Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

After checking the storage bags of the four demon cultivators, Lin Shiming took out the storage bag of the Corpse Refining Sect Cultivator, which he had already opened before.

There were one thousand Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones and thirty Superior Grade Spirit Stones inside.

Just from the Spirit Stones, the profit had reached four million Inferior Grade Spirit Stones.

At this moment, even Lin Shiming, who had been prepared, couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Such a windfall, even an ordinary Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator might not have it, right?

It should be noted that even Purple Mansion cultivators use Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones as their circulating currency, yet at this moment, he already possessed a full thousand Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones and thirty Superior Grade Spirit Stones.

Apart from the Spirit Stones, the storage bag of the Corpse Refining Sect Cultivator basically had no magic artifacts, instead, there were dozens of coffins, some containing recently deceased cultivators, as well as half-refined Iron Corpses and Blood Corpses.

Seeing this, Lin Shiming cremated all the unrefined and half-refined corpses on the spot and buried them.

Although he did not object to refining corpses, he still felt a repulsion towards using human corpses for Corpse Refining; as for those that had been turned into refined corpses, he could bring them back to the family. The family had its own Corpse Refining techniques, even if they were only of Yellow Grade, it still provided more possibilities for Qi Cultivators.

If a Cultivator Family wants to grow, naturally it must also diversify, so as to discover more talents.

After dealing with the corpses, Lin Shiming found several Jade Slips, most of which contained records of how to refine corpses and how to temper their bodies.

After browsing through them, there were no Cultivation Techniques for Corpse Refining, but there were some simple Spirit Arts to control refined corpses, and he also found out why that cultivator had two life-bound refined corpses.

The Second Life Corpse Secret Technique!

This Secret Technique, similar to the Heavenly Wood Spirit Cultivation Secret Technique, also allowed a cultivator to possess the functions of a main and secondary Spirit Platform, but the main use of the secondary Spirit Platform wasn't as powerful as the Heavenly Wood Spirit's, and could only be used to cultivate refined corpses.

Still, even so, it was a rather powerful Secret Technique.

Lin Shiming took all the various Jade Slips, as for the remaining bottles and jars, he didn't pay much attention as he mostly didn't recognize them.

Finally, Lin Shiming took a deep breath and took out Lu Changming's storage bag.

The first things that appeared before his eyes were three magic artifacts: a Third Rank Supreme Grade magic sword, the Laiyun Sword, a Purple Gold Gourd, and the Wind-Fire Star Sand inside the Gourd.

In addition, there was a Golden Iron Hoop, two Supreme Grade magic artifacts, and one Third-Rank Superior Grade magic artifact.

For Lin Shiming, this was undoubtedly an unexpected surprise, given that even his seventh uncle ancestor Lin Xianzhi had spent a vast amount of resources to commission an Artifact Refining Master within the Qingxuan Sect to refine a Third Rank Supreme Grade magic sword, which was his only such magic artifact.

And now, he had two Third Rank Supreme Grade magic swords.

Lin Shiming first picked up the Laiyun Sword. The Laiyun Sword was three feet long and entirely blue, with cloud-shaped Spirit Patterns engraved upon it, and its blade was extremely sharp, emitting dazzling white light.

He tentatively touched the blade with his finger, only to see a trail of blood appear the next moment as fresh blood flowed out.

"What a fine sword!" Lin Shiming murmured, and then he infused it with his True Yuan. After putting in a great deal of True Yuan, Lin Shiming found that the Laiyun Sword still remained immovable.

Lin Shiming couldn't help but smile bitterly, realizing that in the short term he wouldn't be able to wield the Supreme Grade magic artifact.

Lin Shiming then turned his attention to the Purple Gold Gourd. The Purple Gold Gourd was fiery red in color, but its surface was inlaid with a large number of Purple Gold Spirit Patterns, making it appear even more noble as Lin Shiming probed it with his Divine Sense.

