Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 413 Nascent Soul Pill Finally Acquired, Chaos Initially Stabilized [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Yinshan Market.

After news of a Buddhist Nascent Soul cultivator appearing a hundred miles away spread, the market closed and chose to observe the situation calmly.

To Nascent Soul cultivators, this market town was completely inconspicuous, and no one would have imagined that the instigator of all this would be here.

While the market was on high alert, Lin Chang'an claimed to be recovering his magical power in his cave and began to take stock of his spoils of war.

But when he thought about his experience, he was speechless. How many times had this happened? He had been targeted and possessed by a Nascent Soul cultivator again.

“Before, my aptitude was low, and these powerful cultivators wouldn’t even glance at me. Now that my cultivation level is higher and my cultivation speed is faster, these old monsters have all set their sights on me.”

"I don't know if I'm unlucky or lucky."

The last time, the Crimson Fire Old Monster, and this time, the Nascent Soul Old Monster, were both ambushed and only their Nascent Souls escaped; moreover, their injuries were quite severe.

The advantage is that he is facing an extremely weak Nascent Soul cultivator, while the disadvantage is that most of these Nascent Soul cultivators have lost their fortunes.

After devouring the soul of another Nascent Soul cultivator, a tender sprout emerged from the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine within Lin Chang'an's body, which brought a smile to Lin Chang'an's face.

He then began to examine the Nascent Soul cultivator's spoils of war.

"Another Nascent Soul level magic weapon, but unfortunately it's severely damaged."

A pitted and dark gourd, now its luster has faded.

This is the natal magic weapon of this Nascent Soul cultivator, a malevolent weapon that can unleash a chilling wind that corrodes the flesh and erodes the soul.

Upon seeing this, Lin Chang'an shook his head, lamenting that it was yet another illicit treasure.

He hasn't even reached the Nascent Soul stage yet, but he already possesses quite a few Nascent Soul level magic treasures.

Although they have all suffered some losses, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would probably be tempted by this fortune.

"However, the biggest gain this time should be this treasure that caused turmoil in the Great Qian Dynasty."

A bundle of jade slips appeared in Lin Chang'an's hand. He couldn't help but nod to himself, for this was the most valuable spoils of war.

The turmoil that began with the discovery of a ruined cave dwelling was the start of the Great Qian Dynasty.

This ancient cave was indeed real, and the result was that the demonic path took advantage of this, and then used the Sima clan to stir up that turmoil, almost overthrowing the Great Qian Dynasty.

This Nascent Soul cultivator obtained the treasure amidst the chaos.

The jade slip contains a divine ability called "Sword Qi Transforms into Silk," which is an extremely profound method among sword cultivators. It also contains the cultivation insights of this ancient cultivator during his lifetime.

"Sword energy turning into silk is the pinnacle of sword cultivation. Even among sword cultivators in the mid-Nascent Soul stage, very few can master this divine ability."

Jin Jianchuan, the disciple of the Sword Saint of White Wall City, also mastered this divine ability when he was in the early stage of Nascent Soul, thus shining brightly and becoming famous in the Southern Region.

"The techniques and supernatural abilities at the Nascent Soul level are closely guarded secrets of the top sects and forces, and only Nascent Soul elders within them can cultivate them."

A powerful divine ability at the Nascent Soul level is always a Nascent Soul cultivator's trump card.

Just like in the Demon Beast Sea Abyss, the Xuan Yin Old Demon painstakingly cultivated the Xuan Yin Divine Fire Divine Power, which was a top-level divine power.

It is conceivable how precious top-tier supernatural abilities are among Nascent Soul cultivators, and how extremely rare it is that some can actually cultivate them.

The conditions for cultivating each top-level supernatural power are extremely demanding.

"This person obtained a legacy during the chaos; who knows how many treasures are inside this ruin."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but sigh. In this cultivation world, any cave or ruin that is exposed will cause a massacre, leaving behind piles of corpses.

Unfortunately, this person was just a rogue cultivator, and was at a disadvantage against the Great Qian Dynasty, the Sima Clan, and the Demonic Path.

Getting one item amidst the chaos is already considered pretty good.

