Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans...

Chapter 427 News of an Old Friend After Five Years, Travels Begin [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Time flies, and five years have passed since Lin Chang'an held the Nascent Soul Ceremony.

Although Lin Chang'an usually kept a low profile during this period, his reputation within the Protectorate Alliance was by no means small.

The title of a fourth-tier array master is quite impressive.

The cultivation world is also very realistic. After his Nascent Soul Ceremony ended and it was rumored that he possessed fourth-order formation skills, less than half a year later...

Two Nascent Soul cultivators came to visit one after the other. One of them, looking ashamed, bowed and explained that he was in seclusion and had no disciples under his command, which caused him to miss the Nascent Soul Ceremony.

Another explanation is that he was traveling far away and rushed back as soon as he learned of the news.

These two Nascent Soul cultivators even added a generous congratulatory gift.

Lin Chang'an was well aware of this scene. These rogue cultivators had all come a long way, and they were all flexible and adaptable, and of course, they came to make friends with sincerity.

However, these two rogue cultivators were not lying about one thing: it is indeed easier for rogue cultivators without a foundation to make contact with Nascent Soul cultivators who have power.

Lin Chang'an knew the principle that having more friends meant having more options, so he didn't offend any of them and greeted them with a smile.

During these five years, Lin Chang'an lived a secluded life. Although he became a Nascent Soul Grand Elder of the sect, he rarely interfered in sect affairs.

Firstly, he joined later, and secondly, he clearly understood that in the cultivation world, power and status are always linked to strength.

A Nascent Soul cultivator will only pursue other paths if their cultivation path is completely severed and they have given up all hope.

Now that he has just formed his nascent soul, his future is bright, so naturally he will not stray from his focus.

Therefore, his ascetic lifestyle remained unchanged even after he reached the Nascent Soul stage, which earned him the secret admiration of many in the sect. No wonder he was able to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

That kind of mentality is truly extraordinary.

Inside the cave.

"Owner."

Inside the elegant cave, the sword attendant gently draped her master's robes with her delicate hands, while Lin Chang'an enjoyed the comfort.

【Lifespan: 338/2070】

[Realm Level: Early Nascent Soul Stage (3/100)]

Inside the cave, Lin Chang'an sipped spiritual tea, enjoying the massage of a pair of jade hands on his shoulders. Looking at his cultivation progress over the past five years, he felt somewhat helpless.

In five years, his cultivation progress increased by two points. At this rate, if he wanted to break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, ignoring the bottleneck issue, it would take him at least 250 years.

"As expected, without cultivation techniques, the speed of cultivation is slow if one relies solely on the accumulation of magical power."

This was only because he had been helping his senior sister Bingdie with dual cultivation of spiritual infant spirit over the past five years; otherwise, his cultivation speed would have been even slower.

Although he has a long lifespan, it's always better to improve one's strength as early as possible.

Moreover, this is only the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm; there are also the middle and late stages of the Nascent Soul realm, as well as the legendary Divine Transformation realm.

Upon closer examination, he realized that he couldn't afford to waste a single moment of his lifespan.

"However, having a powerful sect is indeed much better than being a rogue cultivator."

At this moment, in Lin Chang'an's dantian, in addition to the three leaves, another small leaf of the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine had already sprouted.

Taking advantage of healing Ice Butterfly True Monarch, and nourished by high-grade spiritual liquid over the past five years, the Mysterious Heaven Immortal Vine has developed quite well.

Although there is suspicion of exploiting the sect, upon closer examination, given the current state of Ice Butterfly Fairy's injuries, no one else could possibly heal her.

His Xuan Tian Immortal Vine ability could not be exposed, so using this opportunity to heal Ice Butterfly True Monarch was a win-win situation.

Ultimately, if this ability were to be charged, it wouldn't be enough for just this little bit of spiritual liquid.

This is his way of giving back to the sect, not just taking from them.

"Master, this is a freshly picked spirit tea that was recently sent by the Great Qian Dynasty."

Inside the cave, the sword attendant gently brewed the spiritual tea, and Lin Chang'an nodded in satisfaction.

Now that his status and realm have changed, even the Great Qian Dynasty, knowing that he enjoys tea, arranges for someone to send him some fresh spiritual tea every year.

Although the sword attendant was a concubine, she still habitually did not want to change this title.

Lin Chang'an didn't care, as long as he liked it, and the two became even closer because of it.

