Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 377 Demon-Sealing Altar, Aurora's Killing Intent [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

The auction ended, and Lin Chang'an had made a great profit.

This made him secretly marvel that so many rare items had appeared so easily in Haiyuan City.

In the following days, he purchased some cultivation materials in Haiyuan City and learned a lot of inside information about the place from this Master Tan.

Finally, half a month later, Lin Chang'an looked at his bulging storage bag and his nearly empty spirit stones and fell silent. He had no choice but to turn around and ride away on his green horned ox.

"Although I have revealed a lot of wealth this time, as a third-tier high-grade array master, and with so many business dealings on Bibo Island."

"How could one cultivate so quickly without some foundation? Therefore, flaunting one's wealth this time isn't a big problem."

Sitting half-on the back of the ox, Lin Chang'an squinted as he pondered whether he had overlooked anything during his trip to Haiyuan City.

Fortunately, the biggest problem is flaunting wealth.

But his wealth is insignificant to a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Among Core Formation cultivators, he now possesses the strength to seize the opportunity.

"Ling'er, how did you feel after consuming this spirit pearl?"

Lin Chang'an couldn't help but show curiosity about the spiritual items he bought for his sword servant, as they cost him nearly 400,000 mid-grade spirit stones.

Meanwhile, the sword attendant behind him couldn't help but sense the situation within his body.

"Master, it seems the effect is not very good."

However, upon hearing this, Lin Chang'an chuckled lightly.

“The way to nurture spiritual objects is to accumulate knowledge over time, so there’s no need to rush it.”

If the effects were really that quick, it wouldn't need to appear at an auction; Nascent Soul cultivators would probably be involved too.

Sitting on the ox's back, Lin Chang'an slowly took out several important items he had acquired during his trip.

A third-grade high-quality wind-attribute demon core, Nascent Soul cultivation insights, a near-fourth-grade pill, and a jade slip that Master Tan had entrusted to him before he left.

"With this wind-attribute demon core, I can enhance the power of the Four Symbols Dragon Scale Armor when I return. It would be best to take this near-fourth-tier pill when my cultivation is stagnant and stuck at a bottleneck."

Lin Chang'an pondered for a moment, then finally looked at the jade slip.

This jade slip details the dangerous situation within the secret realm, as well as a set of methods for breaking restrictions using the Five Elements.

"The Five Elements Breaking Technique, no wonder this Sixth Elder needs five third-tier high-grade array masters."

Looking at this secret technique for breaking the formation, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but show a look of sudden realization.

He only obtained this secret technique after meeting the requirements.

"If I don't reach the level of a third-tier high-grade array master, I'm afraid I'll have to be sold to the Azure Sea Palace in the future."

Lin Chang'an knew perfectly well that the benefits of being a Nascent Soul cultivator weren't something you could just take for free.

The Green Horned Ox galloped through the clouds, letting out a rare, relaxed moo of enjoyment, which startled the Phoenix Bird inside the Spirit Beast Pouch.

"Alright, I'll let you out, but you're not allowed to reveal your presence."

Taking a rare moment of relaxation, Lin Chang'an chuckled and released the Phoenix Bird from the spirit beast pouch under his divine sense.

The Phoenix Bird shrank to the size of a palm, circled the Green Horned Ox once, and then landed on Lin Chang'an's shoulder.

"Master, I've been holding it in for so long. Whose bird stays in its burrow all day long?"

The phoenix's mournful tone amused Lin Chang'an, who teased, "..."
"Alright, go ahead and unleash your aura while you fly. If anyone discovers you, don't say I raised you. I think that Xuan Yin Old Demon is probably just waiting for you."

The once-proud phoenix, upon hearing the Nascent Soul cultivator staring at it, immediately shrank its neck, somewhat guilty but still defiantly saying:

"Just wait and see. Once I break through to the fourth rank, let's see who dares to keep an eye on me."

Just then, the Green Horned Ox also let out a deep moo, clearly intending to mock the Phoenix Bird.

It seems to be saying, "You thieving bird, break through to the late stage of the third tier first."

"A gluttonous, stupid cow!"

