Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 415 Jealousy Burns in the Heart, A Visitor from the Yellow Sands [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Despite the biting wind and swirling snow, a soft laugh could be heard coming from inside the Nascent Soul True Monarch's pavilion.

Two Foundation Establishment female cultivators who had just delivered the spiritual fruits respectfully walked out of the pavilion, their cheerful laughter still echoing in the air.

"Senior sister, I didn't expect that Elder Xiao could please the Supreme Elder so much."

"You're new here, so of course you wouldn't know. It was Elder Xiao who went out to guard the area for six years. Actually, he had a very good relationship with Lord Zhenjun before that."

"Hehe, no wonder I've heard people say before that Elder Xiao in our sect is handsome. If I could find a Core Formation Daoist partner, I would be overjoyed for the rest of my life."

"You silly girl, you've only just reached the Foundation Establishment stage and you're already thinking about beautiful things, like finding a Golden Core cultivator as a partner. Do you think it's that easy for you to become a Core Formation cultivator?"

Two beautiful Foundation Establishment maidens left with playful laughter, unaware of the figure standing in the wind and snow behind the rocks outside the cave.

This person was Teng Changfeng, and at this moment his face was full of resentment and anger.

The promised healing turned into a whole host of things, with maids preparing spirit fruits, spirit tea, and spirit wine. Is this really healing?
Who could produce such cheerful laughter while healing wounds?

"You surnamed Xiao! I took care of you in the sect back then, but I never expected you to be so scheming and cunning! And my senior sister, just because my golden core was defiled..."

You turn a blind eye when I lose my potential, how despicable! You bunch of scoundrels!

With his path forward blocked, Teng Changfeng's mind had long since become unbalanced. At this moment, he felt that everyone he knew had changed, and he now believed them to be a group of people who only cared about profit.

When he had the potential to reach the Nascent Soul stage, everyone was incredibly supportive, but after the incident, they all became indifferent.

Despite the successive blows, he did not break his Dao heart, which is already a testament to his unwavering resolve.

An ordinary cultivator would have collapsed long ago after their golden core was defiled.

"I still have my master. As a mid-grade fourth-level alchemist, my master must have a way to heal my injuries!"

Perhaps it was because there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart that Teng Changfeng, like a drowning man grasping at a straw, did not completely despair about the future.

At this moment, he secretly vowed that if his master could help him recover, he would obediently go into seclusion to form his Nascent Soul and never trust these demonic villains again.

"Once I become a Nascent Soul cultivator, you surnamed Xiao! I will definitely extract your soul and refine your spirit, and you too, Senior Sister! I will make you watch my back and live a life of regret!"

Teng Changfeng made a silent vow, his eyes turning somewhat bloodshot and menacing.

If Elder Cheng were here at this moment, he would surely be able to see that Teng Changfeng has become obsessed and developed inner demons.

Meanwhile, inside the pavilion, Ice Butterfly True Monarch chuckled softly as he discussed the customs and culture of the Demon Beast Sea Abyss with Lin Chang'an.

Seemingly sensing something, it glanced silently outside the cave.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, and being outside his own cave, and with Teng Changfeng under their constant surveillance, his every move was under their watchful eyes.

She could naturally sense the twisted hatred in Teng Changfeng's eyes outside.

Ultimately, the person who cut off her path also deserves some credit; killing them so easily would be too lenient.

As the saying goes, women and petty men are the hardest to deal with. She never considered herself a gentleman, and being a woman herself, she naturally wouldn't let it go so easily.

"The feeling of having one's path cut off is just the beginning."

Ice Butterfly True Monarch remained indifferent, while Lin Chang'an opposite him chuckled and recounted some interesting anecdotes about the Demon Beast Sea Abyss.

Although he dared not use his Nascent Soul level divine sense in front of a Nascent Soul cultivator, his powerful perception made it clear that this Fellow Daoist Teng was right outside the cave.

Combined with the fact that the other party's golden core was defiled, and the current situation, he was able to analyze the situation in a fairly good way.

I couldn't help but feel sorry for this Fellow Daoist Teng, and at the same time I understood why this True Monarch Ice Butterfly was chatting with him so intimately.

While there was a desire to help him heal his injuries, there was probably also a desire to annoy this fellow practitioner of the Vine Sect.

