Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

If you wanted it so badly, you should have negotiated with the seller before the auction.

Of course, some also speculated that the Lin Family might be maliciously inflating the price, but such shill bidding should be conducted by Loose Cultivators, shouldn\'t it?

"5500 Spirit Stones!" Suddenly, from the crowd, a bald man stood up and raised the bid.

Lin Shiming glanced over and recognized the bidder as his \'acquaintance\' from two days prior, the bald Cultivator from the Lingnan Seven Fiends.

The bald man cast a wild glance over the entire hall, his gaze finally settling on Lin Shiming with a provocative air.

"6000 Spirit Stones!" Lin Shiming also called out his bid without any hesitation.

He stared at the bald man, still somewhat puzzled. These people seemed to have put the Red Spirit Fish up for auction without ever intending to sell it.

The Red Spirit Fish had already reached triple its price, and the result was blatantly obvious: the Red Spirit Fish was theirs to begin with.

So all they needed to pay was a ten percent commission fee.

"6500 Spirit Stones!" The bald man continued the provocation.

The bid of five hundred Spirit Stones didn\'t even make him blink, and by then it had drawn cheers from the Loose Cultivators. This was undoubtedly the most sensational auction in history, a Second Rank Intermediate Grade Spirit Fish worth at most three to four thousand Spirit Stones, was now approaching seven thousand.

"7000!" Lin Shiming kept up with the bidding. Lin Shijie beside him was somewhat nervous, continuously casting glances to signal Lin Shiming.

Lin Shijie might not understand, but Lin Shiming did. These Lingnan Seven Fiends were the perfect stooges, helping to create momentum for the Lin Family!

"8000!" As the bid of eight thousand Spirit Stones was called out, Lin Shiming didn\'t continue to bid.

It was time to cash in and take the eight hundred commission Spirit Stones.

After paying for the Spirit Stones and receiving the Spirit Fish, the bald Cultivator gave one more provocative glance before leaving.

He didn\'t continue to watch the auction, instead he left the hall directly.

Clearly telling the Lin Family, if they wanted the Spirit Fish, they should follow him.

This was almost an open invitation for the Lin Family to attempt a murder and robbery!

"We can go!" Lin Houyong confidently told Lin Shiming.

As soon as he said this, the shrewd-minded Lin Shiming immediately guessed that his Fifth Uncle and the others must be aware that this was a setup. If he wasn\'t mistaken, Lin Xianzhi must also be in the area.

But for the sake of secrecy, he had decided not to inform anyone.

"Alright, Big Brother, let\'s go together and retrieve the Spirit Fish!" Lin Shiming said resolutely to Lin Shijie.

The latter agreed happily. Having just broken through to the Ninth Level of Qi Cultivation, he was eager to find a few people to test his sword.

The Lingnan Seven Fiends, as veteran Cultivators of the Ninth Level of Qi Cultivation, were perfect targets to test his blade, especially since he was aware of Lin Shiming\'s excellent support techniques.

The two of them were in accord and stealthily left the place.

The auction continued, yet the atmosphere began to subtly turn unusual.

Outside the Xing County Square Market, Lin Shiming and Lin Shijie took off on their Flying Swords.

"Old Seven, let\'s see who\'s faster with the Flying Swords and who can take down that bald head first!" Lin Shijie was eager to try as well. His Fire-returning Fire Sword seemed to be augmented with rare Artifact Refining materials, releasing a strange tri-color flame in the air when activated.

"Big brother, you\'ve added three-colored stones to the refining materials, haven\'t you?" Lin Shiming replied with a mix of crying and laughing.

The latter, seeing the surprise and helplessness in Lin Shiming\'s eyes, also felt somewhat satisfied, as if he had finally gained some advantage over Lin Shiming.

After the brief interlude, both transformed into beams of sword light and continued southward.

Half an hour later, on a small hill, they finally caught up with the bald cultivator from the Lingnan Seven Fiends.

