Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 403 Palace Master Mingyue Mingyue [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

The Demon Abyss Forest.

The demonic dragon raged wildly in the valley, while the sword servant possessed a trump card, the Fire Pearl.

But she knew perfectly well that there were still rats outside, and if she scared these two away, it would inevitably cause a lot of trouble in the future.

After all, a Core Formation cultivator who possesses such a treasure must be incredibly valuable.

She naturally didn't want to cause her master too much trouble.

"What a cunning and ruthless servant girl! Her methods are so sharp!"

Hiding in the valley, watching the late-stage third-tier demonic dragon not only fail to capture the sword servant but also get beaten up and covered in wounds, the beautiful senior sister hiding in the shadows couldn't help but show a look of shock.

But this was immediately followed by a jealous, cold laugh.

"Heh heh, this pretty face, I'm going to turn this lowly servant into an ugly, reanimated corpse!"

Just as the beautiful senior sister revealed a vengeful smile, a chilling voice suddenly rang out.

"Who are you going to turn into a zombie?!"

Before the person even arrived, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended.

In that instant, terror filled the faces of the two men. The skinny junior brother was so frightened that he was speechless, his mouth trembling and unable to utter a single word.

The beautiful senior sister, however, exclaimed in horror, "A...a Nascent Soul cultivator!"

"Run!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the beautiful senior sister fled backwards in an instant, and her warning was not well-intentioned.

Instead, she believed that she could definitely escape faster than her junior brother, but if her junior brother just stayed here to wait for death, wouldn't that mean she would have to face a Nascent Soul cultivator alone?

Therefore, if this junior brother escapes with her, it might buy her some time.

However, just as she transformed into a streak of light and fled backward, having only traveled a hundred feet, a loud bang resounded.

A black-clad figure exuding a terrifying and chilling aura appeared, his hand already firmly gripping the neck of the beautiful female cultivator.

"Senior...Senior, spare...spare my life..."

The beautiful female cultivator's pupils were filled with endless fear. When she saw the figure, she was so frightened that she lost all will to fight.

"Please forgive me, Senior Sister, I'll be taking my leave now!"

Who would have thought that her junior brother, whom she had always looked down upon, would be so terrified, but at the crucial moment, he decisively fled.

It turns out that this junior brother was always pretending. In order to please this senior sister, he was willing to sacrifice himself to get some cultivation resources.

Now that he's encountered a Nascent Soul cultivator, this junior brother is also taking a gamble.

If you escape quickly, you will inevitably incur the wrath of a Nascent Soul cultivator. If you stay put, you might still have a chance.

"Oh! There's another cunning one."

The terrifying divine power of a Nascent Soul cultivator emanated from behind, causing the gaunt cultivator to show panic.

"No, I have to escape, even if it means burning my life essence!"

At the critical moment of life and death, his pale and thin cheeks suddenly flushed red, clearly indicating that he had begun to burn his essence and blood, and the speed increased instantly.

In order to buy himself a chance to survive, he even released his refined corpse without hesitation.

A third-stage early-stage necromancer appeared amidst a roar.

"Senior, spare my life! I am but a nobody..."

As for revealing his background and exposing his Nascent Soul stage backing, he never even considered it.

This thing might be useful to cultivators of the same level, but it's undoubtedly a threat to Nascent Soul level monsters. They can kill two people with a wave of their hand, so why would they need to worry about the people behind you?

Therefore, his panicked escape, without revealing his home address, actually gave him a chance.

However, Lin Chang'an, who was in the distance, had a cold glint in his eyes. He looked at the cultivator who had turned into a streak of blood and fled and sneered.

"You think you can leave? Do you think you can?"

In an instant, the gaunt cultivator felt dizzy and disoriented, and the next moment he saw a terrifyingly huge human figure in his sea of ​​consciousness.

This is the manifestation of a Nascent Soul cultivator's divine consciousness!
The terrifying figure filled him with dread. Before he could utter a word, a piercing buzzing sound suddenly resounded within his mind.

Supernatural Power: Soul-Hooking Mystic Sound

Everything that happens within the sea of ​​consciousness appears to the outside world in the blink of an eye.

The gaunt cultivator outside, under the attack of the Nascent Soul cultivator's divine sense, instantly went dazed, clearly suffering severe damage to his soul and becoming an idiot.