Sword Attendant was his capable assistant, helping to manage Lingfeng, and was also his concubine.

"Ling'er, you are now a late-stage Core Formation cultivator. Cultivate diligently. With your talent, your success rate in preparing for Nascent Soul formation far exceeds that of ordinary cultivators. You must not waste your talent."

"Yes, Master!"

The sword servant's talent in swordsmanship is beyond doubt. Moreover, he possesses the top spiritual body of three great sword cultivators, and his cultivation level is already at the late stage of Core Formation.

He is only two hundred and twenty years old now, and it is inevitable that he will plan to achieve Nascent Soul in the future.

Lin Chang'an even envied the sword servant's talent in swordsmanship.

He hadn't made much progress with the 'Sword Qi Transformation into Silk' technique he had previously acquired, but in the last two years, his sword servant seemed to have gained some enlightenment, and the power of his sword technique had greatly increased.

Of course, it's not that he's bad, but rather that the sword attendant is exceptionally talented in swordsmanship.

Over the past five years, he has become accustomed to the various spells and supernatural powers of Nascent Soul cultivators.

After all, aside from the memories of the two Nascent Soul cultivators he possessed, there were two genuine Nascent Soul cultivators within the sect, as well as several generations of Nascent Soul cultivation experience.

Without using the Ice Lotus Frost Flame, relying on the magical treasures he could display, such as the Sun Piercing Divine Sword, he possessed a powerful magical force far exceeding that of other Nascent Soul cultivators of the same level.

And its terrifying regenerative ability means that it is evenly matched with ordinary cultivators at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage.

"Even with my powerful self-healing body, once we get into a war of attrition, a cultivator at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage might not be my match."

The higher one's cultivation level, the greater the difference between each minor realm. Similarly, Nascent Soul cultivators are also divided into different levels.

For example, Elder Cheng, who is also a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, is not good at fighting, and his combat power is declining sharply as his lifespan is about to end.

In summary, without powerful magic weapons, their actual combat strength is at the bottom of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, and they can even be outmatched by some powerful early-stage Nascent Soul peak cultivators.

However, if it were Sword Lord Jin Jianchuan, a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator, the situation would be completely different.

"When one's cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul Realm, cultivation techniques, secret arts, supernatural abilities, and magic treasures all have a direct impact on combat power."

Although his cultivation technique is not yet at the Nascent Soul stage, it is still considered top-tier among those of the same level.

In terms of magical treasures, whether it's the Sun-Piercing Divine Sword or the Buddha Light Relic, they are not inferior among Nascent Soul cultivators.

As for supernatural abilities, the Ice Lotus Frost Flame, as it is continuously refined, can also be considered one of his supernatural abilities, and even a trump card.

"The terror of the Ice Lotus Frost Flame has only become clearer over the years as I've refined it, and even then, its power is greatly reduced without the original body."

Even so, even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator who is carelessly struck by this icy flame will not easily escape unscathed.

Considering his overall combat strength, he is considered a top-tier fighter even in the early Nascent Soul stage. With his trump card, he can even manage to get a chance against someone in the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

Now he is good at both offense and defense, and even in terms of escape, he can rely on his powerful magic power and strong recovery ability to fly for a long time. He is confident that he can outlast even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

"In the cultivation world today, these late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators are either in seclusion or seeking the elusive opportunity to transform into a Divine Transformation cultivator; they are all rare sights."

Now I can say that I've managed to secure a place for myself in the world of cultivation.

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but smile and take a sip of spiritual tea.

As long as he doesn't cause trouble, the Nascent Soul cultivator has already reached the pinnacle of the cultivation world.

"And this Phoenix Bird, if it breaks through to the fourth rank, then we'll have another trump card."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an put down the spiritual tea and used his divine sense to scan the depths of the cave.

On the Fusang Divine Tree, which was transformed from his Sun-Piercing Divine Sword, a large golden bird was curled up, looking drowsy.

But he exuded a terrifying fire-attribute aura, and Lin Chang'an nodded secretly upon seeing this.

Since swallowing this fourth-order fire-attribute demon core five years ago, the Phoenix Cry Bird, with its third-order body, needed a process to refine and digest it.

"It was originally estimated that it would take twenty or thirty years, but now it seems that the bloodline of this Golden Flame Divine Phoenix is ​​indeed powerful. I'm afraid it will only take about ten years to prepare for a breakthrough."

However, when the Phoenix Bird breaks through, it still needs to find a suitable spiritual place.

