482: Level 5 Spiritual Vein, Thick Earth Sword Sutra, and Gold Condensing Pill (two in one, please subscribe for a monthly ticket)

After leaving Chen Zhixian's room, Lin Shiming also headed towards Purple Jade Mountain.

Previously, he would have the leisure to sit on the first or second floor of the Lin Family Restaurant, gaze at the street outside the window, and savor ordinary Spirit Cuisine.

However, now, the entire Lin Family Restaurant was almost completely full, appearing quite noisy.

Even the streets of the market were bustling with Cultivators coming and going.

It was extraordinarily lively, and even in the corners, a large number of street stalls had appeared.

Although most Cultivators came for the Golden Core Ceremony's teachings, they would not miss such an Opportunity to earn Spirit Stones.

At this moment, many Cultivators from the Lin Family were also participating.

In the Lin Family, the longest-circulated item was the Golden Winged Mantis insect eggs purchased by Lin Shiming.

Even he himself had lectured in the Hall of Teachings, stating that the Opportunities in the Cultivation World were sometimes inherently wondrous.

Lin Shiming bypassed the market and returned to Purple Jade Mountain.

At this moment, Purple Jade Mountain was even more majestic, its body having been elevated significantly out of thin air, with its peak piercing the clouds, making it impossible to see the end. Only a sky full of white clouds floated, unmoving, as if it were an Immortal Peak connecting the Immortal Realm and the mortal world.

He suddenly stopped, seeing many Cultivators in the distance testing themselves on the Ascension Ladder.

Most of them were Loose Cultivators with their descendants or Disciples, while a smaller portion consisted of Family Cultivators.

And another person stood on the last step of the Ascension Ladder.

Lin Shiming immediately shook his head, sighed helplessly, then dispersed his Cultivation, and walked step by step up the ladder!

Many Cultivators also looked at Lin Shiming at this moment, suddenly filled with immense astonishment.

Naturally, many Cultivators had seen Lin Shiming's portrait!

Especially on Tianxiang Island, he was even deified.

Legend had it that he was the Reincarnation of a Sword Immortal, and only in this life did he possess a Dao Protecting Sword, capable of a Purple Mansion Cultivator directly confronting a Golden Core Cultivator.

Even though Lin Shiming currently had no halo, appearing like an ordinary Cultivator, he was still recognized.

"Senior Lin..."

Countless people began to stop and salute Lin Shiming.

The Lin Family members did the same.

Lin Shiming waved his hand, not replying to anyone, but instead walked up step by step.

At the end of the steps, the white-robed figure also stood at the very top, quietly watching Lin Shiming.

Until he was level with her.

Zhao Yulin did not speak, nor did Lin Shiming.

Lin Shiming knew what he desired.

Zhao Yulin also knew that Lin Shiming understood her meaning.

It was just that Lin Shiming did not owe Zhao Fuling anything; even the promised Tianliu Island, he had visited.

After they stood for ten breaths, Lin Shiming stepped up again, and on the last layer, he wrote with a brush.

"To seek the Heavenly Immortal Dao, how can you know my restless heart!"

As the ten characters fell, elegant and timeless, a surge of Sword Qi burst forth, soaring into the clouds, lingering for a long time.

Zhao Yulin also sighed.

Her Dao Heart was the same as Lin Shiming's, but what she couldn't let go of was Zhao Fuling.

However, Lin Shiming's words had already expressed much.

So she departed from the side.

Transforming into a white shadow, she finally vanished.

Throughout the entire process, the two did not speak a single word, yet it was as if all words had been spoken.

Lin Shiming watched her depart. Although there was a sigh, the figure in his heart became even more solidified.

There are always regrets in this world, but an unwavering Dao Heart is true to one's original intention.

Lin Shiming also departed, ascending Purple Jade Mountain, like an ethereal banished Immortal, disappearing into the mists.

Meanwhile, the Cultivators on the Ascension Ladder looked at those ten characters, and instantly their eyes shone with brilliance!

Countless Cultivators headed towards the last step of the Ascension Ladder, some even beginning to comprehend it on the spot.

