Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans...

Chapter 472 Yuncheng Zichao Yuyi Knocks on the Heart [Seeking Double Monthly Tickets]

Inside the main hall of Cloud City.

As the banquet ended and the atmosphere of war on the front lines became heavy, Jin Jianchuan, the vice leader of the Protectorate Alliance, was in the main hall with Lin Chang'an and others.

The White Crane Fairy, who had specifically mentioned Lin Chang'an at the banquet, now stood below, pale-faced, like a lonely, helpless leaf in the wind.

"Young friend Baihe, how dare you! I did promise you that I would not harm you in the slightest, and I would even provide you with treasures to heal your spirit pet, as well as resources for Nascent Soul formation."

But this is not a reason for you, a mere Core Formation cultivator, to act so recklessly!

A majestic snort echoed in the hall. Faced with the terrifying pressure of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, Fairy White Crane was sweating profusely and her face was pale as if she had just recovered from a serious illness.

Yet he persevered despite his gritting his teeth, which shows his unwavering determination.

"Junior brother, don't you feel sorry for this little beauty?"

Inside the main hall, after seeing this scene, Fairy Ice Butterfly smiled and teased him through telepathy, while Lin Chang'an calmly raised his teacup and took a sip, his expression undisturbed.

"Senior Sister is joking. How dare a mere Core Formation cultivator scheme against a Nascent Soul cultivator! Humph!"

Although they had met once before, the transaction was fair between the two parties.

As for beauty?

There are countless beauties in the cultivation world; any high-level cultivator could possess one with just a word.

Therefore, Lin Chang'an felt no emotion whatsoever towards this White Crane Fairy.

After a while, Jin Jianchuan let out a cold snort and withdrew his aura, causing the White Crane Fairy below to stumble and almost fall.

"If there is a next time, I will not show any mercy."

The white crane fairy below took a deep breath and weakly cupped her hands, saying, "Thank you, senior."

However, none of the people present took the White Crane Fairy seriously; this was the survival-of-the-fittest law of the cultivation world.

“Fellow Daoist Lin, as you have seen, it was this young friend who revealed the information earlier. I, Jin, have never intended to scheme against you.”

Lin Chang'an is a formidable fighter with extensive connections, and he also has the powerful Yu Ling Sect. Since the war has only just begun, Jin Jianchuan would naturally not want to damage their relationship.

As Jin Jianchuan explained, Lin Chang'an and Fairy Bingdie nodded in agreement. No wonder Jin Jianchuan knew so much about the demonic path.

After all that, it turns out the information was revealed by the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Beast Sect, one of the six major sects of the demonic path, the White Crane Fairy.

The transaction involved the opportunity to form a Nascent Soul, revealing the decisiveness and ruthlessness of this White Crane Fairy.

When they are used as pawns by the sect, they are equally willing to put themselves into the game and make their own moves.

"What a courage."

Lin Chang'an was impressed by the boldness of this mere Core Formation female cultivator, and also by the courage of this Fellow Daoist Jin. If this was a trap, then things would be very troublesome.

Even the Ice Butterfly Fairy looked solemn. At their level of cultivation, they are usually very cautious, but they are willing to take any risk if there is enough benefit.

When Jin Jianchuan saw the admiration of his fellow practitioners, he burst into laughter, a rare occurrence for him. Only he knew the immense pressure he had been under.

"Having come this far in the path of cultivation, how can one advance further and plan for the late Nascent Soul stage without the spirit to swallow the heavens and the courage to take a gamble?"

Jin Jianchuan smiled domineeringly, making no attempt to hide his ambition. He had been planning for many years, and this time he had taken risks time and time again. What was he after?
The path to hegemony is the way.

He knew that although his talent was not bad, the cultivation world was never short of geniuses, but how many people could actually reach the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm?
In the path of cultivation, one either progresses or regresses; he chose the path of courageous advancement and seizing every opportunity.

Without the right opportunity, breaking through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Therefore, only with the support of endless resources could he achieve his great ambition and have the opportunity to plot for the position of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

"I admire Fellow Daoist Jin's courage."

At this moment, Lin Chang'an felt genuine admiration and couldn't help but raise his glass in a toast.

This person is indeed a hero, but the cultivation world has never lacked trendsetters, but in the end, how many can stand in the end after the great waves have washed away the sand?
Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an sighed inwardly. If he hadn't had such a fortuitous opportunity, he might have also relied on the resources of the Yuling Sect to plot his hegemony.

