Xu Ri Palace, San Yang Hermit walked into the palace from outside.
"Master!"
"You go and investigate this Lin Family!" Xu Ri True Person glanced up, then continued speaking.
"In addition, change his task to entering the Purple Sun Secret Realm!" Xu Ri True Person added another sentence.
San Yang Hermit was startled for a moment, and then looked up with disbelief.
"Master, this is against the rules..."
"Hmph, against the rules? It has been a full seventy years since anyone from our Inner Islands has brought back Spiritual Medicine of over five thousand years from the Purple Sun Secret Realm!"
"Not to mention five thousand years, there are hardly any that are even three thousand!" Xu Ri True Person huffed coldly, extremely dissatisfied.
The Coral Alliance Twelve Inner Islands conference, naturally, was not just a meeting between the twelve island masters; more importantly, it was about the Coral Alliance’s Purple Sun Secret Realm.
For Golden Core Cultivators, the most important thing for increasing their Cultivation Level is Spiritual Medicine of over five thousand years, and once it has reached five thousand years, it essentially becomes imbued with Spirit Intelligence. Whether refined into an Elixir or not, it’s already a great tonic.
However, the Purple Sun Secret Realm is a Purple Mansion Secret Realm, only accessible by Purple Mansion Cultivators, and comes with many assessments.
"Otherwise, what do you think I am keeping Zi Yu Loose for? As long as he can bring me Spiritual Medicine, what does it matter if he’s a spy from another island?"
"If he doesn’t bring any, and dies in the Purple Sun Secret Realm, there’s no loss! Moreover, the Evil Qi in his body is not shallow!"
"Hurry up and improve your Cultivation Level. If you can bring me a few Spiritual Medicines of five thousand years for me, I will gift you a set of Superior Grade Lifebound Treasures!"
"The Centennial Beast Tide is also coming, and the six seas won’t be calm!" Xu Ri True Person shook his head, his eyebrows showing a hint of worry, then waved his sleeve to signal San Yang Hermit to leave.
...
Lin Shiming left Xu Ri Palace, holding a Jade Slip in his hand; he also breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though he had seen many True Persons, he always felt like there was a thorn in his back every time he faced a True Person.
Moreover, when facing Xu Ri True Person, he always felt as if the latter’s eyes could see through everything.
He had many secrets on him.
But fortunately, having passed Xu Ri True Person’s scrutiny, he only needed to register the information at the Coral Alliance’s branch office now and receive the Lin Family’s tasks for the next ten years.
The Lin Family could then truly occupy Heavenly Phenomenon Island.
Participate in the auction along the way, gain some new experiences, then he could return to Heavenly Phenomenon Island to prepare for his breakthrough to the Purple Mansion Middle Stage.
Lin Shiming also felt that his Cultivation Level was honed enough, and with the use of the Red Lotus Pill, he was confident he could break through to the Purple Mansion Middle Stage within ten years.
Soon, Lin Shiming arrived at the Xu Ri Island branch of the Coral Alliance, took out the Token given by Xu Ri True Person, and recorded all the Lin Family’s information in the registry.
The person in charge of registration was a Cultivator at the later stage of Foundation Establishment.
After registration, it was also time for the Lin Family to select their task, which occurs once every ten years.
The task is something that every power, big or small, within the Coral Alliance must complete. Only Inner Island powers can post tasks, and if a task fails, the first penalty is to confiscate Spirit Stones!
If one fails three consecutive decades, then the status of an Outer Island’s master is revoked.
"By the way, I will also take the task!" Lin Shiming spoke up.
"Senior Lin, please wait a moment!" The middle-aged Cultivator at the later stage of Foundation Establishment lifted his head and quickly took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Lin Shiming.
"Senior Lin, considering that your Lin Family is carrying out a task within the alliance for the first time, the difficulty of the task is a bit more challenging, please review it!"
Lin Shiming took the Jade Slip, feeling a bit puzzled, as there was no such rule in the memories of Zi Yu Loose.
Lin Shiming took the Jade Slip, his eyebrows furrowing, as the slip contained a total of ten tasks—each task involved finding Spiritual Medicine, and all the Spiritual Medicines were over three thousand years old.
The majority were actually over five thousand years.
These Spiritual Medicines were rare even in large auctions.
And the tasks previously obtained by the Purple Jade Sect were mostly Fourth Rank Spiritual Mines and Fourth Rank Spiritual Medicines, with most being between one and two thousand years old.
"Could it be they think Lin is easy to bully? Spiritual Medicines of over five thousand years, even throughout the entire Southern Sea and Outer Sea, would be rare to see, right?" Lin Shiming’s tone suddenly rose, and he let out his Cultivation Level.
"Junior Brother Lin, your task was assigned by Master. Once this task is completed, you can be exempt from task assignment for the next fifty years!" A voice transmission came from afar, and to Lin Shiming’s surprise, he turned and saw San Yang Hermit, who was currently strolling over. Read exclusive adventures at freewebnovel
"This Spiritual Medicine also has traces to follow, perhaps it will be Junior Brother’s opportunity!" San Yang Hermit continued speaking, and with a wave of his hand, indicated for the Foundation Establishment Cultivator to guide others.
He then led Lin Shiming to a side hall and invited him to take a seat.
"Try this Fourth Rank Not-Bitter Tea, Junior Brother!" San Yang Hermit first poured a pot of Spiritual Tea.
"Thank you, Senior Brother San Yang!" Lin Shiming also bowed his hands, and although he was not in a good mood, he didn’t want to disrespect San Yang Hermit.
"This Not-Bitter Tea is a specialty of Buddha Island. Furthermore, the Spiritual Tea tree itself is tasteless, requiring an enlightened monk to chant sutras under the tree for ten years before the tea develops flavor!" San Yang Hermit continued to introduce, also taking a sip of the Spiritual Tea.
Seeing this, Lin Shiming also took a delicate sip, and immediately upon tasting, the tea was extremely bitter and difficult to drink, but once it filtered through his throat, it seemed to have a completely different flavor.

This was in line with the state of mind of those monks on Buddha Island.
Moreover, the Spiritual Tea instantly infused him with a surge of pure Spiritual Energy, not only enhancing his Cultivation Level but also causing Lin Shiming to feel that his Divine Sense had improved slightly!
Although the improvement was minor, it was enough to reflect the rarity of the Not-Bitter Tea.
Unable to resist, Lin Shiming took another sip and found that the effect of the Spiritual Tea had diminished slightly, but the taste became more pronounced, the sense of bitterness followed by a sweet aftertaste became even more distinct.
