Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 215 Mystic Water Liquid [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

A sea of ​​fog reaching the sky.

On a deserted island shrouded in eerie energy, a figure slowly descended.

"This is it."

Based on the locations remembered by the three Zhong villains, Lin Chang'an finally arrived at this deserted island.

Using the Concealing Breath Technique and the Spirit-Hidden Veil, Lin Chang'an concealed his figure and, as soon as he landed on the island, he saw the ghostly spirits floating around the beach.

“Yin spirits and fierce souls are quite common in the Tongtian Mist Sea, and can even be occasionally found in the Monster Beast Abyss.”

After all, the sea abyss is a place with a strong yin and cold atmosphere, and the fighting between cultivators and demonic beasts makes it impossible to completely eliminate the yin spirits in the sea.

"This place seems no different from other places where evil spirits gather."

Lin Chang'an frowned as he looked at the hazy fog over the island. His spiritual sense probe felt like it was stuck in quagmire, unable to proceed.

【Spiritual Eye (Perfect 9862/10000)】

After a flash of inspiration in his eyes, the evil spirits hidden and floating in the surrounding mist had nowhere to hide.

"I have never slackened in my training of the Spirit Eye over the years, and it has indeed come in handy at crucial moments."

Lin Chang'an was extremely satisfied with the miraculous effects of the spiritual eye.

In the cultivation world, there are too many things that can block divine sense from probing, and although this spiritual eye is not as powerful as divine sense, it can still make up for this deficiency in dangerous situations.

Moreover, he has benefited from his spiritual eye many times. Therefore, although he has been acquiring spiritual liquid to nourish his natal spiritual plants over the years, he has also never relaxed his cultivation of his spiritual eye.

“The most basic spiritual eye is rarely cultivated in the cultivation world, after all, it takes a long time. With that time and resources, it is better to buy a targeted magic weapon or spiritual artifact.”

Now, his spiritual eyes are just one step away from reaching the highest level.

"It is said that if one can cultivate the Spirit Eye to its highest level, it will be twice as effective in cultivating other pupil techniques and supernatural abilities in the future."

After all, not everyone has his talent. Many cultivators fail to achieve results in their cultivation, or even stagnate, and eventually give up.

"Squeak!"

The moment the Phoenix appeared, its eyes lit up as it stared at the yin spirits in the gray mist, as if it had spotted some delicious food.

However, this phoenix bird is extremely intelligent. Upon seeing the food, its first reaction was to turn its head and nuzzle Lin Chang'an's cheek, revealing a fawning expression.

"Alright, here's some food for you, but more importantly, there's the Yin Spirit Vein inside the island. There's probably a Yin Spirit Beast King that's not even a third-tier one, or maybe it's about the same level."

Lin Chang'an smiled and stroked the phoenix, his eyes revealing a solemn expression.

The fact that the three villains of the Zhong family are so formidable, and that they even dare to attack him on the island, shows just how dangerous this place is.

"Squeak!"

"Alright, don't make too much noise. Let's try the appetizer first."

Finally, Lin Chang'an shook his head and then draped the Hidden Spirit Veil over the Phoenix Bird.

Sure enough, the next moment, in its excitement, the Phoenix Bird transformed into an invisible streak of light and instantly pounced on the Yin Spirit in the distance, which had no intelligence and was only acting on instinct.

As soon as they opened their mouths, these evil spirits sensed the danger and were transformed into food for the phoenix birds.

Lin Chang'an, who was concealing his aura with his cultivation technique, nodded secretly after seeing this scene from afar.

"Everything in the universe has its counterpart, and these evil spirits are utterly powerless against a nemesis like the Phoenix Bird."

The restraint was excessive.

Low-level spirits have no intelligence, only instinct. Therefore, the spirits drifting in the distance watched their companions being killed and disappearing, yet they seemed oblivious, as if they hadn't noticed.

This is also why Lin Chang'an allowed the phoenix to eat in this way.

"No wonder the Li Huo Palace issued a bounty before. There is a spirit pet in the Tongtian Mist Sea that can restrain Yin spirits. It is comparable to a powerful magic weapon."

Lin Chang'an shook his head, then, relying on concealing his aura, slowly walked towards the island. Along the way, the spirits seemed not to see him at all.

Only within two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) of its body could it sense the presence of living people. Before it could even become excited and go crazy, it was easily swallowed up by the Phoenix Bird.

"Squeak!"

As the phoenix frolicked, its pale golden eyes were filled with excitement, as if it had just entered a mountain of delicious food.

