Zhao State, Yunzhou, Xingxian.

Xingxian County has a vast territory and sparse population, with many mountains, rivers, and hills.

Among the mountains and rivers, Fangmu Mountain is the highest, shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, only its height is known, and its peak is not seen.

At this moment, inside a small building within the peak.

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

At the center of the formation is a large insect egg with a bowl mouth. It is obvious that the egg has reached the moment of hatching, and the surface is already covered with cracks.

With a flash of spiritual light and a click, two golden feet, resembling sickles, broke through their shells.

Then a pale golden mantis head appeared.

"Finally hatched!" Lin Shiming was overjoyed.

What others cannot see is that there is still a line of words in Lin Shiming's eyes.

The golden finger welfare exclusively belongs to him as a traveler, a reminder he sees every day.

"Please feed it with first level spiritual water, and you will obtain a spirit beast that can grow into third level, a variant of the blue winged praying mantis, the golden winged praying mantis."

Lin Shiming is a time traveler. In his past life, he was an unlucky IT otaku, but now he is the son of Lin Houyuan, the head of the forest family in Fangmu Mountain, and also ranks seventh in his generation.

Lin Shiming is very satisfied with this journey. Not only his background and status, but also his ability to see system prompts, he thinks there is hope for cultivating immortality.

And it was precisely because of the prompt that Lin Shiming spent ten spiritual stones on this half dead insect egg at a street stall in the neighborhood.

You should know that as one of the foundation building families in Yunzhou, the Lin family of Fangmu Mountain currently only has one foundation building master.

And a worm egg that can cultivate a third-order foundation building demon insect, even if placed at the Yunzhou auction, will sell for an unimaginable sky high price for the entire Lin family.

A normal blue winged praying mantis, except for its wings with a thin layer of pale gold, is all green.

And the mutated golden winged mantis in front of me not only has its wings completely covered in gold, but its entire body is also full of gold.

Especially the pair of front legs, shining like gold to the extreme, with extremely large sickle teeth, they look particularly sharp.

The body size is also about twice that of a normal blue winged praying mantis, and it is about the size of a baby when it hatches.

"Squeak!" The golden winged mantis stirred its wings and flew onto Lin Shiming's shoulder, constantly rubbing against him with its pale golden triangular head.

Before the hatching of the insect eggs, Lin Shiming used his own essence and blood to create the secret technique of the Blood Covenant Formation, and also used spiritual energy to cultivate spiritual insects.

The golden winged praying mantis also naturally regarded Lin Shiming as their parents.

Lin Shiming suppressed his joy and took out a jade bowl from his storage bag. Then, he carefully took out a jade bottle and poured a bowl full of first-order spiritual water into the bowl, feeling sorry.

This level of spiritual water is produced by the Qinglian Lingquan on the back of Fangmu Mountain. As the son of the head of the family, Lin Shiming can only receive one pound of spiritual water for six months.

And just one kilogram of spiritual water can sell for more than ten spiritual stones. With just one bowl of it, it can be worth half a month of hard cultivation for a cultivator.

At this moment, all the spirit stones around the Yunling Formation were dimmed, exhausting their power.

"Grow up quickly!" Lin Shiming couldn't help but rub the head of the golden winged mantis, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Squeak!" In the blink of an eye, the jade bowl had already bottomed out, and the golden winged praying mantis looked at Lin Shiming with a pursed 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 consuming about one pound three times in a row, the golden winged mantis finally contented and lay on Lin Shiming's shoulder, closing its eyes and resting quietly.

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

After being excited, he couldn't help but start thinking about his future path of cultivation.

The golden winged praying mantis is is so edible that it requires even higher cultivation resources, which makes him quite distressed.

His own spiritual roots are the three spiritual roots of gold, wood, and fire. In terms of cultivation qualifications, he is not considered good and requires a great deal of resources.

The Lin family is just a foundation building family. With his cultivation level of practicing Qi for five layers, he can only receive two spirit stones per month. Including the half yearly spiritual water and three kilograms of spiritual rice per month, he only receives about forty spirit stones for six months.

The reason why Lin Shiming was able to live such a comfortable life before was because he could see the prompts and plant spiritual plants with ease. In addition, his father also occasionally rewards him.

The system prompts cannot go against the sky. Most of the prompts he sees every day are about how to solve spiritual cultivation problems or cultivate techniques.

A small portion of the prompts seen are that the third level spiritual plants in the mountain medicine garden are mature, and picking them can obtain one third level spiritual mushroom plant.

