587: The flower of sunset, the flower of star and moon (2-in-1)
Chapter 590: Flower of the Setting Sun, Star Lunar Essence (Two-in-One)
Within the Spirit Lake, all the Spirit Fish gathered, including the giant Purple Mansion black fish and the Purple Mansion Late Stage Water Spirit Shell.
At this moment, they surrounded the Star Spirit Shell, as if surrounding their new king.
To Lin Shiming, it felt somewhat novel.
"Master!" the Star Spirit Shell called out as it saw Lin Shiming enter.
It knew who was responsible for its Breakthrough.
If not for Lin Shiming, it would still be in that Mysterious Grade Secret Realm of the Qingxuan Sect, possibly remaining a special third-order spirit shell throughout its life.
But now it had become a generation's Demon King.
It could even transform into human form.
However, the Star Spirit Shell was not yet accustomed to it, and Lin Shiming was also not accustomed to the Star Spirit Shell transforming into human form.
Nevertheless, its Breakthrough to Demon King was always worth celebrating.
Lin Shiming took out a considerable amount of fifth-order spirit soil and fifth-order spirit water, and at this moment, the Star Spirit Shell also spoke:
"Master, now that I have condensed a Golden Core, the Star Lunar Essence I refine is even more refined, and I believe it will definitely help Master's Cultivation!"
the Star Spirit Shell said.
Then, its stellar chart on its back began to shine brightly, and soon, a milky white spirit liquid condensed.
This scene made Lin Shiming feel novel.
Initially, the Star Spirit Shell condensed star spirit floss, which was a misty spirit liquid. Later, as it grew stronger, it condensed five-colored star spirit floss.
Now, it directly condensed moonlit spirit liquid.
Compared to the star spirit floss, the effect was naturally much greater.
Moreover, as if sensing the moonlight, all the second and third-order Spirit Fish began to leap out of the water.
In contrast, the giant black Purple Mansion fish showed no movement at all.
It only felt that these small fish were courting death.
The Cultivator in front of him was the Dominator of this world, and they still dared to snatch the star spirit floss.
Seeing these fattened Spirit Fish, Lin Shiming also waved his hand, knocking them all back into the water.
He then took the Star Lunar Essence and began to slowly absorb it.
As he absorbed the moonlight, the Star Body Tempering Art automatically circulated within his body.
The countless nodes in his Physical Body seemed to transform into individual Physical Body Immortal Caves, becoming incredibly powerful.
This feedback made Lin Shiming feel exceptionally immersed.
However, he knew what his main business was this time.
After absorbing the Star Lunar Essence, he stepped down from the high platform, gave all the stored fifth-order spirit soil and fifth-order spirit water to the latter, and then walked into the Ziyang Pagoda.
He saw that both Minor Divine Power Fruit Trees were growing quite well.
They were not far from ripening.
Lin Shiming also activated the green spirit patterns of the Golden Core within his body. As each spirit pattern lit up, he felt his own spiritual body being consumed.
Lin Shiming didn't know where this special spiritual power of the Minor Divine Ability came from.
But since the System didn't give any warnings, he could use it with peace of mind.
However, at this moment, the System prompt suddenly sounded.
Lin Shiming was also startled.
"Please focus the power of the Wind of Rejuvenation on one tree to ensure the ripening of one Minor Divine Power Fruit!"
Lin Shiming couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
Only one of the two Minor Divine Power Fruit Trees would ripen, meaning either Lin Shitao or Lin Xian Zhi would have to wait five years.
But since the prompt had appeared, Lin Shiming couldn't really divide it between the two trees.
He directly focused the catalytic on the slightly redder Minor Divine Power Fruit Tree.
Although he didn't know the attributes of the Minor Divine Power Fruit Tree, the crimson color generally indicated a fire attribute.
Although Lin Xian Zhi had broken through to Purple Mansion Late Stage before Lin Shitao.
But for the Lin Family, Lin Shitao, as an Alchemist, was more important than Lin Xian Zhi.
