Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

Lin Shiming first found a spot not far from the Heavenly Spirit Fruit Tree and planted the Mingxin Tea Tree.

The Mingxin Tea Tree, after all, is a shrub and looks huge on a tea plantation, but compared to the Heavenly Spirit Fruit Tree, it appeared somewhat short and stout.

Having planted the Mingxin Tea Tree, Lin Shiming continued to pour Nurturing Spirit Liquid on it, as well as spread some Spirit Soil.

This tree was a second-rank Supreme Grade Spiritual Tea Tree; not only were the effects of its tea leaves excellent, but it was also the main body of a wood demon, extremely capable of growth.

Moreover, he was also looking forward to using the wood demon's Mu Xin to cultivate the Heavenly Wood Spirit Cultivation Secret Technique to great success.

Having planted the wood demon's main body, Lin Shiming then took out the wood demon's Spiritual Body, which was that tree person. At that time, the tree person's face drooped, and its roots made it seem like a hundred-year-old man.

However, upon seeing its main body, the Mingxin Tea Tree, the tree person's eyes lit up with excitement, struggling incessantly to approach it.

Yet, Lin Shiming caught it with one grab, and the wood demon could only struggle continuously.

"Submit to me!" Lin Shiming directly applied pressure on the wood demon using his Divine Sense's fluctuations.

It was recorded in the basic manual of the Spirit Beast Sect that some Spirit Contracts were also effective on wood demons, which was why the Spirit Beast Sect was able to cultivate wood demons within the sect.

Having previous experience with planting spirits, he was more aware of the wood demons' weaknesses.

The wood demon was still struggling; being a wild wood demon, it naturally wouldn't submit.

Lin Shiming's attempt to apply a Spirit Contract was directly scattered by the wood demon's resistance.

Lin Shiming was not angered, instead, he restrained the wood demon and used a Formation to separate it from its main body.

It could only look at its main body eagerly but couldn't return to it.

After doing all this, Lin Shiming started to practice the Mountain Ape Body Refining Technique right there.

The Demon Sect of Chu Country and the Three Sects of Zhao Kingdom were still waging wars, and although Qingxuan Sect promised five years, the promise was based on the premise that Three Sects could easily fend off their enemies. If the Three Sects showed even a slight sign of weakness, they would definitely force those families to the forefront.

They would definitely worry about those families turning against them at the last minute.

Therefore, Lin Shiming needed to improve his strength as quickly as possible. His cultivation of the Purple Wood Heart Sutra had slowed down after reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The family could not provide him with Essence Pills to their full capacity, and he himself did not have any third-rank Spiritual Honey.

In this case, Body Refining Techniques became the best way for him to enhance his strength in a short period of time.

Body Refining Techniques are different from Qi Cultivation Techniques. Body Refining Techniques pay more attention to the physical body, with the corresponding breathing techniques aimed at the cellular level, further assisted by body refining martial skills— internal refinement and external tempering build an unmatched Dao body.

Of course, this also requires a considerable amount of body refining Spiritual Liquids or Body Refinement Spirit Fruits.

As for Spiritual Liquids, it's not too bad, the family didn't have third-rank body refining Spiritual Liquids, but they had plenty of second ranks. Before this, Lin Shiming also exchanged quite a few.

In the following days, Lin Shiming's life fell into tranquility. During the day, he practiced the Mountain Ape Body Refining Technique to polish his physique. After polishing, he practiced the Purple Wood Heart Sutra.

During this period, he also nurtured Spirit Plants, and every three days, he would apply a Spirit Contract to the wood demon.

Constantly wearing down the wood demon's spirit; the effect gradually got better.

...

Three months passed, and Lin Shiming opened his eyes, two beams of sharp light shooting forth. At that moment, he seemed like a mountain ape channeling purple Qi.

His originally slim physique had also started to become more robust.

"Finally, I have mastered the first level. From now on, I just need to temper my body!" Lin Shiming exhaled turbid breath. Having entered the door of the Mountain Ape Body Refining Technique signified that he had become a Body Refining Cultivator.

However, at the moment, his body's condition only allowed him to physically compete with Demonic Beasts of the early stage second rank.

