514: Trade again, don’t want to just watch (please give me a monthly ticket and subscribe!)

In the fifth-floor meeting hall of Lin Family Restaurant, everyone was somewhat surprised to hear that Immortal Master Xueshan was about to Undergo Tribulation and make a Breakthrough.

However, after the surprise, they nodded.

After all, the Coral Alliance currently needed a Nascent Soul Cultivator, otherwise, one of the six major powers in the South Sea would be a joke.

Before everyone could recover, Real Person Hongye glanced at Tian Liu True Person and spoke again:

"Additionally, we received news that Immortal Master Golden Thunder will collude with other forces to prevent Immortal Master Xueshan from breaking through. There is a high probability that the Yao Race and the Heavenly Illumination Sect are involved!"

"So we must repel the Yao Race!" Real Person Hongye declared.

As soon as these words came out, the other Immortal Masters were once again in an uproar.

Tian Liu True Person and Real Person Qianji, however, remained calm.

"Impossible, doesn't Golden Thunder have an oath of the heavenly dao? Didn't he sign the Sect Jade Book?" True Person Yutong asked.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiming was also curious, because he had signed it at the time. He had no chance to betray the Coral Alliance. In the future, unless his strength became greater than the main island of the Coral Alliance, he might be able to replace Coral Island.

He could become the Alliance Leader, but that was all. He couldn't monopolize the entire Coral Alliance.

"When the Coral Alliance was first established, Thousand Machine Island, Xueshan Island, and Golden Thunder Island were the main islands that proposed forming the Coral Alliance. The one who made the oath of the heavenly dao not to betray Golden Thunder Island was not the current Immortal Master Golden Thunder, but Immortal Master Golden Thunder's great-granduncle!"

"Now, three to four thousand years have passed!"

"Immortal Master Golden Thunder and I are actually not bound by such restrictions!" Real Person Qianji said, speaking very frankly!

Apparently, the Coral Alliance did have an oath of the heavenly dao and a Sect Jade Book!

But those who signed this Jade Book and the oath of the heavenly dao had long since ascended or passed away.

Immortal Master Golden Thunder and Real Person Qianji, due to their strength not being inferior to Immortal Master Xueshan, had always postponed signing, citing the cultivation of a secret technique.

And since the interests of the three islands were intertwined, there were no signs from Coral Island, making it impossible to determine if Golden Thunder Island would defect.

What's more, in the last century's calamity, Golden Thunder Island suffered the most severe losses, so Immortal Master Xueshan could not even mention it for the stability of the Alliance.

This led to the current situation, where all signs from Golden Thunder Island indicate that they are dissatisfied with the current state of the Coral Alliance and are about to overturn the table.

"Additionally, Lanling Island and Yuqing Island have recently replaced their Golden Core Island Masters, and they have aligned with Golden Thunder Island! As for the original inner island masters, they have all gone to the Eastern Domain to seek treasures in the Cloud Realm!" Real Person Hongye relayed one bombshell after another.

This caused everyone's expressions to change dramatically!

This situation was extremely unfavorable for the entire Alliance!

But they couldn't stand idly by; they all had an oath of the heavenly dao.

Moreover, even if they wanted to hide now, they only had one or two years, so there was no way to escape.

Unless they were unaware and entered a death seclusion!

But now, that was clearly impossible. With less than two years, they could only unite.

"Next, let's discuss how to repel the Yao Race. Everyone, don't be so disheartened. Coral Island has been able to continuously inherit the position of Alliance Leader of the Coral Alliance, and its power is unimaginable!" Real Person Hongye spoke again, seeing that everyone was a bit dejected!

At this moment, they had no other choice. Either repel the Yao Race, or give up the entire Tianxiang Island, Rising Sun Island, and even Tianliu Island later on.

And at that time, the isolated Thousand Machine Island would not last long and would only become a backdrop for the Yao Race to rampage.

That was a situation no one wanted to see.