His body fell directly from the sky, but at that moment a golden light suddenly appeared in the distance.

The moment this aura appeared, the demonic dragon in the valley seemed to sense its natural enemy, and its eyes instantly cleared.

Instinctively, fear made him want to flee, but a phoenix cry resounded overhead.

Suddenly, a colossal creature with a wingspan of fifty zhang appeared in the dark sky above the valley.

The phoenix chirped excitedly, its beak containing the golden core and storage bag of the escaped cultivator, as well as the corpse core of the corpse-refining beast.

For it, this was merely an appetizer; rather, the demonic dragon in the valley was a tempting meal.

"Roar!"

Terrified, the demonic dragon was like a mouse encountering a cat, frantically scrambling through the valley, trying to find a crack in the ground to disappear into.

However, all of this was in vain. The Phoenix Bird was too fast. With a flap of its wings, a terrifying sea of ​​fire erupted in the valley in an instant.

The next moment, a giant firebird beast appeared, its sharp claws piercing through the demonic dragon's body, splattering large amounts of blood and scales everywhere, while the demonic dragon still tried to struggle.

As a result, the sharp beak pecked down with lightning speed, each time creating a huge bloody hole, all within a few breaths.

The ferocious and terrifying dragon, which had just been so menacing, died with a mournful cry.

It wasn't that the demonic dragon wasn't strong enough; it was simply that the demonized creature was completely countered by the phoenix bird. In addition, the demonic energy had corrupted its intelligence, causing it to lose its fighting spirit due to instinctive fear when encountering its natural enemy.

If it were a monster from the Demon Beast Sea Abyss with normal intelligence, even if it was countered, it could still fight for several rounds and would never be so easily killed.

This scene was witnessed by the girl hidden in the shadows, and her eyes gleamed with a strange light.

"A phoenix! No! This is a golden flame divine phoenix!"

As the Grand Master of the Azure Sea Palace, and the person in charge of the number one force in the Demon Beast Abyss, he has lived for over a thousand years and is a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.

How could they not have this knowledge? An ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator might not be able to tell the difference, but the Azure Sea Palace comes from the royal family of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty.

In terms of resources and knowledge, they are definitely one of the top forces in this world.

……

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, from Lin Chang'an's sudden appearance to the Phoenix Bird's counterattack and killing of the Demon Dragon.

This completely terrified the beautiful female cultivator who had been captured.

With the powerful divine sense of a Nascent Soul level cultivator, all her subtle movements were easily detected.

"Spare me...spare my life, senior..."

Her face was deathly pale, devoid of any color, and she begged for mercy in terror. She finally understood the meaning of the saying that all those below the Nascent Soul stage are like ants.

Death was so close, and there was no way to resist.

"Noisy!"

However, Lin Chang'an snorted coldly. With the terrifying physical strength of a third-level body refinement cultivator, a crisp cracking sound rang out, and the beautiful female cultivator's eyes widened as her neck was instantly snapped.

However, the next moment, a terrifyingly cold aura emanated from his palm, and the icy flames instantly invaded the opponent's body.

The opponent's soul had already been greedily plundered by the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine within Lin Chang'an's body when the cold flames invaded.

Immediately following this, various memories of the beautiful female cultivator surfaced.

It turned out that the other party was a Core Formation cultivator from Corpse Valley, who had also set his sights on the identity of the sword attendant, an outsider cultivator.

Greed for resources was one thing, but they also set their sights on the sword servant's body.

Of course, it wasn't because they discovered the sword servant's spirit; they simply wanted to refine the corpse.

Female Core Formation cultivators are generally excellent materials for corpse refining.

Of course, the more important point is that the other party has set its sights on the foreign secret technique of corpse refining.

"They're even eyeing the methods of corpse refining!"

A cold glint appeared in Lin Chang'an's eyes. Because he usually had his sword attendant carry two Yin Sha corpse puppets, he had been targeted.

What follows is the woman's cultivation experience in Corpse Valley, and her various methods of corpse refining.

Reading the soul of a Core Formation cultivator would have been an extremely energy-consuming task for him.

But now that his divine sense has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, he can read through the memories of a mere Core Formation cultivator in just a few breaths, without even feeling the slightest bit tired.

"Damn it!"

Lin Chang'an snorted coldly. The other person's corpse was already covered in black and blue marks, and his eyes were wide open, revealing an ugly appearance.

