650: Traveling with Shitao

Chapter 653: Shitao Accompanies

The crimson sun rose from the east, and on the Lin Family square, many Cultivators were gathered.

Lin Shiming also flew in from the horizon; today was the day to head to the Tianliu Islands.

True Lord Tianliu's grand ceremony was about to commence, and Lin Shiming had a close relationship with Tianliu Island, so he naturally had to go early.

Moreover, the congratulatory gift also needed to be prepared in advance.

When Lin Shiming flew into the square, the other Lin Family members who were going had already been waiting there.

Although Lin Shiming was also very early, for those Family members, they always knew Lin Shiming would arrive a bit early, but they couldn't possibly make Lin Shiming wait for them.

So they preferred to arrive even earlier.

This time, the Golden Core Cultivators going to the Tianliu Islands were Lin Shiming and Lin Shilei; the Purple Mansion Cultivators were Lin Changxing, Lin Yanxing, and Lin Zehong; and the Foundation Establishment Cultivators were Lin Changjian and Lin Changxiao, plus Lin Changxue, who was at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.

Lin Changxue is now highly favored within the Lin Family, primarily guided by Lin Changxing.

After all, Lin Changxing has a Water Spiritual Root, and Lin Changxue has a Heavenly Spiritual Root, so Cultivating in the Lin Family's Taihan Secret Realm is twice as effective.

"If you're ready, let's depart early. The Spirit Cuisine on Tianliu Island is also exceptional; I can take you to experience it then," Lin Shiming said.

Just then, a green rainbow streaked across the distance, and Lin Shitao also flew over.

"Seventh Brother, I want to go this time too!" Lin Shitao said.

At her words, Lin Shiming was startled for a moment, but then quickly understood.

"Then come along."

Lin Shitao's sudden decision to come along without consulting him clearly indicated she had something on her mind.

Lin Shiming could guess some of it, but for him, whether Lin Shitao went or not was the same; he would naturally guard his heart.

Lin Shitao's appearance was just a small interlude, and Lin Shiming led the group of Family members towards the Teleportation Array.

The Teleportation Array could only reach the Hongmu Islands or Tianxiang Island.

Although Tianxiang Island was not as prosperous as Jiuyue Island now, under Lin Shiming's powerful Divine Sense, everything was revealed.

So he directly transferred to the Hongmu Islands.

As the teleportation light faded, the other Family members were more or less dizzy, but Lin Shiming remained calm and composed. His Divine Sense spread around Hongmu Island, sensing the changes on the island.

Compared to before, the Spiritual Qi was naturally much weaker, as Real Person Hongye only left two Spiritual Veins when she relocated.

Even though the Lin Family had developed some in recent years, the Lin Family's main focus was still on Shuangmu Island.

The Spiritual Veins here hadn't even reached High Grade Fifth-rank.

However, there were still many Cultivators.

Lin Shiming took a look, felt reassured, and didn't linger on Hongmu Island. Instead, he took the Teleportation Array and continued towards Tianliu Island.

When the teleportation light faded, he saw the ancient Tianliu tree at the very center.

That ancient tree was larger, taller, and denser than it had been decades ago.

The Spiritual Qi on the island had, at some point, become a Sixth-rank Spiritual Vein.

Lin Shiming couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but he quickly estimated that Coral Island must have helped.

Zhao Yulin and Zhao Fuling are both Zhao Family Cultivators. Although Tianliu Island has a good relationship with the Lin Family, in fact, if a major event occurs, Tianliu Island would follow Coral Island more closely.

"This ancient tree on Tianliu Island is truly massive. When will our Lin Family have such a large ancient tree!" Lin Shilei and others also sighed with emotion.

The most powerful Wood Demon in the Lin Family now are Old Wood, who is at the Mid Purple Mansion Realm, Thunder Child, who is at the Purple Mansion Late Stage, and a Purple Sandalwood Wood Demon, who is at the Early Violet Palace Stage.

