Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans...

Chapter 463 Azure Ox Celebrates the Collection of Clouds and Schemes, Talisman Master in Red Robes
The birth of a Nascent Soul cultivator can determine the rise and fall of a sect, and has an invisible impact on the vast Dao Protection Alliance, even setting the stage for a turbulent era.

Especially since it is a fourth-order transformed demon, its lifespan is generally far greater than that of human cultivators of the same order.

In the world of cultivation, any sect or clan that has a fourth-order transformed demon beast is considered a sacred beast that can protect the sect for thousands of years.

After the Yuling Sect acquired a new transformed Green Horned Ox, the news quickly spread throughout the Protectorate Alliance.

Lin Chang'an hadn't thought much of it before, but seeing the expressions on the faces of everyone in the sect, and the envy Jin Jianchuan showed upon his arrival, he suddenly realized.

The reason I didn't feel anything was that I didn't grow up in a sect or a large clan, so my sense of belonging wasn't that strong.

The second factor is his own strength. With his ability to transform into an avatar, the successful transformation of the Green Horned Ox gave him an extra boost.

A fourth-tier transformed spirit pet represents a significant boost to the strength of any Nascent Soul cultivator, or even a major power.

"With the birth of the sect's sacred beast, and now the addition of True Monarch Ice Butterfly and True Monarch Lin to our Spirit Control lineage, we are poised for a great and prosperous future!"

Many cultivators within the sect were extremely excited, as they had gained another powerful demon form, following the thunderous force that had annihilated the Sima clan.

For the cultivators within the sect, it seemed as if they had witnessed the sect's most glorious moment in a thousand years.

Meanwhile, many members of the sect who wanted to admire the transformed demon king were waiting at the foot of the mountain.

outside the hall.

The mighty, transformed demon, Green Horned Ox, lay prone on the ground, displaying a docile and content expression.

"I have met Lord Qingniu."

"Greetings, Lord Green Ox."

Inside the Yuling Sect, Core Formation cultivators were overjoyed, and some even brought their disciples to visit.

The Green Horned Ox nodded in satisfaction. After all, it had lived in the sect for so many years and recognized many Core Formation cultivators.

These Core Formation cultivators knew the bull's preferences, and one by one they brought out the spiritual fruits they usually wouldn't take out.

"Okay, all is well."

The Green Horned Ox was overjoyed. With its strong arms, it embraced the spiritual fruits and began to happily gnaw on them.

If it had known that transforming into human form would bring so many delicious spiritual fruits, it should have cultivated even harder.

I must work hard in my cultivation in the future and strive to break through as soon as possible so that I can get these cultivators to send me another congratulatory gift.

……

Meanwhile, inside the main hall, Lin Chang'an and Ice Butterfly True Monarch were receiving Jin Jianchuan, while the situation of Green Horned Ox outside naturally did not escape the detection of the three's divine senses.

The Green Horned Ox's complete lack of the majesty expected of a fourth-tier demon made Lin Chang'an rub his forehead, revealing an embarrassed and helpless expression.

I really don't know who this ox learned from. It's willing to abandon the dignity of a fourth-tier great demon just for a little bit of spiritual fruit.
"Hehe, I was a little worried before that my junior brother's spirit pet would need to get used to it, but it seems that it doesn't need to now. Besides, the Green Ox really likes the sect."

Upon seeing this, the Ice Butterfly Fairy smiled even more broadly.

The friendly and easygoing attitude that Qingjiao Niu displayed towards the sect can be said to be of great help in stabilizing morale within the sect and deterring external forces.

Most of the sacred beasts that guard the sect are either unruly or have strange tempers; in short, most are extremely difficult to serve.

And what's so special about the Green Horned Ox liking to eat spiritual fruits? In the cultivation world, it's practically the most worshipped sacred beast.

Moreover, he has a good temper and will not easily cause turmoil or incite fear among his staff.

“This ox has been with me since I was in the Qi Refining stage. After raising it for so many years, it has also picked up my lazy nature.”

Lin Chang'an seemed to be saying something apologetic, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

After a demon beast transforms into human form, some spirit pets may become dissatisfied with their master-servant relationship, have poor affection for each other, and lack sufficient spiritual bond. It is possible that they may even turn on their master.

At the very least, one should be equal to the owner and show mutual respect.

There have even been cases of animals devouring their masters.

