In the world of Cave Heaven, dark clouds suddenly gathered, and in the blink of an eye, thunder began to converge.

At this moment, Lin Shiming’s nerves tensed upon witnessing the thunder.

Only after feeling the power of the thunderclouds did he let out a sigh of relief, somewhat frightened by the afterthought.

This was not Heavenly Tribulation but instead the growth of the Golden Thunder Bamboo inviting thunder, which was a normal process.

The demon that had transformed into Golden Thunder Bamboo had also witnessed it attract thunder and had used the bamboo to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation and revive itself.

The Star Spirit Clam, along with all the other Spirit Beasts, were all awakened by the disturbance, and even the Golden Winged Mantis flew to one side.

The time the Golden Thunder Bamboo took to attract thunder was usually about once every six months, but this time it seemed to happen all at once every fifty years.

The thunderclouds were incredibly thick, and the thunder that rolled within them was extremely powerful, many times more terrifying than anything the transformed demon had faced before its tribulation.

The old demon, now in the form of a little old man, scurried excitedly to the side, eyes wide with delight, started to observe and comprehend the proceedings.

Shortly afterward, with several thunderous booms, golden lightning struck down onto the bamboo, sending out a shower of golden light and a sizzling sound that was immense.

The golden lightning swiftly spread across the entire bamboo.

And within a ten-meter radius around it, there was nothing but thunder.

The arcs of golden lightning jumped around with great power, yet the Golden Thunder Bamboo, now thicker and sturdier with more dense Spirit Patterns, suffered no severe harm.

The lower branches and leaves, on the other hand, were all shed and fell to the ground.

At the break, a large amount of thunder Spiritual Power leaked out.

Near the tip of the bamboo, the thunder was even more intense, with layers of Spirit Patterns manifesting on the Golden Thunder Bamboo, becoming clearer and clearer.

It seemed that for the Golden Thunder Bamboo, attracting thunder was a way to refine and condense thunder attribute power!

The attraction of thunder lasted for quite a while, but when it finally ended, half of the leaves and branches of the century-old Golden Thunder Bamboo were stripped away, leaving a rather pitiful sight.

However, the remaining leaves and branches shone even more brightly.

The whole bamboo’s spiritual charm finally manifested, complemented by the dense Spirit Patterns that covered its surface, radiating precious light!

The aura of the Fourth Rank was evident!

And at this moment, the Golden Thunder Bamboo truly stepped into the realm of Fourth Rank spiritual materials!

Besides, the other Golden Thunder Bamboo, about thirty years old, also lost most of its branches and leaves, clearly having undergone a lot of training; however, the smallest Golden Thunder Bamboo, still less than half a foot tall, had a barely perceptible spirit light.

Lin Shiming collected all the spiritual leaves of the Golden Thunder Bamboo, which were from century-old specimens and solidly Third Rank spiritual materials; when placed within certain Special Spiritual Artifacts, they could have an unexpected suppressive effect on cultivators from the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Lin Shiming looked at the Golden Thunder Bamboo extremely satisfied, and he began to look forward to refining it into a Magical Treasure, which would give him another trump card against the cultivators of the Corpse Refining Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect.

He wanted to continue his research, but unfortunately, casting the Minor Divine Ability this time had significantly drained the Spiritual Power from his Spiritual Body. Read new chapters at freewebnovel

He must rest and recuperate, as the deep sense of exhaustion coupled with five years of arduous cultivation sent him immediately into a deep sleep.

This sleep was a complete relaxation of body and mind, and he rested for three full days.

When he woke from his deep sleep, he was still somewhat weak, but it was not a deficiency of True Yuan but rather the weakness of the Spiritual Body.

If before he could have inspected his body to see the blue Spirit Patterns like vast stars, now they seemed dim like small blue grains of rice.

The Spirit Patterns within the Spirit Platform disappeared, leaving only the Taoist Meridians still slowly releasing.

But very little!

He reached out his hand, and the True Yuan surged forth toward the nearby Spirit Grass, but as expected, it didn’t have much effect, and was even less effective than before his breakthrough to the Purple Mansion.

Roughly speaking, to recover the power of the Revival Wind’s Minor Divine Ability, it would take at least about five years.

However, the rest of his cultivation was unaffected.

Checking his lifespan, it had not changed.

Lin Shiming took a deep breath, stood up, and without resuming his cultivation, took out some Spirit Beast meat and Beast Nurturing Pills, and after rewarding the Spirit Beasts, left the world of Cave Heaven.

He handed all six Heavenly Spirit Fruits to Lin Shitao.

Lin Shitao didn’t hesitate and immediately went back to the cave dwelling to start alchemy.

The members of the Lin Family like Lin Shiyun couldn’t be delayed; moreover, in the family, there were many cultivators stuck at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Level without Foundation Establishment Pills.

Especially with the Water Spirit Shell, many family-supported cultivators had significantly increased their cultivation speed.

Lin Zekong, Lin Zelu, and Lin Zecheng from the "Ze" generation had all been condensing their Spiritual Energy for nearly half a year.

Once they had Foundation Establishment Pills, they could begin preparing for Foundation Establishment at any time!

Lin Shiming smiled resignedly, recalling how fifty years ago, the Lin Family fought tooth and nail for a single Foundation Establishment Pill, with a decade’s effort of the family just to trade for one, feeling somewhat melancholy.

The next moment, a Spirit Talisman flew in and landed in Lin Shiming’s hand.

Upon probing with his Divine Sense, his brows quickly furrowed.

The message came from Fangmu Mountain; Nanling Mountain had been breached.

His face darkened, and he quickly made his way to the council hall.

Inside the council hall, Lin Xianzhi, Lin Houyuan, Lin Shijie, and most of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators were present.

All of their faces bore anger, especially Lin Shijie!

"Seventh Great-Uncle, let me handle this one. We cannot tolerate just any tom, dick or harry bullying the Lin Family," he said.

"Shijie, don’t be impulsive. The fifth brother is still investigating. They dare to seize our Lin Family’s Nanling Mountain; they must know of Shiming’s existence," Lin Houyuan said with concern.

"Uncle, but..." Lin Shijie still wanted to speak but was cut off by Lin Shiming.
