Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 246 Natal Magic Treasure [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

"This is the Fusang Divine Tree!"

With the Core Formation Ceremony over and Tianquan Peak calming down, Lin Chang'an finally had time to visit his cave and see the Fusang Divine Tree sent by Xuanyin Pavilion.

The result was indeed very disappointing.

The trees, which should have been crimson, are now black and bare, devoid of any life, and even exude a sense of decay.

"The legendary Fusang Tree, one of the three sacred trees, was formed by two trees supporting each other, one representing Yin and one representing Yang. Now, there is only one tree left, and it has lost much of its spiritual power."

At this moment, Lin Chang'an frowned. No wonder Xuan Yin Pavilion was willing to give it away.

According to his observation, the current Fusang sacred tree still has several cut surfaces on its branches.

It's obvious that Xuan Yin Pavilion had also investigated and found that the so-called Fusang Divine Tree had greatly diminished in value, which is why they gave it away.

Otherwise, how could they bear to take it out?

“If this were a sacred Fusang tree with a spirit, it wouldn’t be his turn.”

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but chuckle to himself. However, just as he stepped forward to touch the Fusang Divine Tree and used his divine sense to explore how much usable material was left inside...

Suddenly, the natal spiritual plant in his dantian stirred.

"This is!"

Lin Chang'an was startled. He felt a tremor in the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine, and even after he poured the Xuan Tian spiritual energy in his palm into the Fusang Divine Tree under this sensation, he was shocked.

But somehow, I received a response.

"There is still a faint trace of life inside this Fusang Divine Tree, which would be impossible to sense without the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine."

Just then, He Yan appeared outside the cave, which made Lin Chang'an temporarily suppress his elation.

If the Fusang Divine Tree were still alive, its value would be worlds apart.

In the past, he would have only obtained a decent piece of wood material with fire attributes for a magical artifact, which would be considered a rare treasure for him now.

But if it were alive now, it would be the legendary Fusang Divine Tree, which is especially effective against demonic and ghostly cultivators, and its value would be immeasurable.

……

"Uncle Lin."

Upon stepping outside the cave, He Yan's face lit up with excitement when he saw Lin Chang'an.

"Congratulations, Uncle Lin, on attaining enlightenment and completing your nascent soul. May your immortal path be everlasting."

He Yan never expected that the last time they met was on the spirit ship, and when they met again, his Uncle Lin had actually formed his core.

It's not a fake pill.

It should be noted that, not to mention rogue cultivators, even among powerful sects and clans, the chances of a cultivator with a high-grade spiritual root forming a core being a fake core are quite high.

Otherwise, if forming a core were so easy, there wouldn't be so few core cultivators in the world.

Many Foundation Establishment families can guarantee their prosperity for hundreds of years if they manage to produce even one Pseudo-Core cultivator within their clan, no matter how hard they try.

"He Yan!"

Upon seeing He Yan, Lin Chang'an frowned, because the person in front of him was not He Yan's true form, but a rather rare humanoid puppet.

"Uncle Lin, please don't be offended. After all, the reputation of the Holy Sect is currently in a bad state, and I was afraid it would cause you trouble. This is what the Holy Maiden asked me to give to you."

He Yan, who looked somewhat unnatural, took out a communication jade tablet from his storage bag, and then his eyes lost their sparkle.

"A second-tier Foundation Establishment level puppet!"

Looking at the stiff puppet in front of him, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but nod in approval. As expected of Yun Yao, she was still so cautious in her actions.

In this way, no one would see any members of the Demonic Cult leaving his cave.

At the very least, it can avoid some trouble.

Looking at the communication jade talisman, at first it was just a simple congratulations on his attainment of Dao and formation of the core, nothing unusual, but the tacit understanding between the two over the years...

Lin Chang'an secretly used the secret technique he had used when the two of them cultivated together, and Yun Yao's voice came from the back of the jade talisman again.

