Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

Xu Ri Island, just outside the Transmission Formation.

Lin Shiming felt as if he were witnessing the scene after the beast tide ended, with the number of cultivators gradually increasing once more.

Row upon row of glazed tile buildings, paired with mahogany bay windows, exuded a unique aura.

On the streets, cultivators of all colors and varieties bustled about.

There were those in Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, and even Purple Mansion cultivators were not rare; their eyes were filled with exhaustion, yet also gleamed with the joy of surviving a calamity.

Some merchant caravans, dressed in satin robes, were especially hurried in their steps.

After experiencing the beast tide, the Coral Alliance was naturally in possession of a vast quantity of Demonic Beast materials. Demonic Beast body parts could be transformed into magic artifacts, Spirit Beast meat could be sold, and most importantly, Demonic Beast inner cores could be used to refine elixirs.

In the Southern Sea Cultivation World, many cultivation-enhancing elixirs use Demonic Beast inner cores as the main ingredient.

The elixirs that Fairy Yulin and Fairy Fuling gave Lin Shiming were primarily based on Demonic Beast inner cores.

Now was also the time when the prices of Demonic Beast materials were at their lowest. However, within a few years, prices would rise again. With the beast tide over, the number of Demonic Beasts would also be significantly reduced.

Thinking of this, Lin Shiming even considered getting in touch with the merchant caravans.

The Lin Family also had many Demonic Beast materials, and at the end of the tide, they had begun to buy back these materials.

While the Lin Family could eventually use up these materials, circulating a portion them right away could be more helpful for the development of the family.

The key point was that the Lin Family could get to know the merchant caravans. Then, the Lin Family's tavern, and even their other materials, could all be sold.

This could also help to establish the Lin Family's reputation. Maybe even the Turtle Spirit Coconuts could be sold.

Possessing the potential to increase the favorability among high-level cultivators, within the Southern Sea, Lin Shiming had yet to hear of similar spiritual objects. The Lin Family had stumbled upon success with them by mistake.

As long as they could properly market it, he believed there would still be many True Persons, Hermits, or even large clans willing to purchase them.

This was more reliable and safer than doing business with the Qingyun Fox Clan.

After all, the Lin Family also had True Person-level strength, and Lin Shiming was even vaguely known as the number one of the Purple Mansion in the Coral Alliance.

This title was naturally somewhat exaggerated, but for the Lin Family, it was a mixed blessing.

Lin Shiming was also urgently in need of further increasing his strength.

This time, he had essentially revealed all his methods.

This made him feel very insecure.

"Island Master Lin, the True Person requests your presence!" At that moment, a beautiful woman in a purple dress spoke in a gentle voice.

The woman was extremely beautiful, with a ponytail that was bursting with energy, and her cultivation level was in the late stage of Purple Mansion, which made him take another glance at her.

"Then I shall trouble the fairy for her guidance!" Lin Shiming was still somewhat puzzled, but then the woman took out a token, after which the words "Red Leaf" were inscribed.

Lin Shiming then understood that Red Leaf True Person had finally sought him out.

This meeting was delayed due to the arrangement of the transmission formations; otherwise, it should have started right after his conversation with Kuangfeng True Person.

For Lin Shiming, it was also essential to have a talk with Red Leaf True Person.

After all, Red Leaf True Person was his direct superior.

However, surprisingly, the place they were going was not Red Leaf Palace, but Xu Ri Palace instead.

Lin Shiming's expression turned solemn; he was unclear whether Red Leaf True Person was hinting at something or trying to glean some information from him.

But since the system prompt hadn't sounded, and he had also notified the Flaming Sword, he felt somewhat reassured.

He continued to follow the woman in the purple dress, trying to fish for information along the way.

Yet the woman in the purple dress was also skillful in dodging his questions, not directly answering Lin Shiming.

They moved quickly, and soon arrived in front of the palace.

As he approached Xu Ri Palace and saw the extremely luxurious palace, Lin Shiming felt a slight sense of emotion.

The last time he came here, it was under Xu Ri True Person's plotting, and this was where he first learned of Ziji Tan.

"Island Master Lin, Red Leaf True Person awaits you in the palace. Also, Xu Ri True Person is in closed-door cultivation, so I hope Island Master Lin can keep the noise to a minimum!" The woman in the purple dress bowed slightly, then withdrew.

Lin Shiming's curiosity deepened even more, but without saying anything, he entered Xu Ri Palace.

There he saw Red Leaf True Person, wearing a red silk garment.

Today's Red Leaf True Person wore a long red headband, her hair still bound with a red cord, robust yet stunningly beautiful, like a fire maple.

"You've arrived, sit down!" Red Leaf True Person's tone was very calm.

"I apologize for making you wait, senior!" Lin Shiming also hurriedly paid his respects, then took a seat.

"Lin young friend, I would like to know what you think about the current situation on Xu Ri Island?" Red Leaf True Person did not avoid the subject and was extremely direct.

This took Lin Shiming by surprise; he had thought Red Leaf True Person would ask about his background, why the Lin Family kept secrets, but he didn't expect Red Leaf True Person to avoid all that.

Instead, she started discussing the current situation, and his mind raced with thoughts, but he still couldn't grasp Red Leaf True Person's main point, so he could only take one step at a time:

"Senior Red Leaf, Xu Ri Island, being on the outskirts of the Coral Sea Domain, is rich in Demonic Beasts and certainly occupies a strategic location..."

"I want to hear the hard facts, just like I did not inquire about your origin or Xu Ri True Person, I hope you won't evade the issue either!" Red Leaf True Person interrupted him directly.

Impatience laced her tone, causing Lin Shiming to flinch, and then he made up his mind.

He paused for a moment before responding:

"Xu Ri Island's location is certainly good, but it is also an extremely awkward position. Towards the inner sea, it is close to the Nine Dragon Sea Domain, the outer sea borders the Demonic Race, and it is situated in the middle between Tianliu Island and Golden Thunder Island, making it a fiercely contested area!"
