Jiuxiao Scatter Man did not immediately take the Spiritual Wine; instead, he spoke solemnly:
"Daoist Lin, before becoming a Tribute of the Lin Family, I must make it clear that I am accustomed to living freely like an idle cloud and a wild crane, and may not always stay with the Lin Family. The Lin Family cannot stop me, but I can assure you that I will stay with the Lin Family for at least twenty years every century!"
"During that time, if I am refining artifacts or teaching the Lin Family Clan members, I will hold nothing back, even if it means passing on Earth Rank Techniques, the Nine Heavens Spiritual Water Scripture!"

"That is of course acceptable!" Lin Shiming nodded. Recruiting Jiuxiao Scatter Man was only a transition, until Lin Shizhong, Lin Houfei, and other members of the Lin Family Clan could refine Fourth Rank Magical Treasures, at which point the need for Jiuxiao Scatter Man would naturally diminish.
Secondly, Jiuxiao Scatter Man’s Cultivation Technique was an Earth Rank Technique. If he could teach it to Lin Houwei, the Lin Family would be completely satisfied and naturally could not ask for too much more.
"Furthermore, in the future, I may also share a great opportunity, the inheritance cave dwelling of a Golden Core True Person, but before that, Daoist Lin also needs to advance to the Purple Mansion Late Stage!"
"Otherwise, that place is not without its dangers!" Jiuxiao Scatter Man added once again.
At this, Lin Shiming hesitated; he was not some greenhorn who just entered the Cultivation World, to be moved at the mention of an inheritance cave dwelling.
Moreover, an inheritance cave dwelling that at least required a Purple Mansion Late Stage cultivator, might even be a place created by some old monster to start a new life or to fish for disciples.
"Daoist Lin, please rest assured, if the information I have is correct, you might even find Gold Condensation Fruit there!" Jiuxiao Scatter Man saw Lin Shiming hesitate and added once more.
The Gold Condensation Fruit was the main ingredient for refining Gold Condensation Pills, and one pill could increase a cultivator’s chances of reaching the Golden Core by thirty percent.
In the entire Eastern Domain, the reason there are no Golden Core Loose Cultivators is because there were no Gold Condensation Fruits available.
"Alright!" With the appearance of the Gold Condensation Fruit, Lin Shiming naturally had no reason to refuse.
He could only make thorough preparations for when the time came.
After all, the Gold Condensation Fruit was crucial to the Golden Core path.
Although Lin Shiming had mastered the Sword Pill Condensation Technique and understood a Minor Divine Ability, without the Gold Condensation Pill to break through to the Golden Core, he still was not very confident.
"Daoist Lin is straightforward!" Jiuxiao Scatter Man gathered all the Spiritual Wine and stored it in his Storage Bag, then took out a Third Rank Spiritual Wine and took a sip directly.
While drinking, he did not forget to pour a cup for Lin Shiming, Lin Houwei, and others.
Then, as if remembering something, he chuckled and added:
"Since Daoist Lin is so forthcoming, I will give you another piece of news: this Transmission Formation also leads to the Eastern Sea. If you dare to stir up chaos among the Flood Dragons of the Eastern Sea, it’s possible that you could avenge the Spirit Art and blood feud from the remnants of the Qingxuan Sect!"
After speaking, Jiuxiao Scatter Man took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Lin Shiming.
"Many thanks to Daoist Jiuxiao!" Lin Shiming also bowed his hands in thanks.
His Divine Sense entered the Jade Slip. Inside, it recorded not only the location of the Transmission Formation, but also a map of the Eastern Sea, including a newly ascended Fourth Rank Purple Mansion Flood Dragon.
If Lin Shiming could slay that Flood Dragon, a beast tide might truly appear in the Eastern Sea, and if the Heavenly Demon Sect encountered trouble, Liu He True Person might really not be able to attend to everything.
He might actually have a chance to obtain the Communication Decree.
Lin Shiming considered for a moment but shook his head. He was not capable of confronting even the avatar of Liu He True Person, perhaps he could try after reaching the Golden Core stage.
Lin Shiming safely stored the Jade Slip and also took out a flask, toasting with Jiuxiao Scatter Man.
And just like last time, Lin Shiming noticed that after drinking the new Spiritual Wine, Jiuxiao Scatter Man’s aura was noticeably brighter and his spirit had strengthened.
After the wine, the four of them casually chatted about household affairs again. As the sky turned dark, Jiuxiao Scatter Man tidied up the table, shut the formations of Jiuxiao Mountain from the outside, and set up a notice indicating he was going on a long journey.
He then collected all the Spirit Plants from Jiuxiao Mountain, and after more than half an hour, the four used the Transmission Formation to enter the Southern Sea’s Fangmu Island, and then took the Spirit Boat towards Shuangmu Island.
On Shuangmu Island, Jiuxiao Scatter Man signed the Family Jade Book, and Lin Houwei went through the ceremony to become his apprentice.
Of course, it was not just Lin Houwei who was overjoyed. Lin Shizhong and Lin Houfei were ecstatic.
As Third Rank Artifact Refiners in the Lin Family, even with a Fourth Rank inheritance, they never had guidance from a Fourth Rank Artifact Refiner.
Now that Jiuxiao Scatter Man was generously imparting his knowledge, and the method of water refinement for Artifact Refining was something the two had never heard of before, it opened a new path of thought for them!
Lin Houwei also began adjusting his cultivation to the Nine Heavens Spiritual Water Scripture.
Lin Shiming then piloted the Spirit Boat towards Heavenly Phenomenon Island, where the Transmission Formation had yet to be activated, drawing a crowd of cultivators.
By the time Lin Shiming arrived in front of the Heavenly Phenomenon Island Transmission Formation, many cultivators were discontent with the Lin Family.
These cultivators were mostly from other outside islands, or even other internal islands’ powers and families, with some backed by Purple Mansion cultivators.
"Shiming, the formation is almost ready!" Lin Houshou came out and transmitted a message to Lin Shiming.
Without Lin Shiming, they didn’t dare to activate the Transmission Formation on their own, no matter how much pressure they faced, especially since the Lin Family taking over Heavenly Phenomenon Island was not entirely rightful and legitimate.
"Fellow Daoists, the Transmission Formation was maliciously destroyed by heretics from the Purple Jade Sect and has only been fully repaired today. Until now, we were also performing tests, delaying everyone’s return to the Inner Islands and their travel plans. The Lin Family expresses its apologies here and also decides to waive ten percent of the Transmission Formation fee!" Lin Shiming continued to pin the blame on the Purple Jade Sect.
The mole of the Half-Flood Dragon was already in place; the Lin Family would not admit that the Formation was sabotaged by a member of the Lin Family Clan.
And upon hearing that the Transmission Formation fee would be reduced by ten percent, the cultivators finally felt satisfied. Explore more stories with freewebnovel