It is extremely rare to find a docile ox like the Green Horned Ox.

When Jin Jianchuan saw this scene, he nodded with envy. This shows that Lin Zhenjun truly cared for his spirit pet and did not simply use it.

"Lin Daoyou is blessed."

The three of them chatted with smiles, but to outsiders, it appeared that Jin Jianchuan was busy mediating conflicts between various factions within the Protectorate Alliance.

Outsiders were unaware of their breakthrough; they only knew that after the Sima clan was destroyed, the Yuling Sect directly incorporated the Sima clan's spiritual lands into its territory.

Corpse Valley and Daqian clearly felt threatened, and the two sides secretly began to approach each other.

Although no conflict has broken out, the situation is clearly not good. In addition, border battles are frequent, and this Alliance Leader Jin has visited several Nascent Soul cultivators in succession.

On the surface, it's about mediating internal conflicts and joining forces to prepare for the provocation from the demonic path.

However, no one expected that Jin Jianchuan's main purpose was to visit the four major powers to discuss the plans that were about to be prepared.

“Fellow Daoists, we have already visited the Great Qian Dynasty, Corpse Valley, and the Murong family. No one would have thought we would be so bold. We cannot say that our plan is foolproof.”

But whoever dares to leak this information, we'll join forces and eliminate them first!

Things are made secret, and words are leaked.

Everyone understands this principle, let alone Nascent Soul cultivators who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years.

"That's fine too. Although these scattered Nascent Soul cultivators will provide one more combatant, the risk of leaks is even greater."

Ice Butterfly True Monarch calmly nodded in approval of this plan.

The biggest advantage of the four major powers—Da Qian, Corpse Valley, Yu Ling Sect, and Murong Clan—is that their foundations are entirely here. They have many concerns and dare not act recklessly.

Moreover, the benefits gained after the deed is the greatest, so there is generally no reason to betray them.

"It's a good thing that Fellow Daoist Lin's spirit pet successfully transcended its tribulation. It can provide an extra layer of insurance for our plans."

Everyone present was a shrewd and calculating person, and Lin Chang'an and Fairy Bingdie naturally understood the meaning behind Jin Jianchuan's cheerful remark.

Lin Chang'an nodded slightly with a smile on his lips.

"In that case, I will officially announce that the Transformation Ceremony of the Azure Ox will be held three months from now, and all forces of the Protectorate Alliance will be invited to attend."

Two months later, when they were about to take action, while everyone was captivated by the Transformation Ceremony, they had already secretly arrived in Cloud City.

“That’s excellent. Once we take Cloud City, I, Jin, guarantee that I will definitely give Lord Qingniu a congratulatory gift for his transformation ceremony.”

"Ahem, Fellow Daoist Jin, you can see that my Green Ox has just transformed and is still lacking a suitable weapon. If I could have a magic treasure to protect me, I would be an invaluable asset to Cloud City."

Lin Chang'an would naturally not help for nothing, and as for the so-called generous gift to be made up later, that was just empty talk.

What he said was true; the Green Horned Ox's combat strength was definitely much stronger than that of a Nascent Soul cultivator of the same level when it came to conquering cities and capturing strongholds.

"Fellow Daoist Lin is not one to suffer the slightest loss."

Jin Jianchuan was speechless for a moment, but he didn't think it was wrong. After all, the other party had put in the effort, so it was natural to ask for some benefits.

"I observe that Fellow Daoist Lin's spirit pet possesses immense power; finding a suitable magic weapon for it would be truly difficult."

Jin Jianchuan wasn't exaggerating when he said this, since body-refining cultivators are already rare, so where would they get so many magical treasures to keep?

Besides, this time the Green Horned Ox is doing its part for everyone. Even if it uses a magic weapon, the cost will be shared equally among everyone in the end.

"However, there are still some materials in Baibi City for forging precious treasures. After returning, I will temporarily forge one for Lord Qingniu."

After we take Cloud City, we'll gather the strength of the Protectorate Alliance to forge a suitable weapon or magical artifact for Lord Qingniu.

Lin Chang'an nodded with a smile after hearing this, thinking that Qingjiao Niu should show some appreciation for his efforts.

After their conversation, Jin Jianchuan spoke with a solemn expression, his brows furrowed with joy.

He felt as if the heavens were helping them succeed.

The Transformation Ceremony is far more attractive than the Nascent Soul Ceremony, after all, transformed demons are very rare.

