Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

However, what the cultivators of the Lin Family had not anticipated was that the wedding ceremony did not extend invitations to other clans; it was only for family cultivators, and everything was kept simple!

Normally, for the wedding of a Family Head from a Foundation Establishment lineage, it was customary to invite all cultivators in Yunzhou and to also inform the Qingxuan Sect.

Invitations would be sent out in advance.

But this time, there were none, and the joyous day was set to be just seven days later.

It did, however, involve recalling a small portion of the cultivators stationed at Stone Ridge Cave, Lingnan County, and Shuangmu Island.

This included Lin Houyong and Lin Shijie from Shuangmu Island.

Lin Houshou continued his duty on Shuangmu Island.

The news was naturally presided over by Lin Houyuan.

Having acquired Superior Grade Spirit Stones, he naturally wanted to seclude himself for a breakthrough into the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment.

But for Lin Shiming's wedding feast, how could he have the heart to continue his seclusion?

Meanwhile, in Fangmu Mountain, everything was orderly, while Lin Shiming and Lin Shitao were already on their way to Xing County.

In Lin Shiming's mind, he also recalled the figure who had lain prostrate on his Flying Sword on his first visit to Qingtao Town.

Only, he had not expected that this person would now become his father-in-law.

An hour later, the two descended outside Xing County.

Looking at the county town, now larger and more expansive, the world of mortals was also thriving ever since the Lin Family had gradually improved, after all, the more cultivators the Lin Family had, the better they could protect these mortals.

And the more mortals there were, the higher the chance of children with Spirit Roots being born.

Clothed in a blue shirt, Lin Shiming, and Lin Shitao in a blue dress, after entering the city gates, went directly towards a residence in the west.

They finally stopped at a place called Guanglin Residence.

The entire estate was not small, and the doorkeepers, evidently trained fighters, had an aggressive aura about them.

Upon seeing Lin Shiming and Lin Shitao approach, with an exceptionally refined demeanor, clearly not mortals, they immediately spoke up:

"Do you have an invitation?"

"No, but could you let Lin Guanglin know that his daughter, Lin Shitao, has come to visit?"

Once the name Lin Shitao was mentioned, the two doorkeepers immediately became flustered, evidently having heard the name frequently.

Given Wang Mazhu's former handling of affairs, it was inevitable that he touted Lin Shitao's name grandiosely.

This would also elevate his status in the mortal realm.

After exchanging glances, one of them immediately went to report to the mansion.

Lin Shiming did not have to wait long, as he saw the former Wang Mazhu, now in brocade attire, hastily leading a group of youths, children, and women out to greet them.

Approaching Lin Shiming and Lin Shitao.

"Immortal Master, please!" At this point, Wang Mazhu had changed his name to Lin Guanglin. Though he appeared older and his temples were somewhat grayer,

his expression was more confident, and his reverence for cultivators was deeper.

After all, he realized that Lin Shiming still looked exactly the same as he did thirty years ago, without any change, while his own family had visibly aged.

And the large family behind him was something Lin Shiming found somewhat unexpected, as it was clearly the way Lin Shizhong, his father, had lived.

Of course, he didn't consider it a bad thing; it was the policy of the Lin Family.

Perhaps amongst them, there really were children with Spirit Roots.

Following Lin Guanglin into the mansion, they were asked to sit on a high platform.

Yet, how could Lin Shiming agree to sit.

"Father, Shitao and I have come to discuss something with you!" Lin Shitao took the initiative to step out.

She explained the situation thoroughly, and Lin Guanglin was overjoyed.

He had indeed harbored thoughts of matching Lin Shiming with Lin Shitao, just not understanding why it had taken thirty years to happen.

And now Lin Shiming, an Immortal Master himself, had come to carry out the marriage protocols with proper rites and generous gifts, which flattered him immensely.

He was extremely excited!

"Father-in-law!" Lin Shiming also changed his address, offering tea as a sign of respect from a junior.

At the same time, he presented the betrothal letter and the engagement gifts.

Although their wedding would not be opulent, it was to be celebrated within the Lin Family, and for Lin Shitao, it was necessary to invite her father.

It was essential to complete the traditional procedures of betrothal.

Lin Guanglin immediately ordered his servants to start preparing a feast, extending the invitation to the entire Ma Mansion.

That day, Lin Guanglin basked in glory, while Lin Shiming and Lin Shitao were extremely satisfied.

As cultivators, they would inevitably witness the death of these mortal kin, and the least they could do was to ensure that their descendants could enjoy a lifetime of prosperity.

And they would be more at peace.

The banquet lasted for three hours, and Lin Shiming also brought out a jug of first-grade Spiritual Wine, beneficial only to cultivators at the Innate stage, but apt for sharing with Lin Guanglin.

As for mortal food, Lin Shiming, who had long since ceased eating grains, did not partake.

After ample food and drink, Lin Guanglin pulled Lin Shitao aside.

This made Lin Shiming curious, and only after Lin Shitao returned and conveyed the message through a whisper did he understand.

It turned out that Lin Guanglin had also led many of his offspring to participate in the Ascension Conference, but they had never made an appearance. He superstitiously believed that if Lin Shiming could host the Ascension Conference, perhaps new Immortal Roots would appear.

Moreover, he promised to present three extraordinary treasures as tribute to Lin Shiming.

Lin Shiming nodded, but his interest was not in the treasures.

Examining the Spirit Roots was extremely simple for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, even without a Spirit Testing Plate, as they could use their True Yuan to test for Spirit Roots.

Lin Guanglin was overjoyed and quickly summoned all the children in the Ma Mansion under the age of twelve.

One by one, they were inspected by Lin Shiming.

To his surprise, he indeed detected a child with four Spirit Roots.

And that child, against all expectations, was merely the offspring Lin Guanglin had with a maid; in comparison to the other children, this youth's attire was clearly inferior.