The phoenix glared at the green-horned ox, then ignored it and fixed its gaze on its master's storage bag.

Lin Chang'an was well aware of the phoenix's wicked intentions, and couldn't help but say irritably:

"Don't even think about it. You don't want to play with fire and get burned when you try to advance and break through next time because I, the master, am not strong enough."

Lin Chang'an's sarcastic tone reminded the Phoenix Bird of its last evolutionary breakthrough, causing its feathers to stand on end.

Then the Phoenix Bird hurriedly shook its head and said in a flattering voice, "Master, look at what you're saying. I was just saying that it's not very safe for you to keep these pills in an ordinary storage bag."

This bird is very clever, and this pleasant scene also brought a rare relaxed smile to the sword attendant beside him.

Lin Chang'an looked down at the jade slip in his hand that described the secret realm.

For this item to be personally bestowed by the Sixth Elder of the Nascent Soul stage of the Azure Sea Palace, it is definitely not an ordinary mainland product.

Sure enough, after examining it carefully, he discovered that the records within this secret realm were extremely detailed, including detailed instructions on how to deal with and avoid certain crises.

"I'm afraid even this one secret jade slip would be a rare treasure in an ordinary power."

However, as Lin Chang'an read the last part of the jade slip, his expression turned serious. The last part was actually an introduction to this secret realm.

"This secret realm suppresses a demon-sealing altar. Each time the secret realm opens, some demonic energy leaks out, causing chaos in the Demon Beast Sea Abyss..."

Demonic energy!

This was the first time he had seen such a direct record, which made Lin Chang'an's expression turn solemn.

Whether they are cultivators or demonic beasts, those tainted by demonic energy will gradually be corrupted and become irrational monsters manipulated by desires.

Most of the demonized creatures will go around killing and attacking any prey they see, whether it is a human cultivator or a fellow demon beast, they are all on their menu.

"According to the jade slip, many Nascent Soul cultivators were initially worried, but after discovering the benefits, they gradually put their worries aside."

These high-level demonic beasts were originally hiding very well, but this group of demonized demonic beasts attacked everywhere, which turned them into easy prey for many human cultivators.

A battle between prey and hunter unfolds.

"Demonic beasts, cultivators, and treasures leaking from the secret realm, coupled with some unscrupulous individuals in the shadows, have plunged the Sea Abyss into chaos..."

Upon seeing this, Lin Chang'an finally understood why the Demon Beast Abyss was frequently in turmoil.

"The Demon-Sealing Altar is said to exist in more than one place in the cultivation world. It suppresses giant demons from the demon realm and is involved in the secrets of the ancient human cultivators' joint battle with the demon race."

Lin Chang'an frowned. For cultivators at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, this matter might just be something to hear as a rumor in the cultivation world.

But considering his preparations for forming his nascent soul and his future lifespan of at least a thousand years, he became even more eager to understand the secrets of the cultivation world.

"The secrets of the cultivation world are truly irresistible."

He thought of his natal magic weapon and the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine, and as his cultivation level increased, his vision and knowledge also broadened.

He increasingly felt that the Fusang Divine Tree and the Xuantian Immortal Vine of such age were not necessarily treasures that could be born in this world.

The fact that even such spiritual objects have been corrupted by demonic energy to this extent clearly indicates that an extremely long period of time has passed.

What secrets lie deep within the Cloud and Mist Mountains?
Why would a Nascent Soul cultivator perish?

"What exactly happened in ancient times? What agreement was there between humans and demons? And what about this demonic energy, and this Fusang Divine Tree?"

Could it be true, as legend has it, that in ancient times, cultivators from the upper realms, carrying celestial treasures, waged a great war against the demon race?

Having lived for so long, and especially after receiving the profound inheritance of the Yin Soul Sect, Lin Chang'an's understanding of the cultivation world is clearly beyond that of ordinary Core Formation cultivators.

"Although I am very fascinated by the secrets of the cultivation world, they are still too far away for me. Only after becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator can I be qualified to talk about the secrets of the cultivation world."

Looking at the jade slip in his hand, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but smile. The more secrets the cultivation world holds, the more exciting and alluring it becomes.

