Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

Chapter 17: Obtaining a Young Demon Monkey Again

With Lin Houyuan's words, the faces of the Lin Family disciples finally showed a slight improvement.

Two second-rank late-stage demon monkeys have appeared in Peach Blossom Valley; that's not as simple as the second-rank intermediate grade spirit vein previously mentioned by Lin Shiming—it must be at least a second-rank superior grade spirit vein.

And as a second-rank superior grade spirit vein, it naturally contains more than just Spirit Peach Trees and Spiritual Wine.

The phrase from Lin Houyuan that the gains would be their own, how could it not please them?

Lin Shiming, Lin Shiqi, and other 'Shi' generation cultivators walked together, discussing for a while before preparing to explore separately.

Peach Blossom Valley is not large, but it is also not small.

However, before this, Lin Shijie and others also expressed great interest in Lin Shiming, and their opinion of the Qing Mu Art, which they once considered a method for the elderly, changed completely.

"There is no completely weak cultivation technique in the world, if there is, it's because the cultivator hasn't utilized it fully," said Lin Shiming, plunging several into deep thought with his words.

Indeed, there is no strongest cultivation technique!

Only the most suitable cultivation technique!

For example, letting Lin Shijie cultivate such a slow and prolonged method does not suit his impetuous and sweeping nature; it would be impossible for him to cultivate in a manner so smooth and unobstructed, and reach the eighth level of Qi Cultivation by the age of 25.

The 'Hou' generation also entered Peach Blossom Valley with Lin Houwei being the first to rush in. Although the Spiritual Wine must be handed over, taking a tiny sip was something the family would not pursue.

Lin Shiming also parted with Lin Shiqi in the end and entered Peach Blossom Valley on his own.

As he entered Peach Blossom Valley, the system prompt appeared again.

"Please head north to find a warm cave, and you will obtain a demon monkey cub with enormous potential!"

The system's prompt made Lin Shiming happy again—a demonic beast cub with huge potential.

Lin Shiming couldn't help but think of those two red-haired demon monkeys!

Just right, two making a pair; the chances were high that their cub might have great potential!

Lin Shiming suppressed his excitement. His interest in exploring Peach Blossom Valley surged, as a demonic beast cub with such great potential clearly held the highest value.

Along the way, Lin Shiming directly controlled his Flying Sword, gliding through the Peach Blossom Forest.

Approximately half an hour later, Lin Shiming stopped next to a cliff.

The cliff was over thirty meters tall, surrounded by steep rocks, perilous and rugged!

In the middle of the cliff, there was a cave entrance three meters high.

"This must be the cave indicated by the system," Lin Shiming scanned with divine sense and found no clan members inside.

So, he controlled his Flying Sword to fly up, directly into the cave.

The cave was very tall, clearly to prevent other demonic beasts from entering.

For a red-haired demon monkey with its jumping ability, this cave was a minor matter.

Upon entering the cave, Lin Shiming found it to be extremely spacious, even if four or five people entered side by side, it wouldn't seem crowded, and the rocks on both sides were as smooth as if they had been split by swords.

Lin Shiming's interest grew immediately—it seemed that cultivators had stayed in this cave before.

At the end of the cave, there was a large hall about ten meters in size; the red-haired demon monkey also clearly lived here.

As he stepped into the hall, Lin Shiming felt an incredibly pure spiritual energy hitting his face.

Lin Shiming couldn't resist taking a breath in, and the Qing Mu Art automatically started refining it.

Just this one breath made his Minor Circulation run twenty percent faster.

"Such pure spiritual energy, could it be that the second rank superior grade Spirit Vein originates from this!" Lin Shiming thought excitedly in his heart.

Lin Shiming looked around and saw that there wasn't much in the hall, except for a small pool about three meters in diameter by the central stone wall, from which a faint white vapor slowly rose.

Spirit Pool!

Lin Shiming's spirits lifted instantly as he understood that this was where the second rank superior grade Spirit Vein lay.

