Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

In the room, Yu Jing remained rooted to the spot, not responding for a long time.

Lin Shiming had finished his tea and took the cup himself, then fetched the Lin Family's Emerald Spiritual Tea and brewed another cup.

He also poured a cup for the other party.

The lush tea fragrance overpowered the previous scent of the Spiritual Tea, filling the room with a fragrance like that of lush orchids, and the spiritual energy became even richer.

Lin Shiming lifted the cup and drank by himself.

Whether Yu Jing agreed or not, he didn't care, even though he already knew about that inheritance cave dwelling of the Xu Family.

But that was something Yu Jing had mentioned herself.

The Lin Family's plate had grown larger; they naturally couldn't seek revenge for a cultivator just because they showed up.

In the Cultivation World, making too many enemies was also taboo.

Regarding an unknown enemy, the Lin Family couldn't afford to make enemies rashly.

And although Yu Jing said there was no Purple Mansion Spiritual Medicine,

Lin Shiming also suspected that she had made a breakthrough once and had opened her Purple Mansion Taoist Meridians.

That would make sense.

Otherwise, a typical Foundation Establishment peak cultivator wishing to craft a Fourth Rank Spirit Talisman would also need a decent Secret Technique.

So, the other party's likely target was the Illusionary Heart Pavilion!

Therefore, his demands were as such—the position of Guest Elder was definitely subject to discounts, as the family's cohesion lay within the family itself.

Absolute fairness is in fact unfair.

Lin Shiming's expression remained calm, as if he was enjoying the gentle sunlight on a leisurely afternoon.

His body and mind were indeed very relaxed.

After the beast tide, he had eased up quite a bit.

Cultivation was more about interspersing tension with relaxation.

Eventually, he flicked his finger against the cup, causing some of the spirit mist on the tea to dissipate, and his face showed a slight loss of patience.

"I am willing, but I ask that Lin Senior keeps the identity of this young lady a secret!" Yu Jing gritted her teeth and finally made her decision.

Right now, let alone finding a place for cultivation, she couldn't even guarantee her own safety.

Otherwise, as a Talisman Master, why would she come to Heavenly Phenomenon Island during the beast tide if not to avoid her enemies?

"Of course!" Lin Shiming nodded and handed a copy of the Lin Family Guest Elder's manual Jade Slip to Yu Jing.

It also included the Heavenly Dao oath she had to swear.

For Talisman Masters like Yu Jing, a special appointment as a Guest Elder was possible, with different treatments and benefits, and correspondingly different Heavenly Dao oaths required.

He also needed to inform her of the specific regulations.

Yu Jing carefully read the Jade Slip three times before tenderly handing the Jade Slip back to Lin Shiming.

Just when Yu Jing thought it was all over, Lin Shiming unexpectedly spoke again,

"Lin Shijin told you, didn't he..."

As soon as he spoke, Yu Jing was startled, but still tried to forcefully suppress her reaction and quickly shook her head.

Lin Shiming didn't say more and left the room, his mind already settling on an answer.

Seeing Lin Shijin waiting at the door.

"Shijin, come with me!" Lin Shiming took Lin Shijin straight to Shijin's room.

"Seventh Brother..." Lin Shijin bowed his head, silent for a moment.

"When Shuangmu Island is rebuilt, face the wall in seclusion for twenty years, and at the same time, your salary for these ten years is revoked. Do you agree?"

"Agreed!" Lin Shijin nodded.

"Seventh Brother, I didn't mention Illusionary Heart Pavilion; I just said joining the Lin Family and becoming part of Purple Mansion is quite possible..."

"Shijin, I trust you, but sometimes there's no difference between five hundred and a thousand; you've been crafting talismans all year long and aren't adept at external communication!"

Lin Shiming sighed as well; he didn't want to punish Lin Shijin, who had good intentions, but this time punishment was unavoidable.

Cultivators in the Lin Family knew about Illusionary Heart Pavilion and Sword Pavilion to no small extent, but only the Lin Family's upper echelons knew how Illusionary Heart Pavilion could help to congeal a Divine Soul of the Purple Mansion.

Yu Jing had clearly guessed something, and such a woman, once driven to desperation, could be extremely terrifying.

At the same time, what he feared the most was Lin Shijin developing affections for Yu Jing.

The scene he had witnessed when he first came in was enlightening.

Lin Shijin, in front of Yu Jing, was far behind in terms of scheming.

If, after twenty years of hardship and wall-facing cultivation, Lin Shijin still had that intention and Yu Jing still conducted herself well, Lin Shiming would not stand in their way then.

In twenty years, the Lin Family's combat power would have doubled.

By then, the Lin Family would not mind seeking revenge for Yu Jing.

The inheritance of Fifth Rank Spirit Talismans and a Fourth Rank Spirit Talisman Master were indeed worth the Lin Family's investment.

And even if Yu Jing's cultivation level broke through, she wouldn't be able to cause much of a stir.

After assigning Lin Shijin his punishment, Lin Shiming went to look at other Loose Cultivators who had joined the Lin Family. These Guest Elders were indeed just Guest Elders; the one with the highest cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, most with a unique skill, either Third Rank Alchemists, Third Rank Spirit Talisman Masters, or Artifact Refiners.

Their Spirit Roots weren't extraordinarily good; after Lin Shiming met with them, they were all surprised and flattered.

They were full of expectation for the Lin Family.

Lin Shiming also repeated the Lin Family's rules for Guest Elders to them and was very satisfied with their addition; for the Lin Family, which was rapidly expanding, masters of the three great skills would always be in shortage, not to mention that the Lin Family would further control two more external islands, including the large Jiuyue Island.

The income from these Transmission Formations, at this moment, only required the Lin Family to remit one layer!

Although it wasn't to the advantage of the Coral Alliance's senior levels, for the Lin Family at this time, it also wasn't suitable to give up the benefits of the Purple Sun Secret Realm and even the secrets of the Heavenly Rank Secret Realm islands.

All of this needed time.

Leaving Jade Peak, Lin Shiming then went to the market to check on the progress of the Transmission Formation.

Because the damage to the Transmission Formation was severe, even after four days had passed, it had still not been repaired.

Lin Shiyun and Lin Zelu, after all, were only at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, and after deploying it for a while, they needed to take a break.

After Lin Shiming looked over the situation, he once again returned to his Zi Yu Mountain cave dwelling.

He began to inspect the gains from his trip to Xu Ri Island.

The actual gains were the Fourth Rank Mu Xin Spiritual Liquid and pages of a book obtained in exchange from True Person Mingdeng.