Lin Shiming got up and once again approached the wood demon.

At this moment, the wood demon's eyes were fixed on its main body, but its entire body was like dried softwood, unable to even stand upright.

This was due to the wood demon being away from its main body for a long time, lacking the nourishment of essence from its main body.

Lin Shiming approached it, and it no longer showed a fierce face to him.

Instead, it already started to become numb.

At that moment, Lin Shiming once again traced the Spirit Contract, injecting it into the Demonic Wood's body.

The Spirit Contract entered extremely smoothly, without any resistance or obstruction.

The next instant, a Spirit Contract was formed, and a strange connection appeared in Lin Shiming's heart.

"It's done!" Lin Shiming was also extremely excited.

With the Demonic Wood contracted, he could find a way to enhance it, to elevate it to a Third Rank Spirit Wood; not to mention the effects of Third Rank Mingxin Tea, even if he could extract just half of the Heavenly Wood Spirit, it would greatly improve his Heavenly Wood Spirit Cultivation Secret Technique.

This would allow his True Yuan storage to increase several times over.

It should be noted that his strength at the early stage of Foundation Establishment owes a lot to his magic artifacts; likewise, his vast storage of True Yuan, several times that of ordinary cultivators, combined with his superior grade Profound Rank cultivation technique, makes his True Yuan extremely solid.

This is why wielding a large number of magic artifacts is somewhat effortless for him.

Seeing that the Spirit Contract was successful, Lin Shiming also deactivated the formation, allowing the Demonic Wood to enter its true form.

As soon as the formation was opened, the Demonic Wood used an Earth Escape Skill and arrived at the base of the Mingxin Tea Tree.

That old face once again appeared on the tea tree, it seemed to want to continue glaring fiercely at Lin Shiming, as if to tell him that even if a Spirit Contract was signed, it would not obey Lin Shiming's commands.

Lin Shiming was unconcerned about the Demonic Wood's expression and chuckled lightly.

This Demonic Wood was born in the little secret realm, and its true Spirit Intelligence was actually no different from a Demonic Beast.

Such a reaction was normal.

But with the Spirit Contract in place and his cultivation level far surpassing that of the Demonic Wood, he did not need to worry about it turning on him.

Lin Shiming had planned to continue practicing the Mountain Ape Body Refining Technique when a Transmission Talisman flew in—it was a Sound Transmission Talisman.

The transmission was from Lin Shitao, but the content made him overjoyed.

"The Seduction Demon Pill is complete!"

He deactivated the formation and saw Lin Shitao standing outside in a green dress.

"Big Brother Seven!" Lin Shitao's fair face blushed slightly as she greeted him with a gentle smile.

She stretched out her delicate hand and presented a small Jade Bottle before Lin Shiming's eyes.

"This is the Seduction Demon Pill refined by Uncle Fifteen!"

"Shitao, thank you for bringing it over," Lin Shiming said, taking the Jade Bottle with gratitude.

"Please also convey my thanks to Uncle Fifteen for me!" Lin Shiming continued, knowing that refining Elixirs with the Formation Artifact Manual puts a great strain on the body, especially since Lin Houxuan is currently cultivating his Spiritual Energy and preparing for his Foundation Establishment breakthrough.

After speaking, Lin Shiming turned and returned to his cave dwelling.

With the Seduction Demon Pill in hand, it meant that his Spirit Ants finally had a use; even the disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect had scrambled for such Spirit Ants at the time.

One could imagine the value of the Spirit Ants.

For Lin Shiming, he did not have the ability as with the true form of the Demonic Wood to wear down the Spirit Ants before creating a Spirit Contract.

But with the Seduction Demon Pill, he could still gain the offspring of the Spirit Ants.

Moreover, controlling such Spirit Ants from a young age to adulthood would be perfect; Demonic Beasts raised from small tend to have no issues with turning on their master, far better than his current situation with the Demonic Wood.

What he didn't know was that Lin Shitao, watching his figure from behind, pursed her lips, clenched her fists then released them, holding back the words she wanted to say in her heart, ultimately choosing not to speak.

It was early Springtime, and the peach blossoms on Fangmu Mountain were in bloom once more!
