Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

Following that were the Second Rank, Third Rank.

By the time he reached the Third Rank, Lin Shiming started to feel the struggle.

Because the formations Lin Houshou was constructing weren't simply of the Third Rank, but rather a complex mix of the First, Second, and Third Ranks.

Their complexity was such that they were not far behind those of the Fourth Rank.

And as time passed, Lin Houshou also began to lay out Fourth Rank formations and formation flags.

His pace slowed down, after all, Lin Houshou's cultivation level was only at the later stages of Foundation Establishment.

He began to clutch a Superior Grade Spirit Stone, taking Spirit Pills that supplemented his True Yuan.

One formation flag after another was placed.

After a long time, a Fourth Rank formation was fully laid out, perfectly integrating with the previous formations.

Lin Houshou's hand was still taking formation flags, moving to establish new formations. By now, Lin Shiming could no longer see clearly and even began to feel threatened by the formations.

The Golden Wing and Red-haired came over to his side, accompanied by nine Spirit Ants.

Lin Shiming hurriedly gave orders to the Spirit Ants, because if they encountered someone else laying out formations, the ants were very likely to go up and devour the Spirit Light.

Days passed, and at this moment, the formation Lin Houshou laid out was already a Fourth Rank Intermediate Grade formation.

He was now using a Formation Artifact Manual, and his placement became even slower, taking steps one by one, his True Yuan depleted countless times, needing breaks to replenish it.

Boom!

Accompanied by a surge of Spirit Light, the first Fourth Rank Intermediate Grade formation was successfully established; it was the most complex one within that Flood Dragon Nest Compound Formation.

What was most important is that it had integrated many of the previous formations!

Formation within a formation, hundreds, thousands of formations!

Lin Shiming was at a loss for words to describe it.

At this moment, Lin Houshou's body was also absorbing Spiritual Energy incessantly.

In Lin Shiming's Cave Heaven, two Fourth Rank Spiritual Veins had already been released, followed by the addition of a Fourth Rank pinnacle Spiritual Vein.

The density of the Spiritual Energy was close to that of the Fifth Rank.

Countless Spiritual Energy moved towards Lin Houshou, visible in the air turning into liquid.

This was clearly on the verge of a breakthrough at the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment.

However, even while breaking through, Lin Houshou continued to study formation knowledge.

He kept on laying out formations, which made Lin Shiming anxious.

He worried that laying out formations might affect the breakthrough, and any delay in the breakthrough would be distressing.

Lin Shiming wanted to remind him verbally but was also worried about causing confusion at this critical time.

He could only wait anxiously, ready to enter with the Leaping Void Disk at the first sign of trouble.

However, just at that moment, Lin Houshou had finally completed his formation layout. All the formations were dispersed by one of his formation flags.

With a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, he began to concentrate on his breakthrough.

Lin Shiming breathed a sigh of relief.

Breaking through was not an overnight affair.

Lin Shiming then started practicing the Starlight Tempering Body Technique again.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Lin Shiming felt a violent fluctuation of Spiritual Energy and opened his eyes to see Lin Houshou finishing his practice.

Half of the light was like Buddha's glow, half like blood.

Looking at Lin Shiming, his face was full of joy.

"Shiming, I don't even know what realm my formation knowledge is in now?"

Lin Houshou was indeed puzzled.

He felt that his progress was too substantial. Now, what limited his ability to lay out formations wasn't his knowledge of formations but rather his True Yuan, his cultivation level.

Even with the Formation Artifact Manual, it was still the same.

"Second Uncle, is it possible to lay out that Fourth Rank Intermediate Grade Compound Formation and at least eighteen Storage Spirit Formations?" asked Lin Shiming.

"Ninety-nine percent sure!" Lin Houshou was extremely confident at this moment.

He started taking out all the materials he had prepared beforehand. The first to be laid out was the Storage Spirit Formation for the Purple Sun Tower.

After all, Wang Jiao was still residing under the Golden Dragon Fruit Tree, but there were no such restrictions for the Purple Sun Tower.

Regarding the layout of the formation platforms, Lin Shiming was an outsider. He relayed the connection between the layout, the Purple Sun Tower, and the opposite side to Lin Houshou.

Lin Shiming then assisted Lin Houshou on the side.

As of now, they were essentially creating a base for the Purple Sun Tower.

Fortunately, without the previous protective formation, Lin Shiming alone could lift the Purple Sun Tower.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to find the three Flood Dragons.

As time passed, Lin Shiming watched little by little as a formation gradually took shape.

It was unclear how much time had passed when Lin Houshou suddenly scattered the formation flags in his hand like a goddess scattering flowers, embedding them into the eighteen Storage Spirit Platforms.

Instantly, eighteen Spiritual Energy whirlpools were formed.

