Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 352 Devour!

"A mutated spirit beast!"

As the Green Horned Bull unleashed its power, it smashed open a huge gap, leaving Fairy Ni Chang looking utterly shocked.

"Senior Lin, save me..."

"Friend Lin..."

This sudden turn of events gave the others a chance to escape, and they fled in panic amidst the chaos.

But many more cultivators were being devoured by countless evil spirits, and they cried out for help in agony.

A piercing, sharp sound came from the island behind them, and countless evil spirits roared as they rushed towards the group, as if their prey had escaped their control.

"go!"

The moment it escaped, the Green Horned Ox was instantly put into the Spirit Beast Bag.

However, just as Lin Chang'an and Fairy Ni Chang were flying away in their escape light, their expressions suddenly changed drastically, and they stopped.

Because the space in front of them suddenly became blurry and distorted, a figure actually walked out from inside.

"Little mice, where are you trying to escape to?"

A harsh, clanging sound echoed.

"Run away!"

The cultivators who had been fleeing in all directions just moments before, who had seemed grateful to Lin Chang'an for opening the breach, were all gone after the disaster.

However, beneath the ugly old man's mocking smile, one after another, the third-tier Yin Spirit Beast Kings roared away.

Lin Chang'an and Fairy Ni Chang did not hesitate for a moment. If they delayed any longer and waited for everyone to be eliminated, the Yin Spirit army would attack again, which would be even more dangerous.

Suddenly, the Sun-Piercing Divine Sword emitted scorching flames and transformed into a streak of light that shot forward.

At the same time, the fire pearl magic weapon in the fairy's mouth also burst into towering flames, forming the words "Roaring Fire Dragon".

"Senior, even if you are a transformed Yin Spirit Beast King, it is not your true form. How much of your strength can you unleash?"

While launching the attack, Fairy Ni Chang kept reminding her opponent that the two of them were quite powerful when they joined forces.

However, under the suppression of attributes, the ugly old man gave a ferocious smile, and the black mist spread out and transformed into ferocious snakes.

When it collides with the fire dragon, it produces a hissing sound, like water and fire colliding.

However, as the Sun-Piercing Divine Sword pierced into the black mist, a piercing and angry roar resounded.

"It's actually a magic weapon made from the Fusang Divine Tree. Today, I will devour the primordial spirits of you two human cultivators."

The black mist suddenly erupted, transforming into two black dragons that roared and attacked the two of them respectively.

"Fight and retreat, lead this man to the ambush set by the swordsmen!"

Faced with such an opponent, Lin Chang'an did not hesitate at all and did not choose to fight head-on here.

With a wave of his hand, nine sword beams whistled through the air. At the same time, after exchanging a telepathic message with Fairy Ni Chang, the two transformed into rainbows and flew diagonally to the opposite sides.

However, the black dragon formed from yin energy was even faster.

The spirits were known for their ability to escape, and at this moment, the two of them finally experienced what it felt like to be chased and beaten.

"Hehe, you two little mice, where do you think you're going?"

As the black dragon roared and chased after it, a series of piercing sounds emanated from its mouth.

"Not good, a soul attack!"

In an instant, a sharp pain shot through his divine sense, causing Lin Chang'an to groan. With a wave of his hand, he unleashed nine mid-grade third-tier fire dragon talismans.

Amidst the echoing sounds of bombing, the black dragon ferociously tore the fire dragon apart and roared as it continued its pursuit of Lin Chang'an.

"Hehe, little mouse, you're quite capable. I bet your primordial spirit would taste delicious if you devoured it."

The unpleasant sounds echoed, subtly stirring up various feelings of fear in people's hearts.

Lin Chang'an suddenly realized something was wrong, and roared angrily, launching a counterattack with his own divine sense.

"This old ghost is actually proficient in the soul-binding secret techniques of the Yin Soul Sect. His words amplify the fear in people's hearts!"

Yinling was already skilled in supernatural abilities related to the soul and spirit, and he also possessed the supernatural ability of bewitching sounds recorded in the Yinling Sect's heritage.

Mystic Soul Thorn

A muffled groan suddenly came from within the black mist, followed by a ferocious laugh.

"This little mouse has quite the sharp mind, and it's even proficient in spiritual powers. It seems I have no choice but to devour your primordial spirit!"

