Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

But it still caused a tremor, considering that he was only at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

Yet he took out a supreme grade magic artifact, it must be known, even the Zhang Family's supreme grade magic artifacts were definitely few, after all, the Zhang Family had a vast business and more Foundation Establishment cultivators.

And such material for a magic artifact was not so easy to find either.

Now, these scenes filled with calculating and greedy eyes were unmistakably revealed.

It was exactly as he had speculated in his heart!

Still, Lin Shiming took a deep breath and spoke:

"These three treasures, I will only exchange for spirit medicine or secret techniques of the same level that can break through the bottleneck to the late stage of Foundation Establishment!"

As soon as Lin Shiming spoke these words, the other cultivators immediately understood why Lin Shiming had brought them out.

It was probably Lin Xianzhi's legacy.

And forcefully staying in seclusion without a breakthrough, now he had no choice but to come out and try to find a way to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

While the other cultivators were having these thoughts, Lin Shiming's eyes grew dimmer.

Elixirs that could break through the bottleneck to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, although worth about as much as Lin Shiming's treasures, in this world, cultivation level was ultimately supreme, and one's own cultivation level was the true path.

Otherwise, Foundation Establishment Pills and Purple Mansion Jade Liquid wouldn't sell at exorbitant prices.

And the elixirs that could break through to late-stage Foundation Establishment, the crowd was not willing to part with, of course, it was also possible they did not have any!

As the bidding went around with no one speaking up, quite a few cultivators privately sent voice transmissions to Lin Shiming with other treasures.

But just like stones sinking into the ocean, there was not a single response.

And Lin Shiming's face grew increasingly unpleasant until, at last, a sigh was heard:

"Then I will exchange for lifespan extension elixirs!"

Once lifespan extension elixirs were mentioned, the other cultivators shook their heads again.

But in their minds, a piece of information formed, especially for the Zhang Family, looking again at Lin Shiming's graying hair.

A nominal disciple of the Qingxuan Sect was not so easy to be.

The meaning expressed in this was somewhat obvious now.

"I will also accept Soul-Suppressing Stone or Meteorite Iron in exchange!"

Having said that, Lin Shiming sat down on a chair, a look of disappointment on his face.

To the others, this scene just seemed like the Lin Family might have reached its end. Continue reading stories on My Virtual Library Empire

Lin Shiming's potential was exhausted, only his strength as a sword cultivator was keeping him going, and once Lin Shiming's lifespan ran out, other families would be able to surpass the Lin Family. In their view, the younger generation of the Lin Family was not to be feared, bringing along two cultivators who were only at the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation.

Once Lin Shiming had finished his actions and saw there were no issues, he was also able to let go of his worries.

If he still couldn't exchange for Meteorite Iron, he would have had no choice but to shake his head.

But the next moment, Zhang Haoling stepped forward.

"What a coincidence, Daoist Lin, I happen to have Meteorite Iron!" Zhang Haoling said as he flipped his hand.

A tray appeared in his hand, a piece of golden silk was pulled away, revealing a piece of Meteorite Iron the size of a millstone.

This scene also made everyone present feel burning desire.

The material of Meteorite Iron was equally invaluable.

For cultivators, it was quite rare.

Especially a size large enough to craft a magic artifact from.

"I'll use this Meteorite Iron to exchange for your Black Cloud Tower and Hundred-Year Spirit Milk!" Zhang Haoling declared.

"No, although your Meteorite Iron is large, my Black Cloud Tower is not just any supreme grade magic artifact. Although Lin cannot use it, I can't suffer such a loss!" Lin Shiming immediately shook his head.

What Lin Shiming didn't expect was that Zhang Haoling reached into his pocket and produced a small piece of Soul-Suppressing Stone.

This Soul-Suppressing Stone wasn't enough to refine even half a Soul-Suppressing Pagoda, but for Lin Shiming, it was still a significant gain.

"Add ten superior grade Spirit Stones!" Lin Shiming spoke again.

And Zhang Haoling did not refuse, seemingly dovetailing with the favor Lin Shiming had openly expressed for him just a moment ago.

Spirit Stones, Soul-Suppressing Stone, and Meteorite Iron, all were traded successfully.

Lin Shiming was extremely surprised.

However, he still wore a look of having suffered a huge loss on his face.

Meanwhile, Lin Shiyi at his side did not speak. He felt that the Lin Shiming beside him was somewhat different.

Every time that expression appeared, it was as if he had acquired something valuable.

The situation was the same when I bought the Golden Winged Mantis eggs and when I bought the Beast Nurturing Pill recipe.

Lin Shiming descended from the stage while others took their turns approaching to start their trades.