The transformed demon's combat power is stronger than that of ordinary human cultivators of the same level. With the addition of a transformed demon to this operation, how could he not be happy?

Moreover, the Green Horned Ox is a type of monster that excels at conquering cities and strongholds, and is enormous and possesses terrifying strength.

This made Jin Jianchuan grin from ear to ear; it was a great thing, an incredibly great thing.

"Fellow Daoist, I've been delayed by a few days. We agreed that you would introduce me to someone?"

After the three discussed their plans, Jin Jianchuan, displaying remarkable composure, smiled elegantly and softly inquired about the matter.

"We were delayed a bit by the Green Horned Ox. This fellow Daoist arrived long ago, but he's been lingering in the market outside. How about tomorrow?"

"How could I dare to keep this fourth-tier talisman master waiting?"

Jin Jianchuan's only thought now is to get to know this fourth-tier talisman master, since a great battle is imminent and his plan will definitely offend the Demonic Path.

He could foresee, even with his eyes closed, that what awaited him was a frenzied counterattack from the demonic forces.

If a fourth-tier talisman master were to provide a spirit talisman, it would be an absolutely strategic-level spiritual item for this war.

Ice Butterfly Fairy was also curious and wanted to meet this close friend of Junior Brother Lin.

Did you know it yourself? Or did you not know it?

Not only him, but even Jin Jianchuan had a vague suspicion that it might be the two who had gone missing.

However, the chances seem slim, since the two missing individuals never displayed any skill or talent.

"In that case, I will send a telepathic message to my friend, and we will secretly go to the market to meet this fellow Daoist."

Lin Chang'an said with a big smile, "The Green Horned Ox has successfully transformed, and now someone is rushing to give me a fourth-order talisman inheritance. I'm naturally happy to have two pieces of good news."

He then pretended to send a telepathic message to his friend, and the three of them then discussed things in the main hall with smiles on their faces.

As the sun set, Lin Chang'an and Bingdie Zhenjun personally saw Jin Jianchuan off.

At this moment, almost all the cultivators in the sect were focused on the newly advanced transformed demon, and had no time to pay attention to anything else.

This time, the three of them secretly went to an inconspicuous market outside the sect.

……

As night fell, the market was brightly lit, and joyful laughter filled the air.

This place is home to a large number of low-level Qi Refining cultivators, most of whom are descendants and family members of sect disciples, resulting in an extremely rich atmosphere of daily life here.

After all, Qi Refining cultivators are just stronger mortals.

High-level cultivators, through simply abstaining from grains, subtly transcend the mundane world and gradually detach themselves from this worldly atmosphere.

Inside an ordinary restaurant.

Looking out the window at the lively scene outside, Lin Chang'an and Fairy Bingdie inside the private room had different expressions.

Jin Jianchuan, who was born into a family of high-ranking cultivators, naturally could not understand this feeling.

"Although the Spirit Control lineage is labeled as the demonic path, they live a happy life within their territory."

Jin Jianchuan smiled with emotion. This was also because the Yuling Sect had Elder Cheng, a Grand Elder who was both a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator and a fourth-level alchemist, in charge before.

This allowed the Yuling Sect to remain relatively stable for hundreds of years, accumulating such a vast fortune.

If the two sides cannot determine a winner in terms of high-end combat power, then it comes down to their underlying strength.

These countless low-level cultivators became consumables.

"How could Fellow Daoist Jin understand the hardships of cultivators at the bottom?"

Although the two sides had cooperated, the Ice Butterfly Fairy still spoke coldly and arrogantly, her brows clearly indicating that the two were not the same kind of people.

Looking at her junior brother Lin beside her, she felt a sense of warmth in her heart. Their experiences were very similar; they had both climbed up from the bottom.

This shared empathy subtly brings the two closer together.

Just then, a figure pushed open the door and entered. The moment he appeared, he amazed Ice Butterfly Fairy and Jin Jianchuan. However, his first words immediately changed the expressions of the three people present.

"Brother Lin, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

The newcomer was indeed dressed in red. However, upon seeing the three people present, her gaze fell upon Lin Chang'an, and she immediately revealed a tender and affectionate expression.

At this moment, Lin Chang'an's eyes twitched. This woman in red was definitely petty and was retaliating against his secret vigilance.

