Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

Earth Fire Hall, Pill Pavilion.

Lin Shiming had once again come to the Earth Fire Hall, where the hall seemed even more fiery red, and one could feel the scorching hot waves from afar.

The Formation Artifact Manual had brought the Lin Family Third Rank elixirs and Third Rank magic artifacts, but it also made the Earth Fire Hall even more volatile, with the rising ground fire burning incessantly.

A few of the Shiming generation apprentices who had previously controlled the furnaces were now practicing alchemy in the artifact refining chamber, each displaying considerable progress.

Only a few newcomers were left, either tending to the furnace or memorizing elixir formulas.

Upon seeing Lin Shiming arrive, they hurriedly called out "Seventh Brother."

"Where is Second Granduncle?" Lin Shiming asked, not seeing any sign of Lin Yuqi and feeling an inexplicable worry in the bottom of his heart.

"Second Granduncle is helping Sister Thirty-One with alchemy; she's about to break through to an intermediate-grade Second Rank alchemist!" The teenagers, obviously in extreme admiration of their so-called Sister Thirty-One, announced.

Lin Shiming also remembered that nine years had passed, and the once timid girl was now eighteen, about to break through to an intermediate-grade Second Rank alchemist.

It was said that her cultivation level had also reached the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation.

The speed of this cultivator with dual spirit roots and her talent for alchemy made even Lin Shiming quite envious.

Lin Shiming didn't have to wait too long; after all, an intermediate-grade Second Rank elixir didn't take as long to concoct as a Third Rank elixir, which could take days or even up to eight months.

When the room opened, Lin Shitao stepped out supporting Lin Yuqi, both of them showing joy on their faces, a clear sign that the pill was successfully concocted.

Indeed, upon seeing Lin Shiming, Lin Shitao took out a pill bottle for him to see, containing the Beast Nurturing Pill.

She was all smiles, with her willow-shaped eyebrows curved like crescent moons, resembling a blossoming peach flower.

The Beast Nurturing Pill that Lin Shiming had mentioned to her, she had accomplished in six years.

Lin Shiming was also very happy, but Lin Yuqi by his side had grown even more elderly, his wrinkles and white hair creeping over him at an unknown time; it seemed as if the immortal bearing of a cultivator was becoming distant in him.

Lin Shiming was puzzled, for as far as he knew, Lin Yuqi should be 96 years old today, four years younger than Great Elder Lin Yuqing.

Cultivators in the Qi Cultivation Stage should live without ailments and enjoy a lifespan of 120 years.

"Second Granduncle, you are the only Third Rank alchemist in our family, you must take care of your health!" Lin Shiming also stepped forward to support him, his words filled with worry.

Lin Yuqi tried to straighten his body, as if to prove he wasn't as Lin Shiming thought.

"It's nothing, I'm quite robust. In a few months, once I start up the furnace again, I'll concoct a good elixir for you, the Family Head, to celebrate!"

"Second Granduncle, that's not urgent, you should pay more attention to your health," Lin Shiming shook his head, knowing full well that what Lin Yuqi was talking about was the concoction of the Foundation Establishment Pill, which the family had promised him.

The family also had one last Heavenly Spirit Fruit.

But judging by Lin Yuqi's appearance, a Second Rank alchemist making a Third Rank elixir was bound to be exhausting, taking a toll on his lifespan. Besides, Lin Shiming already had a Foundation Establishment Pill, so he was in no hurry.

"No matter, rest assured, the family is getting better and better. I'm still waiting to see Shitao break through to become a Third Rank alchemist and Shijie become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!" Lin Yuqi said carefreely.

Then, as if remembering something, he dismissed the apprentices who were tending to the furnace and the cultivators memorizing formulas, and with the formation activated, he asked Lin Shiming:

"Shiming, do you have a new elixir formula to concoct? I see you're looking for the Demonic Cloud Fruit."

"Second Granduncle, you really can't hide anything from you!"

"There's a Demon Core Pill formula. My Mantis has already reached the peak of the Second Rank Demonic Beast, might as well give it a try!" Lin Shiming replied. A couple of days ago, he had issued a task in the family's Treasure Pavilion to search for the main ingredient of the Demon Core Pill, and it seemed that Lin Yuqi had guessed it.

"Good, the Lin Family is finally about to witness the emergence of a Third Rank Spirit Beast. For that alone, I'll make sure to concoct the Demon Core Pill for you, with this old body of mine!" Lin Yuqi's eyes once again gleamed with vigor, and then he stared at Lin Shiming.

At this moment, he seemed somewhat vigorous again.

Lin Shiming could not withstand Lin Yuqi's enthusiasm, and in the end, handed over the elixir formula to him.

Lin Yuqi also gave Lin Shiming about ten more bottles of Beast Nurturing Pills.

The three of them spent some time in the Pill Pavilion, drinking Spiritual Tea and discussing the family's recent affairs before Lin Shiming left.

