Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

He had tried many methods before, but had only sought answers from within the Lin Family Clan’s treasury, never considering the Buddhist Sect.

After all, there were no cultivators from the Buddha Sect in the Eastern Domain.

Even without system prompts, Lin Shiming wouldn’t have thought of this.

"Of course it’s true!"

"Second uncle, let’s not refine the Transmission Formation for now. Instead, along with Shiming and Uncle Thirty-five, let’s study the Five Elements Illusion Heart Jade to see if we can refine an Illusionary Heart Pavilion!"

Lin Shiming continued to suggest.

Refining a Transmission Formation was difficult and labor-intensive, but for the semi-finished Five Elements Illusion Heart Jade, it wasn’t so complicated. All that was needed was to etch the controlling array onto it to initiate and cease the illusion array!

This could be used to train cultivators’ Divine Souls, and even those about to break through Foundation Establishment or Purple Mansion stages could come in advance for training.

Once the Illusionary Heart Pavilion was established, Lin Houshou could also enter to train.

Of course, the most important thing was to find the Spirit Body Cultivator of the Lin Family!

After chatting with Lin Houshou for a while, the latter also finally relaxed.

The heroic spirit between his brows burst forth again, and he even looked forward with anticipation to becoming the first Fourth Rank Array Master of the clan.

He had never forgotten Lin Yushui’s expectations of him!

After delaying some time on Fangmu Island, they set out again, leaving Lin Xianzhi to guard Fangmu Island.

Fangmu Island was not initially so important, but with the discovery of a Profound Grade Secret Realm, Lin Family had to raise Fangmu Island’s significance.

And since Lin Xianzhi missed the Qinglian Pool, the younger generation like Lin Shiming couldn’t say much.

After spending most of the day, they returned to Shuangmu Island.

However, as soon as they arrived at Shuangmu Island, Lin Shiming noticed several cultivators adorned in splendid silk brocades, lingering outside the island.

"Shiming, those are people from the Ye Family of Heavenly Phenomenon Island!" Lin Houyuan was the first to step forward.

"Father, please go ahead and negotiate on our behalf!" said Lin Shiming.

The alliance through marriage with the Ye Family certainly aimed to secure a firm foothold among the three prominent Foundation Establishment forces on Heavenly Phenomenon Island. If the Ye Family understood the strength of the Lin Family, they might become hesitant once again.

After all, the emergence of the Lin Family was a recently rising force.

The emergence of a Foundation Establishment family was not frightening, what was truly terrifying was the rise of a Purple Mansion family.

Lin Houyuan, accompanied by Lin Shiyi, headed towards the brocade-clad cultivators.

Meanwhile, Lin Shiming and others entered Shuangmu Island from another direction.

However, his Divine Sense remained focused on the group of brocade-clad cultivators.

"Family Head Lin!" The leading cultivator had a square face, a slightly slender build, and a cultivation level at Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

He was also the current Great Elder of the Ye Family, Ye Changxing.

That a family’s Great Elder was only at Foundation Establishment Middle Stage was telling of the dire straits the Ye Family found itself in.

"Fellow Daoist Ye!" Lin Houyuan also bowed his hands in greeting.

"I’m truly sorry, but one of our subsidiary islands has suffered from beast troubles. The cultivators left to guard our family have no one at Foundation Establishment level!"

Lin Houyuan, saying so, invited the visitors into the guestrooms on the island.

Once everyone was seated, Lin Houyuan brought out third-rank intermediate-grade Cuilan tea.

The subtle fragrance of tea wafted through the air, mingling with wisps of spiritual mist, swiftly filling the room.

Ye Changxing, who originally wanted to cut to chase, couldn’t help but feel his mouth dry and his thirst unquenched, the lingering fragrance of the orchid in his nose was irresistible!

"Fellow Daoist Ye, please try our Lin Family’s Cuilan tea, of which we only produce two taels each year!"

"Excellent tea!" Ye Changxing bowed his thanks, then took the tea with both hands. After sipping it, his expression was particularly astonished.

The Southern Sea Cultivation World, unlike Yunzhou with its abundant mountains, basins, and production of Spiritual Tea, in the Southern Sea Cultivation World, apart from the large families and powers that control secret realms,

it was extremely difficult for smaller families and Loose Cultivators to enjoy fine Spiritual Tea.

"Could this be the treasured Spiritual Tea from the Lin Family’s restaurant?" Naturally, Ye Changxing didn’t believe that the Lin Family only had two taels of this tea each year, as rare items were more expensive the rarer they were.

His own Ye Family often used such tactics to lower prices.

"Exactly!" Lin Houyuan also nodded.

Establishing taverns, Alchemy Pavilions, and Artifact Refining Pavilions had always been the Lin Family’s plan, requiring prime locations. These matters could not be concealed and were in fact part of the transaction between the two families!

The Lin Family had every right to appear on Heavenly Phenomenon Island, while the Ye Family was securing their identity among the three major Foundation Establishment powers on the island, both taking what they needed.

