505: Sixty-carved sword stone, you are happy (two combined into one to pray for the moon to float)

Inside Tai Bai Sword Palace, Lin Family's group of two people, four Spirit Beasts, and two Demons, headed towards the sword carving stone steps together.

At this moment, a small portion of the sword carving stone steps was still empty, precisely eighteen sword carving stones.

Above the sword carving stone steps, the four characters of Tai Bai Sword Palace were equally grand and awe-inspiring, inspiring reverence in people's hearts.

Lin Shiming did not act immediately, but instead sat down on the spot to recover his True Essence.

The others, seeing this, were quite curious. After all, they had only been to the Scripture Pavilion so far, and Lin Houshou had even suggested going to the other five passages to look for treasures.

Lin Shiming also nodded, letting them go, while he continued to sit and Cultivate.

Lin Shiming also generously allowed the Spirit Beasts to go.

From the moment he gave them names, Lin Shiming's restrictions on these Spirit Beasts would gradually lessen.

He was already in the Golden Core Stage, and most of these Spirit Beasts were in the Purple Mansion Realm. It would become increasingly difficult for them to keep up with his pace.

If these Spirit Beasts could find their own position within the Lin Family, perhaps it would be better sometimes.

While Lin Shiming hesitated, these Spirit Beasts, Wood Demons, and Lin Houshou all disappeared together from before the mountain gate.

However, they didn't search for long before Lin Houshou was the first to return. After returning, he chose another passage.

After searching two passages, Lin Houshou eventually had no choice but to give up.

The previous Qingxuan Sect Cultivators had plundered too fiercely, leaving barely any stone tables or stone benches.

Even the beams and pillars had been dismantled, which was also why Lin Shiming did not continue searching.

He naturally found nothing, and finally, next to Lin Shiming, he began to study the Book of Hidden Paths.

The other few Spirit Beasts also returned empty-handed, but Old Wood and Lin Shicha were beaming with joy.

He and Thunder Child, Lin Shizhu, had acquired a good amount of spirit soil in the Spirit Herb Garden.

Although the harvest wasn't huge, for the two of them, it was their first treasure hunt, and the joy of it was the most important thing.

By the next day, the System notification finally refreshed, and as expected, the notification was about the sword carving stone steps.

[Please operate the Book of Hidden Paths to its extreme, covering the sword carving stone steps. You will have ten breaths of time to use the Spirit Devouring Ants to collect the sword carving stones!]

As soon as the System notification appeared, Lin Shiming was overjoyed.

Now, the two Spirit Devouring Ants were also Purple Mansion Great Demons, and their swallowing strength was immeasurably greater than before. In ten breaths of time, with ninety sword carving stones, he was confident he could collect half of them.

This way, the Lin Family's Sword Pavilion could expand fivefold again!

He began to form hand seals, and the Treasure Unlocking Art slowly appeared. A Book of Hidden Paths also enveloped the sword carving stone steps!

With surges of Spirit Light, the sword carving stone steps seemed to be collected by Lin Shiming's Book of Hidden Paths.

And in that instant, Lin Shiming also released the two Purple Mansion Spirit Devouring Ants, sending them to bite at the connections of the sword carving stones.

Each time a sword carving stone was bitten off, Lin Shiming would put it into his Immortal Cave.

The speed of the two Spirit Devouring Ants was indeed as he expected, much faster than before. Back then, he had eighty-one Spirit Devouring Ants.

Now there were only two, and one of them could bite off three sword carving stones in one breath. In ten breaths, a total of sixty sword carving stones were collected!

As the last breath of time arrived, he felt a terrifying aura appear. Lin Shiming's expression instantly changed drastically. Just as he was about to react, he found that the Spirit Light had already shattered the space of the Book of Hidden Paths, exposing it within the Tai Bai Sword Palace!

And it transformed into a vortex, emitting a terrifying suction force towards the group.

The suction force was so immense that even Lin Shiming, resisting with all his might, couldn't withstand it, and eventually entered the passage.