Though Yunzhou had many treasures, the overall level still fell short of the previous event hosted by Xiao Chen, and there were not many items left that could catch his eye.

Some were joyful, while others were anxious.

The trading event was filled with unpredictability, and no one could guarantee acquiring the treasures they desired.

Even Shiming had felt uneasy before Zhang Haoling had stepped forward.

The trading event, being a barter system, also involved some elements of luck, and he had system prompts to aid him.

Otherwise, if he had stuck with his original plan, he probably could only have exchanged for half a Soul-Suppressing Stone at best.

As for the remaining Pill Furnaces, Lin Shiming had not traded them away.

He did not lack other treasures, and the Lin Family was in need of such furnaces.

A Pill Furnace is not like an ordinary Magic Artifact; the difficulty of making one is far greater than that of a regular artifact, which is why the Lin Family didn't possess a good quality furnace despite previously having a Third Rank Artifact Refiner.

After the trading event, half a day had gone by.

Zhang Haoling had frequently made moves, exchanging many items and acquiring a number of spiritual medicines and materials.

This slightly improved the mood of the crowd.

Lin Shiyi also managed to acquire a type of Spiritual Medicine that could temper a Spiritual Body.

He couldn't help but smile goofily, showing impatience as well.

However, once everyone left the hall, they all began to frown again.

It was an expedition unsupported by the Qingxuan Sect and fraught with immense danger.

They were unaware of why the Chen Family and the Lin Family had agreed so quickly to participate, given that both families had backers within the Qingxuan Sect.

In midst of the confusion, Lin Shiming took Lin Shiyi back to the Lin Family's Pill Pavilion.

Lin Yuzheng and others were waiting, and upon seeing Lin Shiming and Lin Shiyi return safely, they relaxed and each went about their own business.

The family had brought many Second Rank Spirit Pills and even Third Rank Spirit Pills this time, which were bound to be bestsellers in the Pill Pavilion.

It was only due to the shortage of Third Rank Alchemists that the Lin Family had to space out the sales of Third Rank Spirit Pills every few months, or even half a year at a time.

Lin Shiming, of course, was unaware of Lin Yuzheng's thoughts and went straight back to his room.

After setting up the Soundproofing Formation and Spirit Isolation Formation, he entered the Cave Heaven World.

Underneath a small hill here, an ant nest had been developed, where eighty-one Devouring Ants rested, each bearing fierce fangs, gnawing on the sparse Spirit Milk Stones and Golden Iron Crystals.

The Golden Iron Crystals were produced in the family's Stone Ridge Cave, and Lin Shiming had taken quite a few from the family's treasury.

These Devouring Ants, sensing Lin Shiming's presence, buzzed their wings speckled with starry patterns and flew to surround him, some landing on his shoulder and others directly onto his palm.

In the next moment, as Lin Shiming brought out Meteorite Iron, the swarm of Devouring Ants began to nibble it like a delicious treat, similar to how they ate the Spirit Milk Stones.

Yet the consumption was slow, and along with the nibbling, beams of starlight appeared across the bodies of the Devouring Ants, while at a distance, the Star Spirit Clam floated above the Spirit Pond.

Now that Wang Jiao had ceased to trouble it, it finally dared to open its shell, exposing its tentacles.

In this moment, it also turned its attention toward the Meteorite Iron and the Devouring Ants.

Starlight appeared on the clam's shell as well.

Lin Shiming did not expect the Meteorite Iron to have such a good effect on the Star Spirit Clam.

However, as the eighty-one Devouring Ants began their feast, the Meteorite Iron visibly started to shrink.

After half an hour, the Meteorite Iron completely disappeared, and with a wave of contentment passing through his Divine Sense, all the Devouring Ants burrowed into the ground.

In the blink of an eye, they vanished from sight.

When Lin Shiming extended his Divine Sense below, he found that the Devouring Ants underground had started to eat each other again.

Lin Shiming did not intervene; it seemed that the ants' reproduction and evolution required the nourishment of their own kind.

Or perhaps the power in their bloodlines was inadequate.

In the end, only nine remained, reducing the number of Devouring Ants by ninefold.

These nine ants began to form cocoons, and by the time they awakened next, they might have evolved into Third Rank Devouring Ants.

It made Lin Shiming look forward to it.

Having dealt with the Devouring Ants, Lin Shiming found the Tree Spirit of the Mingxin Tea Tree now looking at the Minor Divine Ability Tree.

Just like how it had previously looked at the Golden Thunder Bamboo.

This brought Lin Shiming joy, wondering if the Tree Spirit was about to evolve again?
