Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints
Chapter 996 - 608: Gold Condensation Fruit Tree, Ice Pagoda Legacy (Two in One, Subscribe Request)

On the snow mountain, as Lin Houshou spoke, the ice bird finally showed some emotion.

"Can you really take me out of here?"

The trembling voice made Lin Houshou pause momentarily, then he rejoiced.

"Of course! The Lin Family not only has Purple Mansion cultivators but also more powerful Golden Core True Persons and Nascent Soul True Monarch combat force!"

"Getting you out of this secret realm is naturally simple!" Lin Houshou said.

The ice bird finally nodded.

At the same time, Lin Houshou began to condense the Soul Binding Forbidden.

This type of soul contract, once established, is no less binding than raising a spirit beast from a young age.

Moreover, due to its intelligence, it can accomplish even more things.

The only concern is the need to nurture the ice bird; the worry is that while it accepts orders, it might occasionally act perfunctorily.

On this point, Lin Houshou was confident. After all, this ice bird had significant potential to break through to the rank of True Person, which could provide ample opportunities for negotiation.

A drop of essence blood condensed, also splitting off a portion of Lin Houshou's divine soul, which immediately surged toward the ice bird.

The ice bird's eyes still showed some fear and tried to evade, but in the next moment, Lin Houshou glared sharply, exerting the Split Soul Blade, causing the ice bird to let out a piercing cry.

The Soul Binding Forbidden then settled into its physical body, quickly coalescing into shape, pulling out a smaller demon soul, which entered Lin Houshou's mind.

"Alright, Shiming, Shiyi, you can let go now!" Lin Houshou, sensing the formation of the Soul Binding Forbidden, exhaled a sigh of relief.

This spirit beast was quite challenging to deal with; facing it alone would have been extremely dangerous for any one of them.

After binding its soul, Lin Houshou discovered the formidable nature of the ice bird.

Since birth, this ice bird had appeared atop Taihan Mount.

It had devoured all the demonic beasts in the area, which was why only the ice bird remained here alone.

Furthermore, the ice bird had deciphered the advantages of the formation, often hiding near the steps to ambush demonic beasts drawn by the ripening Spirit Fruit of Taihan Mount.

Without Lin Houshou's warning, Lin Shiming and Lin Shiyi might have fallen into the ice bird's trap this time.

"Let's go this way; it knows the loophole in the formation!" Lin Houshou didn't remove the formation. Leaving it here would only consume some spiritual energy, but it might prove useful at a critical moment.

The trio, along with several spirit beasts, stepped out of the formation and began ascending a path of the snow mountain.

The loophole in this formation essentially served as its life gate, which the ice bird had deduced from observing experiments conducted by other spirit beasts.

Thus, the group followed the path leading to the life gate.

Soon, they arrived at the stone monument of Taihan Mount.

Standing before the monument, Lin Shiming and Lin Houshou felt an even deeper sense of awe.

Both of them bowed slightly, and Lin Shiyi followed suit repeatedly.

If all went as expected, this secret realm would still hold most of its treasures here, serving as a training ground for the Lin Family cultivators. After all, if the Lin Family members sought to break through their limits, this realm would function as a "secret realm cave heaven" for the Lin Family.

It could serve as a place for self-transcendence.

For example, after Lin Shiming and Lin Shiyi eventually mastered the formation and the inheritance of Taihan Mount, they could challenge themselves.

Preparing to break through to the Golden Core.

As the group traversed the stone path, they soon arrived at a junction of three forks.

This area was once the main sect mountain of Taihan Sect.

According to what Lin Houshou had gleaned from the ice bird's divine soul, Taihan Mount was divided into two main areas.

One part consisted of the "Disciple Heaven," accessible through one of the three paths.

This was where all the Taihan Sect cultivators' abodes were located. The remaining two paths led elsewhere—one to the Council Hall connected to the sect, known as "Purple Dawn Heaven!"

The final path led to "Spirit Realm Heaven."

As the name suggests, Spirit Realm Heaven consisted of the Spiritual Medicine Garden, Alchemy Room, Artifact Refining Room, and other secret realms.

Within the Spiritual Medicine Garden were three fruit trees favored by the ice bird.

"Let's head straight to the Spiritual Medicine Garden. There aren't any valuable treasures in Disciple Heaven or Purple Dawn Heaven!" Lin Houshou suggested.

The trio resolved to take the leftmost path to Spirit Realm Heaven.

As the trail stretched onward, the group began to witness the unique scenery atop Taihan Snow Mountain.

They eagerly anticipated discovering what secrets the Spiritual Medicine Garden held within the snow mountain.

Their first sight was a Third Rank Spiritual Medicine Garden.

Inside were various frost-attributed spiritual herbs—Ice Heart Flower, Frost Grass, Water Shadow Lotus...

Numerous treasures predominantly consisted of water-attributed items, which made Lin Shiming and Lin Shiyi somewhat troubled.

After all, neither of them specialized in water-attribute cultivation techniques.

Fortunately, as they passed through the first Spiritual Medicine Garden, the second garden presented an entirely different scene, like a Peach Blossom Sanctuary.

What lay before them was a forest in full bloom, starkly contrasting the prior garden, which contained only water- and frost-attribute spirit plants.

Here, all kinds of spiritual medicines flourished, and most importantly, numerous spiritual flowers shone brightly.

"That's a Fourth Rank Heavenly Fire Ganoderma, Fourth Rank White Jade Lotus, and Fourth Rank Heavenly Sunflower Seeds..." Lin Shiyi exclaimed in excitement. This time, their harvest would be significant—these Fourth Rank spiritual medicines alone would deepen the Lin Family's foundation at the Purple Mansion level.

Many of the spiritual medicines would also be useful for his body refinement.

"Harvest all the mature spiritual medicines here and leave the unripe ones where they are!" Unlike the preceding Third Rank Spiritual Medicine Garden, which Lin Houshou had instinctively bypassed, this garden required thorough collection.

This was intended as a reward for Lin Shiming and Lin Shiyi.

During the first exploration of such secret realms, cultivators were allowed to keep half of their discoveries.

This was because they bore certain risks, with the remaining half given to the family.

From the second exploration onwards, however, clan members would only retain twenty percent of their findings, handing over eighty percent to the family.