Indeed, one should never easily offend a woman, especially a Nascent Soul True Lord.

After six years apart, a casual chat revealed no barriers between them, especially given Ice Butterfly True Monarch's deliberate approach.

Lin Chang'an also wanted to try to form his Nascent Soul in the future and needed to use the sect's spiritual land, so he was naturally willing to do so.

One was willing to give and the other was willing to receive; the two seemed to be very close.

After chatting for a while, Lin Chang'an readily cooperated with the Ice Butterfly Fairy and began the healing process.

……

Half a day later.

Because of the removal of the cold toxins from the body, a cloud of cold air filled the attic.

In a daze, the Ice Butterfly Fairy, pale-faced and with trembling eyelashes, slowly opened her weak eyes.

"Thank you very much, Junior Brother Xiao."

Her soft voice seemed to carry an endless weariness, and at this moment, Lin Chang'an was also exhausted from the excessive consumption of his magical power.

"Senior Sister Bingdie, you're too kind."

The cold mist was extremely intense; even the robes worn by the two were covered in frost. At such close range, they could even see the frost droplets on each other's eyelashes.

Especially this Ice Butterfly Fairy, whose breathtaking beauty of ice and jade is tinged with a lingering sickness.

Her pale lips, the weariness and fragility that she couldn't hide in her eyes and brows, were like a fine mark on a piece of exquisite ice jade, making one's heartstrings tremble and giving rise to endless pity, while also adding a touch of fragility and tragic beauty.

Coupled with the hazy mist all around, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart. He then took a deep breath to calm himself down and took out a high-grade spirit stone to prepare to restore his magic power.

With such a breathtakingly beautiful woman before him, it would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted. The problem was that she was a Nascent Soul cultivator, so he truly dared not make a move.

This scene was naturally witnessed by Fairy Ice Butterfly, which made her smile slightly. After all, no woman is immune to beauty, even Nascent Soul cultivators.

Otherwise, most female cultivators in the cultivation world wouldn't bother trying to maintain their youthful appearance.

"Junior Brother Xiao, have a cup of wine to warm yourself up and drive away the chill."

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, the power he extracted from his body, even with only a small amount of his magical energy leaking out, has created the current situation.

Even ordinary Core Formation cultivators would feel the chill, let alone Lin Chang'an, who had been circulating his magic power to help the Ice Butterfly True Monarch heal.

Seeing the chill emanating from the pavilion, the Ice Butterfly Fairy smiled apologetically. With a wave of her hand, she activated the array within the cave.

A sense of warmth emerged, and the visible chill in the attic began to dissipate. The frost on the ground, the jade slip, and the building began to slowly recede.

Then, the Ice Butterfly Fairy took the wine gourd from her waist and poured a cup of fiery red wine into the glass like a thread.

The jade cup, which was originally covered with a layer of frost, instantly exuded warmth.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Bingdie."

Looking at the cup of fire-attribute Flame Wine in front of him, Lin Chang'an didn't pretend. He smiled, picked up the cup, and drank it all in one gulp.

A warm current began to circulate at the entrance, causing Lin Chang'an's weak cheeks to flush slightly, and his internal magic power recovered somewhat, no longer as weak as before.

It's true that he expended his magical power, but he couldn't recover in front of this Ice Butterfly True Monarch. He even deliberately suppressed his powerful recovery ability.

Seeing that Lin Chang'an wasn't worried about her poisoning or using witchcraft, and that she trusted him so much that he drank it all in one gulp, Bingdie Zhenjun couldn't help but smile.

If Lin Chang'an knew what the other party was thinking, he would be speechless, even though he was not afraid of these toxins because of his physical condition.

But more importantly, he knew that if a Nascent Soul cultivator poisoned him, it was because they wanted to maintain appearances. Even if he knew it was poisonous, he would still have to drink it.

As for leaving, he was still confident that he could escape from the hands of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Chatting, healing, and enjoying the spiritual wine, the two seemed to have returned to their familiar relationship from six years ago.

"Junior Brother Xiao, how are your preparations for Nascent Soul formation going?"

After taking a sip of the fiery spirit wine to warm his body, Ice Butterfly True Monarch lazily smoothed his dark hair and asked Lin Chang'an about the matter of forming a Nascent Soul.

