Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 381 The Dance of the Heavenly Demons [Requesting Double Monthly Tickets]

Five Dragon Island.

Although Li Tianmo failed to form his core, he was still a late-stage Foundation Establishment disciple of the Xuan Yin Pavilion.

The wedding celebration was held in his own cave dwelling, and many fellow disciples and like-minded people he had made over the years came to offer their congratulations.

Moreover, the Zhou family daughter she married, although not the daughter of the current clan leader, was also a Foundation Establishment female cultivator, while the Zhou family was a pseudo-Dan family in the Yue Kingdom.

Among the lower-level disciples of Xuan Yin Pavilion, no one would be so blind as to refuse, whether it was Li Tianmo, who was at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage, or the Zhou family, they would all give him face.

The wedding celebration was quite lively for a time.

"Brother Li, congratulations!"

Shen Zhuang came to offer his congratulations with a big smile. Li Tianmo, who had failed to form his core this time, was more composed. When he saw the person who came, he also smiled and cupped his hands.

"Unlike Brother Shen, who married a girl from the Mei family early on and already has two children."

Faced with Li Tianmo's teasing, Shen Zhuang smiled generously, with his wife Mei Ning following behind him.

She was also Mei Ning, the senior sister who participated in the Xuan Yin Pavilion sect competition with me and cultivated at Tianquan Peak for many years.

Now both are Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the two are deeply in love.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Li."

On Li Tianmo's joyous occasion, Zhou Bingxuan also came with a smile to offer her congratulations.

With Zhou Bingxuan's appearance, many people greeted her warmly.

One reason is that the Zhou family is doing well. After all, they have a near-third-tier Xuan Shui Turtle in their homeland, which is enough to keep the family in power for a thousand years as long as nothing unexpected happens.

Both of them have seen the Zhou family prosper in recent years, and I've heard they've been providing resources to support Zhou Bingxuan.

The interactions between cultivators are not just about fighting and killing, but also about human relationships and social interactions.

In particular, most of the cultivators inside the Xuan Yin Pavilion are from the Yue Kingdom, so they naturally help each other when they are outside.

"Junior Sister Zhou, I'm afraid I'll have to address you as Senior Zhou next time we meet."

Li Tianmo sometimes felt a little envious of Zhou Bingxuan, whose family could continuously provide cultivation resources without being a burden.

How can one not be envious?

"Senior Brother Li is joking. Forming the Core is extremely difficult."

Zhou Bingxuan shook her head as she spoke, admitting that she wasn't very confident about achieving the Core Formation stage.

Although the Zhou family is not bad, it is only in the eyes of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators and is not worthy of the attention of Core Formation cultivators.

Li Tianmo's eyes couldn't hide his envy, while Zhou Bingxuan sighed softly. Others only saw the Zhou family's prosperity, but how many people saw the Zhou family's development over hundreds of years?

Over the past few hundred years, how many calamities has the Zhou family experienced?

The Zhou family has come this far over a dozen or twenty generations, while the Li family has only been around for a few generations.
The Xuan Yin Pavilion Master, Fairy Ni Chang, did not attend this wedding celebration; she only sent a congratulatory gift through a messenger.

Lin Chang'an, whom Li Tianmo had been longing for, did not come. Although he was somewhat disappointed, he was still relieved.

The other disciples didn't think anything was wrong either, after all, Core Formation cultivators would spend anywhere from a year and a half to several decades in seclusion.

However, during the joyous celebration, after everyone had left, Li Tianmo spotted a gift among the pile of congratulatory gifts.

"Thank you, Grandfather!"

The gift wasn't expensive, but Li Tianmo still couldn't help but shed tears after seeing it.

……

Under the moonlight, through the octagonal pavilion on Tianquan Peak, one can vaguely see the festive atmosphere in the distance.

Why isn't Fellow Daoist Lin going?

"What's the point of going? To give these younger generation an unrealistic fantasy?"

Inside the octagonal pavilion, Lin Chang'an calmly sipped a cup of spiritual tea, gazing out of the corner of his eye at the festive distance, showing little emotional fluctuation.

