Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 211 Golden Flame Divine Bird [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Five Dragon Island.

After disguising himself, Lin Chang'an was on the third floor of Duobaolou.

"Fellow Daoist, this is top-quality spiritual tea."

The shopkeeper wore a broad smile, while Lin Chang'an nodded in satisfaction.

Actually, the more important reason he chose the Treasure Pavilion of Xuan Yin Pavilion was that he knew that the two Core Formation cultivators of Xuan Yin Pavilion were cultivating on other islands.

There are only a few Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed here, and at most one Pseudo Core Formation cultivator is hidden away.

He at least had some understanding of the Xuan Yin Pavilion, so if things went wrong, he could easily retreat.

He wasn't very clear about the other forces on Five Dragons Island.

"Shopkeeper, I won't waste any more words. We were lucky this time when we sailed out of the sea and managed to obtain these resources, as well as two third-tier demon beast cubs."

Lin Chang'an put the materials down, which immediately made the manager of Duobaolou's eyes light up, and he looked quite excited.

"A third-tier demonic beast cub, and the potential of a near-third-tier demonic beast!"

As for other second-tier monster resources, they are simply incomparable to these two.

"Fellow!"

Just as the shopkeeper was about to take it, Lin Chang'an suddenly took back the cub and the materials of the near-third-tier demon beast.

The shopkeeper's expression immediately turned serious, and he said in a low voice:
"What treasure do you wish to exchange, my friend?"

The cubs of these third-tier demonic beasts are extremely valuable, and most people take the opportunity to exchange them for resources that are usually scarce.

This is also human nature.

Lin Chang'an grinned, a smile spreading across his face.

"I've heard that the elders of Xuan Yin Pavilion don't have much time left. These two cubs of third-tier demonic beasts are quite rare. I've heard before that third-tier spiritual liquid has the effect of healing hidden injuries and cleansing the body of internal poisons."

"Third-tier spirit liquid!" Upon hearing what the other party wanted to exchange, the shopkeeper frowned.

However, considering that this is not the Yue Kingdom, but only their three major sects and later Tianxuan City, it is not the only ones.

In this place, people have this treasure; they can exchange it anywhere.

They simply took advantage of the fact that Xuan Yin Pavilion needed these resources.

"Alright, fellow Daoist, rest assured, my Xuan Yin Pavilion still has quite a few third-tier spiritual liquids."

When the other party took out the third-tier spirit liquid, Lin Chang'an showed a satisfied smile.

It would be a huge loss to exchange these third-tier demon beast cubs for spirit stones.

Subsequently, all other monster resources were exchanged for cultivation materials.

The shopkeeper was secretly alarmed; such a large batch of demon beast resources was not something an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator could obtain.

However, since the other party had at least approached his Xuan Yin Pavilion, and considering the current situation of the sect, the manager lowered his voice and transmitted his thoughts after exchanging the materials:

"Fellow Daoist, please don't blame this old man for being nosy. Some time ago, a True Man Tan came to Five Dragons Island. It is said that he just went to the outer sea to hunt a third-tier Eagle-Kite Beast."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'an smiled, understanding the other party's good intentions, and respectfully cupped his hands in greeting:
"Thank you for telling me, fellow Daoist. If I have any more good goods in the future, I will definitely come to you."

Lin Chang'an then hurriedly left, but he wasn't too surprised by the matter.

Although there are many cultivators in the Five Dragons Island sea area, there are only a few Core Formation cultivators. Suddenly, a Core Formation cultivator from the Azure Sea Palace arrived.

Moreover, news of their previous large-scale hunt of demonic beasts with the Lu family had already spread far and wide.

The hunting of the Eagle-Kite Beast must have become known, and now, after only a month or two, he has produced so many resources again.

It would be easy for people to suspect that they took the opportunity to wipe out this group of eagle-kite beasts.

"It seems that Xuan Yin Pavilion is not in a very good situation either, otherwise they would not have told us about this."