Previously, this beautiful female cultivator had planned to turn her sword servant into an ugly zombie, but now she has become the first to turn into this ugly form.

"Since you enjoy refining corpses so much, then I'll refine you into an ugly zombie!"

The next moment, Lin Chang'an took the other party's storage bag and a small black coffin from his waist.

Inside was the unique corpse-refining technique of the Corpse Valley cultivators, but unfortunately, with the death of its master, the zombie also lost its life.

However, this is a good opportunity for the female cultivator to lie down first.

In a short while, Lin Chang'an finished cleaning up the battlefield, and everything in the distant valley was also over.

The entire massive demonic dragon had already been skinned and had its tendons pulled out by the Phoenix Cry Bird, and the rest of its body was swallowed whole in one gulp.

When Lin Chang'an arrived, only half of the bloodied tail was still near the phoenix's beak.

"Master...Master, wait for me!"

The sudden hiccup sound was clearly from someone choking on their food while wolfing it down, leaving Lin Chang'an speechless.

The phoenix, having hastily swallowed the last segment of its tail, rapidly shrank in size and flew to Lin Chang'an, its expression ingratiating.

However, her bloated belly clearly indicates that she ate too much.

“Master, I’ve kept all the scales, tendons, and core of this demonic dragon; it’s completely intact.”

As if presenting a treasure, the Phoenix Bird, with a fawning smile, quickly pointed to the materials scattered on the ground and the demon dragon core that it spat out from its mouth.

As for the storage bag and corpse pill of the gaunt cultivator they had killed earlier, it remained silent, as if it had been forgotten.

Lin Chang'an naturally noticed that the phoenix seemed a little guilty, but he didn't care, since one shouldn't be too demanding when raising birds.

"Owner!"

Just then, the sword attendant, dragging his injured body, hurriedly came over, bowing somewhat ashamed, realizing he had caused trouble for his master.

However, upon seeing this, the phoenix's eyes lit up instantly, as if it had found a suitable excuse to change the subject, and it hurriedly flew to the sword servant's shoulder.

"Master, these cultivators are despicable! They injured people like this. If you ask me, they should be torn to pieces..."

Lin Chang'an knew exactly what the bird was up to even with his eyes closed, and rolled his eyes at it in annoyance.

"Alright, hurry up and clean up the battlefield, don't leave a trace."

However, just as Lin Chang'an was about to heal the sword servant, his powerful senses suddenly detected a trace of aura, causing his expression to change drastically.

"Who goes out here!"

A cold shout made the phoenix and the sword servant wary.

The girl hiding in the shadows was also extremely shocked. Although she had started over, her spiritual sense was still at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

She observed that the other party had only just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage in terms of divine sense, yet he was able to detect her?

Thinking of the Golden Flame Divine Phoenix, she suddenly realized that many cultivators in the cultivation world have their own special opportunities.

This is not surprising.

Lin Chang'an also looked solemn. He hadn't noticed anything at all. If he hadn't been preparing to heal the sword servant, he would have suddenly sensed a trace of aura on the sword servant.

He almost overlooked it.

This wasn't detected by divine sense, but rather by powerful perception.

Although the aura emanating from this person indicated that they were secretly helping the sword servant, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Don't misunderstand, fellow Daoist."

Just then, a figure slowly emerged from the valley.

To avoid being recognized by Lin Chang'an and the others, the Grand Palace Master of Mingyue Palace calmly removed her disguise and revealed her true face.

A young girl slowly walked out, with a beautiful appearance of red lips and white teeth. Although she had a youthful air about her, she was clearly a stunning beauty.

Yet she exuded an air of haughty superiority, completely at odds with her girlish image.

"So he's also a late-stage Core Formation cultivator!"

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Lin Chang'an secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As for the person's appearance, he was not surprised.

In the cultivation world, there are countless cultivation techniques and even extraordinary fruits that can keep a cultivator in the state of a young girl, or even reverse aging.

He was initially nervous that a Nascent Soul cultivator was hiding in the shadows, but he relaxed a bit after the girl appeared.

This woman likely possesses a hidden treasure.

Despite her calm demeanor, the girl wasn't afraid of being recognized, since she always wore a golden mask in the Demon Beast Abyss.

Only a handful of people in the entire Bihai Palace knew her true appearance.

