Immortality and Cultivation: Starting with Harvesting the Talents of Demonic Beasts

Chapter 271 A Thorough Slaughter, Core Formation Materials (Two Chapters Combined, 8K)

However, Xu Maoling was injured, and his mana was greatly depleted when facing the siege of three cultivators.

The silver-masked cultivator was highly skilled and quickly adapted to his rhythm. His bone sword attacks became increasingly ruthless and cunning, constantly compressing his space to maneuver.

"Hey!"

A cold, sinister sword aura swept past. Xu Maoling was a little too slow to dodge, and his left arm was immediately slashed open with a deep gash that exposed bone, and blood gushed out.

"Hmph!" He grunted, his movements slowing down by a fraction of an inch.

"Now! Jia Er, trap him!"

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the silver-masked cultivator, who shouted sharply.

Upon hearing this, Jia Er immediately shoved the ghost-head shield into the ground, formed a hand seal, and black energy emerged from the shield, wrapping around Xu Maoling's feet like chains!

Xu Maoling felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that once he was entangled by these strange chains and his movements were impaired, he would be doomed!
"fall!"

He roared, ignoring the churning blood and qi within his body, and forcefully activated his magic power. The scythe in his hand drew a condensed arc of light, slashing towards the black qi chains.

"clang!"

A metallic clang rang out as the scythe clashed with the black chains, sending sparks flying. The chains, seemingly incredibly strong, were instantly severed, the black energy dissipating and snapping in two.

In that split second, as he swung his scythe and his body momentarily faltered—

"Your openings are too big!"

The silver-masked cultivator's chilling voice was like a leech clinging to a bone.

His long-awaited sword strike has already arrived!
The pale, bone-like sword energy was so viscous it seemed almost tangible, moving with incredible speed, aimed directly at Xu Maoling's right rib, which was wide open from blocking the black energy chains. If this sword struck, it would instantly cripple or even destroy half of his meridians!
Xu Maoling's hair stood on end. The intense sense of impending death triggered his unleashing of potential. In an impossible moment, he twisted his waist and simultaneously slammed his left hand, fingers pointing like a knife, into his chest.

"puff!"

He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood essence, which sprayed onto the scythe. The scythe then emitted a shrill hum and unleashed a ferocious aura far exceeding its usual power!

"Earthshattering Slash!"

Using the instantaneous power generated by his essence blood, he disregarded the open space on his right side and swung the scythe in the opposite direction at an even faster speed. A huge crescent-shaped blade of light, mixed with earthy yellow spiritual light and blood-red baleful energy, was no longer aimed at the sword energy that was tearing through the air from the silver-masked cultivator, but at the cultivator's body.

It was a fighting style of exchanging injuries for injuries and risking one's life for another!
The silver-masked cultivator hadn't expected the old farmer to be so fierce, and he was unwilling to trade blows with him.

He took out a high-quality second-tier talisman from his storage bag, crushed it to activate it, and it turned into a thick water curtain in front of him. Then he unleashed three more sword beams to block the attack.

At the same time, he retreated abruptly to avoid the enemy's attack.

However, although Xu Maoling had temporarily forced back his strongest opponent, he could no longer keep an eye on his footing!

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Suddenly, several black chains, like venomous snakes, seized the opportunity to coil around his ankles and bind them tightly!

A chilling, bone-chilling power that could freeze spiritual energy instantly spread up the chains, causing his legs to go numb and him to stagger, nearly falling over!
"Haha! They're bound!" Jia Er was overjoyed upon seeing this.

"good chance!"

The silver-masked cultivator's eyes flashed with killing intent again. After regaining his footing, he raised his bone sword once more, its blade locking onto Xu Maoling's throat, whose movements were restricted!
Jia Yi also freed up his hand and unleashed a poisoned short dagger, working with the leader to strike Xu Maoling straight in the back!