"Old ghost, if you really had that kind of strength, you wouldn't have resorted to such a despicable sneak attack. If you want to keep me here, your mere fragmented soul is not enough."

Lin Chang'an also let out a cold shout, and three Sun-Piercing Divine Swords formed a sword shield around his body. Surrounded by the Heavenly Yang Spiritual Fire, the opponent was extremely wary.

At the same time, he manipulated three sun-piercing divine swords to launch continuous attacks.

The old ghost first used thousands of Yin spirits, and then attacked with divine sense and supernatural powers, clearly indicating that he did not want to confront them head-on, which confirmed his suspicions.

"Heavenly Yang Spiritual Fire, excellent! If it were a flying sword forged from a six-thousand-year-old Fusang Divine Tree, even I, in my true form, would have to be wary of it."

"Unfortunately, the material of your flying swords is only three thousand years old, not enough. I'd like to see how long you, little mouse, can last!"

Although it is not as strong as its physical body, its soul quality is at the Nascent Soul stage, so the Heavenly Yang Spiritual Fire is at most a headache for him.

As the black dragon roared, streams of malevolent energy surged forth. As Lin Chang'an flew to the side, he continuously formed hand seals, and his flying sword, flashing with firelight, darted through the air.

"How long can we hold out?!"

A cold glint flashed in Lin Chang'an's eyes; he wasn't afraid of a war of attrition.

If he weren't afraid of the influence of those countless evil spirits and calamities, which might even deplete his strength, he would have stopped long ago and unleashed the Phoenix Bird to fight.

"Hehehe, kid, that girl is injured. Are you feeling sorry for her? If you are, hurry up and save her. Otherwise, I'll gladly accept this delicious primordial spirit and essence blood..."

The piercing and terrifying sound continued to echo, but Lin Chang'an remained calm. He circulated the Divine Sense Chapter of his cultivation technique, and his divine sense became clear, completely unaffected.

Meanwhile, a deafening roar erupted, especially the largest burst of fire dragon, clearly indicating the self-destruction of a magical artifact.

However, Lin Chang'an remained unmoved, coldly and swiftly fleeing to fight the old ghost.

"She's really heartless. But do you know what? After hearing that you were injured, this girl actually detonated her magic weapon! Hehehe..."

At this moment, the transformed Yin Spirit Beast King was also extremely angry. It had been trapped for more than six hundred years, and had also tormented the souls of these human cultivators for more than six hundred years.

Over the past six hundred years, it has also learned a great deal from these human cultivators.

Having finally managed to split off this clone, it believed that since there was a way to suppress and trap it, there must also be a way to break free.

"You wretches from the Azure Sea Palace! Just you wait! After I escape, I'll hide deep within the Heavenly Mist Sea, and when you're nearing the end of your lives, I'll come out and take my revenge on you!"

To this day, this transformed Yin Spirit Beast King, who deeply hates the Azure Sea Palace, cannot help but show fear when mentioning his enemy.

……

This chase lasted for a full half hour.

Until they saw a fiery red array shield covering a reef island in the distance.

"Hehehe, little mouse, is this your backup plan? You can't escape."

Upon seeing the array in the distance, the transformed Yin Spirit Beast King not only did not become angry, but instead let out a ferocious sneer as thousands of Yin energies roared and attacked wildly.

It was more than happy that the two little mice were hiding inside the formation, so that they could be caught like turtles in a jar.

"not good!"

Just as the formation began to relax, a beam of black light shot directly from the sea, prompting Lin Chang'an to shout and unleash a powerful defensive shield.

However, the shield was as thin as paper and was easily pierced. Then, sparks flew from the sword and shield, and the magic shield was also pierced.

"Pfft!"

Blood splattered everywhere; the black light was too fast, so fast that there was hardly any time to react.

"Old ghost!"

Lin Chang'an was shocked and furious. What a treacherous old devil! His grasp of human nature was simply unparalleled.

They seemed to be forcing him to come to the island, but they were actually plotting a deadly move.

At this moment, one side of his cheek was covered in blood and flesh.

"The cunning boy managed to dodge the attack, but the little girl wasn't so lucky."

