Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 408 The Initial Formation of the Profound Heaven Spiritual Body [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

A few days later, the White Wall City auction ended.

Some Nascent Soul stage monsters went in twos and threes to find a place for a private talk, while others left directly.

After all, once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, you can do as you please.

This is also what Lin Chang'an envies the most, because he had to run all the way from the Demon Beast Sea Abyss to get here just one level away.

Normally, they are afraid of revealing even the slightest trace of the Nascent Soul treasure, lest they attract the covetousness of the Nascent Soul Old Demon.

After the auction, Lin Chang'an looked helpless, as if his fortune had been almost completely depleted.

This Ice Butterfly True Monarch purchased a considerable amount of resources, mostly various kinds of spirit insects and spirit beasts, or some rare spirit herbs and spirit roots.

However, this Ice Butterfly True Monarch had been eyeing treasures with either yin or fire attributes, but he was caught in a pincer attack by the Sima clan and the Corpse Valley forces.

If the price goes up, even if your Ten Thousand Poisons Sect manages to acquire it, the cost will be considerable.

And these two powerful families, with their vast wealth and influence, didn't care about wasting a few more spirit stones.

As an opposing force, this is also a way to weaken the opponent without going to war.

"A spiritual object of either the Yin-cold or fire attribute. It seems that this Ice Butterfly True Monarch is indeed as rumored, not only damaged in his origin, but also probably suffering from a Yin-cold poison."

Through this period of contact, Lin Chang'an also had some vague guesses.

He already knew that cold-type spiritual objects could be used to alleviate the cold poison in the body when he healed the other party on the spirit ship.

The fire attribute can also be used to eliminate some of the cold poison.

It's a pity he didn't get to touch the Ice Butterfly True Monarch's body; otherwise, he would have seen it clearly instead of just being able to speculate.

"At present, among the four major forces, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect is clearly at a disadvantage and is the weakest. The Great Qian Dynasty only hopes that the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect can hold back one of the forces."

After the auction ended, the Wan Du Sect did not rush to leave. In fact, cultivators from various forces were actively selling their goods and purchasing items they needed.

However, during this time, Lin Chang'an received a telepathic message from Mingyue Daoist, with whom he had made an agreement.

……

Inside a private room at a restaurant.

"What? Is this intelligence reliable?!"

Lin Chang'an stared at the Mingyue Daoist in front of him with a shocked expression. His expression was not feigned, but rather a genuine shock.

OK!

He truly hadn't expected that this thick-browed, big-eyed Teng Changfeng was actually the mole.

"reliable!?"

The young girl, Mingyue, had an arrogant expression, seemingly disdainful of explaining, but her mature and condescending tone was completely at odds with her petite appearance.

"Leaving aside the source of this intelligence, both the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect and the Teng family originated from the Six Sects of the Demonic Path, so this can't be called an inside job."

As Mingyue spoke with a cold and aloof tone, she didn't notice that she habitually crossed her arms over her chest, which, while giving her a superior air, only made the beautiful curve of her chest even more prominent.

Although she looks like a young girl, she is incredibly well-endowed.

However, Lin Chang'an had no mind to appreciate the beautiful scenery. Instead, he looked at the intelligence in his hand and fell into deep thought.

To his surprise, he thought the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect would have fewer problems, but he didn't expect that there would be many troublemakers in a shallow pond and many evil spirits in a small temple.

Even the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect has spies from the Six Demonic Sects.

"The six demonic sects have always coveted the unification of the Southern Region. If it weren't for the five righteous sects restraining them, they would have unified the Southern Region long ago."

Moreover, it's not uncommon for various sects and factions to plant spies.

If Lin Chang'an was shocked, then the girl from the Moonlit Sea remained calm and composed.

Having lived for over a thousand years, she has experienced all sorts of conspiracies and schemes, including many spies and even defectors within the Bihai Palace.

"After all this time, it turns out I just don't have enough experience."

Looking at this fellow Daoist Mingyue, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but laugh and cry. He usually cultivated peacefully and didn't get involved in these internal affairs.

In this respect, I am not as knowledgeable as this person.

"Cultivate diligently and strive to reach the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible. The six sects of the Demonic Path have never stopped their methods over the years, and in the last hundred years, they have been secretly instigating infighting among various forces in the Southern Region."