……

"Owner!"

The night was as dark as ink, swallowing the endless sea.

The sky was overcast tonight, and Lin Chang'an slowly raised his head at the sword attendant's soft call.

Suddenly, a streak of light tore through the night sky, like a mighty sword strike unleashed by an unparalleled master, yet without a trace of killing intent.

At first, it was just a faint green hue, but then it suddenly exploded, transforming into countless strands of seven-colored light that covered the entire sky.

"This is the aurora of the Demon Beast Abyss!"

At this moment, Lin Chang'an's eyes reflected a wonder of nature that cultivators could not achieve. Even the usually active Phoenix Cry Bird stared at this scene in astonishment.

The rainbow ribbons were not static, but slowly flowing, as if they had a life of their own, or like the ribbons of celestial maidens, radiating a mesmerizing and dreamlike glow.

Purple, dark green, azure, crimson gold... a variety of colors intertwine and change, reflecting a bizarre and colorful light onto the dark, surging sea below.

Between the sea and the sky, Lin Chang'an, sitting upright on the broad back of the Green Horned Ox, was also enveloped in this eerie light.

"Such a wonder of heaven and earth, I really don't know what level of cultivation one must reach to be able to do this with a wave of the hand."

However, at this moment, Lin Chang'an narrowed his eyes slightly, and the leisurely mood of appreciating the beautiful scenery in his heart instantly disappeared, leaving only deep vigilance.

Beneath this breathtakingly beautiful aurora, who knows how many man-eating monsters and deadly dangers lurk?
This light is a gift from heaven and earth, but also a silent warning.

"What a pity, having to come and disturb us at this time of year."

Lin Chang'an let out a soft sigh, which revealed his annoyance and impatience at having his leisure time disturbed.

With that soft sigh, the Phoenix Bird transformed into a golden light and vanished into the spirit beast pouch.

"Moo!"

The Green Horned Ox also showed its annoyance. The beautiful natural wonders were appreciated not only by humans but also by demonic beasts, so it was naturally displeased to be disturbed.

"Master!" The sword attendant was on guard, a black sword already appearing in his hand.

"This uninvited guest has really come at the worst possible time."

Lin Chang'an's calm tone let his familiar sword servant know that his master was angry.

……

Four Core Formation cultivators, hidden on an island in the distance, all showed expressions of excitement.

"Brother Fan, you're really something, you even managed to predict the aurora."

"No wonder Boss Fan told us to wait a little longer."

"Hehe, this kid would never guess that our Boss Fan is an expert in divination and fortune-telling. I saw him being very generous back in Haiyuan City..."

The leader, Boss Fan, had his long gray hair meticulously tied back with a simple wooden hairpin.

His face was thin and gaunt, covered with fine and deep wrinkles, like the rings of an ancient tree, each one seemingly engraved with endless years and wisdom.

"Alright, if you hadn't traded two spiritual items with this person before, I wouldn't have been able to divine that he would return to the Five Dragons Island waters in a few days."

At this moment, Boss Fan seemed to always have a humble yet hypocritical smile on his lips, and in his hand he held an exquisite tortoise shell and a few copper coins.

Divination requires certain clues and evidence. Divination based on nothing is extremely difficult and is very likely to be inaccurate or even chaotic.

Of course, this skill isn't as exaggerated as it seems. The art of divination also depends on one's own cultivation and fortune. Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune is the most difficult and comes at the greatest cost.

"Brother Fan, I heard that this person is one of the Sixth Elders of Bihai Palace. If we do this, we might really have to flee to the outer sea."

"Alright, it's like we won't be able to escape if we don't do it."

With the other three men all smiles, one of the portly cultivators asked with a fawning grin, "Boss Fan, is there any danger this time?"

Looking at the three of them, Boss Fan couldn't help but snort coldly, his heart filled with contempt.

Do you really think his divination skills are as common as cabbage? If he were really that powerful, he would have become a Nascent Soul cultivator long ago.

"Don't worry, although this person is not weak, how can he compare to us? Especially this Nascent Soul cultivator with a poison sac, if he can even reach 10% of his cultivation in three quarters of an hour, that would be considered good."

