Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 303 The Male and Female Duo Traps Fatty Lei [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Lihuo Island.

The Core Formation cultivator, who was cultivating in his cave, suddenly opened his eyes with a start, his mind racing.

"Oh no! My son!"

With a whooshing sound, the Foundation Establishment cultivators around were all startled.

"Elder, what's going on!?"

Under the bright moonlight, their elders, in shock and anger, rushed out of the cave, followed by the other Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Someone has entered the island, my son..."

The Core Formation cultivator was shocked and furious, but found that the scene before him was exactly the same as before.

The other Foundation Establishment cultivators looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering if there was anything wrong with it.
"Elder, is everything alright on the island?"

"No! No!"

This kind of connection between cultivators through blood is absolutely unmistakable, hence the Core Formation cultivator's deathly pale face.

There's only one possibility behind what's happening before our eyes!
"Illusion Array!"

Suddenly, the Core Formation cultivator let out a bloodcurdling roar, then shouted angrily:
"I wonder which fellow Daoist is so audacious. I have already notified several of my junior brothers. When I have the Nascent Soul cultivators hold you accountable, you should think carefully!"

The Foundation Establishment cultivators around them were also terrified. Were they in an illusion?

Before anyone could respond, the early-stage Core Formation cultivator roared and unleashed a barrage of fireballs that filled the sky.

The next moment, with a rumbling sound, the surrounding scenery vanished, replaced by an array barrier that rippled with waves.

At this moment, the truth came to light, and several Foundation Establishment cultivators exclaimed in shock and anger, "It really is a barrier!"

"Damn it, how could someone have silently set up an array outside our cave?!"

"who is it?"

As shouts echoed, two beams of cold light suddenly appeared within the array's barrier.

"Fellow Daoists of the Li Huo Palace, have you already forgotten me?!"

As the chilling voice echoed, two beams of cold light pierced through the bodies of two Foundation Establishment cultivators, leaving trails of blood before finally landing in the hands of a masked man in black.

At this moment, Lin Chang'an's cold voice echoed as he gripped two swords that gleamed with a cold light in his hands.

The Core Formation elder of Li Huo Palace couldn't help but shrink his pupils upon seeing the two magical swords.

"Divine Sword Sect!"

This magic weapon is all too familiar. Lin Chang'an sneered. Back when the Divine Sword Sect suffered its calamity, the Li Huo Palace was behind it all.

Today, thanks to the Divine Sword Sect, the two fellow Daoists who gifted him the magic weapon back then will surely be grateful to him.

"kill!"

This Core Formation cultivator from the Li Huo Palace was also a decisive person; upon seeing the Divine Sword Sect cultivator, he immediately revealed a ferocious expression.

With a wave of his hand, a fiery red bead-shaped magical artifact transformed into a fire dragon, directly attacking Lin Chang'an.

At the same time, the opponent made a hand seal, and the island-protecting formation was activated with a rumble.

"Fellow Daoist, the feud between our two sects has only just begun!"

Impersonating a cultivator from the Divine Sword Sect, Lin Chang'an coldly shouted, and streaks of sword light flashed. For a moment, the terrifying sword light pressed down on the opponent, leaving him in a sorry state.

"Very well! I didn't expect that the remnants of that time would actually dare to come here for revenge. My senior brothers will arrive in no more than a quarter of an hour. Let's see how you manage to leave!"

Seeing that the other party was still bluffing, Lin Chang'an sneered:
"Fellow Daoist, do you really think that only my Divine Sword Sect has traitors, and your Blazing Fire Palace doesn't have any?!"

Upon hearing this, the Core Formation cultivator's face turned extremely ugly.

The reason why the Divine Sword Sect was so easily destroyed was because there was a traitor in the sect.

The signs today clearly indicate that there was a traitor within their ranks; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to discover the enemy only after they were attacked.

"Damn it! Which beast is this?!"

……

Meanwhile, on the island, the activation of the island-protecting formation also alerted other cultivators.

The sword servants' clandestine killings could not be concealed.

"Someone's there! Everyone be careful!"

"Damn it, the enemy has a treasure that allows them to conceal their presence. We must join forces..."

With cold, indifferent eyes, the swordsman wielded two swords and continued to reap the rewards.

Relying on the Invisible Veil, her agile figure flashed and leaped continuously through the complex terrain.

"The other party is a sword cultivator."

Unfortunately, most of the Foundation Establishment cultivators on the island had already been killed, leaving him facing three cultivators of the same level.

A sword servant with mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation and the Heavenly Spirit Sword Body, his combat power is extremely strong among those of the same level, and he also relies on the Hidden Spirit Veil.

