Within the storage bag were placed four magic artifacts: a Thunder Spirit Hook, a Black Ape Iron Fist, a Black Bat Cloak, and a Green Ox Crescent Blade.
These four magic artifacts were clearly of supreme grade, and even if they were to be placed in the Lin Family's Treasure Pavilion, they'd rank among the top.
Whether it was the quality of the materials or the master who crafted them, both aspects were impeccable at this level.
Moreover, each one possessed its own unique characteristics.
Of course, Lin Shiming's gaze merely paused on them momentarily, as his interest lay not in these four.
He continued to sift through the storage bag until his eyes rested peculiarly on a piece of green clothing.
At first glance, the green clothing seemed like the ordinary clan garb worn by the Lin Family members.
This was something that every member of the Lin Family possessed.
But he knew better—Lin Yutie would not give him an ordinary clan outfit without reason.
This piece of clothing was very likely a third-rank magic artifact.
When Lin Shiming picked up the green garment, he felt a cool and clear sensation, followed by an astonishing surge of Spirit Might.
Lin Shiming was overjoyed in an instant, certain that it was a third-rank magic artifact!
He tried channeling his mana into the third-rank feathered robe, but as it wasn't True Yuan, he only managed to elicit a faint green glow from the clan outfit before it ceased abruptly.
Far from being dismayed, Lin Shiming was delighted; his degree of spiritual power refinement couldn't even slightly activate it, suggesting that this green clan outfit, even among third-rank magic artifacts, was no ordinary piece.
"Let's call you Qinglian Taoist Robe," Lin Shiming said, satisfied as he put away the Qinglian Taoist Robe, before testing out the four supreme grade magic artifacts.
Only then did he contentedly sit down to cultivate.
In the path of cultivation, years pass like moments. Another two months went by.
Lin Shiming emerged from his cultivation chamber to see that the stone chamber of the Golden Winged Mantis was still undisturbed.
However, the Red-haired Demon Monkey and the Golden Luan Eagle ran towards him, circling from left and right.
The Red-haired Demon Monkey howled, its eyes whirring towards Lin Shiming's storage bag.
Seeing this, the Golden Luan Eagle also attempted to howl, ending up with a comical sound that was unlike any other.
Lin Shiming couldn't help but smile wryly as he fed the two beasts some Spirit Food and Beast Nurturing Pills, planning to tend to the Spirit Plants next. But just then, a Sound Transmission Talisman flew to the outside of Lin Shiming's room.
He received the Sound Transmission Talisman and discovered it was from the Second Elder, Lin Yuqi.
The transmitted message was urgent!
Without much thought, Lin Shiming flew on his sword towards the Earth Fire Hall.
Today the flames in the Earth Fire Hall continued to surge high, but the air was slightly heavy and restless, it seemed the Cooling Technique Formation had lost its effect.
Inside the Pill Pavilion, it was particularly sweltering.
Upon entering, Lin Shiming saw Lin Yuqi with a head of white hair, looking extremely aged.
It appeared that even spiritual energy could not sustain his vitality any longer.
Lin Shitao was supporting him, her eyes flickering with brightness.
Beyond them, there was no one else.
He left behind an astonishing piece of news for the two of them.
Second Elder Lin Yuqi was going to enter seclusion for a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment!
Not for the Dao, not for immortality.
Just to glance upon the pathway to immortality, to witness the Dao of his youth!
At that moment, Lin Shiming felt frantic. He wanted to stop it, but he simply couldn't.
He then sent a Sound Transmission to his seventh great-uncle, to all the elders of the Lin Family, and finally to Lin Shijie.
By the Qinglian Pool, the elder stepped one foot at a time, arriving at the pavilion.
"The unworthy descendant of the Lin Family's Yu generation requests to use the family's sacred land for Foundation Establishment! I ask for seventh great-uncle's grace in granting permission!"
His loud voice echoed over the Qinglian Pool, resonating through Fangmu Mountain.
Several elders hurried toward the mountain.
Within the Qinglian Pool, a single word quietly emerged.
"Granted!"
Lin Yuqi stepped forward, as if he were a Foundation Establishment Cultivator himself, levitating and landing on the pavilion's roof!
Today, he would attempt Foundation Establishment at the age of a hundred!
Even more so, to look down on all the mountains below!
He who seeks the Dao, what fear has he of death?
The robust spiritual energy returned, gathering more and more.
Lin Shiming was extremely anxious below. He waited for Lin Shijie to arrive, only to learn that Lin Shijie was in seclusion, still unware and continuing to refine his spiritual energy.
He had no choice but to take out a Spirit Talisman, recording the scene before him.
The spiritual energy gathered increasingly. Although unable to make a breakthrough, Lin Yuqi undoubtedly had honed his spiritual energy for nearly five or six decades, paired with the vigor of a centurion.
He almost broke through the Illusionary Trial and the True Yuan Trial in one breath!
And as True Yuan emerged, in that moment, Lin Yuqi's three thousand white hairs instantly turned black.
Lin Shiming saw, in the younger reflection of Lin Yuqi, a semblance of Lin Shijie.
"Foundation Establishment is nothing more than this!"
A heroic voice arrived, as Lin Yuqi roared with laughter to the heavens, only to see spiritual energy gathering from all directions.
Following that came a thunderous boom.
The laughing ceased!
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
"The Yu generation's Lin Shiming respectfully sees off Second Grandfather!"
"The Yu generation respectfully sees off the Second Elder!"
