Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 251 The Revival of the Natal Spiritual Plant [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Deep in the misty mountains.

As Lin Chang'an's Core Formation cultivation deepened, the number of creatures around him decreased until finally, the place became completely silent, as if it were a dead end.

Even the Green Horned Ox was temporarily put away by him.

After all, as they continued to delve deeper, the strength of the Green Horned Bull, a late-stage second-tier beast, became somewhat inadequate.

"No wonder it's rumored that even Core Formation cultivators dare not venture deep into the Cloud Mist Mountains."

Having come this far, Lin Chang'an has come to realize the danger here.

Especially this miasma, if it weren't for his special cultivation technique and the immunity he received from the nourishment of his natal spiritual plant, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Even with his Core Formation cultivation, he's probably already poisoned. He can only escape now; he wouldn't dare go any deeper.

"But Blood Fiend Master and Lu Master back then really went all out."

Lin Chang'an was secretly shocked, which also indirectly confirmed that the two people had been powerful in their cultivation back then.

"Owner!"

The phoenix on my shoulder was on high alert, its pale golden eyes constantly scanning its surroundings.

[Spiritual Eye]

Lin Chang'an also used his spiritual eyes, which he had cultivated to the extreme, to gaze at his surroundings. He could clearly see the dangers hidden all around him.

The miasma and the aura emanating from poisonous flowers and exotic plants are all highly toxic.

"It's a pity. These poisonous flowers and exotic plants rely on the miasma here to survive. If they are taken out and lose the nourishment of the miasma, their effectiveness will be greatly reduced."

Lin Chang'an sighed softly, but still took out the jade box he had prepared in advance and collected the poisonous flowers and exotic plants one by one.

It's impossible to transplant a live one out of the country, but if he pulls it out, he plans to refine it into venom or some kind of poison pill, so that it can retain the best medicinal effect.

He didn't come here for nothing this time.

Just as he continued to venture deeper, a buzzing sound suddenly came, and the phoenix on his shoulder immediately lit up with its eyes.

"This is the infamous 'Crimson Flame Bee' on the list of venomous insects, also known as the Golden Crystal Bee!"

Upon seeing the poisonous bees from afar, Lin Chang'an was overjoyed, for this was the very place from the fragmented memories of the Blood Fiend True Man.

The Crimson Flame Bee can spew crimson poisonous fire, which can cause great damage to cultivators' magical treasures. At the same time, it is impervious to blades and spears and is immune to most magical attacks.

At the same time, because it enjoys eating various minerals, a golden crystal will appear in its body, which is a rare material for refining magical artifacts and is called golden crystal.

It ranks among the top 100 on the list of unusual insects.

"Invulnerable to swords and spears, but specifically targets cultivators' magical treasures!"

These two points alone would give countless cultivators a major headache, but Lin Chang'an smiled after seeing them, and then gently patted the phoenix on his shoulder.

The next moment, the phoenix bird excitedly transformed into a golden light.

The buzzing Crimson Flame Bees seemed to sense something, and a swarm of them instantly attacked, spewing out crimson poisonous fire.

When ordinary cultivators' magical treasures encounter this fire, they will be corroded, losing much of their spiritual power. In severe cases, it can even directly corrode and destroy the cultivator's magical treasures.

However, this time they met their nemesis. The phoenix, as if returning home, excitedly opened its beak and weaved through the swarm of bees.

Despite the swarm of crimson bees attacking, their fiery flames couldn't even burn through the feathers of the phoenix.

The golden feathers were glossy and smooth. When they came into contact with the poisonous fire, they slid off the feathers like raindrops, without getting stained at all.

The phoenix opened its beak wide in excitement and swallowed hundreds of birds in one go.

The next moment, a crisp metallic chewing sound echoed, and wisps of red flame occasionally emerged from its mouth and nose.

The so-called crimson poisonous fire was a delicious treat for the Phoenix Bird, which excitedly spread its wings and grew to a size of three zhang (approximately 10 meters).

Lin Chang'an, who was observing all of this from afar, nodded secretly.

"Sure enough, the phoenix is ​​just like home here. Common poisonous insects are simply delicacies on its menu."

However, he dared not be careless in the slightest. He pulled out the Spirit Concealing Veil to hide his aura while also using the Breath Concealing Technique.

He observed secretly through his spiritual eye.

However, the Phoenix Bird kept provoking them. A swarm of black, buzzing Crimson Flame Bees attacked from afar, and the Phoenix Bird simply pounced on them.

"So this is where the Crimson Flame Bees' nest is."

In the distance, on a cliff face, countless pale golden honeycombs hung densely.

One of the hives was emanating a powerful aura, clearly indicating that the queen bee was there.

Inside this cliff, ordinary Core Formation cultivators might not be able to see anything, but Lin Chang'an's spiritual eyes could see it clearly.