Mingyue spoke calmly, saying that although Bihai Palace's influence in the Southern Region was limited, its strength was comparable to that of the top sects of both the righteous and demonic paths.

These are all powerful forces that have existed for tens of thousands of years. It's impossible for them not to have any intelligence channels with each other.

Moreover, the six sects of the demonic path are not on good terms with each other, and they will sabotage each other to gain their own interests whenever they discover something.

She wouldn't have reminded Lin Chang'an if she didn't still need his help.

"The forces of the demonic path have infiltrated the Alliance of Protectors of the Dao."

Lin Chang'an looked at the information given to him by Mingyue and couldn't help but ponder for a while, but it also gave him a sense of urgency.

Once you get back, seize the time to cultivate and strive to reach the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible. At that time, these current problems will no longer be a big problem.

"In the cultivation world, strength ultimately prevails; any schemes or tricks are ultimately beneath us."

Inside the private room, after the departure of this fellow Daoist Mingyue, leaving only Lin Chang'an, he pondered silently.

He really underestimated Teng Changfeng. It's likely that Teng Changfeng played a significant role in the upheaval at the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect back then.

Moreover, what this fellow Daoist Mingyue said is right. He was also climbing the ranks with dignity, wanting to return to his roots. What kind of undercover agent is he?

"However, this Fellow Daoist Teng is ultimately an unstable factor in the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. I must make sure he doesn't affect my cultivation."

If we're talking about who least wants the sect to be in turmoil right now, it's actually Lin Chang'an. He's even more eager for the sect to be stable than the two Supreme Elders.

"If we were to act covertly, eliminating Teng Changfeng would mean taking out the entire Teng family; we couldn't very well wipe them out, could we?"

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an shook his head. No way!

If I were to actually do it, who knows if I would leave any clues behind?

Now that he has finally settled down here and gradually built trust with the sect, he cannot afford to lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of small gains.

"However, this Fellow Daoist Teng is Elder Cheng's personal disciple. As a fourth-level alchemist, he will surely prepare many good things for his disciple..."

As if thinking of something, Lin Chang'an's eyes flickered, and he seemed somewhat tempted.

However, this plan still needs to be based on a certain level of strength. At the very least, he needs to condense the Xuan Tian Spirit Body first. According to what the red-clothed man said, he will then have the capital to talk to Nascent Soul cultivators using secret techniques.

Only then are you qualified to talk about a deal.

"After all that, strength is still the foundation."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an made up his mind to continue his secluded cultivation after returning home.

……

Two months later.

With the major powers having largely completed their sales and transactions, the flying boats returned one after another, though White Wall City remained bustling with activity.

However, most of them are disciples of various forces, selling low-level resources, which at most attract the interest of Foundation Establishment or Core Formation cultivators.

The Nascent Soul cultivator had already lost interest.

On their return journey, some factions joined together, not wanting to give opposing forces any opportunity to exploit the situation.

For example, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect still traveled with the Great Qian Dynasty, with two flying boats speeding along the way.

Inside the spirit ship.

Inside the elegant pavilion, Ice Butterfly True Monarch exuded a strong chill, which was being slowly absorbed by the demon core in front of him.

After a while, Lin Chang'an stopped using his magic power, slightly tired, and the secret technique also ended.

"Master Xiao's magical power is truly profound, far surpassing that of ordinary cultivators of the same level, which is a great help for Nascent Soul formation."

As Ice Butterfly True Monarch slowly finished her practice and opened her eyes, she felt a strange lightness in her body. She chuckled and thanked True Monarch Xiao.

Lin Chang'an cupped his hands and said, "You're too kind, True Lord."

The other party had helped him a lot in the past, and doing this kind of thing was also a way to increase mutual trust, so he naturally didn't mind.

This Ice Butterfly True Monarch secretly thought to himself, "It's a pity he wasn't trained by a sect."

Her words just now came from the bottom of her heart. The other party's magical power was indeed rare. This involved different cultivation methods and even the physique of the cultivators.

Some spirits can also amplify magical power.

She was naturally more satisfied with the extended healing time she had.

As for whether we should be wary of the opponent's strength?
Below the Nascent Soul stage, all are mere ants. No Nascent Soul cultivator would fear a Core Formation cultivator unless the other party possesses a great treasure, in which case greed would arise.

