Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 402 Nascent Soul Divine Sense, Sword Servant in Danger! [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Two months later.

With the introduction of the local chamber of commerce, the cultivator who possessed the spiritual herbs he needed arranged to meet in the market.

Hearing this news surprised Lin Chang'an; it seemed the other party had come with good intentions.

Although such insistence on face-to-face transactions rather than through chambers of commerce is often driven by ulterior motives, it carries significant risks.

After some thought, Lin Chang'an roughly guessed the other party's intentions.

"They've got their eyes on these scarce resources I have and want to take them all at once."

Putting aside any ill intentions, this was the only thing Lin Chang'an could think of.

The two parties agreed to meet at the restaurant on this day.

Lin Chang'an arrived alone once again, while the sword attendant was in seclusion cultivating.

It seems that the sword servant had some enlightenment during his last visit to the secret realm, as his cultivation has progressed rapidly in recent times. He will probably be able to break through to the late stage of Core Formation soon.

"If the sword servant can break through to the late stage of Core Formation within the next few years, that will be quite a big deal if word gets out."

A cultivator in the late stage of Core Formation around 170 years old, barring unforeseen circumstances, will inevitably be able to attempt Nascent Soul formation by the time they are over 200 years old.

Leaving aside the success rate of Nascent Soul formation, in the history of the cultivation world, cultivators who can form a Nascent Soul before the age of three hundred are all called geniuses.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, advancing to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm shouldn't be a problem in the future. There's even a chance to glimpse the late-stage Nascent Soul realm cultivators.

"However, the sword servant's age and spiritual body must be kept secret, as such talent can easily lead to trouble."

This reminded Lin Chang'an of the prodigy of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, who became a Nascent Soul cultivator at the age of over two hundred and was once unparalleled in his glory.

As a result, he was assassinated sixty years ago, which clearly shows that some people were wary of his potential.

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator cannot avoid being ambushed, let alone the sword attendant and him who are still Core Formation cultivators.

……

Inside a private room at a restaurant.

As Lin Chang'an entered, there was already a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator with gray hair in the private room. Upon seeing him, the cultivator immediately smiled and stood up to greet him.

"Master Xiao, I have long admired your name. My surname is Cheng, and I am a manager of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect."

This monk Cheng was quite frank; he revealed his background as soon as they met.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'an smiled calmly and cupped his hands, saying, "So it's Fellow Daoist Cheng. It seems that this Chamber of Commerce has some connection with your sect."

The cultivator surnamed Cheng did not hide this fact, and after smiling and inviting him to sit down, he began to introduce himself.

"To be honest, the family in this chamber of commerce received favors from my clan in the past, and we have maintained good relations over the years. Of course, we have no ill intentions."

"I knew you urgently needed this spiritual herb, and although I was interested, the merchant guild insisted on respecting your opinion. If you are unwilling, I naturally won't break the rules."

Their attitude was sincere, but their intentions were clear: they wanted the scarce resources you possessed.

This made Lin Chang'an nod in satisfaction. He had thought about this day coming after revealing his identity.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, please. This is a spiritual material unique to our Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. It is extremely rare, not only outside the sect but also within the sect itself."

The monk Cheng gestured with a polite smile, and Lin Chang'an was somewhat taken aback by the colorful and exquisite dishes on the table.

The table was laden with spiritual dishes, all made from a variety of colorful spiritual insects, along with some rare spiritual ingredients that grew alongside these insects.

A glass of wine was poured in front of him, and the other person greeted him with a warm smile and clasped their hands in a gesture of respect:

"This is our sect's Hundred Poisons Wine, brewed from a hundred kinds of poisonous insects. It has a remarkable effect on expanding meridians and clearing blockages in the body."

Cultivators who practice yin-cold techniques, especially demonic techniques, will generally have some stagnation in their bodies.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chang'an smiled, picked up the wine and drank it all in one gulp, then picked up the spiritual dish and began to eat.

“I have seen Fellow Daoist Cheng’s sincerity, and I do have some resources on hand.”

The other party was very sincere, so Lin Chang'an didn't mind coming here to expand his network first.