Walking on the streets of the market, Lin Chang'an had already changed his appearance and even his magical aura.

He had thought of this when he was dealing with these materials.

Therefore, he went to Xuan Yin Pavilion and sold everything off at once, so that even if the other party wanted to investigate, he would have already changed his appearance.

"With these spirit stones, I can focus on my cultivation when I get back."

Lin Chang'an nodded secretly, especially at these bottles of third-tier spirit liquid.

Now, his natal spiritual plant shares his glory and his loss; the better the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine is nurtured, the more benefits he receives in return.

If possible, he would prefer to exchange for a Core Formation spiritual item, but unfortunately, his resources are far from sufficient to do so.

"Use these bottles of spiritual liquid to cultivate spiritual plants and practice the Refining God Scripture."

Lin Chang'an had already tasted the benefits of this technique, especially the advantages brought by the Refining Spirit Chapter, such as this powerful perception ability.

It will be of great help in both hunting monsters and sensing danger in the future.

"Moreover, although this technique does not enhance the Core Formation, it is well known in the cultivation world that a strong divine sense is of great benefit to breakthroughs."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but smile. A powerful divine sense would be helpful whether breaking through to the Foundation Establishment or Core Formation stage.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to cultivate his natal spiritual plant.

After all, his most important task right now is to form his core. Once he has formed his core, there will be plenty of opportunities to cultivate his natal spiritual plant.

Whoever revived this natal spiritual plant will also enhance his divine sense.

"Return to the island to cultivate, and then begin preparing the materials for Core Formation."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an's eyes were filled with determination.

While hunting third-tier demonic beasts might be difficult, he could rely on his powerful senses to hunt a large number of second-tier demonic beasts and accumulate resources little by little.

"Moreover, the most difficult thing for normal cultivators to hunt demonic beasts is that they can't sustain it for long."

Whether it's the depletion of magical power or the fatigue and injuries to the body, it makes it difficult for cultivators to last long, and they must return to recuperate every now and then.

However, his current self-healing ability is completely excluded from this category.

Five Dragon Island.

Lin Chang'an took several detours and changed his identity several times before finally taking advantage of the night to secretly reach the island and return to his cave.

"The Mysterious Heavenly Vine, I really don't know how many surprises it will bring in the future."

Inside the cave, as bottles of high-grade third-tier spiritual liquid were poured in, Lin Chang'an's expression became extremely solemn.

Two-thirds of the withered leaves have already shown signs of life, but the roots can only obtain life energy from the leaves.

But as Lin Chang'an slowly retracted his natal spiritual plant into his body, he began to cultivate the Refining Spirit Chapter.

Like the cultivation method, it requires cultivators to possess Foundation Establishment Divine Sense in order to cultivate.

He had already mastered the basics of cultivation, but now, thanks to the nourishment from his natal spiritual plant, he can clearly feel the growth of his divine sense.

And there's also the enhancement of the self-healing body.

……

Time flies, and it's already early spring of the second year.

【Lifespan: 106/283】

[Realm: Late Foundation Establishment (12/100)]

【Eternal Youth Skill (Proficiency: 422/500)】

Inside the cave, with Lin Chang'an's eyes closed, one could not sense his presence at all, or perhaps it was an ancient and mysterious aura that blended with the heavens and earth.

"This technique is truly profound and mysterious."

After slowly opening his eyes, he felt his divine sense growing stronger. Although his cultivation level was only at the late Foundation Establishment stage, his divine sense was already comparable to that of a Pseudo-Core Formation cultivator.

"And this self-healing body."

As Lin Chang'an muttered to himself, he raised his hand and the top-grade spiritual weapon, the Azure Scale Sword, appeared in front of him.

Instantly, a deep wound appeared on his arm, exposing the bone. However, thanks to his powerful self-healing ability, it began to heal rapidly, visibly so.

"This healing ability is comparable to the self-healing bodies of some top-tier third-tier demonic beasts."

