Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

And the one standing against them was none other than Lin Houyuan.

"Of course, we have cultivators at the later stage of Foundation Establishment, and the division of territory for the market has been witnessed by the deacons of Qingxuan Sect and with the permission of Yunling Hermit!"

"Even so, the boundaries must be redrawn. Why should you occupy the best location?"

"On what basis? Are you not from a Foundation Establishment family of Yunzhou? Have you received recognition from the Qingxuan Sect?"

The spiritual pressure of Lin Shiming, being at the later stage of Foundation Establishment, was suddenly released fiercely.

The surging spiritual pressure pressed down several cultivators in Taoist robes, including the leading Foundation Establishment cultivator whose face turned remarkably red and whose legs shook with overwhelming humiliation.

The words of Lin Shiming not only struck the hearts of the Zhao Family cultivators but also resonated with many onlooking cultivators gathered there.

Among these onlookers were quite a few cultivators acting as informants for the five major families.

They couldn’t help but ponder over the meaning behind Lin Shiming’s words!

In particular, several informants from the Zhao Family were utterly dumbfounded.

Just then, a fiery red streak of Dao light flew across the sky.

"Shiming has seen Hermit Tai’an, Congratulations on the great achievement of your divine skills!" Lin Shiming hurriedly waved his hand in greeting, and the person who arrived was none other than Xie An, unseen for over twenty years.

Apart from Lin Shiming, all members of the Lin Family then started to offer their greetings and congratulations.

For a time, those loose cultivators naturally did not want to offend a hermit, and they too offered their felicitations.

By contrast, those cultivators from the Zhao Family in Taoist robes did not make a move.

Of course, already sweating profusely and looking extraordinarily pale under the spiritual pressure of Lin Shiming, they found it difficult even to speak!

"The hermit has seen something laughable here. A few cultivators boldly demanding a share of Qingyun market just because they rely on their cultivation, I taught them a lesson!"

"All the families under Yunzhou bear the name Qingxuan!"

"How can they act so recklessly!" Lin Shiming rebuked angrily.

His eyes turned to Xie An, and at that moment, Xie An’s gaze also met Lin Shiming’s.

Xie An’s divine sense was probing Lin Shiming’s body in an extremely covert manner.

If it had been an ordinary cultivator at the later stage of Foundation Establishment, they might not have noticed, but Lin Shiming’s divine soul was considerably stronger than Xie An’s.

Xie An’s subtle move was naturally spotted by him but was bound to fail.

For at this moment, he appeared merely as a cultivator who had just entered the later stage of Foundation Establishment.

After exchanging glances for a moment, Xie An then looked towards the Zhao Family cultivators:

"Are you questioning the rules of the Qingxuan Sect?"

"Back to the hermit, we dare not!"

The cultivators from the Zhao Family immediately begged for mercy.

As Lin Shiming’s spiritual pressure increased, a loud boom followed, and the several of them fell flat on the ground, unable to move at all.

"Uncle Thirty, you’ll handle the rest. Have the Zhao Family come to redeem them!" Lin Shiming waved his hand, took out the Corpse-Binding Belt, tied up the cultivators, and then escorted Xie An into the third floor of the Lin Tavern.

"Please, this way, Hermit!" Lin Shiming said with an ingratiating smile, gesturing politely.

Soon the three of them arrived on the third floor of the tavern.

The spiritual tea was served, and its refreshing aroma instantly filled the room.

"Just keep calling me ’Senior Brother’; however, I’m curious about your methods of concealment!" said Xie An with a light chuckle, his face showing no displeasure at Lin Shiming having squared him earlier but rather scrutinizing Lin Shiming’s physique.

At this moment, Lin Shiming immediately became extremely vigilant.

"Senior Brother jests, how dare Shiming hide anything in front of the hermit?"

"Rest assured, I promised you, I would assist the Lin Family twice, and I will do so twice!"

"You needn’t guard against me!"

Xie An shook his head, still with a look of certainty, then he took out a purple jade bracelet, causing Lin Shiming to feel shocked once more!

This bracelet was that of Lady Purple.

During the venture in the small world, both Xiao Chen and the cultivators from the Wan Family had perished; the only one who left with a Taiqing Purple Jade Fruit was Lady Purple.

With the bracelet appearing in Xie An’s hand, the Taiqing Purple Jade Fruit was undoubtedly with him as well.

"Lady Purple is dead, and no one knows that you’ve obtained a Taiqing Purple Jade Fruit!"

"This is part of my promise to protect the Lin Family!" Xie An spoke again, and Lin Shiming did not retort or was unable to retort, for if Xie An knew of the Taiqing Purple Jade Fruit, it meant he had acquired the memories of someone from Purple Mansion, or he had heard it from Lady Purple herself. @@novelbin@@

"Moreover, don’t you want to know the stance of the Qingxuan Sect?"

