Chapter 1 Lin Shiming

Zhao State, Yunzhou, Xing County. new

Xing County has a vast territory, sparsely populated areas, and many mountains, rivers, and hills.

Among the mountains and rivers, Fangmu Mountain is the highest. It is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. Only its height can be seen, but its peak cannot be seen.

…

At this time, inside a small building inside the peak.

A young man in a white robe stared closely at a glowing spiritual formation.

In the center of the circle is an insect egg as big as a bowl. The egg is obviously ready to hatch, and its surface is already covered with cracks.

With a flash of spiritual light, there was a click, and two sickle-like golden feet broke out of the shell.

Then a pale golden mantis head was revealed.

"It's finally hatched!" Lin Shiming was extremely happy.

What others couldn't see was that there was a line of words in Lin Shiming's eyes.

A golden finger benefit unique to him as a time traveler, a reminder he sees every day.

"Please feed it with the first-level spiritual water, and you will get a spiritual beast that can grow into a third-level spiritual beast, a variant of the green-winged mantis, the golden-winged mantis."

Lin Shiming is a time traveler. In his previous life, he was an unlucky IT otaku. Now he is the son of Lin Houyuan, the head of the Lin family in Fangmu Mountain. He is also the seventh eldest son in the world.

Lin Shiming was very satisfied with this time travel. Regardless of his life experience and status, just by seeing the system prompts, he felt that he had hope of cultivating immortality.

And just because he saw the prompt, Lin Shiming spent ten spiritual stones to buy this half-dead insect egg at a street stall in a textile market.

You know, the Fang Mushan Lin family, as one of the foundation-building families in Yunzhou, currently only has one foundation-building monk.

And an egg that can cultivate a third-level foundation-building demon insect, even if it is put at a big auction in Yunzhou, will sell for a sky-high price that the entire Lin family cannot imagine.

A normal green-winged mantis is normally green except for a thin layer of light gold on its wings. new

The mutated golden-winged mantis in front of him not only had its wings completely covered in gold, but its entire body was also covered in gold.

In particular, the pair of front legs are as dazzling as gold, and the sickle teeth are also huge, making them look particularly sharp.

The size is also about twice as large as the normal green-winged mantis, and it is about the size of a baby when it hatches.

"Squeak!" The golden-winged mantis flapped its insect wings, flew to Lin Shiming's shoulder, and kept rubbing against Lin Shiming with its pale golden triangular head.

Before the eggs hatched, Lin Shiming used his own essence and blood to instill the secret technique of the Blood Pact Array, and used spiritual energy to cultivate the spiritual insects.

Golden Winged Mantis also naturally regarded Lin Shiming as his parent.

Of course, despite being overjoyed, Lin Shiming did not forget the system prompts. He took out a jade bowl from the storage bag, then carefully took out a jade bottle, and poured a full bowl of first-order spiritual water into the jade bowl with distress.

This level of spiritual water is produced by the Qinglian Spiritual Spring in the back mountain of Fangmu Mountain. As the son of the family head, Lin Shiming can only receive a pound of spiritual water in half a year.

And just one kilogram of spiritual water can be sold for more than a dozen spiritual stones. One bowl of it can be worth half a month of hard work for an immortal cultivator.

The spiritual stones around the Yunling Array also dimmed at this moment, exhausting their power.

"Grow up quickly!" Lin Shiming couldn't help but rub the golden-winged mantis's head, his eyes full of expectation.

"Squeak!" In the blink of an eye, the jade bowl had bottomed out, and the golden-winged mantis looked at Lin Shiming with a chirping mouth.

Obviously a bowl of spiritual water is not enough!

Lin Shiming once again painfully took out the jade bottle from the storage bag and filled the jade bowl.

After three times in a row, after consuming almost a pound, the golden-winged mantis sat down on Lin Shiming's shoulder, closed his eyes, and rested quietly.

Lin Shiming took out the spirit beast bag and put the praying mantis in it. new

After the excitement, Lin Shiming couldn't help but start thinking about the future path of cultivation.

The golden-winged mantis was so edible that it required more cultivation resources than he did, which made him quite distressed.

His own spiritual roots are the three spiritual roots of metal, wood and fire. Among the qualifications for cultivating immortals, they are not very good and require a lot of resources.

The Lin family is only a foundation-building family. With his fifth level of Qi training, he can only receive 2 spiritual stones per month. Counting the spiritual water once every six months and the three kilograms of spiritual rice per month, it is only forty for half a year. About a spirit stone.

The reason why he was able to live such a prosperous life before was related to Lin Shiming's ability to see the prompts and his ability to plant spiritual plants. In addition, his father also rewarded him from time to time.

The system prompts are not against the sky. Most of the prompts he sees every day are about how to solve the problem of spiritual planting or practicing skills.

A small number of people saw the prompt that the third-level Ganoderma lucidum plant in the mountain medicine garden is mature. If you go to pick it, you can get a third-level Ganoderma lucidum plant.

Or maybe there is a third-level treasure on the mountain, which can be obtained by breaking the formation at night.