However, what surprised Lin Shiming was that Lin Shitao unexpectedly caught up with him at the entrance of the Earth Fire Hall:

"Seventh Brother, do you know why Big Brother doesn't want to refine pills?"

```

"There are thousands of paths within the Great Dao; each person chooses their own. Pursue the Immortal Path with all your heart, big brother!" Lin Shiming recalled Lin Shijie's response back in Qingxuan City, and indeed, it was just as now, with his second brother having honed his cultivation and preparing for a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.

Four more years, and the family will once again travel to Qingxuan City to auction Foundation Establishment Pills.

"Oh!" The little girl walked back with a disappointed face; Lin Shiming felt bemused but didn't think much of it.

Within the Earth Fire Hall, Lin Shiming then visited the Artifact Refining Chamber.

The Artifact Refining Chamber was in another direction from the Pill Pavilion. When Lin Shiming arrived, he immediately saw Lin Shizhong, the son of the old town chief of Peach Blossom Town. After many years, he too had become a robust young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes.

"Seventh brother!" Lin Shizhong was grateful toward Lin Shiming, so upon laying eyes on him, he immediately set aside what he was doing and came over.

"Not bad, the peak of the fourth layer of Qi Cultivation Stage already!" Lin Shiming felt Lin Shizhong's cultivation level and couldn't help but praise him. With a Third Spirit Root and not even eighteen, reaching the fourth layer was quite good.

"Seventh brother must find my progress laughable. However, I will continue to work hard," said Lin Shizhong with a chuckle, his complexion somewhat darkened, possibly from frequently refining artifacts.

"Is Fourth Grandpa here?" asked Lin Shiming.

"Fourth Grandpa is resting in the Artifact Refining Chamber, having just completed a Supreme Grade magic artifact," Lin Shizhong informed Lin Shiming.

"Maybe Shizhong could pass on a message for Seventh Brother."

"No need¸ I will wait here for Fourth Grandpa," Lin Shiming gestured with his hand.

What Lin Shizhong referred to as a Supreme Grade artifact was likely a Third Rank artifact in Lin Shiming's opinion, so he didn't immediately disturb him and simply waited in the refining hall.

The Lin Family now had three Foundation Establishment cultivators and was also planning to sell Third Rank artifacts at Xing County Square Market, hence the pressure on Lin Yutie was substantial.

Approximately three hours later, the doors of Lin Yutie's Artifact Refining Chamber opened and he strode out.

Indeed, just as Lin Shiming had imagined, Lin Yutie also looked somewhat aged, an appearance that even spiritual energy seemed unable to rejuvenate.

But his vitality appeared ruddy, faring much better than Second Elder Lin Yuqi.

"Fourth Grandpa!" Lin Shiming greeted him respectfully.

"Family Head!" Lin Yutie greeted him back with a smile.

This made Lin Shiming feel awkward, and he quickly responded.

"Fourth Grandpa, please call me Shiming."

"Haha, young Family Head should get used to it!" Lin Yutie teased.

"Fourth Grandpa, I've come to ask for your help in crafting a few magic artifacts!" Lin Shiming saw Lin Yutie's response and decided not to insist, as each could address each other as they liked, and he didn't forget the purpose of his visit, taking out several demonic beast materials.

These were the materials left from slaying the martial cultivator: the Iron Fist of a black giant ape, the skin and claws of a color-changing lizard, the wings of a dark-night bat, the tail of a Thunder Spirit Leopard, and the azure horn of a Green Horned Barbaric Bull.

All these materials were suitable for crafting Supreme Grade artifacts, and Lin Yutie was immediately astounded upon seeing them.

Each piece of biomaterial was incredibly rare and possessed unique properties.

The Iron Fist of the black giant ape was suited for creating a Supreme Grade magic gauntlet, and the wings of the dark-night bat were ideal for making a cloak. The Green Horned Barbaric Bull and the Thunder Spirit Leopard each had their distinct features.

"Shiming, these four materials you have are extraordinary! They will definitely be used to craft powerful Supreme Grade artifacts!" Lin Yutie exclaimed excitedly.

But after he finished, he saw Lin Shiming looking somewhat puzzled and speaking up.

"Fourth Grandpa, there are actually five types of spiritual materials here!"

Lin Shiming picked up the skin of the color-changing lizard from the table and stimulated it with spiritual energy, until Lin Yutie finally saw some transparent spirit light.

Lin Yutie coughed awkwardly, clearly having overlooked the skin of the color-changing lizard when perusing the materials while using divine sense. However, he quickly forgot the oversight, and picking up the lizard's skin, he weighed it in his hands and infused it with spiritual energy.

The material's ability to change color on its own without spiritual energy piqued his interest greatly.

Finally, after a good while, he turned to Lin Shiming excitedly,

"Shiming, you're very fortunate! The family just happens to have a piece of Third Rank Illusionary Crystal Stone. I'll craft a Third Rank Invisibility Robe for you as a congratulatory gift for becoming the Family Head!"