He already had a vague plan in mind for this, and another was that he needed to prepare some items for the Phoenix Bird's tribulation breakthrough.

Thinking of this, he thought of the mysterious Fellow Daoist Mingyue.

Although the two had occasional contact over the years, he had mostly tried to avoid this person.

Besides the fact that this person is too mysterious, the most important reason is his strength.

"With my current strength, even if this Fellow Daoist Mingyue is a body cultivator, I will not be much inferior. In fact, after the Phoenix Cry Bird breaks through, I may not be inferior to him in a two-on-one situation."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an nodded to himself.

This is the confidence that comes with becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator.

……

Two months later.

Just as Lin Chang'an was preparing to go to the Ice Butterfly Fairy's cave to heal his injuries, he suddenly received a telepathic message from Elder Cheng Taishang and the Ice Butterfly Fairy herself.

Out of curiosity, Lin Chang'an transformed into a beam of light and arrived directly inside the sect's main hall.

Inside the main hall, two Nascent Soul True Monarchs sat at the head of the table, while below them stood a familiar late-stage Core Formation cultivator. Upon seeing Lin Chang'an, his eyes revealed a complex expression of surprise, shock, and envy.

"Tan Hai of Bihai Palace greets True Lord Lin."

Upon seeing this person, Lin Chang'an was initially astonished, but then his expression brightened with joy.

"It's actually you, Fellow Daoist Tan."

Upon seeing Lin Chang'an's expression of reunion with an old friend, Tan Hai, a short man with flared nostrils and only a sparse tuft of yellow hair on his head, realized that he was indeed an old friend of Lin Chang'an.

"Lin Zhenjun's demeanor is even more impressive than before. I never imagined that after we parted ways in Haiyuan City, we would meet again as Nascent Soul True Lords."

This Master Tan can be considered one of his benefactors. They met on Five Dragons Island when he was still in the Foundation Establishment stage, and later, after he reached the Core Formation stage, he even got on the ship of the Sixth Elder of the Azure Sea Palace through this person.

At this moment, Master Tan was filled with envy. He never expected that his former friend would now become a high-ranking Nascent Soul True Lord.

It's truly a cruel twist of fate.

When he first received the news, he was shocked, followed by deep envy.

Upon seeing this, Elder Cheng, the Grand Elder of the main hall, smiled and nodded, saying:
“Fellow Daoist Lin, this is a congratulatory gift from the Azure Sea Palace of the Abyss Sea. However, the journey is long, and it took some time for the news of your Nascent Soul formation to be sent back and for this gift to be delivered.”

Then, Master Tan respectfully bowed and took out the gift list and some gifts he had brought.

"True Lord Lin, these are gifts specially sent by the Sixth Elder and True Lord Lu after hearing that you had achieved Nascent Soul status. And this one was specially instructed by True Lord Su to be delivered to you personally..."

As Master Tan presented the gifts and explained them one by one, Lin Chang'an understood.

Ultimately, they were all acquaintances. Since they had all become Nascent Soul cultivators, everyone naturally hoped to make another friend.

Especially since this one is a fourth-tier array master.

"Fellow Daoist Su has also formed the Nascent Soul stage."

Lin Chang'an was taken aback at first. Su Miaoyin had also reached the Nascent Soul stage. But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that she was already quite talented, and with a Nascent Soul master (father), her conditions were much better than his.

"Ahem, after Su Zhenjun came out of the secret realm, he went into seclusion and formed his Nascent Soul a few years earlier than Lin Zhenjun."

Listening to Master Tan's explanation, Lin Chang'an nodded secretly. Sure enough, secretly forming the Nascent Soul was exactly in line with the habits of this Master Lu.

The gifts from Bihai Palace and Lu Zhenjun were quite good, but when they opened the gift from Su Miaoyin Zhenjun, everyone present showed strange expressions.

"Ahem, Lin Zhenjun, this was specially ordered by Su Zhenjun to be delivered." Tan Hai's face turned green, and he said awkwardly with his head down.

The gift box contained two gifts: one was a bundle of jade slips containing insights into formations, which was clearly a gift from Su Miaoyin.

The other gift was an exquisite robe, a dark blue robe embroidered with golden spirit flame patterns and adorned with star beads.

However, even though it was a robe, it was still made with the lining, which was bright red.

Upon seeing this, Lin Chang'an's eyes twitched involuntarily. This must have been Su Wanwan's doing; there was no one else but her.

