530: Summarize the harvest (two-in-one asking for the moon)

Inside a crimson pavilion, the Spiritual Qi from a fifth-tier Spiritual Vein slowly rose, transforming into countless rays of light that converged towards a jade bed.

Lin Shiming sat on the jade bed, his brows relaxed considerably.

As he opened his eyes and looked around, a strange light gleamed within them.

This jade bed was clearly not made of spirit-eye jade, but its effect was almost the same.

The jade bed had the effect of automatically absorbing Spiritual Qi.

As long as a Cultivator sat on the jade bed, even if they didn't Cultivate and just slept, their cultivation would slowly increase.

Not to mention the incredible speed if one focused on refining and Cultivating.

And this reception pavilion was only temporarily built.

Lin Shiming was naturally very interested in this jade bed, but it was covered with a restrictive array.

If Divine Sense probed it, the restrictive array would self-destruct.

As a guest and a subordinate on Coral Island, he naturally wouldn't be so foolish as to truly investigate the restrictive array within.

Even if he had achieved significant merit now.

At that time, there probably wouldn't be a place for him to stay.

After examining the jade bed, Lin Shiming let out a long breath.

Three days had passed since the day of the battle, and he had finally recovered most of his strength.

The surging Spiritual Qi within his body transformed into Kui Wood True Essence, which was even more refined than before.

His injuries were not particularly severe, and after taking a fifth-tier healing Medicinal Pill, he recovered extremely quickly, especially since he possessed the Thousand Wood Spirit Body.

Lin Shiming recalled this trip to Coral Island once more, and a sense of lingering fear arose in his heart.

This time, he was fortunate to have four Spirit Communication Swords; otherwise, facing True Person Liuhe's six Clones plus his main body, he would have been utterly doomed.

The opponent's objective in coming to the South Sea this time was clearly just one: to kill him.

Fortunately, this time, he finally managed to slay the opponent.

Real Person Tianmo, however, managed to escape by piloting the war treasure ship.

This left a considerable hidden danger.

However, Real Person Tianmo would likely not meet a good end upon returning to the Eastern Region.

After all, according to the plan, the Qingxuan Sect should now be attacking Lost Soul Valley.

Lin Shiming had no doubts about this.

He had signed a spirit contract with the Qingxuan Sect, and for the Qingxuan Sect to restore itself, taking this opportunity to eliminate the Heavenly Demon Sect was an excellent choice.

After all, it was impossible for the Heavenly Demon Sect to have no Cultivators undergoing Breakthroughs.

Given that True Person Liuhe and Real Person Tianmo appeared here, it was clear that True Person Sanghun was the one attempting a Nascent Soul Breakthrough.

Lin Shiming took out the Qingxuan Sect's sword talisman and observed it for a while, but no news arrived.

He then put away the jade talisman again, took out a Jade Slip, and began to record the insights on Nascent Soul Breakthrough that Real Person Kuangfeng had passed on to him.

Qi Refining Cultivators breaking through to Foundation Establishment Cultivators needed to face the True Essence barrier, the Physical Body barrier, and the Divine Sense barrier.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators breaking through to Purple Mansion Cultivators required the grand opening of the Dao Meridians and the condensation of the Divine Soul.

Purple Mansion Cultivators breaking through to Golden Core required leaping out of the Sea of Consciousness, condensing the Golden Core, and then guiding the spirit into the core.

And Golden Core breaking through to Nascent Soul required shattering the core to gestate Qi, and converging the Nascent Soul into the Dao.

Once successful, their Dao and Divine Ability would be incomparable, and they would already be able to access Divine Ability.

Among them, the most basic was the Nascent Soul's Void Evasion Divine Ability, so at the Nascent Soul Realm, attempting to kill a Cultivator of the same rank was impossible unless one possessed a unique treasure.

With the Void Evasion Divine Ability, even some fifth- and sixth-tier magic arrays could be evaded.

And having a Nascent Soul brought far more benefits than just these.

Escaping through Possession, Soul Refining incantations, and various miraculous methods were enough to astound other Cultivators!

In a sense, it could even be considered a detachment from the Physical Body.

