Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

Lin Shiming examined it for a long time and then held it in his hands for a closer look, yet he still had no clue. He dared to bet that this crystal might not be an ordinary treasure.

Instead, it resembled something from the Ancient Demon Realm.

He could only wait for the system prompt to refresh the next day.

After all, being classified alongside the Thousand-Star Fruit as a treasure of similar caliber, the system prompt should provide guidance on this.

Of course, if there was no prompt, Lin Shiming could only wait until his next rotation duty to see if he could inquire about it with the Golden Light True Buddha.

Since Chi Lan True Lord's breakthrough, Lin Shiming had been rotating shifts with the Golden Light True Buddha, forming a two-person guard rotation team.

Additionally, Granny Qingyu and a True Monarch from Nan Jiang rotated shifts with Nine Dragon True Monarch and Xue Shan True Monarch respectively.

After reviewing the spiritual medicines and treasures, Lin Shiming moved on to the next item. On the third floor of the palace, there were jade slips, and the contents inside were plentiful.

Just as Lin Shijie predicted, this Demon Corpse True Person certainly intended to establish a sect.

The jade slips here might likely be copies taken from the Corpse Refining Gate.

Lin Shiming remained cautiously alert. He had to be wary of these demon cultivators and blood cultivators; who knew what treasure they might possess to circumvent Heavenly Dao oaths or the Sect's Jade Book.

After all, even in his Cave Heaven, there was Purple Illusion Sky Net Wine.

Lin Shiming carefully examined these jade slips. Those containing demonic path cultivation techniques that they couldn't use were set aside, reserved for Lin Shimo and Lin Houshou.

The two of them could still make use of certain secret techniques.

Furthermore, there were also some blood escape techniques and furnace cauldron techniques.

Lin Shiming shook his head, but he didn't destroy them either. For him, even though he denounced the demonic sects, he didn't entirely reject some of their secret techniques.

For instance, the Blood Demon Body Refinement manual had once saved Lin Houshou's life. Besides that, the Five Elements Heavenly Corpse Decree had helped Lin Shimo break through to the Golden Core stage and might even enable him to achieve the Nascent Soul stage in the future.

Demonic sect cultivation techniques focus less on innate talent.

Instead, they place greater value on a cultivator's mental fortitude and willpower.

However, in Lin Shiming's opinion, these secret techniques seemed somewhat mediocre.

He quickly realized that the truly powerful techniques must reside in the mind of the Demon Corpse True Person.

But Lin Shiming lacked the ability to perform soul-searching on him, which was a major regret.

Otherwise, he could uncover countless demonic sect secret techniques.

Lin Shiming continued his inspection, and toward the end, he found only an inferior-grade earth-rank Harmonious Joy Demonic Tome. After glancing at it a few times, he lost interest.

It violated the natural order too excessively; constant energy harvesting would lead to hollow and unstable cultivation.

Lin Shiming moved on to the fourth floor.

The fourth floor of the palace was much simpler, containing only a few treasures.

These were housed within a massive treasure chest.

This treasure chest was made of spiritual wood, specifically Netherworld Heavy Ironwood, which exuded a faint oily glow.

Upon laying eyes on the contents of the treasure chest.

Lin Shiming furrowed his brows. Inside the chest, there was only a black book cover and a dark black long spear.

The black book cover was engraved with strange demonic patterns, seemingly a manual belonging to the Ancient Demon Race.

Such a revelation shocked Lin Shiming deeply.

A single glance at these demonic patterns made his head spin, as if countless images of mountains of corpses and seas of blood emerged in his mind, with ancient demons appearing on the battlefield.

His mind began to stir with killing intent.

But soon, with the help of the Sword Storing Book, his mind regained clarity.

Lin Shiming dared not continue examining the ancient demonic manual. He had no idea how the Demon Corpse True Person had managed this, but it was clear that, apart from himself, no one else in the Lin Family could withstand this ancient demon's corruption.

Nonetheless, the undeniable truth was that this Ancient Demon Book was undoubtedly the most valuable item he had acquired this time.

Lin Shiming even speculated that these demonic patterns had reached the level of the sixth rank.

After all, the mid-fifth rank Demon Corpse could achieve late-fifth rank capabilities due to these demonic patterns.

And the shield that the Demon Corpse True Person had deployed was able to withstand the combined assault of the Leiming Sword and the Ying Fengjian.

In terms of destructive power alone, Lin Shiming felt somewhat inferior to these two swords.

After examining the ancient demon book for a few more moments, he was once again tempted. However, he finally placed the book back into the spiritual box made of Netherworld Heavy Ironwood and picked up the other item: the dark black long spear.

The material of this spear was extremely special; it had some similarities to the Sword Storing Book but was also vastly different.

It seemed to be a damaged spiritual treasure, yet it wasn't entirely a spiritual treasure—it might be a damaged demon treasure.

This would likely require a Treasure Unlocking Decree.

Otherwise, the Demon Corpse True Person would certainly have used it.

No wonder both of these treasures needed Netherworld Heavy Ironwood to seal them.

Lin Shiming left both treasures untouched, storing them together in a storage ring and placing them within his Cave Heaven, intending to deal with them at a later time.

After organizing his gains, Lin Shiming began meditating and cultivating.

Thanks to his recent epiphany, his mental state had made a breakthrough, removing his bottleneck. Given sufficient time, he could advance to the Golden Core Late Stage.

By then, he would begin preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Apart from these two treasures, Lin Shiming retrieved several items he had obtained from the Qingyun Fox Clan.

The first item was a Minor Divine Ability Fruit tree, as a cultivator could only consume one fruit in a lifetime.

Lin Shiming planned to give this Minor Divine Ability Fruit to his father.

Although his father's talent wasn't great, with Third Spirit Root and currently over two hundred fifty years old at the early stage of Purple Mansion.

Coupled with the Thousand-Star Fruit and Fuling Fiery Mulberry Fruit he would provide, achieving an eight-hundred-year lifespan and following a steady cultivation route, breaking through to the Golden Core stage wouldn't be difficult.

Lin Shiming made his decision and directly planted the Minor Divine Ability Fruit tree within his Cave Heaven.
