeling was what made them yearn for it the most!
The main reason was that Zeli was not very old now; although she was in the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, her age was still only around sixty!
Moreover, most of this time had been spent in Cultivation.
After speaking, Lin Shiming also found a bright Immortal Cave higher up and walked into it.
Inside the Immortal Cave, numerous Spirit Runes were still present, and it was these Spirit Runes that emitted light.
Lin Shiming was surprised by the Immortal Cave's appearance and couldn't help but touch it, feeling a massive amount of Spiritual Qi circulating within the walls!
It was like the blood vessels of a human body, truly astonishing!
Lin Shiming turned around at this moment and looked at the Immortal Cave again. Suddenly, he became very interested in the talismans within these Immortal Caves!
This Xu Family was truly not simple!
If he wasn't mistaken, it was likely that the Lingfu Dongtian (Spirit Talisman Grotto-heaven) here was similar to his Spirit Vein Nurturing Treasure technique!
However, the Spirit Vein Nurturing Treasure technique nurtured Magic Treasures, while here, it seemed to nurture talismans!
Using a Spiritual Vein to nurture one hundred and eight talismans, this Xu Family truly achieved a great feat!
Lin Shiming continued walking forward, and on the walls of the Immortal Cave, more talisman crafting techniques appeared.
The talismans here were not for attack, but rather for calming Qi and enhancing Cultivation, allowing Cultivators to better settle into their Cultivation, undisturbed by external factors, and also to reduce Heart Demons!
This kind of talisman was more like the Mind Calming Talismans found in Buddhist Sects.
From the outside to the inside of the Immortal Cave, Second-Order Mind Calming Talismans, Third-Order Qi Stabilizing Talismans, and Fourth-Order Dust Heart Talismans appeared one by one.
When Lin Shiming reached the depths of the Immortal Cave, he saw a black knee-high Spirit Table with an ancient and fragrant aura. On the table, a palm-sized talisman rested.
In front of the Spirit Table were two meditation cushions and a simple stone bed for Cultivation!
Other than that, there were no other spiritual objects!
Lin Shiming walked to the table, first bowing slightly, which was considered a junior's courtesy.
Although by the seniority of Cultivators, he could already be considered the greatest Senior, they were, after all, ancestors who had passed away!
The deceased are to be respected!
The table was surprisingly clean. Although many years had passed and everything in the hall had changed, this Spirit Table still resembled a piece of black jade.
One end of the talisman was connected to the table, and at this moment, strands of spiritual threads passed through the Spirit Table, connecting with the talisman.
This also confirmed Lin Shiming's conjecture.
“Dust Heart Talisman!” Lin Shiming had recorded the talisman refining secret techniques within the Immortal Cave, and he already knew that this talisman was the Dust Heart Talisman.
With this Fourth-Order Dust Heart Talisman, combined with the purple profound treasure jade, it could almost be comparable to the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, making it an extremely formidable talisman.
Moreover, even for those plagued by Heart Demons, with this Dust Heart Talisman, they could become as indifferent as dust, fearless of Heart Demon troubles during Cultivation!
Cultivation would be twice as effective with half the effort!
It was also extremely beneficial for Lin Shimo and Lin Houshou!
This kind of talisman was what the Lin Family truly needed, and it was extremely difficult to purchase externally!
Lin Shiming carefully took down the talisman and rubbed it gently in his palm, feeling a terrifying surge of Spiritual Qi. His state of mind suddenly became clear, and many of the worries in his heart vanished completely at that moment!
Lin Shiming was even more surprised. This Spiritual Vein gathering not only preserved the talisman's characteristics!
It also truly enhanced the talisman's effects by several layers, just like nurturing a Magic Treasure!
He even wondered if, given enough time, this talisman could become Fifth-Order, or even Sixth-Order?
Or perhaps, would the talisman gain sentience?
Like the Spirit Race!
Lin Shiming put the talisman into a jade box, then hesitated for a moment, and also took down the Spirit Table, putting it away together!
Unlike the Spirit Rune gathering method on the wall, which was just a Formation, the one on this table was crucial for the talisman to absorb Spiritual Qi!
With this Spirit Table, perhaps the Lin Family could also create a Lingfu Dongtian (Spirit Talisman Grotto-heaven).
This would not only improve the Lin Family's talisman refining skills but also provide the Lin Family with several additional means, whether for combat or Cultivation assistance.
It could even be comparable to the foundational Legacy of families like the Sword Pavilion and Illusion Heart Pavilion!
