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

Chapter 96 Farewell to Divine Power (First Update, Please Subscribe)

Later, the matter of Xu Xujun's foundation building was no longer a top secret, but instead became a story that circulated within the clan and could inspire people.

Lin Changheng also learned that Xu Xujun had indeed used a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object in addition to the Foundation Establishment Pills issued by the Upper Sect.

However, it did not explain the origin or specific details.

Lin Changheng knew that it was very likely from an auction in Huangxufang, and that it was brought back by Xu Hanji.

As for the truth, there is no definitive answer.

However, the rewards issued by the clan were far beyond Lin Changheng's expectations.

Abundant!

It was far more than what could be gained by "driving away" a Qi Refining Stage 7 cultivator and saving a few clansmen.

That was a pill-making furnace.

Top grade pill furnace!

Although it was a secondhand item from the stock, looking drab and unremarkable, it wasn't seriously damaged.

Even the slightest damage was repaired by a master craftsman from outside the clan, who even polished it a bit before bestowing it upon the item.

This approach truly demonstrates the Xu family's attitude and dedication!
To discuss value—

Despite its condition, this furnace is no cheaper than a brand-new, genuine, high-quality Buddhist artifact.

That means you'll get at least seven or eight hundred spirit stones!

When the Xu family bestowed the incense burner, Xu Hanji personally delivered it and also brought a message with him.

In essence, this furnace is not only a family tribute to Master Lin's past achievements and an affirmation of his past work, but also a wish for Master Lin to make great progress in alchemy in the future and break through to the top rank as soon as possible!
Lin Changheng readily agreed with a smile.

He took the miniature stove from Xu Hanji's hands; it was small enough to be held in one palm.

"As expected of a top-grade magic artifact-level alchemy furnace."

Lin Changheng tried it himself and was amazed.

A superior-grade magic furnace is completely different from the ordinary magic furnaces in the alchemy room, which are often twice the height of a person.

The latter is immobile and cannot be retracted. It is even fixed with iron chains to prevent unauthorized movement from causing the [Earth Fire Array] to become misaligned and affecting the alchemy process.

However, the former is quite different. It can be carried around and stored away at will. Apart from needing to prepare additional alchemical fires such as earth fire, it is very useful.

……

The third major event was the official opening of the market in the desolate Dust Valley.

However, because the word "Jue" in "Juechen" and "Juechen" is not auspicious, and because this place is rich in the spiritual herb "Qinglinghao", the Xu family discovered this valley because of this spiritual herb.

Therefore, the first two characters of 【青灵蒿】 were extracted.
It is called [Qinglingfang].

Although the Liu family is not assertive and is quite fair, the coexistence of the two clans naturally leads to a shift in the power dynamics.

Later, when a Foundation Establishment cultivator emerged from the Xu family, the situation was somewhat contained.

Although this place is in its initial stage, it already shows signs of prosperity.

Moreover, the "small-scale reclamation" is currently underway, and the scraps left over after the front-line needs were intercepted by the upper sects and aristocratic families have injected considerable vitality into this new town.

It is worth mentioning that the Sun family, a family of beast tamers, also intends to open a shop in the neighborhood and start a business.

Upon learning this, the Xu and Liu families responded enthusiastically and offered substantial preferential terms.

Even though the Liu family is also a beast-taming family, and will inevitably compete with the Sun family, they are still warmly welcomed.

Because the levels we are on are now different.

The head of a market town should not be too concerned with trivial matters; he should consider more natural aspects.

After a protracted six-month negotiation, the Sun family finally agreed to move in.

……

In the Guanxia Dojo, in Lin Changheng's small courtyard, Lin Changheng sat cross-legged, his gaze filled with fervent anticipation as he looked at the essence blood of mountain and marsh spirits that the Xu family caravan had recently acquired from the Liu family.

This is also the last batch delivered by the Liu family!
He is now over forty-five, and has been in middle age for almost ten years. His face has not aged or developed wrinkles; on the contrary, he has a youthful appearance.

Judging from his overall appearance, most people who don't know him would think he's no more than thirty-five years old.

It's not that time has stopped, but rather that the life-extending talent, which was taken from the essence of the [Lantern Grass Spirit], is exerting its miraculous effect.

Over the years, the [Lantern Grass Spirit Seed] has already gained four levels of spiritual power, unlike the [Wooden Puppet Fox], which only reached three levels at its peak.

And he obtained the [Heavenly Grant of Longevity - Ascension to Immortality]!
That's right, it's not a "miraculous method to prolong life," but rather a "divine gift of longevity."

Similar to the description of the "Original Treasure Seed," it uses the term "divinely bestowed."

Over the years, Lin Changheng has gradually come to realize that the core difference between "heterodox methods" and "divine gifts" lies in the fact that one is actively used while the other is passively used.

The former is the "adaptation" of the monster's talent, hence it is called "different method".

The latter is either a "direct inheritance" of the beast's talent, or "without an adaptation process," and is called "divinely bestowed."

Just like the original precious seed, which comes from the human race, it does not need to be "adapted" and is therefore "given by heaven"!
Clearly, the effect of the "Heavenly Grant of Longevity" at this time is also a direct inheritance.

Now that the relevant essence and blood are sufficient, the fifth level of the Spirit Seizing Realm is within reach!
Lin Changheng reached into the essence blood, and the Yuan Ding in his sea of ​​consciousness hummed and trembled.

[Spirit Stealing: 100/100]

A mottled green seed is taking shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.

【Lantern Grass Essence Seed - Fivefold】

[Can continue refining the demon race's innate talent: Life Extension]

Without hesitation, he chose to refine it. As the seed was absorbed, a feeling similar to a rich life force arose in his heart and spread throughout his body, as if some kind of mysterious change had occurred.

[Heaven-bestowed Longevity - Entering the Realm of Transformation]

[Effect: Continuously delays the decline of Qi and blood, and extends lifespan by another five years]

After a brief assessment, Lin Changheng discovered that his blood and qi had only progressed by a year and had not regressed at all, remaining at the peak of his middle age without any signs of decline.

But his lifespan actually increased by another five years.

He has reached the age of one hundred and forty-three!
It exceeded the theoretical maximum lifespan of a Qi Refining cultivator—one hundred and thirty years, a full thirteen years.

Lin Changheng was quite satisfied with this.

It should be noted that there are longevity treasures or elixirs in the cultivation world, but they are either in the hands of Core Formation or Nascent Soul cultivators, or they are fought over by various forces and elderly cultivators as soon as they appear, with bloodshed being an understatement.

Lin Changheng easily achieved a lifespan of twenty-five years, and there is still a possibility of extending his lifespan in the future.

How can we not be satisfied?

But that's not all. Clearly, the potential of the [Lantern Grass Essence Seed] is not yet exhausted, and there is still a possibility of it transforming.

Fortunately, he shamelessly managed to obtain some extra [Lantern Grass Essence] blood from the Liu family, which was beyond what was originally planned, allowing him to continue.

【Lantern Grass Essence Seed - Fivefold】

[Spirit Stealing: 100/100]

[Biochemical Life: 0/10]

[Effect: For spirits and monsters of mountains and marshes, it transforms their turbid and evil bloodline, making them naturally wood-type. It allows them to fully realize their spiritual potential and cultivate the Dao, and can refine the true meaning of the innate divine power "Glory of Life" into their bloodline.]

“Magic power!”

"Finally, I see the divine power again!"

Lin Changheng was already familiar with the process, so he ignored the prefix and focused on the last two words: [Bloodline Divine Power] and [True Meaning of "Rongsheng"].

I was instantly filled with surprise and joy!
