Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints-Chapter 399 - 311: The Mystery of the Carved Sword Stone and Wang Jiao’s Injury (A two-in-one chapter, thanks to Ning Jing Fang Neng Zhi Yuan for the reward)_2
And yet, that was not the end: one red Fire Sword after another sprang into existence across the volcano, as if a chain reaction had been set off.
Sword Birth Myriad Laws!
This was clearly the third layer of the Sword Intent Realm!
And all of this unfolded before Lin Shijie’s eyes.
Sword Birth Myriad Laws was solely for the purpose of forging swords, the scalding magma only to awaken them!
In that moment, Lin Shijie felt his mind being overturned a thousand times over!
But a resounding noise snapped him back to reality.
It was still a hammer striking down, as if a mortal were forging a sword, but he understood that this might be a higher level of sword forging, Sword Intent forging the sword.
Such a sword could truly be called a peerless treasure sword, could it not?
Lin Shijie mused, then turned his head, finding the sword forging too complex; he was not an Artifact Refiner, nor would he forget his purpose.
His gaze fell upon the Fire Swords transformed from Sword Qi, one among the tens of thousands.
To know one is to glimpse the whole!
He finally understood why Lin Shiming’s Sword Intent had advanced so swiftly to this stage; this was inheritance, the Lin Family also had its Sword Dao inheritance.
Right now, his goal was to seize the opportunity, achieve mastery of Sword Intent, and then comprehend the first realm of the Sword Dao!
...
Sunrise, sunset, the seabirds flew home.
Lin Shiming held up three fingers; this was the third day since Lin Shijie had fallen into deep contemplation.
Yet there was no sign of Lin Shijie awakening.
"Father, Second Uncle, Thirteenth Uncle, I will stand guard here!" Lin Shiming spoke up at that moment.
Lin Houyuan and Lin Houwei nodded in acknowledgement.
"Shiming, you’ve recently come out of seclusion yourself; I will keep watch here!" Lin Houshou spoke up.
"I am a Body Cultivator now, I can use this opportunity to temper my body. Besides, I need to study the Formation controlling this Sword Intent. If possible, a Sword Pavilion can be built here!"
"Outside the Sword Pavilion will be the Sword Ladder, which as the Lin Family’s most vital foundation, can provide a place for those with talent in the Sword Dao to cultivate!"
Lin Houshou suggested.
His suggestion immediately made Lin Shiming nod in agreement.
His original idea was exactly this, for Sword Cultivators are naturally formidable in the Cultivation World.
Why does the Qingxuan Sect dominate over the Spirit Beast Sect and Spirit Talisman Sect in the Zhao Kingdom? It’s because of two Golden Core Sword Cultivators, along with Shen Ji True Person of vast divine skills.
That’s the real reason behind Qingxuan Sect’s strength; even if numerous Demon Kings from the Qingyun Mountain ranges were to emerge from seclusion, they would still show respect to Shen Ji True Person.
If the Qingxuan Sect has Heavenly Sword Peak, he naturally wished for the Lin Family to have its own Sword Pavilion.
The nine steps on the Carved Sword Stone could possibly represent nine types of Sword Intent, which for the once Taibai Sword Palace, was definitely plausible.
If the Lin Family could cultivate nine such Sword Cultivators, then the Lin Family’s strength could perhaps carry forward the glory of the Taibai Sword Palace.
As the Grass Sword had said, without attaining the Myriad Swords Divine Mountain, Taibai Sword Palace was only a Third Rank force!
Lin Shiming agreed with a nod, and naturally, Lin Houyuan and Lin Houwei also nodded in agreement.

Neither of them being Sword Cultivators or Body Cultivators, they wouldn’t dare approach within a hundred meters of the Sword Ladder without activating their Spirit Shield or employing a Magic Artifact.
Their understanding of the sword was limited to flying swords capable of slaying enemies from a thousand miles away!
And because swords are the easiest to refine and the most common Magic Artifacts!
Lin Shiming went with Lin Houyuan to the Council Hall on Shuangmu Island, belonging to the Lin Family.
The trio breathed a sigh of relief now that Lin Shiming had emerged from seclusion.
You must know that Lin Xianzhi was still in the midst of his breakthrough to the Purple Mansion stage.
"Father, how are things at Fangmu Mountain?" Lin Shiming sat by the Eight Immortals table, took out a Jade Pot, and brought out some Third Rank Mingxin Tea to start brewing.
Lin Houyuan seemed quite pleased, while Lin Houwei took out his own flask.
"Currently, everything is normal at Fangmu Mountain. Lin Shitao is also in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. Your Eleventh Uncle is in charge of Alchemy at Fangmu Mountain. In addition, True Person Xie has also successfully broken through to the Purple Mansion stage and has even sent someone to look for you!"
"Besides that, a number of powerful Cultivator Families have emerged in Yunzhou!"
"In the Qingyun Marketplace, Foundation Establishment Cultivators, who are usually rare to see, are becoming increasingly frequent, and many of them are Loose Cultivators!"
...
Lin Houyuan listed these concerns one by one. By the end, he was frowning in confusion.
Even though the Zhang Family had revamped the entire Yunzhou, seemingly strengthening it considerably, and large quantities of Fire Cloud Stone and Spirit Stone veins were added to the income,
the world beneath the surface had become more oppressive than before. Sometimes, important Lin Family caravans even needed Lin Houyong, the Family Head, to accompany them.