In less than half an incense stick's time, the three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Li Huo Palace were killed.

"Pfft!"

Amidst splattering blood, the last Foundation Establishment cultivator watched as his magic shield shattered, a look of disbelief appearing on his face behind the sword light flashing across his chest.

"How can it be……"

The power of this sword light was clearly far beyond his comprehension.

"The cultivators of the Divine Sword Sect have come for revenge!"

The cold, icy voice of the sword attendant echoed through the dark mine.

Then, under the three fireballs, the bodies of these three Foundation Establishment cultivators turned to ashes.

The sword attendant's cold gaze fell upon the corpses of the three Foundation Establishment cultivators, and only after they turned to ashes did he disappear into the mine.

She kept in mind her master's instructions: once she took action, she would show no mercy, and she should be wary of anyone faking their death.

At the same time, you should not leave any evidence against yourself to frame others.

……

Inside the Five Elements Maze.

"Divine Sword Sect!"

As the Core Formation cultivator roared in fury, a sudden burst of light attacked from behind.

As the fiery red scimitar flashed, the early-stage Core Formation cultivator from the Li Huo Palace was cut in half in disbelief.

He hadn't expected there to be another person in the shadows, and one who was even at the mid-stage of Core Formation!

Even with Yun Yao's cultivation level, her combat power is still formidable, even if she tries to conceal her magical aura.

With Lin Chang'an drawing attention from the front, she launched a sneak attack from behind, breaking through his defenses.

"Let's go!"

As Lin Chang'an raised his hand, a terrifying sword light struck, and Yun Yao countered with several fireballs.

In an instant, engulfed by sword light and a sea of ​​fire, the opponent turned to ashes amidst screams.

Seeing this, Lin Chang'an nodded secretly. As expected of a Core Formation cultivator, he had screamed in agony in the fire for so long. His vitality was truly tenacious.

The battle is over!
It went even more smoothly than I expected.

After all, there was only one Core Formation cultivator on the entire island, and the other two were just fake Core Formation cultivators who had already been dealt with by Yun Yao.

He didn't even use his backup plan, the Green Horned Ox and the Phoenix Crying Bird.

None of the unexpected events that were initially planned occurred.

"Brother Lin."

Slightly out of breath, Yun Yao's beautiful eyes flickered; she hadn't conserved her magic power in order to finish the battle quickly.

However, with his mid-stage Core Formation cultivation, he keenly sensed that Lin Chang'an's aura was stable and his mana was hardly depleted.

Or rather, Lin Chang'an not only possesses profound magical power, but also recovers extremely quickly.

"After cleaning up the battlefield, let's go to the treasury of the Fire Palace."

As the formation slowly dissipated, the entire island fell silent.

"Owner!"

The sword attendant also arrived panting heavily on his sword. Looking at the murderous aura emanating from him, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but show a satisfied expression.

"It seems everything is going smoothly."

They didn't come here to kill and steal, but to take advantage of the chaos.

With the sword attendant following closely behind, Lin Chang'an and Yun Yao quickly arrived at the treasure vault of the Li Huo Palace on the island.

"Brother Lin, this treasure vault is protected by a restriction."

Before the massive stone gate, the treasure vault of the Li Huo Palace was hidden inside a cave.

Lin Chang'an smiled when he saw the restriction.

"Leave it to me next."

With a wave of his hand, three mid-grade, third-tier barrier-breaking talismans, shimmering with golden light, appeared in his palm.

Finding the weakest point in the restriction, and activating the talisman, a strange light flashed in an instant, and the restriction began to shatter visibly.

With a deafening roar, Yun Yao blasted open the cave.

Upon closer inspection, the box was filled with countless spirit stones, a sight that might have attracted the attention of an ordinary cultivator.

However, although there were many spirit stones, they were all low-grade spirit stones that had been dug out. Lin Chang'an and Yun Yao did not hesitate at all and went straight into the depths.

The treasure vault was not filled with the resources one might have imagined. Although there were still quite a few, it was hardly befitting of a sect as large as the Li Huo Palace.

"Brother Lin, the Li Huo Palace is located in the Tongtian Mist Sea. If they have any resources, they won't hoard them. They'll maximize their strength whenever they have them here..."

Yun Yao came in, glanced around, and explained with a serious expression.

Lin Chang'an could understand this. After all, life in the Tongtian Mist Sea was precarious, and if there were a lot of cultivation resources, they might just be hoarded by someone else.