Then, the Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Veins surged toward these whirlpools!

These whirlpools had immense suction power; normally, a Fourth Rank Spiritual Vein wouldn't be sufficient, which was why the Flaming Sword had said that at least two Intermediate Grade Fourth Rank Spiritual Veins were required.

With the appearance of the Spiritual Energy whirlpools, the Spirit Patterns on the Purple Sun Tower also began to wash over themselves, circle by circle.

"Puh!" Lin Houshou suddenly spat out fresh blood.

"Second Uncle, you can't look at those Spirit Patterns!" Lin Shiming quickly warned.

It was obviously too late, but fortunately, since the Spirit Patterns were only initially activated, their power was much less.

Nevertheless, it made Lin Houshou extremely wary.

Lin Shiming, whose mind was always active, walked towards the interior of the Purple Sun Tower and quickly discovered that the first floor of the tower was just like the one he had seen in the Purple Sun Secret Realm, with a whirlpool, one that led to a Cave Heaven Secret Realm.

This Purple Sun Tower was clearly also a Secret Realm Cave Heaven, and now it was like a cave within a cave heaven.

Lin Shiming stepped directly into the Cave Heaven, and since he had memorized the interior formation when it was not activated, there was no danger.

A new cave heaven appeared before him, though somewhat barren.

After all, all of the Spiritual Medicine had been moved out by Lin Shiming.

After observing for a moment, Lin Shiming found that, aside from the insufficient Spiritual Energy compared to the Cave Heaven of the Purple Sun Secret Realm, it was similar.

Lin Shiming also knew that his Storage Spirit Formation was still too basic.

One should know that the Cave Heavens in the secret realms could drain the Purple Sun Secret Realm to barrenness; those Storage Spirit Formations were much more powerful than the ones currently established.

But for Lin Shiming, it was sufficient, and even for the future of the Lin Family, it would be more than enough. In time, there would naturally be no shortage of Golden Core Spiritual Medicine.

Lin Shiming suppressed his elation and walked out of the Purple Sun Tower. At this moment, at the gate of the tower, the Spirit Shadows of those five thousand and ten thousand year old Spiritual Medicines all came running over.

Each one was very impatient. In the Purple Sun Tower, they could obtain benefits beyond their imagination.

Naturally, they didn't wish to stay longer in Lin Shiming's Cave Heaven.

And since Lin Shiming didn't harm them, they were fearless.

Lin Shiming didn't refuse them and transplanted these Spiritual Medicines back into the Purple Sun Tower, one by one. Finally, he also transplanted the Golden Thunder Bamboo and the Wood Demon into the tower.

However, the Heavenly Spirit Fruit Tree, the Fuling Fiery Mulberry Fruit, and the Great Strength Fruit Tree, as well as other Spirit Fruit Trees, were not transplanted.

After all, these Spirit Fruits were critical to the advancement of the Lin Family's cultivators.

It would be better to wait until there were no issues before placing them into it.

"Second Uncle, you've made a great contribution, truly amazing!" Lin Shiming kept praising Lin Houshou, and his praise came from the heart.

The Purple Sun Tower was too important for the Lin Family, and it might decide what name the Coral Alliance would carry for hundreds or thousands of years to come.

After all, cultivators couldn't just enter the Purple Sun Secret Realm at will. If the Demonic Race found the location and the Golden Core True Persons of the Coral Alliance weren't strong enough, they might not be able to claim it back.

But there were no such restrictions with this Purple Sun Tower of the Lin Family.

"This is all thanks to you! Second Uncle only contributed a bit of brute strength!" Lin Houshou shook his head, but he was very content.

Lin Shiming also gazed towards the Flood Dragon Nest.

The Flood Dragon Nest was equally important.

The Lin Family's Spiritual Serpent clan had completely spread the word about this event in the rankings, not just on Xu Ri Island, but throughout the entire Coral Alliance.

In time, they could continuously acquire Spirit Snakes with unique talents and cultivate Spiritual Flood Dragons.

It might take a considerable amount of time, but cultivators could wait!

Lin Houshou nodded in agreement, first taking out a Spirit Pill to restore True Yuan, and after swallowing it, he looked at Lin Shiming.

Naturally, the Formation could not be set up while Wang Jiao was around.

Lin Shiming nodded in agreement. He tried to send a message to Wang Jiao through sound transmission.

The other party seemed to sense Lin Shiming's intention, and a big cluster of dim light moved towards a nearby mud swamp.

Leaving the Golden Dragon Fruit Tree exposed in front of the two.

And the big clump of dark light also gave the two men quite a scare.

Wang Jiao had grown almost twice as big.

It was just that it had always been coiled up, so they hadn't noticed, but one could imagine that when Wang Jiao finished seclusion, it really might reach the mid-phase of a Fourth Rank Great Demon!