Lin Chang'an, who wanted to achieve the Nascent Soul stage, naturally needed to prove his own value and potential.

Otherwise, if he pretends to be weak while actually being strong, and truly acts as an ordinary Core Formation cultivator, then he will find it much more difficult to gain the sect's trust or to trade for Nascent Soul spiritual items.

After all, sect investments also consider potential; if you have good potential, you will naturally receive some preferential treatment.

"Master Xiao, you've worked hard. I happened to purchase some Blazing Intoxicant in White Wall City. Please, Master, have a taste."

Lin Chang'an looked like he had exhausted his magical power, and the Ice Butterfly True Monarch was also somewhat grateful, even personally taking the silver wine gourd from his waist.

A cup of nectar, glowing with red flames, was poured into the glass like a red agate.

"Thank you, Zhenjun."

Lin Chang'an was unpretentious; with a smile on his face, he cupped his hands in greeting and then picked up the spirit wine to take a sip.

The first sensation upon tasting it is a scalding, fiery heat, clearly indicating that this is a potent spirit liquor of the fire element, followed by a lingering aroma on the lips and teeth.

"Good wine."

Lin Chang'an then downed the drink in one gulp and couldn't help but praise it. Although it was slightly unpleasant to drink initially, the lingering aroma was among the top three he had ever tasted.

As the spirit wine entered his stomach, a warm feeling spread through his body, and his magical power began to recover at an accelerated pace.

The spiritual wine that Nascent Soul cultivators drink is not just for enjoyment; this Fiery Intoxication is beneficial for nourishing the meridians and restoring magical power.

“Master Xiao, cultivators who practice this kind of cold and yin-type cultivation method for a long time will have some yin energy accumulating in their bodies, and occasionally they need to use spiritual objects of the corresponding attribute to harmonize it.”

The Ice Butterfly True Monarch chuckled softly, toying with the wine cup in her hand, yet a hint of self-mockery lingered deep within her beautiful eyes.

She was referring to ordinary cultivators, but she used to possess a spiritual body, so even the coldest magical power was a great tonic for her. Now, however, she even needs to rely on external objects to dispel some of the cold poison in her body.

Lin Chang'an pretended not to see it and nodded in agreement with a smile.

"I also have a pot of spiritual wine here. Please, True Lord, have a taste."

After saying that, Lin Chang'an took out the jade gourd made of Qingling jade from his waist, opened it, and slowly poured the clear spiritual wine into the wine cup.

The Ice Butterfly True Monarch chuckled and nodded, not refusing the other party's kindness. The moment she took a sip from the cup with her slender jade hand, her expression changed.

"Master Xiao is truly a hidden talent, possessing such a rare and precious wine. May I ask what its name is?"

"Ice Marrow Jade Liquid is made primarily from demon cores and Ice Soul Pearls. It has the effect of calming the soul and strengthening cultivation. Of course, for a True Monarch, it is nothing more than a matter of satisfying one's appetite."

Lin Chang'an said with a light laugh.

"Good wine, it's just a bit of a pity."

Ice Butterfly True Monarch shook his head with some regret. It was obvious that the ingredients for this spirit wine were extremely rare even in the Demon Beast Sea Abyss, let alone here.

However, this can also be considered as further evidence confirming that Lin Chang'an's identity is genuine.

During this trip to White Wall City, Lin Chang'an stayed in front of this Nascent Soul cultivator the whole time. After many tests, the trust between the two parties deepened.

When Teng Changfeng learned that Lin Chang'an had helped Ice Butterfly True Monarch dispel the cold, he not only did not feel disgusted, but was also grateful to him in private.

After all, in his eyes, Lin Chang'an was just an outsider cultivator, not a native sect member like himself.

Although some of his ancestors wanted to return to their roots, this did not affect his feelings for the sect and his senior sister in the slightest.

After returning to his sect, Lin Chang'an began his continued secluded cultivation, having obtained a considerable amount of materials for body refinement from the trade fair.

He naturally needed to first break through to the late stage of the third level of body refinement, and then begin to condense the Profound Heaven Spirit Body in preparation for forming his Nascent Soul.

……

The stars move and the years pass.

The four seasons change outside the cave. This time, Lin Chang'an did not expect that it would take him ten years to break through to the late stage of the third level of body refinement, even with the help of corresponding spiritual objects.