After all, it is too difficult for a Nascent Soul cultivator to cultivate.

Even he was scheming in this great battle. He seemed to be proficient in four skills, but he couldn't easily expose himself. He had to devise a plausible identity.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, not to mention whether there would be such an opportunity, the demand is not great.

Ultimately, even he was using the war between demons and demons to gather resources for his own cultivation.

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an pondered inwardly about his cultivation of the Dharma, body, and spirit.

We also need to cultivate the Mysterious Heavenly Vine, which requires even more resources. Hopefully, we can cultivate the sixth Mysterious Heavenly Leaf soon.

At this moment, the White Crane Fairy below deeply felt the meaning of the saying "Those below the Nascent Soul stage are all ants".

The Nascent Soul cultivators present were exchanging pleasantries, treating her as if she were nothing. This situation made Fairy White Crane's desire to form a Nascent Soul even stronger.

Once she took that step, there was no turning back.

“Fellow Daoist Lin, this young friend Baihe’s ancestors did indeed have a favor to me. After this transaction, I will tell others that it was an insider who leaked the information.”

This wasn't because Jin Jianchuan was being kind; it was purely because this act of creating a friend out of thin air could cause turmoil within the demonic path.

Lin Chang'an was well aware that this Fellow Daoist Jin had probably ulterior motives in keeping them and the White Crane Fairy here.

Jin Jianchuan looked down at the person below, and Baihe Fairy, a mere Core Formation cultivator, took a deep breath, cupped her hands, lowered her head, and said in a deep voice:

"There are also several factions within the Spirit Beast Sect. Our ancestor cultivated many disciples over a thousand years. If I am fortunate enough to reach the Nascent Soul stage, I can take over the lineage left by my ancestors."

Hearing the words of the White Crane Fairy, Lin Chang'an and the Ice Butterfly Fairy's eyes flickered. Jin Jianchuan, on the other hand, nodded calmly.

"I will not break my promise regarding the deal between us."

He patted the storage bag at his waist, and saw two flashes of spiritual light, revealing a rare spiritual herb that could restore the soul, and a Nascent Soul Pill.

"This Fellow Daoist Lin has inherited the legacy of the Yin Soul Sect. With Fellow Daoist Lin's help, your spirit beast's injuries should be able to recover quickly."

After throwing out the traded spirit item, Jin Jianchuan gave Lin Chang'an a kind look, clearly indicating that he was doing him a favor.

However, upon hearing this, Fairy White Crane shifted her gaze, landing on Fairy Ice Butterfly and the white-clad figure. She gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice:

"Seniors, spirit beasts and spirit creatures are one family. Although there are restrictions within my divine sense, I will help you if you are willing to do so."

"This humble woman swears by her inner demons that she will never harbor any ill intentions towards the Spirit Control lineage, and even if seniors have mercy on her..."

Before the other person could finish speaking, Lin Chang'an raised his hand to interrupt him.

He wasn't indiscriminate in his choices. Although Fairy White Crane was indeed stunning, whether it was Senior Sister Ice Butterfly, Fairy Rainbow Robe, or True Lord Mingyue, they were all exceptionally talented.

Not to mention Yun Yao, the two of them have supported each other through thick and thin.

"Help the spirit beast recover its soul!"

At this moment, Lin Chang'an narrowed his eyes, his gaze flickering, while the Ice Butterfly Fairy beside him was also secretly making plans.

“Junior brother, this is a good opportunity. Haven’t you been searching for the Four Symbols Pearls that can ward off wind, fire, water, and dust?”

These six demonic sects are all top-tier sects, rich in resources, far surpassing our previously disorganized Protectorate Alliance.

Jin Jianchuan also considered that the previous incident in the main hall would inevitably involve Lin Chang'an.

Therefore, asking the White Crane Fairy to beg Lin Chang'an was not only a way to compensate him, but also an attempt to win him over. After all, among the four major powers, although the Great Qian was not weak, the Qian Emperor would certainly not come to the front line.

The combined strength of the two members of the Yu Ling Sect can be said to be the strongest among the four major forces participating in the war.

This also reveals the Ice Butterfly Fairy's ambition. Although she has her own opportunities, no one will complain about the lack of cultivation resources.

