Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints-Chapter 614 - 392: The Three Leaderboards, Lin Family Plan (Two in One) _2
```
"Shiming, the family has decided to sponsor a higher-tier Magic Artifact for the cultivators who will fight, and for the cultivators with exceptional cultivation techniques, Dual Spirit Roots, and family support, sponsor two higher-tier Magic Artifacts, as well as one Lifesaving Talisman. The exchange rates for Array Plates and Talisman Artifacts will also be reduced by eighty percent!"
"Do you see anything that needs to be optimized?" Lin Houyuan also asked.
He then looked at the others.
If anyone had any opinions, they were welcome to share them.
Of course, this was all for those who had just returned from Myriad Snakes Island like Lin Shiming and Lin Houshou.
Lin Shiming nodded in agreement; the decisions made by the Lin Family were indeed quite good.
The use of even one tier-higher Magic Artifact was possible; the Lin Family, having plundered the Purple Jade Sect and the Duan and Cheng Families, could certainly afford this, and now was the perfect time to digest and convert it into combat power.
After all, the strength of the Lin Family had grown explosively.

The Cultivators of the ’Hou’ and ’Shi’ generations possessed impressive combat abilities.
However, the combat abilities of the ’Ze’ generation Cultivators and those from the ’Yan’ generation were somewhat lacking.
This was despite the Lin Family’s triennial clan competition.
Otherwise, the combat abilities of the lower-level cultivators within the Lin Family would be even poorer.
This issue was a common problem for any Cultivator Family growing in strength; without decades, if not centuries, it was difficult to turn things around.
This beast tide was a crisis, but also an opportunity.
"Father, I fully support this reward policy. Additionally, I suggest that the Cultivators within our family specialized in Formation should also join the battle lineup!"
"A family’s Demonic Beast Hunting Squad should be led by a Purple Mansion cultivator from our family. This squad will be divided into six Foundation Establishment teams; each Foundation Establishment team must have one Supreme Grade Third Rank Spirit Boat. The Demonic Beast Hunting Squad must have one War Treasure Ship. Additionally, each Foundation Establishment team should include two Foundation Establishment cultivators and must use the Spirit Controlling Seal to control enough Third Rank Demonic Beasts! Each team and squad must also have the assistance of an Array Master!"
"At the same time, the cultivation of the Tribulation Forging Divine Flower should be a priority for the family, and we should purchase more to provide for our Foundation Establishment cultivators practicing the Tribulation Forging Divine Technique, to enhance Divine Sense and control over beasts. Additionally, cultivators of Wood Attribute Techniques can popularize the Heavenly Wood Spirit Cultivation Secret Technique..."
Lin Shiming proposed suggestions one by one; after he finished, Lin Shijie, Lin Houshou, and others also shared their thoughts.
It took a good half a day before everything was completely settled.
And as they were leaving, Lin Shiming spoke up again:
"Father, this time we acquired more than four thousand Spirit Snake Demonic Beast eggs. The family should buy them all and then distribute one to each Cultivator who participates in the battle!"
"Good!" Lin Houyuan’s eyes lit up, not expecting Lin Shiming and the others to have reaped such a bounty.
As Spirit Beasts, Spirit Snakes could be used in both sea and land combat and were excellent in actual combat.
Their cultivation value need not be overstated; after all, Lin Shiming’s Poisonous Dragon evolved from a Horned Python, and many Cultivators in the Lin Family recognized that Spirit Snakes had the potential to transform into Pythons or Dragons!
The intensity of their cultivation would therefore be greater.
For Lin Shiming, as long as they cultivated valuable Spirit Snake eggs, or his system indicated the presence of Spirit Snake eggs, he could assist in their cultivation within the Flood Dragon Nest.
Most crucially, following this battle, the Lin Family’s reputation as a family of snake tamers would spread far and wide.
In time, it would become even easier for the Lin Family to acquire Spirit Snakes with exceptional talents.
After discussing family matters, Lin Shiming took out several Storage Bags, preparing one for each Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the family as well as those entrusted by Lin Houyuan, who the family supported.
Among them, the Magic Artifacts and Magical Treasures were the finer ones from his spoils of war.
For Lin Houyuan, Lin Houshou, Lin Shijie, and a few others with better talent or whom he was particularly close to, there was also a Boundary-breaking Talisman.
In the end, he kept only three of the more than a dozen Boundary-breaking Talismans for himself.
Since there was a Purple Mansion list and a Foundation Establishment list, there were bound to be some cultivators with malicious intent.
Demonic Beasts were straightforward, but if his family’s Cultivators were trapped by other cultivators’ Formation Artifacts, their deaths would be truly wrongful.
He had encountered this many times, but it was less common for other members of the Lin Family.
They had entered Secret Realms a few times, but it was always just the Lin Family, with no other families involved.
After distributing the treasures, Lin Shiming held Lin Houshou back.
"Second uncle, in the next ten years, you may need to intensify your study of formations. Your Divine Sense should rival that of the Purple Mansion, and your proficiency in Formations should successfully advance to at least the peak of the Inferior Grade Fourth Rank, or even Intermediate Grade Fourth Rank," Lin Shiming said.
