Chapter 708: 457
And this time, although the Lin Family suffered substantial damage, the mortals of the Lin Family and most of the cultivators from the generations of the Lin Family with 'Yan' in their given names were unscathed.
They might not have experienced the full beast tide, but being displaced and relying on the hospitality of others, that feeling, could still inspire them to fight bravely.
Furthermore, with so many Lin Family cultivators here, having gone through the beast tide was like having passed through a baptism.
Lin Shiming arranged the Transmission Formation and had Jiuxiao Scatter Man help with the recovery of the market.
The Transmission Formation wouldn't be ready anytime soon, but the market could be restored.
The Lin Family could also rely on their vast clan resources to exchange for Spirit Beast resources among the loose cultivators and smaller clans.
Moreover, this time, the Lin Family could once again open their doors, and with their current prestige, recruiting sons-in-law and taking in Guest Elders would be much simpler than before.
Apart from Jiuxiao Scatter Man managing the market, Lin Shijie was in charge of rebuilding Zi Yu Mountain, which had also been severely damaged this time.
Once everything was arranged, Lin Shiming also spread the news that in one month's time, the Lin Family would hold an auction on Heavenly Phenomenon Island.
This time they generously put forth Zi Xuan Precious Jade, along with a substantial number of Spirit Snakes and spiritual pets, and dozens of Foundation Establishment Pills.
This was something the Lin Family had promised before the war, so naturally, they couldn't go back on their word.
This news was disseminated by Lin Zekong and Lin Zecheng.
As members of the 'Ze' generation, they were now considered core forces and could take on certain responsibilities.
After making the arrangements, Lin Shiming returned to his cave dwelling on Zi Yu Mountain to fully focus on recovering from his injuries.
His left arm had been shattered by the Star Pearl once again, making Lin Shiming eager to further enhance his Body Refining strength.
If his Star Body Refining Technique could reach the peak of the Purple Mansion, then perhaps he could withstand at least two punches by that time.
At that point, any Golden Core True Person he ambushed would definitely not fare well.
As we all know, the physical bodies of True Persons are not as strong as those of a Fifth-Order Jiaolong.
However, he also considered how to approach True Persons closely.
The next morning, Lin Shiming opened his eyes.
Heavenly Phenomenon Island already showed a new atmosphere; the market was bustling again, and even Zi Yu Mountain was filled with blooming peach trees, the fragrance of peach blossoms filling the air.
In front of the Ascending Immortal Ladder on Zi Yu Mountain, many loose cultivators were discovering the wonders of the ladder, including a Spirit Talisman Master that Lin Shijin had recruited. Back then on Jiuyue Island, he said he would test it out, but Lin Shiming still didn't have time now.
The new vitality of the clan made him feel at ease, so he then went to activate the Formation and entered the Cave Heaven World.
Wang Jiao instantly arrived before Lin Shiming, the latter's eyes glaring at him.
Full of grievance.
After all, Lin Shiming had released both Red-haired and Golden Wing, but had unfairly not released him.
Even the Crimson Flame Sword on the other side had been let out!
It was truly boring for him to stay in the Cave Heaven!
"Rest assured, your reward is not small either. You must work hard and break through again soon!" Lin Shiming handed the corpses of a late Fourth Rank Poisonous Dragon and a peak Fourth Rank tricolored Poisonous Dragon, as well as their Demon Cores, to Wang Jiao.
Wang Jiao had no problem devouring the nine-headed serpent, so naturally, these wouldn't be an issue for him either.
Now, Lin Shiming had so many Jiaolong corpses that he didn't need to worry about any waste.
Upon seeing this, Wang Jiao immediately roared excitedly.
"Master is mighty, roar!"
"Roar!"
After being sent away, Wang Jiao, Red-haired, and Golden Wing each were fed some Spirit Beast materials.
Only then did Lin Shiming turn his attention to the Flaming Sword.
"Senior, you have worked hard these past days!"
"Kid Lin, if we're to count your five-thousand-year-old Spiritual Medicines, you'd be out of them by now, but after acting so many times, I'll give you a discount, leaving one last one!" the Flaming Sword lifted its head and spoke.
"Many thanks, senior!" Lin Shiming knew by now that the Flaming Sword was protecting him.
Intentionally saying there was one last chance, he was naturally very grateful.
"You, kid, remember to nourish your Sword Intent, and don't just fiddle around aimlessly!" the Flaming Sword spoke again.
Lin Shiming nodded again and again, knowing he still had a long way to go on his Sword Dao journey. From Tianliu True Person's Sword Lake, the move Willow Bank was not just about the wine!
He needed to nurture his Sword Path Grass, and his Taiyi Sword Grass also required nurturing, a process that needed time, bit by bit.
Once the Flaming Sword finished speaking, Lin Shiming also started to look over the gains from this venture.