At the same time, at this moment, an ancient pressure fell upon him.

In an instant, it made him feel an unbearable sense of oppression.

And it was important to know that Lin Shiming was a Golden Core Body Cultivator, which made him somewhat worried about the safety of Lin Houshou and the others.

Soon, the vortex teleported Lin Shiming and Lin Houshou and the others, all out of the Tai Bai Sword Palace.

With the appearance of the valley, the two Purple Mansion Spirit Devouring Ants were also a bit confused, starting to fly around in the valley.

They couldn't understand why the sword carving stones were gone.

There were still thirty sword carving stones there, and they only needed five breaths of time.

The confusion of the two Spirit Devouring Ants only dissipated when Lin Shiming took out another type of spirit ore and some spirit beast meat.

One by one, they chirped wildly and ran back, beginning to feast heartily!

The other four Spirit Beasts and two Demons had been taken into the Immortal Cave by Lin Shiming beforehand.

Of course, at this moment, within the Immortal Cave, the Autumn Blood Sword and the other five Spirit Communication Swords were all stunned, utterly astonished by the sixty newly appeared sword carving stones!

The Ying Feng Sword was also dumbfounded at this moment. He somewhat believed that the Yan Yang Sword must be doing well.

After all, aside from not looking like a Sword Cultivator, Lin Shiming was otherwise impeccable, and his methods were surprisingly numerous.

The Autumn Blood Sword and Lei Ming Sword were fine, but the Ying Feng Sword began to examine Lin Shiming's Immortal Cave and started asking Old Wood and Thunder Child, who had just entered, and others...

"Second Uncle, we can go out now. It's time to return to the South Sea!" With the sword carving stones and the Spirit Communication Swords in hand, he also learned about the Realm above the Sword Domain.

This time, the harvest was enormous.

Although he also wanted to try his luck in the Cloud Realm, the situation in the South Sea was changing daily. Whether it was Real Person Jiuxiao's Breakthrough or the Coral Alliance's Golden Core Ceremony, both were opportunities, opportunities that could affect the overall situation.

"Good!" Lin Houshou nodded. His purpose in coming this time was to assist Lin Shiming, and their harvest this time was already immense.

In terms of resources alone, the fu ling fire mulberry fruit tree, the taiqing purple jade fruit tree, several three-to-four-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicines, sixty sword carving stones, and the fifth-order Formation analysis Legacy.

All of it left him extremely satisfied.

Lin Shiming once again took out the Crane Shadow Boat, and then the Eternal Night Umbrella, heading towards the hill from which they had arrived.

The scenery of the hill was still as it was. As Lin Shiming took out the Taiyi Sword Grass and once again slashed a sword into the Void Realm, a vortex passage reappeared in the Void Realm.

The two stepped out and appeared in the Qingxuan Mountain Range.

Lin Shiming's Divine Sense once again spread out, extending towards the surrounding area.

However, after sweeping it over and over again, there was still no answer.

Lin Houshou at this moment also looked at Lin Shiming with confusion, not knowing what Lin Shiming was looking for.

Although this place was occupied by some Foundation Establishment forces, everything else was unremarkable, and there were no Spiritual Veins above the third order.

"Second Uncle, this Qingxuan Sect is not simple; we've suffered a loss!" Lin Shiming said.

At these words, Lin Houshou still didn't understand, but then, thinking of their actions on this trip, he suddenly realized.

"This method is unheard of!" Lin Houshou was also extremely surprised.

If Lin Shiming hadn't said it, he wouldn't have even considered it.

Lin Shiming also looked towards the Northern Plains with both eyes. He had just covered the area with his Divine Sense, wanting to figure out if the Qingxuan Sect was nearby.

Only a few days had passed since the Qingxuan Sect's departure. If the Qingxuan Sect's Cultivators had already infiltrated the vicinity, his Divine Sense would definitely have detected them.

However, there were no clues, nor had they been discovered by the Heavenly Demon Sect.