When Jin Jianchuan saw the newcomer, he was stunned. He hadn't expected it to be another stunningly beautiful female cultivator. But when he saw Lin Chang'an standing next to her, he felt that this was more normal.

The Ice Butterfly Fairy smiled, but glanced at Lin Chang'an beside her.

"Hehe, junior brother, this must be your close friend."

The emphasis on close friends, in particular, left Lin Chang'an speechless.

This! He wanted to say that it's not what you think.

However, Jin Jianchuan and Fairy Bingdie felt it was only natural and both smiled and stood up to greet them with clasped hands.

"I've met Taoist friends."

Both of them are ambitious and decisive people. Even Ice Butterfly True Monarch is very proud. How could she possibly be jealous like those low-level female cultivators?

She is Lin Shidi's rightful senior sister, and she has her own path; she will never become anyone's appendage.

Only mediocre people argue about such meaningless things.

She was dressed in a flowing crimson dress that trailed on the ground, her wide sleeves billowing as if flames were rising into the sky. Her black hair cascaded down her back, held up by a single red-gold phoenix hairpin. Her phoenix eyes sparkled with a captivating lightness as she tilted her head, and her lips, slightly pursed, exuded a myriad of charms.

At this moment, the woman in red had a big smile on her face. She first bowed to the two of them, then bypassed Jin Jianchuan and sat down next to Lin Chang'an, forming a situation with the Ice Butterfly Fairy and the other woman on the left and right.

Seeing this, Jin Jianchuan's eyes twitched, but he felt no anger, only a sense of powerlessness.

"I should have realized long ago that it was impossible to dig up this close friend of Fellow Daoist Lin."

As a cultivator at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, Jin Jianchuan believed that his supernatural abilities and methods were second to none.

On this one point, he truly had no competitive spirit whatsoever, and felt only deep admiration for Lin Chang'an.

He never imagined that there would actually be someone in the cultivation world who could achieve this.

"Brother Lin, let me make you some spiritual tea."

As soon as she sat down, the woman in red appeared gentle and skillfully picked up the spirit tea to brew it. Her movements were so practiced that it was clear that the two had a special relationship, and she had practiced brewing the tea countless times.

"And this Ice Butterfly, please."

When the second cup of spiritual tea was placed in front of the Ice Butterfly Fairy, the woman in red smiled and generously gestured for it to be served.

The Ice Butterfly Fairy also gave it a deep look, and then smiled.

"Fellow Daoist's cultivation is extraordinary. I am very grateful to you for taking good care of my junior brother before."

The woman in red smiled and nodded slightly. Her snow-white skin made her appear even more radiant, and the ethereal aura surrounding her was mixed with a touch of arrogance.

Standing in the crowd, she was like a goddess being cooked in a blazing fire, breathtakingly beautiful yet unapproachable. This arrogance seemed to be innate.

"Fellow Daoist, please." After the third cup was placed down, Jin Jianchuan reluctantly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, fellow Daoist."

At that moment, he had given up hope.

As for how beautiful and charming they were, everyone present was a Nascent Soul cultivator who had cultivated for many years, and each of them was a person with a firm will, so naturally they would not be affected.

However, this fellow Daoist was indeed amazing, but it was his strength that made Jin Jianchuan and Fairy Bingdie secretly suspicious.

He possessed peak early-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, but his cultivation level was somewhat strange, seemingly fluctuating.

Faced with the two men's subtle probing, the woman in red naturally noticed, and a smile played on her lips, yet it also revealed an ethereal air of nobility.

"I am in red robes. Please, fellow Daoists."

The moment she raised her teacup, the woman in red deliberately displayed her strength, and in the instant her figure flickered, the pupils of both Ice Butterfly Fairy and Jin Jianchuan shrank.

Two words flashed through my mind in an instant: Ghost Cultivator!

No wonder they always felt a bit unsettled.

Considering Lin Chang'an's cultivation path, his frequent appearances in the Tongtian Mist Sea, and his lineage from the Yin Soul Sect, the two seemed to have many ideas.

"So it's you, fellow Daoist in red."

At that moment, Fairy Ice Butterfly suddenly realized why the other party called her "sister." Ghost cultivators have long lifespans, and the moment the other party revealed their true nature, it also showed that their soul had been injured.

The opponent's cultivation level at its peak was probably at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, but the two of them didn't think much about the later stages.

"Fellow Daoist in Red."

