Chapter 107 The Support of the Seventh Great-Uncle
However, at this moment, the state of each cultivator varied. Lin Xianzhi and Qian Bosheng were clearly at ease, while Qian Zichu and Qian Ziyun were also not relaxed, with sweat forming at their brows.
The worst cases were Lin Shiming and Lin Houyong.
Lin Houyong appeared pale, his True Yuan seemingly exhausted by the effort to break the formation.
As for Lin Shiming, his condition was extremely poor, his body trembling incessantly, as if he could stop at any moment, which would mean failure in breaking the formation.
"Truly waste of the Lin Family!" The voice of Qian Ziyun came through coldly.
The expressions of the three from the Qian Family were not pleasant, having paid a lot, they would regard it as torture if the formation remained unbroken due to Lin Shiming\'s failure, necessitating starting over.
Lin Shiming did not respond, as if he were no longer capable of even replying.
Qian Bosheng and Qian Ziyun then turned their gaze towards Lin Xianzhi.
The latter was still easy-going, as if Lin Shiming was not even a member of their Lin Family, or as if he simply did not care about whether the formation would break or not.
Seeing this, the Qian Family members were furious, but eventually Qian Bosheng helplessly took out another bottle of Hundred-Year Spirit Milk.
They originally wanted to toss over True Essence Elixirs, but were extremely wary of them, fearing the other party would not consume them.
On the contrary, the Hundred-Year Spirit Milk was pure, and any tampering would greatly diminish its spiritual energy.
This was also the most trustworthy and could not be faked.
"Thanks to all the fellow Daoists!" Lin Shiming said as the bottle of Hundred-Year Spirit Milk was tossed to him.

He immediately consumed it in a single gulp.
At this point, he couldn\'t care less about incurring jealousy; he needed to restore his True Yuan. If he couldn\'t restore it to three times the amount, he at least needed to restore it to twice the original.
After consuming the spirit milk, Lin Shiming once again spurred on his spells.
But his spell power was forever only at the level of someone who had just reached Foundation Establishment.
The Qian Family still harbored some doubt, but upon remembering that Lin Shiming was struggling even to cut down the Fire Cloud Bird, they ceased to concern themselves with him.
It was just a pity for the Hundred-Year Spirit Milk.
When tossing it to Lin Shiming, they also gave a bottle to Lin Houyong.
The two of them restored their True Yuan and resumed breaking the formation.
After another day passed, Lin Shiming obtained another bottle of Hundred-Year Spirit Milk from the Qian Family.
In between, Qian Bosheng repeatedly proposed that they retrieve the treasures first, but Lin Xianzhi rejected him time after time.
He suggested that when the time came for Lin Shiming and the others to pick treasures, the Qian Family members could choose first.
The careless demeanor of Lin Xianzhi infuriated Qian Bosheng, but there was nothing he could do.
They could not afford to stop and could only look resentfully at Lin Shiming and Lin Xianzhi.
One was putting on an act, the other completely indifferent.
After receiving another bottle of Hundred-Year Spirit Milk, Lin Shiming\'s True Yuan was almost restored to two and a half times the original level.
And it was at this time that, with a crisp sound, the formation shattered.
Immediately after, the members of the Qian Family rushed into the Mo Yun Mansion, while Lin Xianzhi of the Lin Family did not move an inch.
Lin Shiming was puzzled; this would mean handing all the treasures over to the Qian Family.
After all, these were secret treasures and inheritances left by the Purple Mansion Family, along with a Fourth Rank Spiritual Vein, each item of extreme value.
However, the next moment, Lin Xianzhi and Lin Houshou took out a large number of formation flags.
These array flags were clearly prepared in advance. Lin Houshou now also knew of the crisis the Lin Family was facing and was exceptionally cautious. He appeared to be muttering to himself as he placed one array flag after another, explaining their positions and the degree of True Yuan release as he went along.
This scene shocked Lin Shiming to the core.
They were modifying a Fourth Rank Formation!
