568: Cold marrow jade, Tianleidan
The Spirit Shield used was the most common Spirit-Containing Spirit Shield, which could maximize the preservation of the treasure's spirituality. Although it was not as good as the Lin Family's Lingfu Dongtian (Spirit Talisman Grotto-heaven).
It was still considered the best method for preserving spiritual items in the Cultivation world.
This Spirit Shield did not block Divine Sense, so everyone could easily see the treasures inside the jade box.
In the central box, a square piece of cold jade emitted a brilliant and mysterious blue Spirit Light.
When his Divine Sense penetrated it, he only felt his Divine Sense freeze, and his entire body felt bone-chillingly cold.
One should know that he was a Golden Core Body Cultivator, and his resistance to cold and fire had reached a terrifying Realm.
For him to still feel such extreme cold, there was only one possibility!
"Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow Jade!" Lin Shiming's heart was filled with incomparable shock, and Spirit Light shone from his eyes, his heart Excited to the extreme.
This was precisely the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow Jade he had been planning for a long time.
With this treasure, he had gathered all the Materials for the nascent soul pill.
He only needed to wait for the age of the nascent soul fruit, and one should know that his Minor Divine Ability, Wind of Rejuvenation, could increase its age by nearly two hundred years each time.
The only pity thing was that the Minor Divine Ability still needed more than four years to condense once.
But it was highly possible for it to reach the Ten-Thousand-Year effect before he Breakthrough to the Late Golden Core Stage.
Besides the Cold Marrow Jade, the other treasures also made Lin Shiming's mouth dry, and his tongue parched.
His eyes were shocked to the extreme.
Inside one of the jade boxes was a Spirit Fruit that resembled a baby. This nascent soul fruit was only palm-sized, crystal clear, and emitted a brilliant Spirit Light.
"Eight-Thousand-Year nascent soul fruit!" This was another Spirit Medicine for the nascent soul pill, the nascent soul fruit.
Lin Shiming continued to look at the next treasures, and his eyes changed from shock to numbness!
This was indeed worthy of a Fifth-Rank Top-Grade power.
"Fifth-Rank Top-Grade Gathering Immortal Talisman!"
"Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Medicine, Thousand Transformations Fruit!"
"A section of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Nurturing Wood!"
"Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Medicine, Nine-Colored Flower!"
"Sixth-Rank Spirit Fire, Heavenly Heart Blazing Flame!"
"Five Five Elements Top-Grade Spirit Stones!"
"Fifth-Rank Top-Grade Heavenly Thunder Pill!"
"Sixth-Rank Spirit Material, Meteorite Sky Sand Crystal!"
There were a total of ten treasures that were at least Sixth-Rank Material level.
One could see the extravagance of the Heavenly Illumination Sect.
At this moment, even the other Immortal Masters' eyes emitted Spirit Light, clearly showing that they were also extremely excited.
Each person even began to maintain a distance, seemingly afraid that others would take advantage of the situation.
Even Lin Shiming kept his Autumn Blood Sword behind him, and at the same time, he held the Mystic Profound Origin Pearl in his hand, ensuring he could cast the Minor Divine Ability, Shadow of Immortal Wood, at any time.
It was not that he was overly cautious, but that the treasures before him were of too great importance.
Even an oath of the heavenly dao was by no means foolproof.
However, luckily, the four Immortal Masters seemed to have some scruples.
They did not make a move.
Moreover, several people looked at the three Spirit Jades. In their opinion, the secret techniques recorded in the Spirit Jades would definitely not be inferior.
After all, they had found Earth Rank Cultivation Techniques in the Jade Slips below.
This meant that the three Jade Slips were more precious than those Earth Rank Cultivation Techniques.
Perhaps, there were Sixth-Rank secret techniques or Divine Abilities inside.
When a Cultivator reached the Nascent Soul Realm, they would not use Minor Divine Abilities, but true Great Divine Abilities.
And such Divine Abilities could be Cultivated Acquiredly.