"Shiming, this..." Lin Houshou hesitated, already doubtful about becoming a Fourth Rank Array Master, let alone reaching the peak of the Inferior Grade Fourth Rank or even the Intermediate Grade Fourth Rank. However, seeing the seriousness on Lin Shiming’s face, he refrained from outright refusal.
But his reluctance was clear.
"Second uncle, don’t worry. The Tribulation Forging Divine Pill of the family will be available to you without condition. Furthermore, here is a piece of Ziji Tan!" Lin Shiming handed over the Ziji Tan to Lin Houshou.
And he proceeded to explain the effects of the Ziji Tan to him.
```
This immediately made Lin Houshou shiver involuntarily.
"Shiming, this is too valuable!"
"Second Uncle, listen to me, this is about whether the Lin Family can truly become a Golden Core Family!" Lin Shiming spoke earnestly.
"Besides, Second Uncle, you must keep this matter to yourself today, even from other cultivators in the family, you must do so under the pretext of breaking through the peak of Foundation Establishment!" Lin Shiming continued with utmost seriousness.
"You only need to spend these ten years improving your Divine Sense and studying Fourth Rank formations as much as possible!"
"As for what comes after, I will help you!"
After hearing Lin Shiming speak this way, Lin Houshou nodded heavily. Although he still had some doubts about himself,
since Lin Shiming had said so, he must put forth his utmost effort.
He never forgot that if it weren’t for the Dragon Blood Pill offered by Lin Shiming, he might already be a handful of yellow soil.
Nor had he forgotten that, if it weren’t for the Blood Demon Body Refinement technique given by Lin Shiming, he might have died on Shuangmu Island, let alone learned Buddhist Law afterward.
For the family, for Lin Shiming, he was willing to do it all!
If there is a Dao in immortal cultivation, then his Dao now is that of assisting immortals!
"Second Uncle, please!"
"Rest assured!" Lin Houshou had never seen Lin Shiming with such a tone, and this made his heart even more resolute.
Lin Shiming, seeing Lin Houshou nod, felt relieved at last. The Flood Dragon Nest and the Purple Jade Tower were both extremely important.
These were the real deciding factors in whether the Lin Family could rise in the Southern Sea Cultivation World,
and become a true Golden Core Family.
After bidding farewell to Lin Houshou, Lin Shiming returned to Thousand Wood Peak. With all affairs settled, the only thing left for him was to assist Lin Shitao in breaking through to the Purple Mansion.
And it was indeed time for him to spend time with Lin Shitao.
Before Lin Shitao’s cave on Thousand Wood Peak stood the peach tree, still bearing, exuding tender green sprouts, its branches all faced towards the sea,
like a young girl craning her neck in anticipation.
Lin Shitao was still in closed-door cultivation while Lin Shiming sat under the peach tree. The warmth from the tree lingered, and on a stone table lay remnants of the fragrance of Emerald Orchid Tea.
Lin Shiming couldn’t help but sigh, not uttering a word, and just sat in meditation under the peach tree.
His back turned to the direction of the young sprouts, facing the cave.
He knew very well that Lin Shitao had already come out of seclusion, with nearly a year having passed since the failure to break through to the Purple Mansion.
The peach blossoms had bloomed and withered again, and under the autumn breeze, the peach leaves were replaced by tender shoots.
It was only probably because she knew Lin Shiming had participated in the Purple Sun Secret Realm without telling her.
Lin Shiming indeed felt somewhat helpless, as at that time Lin Shitao was recovering from her Purple Mansion failure, and it wasn’t a good time to bring it up.
Someone who also sighed for the situation like Lin Shiming did, was Lin Xianzhi on Qinglian Peak.
He was well aware of the circumstances because, two months after Lin Shiming’s passage, Lin Shitao had come to find him.
He could only smile wryly at the matter between the two of them.
The sky was gradually darkening, and the coast’s rocks were reverberating with the increasingly fierce sound of the waves. Lin Shiming continued to meditate, but the next moment, the sound of a spirit pot pouring tea rang out.
A warm aroma of tea wafted over,
dispersing the coldness of the sea breeze.
Lin Shiming couldn’t help but smile at the corners of his mouth, opening his eyes. He thought he might have to wait at the cave’s entrance for half a year or even a year.
"Seventh Brother, tea!" A graceful figure in peach-red garments stood before him.
Without a word, Lin Shiming embraced her in his arms.
"This time, Seventh Brother won’t leave. I’ll stay on Shuangmu Island!" With that simple sentence, Lin Shitao swallowed any words she might have used to blame him, ending with a nod in agreement.
Cultivation was never easy; how could Lin Shiming’s thoughts be unknown to her?
Yet her own thoughts were in constant turmoil.
"In the next ten years, you’ll teach me alchemy, how to cultivate the Spirit Peach Tree, and how to play the zither!" Lin Shiming recalled the scene of his breakthrough to the Purple Mansion and gained a deeper understanding of his own heart.
He knew the heart knot for Lin Shijie was Sword Intent, the promise with his grandfather; for Lin Xianzhi, it was for the Lin Family, for the rise of the younger generation.
But as for the reasons behind Lin Shitao’s failed breakthrough, he knew not much, although he understood the Formation Instrument Manual; it should be known that Lin Shitao was also a Dual Spirit Root genius who breached Foundation Establishment without a Foundation Establishment Pill.