"Shall we use this woman to negotiate a deal with the Spirit Beast Sect?"

Upon seeing this scene, Lin Chang'an narrowed his eyes. Whether it was the Four Symbols Pearl or the high-grade spiritual liquid, he would make a huge profit if he could trade for either one.

We are all Nascent Soul cultivators; cultivation level is the foundation of everything.

Finally, Lin Chang'an nodded calmly, which made the White Crane Fairy below feel as if she had been granted a pardon. She excitedly bowed repeatedly in gratitude.

"Thank you, senior!"

Having found herself in a perilous situation, she meticulously planned and schemed, finally managing to carve out a glimmer of hope for herself.

Her position was like dancing on a knife's edge; the slightest misstep would mean certain death.

The White Crane Fairy, whose inner garment was already soaked, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he secretly reminded himself that this was the price of being weak.

……

As war broke out, many resources and spiritual objects that were usually hidden away began to appear.

After all, no matter how good the treasure is, if you lose your life, you lose everything.

One by one, the Nascent Soul stage monsters brought out all the treasures they usually wouldn't part with, exchanging them for items that could quickly boost their strength.

Some families at the Core Formation and Foundation Establishment stages even gritted their teeth and brought out their treasures during this period.

Even rare Nascent Soul spirit objects appeared in large numbers, but most of them were traded at a premium by this Alliance Leader Jin.

Then it was announced that any talented cultivator willing to join the Guardian Alliance could potentially reach the Nascent Soul stage, provided they achieved outstanding military exploits.

It's obvious that they're using this to strengthen their team.

While war brings devastation and death, it also brings tremendous opportunities.

All the forces involved during this period made a lot of money, not to mention Lin Chang'an, who took on many big orders by using his four skills to create clones.

The alchemy clone relies on the resources provided by the Yuling Sect to refine pills.

The talisman and weapon-refining clones, under the guise of the red-clothed figure, cooperated with the Protectorate Alliance, resulting in a continuous influx of resources.

He not only honed his skills but also earned a considerable amount of money, achieving two goals at once.

There were even quite a few materials that he found somewhat appealing.

As for himself, thanks to his mastery of formations, his income from resources was not bad.

"We really caught a good time."

Lin Chang'an, who was in his cave at this moment, was overjoyed as he looked at the gains he had made over this period.

Only a bunch of Nascent Soul cultivators would be crazy to get involved in a war if there were no benefits to be gained.

"However, there is a large gap in demand right now. The Xuan Tian Immortal Vine needs to be cultivated, and the three spirit pets also need to be fed."

After careful consideration, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but sigh. Indeed, greed is the original sin.

"master."

Outside the cave, the Green Horned Ox stood with its burly body, carrying two small storage bags in its hands.

Upon entering the cave, Lin Chang'an raised an eyebrow and cast a questioning glance.

The green-horned ox, grinning憨憨地, scratched its head and reported:

"Master, this was delivered by the servants. They said it was the profit from mining spirit ore in the Cloud City area."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'an suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten that the Yu Ling Sect had also received a considerable share of the benefits from Cloud City.

After all, they had put in a lot of effort before.

Because the territory of Cloud City is on the front line, and these spirit mines were just captured, who knows how the future trend of the war will be.

Therefore, the profits below are almost all handed over monthly. Although it is a bit troublesome, it is better than if something goes wrong and the profits go to the demonic cultivators.

"Indeed, it is a rich spiritual land that even the demonic path covets."

Although it's not much, it's a steady stream of income, and in the long run, it's definitely not bad.

Lin Chang'an held the storage bag and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

The advantage of having a sect is that you don't have to do anything yourself. The sect disciples will take care of everything, such as selling spirit ore for the resources you need, or simply sending spirit stones.

"Sir, what about this one?"

The Green Horned Ox scratched its head, looking at its owner with an honest expression as it saw that the owner had only taken one storage bag, while it still had a small storage bag in its own hand.

"This is your share."

Looking at the green-horned ox, Lin Chang'an smiled and waved his hand.

They had contributed significantly to the attack on Cloud City by Green Horned Ox, and naturally they also received a share of the spoils.

The phoenix and the red-clad bird must not be exposed, otherwise they could earn even more.

"mine?"

Seeing the resources he had acquired, Qingjiao Niu grinned with excitement.

"Thank you, sir."

