61: Detailed explanation of the array

On the half-ruined cliff, the Five Absolute Evil Wind Formation dissipated.

Revealing the dilapidated ruins, pockmarked by countless Spells.

"Lin Xianzhi, if you don't stop, I will kill this child!" Huang Yunqi's expression was cold, and the High Grade third-tier Magical Artifact Flying Sword in his hand glowed brightly, slashing fiercely towards Lin Shiming.

Divine Sense Spiritual Might locked on, and a third-tier Magical Artifact Flying Sword slashed.

"How dare you!" Lin Xianzhi's usually calm heart could no longer remain so at this moment!

He desperately activated the Azure Lotus Sword in his hand, and countless Azure Lotus Sword Qi burst forth, a powerful Sword Intent pressing down on the latter without reservation.

The azure Azure Lotus Sword Light shot out in an instant, even faster than a Flying Sword, directly striking Huang Yunqi's Magical Artifact Flying Sword and sending it flying.

Seeing his attack fail, Huang Yunqi was not angry but rather pleased, as this indicated Lin Xianzhi's concern.

He then formed a palm with his True Essence, grabbing towards Lin Shiming.

However, to his surprise, the True Essence palm slammed into the ground with a bang.

Lin Shiming's figure was no longer there, only the Spiritual Qi fluctuation left by an Earth Escape Talisman.

With the Five Absolute Evil Wind Formation dispelled, the Earth Escape Talisman could naturally be used. Lin Shiming's panting figure only appeared a hundred meters away.

His attack having missed, Huang Yunqi's expression was extremely ugly.

However, at this most critical moment, Lin Xianzhi in the distance had already conjured the Azure Lotus Sword.

A Sword Light several tens of feet long descended. Huang Yunqi was greatly startled and only had time to parry with his sword.

With a crisp sound, he was engulfed by the Sword Light.

Thus, Huang Yunqi perished!

Not a single Cultivator from the Huang Family survived; the Lin Family achieved a great victory.

Yet, no one could muster any joy.

Everyone just gazed at the corner of the cliff that had fallen, as if the Third Elder, who had always been silent, tacitly contributing, was still there, merely hidden by the Formation.

"Clean up the spoils of war, and we'll return to Fangmu Mountain!" Lin Xianzhi's somber words rang out, and he threw out the spirit boat, flying towards Yunzhou once more.

At this moment, fearing any lingering tricks from Huang Yunqi, no one suggested meditating to recover.

On the spirit boat, Lin Shiming silently watched the sea of clouds, then looked at Lin Xianzhi, who sat alone at the front of the spirit boat.

The latter's figure at the front of the spirit boat appeared so transcendent, or rather, so lonely.

Beside him, Second Grandfather Lin Yunqi was still in his previous position, but his eyes were fixed on the spot where Lin Yushui had stood earlier.

Lin Shiming couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Peach Blossom Valley, Qingyun Mountain Range, and even Cliff Ridge, one Elder after another had passed away.

But then again, this was the path of cultivation.

Full of twists and turns, and danger!

On the Heaven-Defying path to Dao, one would eventually walk alone, just like Seventh Grand Uncle; few would accompany you to the very end.

At this moment, Lin Shiming felt the significance of the Family seemed to grow once more.

The bond of Bloodline, the companionship of walking the Great Dao together.

And the Legacy of the Family.

There are no evergreen trees in the world; old leaves will always be blown off by the wind, but the fallen dead leaves will turn into soil, nurturing more tender leaves, and the tender leaves will grow stronger and more vibrant.

Qi Refining Families cultivate Foundation Establishment Cultivators, Foundation Establishment Families cultivate Purple Mansion Cultivators, Purple Mansion Families cultivate Golden Core Cultivators; this is the cycle of a Cultivation Family... It was three days later when they returned to Fangmu Mountain. On the spirit boat, Lin Shiming and the others had recovered well, but Lin Xianzhi, due to piloting the spirit boat, was still severely injured and had entered secluded cultivation in the Lotus Pond.

