573: God-Breaking Needle, Cold Jade Vein (2-in-1)

Inside the Immortal Cave, with the injection of another top-grade Fifth-Order wood-attribute Spiritual Vein, a considerable forest had already appeared.

These forests were currently just trees imbued with a significant amount of Spiritual Qi.

Some birds and beasts had already been placed inside, and they hopped through the forest, adding a touch of Spiritual Qi to the Immortal Cave.

Lin Shiming awoke from his Cultivation, and at this moment, he could see that the Divine Sense Palace in his Sea of Consciousness had condensed further.

Besides the Divine Sense Palace, there were also eight other Divine Sense Weapons surrounding it.

He felt his Divine Sense had strengthened a bit more, but it was still far from a Breakthrough.

However, reaching the intensity of the Late Golden Core Stage, every bit of progress was worth celebrating.

After finishing his Cultivation, he also looked at the Immortal Cave.

Above the Spirit Lake, starlight shimmered, as if a giant star at the bottom of the lake was emitting Spiritual light.

As dawn approached, the starlight in the sky echoed the starlight at the bottom of the lake, casting down large swathes of clear light, forming an exceptionally beautiful dawn scene.

The Star Spirit Shell was also undergoing its Breakthrough below.

What he found strange was that the Star Spirit Shell's Aura had already reached the intensity of the Purple Mansion Late Stage, yet it showed no signs of emerging, seemingly aiming directly for a Fifth-Order Demon King.

Lin Shiming was naturally delighted by this scene; if the Star Spirit Shell could achieve a Fifth-Order Breakthrough, his Physical Body would likely advance towards the Late Golden Core Stage.

Currently, his Physical Body was only at the Early Stage Golden Core. His ability to appear extremely formidable among Golden Core True Persons was precisely because his Divine Sense, Physical Body, and secret techniques were all strong, coupled with a large number of Magic Treasures and Spirit Treasures, allowing for such an effect.

Moreover, a Physical Body reaching the Late Golden Core Stage would also aid his Nascent Soul Breakthrough. He possessed the Thousand Wood Spirit Body, and this combination would naturally yield even better results.

Above the Spirit Lake, countless Spirit Fish were still swimming. Among these Spirit Fish, the Black Spirit Fish seemed to have grown larger, which surprised Lin Shiming. Besides the Black Spirit Fish, the Water Spirit Shell in the lake was also glowing with Spiritual light, its two shells open to reveal the newly nurtured water spirit pearl within.

It also seemed close to a Breakthrough to the Purple Mansion Late Stage.

Lin Shiming was very satisfied. Beyond the Spirit Lake were the fruit trees in the distance. Most of the Spirit Medicine fruit trees were in the Ziyang Pagoda, but the nascent soul fruit tree was located within the Immortal Cave.

In the distance, Old Wood was still observing the nascent soul fruit tree.

His eyes grew brighter and brighter, as if he had gained a lot.

Lin Shiming didn't pay much attention, after all, this nascent soul fruit tree was only two hundred years old, and there was still a very long time before it would bear fruit.

Behind the nascent soul fruit tree was a stone wall. The Golden Winged Mantis, after devouring the inner core of the Fifth-Order Heavenly Frost Demon Mantis, was also in the midst of a Breakthrough.

Inside the Jiaolong Nest, there were still many snake and python hatchlings absorbing the Jiaolong Qi. These were the Lin Family's newest Jiaolong hatchlings.

This time, there were five particularly talented snake and python hatchlings.

Once they absorbed enough Jiaolong Qi, they could undergo Bloodline Restoration and become Jiaolong.

As Lin Shiming's gaze followed, the sky finally ushered in a new day, and a new day dawned in the sky.

Lin Shiming's System prompt finally sounded.

【Please use your Divine Sense to break the Formation of the God-Shattering Needle, and you will obtain the incomplete Spirit Treasure, God-Shattering Needle!】Lin Shiming was a little surprised.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought of it, but mainly because among Fifth-Order Magic Treasures, Divine Sense-type Magic Treasures were extremely rare; so far, only the Book of Hidden Paths counted as half of one.