Seeing the power of the self-healing body, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but smile.

He could now clearly feel that as long as his head wasn't severely damaged, even if his heart was pierced, it could recover quickly thanks to his powerful physique.

"It is said that there is a fourth-order transformed turtle demon in the outer sea, which has a powerful self-healing body. As long as its magic power does not run out, its physical body will not die."

He had previously faced an attack from three Nascent Soul cultivators, and with this powerful divine ability, he had forced them to retreat without achieving anything.

Even among demonic beasts, the ability to heal oneself is considered a top-tier innate talent.

"Not only has the physical injury recovered, but the recovery of magical power and spiritual consciousness has also been extremely strong."

Lin Chang'an narrowed his eyes as he felt the changes in his body.

He knew that this time, the enhancement of his physique was probably more due to finding the entire Xuan Tian Spiritual Root.

When good things happen, people are in high spirits. As Lin Chang'an walked out of the cave, he saw the lazy green-horned ox at the entrance and the phoenix bird excitedly perched on his shoulder, trying to please him.

"You silly ox, how long has it been? If you don't break through soon, you'll have to find a big pot to boil yourself."

Seeing that the aura surrounding the Green Horned Ox was clearly at a critical point and had not yet broken through, Lin Chang'an glared at it.

The green-horned ox shrank its neck in fright, staring at the bull with its eyes wide open and shaking its head repeatedly in grievance.

Is it that it's not breaking through?

It's clearly a normal monster, while this bird is obviously abnormal.

"But this bird of yours seems a bit off!"

Lin Chang'an frowned, while the phoenix chirped and flapped its wings, seemingly gesturing wildly as if it were saying something.

However, through the spirit beast card, Lin Chang'an could clearly sense the Phoenix's emotions.

"You mean you want to eat the Yin Spirit's Soul?"

Seemingly sensing something, the Phoenix Bird nodded excitedly, its golden feathers shining brightly, and occasionally it could exhale a wisp of pale golden flame from its mouth.

But even this extremely faint wisp of golden flame, used to digest the energy in his stomach, made Lin Chang'an feel a terrifying aura.

"This Phoenix Bird has only been at the breakthrough stage for thirteen years. Is it about to break through again? Or perhaps, at some point, it met the conditions for its evolution?"

Lin Chang'an frowned as he sensed the powerful magic within the Phoenix Bird.

This cultivation speed seems somewhat abnormal, and this phenomenon only appeared after arriving at the Demon Beast Sea Abyss; it didn't exist before.

Regarding food? A near-third-tier demon core? Or did it consume some Yin spirits before?
There couldn't possibly be such a big reaction.

"These strange beasts are like the various mysterious spiritual bodies of cultivators. In comparison, those with Heavenly Spiritual Roots have an absolute advantage in the early stages."

Spirits, on the other hand, can only unleash their full power after cultivating to a high level and practicing techniques suited to their constitution. However, all such spirits undergo a process of awakening and growth.

Lin Chang'an secretly guessed that the Phoenix Bird was not long ago and was currently under his care.

He frequently used his own magical power to cleanse the hidden injuries within the spirit pet's body, allowing the spirit pet to reach a growth stage.

"However, I still lack some knowledge about the secrets of exotic beasts. It seems I'll have to make a trip to Five Dragon Island."

The growth of the Phoenix Bird is crucial to his combat strength. If he misses or delays it, he will regret it to death in the future.

With this in mind, Lin Chang'an left the seclusion and prepared to go to Five Dragons Island.

To outsiders, on Jade Spirit Island, this ascetic cultivator had just emerged from seclusion and was now preparing cultivation materials.

……

Five Dragons Island is a merchant guild under the jurisdiction of the Azure Sea Palace.

"This Record of Mythical Beasts is priced at eight hundred mid-grade spirit stones. Senior, please don't think it's too expensive. This record contains most of the mythical beasts that have appeared in this cultivation world over the past ten thousand years..."