Actually, back in the Xuan Yin Pavilion, the third-tier Azure Horned Ox also received a stipend, only it was replaced with cultivation resources like spirit fruits.

This was the first time Green Horned Ox had ever experienced that there could be a reward for one's efforts.

"Owner!"

Just then, a golden light flashed, and then a pair of pitiful eyes appeared, staring at him.

At this moment, Jin Feng looked at the Green Horned Ox's storage bag, her golden eyes turning red, clearly envious of the Green Horned Ox.

Seeing this, Lin Chang'an was speechless. He wondered who Jin Feng got her personality from, that she wouldn't do anything without a reason.

"Alright, this one is yours."

Lin Chang'an shook his head helplessly and gave his share to Jin Feng, since he didn't need that much profit anyway.

Nowadays, the lion's share of profits is made during wartime.

"However, I'm planning to forge a natal magic weapon for you soon, but the materials are really a headache."

Although he handed over the storage bag, Lin Chang'an pretended to be frowning and casually put the jade tablet for refining magic weapons aside.

"A natal magic weapon? You'll forge one for me?"

Jin Feng looked puzzled, but after scanning with her divine sense, her golden eyes became even brighter.

The power of the magic weapon "Six Harmonies Mystic Mirror" and its power after being fused with its egg fragments made Jin Feng's eyes light up.

"Master, I want it, I want it, quickly refine it for me."

This magical artifact is just what it wants; it's practically tailor-made for it.

Upon seeing this, Lin Chang'an's lips curled slightly, but his face remained troubled as he shook his head and said:
"It's not as easy as you say. Although many rare resources began to circulate during the war, it's fine to barter for these spiritual items, but if you buy them with spirit stones, it will obviously cost 10% or 20% more."

Lin Chang'an looked troubled, while Jin Feng instantly realized what was going on, staring wide-eyed at her master's cunning expression.

It knew that its master would never suffer a loss. Not only did the master give it spirit stones, but the master would also make it return them and give back all the wealth it had accumulated.

"Master, I want it!"

Ultimately succumbing to the allure of the magical treasures, Jin Feng gritted her teeth and exhaled golden light, producing storage bags one after another, which made Lin Chang'an's eyes widen in disbelief.

Although he knew that Jin Feng was a money-grubber, he never expected that she had accumulated such a large fortune without him even realizing it.

Good guy!
"I really don't know where you learned this self-serving personality from, Master. Mistress Yun is usually very generous."

At this moment, Jin Feng couldn't help but recall how generous the Cloud Mistress was every time she visited it, while its own master simply exploited it.

"Hmph, if I had been less useful to you back then, you probably would have been thinking of defecting after you formed your core, right?"

Lin Chang'an's curt reply made Jin Feng give an awkward smile, and then she started trying to please him.

"How could that be? My loyalty to my master is as clear as the sun and moon, absolute loyalty!"

Looking at Jin Feng, who was fawning over him and running around doing errands, Lin Chang'an smiled and waved his hand.

"Alright, it's fine if you've been saving up all this wealth all this time, but now that it's wartime, if you miss this opportunity, it won't be so easy to find these rare resources again in the future."

Lin Chang'an remained calm and composed; he wouldn't stoop so low as to covet Jin Feng's small stash of money.

Rather, this is a rare opportunity, and whenever we encounter rare materials, we naturally want to purchase them all.

Therefore, he should take advantage of this opportunity to exchange his savings for rare resources.

After all, he wouldn't lack spirit stones, which are common cultivation materials, thanks to the Yuling Sect and the Xuanyin Pavilion's merchant guild.

Moreover, the other materials needed to refine this magic weapon for Jin Feng are also not cheap.

"Don't worry, if there are suitable resources for you, you won't be short of them."

Gently stroking Jin Feng's little head, Lin Chang'an teased with a smile, "After raising her for so many years, how could I not have feelings for her?"

Similarly, having been together for hundreds of years, Lin Chang'an was not the kind of person who disregarded his spirit pets. Whether it was the Golden Phoenix, the Green Ox, or even the Yin Spirit Two-Headed Tiger, there was affection between them.

"And here's yours, you can use the axe for now."

Such a natal magic weapon takes a long time to refine and is quite complicated. More importantly, it needs to be compatible, which is why the Phoenix Bird is suitable for it.