The remains of a fourth-rank Flood Dragon had increased by twelve, reaching an impressive total of forty, although many of them could only be referred to as half-dragons.
There were seven carcasses of fifth-rank Flood Dragons, two from Jiuyue Island, two Wind Flood Dragons from Heavenly Phenomenon Island, and three that had come to confront him in the final battle.
Among these, the most rare was the fifth-rank Chameleon Flood Dragon King. Lin Shiming planned to refine a secret magical treasure with the Flood Dragon King's material—no need for fifth-rank materials, but something that required an extremely terrifying degree of concealment!
This would be a great help for his future journey to the Eastern Domain.
Apart from the Chameleon Flood Dragon King, Lin Shiming then turned his attention to the carcass and Demon Core of the Leech Demon King.
He found these materials quite baffling, particularly the latter's Demon Core and its powerful clone technique.
At the moment he picked up the flesh, he could still feel the softness of the leech as if it contained not a hint of strength.
Yet every time he tore a piece off it would transform into an even smaller leech carcass.
This made Lin Shiming feel quite peculiar; such material would likely be a great asset for creating clones, albeit a bit weak.
Lin Shiming's gaze then fell upon the scalp of the Leech Demon King, which bore a skin with an extraordinary amount of Spirit Patterns.
While it hadn't reached the same level as the Blue-eyed Demon King's eyes, it was still incredibly unusual.
He touched it with his hand and in the next moment, felt his blood crazily surging towards the skin.
For a while, the circulation of his True Yuan became chaotic, and even the strength of his body was greatly affected.
This caused Lin Shiming to rejoice; if he could refine this spirit skin into a Spirit Drum and beat it, it would probably affect both Qi Cultivators and Body Refining Cultivators greatly, rendering even Magical Treasures that defend against Divine Sense useless.
It directly affected the blood.
If it hadn't been for the Flaming Sword, Lin Shiming might very well have perished at the hands of the Leech Demon King.
He carefully removed the Leech Demon King's spirit skin.
And sealed it in a Jade Box.
Only then did he look at a blue mirror and a blue long sword.
The blue longsword was obviously a fifth-rank Magical Treasure, but it only possessed the strength of an inferior-grade, fifth-rank treasure. Since it resembled a swordfish, Lin Shiming named it the Green Fish Sword.
The sword was fine, but Lin Shiming couldn't use it, especially since it was a Water Attribute treasure.
What caught his eye the most was the blue mirror.
This mirror could lock space in its reflection, rendering even Boundary-breaking Talismans useless, unquestionably a magical treasure on par with the Leaping Void Disk.
The mirror too, resembled a broad Spirit Fish and seemed to be part of a set with the Green Fish Sword.
Behind the mirror, it was covered with blue fish-scale Spirit Patterns, which looked extremely complicated.
Lin Shiming simply named the mirror the Green Fish Mirror.
Although the mirror was also a fifth-rank magical treasure, Lin Shiming still couldn't use it at the moment. He would have to wait until his breakthrough to the Golden Core, but he was very eager for this treasure.
With this magical treasure in hand, once he reached the Golden Core Stage, he would definitely not be one of those at the early stage of Golden Core who were weak in magical combat.
Next, Lin Shiming began examining the Storage Bags of several Demon Kings.
These Demon Kings could transform into humans, and usually stored their treasures in Storage Bags.
To his surprise, a piece of Black Light Crystal appeared in his hand.
It turned out to be a Supreme Grade Black Light Crystal, another key material for a fifth-rank Spiritual Puppet. Including the Heaven Color Clay, he now had two of the main materials for a fifth-rank puppet.
All he required now was some two-thousand-year-old Heavy Ironwood to refine a fifth-rank puppet.
If he could collect it, perhaps through the relationships with Kuangfeng True Person, the Lin Family might gain the foundation of a Golden Core puppet.
Lin Shiming carefully put away the Black Light Crystal and prepared a Spirit Talisman Jade Slip, so that Lin Family Cultivators could search for news of the Heavy Ironwood.
Compared to Black Light Crystal and Heaven Color Clay, Heavy Ironwood was the easiest treasure to find.
Besides the Black Light Crystal, Lin Shiming also found a five-thousand-year-old Crimson Flame Grass, which he estimated the Demonic Race acquired by killing cultivators from the Purple Sun Secret Realm.
He directly handed it to the Crimson Flame Sword.
The remaining ores and Spirit Grass were also plentiful, though all of them were fourth-rank and immature, with a few still having their roots intact. Lin Shiming planted them in the Purple Sun Tower and cultivated them with care.
As for whether they would mature, that he could only leave up to fate.
After sorting out the treasures, Lin Shiming glanced once more at the chrysalis of the Five-colored Python, which was still emitting a five-colored dim light, showing that the rebirth had been successful.
Lin Shiming then left Cave Heaven and headed to Xu Ri Island to join the victory celebration.