This indicated that the Qingxuan Sect could enter this Secret Realm from the Northern Plains.

This kind of spatial Teleportation already exceeded the scope of a normal Teleportation Array!

Normal Secret Realms are also entered through spatial nodes, just like Lin Shiming. If he wanted to enter the Small World, he had to go through the Taiyi Sword Grass and be at a specific location to enter.

However, Lin Shiming also estimated that such a secret method should have limitations, otherwise, it wouldn't be just Foundation Establishment Cultivators and some Purple Mansion Golden Core Foundation Establishment Clones appearing in the Small World.

After understanding, Lin Shiming once again took out his spirit boat and flew towards the Jiuyang Mountain Range.

The Teleportation Array was still intact. After Lin Shiming teleported to Fangmu Island, he then teleported to Shuangmu Island again.

As soon as Lin Shiming arrived at Shuangmu Island, he immediately felt a tense atmosphere. The entire Shuangmu Island's island-protecting Formation was fully activated, and many Cultivators in the sky were standing by in strict Formation.

Among those at the forefront was Lin Shiyi, who was now a Purple Mansion Cultivator.

"Congratulations, Second Brother!" Lin Shiming quickly cupped his fists in congratulation.

At this moment, the Lin Family finally had a second Purple Mansion Body Cultivator. With Lin Shiyi's Body Cultivator strength, it was highly possible for him to achieve Golden Core in the future.

The experience in the Chilan Sea Area had indeed allowed Lin Shijie to grow considerably.

"Not bad, Shiyi!" Lin Houshou also said with a smile.

But then Lin Shiyi spoke again:

"Second Uncle, you need to work harder, or Ze Lu will catch up to you!" Lin Shiyi said.

Lin Shiming's Divine Sense also sensed, and sure enough, on Qinglian Peak, he found Lin Zelu, who was in seclusion consolidating his cultivation. The latter had also broken through to Purple Mansion.

Moreover, not only Lin Zelu, but Lin Zeli had also broken through. Evidently, during this period, the Lin Family experienced another wave of Purple Mansion Breakthroughs!

As a result, the number of Purple Mansion Cultivators in the Lin Family now exceeded ten.

"Shiming, but the one who should be congratulated most is you!" Lin Shiyi then said with a smile.

This made Lin Shiming a little confused, but a vague guess suddenly formed in his heart.

"Shitao is pregnant!" Lin Shiyi said.

At this moment, Lin Shiming also felt a pleasant surprise, and Lin Houshou next to him was also overjoyed.

"Shiming, this matter must be celebrated grandly!"

"It must be on the same scale as a Golden Core Ceremony!" Lin Houshou said seriously, without the slightest hint of joking.

Lin Shiming having offspring was absolutely the most important matter for the Lin Family.

One must know that his current status within the clan, even Lin Xianzhi could not compare to Lin Shiming.

Those of the Ze Generation, Yan Generation, and even the current Chang generation, all grew up listening to Lin Shiming's legends.

"I'll go see Shitao first!" Lin Shiming was also incredibly surprised!

Although many Lin Family members were currently protecting Nine Heavens Hermit's Breakthrough, Lin Shiming found it hard to suppress his joy.

He headed towards the Immortal Cave on Thousand Wood Peak.

Unintentionally, it was now the flowering season again. The entire Thousand Wood Peak was immersed in the fragrance of peach blossoms, and countless Spirit Seeking Bees hovered over Thousand Wood Peak.

Since Lin Shiming's Breakthrough, which caused the Yi Wood anomaly, Thousand Wood Peak had become a Holy Land for peach blossoms and Spirit Seeking Bees.

The Lin Family now produced three types of spirit honey: High Grade third-order spirit honey, Low Grade third-order spirit honey, and second-order spirit honey.

Most of the spirit honey would be sold to the Li Family's various restaurants. Through Lin Yanjiao's development, the entire Coral Island, except for a few islands like Golden Thunder Island, now had Lin Family Restaurants.