Of course, Sixth-Rank Divine Abilities were not that easy to Cultivate.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, please choose first. Let's not look at the secret techniques yet!" True Lord Xueshan said.
The ten treasures were not difficult to choose from because the difference was not significant. To be honest, these treasures seemed ordinary to them; their own powers more or less possessed them.
Thousands of years of accumulation allowed every major power to have at least two opportunities to condense a Nascent Soul.
For example, the Coral Alliance had Immortal Master Kuang Feng and True Lord Xueshan.
Moreover, they later provided treasures for Tian Liu True Person to Breakthrough.
It showed that they still had treasures.
So, what attracted them most were the Soul Nurturing Wood and the Heavenly Heart Blazing Flame.
As for Lin Shiming, he would definitely choose the nascent soul fruit and the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow Jade.
Therefore, they were even less anxious.
However, everyone kept a close eye on the Cultivation Techniques.
Especially Lord Nine Dragons and Blood Fiend Demon Lord, who were very close, clearly guarding against True Lord Xueshan, the Autumn Blood Sword, and even Golden Light True Buddha suddenly joining forces.
After all, there were exactly three Jade Slips.
This made the Aura in the field quite subtle.
However, True Lord Xueshan paid no attention. Her azure mirror shone upon the three Jade Slips.
In an instant, the three Jade Slips were divided into fifteen copies.
At this point, it became even easier.
Lin Shiming first chose the Cold Marrow Jade. He used the Spirit Devouring Ant to devour the Spirit Shield and brought the Cold Marrow Jade into his hand, entering the Grotto-heaven.
Compared to the other Immortal Masters, Lin Shiming was a bit more composed, after all, he had the Autumn Blood Sword helping him watch over things.
So, once the Cold Marrow Jade was in his possession, he relaxed a bit, even if there were any unforeseen changes.
"Everyone, please continue to choose. Once we leave this place, we must work together to fight against the Tai Gan Shark Clan!" True Lord Xueshan spoke again.
As soon as she said this, the others nodded.
The reason they were willing to share the Jade Slips was also because of the threat from the Tai Gan Shark Clan.
The Tai Gan Shark Clan took the Heaven Gate, and according to the Sect Leader of Heaven Gate, they must be opening a passage between the two Realms.
Where the other Realm was, naturally, it was the Tai Gan World of the Tai Gan Shark.
This could be glimpsed from the negotiations between the Tai Gan Shark Demon Emperor and the Autumn Blood Sword.
At that time, there might be many Nascent Soul Demon Emperors in the South Sea.
They must work together to have a chance to defend the South Sea.
It was soon Lord Nine Dragons' turn to choose, and without exception, he chose the Heavenly Heart Blazing Flame. With this Spirit Fire, he might be able to Cultivate a Sixth-Rank Jiaolong Clan Demon Emperor.
Golden Light True Buddha, on the other hand, chose the Soul Nurturing Wood. Blood Fiend Demon Lord seemed a bit regretful; he also yearned for the Soul Nurturing Wood, but in the end, he could only choose the Gathering Immortal Talisman.
True Lord Xueshan chose the nascent soul fruit, seemingly seeking treasures for Immortal Master Chishan to Breakthrough.
The second round also began quickly, and True Lord Xueshan again chose the Nine-Colored Flower.
After several people had made their choices, only a Fifth-Rank Top-Grade Heavenly Thunder Pill was left for him to choose.
Of course, the only benefit of this Heavenly Thunder Pill was that it could resist some Lightning Tribulations.
For most Cultivators, they were confident about Lightning Tribulations, especially these major powers, who were not short of high-grade Formations and high-grade Magic Treasures.
Although Lin Shiming still wanted the Meteorite Sky Sand Crystal, he had no choice but to follow the rules.
He could only put away the Heavenly Thunder Pill.
The fifteen Jade Slips were also divided into five portions, each floating towards everyone.
Lin Shiming took the three Jade Slips and scanned them, discovering that one of them indeed contained a Divine Ability secret technique called Taiqing Profound Light.