And this second rank Spirit Vein had already evolved into a tiny Spirit Pool!

It was just like the Green Lotus Spirit Pool on Fangmu Mountain, although the Lin Family's Green Lotus Spirit Pool evolved from a third rank intermediate grade Spirit Vein and was home to a large number of Green Lotuses.

Of course, this Spirit Pool was also extremely precious. If some smaller families knew about it, they might take the risk of stealing or, if they put it on the market, it could sell for tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.

However, such Spirit Pools were almost never for sale.

"Ow!" A tiny cry sounded, and Lin Shiming found a nest-like structure in a corner.

A red-haired monkey the size of a child was sitting there and crying pitifully.

Lin Shiming was not unfamiliar with this kind of cry; the Golden Winged Mantises would cry just as urgently when they were hungry.

"It really is a Red-haired Demon Monkey's baby!" Lin Shiming approached the demon monkey and saw that it looked exactly like a Red-haired Demon Monkey, only miniaturized to a tenth of the size.

The little demon monkey stared at Lin Shiming, visibly stunned for a moment, then its small face changed swiftly, becoming ferocious, as it bared its tiny milk teeth and continuously waved its little claws.

However, to Lin Shiming, this ferocity seemed almost adorably aggressive!

Lin Shiming watched with interest and then, like feeding the Golden Winged Mantises, he took out a Jade Bowl and poured in a strand of Spirit Water.

Still, the little monkey kept baring its teeth and screeching menacingly at Lin Shiming, clearly uninterested in the Spirit Water, but its body was involuntarily pressed up against the wall, with nowhere to retreat.

Lin Shiming knew that the little demonic beast couldn't be tricked, so he stepped forward and used the Wood Binding Technique to bind it, then clenched his teeth and dripped a drop of essence blood onto it.

The drop fell into the Jade Bowl and he began to form hand seals, as streams of pure spiritual energy started to form a specific array within the Spirit Water.

This was the most commonly used Spirit Contract in the Cultivation World to establish a master-servant pact between a cultivator and a Spirit Beast.

Of course, this Spirit Contract technique only worked on juveniles. The mature or powerful Demonic Beasts had solidified thoughts and mental strength; unless one had overwhelming strength, it would be impossible to tame them.

Lin Shiming's other Spirit Beast, the Golden Winged Mantis, was also bound by such a Spirit Contract.

After forcibly feeding the Spirit Water to the little demon monkey, it fell into a deep sleep, and Lin Shiming casually put it into his Spirit Beast Bag.

Now having two strong Spirit Beasts with potential made Lin Shiming feel a mix of emotion and, at the same time, added pressure.

Another glutton to feed!

Lin Shiming examined the nest again and discovered that the grass in the nest was not ordinary either, carrying strands of pure spiritual energy, and it too was a spiritual material.

Naturally, Lin Shiming did not waste it, collecting it for future use or even to continue making a nest for the Red-haired Demon Monkey.

After ensuring that all the nest grass had been collected, Lin Shiming turned his attention elsewhere, thinking that with two big eaters to feed, he would have to find some income, or he would be destitute!

Lin Shiming then took out a Jade Bottle and collected a full bottle of Spirit Water, about two hundred catties, from the Spirit Pool. Seeing that the pool had visibly shallow, he stopped collecting.

As for the Spirit Pool, it was to be handed over to the family. Lin Shiming had also heard that Spirit Veins could be relocated and transplanted, but he was unsure if the Lin Family had the capability or the technology to do so.

Besides, two hundred catties of Spirit Water, if exchanged for Spirit Stones, would be three thousand Spirit Stones.

After collecting the Spirit Water, Lin Shiming was content, knowing that the Golden Winged Mantis wouldn't need to worry about its food for a long time.

But just as he was about to leave, the Golden Winged Mantis in his Spirit Beast Bag began chirping insistently, conveying to Lin Shiming that it wanted to come out.

"Are there more treasures?"