For the past ten years, aside from refining Yin Sha Corpse Puppets or visiting the Ice Butterfly True Monarch to help him clear the cold poison, he has spent most of his time in seclusion cultivating.

In the eyes of the Wan Du Sect cultivators, this Master Xiao was a veritable ascetic.

【Lifespan: 304/1023】

[Realm Level: Late Golden Core (78/100)]

At this moment, a terrifying aura of blood and qi emanated from the secret chamber of the cave. However, as Lin Chang'an exhaled, this aura slowly began to subside and stabilize.

Instead, a mysterious life force surrounded him, and he gradually merged with heaven and earth. At this moment, Lin Chang'an felt like a deeply rooted tree.

Its body is exceptionally resilient, yet it is brimming with terrifying life force.

"After ten years, I have finally broken through to the late stage of the third tier of body refinement."

Lin Chang'an slowly opened his eyes, feeling the terrifying power within his body. With a wave of his hand, a high-grade spirit stone appeared in his palm.

However, a horrifying scene unfolded the next moment. Lin Chang'an, with a calm expression, actually took the incredibly hard high-grade spirit stone and started biting into it.

Immediately following was a chilling chewing sound as Lin Chang'an swallowed the top-grade spirit stone.

Only a fully-formed demon can eat top-grade spirit stones raw.

"How is this newly formed Profound Heaven Body?"

Just then, the remnant soul in red robes hanging in the scroll inside the secret room stretched lazily as if it had just woken up, but its eyes were fixed on Lin Chang'an.

This pure and profound magical power made her instinctively drool.

Lin Chang'an nodded in satisfaction.

"Very strong. If breaking through to the late stage of the third level of body refinement is an enhancement of close combat ability, then this newly condensed Xuan Tian Spiritual Body gives me an unprecedented feeling." His internal mana has increased by more than two times. He dares to say that among cultivators of the same level, there are very few in the entire cultivation world whose mana is more abundant than his.

There's also the strengthening of one's own body. Unlike the hardness of ordinary body cultivators, one's strengthening is a kind of toughness that comes from the inside out.

Moreover, the biggest gain this time was that his lifespan had exceeded a thousand years, making him comparable to some short-lived Nascent Soul cultivators.

The breakthrough in body refinement was one point, but more importantly, after condensing this Profound Heaven Spirit Body, he could feel this life force still nourishing his body.

His current lifespan is not yet the limit.

"This is just the beginning."

Seeing Lin Chang'an's excited expression, the red-clothed remnant soul looked at him with disdain, as if to say that he was ignorant.

"Your self-healing body has almost reached its limit. Once you break through to the Nascent Soul stage, as your Profound Heaven Spirit Body gradually condenses, you will be able to advance to the Undying Body."

And you should already feel it now; the initial condensation of this Profound Heaven Spiritual Body is causing a tremendous change in your body. Simply put, you now possess a top-tier spiritual body in this world.

Listening to the description from the remnant soul in red, Lin Chang'an nodded in satisfaction.

It was worth all the resources he had spent cultivating this technique; it certainly didn't disappoint him, as its power only increased as he progressed.

"Right now you have only condensed the Xuan Tian Spiritual Body to a preliminary stage, not even reaching the Lesser Chengdu level, but it is enough for you, such as the hidden and concealing supernatural power that you have been longing for before."

At this moment, the remnant soul in red couldn't resist making a joke, mentioning how Lin Chang'an hadn't focused on the other aspects of the Xuan Tian Spiritual Body's strength, but instead had a particular fondness for its hidden and concealed nature.

After hearing this, Lin Chang'an nodded frankly.

Since he lacks strength, his priority is naturally to save his life. Why would he choose to use powerful supernatural abilities to fight to the death with others, only to be killed after exhausting his own magical power?

"Now that I have the ability to conceal myself, I'm afraid even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn't be able to detect me."

At this moment, Lin Chang'an also chuckled, a rare self-deprecating laugh, while the red-clothed remnant soul shook his head speechlessly upon seeing this, and then said helplessly:

"More than that, once you conceal your aura and hide yourself, not only will ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators be unable to detect you, but even those in the mid-Nascent Soul stage will be unable to detect you."

This ability is similar to the hidden and concealing supernatural powers possessed by some supreme wood-based spiritual creatures.