The remaining two Jade Slips contained a Earth Rank Medium Grade Cultivation Technique, the Profound Heaven Canon, and insights on forming a Nascent Soul.
However, these insights on forming a Nascent Soul were quite ancient.
And the Profound Heaven Canon Cultivation Technique had many restrictions, requiring a Cultivator with a Wind Spiritual Root to Cultivate it.
Lin Shiming didn't dare to look too much, after all, there were still many Immortal Masters present.
As for True Lord Xueshan faking or randomly copying, he was not worried.
He had System prompts that allowed him to perceive it.
Moreover, the other Immortal Masters had no objections, which meant the possibility of problems was very small.
"As for the Spiritual Vein of this Grotto-heaven, and that Pill Furnace, and even the Grotto-heaven itself, I, Zhao, will not take them!" True Lord Xueshan said.
He took the Earth Gate.
At this moment, the other people frowned, as the Grotto-heaven itself and the Pill Furnace were not as valuable as the Earth Gate.
"I'll supplement everyone with some Spirit Medicine!" True Lord Xueshan said, and then each gave out a five-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine.
Only then did they stop.
Lin Shiming was also surprised to find that he actually got this Fifth-Rank Top-Grade Pill Furnace.
With this Pill Furnace, the success rate of the nascent soul pill would increase by several more percentages at that time.
For him, it was naturally good news.
As for the Spiritual Vein, the Lin Family currently had few high-level Cultivators, so the demand was not great.
Moreover, he also had the Gathering Immortal Talisman.
After dividing the last of the treasures, everyone was extremely satisfied.
They also exited the Grotto-heaven and headed towards Heaven and Earth Island.
After dividing the treasures of the Heavenly Illumination Sect, the aftermath of the Heavenly Illumination Sect still needed to be dealt with.
And for everyone, assessing the losses was also relatively important.
"Let's have another meeting in half an hour. Even if the Tai Gan Shark Clan opens the barrier, it can't be that fast. The Realm barrier hasn't loosened to that extent yet!" True Lord Xueshan said.
The others also nodded. Besides the treasures they had divided themselves, they also wanted to see how their subordinate powers had divided things up.
Lin Shiming, however, did not have such a feeling.
After all, the Lin Family had no other Golden Core Cultivators besides him.
They basically wouldn't get any treasures.
Moreover, the Lin Family was searching another Sub-island.
He was somewhat worried that the Family's losses might be significant.
Lin Shiming arrived at the Sub-island and found that the Lin Family Cultivators were somewhat grief-stricken.
"Seventh Uncle, it's my fault. The Family sacrificed one Purple Mansion Cultivator and five Foundation Establishment Cultivators!" Lin Zekong proactively lowered his head.
The Lin Family originally had few Purple Mansion Cultivators, and this time it was a great victory, yet they lost one Purple Mansion Cultivator. In his opinion, it was his own fatal mistake.
He became True Lord Xueshan's bait before receiving news from Lin Shiming.
And then he failed to protect them effectively.
One should know that the strength of the Lin Family's Purple Mansion Cultivators was not inferior to other Families or large islands.
"Who was sacrificed?" Lin Shiming's voice also lowered involuntarily.
He himself had no way to fully control such a complex situation.
After all, the entire front line was stretched very far and wide.
It was not something he alone could influence.
But before he could get an answer, a glance told him that the one sacrificed was Lin Zeyi.
The latter was the only Sword Cultivator this time, and he ultimately ended his Cultivation life with his swordsmanship.
Lin Shiming closed his eyes slightly, feeling a pang of sorrow. Even without observing the exact situation, he could roughly guess what had happened.
Lin Shiming glanced at the Foundation Establishment Cultivators again. Fortunately, Lin Changxing, Lin Zehong, and several other talented Golden Core seedlings were still there, which made Lin Shiming slightly relieved.
The Lin Family had not experienced such a parting for a long time.
"Reflect on this matter yourself. When you return to Shuangmu Island, go to the Family's Qinglian Peak and face the wall for ten years!" Although Lin Shiming knew it wasn't Lin Zekong's responsibility.