However, the rule of the Lin Family's Ascension Ladder was that each person could only ascend once in their lifetime!

This made those who had already ascended instantly regretful, thinking if they had known of such an Opportunity, they would have saved their chance!

What surprised them, however, was that none of the Lin Family Cultivators were moved; their gazes were calm, and they even looked at the other Cultivators with a hint of strangeness!

One should know that in the Lin Family's Sword Pavilion, Lin Shiming had left a full Sword Intent.

Everyone had the chance to try the Sword Intent, which was incomparable to the ten characters Lin Shiming had casually written!

Moreover, the Lin Family also had the Sword Pavilion, with a full eighteen sword steps.

However, with Lin Shiming's inscription, the work of the Lin Family Cultivators undoubtedly increased significantly. The Loose Cultivators who were leisurely wandering and setting up stalls in the market almost all packed up their stalls and headed towards Purple Jade Mountain after this moment.

Earning Spirit Stones could be done anytime, but ascending the Ascension Ladder and viewing the inscription of a Golden Core True Person was not something that happened all the time... Lin Shiming was naturally unaware of these things. At this moment, he was in his Immortal Cave on Purple Jade Mountain, having already entered the Cave Heaven.

He took out the cloud token again. The cloud token still had characters on one side and a palace soaring above the clouds on the other.

On the palace, Immortal music lingered, Immortal cranes flew in all directions, and a city palace appeared within it.

Golden Armored Puppets patrolled the city walls.

Lin Shiming was even more surprised at this moment. Even though he was now a Golden Core Cultivator, he was still unconsciously pulled into the illusion.

And just then, the Golden Armored figure looked over.

Last time, with just that one glance, Lin Shiming was so startled that he broke out in a cold sweat and retreated.

But this time, he clearly saw a pair of surprised eyes!

It was as if those Golden Armor Puppets were alive, or had sentience!

Yet, Lin Shiming's heart was still in turmoil, because this was just a token.

Just then, another shout, which Lin Shiming did not understand, rang out. His Divine Soul trembled violently, and then he was once again outside the token.

The System prompt rang out again:

"Holding the cloud token, head to the Cloud Palace. You have a one-fifth chance of entering it! A four-fifths chance of death!"

As the System prompt sounded, Lin Shiming shook his head bitterly.

This cloud token seemed to be able to see the scene inside the Cloud Palace.

And according to the probability indicated by the System, it was highly likely that one cloud token corresponded to one Golden Armored Puppet. In other words, if the Golden Armored Puppet on the city wall that day did not match the cloud token, he could still die!

Moreover, it was highly probable that there were five people on the Cloud Palace!

Lin Shiming pondered. According to the System prompt, if he could hide not far from the Cloud Palace, and then wait for the Golden Armored Puppet that matched his cloud token, he might be able to enter the Cloud Palace and seek Opportunities!

Perhaps even Nascent Soul Opportunities could be found.

"Let's wait until my strength improves!" Lin Shiming shook his head. Although he had broken through to Golden Core and had fought with the Tai Gan Shark.

However, the number of Golden Core Cultivators in the Cloud Realm was probably countless.

Many had gone from the South Sea, there were already many in the Eastern Domain, plus the Northern Plains and Western Desert.

Lin Shiming put away the cloud token and began to take out a Star Bead, starting to comprehend the second Treasure Unlocking Art.

The Star Spirit Shell also flew out, releasing star spirit floss around Lin Shiming, allowing his Physical Body to automatically absorb the star spirit floss while he comprehended.

Time also passed silently again for seven days. Lin Shiming awoke from his Cultivation, with only two days left until the Golden Core Ceremony.

His achievements in these seven days were also extremely gratifying, having comprehended two spirit characters of the second Treasure Unlocking Art.

Lin Shiming walked out of his Immortal Cave. At this moment, Purple Jade Mountain had been decorated even more festively.

There were colorful lanterns and decorations everywhere. In the sky, Sea Cloud Birds constantly flew amidst the clouds, like a simplified version of a hundred Phoenixes coming to court.

Accompanied by firework Spells, auspicious signs continuously descended from the sky.