As the piercing sound echoed, Lin Chang'an did not hesitate to fly backwards with his escape light tilted, while simultaneously making a hand seal and using the Sun Piercing Divine Sword to quickly counterattack. At the same time, his body also flew into the formation.

At the same time, a blood-stained figure flew into the formation.

At this moment, Fairy Ni Chang was pale, her chest was pierced, and there was black blood on her face. She managed to force a smile, and then her eyes dimmed and closed weakly.

Its body also fell from the sky.

She's really outmatched this time. Who would have thought she'd encounter such an opponent? Although her strength at the late Core Formation stage is not bad, her opponent is countered by her in every aspect.

It only had one magic weapon that could counter fire, but its grade was too low, forcing it to self-destruct.

Otherwise, her cultivation at the late stage of Core Formation wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

"Fellow!"

When Lin Chang'an stepped forward to take her and examine her, he discovered that Fairy Ni Chang was severely injured and that a deadly poison was eroding her body.

The magic weapon used in the previous sneak attack contained a deadly poison.

"Owner!"

The sword attendant also rushed over, and after entering the formation, Lin Chang'an released the Green Horned Ox without hesitation.

"Moo!"

As preparations for battle were underway, outside the formation, two black dragons merged and slowly transformed into the figure of an ugly old man.

"Heh heh, Heavenly Fire Formation, not bad formation, but it can't stop my army of thousands of Yin spirits. I will taste your flesh and blood and your primordial spirit today."

Beneath the greedy laughter, a dark cloud appeared in the distance.

If you get close, you'll see that this isn't a dark cloud at all, but rather a dark mass of malevolent spirits that are rushing towards you.

Inside the formation, Lin Chang'an calmly injected a life-saving magical power into Fairy Ni Chang's body before beginning to manipulate the formation.

"Old ghost, let's see today whether your army of Yin spirits outnumbers mine or my array spirit stones!"

Lin Chang'an gave a cold shout, and one after another, high-grade spirit stones flew out and landed directly inside the formation.

In an instant, flames erupted within the formation, and a terrifying ball of fire began to condense within it.

Then, in the next moment, he attacked the opponent.

With a deafening roar, the opponent managed to dodge, but the dense army of Yin spirits screamed in agony as a large portion of them were annihilated.

"Fuck me!"

Hidden within the army of Yin spirits, the ugly, shape-shifting old man sneered menacingly. He had as many low-level Yin spirits as he wanted and was utterly unafraid of losses.

In an instant, countless evil spirits, unafraid of death, frantically rushed towards the formation.

Lin Chang'an, however, remained unusually calm within the formation. His injuries were visibly healing, and his magical power was rapidly recovering.

……

Amidst the dense swarms of ghostly calamities, the ugly old man greedily devoured the food he had just caught. When he looked towards the human cultivator within the formation, his pupils suddenly contracted.

"A self-healing body!"

This magical artifact belonged to a human cultivator from the Yin Soul Sect, and it had always been invincible before.

"That's interesting. Even among demonic beasts, this kind of physique is rare. I never expected it to appear in a human cultivator."

"However, if you think you can outlast me with your mere self-healing body, dream on!"

With a furious roar from the ugly old man in his transformed form, countless evil spirits attacked even more rampantly. However, the formation was burning with raging flames, making it the nemesis of the evil spirits.

The ugly old man, with a ferocious smile on his face as he saw this scene, transformed into a dragon formed from black mist and pounced wildly.

"Boy, today I'll teach you this formation properly!"

"Oh!"

As a gap appeared in the array's barrier and countless evil spirits rushed in, Lin Chang'an, inside the array, revealed a sinister smile.

"Formation! Let me teach you!"

Up!
The moment the Heavenly Fire Array shattered, countless Yin Spirits were reduced to ashes by the terrifying spray of flames.

"Boy! I gladly accept your primordial spirit!"

However, the annihilation of countless evil spirits was nothing but fear to the ugly old man in human form; at this moment, his greedy gaze was fixed only on this flesh and blood body.

However, just as the black dragon attacked, a phoenix's cry suddenly rang out.

"what!"

With a cry that stretched for nearly ten feet, the phoenix bird seized the dragon that had been transformed from the dragon with its sharp claws, and in the next moment, it spewed out terrifying flames.

