Having left the Spiritual Medicine Garden, Lin Tianming and his companion walked and chatted.
Although Lin Xing’an’s cultivation talent was only average, his gift for planting Spiritual Medicines was exceptional. The survival rate of the young spiritual medicine plants and various spirit vegetation under his care was extremely high, which was considered a unique technical talent within the family.
Lin Shihua introduced him to the scale and planting methods of the Spiritual Medicine Garden along the way, which excited Tianming greatly.
According to him, the higher the grade of the transplanted Spiritual Medicines and Fruits, the better the soil containing Spiritual Energy needed to be; this was why Spirit Stones had to be added to the spiritual soil.
Following the end of the battle at Luoyun Mountain, the scale of the Spiritual Medicine Garden had exploded, even harboring a large number of Third Order Spiritual Medicines. The enormous amount of Spiritual Energy required for the growth of so many medicines could no longer be satisfied by a Second Order low-grade Spirit Gathering Array.
The level of the Spirit Gathering Array in the family’s Spiritual Medicine Garden was too low. It was the same array which the ancient ancestor had asked someone to help set up when the family was founded, and it hadn’t been upgraded in hundreds of years.
Thus, the act of adding Spirit Stones to the soil to temporarily alleviate the issue of insufficient Spiritual Energy was a helpless move.
At this point, Tianming inquired,
“Twelfth Grandpa, does our family have any promising Array Masters?”
Seeing him ask this question, Lin Shihua’s bitter face tinged red, and soon after he sighed with emotion.
“There’s not much hope in the Xing generation, but there are two clansmen from the Tian generation who have fairly good talents in Formation. They have already become First Order Medium Grade Array Masters. However, this is because the earlier stages are not difficult. Whether they can break through to the Second Order is still hard to say.”
“Formation and Talisman Making have always been weak points for our family, which need long-term accumulation, and we need talented family members to explore it. However, we have made significant progress in these past years, and I believe that in a few decades, we will produce our own Second Order Array Master.”
Tianming nodded, understanding that this matter couldn’t be rushed. As long as the family continued to develop in a positive direction, there would eventually be a clansman with outstanding talent in Formation to make up for the family’s shortcoming.
Without realizing it, after half a quarter of an hour of flying, following Lin Shihua, the two arrived at the entrance of a valley deep within Green Bamboo Mountain, not far from where Tianming often practiced his Divine Skills.
However, in his more than twenty years of life, he had never been to this place. After all, Green Bamboo Mountain covered dozens of miles, and there were still many areas he had not set foot in.
The two paused outside the valley, and then Lin Shihua took out a Token, entered a spell, and opened the barrier to enter the valley.
Tianming stepped forward to follow, entering the valley with him.
Inside the valley, the dense forest and rock walls became apparent, the terrain complex and ever-changing, with a plethora of mundane wild animals running about.
Seeing this, Shihua laughed heartily and began to explain.
“Tianming, this is the family’s Spirit Beast Garden. The Soul-eating Spider almost lives here as well. Apart from it, the rest are mundane wild animals and some Low-order Monster Beasts, serving as its food.”
Upon hearing these words, Tianming’s interest soared.
He had never seen the Soul-eating Spider itself, only hearing about it from other clan members. During the last battle at Green Bamboo Mountain, he was scavenging for treasures with Lin Shilu at Golden Horn Mountain and did not partake in the battle here; naturally, he could not witness its true form.
Just then, a distinctive hissing sound came, and a giant spider appeared in front of the two. It was undoubtedly the Soul-eating Spider.
The Soul-eating Spider moved its terrifying limbs, baring its fangs and claws at Tianming, giving him quite a scare.
Seeing this, Shihua chuckled and took a few sections of Crimson Gold Snake corpses from his storage bag, tossing them in front of the spider.
Only then did the Soul-eating Spider turn around, bite into a piece of Qingxu Serpent Meat, grabbed the remaining sections with its claws, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Watching the direction in which the Soul-eating Spider disappeared, Shihua spoke up,
“The Soul-eating Spider was a Spirit Beast subdued by our ancient ancestor. At first, it was only at the initial stage of the Second Order. Although our ancient ancestor has been gone for hundreds of years and the Spirit Beast contract has expired, it did not leave the family. After hundreds of years of family provision, its grade has also significantly improved to the Second Order’s late phase.”
“Now, even though the Soul-eating Spider has not taken a new master and is free, it has recognized the family and has even defended the family on multiple occasions. During the last battle at Green Bamboo Mountain, it was even seriously injured, but luckily in recent years, our family acquired plenty of Spiritual Objects, and it quickly recovered from its injuries.”
At this, both became solemn.
In the Cultivation World, it is not easy for Spirit Beasts to recognize a master. Once the master falls, and the Spirit Beast regains its freedom, most would leave without hesitation. It was rare to see a Spirit Beast like the Soul-eating Spider.
Although it stayed with the family and accepted the resources provided by the family simply out of mutual needs, during times of family crisis, the Soul-eating Spider played a significant role.
Just for this alone, the resources provided by the family were in no way wasted.
“Twelfth Grandpa, how then should the Qingxu Snake Eggs be hatched? Why choose this place?” Tianming asked.
Shihua frowned and replied without hesitation,
“We are here only to select a place for the Qingxu snakes. I have studied those Serpent Eggs for a whole night. They need a large amount of essence blood smeared on the eggshells, so that the hatched Qingxu snakes will be in tune with you and naturally attached to you.”
“Moreover, hatching a Spirit Beast is a long-term process. To meet the hatching requirements for these six Serpent Eggs, we’ll also need a vast amount of treasures for assistance. At the very least, it will take several months to hatch.”