Upon seeing this, the Fairy of Rainbow Robes nodded slightly in agreement.

"Yes, that's the kind of creature humans are. Even knowing that there won't be another one, if Fellow Daoist Lin were to appear, it's hard not to have some inappropriate fantasies."

Sometimes, severing worldly ties early and focusing on the path to immortality is a good thing for both oneself and others.

Unrealistic fantasies often lead to disaster.

The Fairy of Rainbow Skirt glanced at Lin Chang'an, a gentle smile appearing on her face. She slowly raised her hand to add tea to Lin Chang'an's cup.

"Fellow Daoist, are you planning to leave for the time being after this trip to the secret realm?"

Faced with the fairy's question, Lin Chang'an didn't feel anything was wrong, and instead nodded slightly as a tacit agreement.

After all, the two had known each other for a long time, and Fairy Ni Chang could tell that Lin Chang'an did not want to join a major power casually.

Especially with the turmoil in the Demon Beast Sea Abyss, the consequences will be far-reaching, and even joining a major power will not bring peace.

And if you manage to walk out of the secret realm alive, who knows if you have any treasures on you?

Therefore, most cultivators, after emerging from the secret realm, would first hide away and secretly digest the treasures.

Just like the Blood Fiend True Man back then, even a renowned late-stage Core Formation cultivator like him needs to do this.

"And what about you, fellow Daoist?"

Lin Chang'an smiled and asked in return, while the fairy in the moonlight appeared exceptionally ethereal. At this moment, she smiled slightly and teased Lin Chang'an:
"Unlike Fellow Daoist Lin, I do not have any cooperation with the Sixth Elder of the Nascent Soul Realm of the Azure Sea Palace, which is known to everyone. Outsiders will only know that I am in seclusion in my cave."

After all, I haven't participated in the competition for this fragment of the secret realm map.

The implication is that Fairy Ni Chang will enter the secret realm, but she will definitely hide her identity.

Although Lin Chang'an was puzzled as to where the other party had obtained a fragment of the secret realm map, he did not ask further, after all, everyone has their own secrets.

"I've also made arrangements for the Xuan Yin Pavilion. If I can't come back, Ru Yu will be in charge of the sect's affairs, along with Xu Lingfeng and a group of Core Formation cultivators."

With the Seven Kingdoms Alliance locked in a defensive posture, the loss of a late-stage Core Formation cultivator in the Xuan Yin Pavilion might not necessarily be a bad thing for them.

The Fairy of Rainbow Garments then spoke softly, even explaining the arrangements for the Yue Kingdom's homeland in great detail.

"If the turmoil in the Demon Beast Sea Abyss has too great an impact, the Xuan Yin Pavilion will first arrange for a Core Formation cultivator to retreat to the Yue Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'an nodded secretly. This Fairy of Rainbow Robes' plan was already quite sound.

The Xuan Yin Pavilion has developed to its current state, and as long as it doesn't offend any Nascent Soul forces, it's not something that can be easily destroyed.

It can only be said that rise and fall are inevitable.

"If Fellow Daoist Ruolin attains the Nascent Soul stage in the future, I hope that you will not forget the century-old friendship of Xuan Yin Pavilion and will take care of Xuan Yin Pavilion to prevent the lineage from being cut off."

Finally, Fairy Ni Chang held up the spirit tea, a rare look of solemnity appearing in her eyes.

Upon seeing this, Lin Chang'an also took a deep breath, picked up the spirit tea, and said in a solemn voice:
"If Fellow Daoist Ni Chang is able to attain the Nascent Soul stage in the future, and I have not heard from you since, I hope you will remember me and offer me three cups of spiritual tea. That would be enough."

After exchanging a glance, the two smiled.

The cultivation world is rife with deceit and treachery; there are very few fellow cultivators who are truly sincere.

Even some close friends who can stand by each other through life and death can turn against each other when faced with certain opportunities.

Even couples who have been loving for hundreds of years can turn against each other due to various circumstances.

Therefore, true feelings are rare in the world of cultivation.

Both sides also exercised restraint.

"Over the years, although this Master Wen still holds the title of Elder of Xuanyin Pavilion, he has been in name only and has been frequently entering and leaving Tongtian Mist Sea."

