Chapter 26: Chapter 26 Qingxuan Spirit Contract
```
"Impossible, our Huang Family also has cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage!" The Huang Family members all had ashen faces, especially Huang Kaili.
Ten shops – that was virtually all of their family's business.
This would mean a contraction of the Huang Family's business empire, which would hinder their ability to support three Foundation Establishment cultivators.
It could even affect the prospects of the younger cultivators.
"Impossible? Then all of you stay here! I'll retrieve them myself," Lin Xianzhi said indifferently.
He still looked as composed and detached as ever, always giving off the false impression that he did not care in the least.
However, the cold sword qi in his eyes and the Qinglian Sword hanging high on his back made the Huang Family members' faces stiffen.
In a moment, they found themselves unable to agree or disagree.
"Don't be afraid. Even if I were to slash for a day and a night without killing anyone, I would still let you leave!" Lin Xianzhi spoke again.
Then, with another point of his finger, the Qinglian Sword immediately burst with light, layers of Green Lotuses surged, and sword qi swept across.
"We agree!" Huang Kaiyu gritted his teeth, his agreement steeped in extreme humiliation.
They could no longer withstand that one sword strike, let alone for a day and a night.
The terror of a sword cultivator was beyond their imagination. Indeed, Huang Kaiyu felt that Lin Xianzhi had progressed further on the path of sword cultivation, possibly having reached the first realm of Sword Intent, Sword Light Transformation.
Even faced with such humiliation, he had no choice but to agree.
Otherwise, the thirty-plus members of the Huang Family feared they would all meet their end here.
The reason Lin Xianzhi was framed by the Purple Mansion Family behind them was precisely because this man was a lunatic wearing a human face.
He really could do it!
"The deeds of the shops and one hundred Second Rank Spirit Trees will complete the transfer in a month," Huang Kaiyu said deflatedly, while the Huang Family members behind him at that moment shot cold glares, but upon being glared at by the Lin Family, they lowered their heads.
"Sign this!" Lin Xianzhi took out a sheepskin scroll from his storage bag and tossed it over.
"Qingxuan Spirit Contract!" Seeing the scroll, the Huang Family members' expressions turned uglier, and for a moment, their hands froze while receiving the scroll.
This Qingxuan Spirit Contract was issued by one of the Zhao Kingdom's three great sects, the Qingxuan Sect. To see the scroll was as good as seeing the Qingxuan Sect itself.
Once the contract is signed, no one would dare to break it.
Unless one could contend with a Golden Core True Person.
"What's wrong, want to taste the sword?" Lin Xianzhi gestured with the Qinglian Sword and spoke again.
Upon seeing the Qinglian Sword, Huang Kaiyu involuntarily ducked, signing the Qingxuan Spirit Contract with great humiliation.
Once signed, the members of the Huang Family had no choice but to leave in disgrace, each resembling a deflated cucumber.
If they were full of bluster when they arrived, they were now in complete disarray.
"The Family Head is mighty!"
"Seventh Uncle is mighty!"
"Seventh Great-Uncle is mighty!"
"Seventh Ancestor-Uncle is mighty!"
As soon as the Huang Family left, the Lin Family members immediately erupted in enthusiastic cheers, especially those who stayed in Peach Blossom Valley.
Having survived a calamity, even those who normally remained calm couldn't help but cheer for their old Family Head.
Only Lin Shiming was puzzled.
The old Family Head was being muddle-headed; these people should have all been killed.
Even just now, he had already thrown down three seeds of the highly poisonous Snake Vine Flower.
But what no one noticed was that Lin Shiming was also continuously drinking Spiritual Wine.
The moment Lin Xianzhi killed a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he too would act, controlling at least three cultivators at the Ninth Level of Qi Cultivation.
With the remaining four Ninth-Level Elder Qi Cultivators and the Lin Family's momentum soaring, it was uncertain if any of the Huang Family members could leave alive.
Secrets could only be kept by the dead.
Even if the secret got out after killing so many, it wouldn't be a loss!
```
As long as one of the two Foundation Establishment stages remained, the Lin Family would reap enormous benefits.
As for the ten shops and one hundred Spirit Trees, even if there were more resources, it would be feeding a tiger to one's own detriment.
Lin Shiming could not understand, so much so that during the previous cheers, he remained silent.
