"Have you seen Lin Shiqi?" Despite having thought through it thoroughly, Lin Shiming finally asked.
"We've chatted a few times and enjoyed our conversations immensely!"
"Good, but I still need to ask my third sister!" Lin Shiming ultimately replied.
If Lei Xuan were to marry into the Lin Family, not only would it bring Thunder-attribute techniques, but it would also add a genius cultivator with a rare Spirit Root. Most importantly, it would perfectly solve Lei Xuan's own problem.
Without Lei Xuan, they couldn't find the Yellow Grade Secret Realm, and to make Lei Xuan guide them, they must swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao not to kill him.
This would certainly leave behind hidden dangers.
Of course, as the Family Head of the Lin Family, he also faced more dangers and had to be more cautious of the Zhang Family.
But in reality, for the Lin Family, ever since the Yellow Grade Secret Realm became involved, they were destined to be even more cautious.
"Elder, please release my seal, and I will immediately inscribe the Secret Technique!" Lei Xuan said, clearly delighted and promptly spoke up.
"There's no hurry, my third sister hasn't agreed yet!"
"Shiqi has already agreed before!" Lin Shiming said with a somewhat unusual smile at the corner of his mouth as he saw Lei Xuan's eagerness.
All of a sudden, an image of Lin Shiqi came to his mind. He hadn't expected that his third sister's heart would be captured within a mere half month.
As expected, Lin Shiqi, who was waiting outside, knocked on the door, as if she had been standing by the whole time.
"Family Head!" Lin Shiqi greeted Lin Shiming.
Lin Shiqi no longer appeared as capricious as she was a decade ago; instead, her hair was now put up in a bun.
"My feelings for Xuan Lang are genuine."
"Third sister, are you sure you understand him?"
Lin Shiqi nodded.
"Alright, so be it!" Seeing this, Lin Shiming shook his head and turned towards Lei Xuan.
"You're a smart man, you should know what should and what should not be done!"
Lin Shiming released Lei Xuan's binding, who then inscribed the location and map of the Secret Realm, and at the same time, the Thunder-attribute techniques.
For him, the most reliable judgment was of the Thunder-attribute techniques.
At the moment, whether or not Lei Xuan had deceived Lin Shiqi, if there were any errors with the techniques and the map, his system would likely alert him.
"No problem, it seems Lei Xuan has no other choice, just as we have none. Besides, I see that his feelings for the third sister are genuine," Lin Shiming replied. Then, seeing that Lin Yuqing wanted to say more, he spoke again:
"Even if Lei Xuan truly harbors ill intentions, does Grandfather really think that Shiming would not be able to control Lei Xuan? When the time comes, Shilei will have grown strong enough to suppress Lei Xuan as well!"
Lin Shiming's words were not without reason, as he now possessed the Body Refining Technique Mountain Ape Body Refining Technique, the consciousness-tempering Secret Technique, and the Spirit Refinement Secret.
He only needed to consolidate his cultivation for ten years, and he would be able to make great strides.
With absolute strength at his disposal, he felt confident that there was nothing to worry about.
After Lin Yuqing left, Lin Shiming then reported the news to Lin Xianzhi.
The latter nodded his head repeatedly, obviously quite satisfied with this decision.
In this way, not only was the issue of how to induct Lei Xuan into the Lin Family's Family Jade Book resolved, preserving the secret of the Secret Realm, but the family also gained a genius.
As Lin Shiming's Great Uncle Seven, Lin Xianzhi was even looking forward to what kind of talent the progeny of Lei Xuan and Lin Shiqi would have.
As for the enemy Lei Family, once they had sufficient strength, the Lin Family might even help Lei Xuan resolve his inner turmoil.
With the affirmation from his Great Uncle Seven, Lin Shiming had no more doubts in his heart.
Due to Lei Xuan's identity, however, the wedding was not announced with great fanfare but was celebrated in a small ceremony by the various elders.
Lei Xuan had truly married into the Lin Family from the Lei Family.
From there on, he was a member of the Lin Family, bound by both the Family Jade Book and an oath to the Heavenly Dao.
Three days after the celebration ended, the candidates for entering the Secret Realm were finally decided.
This time, for entering the Yellow Grade Secret Realm, the Qi Cultivation Ninth Level cultivators included the Law Enforcement Hall Master Lin Yuqing, the Demon Hunting Hall Master Lin Houyong, the Formation Hall Master Lin Houshou, the Commerce Hall Master Lin Yuzheng, the thirteenth of the 'Hou' generation Lin Houwei, and the fifteenth Lin Houxuan.
Aside from the Artifact Refining Hall Master Lin Yutie, nearly all the Qi Cultivation Ninth Level elders applied to enter the Yellow Grade Secret Realm.
The Qi Cultivation Eighth Level included Lin Shitao, Lin Houyuan, Lin Shiyi, and Qi Cultivation Seventh Level included people like Lin Shiyu.
A total of thirteen people.
This time, the Lin Family was mostly sending its upper echelons not only to maintain secrecy but also because it was the first opening of the Yellow Grade Secret Realm in thirty years. There were concerns about the strong power of the Demonic Beasts inside, fearing that if family cultivators were not strong enough, they might fall within the Secret Realm.
Before setting off, the Lin Family also announced an Elders' Contest.
With the activation of the Mountain Protection Array, even the cultivators who were called back from various places were not allowed to leave.