Lin Chang'an did not hesitate, after all, he was planning to use the sect's spiritual veins to form his Nascent Soul in the future.

"Although my cultivation has improved over the years, I have still encountered some problems. It will probably take another twenty or thirty years to reach the peak of the Core Formation stage."

Lin Chang'an spoke sincerely, and he was not making things up.

The higher one's cultivation level, the more difficult it becomes to improve; he has already felt the slowdown in his cultivation progress.

"As for the spiritual object for forming the infant, with the help of my senior sister in the previous transaction of a piece of tribulation wood, I am quite confident that it will be successful."

Seeing Lin Chang'an's sincere tone, Ice Butterfly True Monarch was speechless.

These rogue cultivators are indeed all incredibly poor and ruthless.

No wonder it is often said in the cultivation world that disciples of sects dare not attempt to form a Nascent Soul without having one or two Nascent Soul-forming spiritual objects, while these rogue cultivators dare to take the plunge as long as their cultivation level is high enough.

Despite it being just a piece of fourth-order lightning tribulation wood, a low-grade item among Nascent Soul spiritual objects, he wore a satisfied smile and looked full of confidence.

I really don't know if it's because they're not afraid of death, or because their resolve in the Dao is unwavering.

Lin Chang'an naturally knew that the other party would not believe him completely, but he would never have expected that he had even prepared the Nascent Soul Pill.

"I've heard that the sect makes a fourth-tier Concentration Incense. Junior Brother plans to exchange for one before he forms his Nascent Soul, using his sect contribution points."

Lin Chang'an appeared humble, making no attempt to conceal his preparations for Nascent Soul formation.

His idea was very simple: to cultivate diligently within the sect until his cultivation was perfected, and then temporarily borrow a spiritual vein within the sect to form his Nascent Soul.

On the surface, he prepared a tribulation wood and a fourth-order spirit-concentrating incense stick. This might not seem like much to these Nascent Soul sects, but if it were outside and these rogue cultivators found out, they would definitely be envious.

Luxurious! So luxurious!
In the cultivation world, it's considered lucky for a rogue cultivator to have even one Nascent Soul Formation Spiritual Object when they reach the Nascent Soul stage, yet Lin Chang'an openly possesses two.

After hearing this, Ice Butterfly True Monarch fell silent for a moment. She then looked up and saw the handsome face of Junior Brother Xiao reflected in her beautiful eyes, and couldn't help but sigh softly in her heart.

"Five years from now, there will be a Nascent Soul cultivator trade fair in White Wall City. If Junior Brother Xiao has the time, would you be willing to go with Senior Sister?"
I'm confident that this trip will be fruitful.

The Ice Butterfly Fairy spoke her last sentence with great earnestness, and even a fool could understand the implication behind it.

Lin Chang'an was stunned upon hearing this; he had botched his performance!
He had already prepared to form a spirit object and was just waiting to cultivate in peace.

What kind of mess is this? Isn't this just asking for trouble?

Although different Nascent Soul items have synergistic effects, he already had the Nascent Soul Pill, and he wasn't stupid enough to not understand the implied meaning of this Ice Butterfly True Monarch.

For the Myriad Poisons Sect, going to the auction was naturally to collect some alchemy materials, since the sect still had a mid-grade fourth-level alchemist.

Despite this, as a rogue cultivator, upon hearing the news, Lin Chang'an immediately feigned excitement, but then forced himself to ask, seemingly to confirm its veracity.

"Senior Sister Bingdie, is this really true!?"

Seeing Lin Chang'an's moved expression, the Ice Butterfly True Monarch, with his sickly beauty, couldn't help but smile.

“Junior Brother Xiao, the Nascent Soul Pill may be difficult for others, but it is much easier for the sect.”

"Besides, hasn't my junior brother already collected quite a few materials for Nascent Soul Pills? Trading a Nascent Soul Fruit, the main ingredient for a Nascent Soul Pill, at the auction shouldn't be a problem."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but show a troubled expression. He was both delighted and excited, but also somewhat embarrassed and unsure of how to broach the subject.

Upon seeing this, the understanding Ice Butterfly True Monarch naturally understood the predicament of Junior Brother Xiao.

"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you with healing my injuries over the years. As for the Nascent Soul Fruit, I still have quite a few spirit stones. I'll lend them to you for now."