However, this scene was viewed differently by others. It was already somewhat kind of a female Nascent Soul True Monarch to give a male Nascent Soul cultivator a robe, but to make matters worse, the robe even included an inner lining.

"Hehe, Junior Brother Lin has quite a few close friends."

When she recalled Lin Chang'an mentioning several close friends during the Nascent Soul Ceremony, the Ice Butterfly Fairy smiled gently.

But I was genuinely speechless. You really are honest, without a single lie.

Previously, during the Nascent Soul Ceremony, a mysterious Nascent Soul True Monarch from the Dark Moon Realm not only gave away a fourth-tier demon core, but now there is another Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Moreover, the gift was so blatant; even the robes she gave weren't this thoughtful.

It wasn't jealousy or anything like that; she just felt like she'd been taken advantage of.

He had already invested his own spiritual infant into it; if he withdrew now, wouldn't he suffer a huge loss?

Lin Chang'an was also somewhat helpless. Su Wanwan was really quirky. Now that she had done this, who would believe her if she said it was nothing?
"Hehe, very good. Although Fellow Daoist Lin is a rogue cultivator, he is kind and generous, and makes many good connections. He is far better than those cultivators who have accumulated a lot of karma."

Just then, Elder Cheng spoke up, his cheerful smile defusing the awkward situation.

However, he has lived for over a thousand years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a thing, so he was completely bewildered.

There are already few female cultivators in the cultivation world, let alone Nascent Soul female cultivators, and those who are, are all extremely arrogant.

When did independent cultivators become so popular? One after another, Nascent Soul female cultivators are coming to them.

He was clear about the affairs of his own sect, but he hadn't yet figured out the domineering Fellow Daoist Mingyue from the previous Nascent Soul Ceremony, and now another Nascent Soul female True Monarch surnamed Su had appeared.

At this moment, Elder Cheng's mind was also buzzing.

If we can win over the other two Nascent Soul cultivators in one go, wouldn't this sect then become a sect with five Nascent Soul cultivators?
As for things like usurping someone else's place, he could ignore them completely. If a family could truly have five Nascent Soul cultivators, he would wholeheartedly support this Fellow Daoist Lin even if he followed the Great Qian Dynasty's path of cultivation.

As long as the Spirit Control lineage can be passed down, that's fine. Of course, he was just thinking about it, but when this Grand Elder Cheng looked at Lin Chang'an again, his eyes were different, giving off a feeling that he was no ordinary person.

Lin Chang'an was speechless. Su Wanwan was truly unpredictable. However, he was unaware that the other two Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall had already begun a brainstorming session.

"And these were sent by fellow Daoists from the Seven Kingdoms Alliance. The outbreak of the Ghost Realm on Five Dragon Island caused some turmoil in the Sea Abyss, but things have calmed down considerably now..."

Looking at the stack of letters and the congratulatory gifts that the Core Formation cultivators could prepare, Lin Chang'an nodded slightly.

No one asks the poor in the downtown area, and the rich has distant relatives in the mountains.

This saying remains as relevant as ever in the world of cultivation.

However, upon seeing these familiar letters, Lin Chang'an nodded slightly.

"There are also some letters from Lin Zhenjun's old friends, which I delivered on their behalf."

Looking at these old letters, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but show a complicated expression.

Since leaving the secret realm, Lin Chang'an has disappeared without a trace. Now, counting from his attainment of Dao and formation of Nascent Soul, he has been gone for more than fifty years.

Shen Fan and Wei Yingying, two juniors he watched grow up and get married.

Although his cultivation was quite good, he could not escape the limit of his lifespan. He lived to be over 270 years old and passed away peacefully, which can be considered a long life.

Shen Zhuang and Li Tianmo are both over two hundred years old now, which is considered old age among Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Looking at these letters, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but sigh softly.

Truly, the world has changed dramatically; at this moment, I have a deeper understanding of these four words.

With this turn, he embarked on the path of the Nascent Soul stage, while his former acquaintances, whose cultivation was weak, withered away one by one under the merciless passage of time.

Time truly is merciless, and the path of cultivation is filled with loneliness.

Lin Chang'an exuded a faint aura of sadness, which was naturally sensed by Elder Cheng and Fairy Bingdie.

Both of them were experienced people, especially Elder Cheng, who had lived for over a thousand years and had seen countless people come and go along the way.