At that Realm, Cultivators could recover in time, no matter how severe their injuries.

If Innate Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment belonged to the upper three Realms of Cultivation, known as laying the foundation.

Then Purple Mansion, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul were the initial steps into the Dao.

The reason this world was previously unable to achieve a Nascent Soul Breakthrough was due to the birth of an Innate Spirit Treasure, which absorbed all the Dao Qi.

Now, it was because the Cloud Dragon broke through, drawing away the Innate Spirit Treasure.

This caused the Dao Qi to flow out.

Although Breakthrough was still difficult, it was no longer impossible.

By the time Lin Shiming had recorded all the insights, the Jade Slip was densely packed.

However, despite the fullness of the Jade Slip, his heart felt a sense of loss and melancholy.

Real Person Kuangfeng's matter truly made him sigh.

Although there had been signs of this long ago, the thought that the other party was just one last step away from successfully forming a Nascent Soul.

Still made him somewhat bothered.

Real Person Kuangfeng had treated him well, and while there might have been some transactional elements involved, at the very least, he truly hadn't harbored any ill intentions.

One must know that at that time, he was only a Purple Mansion Cultivator, and the secrets he carried were not small.

Although he didn't know why Real Person Kuangfeng wanted to die for Coral Island and for Real Person Xueshan.

But in the final scene, Real Person Kuangfeng didn't erupt, nor did Tian Liu Zhenren vent her anger on Coral Island, suggesting that there might be a significant hidden reason.

It's even possible that the ten-thousand-year Spirit Medicine was provided by Coral Island.

Lin Shiming shook his head, unable to find a clue, so he stopped thinking about it and began to organize his gains from this trip.

He had killed many Golden Core True Persons, and their Storage Pouches had all fallen into his hands.

Among them, those he was familiar with were Lanling True Person and True Person Liuhe, and then there was also a True Person from Golden Thunder Island.

Thinking of this, Lin Shiming also took out True Person Liuhe's Storage Pouch.

True Person Liuhe had seven Storage Pouches, one for each Clone, and his main body also had one.

Because True Person Liuhe was already dead, the Divine Sense on his Storage Pouches was easily erased by Lin Shiming.

He opened all six Storage Pouches and looked inside!

Inside the six Storage Pouches, the most abundant items were Spirit Stones; there were over a thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones alone.

And the next moment, what made Lin Shiming's expression jolt was seeing a huge fifth-tier spirit jade box, from which waves of green light emanated.

It was also accompanied by a wooden lotus phenomenon, a sight that surprised Lin Shiming!

When he picked up the jade box, he saw a green crystal inside, even more dazzling than a High-Grade Spirit Stone.

"Top-Grade Wood Spirit Stone!" Lin Shiming's breathing quickened involuntarily.

With this Top-Grade Wood Spirit Stone, coupled with the Lin family's Gathering Immortal Talisman, he was confident he could immediately go into seclusion and break through to the Middle Stage Golden Core.

The purity of the Spiritual Qi in a Top-Grade Spirit Stone was probably unmatched even by a fifth-tier Top-Grade Spiritual Vein.

It was beyond his expectation that True Person Liuhe possessed one!

Lin Shiming directly put the Top-Grade Spirit Stone into his cave heaven, feeling it was somewhat improper to place it anywhere else.

At the Top-Grade Spirit Stone level, its Spiritual Qi could also recover.

However, the recovery speed was slower, but Lin Shiming only grudgingly used it for Breakthrough, and by the time he reached Late Golden Core Stage from Middle Stage Golden Core.

He expected the time to be extremely long.

The preciousness of this Top-Grade Spirit Stone was no less than that of the Gathering Immortal Talisman.

After examining the Spirit Stones, he then looked at True Person Liuhe's Magic Treasures!

Now, his highest Magic Treasures were the fifth-tier Medium Grade Rising Sun Sword and the Three Heavens Token, formed by the fusion of three command tokens.

Thus, True Person Liuhe's fifth-tier High Grade Magic Treasure made Lin Shiming exceptionally expectant.

The first Magic Treasure was the Heaven Trapping Bowl.

This bowl seemed to be made from a terrifying profound turtle shell, exuding a nine-nether aura.

