520: Conspiracy and apology (two-in-one, please subscribe with a monthly ticket)

“Exactly so, I just don’t know if Elder Jiuxiao can refine it!” Lin Shiming said.

Real Person Jiuxiao was so surprised because the Qingxuan Sect regarded this secret method as extremely important.

Even the Spirit Beast Sect and the Spirit Talisman Sect did not have any methods for refining war treasure ships.

They could only purchase them from the Qingxuan Sect at a cost.

Moreover, only Fourth-Order war treasure ships were available for unlimited purchase. Any Fifth-Order war treasure ship would be recorded in the Qingxuan Sect's registry and would not be easily taken out.

For an Artifact Refiner, spirit boats and treasure ships were also something they wanted to dabble in.

After all, these were Magic Treasures for escape!

But it was only because the Qingxuan Sect controlled it too strictly.

“It’s possible, but it will require a lot of time for research!” Real Person Jiuxiao replied.

Before this, he was only a high-grade Fourth-Order Artifact Refiner. Although he had now broken through to Golden Core, he would still need to expend some Cultivation Technique to refine a Fifth-Order Magic Treasure!

Let alone a Fifth-Order war treasure ship.

Lin Shiming nodded. He didn’t expect Real Person Jiuxiao to research it in just over a year. After all, he had seen the complexity of a war treasure ship.

Moreover, just as a Fourth-Order war treasure ship could allow Foundation Establishment Cultivators to exert Purple Mansion combat power, a Fifth-Order war treasure ship could also allow many Purple Mansion Cultivators to jointly unleash the combat power of a Golden Core Cultivator.

If such a treasure could be refined casually, the Spirit Beast Sect and Spirit Talisman Sect would have already deduced it from their existing finished products.

“Oh, right, Shiming, you can give me your Eternal Night Umbrella. I’ll re-refine it then. A high-grade Fourth-Order Magic Treasure is truly a waste of precious materials!” Elder Jiuxiao said with a hint of guilt.

The Eternal Night Umbrella was refined from the skin of a Discoloration Jiaolong, allowing for perfect disguise at any time.

However, its rank as a high-grade Fourth-Order Magic Treasure still limited it.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiming immediately took it out.

Then he suddenly thought of something else and took out two items from his grotto-heaven.

“Elder Jiuxiao, can this Magic Treasure be improved?” Lin Shiming took out a palm-sized transparent spirit disc.

It was the Leaping Void Disc. However, the distance of each leap was short, and after too many leaps, although his Physical Body could withstand it, the Leaping Void Disc itself could not.

If it could be reinforced and its rank increased by a few grades,

even if the distance didn't increase, just being able to leap a few more times would significantly enhance his combat power.

The second treasure was the spirit skin of the Blood Leech Demon King he had killed on Tianxiang Island. That spirit skin was also extremely miraculous, and he had preserved it at the time.

He had dealt with many Blood Leech Demon Kings of the Yao Race, and he found these Yao Beasts quite annoying.

Therefore, he also considered this spirit skin a treasure!

If Real Person Kuangfeng were here, he might have given it to Real Person Kuangfeng to refine, but now that Real Person Kuangfeng was in seclusion, he could only give it to Real Person Jiuxiao.

“Alright, no problem, but it will take a longer time!” Real Person Jiuxiao readily agreed!

It wasn’t that he was confident!

Rather, it was the best way he could think of to repay Lin Shiming, so even if he had to spend all these coming years in seclusion researching Magic Treasures, he would research it out!

As for the Lin Family's Fourth-Order Magic Treasures, not long ago, Lin Shizhong and another Lin Zeyu both broke through to Purple Mansion, and their Artifact Refining also reached the level of a Fourth-Order Artifact Refiner.

Although the former's cultivation was slightly lower, barely breaking through to Purple Mansion, his Artifact Refining skills had deeply inherited his true teachings and were extremely profound. While the latter's Artifact Refining was slightly weaker, his cultivation was stronger, and his talent was good.

Lin Shiming was very happy that several Magic Treasures had been improved. He then took out the spirit materials and precious crystals from his Storage Pouch.