The two had met before in the secret realm, but she was using a mask then as well.

"Fellow Daoist's spiritual sense is quite strong, probably not much different from that of a Nascent Soul cultivator."

The young woman calmly gestured to the jade pendant shimmering with spiritual light at her waist, clearly a treasure that concealed its aura.

"Fellow Daoist is not bad either."

Although the other party was also at the late stage of Core Formation, Lin Chang'an dared not underestimate him.

To remain so composed under such circumstances, and even dare to secretly assist the sword servant while hiding in the shadows, clearly demonstrates that this person has ample confidence in their own strength.

Don't be fooled by how easily he killed the two cultivators and the demonic dragon.

But in reality, he took the initiative and demoralized the two men.

As for the demonic dragon, it simply encountered its nemesis, which was the key to its crushing victory.

Otherwise, if these two and the demonic dragon had any will to fight back, they would never have been so easily wiped out.

However, this person secretly witnessed him killing the two men, and countless thoughts flashed through Lin Chang'an's mind.

However, at that moment, a powerful divine sense swept over, causing him to immediately smile.

"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist. Otherwise, I would not have been able to kill these two Tribulation cultivators so easily."

Lin Chang'an was all smiles. The other party's release of divine sense was clearly a show of force, indicating that his strength was not weak either.

Damn it, his spiritual sense is not much worse than his.

He had just crushed other cultivators of the same level with his Nascent Soul Realm divine sense when he suddenly encountered someone no less capable than himself.

Is it not a good day to go out?

His words were essentially a direct attempt to drag the other party into the mess.

On the contrary, if these two are killed, you will definitely be involved; we'll all share the blame.

The young girl remained calm despite Lin Chang'an's shameless behavior.

However, she managed to detect that the other party had indeed discovered her through some kind of secret technique or treasure.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of himself as just like the other person, a cultivator whose spiritual sense had barely reached the Nascent Soul stage.

She initially didn't want to get involved, but after seeing the golden flame phoenix, she changed her mind.
Unfortunately, since the spirit beast has already recognized her by blood, it seems she will need to plan further if she wants to obtain the Demonic Marrow.

The Golden Flame Divine Phoenix is ​​definitely the best spiritual object for exploring the Demon Abyss and seeking the Demonic Essence. However, it is still somewhat weak at present and can only participate after breaking through to the fourth rank.

In a brief moment, countless thoughts flashed through their minds. The next instant, smiles appeared on both of their faces.

Lin Chang'an tried to get the other party involved, and the other party also wanted to get Lin Chang'an on board. For a time, both sides were eager to make friends.

"Judging from your chilling cultivation technique, you must be the renowned Fellow Daoist Xiao. It seems that you obtained a portion of the Yin Soul Sect's inheritance back in the Demon Beast Sea Abyss Ghost Realm."

With a calm smile and a gesture of respect, the girl readily covered up the lie for the other party.

The Ice Lotus Frost Flame, coupled with the Golden Flame Divine Phoenix, makes them worthwhile for her to engage with first.

Lin Chang'an was also taken aback, as the other party had even revealed the answer he had prepared when someone investigated his cultivation technique in the future.

After all, most of the Yin Soul Sect's techniques are of the Yin and cold type, and it also has the Cold Flame that targets the soul, which is very similar to the supernatural power of Yin Fire.

Therefore, he naturally needed to find a suitable disguise that would be difficult for others to detect, and the Yin Soul Sect was just right.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't misunderstand. I also came from the Demon Beast Sea Abyss, only a few decades earlier than you."

At this point, the young woman calmly cupped her hands and said, "My surname is Ming, and my given name is Yue!"

Mingyue?

Does this surname exist?

"I never expected that Fellow Daoist Ming would also come from the Demon Beast Sea Abyss. It's truly like meeting an old friend in a foreign land."

Lin Chang'an laughed heartily and clasped his hands in greeting.

At that moment, the two seemed to be from the same hometown, and their conversation felt like they had known each other for a long time.

However, during their conversation, Lin Chang'an tentatively nodded in agreement.

This person has a very deep understanding of the Demon Beast Abyss, especially the customs of some sea areas, which is not something that can be easily faked.

It seems this person really did come from the Demon Beast Sea Abyss; after all, not everyone has the opportunity to come here via teleportation array.

