Within Thousand Wood Peak, dense spiritual lights flickered constantly, illuminating the cave entrance exceptionally bright.
Bubbles kept bursting, rising thick steams of heat.
Lin Shiming lifted his palm, and the Soul-Suppressing Pagoda transformed into a mini-tower, landing into his hand.
The Soul-Suppressing Pagoda was his Lifebound Treasure, hence it was in tune with Lin Shiming's intentions. Having been nurtured by a Fire Attribute Spirit Vein, not only had its power increased significantly, but it had also gathered a considerable amount of Spiritual Fire within.
When suppressing enemies, it could also release Spiritual Fire.
That was another great benefit of nurturing treasures with a Spirit Vein.
Lin Shiming stored the Soul-Suppressing Pagoda within his body and also headed towards Five Flame Peak.
Upon arrival at Five Flame Peak, he likewise gathered another Soul-Suppressing Pagoda, which was also full of radiant Spirit Light, appearing very extraordinary. It was far more powerful than treasures that had not undergone nurturing.
With two Soul-Suppressing Pagodas in hand, Lin Shiming now possessed four of them. For this upcoming journey to the Purple Sun Secret Realm, his odds of victory had substantially increased.
After collecting the Soul-Suppressing Pagodas, Lin Shiming checked on Lin Yanjiao's progress. These days, Lin Shitao had also been in seclusion.
Furthermore, bearing a Spiritual Body, Lin Shiming felt it was necessary to pay attention to her.
He then made his way to Qinglian Peak, where Lin Xianzhi seemed to have long anticipated Lin Shiming's arrival, waiting for him at the Pavilion of Tide Watching.
"Uncle Great Ancestor!" Lin Shiming called out respectfully. Your next read awaits at Freewebnovel
"What can the family do to assist you on this journey?" Lin Xianzhi spoke after a moment of silence.
Others might be kept in the dark about Lin Shiming's affairs, but Lin Xianzhi knew him too well. Since Lin Shiming's return from Heavenly Phenomenon Island, a trace of concern had always been present between his brows.

Seclusion, breakthrough, sword practice, collecting towers.
All these actions signaled that Lin Shiming's forthcoming trip was anything but simple.
"A Fourth Rank Array Plate, Fourth Rank Spirit Jade!" Lin Shiming hadn't expected Lin Xianzhi to say such a thing. He paused for a moment before speaking.
There was no need to elaborate on the Array Plate; for defense and spirit isolation, it was quite important, and the Fourth Rank Spirit Jade was intended for harvesting Spiritual Medicine.
"Additionally, materials from Mantis Demon Beast and Heavenly Beast Grass!" Lin Shiming then took out a Jade Slip and added.
In the Jade Slip were the Secret Technique for Heavenly Beast Transformation and the recipe for the pill.
The Lin Family possessed the Spirit Controlling Seal and the Soul Binding Forbidden Secret Techniques, so the likelihood of obtaining Essence Blood from a Purple Mansion Great Demon was very high. This was a Secret Technique that could enhance the strength of both Lin Xianzhi and Lin Shijie.
Moreover, he did indeed need the latter to gather Heavenly Beast Grass.
"This expedition includes Senior Flaming Sword, so it should be no problem!" Lin Shiming, worrying that Lin Xianzhi might be concerned, quickly added.
Lin Xianzhi nodded and looked out to the distant sea, where raging waves were striking against the rocks, sending up a sky full of spray.
His eyes revealed a trace of unease.
Taking the Flaming Sword meant that the dangers were not simple.
"Be extremely careful, and remember you also have Shitao!"
He then took out a Storage Bag and handed it to Lin Shiming.
Lin Shiming received the Storage Bag and sent his Divine Sense inside, only to find a drop of thousand-year Spirit Milk, several Fourth Rank Spirit Talismans, and three sets of Array Plates within.
The thousand-year Spirit Milk was something the Lin Family had obtained from the Profound Grade Secret Realm; they had a total of three drops, two of which were in Lin Shiming's possession, and now the last drop had also fallen into his hands.
"Thank you, Uncle Great Ancestor!" Lin Shiming mulled it over and ultimately decided not to say the words that if the Jade Slip broke, he would escape.
