Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

460  Chapter 330: Purple Mansion Secret Technique, Black Mountain Hermit (Two in One for Monthly Tickets)

```

By the Qinglian Pool, the tranquil spirit lotuses bloomed, bringing waves of spiritual fragrance.

The spiritual energy emitted from the third rank supreme grade spirit vein also made Lin Shiming pause involuntarily.

The family's spirit vein had improved again.

He raised his head, and in the distance, the third rank Qinglian Lake, where Red Spirit Fish occasionally leapt out of the water, including some second rank superior grade ones.

Just as he was contemplating the changes within the family, Lin Xianzhi spoke.

"You can first take a look at everyone's cultivation level!"

Upon hearing this, both Lin Shiming and Lin Shiyi tensed up inside.

Lin Shijie loosened the seal controlling Lin Shiming's spirit imprint even further. When Shiming spread out his divine sense, the next moment, his expression became one of immense shock.

Because the elders he could see in the family all turned out to be at the Foundation Establishment stage, and there were even two of his peers, exuding rich thunder attribute spiritual power, which was the most suppressive to thunder spirit root cultivators like himself.

One should know that in his memory, Lin Houyuan had also broken through to Foundation Establishment, not to mention the dual spirit root Lin Shitao!

Over these years, the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in the family had surpassed fifteen! @@novelbin@@

Naturally, his gaze finally rested on Lin Shiming and Lin Xianzhi.

On them, he could not sense even a trace of spiritual power.

Naturally, he wouldn't think that these two were just ordinary mortals, which could only mean one thing: both of them had reached the Purple Mansion stage!

Lin Shiming felt as if a great bell had tolled in his heart, resounding long and loud, leaving him unable to regain his senses for a long time.

After more than fifty years, the family had already become more powerful than he could have imagined.

He finally understood why Lin Shiyi and the others had looked at him the way they did.

"Lin Shiming, having not returned to the family for over fifty years and sent no messages, do you admit your guilt!" Lin Xianzhi suddenly turned stern and spoke solemnly.

Lin Shiming and Lin Shiyi relaxed a bit, knowing that Lin Xianzhi had softened his heart. If he had truly decided on a death sentence, that would have been a crime of betraying the family!

Of course, this was also related to Lin Shiming repeatedly passing on messages and signals to the Lin family.

If it weren't for the information about the Heavenly Demon Sect's attack, the Lin family wouldn't have gathered so many cultivators.

Facing the Black Mountain Hermit alone, Shiming was not entirely confident that he could kill him with certainty.

"Seventh Great-Uncle, Shiming knows his guilt, but Shiming is already a disciple of the Corpse Refining Sect!" Lin Shiming bit his teeth, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were as resolute as ever.

Lin Shiming and Lin Shiyi were also taken aback!

The meaning behind Lin Shiming's words was clear: he still wished to leave the Lin family!

His stubborn character remained just as it had always been.

Lin Xianzhi's expression also changed dramatically, knowing that Lin Shiming was restless about staying in the family; naturally, they would not let him go and risk leaking information.

At that moment, everyone fell silent.

An unprecedented silence!

Lin Shiyi wanted to speak but held back, as he had no say here.

Whether to keep him or to kill him was naturally a decision only Lin Xianzhi could make!

And just then, the system notification for Lin Shiming resounded.

"Please be aware of the Black Mountain Token in Lin Shiming's storage bag, and prevent Lin Shiming from turning into a corpse. If you kill the Black Mountain Hermit, you will obtain a third rank supreme grade corpse refined with gold, wood, and fire attributes, as well as the secret technique to break through to the Purple Mansion!"

Lin Shiming's complexion changed, his gaze shifted toward Lin Shiming's flesh, and he noticed the faint traces of corpse spots.

If he had truly believed previously that Lin Shiming had received an inheritance, now it seemed he had merely become someone else's living corpse to be refined!

When fully turned into a corpse, he would probably become a creature without spirit intelligence!

Of course, the rewards hinted by the system also took him by surprise, not to mention the secret technique to break through to the Purple Mansion: just the corpse itself was enough to stir his interest.

He himself had gold, wood, and fire spirit roots, and if he were to match this with the newly acquired External Incarnation Technique, he could refine an incarnation that, combined with his own spiritual treasure, the Sword Storing Book, he was confident, even the Shen Ji True Person couldn't detect the slightest thing amiss.

The most important thing was, he could stay in the Qingxuan Sect again, plotting for the position in the Outer Sea, and seeking the spiritual medicine necessary for breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

As for the secret technique to break through to the Purple Mansion, it was clearly related to corpse refining, and although somewhat unorthodox, it represented a chance for the Lin family to enhance its foundation.

Lin Shiming made his move, snatching the storage bag from Lin Shiming's grasp. The Black Mountain Token inside the storage bag couldn't reveal anything; however, if Lin Shiming took out the token, it would likely spread the Lin family's information throughout the Corpse Refining Sect of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Before that could happen, he would never allow such an uncontrollable factor to emerge.

"Brother, did you know your cultivation technique would turn you into a corpse?" After grabbing the storage bag, and checking Lin Shiming thoroughly with his divine sense, Lin Shiming finally spoke.

This statement shocked everyone, and they too looked at Lin Shiming's arms, noticing for the first time the subtly spreading corpse spots.

To refine oneself into a corpse was a horrific thought, stirring terror and astonishment.

"I knew, but only this way can I break through to Purple Mansion!" Lin Shiming seemed unsurprised but after a pause, he slowly spoke again.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, his appearance was wretched, but at this moment, his eyes shone brightly!

"I am a quadruple spirit root cultivator, and breaking through Foundation Establishment in this life has been exceedingly difficult!"

"And for the Purple Mansion, there is no hope at all!"

"But after becoming a corpse, there is as much as a thirty percent chance to break through to Purple Mansion!"

"This is my only chance to break through to Purple Mansion, and the only way that doesn't require Purple Mansion spiritual medicine!"

Lin Shiming declared.

This was his path and what he sought in life: Purple Mansion!

If the Lin family would support him, he would continue his pursuit!

If the family rules demanded punishment, he would repay the Lin family for his entire life, neither indebted nor owing!
