Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints-Chapter 651 - 410 The Way of Hou Shou, Seven Scenery Tower (Two in One, Subscription, Monthly Pass, and Rewards)_2

```

Cultivating the Blood Demon Body Refinement to break through to the Purple Mansion would certainly involve facing a Heart Demon a hundred times more powerful.

This was also a drawback of Demonic Cultivation Techniques, where ordinary cultivators would naturally progress faster, but when it came to breaking through, the Heart Demons they encountered were fiercer than the last.

Ordinary Demon Cultivators would seek out treasures to offset this, or their Sects might possess special secret treasures for this purpose.

However, a genius Demon Cultivator's Dao heart was inherently a demonic heart.

He would not feel remorse for killing, nor find his actions bloody, and thus naturally would not have a Heart Demon.

A Heart Demon is a doubt about one's own cultivation, thoughts, vision and actions!

As long as his Dao heart was one of unrivaled arrogance, intending to slay everything that dares, his Heart Demon would not be as formidable, only his Evil Qi would be dense and his breakthrough slightly hindered!

But Lin Houshou was clearly not like this, as he adhered to Lin Family's ideals and carried on Lin Family's legacy.

There was naturally a great contradiction within him with the Blood Demon Body Refinement Art.

Even though he had practiced Buddha Cultivation Techniques, Lin Shiming was still somewhat worried.

"Shiming, I've thought it over. Once I've finished setting up the family's Transmission Formation, I will go to the family's Mortal Islands and do good deeds. After I have completed a thousand acts of kindness, I will then secludedly break through!" Lin Houshou said after a moment of silence, then spoke resolutely.

Just as Lin Shiming had thought, Houshou was not entirely confident about breaking through to the Purple Mansion, even though his Divine Sense had already made the breakthrough and his Formation Cultivation could even be considered as Intermediate Grade Fourth Rank.

But when it came to the crucial stage of breaking through the Purple Mansion, he still lacked confidence.

Moreover, he differed from others, for whom failing to break through just meant trying again.

If he failed to break through, his Dao heart would collapse even further.

It might even lead to an imbalance between the Blood Demon and Buddha Cultivation Techniques once more.

"If a thousand isn't enough, then ten thousand. There will always be a chance. Moreover, those Mortals who followed the Lin Family to the Southern Sea have suffered too much hardship!" Lin Houshou added.

And Lin Shiming nodded in agreement, unable to deny that Lin Houshou's method was the most effective.

This was also the most common practice for Buddha Cultivators who emanated golden light to test their moral mettle amidst worldly distractions.

Of course, those Buddha Cultivators who were nothing more than showy pretenders didn't count.

Lin Shiming had encountered several Buddha Cultivators who, at the slightest disagreement, were ready to kill, with their so-called salvation of others being nothing more than a pretext for murder.

After a long talk with Lin Houshou, they even shared a cup of Spiritual Wine.

Lin Xianzhi joined them too, and while Lin Shiming, Lin Xianzhi, and Lin Houshou drank quite well, Lin Shiyun and Lin Zelu were much more reserved.

As the evening approached once again, Lin Shiming looked towards the sunset by the sea, covered in a thick layer of fiery clouds.

After three rounds of drinks, everyone departed heavily, and Lin Shiming also relaxed for the evening.

The next day, the sea breeze was still blowing, and the Lin Family held another high-level strategy meeting.

This meeting essentially set the future direction for Jiuyue Island, and Lin Shiming also added two points.

The first was still about strong fortifications and clear fields, but it wasn't only about hunting Demonic Beasts.

The Lin Family also planned to distribute quotas for Formations to the smaller families, instructing them to start setting up Self-Destructive Formations both on Jiuyue Island and on various other large and small islands.

These Self-Destructive Formations were specially divided according to the distribution plans of the markets.

The more lucrative the market, the more Formations they would set up, especially on Jiuyue Island, aside from the Spirit Vein markets and the temporary dwellings for various families and Loose Cultivators, a large number of Self-Destructive Formations could be placed.

Cultivators might recognize the Formations, but often the Second and Third Rank Demonic Beasts couldn't detect them and would instead charge in brashly.

And the Third and Fourth Rank Purple Mansion Great Demons certainly wouldn't kindly inform those Second and Third Rank Demonic Beasts not to barge in.

This way, at a critical moment, they could delay the Demonic Beasts momentarily.

Besides setting up Formations, the Lin Family also began to convene Talisman Masters, Alchemists, and Artifact Refiners to start unified Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and Talisman Crafting.

Naturally, what they were crafting were strategic consumable Spiritual Objects.

Especially Spirit Talismans, which were a weak point for the Lin Family; they provided the Spiritual Materials and some basic methods for crafting Spirit Talismans.

Then they allowed those who specialized in crafting Spirit Talismans to do the creation.

Crafting invariably involved exchange.

The Lin Family could also buy and exchange for unowned Talisman crafting methods.

Moreover, in the rooms of some Talisman Masters, they set up Shadow-Recording Formations which could be used for the family's Talisman apprentices to watch and learn.

If they encountered a capable Hermit, they could also entice them to join the family.