"However, this supernatural power is indeed quite difficult to cultivate."

This understanding of swordsmanship made Lin Chang'an frown.

【Sword Shadow at Will (Perfect 9587/10000)】

However, his mastery of the "Sword Shadow at Will" technique is extraordinary, and his years of understanding have also led to remarkable progress in swordsmanship.

He did have the opportunity to cultivate this supernatural ability.

"Unfortunately, the most important thing for me right now is to form my Nascent Soul."

Cultivating such a top-tier divine ability is extremely energy-consuming, and his cultivation level is also insufficient. After roughly reviewing the demanding conditions for this divine ability, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

His primary goal right now is to form his Nascent Soul. What good are all the supernatural powers he can cultivate if he doesn't achieve this?

However, this supernatural ability is secondary; the insights and understanding of swordsmanship contained within it are the real treasure.

Both the swordsman and he can use it.

However, at that moment, a somewhat anxious voice came from outside the cave.

"Brother Xiao, something bad has happened! Fellow Daoist Jiang has disappeared. I originally wanted to go to Fellow Daoist Jiang to discuss the layout of the market, but there was no movement at all in the cave."

I sensed something was wrong and sent several transmission talismans in quick succession. Finally, I even tentatively broke through the formation, only to find that it was extremely fragile…

The middle-aged elder surnamed Yuan, who had just reached the Core Formation stage, spoke of this matter with a solemn expression.

Lin Chang'an naturally knew where this Jiang cultivator had gone, but he couldn't very well tell him that Elder Jiang had been manipulated long ago and had perished in his cave.

He already knew from his memory that when this manipulated fellow Daoist Jiang came to visit him, he deliberately avoided everyone else.

This undoubtedly saved him a lot of trouble.

"For a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator to disappear silently, this must have been done by a Nascent Soul cultivator, or something else entirely!"

At this moment, Lin Chang'an expressed his opinion with a solemn expression, which was why Elder Yuan's expression was not very good.

"If he were a Nascent Soul cultivator, why would he need to be so secretive? But if this Fellow Daoist Jiang were to leave secretly on his own..."

As he spoke, Elder Yuan's expression grew increasingly grim.

He clearly suspected that Elder Jiang was a spy from another force. The earlier commotion by the Nascent Soul cultivator might have caused something, which is why Elder Jiang left quietly.

“Fellow Daoist Yuan, now that Elder Jiang has disappeared and the Nascent Soul cultivator has appeared a hundred miles away, these are things that neither you nor I can control. Let’s report to the sect again.”

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Xiao is right."

Such an important matter is beyond their control; they must inform the sect.

Lin Chang'an was also secretly pondering that the aftermath of this incident should be able to ease the tense situation.

Whether it was exposing the Buddhist Nascent Soul cultivator or selling information about Teng Changfeng to Ice Butterfly True Monarch, it was all for his own benefit.

I just hope to secure a more stable environment for my cultivation.

The turmoil was not conducive to his plans to establish a child.

……

In the following period, a valley a hundred miles outside Yinshan Market appeared where Nascent Soul cultivators resided.

In just over half a month, Nascent Soul cultivators from various factions have secretly come to this place to investigate.

"There's no mistake, only those who have cultivated the highest level of Buddhist techniques can achieve such a level of attainment."

"The demonic path wants to instigate internal strife within the Guardian Alliance, while the righteous path wants our Guardian Alliance to weaken the demonic path's power. Neither of them is a good person."

"Alas, these are turbulent times."

After the Nascent Soul cultivators arrived and investigated, they confirmed that it was indeed a Buddhist aura and then left.

However, just when everyone thought the matter was over, another shocking revelation broke out.

The Myriad Poisons Sect was invaded by an unknown Nascent Soul cultivator. If it weren't for the fact that a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Great Qian Dynasty happened to come to trade spiritual herbs, and that Nascent Soul cultivator Cheng Qingsong returned to provide timely assistance, the sect would have been saved.

The sect was almost breached by outsiders, but even so, this unknown Nascent Soul cultivator colluded with spies and, taking advantage of Ice Butterfly True Monarch's seclusion, managed to break into the sect's treasure vault.

