Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 199 News of Ancient Cultivation Techniques!
"Fellow Daoist, I never expected we would be so destined to meet."

While traveling by flying on a sword, a very fast light appeared in the distance, followed by a familiar voice.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the beautiful and tall female cultivator they had encountered on the island earlier, now riding a blue flying boat at an extremely fast speed.

Moreover, there was a pale-faced scholar on the flying boat, staring at the female cultivator.

It seems the two are Daoist partners, and they were clearly somewhat resentful when they saw their Daoist partner talking to someone else.

"I never expected it to be a fellow Daoist."

Upon suddenly encountering an acquaintance, Lin Chang'an's expression hardened. He pretended to be on guard, but secretly nodded in agreement through his senses.

Sure enough, there were only these three people in the surrounding sea.

Three mid-Foundation Establishment stages are not a big problem.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, I've seen this woman on the island before. There can't be so many coincidences. We must be careful."

Master Guan seemed to be secretly sending a warning, and he also seemed to be taking this opportunity to get closer to Lin Chang'an and join forces.

Lin Chang'an nodded in agreement, inwardly marveling at the meticulousness of the three men; each step was intricately linked, enough to confuse anyone.

"Fairy, I have other important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

Lin Chang'an chuckled as he spoke, but the beautiful female cultivator revealed a dangerous smile.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, it seems you really are going to refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. In that case, I will take you back."

The sudden, ruthless voice caused Guan Laodao's expression to change drastically, and he exclaimed, "Fellow Daoist Lin, be careful! These two are Tribulation Cultivators!"

In an instant, Lin Chang'an took out two second-grade high-quality Thunder Shock Talismans.

Two lightning spears shot out instantly, but the two cultivators opposite them were not flustered at all and immediately summoned a defensive spiritual weapon.

"This old Taoist priest is injured, let's kill him first!"

"Fellow Daoist Lin, let's break out together!"

Just then, a cold light suddenly came from behind, and Guan Laodao's anxious face immediately revealed a ruthless cold light.

A flying needle instantly shot towards Lin Chang'an's back.

At the same time, the beautiful and tall female cultivator and the pale-faced scholar both revealed smiles of triumph.

They've already done eight scams by cooperating in this way to harm the cultivators from the Seven Kingdoms Alliance; it's incredibly easy for them.

Today marks the ninth order.

However, a resounding booming sound echoed, directly blocking the old Taoist's flying needles.

"How is this possible!" Old Master Guan's face changed drastically, filled with horror. At such close range, it was impossible for the other party to defend against him, unless the other party had been on guard against him from the very beginning.

"A top-grade spiritual weapon! And it's even from the late Foundation Establishment stage!"

The beautiful and tall female cultivator immediately paled. Upon realizing that the other party was in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, she did not hesitate at all and immediately tried to escape by flying boat.

However, a golden light was even faster than her and attacked directly from behind.

"court death!"

The chilling voice echoed as Lin Chang'an coldly stared at the three of them, his previous amiable demeanor completely gone.

A crimson sword beam, ten feet in length, shot out instantly.

It appeared directly in front of Master Guan, who was horrified and terrified.

The sword light was so powerful that it actually pierced through his magic shield.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, spare my life! I had no choice..."

Blood Spirit Thorn

Just as the sword's edge shattered the opponent's magical shield and he was struggling to defend himself with his defensive artifact, a flash of blood-red light appeared, and Guan Laodao's pupils dilated.

There was already a bit of crimson blood between his eyebrows, pierced by the same flying needle magic weapon.

"Pfft!"

At the same time, the beautiful, tall female cultivator didn't even have time to let out a scream before a golden light flashed, and her beautiful face burst open like a watermelon.

"No! These are Jade Crystal Bees! They're extremely poisonous! Fellow Daoist, spare our lives! Let's escape..."

All of this was accomplished in the blink of an eye, in an instant.

The pale-faced scholar, terrified, tried to flee, but Lin Chang'an's sword light had already flashed towards him, forcing him to defend.

However, at the moment of death, the female cultivator whose head was pierced by the phoenix released countless dense and terrifying swarms of bees from the spirit beast pouch at her waist.

"I want to leave now, but it's too late!"

This time, Lin Chang'an displayed his formidable strength to the fullest. He coldly activated his magical shield, and with a flash of sword light, he blocked the opponent's escape.

Both he and the other person were surrounded by a swarm of bees.

The magical shields around them cracked and splintered, a sight that horrified Lin Chang'an.

"This insect is terrifying."

At the same time, another pale-faced scholar, whose cultivation was at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, was unable to withstand the attack. His magic shield was torn apart and he tried to defend himself with a spiritual artifact.

As a result, Lin Chang'an's sword light directly destroyed the shield formed by his defensive magical artifact, and he was immediately surrounded by the swarm of bees.