Having said all that, Lin Chang'an naturally showed a happy expression, but inwardly he was secretly alarmed.

It seems the sect's losses are greater than he imagined; otherwise, they wouldn't be trying so hard to win him over as an outsider cultivator.

Combined with the intelligence he gathered, in just a hundred years, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect not only produced the Nascent Soul prodigy Ice Butterfly True Monarch, but there was also a cultivator preparing to form his Nascent Soul before his arrival.

However, I heard that he failed due to the tribulation of inner demons, and that the Nascent Soul Pill prepared for Teng Changfeng was intercepted by him.

In other words, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect planned to form the Nascent Soul stage three times in just a hundred years.

There was also the turmoil back then, which caused considerable losses to the sect. Later, when this Ice Butterfly True Monarch was injured, the sect must have purchased a lot of high-level spiritual items to heal him.

When you calculate it all carefully, the resources consumed are quite substantial.

Is the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect weak?
They're not weak at all, they're just unlucky.

If it were any other Nascent Soul sect, even if they didn't collapse after expending so much energy, their strength would shrink significantly.

As a result, the power of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect remained unshaken, only experiencing a period of weakness due to a lack of successors.

"Thank you, senior sister."

All of this analysis happened in the blink of an eye, and Lin Chang'an immediately showed a look of gratitude.

Regardless of their motives, it's true that the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect didn't mistreat him.

After Lin Chang'an recovered some of his magical power and was about to take his leave, he was invited by the Ice Butterfly True Monarch to play a few games of chess before departing.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Chang'an returned to his sect and spent three years cultivating in peace.

During these three years, Lin Chang'an devoted almost all his attention to cultivation, except for visiting True Monarch Ice Butterfly every month to heal his injuries.

He spends the rest of his time either cultivating or taking care of the Yin Sha Corpse Puppet in the back mountain.

At the same time, the three avatars did not neglect any of their skills.

【Lifespan: 317/1028】

[Realm Level: Late Golden Core (90/100)]

Inside the cave, Lin Chang'an looked at his cultivation progress and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Sure enough, the higher one's cultivation level, the more difficult it becomes to cultivate."

Otherwise, with so many Core Formation cultivators in the world, and quite a few in the late Core Formation stage, why are there so few cultivators who are called Nascent Soul seeds?

There are indeed cultivators in the late Core Formation stage within the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, but their cultivation has encountered bottlenecks or stagnated before reaching the peak of Core Formation.

These reasons, besides one's own talent, are also related to cultivation techniques, hidden injuries to the body, and whether one has used secret techniques to deplete potential, among many other factors.

"With this newly formed Xuan Tian Spiritual Body, my body's self-healing ability has greatly increased, and I never have to worry about hidden injuries."

This undoubtedly saved Lin Chang'an a lot of energy, and it was also the point that satisfied him the most.

"However, this progress is already quite fast. After accompanying this Ice Butterfly Fairy to an auction in two years, I will go into seclusion upon my return." Lin Chang'an was also helpless. He naturally did not want to cause more trouble outside, but the problem was that if he refused the temptation of the Nascent Soul Spiritual Object, wouldn't that imply that there was something wrong with him?

"However, after three years, I have finally cracked the code of formations."

[Tier 4 Low-Grade Array Master (Beginner 2/100)]

He mastered five major skills: formations, talismans, alchemy, weapon crafting, and puppetry. He was the first to break through to the fourth rank in formations.

This brought a smile to Lin Chang'an's face, undoubtedly increasing his strength.

It wasn't that he didn't work hard in other areas, but rather that among these five skills, he received the most inheritance in formation techniques.

The six elders of Bihai Palace gifted us with their insights into formations, and we also received insights into breaking formations from the Yinhun Sect, which were at the fourth level.

This is why he is ahead in the art of formations, but temporarily lags behind in the art of talismans.

[Tier 3 High-Grade Talisman Master (Grandmaster 4876/5000)]

[Tier 3 High-Grade Alchemist (Grandmaster 3545/5000)]

[Tier 3 High-Grade Refiner (Grandmaster 845/5000)]

[Tier 3 Mid-Grade Puppet Master (Proficiency 350/1000)]

Looking at the progress of his other four third-tier skills, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but nod in approval.