After all, he came here seeking an opportunity to form his Nascent Soul, not to be a lone wolf.

"Alright, fellow Daoist, rest assured. You should have heard about the reputation of my Ten Thousand Poisons Sect in recent years. Although we dare not call ourselves a righteous sect, we are not the kind of family that stabs people in the back like the Sima family."

Good heavens, the other party was clearly full of contempt when they mentioned the Sima clan.

Since the Sima clan betrayed the Great Qian Dynasty, their reputation has become utterly infamous and they have been despised and cursed by countless people.

Lin Chang'an was both amused and exasperated, but he could understand.

Although betrayal is commonplace in the demonic path, you can't say that demonic cultivators don't appreciate those cultivators of noble character.

Moreover, the Sima clan acted in a truly despicable manner. When the Daqian Dynasty was in crisis, the Sima clan reached out to the government and even formed a marriage alliance, providing support on multiple occasions.

The fact that even heretical and demonic cultivators despise them shows just how outrageous the Sima clan has been.

"I naturally trust your clan."

Lin Chang'an cupped his hands and nodded with a smile. Although it wasn't a righteous sect, who didn't run some business associations?

If you rely on forceful means in everything, you might gain an advantage temporarily, but you can't keep doing so forever.

The so-called comments on the demonic path, the evil path, and the righteous path are merely based on the methods of cultivation. The righteous path is not necessarily upright and honorable, and the demonic path is not necessarily so despicable.

This is a principle that even children in the cultivation world understand.

The two then chatted like old friends who hadn't seen each other for years, sharing interesting stories about the cultivation world.

The other party learned about the customs and culture of the distant Demon Beast Sea Abyss from Lin Chang'an, and Lin Chang'an also learned about many things in the Southern Region from the other party.

Both sides were satisfied, since much of the information they gathered on their own was superficial; only discussions between fellow cultivators revealed the true perspectives and knowledge that those at the same level could gain.

However, Lin Chang'an was not stupid. Although the Demon Beast Sea Abyss was extremely far away, even large merchant ships needed several years to travel back and forth.

But that doesn't mean that these deeply rooted sects, which have been established for thousands of years, really know nothing about it.

It was obvious that the other party was also testing him to see if he was really an outsider cultivator from the Demon Beast Sea Abyss.

“Fellow Daoist, our sect can take all of your resources. Please feel free to ask for anything you need. You should know that among the four major powers, our Ten Thousand Poisons Sect has the richest supply of spiritual herbs and fruits.”

As a sect renowned for raising poisonous insects, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect naturally has the right to be proud.

"Fellow Daoist, you're too kind. Let's trade the spirit herbs we agreed on beforehand."

Although the promises were grand, Lin Chang'an still wanted to get what he needed.

Upon hearing this, the other party was taken aback at first, then slapped his forehead and laughed loudly, "Brother Xiao, look at my memory! I was having such a good time chatting with you that I almost forgot about the important matter."

"Brother Cheng, you're too kind."

After a brief exchange, the two became acquainted.

The other party addressed him as "brother" because he had a higher cultivation level, while the other party was only at the mid-stage of Core Formation.

Lin Chang'an addressed the other party as "brother" because the other party was older.

"Brother Xiao, please take a look."

The other party took out two jade boxes and slowly opened them with a meaningful smile.

He saw that both jade boxes contained the spiritual herbs he needed, but one was less than a thousand years old, while the other was clearly about twelve hundred years old.

"Brother Xiao is such a talented person that he has come all this way. He must be determined to seek the path of the Nascent Soul. Our sect's Supreme Elder is the only fourth-level alchemist among the four major powers."

"The number of Nascent Soul Pills refined by our Supreme Elder is more than two handfuls, if not dozens."

Lin Chang'an was somewhat surprised by the other party's attempt to win him over, but upon closer examination, it wasn't entirely unexpected.

The biggest advantage of outsiders like him is that they have no entanglements, and the sect won't cause any trouble by recruiting them.

However, there are too many people who want to join such a high-ranking Nascent Soul sect, and the fact that the other party actually came to recruit him personally made Lin Chang'an narrow his eyes.