A wisp of pure, ethereal energy drifted between the mountain walls. There was a spiritual spring inside the cliff, which gave rise to such a rich and pure ethereal energy.

"These Crimson Flame Bees really occupy an excellent place for cultivation. The spiritual energy here is abundant, and there is even a spiritual spring."

Lin Chang'an was amazed, and the phoenix also saw the beehive. It cried out excitedly as it was surrounded by a dark swarm of bees.

It was actually sucking the swarm of bees, and the queen bee inside the hive clearly sensed the danger and impatiently drove the swarm to attack.

"The queen bee is about to escape!"

Third-tier demonic beasts possess extremely high intelligence. It was clear that the queen bee sensed the danger and, while driving a swarm of black bees to drive away the enemy, she herself began to flee under the cover of a group of crimson flame bees.

Seeing this, Lin Chang'an felt a pang of heartache, but he still sighed softly and did not choose to risk intercepting it.

After all, the phoenix bird can restrain the poisonous bee, but he cannot.

He was still in great danger facing a third-order queen bee and so many poisonous bees.

"However, these beehives contain precious gold crystals."

Lin Chang'an, draped in a spirit-concealing veil, arrived near the beehive without leaving a trace. After observing it secretly, he cautiously set up an array around the area.

Finally, as he activated the formation, enveloped by a crimson barrier, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, the phoenix in the sky was still battling a swarm of bees, its eyes gleaming as it greedily devoured the bees.

Lin Chang'an did not choose to act rashly, but calmly waited for the bee swarm to retreat and for the phoenix bird to fly back satisfied before making any moves.

……

Half an hour later, the swarm of bees in the sky, which had been mostly devoured, received some kind of command and scattered in a frenzy.

The phoenix looked around unwillingly, and after swallowing some of the remaining bees, it circled once before landing inside the formation.

"Don't eat these bee pupae, they're a rare delicacy."

This time, Lin Chang'an stopped the Phoenix Bird from being greedy after seeing the beehive. He didn't have the extra energy and resources to raise these bee larvae.

Moreover, raising spirit insects requires special cultivation methods, which are generally only available to insect cultivators.

Moreover, he already has the Phoenix Bird, which is specifically designed to subdue strange insects, so there is no need to expend more effort.

On the contrary, it would be good to use it to sell for a good price.

"Sure enough, the queen bee's hive was constructed entirely of gold crystal."

The beehive, which was a full two zhang in size, was entirely made of precious gold crystals, which made Lin Chang'an excited.

Despite their size, the honeycomb is actually quite light. Once these gold crystals are truly refined, they will be no bigger than the size of a fist.

But in terms of value, it's already quite substantial.

Lin Chang'an first collected all the bee pupae, and then the beehive.

Other beehives may not be of much value, but even a small amount is still something.

Only after cleaning up all the beehives on the cliff face did Lin Chang'an turn to look inside the cliff.

"The pure and spiritual energy is inside!"

With a solemn expression, Lin Chang'an raised his hand and three golden sword beams instantly appeared around him, piercing into the cliff face the next moment.

The mountain rocks crumbled, and the sword's edge pierced through them, creating a gap in a short time, revealing the rich spiritual energy within.

"Sure enough, the spiritual spring is inside." Lin Chang'an took a deep, greedy breath.

"This spring has been stored for at least a thousand years."

Inside the mountain wall, a spring shimmers with sparkling light, and stalactites hang everywhere.

The spring water drips continuously from the stalactites.

However, the spring below was crystal clear, but with Lin Chang'an raising his hand, the Sunstone appeared inside the cave.

The next moment, under the illumination of the sunstone, a faint purple light shimmered above the clear spring.

Extremely poisonous!

The sacred spring here has been affected by miasma and is now extremely poisonous.

This is why the poisonous bees, even the queen bee, that reside here only enjoy the rich spiritual energy brought by the spiritual spring, rather than consuming it.

Poisonous insects don't mean you can eat them recklessly.

The main food source for the Crimson Flame Bee is various minerals.

“The poisonous spring, which is feared by other cultivators and even by demonic beasts and poisonous insects, is a treasure to me.”

Lin Chang'an cautiously surveyed his surroundings, and only after discovering that there was no danger through his spiritual eyes and divine sense did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

But he still kept the phoenix on guard.

"Protect me, this is a rare opportunity."

Lin Chang'an took a deep breath, knowing that his benefit period was about to end.

After all, other places were too dangerous for Blood Fiend True Man in his fragmented memories, and this was the last place he would explore.

With the phoenix bird protecting him from all sides, he cautiously set up a small defensive formation around himself.

Then, he solemnly activated his cultivation technique and refined the natal spiritual plant within his body.

Mysterious Celestial Vine!

The withered tree roots had only one half-green, withered leaf hanging listlessly, yet this mere leaf exuded a rich sense of life.