They plundered the two Nascent Soul Pills nurtured in the alchemy furnace within Elder Cheng's cave, along with countless other resources.

The entire Protectorate Alliance was shaken.

There was a strong sense of unease among the people.

……

Yinshan Market.

"Brother Xiao, have you heard? Our sect's treasury has been completely looted, and even Elder Cheng's Nascent Soul Pills have been stolen."

When the news spread, Elder Yuan, who had grown up in the sect since childhood, couldn't help but feel angry and resentful.

"I heard there are traitors within the sect, and they're all traitors from the demonic path. Damn it!"

"Even the Great Qian Dynasty has revealed that it was the Sima clan that colluded with the demonic path and had an internal traitor, which caused the turmoil..."

Hearing Elder Yuan's words, Lin Chang'an nodded solemnly.

"These are turbulent times, but the fact that the traitors within the demonic path are causing widespread panic may not be a bad thing. At the very least, the primary task for all the major powers right now is to thoroughly investigate their own traitors."

Lin Chang'an secretly marveled at how shrewd Elder Cheng was.

Instead of hiding anything, they took advantage of the demonic Nascent Soul cultivators and the traitor to maximize their direct benefits.

It was meant to clearly tell everyone that the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect was a Nascent Soul sect, right? But what happened? It was infiltrated by the demonic path, and its stronghold was almost destroyed.

Needless to say, other forces are also mixed up, as the Guardian Alliance itself is a motley crew, with all sorts of people.

Among them were cultivators involved with both the righteous and demonic factions, but everyone was driven by self-interest.

The lessons learned from the Wan Du Sect and the Great Qian Dynasty have already put all the major powers on guard, and they do not want to repeat the same mistakes.

I can secretly collude with you to make deals for profit, but it absolutely cannot affect my own interests. Who isn't afraid of being exposed?

Therefore, after this incident broke out, the entire Protectorate Alliance withdrew its forces, and some tense hostile forces all backed down and went to investigate their own internal affairs first.

"These demonic cultivators are truly incorrigible, still coveting our Dao Protection Alliance."

Lin Chang'an went along with it.

The good thing about this is that the tension in Yinshan Market has eased, and they can continue mining in peace.

However, the repercussions of this incident continued, and Lin Chang'an kept inquiring about the details.

A month later, new information emerged.

"Master, according to the latest intelligence we have gathered, after the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Demonic Path fled from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect in a sorry state, they were pursued and killed by various forces along the way."

Although his physical body was destroyed and his nascent soul severely damaged, and he managed to escape back to the demonic realm, according to intelligence, regaining his nascent soul cultivation through possession will likely not be an easy task.

The sword attendant solemnly recounted the entire incident in detail, leaving Lin Chang'an stunned.

How could a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Demonic Path escape by crossing through the Alliance of Protectors?
This is clearly a sign that major powers are letting the money go.

However, Lin Chang'an then realized that none of the major forces wanted to directly wage war against the demonic path, since no one knew if their own forces had been infiltrated.

Jin Jianchuan, the Nascent Soul cultivator from Baibi City, went to great lengths to avoid conflict, his intention being quite clear: to use this opportunity to reunite the Protectorate Alliance.

However, this Nascent Soul cultivator from the demonic path is not faring well either; he has been almost crippled, and the resources needed to restore him are enough to cultivate a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Actually, from the perspective of the Guardians of the Way, it's not a loss.

"Elder Cheng of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect has probably thought of all this. Now that the sect is in a period of weakness, it needs a stable environment even more."

After a flash of the various parties' intentions, Lin Chang'an instantly understood and couldn't help but curse these Nascent Soul stage monsters in his heart, each one more cunning than the last.

He said, "How could I possibly suffer a loss?"

The sword attendant added with a solemn expression, "I heard that this demonic Nascent Soul cultivator encountered an attack, suspected to be from righteous cultivators, on his escape route."

Ok!

Lin Chang'an was speechless after hearing this.

The Guardian Alliance also wanted to provoke a war between the righteous and the demonic forces, and they resorted to underhanded tactics.