Just like now, didn't the Li Huo Palace already provide them with some resources? However, these materials and treasures weren't his goal this time. Lin Chang'an frowned, and his powerful senses began to probe.

However, he failed to find the Xuan Tian withered leaf he wanted, which made him frown secretly.

Was he going to return empty-handed?

With a wave of their hands, the two quickly packed away the treasures in the storage bags that had been prepared beforehand.

During this process, Yun Yao was actually more curious about the sword servant. This Foundation Establishment cultivator did not show any greed in the face of such a huge amount of resources.

You should know that although the resources in this treasure trove are not as much as they imagined, any Core Formation cultivator would still be tempted by them.

With the resources here, achieving the Core Formation stage is not difficult.

"Let's go and check out the caves of the other Core Formation cultivators."

Since we're here, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so we can't miss it.

While it's not accurate to say they'll leave the land bare, it's true that not a single spirit stone will be left behind.

Of the five Core Formation cave dwellings, Lin Chang'an sensed a familiar aura the moment the third cave dwelling broke free of its restrictions, thanks to his methods.

"Mysterious Heavenly Withered Leaf!"

Lin Chang'an's expression changed, but he still cautiously entered the cave, since some Core Formation cultivators liked to set traps in their caves.

Upon arriving at the cave, Lin Chang'an was struck by its elegant and refined furnishings. He then scanned the cave with his divine sense and discovered the item he was looking for deep within.

"found it!"

The Xuan Tian withered leaf, which recorded the Refining God Chapter, was found among a pile of ancient cultivation manuals.

With a wave of his hand, the Xuan Tian withered leaf fell directly into his palm, and Lin Chang'an couldn't help but smile.

Upon closer inspection, tracking marks were indeed discovered. With Lin Chang'an's current abilities as a third-tier array master, breaking through them was far too easy.

As for the other ancient books, Lin Chang'an didn't have enough time to examine and remove the traces one by one.

He took out the blank jade slip he had prepared beforehand and began to imprint it with his magic power.

For him, cultivation resources such as spirit stones and materials can be accumulated and earned slowly, but ancient books, records of insights and experiences are priceless treasures.

Three hours later, the light from the battle to protect Lihuo Island flickered several times before finally dissipating completely.

Before leaving, Lin Chang'an dismantled the Four Symbols Black Tortoise Formation on Lihuo Island.

The last three streaks of light disappeared into the thick fog.

……

Several days later, on Bibo Island.

The three arrived at a restaurant in the local market.

“Brother Lin, this black market is the largest within a thousand miles. Before Li Huo Palace can react, let’s clear out these goods right here.”

All three of them disguised themselves and concealed their true identities. Inside the private room, Yun Yao, with a smile on her face, explained her plan to Lin Chang'an.

This made Lin Chang'an look at him strangely.

Yun Yao really planned everything perfectly from beginning to end, even thinking of taking advantage of the time difference to clean up the black goods before the other party could react.

But the more he listened, the more something seemed off.

"Fatty Lei!"

When Lin Chang'an heard Yun Yao introduce Lei Pangzi on the island, his lips twitched involuntarily.

Well, it seems it's not just him.

It seems Yun Yao has tricked this Fatty Lei quite a bit.

"The spirit stones are easy to deal with, and as for these materials, I've already sorted them out, clearing away anything obvious or unnecessary."

The gains from this trip were substantial, and even Lin Chang'an felt he could now focus on cultivation for a while.

No wonder many cultivators who embark on the path of tribulation cultivation never return.

The temptations are so strong that it's hard to resist.

Even a third-tier skill cultivator like him was tempted by the benefits, let alone many ordinary Core Formation cultivators who were struggling financially.

"Brother Lin, you can have this magical Fire Dragon Pearl..."

Inside the private room, the two began to divide their spoils.

Despite their familiarity, Yun Yao was still very serious about the benefits.

Even the sword servants eventually received a substantial share of the spoils.

Looking at the five heavy storage bags in his hands, the sword attendant's clear gaze turned to Lin Chang'an.

"Owner?"

"Take it."

After seeing Lin Chang'an nod, the sword attendant put the sword into his robes and respectfully cupped his hands, saying:
"Thank you for your kindness, Master and Mistress."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yao smiled with satisfaction. It seemed that Brother Lin had a good eye.

……

"Oh my, it is truly an honor for our humble shop to have two fellow Daoists visit us."

After Lin Chang'an and Yun Yao disguised themselves and arrived at the familiar shop, Fatty Lei's face immediately lit up with a smile when he saw the two Core Formation cultivators coming together.

Big clients! Anyone who comes in a group is definitely a big client.

