Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 322 The Two-Headed Tiger Receives the Inheritance [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

On the outskirts of the Ghost Realm lies a small island brimming with spiritual energy.

Countless wandering spirits gathered outside; this scene was commonplace within the Ghost Realm.

It also has too many such spirit islands, but the Yin-attribute spiritual energy within the Ghost Realm is too dense, and there are also traces of ghost energy.

This has prevented many cultivators from practicing here.

Only cultivators who practice water-attribute or yin-attribute techniques are allowed to cultivate here.

Of course, there are also ghost cultivators.

Therefore, there was no competition for the spirit islands; instead, there were many abandoned spirit islands near the edge of the ghost realm.

At the same time, due to the excessive yin energy, almost all the green plants on the spirit islands within a radius of several hundred miles of sea have been wiped out, with only some yin-attribute spirit herbs beginning to thrive.

The Five Elements Maze, inside a cave.

"It's finally done."

As the flames in his mouth ceased, Lin Chang'an revealed a satisfied smile. At this moment, two jade bottles made of Yin Spirit Jade floated in front of him.

Behind them was a huge cave carved out, with the Fusang Divine Tree standing tall. Unfortunately, the lack of earth fire slowed down the purification of demonic energy considerably.

"Master, when can we leave this place? We've been here for a year already."

At this moment, the phoenix nestled in the hibiscus tree showed a bored expression, or rather, it instinctively disliked this place with its dense yin energy.

Although there is no shortage of food here, it still prefers places with a strong fire element, and it is fine to stay here for a short time.

A year passed, and even the phoenix grew tired of it and longed to leave immediately.

"I already told you, that transformed Yin Spirit Beast King is trapped on the island and can't get out."

Lin Chang'an said irritably, having said this countless times over the past year.

I don't know where this bird learned its cautious and timid nature; it tries to escape at the slightest sign of danger.

"Master, you're making it sound nice, but that's a mid-stage fourth-tier transformed Yin Spirit Beast King!"

Upon hearing its owner's indifferent tone, the phoenix's eyes widened, and its wings began to flutter.

"Master, do you know how powerful and rare this transformed Yin Spirit Beast King is!"

Who can understand its feelings? It restrains the evil spirits and feeds on their poisonous insects.

However, it is also a delicious and nutritious food for powerful yin spirits and poisonous insects.

Especially when it sensed that powerful aura within the Ghost Realm, it felt an instinctive fear from its very bloodline every moment.

"Alright, let's wait a little longer. The Yin spirit I'm controlling is doing well lately; it just broke through to the third tier, and it'll be here soon."

Lin Chang'an smiled and shook his head. Now that he was at the outer edge of the Ghost Realm, he wasn't afraid.

Having planned for this for a year, how could I easily give up?

A year ago, after refining this near-third-tier Yin Spirit Beast King and adapting to it for several days, he manipulated the Yin Spirit Beast King to leave. At the same time, relying on a wisp of divine sense to perceive danger, he evaded many enemies.

In the following months, he did not manipulate the Yin Spirit Beast King much, but only wanted to drive it into the island. As a result, the near-third-tier beast could only stay on the outer perimeter of the island.

Left with no other choice, he had to take out another third-tier Yin Spirit Demon Core to help this near-third-tier Yin Spirit Beast King break through.

We've only just broken through and are now able to enter the island; how can we give up so easily?

"Moo!"

Just as the Phoenix Bird was grumbling, the Green Horned Ox slowly walked into the cave, swaying its head. After glancing at the Phoenix Bird, it immediately rolled its eyes.

"You stupid ox, what do you mean?!"

The green-horned ox rolled its eyes as if mocking its cowardice, and the phoenix immediately bristled and widened its eyes.

"Moo!"

However, the Green Horned Ox hid behind Lin Chang'an, glaring defiantly with its eyes, and mooed twice.

The ox and the bird started arguing again, and Lin Chang'an shook his head, seemingly used to it.

"It's been a year!"

【Lifespan: 204/702】

[Realm Level: Mid-Golden Core (4/100)]

His cultivation level did not decline during this year in this place, and he was not afraid of the yin-attribute spiritual energy that ordinary cultivators were not used to.

He can even absorb demonic energy to strengthen his physical body.

"My body refinement is now at the late stage of the second level and nearing perfection. In about twenty years, I will be able to prepare to break through to the third level."

Lowering his head, clenching his fists, and feeling the powerful energy within his body, Lin Chang'an slowly curled up the corners of his mouth, revealing a confident smile.

Once his body refinement reaches the third stage, his strength will undergo a tremendous change.

"In the Demon Beast Sea Abyss, because of the abundance of demon beast resources, body refinement cultivators are not that rare. However, those who can cultivate body refinement to the third-level Golden Core realm are all strong among their peers."

"I can withstand magical artifacts with my bare hands, and fight demonic beasts in close combat. Even if I go to that secret realm, as long as I don't provoke Nascent Soul cultivators, I will have the ability to protect myself."

At the same time, the rapid progress in body refinement made Lin Chang'an secretly suspicious that this demonic energy seemed to be related to the ancient times.