With his peak late-stage Core Formation cultivation and powerful divine sense, he must have come here seeking the Nascent Soul opportunity.

This led Lin Chang'an to speculate.

"This problem of spiritual consciousness may be unknown to independent cultivators or some small and medium-sized sects, but it is not uncommon in some large sects."

Many sects with a history spanning thousands of years have developed unique secret techniques to increase the chances of achieving Nascent Soul stage, which have been passed down through generations.

Hearing what the other party said, Lin Chang'an nodded secretly; that was indeed true.

After all, even many Nascent Soul sects experience periods of Nascent Soul cultivation failure. Therefore, given the resources, many sects with strong foundations and powerful Nascent Soul cultivators will conduct research.

With continuous accumulation, some sects with profound foundations will naturally have some special secret techniques to ensure a higher rate of Nascent Soul formation, so as to ensure that the number of Nascent Soul cultivators does not become extinct.

This isn't about the amount of resources, but rather about the accumulation of cultural heritage.

"The fact that breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm increases the chance of forming a Nascent Soul by 10% is a tradition passed down from ancient times and is not particularly unusual."

Watching the graceful young woman speak, Lin Chang'an, though smiling, was filled with wariness.

With such insight, this person is probably not just a simple rogue cultivator.

"I wonder what advice Fellow Daoist Ming has for me?"

He didn't believe that just because they were from the same hometown, the other party would actually rush over to befriend him.

When you're away from home, the people you should be most wary of are those from your hometown.

Mingyue naturally noticed Lin Chang'an's wariness, but she calmly cupped her hands and said:
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that I happened to run into a cultivator from the Abyss Sea. I didn't expect to find Fellow Daoist Xiao here as well."

I have been here for several decades longer than Fellow Daoist Xiao, and therefore have a better understanding of this place. I will now present this intelligence regarding the Southern Region to you.

With a wave of his hand, a jade slip flew over. Lin Chang'an caught it and scanned it with his divine sense. The other party had not lied to him.

Indeed, the intelligence from various forces in the Southern Region was much clearer than he knew.

"However, this place is indeed not a good place to meet. I have heard that Fellow Daoist Xiao is proficient in the Corpse Puppet Technique of the Yin Soul Sect. I will inevitably have to trouble you in the future."

"Fellow Taoist, you're welcome."

The other party seemed to have realized that they were in the Demon Abyss Forest, so they calmly cupped their hands and then transformed into a streak of light and left.

This made Lin Chang'an frown secretly. This person didn't seem to have any ill intentions. Could it be that he really wanted to make friends?

In the world of cultivation, it's not uncommon to make friends with a cultivator who possesses a special skill, but one should not be careless.

"However, this person is indeed quite arrogant."

Although this person seemed to want to befriend him, he could still sense the arrogance emanating from him.

Lin Chang'an then cleaned up the battlefield and quickly left with his sword attendant and the phoenix bird.

Although this was done very discreetly, this person is still a potential threat. It seems that he can't go to Corpse Valley no matter what.

There's only the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect left. Let's go check it out first. If it's not suitable, we can always go further away. However, this will make us quite far from the teleportation array where we can escape quickly.

After Lin Chang'an left, the Grand Palace Master Mingyue calmly watched the disappearing light, revealing a serene expression.

"I hope you won't disappoint me. Only when I break through to the Nascent Soul stage and allow this Phoenix Bird to also enter the fourth rank will I be qualified to discuss the next stage of cooperation."

This Golden Flame Divine Phoenix is ​​a rare find, impossible to seize, so this is the only option left.

……

Lin Chang'an, accompanied by his sword attendant, swept through the market town and finally landed at another market town.

"Owner."

Although the sword servant's injuries had mostly healed, he still felt somewhat guilty for being ambushed and bowed in apology.

After hearing the whole story, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

"Let alone you, anyone would be tempted in this situation."

Lin Chang'an has been in seclusion for the past two years. Although he has provided her with a lot of cultivation resources, the sword attendant is not a puppet and has her own opinions.

After discovering a clue about a spiritual herb, the sword servant is now in the mid-stage of Core Formation, just one step away from breaking through to the late-stage of Core Formation.

He considered himself to be no weaker than an ordinary late-stage Core Formation cultivator, and he also had two Yin Sha Corpse Puppets and a Yin Spirit Two-Headed Tiger as his assistants.