And for Lin Shiming, Lin Shitao was also his wife. If she could Break through earlier, it would lay a good foundation for her future Dao, allowing her to charge towards Nascent Soul, and even Soul Transformation with him.
If one were to say he was selfish, it wouldn't be wrong, but he wouldn't go back on something he had decided.
He believed Lin Xian Zhi would also understand.
As the Wind of Rejuvenation blew, the Little Divine Tree's leaves began to grow rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, it began to flower and bear fruit.
A crimson fruit began to appear.
And Lin Shiming also saw a vision: a crimson fire flower, falling on the west of the world.
Crimson flames, scattered all over the ground.
The next moment, that crimson fire flower also rose from the ground.
It actually blasted towards the sky.
This blast was extremely terrifying, just like the setting sun falling to the west, as if the sky could not bear this extreme limit.
Moreover, streaks of dark lightning appeared in the sky.
These dark lightning bolts were definitely stronger than Lightning Tribulations.
Lin Shiming was horrified. How did this Minor Divine Power Fruit Tree evolve?
One must know that his Shadow of Immortal Wood was also like this; it shattered the Void Realm and rooted itself in the Void Realm.
This fire flower, however, seemed to have cut down the scorching sun, perhaps it could be named the Flower of the Setting Sun.
This strike was absolutely shocking.
If Lin Shitao could learn it, she would definitely gain another means, and there was also a secret method to amplify the Minor Divine Power Fruit.
It was applicable to both Lin Shiming and Lin Shitao.
The illusion of the Minor Divine Power Fruit quickly disappeared again.
The stem of the Little Divine Tree also began to wither, its leaves fell, and the fruit quickly dropped.
It was caught by the Jade Slip that Lin Shiming had prepared earlier.
The remaining part of the Minor Divine Power Fruit Tree completely disappeared, leaving no trace.
Lin Shiming was a little regretful that this Minor Divine Power Fruit Tree could not be planted or continue to bear fruit.
He also didn't know what those great spirit plant masters were.
Perhaps this Minor Divine Power Fruit was just a projected Divine Ability left behind by those spiritual objects.
Lin Shiming couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it. For him, the most important thing now was to prepare Lin Shitao for her Breakthrough to Golden Core.
If Lin Shitao broke through to Golden Core, she would be able to refine High Grade fifth-order Spirit Pills, and then she would have a chance to refine nascent soul pills.
This was a great joy for Lin Shiming and even the Lin Family.
Lin Shiming carefully held the Minor Divine Power Fruit.
Then he took out a cushion.
This cushion was obtained by Lin Xian Zhi in the Taihan Secret Realm and had the effect of comprehending the Dao.
Although the effect wasn't that strong, it was just right for Lin Shitao to use when taking the Minor Divine Power Fruit.
There weren't many of these cushions, and they were a level higher than the mysterious cushion Lin Shiming had found before.
Lin Shiming took the cushion and the Minor Divine Power Fruit. As he left, he looked at the place where the Golden Winged Mantis was breaking through.
Now, the Spiritual Qi there was the most concentrated, almost half of the entire Immortal Cave's Spiritual Qi had gathered there.
In contrast, the Red-haired Demon Monkey's was much weaker.
Lin Shiming estimated that the Golden Winged Mantis's Breakthrough would be a little faster.
The Red-haired Demon Monkey might be a little slower.
Lin Shiming then sighed. He had done everything he could for the two beasts.
But it was true that the two of them were falling behind his pace.
Lin Shiming walked out of the Immortal Cave and headed towards Lin Shitao's Immortal Cave.
In front of Lin Shitao's Immortal Cave, the Spirit Peach Tree had grown even larger, and even the peach trees without Spiritual Qi had now transformed into Spirit Peach Trees, appearing to be High Grade second-order.
This was also related to Lin Shitao's care and the good Spiritual Vein of Thousand Wood Peak.
Now, sitting in front of the Immortal Cave, one could watch the sea and enjoy spirit tea. If the peaches ripened, one could also pick a few.
It was quite a pleasant affair.
