Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

The fledglings of the Sea Cloud Bird had grown to the size of a calf, scampering across the ground and flapping their wings incessantly, their sharp screams resembling fierce and malevolent spirits.

Glimmers of Spirit Light twinkled on their wings, yet they were too small, their feathers not fully grown, and they couldn't muster the Wind Blade, all the nascent power dissolving into a green glow and fading away.

In an instant, they became the center of everyone's attention, leaving Lin Shilei's Thunder Turtle all but ignored.

Though lightning attribute Spirit Beasts were rare, wind attribute avian Spirit Beasts were not commonplace either.

Moreover, the latter had a somewhat more appealing appearance than the former.

In a moment, everyone gazed eagerly at Lin Shiming.

Wanting to speak, yet harboring some concerns!

The rarity of a Sea Cloud Bird Spirit Beast was not something that could be compared with Water Spirit Coconuts.

"Sure!" Lin Shiming replied with a smile.

Counting the unhatched eggs, there were a total of eleven Sea Cloud Birds, and since Lin Houyuan, Lin Shiyi, and others who returned from the White Leaf Continent already had their Spirit Beasts, those without were fully invested in their cultivation and had no time to rear Spirit Beasts.

Therefore, these ten Sea Cloud Birds were within reach for those participating in the internal competition.

Especially for the rewards for the five champions, each one would receive a bird directly.

"Zecheng, you may choose one as a family reward!" Lin Shiming spoke again.

"Thank you, Family Head!" Lin Zecheng's eyes sparkled, visibly moved at this moment.

He then began scrutinizing the eggs of the Sea Cloud Bird.

He certainly coveted the fledglings of the Sea Cloud Bird, but he understood that those uncles and seniors rightfully deserved the larger fledglings.

"The rest of you will also have two chances, but they will have to be exchanged with contribution points!" Lin Shiming then turned his gaze towards the remaining clan members of the 'Shi' generation.

He needed to reserve at least three Sea Cloud Birds; first of all, he wanted to give one to his older brother Lin Shijie.

Considering Lin Shijie's Demonic Beast was likely the Qing Feather Peng he had purchased together in the market of Qingxuan City, it wasn't even worth a Third Rank.

Furthermore, he intended to prepare one each for Lin Shitao and his fifth uncle.

"Thank you, Family Head!" exclaimed Lin Shijin and others who didn't make it into the quintet of champions, clearly overjoyed.

Especially Lin Shijin, given the chance to exchange, being a Talisman Maker, no one in the family could surpass his contribution points.

It was known that for some of the family's market shops, certain exquisite Spirit Talismans were purchased from outside, but a majority of them involved his participation, not to mention the Teleportation Talisman this time.

As for the other cultivators, they also understood at this point that Sea Cloud Birds were extremely precious, and the family offering them in exchange was already exceptionally generous.

It mattered little if they couldn't get one; they would still have a share of the Profound Water Turtles and Green Shell Crabs, albeit a lower grade, but still a reward from this mission.

Placed in the context of the Lin Family of Fangmu Mountain, it was enough to evoke envy for a long time.

However, just as everyone was radiating joy,

Lin Shiming's expression suddenly shifted:

"Of course! I must caution you that the matter of the island this time must not be discussed with anyone, not even your parents or family members!"

"All actions this time are credited to Qingyun Mountain, and any talk about the island's Demonic Beasts must not reach Fangmu Mountain!"

"Moreover, all Water Spirit Coconuts must be blended into Mingxin Tea to obscure their true nature before they can be introduced to Fangmu Mountain!"

"Anyone who disobeys will be dealt with by the clan rules, and none shall be spared!"

As Lin Shiming's voice rose with utmost severity, everyone was jolted to sharp awareness.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Apart from Lin Zecheng and Lin Shilei, the others had been cultivating for not an insignificant time, and at this moment, they also understood, if this matter leaked out, it would be a catastrophic disaster for the Lin Family.

Even a Purple Mansion cultivator could not retain possession of the Transmission Formation, much less a bounteous island like this one.

"Lastly, the family needs cultivators to stay as guards on Shuangmu Island, with salaries equivalent to that of a Deacon!"

The name Shuangmu Island was given by Lin Xianzhi, alluding to the 'Lin' of the Lin Family.

"Yes!"

After Lin Shiming finished speaking, the cultivators responded in unison.

Seeing this, Lin Shiming turned his gaze back to Lin Xianzhi.

Upon witnessing the latter shake his head, indicating there was nothing to add, Lin Shiming waved his hand to signal the dismissal, and for the remaining arrangements and affairs, he delegated them to Lin Yuqing.

The former Great Elder, who had often appeared worried, now looked upon the thriving family with a smile on his face.

But seeing that everyone still appeared too at ease, his expression turned stern.

"To be in such a state after obtaining a bit of resources, where is your mind-set?"

"How can you seek the Tao like this?"

"I hope you don't forget your original aspirations and continue to forge ahead. The path of cultivation has never been about resources and talent alone!"

"You should learn more from the Family Head!"

"Alright, moving on..."

Following Lin Yuqing's arrangements, the Lin Family began to establish itself on Shuangmu Island definitively.

...

Atop the mountain peak, the refreshing sea breeze blew, lifting the long hair of Lin Shiming and Lin Xianzhi.

Lin Xianzhi stared calmly at the endless expanse of the sea surface, illuminated by the moon above, merging with the boundless void.

The sea and sky were of one color, with the Milky Way hanging high above!

However, he soon shook his head as if mocking himself.

Turning to Lin Shiming:

"Shiming, do you know what I just saw?"

"I fancied I saw our family's Spirit Boat forging ahead on the ocean, the entire sea domain marked with the Lin Family's name, accompanied by the Sea Cloud Birds with spreading green glow and the surrounding Profound Water Turtles."

Finishing his speech, Lin Xianzhi was somewhat emotional.

"I truly wish to witness that day, but I suppose my seventh uncle ancestor will have no chance to see it. Shiming, the future exploration and legacy of our family will all have to be entrusted to you!"

His words were laced with regret, but his regret seemed to have a hidden implication!

"Seventh uncle ancestor, are you worried about the Profound Grade Secret Realm expedition in five years?" Lin Shiming continued without waiting for a response from Lin Xianzhi.