Who would willingly give up such cultivation resources? Little did they know it would turn out to be a trap.

Lin Chang'an was not annoyed by this, even though he was cautious and had encountered danger many times along the way.

This road is bound to have many experiences.

"Let's rest here for a while, and then we'll head to the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect to take a look."

"Yes, Master!"

The sword attendant respectfully clasped her hands in greeting. Her heart was filled only with resentment at her own weakness, and she had no other thoughts.

Lin Chang'an, however, had more to consider, and he narrowed his eyes as he thought about the situation.

Although I was a bit too cautious and moved without thinking, it's always better to be safe than sorry.

However, the deaths of two Core Formation cultivators from Corpse Valley were no small matter, and he still needed to make some arrangements.

At the very least, you need to provide proof that you were not present.

"However, this real battle made us realize firsthand the powerlessness of Core Formation cultivators against Nascent Soul cultivators."

Thinking back on this battle, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Any small movement of a Core Formation cultivator cannot be hidden from the divine sense of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Therefore, very few Core Formation cultivators can escape when facing a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"After dealing with things here, I must find a safe place to cultivate and start planning for the Nascent Soul Spiritual Object."

Lin Chang'an pondered silently. Although he was still far from mastering the skills, he always prepared in advance, never waiting until he reached a certain level of cultivation to prepare.

He's almost three hundred years old; he really needs to get ready quickly.

……

On that day, someone in the market saw a beautiful female cultivator from Corpse Valley arguing with someone.

Lin Chang'an, on the other hand, was all smiles at the Fangshi Chamber of Commerce, seemingly having considered it for the past two years and now inclined to join a particular faction.

This wouldn't arouse suspicion, since he had this idea for a long time, and as long as the major powers were willing to investigate, they would surely find out.

Moreover, even though Corpse Valley discovered it, it only realized that the soul lamps of the two Core Formation cultivators were instantly annihilated.

Therefore, even if there is suspicion, it is impossible to directly suspect him.

There are too many grudges and grievances with Corpse Valley. After all, it's a sect that mainly focuses on corpse refining. How can it be expected to have a good reputation?

If it weren't for the sudden emergence of the Sima clan, those four words, "infamous," would still be hanging over the head of Corpse Valley.

There are rumors circulating that if we're talking about the sects with the most feuds, the Corpse Valley would definitely be the top choice among the four major powers.

But if we're talking about infamous and notorious, the most despised family must be the Sima clan.

It can be said that Corpse Valley and the Sima clan are birds of a feather.

……

Over the next year, Lin Chang'an and his sword attendant entered the territory of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.

【Lifespan: 288/874】

[Realm Level: Late Golden Core (62/100)]

Over the course of more than a year, the local cultivators gradually got used to him, Master Xiao.

He was skilled in alchemy and also proficient in the art of creating corpse puppets.

Lin Chang'an's firsthand experience over the past year was far more authentic than the limited intelligence he gathered.

Although the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect doesn't sound like a prestigious sect, its territory is lush and green, making for a relatively good cultivation environment.

In particular, the business of herbs and elixirs has always been firmly controlled by the top of the four major forces.

After all, raising poisonous insects requires an environment rich in wood element, which naturally affects the prosperity of the sect's spiritual herbs.

Since ancient times, poison and medicine have been inseparable, and with the abundance of spiritual herbs, there are many alchemists within the sphere of influence of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.

This left Lin Chang'an somewhat bewildered upon arriving here.

"It seems that my alchemy business is not doing very well in terms of opening up new avenues."

Of course, if he were to reveal his identity as a third-tier high-grade alchemist, the situation would be different.

"Owner!"

This time, the sword attendant respectfully came to report, handing over the report on what he had found in the surrounding area.

"It seems that the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect is only thinking about recuperating now."

"Yes, Master. According to intelligence, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect has been vigorously cultivating its disciples in recent years, especially that Supreme Elder, who is said to be collecting precious medicinal herbs."

They wanted to heal Ice Butterfly True Monarch's injuries, but with little effect. As for the other three major forces, although the Great Qian Dynasty was willing, the Sima clan and Corpse Valley had already formed an alliance, so they could only remain silent for the time being…

Looking at this situation, Lin Chang'an was extremely satisfied.

