Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

"At the moment, testing it on myself is possible!" Lin Yanjiao nodded.

The excitement in her heart took a long time to settle.

"Even more, I can control the content of the Illusion Array, creating any scene, and I could even rely on the Illusion Technique of the Illusionary Heart Stone to evolve it!" Lin Yanjiao spoke again.

"Even the battle scenes of the past can be replayed, which could greatly benefit my own cultivation practice and even future negotiations!"

Just now, she had inquired about the secrets of the Sword Pavilion using her own Family Jade Book.

If she had used other Inquiry Spirit Talismans or even Spirit Secret Methods, it might have involved the Family Jade Book, which would make it impossible to speak of and might even trigger a warning.

But in this Illusion Technique, she had no such problems.

She perfectly avoided the Family Jade Book.

The advantage of this was that if any cultivator from the Lin Family harboring ill intentions infiltrated in the future, they could be discovered through this Illusionary Heart Pavilion, no matter how cunningly hidden their Secret Techniques were.

After all, the Inquiry Spirit Talisman had many limitations, just like for Shiming, as long as he knew about the Inquiry Spirit Talisman and kept his answers simple, there would be no issues.

Just like Shiming himself knew how to infiltrate the Lin Family and avoid the Inquiry Spirit Talisman.

For example, Yu Jing came to the Lin Family to break through to the Purple Mansion and also to seek revenge.

However, she concealed her intention to use the Lin Family's Illusionary Heart Pavilion to rid herself of her Heart Demon.

For instance, if the target was the Lin Family's Golden Dragon Fruit tree, Shiming would not be able to ask if the other party came coveting this treasure tree.

Otherwise, he would be the one to reveal it.

But it's not necessarily the same with the Illusionary Heart Pavilion, as it can more thoroughly unearth the fears hidden deep within the other party's heart.

"Seventh Great-Uncle, I'm just not sure if it works on Purple Mansion cultivators!" Lin Yanjiao spoke with some lack of confidence.

She had tested on herself but not on someone at the Purple Mansion level, so she was somewhat uneasy.

"Wait a moment, I'll go with you to test it!" Lin Shitao volunteered.

She was also at the Purple Mansion level.

Shiming nodded; he had many secrets, some of which he preferred not to let Lin Yanjiao know, after all, her Cultivation Level was only at Foundation Establishment.

Moreover, Lin Shitao could also be tested.

The two went out together and entered the Illusionary Heart Pavilion once more, while Shiming waited quietly in the room with a cup of Spiritual Tea.

After the time it took for one incense stick to burn...

As the yellow wooden door opened, Lin Yanjiao and Lin Shitao walked in.

There was a look of surprise on both faces:

"Seventh Great-Uncle, it works!" Lin Yanjiao was extremely excited.

"Yanjiao, you've done a great service!"

Shiming also nodded and praised Lin Yanjiao before taking out a Peach Blossom River Scenic Map, a Magic Artifact from his early years, and rewarded it to Lin Yanjiao as well.

"Thank you, Seventh Great-Uncle!" Lin Yanjiao's face was full of smiles.

"Prepare well, your responsibility is not light!" Shiming added.

With this remark, Lin Yanjiao's smile was irrepressible.

She then took her leave.

Lin Shitao sat down beside him and took over the teapot, pouring tea for Shiming.

"Seventh Brother, isn't making Yanjiao Family Head a bit of an overkill?"

Shiming looked towards the door, somewhat surprised by Lin Shitao's words.

He knew she was referring to his implication of Yanjiao's matter.

"For her, if she wants to create a legend within the Lin Family and surpass me, this is the path she must take, it is her Dao heart!"

"From the family's point of view, when she becomes Family Head, she will carry a greater sense of responsibility for the family!"

"Then why not fulfill it?" Shiming replied, his heart filled with gratification.

He once did not understand some of Lin Xianzhi's actions, but now that he had reached this point, he understood them all.

Perhaps if his Dao journey had stopped at the Purple Mansion, he felt that he would be more like Lin Xianzhi of the Purple Mansion.

But there were no 'ifs'; he was not Lin Xianzhi, nor would he stop at the Purple Mansion.

Lin Shitao simply nodded and asked no more, her face beaming with smiles. Although she did not fully understand, as long as Shiming was happy and the Lin Family was prosperous, she too was content.

She raised her tea cup and drank together with Shiming.

After the tea, the two proceeded to the Council Hall.

The Council Hall had been renovated again; this time it was a full five stories high, symbolizing the Lin Family as a Golden Core Family.

This construction also considered the Spirit Cultivator of the Flame Yang Sword.

Giant sculptures of spirit snakes adorned both sides of the gallery, and the plaques were written with vigorous and powerful strokes, showcasing the Lin Family's grandeur.

Shiming entered the hall.

The hall was also decorated more luxuriously, and every decoration was filled with Spiritual Energy, all belonging to Second Rank spiritual wood.

Even the potted plants and grasses visited in the courtyard were Second Rank Spirit Flowers and Spirit Grasses.

Of course, he did not think this was an excessive display; during family negotiations, if your family seemed small-minded with nothing to show, it would be looked down upon by other families.

In the middle of the hall, a middle-aged man in a white silk robe kept producing Jade Slips in his hand.

Cultivators from the Lin Family constantly came and went within the room, and the middle-aged man's brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was worried about something.

Then occasionally his expression would relax a little amidst his busy work.

Shiming found himself slightly embarrassed, knowing that it was his faked death and stepping down as Family Head that brought Lin Houyong back to this position.

"Father!"

"Shiming, Shitao are here?" Lin Houyuan also put down the Jade Slip and looked at Shiming and Shitao with delight in his heart, showing on his face.

"Father, you've been working hard!" Shiming handed Lin Houyuan a cup of Spiritual Tea, letting him take a break.

Handling family matters was no more relaxing than cultivation.

Lin Houyuan then invited the two to sit.

The father and son had not seen each other for a long time, but as they hadn't interacted much before, the two men sitting face to face found it hard to make conversation.

In the end, they discussed the family's situation.

They talked about everything from the current personnel and finance to the future direction of the Lin Family.
