Chapter 408: Red Leaf True Person's Reward, the Reappearance of the Star Spirit Clam Tribe (Two in One)
The newly discovered island was quickly named Jiuyue Island and became a part of the Lin Family.
The island was vast and extremely suitable for development, and it even possessed a Fourth Rank Superior Grade Spirit Vein; if not deemed dangerous, it was not much less than Heavenly Phenomenon Island.
At the same time, those remaining Purple Mansion Cultivators from Heavenly Phenomenon Island couldn't help but feel a chill, as the Lin Family had also obtained the Jiuyue Formation to guard Jiuyue Island.
It was known that when Lin Shiming issued the call for troops, they had quite a few reservations.
Especially two individuals who had openly voiced their objections.
One of the two had already died, leaving only a cultivator known as Jiuxiao Scatter Man feeling regretful at this moment.
He was currently ranked second on Heavenly Phenomenon Island's Purple Mansion list, which was also the reason he had the confidence to talk back to Lin Shiming.
In his opinion, Lin Shiming was not even comparable to Jiuxiao Scatter Man, so how could he order him around,
and even block the Transmission Formation.
But now, Lin Shiming's display of strength was nothing short of that of a cultivator in the late stages of the Purple Mansion, and he had also gained the favor of True Person Red Leaf.
"Additionally, Shiming, this time you have led Heavenly Phenomenon Island in slaying quite a number of Demonic Beasts, so this time I will reward Heavenly Phenomenon Island with three pillars of Ziji Tan, three Zi Xuan Precious Jades, a portion of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, twenty Red Lotus Pills! Two hundred Foundation Establishment Pills, and all the Demonic Beasts you have killed yourselves will belong to you!" True Person Red Leaf made her announcement in a very generous manner.
Such lavish rewards left Lin Shiming momentarily stunned, but then he was filled with immense joy.
Before the call for troops, he had promised an auction event, insisting on having Zi Xuan Precious Jade and a large quantity of Foundation Establishment Pills; he had not expected True Person Red Leaf to bestow all of it upon them this time.
The rewards given this time were incredibly generous.
Not to mention the strategic significance of Ziji Tan, the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid itself was extremely precious, and to have three Zi Xuan Precious Jades was extraordinary.
Currently, the Lin Family was in dire need of Spiritual Medicine for breaking through to the Purple Mansion stage.
But soon Lin Shiming also realized that this was True Person Red Leaf's way of showing concern that should he go to Tianliu Island and fail to negotiate successfully, he might take Lin Family cultivators and defect directly to Tianliu Island.
After all, she had seen for herself the strength and potential of the Lin Family cultivators, a fairly common situation within the Coral Alliance.
Even a marriage into Tianliu Island was a possibility.
In the world of cultivators, strength was everything; with the beast tide imminent, everyone had their own thoughts.
True Person Red Leaf provided both the formation and the reward, indicating to Lin Shiming that he could be protected on Heavenly Phenomenon Island and could also reap a great harvest.
Lin Shiming was naturally overjoyed.
However, he also guessed that the remaining Demon King must have also been slain by True Person Red Leaf.
Having killed two Demon Kings, the materials and Demon Cores they harvested were already among the greatest.
In the midst of his joy, it was only natural to hand down the rewards.
Beyond these awards, what made Lin Shiming even more delighted was that in the Storage Bag given by True Person Red Leaf, there was also a Ziji Tan Spirit Tree, as well as a large amount of Fifth Rank Spirit Soil and Fifth Rank Spirit Water.
The Fifth Rank Spirit Soil and Spirit Water were more than ten times what he had found in the Purple Sun Secret Realm, radiating spiritual light and looking quite dazzling.
She was truly generous.
Lin Shiming felt that this Spirit Soil and Spirit Water were more than enough to allow him to cultivate to the late stage of the Purple Mansion.
It might even make it very possible for the Star Spirit Clam to advance another rank.
And the Fourth Rank Supreme Grade Ziji Tan Spirit Tree also caused brilliant sparks to light up in Lin Shiming's eyes; merely the spiritual fragrance emanating from the Spirit Tree invigorated his spirit.
If the Lin Family were to have such a tree in the future, paired with the Lin Family's Split Spirit Decision, it would be much more convenient for Lin Family cultivators to control Spirit Beasts and Spiritual Puppets.
However, he did not dare to harbor thoughts on the Ziji Tan Spirit Tree.
"Thank you, True Person, for your generous gifts. I, Shiming, will definitely guard Heavenly Phenomenon Island well and will not allow Demonic Beasts to run rampant here!" Lin Shiming respectfully bowed and expressed his gratitude.
"I also promise to do my utmost to complete all tasks!"
With the formation secured, Spirit Soil and Spirit Water acquired, and the Demonic Beasts fled,
all Lin Shiming needed to do was to successfully negotiate with Tianliu Island, and then the Lin Family's foundation would have a measure of security.
Even in the face of a massive beast tide, the Lin Family would have a bit more time to escape.
While Lin Shiming was grateful, those Purple Mansion Cultivators started to busily present their Storage Bags as tribute.
This scene made Lin Shiming's expression solemn.
It seemed that True Person Red Leaf's hold on Xu Ri Island was not particularly certain.
He had thought the treasures of the island had been secured with the tacit approval of True Person Red Leaf.
However, now it seemed that True Person Red Leaf's emergence with the Xu Ri army was also about demonstrating power, meant to serve as a warning to these Purple Mansion Cultivators.
Just as how initially, Lin Shiming had set out with Jiuxiao Scatter Man to establish authority,
they had to dutifully surrender the treasures they obtained.
True Person Red Leaf could reward Lin Shiming, but she could also assign them missions of uncertain life and death.
Once everyone had handed over their treasures, True Person Red Leaf once again gave out rewards.
This time, the rewarding was conducted as per normal.
One Wood Cultivator, known as Qingteng Scatter Man, received the highest reward: a Fourth Rank Supreme Grade defensive Magical Treasure, which even made Lin Shiming a bit envious.
With the treasures individually gifted, the Purple Mansion Cultivators each expressed their gratitude; even those who received less dared not show the slightest dissent.
As for the remaining Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Qi Cultivators, they had their rewards given to them by these Purple Mansion Cultivators.
After everyone expressed their thanks, True Person Red Leaf indicated that she was ready to depart.
After all, with Xu Ri True Person absent, and she herself having led out Fifth Rank Spiritual Puppets and the Red Whale, the defense of Xu Ri Island became even more crucial, affecting whether the Demonic Race could reach Coral Island directly.
If Xu Ri Island were to fall, the Coral Alliance might even directly expel True Person Red Leaf.
Many Purple Mansion Cultivators also bid farewell to Lin Shiming with clasped hands,
suggesting that they would host Lin Shiming when they had the opportunity to visit Xu Ri Island.