It's just the Formation outside... Lin Shiming couldn't help but look at Yu Jing outside with his Divine Sense, then shook his head, turned his gaze, left the Immortal Cave, and continued to investigate other Immortal Caves!
The second Immortal Cave contained a Thunder Sword Talisman, which was less shocking to Lin Shiming, but under the activation of the Spiritual Vein, this High Grade Fourth-Order Thunder Sword Talisman shimmered with endless thunder light.
It was comparable to the Golden Thunder Bamboo when it drew lightning!
Its effect, if he wasn't mistaken, could rival the full-power strike of a Peak Purple Mansion lightning Cultivator!
Such a method was already extremely astonishing!
It was most suitable to be given to Lin Shitao as a trump card!
Lin Shiming also put away the Spirit Table.
Next, Lin Shiming continued to visit five more Immortal Caves, and as expected, all contained High Grade Fourth-Order talismans!
Among them were the Heavenly Soldier Talisman, which could rival the Peak strike of a Purple Mansion Cultivator, the Earth Formation Talisman, which could trap and kill enemies, and the Fourth-Order Calamity Substitution Talisman.
At this moment, Lin Shiyun and Lin Zeli were also excited, wanting to tell Lin Shiming about their discoveries, yet somewhat worried that Lin Shiming already knew.
Lin Shiming, however, ignored their gazes and looked at the last Immortal Cave.
The last Immortal Cave was three zhang high, a full zhang taller than the other lit Immortal Caves!
The Spirit Runes on it were even more dense, and the Spirit Light was countless.
Lin Shiming entered the Immortal Cave. This time, the Second-Order talisman method on the wall was a simple Spirit Gathering Talisman.
The Third-Order talisman crafting method was a Qi Gathering Talisman.
The Fourth-Order talisman crafting method was a Spirit Eye Talisman!
Lin Shiming didn't feel much about the Spirit Gathering Talisman and the Qi Gathering Talisman, but the Spirit Eye Talisman, once cast, could absorb a massive amount of Spiritual Qi!
It could condense a Spiritual Qi Eye that lasted for a full year!
For Cultivation, it was several times better than the Lin Family's water spirit pearl, and it was targeted at Purple Mansion Cultivators, making it a treasure-like existence!
Lin Shiming was still somewhat expectant at this point, because the end of the Immortal Cave was still quite long. Sure enough, after the Spirit Eye Talisman, there was also a Gathering Immortal Talisman.
The Spirit Runes of this talisman were carved with extreme force, and the Spiritual Qi surged even more, appearing somewhat mesmerizing!
Its effect also greatly astonished Lin Shiming!
The effect of this talisman could temporarily raise a Fifth-Order Spiritual Vein by two minor levels!
Even if used alone, it could rival a year's worth of Spiritual Qi from a Fifth-Order Spiritual Vein!
The Spiritual Qi gathered was enormous!
Most importantly, it could improve the quality of the Spiritual Vein's Spiritual Qi!
Lin Shiming was somewhat stunned!
The higher the Cultivation, the better the Spiritual Vein required. And at the Fifth-Order Spiritual Vein level, Lin Shiming had only seen them in large Sects and prominent Families; in other places, even where Yao Beasts gathered, he had only seen Low Grade Fifth-Order Spiritual Veins!
Currently, the Lin Family didn't even possess a Low Grade Fifth-Order Spiritual Vein!
The highest they had was the High Grade Fourth-Order Spiritual Vein within his Immortal Cave.
If this talisman were used, it could even raise a Low Grade Fifth-Order Spiritual Vein to a High Grade Fifth-Order Spiritual Vein for a certain period!
If it were usually, it wouldn't be much, but if it were at a critical moment for a Golden Core Breakthrough, it could almost increase the probability by several layers. Or if a Fifth-Order island-guarding Formation were used for defense, this Gathering Immortal Talisman could completely be considered an Immortal Talisman-like existence!
Lin Shiming only felt a little hot-handed!
If the Lin Family's Spiritual Vein were a Medium Grade Fifth-Order Spiritual Vein, combined with the Gathering Immortal Talisman, then at that time, it would probably be completely sufficient to attempt a Nascent Soul Breakthrough!
Moreover, this Gathering Immortal Talisman, unlike other talismans, if its full power was not used up, could be continuously placed in a place with abundant Spiritual Qi to be nurtured for several decades, allowing it to recover and be used again!
Lin Shiming walked excitedly towards the black jade table!
This table had eight legs, and was larger and wider!
The talisman on it could now be clearly seen; compared to other Fourth-Order talismans, this Fifth-Order talisman was actually smaller!
