At this moment, the Council Hall had been renovated once again to become a two-story building, a symbol of a Foundation Establishment Family Head. If Lin Shiming were to break through to the Purple Mansion stage and still be the Family Head, it would be transformed into a three-story building.

On the second floor of the Council Hall, Lin Shiming saw Lin Yuqing, the Great Elder of the Lin Family, shakily and eagerly waiting. His heart settled somewhat upon seeing Lin Shiming enter.

Behind the Great Elder, Lin Yuqing, stood a middle-aged man of around fifty years old. The man was also dressed in fine robes, his features exuded vigor, bearing a slight resemblance to the Great Elder in his younger days, also anxiously waiting on the side.

This man was none other than Lin Yuqing\'s son, Lin Qiuxian. Since he was a commoner, he did not carry the generational naming convention and usually resided in Xing County!

Behind his son, a child of about eight years old clung to the hem of Lin Qiuxian\'s robe, his small eyes full of curiosity as he looked around. When Lin Shiming entered, the child\'s gaze never left him.

"Great-grandfather!" Lin Shiming greeted with a bow.

The latter gestured with a wave of his hand and bowed:

"Family Head!"

Each addressed the other respectfully, a formality Lin Shiming had grown accustomed to over the years. After all, not only was he the Family Head, but he was also a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, a status that ranked him as the second most important person in the Lin Family.

"Great-grandfather, let\'s keep this matter confidential!" Lin Shiming of course knew that Lin Yuqing\'s grandson had been found to possess a Spirit Root, and not just any Spirit Root, but the legendary Thunder Spirit Root.

Such an abnormal Spirit Root could, in some sense, be considered equivalent to a pure Spirit Root. It would be fine if such a disciple appeared in a Sect because the Sect could protect them. But if such a disciple emerged in a family and word got out, it was highly likely that the Sect would coerce them into joining through threats or temptations!

Particularly since this abnormal Spirit Root belonged to someone so young, whose mind had not yet matured. Explore more stories with mvl

"No second person knows. I personally conducted the test on Qiuxian\'s descendant in Xing County. Even if there were extraordinary signs, no one would know it\'s an abnormal Spirit Root. Not even Lin Qiuxian shall know, and in the future, he will retire on Fangmu Mountain," Lin Yuqing said, trying hard to suppress his emotions, but he couldn\'t hide the excitement in his voice.

Previously, whether it was Lin Yuqi or Lin Houyuan, he was extremely envious of them.

Now that his grandson had turned out to be an abnormal Spirit Root, destined to be renowned for all time, how could he not be thrilled?

"Alright, Great-grandfather, Shiming trusts the way you handle matters. Shilei will be entered into the family records as a Third Spirit Root member. As for the family stipends, he will be given three times the base stipend, and will also be listed as a disciple supported by the family. All additional stipends will be issued in my name.

Additionally, Great-grandfather, you too can enjoy ten years of triple stipends!"

"Family Head, may my portion of the stipend also be allocated to Shilei? I am old, and have no use for more Spirit Stones!" Lin Yuqing spoke with great nervousness.

In truth, according to his character, he would normally not fuss over things, but when it came to his grandson, concerning his prodigiously talented grandson with an abnormal Spirit Root, this was the first time he felt so anxious.

"Rest assured, Great-grandfather. The decision on this Spirit Stone stipend naturally rests with you. If you make this decision, the family would be more than supportive!" Lin Shiming nodded in agreement.

"Furthermore, Great-grandfather, Shilei will be personally looked after by you. When the Seventh Great-Uncle returns, given our victory over the Li Family\'s Li Xiulei, it is possible we may even acquire Li Xiulei\'s Cultivation Technique!"

"Shilei, come here, good child, and meet your seventh brother!" Seeing this, Lin Yuqing was overjoyed and pulled Lin Shilei over. The latter appeared rather frightened, but under his father\'s encouragement, he approached Lin Shiming.

"Seventh Brother!"

Upon hearing the childlike \'Seventh Brother\', Lin Shiming couldn\'t help but smile. The family finally had an abnormal Spirit Root, so he reached into his Storage Bag and pulled out a Thunder Hook, one of the four Supreme Grade Magic Artifacts crafted by Lin Yutie for him.

"This Thunder Hook will be Shilei\'s gift for his immortal cultivation!"

"It\'s so valuable, how could I possibly accept it?" Lin Yuqing naturally understood the importance of a supreme grade magic artifact.

This Thunder Hook, if sold in the markets, could fetch five to six thousand Spirit Stones, and at an auction, the price could rise to seven or eight thousand Spirit Stones.

"How could you not accept it, when it\'s just a Second Rank magic artifact?" Lin Shiming said indifferently, his mind turning back to his own first mission when Lin Yuqing also gave him a large amount of Spirit Water.

In the end, under Lin Shiming\'s insistence, Lin Yuqing accepted the gift for Lin Shilei, who would be able to use the supreme grade magic artifact later on in the Qi Cultivation phase. With Lin Shilei\'s talent, reaching the later stages of Qi Cultivation would not be too far off.

Having dealt with the matter of the extraordinary Spirit Root, Lin Shiming returned to the Qinglian Pool to begin retraining the Nine Swords Formation, as well as refining the newly acquired Kuimu Shield, Tiangang Sword Formation, and the Fiery Flame Banner.

For ten whole days, Lin Shiming was in the cave mansion, refining the magic artifacts.

As the sun rose high once again, it signaled the beginning of a new day.

Lin Shiming exhaled a breath of turbid air. At this moment, he had finally made an initial refinement of the Tiangang Sword Formation and the Fiery Flame Banner, imprinting them with his mark, while the Formation Swords were placed back into the Spirit Platform for further refinement.

With most matters now handled, Lin Shiming finally found time to cultivate a new Third Rank spiritual vine he had acquired.

He had consulted many secret texts about this vine with no records to be found; he would have to cultivate it and then observe its effects.

Lin Shiming specifically chose a small mountain behind Fangmu Mountain, where he started by channeling spirit energy. Unlike Second Rank vines, the Third Rank vine absorbed True Yuan at a terrifying rate.

As he executed the cultivating Spirit Art, with a loud boom, a seed erupted into countless vines. These vines, all purple in color, quickly filled the sky, writhing like purple spirit serpents dancing high above.

But apart from this, they seemed to have no other notable characteristics.

However, the next moment, Lin Shiming was astounded to find that, in addition to growing through the sky, the roots underground were growing just as wildly and were extremely thick, their tips like spears rampaging through the soil!

This delighted him exceedingly; the roots\' ability to attack was certainly beyond anyone\'s expectations and would definitely be a significant asset at critical moments.

"Certainly worthy of a seed from the Purple Mansion Cave Mansion, let\'s call it the Purple Gold Vine," Lin Shiming told himself as he looked at the vines with increasing joy.

Not only was the Purple Gold Vine plentiful and tough, it could easily bind a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and also transform its roots into purple gold spears for attack.

He couldn\'t help but prioritize the cultivation of the Purple Gold Vine seeds.

And on that same day, a Spirit Boat appeared once again above the Lin Family\'s residence.

It was Lin Xianzhi returning, accompanied by his senior brother, Xie An. However, that was not all; following behind them, an old man in purple robes slowly emerged.

Upon closer inspection, it was none other than the Zi Xuan Hermit!

This took Lin Shiming by surprise; he hadn\'t expected the Zi Xuan Hermit to come, setting off a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

"Shiming, come quickly and pay your respects to Master!" Lin Xianzhi sent a telepathic message to Lin Shiming.