But now, an incomplete Spirit Treasure-level God-Shattering Needle had appeared.

Not only had he not expected it, but he estimated that Real Person Tianyou hadn't either.

Otherwise, perhaps the other party would have tried with their Divine Sense.

Of course, it's also possible that using Divine Sense might not necessarily work.

Lin Shiming circulated his Divine Sense and unleashed eight Divine Sense Weapons towards the God-Shattering Needle.

In an instant, countless spiritual projections of sabers, spears, axes, and swords landed on the God-Shattering Needle. However, despite this, the God-Shattering Needle remained completely motionless.

Lin Shiming's brows immediately furrowed. This incomplete Spirit Treasure seemed even more difficult than he had imagined.

Without the Divine Sense Palace, it ultimately lacked some Divine Sense attacks.

He took out the Mystic Profound Origin Pearl and stored one Divine Sense Weapon attack within it.

The next moment, he unleashed another attack himself.

With this attack, he felt a bit dizzy. Although the Divine Sense Weapons condensed his Divine Sense, such consumption was too much for him to bear.

Fortunately, as the double Divine Sense Weapons were unleashed, the God-Shattering Needle finally changed. A shallow layer of barrier seemed to disappear under the attack.

The next moment, one after another Treasure Unlocking Runes appeared before Lin Shiming's eyes.

Lin Shiming dared not be careless and quickly recorded all the Treasure Unlocking Runes.

He also recorded them again with a spiritual jade, and then continued to condense his Divine Sense Palace.

Cultivating the Treasure Unlocking Art was also extremely time-consuming. Compared to the effectiveness of the Treasure Unlocking Art, the Divine Sense Palace was clearly faster.

The crisis of the Tai Gan Shark Clan could erupt at any time, and he had to choose a method for Breakthrough as quickly as possible.

To deal with any potential crisis.

As the Cultivation of the Divine Sense Palace progressed, the Immortal Cave once again fell into tranquility... In the Tengmu Sea Area, after Double Hump Island, countless spirit boats were rushing outwards.

From the underwater glaciers and the icebergs on the islands, Spirit Beasts occasionally burst forth.

They immediately engaged in battles in the air and within the glaciers.

Among these Cultivators, the Ye Family was positioned relatively in the middle. They were somewhat hesitant at this moment, as in their view, the Lin Family was no better than other families.

They were all being used as cannon fodder.

Making them risk their lives to test the strength.

As for things like Spirit Islands, they all seemed illusory.

Just then, countless refined corpses appeared in the sky, along with a gigantic Heavenly Corpse Banner.

Innumerable refined corpses emerged from within this Heavenly Corpse Banner.

These refined corpses were only at the Middle Stage or Late Stage of the Second-Order, belonging to the lowest grade of blood corpses.

They rushed forward frantically.

Their bodies were torn apart by the Yao Beasts hiding there.

This left the Cultivators somewhat confused.

Because they had never seen such a main Family.

“You must cherish the days of the refined corpses. Additionally, any corpses of low material value can be handed over to our Lin Family. Our Lin Family's Heavenly Corpse Daoist will refine more powerful blood corpses for you!”

“Today, the Lin Family's aim is not for you to sacrifice, but for common prosperity and a shared path to immortality!” Lin Yanqing's voice rang out at the opportune moment.

This made the Cultivators even more frenzied. One by one, they summoned their Spirit Beasts and took out their prized Magical Artifacts, attacking the Yao Beasts.

And the Lin Family's Cultivators, positioned at the rear, also carried out their own clear-out.

This three-layered attack was devastating, and they advanced onto the ice island.

On the island, Ice Wolves appeared one by one!

This was also the first place with a Spirit Stone Mine surveyed by Wang Jiao, occupied by a pack of Icefield Wolves.

