Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints-Chapter 758 - 482: Trade (Thank you for the 500 reward from the one who failed in exams but didn’t fail in Conan)

At the mouth of the valley, the autumn breeze was brisk.

The red maples covering the hills were fiery red, like flames.

Lin Shiming stood tall and straight like a pine, while formation flags simultaneously fell around, shrouding the surroundings completely.

After a while, Lin Shiming's divine sense suddenly detected some breezes that should not be present in autumn.

A smile also spread across Lin Shiming's face.

"Fairy Bai Ling, this time, Lin has come with the utmost sincerity, but if you take half a step further, don't blame Lin for being heartless!"

Lin Shiming's smile vanished in an instant, giving way to an expression of indifference, and the formation around him turned into spirit shadows that began to appear at the valley's entrance.

A bright white figure reemerged a hundred feet away from Lin Shiming.

Still with three tails, still unparalleled in beauty, capable of causing the downfall of cities and nations.

Only her cultivation level had evidently reached the Purple Mansion Middle Stage.

"You shameless scoundrel, how dare you show your face?" Bai Ling's complexion shifted slightly upon sensing Lin Shiming's Purple Mansion Late Stage cultivation.

But the fury in her eyes could not be quelled.

If it weren't for Lin Shiming humiliating her last time, leaving a knot in her heart, how could she be at just the Purple Mansion Middle Stage now, weaker than Lin Shiming?

"Fairy Bai Ling is being too serious. Lin is here to apologize for the recklessness of last time. However, seeing that you have come out alone without a single Demon King in tow, it seems your Demonic Race really has major issues!" Lin Shiming looked at Bai Ling and spoke again.

His divine sense detected two Purple Mansion Peak fox demons and the same Four-Tailed Late Stage fox demon that Lin Shiming had threatened before.

Moreover, this sensation was not just his own; the Flaming Sword felt the same.

At this moment, the Flaming Sword was not in the Cave Heaven but in his embrace.

He had thought a Golden Core Demon King might appear, but unexpectedly, Bai Ling, despite suffering a major loss last time, still didn't bring along any Golden Core Demon Kings, otherwise, he could have extorted one this time.

The Eastern Sea might be rich in produce, but in fact, the spirit medicine resources of Qingyun Mountain surpass those of the Eastern Sea.

"Are you insulting our Qingyun Fox Clan for being arrogant in declaring war with the Flood Dragon Clan? But, such matters are our concern, and whether we succeed or not, it's none of your business!"

"Old rules apply, present a Flying Fox Order, and you can trade for treasures with my Qingyun Fox Clan!"

"Still wishing to trade for that wine?" Bai Ling's eyes flickered, unwilling to get entangled in talks of warfare any further.

Meanwhile, Lin Shiming's system alert rang out again:

[Please note that within the Qingyun Mountain Range, the Cloud Flood Dragon is about to make a breakthrough to Nascent Soul!]

Upon seeing the alert, Lin Shiming froze for a solid three breaths.

Feeling overwhelmed, he finally understood why the Demonic Race had taken such actions.

So it turned out to be the Cloud Flood Dragon Demon King, who was on the verge of breaking through to become a Demon Emperor!

In Lin Shiming's mind, a scene from several decades ago flashed—Shen Ji True Person confronting the Demonic Race, back when just the Cloud Flood Dragon's presence within the clouds was incredibly intimidating and it remained unrevealed.

Looking back now, the signs were there from that day.

Nearly seventy to eighty years of lurking, all for this moment of breakthrough.

And unlike Shen Ji True Person, who made his breakthrough known throughout the world,

clouding the calculations of six nations and eight sects only to end in vain.

As it seems now, the Cloud Flood Dragon had at least united the demon clans of the Qingyun Mountain Range and those of the Eastern Sea.

They put up a facade of the Qingyun Fox Clan at war with the Flood Dragon Clan.

Those cultivators who await the demons to inflict mutual damage, dreaming of advancing another thousand miles from Qingyun City, are bound to be disappointed, for what they will face in the end is the sole Nascent Soul Demon Emperor!

At the same time, Lin Shiming also thought of the Nine Spirit Tower, the first spirit cultivator to assist Shen Ji True Person; probably at this very moment, it's by the side of the Cloud Flood Dragon too.

This series of stealthy maneuvers and illusions gave Lin Shiming the same sensation he had in Qingxuan Mountain.

He felt a deep sense of impending crisis.

Fortunately, the Lin Family was developing in the Southern Sea and was in no rush to return to the Eastern Domain.

But, for Lin Shiming, both Kuangfeng True Person and Tianliu True Person had their schemes, and with more Nascent Souls, the situation was bound to become more chaotic.

"Are we trading or not?" Bai Ling asked angrily.

Again, her eyes turned frosty, barely restraining herself.

Lin Shiming stood there, not replying, his expressions changing by the moment.

It was as if he was toying with her, and had it not been for the constant reminders from someone in the shadows, she would have lashed out a long time ago.

"We'll trade!"

"I will only trade for treasures that can help in breaking through to Purple Mansion and increasing longevity. Two jars of Spiritual Wine for a Taiqing Purple Jade Fruit, one jar for a Zi Xuan Precious Jade, and one jar for a Fortune Longevity Fruit!"

Lin Shiming took out the Fourth Rank Turtle Spirit Coconut Spiritual Wine and laid it out in front of him.

The Lin Family had produced quite a bit of Fourth Rank Turtle Spirit Coconut of late, and it had proven very effective within the family.

In the Southern Sea too, it had been traded, but it was far more profitable to trade with the Qingyun Fox Clan and in Qingyun Mountain than for Spirit Stones.

These treasures that could facilitate a breakthrough to Purple Mansion would enable the Lin Family's future Purple Mansion cultivators to reach double digits.

And longevity treasures were also immensely important.

As for his previous notion of empowering the Demonic Race at the human race's expense, Lin Shiming had long since abandoned that—after all, the demons had their own Transmission Formations, and if he didn't trade, someone else eventually would.

Besides, he was committed to the interests of family; his family was in the Southern Sea, and even if they eventually returned to the Eastern Domain, they wouldn't forsake their Southern Sea foundations.

At this time, however, Lin Shiming was actually hoping this little fox would make a move again.

If, without parting with the wine, he could strong-arm and extort as before, it would please him even more.

Last time there was a Demon King chasing, but this time, with no Demon King present, even if a beast tide was triggered, it would have no impact on the Lin Family.

It could even cause the beast tide to flood Fangmu Mountain, cleansing the Zhao Kingdom anew, something Lin Shiming would find even more delightful.