Through years of continuous research and reading of ancient books, he found that there were only a few records of ancient times.

Unfortunately, the records are unclear, or perhaps his abilities were not yet sufficient to access higher circles.

"It should have many other wonderful uses for cleansing the physical body and spiritual roots, what a pity."

Lin Chang'an shook his head inwardly. If he were stronger, perhaps this demonic energy wouldn't have been wasted like this.

Unfortunately, his current strength is weak, so he can only use it to improve his strength.

After all, if one's strength doesn't improve quickly, no matter how good the treasure is, one can only stare at it helplessly, and it might even bring about one's death.

It would be better to improve one's strength and then slowly explore the secrets of this demonic energy once one is powerful enough.

"The Cloud Mist Mountains seem to hide a huge secret related to this demonic energy, and there may even be another Fusang Divine Tree with Yin attributes."

Lin Chang'an's eyes flickered, and although countless guesses flashed through his mind, he ultimately sighed and shook his head.

These secrets were too far removed from him.

He is nothing more than a Core Formation cultivator now. Even Nascent Soul cultivators have perished in this, so what is he?

"I don't want to think about that right now; the key is to steadily improve our strength."

He then sat cross-legged on the stone meditation cushion, and slowly closed his eyes to begin his cultivation.

……

Yin Hun Sect, Spirit Island.

"Roar!"

A deep tiger's roar echoed as a two-headed Yin Spirit Beast King, which had just broken through to the third rank, instinctively lowered its head and slowly stepped onto the spirit island in a low voice.

The island was gloomy, filled with a chilling, eerie atmosphere and ghostly aura.

The sharp howls of evil spirits echoed from time to time in the ghostly mist, and even inside the island, screams of agony reverberated.

Upon hearing this sound, a wisp of divine consciousness within a tiger's head couldn't help but shudder.

It seems this is the ghost cultivator from the Yin Soul Sect who has been tormented for over six hundred years. He's really had a miserable time.

After stepping onto the spirit island, the huge tiger's body stomped on the ground, shaking its head as it slowly headed towards the place rich in spiritual energy.

Unlike demonic beasts, spirits, though territorial, often leave behind powerful spirits, allowing weaker ones to greedily absorb the yin energy.

After the powerful Yin Spirit Beast King returns, it will instinctively hide again.

To put it simply, the intelligence of ordinary spirits is even less than that of wild animals.

Only by cultivating to the late stage of the third rank can one gradually awaken spiritual intelligence, and only after transforming into human form at the fourth rank can one possess spiritual intelligence indistinguishable from that of humans.

Similarly, spirits also have a unique advantage: long lifespan. "That valley, the dilapidated pavilion is still there, and the jade slips scattered around are such a waste..."

Having finally caught the other powerful Yin Spirit Beast Kings and left, Lin Chang'an drove this Yin Spirit Beast King to this valley.

Even from a great distance, he could see the once magnificent and majestic pavilion in the ghost cultivator's memory, but now it was just ruins.

Everywhere there were the mutilated remains of cultivators.

And after six hundred years, the jade slips scattered all over the ground have been covered with a layer of dust.

"Roar!"

With a deep roar, the two-headed tiger beast king shook its head and slowly moved forward. The chaotic thoughts of the past year seemed to have gradually adapted to being controlled by another ideology.

This is like a sudden awakening of intelligence within your body amidst chaotic and violent thoughts, constantly telling you what to do.

Especially after several warnings of danger, I instinctively began to believe that this was my own thought.

It's because this spirit is so low in intelligence that such a method would be impossible for an ordinary demon beast.

This made Lin Chang'an secretly sigh, realizing that the cultivation world was indeed full of talented people.

It's astonishing that someone could come up with such a plan, allowing the spirit of the demon to merge with the magical artifact, and then use the artifact's spirit consciousness to control the demon beast king.

As he passed a pile of broken jade slips, Lin Chang'an resisted the urge to be greedy and continued on his way.

The wandering spirits in the distance, including some powerful third-tier spirits, merely let out threatening roars upon seeing the two-headed tiger exuding the aura of an early third-tier spirit.

This is a warning to it.

The two-headed tiger shook its head, lowered its head even further, and began to detour, searching for a suitable place to absorb and release yin energy.

There used to be a late-stage Tier 3 Yin Spirit Beast King here, but it's not here today, which is why so many Tier 3 Yin Spirits have rushed up here.

"There are a large number of jade slips under the eaves ahead, as well as damaged restriction array flags!"

Lin Chang'an's divine sense was tense, and when he saw the broken restriction array flag in the distance, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

This is no ordinary Tier 3 restricted material!

Finally found!
According to the ghost cultivator's memories, this pavilion was the library of the Yin Soul Sect.

Of course, he also knew that the core secrets of the Nascent Soul sect must be in the cave dwellings of Nascent Soul cultivators.

The problem is that the Nascent Soul cultivator's cave is the place with the most abundant spiritual energy on the island, and a fourth-order transformed Yin Spirit Beast King is currently entrenched there.