On the contrary, the intermarriage was just that Lin Shiyi and the female cultivator from the Ye Family had happened to be of one mind and spirit, adding another layer to the partnership.

After drinking the Spiritual Tea, Ye Changxing’s restless heart had calmed, and he was in no hurry to reveal his intentions, continuing to chat with Lin Houyong about tea ceremonies and then moving on to the actualities of Coral Island.

Ye Changxing not stating his intentions meant Lin Houyuan was even less likely to bring it up on his own.

Having been the Family Head for the Lin Family for decades, even when Lin Shiming was in charge, Lin Houyuan managed the family affairs for a great deal of time.

The Ye Family now seemed to think that, having acquired the Spiritual Tea, the Lin Family was eager to open taverns and pavilions, aiming to seize the initiative.

Lin Houyuan naturally would not give them the chance.

Although they were only using the Ye Family to ascend in status, if they appeared too submissive, the Ye Family would suspect the Lin Family might have ulterior motives.

After all, the Lin Family’s formations and the many Foundation Establishment cultivators signified that their strength was not weak.

If they did not make a lion’s claim, it might give the other party grounds for second thoughts!

Lin Houyuan didn’t actively ask about the intentions, but Ye Changxing was getting a bit impatient.

He hadn’t been waiting outside Shuangmu Island for so long just to come and drink Spiritual Tea.

"Family Head Lin, frankly speaking, my daughter has many pursuers on Heavenly Phenomenon Island, and this visit is to finalize the marriage of the two lovebirds sooner!" Ye Changxing, seeing Lin Houyuan not broaching the subject, finally made his intentions clear.

He glanced at Lin Houyuan and then fixed his eyes on Lin Shiyi, filled with satisfaction.

Although Lin Shiyi was simple and honest, his cultivation level was genuinely in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and being a Body Cultivator, he also possessed a strong murderous aura, not one of those cultivators who only focused on austere cultivation.

For the current Ye Family, what they needed was someone with formidable fighting prowess.

"Elder Ye, you speak too modestly; a wedding is no trifling matter. It’s already set for six months from now, and it would be best to stick to that date. With Yu Jiao and Shiyi’s relationship, they naturally needn’t worry!" Lin Houyuan said with a slight smile.

Ye Changxing’s eagerness surely stemmed from immense pressure from the other two important families on Heavenly Phenomenon Island.

"Family Head Lin doesn’t need to decide so quickly. The Ye Family comes with sincerity this time, offering as a dowry four core marketplace shops on the island, ten regular shops, and in light of our three hundred years of friendship with the Lin Family, the Ye Family has prepared three Foundation Establishment Pills as part of the dowry!" Ye Changxing spoke again.

He placed significant emphasis on the three hundred years of friendship.

Ye Changxing had naturally investigated the Lin Family. For the Lin Family to establish themselves on Heavenly Phenomenon Island, what mattered most was their standing, and the Ye Family was a millennium-old family of the island, once even the actual controllers of the island.

With their endorsement, the Lin Family could rightfully claim they had been developing in seclusion on Shuangmu Island for three hundred years.

"The Ye Family is indeed generous, and the Lin Family naturally has no reason to decline. I shall begin preparing the betrothal gifts right now, but I hope Elder Ye can give us a little more time!"

Ye Changxing’s expression turned slightly grim, as he could clearly detect Lin Houyuan’s attempt to raise the stakes.

Even if it was an opportunistic increase, Ye Changxing had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

"Family Head Lin, as one of our own, your esteemed nephew Shiyi is invited to participate in the great competition on Heavenly Phenomenon Island next month, at which time the profit shares of the Heavenly Phenomenon Auction will be redistributed!"

"I can even offer half of that as part of the dowry!" Ye Changxing spoke again.

The matter of the great competition was something the Lin Family could easily find out about if they investigated.

So, seeing that he couldn’t keep it secret, Ye Changxing bluntly stopped hiding it.

"Brother Dao takes this too seriously. The betrothal gifts from the Lin Family can be gathered within two or three days!" Lin Houyuan spoke again.

The auction was a major source of revenue for Heavenly Phenomenon Island besides the Transmission Formation and the marketplace shops, and Ye Family’s willingness to offer this touched upon their bottom line. Now was certainly not the time to hesitate.

He then looked toward Lin Shiyi, inquiring about his wishes.

Lin Shiyi and Ye Yujiao were already in love, so naturally, he wouldn’t refuse.

And so, the wedding was scheduled to take place on Heavenly Phenomenon Island in ten days!

After the discussion, Ye Changxing took out all the deeds for the shops. Since the Lin Family was planning to open a tavern, hosting the wedding at their own venue was an excellent opportunity to boost their reputation.

As for the possibility of someone causing trouble, that wasn’t something the Ye Family needed to worry about.

The Lin Family cared even less about that!

Should someone cause trouble, it would fit the Lin Family’s wishes even better, as in any place, it was important to demonstrate one’s strength.