Furthermore, every few hours, the formation would be activated to condense a Lingxia (Spiritual Haze), and as the Lingxia (Spiritual Haze) dispersed, it would fall into Purple Jade Mountain, to be absorbed by some lucky Cultivators!

Besides the celestial phenomena, Purple Jade Mountain was also extremely lively. From the foot to the peak of Purple Jade Mountain, several plazas had now been arranged, covered with redwood tables and seats. Slightly higher plazas also had many pavilions.

Each pavilion had tables prepared by the Lin Family, and on the tables were spirit fruits and spirit wine!

The spirit fruits were mainly Third-Order Spirit Peach, primarily because too many Spirit Peach were produced when Lin Shiming broke through.

As for the spirit wine, there were various kinds, with Third-Order spirit wine being predominant in the pavilions.

The ordinary seats in the plaza mainly offered Second-Order monkey wine and qing ling wine.

At this moment, some Cultivators had already ascended the mountain. They carried congratulatory gifts and registered one by one on the mountainside.

The Cultivators responsible for receiving gifts continuously registered them.

Ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Qi Refining Cultivators naturally registered their names, while Purple Mansion Cultivators received cheers that echoed endlessly throughout Purple Jade Mountain.

At this moment, this was the earliest batch, mostly Purple Mansion Cultivators from Tianxiang Island, Nine Peaks Island, and Lianyun Island.

"Daoist Hongyu congratulates Immortal Master Qian Mu on his Major Achievement of Golden Core, and specially presents three Fourth-Order thousand-year-old spirit fruits, the Verdant Wood Fruit!"

"Daoist Heyuan from the Zhao Family congratulates Immortal Master Qian Mu on his Major Achievement of Golden Core, and specially presents three Fourth-Order flame crystals!"

...Continuous cheers rang out, and the Lingxia (Spiritual Haze) in the sky grew larger and denser, with shorter intervals between appearances!

The number of Cultivators on Purple Jade Mountain also increased, appearing as a dense mass, everyone filled with joy!

Some outgoing Cultivators had even begun to make many new friends.

And those Purple Mansion Cultivators were invited one by one into the pavilions!

The one responsible for receiving these Purple Mansion Cultivators was Lin Shijie. Among the Lin Family's Purple Mansion Cultivators, only Lin Shijie, Lin Shimo, and Lin Shitao were of the youngest generation.

Lin Shimo's personality was unsuitable, and Lin Shitao was currently in seclusion.

So only Lin Shijie could come forward.

As his eldest brother, Lin Shijie's demeanor was grand and unrestrained. Also being a Sword Cultivator, his reputation as the Five Flames Daoist was not low within the Tianxiang Island and even Rising Sun Island areas!

Compared to dealing with Nine Heavens Hermit, Lin Shijie made those Golden Core Cultivators feel more approachable.

"Immortal Master Hongye from Rising Sun Island congratulates Immortal Master Qian Mu on his Major Achievement of Golden Core, and presents a Low Grade Fifth-Order Spiritual Vein!"

With a resounding cheer, at this moment, all Cultivators turned their heads.

In the distance, Immortal Master Hongye, clad in red, floated gracefully and ascended to the mountain peak!

What she presented was a Fifth-Order Spiritual Vein!

A Fourth-Order Spiritual Vein was already quite precious in the South Sea. With the appearance of a Fifth-Order Spiritual Vein, all other congratulatory gifts immediately paled in comparison.

Even Lin Shiming was delighted by Immortal Master Hongye's gift!

What he lacked now was precisely a Fifth-Order Spiritual Vein!

Yet, he hadn't expected Immortal Master Hongye to send one already.

Moreover, Immortal Master Hongye appeared first instead of putting on airs, as Immortal Master Hongye was ostensibly Lin Shiming's superior!

Her actions indicated Immortal Master Hongye's attitude, placing Lin Shiming at a high level!

And to think, once upon a time, Lin Shiming stood before Immortal Master Hongye, still trembling with trepidation!

Now, Lin Shiming could even inwardly praise Immortal Master Hongye's beauty.