Since no one wanted to fight, they gave him a peaceful space to cultivate.

At present, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect is the weakest force, but the advantage is that the conditions for guest elders are relatively more lenient.

Moreover, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect has another major advantage: abundant spiritual herbs and a fourth-level alchemist.

It will be more convenient for him to collect materials about the Nascent Soul Pill or other things in the future.

Actually, the more important point is that the conditions for forming a Nascent Soul are quite demanding.

If one were to form a Nascent Soul outside, the risks would be extremely high, and neither cultivators nor demon beasts would let such a good opportunity pass them by.

As you can see, Lu Zhenjun made many arrangements in order to plan the formation of the Nascent Soul Spirit Land.

He even suspected that this Lu Zhenjun had offended too many people in the Demon Beast Sea Abyss and had no choice but to run back and secretly form his Nascent Soul.

"At present, only these four major forces have the ability to provide spiritual sites for Nascent Soul formation."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but look towards the direction of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, a sect nestled in the clouds and mist of the mountains.

During this period, there were quite a few people extending olive branches to him, an outsider cultivator. After all, even major sects have a limited number of cultivators at the late Core Formation stage.

Even people from Corpse Valley have come, but he dares not go now; if he discovers something, things will get bad.

As for the Great Qian Dynasty, although the conditions were good, the constraints were also the greatest.

As for the Sima family, they seemed to be aware of his reputation and did not send anyone, which relieved Lin Chang'an.

After all, given the Sima family's behavior over the past few years, he didn't want to associate with such a family.

"Besides the four major powers, other Core Formation sects have invited me to serve as an elder, and some families have even extended olive branches, saying that there are stunning beauties in their clans..."

Lin Chang'an was speechless when he thought about how these people had tried to win him over over the past few years.

It's not like he's given up hope.

"Ling'er, let's get ready to visit the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect."

"Yes, Master!"

When he went to the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, he naturally contacted his old acquaintance, Manager Cheng.

……

Seven days later.

With a beaming smile, Manager Cheng led him and his sword attendant toward the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, take a look at my sect. It is absolutely an excellent holy land for cultivating without any distractions."

Although the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect is the weakest of the four major forces, its cultivation environment is definitely the best.

The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect was nestled in the mountains, surrounded by abundant spiritual energy, lush greenery, and swirling clouds, with cranes calling out in the distance.

This doesn't feel like a demonic place at all; it's clearly a celestial abode.

However, there was a cluster of colorful clouds in the distant valley, which was quite a sight.

Lin Chang'an wasn't stupid. The more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is. This beautiful scene was clearly caused by the miasma in the valley.

He had seen too many of these things in the Cloud and Mist Mountains. They seemed to be shrouded in mist and ethereal beauty, and even more colorful under the sunlight, but in reality, they were all miasma.

However, this miasma was clearly restrained by the formation, which added to the beautiful scenery.

In contrast, Corpse Valley was filled with a bloodthirsty aura, while the Great Qian Dynasty was bustling with activity and had too many rules; even the Sima family's dogs wouldn't go there.

If we're talking about calm and focused cultivation, the environment of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect is undoubtedly the most suitable for him to cultivate wood-attribute techniques.

"Indeed, this place is just like a sacred celestial land."

Lin Chang'an chuckled in agreement, while Cheng Xiushi nodded with a broad smile.

Being able to recruit a guest elder at the late Core Formation stage for the sect is a great achievement for the sect.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, rest assured, the sect's Grand Elder is not in seclusion this time and will personally meet with you."

"Oh, is it that Elder Cheng?"

Lin Chang'an glanced at this Fellow Daoist Cheng, seemingly unintentionally, wondering what their relationship was, given that they shared the same surname.

"Indeed, it is my great-uncle."

When he mentioned this, he looked both proud and ashamed.

"It's a pity that the younger generation of the Cheng family has limited talent. Even with the protection of their uncles, I am now the one with the highest cultivation level below my great-uncle."

When mentioning his mid-stage Core Formation cultivation level, this Fellow Daoist Cheng could only manage a helpless wry smile.

Lin Chang'an, however, speculated on other possibilities.

It seems that this Supreme Elder of the Cheng family is nearing the end of his life, and the future of the Cheng family is fraught with difficulties. The fact that they are now sparing no effort to build connections is also a way to pave the way for the future.