"Brother Lin, the Li Huo Palace has discovered that the Phoenix Cry Bird has broken through to the third rank. For some unknown reason, this matter has alarmed the upper echelons of the Divine Sect..."

Back inside the cave, the jade talisman automatically destroyed itself after the sound transmission ended. This sound recording was one-time use and even had a security mechanism.

However, Lin Chang'an frowned upon hearing this.

"As expected, Yun Yao also guessed that the Phoenix Bird had broken through to the third rank, and she came here specifically to remind me."

Yun Yao knew he possessed the Phoenix Bird back then, and after the Phoenix Bird broke through to the third tier, he deliberately displayed his aura. Therefore, it was reasonable for Yun Yao to be able to deduce it.

"But why is the Li Huo Palace so interested in the Phoenix Bird? Even the Xuan Yin Divine Sect is interested in it."

At this moment, Lin Chang'an frowned. He had taken the Phoenix Cry Bird from Huang Shaohai, and he could understand why the Li Huo Palace possessed the soul lamp of this strange beast.

"However, since the Phoenix Bird broke through to the third tier, all the previous tracking methods have become ineffective."

After a spirit beast breaks through to the third tier, its original magic imprints and soul lamps will lose their effect, which is known as backlash and destruction.

Especially for tracking artifacts, once a spirit beast dies, it will usually turn into ashes.

It was precisely because of this that Li Huo Palace was certain that the Phoenix Cry Bird had broken through to the third rank, rather than perishing.

"In other words, the bad news is that the Li Huo Palace knows about the Phoenix Bird's breakthrough to the third rank, and even the Xuan Yin Divine Sect has started to take it seriously for some unknown reason."

The good news is that the Phoenix Bird is in my possession, and only Yun Yao knows this. No one else knows who has it.

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

It seems that the mythical beast Phoenix Cry Bird is still a problem, but no one would doubt that a rogue cultivator could possess a third-tier mythical beast.

Fortunately, after he formed his core, he did not reveal the Phoenix Bird. Otherwise, if everyone knew about it, he would have no way to hide it.

"When the opportunity arises, all I need to do is use the Phoenix Cry Bird to divert the attention of the Fire Palace and the Profound Yin Divine Sect."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an unconsciously produced the talisman he had obtained from the young master of the Long family.

Isn't this an opportunity? This talisman treasure was something we couldn't let see in the light of day anyway.

He still remembered what the Long family had done when he was on the spirit ship.

"Don't think that just because the Core Formation Ceremony gave a big gift, this matter is over."

Lin Chang'an sneered. It was just as well that the Long family had acted domineeringly back then, so it was reasonable that they had unexpectedly taken the exotic beast from a cultivator from one of the seven kingdoms.

Given the resources and foundation of the Long family, it is more reasonable for them to be able to cultivate a third-tier exotic beast.

"But don't rush, take your time, there will be plenty of opportunities."

Just then, the phoenix inside the cave excitedly perched on the Fusang Divine Tree, its mouth spewing out golden flames, much to Lin Chang'an's astonishment.

The Fusang Divine Tree seemed to have gained a little more vitality.

……

After the Core Formation Ceremony, Tianquan Peak returned to its usual tranquility.

However, the cultivator families in the nearby spiritual veins were rather uneasy, after all, a new emperor brings a new court, and this place was no longer the domain of the Long family.

In particular, the Lu family's strong entry signifies a shift in power.

Other cultivator families had previously offered generous gifts, hoping to preserve their existing spiritual veins with Lin Chang'an.

However, the Lu family did not come here to cause trouble. After all, the Lu family only had one pseudo-core cultivator, so after settling in a spiritual vein, they did not make enemies with anyone.

On the contrary, under the leadership of this Madam Lu, they became on good terms with other families.

However, the arrival of Xuan Yin Pavilion's forces still brought many twists and turns, but Lin Chang'an kept all of this in seclusion.

During this period, Lin Chang'an also sorted out the congratulatory gifts for the Core Formation celebration, and indeed made quite a bit of money.