"Of course, Immortal Masters from Nine Dragon Island will also arrive, so this time, we must give the Jiaolong Clan a... heavy blow!"

The last two words, 'heavy blow,' from Real Person Hongye, were exceptionally resounding and powerful.

This plan had clearly been formulated long ago.

What made Lin Shiming curious was whether Immortal Master Fengxing had survived.

But Lin Shiming estimated that with Nine Dragon Island's involvement, Immortal Master Fengxing should have escaped.

Only he could persuade the Nine Dragon Island Master of the severity of the current situation.

"Everyone, please state your positions. If we succeed, the corpse of a fifth-rank Jiaolong this time will also be a relatively great Opportunity!" Real Person Hongye then spoke, looking at the crowd.

This counterattack was naturally risky, even with Nine Dragon Island, and even with all the grand talk.

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

Tian Liu True Person and Real Person Qianji spoke without hesitation.

Lin Shiming also spoke afterwards.

He was the third. At this moment, he was still worried about not finding a wood-attribute Jiaolong for his minglun sword's re-cultivation, so he naturally agreed.

After all, what he was protecting now was also the Lin Family's territory.

The others, after some deliberation, finally agreed.

Seeing this, the light in Real Person Hongye's eyes softened considerably.

"Alright, then the matter is decided. The Immortal Masters from Nine Dragon Island will not arrive immediately, to prevent being sensed by the Yao Race. This time, in three days, the Heaven Gate Spirit Lock Formation will be activated, locking down Teleportation Arrays and Golden Core Demon Kings within a radius of ten thousand li!"

"As long as the Golden Core Demon Kings do not exceed twice our strength, this operation will not be canceled!"

...Real Person Hongye then arranged all the details. Lin Shiming was also ordered to block a Golden Core Middle Stage Demon King. Even the Late Golden Core Stage Spirit Puppet was requested to be brought out to hold off a Demon King!

This made Lin Shiming feel a bit helpless. His natural thought was to immediately kill a fifth-rank Early Stage wood-attribute Jiaolong.

But since Real Person Hongye had said it, he couldn't refuse.

"Additionally, everyone, you don't need to go out during these three days. Just stay on this ninth floor. I believe Fellow Daoist Lin's sturgeon dragon wine will not disappoint you!" Real Person Hongye said with a smile.

The sturgeon dragon wine was a Pill Formula from Nine Dragon Island, which was very difficult to obtain back then.

It was most nourishing for a Cultivator's Physical Body, especially for older individuals whose Qi and blood had declined; the effect of drinking this sturgeon dragon wine would be even better.

"Naturally!" Lin Shiming also nodded.

He was not stingy with this wine. If they could drive away and intimidate these Yao Race members, he wouldn't mind even if these people drank for three days and three nights.

The main reason was that during each beast tide, the Lin Family would also acquire many Jiaolong corpses. Most of them would be used to help the Lin Family's snake-like Spirit Beasts transform into Jiaolong, and only a small portion would be used to brew sturgeon dragon wine.

One by one, the Golden Core True Persons exited the room and went to the next. Soon, only Tian Liu True Person, Real Person Hongye, and Real Person Qianji remained.

Real Person Qianji looked at Lin Shiming twice, then offered his congratulations, and also left the courtyard.

Clearly, the latter's Divine Sense strength was not low, having sensed Lin Shiming's Divine Sense Breakthrough.

This made Lin Shiming secretly wary. It was important to know that Real Person Hongye and Tian Liu True Person had not sensed it.

After all, he cultivated the Soul Fusion Secret Canon, and his Divine Sense was exceptionally condensed.

"Fengxing survived, but Huoyun and Lanyu did not, so Nine Dragon Island is particularly enraged this time!"

"And the one who discovered the Jiaolong Clan's (Flood Dragon Clan) conspiracy was also Fellow Daoist Fengxing!" Real Person Hongye explained to Lin Shiming.