"In places where spirits gather, once a powerful aura of living people is released, it will attract this group of spirits who are fearless of death and have no intelligence."

After walking into the valley, the phoenix landed on his shoulder.

Using the Concealing Veil and the Breath Concealing Technique, Lin Chang'an remained almost completely invisible, gazing solemnly at the valley not far away.

“The valley is filled with Yin energy, and judging from this energy, there are probably at least a dozen near-third-tier Yin spirits inside, and the number of Yin spirits around here is actually over a thousand…”

Lin Chang'an's spiritual eyes easily saw through the scene within the gloomy mist, and he even vaguely saw a semi-illusory yin spirit.

"Could this be the Yin Spirit Beast King, which is almost at the third rank?!"

With a solemn expression, Lin Chang'an took out the Beast Record from his storage bag, which he had previously purchased on Five Dragons Island for eight hundred mid-grade spirit stones.

"found it!"

The Yin Spirit Yaksha, also known as the Yin Spirit Beast King, is a creature born from a place where Yin spirits gather. This strange creature can manifest a physical form.

After reading the introduction, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but show his delight. This place could actually give birth to the Yin Spirit Beast King. No wonder the three fierce Zhong clans thought that there was a Core Formation spiritual object called Xuan Shui Liquid here.

It is highly likely that this place has it.

"Now that we're here, we can't leave empty-handed."

Lin Chang'an looked around with a solemn expression; there were thousands of Yin spirits swarming around.

This is also why many cultivators, even though they know that some islands where evil spirits gather are rich in spiritual energy, are still unwilling to attack them easily.

Because there are many evil spirits, unlike demonic beasts, you can make up for your losses by taking their resources.

Moreover, these islands are filled with yin energy, and even if they are temporarily captured, they will continuously attract yin spirits from the sea.

Therefore, only powerful forces, when they have a need, will take over such islands.

However, not all islands are suitable as the base of sects or large clans. For example, the island in front of us is too small. Large forces cannot compare to it, and small forces cannot defend it.

Moreover, being deep within the Tongtian Mist Sea, it is easy to encounter powerful demonic beasts or attract the Yin Spirit Beast King.

Therefore, many cultivators would not easily set their sights on these islands.

"However, my Blood Fiend Crimson Sun Formation is also a nemesis to Yin spirits."

At this moment, Lin Chang'an smiled. Although the Blood Fiend Crimson Sun was effective against cultivators, it was far less effective than this attribute counter.

He then concealed himself and, together with the phoenix, began to wander around the valley, burying array flags and array plates.

……

Within the valley teeming with yin energy, seventeen malevolent spirits, radiating a terrifying aura, floated around, greedily devouring the yin energy.

Driven by biological instincts, the outer perimeter was surrounded by thousands of even weaker Yin spirits.

Deep within the valley, a semi-physical Yin Spirit Beast King, exuding a terrifying aura, occupied the Yin Vein Spring, greedily absorbing Yin energy.

Suddenly, the hideous demon opened its eyes, revealing blood-red pupils filled with savagery and devoid of humanity.

"Roar!"

As if sensing something, a sharp roar suddenly rang out, and the surrounding evil spirits began to surge violently.

However, Lin Chang'an had already set up the formation, and upon seeing this scene, he smiled.

"His senses are really sharp. He's definitely not an ordinary spirit, but it's too late."

Blood Fiend Crimson Sun Formation - Activation

As Lin Chang'an made a hand seal, a blood-red barrier instantly appeared around the valley, enveloping the entire valley.

The next moment, within the blood-red barrier, fire-attribute spiritual energy began to thicken.

Before the fiery demon spirits could even gather, some weaker Yin spirits were already screaming in agony within the scorching barrier.

With a bang, the evil spirits began to disintegrate.

"These evil spirits may be fierce, but such extreme beings can also have a great impact when their attributes are countered."

Roar!
Seven fire-devouring demon spirits appeared, their bodies radiating flames as they frantically pounced down, like tigers among sheep.

At this moment, as the formation took shape, the Phoenix Cry Bird let out a cry, transformed into a golden ray of light, and rushed into the horde of Yin spirits.

At the same time, the moment the formation was completed, it also angered the dozen or so near-third-tier Yin spirits in the valley, as well as the half-Yin spirit beast king.

The spirits, who were naturally averse to fire and malevolent energy, went into a berserk state.

"Perfect timing to test the murderous aura of my sword."

After the formation was activated, Lin Chang'an didn't sit idle, or rather, he was reluctant to part with the spirit stones consumed by the formation.