Lin Chang'an was not idle either. With his powerful late-stage Core Formation divine sense, the nine Sun-Piercing Divine Swords burst into terrifying flames.

Greatsword Technique

In an instant, the nine sun-piercing divine swords transformed into giant swords and attacked the black dragon.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, from the sudden appearance of the Phoenix Bird to its sneak attack, and then to Lin Chang'an's killing move.

"Ah...this is no ordinary phoenix! It's a golden flame divine phoenix!"

Beneath its furious roar lay a hint of fear; this transformed Yin Spirit Beast King was enraged beyond measure.

It never expected that it would be outmaneuvered by a human cultivator.

No matter how strong it is, it is still just a fragment of a soul, and ultimately not a fourth-tier Nascent Soul expert.

Both the Golden Flame Divine Phoenix and the Heavenly Yang Spiritual Fire of the Sun Piercing Divine Sword are beings that can counter it.

It never expected that an ordinary human Core Formation cultivator would possess so many means to restrain it.

"Old ghost, this is nothing. You're staying here today."

"Kid, don't get cocky!"

With a roar, the black dragon suddenly spat out several large snakes formed from black mist, which attacked Lin Chang'an.

However, when faced with this attack, Lin Chang'an tilted his body and flew backward to dodge, while calmly forming hand seals with his hands.

Instantly, dense fire-attribute spiritual energy appeared in the air, and a formation barrier larger than the previous one was activated.

"Damn human cultivators!"

Third-Tier High-Grade Formation: Blood Fiend Crimson Sun Formation
This formation is also the strongest formation he has mastered to date.

Everything he did was in preparation for this formation.

Whether it's the phoenixes fighting fiercely and holding onto their opponent tightly, or the nine sun-piercing divine swords, the bottom line is that they all want to hold off their opponent.

Otherwise, given the opponent's terrifying speed of escape, they probably wouldn't even have time to activate the formation before they escaped.

"Heh heh, kid, I admit I underestimated you, but you've seriously underestimated Nascent Soul cultivators!"

Amidst the billowing black mist, a chilling laugh echoed. The next moment, the black mist suddenly exploded, and the phoenix bird was injured by the blast amidst its mournful cry.

"Spiritual rebirth!"

Lin Chang'an's expression changed drastically upon seeing this.

This transformed spirit uses this technique to control cultivators; it's practically a form of possession.

"Hehe, kid, I'm very curious, what does it feel like to devour a primordial spirit with your self-healing body!"

The speed was too fast, so fast that Lin Chang'an was both surprised and delighted. This old ghost was practically nourishment delivered to his doorstep. Having learned from his previous experience, he was now least afraid of such underhanded tricks as possession of a body by the spirit.

To his surprise, he couldn't dodge it; how could this Yin Spirit Escape Technique be so fast?

Mystic Soul Thorn

"Heh heh, brat, although I am merely a fragment of a soul, and my spiritual sense is not at the Nascent Soul stage, I am still far superior to you, a mere Core Formation cultivator..."

hum!
Deep within his sea of ​​consciousness, the transformed Yin Spirit Beast King, who had just barged in, abruptly stopped speaking, staring in disbelief at the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine before him that had only three leaves.

"It's you!"

The Xuan Tian Immortal Vine exuded a blue life force, but its powerful divided soul was imprisoned as if it had encountered a natural enemy, unable to move.

This familiar aura reminded it of the last time a human cultivator had devoured a wisp of its divine consciousness.

"No! Kid, you're quite strong. Let's make a deal. I suppose you also want to reach the Nascent Soul stage? And there's the Nascent Soul inheritance on Yin Soul Sect Island."

"I promise you, if we join forces, the relics of the two Nascent Soul cultivators on Yin Soul Sect Island will be yours first..."

Terrified, it roared repeatedly, for this fragment of its soul, which it had painstakingly separated, was crucial to its plan to escape.

"No---"

The remnant soul of the transformed Yin Spirit Beast King was unable to move, as if it were imprisoned by some kind of rule power, and could only watch helplessly as it was devoured.

A painful, terrified scream came from the soul level and then abruptly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, memories from over a thousand years began to flash in my mind.

Resisting this torrent of fragmented memories and sifting through them caused Lin Chang'an to reveal a pained expression.