"Let's make do. Even if it's just these things from outside, if I can really take them back, it'll be enough for me to live on for hundreds of years."

Lin Chang'an, trying to reassure himself, urged the two-headed tiger to slowly approach the eaves. Its enormous size caused the tiger to creak as it placed its claws on the ground.

It's easy to imagine how sturdy the building was, and the two-headed tiger immediately lay down.

When the surrounding Yin Spirit Beast Kings saw it lie down, they all shifted their gaze.

There are now five third-tier Yin Spirit Beast Kings in this place rich in spiritual energy. Their strengths vary, and they all secretly absorb spiritual energy while their master is away.

As the two-headed tiger crouched down, though it didn't understand, it instinctively opened its mouth and licked its lower body.

As a result, every time the tongue licked a spot, a portion of the jade slip disappeared, all of it being swallowed by the long, scarlet tongue.

half a month later.

Suddenly a roar rang out, and instantly the six Yin Spirit Beast Kings in this sacred land were awakened. There were originally five, but a third one appeared midway through.

Instinctively, they began to flee, for the master of this place, the late-stage third-tier Yin Spirit Beast King, had returned.

The two-headed tiger, however, suddenly lunged back the moment it rose up.

Previously, there was a mid-stage Tier 3 Yin Spirit Beast King who occupied the best spot here, a dilapidated cave dwelling.

It was obvious that a huge beast's claw had smashed most of the cave dwelling to pieces, and traces of the cave's decorations from six hundred years ago were still faintly visible.

There was even a skeleton with a crystalline sheen, and it was unclear whether it belonged to the original owner of this cave. It also had a storage bag at its waist.

"Roar!"

The two-headed tiger pounced suddenly, and in the next moment, its two blood-red mouths opened, sucking in all the jade slips scattered in and around the cave that it could carry. Then it hurriedly fled.

"Ow..."

However, just as the two-headed tiger hurriedly escaped, it was met with a tail whip that sent its massive body flying, crashing into the cliff and creating a pile of rubble.

The two-headed tiger instinctively screamed in pain, but what it saw was a humanoid Yin Spirit Beast King with a ferocious face like a demon and a tail covered in bone spurs.

It was obvious that the Yin Spirit Beast King was the master of this place, while the two-headed tiger was the slowest to leave.

"Ow..."

Under the powerful aura of the Yin Spirit Beast King, the two-headed tiger instinctively roared and fled in panic with its tail between its legs.

The other party, however, gave a cold, sinister smile, seemingly unaware of anything amiss.

"Disgrace! Utter disgrace!"

At this moment, Lin Chang'an's consciousness within the two-headed tiger was wide-eyed, filled with resentment.

The two-headed tiger's instinctive embarrassment was one thing, but this way of tucking its tail between its legs made it so embarrassed it blushed.

At the same time, he also remembered the appearance and aura of this Yin Spirit Beast King, so that he could use it if he found this beast on the outskirts of the Ghost Realm in the future.

This beast must be killed and its demonic core extracted to avenge this humiliation.

Meanwhile, the two-headed tiger, with its tail between its legs, fled in disarray, even escaping from the Yin Soul Sect's Spirit Island. Lin Chang'an then drove it to the outer perimeter to reunite with him.

……

Several days later, on a deserted island on the outskirts of the Ghost Realm.

Lin Chang'an, who was cultivating inside the cave, suddenly opened his eyes, and his face revealed an uncontrollable joy.

His divided consciousness finally sensed something, which proved that it was not far away.

"finally come!"

He spent a whole year planning and scheming, but he didn't try to get his hands on the spiritual fruits and herbs or any lost treasures on the island.

Instead, they kept their eyes on the inheritance of the Sutra Repository, all for this day.

Spiritual fruits and herbs can be bought with spirit stones, and even these lost treasures have value.

But the inheritance of this Nascent Soul sect is priceless.

Even if he joined any Nascent Soul sect now, he would never gain genuine trust.

After all, how can an outsider Golden Core cultivator be compared to one who has been trained since childhood?

Half an incense stick later, a Tier 3 Two-Headed Tiger Yin Spirit Beast King appeared on the deserted island.

After entering the formation, the enormous figure disappeared.

"Roar!"

However, as soon as he entered the Mysterious Five Elements Formation, he was greeted by a third-tier early-stage Green Horned Ox, a third-tier mid-stage Phoenix Crying Bird, and Lin Chang'an, who had a mid-stage Core Formation cultivation.

Instantly, the Yin Spirit Beast King roared in fear repeatedly. Although it was being manipulated and driven by Lin Chang'an's divine sense, its intelligence still remained, driven by instinctive fear.

"All right!"

Facing this ferocious Yin Spirit Beast King, Lin Chang'an rarely showed a satisfied smile, as he was soothed by Xuan Tian's magical power.

The tyrannical and chaotic Yin Spirit Beast King gradually began to be calmed down.

However, just as Lin Chang'an was about to manipulate the two-headed tiger to spit out all the jade slips inside its belly, he suddenly felt a jolt in his heart.

This flutter of the heart, this chill down my spine, was very brief.

But it also made him quickly alert.