Looking at Lin Chang'an, Elder Cheng sighed inwardly, realizing that even a Nascent Soul cultivator like himself could not escape the limit of his lifespan.

Subsequently, Master Tan, who had come from afar, and his entourage also resided within the sect for half a year.

During this time, Lin Chang'an has also gained a deep understanding of the changes in the Demon Beast Sea Abyss during his absence.

……

Inside the pavilion on Qingzhu Mountain.

The spiritual tea was filled with abundant spiritual energy, and as Lin Chang'an looked at the letters in his hands, his mindset recovered.

"As cultivation levels rise, some Nascent Soul cultivators only need to go into seclusion once before their offspring are reincarnated again. No wonder some Nascent Soul cultivators have strange tempers."

As the overlord of the Demon Beast Abyss, the Azure Sea Palace has extensive connections, maintaining transactions with both the righteous and demonic paths for many years.

Both sides got what they needed by exchanging supplies and other items.

The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect also produces silk threads for making magic robes from some high-level spirit insects, and there has been a long-term trade between them.

They were just far apart and only engaged in some commercial transactions.

If it were a Core Formation cultivator, it might be like finding a needle in a haystack, but after he formed his Nascent Soul, various forces also sent people to the Abyss Sea to investigate his information, so naturally his news would also be known to the people of the Demon Beast Abyss.

After all, the influence of a Nascent Soul cultivator is still quite significant.

"The Seven Kingdoms Alliance, Five Dragons Island, and Lao Hu."

Although these letters contained congratulatory words exchanged between old friends, the flattering and ingratiating intent was unmistakable.

Hu Jin learned from Tan Hai that after the secret realm ended, due to the turmoil in the Sea Abyss, Old Hu was ordered to hunt down some rebellious Core Formation cultivators. Although there were some ups and downs, he still achieved some minor military exploits.

Now he has settled down in Haiyuan City, and has a large family of children and grandchildren, becoming a powerful elder in the Core Formation stage.

Looking at the envy between the lines of Hu Jinshu's letter, and the words, "After we get out, we can say that we once had a life-and-death friendship with a Nascent Soul cultivator."

Upon seeing this, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but laugh and cry.

"Old Hu really hasn't changed at all; he's still the same as ever."

Although most of the words used were more respectful and flattering due to the change in status, having Lao Hu as a friend was still a comfort.

"However, Fairy Ni Chang disappeared after exploring a ruined cave twenty years ago. Now, the Xuan Yin Pavilion is managed by Liu Ruyu and Xu Lingfeng."

Lin Chang'an frowned as he looked at the letter Liu Ruyu had sent.

Since their parting in the secret realm, it seems that this fellow Daoist in Rainbow Robes has been working tirelessly towards Nascent Soul formation all these years, even risking involvement in some upheavals.

However, this sudden disappearance, although Liu Ruyu said the Soul Lamp was fine, he also understood that Xuan Yin Pavilion had not been doing well in recent years.

"This True Lord Lu is involved in the incident with the Xuan Yin Old Demon, and has been unable to attend to the Seven Kingdoms Alliance in recent years. Although Su Miaoyin has reached the Nascent Soul stage, she has been on the front lines due to the turmoil."

In short, the Demon Beast Abyss remains turbulent, especially after the Insect Demon formed its Nascent Soul in the outer sea, its frenzied revenge has stirred up numerous conflicts.

"Huang Tianxiao has also reached the Nascent Soul stage? Or is this a conspiracy?"

Lin Chang'an frowned secretly, because he had also seen the intelligence reports of the Cold Flame appearing multiple times in the outer sea.

It's obvious that someone is stirring up trouble behind the scenes.

In short, the Demon Beast Sea Abyss is in chaos, and the Azure Sea Palace is naturally involved as well, with several Nascent Soul cultivators already perishing.

In the context of the Demon Beast Abyss, this is already quite good; at least a full-scale war between the Sixteen Sects of Zhenhai and the Bihai Palace did not break out.

"The monsters in the outer sea are causing chaos, and the transformed demons have joined forces to launch a beast tide. The human cultivators inside are also fighting for their own interests. It's truly a chaotic situation."

Lin Chang'an shook his head repeatedly; the Demon Beast Sea Abyss was far too vast.

"Owner!"

Just then, the sword attendant brewed tea and also brought her a number of letters.

After all, once a sword servant forms their core, they receive an elder's offering from the Xuan Yin Pavilion, and they also receive dividends from the joint mining of spirit mines by the Seven Kingdoms Alliance.