Upon closer inspection, Lin Shiming realized that the bald cultivator bore tattoos of gaunt toads.

"Indeed, the young calf isn\'t afraid of the tiger, a buy-one-get-one-free on courting death!" the bald cultivator sneered, licking his tongue, then raised his hand, and suddenly a series of formation flags arose. Subsequently, a stream of spirit light emerged from the ground, and four cultivators dressed just like the bald one appeared from beneath the soil.

All four cultivators also had tattoos, each representing a different creature from the five poisons: the centipede, the poisonous snake, the scorpion, and the gecko!

All five men were at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Level.

"I\'m quite curious why you\'re called the Seven Fiends instead of the Five Fiends!" Lin Shiming initially panicked, but after he saw that the formation was only a second-rank intermediate-grade Trapping Formation, he somewhat relaxed.

"Because in our Lingnan..." the bald cultivator with the toad tattoo started to reply, but he was interrupted by the leading snake-tattooed cultivator.

"Quit your foolish explanations. The kid is releasing a spirit seed, a wood attribute cultivator!" After speaking, the snake-tattooed cultivator raised his hand, produced a snake drum, and then an untold number of five-colored and seven-colored poisonous snakes appeared, flying toward Lin Shiming and company.

When Lin Shiming saw that he had been discovered, he no longer hid his actions and madly cast his Spirit Arts with his hands.

Suddenly, countless wood vines rose into the sky.

This time, Lin Shijie wanted to test his sword, and Lin Shiming was equally keen to test his magic!

With Lin Shiming\'s Qi Cultivation at the Ninth Level and more condensed Spiritual Power, the wood vines catalyzed by his Wood Vine Technique seemed endless, densely bursting out in all directions.

The multitude of spirit snakes was soon submerged, and although some red snakes could still spit fire, burning through the vines, once they cleared a patch,

the wood vines burned like oil, crackling loudly, and actually created an even larger sea of fire, which instead trapped the Five Fiends.

But in the next moment, a giant fire snake appeared and swallowed all the flames in one gulp.

"Careful of the ground!" Lin Shiming warned Lin Shijie.

Then they saw huge pythons, exceedingly thick, burst from the earth.

The cultivation of these pythons was formidable; each was at the peak of the second-rank mid-stage, and their numbers were vast.

At this moment, Lin Shijie also began to wield his sword, employing the Fire-returning Fire Sword technique. As his three-colored Fire Sword surged, he sliced through the giant pythons as easily as cutting melons, severing several second-rank mid-stage pythons in half.

Meanwhile, the other four Fiends started their attacks.

Aside from the Snake Fiend, the other four did not summon scorpions or toads; instead, their Spirit Patterns flickered as they began to partially transform.

The bald cultivator, transformed into a half-toad, leaped hundreds of meters in one bound, arriving right before Lin Shiming and his companion, and slamming down a massive seal towards Lin Shiming.

Seeing this, Lin Shiming did not hesitate and immediately released the Red-haired Demon Monkey from his Storage Bag to fight the bald cultivator.

As for himself, he commanded three Supreme Grade Flying Swords to directly confront the half-transformed Scorpion and Centipede Fiends; among them, one condensed a massive, gleaming poisonous hook with extraordinary toxicity, hissing corrosively even in open air,

while the other formed numerous spirit energy legs, continuously shuttling through the soil, occasionally launching sneak attacks on Lin Shiming.

The last two, the Gecko Fiend and the Snake Fiend, faced Lin Shijie.

However, the next moment, just when Lin Shiming was preparing to release the Snake Vine Flower and Iron Thornwood, he suddenly felt a tremendous wave of Spirit Might bearing down fiercely upon him.

"A Foundation Establishment cultivator!" Lin Shiming was immensely shocked, not having anticipated a Foundation Establishment cultivator would act without martial virtue at this moment, his whole body trembling under the crushing pressure of the Spirit Might!