It was clear that Lin Zekong could have done better to avoid the loss of the Family's Purple Mansion Cultivator.
Then he looked at Lin Zecheng:
"You too!" Lin Zecheng was also considered half of the Lin Family's commander this time.
"What about the Family's treasures?" Lin Shiming asked again.
After the punishment, Lin Shiming also asked about the Family's gains.
These Cultivators came through competition, with only ten slots. If there wasn't enough gain, the Lin Family's selection lottery this time would be somewhat pointless.
However, the subsequent gains exceeded Lin Shiming's expectations.
Among the Magic Treasures, everyone had more or less obtained one or two Fourth-Rank Magic Treasures.
In addition, there were a large number of Spirit Stones and various Legacies.
The Heavenly Illumination Sect had left a way out, taking its Legacy and Family wealth.
The affiliated islands and the Seven Islands of Heavenly Injury were also the same.
Although the Lin Family's island had several Purple Mansion Families.
There were no Golden Core Families, but combined, their foundation was not low.
After all, the Tianzhao Sea was not like the Coral Sea Area, where changes were extremely frequent, and often, affiliated powers would fall and rise every day.
The Tianzhao Sea, because there was no threat, was more like a stagnant pool.
Lin Shiming nodded repeatedly at this.
He then arranged for other Family Cultivators to organize their gains, to completely scour the Sub-island as quickly as possible, not even letting go of the spirit soil, spirit soil, or even the Spiritual Vein.
The threat of the Tai Gan Shark Clan was too great; the islands of the Tianzhao Sea could only be abandoned for a period of time.
Naturally, the treasures inside had to be taken away.
Spirit Medicine needed to be transplanted, Spiritual Veins needed to be relocated, and Formations needed to be dismantled.
After half an hour, Lin Shiming flew to Heaven and Earth Island.
The time for the Immortal Masters' deliberation had arrived.
Several Immortal Masters landed in a new grand hall, which was illuminated by colorful crystal lamps.
On the table was Fifth-Rank spirit tea, jade ambrosia dew.
The faces of the several Immortal Masters had improved significantly.
Clearly, they had divided the other treasures on the island.
Most importantly, their Storage Pouch had gained quite a lot.
This was something Lin Shiming and even the Lin Family could not compare to.
Some other powers had about ten Golden Core Cultivators, while the Lin Family had none.
The fact that he could even get a share of the treasury was already considered incredibly lucky.
After all, this time, he also relied on the Autumn Blood Sword.
"Alright, everyone is here. From today onwards, we will establish the Shark Hunting Alliance here!"
"If possible, we must attack the Tai Gan Abyss before the Heaven Gate opens!"
"Not even a moment can be delayed!" True Lord Xueshan said.
Lord Nine Dragons, next to her, also seemed a bit anxious.
After all, for the two powers, without the Heavenly Illumination Sect, they were the closest targets.
If the Tai Gan Shark Clan attacked, the first to be targeted would definitely be the Coral Alliance and Nine Dragon Island.
Moreover, the Coral Alliance also needed to worry about the Jiaolong Clan.
With attacks from both front and back, the danger and severity would be much greater.
After all, the Coral Sea Area was somewhat preoccupied at the moment.
"While that's true, if the Tai Gan Shark Clan has more than two Demon Emperors, and we rashly enter the Tai Gan Mist..." Golden Light True Buddha next to her spoke with some worry.
This was not outside, where they had an advantage.
And they had all spent time in the Tai Gan Mist.
Now, they naturally had some scruples.
"Then we must at least guard near the Tai Gan Abyss, establish a complete Teleportation Array System, and we Immortal Masters must unite against the enemy. Otherwise, a single tree cannot stand, and being defeated one by one is not what anyone wants to see, right!" True Lord Xueshan spoke again.
Golden Light True Buddha did not speak again after this statement.
After all, they understood the principle that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold; they truly could not stand idly by.
The arrival of the Tai Gan Shark might even be a racial crisis.