The demonic path wanted to instigate internal strife within the Guardian Alliance, while the righteous path did not want the Guardian Alliance to be too weak and wanted to use it to restrain the demonic path. Although the Guardian Alliance was a loose group, it could not be said that it was so weak that it had no ability to resist.

Otherwise, the Protectorate Alliance would have been wiped out long ago.

Seizing the same opportunity, the Protectorate also wanted to incite a struggle between the righteous and the demonic paths.

It can be said that the three forces have formed a perfect closed loop, with each checking and restraining the other.

"It seems that the situation will not cause any major chaos for the time being."

Lin Chang'an nodded in satisfaction. He didn't care about the righteous or demonic paths, nor did he care about the Protectorate Alliance. He only knew that he could now cultivate in peace for a while.

"I wonder how this Fellow Daoist Teng is doing now."

With the current crisis of turmoil resolved, Lin Chang'an felt relieved and couldn't help but think of this Fellow Daoist Teng.

After all, this was a Nascent Soul Pill that was part of his deal with Ice Butterfly True Monarch.

As for the so-called theft of the Nascent Soul Pill, just listen to it and don't take it seriously.

Not to mention someone like him who knew the inside story, other major sects were also secretly suspicious, guessing that there must be some exaggeration involved.

"Let's not concern ourselves with what's happening outside; focusing on our cultivation is the most important thing."

Under Lin Chang'an's indifferent gaze, he decided to cultivate peacefully with the sword attendant for the time being.

……

White wall city.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Jin, on your breakthrough in cultivation."

Upon seeing that Jin Jianchuan's cultivation had indeed broken through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, the old monster with the Demon Flame couldn't help but smile and cup his hands in greeting. At this moment, he secretly thought to himself that his choice of this person had not been in vain.

Dressed in a white robe, the refined Jin Jianchuan greeted the first Nascent Soul cultivator to choose him as his ally with a friendly smile and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect:
"Brother Moyan, you are too kind. I am only benefiting from my master's guidance. Otherwise, how could I have achieved my current level of cultivation?"

When he was chasing after the Nascent Soul cultivators of the demonic path, he was surprised to hear that Jin Jianchuan had broken through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage. So he made a special trip here to visit him.

Upon seeing him today, the Demon Flame Old Monster was all smiles. Sword cultivators were already quite strong among their peers, let alone those who had broken through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

Behind this person is a master at the late Nascent Soul stage. "Fellow Daoist Jin, my clansmen have been settled in White Wall City. I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you to take care of them in the future."

There must be a reason why a Nascent Soul cultivator could pledge allegiance to him.

The Demon Flame Old Monster's lifespan is only one or two hundred years. He was originally a barbarian cultivator, and the only people he cared about were his own people.

He chose to join Baibicheng because he saw Jin Jianchuan's potential and his plans for the clan.

Jin Jianchuan also had a big smile on his face. He was the first to reach the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

When the Ice Butterfly True Monarch first appeared, he was hailed as the number one prodigy, and even he, who had a Sword Saint master behind him, was overshadowed by his brilliance.

It's a pity that the once-proud genius was crippled; only he has managed to reach where he is today.

"Recently, this wicked demon has done us a great favor. First it was the Great Qian Dynasty, and now it's the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. With this commotion, everyone in the Protectorate Alliance will be in danger."

They will inevitably regroup then, in preparation for any potential invasion by the demonic forces.

As an ambitious and capable tyrant, Jin Jianchuan not only failed to stop this turmoil, but also fueled it from behind the scenes.

If we don't make a big fuss, how can we remind these people of the fear of the demonic path?

The old monster with the demonic flames grinned, seemingly rough and uncouth, but in reality, he had no interest in these convoluted schemes.

As long as White Wall City can protect his people, that's enough.

As for whether he was worried that the other party would not keep his promise, Old Monster Demon Flame was not afraid at all. He was certain that what he valued was the other party's ambition.

As the first Nascent Soul cultivator to pledge allegiance and offer assistance, if Jin Jianchuan were to discard his allies after they have served their purpose, it would damage his reputation and his ambitions.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, rest assured, when the Dao Protection Alliance reunites in the future, I will recommend you as the first to be the vice leader."

