Lin Shijin was the ninth of the Lin Family''s generation with the character "Shi" in their names. He had the triple Spirit Roots of metal, wood, and earth and had just barely reached the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation. His talent for cultivation was not particularly impressive, but he was nonetheless one of the few Second Rank Superior Grade Talisman Masters in the Lin Family.

"Family Head!" Watching Lin Shiming at this moment, Lin Shijin was also somewhat excited.

Lin Shiming had now become the pride of the Shi generation, and all Cultivators were aligning themselves with Lin Shiming. It wasn''t surprising to Lin Shijin.

"Not bad, Shijin, I haven''t seen you for so many years, and you''ve already become a Second Rank Superior Grade Talisman Master!" Lin Shiming couldn''t help but praise his young ninth brother.

Upon receiving such praise, Lin Shijin''s face was filled with happiness.

However, Lin Houyong, who was alongside arranging the mining work, couldn''t help but step forward:

"Family Head, the Seventh Great-Uncle commanded that we should not attempt it lightly!"

Lin Xianzhi still seemed somewhat worried. Even though he had sent Lin Shijin over, he couldn''t help but warn them.

"Please rest assured, Fifth Uncle. Shiming understands!" Lin Shiming nodded in response, knowing the matter of the Transmission Formation was of great significance.

The dangers of the other side were unclear to everyone.

"By the way, Fifth Uncle, have you brought the Curseheart Pills? I also have great use for them!" Lin Shiming spoke up.

Lin Houyong nodded and took out two Pill Bottles, one containing the Curseheart Pill and the other its antidote.

It should be mentioned that this Curseheart Pill was actually obtained from Li Chengzhi by Lin Xianzhi, a gu poison Elixir. Those who swallowed it would suffer as though their hearts were eaten by a curse worm, and if they did not take the antidote within seven days, they would be consumed by the Curseheart, resulting in heart failure and death.

"Thank you, Fifth Uncle!" Lin Shiming took the Elixirs and quickly expressed his thanks.

As for the subsequent surveying and mining of the Golden Iron Crystal vein, and even managing the Loose Cultivator miners, all would be handled by his Fifth Uncle.

Lin Shiming then took Lin Shijin and Lin Shizhong into a separate room by themselves.

"Shijin, are you confident in crafting Teleportation Talismans?" Lin Shiming asked.

"Yes!" Lin Shijin nodded, then added:

"However, Family Head, I''ve never crafted Teleportation Talismans before, so there might be a certain rate of error!"

"No matter," Lin Shiming nodded, and then turned to look at Lin Shizhong.

Before the Transmission Formation, both of them became quite sentimental, carefully scrutinizing everything from the teleportation platform to the location where the Spirit Stones were engraved.

Both of them were extremely serious in their inspection; however, Lin Shizhong examined every Spirit Pattern and each inch of material in the large Transmission Formation, while Lin Shijin compared it to the Teleportation Talisman in his memory.

Lin Shiming did not disturb the two but instead took out a meditation cushion and began quietly cultivating.

What he did not expect was that in his Cave Heaven World, the Mingxin Tea Tree suddenly began to sway.

Lin Shiming immediately went to a corner of the stone chamber, took out a separate Formation that isolated himself from Lin Shizhong and Lin Shijin, and then entered the Cave Heaven World.

At this moment, every leaf and branch of the Mingxin Tea Tree began to shine brightly.

The wood demon in charge of the Golden Thunder Bamboo, who was planted nearby, also seemed to enter a trance, closing its eyes as if it were an old monk in meditation.

The Spiritual Energy within the Spirit Vein surged frantically toward the tea tree, startling the Red-haired Demon Monkey and the Golden Winged Mantis from afar.

Over by the snake eggs, the wave of Divine Sense approached Lin Shiming once again, its anxious emotions fixated on its Superior Grade Spirit Stone.

It even angrily demanded that Lin Shiming hit the Mingxin wood demon.

This left Lin Shiming somewhat at a loss between laughter and tears. After inserting two more Superior Grade Spirit Stones into the vicinity of the snake eggs, the snake egg''s divine thoughts finally calmed down a bit.

As soon as the storm of Spiritual Energy ended, dark clouds appeared in the sky.

This left Lin Shiming extremely surprised; the Mingxin Tea Tree and the Jin Lei Bamboo indeed earned him a glimpse of their reputation.

But the next moment, what left him caught between laughter and tears was the appearance of lightning flashing amidst the dark clouds in the sky, hidden and visible intermittently.

The sound of rumbling thunder began to resound—especially oppressive.

At this moment, Lin Shiming''s gaze became solemn. As the Mingxin Tea Tree was merely breaking through to the Third Rank, yet it had somehow attracted Heavenly Tribulation; this seemed rather sinister to him.

But at the same time, he was concerned that the Mingxin Tea Tree might be struck dead by a thunderous blast of the Heavenly Tribulation.

He contacted the wood demon with his Divine Sense, only to find that it did not convey any anxious emotions, but instead, a sense of anticipation.

This reassured Lin Shiming.

However, in the next instant, he saw that the area where the Jin Lei Bamboo was growing also began to glow brightly, and the two-to-three meters tall Jin Lei Bamboo started to sway as well.

This made Lin Shiming even more puzzled!