Lin Chang'an exclaimed in surprise and emotion upon hearing this.

The term "spiritual wood" refers to rare and precious natural materials that have become spiritually connected. These spiritual energies can take form after leaving the body, just like the lightning tribulation wood at the previous auction. Any material that has survived the lightning tribulation becomes such a treasure.

Its ability to conceal itself is extremely difficult to detect, even for Nascent Soul cultivators. Only when such rare and precious materials reveal their aura will they be discovered by Nascent Soul cultivators.

It is conceivable that although he cannot defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator, if he hides, ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators would really not be able to find him.

However, Lin Chang'an seemed to remember something and couldn't help but ask curiously:

“I remember you mentioned before that the Xuan Tian Spiritual Body has many wonderful uses, and it seems that you highly recommend it.”

He hadn't forgotten how excited this remnant soul in red was back then, eagerly anticipating his condensation of the Xuan Tian Spiritual Body, even going so far as to make empty promises to him.

"What does it mean to admire!"

The remnant soul in red stared wide-eyed. If she hadn't fallen into this person's hands and needed his Xuan Tian spiritual body to nourish her soul, she would never have been so humble.

"Please give me some advice, fellow Taoist."

Lin Chang'an remained humble about the progress made and showed no dissatisfaction.

After all, every step forward makes one stronger, and having a remnant soul so familiar with this technique is actually more beneficial to him.

Over the years, the remnant soul in red has become familiar with him and is no longer the mysterious and aloof figure he once was.

Perhaps because it had been sealed inside the scroll for so many years, it had become so repressed that it ended up keeping company with the phoenix. The remnant soul and the bird were kindred spirits, both lacking freedom.

According to the Phoenix Bird, it couldn't be seen by people in the Demon Beast Sea Abyss and hid every day. Even after coming here, it still couldn't be seen by people and hid every day.

Lin Chang'an had been in seclusion for many years, which resulted in the remnant soul getting along even better with the phoenix than with him.

It was precisely because of their familiarity with each other that the remnant soul in red snorted and, with an arrogant expression, pointed out:

"You've only just begun to unleash the full power of this Mysterious Celestial Vine. Take out your Thunder Tribulation Wood, infuse it with your magic power, and see what happens."

Despite his doubts, Lin Chang'an still took out the Thunder Tribulation Wood that Ice Butterfly True Monarch had helped him trade at the auction.

As his profound magical power slowly flowed into the pitch-black lightning tribulation wood palm, the pupils instantly contracted.

"This is!"

Lin Chang'an couldn't help but show a look of shock. He could feel that his Xuan Tian magic power was nurturing and accelerating the growth of this piece of lightning tribulation wood.

Meanwhile, the remnant soul in red seemed to enjoy Lin Chang'an's ignorant attitude.

"Can you feel the breath of life? The greatest effect of this Xuan Tian power is no exaggeration to call it bringing the dead back to life."

Through the remnant soul in red's narration, Lin Chang'an finally understood another use of this Xuan Tian magic power.

He can use his Xuan Tian magic to heal anything with life, including plants, and now he can even accelerate their growth.

After his Xuan Tian Spiritual Body reached its peak, he was even able to bring the dead back to life.

However, upon hearing this, Lin Chang'an looked at the other person with a strange expression and said:

"Fellow Daoist, why are you in such a hurry for me to condense this Profound Heaven Spiritual Body? Could it be that you want me to help you come back to life in the future?"

The other party is a remnant soul. If his spiritual body is fully developed, according to the other party, I really have the ability to help him come back to life and achieve true resurrection.

"What are you thinking about!"

Although the remnant soul in red was incredibly tempted, she still widened her eyes and said irritably:
"You really dare to think that way. Do you know that the Xuan Tian Spirit Body, as the most top-tier spiritual body in the world, is so easy to cultivate?"

Moreover, you've only just begun to condense your spiritual body; you haven't even reached the Lesser Chengdu stage yet. At most, you can accelerate the growth of some spiritual herbs and heal some surviving ones..."

His foul breath clearly indicated a guilty conscience, as if his secret had been revealed. Lin Chang'an's eyes twitched at the sight; he really resembled a phoenix.

These two are together every day, I wonder who copied whom.