With his feet bound and his movements restricted, Xu Maoling had just coughed up blood, and his magical power was surging and chaotic. Facing this attack from both sides, he was truly at his wit's end, and a sense of indescribable despair flashed in his eyes.

"call!"

A blade of light, condensed to its extreme and almost pitch black, emerged silently from the void behind Jia Er, without any fluctuation of spiritual power or leakage of killing intent.

[Hidden Void Blade]!
"Pfft!"

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh is faint yet deadly.

The ecstasy on Jia Er's face froze instantly. He felt a chill in his chest and looked down to see a blood-stained, transparent blade protruding from his chest. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but only gushing blood flowed out.

at the same time--

"boom!"

A black seal, the size of a millstone, jet black in color, with the surface seemingly engraved with the phantoms of mountains and rivers, appeared above Jia Yi's head without warning, like a mountain falling from the heavens, carrying a terrifying power to suppress everything, and crashed down!

The shadow instantly enveloped him!

"What?!" Jia Yi's attention was entirely on Xu Maoling, and he was only surprised when the terrifying pressure was upon him. He looked up in horror and only had time to hastily summon an umbrella-shaped mid-grade spiritual weapon to block the attack.

"clang--!!!"

Amidst the deafening roar, the umbrella-shaped magical artifact, before it could be fully deployed, let out a mournful cry. Jia Yi was struck as if by a heavy blow, his entire body was slammed downwards, his legs sinking deep into the ground, his tiger's mouth split open, blood gushing out, and his internal energy churning violently!

He looked toward the source of the attack with a mixture of shock and anger, only to see Lin Changheng's figure standing quietly on a huge rock not far away, his clothes fluttering, his face calm, only his eyes were as cold as ice.

The enemy's mind was distracted, and their attack lost momentum. Xu Maoling unleashed his magic power, parried the attack, and finally escaped death.

Immediately realizing that Lin Changheng had intervened at the crucial moment, Xu Maoling was so excited that he could hardly speak: "Fellow Daoist Lin...!"

Lin Changheng nodded slightly to him, his gaze sweeping over Jia Er, whose life force had been severed by the [Hidden Void Blade] and who was slowly falling to the ground, before finally landing on Jia Yi, who was desperately resisting the suppression of the black seal platform, his face filled with horror and resentment.

His strategy was simple: first, quickly kill the weaker ones, and then join forces with Xu Maoling to besiege the stronger silver-masked cultivators.

Although the reverse approach might be more effective and obvious, this order is more prudent for him.

Upon seeing this, Xu Maoling's spirits lifted. He quickly stuffed two pills into his mouth, swallowed them whole, and immediately unleashed his remaining magical power, hurtling towards the silver-masked cultivator.

He knew very well that as long as he could hold this person back and prevent him from hindering Fellow Daoist Lin, and wait for Fellow Daoist Lin to quickly kill the remaining mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, then they could launch a siege. Not only could the crisis of the island's destruction and the loss of people be resolved, but the resentment and anger of those who had bullied him could also be wiped away!
This allows the mind to flow smoothly!

"Boom boom boom!"

A tremendous roar erupted from the side. Xu Maoling suppressed his injuries, unleashed his potential, and wielded his scythe-wielding spiritual weapon to engage in a fierce battle with the silver-masked cultivator. For a time, the fight was evenly matched.

Lin Changheng glanced at it and nodded in satisfaction, quite agreeing with Xu Maoling's choice to seize the opportunity and make a decisive counterattack.

With the situation now largely under control, his attention turned to Jia Yi, who was struggling like a lone boat in a storm, constantly being bombarded by the black inkstone.

This person's cultivation was only at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, around the sixth level of Foundation Establishment. However, under the relentless onslaught of the black seal platform, his face turned ashen, as if he had swallowed a dead child. He was struggling to hold on using various defensive methods.

Lin Changheng's eyes were indifferent. He flipped his hands, and a thick stack of talismans with different spiritual lights appeared between his fingers. These were the first-tier stock he had accumulated. They were no longer of much use to him now, so he was using them to clear out his inventory.

