Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

"The alchemy isn't going smoothly!" Lin Shitao shook her head, then took a sip of dull tea.

Evidently, although she had broken through to the Golden Core Early Stage, the advancement in alchemy was not easy.

She had long been a Fifth Rank Inferior Grade Alchemist, but after the breakthrough, she had only reached the rank of Fifth Rank Intermediate Grade Alchemist.

As for comprehending the Fifth Rank Supreme Grade Nascent Transformation Pill, it was even more challenging.

Even the other pill formulas from the Lin Family's alchemy heritage were not particularly well mastered by her.

"As long as there is progress, it is good." Lin Shiming nodded.

He understood Lin Shitao's modesty, and moreover, it wasn't necessary for Lin Shitao to truly be able to refine a Fifth Rank Superior Grade Spirit Pill or even a Nascent Transformation Pill now.

The aim was instead to have her accumulate enough foundational knowledge in alchemy and then use his spirit light deducing process to enhance Lin Shitao's alchemy skills.

If once doesn't work, then twice.

If twice doesn't work then thrice, in any case, the spirit light deduction is once every ten years.

The reason for not using it now was simply because Lin Shitao hadn't amassed enough foundational accumulation since breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

"Besides, use the family's Spiritual Medicine generously; the Lin Family now lacks not Spiritual Medicine but good alchemists!" Lin Shiming remembered something and added.

Lin Shitao's character was still the same as before, worrying about waste.

But being the family's first alchemist, she was definitely worth it.

The first alchemists of those sects and other major forces all used vast amounts of Spiritual Medicine for deduction and training.

"Got it, Seventh Brother, I'm just a little worried about Zeying!" Lin Shitao couldn't help but speak.

In her eyes, letting Zeying go was merely to avoid calamity, and now that the trouble had passed, Lin Zeying seemed safer in the Southern Sea.

"Just send a message to the Eastern Domain, now that Shimo has returned, it can be done through Myriad Thousand Jade." Lin Shiming nodded in agreement.

He was also a bit worried, so he went to the room to check Lin Zeying's Jade Slip, and feeling that there was no significant issue with it, Lin Shiming was reassured.

Instead of inquiring further, since Lin Zeying had the Purple Mansion Phoenix Demon, protecting himself shouldn't be a problem.

After handling some family matters, Lin Shiming returned to the Cave Heaven again; the Flaming Sword had also broken through, and he planned to use the Spring of Spiritual Eyes, along with those Heavenly Zao Trees and Star Spirit Clams, to make a breakthrough in his physical body's Golden Core Late Stage.

Upon entering the Cave Heaven, he saw the Star Spirit Clam gnawing at the spiritual leaves of the Heavenly Zao Tree.

These leaves were extremely colorful, and every time it consumed one, the Star Spirit Clam began to emanate a rich starlight, generating a vast Moonlight of Stars.

Seeing this, Lin Shiming was naturally quite satisfied.

He now only needed to absorb the Moonlight of Stars.

At this moment, the system prompt sounded.

[Catalyze the mutated Heavenly Zao Tree, and you shall obtain the Star-Patterned Heavenly Zao Fruit.]

Lin Shiming was momentarily stunned, but then began to act accordingly.

Though he currently needed to catalyze the Nascent Transformation Fruit, he still had some time before breaking through to the Late Nascent Soul Stage.

There was no rush for this one time of the Revival Wind.

With the activation of the Minor Divine Ability, he began to catalyze the oldest Heavenly Zao Tree.

The Heavenly Zao Tree, approximately four thousand years old, with the catalyzation of the Revival Wind, began to blossom and bear fruit instantaneously.

In the sky, many stars appeared, as if the maturity of this Heavenly Zao Tree could absorb the star force in the sky.

Upon closer thought, if the Heavenly Zao Tree couldn't absorb star force, it wouldn't be useful for the Star Spirit Clam and couldn't be transformed into Moonlight of Stars.

As catalyzation continued, the tree began to bear Heavenly Zao Fruits.

Not just one or two, but it grew about twenty date-sized Heavenly Zao Fruits.

The surface of these Heavenly Zao Fruits was covered with a layer of star-patterns, resembling a delicate star chart, appearing profoundly deep.

Lin Shiming plucked one, tossing it to the Star Spirit Clam. Though there was already a system prompt, to be cautious, he let the Star Spirit Clam consume it.

After all, the clam not only tested the fruit but also converted it into Moonlight of Stars, eventually feeding it back to him.

With the Star Spirit Clam and the twenty-or-so Fifth Rank Heavenly Zao Fruits,

Lin Shiming's confidence surged, and he began meditating on the spot, cultivating the Starlight Tempering Body Technique.

Now, every time the Starlight Tempering Body Technique was circulated, star charts manifested on his body, revealing countless Starlight Cave Heavens.

These Cave Heavens stored his star force, capable of forming the Starlight Ancient Spear or the Starlight Battle Robe.

Of course, for Lin Shiming, the breakthrough in the strength of his physical body was most important.

If his body cultivation reached the Golden Core Late Stage, regular Fifth Rank Intermediate Grade Magical Treasures would not be able to harm him, and he would be more confident in breaking through to Nascent Soul.

As usual, Lin Shiming first absorbed the Moonlight of Stars. The accumulated Moonlight during this time allowed his star force to grow tremendously once more.

One Cave Heaven after another was filled.

And after filling them, he started consuming the Heavenly Zao Fruits.

Even though he knew their efficacy wouldn't be lacking, truly tasting one let him feel the uniqueness of the Heavenly Zao Fruit.

Countless star forces surged into his mouth, merging into his Cave Heavens.

After a while, Lin Shiming opened his eyes, filled with joy - just one Heavenly Zao Fruit had nearly filled half of a physical body's Cave Heaven,

This meant that over twenty Heavenly Zao Fruits were enough to fill more than ten body Cave Heavens.

With this discovery, Lin Shiming didn't pause at all and once again immersed himself in arduous cultivation.

...

Cultivation knows no passage of time, and five more years passed.

With a violent rumbling sound, the entire Cave Heaven saw the star charts hanging upside down.

The star river stretched in two strands, innumerable stars revealed themselves.

Underneath the myriad of stars, a Star Spirit Clam also shone brilliantly with a star chart, but it was only a midpoint, while Lin Shiming, above the pavilion, was currently enveloped in starlight to the extreme, with most of the physical body's Cave Heavens already filled.