Perhaps it was because the level of a fourth-order Nascent Soul cultivator was too high, and the memories were too vast and chaotic, that Lin Chang'an struggled to sift out the useful memories.

As the phoenix cried out, it protected Lin Chang'an within the array's core, while the sword attendant and the green-horned ox began to coordinate with the array to eliminate the countless Yin spirits trapped inside.

……

In the early stages, it was all fragmented memories in a daze. From the moment it gained sentience, this transformed Yin Spirit Beast King turned out to be a rare Yin Spirit born in an extremely Yin Spirit Vein.

Over thousands of years, from initially being clueless about absorbing Yin energy to cultivate, to the excitement and greed he felt when first absorbing the primordial spirits and blood essence of human cultivators and demon beasts, his greed became uncontrollable.

It gradually grew into a ferocious fourth-order transformed Yin Spirit Beast King. Just as it was excitedly taking advantage of the beast tide attacking human cultivators, it also seized the opportunity to enter.

However, two exceptionally elegant figures appeared, their contemptuous and indifferent eyes, just like the way it would look at prey, which enraged it.

However, it was then violently suppressed; its unstoppable speed and its ethereal body were all crushed.

Finally, the seemingly gentle but devilishly smiling human female cultivator trampled it underfoot, humiliating its dignity, and revealed a mocking smile.

His consciousness was sealed, and a restriction was placed within his soul. When he awoke in a daze, he was already on the Yin Soul Sect Island.

Then an ant-like human at the Core Formation stage sneered at it, made a hand seal, and used the woman's restriction to make its soul burn. It also fed it a Azure Fruit.

What followed was the disaster for the Yin Soul Sect...

He didn't know how much time had passed, but under the shimmering spiritual light of the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine within his body, Lin Chang'an suddenly awoke with a start. At this moment, he was already soaked to the bone, and his eyes were filled with terror.

"I almost! I almost got lost in these memories."

At the same time, the spiritual light of the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine dimmed a bit, making him realize that this kind of technique of probing the opponent beyond his own limits would also bring a burden to himself and the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine.

Even if the opponent is an avatar and its strength is only at the Core Formation stage, the quality of its soul is something that a Core Formation cultivator cannot easily compromise.

If it weren't for the spiritual light of his natal plant, the Mysterious Heavenly Vine, which awakened him, he would have almost fallen into depravity.

"This Yin Spirit Beast King was a naturally gifted creature, but I never expected it to be in such a miserable state."

A late-stage fourth-tier transformed Yin Spirit Beast King, a powerful being in the depths of the Tongtian Mist Sea, was suppressed just like that.

During the more than 600 years of suppression, his memories were often hazy and confused.

"No wonder my previous memories were so chaotic and even incomplete. It seems to be a side effect of the Star Moon Palace Master's restrictive techniques."

Through his memories, Lin Chang'an gained a deeper understanding of the methods of a fourth-tier Nascent Soul cultivator, and couldn't help but shudder.

At the same time, he also learned about the Yin Spirit Beast King's scheme.

Its soul suffered indelible damage, and its cultivation level plummeted to the mid-stage of the fourth rank. Now, roaring in pain, it found a secret technique within the inheritance of the Yin Soul Sect.

Splitting the soul is a secret technique similar to the second nascent soul formation in human cultivators.

Then, through this split soul, they continuously searched among human cultivators for a way to break the curse.

"As expected, those who can become Nascent Soul cultivators, whether human, demon beast, or even Yin spirit, are all old foxes who have lived for thousands of years."

As the divided soul dissipated, countless evil spirits outside the formation let out ghostly howls, and then scattered and fled.

"Next, we need to clear the evil spirits from the formation and then get out of this awful place as soon as possible."

……

Ghost Realm, the Spirit Island of the Yin Soul Sect.

In the instant the divided soul vanished, a shrill roar suddenly echoed from the dark hall in the center of the island.

"Who! Who ruined my plans!"

In the shadows, the ugly old man opened his eyes, his gaze filled with resentment and rage.

"You just wait! I refuse to believe you can outlive me!"

In his unwilling roar, the powerful lifespan of the Yin Spirit became his only remaining belief.

"We can't afford any more accidents. We must split off another soul and hide it away, waiting for the human cultivators' place to open."