Beneath Master Fan's enigmatic smile, his divination skills were only good for fooling this group of ignorant fools.

Who would dare to consult fortune tellers so often? Do they want to die too late?

He relied more on observing people's expressions and secretly investigating, then buying information about the other party to deduce their strength, and finally giving a vague and ambiguous divination.

As for the outcome, it doesn't matter; the final interpretation rests with him. In short, he can always smooth things over in the art of divination.

And the aurora was even easier to obtain. As a Core Formation cultivator who had lived for over four hundred years, he didn't even need to calculate the climate changes in the Demon Beast Sea Abyss.

By simply observing the celestial phenomena and smelling the sea breeze, one can deduce that the answer is fairly accurate.

This aurora, which stretches across the sky, appears once every hundred years or so, and each time it follows a pattern.

The aurora borealis only occurs frequently in the far north.

……

"Fellow Daoist, run! There's a late-stage Tier 3 demon in the distance!"

As the three streaks of light fled in terror, they spotted Lin Chang'an in the distance and hurriedly shouted a warning.

Behind the three was a disheveled old man with gray hair. Seeing them flee, he couldn't help but shout urgently:
"Fellow Daoists, please don't abandon me! I possess a treasure, please save me..."

However, a huge black shadow suddenly emerged from the water behind them, towering dozens of feet high and covered with dense suckers, while tentacles covered with barbed teeth surged out wildly.

The gray-haired old man was trapped inside in a sorry state.

"Moo!"

The Green Horned Ox exuded the terrifying aura of a mid-stage third-tier demon beast. When it sensed the aura of the demon beast in the sea, it couldn't help but widen its eyes.

"A deep-sea behemoth!"

Upon seeing the dark figure emerge, its towering stature of seventy or eighty feet, Lin Chang'an was unusually startled.

This type of monster can only be found in the deep sea and is a species unique to the Monster Abyss, far surpassing other super-large sea beasts of the same level.

"Fellow Daoist, run!"

Even in their panic, the three didn't forget to remind Lin Chang'an.

Just as the three streaks of light rapidly passed by him, both of them unconsciously turned up at the corners of their mouths.

Beneath Lin Chang'an's mocking smile, he realized that if he hadn't already sensed these people, he might even have realized that the sea beast was released by the other party.

I almost believed their acting skills.

It has to be said that any cultivator who suddenly saw this terrifying deep-sea behemoth would also flee immediately.

"good chance!"

As the other three streaked past, excitement shone in their eyes.

Sure enough, the other party fell for this trick again.

The portly middle-aged cultivator, amidst excited laughter, directly retrieved a poison sac from his storage bag and, driven by his magical power, used it.

In an instant, a thick, purplish-black fog enveloped the area.

The other two were using magic to control the poisonous fog.

"Haha, it's done!"

They obtained this venom sac by chance from a fourth-tier deep-sea behemoth in the outer sea, but unfortunately, only a small amount remained. It was enough for them to use against Core Formation cultivators of the same tier, and even against third-tier demonic beasts, it was always effective.

"Boss Fan, stop acting. We can't let this guy get away."

Amidst their excited laughter, the three prepared to defend themselves against the other's escape.

Meanwhile, the gray-haired old man, who was still putting on a pathetic act in the distance, revealed a smug smile upon seeing this scene.

"Once we've done this job, we'll leave this Demon Beast Abyss. We don't care if they're some kind of Nascent Soul cultivator or not. If we have the guts, we'll go to the ends of the earth to find them."

However, just as the four were smiling excitedly, several sword beams suddenly attacked from behind.

"careful!"

The three cultivators who first surrounded Lin Chang'an were especially shocked and hurriedly cast magical shields, but the sword light was too fast.

Amidst the deafening roar of the collision, the three of them barely managed to block it with their combined efforts.

However, at this moment, the purplish-black poisonous fog dissipated before the naked eye, and the last thing seen was Lin Chang'an taking a deep breath through his mouth and nose, directly inhaling all the poisonous fog into his body.

"Run!"

Upon seeing this, the four men's pupils contracted, and without the slightest hesitation, they chose to flee.