Among the Icefield Wolf pack, the most powerful was a Fourth-Order Peak Double-Tailed Ice Wolf King.

It was not far from breaking through to Fifth-Order and becoming an Ice Wolf Demon King.

Before facing the Frost Turtle Demon King, Lin Shimo and Lin Shiyi wanted to use this Ice Wolf Demon King for practice.

As the battle began, large swathes of ice mist descended upon the ice mountain.

These ice mists froze countless blood corpses into ice sculptures.

This also included many aggressive Loose Cultivators.

And in the sky, a full five Ice Wolf Great Demons appeared.

The leader among them was as large as a small hill, with two ice wolf tails roaring like thunder.

It charged down.

“Leave this Great Demon to me!” Lin Shimo was the first to charge out. Leading the way was the fire corpse, followed by the wood corpse, and then the earth corpse, ground corpse, and water corpse.

Each refined corpse possessed the strength of a Fourth-Order Late Stage, and these Natal Spirit Corpses were even more ferocious compared to other Spirit Beasts or Cultivators.

They were exceptionally bloodthirsty and completely fearless of pain or death.

Boom!

Countless storms were instantly torn apart, and the five Heavenly Corpses all charged towards the Ice Wolf King.

After Lin Shimo, Lin Shiyi also made his move, dealing with a Fourth-Order Middle Stage Icefield Wolf.

The remaining three Fourth-Order Early Stage ones were handled by the Ye Family for one, and the two remaining Purple Mansion affiliated families dealt with one each.

It was just right.

And the large numbers of Second and Third-Order Icefield Wolves were jointly encircled and suppressed by the other Cultivators.

After the encirclement, Lin Zelu was also setting up a Formation.

Once a major battle begins, Formations are indispensable.

This was a tradition of the Lin Family.

Only in this way could the Lin Family ensure that every expedition went smoothly.

Even if there were accidents, there would be a possibility of a fallback plan.

But the first to achieve a kill was not anyone else, but Lin Shiyi. Everyone felt as if he were a humanoid Vicious Beast, and behind him, the enormous figure of a Hanhai Ape appeared.

After Cultivating for a long time at the bottom of the sea, the ape shadow that appeared from his Mountain Ape Body Fusion Art had transformed from an ordinary mountain ape into a Hanhai Ape.

Every punch seemed to possess the power to shake the sea, continuously smashing forward.

Bang bang bang!

Everyone just felt a dizzying sensation.

Ice crystals were shattered, ice blades were shattered.

Even the icy storm turned into nothingness, annihilated in the Void Realm.

At this moment, Lin Shiyi was like a god of slaughter.

He slew the Icefield Wolf!

At the same time, though the Ice Wolf King nearby was extremely fierce, it appeared isolated and unable to cope under the five refined corpses.

The five Heavenly Corpses were not only physically robust, but they also released streams of corpse needles. These Five Elements corpse needles, when combined, were even more formidable than a set of Fourth-Order top-grade Magic Treasures.

This was another secret technique of the Five Elements Heavenly Corpse Art, Corpse Needle Rainstorm!

The Icefield Wolf King was pierced in many places, and its originally white body slowly began to turn green.

Finally, Lin Shimo used a Magic Treasure, the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, to pin down its entire body. A Flying Sword flew by, slaying the Icefield Wolf Great Demon.

With the two most powerful Great Demons slain, the remaining demon wolves became even more pathetic.

In the distance, snowy Ice Birds appeared, seemingly wanting to reinforce the Icefield Wolf clan, but then, seeing that the tide had turned, they quietly flew back.

Disappearing into the horizon.

Lin Zelu's Formation also closed directly, and the entire Ice Wolf Island was captured.

Everyone was beaming with joy.

The Purple Mansion Cultivator from the Ye Family and the remaining two Purple Mansion affiliated families also slew the remaining three Icefield Wolf Great Demons.

Compared to Yao Beasts, the Magic Treasures of Human Race Cultivators still held an advantageous position.

What's more, with both wolf kings slain, the tide had truly turned.