Lin Shiming was speechless and helpless at this reminder.

The best tip is to follow the family elders to the market to deliver spiritual materials and buy the golden-winged mantis eggs.

As for other times, Fang Mushan prohibited Lin family members under twenty from going down the mountain, so there was no warning from the mountain.

After collecting the insect eggs, Lin Shiming began to practice in the room again. The most important thing in cultivating immortality is persistence. His talent does not allow him to slack off at all.

Lin Shiming practices the Huangpin upper-level technique passed down by the Lin family, the wood attribute Qingmu Jue, which can be practiced up to the foundation building stage.

The practice of Aoki Jue is not fast, and it is not of great benefit to fighting skills, but the advantage is that the practice is stable and steady, and it often has miraculous effects when making breakthroughs in large realms.

After every small and big Zhoutian movement, Lin Shiming will feel refreshed and energetic, as if all the mana in his body is jumping for joy!

At this moment, a red light suddenly flashed across the sky, and a transmission note came through the sky.

"Shi Ming, come to the meeting hall quickly!"

…

The meeting hall is located on the hillside of Fangmu Mountain, facing north and south, with an excellent view.

As the place where the Lin family discusses affairs, distributes tasks and entertains foreign guests, the entire hall is made of marble. At the beginning of the construction, many skilled craftsmen were hired to make the hall look more majestic.

Entering the main hall, two middle-aged men were talking, with a trace of solemnity between their eyebrows.

Among them, the younger one is Lin Shiming's father, Lin Houyuan, while the other, burly and muscular, is Lin Shiming's grandfather, the elder of the Lin family, and a strong physical practitioner, Lin Yuqing.

That's right, even though they look very similar to Lin Houqing, they both look middle-aged, but Lin Yuqing is 90 years old.

For immortal cultivators in the Qi refining stage, they generally have a lifespan of about 120 years, and they can maintain their youthful appearance by consuming a little spiritual power.

If you like it, you can even keep the appearance of children. Of course, the elders of the Lin family are basically middle-aged, so that they can maintain their majesty and make their bodies look less old.

"I've met my father, grandpa!" Lin Shiming hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Lin Shiming admired these two elders.

"Shiming is here. Yes, he has reached the fifth level of Qi training. He is only seventeen years old this year!" Lin Yuqing obviously did not expect that Lin Shiming's qualifications for the three spiritual roots would only take nine years to reach the fifth level of Qi training. Generally speaking, The second spirit root genius is only at this speed.

Apart from the surprise, there was also a trace of hesitation on his face.

"It makes me laugh, my grandnephew's cultivation depends entirely on the family's support."

"Not bad, not bad. He is humble and polite, and he practices hard. Master, you have given birth to a good son!"

Lin Yuqing couldn't stop admiring, and Lin Houyuan couldn't stop being happy.

"Master, since Shiming's cultivation speed is comparable to Shijie, then the matter of stationing at Qingtao Mountain..." Lin Yuqing said again.

Lin Houyuan also hesitated at this time. Qingtao Mountain is backed by the Qingyun Mountains, and there are many ferocious beasts. There are even monsters from the Qingyun Mountains that come out and run rampant.

Especially now that the second-level low-grade spiritual peach tree on Qingtao Mountain is about to mature, it is very likely to attract birds and monsters.

Lin Houyuan originally did not want his son to go down the mountain in advance to garrison in such a dangerous place, but Lin Shiming took the initiative to mention to him several times before that he would go down the mountain in advance to participate in the garrison mission.

Moreover, the latter's belief in contributing to the family moved him, and the family did lack enough manpower.

But now it seems that his son is talented enough, and his greatest contribution to the family is to work hard in cultivation and not be delayed by mundane things.

"Father, grandpa, Shiming is willing to go garrison!" Lin Shiming suddenly became excited when he heard about the garrison mission at Qingtao Mountain.

This is what he wants. Sitting on the golden finger of the prompt system, just looking for resources that are obviously unavailable in Fang Mushan has long made him dissatisfied.

He had seen in the prompts what treasures the old patriarch had, but they were useless and there was no way he could steal them.

Now that he has the opportunity to go outside, of course he has to fight for it. There may be danger in Qingtao Mountain, but with warnings, he can predict the danger in advance.

"Father, my practice has reached a bottleneck recently, and I need to go outside to practice!" Seeing that the two elders were still hesitating, Lin Shiming couldn't help but added eagerly.

"Okay, but before going to Qingtao Mountain, go to the clan library to collect a second-level high-grade attack talisman and a high-grade defensive talisman! This is the contribution value given to you by the family in advance." Lin Shiming, the queen of Lin, insisted so much that it was difficult to say more. But as the head of the family, it is still okay to seek some benefits for his son who is on duty ahead of time.

"In addition, take ten more kilograms of spiritual water and fifty more kilograms of spiritual rice! It will be paid to me!" Lin Yuqing also added, and he became more and more satisfied with Lin Shiming.

If everyone in the family thinks like Shiming, why should the Lin family be unhappy?