"Brother Cheng, let's not beat around the bush. I came here to find a safe place to cultivate and then seek out a Nascent Soul Spiritual Object."

This cultivator surnamed Cheng seemed to realize that he was being too eager, or perhaps it was all a deliberate display of his thirst for talent.

The monk Cheng, looking ashamed, slapped his forehead and then cupped his hands in greeting, saying:
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, rest assured, it's actually quite simple. The spiritual herbs and fruits you purchased earlier must belong to an alchemist, and you also vaguely revealed the corpse puppet before..."

This cultivator, Cheng, wore an awkward yet sincere smile, as if he were saying with bated breath that Core Formation cultivators were easy to find, but cultivators with skills were hard to come by.

The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect has abundant spiritual herbs. Although they have no shortage of people who can refine pills, third-level pill refiners are a rare commodity, and there are very few of them in the entire sect.

More importantly, they know how to refine corpses!
The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect has always been at odds with Corpse Valley, and the Corpse Puppet can be considered a strategic resource in a certain sense.

"I see. It seems you've taken a liking to my corpse puppet."

Lin Chang'an wasn't too surprised, since the information he had deliberately revealed before naturally represented his value.

This Corpse Puppet Technique is not simply corpse refining, but a combination of corpse refining and puppetry.

This is because he obtained the inheritance of the Yin Soul Sect and, together with the ancestral techniques of the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect, he completed this skill.

In the cultivation world, besides spirit pets, the business of corpse puppets is very popular, far more so than puppets.

After all, the puppets need maintenance after each battle, and some important parts may even be lost, which is another big expense.

But corpse puppets are different. They can recover by consuming essence and blood, and they can be thrown into spiritual places with rich yin energy. They can also recover by absorbing the essence and blood of enemies in battle, and they even have the possibility of advancing.

Aside from the risk of backlash, this thing is far more cost-effective than a puppet.

"Would you like to join your sect!?"

Lin Chang'an also showed a hesitant expression, but the cultivator surnamed Cheng, seeing that there was a chance, immediately perked up and nodded repeatedly, saying:
"Furthermore, you must be cultivating a technique of the Yin and Cold type, right? Then you must know about another Supreme Elder of our sect."

When the Supreme Elder was mentioned, the cultivator surnamed Cheng showed pride, but even more so embarrassment and resentment at the outsiders' plot to harm their Supreme Elder.

"Could it be True Monarch Ice Butterfly?"

Lin Chang'an had naturally heard about it, but he pretended not to know the details.

This Ice Butterfly True Monarch is none other than the renowned Nascent Soul prodigy whose core essence was damaged by a sneak attack.

Legend has it that this person was born with a spiritual body and obtained an ancient ice silkworm as his natal spirit Gu. When he was infant form, he broke out of his cocoon and became a butterfly, and became famous in one fell swoop, known as the Ice Butterfly True Lord.

His mastery of cold-based techniques allowed him to withstand attacks from mid-Nascent Soul cultivators even in the early Nascent Soul stage.

The temptation from the other party is obvious: can a cold and yin-type cultivation technique be as powerful as that of a Nascent Soul cultivator?
A lot of experience, even a little guidance from a Nascent Soul cultivator, is very important.

"The cold and yin-type cultivation techniques can certainly confirm my current identity, while the corpse puppet is an unexpected bonus."

Lin Chang'an's eyes flickered; many of the materials needed to refine the corpse puppet were helpful for body tempering.

Although most of these materials are highly poisonous and cold in nature, they are a great tonic for him.

Therefore, the other party's attempt to entice him with the experience of being guided by a Nascent Soul True Monarch who also cultivated yin-cold techniques was less beneficial than the benefits he could gain from the corpse puppet.

However, he also vaguely deduced that the situation of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect was not good. The Grand Elder was nearing the end of his lifespan, and the newly promoted Ice Butterfly True Monarch was ambushed and his foundation was damaged.

"Brother Cheng, this matter is of great importance, please allow me some time to consider it."

"Of course, of course, let's talk about the deal first."