Fortunately, Lin Houyong, the Family Head, enjoyed this and although his performance could not be said to be better than Lin Shiming’s, it met expectations. The family was slowly improving.
"Father, have you shared the profits from the family’s stores with Hermit Taian?" Lin Shiming asked.
Hermit Taian was an alias that Xie An gave himself.
"I’ve shared them, but he wants to see you!"
"Do not meet him, continue with the closed-door cultivation!" Lin Shiming shook his head. Before coming to Shuangmu Island, he was already in his second round of secluded cultivation and had also purchased a large number of Spirit Pills.
If he were to exit seclusion so quickly in two years’ time, it would be child’s play.
With Xie An’s breakthrough, the Lin Family’s interests in Yunzhou would definitely remain steadfast.
What he needed to do now was develop Shuangmu Island as much as possible, protect his Seventh Uncle Ancestor in breaking through to the Purple Mansion, and then try to break through to the Purple Mansion himself.
He didn’t want to wade into the muddy waters of Yunzhou or Qingxuan Sect’s!
Having carefully distanced the Lin Family from these troubles, he would not easily get involved again!
"By the way, Thirteenth Uncle, how is the Third Rank Turtle Spirit Coconut?" Lin Shiming asked.
The Turtle Spirit Coconut was involved in trading treasures with the Qingyun Fox Clan. In his Cave Heaven World, he still had a piece of the Flying Fox Order.
He locked it with Fourth Rank Spirit Jade and the Primordial Magnet Seal, rendering any signals or thoughts from the Qingyun Fox Clan ineffective.
The initiative to trade the treasure was entirely in his hands.
However, the prerequisite was that he had to reach the Purple Mansion; otherwise, he would not dare to trade with the demonic fox lady of Qingyun.
"Shiming, the Turtle Spirit Coconut recipe has been improved again, and the effects are great, but there are not many Third Rank Spirit Turtles around Shuangmu Island!" Lin Houwei said as he took a sip of Spiritual Wine, shaking his head.
Shuangmu Island of the Lin Family was closed off, with most cultivators in arduous cultivation and a few raising Profound Spirit Turtles and Sea Cloud Birds. Since Lin Xianzhi was in seclusion to break through to the Purple Mansion, the Lin Family also strictly prohibited cultivators from going out to sea.
The secret recipe for the Turtle Spirit Coconut, its two main ingredients being Third Rank Profound Spirit Turtles and Third Rank Water Spirit Coconuts.
"Look for them nearby. For the Spiritual Wine, the family will give full support!" Lin Shiming stated.
"Good, I was waiting for those words!" Lin Houwei smiled and nodded, then taking another swig from his gourd, drank heartily!
This Turtle Spirit Coconut was not only for trading but could also improve the rate of progeny among the family’s high-ranking cultivators, thereby increasing the rate of talented Spirit Roots among the Lin Jiaze generation.
After leaving the family’s main building, Lin Shiming visited Lin Yuqing, Lin Shilei, and Lin Houfei, leaving behind a few Third Rank Magic Artifacts before departing.
He went to the Spirit Coconut Grove of the Lin Family, where he saw the Red-haired Demon Monkey transformed into a tiny monkey, patrolling the grove. It roamed the edges of the Third Rank Spirit Coconut Grove as if counting something, inspecting diligently.
But seeing its eyes, Lin Shiming knew what the Red-haired was thinking—just as when it used to pick Third Rank Spirit Peaches in his Cave Heaven World, it sneakily consumed those that were unimportant and poorly grown, thinking Lin Shiming was unaware.
During the two years of his seclusion, to ensure sufficient combat power for Shuangmu Island, he hadn’t recalled the three beasts.
And the cultivators of the Lin Family certainly wouldn’t bother with his Spirit Beast.
Seeing Lin Shiming approach, the Red-haired leaped over, its red fur more fiery and lively, and the reddish Spirit Patterns on its surface clearer and more vivid.
Its red-furred palm kept pointing at one Spirit Coconut tree after another, then patted its chest as if to boast about its achievements, looking pretty proud of itself. Finally, it awkwardly sidled up to him, tapping his Storage Bag.
It made a pitiable sound, begging.
Lin Shiming took out several Third Rank Spirit Peaches and Beast Nurturing Pills, and had the Red-haired enter his Cave Heaven World.
Then he found the Golden Winged Mantis resting nearby.
As for Wang Jiao, it was on a beach where he found it.
Wang Jiao clearly wasn’t behaving—diving into the sea and leaving Shuangmu Island.
At the moment, Wang Jiao was covered in blood, badly wounded, and had lost many scales.
There were imprints left by other Spirit Beasts on its body, indicating that nearby waters had at least peak Third Rank marine demons; otherwise, ordinary Spirit Beasts would not be a match for Wang Jiao.
However, its eyes still radiated fierce defiance, emitting a dense, malicious aura.
"Stones, stones!" Wang Jiao’s thoughts came from within the Soul Binding Forbidden.
"Eat clams, eat clams!"
Lin Shiming, who possessed the Soul Binding Forbidden, naturally understood what Wang Jiao meant.
This also shocked him immensely; Wang Jiao’s message wasn’t trivial—it had found a vein of Superior Grade Spirit Stones.
Now, it wanted to consume Star Spirit Clams, in order to increase its strength and seize the stones!