However, the spiritual light emanating from it, even just a glance from Lin Shiming, made him feel somewhat dizzy!
Countless spiritual lights outlined within it, crisscrossing, a stroke of genius, appearing very complex!
At this moment, after being nurtured by this Lingfu Dongtian (Spirit Talisman Grotto-heaven) for many years, there seemed to be a faint spirituality on the talisman!
The feeling it gave Lin Shiming was somewhat similar to when the Lin Family's Golden Thunder Bamboo was about to develop spirituality!
It's just that the process should still take a long time!
Lin Shiming put the Gathering Immortal Talisman into his pouch and then took down the eight-legged table!
However, within the Immortal Cave, the Legacy of the Xu Family's Old Ancestor was not seen.
It seems the Xu Family's Old Ancestor did not die of old age within the Immortal Cave; instead, he should have died outside. Otherwise, the Yun Yue Three Families, even if they rebelled, would not dare to be so blatant.
A Golden Core Cultivator, as long as he is not dead, his deterrent power is the most terrifying existence!
Even a Sect, if it doesn't have absolute certainty, would not completely offend a Golden Core Loose Cultivator!
Lin Shiming sighed with emotion, then also walked out of the Immortal Cave!
At this moment, Lin Shiyun and Lin Zeli had already begun communicating with Yu Jing!
And Yu Jing suddenly took a deep breath, and at this moment, she boldly stepped forward:
“Senior Lin, Yu Jing dares to say that she happens to know the Spirit Vein Grand Formation of the Lingfu Dongtian (Spirit Talisman Grotto-heaven). It only requires a Fourth-Order Spiritual Vein to set up a new Lingfu Dongtian (Spirit Talisman Grotto-heaven). Yu Jing is willing to set it up for the Lin Family wholeheartedly, without expecting anything in return!” Yu Jing said, and at this moment, she was extremely devout!
The temptation for the Lin Family was also immense; Lin Shiyun and Lin Zeli beside her were both somewhat moved!
After all, Yu Jing was about to marry Lin Shijin, and she had also passed the test of the Illusion Heart Pavilion!
In terms of relationships, Yu Jing could be partially trusted.
But Lin Shiming knew that Yu Jing was still thinking about revenge.
It's just that it had already become an overt scheme!
It had even been brought to the table.
As long as he could refine the Lingfu Dongtian (Spirit Talisman Grotto-heaven), then Yu Jing's future Breakthrough to Purple Mansion would make her another Nine Heavens Hermit for the Lin Family!
At that time, with her prestige in talismans, she would be able to persuade some other Lin Family members to help him!
Especially the Lin Family members who owed a debt of gratitude to Lin Shijin and his wife!
At that time, even if Lin Shiming couldn't save Face, he would still take action!
“I agree to it!” But even so, Lin Shiming ultimately agreed to Yu Jing!
Having seen the benefits of the Lingfu Dongtian (Spirit Talisman Grotto-heaven), he couldn't refuse!
Even he himself needed it!
Moreover, the future impact of this Lingfu Dongtian (Spirit Talisman Grotto-heaven) might even be greater than that of the Illusion Heart Pavilion!
It's just the Yun Yue Three Families; even if there were Golden Core Cultivators behind them, he could make them disappear!
Even from another perspective, if Yu Jing were to bear Lin Shijin's child, could he really just stand by and watch Lin Shijin and his wife go for revenge alone?
“Thank you, Senior Lin!”
“The Lin Family should thank you. When you and Shijin get married, I will give you a grand gift!” Lin Shiming said!
Lin Shijin was currently in Breakthrough. After his Breakthrough, he would also be in the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, and he would have a chance to enter the Purple Mansion as well!
In the future, the Lin Family would have more and more Fourth-Order Talisman Masters!
“Thank you, Senior Lin!” Yu Jing's Face suddenly flushed slightly.
Her feelings for Lin Shijin were naturally genuine. A man who would Face a wall for twenty years for her, still striving to win her over!
How could she not be moved!
“Still calling me Senior?” Lin Shiming raised an eyebrow and asked back.
“Seventh Brother!” Yu Jing instantly became even more like a blushing young lady from a prominent Family!
“Everyone, please bear with it. Find the remaining talismans one by one and engrave them with Jade Slips!”
“Yu Jing, you too. This is Tai Gan Abyss. If we are slow, there might be unforeseen changes!” Lin Shiming said.
Yu Jing also nodded.
And Lin Shiming also entered an Immortal Cave, once again searching for talismans and recording them.
