The contradiction and anxiety in his heart made his face age even more rapidly.

The side effects of Renshui Geng Metal Art had become stronger, and he estimated that he only had about twenty more years to live. To think, he was just over one hundred sixty years old at the moment, while the lifespan limit for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator was two hundred fifty years.

In a mountain cave, Lin Xianzhi found Lin Houyuan.

A group of Qi Cultivators were with Lin Houyuan.

For the Heavenly Demon Sect and Corpse Refining Sect Cultivators, it was unnecessary to chase after Qi Cultivators. Their whereabouts would naturally be exposed after the escape of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Instead, killing higher-level cultivators could potentially yield more spiritual objects.

"Seventh Great-Uncle!" Lin Houyuan raised his head to look at Lin Xianzhi, also very excited.

But seeing Lin Xianzhi\'s increasingly aged face, like seeing Lin Yuqi back in the day, filled him with a deep sense of gloom.

His excited heart chilled by three more degrees.

And thinking of the fallen cultivators of the family made his face even more somber.

He felt too ashamed to say it to the Seventh Great-Uncle, yet he also thought of Lin Shiming.

"Seventh Great-Uncle, didn\'t Shiming come with you?" asked Lin Houyuan, his voice becoming smaller and smaller towards the end.

He naturally saw the discouragement on Lin Xianzhi\'s face. When Lin Shiming was around, he could always see a slightly content smile on Lin Xianzhi\'s face.

That kind of pride and relaxation was utterly missing from Lin Xianzhi\'s face at the moment.

"Shiming broke through alone, and we\'re still looking for him!" Lin Xianzhi responded with a somber tone as well.

Lin Xianzhi gave a quick glance to the surviving Lin Family members and cultivators, then sighed again in frustration. This defense battle was definitely the greatest loss in the history of the Lin Family, with almost half of the Qi Cultivation late-stage family heads meeting their demise.

However, key family members like Lin Shiyi, Lin Houwei, Lin Yuqing, Lei Xuan, and others were still alive, if more or less injured.

"Hou Yuan, take the clan members back to Heavenly River City. I will continue searching for three more days!" Lin Xianzhi spoke again and then left the cave, resolutely setting foot once more on the journey to search.

Since the chaotic battle at Yunjing Mountain, he had not yet started to heal his wounds, nor had he properly stopped to recover his True Yuan or suppress his internal injuries.

…

In an unknown place underground, after what seemed like a long time, Lin Shiming opened his eyes. Now his True Yuan could circulate within his body, not like at the beginning when he could only rely on the body of a Body Refining Cultivator to perform breathing techniques to recuperate from his injuries.

At this moment, the Green Lotus seeds also started to take effect, slowly healing the injuries in his body.

But his head still felt excruciatingly painful.

The self-destruct of the Purple Wood Profound Heavenly Sword Formation had almost injured his Divine Sense as well.

Fortunately, with the Split Spirit Decision, he could cultivate to recover a bit; otherwise, he wouldn\'t even be able to use his Divine Sense to explore his surroundings.

The Golden Winged Mantis still lay beside him, its golden insect body covered with six thin layers of golden wings. Two golden limbs were stretched out in front of it, motionless.

Seeing Lin Shiming finally open his eyes, the Golden Winged Mantis began to chirp excitedly, a hint of joy in its noise.

Its triangular head wanted to nuzzle against Lin Shiming.

Lin Shiming reached out his hand to stroke the head of the Golden Winged Mantis.

This time, it was all thanks to the Golden Winged Mantis. At that moment, he was truly at his wit\'s end—if it hadn\'t been for the terrifying speed and attack of the Golden Winged Mantis, coupled with the concealing effect of the Qinglian Taoist Robe.

Even if Lu Changming\'s True Yuan was reduced to less than one-tenth its original level, and his Divine Sense was suppressed by the Shocking God Drum, he wouldn\'t have been able to kill Lu Changming in the end.

And the consequence of Lu Changming not dying was that he himself would undoubtedly be doomed.

At the thought of this, Lin Shiming still couldn\'t help but feel a chill of fear.