However, he also knew that these gifts were not only due to the Xuan Yin Pavilion and his status as a third-tier array master, but also largely because of the Sixth Elder of the Nascent Soul stage.

"It's true that it's good to take shelter under a big tree."

Originally, his resources had been almost completely depleted in preparation for forming his core, but a core-forming celebration unexpectedly recouped his losses. Now, with the rise of new powerful forces on Five Dragon Island, even the once domineering Dragon family has changed its ways and is developing in a low-key manner.

However, the Long family had made too many enemies in the past, and with many forces secretly stirring things up, the waters around Five Dragon Island remained turbulent.

However, all of this is no longer of much concern to Lin Chang'an, after all, he is a Core Formation cultivator and an array master.

What he needs to do now is to cultivate in peace.

……

Inside Tianquanfeng Cave.

Over the past six months, Lin Chang'an has used magic to excavate a passage deep underground that leads directly to the subterranean fire.

"Owner!"

In the scorching underground cavern of magma, the blackened Fusang Divine Tree took root in the magma, and the Phoenix Bird transformed into its true form, its enormous body landing on a withered branch.

"The phoenix is ​​the essence of fire, and the Fusang Divine Tree is the legendary tree that gave birth to the Heavenly Fire Golden Crow."

As soon as they entered the underground, they felt the intense heat. Even Lin Chang'an, a Golden Core cultivator, couldn't help but break out in a sweat in this magma world.

However, the phoenix seemed to have returned home, excitedly circling on the hibiscus tree.

Lin Chang'an took a deep breath. Whenever he had nothing to do, he would come here to cultivate.

Although the intense heat of the fire-attribute spiritual energy made him uncomfortable, he sat upright on the Fusang tree, purifying himself with the profound spiritual energy of his natal plant while cultivating.

They can complement each other.

After he formed his core, this was the first time he had discovered that the Xuan Tian spiritual energy he cultivated using the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine actually possessed such abilities.

"The Fusang Divine Tree, I never thought I'd actually get into a fight with this spiritual plant."

Lin Chang'an shook his head helplessly. First, it was his natal spiritual plant, and then the Fusang Divine Tree. He really was destined to be busy.

What this Fusang Divine Tree needs is purification and the absorption of endless fire-attribute spiritual energy to revive.

"However, the difficulty of fully reviving the Fusang Divine Tree is not small."

Lin Chang'an took a deep breath and activated his cultivation technique to refine the natal spiritual plant within his body.

The next moment, a powerful aura of profound life force emanated from this magma world, and the Fusang Divine Tree greedily absorbed this life force to repair itself.

The Fusang Divine Tree, one of the three great divine trees, was able to revive through the Xuan Tian spiritual energy, which shows how powerful the life force contained in the Xuan Tian spiritual energy is.

Under this mysterious life force, Lin Chang'an could clearly sense that the Fusang Divine Tree was faintly emitting wisps of black energy.

"What exactly is this black mist that can defile the Fusang Divine Tree?"

Even Lin Chang'an couldn't help but frown. You must know that the Fusang Divine Tree is the tree of ultimate yang, and it is known as the one that can defeat evil spirits, along with the Golden Thunder Bamboo.

"However, these are all problems left over from ancient times. Now I have to face the challenge of using the Fusang Divine Tree to refine my own natal magic weapon."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an took a deep breath and, with the circulation of his magic power, the illusory image of the Refining Technique chapter of the three chapters of this manual was slowly reflected in the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine, his natal spiritual plant in front of him.

In the illusory image, besides cultivation techniques, there was a section on magical treasures, which recorded the properties of hundreds of different spiritual woods in the cultivation world, as well as the directions for refining magical treasures.

"The Fusang Sacred Tree has been found!"

Under Lin Chang'an's solemn gaze, he carefully observed the crafting of the magical artifact related to the Fusang Divine Tree.

"With wood to ward off fire and impervious to all evil, the Fusang Divine Wood can be used to forge a powerful sun-piercing divine sword. If the materials are sufficient, it can be used to forge a complete set of sword formations..."