They clearly also intended to seek refuge, and even the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce was trying to win them over.

Furthermore, with Lin Chang'an's departure, Xuan Yin Pavilion may seem to lose a lot of strength for the time being, but in fact, it may not be a bad thing for Xuan Yin Pavilion. At least it won't stand out too much and be watched by others.

Lin Chang'an was somewhat embarrassed by this, since he had been cultivating on Bibo Island all these years.

This resulted in the clone being frequently offline. In addition, the Xuan Yin Pavilion had almost emptied its coffers to achieve the Core Formation, so the number of times it could refine high-level pills had also decreased significantly.

Ordinary pills can be made by cultivators within the sect, but the effect of this Wen Danshi is not significant.

"By the way, when I went to Haiyuan City to meet the Sixth Elder, I happened to come across the Baoguang Pavilion auction, so I bought two spirit fruits and then asked Fellow Daoist Wen to refine them."

We've only recently heard news about this Fellow Daoist Wen.

Lin Chang'an took out a bottle of mid-grade third-tier pills. These pills were no longer very effective for the sword servant who had already broken through to the mid-stage of Core Formation.

Upon seeing this, Fairy Ni Chang couldn't help but show a hint of joy.

"I was a little worried before. Junior Sister Liu's strength at the peak of the early stage of Core Formation is fine for now, but if it goes on for a long time, she may not be able to suppress Junior Brother Xu."

With Fellow Daoist Lin's elixir, Junior Sister Liu will surely be able to break through soon.

After Lin Chang'an leaves, besides her, Xu Lingfeng will be the only one in the sect at the mid-stage of Core Formation, while the rest will be at the early stage of Core Formation.

Xu Lingfeng's actions were too radical, which was also a concern for her.

However, if Liu Ruyu can break through to the mid-stage of Core Formation, it would be equivalent to having two mid-stage Core Formation cultivators in the sect, which would also be able to suppress Xu Lingfeng.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

"Fellow Taoist, you're welcome."

Previously, the two of them had collected most of the materials for refining pills, but they had not been able to find suitable main ingredients, which is why the materials had been with Lin Chang'an all along.

Now that Lin Chang'an has obtained the elixir, he doesn't need it, but for Xuan Yin Pavilion, it is a strategic resource.

In the future, if anyone encounters a bottleneck that is difficult to overcome, this elixir might even be able to add another mid-stage Core Formation cultivator to the sect.

After receiving the whole bottle containing two pills, Fairy Ni Chang was overjoyed and didn't forget to give the other half of the materials, spirit stones, to Lin Chang'an.

The feelings between the two parties are feelings, and each matter is a separate issue.

If you take advantage of friendship to get something for free, that friendship will eventually fade away.

"Today, Fellow Daoist Lin has resolved a major matter for Ni Chang. Taking advantage of the beautiful night, Ni Chang will perform a dance for you."

Perhaps it was to settle a matter on their minds, or perhaps the fate of both sides after entering the secret realm was uncertain.

Under the moonlight, this usually aloof fairy revealed her stunningly beautiful face, her silk ribbons swaying and dancing outside the pavilion.

The silver rope and golden bell on her wrist emitted heavenly sounds, ethereal and clear.

At this moment, the fairy in a long blue and white palace dress danced gracefully, like an ethereal fairy from a painting.

As Lin Chang'an sat in the pavilion admiring the beautiful scenery, the sword attendant who came out of the cave also saw this scene.

A hint of envy flickered in the depths of her heterochromatic eyes.

The green-horned ox in the pool raised its head, looked at the dance music with a sneer, and showed a bored expression. Only this light and melodious music made it feel comfortable.

However, as the Six Desires Demon Art was unleashed, one's mind and spirit were stirred, and one was unconsciously drawn into an indescribable state.

This feeling is like an insight, but it's missing a certain meaning.

After the dance ended, the fairy in the moonlight was covered in sweat and her face was pale, clearly showing that she had exhausted herself.

Lin Chang'an and the sword attendant were so engrossed in the experience that they seemed to feel their mental state being elevated.