The battle that day had been perilously fierce.

Especially after the battle, when he was completely out of fighting strength, fortunately, the Golden Winged Mantis stood guard for him. Only the Golden Winged Mantis was his most trusted ally; its strength and loyalty, as well as its disposition to avoid trouble, were not something the Red-haired Demon Monkey could compare with. This was also why he had recalled the Red-haired Demon Monkey.

After all, the Golden Winged Mantis had hatched from an insect egg under his care, whereas for the Red-haired Demon Monkey, he couldn\'t help but be slightly wary.

Lin Shiming took out some Beast Nurturing Pills and Spirit Beast meat to feed the Golden Winged Mantis before taking out a set of formation, covering a hundred meters around him and opening up three or four stone chambers.

Once everything was properly arranged, Lin Shiming continued his cultivation to recover.

A long time passed, and Lin Shiming had already lost track of time—a month, two months, possibly even longer.

With an exhalation of a breath of turbid air, the True Yuan qi contained in the Purple Wood Heart Sutra filled his entire body, and Lin Shiming\'s previous injuries finally healed completely.

At this moment, he once again felt the power of the Wood Attribute Techniques, which had remarkable effects on injuries and recovery.

His Divine Sense, too, had fully recovered under the cultivation of the Split Spirit Decision, and he even felt that it had become sharper.

The surprises didn\'t stop there. When Lin Shiming inspected his inner body with his Divine Sense, he discovered that his True Yuan had become more condensed.

After his Foundation Establishment breakthrough, his True Yuan was inevitably somewhat tenuous, but this battle had unexpectedly caused his True Yuan to solidify.

It is known that for most Foundation Establishment Cultivators, it would take at least ten years, or even twenty years.

Like Lin Houyuan, Lin Shiming\'s father, who had broken through Foundation Establishment more than a decade ago, still had not fully condensed his True Yuan. He was unable to cultivate to the peak of the early stage of Foundation Establishment, not to mention breaking through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

And at this moment, Lin Shiming had only just broken through Foundation Establishment for less than six years.

This also meant that if he was willing to engage in arduous cultivation, he would be able to break through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment within the next few years.

However, Lin Shiming didn\'t rush to break through immediately. Not to mention that the Qingxuan Sect might be suspicious and figures like Lin Xianzhi and other family elders might worry, just the fact that he had made such a swift breakthrough would require a good explanation, especially to the Qingxuan Sect.

Leaving the vein, his Storage Bag had corpses used for Qi Cultivation, and it was evident that a Superior Grade Spirit Stone had aided the breakthrough. In the worst-case scenario, he could face soul searching, or at the very least an Inquiry Spirit Talisman, but neither was something he wished to deal with.

Having completed his cultivation, Lin Shiming finally had the time to sort through his spoils of war.

It was important to note that during this event, ninety percent of his spirit ants had perished, leaving only eighty-one; the Purple Wood Profound Heavenly Sword Formation was destroyed, the Tiangang Sword Formation too, and all of the Xue Sha Thunder had been used up, resulting in extreme losses.

Lin Shiming first took out four Demonic Cultivators\' Storage Bags.

Within the four Storage Bags, he found five hundred thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones, over a hundred pounds of Qingming Iron.

Over a hundred pounds of Qingming Iron was clearly plundered from the Heavenly River State\'s Spirit Iron mines previously by the cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Qingming Iron is a Third Rank material and it is among the premium ones at that. These hundred-plus pounds of Qingming Iron are worth at least seven hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

That is to say, just the gains in spiritual materials and Spirit Stones amounted to one million Inferior Grade Spirit Stones.

Beyond that, Lin Shiming also obtained five Third Rank Intermediate Grade Magic Artifacts, two Third Rank Superior Grade Magic Artifacts, and a Third Rank scapegoat effigy.

Intermediate Grade Magic Artifacts, to Lin Shiming at this moment, were of course lacking, but the Superior Grade Magic Artifacts were the tainted gourd Magic Artifact and another Demonic Blade Magic Artifact, it\'s a pity that both required the practice of Demonic Path Techniques.