The magical power surged forth like a tidal wave, enveloping everything and instantly activating the entire thick stack of talismans!
"Whoosh whoosh-!"

In an instant, the sound of air being torn apart was deafening! More than ten talismans transformed into a dazzling yet deadly torrent, shooting headlong towards Jia Yi!

The fireballs were blazing, the ice spikes were chilling, the earthen spears were heavy, and the water arrows were sharp...

Furthermore, various low-level magical lights, including golden blades, wooden spikes, and wind blades, intertwined to form a net of death, almost completely sealing off any possible escape space for Jia Yi!

Jia Yi had barely withstood another powerful bombardment from the black seal platform, and several more cracks appeared on his defensive golden shield, his blood and qi churning violently within him. Before he could even catch his breath, he saw this overwhelming torrent of low-level spells of all kinds rushing towards him, and he was instantly terrified!
"asshole!"

He roared in despair, desperately urging his nearly depleted remaining magical power in an attempt to resist.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Crack..."

The first wave of fireballs and ice spikes slammed into the golden shield, creating a series of explosions and causing the light barrier to shake violently.

The earthen spear and the golden blade that followed were the final straw that broke the camel's back!
The defensive golden shield, which was already on the verge of collapse, could no longer withstand such a dense bombardment after enduring the main pressure from the black seal platform. It completely disintegrated amidst a tooth-grinding cracking sound!
Having lost its last barrier, even though Jia Yi managed to activate its magical shield, it burst instantly like a bubble in the sunlight under the baptism of these talismans!
"Do not--!"

Amidst Jia Yi's desperate screams, a torrent of magic instantly engulfed his figure.

The sounds of roaring, tearing, burning, freezing... all kinds of sounds intertwined together.

When the spiritual light dissipated and the power of the talisman was exhausted, all that remained was a patch of scorched and frost-covered ground, and a charred corpse that was almost unrecognizable and died a gruesome death.

Lin Changheng remained expressionless and waved his hand to retrieve the black inkstone that was floating in the air and shimmering with dark light.

For him, exchanging a bunch of useless first-tier talismans for the life of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator and saving his own mana was an extremely worthwhile deal.

He turned his head and looked indifferently at the silver-masked cultivator fighting Xu Maoling on the other side. He swallowed a pill, his eyes cold and menacing, waiting for the right moment to strike.

……

Meanwhile, the silver-masked cultivator, who was tightly entangled by Xu Maoling and unable to break free, was both shocked and furious, a chill running down his spine.

As his divine sense spread, he naturally saw the scenes of A1 and A2 dying one after another.

They even "saw" Lin Changheng calmly putting away their two storage bags.

It's obvious now that this green-robed cultivator who appeared out of nowhere is the instigator of all this trouble!
This directly overturned their favorable situation.

The two people who have remained silent on Floating Star Island are most likely dead, and it's probably related to them.

Moreover, this person is extremely capable, decisive, and ruthless. Once the other party seizes the opportunity to make a move, I'm afraid I won't be able to get away with it, and I might even lose my life here!
We have to go!

The silver-masked cultivator made a decision in an instant, his mind racing.

As long as the green hills remain, you won’t have to worry about running out of firewood!
The fear of death instantly overwhelmed everything!
A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. He pretended to fight Xu Maoling to the death, frantically channeling his magical power into the bone sword in his hand, and roared, "Old farmer, die!"

The bone sword shone brightly with white light, and a pale white sword aura, thicker and more condensed than ever before, tore through the air, accompanied by a shrill ghostly howl, and slashed straight at Xu Maoling's face!
The scale of the attack was absolutely terrifying!

Xu Maoling's expression was solemn, and he dared not be negligent in the slightest. His magic power surged, and he used his scythe to create an impenetrable defensive light barrier to block with all his might.

"boom!"