Lin Shitao had a rare few days without Alchemy. She was currently studying a Jade Slip and saw Lin Shiming approaching.
Lin Shitao also spoke:
"Seventh Brother, Ze Ying also wants to sign up to mine the Secret Realm!"
"Let him go. Give him a few more treasures. He really needs to be tempered!" Lin Shiming replied.
He understood Lin Shitao's worries.
But Lin Zeying also had his own path to take.
He had been sheltered for over twenty years.
Now that he was at Foundation Establishment Early Stage, soon to be Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, he indeed needed some experience.
Moreover, while it was easy for the Family to arrange experiences for others, for Lin Zeying, any arrangements would likely be discussed with Lin Shiming.
This was unavoidable.
However, according to Lin Shitao, the Secret Realm was quite good, and the danger had at least a limit.
Lin Zeying was naturally going to a Profound Rank Secret Realm, where there would be no Purple Mansion Cultivators.
And Lin Zeying's treasures were almost half of Lin Shiming's treasures when he was young.
There were also Magical Artifacts refined for him by Real Person Jiuxiao, Lin Shizhong, Lin Hou, and others.
Lin Shiming wasn't too worried.
Recently, Lin Zeying received many Magical Artifacts and gifts every birthday.
This was even with Lin Shiming strictly forbidding him from accepting gifts from peers, only from elders.
Otherwise, Lin Zeying would have even more.
"Shitao, you should prepare for your Breakthrough!" Lin Shiming said, taking out two Jade Slips and a cushion.
Lin Shitao sat beside him, pouring spirit tea for Lin Shiming.
This spirit tea was precisely the Hongye Tea from the Hongye Islands, which was not only a fifth-order spirit tea but also had the effect of extending Lifespan. Although not much, it was definitely the signature product of the Hongye Islands.
Ordinary forces might not even be able to buy it if they wanted to.
"Did Real Person Hongye send this spirit tea?" Lin Shiming asked.
"Yes, Real Person Hongye sent it, and they have already evacuated from the Hongye Islands. The Family is also gradually taking control of the Hongye Islands. It's fortunate that Shijie broke through this time, otherwise the Family's personnel arrangement would have been difficult!" Lin Shitao now understood a lot about the Family's affairs.
Lin Shiming saw that the other party was sending tea, estimating that they wanted to send Family members due to the Tai Gan Abyss incident.
The Lin Family did indeed need to go to the Eastern Region.
The Hongye Islands wanted to keep a backup, and the Lin Family also needed to keep a backup.
However, Lin Shiming also knew that the Eastern Region was not safe; they would be facing the Dark Spirit Race there.
The South Sea was the Tai Gan Shark Clan.
He just didn't know if the Western Desert Cultivation World and the Northern Plains Cultivation World also had other races secretly coveting them.
Lin Shiming estimated that these Cultivators were all coveting the Innate Spirit Treasure of this realm.
After all, Spirit Treasures were treasures used by Soul Transformation Cultivators.
And Innate Spirit Treasures could be said to be treasures above Soul Transformation.
However, Innate Spirit Treasures could form self-protective power, making the barrier of this realm exceptionally strong.
But because someone broke through to Nascent Soul, this barrier began to loosen.
Now it was loosening even more, and it was estimated that it wouldn't be long before a more fierce battle erupted.
At that time, there might be battles everywhere.
Lin Shiming was also anxious at this moment and needed to Break through to Nascent Soul as soon as possible.
"Shitao, this is a Minor Divine Power Fruit and a top-grade fire spirit stone, which will help you Break through to Golden Core!" Lin Shiming said.
"Thank you, Seventh Brother!" Lin Shitao was also extremely happy to hear this.
But then, she frowned again.
"Has Seventh Grand Uncle taken his?"
"Don't worry, Seventh Grand Uncle's can wait a bit longer. This time it's a fire-attribute Minor Divine Power Fruit, which is more suitable for you. The next one might be suitable for Seventh Grand Uncle!" Lin Shiming said.
Upon hearing this, Lin Shitao was somewhat skeptical.