This was the difference!

Lin Shiming stepped out from the high platform and immediately went to greet her!

Other Cultivators could be invited by Lin Family members, and even ordinary Immortal Masters could be invited by Lin Family Immortal Masters!

But Immortal Master Hongye had to be personally invited by Lin Shiming.

"Thank you, Daoist Hongye!"

"Fellow Daoist Qian Mu has achieved Golden Core at such a young age; his future is limitless!"

Immortal Master Hongye did not stint on her praise!

Lin Shiming then began to flatter her.

After Immortal Master Hongye finished her congratulations, in the distance, cheers rang out again.

"Golden Core Loose Cultivator Immortal Master Kuangfeng congratulates Immortal Master Qian Mu on his Major Achievement of Golden Core, and presents a Core Formation Pill!"

If the previous Fifth-Order Spiritual Vein had shocked everyone, then at this moment, the Core Formation Pill presented by Immortal Master Kuangfeng made countless Cultivators' eyes burn with fervor!

Especially those Purple Mansion Cultivators, who at this moment wished they could rush forward and seize the Core Formation Pill!

One should know that this treasure, the Core Formation Pill, was an exceedingly rare item for any Family or any force!

The South Sea Cultivation World had not heard of an auction for a Core Formation Pill for over a thousand years!

It wasn't that Cultivators couldn't afford it, but that no one was selling it!

Just then, the Lingxia (Spiritual Haze) in the sky once again brought auspicious signs!

This time, the coverage was wider, larger, and the Spiritual Qi was even purer!

And numerous Lin Family Spirit Snakes and giant pythons also soared in the sky, like auspicious Dragons bestowing blessings.

The cloud pythons and sea birds complemented each other, pushing the entire Golden Core Ceremony to another climax!

Although the Sea Cloud Birds were not Phoenixes, and the Spirit Snakes were not true Dragons!

But for the Lin Family, representing themselves as a Spirit Snake Family, with Fourth-Order Spirit Snakes and Fourth-Order Sea Cloud Birds bestowing blessings, it appeared even grander!

Lin Shiming followed suit, stepping forward to invite Immortal Master Kuangfeng.

He hadn't expected Immortal Master Kuangfeng to give him a Core Formation Pill!

One should know that this Core Formation Pill was prepared by Immortal Master Kuangfeng for his son-in-law.

Of course, now that Zhao Yulin had also broken through to Golden Core, his son-in-law would at least need to be a Golden Core Cultivator, so the Core Formation Pill indeed had no use!

However, even so, Lin Shiming had to acknowledge Immortal Master Kuangfeng's favor!

Immortal Master Kuangfeng patted Lin Shiming's shoulder, signaling him to continue working hard!

"Immortal Master Tian Liu True Person from Tianliu Island presents a Fifth-Order Sword Art Cultivation Technique, the Thick Earth Sword Scripture!"

The cheers rang out loudly once more. At this moment, some noticed that the Cultivator cheering seemed to lack some strength!

One should know that the one cheering was a Peak Foundation Establishment Cultivator, whose face was now red, and his roars sounded somewhat hoarse!

However, no one dared to mock him. On the contrary, if they were cheering, they felt they would be the same; not shouting until their throats were hoarse would be a disservice to the current grand spectacle!

A Fifth-Order Spiritual Vein, a Core Formation Pill, a Fifth-Order Thick Earth Sword Scripture!

Which of these treasures, if word got out, wouldn't shock the South Sea?

And these were all from prominent figures in the South Sea!

Just then, the spiritual rain in the sky grew heavier, and countless Water Spirit Shells appeared in the sky, beginning to sprinkle water spirit pearls!

Each water spirit pearl was filled with Spiritual Qi, emitting rays of light!

The entire Purple Jade Mountain instantly began to boil with excitement!

Those Cultivators who luckily obtained them were ecstatic; even those who didn't were caught up in this frenzy.

Lin Shiming continued forward, inviting Immortal Master Tian Liu True Person to her seat!

As Immortal Master Tian Liu True Person took her seat, the cheers in the distance once again rang out continuously!