This made Lin Shiming feel a bit melancholic. He hadn't expected Immortal Master Fengxing to be alive, but Immortal Master Xueyun had died.

One should know that the Pill Formula for the Core Formation Pill was obtained by Lin Shiming from Immortal Master Xueyun.

The latter's Xuelong Island (Blood Dragon Island) was also the closest to the Coral Alliance.

"Additionally, regarding the gains, the Zifan Crystal Spirit Mine counts as three units of resources, a fifth-rank Spiritual Vein counts as one unit of resources, and thousand-year bitter bamboo counts as one unit of resources!"

"You can take two units! Fellow Daoist Fengxing gets two units, and I get one!" Real Person Hongye added.

Clearly, the latter was very aware of how much Zifan Crystal Lin Shiming had obtained, as she was collecting Spiritual Veins at that time.

Furthermore, this operation was proposed by him, so he naturally couldn't go back on his word.

Moreover, the resources he obtained this time were indeed quite substantial. Besides the Jiaolong corpse Golden Core, there were also purple spirit algae and spirit algae worms.

Although the latter was useless to him, it would be an invaluable treasure for cultivating the Family in the future.

Moreover, purple spirit algae could also be researched into fourth-rank Spirit Cuisine, and they reproduced quickly, not inferior to cultivating Celestial Sound Snails.

Lin Shiming took out all the Zifan Crystal and gave them to Real Person Hongye.

This time, he still chose the fifth-rank Spiritual Vein and the thousand-year bitter bamboo. The former was for the Lin Family's increasing number of fifth-rank Golden Core combat strengths!

The latter was for the Lin Family's fifth-rank war treasure ship.

Real Person Hongye accepted the Storage Pouch without even looking at it and hung it directly on her waist.

"The Spiritual Vein has been installed on Jiuyue Island!"

"Thank you, Senior Sister Hongye!" Lin Shiming repeatedly thanked her.

After chatting for a few more sentences, the latter also left the room, leaving behind wafts of fragrance.

Soon, only Tian Liu True Person remained in the room.

"Senior Sister Tianliu, Senior Brother Kuangfeng..." Lin Shiming asked with a slight hesitation.

"He has entered seclusion. You should have guessed the situation, so I won't say much more!"

"However, there's another deal. Do you want to make it?" Tian Liu True Person still seemed very indifferent, but soon, her tone changed.

This left Lin Shiming at a loss, and he stood stunned for a moment.

Why was everyone making deals with him?

Immortal Master Kuangfeng made a deal with him as if entrusting his child, and now Tian Liu True Person was also making a deal with him.

And it was important to know that Tianliu Island and the Lin Family's island were already allied.

"Senior Sister Tianliu, I have already made an agreement with Senior Brother Kuangfeng, so I won't take an extra share of profit from Senior Sister!" Lin Shiming still said.

"It's not about protecting Fuling and Yulin; it's about helping Fuling form her Core. Have you ever heard of the sword core method?" Tian Liu True Person asked.

As soon as these words came out, Lin Shiming's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected Tian Liu True Person to propose this deal.

"Don't refuse too early. Whether you have it or not, if you can help Fuling form her Core, I will leave you a method to advance to a fifth-rank Demon King!" Tian Liu True Person directly gave Lin Shiming an irresistible benefit.

If his Golden Thunder Bamboo could advance to a Demon King, ordinary Golden Core Cultivators would not be its match. This was the domineering aspect of a lightning-attribute Demon King, let alone the most righteous and unyielding Golden Thunder Bamboo.

With these words, Lin Shiming truly didn't know how to refuse.

Tian Liu True Person didn't wait for Lin Shiming's answer, simply left a sentence, and then departed directly.

"You don't have to rush to answer. The deal is valid until the end of Xueshan Island!"

Tian Liu True Person left, leaving Lin Shiming alone in the room.

He possessed the sword core method, and even had extra Spirit Communication Swords now.

