Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints
Chapter 999 - 609: Earth Rank Technique, Supreme Grade Cold Jade (Combined)_2

"There are no creatures, and no Guardian Spirit Beasts!" Lin Zelu exclaimed excitedly.

Clearly, the conditions here are only suited for some extreme Demonic Beasts to survive; otherwise, it would consume an enormous amount of Spiritual Energy on a regular basis.

For Demonic Beasts, they require a large intake of blood and meat.

There is nowhere here that could provide such sustenance.

Even common ice-attribute Demonic Beasts might experience crisis if placed here.

"It seems like this place is more of a valley, not just a mound!" Lin Zelu continued, his face full of doubt.

No matter how one looked at it, this small hill didn't resemble a valley.

But precisely because it was a valley, it made the place appear even more terrifying.

Who knows how massive the glacier underneath might be.

"Maybe there's some kind of cold-attribute treasure below; let's dig and take a look!" Lin Xianzhi suggested.

Since there were no Demonic Beasts or other cultivators around, they might as well dig and see.

For them, it was worth giving it a try.

"One person digs, two keep watch!" Lin Xianzhi added.

Even though it didn't seem dangerous, being cautious was still a better approach.

Having two people keep a careful watch was more secure for their group.

For this reason, Lin Xianzhi even took out a Fifth Rank War Treasure Ship. Unlike Fifth Rank Spirit Puppets or Heavenly Corpses, this ship would not be transported out of the Secret Realm.

The ship, though, lacked the true Spirit Might of a Fifth Rank item; its power came from its massive structure, which aggregated the might of Spirit Stones to manifest its strength.

"I'll dig!" Lin Zelu volunteered without hesitation, but Lin Houyuan stopped him.

"Zelu, let me handle the digging. You're an Array Master, so you need to focus on observation." Lin Houyuan stepped forward.

Although Lin Houyuan was a junior, in this instance, prioritizing the bigger picture made more sense. Lin Houyuan's approach was undoubtedly more reliable.

Lin Xianzhi nodded in agreement. Lin Zelu, though a bit disappointed, began surveying the area closely instead.

He then shifted his gaze toward Lin Houyuan.

Lin Houyuan pulled out a Fourth Rank Magical Treasure and began digging straight into the ground.

Soon, he discovered something resembling pieces of Spirit Jade underground.

"Seventh Great-Uncle, Zelu, it's Cold Jade!" Lin Houyuan picked up a piece, his voice brimming with excitement.

They were no strangers to Cold Jade; it could be found on Ice Wolf Island, where they had previously mined some.

However, the highest grade of Cold Jade they had obtained there was merely a Thousand-Year Cold Jade.

But here, the three of them were utterly elated, as the terrifyingly low temperatures implied that there must be Thousand-Year Cold Jade—or even higher-grade Cold Jade—beneath the surface.

No one knew for how long this Secret Realm had been abandoned.

But judging by the presence of cold-attribute Spiritual Medicine with an age of at least five thousand years, its value was unquestionable!

And possibly, there wasn't just one plant of five-thousand-year-old cold-attribute Spiritual Medicine—there could be even older specimens.

Lin Houyuan continued digging, placing the extracted Cold Jade into his Storage Bag.

These ordinary Cold Jades could only serve as array foundations or be used for cultivation by the Lin Family's lower-level cultivators and Spirit Beasts.

With this Cold Jade, the Lin Family cultivators could afford to train more aggressively without worrying as much about Heart Demons.

Moreover, the family's water-attribute members could fully specialize in ice-attribute cultivation techniques, potentially accelerating their cultivation progress.

Take Lin Changxing, for example. He cultivated the Taihan Waters Scripture, and now, with Cold Jade at his disposal, it likely wouldn't be long before he became the first "Chang" generation Purple Mansion cultivator.

It was worth noting that even the "Yan" generation only had fewer than ten Purple Mansion cultivators!

In other words, Lin Changxing's progress would surpass an entire generation in cultivation level.

While the group reflected on these prospects, Lin Houyuan kept digging.

Soon, he had reached a depth of five zhang.

"Hundred-Year Cold Jade!" Lin Houyuan announced.

At this depth, the entire area was filled with Hundred-Year Cold Jade.

Even the ordinary Cold Jade had become rare.

Considering that this location was a valley rather than a mound, it was easy to imagine the vast reserves of Thousand-Year Cold Jade below—and perhaps even a considerable amount of Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade.

After digging for another half hour, Lin Houyuan had reached a depth of twenty zhang. The Cold Jades at this depth resembled resplendent Spirit Jades, brimming with dense Spirit Light and exuding an even more piercing cold. At this point, Lin Houyuan could feel his own Spirit Light growing insufficient, with symptoms of cold invading his body.