Their tricks all lie in this terrifying poisonous fog.

"Give it back to you!"

However, at that moment, Lin Chang'an opened his mouth and nose and suddenly expelled all the poisonous mist that he had previously inhaled.

The purplish-black poisonous mist transformed into an arrow and swept over in an instant. Caught off guard, the three of them frantically activated their magical shields.

"No! Fellow Daoist, spare my life!"

"There is no antidote for this poison..."

This poisonous fog was incredibly potent; it instantly corroded holes in the defensive shields of Core Formation cultivators, leaving only a tiny bit of it contaminated.

The three Core Formation cultivators' skin instantly turned blackish-purple, and their magical power stagnates.

"What a powerful poison!"

Lin Chang'an was also shocked. This poison was terrifying. It was only because he was not afraid of poison that he could withstand it. Otherwise, ordinary Core Formation cultivators would not be able to withstand such a potent poison.

"Pfft!"

Before he could unleash the sword light he had secretly prepared, the poisonous fog proved unexpectedly strong, but the sword servant had already flashed forward.

All three were mid-stage Core Formation cultivators. They were first poisoned, losing nine-tenths of their strength. As a result, they had no power to resist the terrifying sword light of the sword servant.

"not good!"

The gray-haired old man, who had just sensed something was wrong, moved with incredible speed and skill, leaving Lin Chang'an in awe.

This person has already transformed into a streak of light and escaped.

As night fell and the beautiful aurora borealis shone through the air, the gray-haired old man, Mr. Fan, was drenched in cold sweat and filled with terror.

Unexpectedly, this time they mentioned iron plates.

"Fortunately, I always stay the furthest away, so I can escape as quickly as possible. Moreover, my escape technique is rare among cultivators of the same level, except for flying beasts that are skilled in speed..."

Just as the gray-haired old man, Boss Fan, glanced at the rapidly shrinking giant figure behind him, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, while at the same time feeling a pang of heartache.

My spirit pet is probably going to be gone.

"Damn it, we've run out of poison. We can't stay in this Beast Abyss any longer..."

However, before he could finish speaking, a golden light suddenly attacked from behind.

Click!

His magical shield was instantly pierced, and the gray-haired old man, Boss Fan, turned pale, his magical power and blood freezing.

“This is what my master asked me to return to you.”

Just as the golden light that pierced through the magic shield was finally blocked by his defensive magic weapon, it unexpectedly emitted a crisp sound, followed by a mouthful of purplish-black poisonous mist.

"Do not……"

The poisonous fog was all too familiar. In his horror, the gray-haired old man, Fan Laolaodao, finally realized that the golden light was actually a bird.

However, at this moment, the Phoenix Bird's cunning eyes flashed, and it imitated its master's method in a very convincing way, spitting out the poisonous mist that it had just swallowed.

As a result, the moment the defensive magic weapon touched the poisonous mist, it emitted a hissing corrosive sound and its spiritual light dimmed. The poisonous mist gave it no chance, penetrating the protective spiritual light and directly corroding its body.

"what……"

The gray-haired old man's eyes widened, and he had just let out a roar of resentment when the phoenix seized the opportunity and its sharp beak pierced through his abdomen in an instant.

Amidst the splattering of blood, a round, shimmering golden pill was snatched into the mouth of the phoenix.

"Spare...spare..."

In his despair and pain, he was left with only a sliver of consciousness, watching helplessly as his golden core was swallowed whole by the beast.

……

Under the spectacular aurora borealis, countless humans peered out of the abyss of the demon beasts, while the demon beasts themselves rose to the surface, marveling at the power of heaven and earth.

At this time, there was another sea area to travel to and from Wulong Island. The seawater was dyed black, and a huge octopus sea monster had lost its life and was floating on the sea surface.

Several sword beams flashed out from the corpse.

At this moment, Lin Chang'an, who was standing in the sky, caught the magic weapon Piercing Sun Divine Sword with one hand, but his gaze fell on the sea beast.

"It's a pity that such a powerful sea beast is actually lacking in defense."

Even great power has its weaknesses.

His piercing sword, like a hot knife through wax, instantly pierced the soft body of the powerful sea beast.