The sword energy and the scythe light barrier collided fiercely, unleashing an astonishing shockwave.

However, in the very next instant after the collision, the silver-masked cultivator did not pursue the attack. Instead, he used the force of the recoil to shoot backward as if pulled by an invisible rope!

At the same time, he slapped his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood essence. The blood mist instantly merged into the surrounding light, causing his speed to surge and transforming him into a streak of blood-red light. Without hesitation, he fled desperately towards the outside of Shengyang Island.

He actually feinted, then directly burned his life essence to unleash the Blood Escape Technique!
"Trying to run?!" Xu Maoling blocked the sword, only to realize it was a feint. He tried to give chase, but the opponent was too fast, and it was too late.

Lin Changheng, with his divine sense and five senses, could perceive everything and naturally understood his fundamental thoughts in an instant. The corners of his mouth slightly turned up, and he remained motionless, taking it all in stride.

The two people's reactions were detected by the silver-masked cultivator's divine sense, which reassured him somewhat. As long as he could break out of the area of ​​Shengyang Island, he was confident that he could escape using the Blood Escape Technique.

He had even planned how to report back, shifting the blame to this sudden variable...

However, just as he was about to rush out of the edge of Rising Sun Island, in that moment when his mind was most relaxed—

"call out!"

The seemingly calm lake surface below is now subtly undulating!
A highly refined, almost seamlessly integrated azure water arrow, like a venomous snake that had been lurking for a long time, burst forth from the water with incredible speed, shooting with unparalleled precision toward the path that the crimson light was destined to take!

The timing and angle at which the water arrow appeared were extremely tricky.

Just as the silver-masked cultivator was overjoyed at surviving the ordeal and determined to avenge himself, his mind was completely focused on the possible pursuit behind him, leaving him utterly unprepared for the lake area below!
"What?!" The silver-masked cultivator was terrified, completely unaware that an enemy was lurking underwater!

In his haste, he only had time to twist his body desperately, trying to avoid vital organs.

Exceptionally decisive!

"Pfft!"

The azure water arrow, fueled by the deep lake clam's long-term accumulation of power, possessed speed and might comparable to a full-force attack from a late-stage second-tier demon beast. Although it failed to strike his heart, it pierced his thigh with deadly force!
An extremely cold and sinister power erupted instantly, not only blasting a bloody hole in his thigh, but also frantically eroding his meridians, instantly interrupting his Blood Escape Technique, causing his escape light to dissipate, and his whole body to fall headlong from mid-air like a bird with broken wings!
"No—!" The silver-masked cultivator let out a desperate and unwilling roar.

Just as he was falling and trying to regain his balance, a figure in a green robe appeared above him like a ghost.

Lin Changheng's eyes were icy cold, devoid of any pity. He reached out with his left hand, and dark golden flames roared out, transforming into an almost invisible thread of death that gently wrapped around the other man's neck.

The silver-masked cultivator froze instantly, his eyes filled with terror and resentment. A head wearing a tattered silver mask shot into the sky, blood gushing out like a fountain.

"Splash!" The headless corpse fell into the lake, staining a patch of water red.

Then flames rose up, burning the sunken corpses in the water to ashes, creating a burst of light in the water.

Lin Changheng reached out and snatched the storage bag from the waist. With his other hand, he grabbed the head of a dead man with his eyes wide open. The silver mask had shattered, revealing a face filled with fear and effeminate beauty.

He glanced at the person, whom he did not recognize, and then, taking advantage of the other's lingering soul, used the Soul Searching Technique.

Soon, he frowned, revealing a look of disappointment.

Clearly, the key memories in this person's soul were firmly locked away by a special method, and could not be leaked in the slightest. Lin Changheng tried to forcibly check them, but this triggered a chain reaction, and his soul also shattered.

Since it was useless, with a "whoosh," flames rose up and burned it all away.

Lin Changheng, who was aware of what was happening beside him, immediately turned his gaze to Xu Maoling, who was panting slightly as he flew over.