No wonder the Seventh Great-Uncle remained fearless!
"Shiming, I found the method to arrange this Nine Elemental Profound Heavenly Formation in Huangyun Qi\'s Storage Bag. I also had Hou Shou study it for a full seven years!"
"It was only recently that I thought of simplifying the formation, which is also why we originally agreed to the Qian Family\'s terms!"
Seeing Lin Shiming\'s confusion, Lin Xianzhi\'s voice reached his ears.
This made him realize that indeed, no old cultivator in the cultivation world was to be trifled with easily.
The Qian Family hid their true cultivation techniques and levels!
But the Lin Family, using the remaining formation foundation after breaking the original formation, arranged a simplified version of the Nine Elemental Profound Heavenly Formation.
This Nine Elemental Profound Heavenly Formation was inferred by the Array Master and cast using spirit arts by Lin Xianzhi.
Its principle was similar to the Formation Artifact Manual; both leveraged external forces to temporarily boost one\'s skill level.
Of course, this also involved ceaseless practice by the second elder and the seventh great uncle.
Waiting for the Green Mystique Conference was just a front; perhaps practicing this formation was also a reason why Lin Xianzhi wanted to extend the time to explore the secrets of the mansion\'s cave dwelling.
After all, he had come to survey it seven years ago and had even brought Lin Houshou here several times over those seven years.
Otherwise, they wouldn\'t have been this proficient.
The simplified Nine Elemental Profound Heavenly Formation was only of the level of a Third Rank Supreme Grade formation.
But bear in mind, this was a Third Rank Supreme Grade grand formation supported by a Fourth Rank Spiritual Vein. A formation controlled by someone is vastly different from one that isn\'t!
This is as if trying to breach the enemy\'s Mountain Protection Array. Without absolute power to overwhelm, it would be laughable.
The formation was quickly completed, and as the last spell was cast, the light shield reformed!
Moreover, in the sky, nine kinds of weapons made from the spiritual energy of the Spirit Vein appeared.
True Essence Sword, True Essence Spear, True Essence Axe, True Essence Hook, True Essence Halberd, True Essence Knife, True Essence Tower, True Essence Whip, True Essence Shield.
A Nine Elemental Grand Array that combines trapping, suppression, defense, and attack in one.
At this moment, all nine magical artifacts were only of Third Rank Supreme Grade, while a truly complete Nine Elemental Profound Heavenly Formation would consolidate legionnaire weapons equivalent to Fourth Rank Magical Treasures.
Once the formation was arranged, the Qian Family members, who had just ransacked the place, rushed out furiously.
"Lin Xianzhi, hand over the Fourth Rank Spiritual Vein, or you can forget about leaving this place!" Qian Bosheng roared. They had already collected the treasures.
Including Purple Mansion cultivation techniques, secret Purple Mansion methods, even methods to refine Fourth Rank Magical Treasures, and actual Fourth Rank Purple Mansion Magical Treasures!
Their gain was beyond expectation!
They all joyfully accepted these items, believing that the Lin Family was scared,
knew their place, but little did they know, as they were collecting the Spirit Vein, a formation had taken shape, not only covering the Spirit Vein but also beginning to expel them from the Mo Yun Mansion.
"Oh, the same words go for you, leave behind all Purple Mansion secret manuals, along with a Purple Mansion treasure, and then you may leave!" Lin Xianzhi also spoke with a cold laugh.
The three men were instantly defiant, and they sneered.
Their cultivation levels suddenly and eerily broke through; Qian Bosheng reached Foundation Establishment Perfection, Qian Ziyun and Qian Zichu both reached the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.
However, even with their formidable abilities, they could not resist being suppressed by the nine elemental legionnaire weapons.
They were barely holding on when Qian Bosheng shouted out loud:
"Lin Xianzhi, if you kill us, your Lin Family won\'t live either. Our Qian Family\'s old patriarch has already reached the half-step to the Purple Mansion Realm!"