Shen Zhuang, Li Tianmo, and Zhou Bingxuan, these younger generation members, naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity, given their past guidance.

"The Seven Nations Alliance is quite good. In addition to sending congratulatory gifts, they also brought their dividends from the past fifty years."

Lin Chang'an chuckled and teased, and the sword attendant, fully aware of the implication, nodded in agreement.
"It's all thanks to the master."

That's true. If he hadn't become a Nascent Soul cultivator, this dividend, which had disappeared for over fifty years, would naturally not have been delivered.

"Moo!"

Just then, the satisfied voice of the Green Horned Ox echoed as it was enjoying some of the spiritual fruits that were abundant in the Demon Beast Sea Abyss.

Looking at the ox, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but laugh and curse.

"Master, I have prepared several sets of different styles of magic robes for you for this trip, as well as some spiritual tea and spiritual wine."

As the one who had been with his master the longest, the sword servant knew what his master was going to do next, and therefore had prepared some things in advance.

Lin Chang'an nodded with a light laugh after hearing this.

Traveling is something many Nascent Soul cultivators do to stabilize their realm. It's also a way to temper their mind and, incidentally, look for opportunities and try their luck.

Many Nascent Soul cultivators, after their cultivation stagnates or hits a bottleneck, either go into seclusion or choose to travel.

While it was true that he was traveling to temper his mind, he had actually been planning this all along, since the Phoenix Bird would need to find a spiritual land rich in fire elemental energy to break through.

The letters from these old friends in the Demon Beast Abyss can be seen as a perfect opportunity to take advantage of this moment.

"Cultivate diligently; with my current supernatural powers, I can go anywhere in the cultivation world."

Lin Chang'an instructed him that now that he had cultivated for over three hundred years, he should naturally appreciate the beautiful scenery of various countries in the cultivation world as he traveled.

Cultivation may require a balance of work and rest. I didn't dare to go out much before, but now it's different.

The sword attendant nodded firmly. Now that she was in the late stage of Core Formation, her focus was naturally on cultivation. The sooner she reached the peak of the late stage of Core Formation, the sooner she could plan to form her Nascent Soul.

……

half a month later.

After Lin Chang'an visited Elder Cheng and Fairy Bingdie and told them about the matter, the two seemed to have been prepared for it.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, please travel with peace of mind. The sect is still safe with me and my junior niece Bingdie."

This Elder Cheng, without any attempt to hide it in front of him, exuded an even stronger aura of age.

However, his expression was quite relaxed, showing no reluctance whatsoever. Instead, he optimistically joked:
"Now that the Sima clan is being held back by the Great Qian, we have heard that the old demonic corpse ghost in Corpse Valley is refining corpses. He even wanted to make a deal with us before, but how can we give this fourth-order demonic corpse pill to the enemy?"

Furthermore, in recent years, Corpse Valley has also been planning for the younger generation to achieve Nascent Soul stage. The tables have turned; now it's their turn to cower in fear.

At this moment, Elder Cheng Taishang said with schadenfreude, "The cultivation world seems to be going through a cycle."

You may be arrogant today, but you may be weak tomorrow.

However, the current situation does indeed present Lin Chang'an with an opportunity to travel.

Moreover, Nascent Soul cultivators have extremely fast escape speeds, and with the addition of the Thousand Mile Transmission Talisman, they can return as quickly as possible if anything happens, so there's nothing wrong with that.

After years of healing, the Ice Butterfly Fairy's internal cold poison has been completely suppressed. Although she is not completely cured, it no longer affects her normal cultivation.

This was also the most gratifying thing for Elder Cheng. If he could see his junior disciple's injuries healed before he passed away, he could truly die in peace.

"Junior Brother Lin, you must be careful on this trip. The Demon Beast Abyss is a chaotic place, so be careful not to get involved."

The Ice Butterfly Fairy spoke slowly with a concerned expression, and Lin Chang'an was aware of the concerns in their hearts.

"Don't worry, Junior Brother's travels will only be within the surrounding area this time. If nothing unexpected happens, he won't be going to the Demon Beast Sea Abyss this time."

Lin Chang'an explained with a smile that he was actually afraid that the Cold Flame would be exposed.

Within the Guardian Alliance, most people believed that he cultivated the Profound Soul Yin Fire, but it was only through the use of the Ice Butterfly Fairy's cold energy that the mutation occurred.

