15: Spirit Detection Plate and Fire Explosion Talisman

Lin Li and Lin Qi, the two brothers, arrived at Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff.

On Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff, strange rocks stood in abundance.

Coupled with Cloud Mist Mountain's inherently vast and misty nature, finding Lin Yongmao's hiding place was not easy.

However, all of this was actually nothing for Cultivators.

Lin Li and Lin Qi, the two brothers, both had decent talent, with their cultivation reaching Qi Refining Stage Seventh Level and Qi Refining Stage Eighth Level respectively.

"Let's split up and search. Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff is only so big; finding a spirit field isn't a difficult task."

"But, be sure to be careful not to alert him. If Lin Yucheng and his wife are here, we must leave quickly."

Lin Li, as the elder brother, repeatedly urged.

"Alright!"

Lin Li and Lin Qi split up. Before making a move, they had to first find Lin Yongmao's spirit field. Only then could they follow the clues and kill him without leaving a trace.

...

"Check-in successful. Congratulations on obtaining [low-grade spirit soil] x 1."

Without surprise, today's check-in reward was again low-grade spirit soil.

A large amount of low-grade spirit soil accumulated at Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff, and Lin Yongmao could only continuously expand the scope of his spirit field.

If there was no way to increase Luck, the daily check-in rewards from the God Farmer Sign-in System should all be low-grade spirit soil.

Or perhaps a critical reward was needed to obtain other more valuable resources from checking in.

Although low-grade spirit soil was considered a very good reward, Lin Yongmao was not satisfied.

After spreading the low-grade spirit soil in the spirit field, Lin Yongmao planned to start reading the "Medium-Level Spiritual Plant Compendium."

But just then, a sneaky figure caught his attention.

"Is that... Lin Qi?"

Lin Yongmao saw a middle-aged man looking around, occasionally using a compass to detect something.

This middle-aged man was wearing the uniform of the Lin Family Guard Team. In Lin Yongmao's memory, this was Lin Qi, a member of the Family Guard Team.

Because of the Tier 1 Illusion Formation, Lin Yongmao could see Lin Qi outside the Formation, but Lin Qi could not see Lin Yongmao, his spirit field, or his stone house inside the Formation.

If he was just here to patrol, there was no need to spend so much time, nor was there a need to use any tools for detection.

"Could it be, this is for me again?"

Lin Yongmao's heart tightened. This was truly endless.

If he kept doing this, what if he accidentally stumbled upon the energy shield of the Tier 1 Guardian Formation? He might actually be able to find his location.

He gently crushed a Sense Talisman. It was better to inform his parents about this situation.

Lin Yongmao had no intention of making a move himself. Although he could rely on the Hallucination Heart Flower to confuse Lin Qi's mind, making him completely lose his combat ability, and then kill him.

But this method could not solve his problem once and for all.

Calling Lin Yucheng and Han Yuying over would inevitably expose the person behind Lin Qi.

...

Lin Qi held a compass-shaped Magical Artifact. This was a Medium Grade Magical Artifact given to him by Lin Yukai, named the Spirit Detecting Plate.

The Spirit Detecting Plate could detect spiritual substances nearby, such as Spirit Stone veins, spiritual plants, Spirit Medicine, and so on.

Unfortunately, the range of this type of Spirit Detecting Plate was limited, only able to detect spiritual substances within a dozen meters.

Of course, there were also High Grade Magical Artifacts, and even Spiritual Artifact Spirit Detecting Plates, which had an extremely wide detection range.

Lin Qi, while holding the Spirit Detecting Plate and detecting, quietly complained, "The Spiritual Qi in this place is truly thin. How could anyone open up a spirit field here? Captain must have made a mistake, right?"

He groped forward in the thick fog. Suddenly, the Spirit Detecting Plate emitted a strong light that did not extinguish for a long time.

Lin Qi took a deep breath and thought, "Could there really be a spirit field nearby? Is Lin Yongmao really hiding here?"

As Lin Qi thought, Lin Yongmao's parents were formidable individuals. He naturally wouldn't be content to waste time here, but rather would Cultivate spirit fields in better locations and of higher quality, or simply hide at home to Cultivate.

After the Spirit Detecting Plate reacted, he did not rush to act, but first tried to contact his elder brother, Lin Li, using a secret technique.

Members of the Lin Family Guard Team had a set of secret techniques that allowed them to sense each other when not too far apart, which greatly facilitated patrols.

Soon, Lin Li also arrived here.

Just outside Lin Yongmao's Tier 1 Guardian Formation and Tier 1 Illusion Formation.

Of course, none of this escaped Lin Yongmao's eyes. Lin Yongmao watched as Lin Qi called Lin Li over.

"Brother, I think I've found Lin Yongmao. His spirit field is nearby, it's just covered by the thick fog."

After searching carefully for a while, Lin Li spoke, "There is a Formation. He should have set up an Illusion Formation within the spirit field's range, which is why we can't see what's inside."

"What do we do now? Should we force our way through the Formation?"

Lin Li fell into a dilemma. Although he now knew Lin Yongmao's hiding place, he dared not act rashly.

If they clearly knew this was a spirit field belonging to a Lin Family disciple and they acted rashly, wouldn't that violate the Family rules?

As a Family with spiritual plants as its Foundation, harming a Spiritual Plant Master was no light offense.

He gritted his teeth, even his masseter muscles bulging, and said firmly, "Act! We must complete this mission, otherwise, we cannot report to the Captain."

Lin Qi regarded his elder brother as his backbone. Since Lin Li had said so, he naturally had no objection.

Although Lin Li's voice was not loud, it clearly reached Lin Yongmao's ears.

"Captain... that would be Third Uncle..."

"Third Uncle and Lin Yongrong have an unusual relationship. No wonder the Guard Team found their way here..."

Lin Yongmao quickly sorted out the stakes involved.

Lin Li and Lin Qi, the two brothers, decided to act, naturally intending to kill completely and destroy all traces.

The two of them each took out a Flying Sword, and both Flying Swords were Medium Grade Magical Artifacts.

Given their cultivation and status in the Family, they generally would not be able to possess Medium Grade Magical Artifacts. These should have been temporarily lent to them by Lin Yukai.

The two Flying Swords were as thin as cicada wings and very light, but their attack power and sharpness were both very impressive.

After finding the energy shield of the Guardian Formation, they attacked together, concentrating all their attacks on a single point.

Lin Yongmao was not flustered. This was not the first time he had seen such a situation.

First, he activated the Formation Plate, increasing the defensive strength of the attacked area. With their cultivation, they would not be able to easily break through the energy shield in a short time.

Then, he intended to activate the Hallucination Heart Flower's ability.

Lin Li saw that two attacks were fruitless and cursed, "Damn it!"

"We'd better finish this quickly. Take out the Talismans! First, use the Talismans to blast a hole in this Formation, and then the person inside will naturally be easy to deal with."

Lin Qi nodded and took out three Talismans from his Storage Pouch.

All three Talismans were extremely precious Huobao Talismans.

The Huobao Talisman was a Tier 1 High Grade Talisman. Although it was a one-time consumable, this item was not cheap; each one cost around three hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

The damage caused by a Huobao Talisman was equivalent to a full-power strike from a Qi Refining Stage Great Perfection Cultivator.

Coupled with its fire attribute's explosive nature, its destructive power was extremely strong.

Lin Li and Lin Qi, the two brothers, couldn't find the Formation's weak point, so they decided to use brute force, directly breaking it with Talismans.

Each of them had three Huobao Talismans, a total of six, which they instantly activated with their Spiritual Qi.

Turbulent fire-attribute Spiritual Qi boiled around them.