This cultivator surnamed Cheng was indeed a skilled one; during our conversation, he didn't give off the arrogant feeling one would expect from a Nascent Soul sect.

Moreover, this person is extremely adept at interpersonal relationships; the other portion of the 1200-year-old spiritual herb was not taken back even though he did not agree.

In the end, Lin Chang'an traded the 1,200-year-old spiritual herb for a price that was half a percent higher than the market price.

One reason is the rarity of such spiritual herbs; even at this price, they wouldn't be easily found elsewhere.

The other person also seemed to have sensed the other party's good intentions.

When you first arrive, sometimes you might suffer a small loss to expand your network, but in the long run, it may not be a loss.

……

Upon returning to his cave, Lin Chang'an saw that the sword attendant was still in seclusion, so he left a communication jade talisman and also returned to his cave to cultivate in seclusion.

"Now I've finally gathered all the materials, so I can refine the spiritual liquid in preparation for breaking through the bottleneck of my divine sense."

Inside the cave, a raging fire burns beneath a three-legged alchemy furnace.

At this moment, Lin Chang'an solemnly placed the prepared pills into the container.

"Fellow Daoist, is the method you described truly feasible?"

"Don't worry, your spiritual sense far surpasses that of a late-stage Core Formation cultivator. The difference between you and the Nascent Soul stage is not quantity but quality. It's not impossible to achieve a qualitative change through quantity."

This was commonplace in ancient times.

The scroll slowly unfurled, and a red-clad phantom appeared inside the cave. At this moment, it was comfortably sprawled on the scroll with its eyes half-closed, lazily enjoying the nourishment of the Xuan Tian magic power.

The nourishment from Xuan Tian's magical power over the years has finally solidified her remnant soul considerably, restoring it to the strength it had when they first met.

"Once your divine sense truly breaks through to the Nascent Soul Realm, you will be able to refine those few Nascent Soul-level magic treasures you have hidden away. With your divine soul abilities, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would suffer a great loss if they were careless."

Of course, don't really think you can compare to a Nascent Soul cultivator. You can only say that you possess some of the attack methods of a Nascent Soul cultivator, but there is still a gap between you and a true Nascent Soul cultivator.

Hearing the other party's reminder, Lin Chang'an nodded calmly. He wasn't stupid, and he wouldn't go out of his way to provoke a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Alright, the elixir is almost ready. Fellow Daoist, you should head back now."

"you……"

Before he could finish speaking, the scroll was instantly manipulated by Lin Chang'an to take in the remnant soul. As he rolled it up, he also kindly affixed more than a dozen sealing talismans.

Finally, the scroll floated and drifted to another altar in the cave, which was protected by array formations.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't be offended. After all, breakthrough is a matter of great importance and cannot be taken lightly. Fellow Daoist, you should get some sleep first."

Lin Chang'an felt no remorse whatsoever. After all, breakthroughs are of paramount importance in the cultivation world, and generally, only those with utmost trust are allowed to enter.

Even among many masters and disciples, and Daoist couples, there is still a sense of wariness.

"The spiritual liquid has finally been refined."

As the fire in the alchemy furnace slowly dissipated, the lid was lifted, and a pool of liquid radiating spiritual light flowed out and floated in the air.

This time, he was not refining a certain kind of pill, but rather a spiritual liquid made primarily from Yin Spirit Fruit, incorporating eight auxiliary medicinal herbs.

This also maximizes the medicinal effects of the Yinling Fruit.

"Next, I will go into seclusion to break through the barrier of divine sense!"

Lin Chang'an took a deep breath and gulped down the scalding spiritual liquid. Given his current physical strength, the temperature had absolutely no effect. ...

The Golden Crow falls in the west and the Jade Rabbit rises in the east.

Lin Chang'an never expected that his seclusion would last for a whole year.

This breakthrough in the bottleneck of spiritual consciousness, a situation where quantity leads to quality, felt very strange to him inside the cave.

It's a feeling that comes from the soul, a feeling of comfort in every pore.

From the beginning, his divine sense gradually expanded, reaching seventy miles, eighty miles... ninety-eight miles, and approaching one hundred miles, when it seemed to have reached the limit of his divine sense.