"Moo!"

As the water churned and splashed, the enraged Green Horned Bull emerged from the water. The Green Horned Bull, which was thirty feet tall, was more than half a head shorter than this sea beast.

With a roar, the Green Horned Bull overturned the sea beast, revealing the petrified part of its abdomen.

"Master, it's all cleaned up."

At this moment, the sword attendant also returned carrying three corpses.

Just then, a golden light swept in from afar, and it was a phoenix soaring into the sky.

"Master, this human cultivator is too cunning. He almost self-destructed his golden core. Luckily, I was fast enough to peck it out. However, it was too urgent at the time. I'm afraid he has another trick up his sleeve..."

The returning phoenix chirped incessantly with a solemn expression, as if it had swallowed the other's golden elixir for its own safety.

However, when Lin Chang'an noticed that the storage pouch at the other person's waist was missing, he knew roughly what had happened, and his eyes twitched involuntarily.

You can't keep an eye on this phoenix bird for long; it'll start playing tricks on you.

"Really? That Jie Xiu is really fast."

Then, looking at the corpse, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but say in a sarcastic tone, "This cultivator probably wanted to self-destruct his storage bag."

At this moment, the phoenix's eyes widened, its pupils darting around anxiously. But seeing the other's empty waist, it couldn't help but stare wide-eyed and say righteously:
"Master, I'm afraid this storage bag will get lost; it's with me."

Lin Chang'an glared at the cunning Phoenix and smiled irritably before beginning to read the memories of the four cultivators one by one.

Seeing this, the phoenix breathed a sigh of relief, having finally escaped this calamity.

"You, you."

At this moment, the Phoenix Bird, feeling guilty, shrank in size and landed on the Sword Servant's shoulder. The Sword Servant, unusually, smiled and pointed at the Phoenix Bird, saying something.

"My lady, I haven't had anything good to eat in so long."

The phoenix looked aggrieved, but this address immediately caused a flash of panic in the sword attendant's eyes. He lowered his voice and said:
"Freeze said!"

The phoenix lowered its head, looking aggrieved, but its cunning eyes darted around, secretly thinking to itself, "Luckily, I was careful beforehand."

After killing the cultivator, the Phoenix hesitated for a moment when looking at the storage bag, but greed ultimately prevailed.

He took out a lot of good things from the storage bag and then secretly put them into his own storage bag.

It anticipated that its owner would definitely ask for the storage bag.

"Hmph, you humans are cunning, but we birds aren't stupid either."

Thinking about how he had snatched some of the benefits, the phoenix couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

……

"So it really is a simple tribulation cultivator."

After a while, Lin Chang'an opened his eyes and couldn't help but mutter to himself that he had been worried about some kind of conspiracy, but it turned out to be a simple ambush.

They set their sights on him in Haiyuan City because of his lavish spending.

Because of the turmoil in the Demon Beast Sea Abyss, these four people planned to make one last heist and then escape, so they were naturally not afraid of being tracked down by the Azure Sea Palace.

This also shows that the turmoil in the Demon Beast Abyss is becoming increasingly widespread, and many people are already considering leaving this dangerous place.

It was precisely because of the increase in this type of cultivator that the Demon Beast Sea Abyss became extremely chaotic.

"But this gray-haired old man is really cunning."

At this moment, Lin Chang'an showed a strange expression. This person really had some skills, as he actually knew this relatively uncommon divination method.

That's all I'm really good at in this area.

"This person is really similar to me. He also entered the world of cultivation from the mortal realm, except that he was a fortune teller in the mortal realm."

Lin Chang'an couldn't help but admire this person's life; he truly loved whatever he did.

He relied on reading people's expressions and demeanor in the mortal world, and he can still use it in the cultivation world.

And yet, this lie has been going on for so many years without being exposed.

"What a pity, the cultivation world will lose such a talent from now on."

Lin Chang'an was also filled with envy for this person's opportunities to attain immortality.

This person was over thirty years old when he happened to encounter a cultivator who had passed away in a secluded cave. The cultivator was a Core Formation cultivator, and more importantly, this cultivator was quite talented.