Jin Jianchuan smiled, making no attempt to hide his ambition.

One day he will become the leader of the Guardian Alliance.

Having reached his level of cultivation, his ambitions extend far beyond mere power.

His master, known as the Sword Saint, was a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator who had been in seclusion for many years, pursuing the path to the Divine Transformation realm, but he was never able to take that final step.

He believed he was quite talented, but he was definitely no match for his master.

But his arrogance and ambition would never allow him to become just a second Sword Saint in the future. After all, which cultivator who has reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm is not a person with a firm Dao heart?

As the saying goes, every cultivator has their own strengths.

Since his talent couldn't compare to his master's, he decided to follow the path of these top-tier powerful forces.

They relied on their immense power to supply themselves with cultivation resources.

His ambition and lust for power are real, as are his desire to pave the way for himself.

If power is truly useless, why would the Great Jin Dynasty, the righteous and demonic factions, and the Azure Sea Palace in the Abyss Sea establish power?

……

Time flies like an arrow. Five years have passed since the appearance of a Buddhist Nascent Soul cultivator who was suspected of killing a demonic Nascent Soul cultivator.

The most powerful force in this world is not the Nascent Soul cultivator, nor the legendary Divine Transformation Heavenly Lord, but the relentless passage of time.

Whether you are a Nascent Soul cultivator or a Deity Transformation cultivator, you will eventually become a fleeting memory as time goes by.

During his five years in Yinshan, Lin Chang'an gained a clearer understanding of this point.

"The turmoil caused by the appearance of this Nascent Soul cultivator in Buddhism seems to have been buried in the dust of time in just five years, and no one mentions it anymore."

Lin Chang'an, who appeared in the market, sighed inwardly.

He was different from others, after all, he had secretly cultivated this Buddhist Nascent Soul, so he would naturally pay more attention to this aspect.

As a result, the cultivation world is forgetful, or rather, everyone is more concerned with immediate interests.

In just five short years, the deeds of this Buddhist Nascent Soul cultivator were forgotten, becoming merely idle gossip among lower-level cultivators.

However, although the major forces have not made it clear in the past five years, Lin Chang'an has learned about the cultivators who have disappeared without a trace and the sudden transfer of a certain personal disciple through information such as these.

Nobody's a fool. It seems that the major powers have uncovered quite a few spies from both the righteous and demonic paths, as well as those who have been bribed.

"However, it's been almost ten years. This Ice Butterfly True Monarch made a vow against inner demons back then!"

Lin Chang'an looked puzzled. He wasn't in a hurry, after all, he didn't believe that this Ice Butterfly True Monarch would really dare to break his oath.

【Lifespan: 314/1027】

[Realm Level: Late Golden Core (88/100)]

In the years since he came to Yinshan, he has not neglected his cultivation. After all, the spiritual energy here is abundant, and there is usually plenty of food and drink. If it weren't for his focus on forming his Nascent Soul, he would have succeeded.

Ordinary Core Formation cultivators really don't want to leave this place.

"My cultivation has been steadily improving. No wonder these geniuses in the cultivation world can form their Nascent Souls at over two hundred years old. It's just that I was late in condensing this Profound Heaven Spiritual Body."

Only by experiencing the cultivation speed of a genius can one understand how vast the gap is.

Compared to a top-tier spiritual body like him, many slightly weaker cultivators, even after finally reaching the late stage of Core Formation, also encounter the problem of their cultivation progressing almost to a standstill.

These Nascent Soul cultivators have their own inherent qualities, as well as various other factors such as their cultivation techniques and hidden physical injuries.

However, Lin Chang'an sighed with emotion, realizing that he had already caught up with the team, which was only a little over 300. If he hadn't wasted time in the early stages, he would probably have been a prodigy himself.

It's not entirely impossible to try achieving infancy at over two hundred years old.

"It has been more than 30 years since I left the Demon Beast Sea Abyss. If this Fellow Daoist Ni Chang had been able to unleash her talent back then, she might have already reached the Nascent Soul stage."

At this moment, Lin Chang'an sat upright in the restaurant, thinking of these old friends, and couldn't help but look in the direction of the Demon Beast Sea Abyss.

