Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

But Lin Shiming had not expected Lin Shiming to step forward:

"Mu Lei, I respect you as an elder, but fabricating evidence is something I cannot accept!" Lin Shiming did not even respond to Jiuxiao Scatter Man.

He knew that at this moment, even if he spoke out about Jiuxiao Scatter Man occupying the Lin Family's talent and the Spirit Stone mine veins,

it would be useless; he had killed him, and that was that!

The tacit approval shown by Xue Shan True Person was further thought-provoking.

He gambled that the Jade Slip was empty!

Just as expected, Xue Shan True Person spoke up:

"Mu Lei, the evidence in this Jade Slip is insufficient, and Lin Shiming has never been to the Jin Lei Islands!"

With those words from Xue Shan True Person, Mu Lei's face darkened.

He fell back into his seat, no longer speaking.

Just as Mu Lei fell back and made no peep, Red Leaf True Person would not let such an opportunity pass by.

"Mu Lei, can you just falsely accuse a hero of our Xu Ri Island as you please?"

"You must give an explanation for this incident!"

"Let's just say that I was muddle-headed this time!" Mu Lei took out a Storage Bag and threw it out, landing in Red Leaf True Person's hands.

And with that, the matter was settled.

Lin Shiming couldn't help but clench his fists secretly. Currently, he was still lacking in strength. Without the system's prompt, he could have very likely been framed by Mu Lei True Person.

From the attitude of Xue Shan True Person, it seemed as though he did not wish to see the defense alignment become too powerful.

After all, the location of Xu Ri Island is quite crucial now that it has openly allied with Tianliu Island.

And several outer islands infiltrated like Lianyun Island have almost been destroyed by the beast tide, two of which are now in Lin Shiming's hands.

This signifies that Xu Ri Island currently is a pure force, falling in the line of defense, means the line of defense is growing stronger.

From the perspective of Xue Shan True Person, this does not align with his interests as the Alliance Hierarch, even though Lin Shiming has a Protector behind him.

Although the Coral Alliance is one entity, this model of the Twelve Inner Islands naturally also gives rise to more issues regarding interests.

As for what treasure Mu Lei had given to Red Leaf True Person, Lin Shiming was not interested.

Since Red Leaf True Person stood up to claim it, let her have it, it was a fair trade.

"Alright, the beast tide has just ended, let us not start another dispute!" Xue Shan True Person could not help but speak out to dissuade.

As he spoke, he held up his cup, and the aroma of Fifth Rank Spiritual Wine completely enveloped the entire hall.

Even the cup he raised showed some magical phenomena.

In the swirling green mist, one could see the spirits of monkeys under the moon, quite wondrous.

The rest held up their cups in haste, each pouring themselves a drink.

Now, Lin Shiming was looking closely at the green Spiritual Wine, his breathing hastened, feeling his True Yuan flowing vigorously throughout his body.

This Fifth Rank Spiritual Wine, compared to Fifth Rank Spiritual Tea, was more wondrous and strong.

Just smelling it caused his spirit to be shaken.

"To victory, cheers!" Xue Shan True Person was the first to speak.

"To victory, cheers!"

...

The other True Persons and Lin Shiming replied in kind.

As he swallowed a sip of the green Spiritual Wine, Lin Shiming felt as if he saw a group of extraordinarily lively monkeys scooping the moon from a lake, very clear in his mind.

And his True Yuan began to surge like clouds, his Cultivation Technique seemingly uncontrollable in its operation.

Lin Shiming did not try to control it.

Not only did Lin Shiming not control it, but the others didn't either.

Lin Shiming speculated that this Spiritual Wine might be like the one from Kuangfeng True Person before,

also intended for testing everyone's Cultivation Techniques. Any who had obviously practiced Demon Cultivator Techniques, or techniques of spirits or ghosts, could now be easily identified.

This was also a simple test.

Having finished the Spiritual Wine, Lin Shiming felt extremely refreshed, this Fifth Rank Spiritual Wine was truly extraordinary.

The boost it gave to the Cultivation Level was also quite significant. Lin Shiming just didn't know if he could take the Spiritual Wine with him.

If he could take it away, and gave Jiuxiao Scatter Man a drink, it might even help him advance his Cultivation Level!

After all, he was practicing Nine Heavens Spiritual Water Scripture, which specifically required strong Spiritual Wine.

"By the way, Daoist Red Leaf, the Daoists from Nine Dragon Island have had three outer islands consecutively broken through by the Flood Dragon Clan. This time, what Daoist Fengxing did was also out of vengeance. What is your and Tianliu Island's view on this?"

"Alliance Hierarch, Xu Ri Island is afraid it simply doesn't have the capacity, all Transmission Formations have been destroyed, and a large number of Cultivators have perished..." Red Leaf True Person replied directly.