However, this qualitative change did not stop. The divine sense probing within a hundred miles began to become more refined from the initial crudeness.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, a buzzing sound came from the depths of the soul, and an invisible ripple of comfort spread out within the cave.

"This is the divine sense of a Nascent Soul cultivator!"

Inside the cave, Lin Chang'an, who was meditating cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes, a flash of spiritual light appearing in them.

It was merely a breakthrough in spiritual awareness, yet I could clearly feel the changes within myself.

This seemingly transcendent feeling made Lin Chang'an feel as if it were not real.

"It seems I see this world more clearly now."

Looking at his own hands, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but show a look of amazement. Just then, a sound came from the scroll inside the barrier in the distance.

"The reason you feel this way is because you haven't reached the Nascent Soul Realm yet."

As his divine sense broke through, Lin Chang'an raised his hand and released the restriction.

The golden sealing talisman fell off, and after the scroll was unrolled, the remnant soul in red slowly floated out, but there was still a clear sense of discomfort from the seal.

"How is it? Don't you feel that the world is clearer now? It's like you've suddenly had an epiphany and can see the world clearly, even though you used to have a hazy view of it."

The other person was clearly joking, but Lin Chang'an nodded in agreement after hearing it.

"Indeed, so this is how a Nascent Soul cultivator perceives the world."

There seemed to be an extraordinary quality to it, which made Lin Chang'an both amused and exasperated. He had only broken through his spiritual consciousness, not become an immortal.

However, this only made him yearn for the Nascent Soul even more.

However, how could a cultivator like Lin Chang'an, who rose step by step from a mortal to an ancient being like the remnant soul in red robes, possibly understand this?

The remnant soul in red robes still seemed amused, teasingly saying, "Release your Phoenix Cry Bird and see what's different about the attack of a late-stage Golden Core demon beast."

The other party clearly knew this, but Lin Chang'an patted the spirit beast pouch, and the Phoenix Bird transformed into golden light and emerged.

"Master, you've finally decided to let me out."

The phoenix that had just emerged began to grumble, but Lin Chang'an chuckled and teased it:

"Attack me now, and remember to use your full speed. I want to see."

Although the phoenix was somewhat puzzled after hearing this, it was not about to let this good opportunity slip by.

Suddenly, a cunning glint flashed in the golden bird's eyes, and its body instantly transformed into a golden light to launch a sneak attack.

However, at this moment, Lin Chang'an's pupils shrank. Under his divine sense, he could clearly see the cunning and excited look in the Phoenix's eyes as it flapped its wings and attacked the storage bag at his waist.

The phoenix was clearly eyeing the treasures in his storage bag.

"No! This feeling is as if time itself has slowed down, and I can see the Phoenix Bird's movements clearly."

With the help of his divine sense, he could clearly see every feather of the phoenix, and even its cunning eyes.

Just as Lin Chang'an was about to react, a strange sensation suddenly came over him, making him look down in surprise.

My body seemed to slow down, or rather, my soul was catching up, but my body wasn't.

Swish!
Golden light shimmered, and the phoenix excitedly stared at its master's storage bag, only to miss it at the last moment.

This left the Phoenix Bird puzzled, but Lin Chang'an seemed to have figured something out and excitedly said, "Come on, if you can get the storage bag, I'll give you a hundred high-grade spirit stones."

"Master, you said it yourself, and I just encountered it. This time I will go all out."

Upon hearing that there would be a spirit stone reward, the phoenix was incredibly excited.

However, with each subsequent movement, the golden light transformed from the phoenix bird grazed past Lin Chang'an's clothes.

Lin Chang'an seemed to be able to dodge every move by chance, or rather, by controlling the perfect position.

After a few short attempts, the phoenix seemed to sense something and immediately glared at it with an angry expression.

"Master, you tricked me!"

However, the next moment, after ten high-grade spirit stones flew over, the Phoenix Bird widened its eyes and immediately let out an excited cry.

"Thank you, Master."

Seeing the Phoenix Bird excitedly clutching the spirit stone, Lin Chang'an shook his head, but he finally understood what was going on.