The front part of Yun Yao's soul lamp flickered intermittently for several months before returning to normal, which secretly relieved him.

He guessed that Yun Yao must have encountered something in the secret realm, but according to the Soul Lamp, she was alright in the end.

There was also Lao Hu, and Xuan Yin Pavilion. In the end, Lin Chang'an sighed softly.

"Son!"

Just then, the sword attendant appeared behind them, accompanied by more than thirty Foundation Establishment cultivators and this Core Formation cultivator surnamed Yuan.

"Brother Xiao, everything is ready and the market has been handed over. We can return to the sect now."

The Core Formation cultivator surnamed Yuan had a big smile on his face. He was reluctant to leave Yinshan Market, but he also looked forward to returning to his sect.

After all, such a big thing had happened in the sect before, so they were also a little worried.

But later, news spread that the sect had ordered them to be appeased.

Their current preparations are due to the fact that the sect arranged for new cultivators to take over the garrison two months ago, and they naturally chose to return.

Meanwhile, the border of Yinshan is stable, so there's no need for three Golden Core cultivators; otherwise, it would be too wasteful.

The two cultivators who will take over for them this time are Core Formation cultivators, one in the middle stage of Core Formation and the other in the early stage of Core Formation.

"Alright, let's return to the sect."

Lin Chang'an showed no reluctance, calmly nodded, and led the group back towards the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.

However, on his way back, he finally received a communication talisman from the Ice Butterfly True Monarch.

On the way back, Lin Chang'an used an avatar to impersonate himself, and with the sword attendant by his side, no one noticed anything amiss.

Meanwhile, his true form secretly traveled to a market town a hundred miles away from the sect, the same place where they had last met.

……

Fangshi.

Inside the familiar private room of the restaurant, Ice Butterfly True Lord stood calmly, having been waiting there for quite some time.

Lin Chang'an searched the area around the market several times before entering the trading location.

“Fellow Daoist Bingdie, the ten-year agreement has come to an end. It seems that you are certain of your agreement.”

As Lin Chang'an pushed open the door and entered the private room, he had already used a secret technique to merge with the woman in red, becoming a genuine Nascent Soul cultivator.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the Ice Butterfly Fairy, whom she hadn't seen for many years, gave a faint, mocking smile.

"I wonder if I should address you as a certain master of the righteous path, or something else?"

These words clearly indicate that the Ice Butterfly True Monarch deduced that the Buddhist Nascent Soul cultivator who traded with him back then was probably the same one who appeared in Yinshan Market five years ago.

Lin Chang'an wasn't surprised, after all, he had shown a hint of Buddha's light during the previous transaction, even though he had the idea of ​​making a big splash.

But more than anything, he wanted to tell the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect that he had no ill intentions, that everyone's purpose was actually the same, and that the righteous path did not want you to cause chaos.

Your Ten Thousand Poisons Sect is currently in a weakened state and has no desire for turmoil.

"Why should the fairy mind a title? After all, we have the same goal, and the transaction is beneficial to both of us."

Lin Chang'an did not deny his Buddhist identity, but he could also sense that the Ice Butterfly Fairy was somewhat unwilling, or felt that she had been taken advantage of.

As expected, Fairy Ice Butterfly cursed inwardly at their shameless faces. Sure enough, Uncle Cheng was right; they were a bunch of shameless bald monks.

They are only interested in what benefits them, yet they are still so greedy.

Lin Chang'an sighed inwardly, realizing he had suffered a loss. He had been so focused on profiting from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect that he had essentially done the righteous path a great favor for nothing.

By that logic, the righteous path should owe him a favor.

He will definitely seek to repay this favor when the opportunity arises; he can't afford to suffer a loss.

"Master, what skillful methods!"

With a mocking smile, the Ice Butterfly Fairy slowly took out a jade box from her storage bag.

"Although we were prepared, we didn't expect this person to have a life-saving ability. Although we eliminated many traitors, we also suffered heavy losses."

At this point, the Ice Butterfly True Monarch coughed weakly twice, seemingly to show the other party that he was injured.