There's definitely something in that place that will help me escape..."

A hoarse, shrill voice echoed in the decaying hall, and the old man in black slowly closed his eyes with a sinister look.

He split his soul, making its aura unstable, but in order to escape this place, he had no choice but to use this self-harming method.

……

Tianquan Peak.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, thank you."

The Fairy of Rainbow Garments, clutching her chest which still ached slightly, frowned slightly. Although she didn't know what had happened before.

But she knew that it was this fellow Daoist Lin who had saved her.

When she woke up, she was lying in his arms, and he was using his magic to heal her.

"You're too kind, Fairy Ni Chang. If your skills and supernatural powers hadn't been suppressed, we wouldn't be in such a sorry state."

Lin Chang'an also pretended to be relieved, as if he had just survived a disaster.

He had just returned to Tianquan Peak and reported what had happened to the Bihai Palace cultivators.

For now, let the professionals deal with this monstrous beast king from the underworld.

"If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Lin's help, even if I had managed to survive, my golden core would probably have been corrupted."

This time, the Fairy of Rainbow Robes was truly grateful from the bottom of her heart.

She knew better than anyone how powerful the insidious force was in that attack of black light.

It's no longer just a simple poison; it also contains a strong ghostly aura that erodes life force and corrodes the golden core.

If treatment is not timely, the Golden Core will be eroded, and there will be no hope of achieving the Dao.

Just as Fairy Ni Chang was about to say something, two streaks of light appeared in the distance, namely Liu Ruyu and Xu Lingfeng from Xuan Yin Pavilion.

This made Fairy Ni Chang suppress her words and nod gently at Lin Chang'an.

"This matter is of great importance, so let's leave it all to the Azure Sea Palace."

Although she had many things she wanted to say to this fellow Daoist Lin, seeing the people from inside the sect come to meet her, Fairy Ni Chang could only sigh softly.

"Master!"

"Senior sister!"

When Xu Lingfeng and Liu Ruyu landed, they couldn't help but gasp in surprise when they saw the pale-faced Fairy Ni Chang clutching her chest.

"Alright, we have to thank Fellow Daoist Lin for this."

Facing the two, Fairy Ni Chang maintained the dignity of a sect leader, nodding calmly as she spoke, while also acknowledging the gravity of the matter.

She didn't want to easily reveal this before the matter was dealt with at Bihai Palace.

"Thank you, Elder Lin."

Liu Ruyu was the most grateful, and she repeatedly cupped her hands in gratitude as she looked at Lin Chang'an.

Xu Lingfeng also had a complicated expression on his face, not expecting that it was Lin Chang'an who saved his senior sister.

“Fellow Daoist Ni Chang is too kind. You never abandoned me in my time of trouble. How could I be an ungrateful person?”

Lin Chang'an also felt a good impression of the Fairy of Rainbow Robes.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, if you have some free time in the future, you are welcome to visit Xuanyin Peak."

Before leaving, Fairy Ni Chang gently stroked her hair, a rare occurrence, and took out a jade pendant from her storage bag. With a gentle smile, she personally handed the jade pendant to Lin Chang'an.

This scene made Liu Ruyu's eyes widen in surprise. Had her sect leader finally come to his senses?

Xu Lingfeng hesitated, opening his mouth but not knowing what to say.

After all, that person had just saved his senior sister; if he were to speak out, wouldn't that be considered impolite?

Lin Chang'an smiled and nodded, not thinking the jade pendant was particularly important, and accepted it with a cupped hand.

When Fairy Ni Chang saw Lin Chang'an accept the gift, a smile appeared on her still somewhat pale face.

True friendship is revealed when people share hardships together.

If she dies, the biggest beneficiary will undoubtedly be Lin Chang'an.

"Farewell."

Afterwards, Fairy Ni Chang, escorted by the two men, left Tianquan Peak and headed towards the Xuan Yin Pavilion sect.

……

"Sect Master, with your cultivation and supernatural abilities, what could have happened to you that could have injured you so severely?"

After leaving Tianquan Peak, Liu Ruyu could no longer contain her curiosity and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, Elder Lin's cultivation is inferior to Senior Sister's, but it seems that she hasn't been injured at all!"

Xu Lingfeng couldn't help but feel puzzled.

