Chapter 64: Lin Houyuan's Breakthrough

When he came to the alchemy pavilion of the family's Earth Fire Hall again, Lin Shiming saw Lin Yuqi who was giving a speech and teaching.

In the hall, several apprentices of the Lin family's Shi generation were learning how to control the furnace.

Among them, Lin Shitao, who was at the third level of Qi training, was at the front, controlling a spirit furnace floating in the sky, and below was the earth fire drawn from the formation.

The spirit furnace in front of her was the most stable, and the flame was always kept at a suitable temperature.

On the other hand, several apprentices of the Shi generation next to them were not as good. The flames rose and fell, and from time to time they went over the furnace, and they were sweating and concentrating their minds.

Even Lin Shiming, a layman, could easily see the difference between them.

"Second Grandpa!" As Lin Shiming greeted him, Lin Yuqi stopped teaching, told everyone to continue controlling the furnace, and walked towards Lin Shiming.

"No more beast-raising pills? Don't worry, I'll give you enough this time!" Lin Yuqi took out two pill bottles with a smile on his face, and stuffed them directly into Lin Shiming's hands, regardless of whether Lin Shiming really needed them or not.

Lin Shiming looked at the second elder in front of him with a bit of tears and laughter. He didn't come here for the beast-raising pills this time.

But thinking of the unparalleled appetite of the three spirit beasts, he still accepted the spirit pills.

He also explained his purpose and handed a copied jade slip to Lin Yuqi's hand.

"Second Grandfather, this is the jade slip that the seventh uncle asked me to give you!"

"Well!" Lin Yuqi took the jade slip, looked at Lin Shiming meaningfully again, and then smiled slightly, as if he understood what Lin Xianzhi meant.

But he didn't say much, but read the jade slip.

When he read the jade slip, the novel use of formations to improve the level of refining tools immediately inspired him.

The reason why Lin Yuqi and Lin Yutie couldn't refine third-level pills and third-level magic tools was really not because of their poor alchemy and tool skills.

It was that their cultivation was not enough to support the refining of third-level elixirs and third-level magic tools, and the earth fire could not be controlled to that temperature.

But in the detailed explanation of the formation, the method of increasing the temperature of the earth fire and absorbing the spiritual energy of the spiritual veins for refining elixirs and tools was explained in great detail.

Lin Shiming could see some of the jade slips, and Lin Yuqi, as a professional, naturally benefited a lot from reading them.

Then he said goodbye to Lin Shiming and prepared to go to his exclusive alchemy room for careful study.

Even those apprentices who were still practicing furnace control looked away.

Lin Shiming finally entered the furnace control place and told several apprentices that the second elder had some insights and needed to practice for a while.

Several apprentices of the Shi generation were naturally overjoyed and seemed to be a little relaxed.

They began to put down the furnace control and turned to look at this seventh brother with some admiration.

If it were three years ago, the one who listened to the most among the Shi generation would definitely be Lin Shijie, who had two spiritual roots.

However, it was Lin Shiming's deeds in the past three years that made these teenagers of the Shi generation particularly yearn for him.

Lin Shitao, who was standing next to him, spoke in a serious tone:

"Shili, Shifeng, don't be distracted. If you don't practice controlling the furnace well, when can you become an alchemist?"

Upon hearing this, the faces of several teenagers of the Shi generation really fell, and then they walked to the earth fire formation and continued to practice controlling the alchemy furnace.

After saying that, Lin Shitao blushed again and looked at Lin Shiming apologetically.

"Seventh brother, Shitao is a little stupid. At present, he can only refine first-level innate elixirs and bigu pills!"

"Come on, you are already very good!" Lin Shi smacked his lips, and couldn't help but complain about the word "stupid" Lin Shitao in his heart.

At the age of thirteen, he has reached the peak of the third level of Qi training and has become a first-level alchemist. This is still due to his stupidity. Lin Shiming really can't comment too much, otherwise he always feels like he is scolding himself.

After encouraging him, he left the Alchemy Pavilion.

After going to the weapon training hall again and giving Lin Yutie a detailed explanation of the array weapon, Lin Shiming returned to the Qinglian Pond and built a small cave for himself next to it.

Then he calmed down and continued to practice.

There is no time in cultivation, and half a year passed in a blink of an eye.

Lin Shiming only felt a riot of spiritual energy next to him, and the entire Qinglian Pond became uneasy.

He walked out of the cave, but found that Lin Xianzhi had appeared first.

They all looked at a cave deep in the Qinglian Pond.

That was where Lin Shiming's father, Lin Houyuan, practiced.

"Seventh uncle, is my father going to break through?" Lin Shiming saw the riot of spiritual energy and couldn't help asking Lin Xianzhi.

"Well, yes, your father should have cast a foundation-building spiritual platform and is refining his true essence!" Lin Xianzhi also nodded approvingly, looking at the location of Lin Houyuan's cave, and was quite pleased.

After more than 30 years, the Lin family is finally going to have a second foundation-building cultivator.

When the strange phenomenon appeared, several elders also rushed from the foot of the mountain. After knowing that it was Lin Houyuan's breakthrough, they all smiled and watched from the side.

Among them, the fifth elder Lin Houyong was more confident. He was fifty-eight years old and had two years left. At this moment, he could see others building their foundations. Even if he watched from afar, it was particularly meaningful for him to learn from.

The strange phenomenon lasted for about half a day, and a foundation-building spiritual power suddenly appeared and then spread out.

The spiritual energy continued to return to calm.

"It's done!" Lin Xianzhi nodded.

"Everyone disperse, wait for Houyuan to consolidate his cultivation!"

As Lin Xianzhi spoke, several Qi training elders of the Lin family also left one by one.

Lin Shiming couldn't help but be happy for his father. After building his foundation, he would enjoy a lifespan of 250 years.

He is not yet sixty, and there is still plenty of time to explore the immortal path in the future.

"Shiming, how is the Tianling fruit tree?" Lin Xianzhi asked again about the Tianling fruit tree, which is extremely important to the family. Among the three main ingredients of the foundation-building pill, the Tianling fruit tree is the most rare. Even in a Jindan sect like Qingxuan Sect, there are only dozens of Tianling fruit trees. You know, the Tianling fruit only bears fruit once a hundred years.

Even if there are cultivators in Qingxuan Sect who practice the Purple Wood Heart Sutra, it takes fifty or sixty years for it to mature once.

So Lin Xianzhi is particularly concerned about this kind of spiritual tree.

The Tianling fruit tree was planted on a small hill next to the Qinglian Pond. There was a hidden spirit formation carved on it, so even those Qi training elders did not notice that the family had a precious Tianling fruit tree at this moment.

"Don't worry, Seventh Uncle, there is no problem with the Tianling fruit tree!" Lin Shiming took Lin Xianzhi to check the Tianling fruit tree again.

At this moment, the spiritual tree is more than ten meters high, with a canopy of more than ten meters. Every leaf is shining, and it is obviously well cultivated.

Moreover, in the past six months, Lin Shiming's spiritual plant skills have also reached the second-level middle grade. This is undoubtedly due to the Purple Wood Heart Sutra, but it is undeniable that his spiritual plant talent is also excellent.

"Seventh uncle, this fruit tree will not bear fruit for long. The next fruit will be ripe in seventy or eighty years!" Lin Shiming sighed and introduced it to Lin Xianzhi.

However, the latter did not regret it. He still had three of the Tianling Fruits harvested by the Huang family.

"Shiming, go ask Yu Qi about his alchemy research!"
