Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

Jiuyue Island, the transmission formation gleamed uninterruptedly, and with a burst of light, Lin Shiming, Lin Shiyuan, Lin Shilei, and Lin Shiyun appeared in the center of the formation.

At this moment, the transmission formation was extremely busy, with a significant number of cultivators coming from Heavenly Phenomenon Island.

The setup of the transmission formation was also much more luxurious than before, with various redwood pavilions standing tall, piled with golden glazed tiles that shone brilliantly in the sunlight.

If Jiuyue Island was previously in a state of strict readiness, guarding against a beast tide,

now it seemed to have subtly replaced Heavenly Phenomenon Island, becoming even more flourishing and prosperous, more like an island brimming with vitality.

The Lin Family cultivators guarding the formation hastily exchanged pleasantries with Lin Shiming and the others.

"With Fengxing Commercial Alliance here, it's indeed bustling!" Even Lin Shiyun couldn't help but express amazement.

"They're known to traverse the six great seas in their trade, naturally impressive!" Lin Shiming also nodded in agreement.

This time they didn't bring many people; of course, if Lin Family cultivators wanted to attend the auction themselves, they simply came on their own.

Now with the transmission formation, it was quite convenient,

but for Lin Shilei and Lin Shiyuan, Lin Shiming had taken the initiative to bring them along, wanting them to clear their minds. Cultivation and revenge were not matters of a single day or night.

The Cultivation World was not an ordinary mortal world where one could achieve everything they desired through mere passion and scheming.

In the Cultivation World, there were only magical techniques and martial might.

As for why Lin Shitao did not come, it was because Lin Shiming had taken the Flaming Sword with him, and Shuangmu Island could not be without a Purple Mansion cultivator in charge.

And without the Flaming Sword, Lin Shiming truly felt vulnerable when facing many True Persons from Nine Dragon Island.

Apart from Lin Shitao, Lin Shiming also left behind the Golden Wing, Red-haired, and Wang Jiao, the three beasts.

All three beasts were digesting demonic beast materials to grow stronger; bringing them would serve no purpose in a fight, meanwhile, leaving them with the family was more beneficial.

"This auction will indeed have some nice items!" Lin Shiming smiled as he spoke, then without divulging more, led the group towards the market within.

The market interior was now more lavishly arranged, with shops big and small, built in tidy rows.

The entire Jiuyue City was divided into four districts: one for restaurants, one for shops, one for street stalls, and the last area was a vast auction site.

There were three auction venues, distinguishing between major auctions and smaller ones.

In large cities, the auctions differed in scale and rarity between Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion, and each was categorized separately.

Before, the Lin Family was managing fine, but now with Fengxing Commercial Alliance involved, not only did they set up large shops, but they also made the auctions more orderly.

Cultivators shuttled through the market, nearly all with joyful expressions, while many discussions erupted, most of which revolved around the auction.

This time, the Lin Family had made a bold move for the auction: one Zi Xuan Precious Jade, a full hundred Foundation Establishment Pills, plus countless rare Second and Third Rank magical treasures; they nearly couldn't control the scene!

Unlike before, when the auction's influence was confined within Heavenly Phenomenon Island and the Lin Family could determine who would obtain the Zi Xuan Precious Jade,

this time, the auction's impact was so extensive that even Lin Shiming noted several monks from other families.

This too was the reach of Fengxing Commercial Alliance.

Although the Lin Family was under surveillance by Nine Dragon Island, correspondingly, the Fengxing Commercial Alliance also brought many business opportunities to the Lin Family.

Even outside the city, there were numerous street vendors and countless cultivators occupying mountaintops.

However, the risks outside and inside the city were vastly different.

Of course, if the Lin Family's treasures were compared with those of Fengxing Commercial Alliance, they would seem insignificant.

This time, Fengxing Commercial Alliance had treasures such as a Fourth Rank pure-blooded Wind Scaled Python cub, five or six Fourth Rank magical artifacts, a recipe for a pill that enhanced the cultivation of Purple Mansion cultivators, and it was said they even had secret techniques for sale.

This was why Lin Shiming insisted on personally attending the auction.

It was a matter of utmost importance. Nine Dragon Island was also setting traps for him from the shadows.

Whether or not to bid on the Wind Scaled Python and the price to bid would only become clear after seeing it in person.

Moreover, it would be best if the system prompt also indicated it.

Otherwise, not bidding would show that the Lin Family had something to fear. Would a lineage known for their spirit snakes not bid on a Wind Scaled Python?

Yet, bidding too high would reveal overwhelming desire from the Lin Family!

The right balance needed to be struck with great care.

In the center of the market stood a five-story tower, so large that just one floor could seat a thousand people, and it had second, third, fourth, and fifth floors as well.

Each corresponding to the private box seats of True Persons.

Naturally, True Persons wouldn't appear here this time; at such realms, they participated in exclusive True Person trade events which rarely took the form of auctions, for they were hardly in need of Spirit Stones.

After checking out the auction, Lin Shiming entered the adjacent Lin Family Restaurant.

In a room on the third floor, Lin Xianzhi and Lin Shijie had long been waiting!

"Uncle Ancestor, elder brother!"

"Shiming is here, have a seat!" Lin Xianzhi spoke, while Lin Shijie poured a cup of Emerald Orchid tea for Lin Shiming.

The fragrance of the tea filled the entire room.

Once Lin Shiming was seated, Lin Xianzhi immediately activated the room's isolation formation.

As the Spirit Light covered the entire room, Lin Xianzhi's originally relaxed expression turned serious.

"Shiming, Nine Dragon Island is becoming highly suspicious of us, constantly probing!"

"Their overseer in charge of the auction, named Yun Chengzi, a Purple Mansion Late Stage cultivator, has been incessantly inquiring whether our Lin Family is willing to sell spirit snakes and if we want to buy spirit snake secret techniques."

Lin Xianzhi didn't hesitate and went straight to discussing the critical issue of the whole matter.

The Lin Family's situation was not good, and the only point was that the other party wouldn't act without evidence; even if they became suspicious, as long as they couldn't see the Golden Dragon Fruit tree, they wouldn't make a move.