"Three high-grade level three skills and one mid-grade level three skill. If word gets out, it will surely attract covetous eyes."

The reason he made such rapid progress in the art of talismans was because he was one of the first to come into contact with it. Unfortunately, after arriving in the Southern Region, he was so focused on planning to form his Nascent Soul that he didn't have time to seek out some fourth-tier talisman inheritances.

As for alchemy and weapon crafting, not to mention the lack of inheritance, the more important reason is that he clearly knows that even if he has cultivated all five skills to the fourth level, what good will it do?

Until one becomes a Nascent Soul cultivator, everything else is just a mirage.

"Once you become a Nascent Soul cultivator, these inheritances are not too difficult to obtain. Moreover, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect originated from the Spirit Control lineage of the Six Demonic Sects."

"Regarding its lineage, I dare not speak of anything else, but its alchemy skills definitely possess a fourth-tier inheritance."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but smile. He should be preparing to form his Nascent Soul now.

However, the breakthrough in the formation provides him with another layer of protection when he forms his Nascent Soul.

"At the auction two years later, I can secretly purchase some materials related to formations to upgrade the formations I have, not to mention directly reaching the fourth level."

Reaching near-fourth rank will be enough to handle the upcoming Nascent Soul stage.

However, just as Lin Chang'an was peacefully cultivating, something interrupted his daily routine of focused practice.

……

"Have you heard? True Lord Huangsha has come to pay a visit in person."

"True Lord Huangsha? How come I've never heard of him before?"

"Actually, it's not that you're ignorant, junior brother, but that this True Monarch Huangsha comes from the vast yellow sands, which is tens of thousands of miles away from our Dao Protection Alliance."

"Amidst the endless yellow sands, there are actually Nascent Soul cultivators in that place?!"

A Nascent Soul True Monarch visited the sect and was treated with great importance.

More importantly, this True Lord Huangsha had already attracted the attention of many in the Protectorate Alliance on his way to visit.

Lin Chang'an, who happened to be emerging from seclusion at that moment, was taken aback upon receiving the news.

"They are cultivators who have come from thousands of miles of desert, and they are even Nascent Soul stage experts."

Although I've never been to this place, it's also incredibly familiar to me.

Besides the Cloud and Mist Mountains, the vast expanse of yellow sand acts as an insurmountable barrier, keeping the seven kingdoms at bay.

Back when there were seven kingdoms, the territory of the Kingdom of Shayun bordered the vast yellow sands.

It is said that there are also cultivators in this vast desert, and even small tribes and kingdoms that rely on oases.

The further one goes towards the Seven Kingdoms, the more barren the spiritual energy becomes. In addition, a terrifying black wind blows year-round on the way to the Seven Kingdoms, which can be considered a natural barrier.

Therefore, most of the cultivators within this vast expanse of yellow sand have established trade relations with some countries in the southern region.

The seven kingdoms, due to their scarcity of spiritual energy, rarely clashed with the cultivators within the vast desert.

However, this location is already very close to the seven kingdoms, which made Lin Chang'an feel a sense of closeness.

"The cultivators who live on this vast expanse of yellow sand rely on oases to establish tribes, and are therefore also known as the Yellow Sand Tribe."

Although being referred to as a tribe by outsiders is a derogatory term, their actual strength is not weak. After all, they have a Nascent Soul True Monarch in charge, making them equivalent to a tribal group on the grasslands.

Lin Chang'an looked at the voice transmission device in his hand and muttered to himself. He had long heard that the Wanli Huangsha Tribe and the Wandu Sect had a very good relationship, and upon closer examination, he could understand it.

This vast expanse of yellow sand is teeming with poisonous insects, which coincides with the interests of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, leading to extensive trade between the two groups.

The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect occupies a spiritual land, which is rich in various spiritual plants and medicinal herbs, while the Ten Thousand Miles of Yellow Sands tribe lacks such resources.

Both parties appear to be experts in drug use, but due to the distance between them and the lack of direct conflict of interest, the current situation has arisen.

"Elder Cheng emerged from seclusion to personally welcome this Nascent Soul True Monarch and summoned the Core Formation elders who had also emerged from seclusion to the main hall."