In front of Lin Shitao's Immortal Cave, a pot of clear tea was quietly brewing, brewing ordinary mingxin tea.

Lin Shitao also walked out of the Immortal Cave. Seeing Lin Shiming, she directly embraced him.

Lin Shiming's trip to the Eastern Region this time took nearly two months, which for Cultivation might only be the duration of a single seclusion.

But Lin Shitao was pregnant, so naturally, she couldn't go into seclusion, nor could she practice Alchemy. At this time, the most important thing was to nurture the fetus.

Every day, she drank refreshing spirit tea and ate Spirit Cuisine rich in vital Qi.

For this, the Lin Family had personally selected the best Spirit Cuisine master.

"You've worked hard!" Lin Shiming held Lin Shitao.

He couldn't help but look at Lin Shitao's belly. Although Lin Shiming had lived two lives and was now nearly two hundred years old, this was his first time being a father, and this feeling was very profound.

"Seventh Brother, I feel like it's Ze Ying!" Lin Shitao beamed with a smile, just like the peach blossoms blooming brightly all over the mountain.

The entire Thousand Wood Peak was filled with warm spring breezes!

Lin Shiming gently nodded, embracing Lin Shitao, and carefully admired the peach blossoms.

His mood at this moment was also extremely comfortable.

Not only for the joyous occasion, but also for the future's uncertainties, this time, he had made sufficient preparations.

Let the Coral Sea Area change if it will.

Even if people from the Heavenly Demon Sect came knocking, he was no longer so afraid.

After drinking a pot of mingxin tea, Lin Shiming also felt a fragrant tea aroma spread throughout his body, enjoying the long-lost comfort.

"Oh right, Shitao, this is a new Cultivation Technique I found in the Tai Bai Sword Palace!" Lin Shiming took out the Fiery Essence True Canon. This was also an Earth Rank Cultivation Technique, which would help Lin Shitao Breakthrough to Golden Core.

The higher the Cultivation Technique, the greater the chance of success.

Lin Shitao was already at the Peak of the Mid Purple Mansion Realm, and it wouldn't take long for her to Breakthrough to Purple Mansion Late Stage.

However, she would need to temper herself more in the Purple Mansion Late Stage Realm.

After all, Golden Core involved a Lightning Tribulation.

"Oh right, Seventh Brother, Seventh Grand Uncle said that there are signs of another beast tide near Jiuyue Island!" Lin Shitao said with some concern.

Currently, Lin Xianzhi was guarding Jiuyue Island.

So after Lin Shiming left, Lin Shitao was, on the contrary, the highest-cultivated person on Shuangmu Island.

Lin Zeli, Lin Zelu, and Lin Shiyi had all just broken through to Purple Mansion.

"No worries, this time we are well prepared!" Lin Shiming said confidently.

It would be good if a beast tide came. The Lin Family needed Purple Mansion Peak or Golden Core Demon Kings to come.

After all, the five Spirit Communication Swords had not yet been transformed into Spirit Cultivators.

Seeing Lin Shiming's confident demeanor, Lin Shitao also smiled sweetly, continuing to pour him spirit tea.

But after much thought, Lin Shitao showed some anxious worry.

"Seventh Brother, what if Ze Ying doesn't have a Spiritual Root..." Lin Shitao didn't dare to continue.

For Cultivators, the greatest fear is that their descendants lack a Spiritual Root. With a Cultivator's long life, if their descendants have no Spiritual Root, they will inevitably experience the sorrow of seeing their children die before them.

This is also why many Cultivators prefer to Cultivate their entire lives rather than attempt to have offspring.

"Don't worry, there will be one. Otherwise, turtle spirit coconuts wouldn't sell so well!" Lin Shiming said confidently.

The Lin Family's current prosperity, with no shortage of Purple Mansion Spirit Medicines, besides Lin Shiming, the greatest credit goes to the fourth-order turtle spirit coconut!