This bowl, when deployed, specifically restricted Realm Breaking Talisman.

Lin Shiming estimated that if this bowl descended, Real Person Hongye's Leaf Travel and his Leaping Void Disc would both be rendered unusable.

In addition to its trapping function, the Heaven Trapping Bowl could also isolate, refine, and suppress.

This made Lin Shiming extremely satisfied.

He put away the Heaven Trapping Bowl, intending to refine it when he found the time.

The second Magic Treasure was a crimson, three-inch blood needle.

This needle, named Extreme Blood Needle, was also a terrifying blood Dao Magic Treasure, capable of piercing through anything.

During his confrontation with True Person Liuhe, Lin Shiming's Late Golden Core Stage Spirit Puppet was not only pierced.

However, due to the spiritual nature of the fifth-tier Spirit Puppet, True Person Liuhe didn't find the Spirit Puppet's core.

Otherwise, his Late Golden Core Stage Spirit Puppet would have been very likely to be scrapped.

After putting away the two fifth-tier High Grade Magic Treasures, next were six fifth-tier Medium Grade demonic treasures.

Lin Shiming couldn't use these six demonic treasures, so he sealed them all away.

Perhaps when Lin Shimo and Lin Houshou broke through, these Magic Treasures could be put to use.

After examining the Magic Treasures, Lin Shiming took out many jade boxes to inspect!

Among them, there were still five five-thousand-year Spirit Medicine, and there was even one Spirit Medicine that had reached eight thousand years, not far from ten thousand years.

It was a Wood Essence Ginseng, full of Spiritual Qi, and covered with dozens of spirit talismans.

Lin Shiming had tried it with Real Person Kuangfeng, so he was naturally overjoyed at this moment.

He had a ten-thousand-year Spirit Medicine, but that was promised to the Crimson Flame Sword.

The Wood Essence Ginseng, on the other hand, was wood-attributed and most suitable for him.

And he still needed the Wind of Rejuvenation Minor Divine Ability, so it wasn't particularly difficult to make the Wood Essence Ginseng reach the level of a ten-thousand-year Spirit Medicine.

Lin Shiming placed all the Spirit Medicine into the Ziyang Pagoda, allowing them to continue growing and breaking through their limits.

And in a corner, Lin Shiming also found three nether dark iron wood.

Clearly, the Heavenly Demon Sect did not have just one Demonic Path Secret Realm containing nether dark iron wood.

However, now they all benefited Lin Shiming.

He wouldn't feel troubled by having too much nether dark iron wood.

After all, one plant represented one Golden Core combat strength, and the Lin family would never complain about having too many.

He only regretted not having the seven-thousand-year or even eight-thousand-year nether dark iron wood from before.

After collecting all the Spirit Medicine, next came what Lin Shiming most anticipated: Jade Slips and secret techniques.

His Divine Sense spread out, reaching towards all the Jade Slips.

True Person Liuhe was clearly very confident in himself, as he also left the Six Paths Heavenly Demon Skill in the Jade Slip, in addition to the cultivation method for the Incarnation.

And the method of using the Incarnation to train Divine Sense.

This method, it turns out, was created by True Person Liuhe himself!

He could continuously use his Clones to experience the human world and the hardships of minor Cultivators.

Therefore, previously in the Qingxuan Sect, when he transformed into a Qi Refining Cultivator attendant, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and a Purple Mansion Loose Cultivator, it was all for experience.

However, this Cultivation Technique also had limitations: the maximum number of Cultivators who could be experienced could not exceed two.

This was why True Person Liuhe previously had five Golden Core Clones and one Purple Mansion Clone.

In addition to this Cultivation Technique, Lin Shiming also found a secret art called Demonic God Thorn.

It was a Divine Sense offensive secret technique.

During normal times, one could condense a Demonic God Thorn in their mind, and at critical moments, up to six Demonic God Thorns could be unleashed, making it difficult for even a Divine Sense transcendent among Cultivators of the same rank to resist.

The reason Lin Shiming was unharmed was naturally due to the Book of Hidden Paths.