Lin Chang'an, thinking about the telepathic message he had just received, didn't dwell on it. One reason was to give face to this Nascent Soul True Monarch Cheng, which he naturally had to do.

Another one is Elder Cheng Taishang, who has been in seclusion for many years. He also wants to see for himself whether the injury is real or not.

However, when he emerged from seclusion, the sword attendant was in seclusion. Lin Chang'an did not disturb him and flew towards the sect's main hall.

……

On his way there, Lin Chang'an also encountered an old acquaintance, Yuan Hong.

During their journey together, Lin Chang'an also inquired about the relationship between the two.

Elder Yuan Hong didn't seem to care about anything, since it wasn't exactly a secret anyway.

"In fact, it is difficult for ordinary cultivators to survive in this vast desert. Only those born and raised here can get used to it. In addition, the desert is extremely mysterious."

Therefore, some Nascent Soul cultivators lost interest in this harsh, endless desert environment.

"And this True Lord Huangsha was a close friend whom Elder Cheng made during his travels when he was still in the Core Formation stage, which is why they have this connection."

After listening to Yuan Hong's explanation, Lin Chang'an suddenly realized that there was another layer of relationship involved.

Just as the two arrived outside the main hall, they could hear hearty laughter coming from inside.

Inside the main hall, Elder Cheng, with his white hair and beard and a prosperous appearance, was laughing heartily with a ruddy complexion, standing next to someone dressed in strange clothes.

The gaunt old man in the yellow robe was none other than True Lord Huangsha, with whom he had a pleasant conversation.

"Come, come, these are all Core Formation elders from within the sect."

When Lin Chang'an and his group of Core Formation elders entered to pay their respects, Elder Cheng simply waved his hand casually and then introduced himself to his old friend beside him.

This True Lord Huangsha gives off a sinister feeling, but he still shows a hint of concern when facing his old friend.

"What are you all standing there for? Haven't you met these young friends yet?"

Inside the main hall, there was a row of seven cultivators dressed in strange clothes, five men and two women.

The men all wore headscarves, had thick beards, bronze skin, and stood barefoot. Their feet were unusually large, giving them a rugged appearance.

These two female cultivators were tall and slender, dressed in rather revealing clothing, with exquisite gold ornaments adorning their bodies, arms, and even feet.

The exotic style of the clothing was quite stunning when I first saw it.

After Huangsha Zhenjun spoke, the seven members of the Huangsha tribe stood up and respectfully bowed to the group of Core Formation cultivators from the Wan Du Sect who had entered.

"I've met all of you fellow Taoists."

Upon seeing this, Elder Cheng Da smiled and explained:
"These seven young friends are all disciples of Fellow Daoist Huangsha. You must treat them well and not disgrace our sect's hospitality."

"I've met all of you fellow Taoists."

Lin Chang'an and the others also bowed modestly.

Both sides then took their seats, but secretly they kept sizing each other up.

These male cultivators from the Yellow Sand Tribe were all quite rugged, and they drank the offered spiritual tea like cattle chewing on peonies, which seemed somewhat comical.

But we are all Core Formation cultivators who have cultivated for hundreds of years, how could we lack such basic manners?

Moreover, the elegance you display while enjoying tea might be perceived as effeminate by others.

Therefore, neither side openly nor inwardly looked down on the other; on the contrary, they were secretly assessing each other's strength.

In the world of cultivation, strength ultimately prevails; everything else is just empty talk.

"Haha, you old codger, I thought you were about to die, but I didn't expect you to still be alive. But why are you still so thin? When you die, you'll be skin and bones and won't be of much value."

"You think everyone is like you, fatso? I thought you would be the first to leave. I came here especially to see you one last time."

At the head of the main hall, two Nascent Soul True Monarchs engaged in a fierce verbal battle, bickering like ordinary hooligans. This scene perfectly illustrated that their relationship was indeed very good.

It was not a superficial exchange of interests.

"Alright, you bald yellow-haired man, you've come all this way, what's troubling you? Tell me, I'm not as kind as you are."

Elder Cheng Da, with a sullen expression, blew his beard and stared at his old friend with wide eyes as he spoke.

The Yellow Sand True Lord, who was wearing a headscarf, also stared wide-eyed and actually called him bald.

"You white-haired fatso, I was just worried you'd close your eyes. While you're still warm and breathing, refine a few Nascent Soul Pills for my disciple."

