Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

After all, the Lin Family did not lack Spirit Soil and Spirit Water now.

...

Another four years have passed!

At Heavenly Phenomenon Island, the Lin Family Restaurant was so popular that it was bursting at the seams, having long been overwhelmed with patrons.

All four floors of the Lin Family Restaurant were packed to the brim, and even on the first floor, there were no Qi Refining Cultivators to be seen—it was all Foundation Establishment Cultivators, a throng of them, easily over a hundred.

As for Qi Cultivators, they had all gone to the neighboring restaurant opened by the Ye Family.

And the topic of everyone's conversation was also the three major rankings.

The three major rankings had been going on for nine years, and today marked the update of the third round of rankings.

What was being updated were of course the Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation rankings; the Purple Mansion ranking remained unchanged, for there were less than ten Purple Mansion Cultivators in the entirety of Heavenly Phenomenon Island.

Besides Jiuxiao True Person remaining steadfast at the top with his Purple Mansion Late Stage cultivation level, followed by Hermit Liu An with a Purple Mansion Middle Stage cultivation level securing second place, the rest were all Early Stage Purple Mansion Cultivators.

It's important to note that all twelve subsidiary islands under Xu Ri Island had launched their rankings, and Heavenly Phenomenon Island was not the most peripheral, so initially the competition among Purple Mansion Cultivators was not too fierce.

However, with the increasing number of Purple Mansion Great Demons, it was inevitable that the number of Purple Mansion Cultivators would also grow.

Moreover, as soon as the Purple Mansion rankings were updated, there was a good chance that both Jiuxiao Scatter Man of the Lin Family and Lin Shijie would fall out of the rankings.

At this moment, the topic most discussed in the Lin Family Restaurant was naturally the Foundation Establishment Heroes Ranking.

As the large Spirit Screen, which had previously been used for auctions, began to glow, followed by the emergence of names one after another, it immediately sent the crowd of Cultivators into an uproar.

"As expected, the first place on the Foundation Establishment Ranking is still Lin Shiming from the Lin Family, the genius of Corpse Refining. It is said that he alone can command five peak Corpse Refiners, and when facing those third-rank peak Demonic Beasts, he kills each one with certainty!"

"Not just Shiming alone, look, out of the ten names on the Foundation Establishment Ranking, five are from the Lin Family. Of the remaining five, three are Loose Cultivators, with one from the Ye Family and one from the Zhao Family!"

"It's actually seven, as one among those three Loose Cultivators is about to marry into the Lin Family, and another was originally a Cultivator who had married into the Lin Family!"

People kept talking, and their yearning for the Lin Family was self-evident.

The Lin Family's actions over the years had captured the hearts of many Loose Cultivators. After all, Loose Cultivators could cultivate on the Fourth Rank Spiritual Vein on Zi Yu Mountain and were entrusted with heavy responsibilities on Heavenly Phenomenon Island.

...

The crowd looked at the rankings and engaged in lively discussions.

The once aloof Foundation Establishment Cultivators had now all become subjects of gossip.

In a room on the second floor, several Cultivators from the Lin Family were also present.

When Lin Shiming saw the updated ranking, he simply nodded slightly, showing no sign of delight.

After all, to him, with five Heavenly Armored Corpses under his command and no Purple Mansion Great Demons to contend with, no third-rank Demonic Beast was his match.

He also possessed numerous treasures, including the Spirit Controlling Seal, through which he commanded a late-stage third-rank Sea Cloud Bird and a late-stage third-rank Green Shell Crab.

There were also not a few late-stage third-rank Corpse Refiners.

Although the Lin Family wasn't as powerful as the Corpse Refining Sect, the Sect wouldn't have provided as many resources for Shiming to utilize. Moreover, this was the time for his Five Elements Heavenly Corpse Decree to be put to use.

On the other hand, Lin Shilei felt somewhat discouraged because on the ranking list, Lei Xuan, with his late-stage lightning-based Foundation Establishment cultivation, was ranked second while Shilei with his peak middle-stage Foundation Establishment was ranked eighth.

They were both of an unusual Spirit Root, and although Shilei was a bit younger, in his eyes, he still needed to work much harder!

On the list, Lin Shiyi was ranked third, and Lin Houwei, who had just made a breakthrough to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, was ranked sixth.

Lin Houyuan, at the peak of late-stage Foundation Establishment was ranked ninth.

However, everyone was aware that there was still some inflation in the rankings. For instance, the Family Heads from both the Ye and Zhao Families could rank in the top ten, maybe even higher, if only they had made a move.

Even if they had secretly killed late-stage third-rank Demonic Beasts, they would have left only the Demonic Beast materials without leaving any recorded proof.

Aside from the Foundation Establishment Hermit Cultivators who truly wanted the rewards, none of the larger affiliated clans had made much effort.

After all, the Lin Family was the highest authority on Heavenly Phenomenon Island.

If the Lin Family's members weren't on the list, only then would the small powers on the island genuinely feel threatened.

"Fourth Brother, you must be preparing to make a breakthrough to Purple Mansion, aren't you?" Lin Shiyi couldn't help but express his envy.

It's well-known that Shiming was of the Four Spirit Roots, and his rapid progress in cultivation was not only due to Corpse Refining but also due to his hard work.

"I'm still stuck at the bottleneck of the late stage Foundation Establishment and can't progress to the peak. I want to try hunting down a Purple Mansion Great Demon!!" Shiming paused for a moment, then suddenly declared.

And with that declaration, he indeed made a startling announcement!