After all, no matter how many of these evil spirits you kill, you won't get any spoils in the end.

It would be better to rely on your strong recovery ability to kill more evil spirits and reduce the consumption of the formation.

Within the formation, countless evil spirits roared.

However, Lin Chang'an's sword aura, as well as the Yang-attribute magic weapons and spiritual artifacts he had previously obtained from the Zhong family's three villains, were like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

And the Fire-Devouring Demon Spirit was even more ferocious. Ordinary Yin Spirits couldn't even be harmed; just touching it would cause them to scream and collapse. As for the dozen or so near-third-tier Yin Spirits, they fared even worse, either being devoured by the Phoenix Cry Bird or consumed by the Fire-Devouring Demon Spirit.

"Roar!"

The Yin Spirit Beast King appeared, unleashing terrifying power, and tore a Fire Devouring Demon Spirit to shreds in one swift motion.

However, the shattered flames scorched its body, causing the Yin Spirit Beast King to let out an angry scream.

"Fortunately, this Yin Spirit Beast King has not yet fully evolved. Otherwise, once it has developed basic intelligence, it wouldn't be fighting like this."

Upon seeing this, Lin Chang'an did not rush forward, but instead manipulated his magic from afar, activating his supernatural powers.

Greatsword Technique

As the sword light in front of him grew larger, it transformed into a giant sword ten zhang in size, shimmering with dazzling light.

Carrying terrifying power, it headed directly towards the Yin Spirit Beast King.

Undeterred, the Yin Spirit Beast King roared angrily and charged straight at them.

"Roar!"

The sword light, comparable to the strike of a pseudo-core cultivator, instantly unleashed terrifying power, causing the Yin Spirit Beast King to roar miserably.

The phoenix's eyes shone brightly, and with a cry, it transformed into a golden light, tearing off an arm.

However, the Yin spirit's body, amidst its angry and terrified roars, began to reassemble its arms, though the Yin energy within it had weakened.

The phoenix, on the other hand, excitedly devoured the yin spirit's arm.

Finally, the Yin Spirit Beast King sensed fear and began to flee.

However, if all the Yin spirits within this formation are commanded to gather together and attack the formation's barrier, there might still be a chance to escape.

However, this kind of Yin Spirit Beast King is clearly not very intelligent.

This caused thousands of spirits to flee in terror, driven only by instinct.

As a result, within the formation, they were either devoured by the Phoenix Bird, torn apart by the Fire-Eating Demon Spirit, or annihilated by the terrifying heat of the formation.

Three hours later...

From the outside, the valley appears completely silent, concealed by the array formation.

Within the array's protective barrier, beneath the fiery red world, thousands of Yin spirits had returned to the world, leaving not even a trace of ash behind.

Finally, the Yin Spirit Beast King, which was destined to evolve into a Yin Spirit Yaksha, had a wisp of golden flame swirling in its mouth under the greedy gaze of the Phoenix Cry Bird.

After letting out a sharp roar, it was finally sucked into the belly of the Phoenix Bird.

"it is finally over."

The results were brilliant. Relying on the absolute advantage of their attributes, they wiped out over a thousand Yin Spirits in just over three hours.

Such extreme restraint is very rare.

However, looking at the silent valley, despite the glorious victory, Lin Chang'an could only sigh with a bitter smile.

"There wasn't even a single spoil of war. No wonder cultivators dislike these kinds of evil spirits the most."

When you hunt down a first-tier demon beast, they provide you with flesh, blood, and leather armor. But with these thousands of Yin spirits, not a single hair was left.

……

There was no need to clean up the battlefield. Lin Chang'an shook his head and manipulated the formation to maintain only concealment and defense. The scorching heat within the formation began to dissipate.

This also reduces the energy consumption of the formation.

He didn't want to be ambushed while investigating again.

He'll save where he should, but he won't cut corners on things he shouldn't.
After all, formations are the best weapon for protecting oneself.

Upon arriving at the valley, they saw a dark cave entrance with a spring gushing forth spiritual liquid, which made Lin Chang'an's eyes light up.

"This is a Yin Vein Spirit Spring. As expected, this place, which can give birth to Yin Spirit Beast Kings, has this stuff. But where is the Profound Water Liquid!?"

As Lin Chang'an's eyes widened, he finally saw the legendary Xuan Shui Liquid through his spiritual eye.

Although they are both liquids, this Xuan Shui liquid is insoluble in water, or rather, it is of a higher quality.

It was actually at the bottom of the spiritual spring.

