Half a month later, upon the Qingyun Mountain range, a gigantic golden light sped past and descended upon a small hilltop.
It was the Lin Family's Spirit Boat; evidently, they had arrived at the predetermined location earlier than the Qian Family.
"Hou Shou, set up the first and second formations a hundred meters out," Lin Xianzhi commanded.
Then he turned to Lin Houyong:
"You should also sit down and cultivate."
Lin Houyong had been steering the Spirit Boat this time, and this was to ensure that Lin Xianzhi's spiritual power was always abundant.

As for Lin Shiming at the moment, he was still inside the room of the Spirit Boat.
The Purple Wood Profound Heavenly Sword Formation had reached a critical moment. He saw nine Spirit Swords rotating in the air before him, emitting sharp, piercing sword cries continuously.
In his hands, the true yuan of the Purple Wood Heart Sutra was being cast continuously, merging into the Spirit Swords.
With every Spirit Art he cast, sweat dripped from his brow.
Having been on the Spirit Boat for half a month, he had already failed several times. Fortunately, this was engraving the secret techniques of the Spirit Formation and not true artifact refining. Plus, he had the daily system prompts guiding him.
"Buzz!"
As the Nine Spirit Swords vibrated nearly at the same frequency!
Purple sword light stretched out continuously, and Lin Shiming finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Nine Swords Formation was finally complete.
With a beckoning gesture, the nine Spirit Swords, arranged in a line, shot towards his body.
In the end, they were absorbed into the Spirit Platform.
The greatest ability of the Purple Wood Profound Heavenly Sword Formation's secret technique was that the nine Formation Swords, like a Lifebound Treasure, could be infused and cultivated within the body.
When facing enemies, one only needed to release the Sword Array, which would then deploy the Spirit Formation within it to slash at foes with the Formation.
Usually, cultivators could only cultivate up to three swords at once, but Lin Shiming, with the fake Spirit Platform of the Heavenly Heart, could actually manage to cultivate all nine swords at once without any trouble.
Once this technique was accomplished, the restless heart of Lin Shiming also settled down greatly.
Standing up, he walked out of the Spirit Boat and intended to ask his Uncle for the situation.
However, he saw another Spirit Boat had arrived in the sky at some unknown time.
This Spirit Boat was larger and more magnificent, with the huge flag of the Qian Family fluttering above.
At the front of the Spirit Boat, Qian Bosheng did not show himself. Instead, a young Foundation Establishment cultivator looked down condescendingly at the Lin Family.
"Seems like the Daoists of the Lin Family have been waiting for quite a while!"
...
Lin Houyong continuously introduced them to Lin Shiming, who was committing everything to memory.
Knowing both your allies and enemies is essential, so you're not harmed at a critical moment.
"Prepare for battle!"
Suddenly, Lin Xianzhi spoke up, and both Lin Shiming and Lin Houyong became instantly alert.
The Qian Family reacted very quickly as well.
In the next moment, six giant birds appeared in front of them, spreading their wings and swooping in.
The giant birds were a brilliant red, their feathers like blazing flames. Three of them headed for the Lin Family, and three headed for the Qian Family.
"It's the Fire Cloud Birds!" Lin Houyong's expression turned serious.
These Fire Cloud Birds were Third Rank Fire Attribute Demonic Beasts. Though only at the early stage of the Third Rank, with their mastery of flames, they posed a threat to many Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Lin Shiming unleashed the Purple Wood Profound Heavenly Sword, but at the moment, his Spirit Platform nurtured Nine Formation Swords, so the True Yuan he could utilize was not much, and it was even less than one-tenth of his original strength.
As a result, when his Intermediate Grade Third Rank Spirit Sword slashed out, its power was mediocre.
Compared to the slashes from the Inferior Grade Third Rank Magical Sword by Lin Houyong beside him, it was undoubtedly lacking.
Together, their sword strikes barely injured the wings of two of the Fire Cloud Birds.
The three Fire Cloud Birds immediately opened their giant beaks, and three massive True Yuan fireballs headed straight for the Lin Family's Spirit Boat.
Lin Xianzhi, frowning, glanced at Lin Shiming but said nothing, simply wielding his Green Lotus with a swing of his sword.
With this swing, the sword light overlapped with shadows, and countless Green Lotuses appeared, and the Sword Qi surged across a thousand miles.
With a single strike, he killed all three Fire Cloud Birds.
"Thank you, Uncle Seven Ancestors!" Lin Shiming and Lin Houyong both thanked Lin Xianzhi.
Meanwhile, Qian Ziyun, with a smirk on his face, dashed out alone and took out a blazing flag.
With a wave in the air, he absorbed all the fireballs from the three Fire Cloud Birds.
Then with another wave of the blazing flag artifact, the fireballs turned into even hotter Fire Snakes, which devoured the Fire Cloud Birds.
Qian Ziyun's strength was clearly exceptional, but the three Fire Cloud Birds were no ordinary beasts, and they shattered the Fire Snakes with their giant beaks.
At this moment on the Spirit Boat, Qian Zichu had disappeared without a trace, and when he reappeared, he was already near the Fire Cloud Birds. He held an Intermediate Grade Foundation Establishment Spirit Knife, attacking in a manner akin to mundane techniques.
He slashed at the Fire Cloud Birds with simple knife moves, but under terrifying speed and an indescribable charisma, one of the birds was directly beheaded.
Then, working together, they killed the remaining two Fire Cloud Birds in just a few breaths.
As soon as the battle ended, Qian Ziyun looked over at Lin Shiming with a disdainful gaze, his lips curling into a slight sneer full of mockery.