"So, now you have a better understanding of Nascent Soul cultivators, right?"

The mocking voice of the red-clad remnant soul echoed, causing Lin Chang'an to nod helplessly, having to admit that he had been somewhat ignorant before.

"So this is the world of Nascent Soul cultivators."

What appeared to be slow motion was actually the speed of a Core Formation cultivator, which was too slow under the divine sense of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"No wonder there's a saying in the cultivation world: all those below the Nascent Soul stage are ants. I finally understand it now."

This is something that can only be understood through personal experience. Lin Chang'an understood that if he had really faced a Nascent Soul cultivator before, it would have been like a child fighting a strong adult.

Every move you make will be clearly seen.

The Phoenix Bird was fast enough, but under the Nascent Soul's divine sense, it could only be described as "not bad."

He had just managed to dodge it every time before, not because he was deliberately showing off, but because his body couldn't keep up, and he could only dodge it like this even with all his strength.

This shows that the Phoenix Bird is also extremely fast.

"So this is what a Nascent Soul cultivator is like!"

After taking a deep breath, Lin Chang'an felt the terrifying power of divine sense.

He could clearly perceive everything within a hundred miles; even the escape light of a Core Formation cultivator appeared in slow motion in his eyes, and he could see it clearly.

Now, after refining several Nascent Soul treasures, he finally had a chance to escape from the hands of Nascent Soul cultivators.

That was pure daydreaming before.

"This is just the beginning. Pay attention to how you explore within a hundred miles. Doesn't it become less thorough the further you go than when you're close?"

Under the guidance of the remnant soul in red, Lin Chang'an's expression turned solemn as he sensed it, and indeed it was true!
Within a radius of thirty miles, he could clearly perceive the appearance of insects in the trees, the texture of leaves on the ground, and even a speck of dust.

However, as the distance increases, it becomes like looking at something in the distance, naturally not as clear as when you are up close.

When you reach a distance of a hundred miles, your divine sense can only detect a general situation.

"This is how it is when you first break through to the Nascent Soul stage. As your cultivation and divine sense gradually increase, the range that your divine sense can probe will become clearer and clearer..."

A Nascent Soul cultivator's divine sense can detect objects within a hundred miles, and as their cultivation level increases, they can detect objects up to about one hundred and fifty miles.

A person's spiritual sense can travel over two hundred miles in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and over three hundred miles in the late-stage.

"Next, I will make the most of my current Nascent Soul level divine sense and be able to refine and control these Nascent Soul level treasures."

Immediately after breaking through, Lin Chang'an's first thought was to refine these treasures.

After all, the greatest value of treasures lies in their ability to be transformed into power.

He slowly took out three treasures—the Fire-Separating Sword of the Crimson Fire Old Monster, the Buddha Light Relic obtained in the secret realm, and the Demon-Subduing Pestle—and began to refine them.

Since the Vajra Pestle is incomplete, it is relatively easier to perform the initial consecration.

Of course, he didn't forget about the Ice Lotus Cold Flame, no! It should be called the Lotus Seed Cold Flame.

His current Nascent Soul realm divine sense is equivalent to a Nascent Soul cultivator refining a treasure.

Of course, these treasures can only be used as a last resort, since he has only broken through in terms of spiritual sense, and his magical power has not yet caught up.

Even with his abundant magical power, a treasure at the Nascent Soul level can only offer the advantage of being used a couple more times.

……

Time flies. Since he broke through his spiritual barrier in seclusion and began refining treasures, another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

【Lifespan: 287/874】

[Realm Level: Late Golden Core (61/100)]

In the first year, I focused most of my energy on breaking through my spiritual sense, and in the second year, I devoted myself to refining treasures. As a result, my cultivation level fell slightly behind and only improved a little.

Although his cultivation progressed slowly, the increase in combat power he gained made it all worthwhile for Lin Chang'an.

"Both the Vajra Pestle and the Buddha Relic have completed their initial refinement, and even the refining speed of the Frost Flame has obviously increased a lot. As expected, Nascent Soul level treasures still need to be refined by Nascent Soul cultivators."