Xu Maoling stopped in mid-air and looked down at the corpse. His eyes showed a hint of relaxation, a hint of pleasure, and eight parts of astonishment and admiration for Lin Changheng's strength.

He never imagined that this renowned second-tier alchemist would possess such extraordinary and astonishing strength. Such methods would probably even surpass his own at his peak.

Moreover, there was the spirit beast lurking beneath the lake's surface, unleashing astonishing water arrows; its perfectly timed attack directly led to the death of the silver-masked cultivator.

It is very likely a late-stage second-tier spirit beast.

"Truly unassuming and unassuming, yet their hidden strength is terrifying..."

Xu Maoling raised his hand to wipe away the remaining blood from the corner of his mouth, and solemnly bowed to Lin Changheng, his voice slightly hoarse from emotion and injuries:
"Fellow Daoist Lin, if it weren't for your timely intervention and saving the day, I, Xu, would have lost my life and the foundation of Shengyang Island! I am deeply grateful for your life-saving grace and the virtue of protecting the island, and I will never forget it!"

His words were incredibly sincere, and his gaze toward Lin Changheng was complex and unfathomable.

He considered his relationship with this neighbor to be decent, but it was by no means as deep as that of brothers.

Unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, the other party not only risked their life to come to his aid, but also displayed such astonishing strength and decisiveness, first relieving the siege of Floating Star Island, then saving him from the brink of death, and finally annihilating all the enemies. Their methods were clean and efficient, and their thoughts were meticulous and unpredictable.

I owe this favor a huge debt!

Lin Changheng remained calm as he accepted the bow, saying indifferently, "Brother Xu, you flatter me. We live next door to each other, as close as lips and teeth. The enemy's attack was aggressive, clearly intending to defeat us one by one. My intervention was also to save myself. Moreover, Brother Xu's relentless fighting just now created an opportunity for me."

His words were half truth and half humility, both pointing out the stakes and affirming Xu Maoling's role, giving this fellow Daoist Xu ample face.

Upon hearing this, Xu Maoling was filled with even more emotion.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his surging blood and qi. He knew that the other party could say that, but he absolutely could not think that way. So he said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Lin is very righteous. Now that this matter is settled, please allow me to make some preparations. I will definitely reward you handsomely!"

Lin Changheng smiled and nodded, no longer standing on ceremony, and then asked with concern, "I wonder if there is anything I can do to help Brother Xu?"

“The damage to Shengyang Island is not serious. In addition, the servants and spirit plant growers on the island have not been affected. With so many people, it can be dealt with and restored to its original state in no time. There is no need to trouble Fellow Daoist Lin.”

Xu Maoling knew that the other party was just being polite, so he naturally didn't take it seriously and thanked Lin Changheng for his kindness with a smile.

"That's fine too."

After exchanging a few words, Xu Maoling took his leave and returned to the island to repair the formation and recover from his injuries.

……

Lin Changheng also took the opportunity to visit Floating Star Island and meet Cheng Suling.

"Brother Lin Dao."

Cheng Suling's condition had improved significantly, with a slight flush on her pretty face, but the bloodstains on her skirt still gave her a delicate and pitiful appearance.

He then rose, greeted Lin Changheng, and curtsied.

"Over on Sunrise Island..."

"Fairy Cheng need not worry, the problem has been resolved."

Lin Changheng smiled slightly, a smile that put people at ease.

"Brother Lin, your abilities are truly remarkable; I admire you greatly." Cheng Suling curtsied gracefully, but a faint trace of worry lingered between her brows. After a slight hesitation, she said softly, "However... I wonder if they will return with a vengeance..."

Lin Changheng saw her concerns and added in a calm but firm tone, "The attackers have all been killed. Even if they still have forces behind them, they should not dare to attack again easily in the short term before they can figure out the truth."

His words were both a statement of fact and a reassurance.

"Um……"

"Ok?"