"I can also tell you, those who have stepped forward are nothing but jumping clowns!"

"What awaits them is only settlement! Even their backing sects!" Xie An said with disdain.

He then picked up the spiritual tea and drank it in one gulp.

Lin Shiming watched Xie An, still somewhat confused at the moment.

If Xie An wanted to repay a favor, he didn’t need to keep seeking him out, protecting the Lin Family would have been enough.

Moreover, he was quite cooperative with Lin Shiming’s probing.

"Shiming, I won’t beat around the bush, I need that Flaming Sword, and I need you to find it, even if it means exchanging it for the Taiqing Purple Jade Fruit!" Xie An took out a Purple Jade Fruit from his hand.

Lin Shiming was surprised, he hadn’t expected that the reason Xie An had been persistently looking for him was the Flame Sun Sword.

At that moment, he took out a Taiqing Purple Jade Fruit as well.

Intense purple light filled the entire Fourth Rank spirit box!

"Additionally, my master is likely to achieve enlightenment!" Xie An spoke again.

Enlightenment naturally meant forming the Solidifying Pill and reaching the level of a Golden Core True Person!

It also meant that a third Golden Core True Person would soon emerge from the Heavenly Sword Peak.

"Brother, although I’d like to help you, such a Soul Summoning Sword like the Flame Yang is simply beyond my ability to find!" Lin Shiming shook his head and refused, not to mention the fact that he couldn’t find it, even if he could, he would not seek it!

Even if the Zi Xuan Hermit were here, his answer would be the same!

"The technique to create a spiritual avatar outside one’s body, I can give that to you as well!" Xie An took out a jade slip.

"Just the information will do!"

Lin Shiming was somewhat tempted at this moment. By providing information, he could obtain the Taiqing Purple Jade Fruit and the technique for creating a spiritual avatar, which was a huge deal.

Only he didn’t know the whereabouts of the Flaming Sword; indeed, he once thought of deceiving it away, to enshrine it with the Lin Family, and at a critical moment, it could unleash the power of a Golden Core!

"This is a transmission token; if you have information, come find me anytime!" Xie An said after listening, there was a moment of silence before he stood up and left a transmission token, then departed directly.

Lin Shiming also immediately saw him off and gave Xie An two-tenths of the income from the market shops of recent years!

After seeing off Xie An, Lin Shiming returned to his room, still somewhat puzzled as to why Xie An was seeking the Flame Sun Sword.

In the end, having no leads, he could only let it go.

But in his heart, he also learned another piece of information: the Zi Xuan Hermit must have solidified his Golden Core.

This meant that the method to forge the Soul Summoning Sword into a pill was feasible!

With four Soul Summoning Swords, the Qingxuan Sect could, barring accidents, see the emergence of four Golden Core True Persons.

At this moment, Lin Shiming suddenly understood why Xie An referred to those cultivators as nothing more than jumping clowns.

Four Golden Core sword cultivators, paired with Soul Summoning Swords, even if they were new to Golden Core, their combat strength was absolutely not weak.

That would mean the Qingxuan Sect would have eight Golden Cores!

At this thought, Lin Shiming broke into a cold sweat. He had previously considered playing both sides, but now it seemed the Qingxuan Sect was more reliable.

He couldn’t help but doubt Xie An’s motives.

Was it also for the purpose of solidifying a Golden Core in the Purple Mansion?

Lin Shiming shook his head; with Flame Yang’s enhancement, Xie An couldn’t withstand even a moment!

He wouldn’t be able to obtain the secret technique for using the Soul Summoning Sword to solidify a pill in the Purple Mansion!

On the contrary, it seemed like the Qingxuan Sect was searching for the Flame Sun Sword!

Did they offer a great reward or maybe a threat?

While hesitating, Lin Shiming took out the Taiyi Sword Grass Seeds, thinking that to find the Flame Sun Sword, perhaps the Taiyi Sword Grass Seed could be a lead.

And the system notification suddenly rang out:

"Let the Taiyi Sword Grass take root, and water it with Sword Intent, it can attract the Flame Sun Sword!"

As soon as the system notification appeared, Lin Shiming was utterly convinced; indeed, the Taiyi Sword Grass Seeds could work.

But now, of course, he would not rush to cultivate the Taiyi Sword Grass Seeds!

Having learned Xie An’s intentions and clarified the situation in Yunzhou, what lay ahead was facing the attack from the Heavenly Demon Sect!

This time, he only hoped that the Heavenly Demon Sect would send just one Purple Mansion, otherwise even if he could fend them off, he might expose himself.

And before that, the refining of the Soul-Suppressing Pagoda must also be moved up the schedule.

He called over Lin Houyuan, and also learned that Yunling Hermit had once again gone to the Feng City in Hong Maple Ridge.

On the surface, it was to protect Feng City, but in reality, it was for a transaction.