The screams echoed directly in the air, sending chills down one's spine.

"Insect Cultivation!"

Lin Chang'an looked at it with a solemn expression. His late-stage Foundation Establishment mana shield was actually cracked, but it could be repaired by his powerful regenerative abilities.

The cracks caused by the densely packed jade crystal bees' bites healed in an instant.

Clearly, the healing process is faster than the biting.

but!

"If you don't eat, I'm leaving."

Lin Chang'an gave a cold shout, and instantly a phoenix cry rang out as the phoenix bird grabbed the storage bags of the three cultivators with its two claws.

It's obvious that the allure of the spirit insects is not as strong as the contents of certain items in these cultivators' storage bags.

However, under Lin Chang'an's cold shout, the phoenix bird transformed into golden lightning, which was practically an indulgent feast.

The Phoenix Bird is known for its ability to subdue malevolent spirits and poisonous insects; he witnessed this firsthand.

Each time, it intercepted the queen bee at just the right moment, and then began to devour the surrounding swarm of bees.

Just like eating beans, the crisp sound was constant.

Seeing this, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but nod secretly.

"Indeed, everything has its counterpart. If it were the Green Horned Ox instead, even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator would probably be helpless."

However, while the phoenix was devouring the bees, Lin Chang'an took a closer look at his spoils.

The flying boat was exquisitely crafted, and Lin Chang'an couldn't help but show his delight upon seeing it.

"I've wanted to buy a flying artifact for a long time, but I haven't had enough spirit stones. I never expected someone to deliver one to me today, and it's even a top-grade flying artifact."

And there were three other corpses. Especially after seeing the unseeing look on Guan Laodao's face, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"Who could have imagined that the kind-hearted old Taoist Guan would one day become a Tribulation Cultivator?"

He then stripped the three of their robes, magical artifacts, and anything of value from them.

However, upon seeing the beautiful female cultivator missing half her head, a sudden change occurred, causing Lin Chang'an's expression to shift. His face darkened as he said:

"Hurry up!" Upon hearing Lin Chang'an's order, the Phoenix Bird, despite having already devoured most of the bees, pecked the queen bee to death in a single bite.

Instantly, the remaining bees scattered and fled, while the queen bee became food for the phoenix.

However, Lin Chang'an did not hesitate and fled with the Phoenix Bird.

What caused his expression to change so drastically was that he saw the beautiful female cultivator's corpse begin to change.

He was all too familiar with this scene; it was exactly how Huang Shaohai had died.

The man and the bird changed direction at full speed and flew for a whole day, finally hiding on a deserted island with little spiritual energy.

……

Inside the cave on the island, there were also array formations set up on all sides.

At this moment, the Green Horned Ox and the Phoenix Crying Bird, two second-tier spirit pets, were on guard outside, while Lin Chang'an inside the cave stretched out his palm with a solemn expression.

The tendrils of a life-giving spiritual plant touched the three cultivators, constantly probing their memories.

Guan Laodao was born into a family of rogue cultivators in the Yue Kingdom. His vague childhood memories kept flashing back to when his parents passed away with smiles on their faces as he became a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

In the end, Guan Laodao cultivated diligently all the way, but was limited by his spiritual root and cultivation method. Unwilling to accept this, he killed a tribulation cultivator once in the Yue Kingdom, and the greed in his heart began to bloom, and then became uncontrollable.

"If the greed in human nature becomes uncontrollable, then one will be manipulated by desire."

Despite Guan Laodao's fragmented memories, Lin Chang'an still had a general understanding of the man's life, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

Then came the pale-faced scholar, born in the Demon Beast Sea Abyss, whose family was wiped out by the beast tide, after which he wandered the world... and finally became a Tribulation Cultivator...

Finally, the beautiful female cultivator had already transformed into a delicate flower, but behind it emanated an aura of death.

As he explored his memories, Lin Chang'an's expression gradually became strange, and finally he gently shook his head.

In the world of cultivation, who isn't innocent? It's just that in the end, everyone's hands are stained with blood.

This female cultivator had a pitiful background, and her journey was extremely difficult. She was betrayed by her sisters and forced to join the Long family on Five Dragons Island.

However, the memory that followed made Lin Chang'an's face turn ugly.

"Five Dragons Island, the Wang family, and ancient martial arts techniques!"

When information about the Wang family in Qingzhushan Market of Yue Kingdom first appeared, Lin Chang'an was shocked. This female cultivator was actually someone planted in the Wang family by the Long family of Five Dragons Island.

Meanwhile, the Wang family and this female cultivator were involved in the last major upheaval on Jade Spirit Island.

"The Wang family actually works under the Long family of Five Dragons Island, but they have always been used as Tribulation Cultivators to eliminate dissidents. This female cultivator was placed in the Wang family and became a Daoist partner with a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Wang family."