However, that's all!

Lin Chang'an frowned upon seeing this.

"It seems that the method for forging this Sun Piercing Sword Formation lies in the other two withered leaves."

In the past, Lin Chang'an would not have dared to hope for this legendary divine tree, but the problem was that he didn't have it before.

Now that he owns the whole tree, his thinking is naturally different.

What he wants now is not only to refine his natal magic weapon with the Fusang Divine Wood, but also to refine a complete set.

"With the Fusang Divine Tree as it is now, it must be purified first if you want to refine magical treasures, so there's no rush."

Lin Chang'an's eyes flickered; the stronger the potential of his natal magic weapon, the better for him.

If there's something good, who would want something inferior?

Besides, it's just a matter of waiting; he has other options now.

"With my current cultivation level, the Blood Fiend Sword, a mid-grade third-tier magic weapon, is more than enough. My natal magic weapon is related to my future, so I can't rush it."

……

Inside the underground cave, the Fusang Divine Tree, rooted in magma, continuously evolved and cleared away the black energy within its body under the influence of Lin Chang'an's profound spiritual energy.

With a solemn expression, Lin Chang'an's natal spiritual plant instantly transformed a green leaf into a clone.

【Transforming into a Divine Being (Beginner Level 3/100)】

This supernatural power is different from the second nascent soul; it cannot leave the body for a long time, but it also does not carry the risk of backlash from the second nascent soul.

This is because it is not an independent consciousness clone, but a clone that is connected to the original body's mind.

【Sword Shadow at Will Technique (Mastery 103/1000)】

As the clone unleashed its divine power, two sword beams, comparable to low-grade third-tier magic weapons, appeared.

This made Lin Chang'an's true form smile.

"Indeed, the supernatural power of this ancient technique is far beyond what ordinary supernatural powers can compare to now."

In other words, this clone of his, apart from being unable to cultivate, can still use the supernatural powers and spells of his original body, provided it possesses 30% of the original body's magical power.

They can even draw talismans and refine elixirs.

This is equivalent to him having an extra clone, which he can use to draw talismans and refine elixirs in his spare time.

This is still a support effect; during combat, he could create an additional clone.

If he were to forge a complete set of magical artifacts, wouldn't his main body plus his clones unleash even greater combat power?

This ability to manifest externally is practically tailor-made for complete sets of magical artifacts.

If other types of magical artifacts were used instead, their combat power would be inferior to this complete set.

"It will probably take at least several decades for the Fusang Divine Tree to be completely purified and meet the conditions for refining into a set of magical treasures."

As he watched the wisps of black energy dissipate from the Fusang Divine Tree, Lin Chang'an pondered silently.

I did a rough calculation, and it actually comes down to just right.

If it were just for refining ordinary magical artifacts, he could simply ask someone to do it for him. But this kind of complete set, made from purified Fusang divine wood, couldn't be easily exposed.

"A few decades is enough time for me to raise my weapon-refining skills to the third tier."

[Tier 1 Mid-Grade Refiner (Proficiency 121/1000)]

It seems he's going to master all four major skills of cultivation: talismans, formations, elixirs, and weapon crafting.

"These next few decades will probably be a rather chaotic time for the waters around Five Dragon Island. It's best for me to focus on my cultivation and observe the changing circumstances."

Lin Chang'an remained calm and showed no sign of impatience.

After all, he had only just broken through to the Core Formation stage, and every Golden Core cultivator's natal magic weapon was meticulously crafted from materials collected over a hundred years.

Otherwise, a hastily crafted natal magic weapon might become a burden later on.

After all, magical artifacts also need to be nurtured by cultivators.

Moreover, I have only just entered the Core Formation stage and am far from being able to rest easy. It is best to continue to cultivate in a low-key manner.

　Thank you to fellow Daoist 'Book Friend 20210402133601027' for the 100 spirit stones reward, and thank you to all the fellow Daoists who have supported me.