"Ahem, it's nothing really. Fellow Daoist, you should think more about how to help me become stronger in the future."

Since the other party had a purpose, Lin Chang'an was naturally happy to see it, after all, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

To revive him, he needs to grow to a certain level first.

"You really think it's that easy..."

The remnant soul in red muttered softly, but her voice grew softer and softer as she felt a sharp pain in her head.

It seemed that this was indeed her purpose, but she couldn't remember the specifics. However, she naturally didn't mind the possibility of being truly resurrected.

Unfortunately, even she was bewildered by the fact that she had been brought back from the dead. What level of cultivation would one need to reach to achieve this?
She genuinely couldn't remember.

Lin Chang'an shook his head as he watched the remnant soul in red gradually fall into deep thought, recalling the things it had forgotten.

"Alright, let's get down to business. You said that as long as you condense the Profound Heaven Spirit Body, you will have the strength to fight against Nascent Soul cultivators."

As he said this, Lin Chang'an looked at the other person with suspicion.

Although he could feel that his strength was much greater than before, he still didn't seem to be qualified to arm wrestle with a Nascent Soul cultivator.

At most, they can rely on their Nascent Soul realm divine sense to manipulate Nascent Soul level magic treasures to provoke Nascent Soul cultivators.

Alternatively, they might rely on the concealment abilities of the Xuan Tian Spiritual Body to avoid being discovered by Nascent Soul cultivators.

But none of this really counts as arm wrestling!
"No hurries."

The remnant soul in red hesitated, seemingly reluctant to speak, but when faced with Lin Chang'an's gaze, she finally succumbed and helplessly said:

"You know the art of spirit possession, right? After you've initially condensed your Profound Heaven Spirit Body, you'll be able to withstand my spirit possession blessing, or rather, a temporary spirit fusion..."

As the other party slowly revealed the secret technique, Lin Chang'an suddenly understood.

This secret technique is somewhat similar to the spirit-attachment technique of Nascent Soul cultivators, but there are also significant differences.

If the remnant soul of the red-clothed figure sealed within the scroll were to possess his body, the two souls could temporarily merge.

We are in each other, to the point where we are intertwined.

"With our current strength, using this secret technique will allow you to temporarily possess the strength of a true Nascent Soul Realm cultivator."

Lin Chang'an was intrigued. No wonder the woman in red had said that after she condensed the Xuan Tian Spirit Body, she would have the ability to talk to Nascent Soul cultivators. So that's how it was.

Lin Chang'an, who was originally planning to emerge from seclusion, once again began to cultivate this secret technique with Hongyi.

……

Two months later.

Inside the cave, Lin Chang'an sat cross-legged, radiating a terrifying Nascent Soul power. This was not a disguise; he was a true Nascent Soul cultivator who even possessed a Nascent Soul.

Within Lin Chang'an's sea of ​​consciousness, a small and exquisite nascent soul appeared.

However, Lin Chang'an had a strange expression on his face at this moment, but fortunately no one else knew it.

The truth is that the nascent soul inside him is actually a woman.

It was the red-clad figure that transformed.

Normally, when a nascent soul is formed, it takes the form of an infant. However, this nascent soul is exquisitely crafted, essentially a miniature version of a red-clad figure.

She showed no signs of being an infant, which shows that she was very powerful in life. Even with only a wisp of her soul remaining, she was able to achieve this.

"To truly experience the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, you and I need to achieve a state of perfect harmony between mind and spirit in order to unleash the full power of the Nascent Soul Realm..."

The tiny nascent soul revealed its exquisite and beautiful face, which was the first time Lin Chang'an had seen it clearly.

Especially since the nascent soul was only covered by a few red petals, Lin Chang'an could see every pore clearly.

The nascent soul formed by the red-clad figure greedily absorbed the sweet Xuan Tian magic power as it breathed in and out of spiritual energy. Although she would suffer some losses from using this secret technique, consuming more Xuan Tian spiritual energy would make up for it.

At this moment, Lin Chang'an slowly opened his eyes, feeling the true power of the Nascent Soul cultivator, which filled him with emotion.

"No wonder Nascent Soul cultivators are the ones who set the rules in this world."

The difference between a late-stage Golden Core cultivator and a Nascent Soul cultivator is too vast.