Even though he was only in the early stage of the Purple Mansion, he was still a Purple Mansion cultivator.

"Thousand-Year Cold Jade!" Lin Houyuan exclaimed upon unearthing a piece of Thousand-Year Cold Jade. After retrieving it, he decisively exited the deep pit.

"Seventh Great-Uncle, Zelu, there must be Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade below—or perhaps even Thousand-Year Cold Jade Marrow!" Lin Houyuan raised the Thousand-Year Cold Jade, his voice filled with excitement.

His words carried boundless enthusiasm as well.

Commanding such a Secret Realm represented an unimaginable foundational wealth for the Lin Family's future.

At this point, the Lin Family merely needed to secure their current territory; there would be no need to compete with other factions. In a hundred years, they could grow into a formidable superpower.

"Let's not mine further for now. We should have Elder Jiuxiao craft suitable cold-resistant Magic Artifacts first!" Lin Xianzhi remarked, noticing Lin Houyuan's condition.

It was evident that the depths below were anything but ordinary.

"Seventh Great-Uncle, I think there's a natural cold-aggregating array down here, which grows stronger as the ice layers accumulate!" Lin Zelu expressed his findings. After observing for so long, he had calmed himself considerably.

He no longer felt as agitated as he had initially.

"Let's send word to Shiming and the others. Perhaps his Spirit Corpses can excavate and retrieve the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade!" Although they planned to wait, obtaining a piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade in advance would lend greater credibility to their claims.

The Lin Family might even develop Cold Turtle Island into their second-largest island. After all, it housed the Taihan Secret Realm.

Not to mention a nearby supreme-grade Spirit Stone mine, which was far more valuable than Shuangmu Island.

Lin Houyuan nodded and retrieved a Jade Slip, transmitting a message into the distance.

Soon, the Jade Slip responded.

Lin Shiming established another cold-resistance array, within which Lin Houyuan rested to recover his cultivation level.

An hour passed, and in the distance, a Spirit Boat appeared. Aboard the boat, Lin Shiming and Lin Houshou's silhouettes emerged.

As soon as the three of them disembarked, they couldn't help but furrow their brows—the cold here was simply overwhelming.

Even as Body Cultivators, they felt significant pressure.

However, Lin Shiming was secretly pleased. The intense cold here was perfect for breaking through to the Golden Core stage; the only regret was that breakthroughs to Golden Core weren't allowed within an Earth Rank Secret Realm.

"Shiming, Houshou, you came at just the right time. This may very well be a Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade mine!" Lin Xianzhi said.

"We've already mined Thousand-Year Cold Jade; now we just need the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade!"

"Really?" Lin Shiming and Lin Houshou were overjoyed.

The marrow from Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade could be used to refine the Nascent Transformation Pill, a fact they knew well.

Moreover, Thousand-Year Cold Jade Marrow could assist Purple Mansion cultivators in breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

Thus, discovering a Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade mine signified an unprecedentedly massive gain for the Lin Family.

"Seventh Great-Uncle, we've also had significant findings. We discovered an array that can enhance cultivation limits and a spiritual tower of enlightenment, gaining two Earth Rank cultivation techniques!" Lin Houshou reported.

Hearing this, even Lin Xianzhi, prepared as he was for their findings, gasped.

The cold air from that sharp gasp almost caused him to choke.

The chill here was truly bone-piercing.

"Excellent!"

"The heavens favor the Lin Family!" Lin Xianzhi celebrated.

But then he turned to look at Lin Shiming, considering that his water-attribute Heavenly Corpses might endure the cold better.

At that moment, Lin Houshou spoke up:

"Seventh Great-Uncle, let me let my newly tamed Spirit Beast try!" Lin Houshou released an Ice Bird, instructing it to fly into the mining pit to begin excavating.

Compared to Lin Houyuan, who needed a Spirit Shield, the Ice Bird required no protective measures. It moved through the area as if it were level ground.

It even seemed the Ice Bird had been here before.

Its familiarity with the area was evident.

Soon, it emerged with several pieces of Thousand-Year Cold Jade.

Though these pieces were of little importance to the Ice Bird, they were invaluable treasures to the Lin Family cultivators.

As time passed and anticipation grew, a dazzling, palm-sized piece of Cold Jade suddenly flew out.

The moment it emerged, it gathered tremendous ice energy on its surface, forming a massive ice sculpture.

It became an enormous block of ice.

"Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade!" The group had only one thought—this was a piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade!

"Let's head out and inform Shiming!" At this moment, they no longer planned to linger. While the Secret Realm contained its dangers, with enough time and effort, they could clear the area of threats and safely assign more cultivators and Spirit Beasts to mine and advance their cultivation!