But after all, it was a joyous occasion for a Breakthrough.
And it also concerned whether she could stay with Lin Shiming forever in the future.
So she readily agreed.
After the two of them lingered lovingly, enjoyed tea and moonlight, and played music while watching the sea, Lin Shitao also began her secluded Cultivation.
She started to consume the Minor Divine Power Fruit.
Lin Shiming did not leave either.
It wouldn't take too long to comprehend the Minor Divine Ability after consuming the Minor Divine Power Fruit.
However, because it was consumed by a Purple Mansion, there would be a Minor Divine Ability Lightning Tribulation directly afterward.
This kind of Lightning Tribulation was naturally somewhat difficult for Cultivators who had just broken through, but for Purple Mansion Late Stage Cultivators, the Lightning Tribulation was much simpler, and with the Family's Nine Tribulation Thunder Pagoda Formation, passing it was a foregone conclusion.
But Lin Shiming was still a little worried. Anyway, Cultivation wouldn't be delayed by a few days, so he simply waited for some time.
The wait was not long. Two days later, as the setting sun dipped below the horizon.
Large swathes of crimson afterglow scattered across the sparkling sea, making it look breathtakingly beautiful.
And from Lin Shitao's Immortal Cave came a heart-pounding aura, a crimson flame falling towards the sky.
Finally, it plunged into the deep sea in the distance, instantly stirring up a terrifying wave.
This strike, even Lin Shiming was quite shocked to witness.
Lin Shitao also emerged, at this moment, the Spiritual Qi within her body seemed to have become much more violent.
"Seventh Brother, it's a success!" Lin Shitao said with a smile.
But thunderclouds also appeared in the sky.
The Minor Divine Ability Lightning Tribulation had arrived.
Lin Shitao also moved to a nearby island, landing in the center of the Nine Tribulation Thunder Pagoda Formation.
Minor Divine Ability Lightning Tribulations were all four-nine Lightning Tribulations, and their power was not as great as Golden Core Lightning Tribulations.
Passing it was not too difficult.
Moreover, Lin Shitao was even more confident that when she broke through to Golden Core in the future, she would face the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation with greater composure.
This also strengthened Lin Shiming's idea of letting Seventh Grand Uncle consume it.
A Cultivator could only consume one Minor Divine Power Fruit.
And Lin Xian Zhi, compared to others, had a slightly lower chance of breaking through to Golden Core.
Of course, if there was a new Minor Divine Power Fruit, he would definitely provide it to his father.
However, Lin Xian Zhi was already over four hundred years old after all.
The Lifespan of the Purple Mansion stage was five hundred years.
Even if Lin Xian Zhi had consumed the fu ling fire mulberry fruit, because he had previously Cultivated the Ren Water Geng Metal Art, he had consumed a lot of Lifespan.
His actual Lifespan might not even be five hundred.
As for Lin Xianyuan, he was currently under three hundred years old and still had a lot of Lifespan, so Lin Shiming didn't need to worry too early.
From another perspective, Lin Xian Zhi also seemed to have lost the drive he had in his youth.
For a Sword Cultivator, this was an extremely terrifying thing.
The most frightening thing was to feel old at heart.
That's why Lin Shiming was so anxious about Lin Xian Zhi.
"Seventh Brother, it's a success!" Lin Shitao quickly passed the Lightning Tribulation.
She walked out of the pagoda, her face full of composure and smiles.
For her, this was another step closer to Lin Shiming.
"I'll accompany you for a few days!" Lin Shiming said.
Lin Shitao also nodded.
She knew that after a few days of companionship, it would be time for Cultivation and secluded Cultivation.
And she could not afford to fail; she had to Break through to Golden Core.
After all, she now had children she cared about, and a husband she cared about.
"As for the Illusion Heart Pavilion, I will have Yan Jiao assist you!" Lin Shiming was still not at ease, finally adding.
For Lin Shitao, her Heart Demon Tribulation was what Lin Shiming was most worried about.
Even though both Heart Demons had already been broken.