Cheng Suling nodded slightly and subconsciously hummed in agreement, but the next moment she suddenly realized and stared wide-eyed at Lin Changheng, "Brother Lin, are you saying that the cultivators who were besieging us were all...?"

"Excellent, it's just right to transform the black mud at the bottom of the lake and protect the flowers and leaves of the three islands."

Lin Changheng smiled calmly.

"Hiss..." Cheng Suling gasped upon hearing this, her beautiful eyes almost overflowing with shock. She had only thought that Lin Changheng had repelled the invading enemy, but she never expected that he had actually killed all the enemies—including the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator who had filled her with despair—without leaving a single one alive!
"Transform the black mud at the bottom of the lake to protect the flowers and leaves of the three islands..." She repeated Lin Changheng's words in a low voice, which were casual yet full of murderous intent. She felt a chill rise from her spine, but what followed was an unprecedented sense of security.

When she looked up at Lin Changheng again, her gaze was different. Before, it was gratitude and admiration, but now it held an indescribable awe. This usually gentle and taciturn alchemist, Lin, was so decisive and ruthless when he took action!
"Brother Lin... truly..." She opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know how to describe it. In the end, she let out a complicated sigh. "In this way, we can indeed be safe for a short time. Brother Lin's actions can be said to have completely eliminated the threat to our three islands."

She knew in her heart that if Lin Changheng hadn't swiftly and decisively wiped out the enemy, any escape would have brought endless retaliation. But for now, at least until the enemy uncovered the truth, they were safe.

It might even provoke the wrath of the Purple Extreme Sect, and they might not dare to harbor any more wicked thoughts.

This kindness is more than ten times greater than simply repelling the enemy!
Lin Changheng's gaze swept over Cheng Suling, and his tone softened: "Fairy Cheng's injuries are not light. It is more important to repair the formation first and then recuperate properly. As for the follow-up matters, including the details, it would be best if Fairy Cheng explained them later. Although I am not curious, since I am involved in this matter, I should still be aware of the situation."

Cheng Suling knew this was not the time for a detailed discussion, so she nodded and said, "Thank you for reminding me, brother. This is indeed an important matter. Once I have dealt with it, I will tell you everything that happened. And if you ever need my help in the future, I will do my best to assist you."

Her beautiful eyes brightened slightly as she looked at Lin Changheng again, as if she wanted to get to know this unassuming neighbor all over again.

Then he turned around, transformed into a streak of light, and flew towards a corner of the devastated Floating Star Island.

……

Qiyue Island.

As soon as they returned to the island, a beautiful figure carrying a light fragrance rushed into Lin Changheng's arms, wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, buried her face in his chest, and said nothing.

Lin Changheng was slightly taken aback, clearly feeling the subtle, still-simmering trembling of the delicate body in his arms. He raised his hand, and the chilling aura that had enveloped him due to the continuous battles instantly softened, gently resting on Yan Mingyi's back.

"What's wrong?" he asked in a low voice, his tone gentle to himself. "The island's formation is secure, so I've returned safely, haven't I?"

Yan Mingyi gently shook her head in his arms, still not looking up, her muffled voice carrying a barely perceptible sob and lingering fear:
“I…I know my husband is safe and sound. But…but I sensed such intense battle fluctuations from Floating Star Island and Rising Sun Island…I…I can’t help but worry…”

Although she always kept Lin Changheng's instructions in mind and guarded the formation without stepping out of Qiyue Island, the earth-shattering battle she sensed in the distance made her heart leap into her throat.

She knew that Lin Changheng was definitely involved, and the torment of knowing he was in danger but having no choice but to wait was far more agonizing than participating in the battle herself.

Lin Changheng understood, a warmth rising within him. He gently patted her back, reassuring her, "Those few clowns have been dealt with. When have I ever done anything without certainty?"

Yan Mingyi then raised her head, her beautiful eyes glistening with tears, and carefully examined him to make sure that not even a single tear was on his clothes.