Qingjiao-jun chuckled and scratched his head, seemingly unconcerned, since he was quite comfortable using that axe anyway.

"Green Ox."

Just then, Jin Feng's eyes lit up, clearly indicating that she had set her sights on the Green Horned Ox.

Although the Green Horned Ox had been honest and simple-minded for many years, it wasn't stupid. A sly glint appeared in its large, copper-bell-shaped eyes as it directly handed over the storage bag, feigning ignorance and saying:
“Master, we are at war now, and I may get injured at any time. I need some medicine and the like.”

Over the years, the Green Horned Ox has come up with a set of experiences: anything good that it keeps on itself will eventually fall into the hands of the Phoenix Bird without it even realizing it.

I simply handed it over to my husband; after all, I've never suffered a loss from it.

Upon seeing this, Jin Feng narrowed her eyes. This ox was no good; it had even learned to be cunning.

It seems I need to find an opportunity to teach this ox a lesson and let this stupid ox know who the boss is.

Lin Chang'an watched the ox and the bird scheming against each other and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile. These two clowns had been fighting ever since they were in Xuantian City.

They've been fighting for hundreds of years, and they're still using their cunning to fight each other.

Jin Feng squinted, bared her teeth at the Green Horned Ox, and revealed a sly smile in the curved shape of her eyebrows before showing her small fist.

"Hehe, little calf, right? Don't worry, your owner can't always be by your side. There will be times when you're all alone."

Upon seeing this, the burly blue horn ox immediately shrank its neck and instinctively looked longingly at its master.

Lin Chang'an was speechless. This girl had even learned to threaten people now.

However, before Green Horned Ox could complain, Golden Phoenix's big eyes welled up with tears, and she said in a pitiful voice:
“Master, I was the one who gave you the inner core of that demonic dragon back then.”

Upon hearing this, Green Horned Ox blushed and lowered his head, embarrassed, and said:
"Um, I'll pay, I'll pay."

"Times have changed. Now that you've taken human form, how can it be the same?"

The phoenix hummed twice, then extended two fingers, indicating that it wanted to pay double. The green-horned ox had unknowingly fallen for the trap and nodded repeatedly.

Seeing this, Lin Chang'an was speechless. This girl was fooling Qingniu again.

"Alright, you all better watch out in Cloud City these days."

Watching the two figures playfully bickering, a rare moment of comfort on this monotonous path of cultivation, Lin Chang'an smiled and nodded.

However, he immediately remembered that he had just broken through to the fourth level of body refinement, and a smile appeared on his face when he saw the Green Horned Ox.

"A fourth-order transformed demon, and a power-type one at that. Let's test the difference in power first."

The powerful physique of demonic beasts is innate, something that human cultivators cannot match; they can only achieve it through diligent cultivation.

"A contest of strength?"

Green Horned Ox chuckled and scratched his head, not thinking much of it.

The two then locked wrists together in mid-air, beginning a pure contest of strength.

The moment their power erupted, an invisible aura swept out. Only Jin Feng curled her lip, thinking that the barbarians were only competing in strength.

Its speed, the sharpness of its claws, and the golden divine flames that can cut through gold and jade and burn everything are its greatest strengths.

Of course, the solar essence fire of its own master is also quite good.

"boom!"

A terrifying force swept through, but Lin Chang'an did not use any supernatural powers; it was a pure contest of physical strength.

As a powerful demon skilled in transformation, the Green Horned Bull clearly gained the upper hand in the instant of the power struggle.

However, in the continuous struggle of expending power, the rugged face of the blue ox began to turn red, and its big, copper-bell-sized eyes revealed an expression of disbelief.

"Stupid ox, although the master is a human body cultivator, his cultivation techniques and spiritual talent, whether in terms of magic power or physical strength, are still very high."

In terms of endurance, even one more like you could wear them down.

Jin Feng, standing to the side, curled her lip, immediately noticing the difference in their abilities.

Without using supernatural powers, the Green Horned Ox has the advantage in explosive power, but in terms of endurance, Lin Chang'an is stronger.

After a while, the green-horned ox's eyes, which were the size of copper bells, became bloodshot, and white breath came out of its mouth and nose, but its wrist was gradually turned back.

As the two powerful forces clashed, the spiritual energy in the air trembled continuously.

"Okay, that's it."

Lin Chang'an eventually ended the competition, shaking his slightly sore arms, but his face was full of smiles.