Lin Chang'an disguised himself as a burly man, gritted his teeth, and took out eight hundred mid-grade spirit stones before walking out of the shop.

However, the shopkeeper behind him, watching the departing figure, shook his head and muttered to himself:

"Another one trying to find out about strange beasts. There are so many people like this lately."

However, the fact that the divine sense of a pseudo-core cultivator made Lin Chang'an pause in surprise.

"Are there a lot of people asking about strange beasts lately?"

He only came for his spirit pet, but judging from his words, something seems to have happened recently.

In fact, the fact that Li Huo Palace was secretly investigating the Foundation Establishment cultivators of Yue Kingdom could not be kept from those who were interested.

Some major powers can easily detect that a cultivator from the Huang family of Li Huo Palace was killed and his spirit pet was stolen.

Therefore, Li Huo Palace was unwilling to accept this.

Therefore, many powerful forces that knew about this matter did not take it seriously, after all, something was bound to happen in the Demon Beast Sea Abyss that day.

Moreover, while exotic beasts are rare, raising them well requires even more stringent conditions.

Therefore, many cultivators, even if they obtain some rare spiritual pets, will sell them to powerful forces.

But these messages were very appealing to the cultivators below.

Selling to a powerful entity and making a profit—who wouldn't want that?

Inside the restaurant.

Lin Chang'an changed his appearance along the way, using the divine sense of a fake Core cultivator, so no one would notice him. Finally, he arrived at a private room in a restaurant under his true identity.

While enjoying the spirit meat and spirit tea, Lin Chang'an simultaneously used his divine sense to enter the jade slip and examine the record of exotic beasts, which was worth eight hundred mid-grade spirit stones.

You wouldn't believe it until you see it; even Lin Chang'an was amazed.

Vast as smoke!
It is densely packed with records of countless rare monsters, strange beasts, and even many long-extinct spirit beasts.

"It seems that these eight hundred spirit stones are not a bad deal."

Lin Chang'an nodded secretly. The cultivation world has many fields, and the Record of Mysterious Beasts alone contains a wealth of knowledge.

Although Foundation Establishment cultivators possess photographic memory, let alone those in the Pseudo Core Formation realm, their sea of ​​consciousness is limited.

Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator's sea of ​​consciousness is bursting, the skills and knowledge it can hold are still limited.

In the vast world of cultivation spanning endless ages, it may only be a drop in the ocean.

Therefore, he could only obediently check.

"Found it! The Phoenix, the bird of supreme yang!"

After a while, Lin Chang'an finally found information about the Phoenix Bird, a strange beast, in the jade slip.

According to the records in the book "Records of Strange Beasts", the Phoenix Bird also appeared in ancient times, and the information was much more detailed than the information given to him by the Zhou family.

The Phoenix Bird, a bird of supreme yang, is born from pure fire and is a rare and exotic beast that specializes in subduing yin spirits, malevolent souls, and spiritual insects.

"However, there is a wisp of golden flame in that mouth..."

Upon reading the subsequent records, Lin Chang'an's face turned solemn.

A normal Phoenix Bird, upon reaching the late second stage, will develop a wisp of flame within its body, which will appear fiery red.

But this golden flame is a rare and precious divine flame, one in ten thousand. If it grows up, it can be called the Golden Flame Divine Bird or the Golden Flame Divine Phoenix.

As Lin Chang'an read the description of the Golden Flame Divine Bird's terrifying supernatural powers, he was both amazed and furrowed his brow.

It is extremely difficult for the Golden Flame Divine Bird to grow up; each evolution is like being reborn from the ashes, a near-death experience.

However, with each evolution, its strength and potential will increase significantly.

"In other words, the Phoenix Bird is currently in an evolutionary stage."

It would be a lie to say that Lin Chang'an wasn't tempted by the Golden Flame Divine Bird, but he frowned deeply.

It's difficult for this Phoenix Bird to even get through its first evolution, let alone grow into the legendary Golden Flame Divine Bird.