He listed both Fifth-Order and Fourth-Order items. If Real Person Jiuxiao needed them, he would give them to him!

Among them, Real Person Jiuxiao's favorites were the Fifth-Order flame crystal and the Fourth-Order red spirit crystal.

There was also a spirit skin of a Tai Gan Shark.

Lin Shiming kept only a portion of each and gave the rest to Real Person Jiuxiao. After everything was done, he bid farewell to Real Person Jiuxiao.

And headed towards Thousand Wood Peak!

He had been busy for the past few months, and hadn't spent enough time with his son... Lin Family, Qinglian Peak Council Great Hall.

Lin Zewen and Lin Yanjiao landed inside together, and behind each of them were many Elders.

Now the Lin Family had a vast enterprise, and there were many Elders responsible for managing affairs!

Otherwise, if Lin Yanjiao and Lin Zewen went into seclusion, it would lead to chaos in the Family.

“This Jade Slip is too important. I’ll go tell Seventh Grand Uncle first!” Lin Yanjiao said.

She looked at Lin Zewen, not expecting him to be so ruthless at this moment!

A small Family was directly pushed out, which resulted in those arrogant Families on Baibing Island falling into the Lin Family’s trap instead!

The most crucial thing was that in this Jade Slip, Cultivators from Lanling Island also appeared nearby!

Although the beast tide on Jiuyue Island had receded, other islands were still facing sieges by Yao Beasts.

However, these Yao Beasts were still gathering, and no Golden Core Demon King had appeared yet!

But that didn't diminish the severity of the current situation!

Lanling Island instigating an internal beast tide at this moment would naturally be sanctioned by the Coral Alliance!

Lin Yanjiao took out a sound transmission talisman and sent it towards Thousand Wood Peak!

Soon, a green-robed Cultivator landed in the Great Hall. It was Lin Shiming.

At this moment, Lin Shiming was holding a baby.

The baby was Lin Zeying. Lin Shiming actually didn't really want to carry Lin Zeying to the Council Great Hall, but Lin Shitao was currently refining Purple Mansion Jade Liquid!

Many in the Lin Family had broken through to Purple Mansion, and many of the Ze Generation and Yan Generation were preparing, or only lacked Purple Mansion Jade Liquid.

“Seventh Uncle!” Lin Zewen spoke repeatedly!

“Seventh Grand Uncle!” Lin Yanjiao also saluted.

Other Lin Family Elders also saluted together.

“Seventh Grand Uncle, this is what Uncle Zewen brought back from Lianyun Island!” Lin Yanjiao handed the Jade Slip to Lin Shiming.

She also carefully took Lin Zeying and coaxed little Ze Ying!

The latter also giggled!

Lin Yanjiao's eyes were already very alluring.

Even with children, she could coax them very well.

After reading the Jade Slip, Lin Shiming also looked at Lin Zewen and Lin Yanjiao!

Lin Yanjiao and Lin Zewen both had serious expressions!

The content of the Jade Slip was normal, but if one investigated deeply, it was full of loopholes.

The Yao Beasts were controlled by the Lin Family’s Spirit Control Seal, and the Cultivators from Lanling Island were also disguised by the Lin Family’s arrangements.

However, the forces on Baibing Island under the Lanling Archipelago were real, and the affiliated forces on Lianyun Island were also real.

That’s why Lin Yanjiao and Lin Zewen were so nervous.

Although Lin Zewen wanted to create proof of the Lanling Island Cultivators’ presence, it was too difficult. The other party was also cautious. As for the affiliated forces, they could be dealt with however they pleased. At worst, they could abandon the affiliated forces.

This was too normal.

“Alright, I’ll go find Real Person Hongye right away!” Lin Shiming nodded instead!

What if the evidence was fake!

At least, they could mobilize a large force to Lanling Island!

As for whether the matter was real or fake, what did it matter!

As long as there was evidence, they could question them!

At least then, Lanling Island would either make an oath of the heavenly dao with a Golden Core, or be expelled by the Coral Alliance!

If it was the latter, the Lin Family would be even happier, gaining another Family territory.

The development of the Hongye Islands was somewhat limited for the Lin Family now.

