83: Awakening Flower Seeds

In Xing County Market, Lin Shiming walked along the streets once again. Compared to three years ago, the market had changed drastically.

The stall area and the shop area had been completely separated.

Furthermore, compared to three years ago, because Fifth Uncle Lin Houyong had transplanted two Second Rank Low Grade Spiritual Veins, the Spiritual Veins here had finally been upgraded to Second Rank High Grade, and the Spiritual Qi was much more abundant.

This was another reason why Loose Cultivators liked to come to Xing County Market.

However, what surprised Lin Shiming a little was that although the cultivation levels of the people who came this time were generally not as high as the previous time, the popularity was in no way inferior to the last Foundation Establishment Conference.

"Your policy is still the best. Many Loose Cultivators came for that Spirit Stone reduction policy of yours, especially the Loose Cultivators who successfully bid on items last time!" Lin Yuzheng, who was beside him, seemed to notice Lin Shiming's confusion and said with a smile.

When he first heard about that policy, he was also taken aback, because the profit margin for any auction item was only about thirty to forty percent, and that was assuming the auction was run well.

Lin Shiming's policy had given up nearly ten percent of the Spirit Stone profit, and if things had really gone to the extreme, they could have lost over ten thousand Spirit Stones.

But after thinking about it carefully, this ten percent profit would likely be driven back up by the Loose Cultivators themselves raising the prices.

Moreover, the popularity it brought was extremely impressive.

"Let's go to the Lin Family Restaurant first and let Shiming experience the Spirit Fish Feast!" Lin Yuzheng spoke again, and then the group headed to the Lin Family Restaurant.

This was a newly built restaurant by the Lin Family. However, upon arriving, they discovered that there were quite a few Loose Cultivators dining there, most of whom were there for the Lin Family's Spirit Fish and monkey wine.

"There are so many Cultivators, but how many can truly achieve a state of having few desires?" Lin Yuzheng sighed from the side.

Lin Shiming also quite agreed. Cultivators would spend years in seclusion, especially those Loose Cultivators who spent years lingering in dangerous places. Ordinary Mortal food could not catch their eyes, but Spirit Meals and spirit wine had become their hobbies.

Under normal circumstances, there might be fewer people, but now, on the eve of the auction, there were truly many Loose Cultivators.

The group entered the restaurant and chose a prime spot on the second floor.

After eating the Spirit Meal, Lin Shiming actually felt a bit of the Mortal sensation of "a meal for four seasons." This long-lost feeling made him feel quite wondrous.

Although the Spirit Meal here was not as good as that of Laiyue Restaurant in Qingxuan City, in Lin Shiming's opinion, it could already be considered a top-tier Spirit Meal in Yun Prefecture.

"It's a pity that other families have also started raising Spirit Fish!" Beside him, Lin Shijie, surprisingly caring about the Family, said with some regret.

Hearing this, Lin Shiming did not find it strange. As for the matter of Spirit Fish, as long as there was a water-attribute Spiritual Vein, almost anyone could raise them.

Furthermore, if the Purple Mansion Li Family were to raise them, they would definitely do better than the Lin Family.

This was also the reason why the Lin Family had to secure the Red Spirit Fish right now.

However, just at this moment, Lin Shiming's notification sounded again: "Please carefully patrol the stall area; you will be able to obtain dormant xingshen flower seeds that can enhance Divine Sense."

The arrival of the notification gave Lin Shiming a pleasant surprise.

If there was one thing he was most troubled by right now, it was that his Divine Sense was not strong enough. Currently, even with the Purple Wood Heart Sutra and the Heavenly Wood Spirit Planting Secret Method, wanting to control all the Serpent Vine Flowers and iron thorns required consuming most of his Divine Sense, and he had some trouble controlling the remaining three top-grade spirit sword Magical Artifacts.

If he could have xingshen grass and his Divine Sense increased significantly, then by the time he was in the Qi Refinement Stage, he would have almost nothing to fear from anyone.

Moreover, the most important thing was that an increase in Divine Sense could also increase the probability of Foundation Establishment.

One must know that he now had the Heavenly Wood Spirit Planting Secret Method and the Purple Wood Heart Sutra to condense Spiritual Qi, and his own conversion of Spiritual Qi into true essence was already stronger than the average Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level Cultivator. If his Divine Sense was also exceptionally outstanding, plus a Foundation Establishment Pill...

Lin Shiming suppressed his excitement. Even though he was still eating the Spirit Meal, he was now somewhat distracted.

After bidding farewell to Lin Shijie and Lin Yuzheng at the Lin Family Restaurant, Lin Shiming headed straight to the stall area.

Compared to the shop area, the cultivation levels of the Loose Cultivators in the stall area were another level lower, generally around the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining.

Most were selling various Spiritual Plants and flowers, and a small portion were selling some basic Medicinal Pills and some Low Grade Magical Artifacts.

Lin Shiming walked all the way, stopping only at stalls selling Spiritual Plants and flowers, and finally stopped in front of the stall of a woman wearing a spirit-isolating veil.

The woman was dressed in a long skirt, which was exceptionally eye-catching among the many male Cultivators.

Her stall was selling some spiritual flowers, Spiritual Plants, and seeds.

And Lin Shiming finally found the goal of his trip in a small jar.

"How do you sell these seeds?" Lin Shiming asked first, pointing to some Sanyang Flower seeds.

"Sanyang Flower is a Second Rank High Grade spiritual flower, one hundred Spirit Stones!" The female Cultivator's voice was extremely hoarse, completely different from the woman's graceful figure.

It made one wonder if the female Cultivator's appearance was also not good.

Lin Shiming did not think too much about it and continued to ask about the xingshen flower seeds next to it.

"What about this?"

"This is a xingshen flower seed, but it has entered a dormant period. It might not successfully germinate. Thirty Spirit Stones will do!" Lin Shiming did not expect the female Cultivator to know about the xingshen flower, but fortunately, the other party seemed to have tried planting the seed and failed.

"I want both these Sanyang Flower seeds and the xingshen flower seed!" Lin Shiming took out one hundred thirty Spirit Stones directly and handed them to the female Cultivator.

Just as Lin Shiming was about to leave, a voice suddenly rang out:

"Wait, I'll offer one hundred Spirit Stones for this xingshen flower seed. Sell it to me!"

A burly, bald Cultivator walked over. There were some strange tattoos on his face, making him look exceptionally ferocious.

And from the side, exclamations of the Lingnan Seven Fiends were heard immediately.

Obviously, this bald man seemed to have a significant background.

"This seed has already been sold to this Lin Family Cultivator!" The female Cultivator said calmly, then sat back down, not intending to get involved in the affairs between the Lin Family and the Lingnan Seven Fiends.

"Kid, sell this seed to me, 30 Spirit Stones!" After looking at Lin Shiming, the bald man spoke again.

"Fellow Daoist, being so aggressive, are you trying to rob me?" Lin Shiming stared coldly at the bald Cultivator and demanded sternly.

At the same time, he flipped the jar in his hand and put the seeds away.

At this time, the Lin Family Cultivators patrolling nearby also immediately rushed over.

"You will regret this!" Seeing this, the bald Cultivator left a harsh threat and then strode away.

Lin Shiming suddenly felt it was inexplicable; he had actually been warned by someone on his own territory.

Of course, he did not doubt the absurdity of this; on the contrary, he felt a sense of trepidation. The bald Cultivator was clearly a straightforward person just like his second brother.

Thinking from the other perspective, his second brother would definitely not be able to say such harsh words, unless he had the confidence to take revenge...