Her tense nerves finally relaxed, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she let go of his hand a little embarrassedly, muttering softly, "Next time, next time if it happens again, can you take me with you? I can help out now."

"Haha, there's no need for that. You can focus on improving your puppetry skills and break through to the second tier. Make more puppets for your husband to protect him. Wouldn't it be better to have a puppet army to intimidate people?"

Lin Changheng pointed out a clear path.

This was also a path that truly helped him.

"it is good!"

Yan Mingyi's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously, "Actually, I have already touched the edge of the second-tier puppet path, and my advancement should not be far away."

"That's wonderful!"

Lin Changheng laughed loudly, then looked at the [Deep Lake Spirit Clam] that had dived down from the bottom of the lake. He took out several second-tier pills that he had seized and fed them to Xiaobai as a reward, praising, "This time it's all thanks to you, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to catch up with that guy's blood-red escape light."

The "Shadow Escape Technique" is a skill that specializes in rapid short-distance movement and can conceal one's figure and other information. However, it is not very effective for tracking long-distance bursts of escape.

Xiao Bai's long-awaited and perfectly timed blue water arrow was a stroke of genius, directly extinguishing the opponent's last hope of survival.

"Gulu gulu..."

Little White let out a cheerful and satisfied chirp, and unceremoniously swallowed the pill, its shell constantly opening and closing, flapping.

It affectionately rubbed against Lin Changheng's palm, and then a fine jet of water, like a precise fountain, sprayed onto the hem of Lin Changheng's robe.

It didn't just wet the area; rather, it carried a cool, pure, and refreshing aura, washing away the almost imperceptible trace of blood and violence that had stained it.

The two dogs, Xiao Hei and Xiao Qing, gathered around Xiao Bai, whimpering and growling softly, seemingly curious and asking for details.

Lin Changheng stood up and stepped aside, smiling at the harmonious scene of the three spirit beasts. Then he turned his gaze to the distance, passing over Floating Star Island and Rising Sun Island, his eyes deep.

After this battle, the power dynamics of the three islands have changed, with one side now in control and the other in a more dominant position.

……

late at night.

After comforting Yan Mingyi, Lin Changheng sat alone in the lakeside pavilion.

As the cool lake breeze blows through the night, we raise our cups to invite the bright moon.

With their reflections in each other, it was as if there were three people, making it incredibly relaxing and enjoyable.

In fact, he had already quickly organized the five storage bags he had acquired.

It can be said that, apart from the Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Luo who was killed by Cheng Suling with a talisman and became a scapegoat, all the others were personally killed by Lin Changheng.

Naturally, all the storage bags ended up in Lin Changheng's hands.

In reality, all the positive risks are borne by the two of them.

Lin Changheng was merely looking for an opportunity to kill him from the sidelines, but even so, Cheng and Xu not only had no objection to it, but they also had to offer him an additional gift.

Because Lin Changheng truly saved their lives!
This time, Lin Changheng's savings increased significantly.

In terms of the quantity of spirit stones alone, the total number of mid-grade and low-grade spirit stones has exceeded 80,000 low-grade spirit stones.

Including the captured magical artifacts and ordinary resources, after calculating their value and converting them into cash, the total value has exceeded 150,000 low-grade spirit stones.

This figure does not include Lin Changheng's personal magical artifacts.

Moreover, Lin Changheng also obtained two extremely rare spiritual materials.

The first is [Gui Water Essence].

Back then, Cheng and Xu teamed up to go to the depths of the Water Eye Spirit Cave beneath a certain section of the Ancient Youjiang River to break through the accompanying Cold Jade Crystal Scorpion in order to obtain the spiritual object.

At that moment, Xu Maoling's eyes widened, deeply moved.

Later, Lin Changheng deliberately collected relevant information in the Immortal City and learned that this [Kui Water Essence] actually had a certain benefit in forming the core.