After Lin Xianzhi finished speaking, he did not utter another word and strode into Peach Blossom Valley, leaving the rest of the people behind.
"Father, are you all right? I received a message from Third Sister and immediately returned to Fangmu Mountain to pass on the news," Lin Shiming went up to greet Lin Houyuan.
On the Spirit Boat, he had seen his father being attacked by a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and at that moment, he had indeed broken out into a cold sweat.
The gap between Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation was definitely more than just the difference between liquid True Yuan and gaseous Spiritual Energy!
What's more, Lin Houyuan did not have any Inner Armor; his Second Rank Superior Grade Inner Armor was on Lin Shiming.
"No harm done, I even got to experience Foundation Establishment in advance, which was a great gain!" said Lin Houyuan nonchalantly. Then, as the Family Head, he began to direct the people once more.
At this moment, he did not dare to hesitate any further, ordering all the Spirit Plant Masters of the family to mobilize and begin transplanting all the Spirit Plants.
Even if the Spirit Peaches were not yet ripe and it would affect the yield, he could not care less at this moment.
Better to have less trouble than more; when it was time to make choices, one had to decide.
That night, all members of the Lin Family were busy, and Lin Shiming was no exception.
Although he was not a Second Rank Spirit Plant Master, with his experience learning about Spirit Plants, he was assisting on the side.
With the help of system prompts, he even had some unique insights on certain special techniques for transplanting Spirit Plants, which yielded some gains for the other Spirit Plant Masters of the family.
Of course, it was Lin Shiming who gained the most.
Transplanting the Spirit Plants took a full two days, a total of one Second Rank Intermediate Grade Spirit Peach Tree and forty-eight Second Rank Inferior Grade Spirit Peach Trees.
All of the Lin Family's Jade Boxes were used up, but not a single person showed any sign of distress, as one well-cared-for Spirit Peach Tree could be worth thousands of Spirit Jades.
Lin Houshou smiled as he counted these Jade Boxes; after all, these Spirit Peaches would go into the Treasure Pavilion.
"Shiming, Seventh Great-Uncle is looking for you!" From afar, the Second Elder's voice full of admiration reached him first, followed by the Elder appearing on a Sword Light Transformation before Lin Shiming.
"Okay! Thank you again, Second Grandpa!" Lin Shiming bowed respectfully.
"You, my boy, truly have both talent and luck. Seventh Great-Uncle has sought you out twice already," said Second Elder Lin Yuqi with a laugh.
"Second Grandpa, you flatter me again; I am aware of my own limits," replied Lin Shiming humbly.
After bidding farewell to Lin Yuqi, Lin Shiming mounted his Sword Light Transformation and flew toward the cave dwelling above the Second Rank Superior Grade Spirit Vein.
Arriving in front of the cave, Lin Shiming jumped down from the Spirit Sword and respectfully called out to the cave dwelling.
"Seventh Great-Uncle."
"Come in," Lin Xianzhi's calm voice came from inside, and Lin Shiming rose and flew in on his Sword Light Transformation.
Next to the familiar Spirit Pool, Lin Shiming found Lin Xianzhi.
The latter was once again sitting in meditation on a lotus leaf in the Spirit Pool.
Upon seeing Lin Shiming approach, Lin Xianzhi stood up.
"You have questions?" Lin Xianzhi asked.
"To answer Seventh Great-Uncle, indeed, I do not understand!"
"The Huang Family clearly had ulterior motives that day; how could they be let off lightly!" Lin Shiming expressed his confusion and released the dissatisfaction he held inside.
"That matter!" Lin Xianzhi chuckled, then took out a Jade Bottle.
"Actually, I did have that thought at the time!"
Lin Shiming was familiar with this Jade Bottle, it was the one he used to store the Second Rank Supreme Grade Spiritual Wine.
When the Jade Bottle reached Lin Shiming's hands, he saw that it was completely empty, and at that moment, Lin Shiming finally understood.
His respect for this Seventh Great-Uncle rose once again in his heart.
At that time, Lin Xianzhi had not recovered to his peak; he had relied on Monkey Wine, just as Lin Shiming had used Monkey Wine to stimulate the Snake Vine Flower.
That first time, when Huang Kaiyu begged for mercy, Lin Shizhi did take action, but he was blocked by two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Huang Family who defended with their lives.
And to perform another sword technique, he no longer had Spiritual Energy; Seventh Great-Uncle had not recovered to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.