Then he practiced the Wang family's secret techniques..."

However, to Lin Chang'an's astonishment and dismay, this secret technique actually had three parts.

"The Wang family obtained two manuals, one on refining techniques and the other on body refining. One of them was in Wang Lin's possession, and then it fell into my hands. The body refining manual should still be in the Wang family's possession..."

At this moment, Lin Chang'an was completely numb. He wondered how this ancient technique could be so weak.

It turns out he only practiced one of the chapters.

Since there are three chapters, does that mean one chapter is about practicing techniques and refining the body, and the other chapter should be about refining the spirit?

"According to the Wang family, the Refining God Scripture should have been snatched by the Li Huo Palace."

Upon receiving this news, Lin Chang'an's expression darkened, his eyes darting around as he considered the potential gains and losses.

Ancient cultivation techniques are of great importance, but judging from the female cultivator's memories, she may not be able to clearly understand everything.

"Perhaps the Wang family didn't discover the true secret of this ancient technique either. In fact, the greatest opportunity lies in the material itself."

At this moment, Lin Chang'an fell into deep thought.

The cultivation manual this female cultivator obtained only allows her to cultivate to the late Foundation Establishment stage. It seems the Wang family has always been wary of this female cultivator.

However, there is another body-refining technique, which is the one that this female cultivator's partner cultivates.

"According to this female cultivator's memories, her return to Five Dragon Island was to report to the Long family and gather intelligence so she could inform the Wang family about their next target for plunder..."

For a moment, Lin Chang'an hesitated.

The allure of ancient cultivation techniques—should we take the risk and explore them?

"After learning their lesson, the Wang family has become cunning, with multiple burrows and constantly shifting their positions. According to this woman's memories, there are now eight Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Wang family bloodline, and the rest were all planted by the Long family..."

"And the place where this female Daoist companion is located seems to only have a few Foundation Establishment cultivators. They have already eliminated three of them, and the opponent's Body Refinement is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. The rest of the Tribulation cultivators are mostly at the late stage of Qi Refining..."

Lin Chang'an was tempted, but he didn't want to take the risk of facing the entire Wang family.

But with only this female cultivator's partner, wouldn't her chances of winning be very high?

"Even though he is a beginner in Body Refinement and Foundation Establishment, and has many subordinates, I also have two second-tier spirit pets, the Azure Horned Ox and the Phoenix Crying Bird. The key to this battle is to capture this person so that I can obtain this cultivation technique."

Of course, if given the opportunity, Lin Chang'an would not mind taking back the original Body Refinement Manual.

After all, the most precious thing is this withered leaf of the Mysterious Heaven Immortal Vine. He has nurtured it for so many years, and it has only recovered less than half of its original size. If he wants the whole leaf to recover, he will probably have to wait until he reaches the Core Formation stage.

If he could obtain another withered leaf, he would save countless amounts of spiritual liquid and time.

"Perhaps there really is a chance."

Even if he fails, he is confident he can escape.

Lin Chang'an seemed to have thought of something, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

He then raised his hand, and the Bloodthirsty Poison Vine appeared, greedily devouring the female cultivator's natal spiritual plant.

A poisonous flower.

After consuming everything, the Bloodthirsty Poison Vine, under his control, slowly emitted the same aura as the poisonous flower.

"Next is me."

As the bloodthirsty poison vine wrapped around his body, a strange aura emanated from him, and he eventually transformed into the appearance of this beautiful and tall female cultivator.

Not only their appearance, but even their magical aura was exactly the same.

"As long as I don't use strength exceeding the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, my disguise won't be seen through, unless it's a Core Formation cultivator or a cultivator with special eye techniques."

The alluring voice echoed, sending a chill down Lin Chang'an's spine. However, thinking of the allure of the ancient cultivation technique, he took a deep breath.

"It's not a big problem. We can deal with the withered leaves of the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine later. Let's get the Body Refining Chapter inheritance first."

After figuring it out, Lin Chang'an took a deep breath and began to refine the spiritual artifact that the female cultivator had used before.

He also possesses the female cultivator's memories, and given her identity, the success rate is very high.

The next day, after everything was ready, he raised his hand and removed the array on the island.

"Moo!"

"Squeak!"

The Green Horned Ox stared wide-eyed. The person in front of it was clearly not its master, and even their magical aura was different.

But that connection was with his master.

The phoenix chirped and twittered, but after a flash of light in its golden pupils, the phoenix seemed to see through him and landed directly on his shoulder.

Seeing that he could distinguish his two spirit pets in one go, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

However, the fact that the phoenix bird could see through his disguise surprised him. At the same time, he secretly warned himself that there were all sorts of strange methods in the cultivation world, and he could not be careless.

"This Bloodthirsty Poison Vine is useful, but it's too difficult to advance to the next level. I'm afraid it can only be used at the Foundation Establishment stage."