The next moment, he suddenly had an epiphany.

This Gourd was divided into an upper and lower part, with the smaller upper part being an Intermediate Grade magic artifact, while the larger lower part was a Supreme Grade magic artifact.

This was why at first he thought the Purple Gold Gourd was a Superior Grade Magic Artifact, only to almost be killed on the spot by Lu Changming.

This move was estimated to be undetectable even by someone at the Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment.

Lin Shiming, both terrified and amazed by such an artifact,

was also extremely pleased, although its only shortcoming was that the large gourd used for flying was a wind-attribute Magic Artifact, and the small gourd was a fire-attribute attack Magic Artifact, with slightly insufficient attack power.

But fortunately, the Purple Gold Gourd contained wind and fire star sand.

This kind of star sand would even tempt a Purple Mansion cultivator.

Lin Shiming opened the gourd lid, and the wind and fire star sand continuously circulated between the large and the small gourds, replenishing the previously depleted wind and fire energies.

"The one who thought up this Magic Artifact is truly a genius!" Lin Shiming felt very astounded at this moment.

With the Magic Artifact's combined wind and fire, the wind and fire star sand could only get stronger.

The value of this Purple Gold Gourd was definitely higher than that of the Laiyun Sword.

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Lin Shiming constantly reminded himself that neither of the two Magic Artifacts could be used in front of others.

Then he looked at the Monster Binding Ring: its function was similar to the Heavenly Demon Bag – also a type of suppression Intermediate Grade Magic Artifact. The only shortcoming compared to the Heavenly Demon Bag was that it couldn't contain living creatures.

However, the binding effect of the Monster Binding Ring was stronger. If one was not careful, the Heavenly Demon Bag could be severed with a single sword strike, but the Monster Binding Ring would not.

Lin Shiming also carefully stored away the Monster Binding Ring.

Finally, he looked at the other items in the Storage Bag: there were only a hundred thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones, plus a thousand Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones, Spirit Pills and Spirit Talismans were nearly exhausted, and there were weirdly no Cultivation Techniques or Secret Manuals to be found, which led Lin Shiming to find a strange sheepskin map.

The terrain marks drawn on the sheepskin map were all unfamiliar to him, so he could only put it away for later study, or wait for a system prompt to appear.

Afterwards, Lin Shiming took out the remaining eighty-one gluttonous ants, each now the size of a baby's fist. However, after devouring the wind and fire star sand, these spirit ants started to develop some fiery red star spots on their backs.

The eighty-one spirit ants had also become extremely ferocious, constantly emitting sharp, fierce noises.

It was clear that after devouring the spirit radiance from the wind and fire star sand, some mutations had appeared. But he didn't know whether these mutations were beneficial.

However, feeling that the spirit ants' ferocity had increased and they had grown somewhat larger in a short period of time, he put his mind at ease.

He took out a small basin of Third Rank Spiritual Liquid for the spirit ants to devour.

At the same time, he also performed the Spirit Contract again to reinforce the bond.

After organizing the gluttonous ants, Lin Shiming began refining the Magic Artifacts, starting with the small gourd of the Purple Gold Gourd, and then refining the Monster Binding Ring.

At this moment, without the Tiangang Sword Formation or the Purple Wood Profound Heavenly Sword Formation, he still felt a bit unconfident.

After the refinements, another three days passed, and Lin Shiming had finally stabilized completely. He spread his Divine Sense all around, looking in every direction.

He quickly reached the surface and, sensing no danger, took out an Earth Escape Talisman to begin escaping from underground.

With his Divine Sense fully extended and not detecting any demon cultivators, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been genuinely worried that, during his recovery period, Heavenly River State might have fallen, making this a stronghold for the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Corpse Refining Sect – in which case, his escape would have been much more difficult.

After recalling the direction to Heavenly River City, Lin Shiming also took out a Third Rank Superior Grade flying boat and set off in the direction of Heavenly River City.
