Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

Beneath a hillside, a stone cavern stretched out.

In the depths of the cave, a Moonlight Stone emitted a soft, moon-like glow.

Under the white moon disk, Lin Shiming released the last array flag, and a layer upon layer of Spirit Light enveloped the dwelling, making it disappear from sight.

Only then did Lin Shiming walk to the center of the cave dwelling and took out the meditation mat he used previously for cultivation.

Sitting on the mat, he forcibly calmed himself down and cultivated the Split Spirit Decision for a while to gather his focus.

But slowly, he fell into deep thought.

He did not go to find Xie An, for he understood, since Xie An was the last to enter the Myriad Swords Tomb, that Xie An was not of the same ilk as him.

The latter's anxious search was obviously because he suspected that the Soul Summoning Sword resided within his body.

Because the last conflict involved five Soul Summoning Swords striking simultaneously.

Others might think it was Xie An's merit.

But Xie An would certainly have his suspicions.

Moreover, if Xie An had also cultivated an external incarnation technique, just like Chen Daoyuan, then Xie An would have one of the Soul Summoning Swords too and would surely know of Flame Yang's existence.

Furthermore, at this moment, he had to face the problem of how to return to the Lin Family successfully.

All this was predicated on not arousing suspicion from the Zi Xuan Hermit.

And on ensuring nobody knew he had been to the Taibai Sword Palace!

Otherwise, the True Person of the Heavenly Sword would certainly expunge their Lin Family.

Lin Shiming's head felt exceedingly huge at that instant. The Soul Summoning Sword, Flame Yang, would not follow their Lin Family. He had no psychological burden about handing over Flame Yang.

After all, it was a Soul Summoning Sword with its own consciousness.

But handing over the Soul Summoning Sword was not that simple.

In addition, as for the secrets within him, the Cave Heaven World could keep them hidden, but he also needed to resolve the secrets of his cultivation techniques.

Lin Shiming's mind spun rapidly, burdened with numerous thoughts, but he could not find an answer, no matter how much he searched.

In the end, he could only enter the Cave Heaven World and seek a solution from Lin Xianzhi.

Lin Xianzhi awoke from his cultivation upon hearing Lin Shiming's situation and found the issue troublesome as well.

"Shiming, the weight of this matter does not lie with you, but with Xie An!" Lin Xianzhi hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"Seventh great-uncle, what do you mean?"

Lin Shiming also came to a realization, suddenly recalling that when Chen Daoyuan was dying, he had told Xie An to take the blame for the external incarnation technique upon himself.

Thinking back on that sentence now, Lin Shiming couldn't help but be alert.

Xie An definitely was not on the same side as Chen Daoyuan!

Otherwise, the external incarnation technique would surely have been taught by the Zi Xuan Hermit.

Chen Daoyuan would not have uttered those words; even in death, it would be Xie An who died first.

This meant that the current Xie An, just like him, had learned the external incarnation technique on his own and used it to survive a calamity!

And he was not the supposed inside man of the Zi Xuan Hermit.

Lin Shiming glanced at the Jade Slip in his Storage Bag. He dared not take out the Jade Slip, fearing that others would discover its location. Instead, he used his Divine Sense to probe into it.

Indeed, within the Jade Slip, Xie An didn't talk about anything else but simply wished to meet.

It was only because he had just rushed out of the Taibai Sword Palace and was somewhat panicky at the time that he hadn't noticed.

Having a plan in mind, Lin Shiming felt much more at ease.

Next, all he needed to do was meet with Xie An to basically understand.

Of course, at this moment, he also needed to cultivate the Purple Wood Heart Sutra according to the technique initially taught by the Zi Xuan Hermit.

He had to change the cultivation technique, at least so that no one could spot anything wrong.

Following that, Lin Shiming did not hesitate, for the only difference in the original Purple Wood Heart Sutra was a single route.

He began to cultivate on the spot.

There was still half a month before he left the small world.

In this half a month, he must reverse-cultivate the technique, just like Lin Xianzhi previously did to improve his strength.

To his surprise, the cultivation after reverse-cultivating was just as smooth as before, and just like Lin Xianzhi there was no impact at all. Moreover, when he released a strand of True Yuan, the rich essence of life within made him frown once again.

As expected, this wrong cultivation of the technique consumed life-span.

But the consumption of life-span was not for improving strength, but rather for enhancing the growth of Spirit Plants!

Lin Shiming went to a batch of Tribulation Forging Divine Flowers in the Cave Heaven World, and as he exercised his True Yuan, he watched the initially immature plants begin to bud.

The faster the ripening, the more he felt a stream of vital energy slipping away inside him.

This revelation gave him pause!

At the same time, recalling the incident at the Li Family in Yunzhou and the visit from the Zi Xuan Hermit to the Lin Family, asking about his ability to catalyze Spirit Plants.

The other party clearly sensed his lie but did not expose him. He thought he had fooled the Zi Xuan Hermit.

Looking back, lying was the right thing to do, because the wrong cultivation of the Purple Wood Heart Sutra would naturally consume life-span when catalyzing Spirit Plants. And how could a normal cultivator boast about having a catalysis ability that shortens lifespan?

If he didn't cover up this ability, the Zi Xuan Hermit would grow even more suspicious if there was something wrong with his cultivation technique.

Thinking this way, Lin Shiming became more confident in reverse-cultivating to elude the scrutiny of the Zi Xuan Hermit. His ability to catalyze Spirit Plants, even without reverse-cultivating, was still far superior to others.

As for the consumption of lifespan, within the World Tower, the soul's age was over seventy. Now it seemed a perfect cover for him!

Lin Shiming took a deep breath and continued to reverse-cultivate the Purple Wood Heart Sutra. He had to form muscle memory in the pathways of the meridians; otherwise, he couldn't possibly deceive the Zi Xuan Hermit.

Ten days quickly passed in silence.