In the Demon Beast Sea Abyss, if he encountered someone who had witnessed the Ice Lotus Frost Flame in the secret realm, he certainly didn't want to get himself into trouble.

Although he now has the ability to preserve the Ice Lotus Flame, it's better to avoid trouble.

"Perfect timing. Since Fellow Daoist Lin is going on a journey, there is a spiritual spring in the Huangsha tribe. If you have the opportunity to go, you can look for Old Ghost Huangsha."

"I'm willing to make a promise in exchange for several bottles of high-grade spiritual liquid from his tribe, which will then be used to heal my niece, Ice Butterfly."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'an was overjoyed and nodded in agreement with delight.

This fourth-grade spiritual liquid is exactly what he needs to heal the Ice Butterfly Fairy.

……

Afterwards, Lin Chang'an did not leave directly, but made several appearances and went to the sect's treasury with Elder Cheng a few times before announcing that he would go into seclusion to cultivate.

To outsiders, this newly formed Nascent Soul cultivator might appear to be practicing some kind of supernatural power.

In reality, before leaving, Lin Chang'an went to the Ice Butterfly Fairy's cave.

Enveloped in a mist formed from the chilling air, as the nascent spirit entered her body, a faint, weak blush appeared on the Ice Butterfly Fairy's face.

"Junior brother, thank you so much. The infant poison in my body can now be suppressed and no longer affects my cultivation. I'm afraid it will be completely refined in another hundred years."

The Ice Butterfly Fairy was genuinely grateful to Lin Chang'an.

"You're too kind, senior sister."

Now that he's a Nascent Soul cultivator, healing no longer leaves him exhausted every time.

At this moment, Lin Chang'an took the spiritual tea from the side, took a sip, and then calmly looked at Senior Sister Bingdie.

Today, Senior Sister Bingdie wore a light white silk veil over a delicate strapless long dress, which added to her charm.

"Junior Brother Lin, which do you think is better, the Daoist Mingyue or Fairy Su from Bihai Palace?"

Despite her sickly and weak appearance, the Ice Butterfly Fairy smiled faintly as she slowly removed the wine gourd from her waist, revealing an alluring smile.

Lin Chang'an was already used to it. This Ice Butterfly True Monarch may seem gentle and tender now, but she is actually strong-willed and has an extremely competitive nature.

Such actions are nothing more than an attempt to completely bind him to the sect.

"Senior Sister Bingdie is too kind. This Fellow Daoist Su is a friend of mine who has shared hardships and has been kind to me. And this Fellow Daoist Mingyue is a very close friend."

Lin Chang'an appeared completely at ease, saying that they were all close friends and there was no distinction between them.

Upon hearing this, the Ice Butterfly Fairy snorted inwardly, feeling annoyed. Was that what she meant?

However, she was also confident that although this fellow Daoist Su had a Nascent Soul Master (father), he was ultimately a Nascent Soul Elder and a guest elder of the Azure Sea Palace.

Although the Azure Sea Palace is powerful, it is trapped in the Demon Beast Abyss, a chaotic place. Based on her understanding of Lin Chang'an, unless there is an immense benefit, she would never sell herself to the Azure Sea Palace.

The other True Lord of the Dark Moon, though mysterious in identity, is extremely domineering and will inevitably cause trouble sooner or later, which will also be a problem.

But she was different. Once she recovered from her injuries, she believed that in terms of talent and potential, she was no less than anyone else. Moreover, she was the one who made the decisions in the entire sect, and she had a lot of freedom.

"Junior Brother Lin has just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. He may not know how difficult cultivation is. If you encounter any difficulties in cultivation in the future, please feel free to come and ask your senior sister."

At this moment, Fairy Ice Butterfly smiled slightly. It was normal for someone who had just formed their Nascent Soul to be full of vigor. But when they encountered a bottleneck in their cultivation in the future, she didn't believe that this Junior Brother Lin would remain unmoved.

"Thank you, senior sister."

Lin Chang'an remained calm; it was absolutely impossible to bind him.

As for Yun Yao, it's different because the two of them are the same kind of people. They both have their own pursuit of their own path and their Dao hearts are firm. Neither of them will live the way the other imagines.

They are themselves.

Lin Chang'an then left the sect quietly, known only to the two Supreme Elders and the Sword Attendant.

He left secretly this time, so he didn't bring the Green Horned Ox with him and left it in the cave.
