Xie An''s words did surprise Lin Shiming somewhat.

Xie An was a pure sword cultivator, with almost all of his weapons being magic swords.

For him to want the blood of these dragon lizards was almost without reason.

"Brother Xie, naturally we can make the exchange, but the dragon lizard I killed was not an adult dragon lizard!" Lin Shiming didn''t refuse.

However, it was impossible for him to trade away the whole thing, knowing that whether for his own Body Refinement Cultivation of the Mountain Ape Body Refining Technique, or for Lin Shiyi, it was extremely valuable.

"No need for much, just thirty pounds of flesh and blood will do, but I need ten drops of essence blood!" Xie An hurriedly said.

After saying this, he seemingly noticed the confusion on the faces of Lin Shiming and the other members of the Lin Family, and immediately explained.

"Shiming, perhaps the news I''m about to share might actually be good news. Do you know what the greatest effect of pseudo-dragon blood is?"

Xie An pursed his lips, posing the question, then looked at Lin Shiming and then at Lin Xianzhi.

However, both were utterly perplexed.

"It''s the Qi and blood. The Qi and blood of a pseudo-dragon beast are dozens of times that of a normal spirit beast and cannot be quantified by numbers. This kind of pseudo-dragon blood can be used to refine Dragon Blood Pills in the Qingxuan Sect!"

"The effect of this kind of Dragon Blood Pill is also very straightforward—it significantly improves a cultivator''s Qi and blood!"

"In other words, even if someone is over sixty years old, as long as their age does not exceed the limit by too much and they have sufficiently tempered their Spiritual Energy, they can attempt a Foundation Establishment breakthrough with a Dragon Blood Pill even at eighty years old!"

As Xie An spoke these words, everyone held their breath, and at this moment, Lin Shiming also felt a stir of excitement.

But the most stirred was the Seventh Elder of the Lin Family, Lin Houshou, Lin Shiming''s second uncle.

He had an extremely strong innate talent for formations, but because he was late in breaking through the Qi Cultivation Ninth Level and lacked time to polish his True Yuan, he had to give up the idea of Foundation Establishment after reaching his sixtieth year.

But now, at this moment, Xie An''s words were like sweet rain after a long drought, lighting up his eyes with infinite brilliance.

"I won''t hide it from you, I too need to boost my Qi and blood in preparation for breaking through to the Purple Mansion!" Xie An added, although he appeared to be in his middle years, his actual age was already over one hundred and eighty, and while his Qi and blood were not insufficient for a Purple Mansion breakthrough,

ample Qi and blood could increase his chances.

These two Cultivators, relying on their Foundation Establishment cultivation level, had become notorious demons by torturing other Cultivators to obtain their resentful spirits.

To Cultivators like them, not being chopped into a thousand pieces was already generous.

Lin Shiming didn''t say much but abruptly began to activate the Soul Searching Technique, conducting on-the-spot soul searching on the two demon cultivators.

His powerful Divine Sense violently invaded the minds of the two demon cultivators, and in the next moment, screams of agony echoed as their sea of consciousness shattered and their souls perished!

Both had a Sect''s Jade Book, which should have protected them, so the soul searching yielded no results.

But Lin Shiming wasn''t actually trying to search their souls; he just didn''t want to reveal the Split Spirit Blade, and killing them with the Soul Searching Technique let them know what it felt like to be tormented to death.

Afterward, Lin Shiming handed the storage bags over to Lin Houyuan, letting his father look through the storage bags of the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Of course, in reality, it meant handing over the spoils of war to his father.

Although Lin Houyuan had broken through to Foundation Establishment more than ten years ago, his True Yuan was still not fully tempered, and when it came to magic artifacts, he didn''t possess any particularly formidable ones. In normal times, he might refuse what his son offered, even when his son gave him some Spirit Stones, Lin Houyuan did not always accept.

These two demon cultivators were mediocre in strength, and so were the magic artifacts they used; this situation provided Lin Shiming with an opportunity to present treasures to his father.

While he was controlling the Spirit Boat, with Lin Xianzhi and Xie An, one a latter stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator and the other at perfect Foundation Establishment, naturally, they had no interest in the storage bags of two ordinary middle-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Moreover, the two were slain by Lin Shiming himself.

The magic artifacts and Spirit Stones in the storage bags naturally remained with Lin Houyuan.

Of course, if there were good treasures, Lin Houyuan would discuss them with him.

After all the affairs were settled, Lin Shiming continued to pilot the Spirit Boat, while Lin Houyuan, Lin Xianzhi, and Xie An each found a room to continue their recovery.

What made Lin Shiming sigh was that Lin Xianzhi stowed away the superior-grade Spirit Stones and began to use intermediate-grade Spirit Stones for recovery, as well as taking Healing Pills.

The Spirit Boat smoothly set its course towards the White Leaf Continent.

And just then, the system alert reappeared:

"Beware of the small Mount Tai ahead; you are about to be ambushed by Chen Yunlai!"