Otherwise, within the Book of Hidden Paths space, even if Lin Shiming had cultivated the Soul Fusion Secret Canon and refined two and a half Divine Sense Weapons, he might not have been able to resist!

After all, Lin Shiming's Divine Sense was at most equivalent to Middle Stage Golden Core, while the latter was clearly at least Late Golden Core Stage.

His Divine Sense had also been trained through his Incarnation, reaching at least the Peak Golden Core level.

Lin Shiming put away the Demonic God Thorn secret technique again; this secret technique was even more cautious than the Divine Sense Weapon!

The most crucial point was that the Demonic God Thorn was refined in advance, actually having been split apart long ago!

Even if an attack failed, it would not significantly affect the caster.

Divine Sense Weapon was inferior in this regard; it was one's own Divine Sense, and if injured, it was prone to backlash.

In one breath, he roughly examined all of True Person Liuhe's treasures and Cultivation Techniques.

Lin Shiming once again found insights on Nascent Soul Breakthrough.

However, these insights were from a Demonic Cultivator, so they could only be used as reference, but not rigidly applied.

After reviewing True Person Liuhe's Possessions, Lin Shiming was extremely satisfied and proceeded to examine the Storage Pouches of the other individuals.

Among them, Lanling True Person's Storage Pouch was also extremely wealthy, containing a thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones, and in addition, countless ice-attributed spiritual materials and earthly treasures.

Clearly, the last time Lin Shiming and the others found nothing was because Lanling Zhenren had taken the treasures away beforehand.

Now, they all ended up in Lin Shiming's hands.

Among Lanling Zhenren's Magic Treasures, a profound white cold pearl caught Lin Shiming's eye.

This Profound Ice Pearl was also a fifth-tier High Grade Magic Treasure, capable of freezing thousands of miles of sea when fully unleashed, as solid as rock.

Even if a Golden Core Cultivator was hit, their body would become greatly weakened and their movements slowed.

In addition, there was also a fifth-tier Medium Grade Black Cloud Sword.

The power of this Black Cloud Sword was not as great as Real Person Xuri's Rising Sun Sword, but its advantage was that Lin Shiming could use it freely.

Without needing to consider anything else, it was a good treasure.

After examining Lanling Zhenren's Storage Pouch, Lin Shiming then looked at the Storage Pouches of several True Persons from Golden Thunder Island.

The subsequent treasures were largely similar, and because the True Person from Golden Thunder Island was still an Early Stage Golden Core, he didn't even have a decent fifth-tier High Grade Magic Treasure.

The five great divine thunder secret techniques were also nowhere to be found.

Lin Shiming sighed; these secret technique Magic Treasures should be in the hands of Golden Thunder.

Now, it was highly probable that they had fallen into Tian Liu True Person's hands.

Lin Shiming tidied up his Storage Pouch; he naturally wouldn't ask Tian Liu Zhenren for them.

Just then, a spirit talisman slowly drifted over.

It was precisely from Real Person Yunli.

Coral Island achieved a great victory, slaying four fifth-tier Top-Grade Cloud Dragons, over five Late Golden Core Stage Cultivators, and countless Purple Mansion Cultivators.

After three days of rest, it was finally time for the celebration banquet... Meanwhile, on an island, a massive spirit boat slowly moved forward.

Cultivators flew past both sides of the spirit boat, yet they were unaware.

On the spirit boat, a black-robed figure held a jade plate in his hand.

The jade plate displayed the conquered areas of Lost Soul Valley.

The black-robed figure looked extremely displeased; it was none other than Real Person Tianmo.

After escaping from Coral Island, he piloted the war treasure ship, preparing to flee back to the Eastern Region.

But what he hadn't expected was that Lost Soul Valley had actually been breached.

Immortal Master Tianjian and Immortal Master Xuanjian had returned with several Golden Core True Persons!

He immediately destroyed the Teleportation Array and then headed towards Lin Shiming's Shuangmu Island!

He wanted revenge; as Demonic Cultivators, facing such a blow, they naturally chose to retaliate!

Soon, Shuangmu Island, marked on the Spirit Map, appeared in his sight.

He licked his lips as the war treasure ship abruptly appeared and fiercely crashed towards the Lin family's Shuangmu Island!