The next moment, as the roots of the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine took hold in the spiritual spring.

Instantly, the Mysterious Heavenly Vine released a powerful aura, and Lin Chang'an immediately showed joy.

"Sure enough, my expectation was correct."

This pool of spiritual spring was visibly beginning to diminish, while a powerful aura was being generated at the roots of the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine.

Even the withered leaf that had been mostly green began to revive, with the withered parts visibly starting to turn green again.

One hour... two hours!
Until three hours later!
This pool of spiritual spring was almost completely drained, leaving only a purple, highly poisonous liquid at the bottom.

At this moment, the entire vine of the Mysterious Heavenly Vine has come back to life, its leaves thriving and radiating a powerful life force.

Even the roots have sprouted a few more tentacles.

As Lin Chang'an slowly absorbed his natal spiritual plant into his dantian, the next moment, a terrifying life-giving aura surged back into him.

Lin Chang'an's eyes lit up as he sensed the changes in his physique.

"The self-healing body has become stronger, the magic power has become purer, and the ability to restore magic power and even the body's self-healing ability are constantly growing stronger."

Even his divine sense could feel the enjoyment he experienced after being nourished and replenished.

The supernatural ability of creating an avatar outside the body seems to have matured further.

"We've made a killing this time!"

Although the Mysterious Immortal Vine did not grow a second leaf, he could clearly feel that it had obviously recovered from its previous half-dead state.

The revival of his natal spiritual plant is crucial to his future cultivation of the Profound Heaven Spiritual Body.

Lifespan: 142/598

"His lifespan has been increased by twelve years!"

Lin Chang'an was shocked. This directly increased lifespan. You must know that although there are many spiritual fruits like the Longevity Fruit in the cultivation world.

But as far as he knew, this legendary longevity fruit only increased lifespan by about sixty years.

"This is a direct increase in lifespan. Doesn't that mean that the stronger my natal spiritual plant becomes in the future, the more lifespan I will have as it slowly nourishes and benefits me?"

Lin Chang'an took a few deep breaths before he gradually calmed down, driven by his greed for strengthening his natal spiritual plant.

"This time it's purely because of the benefits that Blood Fiend Master received back then. If I relied on myself, it would be too difficult to achieve this."

Although the temptation was great, Lin Chang'an knew his own limitations. He had already sensed the danger in this place, and it wouldn't be safe to continue exploring in depth.

In the end, he was just a cultivator who had just formed his core.

This time, he relied entirely on the fragmented memories of the Blood Fiend True Man to know these places. He specifically chose two places that were precisely countered by the Phoenix Cry Bird.

That's why we risked coming here.

"Human greed is endless, but cultivators who want to go far must learn to restrain their greed."

As Lin Chang'an gradually calmed down, he also gave up the idea of ​​continuing to investigate.

After all, even Nascent Soul cultivators perished here, so he was far inferior.

"The gains this time have been enormous, and it's time to head back."

Seeing the two mid-grade third-tier demon cores and the revival of his natal spiritual plant, Lin Chang'an nodded secretly in approval.

"Opportunity! Opportunity! No wonder the cultivation world often says that opportunity is sometimes greater than talent."

Lin Chang'an remarked that this was also a stroke of luck for him.

If it weren't for the fragmented memories of the Blood Fiend True Man, if it weren't for his breakthrough to the Core Formation stage, if it weren't for his immunity to poisonous miasma, if it weren't for his Phoenix Cry Bird...

This opportunity is impossible to obtain.

Opportunity still depends on having the corresponding strength.

……

The feeling of palpitations gradually subsided on the way back.

This secretly alarmed Lin Chang'an, who realized that there was indeed a great secret deep within the Cloud Mist Mountains.

"When I reach the Nascent Soul stage, I may need to come here again."

After all, deep inside, there is still the Nascent Soul opportunity from the incomplete memories of the Blood Fiend True Man, although it is very vague.

The return journey was exceptionally smooth, but Lin Chang'an did not choose to return to the market. Instead, he went to Tianxuan City, which was shielded by an array.

However, a few days later, Lin Chang'an, who had just emerged from Tianxuan City, shook his head.

"These rogue cultivators are really poor; they don't waste a single bit of their resources."

I thought the three main peaks of Tianxuan City would have some spiritual liquid, but there wasn't a single drop.

Or perhaps, he sensed the presence of cultivators from the Xuan Yin Pavilion within Tianxuan City.

It seems that this Lu Zhenjun has made a deal with Xuanyin Pavilion, and every ten years Xuanyin Pavilion will send someone to collect the spiritual liquid.

Why would these sects and powerful forces waste resources?

Lin Chang'an then abandoned his ulterior motives and chose to return to Qingshuiwan Market.

Junior Sister Lu Qingqing is nearing the end of her life.

This may be the last time the two of them meet.