As these words were spoken, several True Persons from Nine Dragon Island immediately straightened their postures and their faces turned slightly ugly.

They did not come to the celebration feast truly to celebrate their victory.

Their loss was substantial this time, and the head of Nine Dragon Island had already ordered them to retrieve the tree with the nearly mature Golden Dragon Fruit at all costs!

Attending the banquet was also to establish cooperation with the True Persons of the Coral Alliance.

Otherwise, why would they come here to celebrate? They were the losers, after all.

"Daoist Fengxing, this..." Xue Shan True Person also showed embarrassment.

This awkwardness, combined with the obvious discord within the Coral Alliance before the banquet,

suddenly became more persuasive!

After all, previously, Mu Lei True Person dared to present false evidence, and Lin Shiming and Red Leaf True Person dared to refute it.

The True Persons from Nine Dragon Island immediately felt even more bitter, initially thinking they could just watch the drama unfold, but now realizing it seemed more like a premeditated plan by the other party.

"Daoist Blood Coral, this time, since brother Jiulong has commanded it, how about this, your Coral Alliance provides one outer island Transmission Formation to Nine Dragon Island, and for the next fifty years, Nine Dragon Island will provide two Flood Dragon hatchlings to the Coral Alliance!"

Fengxing True Person's face showed pain; their Nine Dragon Island had lost three Golden Dragon Fruit trees, and the breeding of Flood Dragons was greatly reduced.

Xue Shan True Person's tone hesitated, but then nodded, looking towards Red Leaf True Person.

"Daoist Red Leaf, the extra Flood Dragon hatchlings will also be competed for among your islands, so just arrange an outer island corresponding directly to Blood Dragon Isle's Transmission Formation!"

Red Leaf True Person finally nodded as well.

Her nod then turned towards Lin Shiming:

"Daoist Lin, please find a location on Jiuyue Island for Nine Dragon Island's island transmission. Additionally, Daoist Fengxing has a famous trading caravan known across the Six Great Seas!"

"Alright!" Lin Shiming nodded, realizing there was no room for turning back.

Jiuyue Island was the most suitable choice, after all.

It was just a tough assignment, as it could potentially provoke another backlash from the Flood Dragon Clan.

Red Leaf True Person's suggestion was also a way to secure an opportunity for the Lin Family to cooperate with the trading caravan.

Jiuyue Island would undoubtedly become bustling.

The Lin Family would be able to purchase many of the resources they desired, and even materials like Netherworld Heavy Ironwood for crafting Fifth Rank Spiritual Puppets might appear!

"Young friend Lin, here is our Fengxing Trading Alliance's token. We do have a certain reputation across the Six Great Seas, and if you like, you can even purchase Half-Flood Dragon carriages!" Fengxing True Person finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With this permission, he considered half his mission accomplished.

And he naturally wouldn't care about the small matters of the trading alliance.

"Thank you, Senior Fengxing!" Lin Shiming took the token with repeated thanks.

But as he stowed the token, he also placed it in the Jade Box inside the Storage Bag.

Dealing with such True Persons, he had now become accustomed to being cautious.

With all matters settled, the celebration feast once again turned to its main topic.

Everyone savored the Spiritual Delicacies and Spiritual Wine.

Even Lin Shiming couldn't help but take the jug, pour another cup, and set it on the table.

He then began to eat the Spiritual Delicacies.

The dishes were all Fourth Rank Supreme Grade Spiritual Delicacies, including ingredients such as Flood Dragon meat, offering a rich and luxurious flavor unlike any other.

An ordinary Cultivator might explode from being unable to control their True Yuan after just one bite.

"Gentlemen, it's a rare occasion that so many True Persons are gathered, why not have another small trade meeting?" one of the Buddha Cultivators finally spoke up.

It was the first time the Buddha Cultivator had spoken.

Their purpose, however, was for a small trade meeting.

It was as if they came here just for the abundance of True Persons, which could facilitate the exchange for coveted treasures.

"Master Mingdeng has a point. Let's clear the wine and dishes and start the trade meeting!" Xue Shan True Person also nodded in agreement.

Some Purple Mansion Cultivators entered, beginning to clear away the Spiritual Delicacies and Spiritual Wine.

Yet Lin Shiming placed the cup of wine in his Storage Bag, and after Kuangfeng True Person glanced at it, he passed the jug to Lin Shiming as well.

Lin Shiming certainly did it for Jiuxiao Scatter Man, to heighten his chances of obtaining the Gold Condensation Pill.

Seeing Kuangfeng True Person pass him the jug, he nodded and discreetly accepted it.

Although the other True Persons at the gathering didn't have the habit of packing away Spiritual Wine and Delicacies,

he was the only Purple Mansion Cultivator here!

He had to set aside his concern for appearances, clearly distinguishing between face and tangible benefits.