However, the fairy in rainbow-colored robes, sitting on the back of the blue eagle, seemed to recall something, and her eyes unusually gleamed as she shook her head and said:
"This matter is of great importance. I will tell you about it when we get back. Also, Fellow Daoist Lin will definitely be a trustworthy person in the sect in the future."

Seeing that his senior sister had completely trusted this person, Xu Lingfeng's eyes widened. Was this how it ended after going through thick and thin together?

However, as Fairy Ni Chang gazed at the Xuan Yin Peak drawing ever closer in the wind, scenes from the past flashed through her mind.

It's not so easy to share hardships together.

This Fellow Daoist Lin probably already knows about his treasures and the condition within his body.

In that situation, faced with such temptation, how many people could resist their temptations?

If the treasures in her storage bag were to be revealed, it would undoubtedly attract the greed of countless Core Formation cultivators.

"Master, these years have been so tiring."

With her eyes glazed over, who could understand the weariness in her heart?

From the moment he achieved the Golden Core stage, this prodigy shouldered the heavy responsibility of the sect's rise and fall.

They watched helplessly as their sect declined, countless junior brothers and sisters perished, and the sect was even forced to leave the Yue Kingdom.

They traveled all the way to the Demon Beast Sea Abyss, dealing with various forces, and their sect was in dire straits.

She has carried too much on her journey, and although she has no regrets, it has been incredibly tiring.

For the first time in a century, she felt at peace.

On her way back, she vaguely saw the person in front of her protecting her chest and treating her injuries. For the first time, she was able to let go of the burden in her heart and sleep peacefully.

Unfortunately, the fairy in the rainbow-colored dress sighed softly as she regained her senses, her eyes clearing as she glanced back at the direction of Tianquan Peak.

Her path was bound by the sect, but this was a choice she made without regret.

Lin Chang'an also has his own path to walk.

"Nascent Soul! As long as I can become a Nascent Soul cultivator, nothing can stop me!"

At this moment, a resolute look appeared in the eyes of the Fairy of Rainbow Robes.

Meanwhile, Lin Chang'an was counting his spoils of war on Tianquan Peak.

……

Tianquan Peak, inside the pavilion

Lin Chang'an and the Phoenix Bird stared wide-eyed at how many good things were in the old ghost's storage bag.

As for obtaining other cultivators' storage bags or damaged magic treasures, he didn't even notice them.

"Master, quickly open it and take a look. This is the storage bag of the transformed Yin Spirit Beast King!"

The phoenix, extremely greedy for treasures, had long been unable to contain its excitement.

Even the injuries it sustained in the previous battle couldn't stop its obsession with the treasure at this moment.

However, as the storage bag was opened, the Phoenix's initial anticipation turned into shock, followed by anger.

"Master, we've been tricked! What kind of penniless wretch is this!"

Inside the storage bag were more than two hundred high-grade spirit stones, some black stones, and three dark black spirit diamonds.

That's all. There's nothing else.

Compared to the furious phoenix, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but smile as he held the three drills.

"Alright, this evil spirit has the effect of corroding magical artifacts. I suppose many of the treasures on the island have been corroded over the years."

Furthermore, this old demon is extremely arrogant; he naturally wouldn't even look at ordinary magic weapons. These three drills are made of fourth-tier spiritual material, Yinming Refined Iron, a top-tier spiritual material even for forging fourth-tier magic weapons.

These three black drill bits alone are enough to cover all his previous losses.

In addition, there are other black stones, which are also low-grade Yinming stones and have not yet been fully refined.

"Such spiritual objects, even without being refined into magic treasures, already possess such power; they are truly rare."

Unlike cultivators, spirits cannot refine magical artifacts and can only resort to these crude methods.

As for the treasures that the Yin Spirit Beast King robbed, they were already devoured by the outbreak of the Ghost Realm at that time.

Furthermore, since this fragmented soul had only been out for a short time, its storage bag was naturally cleaner than its face.

This is also why Lin Chang'an gained nothing; it was simply a waste.

"Ghost Realm, Yin Spirit Beast King, now it's up to the Azure Sea Palace to deal with them."

After putting these things away, Lin Chang'an's expression turned serious.

A storm is brewing.

He should focus on his cultivation for a while longer.