"What if you really pass away one day? I'll have to find other alchemists, and I'll suffer a huge loss."

Huangsha Zhenjun has a sinister appearance, but when he gets sarcastic, he is just as good, as if he wants to take advantage of any opportunity.

With the two Nascent Soul True Monarchs arguing above, the crowd below naturally dared not utter a word.

However, the people weren't stupid; they gleaned some information from their conversation.

This True Monarch Huangsha did indeed come to find Elder Cheng to refine the Nascent Soul Pill. His grand visit also gave the impression of bolstering the prestige of the Myriad Poisons Sect.

It was practically telling outsiders that although the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect was in a weak position, it wasn't without allies.

This made Lin Chang'an nod secretly. Sure enough, how could an old-fashioned Nascent Soul sect that had been passed down for thousands of years have no tricks up its sleeve?

"You old poisoner, the cost of my alchemy is not so simple. Quickly take out the treasure."

Among the crowd, everyone seemed to be deep in thought. Not only the elders of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, but also the seven Core Formation cultivators of the Yellow Sand Tribe had their eyes flashing.

"They really are all old foxes."

Lin Chang'an realized at this moment that, in addition to boosting morale externally, it was also a way to reassure people internally.

In short, don't think that just because the sect is currently facing a period of transition and weakness, people are restless. The sect has a lot of resources and strength.

The conversation between the two Nascent Soul True Monarchs clearly involved several third-tier desert poisonous insect monsters that had been captured alive.

These mature third-tier demonic beasts are difficult to tame even if captured, but they have many uses for the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.

Whether used to cultivate poisonous insects or as a trump card in case of danger, it is extremely useful.

"Fatty Cheng, these seven disciples are the elites of our Huangsha tribe this generation, and each of them is in the late stage of Core Formation."

With the addition of their spirit pets, and by joining forces to unleash secret techniques, they would be able to put up a fight even against ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

Then, the True Lord of Yellow Sand pointed directly at the two people leading the group of seven, a man and a woman, who were also Nascent Soul cultivators from the Yellow Sand tribe.

Elder Cheng naturally understood, and at the same time felt a little envious. This old poison master was really lucky; he had actually cultivated two Nascent Soul seeds in this generation.

Lin Chang'an below remained calm, sipping his tea with a composed expression. Although the Huangsha tribe was an old neighbor of the Seven Kingdoms and practically a part of their hometown, he was still quite at ease.

But ultimately, they weren't familiar with each other, and there was no benefit to befriending them.

"Brother Xiao, actually we have always had marriage alliances with the Huangsha tribe, but these only involve some Foundation Establishment disciples."

Don't let the rugged appearance of these male cultivators from the Yellow Sand Tribe fool you; the female cultivators are all incredibly beautiful.

Hearing Yuan Hong's teasing voice, Lin Chang'an was speechless for a moment, and couldn't help but look up at the person opposite him.

These two are indeed very beautiful, especially the one in the lead, who is stunningly beautiful.

But compared to achieving Nascent Soul, Lin Chang'an remained unmoved.

Similarly, two female cultivators from the seven members of the Huangsha tribe opposite them were also secretly conversing.

“Holy Maiden, the male cultivators outside are much more handsome than those in our tribe. Look at how neatly they comb their hair.”

Especially that Elder Xiao, I heard he's also planning to form his Nascent Soul. He's so handsome, much better than us rough male cultivators who only know how to play with scorpions and snakes all day..."

Hearing her junior sister's disdainful voice, the Golden Sand Saintess, whose brows exuded arrogance, gave a cold snort in annoyance.

"What's the use of being good-looking? In the cultivation world, strength is what matters most in the end. If you like handsome male cultivators, once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, you'll have plenty of strength to capture some male cultivators as your male concubines."

"Holy Maiden, please keep your voice down, lest your master hear you."

Who would have thought that this beautiful female cultivator secretly coveted male cultivators?

"Refine the Nascent Soul Pill."

Lin Chang'an was secretly pondering this, and at the same time, he was a little envious. Everyone said that the Huangsha tribe was poor, but they also had a Nascent Soul True Monarch as their backer.

This wasn't just about bringing disciples to bolster one's reputation; it was also about planning one's own path to Nascent Soul formation.