```

These two points also received high recognition from the family.

The policy was swiftly implemented, and the Loose Cultivators and family Cultivators on Jiuyue Island, this time, surprisingly did not oppose it.

The Lin Family, with its vast enterprise, was willing to provide materials for the Artifact Refiners to make Spirit Talismans, which they naturally welcomed, and the idea of Self-Destructive Formations to delay the Demonic Beasts was also seen as very feasible by them.

Jiuyue Island was developing vigorously, while Lin Shiming had already traveled through the Transmission Formation to Heavenly Phenomenon Island.

And without stopping, he then went to Xu Ri Island, turned in a portion of the Water Spirit Shells and Spiritual Pearls he obtained from the Outer Sea, and then headed towards Tianliu Island.

Xu Ri Island has a Transmission Formation leading to Tianliu Island.

...

Upon arriving at Tianliu Island, Lin Shiming saw a giant Tianliu tree soaring into the sky at the center of the island.

The sky was filled with fluttering green willow strands, like the willows by the riverbanks in the springtime of the south.

Only, this willow tree was far too huge, like an island unto itself, floating above Tianliu Island.

"Indeed, this is the true form of the Tianliu Demon King!" Lin Shiming couldn't help but exclaim. The power of the Tianliu Demon King was definitely much stronger than that of the Bai Shan Great Demon under True Person Jiuye back then.

The Transmission Formation on Tianliu Island was also much larger, and Lin Shiming could still see many Cultivators who had teleported over just like him.

There were Foundation Establishment Cultivators, as well as Purple Mansion Cultivators.

The only thing that was perhaps inferior to Xu Ri Island was the tense atmosphere.

On Xu Ri Island, everyone was on edge, and Red Leaf True Person had even launched a counterattack.

Yet on Tianliu Island, it had been ten years since the tide of beasts started, and there were only three prominent Demon-Slaying Bounties posted.

There were no other mobilizations or travel fee reduction policies.

This was the confidence of the upper three islands among the Twelve Inner Islands of the Coral Alliance.

The annual update of the Demon-Slaying Bounties was also the time when the Cultivators of Tianliu Island were most excited to discuss.

And the most attention-grabbing was the Fairy Yulin, currently the number one on Tianliu Island's Purple Mansion Demon-Slaying Bounty.

Of course, what made Fairy Yulin even more famous was her father, Guanghao, a Golden Core Late Stage Loose Cultivator who resided on Tianliu Island and was known as True Person Kuangsha!

He even declared that whoever married Fairy Yulin would receive a Golden Core as a dowry.

This caused the Tianliu Island Purple Mansion Demon-Slaying Bounty to be extraordinarily heated, with five to six hundred Purple Mansion Cultivators competing for it, far exceeding the number on other islands, and as a result, the tense atmosphere concerning the Demonic Beasts on Tianliu Island was nothing like that on Xu Ri Island.

Lin Shiming couldn't help but smile wryly as he walked along; he hadn't expected Hermit Yulin's reputation to be so great.

Even when he entered a tavern called the Seven Scenes Lounge, there were many people discussing the leaderboard and which Purple Mansion Cultivators were most likely to win Fairy Yulin's favor.

He finally understood why Hermit Guanghao had been so eager to make a good impression in the Purple Yang Sanctuary.

Lin Shiming shook his head; he wasn't interested in these matters, but was rather keenly observing the Seven Scenes Lounge. Since the Lin Family also operated taverns, encountering peers warranted learning from them.

He had to admit, the unique features of the Seven Scenes Lounge were quite an eye-opener, with numerous female Cultivators in light and sheer garments walking up and down the tavern, carrying wafts of fragrance with them.

These female Cultivators, each extraordinarily beautiful and dressed in dazzling skirts with pipa, drums, and veils, attracted the gaze of the majority of the Cultivators present.

"Young Master, if you spend fifty thousand Spirit Stones at the tavern, you can take any of the serving girls with you for a night!" said a serving girl standing by, curtsying slightly and speaking softly.

"What kind of tea do you have here? What about Spiritual Meals?" Lin Shiming hurriedly shook his head, guessing the specialty of the Seven Scenes Lounge.

Immortal Root!

This was something often done by families whose lineage was declining.

The Lin Family had once suggested it too, but it was eventually rejected after the discovery of the Turtle Spirit Coconut.

Moreover, with the introduction of the benefits for having more children, the Lin Family now had a large number of new talented Cultivators from the "Yan" generation.

The serving girl introduced each item one by one.

Lin Shiming chose a specialty Spiritual Tea called Seven Scenes Tea and ordered a Spiritual Meal called "Iron Tree Blossoming."

Sitting by the window on the second floor, he then sent out his Transmission Talisman.

Since he came to discuss the alliance, he didn't dare to directly approach True Person Tianliu but preferred to get Fairy Yulin to make an introduction first.

Afterward, he gazed at the view of Tianliu Island from the street, lost in thought.

What he didn't expect the next moment was that he would see Hermit Guanghao.