It's practically saying outright, do you righteous Buddhist sects lack these resources?
Anyway, your biggest goal is to keep our Protectorate Alliance from chaos. Right now, my Ten Thousand Poisons Sect is very weak. If something really happens, it will be detrimental to your goals.

This blatant behavior left Lin Chang'an speechless; this woman was indeed a natural actress.

If they were truly righteous, they might hesitate. A weak Ten Thousand Poisons Sect could easily provoke conflict among other forces, which would be detrimental to them.

But the problem is, he doesn't need that Nascent Soul Pill.

"Fellow Daoist is too kind. With the fairy's talent, once she recovers from her injuries, she will surely be famous in the Southern Region once again."

Lin Chang'an smiled insincerely, secretly thinking that if there was a plan, it wouldn't be a bad idea to heal the Ice Butterfly Fairy's injuries a little.

After all, in the years since he joined the sect, although there has been some mutual exploitation between them, they have also gotten along well, and he has indeed benefited a lot from it.

Seeing that this bald monk was unyielding, Ice Butterfly True Monarch's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and in the end, the jade box still ended up in his hands.

As the jade box was opened, a Nascent Soul Pill that Lin Chang'an had longed for appeared before his eyes, and he was immediately overjoyed.

The Nascent Soul Pill that I had been planning for so long has finally come into my possession.

With everything now ready, all that's left is to wait for my cultivation to reach perfection, and then, with the help of the sect's spiritual grounds, to form my Nascent Soul.

Suppressing his excitement, Lin Chang'an calmly put the Nascent Soul Pill into his storage bag.

However, just as he was about to get up and take his leave, the Ice Butterfly True Monarch still wanted to find out something and spoke up:

"Fellow Daoist, two years ago in a secret cave in the Southern Region, there was a female cultivator who had just formed her Nascent Soul stage and fought a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator to a standstill. Could this person also be a member of your righteous path?"

Upon hearing the Ice Butterfly True Monarch's question, Lin Chang'an was taken aback, as he had no idea about such a thing.

However, according to the other party's description, this secret cave is indeed quite remote, and it is located at the border between the demonic and righteous paths.

The description of this mysterious female cultivator did cause him a moment of shock.

This mysterious cultivator from the Netherworld has actually reached the Nascent Soul stage. However, considering the person's enigmatic nature and ability to casually trade Nascent Soul stage items, he wasn't too shocked.

But how could someone who had just formed his Nascent Soul stage be able to fight against a veteran Nascent Soul cultivator without being defeated? That was what shocked him the most.

Having the memories of two genuine Nascent Soul cultivators, he was acutely aware of the difficulty of fighting beyond one's level.

The reason why Ice Butterfly True Monarch was famous in the Southern Region was because he encountered a worthy opponent.

"It seems that you know this fellow Daoist."

Lin Chang'an's shocked expression naturally did not escape the eyes of the Ice Butterfly True Monarch, which made her grit her teeth inwardly.

There is not a single good person among the righteous and demonic paths.

"Fellow Daoist is overthinking it."

After getting up, Lin Chang'an shook his head calmly, then reminded him:
"This person's origins are mysterious, and I know nothing about them either. If you know, then I might as well trade this Nascent Soul Pill with you."

Before leaving, Lin Chang'an used the same tactic to retaliate against his opponent.

This made Ice Butterfly True Monarch feel aggrieved. If she really knew, she would really want to trade back this Nascent Soul Pill.

From the moment the other party arrived to their departure, only a few moments passed, leaving Ice Butterfly True Monarch with a helpless expression.

"These bald monks are just as Uncle Cheng said, acting with extreme caution, while secretly stirring up war."

These righteous people aren't truly kind-hearted. They seem to be thinking of the peace of the Guardian Alliance, but aren't they also trying to provoke a conflict between the demonic path and the Guardian Alliance?

"However, the sect has suffered heavy losses this time."

Before leaving, the Ice Butterfly True Monarch's face paled slightly. Although she had been deliberately putting on an act, it was also to conceal her injuries.

The incident involving Teng Changfeng has effectively cut off the sect's path to producing another Nascent Soul cultivator.

His senior brother, Master Cheng, had already begun planning a way out for the sect.