After a long while, Lin Chang'an finally let out a long breath and looked at the exhausted Fairy Ni Chang with gratitude.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ni Chang."

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you are too kind. Although we have each taken what we needed over the years, we still cannot forget some of the kindnesses we have received."

The Fairy of Rainbows walked wearily into the octagonal pavilion. Looking at Lin Chang'an, who was dressed in white and had a handsome appearance, her lips trembled slightly as if she was about to have an impulse.

But she quickly suppressed it, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her eyes.

The fairy in the rainbow robes looked at him with a desire to devour him, but how could she escape the keen senses of Lin Chang'an?

This made Lin Chang'an frown. Logically speaking, this Fairy of Rainbow Robes wouldn't do this.

"Fellow Daoist, what was that dance just now?"

"This dance is the Heavenly Demon Dance, a secret technique within the Six Desires Demonic Arts. It can induce cultivators to unleash their desires to the fullest extent, reaching their most sensitive state, thereby entering a wondrous realm second only to the enlightenment of oneness with heaven and man..."

After listening to Fairy Ni Chang'an's explanation, Lin Chang'an finally understood.

No wonder he felt so strange just now, it was just like a state of enlightenment, but he always felt that something was missing.

After all, one is based on personal experience, while the other is controlled by human intervention, so naturally, the two will be somewhat different.

However, at that very moment, Fairy Ni Chang looked at the sword servant who was in a state of enlightenment at the entrance of her cave and couldn't help but show a look of envy.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu's talent is truly terrifying; he has actually been in a state of enlightenment for so long."

Sure enough, the sword servant's eyes were vacant, yet a faint light seemed to flicker within them. He was lost in thought, entering a state of enlightenment.

Just then, a snoring sound came from inside the pool. The Green Horned Ox was lying in the pool, fast asleep.

A mid-stage Tier 3 demon can fall asleep after a dance?

It is clearly a state of enlightenment.

This left Lin Chang'an speechless for a moment; he had just felt that he was almost not quite there yet when it came to getting into that state.

What do you two mean by this?!
Is this mocking his lack of comprehension?
"Fellow Daoist, your spirit pet has a simple and honest nature, and this action is in accordance with the will of heaven and earth."

The fairy in the rainbow dress seemed to have noticed something as well, and a smile appeared on her lips as she couldn't help but speak.

Lin Chang'an was speechless. In fact, the Phoenix Bird, who was also inside the cave and saw this scene through the barrier, also widened its eyes.

What does that mean? Does it mean that cunning people and birds are both poor at understanding?
No, it should be said that this dance music is not so perfect. The phoenix is ​​cunning, not that it lacks understanding.

It can only be said that under this man-made secret technique, the purer one's mind, the easier it is to enter a higher realm.

"Gudong!"

The sound of softly swallowing tea rang out, and Fairy Ni Chang's face flushed slightly as she suppressed her desires.

This secret technique is not so easy to activate, and it will also arouse one's desires. Facing Lin Chang'an, a close friend, and with such a tempting sight to behold.

Male and female cultivators are actually the same; it would be a lie to say they are unmoved by beautiful women they admire.

"Fellow Daoist Ni Chang, it seems this secret technique is not so easy after all."

Although Lin Chang'an still savored the memory of the fairy dancing the Heavenly Demon Dance, seeing the fairy in this state, he could roughly guess what had happened.

She then reached out and grasped the pair of warm, jade-like hands. The Fairy of Rainbow Garments trembled instinctively, and the next moment, a surge of pure Xuan Tian magic power swept over her.

This slowly calmed the desires in Fairy Ni Chang's heart, but the sight of this figure still left a deep impression on her.

Desire is desire, and one's own heart is heart; these are two different things.

At the same time, Lin Chang'an was secretly amazed; this Six Desires Demonic Art was truly terrifying.

It actually possesses such supernatural powers; it truly deserves the title of the number one demonic art.

Come to think of it, in the midst of battle, desires can grow unknowingly. And once you become greedy, the dangers you face will only increase.

This technique can even find a cultivator's mental weakness, causing the inner demons to backfire again.