However, the most troublesome thing was not the sword core method or the Spirit Communication Sword. The most troublesome thing was probably Fuling's intentions.

The other party's Heart Demon might not be overcome. If she couldn't overcome it, she would be reduced to ashes under the Lightning Tribulation. This was different from breaking through to the Purple Mansion.

When breaking through to the Golden Core, one's mentality must be at Perfection.

This was why Lin Shiming agreed to leave descendants. He was also worried that Lin Shitao's mentality would go wrong at that time, preventing her from breaking through to the Golden Core.

Now, Tian Liu True Person wanted him to help Fuling Fairy break through to the Golden Core. On the surface, it was to seek the Golden Core method, but in reality, it was a method to overcome Heart Demons.

Lin Shiming couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.

But thinking that a major battle was imminent, Lin Shiming shook his head and dismissed this troublesome matter.

Anyway, there was still plenty of time.

Currently, the most important thing was to drive away the Jiaolong Clan, quickly protect Daoist Nine Heavens's Breakthrough, and ensure the successful re-cultivation of several Spirit Communication Swords!

Lin Shiming also left the hall, found an empty room, and began to meditate quietly!

Three days were naturally not enough to make further progress, so he merely cultivated in seclusion, adjusting his state to the best possible condition!

Outside the city, the beast tide continued in waves!

Now, the Cultivators guarding Jiuyue Island, not only the Lin Family, but also other families, were using the three-three policy!

Lin Zeli and Lin Shijie were at the very front!

As the Sword Cultivators of the Lin Family, they were the most dazzling this time, almost dominating the three major rankings!

Among them, Lin Zeli's Sword Intent, when facing the beast tide, truly possessed the Aura of 'one sword guarding the pass,' slaying a thousand beasts with a single sword was not an exaggeration.

Among the Foundation Establishment Cultivators, Lin Yanxing's eyes also held a fervent glow at this moment.

He was now at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, but his Sword Intent had already reached the half-step Sword Qi Coagulation stage, not inferior to Lin Shiming back then.

Moreover, in the beast tide, he often challenged not third-rank Middle Stage Yao Beasts, but third-rank Late Stage Yao Beasts, and even third-rank Peak Yao Beasts.

In his personal opinion, this was also a necessary process for him to surpass Lin Shiming. He only had Four Spiritual Roots; he only had one sword.

So, he had no other Magical Artifacts on him.

Only a sword!

He honed his sword on the battlefield, and he honed his sword in the Sword Pavilion. He honed his sword when he slept, and he still honed his sword when he woke!

When resisting the beast tide, he was like a god of slaughter!

And among the Qi Refining stage, there was also a Cultivator on the city wall experiencing the beast tide. It was Lin Changxing.

He was also the Lin Family's Heavenly Spiritual Root.

Behind him, Lin Xianzhi stood beside him.

"Old Ancestor, Changxing is also willing to request to fight!" It had only been over twenty years since Lin Changxing's Awakening of the Heavenly Spiritual Root, and at this moment, the Spiritual Qi fluctuations on Lin Changxing's body were clearly at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

Although he had just broken through and was still unstable, he had already been brought out by the Lin Family to experience the Aura of the war beast tide.

"Just watch. Foundation Establishment Early Stage is nothing now. You are the future hope of the Lin Family!" Lin Xianzhi shook his head and refused.

Humans hunted Yao Beasts, and Spirit Beasts also ate humans.

And the more talented the human, the more delicious they seemed to the Yao Beasts!

The Lin Family naturally wouldn't let Lin Changxing take risks.

Just experiencing the Aura on the city wall was already a risky attempt.

"Old Ancestor, it's impossible for Changxing to avoid bloodshed every day. In the past, when Ancestor Shiming was in Qi refining, he could kill countless Yao, and Changxing today also volunteers. I hope you will approve!" Lin Changxing knelt directly on the ground.

Countless Lin Family Cultivators had fallen. Today, he did not wish to merely watch!