Alternatively, there may be a third level treasure on the mountain that can be obtained by breaking through the formation at night.

Lin Shiming was not only speechless but also helpless about this kind of prompt.

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

As for other times, Fangmu Mountain prohibits children of the Lin family under twenty from going down the mountain, so there is no warning at the foot of the mountain.

After collecting the insect eggs, Lin Shiming began to cultivate again in the room. The key to cultivating immortality lies in perseverance, and his talent does not allow him to be any less lazy.

Lin Shiming cultivates the Yellow Grade Upper Level Technique passed down by the Lin family. The Green Wood Technique with a Wood attribute can be practiced up to the Foundation Building Period.

Aoki Jue's cultivation is not fast and does not bring much benefit to combat techniques, but his victory lies in his stable cultivation, steady hitting and penetration, and often achieving remarkable results in breaking through great realms.

After each small and large Zhou Tian cycle, Lin Shiming feels refreshed and energized, as if all his magical powers are jumping with joy!

And at that moment, a red light suddenly flashed through the sky, and a musical note broke through the air.

"Shiming, hurry to the Council Hall!"

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

As a place for the Lin family to discuss, assign tasks, and entertain foreign guests, the entire hall is made of marble. At the beginning of the construction, many skilled craftsmen were hired to make the hall appear more grand and imposing.

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

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

That's right, although they look similar to Lin Houyuan in appearance, they both look middle-aged, but Lin Yuqing is already 90 years old.

For cultivators during the Qi refining period, they generally have a lifespan of around 120 and can maintain their youthful appearance by consuming a little spiritual power.

If you like it, you can even maintain a childlike appearance. Of course, the elders of the Lin family are mostly middle-aged, which can not only maintain their dignity but also make their bodies appear less old.

"I've met my father, Grandpa!" Lin Shiming quickly approached and saluted, both of whom he admired greatly.

"Shiming has arrived, not bad. He has practiced Qi at the fifth level. He is only seventeen years old this year!" Lin Yuqing clearly did not expect that Lin Shiming's three spiritual roots' qualifications would only take nine years to reach the fifth level of Qi cultivation. The average second spiritual root genius would only be at this speed.

In addition to the surprise, there was also a hint of hesitation on the face.

"Grandpa laughed, my nephew's cultivation is solely supported by his family."

"Not bad, not bad. Humble and polite, diligent in cultivation. Master, you have given birth to a good son!"

Lin Yuqing's uncontrollable admiration made Lin Houyuan also unable to stop feeling delighted.

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

Lin Houyuan hesitated at this moment. Qingtao Mountain was backed by the Qingyun Mountains, and there were many fierce wild beasts, even some of which roamed freely within the Qingyun Mountains.

Especially now that the second grade spiritual peach tree on Qingtao Mountain is about to mature, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net is highly likely to attract birds and monsters.

Lin Houyuan originally did not want his son to go down the mountain early to guard such a dangerous place, but Lin Shiming had previously suggested to him several times to go down the mountain early and participate in the garrison mission.

And the latter's belief in contributing to the family moved him, and the family did indeed lack sufficient manpower.

But now it seems that his son is talented enough to make the greatest contribution to the family by striving to cultivate without being delayed by worldly affairs.

"Father, Grandpa, Shiming is willing to go garrison!" Lin Shiming was immediately excited when he heard about the task of guarding Qingtao Mountain.

What he wants is this, sitting on the golden finger of the prompt system, only searching for resources that are obviously unavailable on Fangmu Mountain, which has long made him dissatisfied.

He has seen all the treasures that the old clan leader has in the prompts, but that's useless. He can't steal them.

Now that he has the opportunity to go outside, he certainly wants to fight for it. Although Qingtao Mountain may be in danger, there are reminders that he can also anticipate the danger in advance.

"Father, my recent cultivation has also reached a bottleneck and I need to go outside to experience!" Lin Shiming added urgently as he saw the two elders still hesitating.

"Alright, before going to Qingtao Mountain, go to the clan treasury to collect a second level top-grade attack talisman and a top-grade defense talisman! This is the contribution value that the family has given you in advance." Lin Hou saw Lin Shiming's insistence and didn't say much, but as the head of the family, it is still possible to seek some benefits for his son who completed the garrison task ahead of time.

"Also, take an extra ten pounds of spiritual water and fifty pounds of spiritual rice! Count it on my head!" Lin Yuqing also added, becoming more and more satisfied with Lin Shiming.

If everyone in the family thinks like Shiming, why worry about the Lin family not being happy?