"Senior Lin." Just then, a woman suddenly spoke.

Lin Shiming recognized this woman; she was the Purple Mansion female Cultivator who had previously attended True Lord Xueshan's grand ceremony.

"Junior Martial Uncle Zhao asked me to wait for you here. Please follow me!" The Purple Mansion female Cultivator was exceptionally sweet-looking, and if Lin Shiming remembered correctly, she was also a Heavenly Spiritual Root Cultivator, destined to become a Golden Core Cultivator in the future.

Lin Shiming couldn't help but glance at Lin Shitao at this moment.

He only relaxed when he saw that she was still smiling brightly.

Although he had no ill intentions, he was still a little worried that Zhao Yulin had prepared a room for him in advance.

The group followed the female Cultivator to the Tianliu Pavilion in the Tianliu Islands.

This Tianliu Pavilion was a building used by Tianliu Island to entertain Cultivators.

However, it used to be a single pavilion, but now, for the grand ceremony, it had long since become a palace complex.

Immortal Masters all had their own palaces, and the Lin Family also had a dedicated Lin Family palace here.

"This is it, Senior Lin. Please settle in first, and I will go notify Junior Martial Uncle Zhao."

"If you have any instructions, you can contact this Junior at any time."

"Go ahead!" Lin Shiming nodded.

"Seventh Brother, there are quite a few female Cultivators on Tianliu Island," Lin Shilei said at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiming couldn't help but give Lin Shilei a second look, then smiled and said:

"If you fancy anyone, boldly make contact. I believe True Lord Tianliu will give me Face on this!"

"Of course, it must be mutual!" Lin Shiming quickly added.

Lin Shilei's Face immediately flushed, and he wanted to speak but ultimately remained silent.

The Lin Family's palace was named Welcoming Lin Palace, located at the innermost part of the palace complex. True Lord Tianliu's regard for the Lin Family was absolutely not low.

From its location, it was clear that it was an excellent spot.

Welcoming Lin Palace had four floors in total.

Such palaces symbolized the status of Cultivators.

Generally, Purple Mansion Cultivators had two-story small halls, Golden Core Cultivators had three-story palaces, and Nascent Soul Cultivators had four-story luxurious palaces.

"Shilei, Changxing, Changxue, arrange yourselves!" Upon entering the palace, there was a large hall. Lin Shiming instructed the other Lin Family members to go their separate ways.

He, however, walked out, preparing to visit True Lord Tianliu in advance.

Even though Tianliu Island valued him and treated him as a Nascent Soul Cultivator, he knew clearly that he could not compare to a Nascent Soul Cultivator. At this moment, if he waited for the host to come see him, that would be his carelessness.

One should know that even by seniority, True Lord Tianliu was his Senior.

Moreover, the latter had given him a lot of guidance in the Sword Domain; otherwise, Lin Shiming's Sword Domain, he truly didn't know if it could have been so smooth.

"Shitao, you come along too." Lin Shiming called Lin Shitao as he left.

Since she had come along, he would naturally keep her by his side every step of the way.

Lin Shiming transmitted a message to True Lord Tianliu.

Then he headed towards True Lord Tianliu's Tianliu Palace.

Seeing this, Lin Shiming couldn't help but recall that year when Real Person Hongye asked him to contact True Lord Tianliu, and True Lord Tianliu didn't even meet him then.

However, he also knew that at that time, Immortal Master Xuri had been slain by him and the Yan Yang Sword.

The entire Hongye Island had shown weakness.

True Lord Tianliu quickly replied, and Lin Shiming, seeing this, directly took Lin Shitao and headed towards Tianliu Palace.

Tianliu Palace was in the center of Tianliu Island, not far from here.

"Lin Shiming of the Lin Family, with his wife, respectfully congratulates Senior True Lord Tianliu on his Breakthrough." Upon arriving at the palace entrance, Lin Shiming spoke directly.