“Zewen, Yan Jiao, very good, I didn’t misjudge you two!” Lin Shiming praised the two.

And he was also very satisfied with Lin Zewen now.

A Family needed upright Cultivators, but also those who were not!

The Cultivation World was inherently a cannibalistic Cultivation World!

“However, you two must pay attention to your cultivation. Yan Jiao can go to the secret space to break through to Purple Mansion as soon as possible, and Zewen should reach Peak Foundation Establishment quickly!” Lin Shiming advised again.

Lin Yanjiao had been delayed at Peak Foundation Establishment for a long time due to handling Family affairs. Now Lin Zeli had already broken through.

And it should be known that Lin Yanjiao was both a dual Spiritual Root and a spiritual physique Cultivator.

She also had a matching Cultivation Technique.

Her progress was a bit slow. Lin Shiyuan, who was similar in age to Lin Zeli, was already in seclusion.

And now, those who were in seclusion to break through to Purple Mansion, or who had broken through to Purple Mansion, had all been moved by the Lin Family to the new Small World the Lin Family had acquired!

Only there, even if something went wrong, they would not be disturbed!

“Thank you, Seventh Grand Uncle, for the reminder. Yan Jiao will go into seclusion as soon as she finishes handling this!” Lin Yanjiao and Lin Zewen both spoke.

Lin Shiming also went to the Hall of Teachings again. After entrusting Lin Zeying to the Family Elders of the Hall of Teachings, he headed towards the Teleportation Array!

Upon arriving at Hongye Island, Lin Shiming familiarized himself with the path and came to Red Leaf Palace!

Since Hongye Island changed its name from Rising Sun Island to Hongye Island, its decision-making center had completely shifted to Hongye Island.

At this moment, many Purple Mansion Cultivators were flying towards Red Leaf Palace!

Their purpose was all the same: to seek help!

The strategy of clearing the fields was currently being implemented everywhere. However, Tianxiang Island and Lianyun Island, controlled by the Lin Family, had the Lin Family's support and absolutely did not need external aid!

But other outer islands only had one or two Purple Mansion Cultivators.

Among these Cultivators seeking help, there was also Loose Cultivator Guanghao.

Seeing Lin Shiming fly over, Loose Cultivator Guanghao repeatedly saluted!

However, his complexion was still alternating between red and purple!

Back then, to pursue Zhao Yulin, he did not hesitate to offend Lin Shiming. But now, nearly a hundred years later, he was still in the Purple Mansion Late Stage!

Lin Shiming, however, was already in the Early Stage Golden Core, and had even made a great name for himself in the Coral Sea Area!

Even Zhao Yulin was now a Golden Core Cultivator.

His pursuit, naturally, could only become a laughingstock.

However, at this moment, his heart was extremely bitter. He hadn't expected to encounter Lin Shiming here.

“Oh, it’s Junior Friend Guang Hao?” Lin Shiming naturally wouldn't give him a good look. If it were elsewhere, he might even have taught the latter a lesson!

Although Loose Cultivator Guanghao hadn't posed much danger to him back then, he had played a few tricks on him!

“Senior Lin, this Junior is going to Red Leaf Palace to seek help. I have a treasure here, and I hope Senior can appraise it!” Loose Cultivator Guanghao quickly took out an item.

This item was placed in a Fifth-Order spirit jade box.

What surprised Lin Shiming was that his System prompt sounded again.

“Please accept Loose Cultivator Guanghao’s treasure. You will receive a new spirit page of the Book of Hidden Paths!”

Lin Shiming was incredibly surprised. It had been nearly a hundred years since he last obtained a mysterious page.

He hadn't expected it to be on Loose Cultivator Guanghao!

“Alright!”

Lin Shiming opened it, only to see that inside the jade box was a lot of Fifth-Order spirit soil!

His face instantly darkened.

“Are you perhaps making fun of Lin? You wouldn’t recognize this Fifth-Order spirit soil?” Lin Shiming frowned!

His face instantly became a little scary!

Loose Cultivator Guanghao’s face also changed immediately!

“Senior Lin, I misread it just now!” Loose Cultivator Guanghao took out another jade box!