Lin Chang'an, inside the cave, looked at the two treasures in front of him and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

The reason he prioritized refining these two magical treasures was because the Southern Region was full of either demonic cultivators or unorthodox practitioners.

Naturally, these Buddhist treasures offer better value for money.

"However, he is not a Nascent Soul cultivator yet."

Lin Chang'an sighed softly. If a Nascent Soul cultivator had used their own Nascent Soul to refine these magic treasures, they probably would have finished long ago. It wouldn't have been as difficult for him as it was.

As for the Blazing Fire Sword, he was about to refine it a little before making a decision when suddenly the communication jade talisman in his pocket started flashing.

"This is Ling'er, she's in danger!"

Lin Chang'an, who had just broken through to a high mood, frowned and then revealed a hint of anger when he saw the communication jade talisman.

"court death!"

At this moment, Lin Chang'an had no mind to continue refining the magic weapon. He directly put away all his treasures and put the Phoenix Bird into the spirit beast bag.

After packing almost everything of value into the cave, it transformed into a streak of light and headed straight for its destination.

Given the sword servant's current cultivation level, the fact that he could send a distress signal clearly indicates that he is in considerable trouble.

He was mentally prepared; if things didn't work out, he could just leave.

The Southern Region is a vast land, and it's not just this one area.

Anyway, the so-called Nascent Soul Spiritual Object is still a long way off, while the Sword Servant is related to his path of cultivation, so he can tell which is more important.

……

The Demon Abyss Forest.

Due to the influence of demonic energy, malevolent energy, turbid energy, and other foul odors, this place is perpetually shrouded in a gray haze.

Even under the blazing sun, all you see here is a dark, gloomy sun, giving you a feeling of being in purgatory.

"Rat!"

Hiding in a valley, the swordswoman's arm was injured and bleeding, but her heterochromatic eyes were coldly staring outside.

A demonic dragon at the late stage of the third tier roared madly, its body covered in blood, the injuries clearly caused by the sword light.

Demonized monsters are generally three times stronger than those of the same level.

Not to mention that this is a dragon, which is known for its strength among monsters.

Moreover, the enemy is not just this one demonic creature.

In the distance, two figures watched this scene with lingering fear and amazement.

"Senior sister, we owe you a lot. Otherwise, it would have been really troublesome for us to encounter this monster."

"Don't worry, junior brother. This person is just a rogue cultivator. After we both suffer heavy losses, all the demonic materials will fall into our hands. Also, this rogue cultivator is said to be an outsider, and he has a method of refining corpses."

As she spoke, this alluring senior sister's smile concealed a dangerous venom.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister. If we capture this person and extract information about this corpse-refining technique, it will be a great achievement when we return to the sect."

"Hehe, not bad! But I want to torture this wretched maid myself!"

The glamorous senior sister's smile now revealed a ruthless edge, as a gruesome wound was clearly visible on her chest.

The parts that were usually alluring were now raw and bleeding. Her body, which she had always been proud of, was so badly damaged, and she was naturally filled with rage.

Meanwhile, the junior brother beside him was emaciated with dark circles under his eyes, yet he couldn't help but secretly swallow his saliva as he looked at the tempting white flesh.

No! If this continues, I'm afraid I'll really be drained dry.

However, his gaze could not escape, which made the beautiful senior sister beside him show a hint of disdain.

Even with such alluring and soul-stirring beauty, you lack even this much self-control; you're utterly useless.

With her beauty, she should find a Nascent Soul cultivator in the future, not this good-for-nothing.

However, this piece of trash is still useful for now. We'll deal with it after we finish this job and go back to the sect to collect our reward.

……

However, the two were unaware that a pair of eyes were coldly watching all of this from afar.

"It's this girl with dragon blood!"

The girl frowned, naturally noticing the sword servant trapped deep in the valley in the distance.

"Dragon bloodline, and the awakened divine power is lightning, not bad, it's just right to counter demons."

As she observed further, her gaze became increasingly amazed; this girl had surprised her in quite a few ways.

He has such talent in swordsmanship.

"somebody is coming!"

She was about to help when she suddenly sensed something and her expression turned serious.