His name was inscribed on the Family Jade Book, and should death befall him, it would be sensed.
Moreover, the Lin Family had no place else to go; thus, he must not fail this mission.
Lin Shiming also visited the family's Treasure Vault one more time. The new Treasure Vault was also located atop the Lin Family's Qinglian Peak. After putting away the extra second and third-rank treasures into the vault, Lin Shiming piloted the Spirit Boat towards Heavenly Phenomenon Island.
...
Heavenly Phenomenon Island, where the Lin Family now securely holds the title of the island's first family, owns the largest Lin Family Restaurant, the largest Pill Workshop, and the Lin Family Armory.
Especially since the Lin Family recently reduced the fees for the transmission array, an increasing number of loose cultivators and family cultivators have come to the Heavenly Phenomenon Island to hunt demonic beasts.
As such, the business at the Lin Family Pill Workshop, Armory, and Restaurant has also been getting better and better.
The Cui Lan Tea and the practice rooms have even earned the continuous high praise of countless loose cultivators.
Lin Shiming, wearing a spirit-dampening gauze, arrived quietly at the Lin Family Restaurant, and after presenting the Lin Family token, headed straight up to the third floor.
"Second brother!" The door opened, and Lin Shiyi and Ye Yujiao were seen playing with a three-year-old child.
The child, Lin Zechu, was the offspring of both, and since Turtle Spirit Coconut had been used, both had full confidence in Lin Zechu having a spirit root.
"Yujiao, take Chu'er to another room!" Lin Shiyi instructed, knowing well that should Lin Shiming come here, it must be for important matters.
After Ye Yujiao had left, Lin Shiyi quickly took out a jade slip and said,
"Old Seven, take a look at this. Senior Jiuxiao said I must hand it to you personally!"
Lin Shiming took the jade slip, feeling even more certain about the possibility of Xu Ri True Person taking action.
The set of magical treasures previously refined by Xu Ri True Person indeed possessed the effects of soul searching and ban breaking.
And it had a great potential to decipher the Family Jade Book.
This jade slip contained reminders specifically for Lin Shiming from Jiuxiao Scatter Man.
In it, Jiuxiao Scatter Man also urged with unusual haste.
Making Jiuxiao Scatter Man somewhat vigilant.
Considering the system's prompt and the mysterious eyes of Xu Ri True Person, it was highly possible that the latter would act after he emerged from the Purple Sun Secret Realm.
Besides, the San Yang Hermit had also sent people to contact the Lin Family,
inquiring when Lin Shiming would arrive at Xu Ri Island.
Lin Shiming nodded and then took out a storage bag, discussing the true purpose of his visit.
"Second Brother, this Zi Xuan Precious Jade is for you. Display it at the right time, for the auction must still be carried out!" The Lin Family had earlier promised an auction on Heavenly Phenomenon Island, and now the time was almost upon them.
Even if he were not there, the auction had to go on.
"Another is a Great Strength Fruit, which will help your cultivation!"
"Thank you, Old Seven. Second Brother won't say much, but rest assured, whatever you command later, I will not refuse!" Lin Shiyi also said.
Following that, Lin Shiming continued to discuss with Lin Shiyi the detailed arrangements for the auction, most of which he had already talked about with Lin Houyuan, who was responsible for strategy and marketing tactics.
But the Duan and Cheng families of the Heavenly Phenomenon Island could only be dealt with by Lin Shiyi.
Suppression was definite, and when the time came, these two families had to be replaced.
Even if the Lin Family truly tolerated them without taking action, they themselves would develop grudges, and at critical moments, they were likely to deal a backhanded blow.
After dealing with them, it would also be necessary to support the emergence of two new families, for the Lin Family could not simply watch the Ye Family grow unchallenged.
For both reason and emotion, Lin Shiyi needed to be aware of this.
An hour later, Lin Shiming left the Lin Family Restaurant and took the transmission formation towards Xu Ri Island.
Upon arriving on Xu Ri Island, Lin Shiming could not help but take out a token, which emitted a spirit light, revealing it to be from the San Yang Hermit.
It displayed a message:
"Come quickly to Xu Ri Palace to hear the preaching and the rules of the Purple Sun Secret Realm!"