This time, Lin Shiming thought it would be a book page!

But he didn't expect it to be another three-thousand-year Spirit Medicine.

This Spirit Medicine was also what Loose Cultivator Guanghao intended to offer to Real Person Hongye.

In his opinion, the reason Lin Shiming was angry was because the gift was not sufficient!

So he painfully took out another treasure.

“Was what I said not clear enough? You wouldn’t recognize this three-thousand-year-old hibiscus flower?” Lin Shiming’s tone changed again!

Loose Cultivator Guanghao hesitated again, as if Lin Shiming was just asking to appraise a treasure!

He also tried to take out a jade book. The material of this jade book was extremely special, not like Fifth-Order spirit jade, but even more miraculous than Fifth-Order spirit jade.

However, he couldn't find the mysteries within it.

Only after taking out the book page did he notice Lin Shiming's expression improve.

He began to carefully examine the spirit book.

He looked for a long time, but still did not speak.

“Senior Lin, if you can’t see through this treasure for a while, you can look at it a few more times!” Loose Cultivator Guanghao continued to speak!

Lin Shiming immediately nodded. Although Loose Cultivator Guanghao was annoying, his insight was good!

“Look at it a few more times” was what he meant for Lin Shiming to take it.

Lin Shiming nodded, then handed the two spirit boxes to the latter.

“Recently, beast tides have been frequent. If anything happens, you can also contact Lianyun Island and Tianxiang Island for support!” Lin Shiming’s words made Loose Cultivator Guanghao overjoyed!

This meant that Lin Shiming was letting bygones be bygones!

As for those two jade boxes, he naturally wouldn't take them back!

Lin Shiming left the two jade boxes where they were and flew towards Hongye Island!

Soon, he entered Red Leaf Palace!

Unlike before when they talked in the side hall, now Real Person Hongye would invite him into the main hall!

She even brewed Fifth-Order spirit tea and jade ambrosia dew.

Even the chairs had been replaced with red sandalwood and golden-threaded nanmu grand chairs.

“Senior Sister Hongye, please take a look at this Jade Slip!” Lin Shiming directly got to the point!

He handed over the Jade Slip!

After the latter glanced at it, she repeatedly nodded!

It was well known throughout the Coral Alliance that the Lanling Archipelago had always been at odds with the Hongye Islands!

Moreover, it was almost a foregone conclusion that Lanling Island was now following Golden Thunder Island!

As for whether the evidence was real, there was no need to investigate at all!

This was an overt scheme based on a power disparity.

“I’ll go inform Tian Liu True Person and Real Person Yunli right away!” Real Person Hongye was also a woman of action.

She immediately began contacting them!

Tian Liu True Person was the leader of Real Person Hongye's faction, so she had to be present this time. Secondly, Real Person Yunli belonged to Coral Island's diplomatic Immortal Master.

Real Person Yunli also had to be present for Lanling Island!

As for their combat power, they didn't have much expectation.

Real Person Yunli probably couldn't even take a few moves from Lin Shiming.

But the deterrence of her status was something none of them could provide!

The Jade Slip was quickly sent out, and the two drank spirit tea, waiting quietly!

“Also, congratulations, Junior Brother Lin, on the birth of your beloved son!” Real Person Hongye asked Lin Shiming when she had a moment of leisure!

“Thank you, Senior Sister Hongye, for your blessings and congratulatory gift!” Lin Shiming repeatedly waved his hand in response.

“I'm ashamed to say, I haven't even invited Senior Sister for the wedding wine yet!” Lin Shiming took out a spirit beast pouch!

Inside the spirit beast pouch, there was a lot of daughter red spirit wine, and besides the spirit wine, there was also the corpse of an Early Stage Golden Core Blue Jiaolong and the corpse of an Early Stage Golden Core Blazing Bird!

He could hide his acquisition of the Spiritual Vein from others, but he couldn't hide it from Real Person Hongye!

The other party could choose not to say anything, but he couldn't choose not to give anything. Otherwise, in resisting the beast tide of Jiuyue Island, their Lin Family would be like a lone tree struggling to stand.