Jin Jianchuan composed himself and solemnly raised his teacup in greeting.

Although his initial plan to poach talent is probably doomed, the deal that needs to be negotiated can still be discussed.

Only Lin Chang'an, looking into the eyes of the two, felt that he would never be able to shake off this rumor in the future.

It wasn't that he didn't want to use his clone, but rather that his clone might not be strong enough to face two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

The red-clothed figure's soul is now integrated with the sword servant's. If she were to disregard her original body, she could completely disguise herself as a ghost cultivator, and her strength would be astonishing.

“Fellow Daoist in red, this is the one I told you about before.”

Lin Chang'an gave a forced smile and put on a show, introducing the woman in red again.

However, the warning in his eyes was obvious, and the woman in red seemed to be taking advantage of her unity with the sword servant, no longer showing the restraint she had before, but instead revealing a pitiful look.

"Brother Lin."

Despite exuding an aura of unapproachable nobility, she feigned weakness in front of Lin Chang'an, leaving Lin Chang'an speechless.

However, they saw things very differently in each of their eyes.

Ice Butterfly Fairy's eyes flickered, and she thought to herself that this female cultivator was indeed eyeing her junior brother's body. After all, she knew that her junior brother possessed a spiritual body after so many years of dual cultivation.

Even so, the prestige of a fourth-tier ghost cultivator suggests that something must have happened between the two.

Jin Jianchuan remained silent for a moment. He hadn't expected that in the cultivation world, besides his method of using benefits to win over cultivators, there was another way to win over high-level cultivators.

only!

When he caught a glimpse of the faint white hairs at Lin Chang'an's temples out of the corner of his eye, he sighed inwardly. What good was knowing about this method?

If this Ice Butterfly True Monarch was willing to sacrifice a hundred years of his lifespan, what else must others have gone through?

Treating others with utmost sincerity is not so easy, especially as one lives longer and becomes more clear-headed, with self-interest often taking precedence over genuine friendship.

After setting aside his distracting thoughts, Jin Jianchuan brought up the matter of using talismans to win over people. Although he knew in his heart that it wouldn't be that easy, he wouldn't give up until he tried.

“Fellow Daoist, your inheritance as a fourth-tier Heavenly Talisman True Monarch is indeed excellent, but with the imminent invasion of the demonic path, it is estimated that war will break out in a few decades…”

When discussing serious matters, the woman in red also displayed the composure befitting a Nascent Soul cultivator, exuding an air of dominance from her brows as she calmly fought for her own interests.

These words also indirectly prove that they are unaware of your secret schemes, but this is the situation of the Protectorate Alliance on the surface.

Lin Chang'an, on the other hand, watched from the sidelines with the Ice Butterfly Fairy. After all, even if they were close friends, he couldn't get involved when it came to interests.

After some discussion, the two parties finally reached an agreement.

"The four great talisman inheritances—Spirit Armor Talisman, Forbidden-Breaking Talisman, Incarnation Talisman, and Soul-Suppressing Talisman—can be given to fellow Daoists, and there are even talisman insights from the Heavenly Talisman True Monarch."

However, fellow Daoist, you must guarantee that you will not sell the talismans to outsiders during the war. Even after the war ends, if my Dao Protection Alliance has any needs in the future, you must give priority to my Dao Protection Alliance.”

"Naturally, as long as you provide the materials, I have no interest in getting involved in your messy affairs."

The woman in red appeared completely uninterested in your war, while her gaze frequently drifted towards Lin Chang'an, and she even teased him:
"I helped Brother Lin so much last time, and he promised to lend me the Sima clan's spiritual land for cultivation."

"Of course." Lin Chang'an nodded slightly.

Now that there are phoenixes, green-horned oxen, and red-clothed figures, if so many Nascent Soul cultivators were still in the Yuling Sect, their cultivation by absorbing spiritual energy would surely be discovered.

Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that he wiped out the Sima clan last time, he could legitimately secure a place for himself to cultivate.

Ice Butterfly True Monarch had no objection to this, after all, after the Sima clan was destroyed, their territory had come under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Spirit Sect.

Moreover, being able to befriend a fourth-tier rune master is more valuable than anything else when it comes to personal gain.

"it is good."

After discussing the cooperation, both parties showed satisfied smiles.

Lin Chang'an also knew that this Fellow Daoist Jin had not brought out the entire inheritance of the Heavenly Talisman True Monarch; at the very least, there wasn't a single offensive talisman.