“Everyone, collect the corpses and calculate points and contribution!” Lin Yanqing shouted again.

He then arranged for Cultivators to search the mountain Peak. The topmost part naturally belonged to the Lin Family, as that was where the Spiritual Vein was located.

As for other areas, they could be given to the affiliated forces to scavenge.

“It's indeed a large Medium Grade Spirit Stone Mine!” When Lin Shimo and Lin Shiyi reached the Peak of the mountain and saw many Spirit Stones embedded in a wolf den, both couldn't help but smile.

To mine this Spirit Mine, the Lin Family only needed to arrange for Gold-Eating Rats.

These Gold-Eating Rats were brought by the Lin Family from the Eastern Domain and had always helped the Lin Family mine and collect Spirit Stones.

After a hundred years, the Lin Family's Gold-Eating Rats numbered over a thousand, with the highest Cultivation reaching Fourth-Order Gold-Eating Rats, comparable to Purple Mansion Great Demons.

So, the Lin Family didn't need to worry about miners.

“Ice Wolf Flowers. These can be given to Changxing. Perhaps he can achieve a Breakthrough to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage!” Lin Shiyi spoke again.

From the Immortal Cave, ice crystal-like flowers appeared.

These flowers, named Ice Wolf Flowers, could significantly boost the Spiritual Power of Water-attribute or Ice-attribute Cultivators who consumed them.

Especially for Lin Changxing, who was at the Peak of Foundation Establishment Middle Stage and a Heavenly Spiritual Root Cultivator.

His Breakthrough to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage was already not far off.

“No, there’s also a cold jade mine here!” Lin Shimo suddenly exclaimed. The two walked deeper into the cave, feeling a chill that was even stronger than that of the Icefield Wolf Great Demon.

When they reached the very end, two Icefield Wolf pups appeared, growling softly at them. Both pups had the Aura of a Third-Order.

Being at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage right after birth showed that these two Icefield Wolves had considerable talent.

They could also be captured and tamed.

Of course, most importantly, behind the Icefield Wolves, blocks of cold jade appeared.

These cold jades were all over ten years old, but for the two of them, the most important were the cold jades over a hundred years old.

cold jade over a hundred years old could suppress Heart Demons, and cold jade over a thousand years old was even more potent.

This was also crucial for Lin Shimo.

The Spirit Stone Mine could only be considered icing on the cake, but this cold jade mine was truly a timely help!

Moreover, the two initially calculated that, based on the scale of this cave and the cold Qi, this Spiritual Vein was at least a small cold jade mine.

It contained at least hundred-year-old cold jade.

As for thousand-year-old cold jade, that depended on luck!

But no matter what, the Lin Family had definitely hit the jackpot this time.

A Spirit Stone Mine and a cold jade mine. And it was important to know that before the attack, it had been agreed upon that this island would naturally not be shared by the Lin Family but kept for themselves.

Other families could only take some Spirit Medicine and Spirit Beast Materials.

“Let’s put these two little fellows away first. My Hao’er just happens to be missing a Spirit Beast!” Lin Shiyi said with a smile.

Unlike Lin Shimo, who was still single, Lin Shiyi now had three sons, but all of them had Three Spiritual Roots.

Their other talents were not particularly outstanding, except for his third son, Lin Zehao, who was more proficient in beast taming.

These Icefield Wolf pups were not weak, and if they underwent Bloodline Restoration, there was even a possibility of them becoming Demon Kings.

“Alright, Second Brother, when Zehao reaches Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, call me. It’s been a long time since I had a meal with Zehao!” Lin Shimo smiled, a rare sight.

Lin Shimo was also extremely fond of Lin Shiyi's children.

Unlike Lin Shiming, to whom he could not repay, he could repay Lin Shiyi a bit more.

After all, Lin Shiyi had also strongly supported him at the time.

So he was very grateful to the latter and was incredibly good to Lin Shiyi's three children.

But among others, only Lin Zekong caught his eye.