In addition, Lin Shiming's father, Lin Houyuan, also announced his secluded cultivation in the Lotus Pond, preparing to heal his injuries and also to prepare for his Foundation Establishment Breakthrough.

All Family matters would be handled by Lin Yuqi.

Lin Shiming, on the other hand, found himself temporarily free. In the battle that day, his contributions were quite significant, and he received the Storage Pouch of the Foundation Establishment Cultivator Huang Liling. As for Huang Licheng's Storage Pouch, it was completely destroyed in the explosion.

The remaining five Cultivators each received two Storage Pouches from Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level Cultivators. The last extra one, along with Lin Yushui's Formation Flag relics, was given to her son, Lin Houshou.

Now that he was back in the Family, he finally had the opportunity to examine his gains.

He was extremely excited about the Foundation Establishment Cultivator's Storage Pouch.

After grinding away Huang Liling's residual Divine Sense, his Divine Sense entered the Storage Pouch.

Huang Liling's Storage Pouch was much larger than Lin Shiming's; the entire space was equivalent to a large room.

Inside, there were several wooden shelves. One shelf held Jade Slips, while an adjacent shelf contained Magical Artifacts and Spirit Talismans. The innermost shelf held boxes of Spirit Stones and some Spirit Pills.

He first examined the Jade Slips. Jade Slips could be copied, and they could also be handed over to the Family, which would earn him a good number of contribution points.

As he examined each Jade Slip, Lin Shiming was pleasantly surprised to discover that Huang Liling was a Low Grade third-tier Artifact Refiner.

The first Jade Slip contained Huang Liling's Artifact Refining insights, from introductory Artifact Refining to his experiences and notes as a third-tier Artifact Refiner, all exceptionally detailed.

Lin Shiming was very satisfied with this; it was excellent learning Material, both for the Family and for his future study of Artifact Refining.

It would prevent them from being completely clueless. One should know that the Lin Family, to this day, only had High Grade second-tier Artifact Refiners, with no third-tier Artifact Refiners.

However, when he saw the second Jade Slip, Lin Shiming was instantly greatly startled. This Jade Slip was named Detailed Explanation of Array Instruments.

It actually recorded how to use Formations to improve Artifact Refining skills.

It could even allow a High Grade second-tier Artifact Refiner to refine third-tier Magical Artifacts!

This was simply unheard of before.

This Detailed Explanation of Array Instruments was too important for the Lin Family, and in fact, this theory, after research, could be completely applied to Alchemy.

Then the Lin Family would not be far from having third-tier Alchemists and third-tier Artifact Refiners!

This was too important for the Lin Family, even comparable to the effect of a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Lin Shiming suppressed his inner excitement and continued to examine the Jade Slips. The subsequent Jade Slips were much more ordinary, mostly cultivation miscellany, some maps, and some secret news of the Huang Family.

The most numerous were some methods for refining standard Magical Artifacts.

Lin Shiming then skipped the Jade Slips and began to examine the Magical Artifacts.

The most outstanding was naturally the Low Grade third-tier Magical Artifact Flying Sword. Placed in an auction house, it would easily sell for tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.

Of course, he had a better destination for it: his father.

His father, upon breaking through to Foundation Establishment, would naturally lack a third-tier Magical Artifact. Coupled with the use of a Foundation Establishment Pill, and counting his accumulated contribution points, he already owed the Family seventy to eighty thousand contribution points.

He was much poorer than Lin Shiming.

Besides the third-tier Magical Artifact Flying Sword, the rest were High Grade Magical Artifacts, including a High Grade Magical Artifact Flying Sword and a High Grade defensive shield.

These two were not particularly attractive to Lin Shiming, as he already had the Qingxiao Sword and the Thick Earth Shield. However, both were quite valuable, at least worth five to six thousand Spirit Stones.

He did not see the anticipated third-tier Spirit Talismans; presumably, they had been used up that day. As for Spirit Stones and Spirit Pills, Lin Shiming was even more disappointed.

His wealth was even subtly inferior to his own.

Only a little over two thousand Spirit Stones, and the Medicinal Pills were all for healing, none exceeding High Grade second-tier.

He was simply the poorest Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