It's not that they're reluctant to part with them, but rather that during the current war, defensive and life-saving talismans are of greater value to the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Protectorate Alliance.

Nascent Soul cultivators also possess formidable attack methods.

Of course, by preserving this part of the talisman inheritance, this fellow Daoist Jin probably also has the idea of ​​collaborating again in the future.

In short, it's always better to be prepared.

Although he already possessed the Spirit Armor Talisman inheritance, the talisman insights of this Heavenly Talisman True Lord were the most important.

"So, fellow Daoist in red can also be considered a friend of my Dao Protection Alliance."

The four men raised their glasses to celebrate the successful negotiation, but Jin Jianchuan still did not give up on winning them over.

Completely poaching them is unrealistic, but befriending and winning them over is never a bad idea.

However, upon hearing this, the woman in red glanced at Lin Chang'an with a flicker of her eye, then smiled and teased him:

"Brother Lin is a friend of the Protectorate Alliance, and so am I."

This scene made Jin Jianchuan's eyes twitch. He glanced at Lin Chang'an, a complex look of admiration in his heart.

Despite years of meticulous planning, I haven't managed to gather this many helpers.

As a result, they...

"Ahem, fellow Daoist in red is joking."

"Isn't that right? Doesn't the woman in red share the same fate as Brother Lin, rising and falling together?"

That meaningful smile, though the woman in red was clearly mocking her life being in someone else's hands, was interpreted differently by others.

It's obvious that the two have a deep history.

At the same time, the two also learned that this mysterious red-robed Daoist was probably involved in the extermination of the Sima clan, thus confirming the identity of the fifth person from back then.

The True Lord of the Dark Moon, Su Miaoyin, True Lord Lu, the transformed Xuan Shui Turtle, and this ghost cultivator in red.

There were exactly five people, and they matched perfectly.

After the transaction was completed, they had even bigger plans in mind, so they took their leave without lingering.

……

Yu Ling Sect.

"Good junior brother, what does it feel like to be called good brother by a powerful Nascent Soul ghost cultivator?"

Upon returning, the Ice Butterfly Fairy spoke with a smile and teasing tone, leaving Lin Chang'an speechless.

He now feels like he's in a deep abyss and can't clear his name.

"Senior sister, stop fooling around. This red-clothed person is clearly making fun of you."

Lin Chang'an said helplessly, while Ice Butterfly Fairy smiled radiantly. She wasn't stupid; how could she not see through it?

But it was precisely because they saw it that they realized their relationship was even more unusual.

Otherwise, how could an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator possibly play games with you like this?

However, looking at Lin Chang'an's handsome face, the Ice Butterfly Fairy's eyes were misty as she whispered in his ear:

“Junior brother, everyone in the cultivation world is driven by profit, and even your senior sister is no exception. When the profit is tempting enough, I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist the temptation.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'an smiled and looked at the Ice Butterfly Fairy beside him, nodding slightly in return.

“Of course, my junior brother will also be tempted by the prospect of personal gain.”

After their eyes met, they both smiled.

This openness and honesty may be the key to their ability to connect.

Just then, a cool, jade-like hand slid out and grasped the familiar Azure Dragon Spirit Brush.

"I heard that my junior brother was quite talented in the art of talismans back then."

Ice Butterfly Fairy took out Lin Chang'an's Azure Dragon Spirit Brush, her eyes filled with a mocking smile.

Lin Chang'an raised an eyebrow.

"Senior sister, let your junior brother teach you the art of talismans properly. First of all, there are many ways to use this spirit brush."

Her palms touched the silky skin as her palace dress slowly unfastened, revealing her firm and smooth abdomen.

However, at that moment, a disciple's voice requesting an audience came from outside the Snow Peak Hall, causing the two to temporarily stop teaching.

"Disciple Shen Meier greets the Supreme Elder."

After receiving permission from True Monarch Ice Butterfly, Shen Meier, who had just broken through to the late Foundation Establishment stage, respectfully entered the main hall.

She dared not be disrespectful to the two Supreme Elders at the head of the table, especially since Ice Butterfly True Monarch was her master.

"Hmm, not bad. It seems you haven't been lazy in your cultivation all these years. With your age, your current level of cultivation is not a waste of your talent. You are expected to form your core at the age of one hundred."