All the methods he had previously possessed were probably only enough to exchange a few blows with some Nascent Soul cultivators who had just entered the Nascent Soul realm, or some Nascent Soul cultivators with weak and feeble strength.

"But this..."

As Lin Chang'an slowly rose to his feet, his demeanor became strangely elegant, leaving the other speechless.

Upon seeing this, the red-clad nascent soul within the body said irritably, "What? You're not happy about it?"

The fact that the two people are intertwined naturally leads to some overlap in their habits.

Moreover, in this situation, the two need to cooperate perfectly, otherwise it will be like the feeling of a Nascent Soul old monster who is not used to the new body after being possessed.

"okay."

As the two of them finished performing the secret technique, the nascent soul within his sea of ​​consciousness transformed into a stream of light and flashed out from between his eyebrows.

The moment it left the body, the nascent soul dissipated and transformed into a figure dressed in red.

Then, without looking back, he vanished directly into the scroll.

"You are not allowed to use this secret technique unless it is a matter of life and death."

A fierce voice came from inside the scroll, and Lin Chang'an felt a little embarrassed. It seemed that he really did have something he needed this person's help with right away.

"Ahem, Fellow Daoist in red, I currently need to prepare for Nascent Soul formation. You wouldn't want anything to happen to me, would you?"

Seeing Lin Chang'an's blatant and shameless words, the woman in red gritted her teeth. This man was utterly shameless.

Such a shameless threatening tone, spoken so openly—she's truly broadened her horizons.

"Fellow Daoist! Excellent! Very excellent!"

The woman in red gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do. Now, their fates were intertwined; if one prospered, the other would prosper, and if the other suffered, they would suffer together.

When this secret technique is used, the two are practically naked and honest with each other, with no secrets or privacy whatsoever.

They can even easily probe each other's memories as long as the secret technique is not terminated.

"Ahem, fellow Daoist, rest assured, the promise between us will be fulfilled one day when my Xuan Tian Spiritual Body is fully developed, I will definitely help you to revive and rebuild your physical body."

"it is good!"

Faced with the prospect of being resurrected, the woman in red couldn't resist the temptation and nodded.

At this moment, Lin Chang'an also felt the power within his body dissipating, giving him a sense of loss and melancholy.

It would be better if he had never possessed it, but having once possessed it and now experiencing its loss is a feeling that outsiders can hardly understand.

"However, after the secret technique was lifted and the nascent soul dissipated, this power gradually decreased rather than plummeted."

Lin Chang'an nodded secretly. Through the past two months of training, he and Hongyi had become able to work together perfectly.

Using this secret technique, he can maintain his Nascent Soul state for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. If he delays any longer, it will harm both of them.

He himself needs to overdraw his lifespan to activate the Xuan Tian magic power, while the woman in red needs to consume her divine soul.

This secret technique is based on his initially refined Xuan Tian spiritual body.

"However, the woman in red is indeed related to this Xuan Tian Immortal Vine. Her soul also exudes the power of Xuan Tian. No wonder I felt a sense of familiarity with her back then."

Lin Chang'an couldn't help but ponder, then thought about this cultivation technique and the profound power of the Xuan Tian that filled the red-clothed divine soul.

He even suspected that the woman in red might have also cultivated this type of technique, and similarly refined a Xuan Tian Immortal Vine into her natal spiritual plant.

As for not doubting whether it was his own plant, that was simply because this thing, like a natal magic weapon, once it recognizes its master and initially condenses into a Xuan Tian spiritual body, will be completely tainted by the original cultivator's aura.

He could clearly sense that the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine within his body contained no other aura.

However, he then shook his head. These ancient secrets were too distant, even more distant from him. Right now, his priority was to form his Nascent Soul.

"If we're talking about Nascent Soul formation, this fourth-tier alchemist elder in the sect must have Nascent Soul Pills. It seems it's time to make a secret deal."

He lacked the strength before, but now it's different. He now possesses the ability to converse with a Nascent Soul cultivator, although only for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Thinking about Teng Changfeng's secret, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but sigh. This was truly the first time he had ever devoted himself so wholeheartedly to a sect.

He realized he was being too grateful, so he decided to use the Nascent Soul Pill as payment. Otherwise, he believed the other person would feel uncomfortable if they owed him a favor.

　[It's almost the end of the month... I'd love for your monthly votes, fellow cultivators!]