In less than twenty years, this person relied on a small portion of the resources in his storage bag to establish his foundation. Then, he carefully cultivated in the cultivation world and finally achieved core formation with the help of two core-forming spiritual objects in his storage bag.

Lin Chang'an was envious of the cultivation journey he had taken. He had gone through so many tribulations to achieve Foundation Establishment and Core Formation, but the other man had obtained everything through a single opportunity when he was just a mortal.

There's really no way to compare these people.

However, after forming the Golden Core, the initial opportunity had been almost exhausted, leaving only the tortoise shell and copper coins used for divination.

"The legacy of divination!"

Lin Chang'an frowned slightly as he looked at the tortoise shell and copper coins in his hand.

The art of divination is difficult to learn and master, and it's not as powerful as one might imagine; it also has many drawbacks.

Some high-level cultivators possess strong luck, or have treasures, or supernatural abilities that shield them from the secrets of heaven. These can hinder the success rate of divination and even bring backlash.

"Let's preserve this skill for now. I don't have the energy to study these things right now. The key is to plan the secret realm and find the Nascent Soul artifact."

Immediately, Lin Chang'an took out the Blood Fiend Demon Blade and turned all four of them into nourishment for his magic weapon.

And there was also this giant, dead sea monster.

At this moment, the Green Horned Ox was devouring nearly half of the body. Upon seeing this, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but take out the demon core of this sea beast.

The four of them, all at the mid-stage of Core Formation, dared to rob him; their greatest confidence came from this poison sac.

Unfortunately, they happened to encounter him. If it were any other cultivator, it might have been alright, but few could withstand such a potent poison.

"Master, these are the storage bags for the other three people."

When the sword attendant respectfully prepared to return the storage bag, Lin Chang'an waved his hand and chose to let the sword attendant keep it.

"Be careful when handling the magical treasures and other items in these three storage bags; everything else can be left in plain sight."

"Yes, Master."

Faced with his master's reward, the sword servant couldn't help but smile and respectfully cupped his hands.

She never refused her master's gifts, because in her heart, she herself belonged to her master.

"Three storage bags!"

Meanwhile, the phoenix stared wide-eyed as the sword servant obtained three storage bags, though it had no idea what good things were inside.

But it also contributes.

However, Lin Chang'an then looked at the gray-haired old man's storage bag and pretended to be looking for some treasure.

"I remember when I was searching my memories, this person had a lot of treasures in his storage bag. How come the storage bag is empty now?"

"How is that possible! I clearly left half..."

The phoenix cried out in surprise, and then, halfway through its sentence, it saw its master's meaningful smile and immediately wilted.

The cunning master tricked him.

"Owner."

It thought it was going to get a scolding, but to its surprise, Lin Chang'an smiled and stroked its feathers, giving it a heartfelt reminder:

"Remember in the future, when you find treasures in the storage bags of cultivators like these, be sure to check for any tracking marks beforehand, lest you be caught off guard and end up losing your treasures."

And your petty cleverness is beneath you; you should really learn about human civilization from now on.

Lin Chang'an shook his head. The Phoenix Bird was actually extremely intelligent, but perhaps because it hadn't received systematic training, it only possessed some cleverness.

His intelligence was like that of a teenager. This time, he knew that if he were to be careless in the future, the phoenix bird might secretly conceal the spiritual object again.

He didn't want anything to happen if there were any tracking restrictions.

As the phoenix listened to its master solemnly recounting various methods for destroying evidence and disposing of suspicious items, it nodded its little head repeatedly, humbly learning.

So there's so much to learn about destroying a body and taking spoils of war.

It must be remembered.

The Phoenix Bird's teaching cannot be accomplished overnight; Lin Chang'an instructed the sword attendant to dedicate more effort to its instruction in the future.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Green Horned Ox burped and headed towards Five Dragons Island.

This disturbance did affect my mood, but the experience was still quite good.

What he values ​​most right now is the gray-haired old man surnamed Fan's experience with various celestial phenomena and geographical advantages in the Demon Beast Abyss, rather than the divination inheritance.

This experience, combined with his powerful perception, significantly enhanced his abilities.