"Fellow Daoist Lei, my wife and I have robbed a foolish merchant ship. We just don't know if you dare to accept it here."

This time, Lin Chang'an wore a mask, his voice was hoarse, and he exuded a murderous aura, looking exactly like a member of the demonic path.

Meanwhile, Yun Yao coldly observed her surroundings, wearing a cloak and exuding an aura that was not to be trifled with.

Upon seeing this, Fatty Lei thought to himself, "It seems to be a pair of demonic cultivators. These kinds of cultivators are generally not easy to mess with."

"Fellow Daoists, you flatter me. I'm not bragging, but even if it's a Nascent Soul level treasure, as long as I report it to my superiors, it will be ready in half a month at most."

I thought Fatty Lei would brag, but to my surprise, the fat man smiled and cupped his hands towards the east, indicating that Bibo Island Market had powerful backers.

Otherwise, how could those few Core Formation cultivators have the ability to run a black market in the Tongtian Mist Sea?

Lin Chang'an was fully aware of this.

With his arm around Yun Yao's slender waist, Lin Chang'an sat down, and Fatty Lei even ordered his puppets to serve the finest spiritual tea.

Just moments ago, Yun Yao had been cold and aloof, but after sitting down, she nestled in Lin Chang'an's arms. Lei Pangzi smiled nonchalantly at this scene, but he had already begun to guess what was going on in his mind.

His eccentric and unpredictable temperament is actually quite normal.

However, countless thoughts flashed through his mind as he pondered who this couple, who were they, the cultivators who had been afflicted by tribulation.

Judging from Lin Chang'an's murderous aura and the faintly emanating power, he seemed to be a body cultivator.

The woman's behavior shifted between cold indifference and tender affection, giving Fatty Lei a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

But he wasn't sure, since there had been far too many outsiders coming to the secret realm recently.

"Fellow Daoist Lei, my wife and I don't want to hear your nonsense. Take a look at these goods."

Without hesitation, Lin Chang'an waved his hand, and to Lei Pangzi's astonishment, the storage bags piled up into a small mountain on the table.

There were even quite a few storage bags stained with blood, which made Fatty Lei's eyes narrow.

They really are the duo who just robbed a merchant ship; otherwise, an ordinary robbery wouldn't have so many storage bags.

"Please wait a moment, fellow Daoists, while I take a look at the count."

Upon seeing the lucrative deal, Fatty Lei, with a broad smile, began to examine the resources and treasures inside his storage bag.

You wouldn't believe it until you saw it; the smile on his face had widened even more.

The storage bags of Qi Refining cultivators, the storage bags of Foundation Establishment cultivators, and countless other resources.

Sure enough, only merchant ships have so many different and miscellaneous resources.

Yun Yao and Lin Chang'an, on the other hand, exchanged a glance and then both smiled.

The two of them still kept most of the cultivation resources that could be used in the Li Huo Palace, even though most of them were no longer needed.

It was also accumulated from the looting of the Li Huo Palace.

"Fellow Daoists, you are indeed no ordinary people, this..."

Just as Fatty Lei was looking at the vast amount of resources in shock and was about to say something, a female cultivator wearing a black cloak suddenly appeared beside him, her aura flashing around her.

Mid-stage Core Formation!

Fatty Lei's pupils contracted, but seeing the female cultivator so infatuated with the body cultivator, he couldn't help but swallow nervously.

Good heavens, if the female cultivator is at the mid-stage of Core Formation, then the body cultivator next to her must be at least at the same level, or even possibly at the late-stage of Core Formation.

It seems that this secret realm has indeed attracted quite a few powerful cultivators.

"My lord, I heard that many cultivators have come to the Yin Soul Sect's secret realm this time. I would like to refine a beautiful and practical magic weapon."

Suddenly, as Yun Yao's charming voice echoed, Lin Chang'an naturally understood and nodded hoarsely:

"That's what the lady said."

The next moment, the couple turned their eyes to him, and facing this pressure, Fatty Lei immediately forced a nervous smile.

"Fellow Daoists, Bibo Island will take all these resources. Here's 220,000 mid-grade spirit stones for you!"

Lei Pangzi, feeling a pang of regret, slowly extended two fingers, then, fearing to displease the two men, reversed his hand to indicate two twos.

He originally intended to ask for 200,000 mid-grade spirit stones.

Lin Chang'an and Yun Yao smiled with satisfaction at the price.

"make a deal!"

Murder and arson bring wealth; indeed, in the world of cultivation, treacherous cultivation is the fastest way to get rich.