Shen Meier was born with a spiritual body, which the two of them naturally knew, but they simply claimed to the outside world that she had an earth spiritual root.

"The reason I summoned you here is that I obtained some ancient insect eggs by chance in Baibi City, and they were hatched with the help of your Uncle Lin."

One pair of them were ancient, wondrous, enchanting butterflies. Though not powerful spirit insects, they were a perfect match for your constitution.

At the last Guardian Alliance conference, Jin Jianchuan gave some insect eggs, which Lin Chang'an and Fairy Ice Butterfly worked together to hatch, and about 60% of them survived.

This was only because Lin Chang'an secretly injected Xuan Tian magic power into him; otherwise, it would have been lucky for him to survive even 20%.

As for why only 40% survived, it wasn't because he lacked ability, but because some of the insect eggs were already dead inside, beyond human remedy.

"Thank you Master!"

When she saw that her master had bestowed upon her an ancient and wondrous insect, as well as the secret techniques of the Spirit Control lineage, Shen Meier was overjoyed.

She has cultivated for over sixty years and is no longer the naive little girl she once was.

The most powerful aspect of the Spirit Control lineage lies in these secret techniques, but the lack of correspondingly powerful spirit insects has led to these secret techniques being shelved.

"Concentrate your mind and first use your essence and blood to refine the spirit insect."

Inside the main hall, Shen Meier quickly calmed herself down, then used a secret technique to force out a drop of essence blood, and began to refine and feed the pair of insect eggs in the jade bottle that already had movement inside.

However, at that moment, Lin Chang'an was startled, for a jade hand reached out from under the jade table once again.

"Good junior brother."

In front of her own disciple, the Ice Butterfly Fairy smiled gracefully and actually sat down on his lap with an air of nonchalance.

Upon seeing this, Shen Meier below hurriedly lowered her head. She was not unaware of the rumors about her master and uncle.

Ice Butterfly True Monarch often didn't hide his true feelings, which is why the sect is so united now.

However, given that Shen Meier was focused on cultivating her secret techniques and her master was a Nascent Soul cultivator, she dared not think too much about such things.

"Disciple, Pingqi, concentrate and focus on practicing the secret technique."

"Yes!"

As Shen Meier took a deep breath and focused on refining the spirit insect, the Ice Butterfly Fairy at the head of the table glanced at Lin Chang'an, her lips slightly parted, and she mouthed a sentence.

"Good junior brother, now let your senior sister teach you another way to use the Azure Dragon Talisman Brush."

As Lin Chang'an gasped in shock, the Ice Butterfly Fairy slowly sat down in his lap.

This feeling is hard to describe; it can only be described as intoxicating.

As she slowly sat down, the Ice Butterfly Fairy blushed like a sunset, revealing her firm and delicate abdomen, with a bulge slowly sliding down her body.

At the head of the main hall, Lin Chang'an and Fairy Bingdie embraced, appearing to have a close relationship.

With the help of the powerful supernatural abilities of the Nascent Soul cultivators, the upper bodies of the two remained unmoved, while their robes fell down to cover their intertwined figures.

A few hours later.

Shen Meier opened her eyes, her face pale, but a look of joy shone through.

"Master, I have succeeded."

"Yes, go down and rest properly. Now that the border war has broken out again, do not neglect your cultivation."

"Yes, Master."

Throughout the entire process, Shen Meier only showed excitement and exhilaration at obtaining the ancient spirit insect. After respectfully bowing, she excitedly took her leave.

When only the two of them remained in the main hall, Ice Butterfly True Monarch flipped over and pinned Lin Chang'an to the jade table, coldly sneering:
"Good junior brother, how does your senior sister compare to your lovely younger sister in red?"

Ice Butterfly Fairy wouldn't suffer any loss, and she didn't care how strong this red-clothed ghost cultivator was at the peak of his cultivation.

All she knew was that since this red-robed ghost cultivator addressed her junior brother Lin as "Brother Lin," then she was in a good position.

“Senior sister, now that we’re all alone, let your junior brother teach you some other uses of this spirit brush. Your current method isn’t quite as elegant as it could be.”

Lin Chang'an grabbed her slender waist and lifted her high into the air. Both of them were Nascent Soul cultivators, so various high-difficulty maneuvers, even levitating and flying in the sky, were commonplace for them.

The two are closely connected, and with the impending war approaching, this will likely be a rare period of free time for them.