"How come there's only this much!"

Lin Chang'an's eyes widened. He had taken such a big risk and spent thousands of spirit stones to set up the formation.

Is this the result?

"damn it!"

Despite his cursing, Lin Chang'an carefully took out a beautifully crafted jade bottle made of century-old cold jade from his storage bag.

He then used his magic to slowly draw the tiny amount of mysterious liquid, no bigger than a fingertip, from the spiritual spring into the bottle.

The jade bottle, no bigger than the palm of a hand, wasn't even filled to the bottom.

"Can this... assist in Core Formation?!"

Lin Chang'an fell silent; this amount of Xuan Shui liquid was clearly insufficient.

Even so, its value already exceeds all his expenses this time.

And there was also this pool of Yin Vein Spirit Spring. Lin Chang'an took a deep breath, released the Green Horned Ox and the Phoenix Cry Bird, and began to be on guard.

"You two protect me."

The green-horned cow mooed, while the phoenix, having already eaten and drunk its fill, landed on the cow's horn, patting its chest with satisfaction, as if making a promise.

Lin Chang'an took a deep breath, realizing that he had previously purchased these spiritual liquids with money.

Now that he has the strength, it seems he can rely entirely on the Phoenix Bird and the formation to find these spiritual springs.

Other people's spiritual springs are occupied by powerful cultivators, but these places where yin spirits gather are all unclaimed lands.

Moreover, this time, he also witnessed the Phoenix's ability to restrain evil spirits.

Even against a near-third-tier Yin spirit, it was a crushing defeat.

"The next step is to take this opportunity to cultivate the Spirit Refining Chapter."

As Lin Chang'an sat cross-legged, took a deep breath, and made a hand seal, a faint spiritual light flickered in his dantian, and his natal spiritual plant was refined.

As the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine fell into the spiritual spring, it began to greedily devour it.

At the same time, visible to the naked eye, the area where the withered leaves have turned green again has begun to spread, presenting a vibrant color.

Even the roots seem to be regaining a faint sense of life.

At the same time, Lin Chang'an could feel that, through the bond with his natal spiritual plant, a profound aura began to nourish him.

a few days later.

[Realm: Late Foundation Establishment +1 (13/100)]

As the Yin Meridian Spirit Spring dried up, Lin Chang'an slowly opened his eyes.

"This feeling is really great."

Lin Chang'an smiled excitedly, finally finding a shortcut to quickly improve his strength.

He himself has poor spiritual root aptitude and slow cultivation speed, but his natal spiritual plant is not bad. When he absorbs through his natal spiritual plant, his body is also absorbing.

It wasn't that this effect didn't exist before, but he had too little spiritual liquid, so it wasn't as direct and obvious.

"Or rather, normal cultivators simply cannot absorb and transform these spiritual liquids in a short period of time, but I can achieve dual cultivation by relying on my natal spiritual plant."

What is a natal spiritual plant? It is closely connected to the cultivator's life, sharing both prosperity and adversity.

"In that case, I really need to find more places where Yin spirits gather. Although Xuan Shui liquid is hard to find, the chances of Yin vein spiritual springs are still very high in places where Yin spirits gather."

Although spiritual springs like this can aid in cultivation, just like elixirs, cultivators need to digest them slowly, as they have their own limits.

Now that he is one with his natal spiritual plant, taking pills might be slow, but absorbing spiritual spring water is a completely different story, providing complete nourishment.

At this moment, Lin Chang'an's eyes gleamed. He could find a Core Formation Spiritual Object and accelerate his cultivation at the same time, which was simply killing two birds with one stone.

As for the spirit stones and other things consumed by the formation, he no longer cared.

The spirit stones consumed and the high-grade pills purchased cannot be digested and used to improve strength in such a way.

Of course, he also knew that he couldn't be as lucky as he was today to find a rich Yin vein spiritual spring, but it was still better than arduous cultivation.

"I am now 106 years old. If I really have to cultivate step by step, wouldn't it take until I reach the Core Formation stage at 150 or 160? Besides, the Five Dragons Sea is not peaceful."

Who knows whether an accident or tomorrow will come first? Improving your strength is more important than anything else.

Moreover, collecting spiritual items for Core Formation is also of utmost urgency.

“Treasures may be hard to find in the Sky-Reaching Mist Sea, but these places where evil spirits gather are as numerous as hairs on a cow.”

With a satisfied smile, Lin Chang'an was about to get up and close the formation when he suddenly sensed the presence of two cultivators on the island.