The Green Horned Ox has strong explosive power and good endurance. If they were to really compete and determine a winner, it would take who knows how long.

Moreover, he has already tested his current strength.

"The fourth-order body refinement technique is indeed terrifying! No! It should be said that this technique is probably a top-tier technique even in the Upper Realm."

Lin Chang'an nodded secretly. After breaking through to the fourth level, he could clearly feel the strength of his body. His defense was comparable to that of a magic weapon, and his strength was not bad either.

……

At the border outpost, low-level cultivators from both sides have already begun fighting.

A sense of oppression, like a dark cloud pressing down on the city, grew stronger and stronger.

At this moment, inside Cloud City.

The captured White Crane Fairy is not restricted in any way except for leaving Cloud City on her own.

In particular, Jin Jianchuan openly declared his gratitude to the six sects of the demonic path, which can be seen as giving them respect.

After all, they had just been slapped in the face. If they were to kick them while they were down, the Spirit Beast Sect would really go berserk, and they would be the ones who suffer in the end.

Of course, the main reason is that Jin Jianchuan's plan has succeeded. Now all that needs to be done is to end the war and preserve the existing interests.

"White Crane Fairy, I am from the Great Qian Dynasty..."

"I've heard that your spirit pet's soul has been damaged. I have two pills here..."

Although the White Crane Fairy, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Beast Sect of the Six Sects of the Demonic Path, is now a hostage, her treatment in Cloud City is extraordinary.

With Jin Jianchuan, the vice leader of the Protectorate Alliance, backing them up, no one dared to make a move.

Meanwhile, the younger generation from various factions within the Guardian Alliance, whether driven by admiration for her beauty or other reasons, have been flocking to her during this period.

"Tsk tsk, these old foxes are all shrewd, always thinking of leaving themselves a way out."

At this moment, in the pavilion, Fairy Ice Butterfly saw the young talents from various forces surrounding Fairy White Crane and couldn't help but laugh and tease her.

Lin Chang'an, who was standing to the side, nodded slightly.

"Of course, in the end, everyone is in it for their own benefit. If the six sects of the demonic path come on strong and we can't stop them, we can at least make a good relationship."

Nobody is a fool, and the younger generation of these major powers naturally know this as well.

"Hehe, I reckon this Alliance Leader Jin will embellish the news and send it back, giving face to the Spirit Beast Sect but also making Elder Gao lose face."

A powerful old monster in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he couldn't even protect his newlywed partner who was kidnapped, and now he's being pursued by young talents from various powerful forces. Isn't this a slap in the face?

In short, everyone had their own calculations, but the benefits they have now divided up are real and tangible.

No one wants to spit out the meat they've already eaten; having enjoyed the benefits brought by the Protectorate Alliance, they naturally must also bear the corresponding obligations.

"But Junior Brother has quite the discerning eye. This White Crane Fairy is a rare beauty, and her character is also quite good."

Changing the subject, the Ice Butterfly Fairy turned her head, a smile playing on her lips as she looked at Lin Chang'an, revealing a teasing expression.

No wonder Junior Brother Lin's close friends are all Nascent Soul cultivators; it turns out he's so picky about making friends.

Although he knew that this senior sister loved to play around and make jokes, Lin Chang'an was still speechless.

It's true that rumors spread easily, but debunking them is incredibly difficult.

"Senior sister, this ancient silver bell has been re-blessed by the Buddhist sect. Although the silver essence is a bit inferior, it has been restored to about 70-80% overall."

Lin Chang'an took the silver bell from his waist, and the bell transformed in his palm, shrinking to the size of his hand.

At this moment, the white lotus pattern on the inner wall of the silver bell is engraved with dense Buddhist script, which shimmers with spiritual light. If one observes carefully, one can feel the extremely pure Buddhist script.

As the treasure landed in her jade hand, the Ice Butterfly Fairy's beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at the restoration of this ancient artifact, and a meaningful smile appeared on her face.

"Good junior brother, you are really generous, adding so much silver essence to your senior sister. You must have spent a lot of spirit stones. No wonder you are so popular."

Hearing the teasing, Lin Chang'an was speechless for a moment, while the Ice Butterfly Fairy smiled, but the affection in her eyes was undeniable.

Silver essence is a precious resource even for Nascent Soul cultivators, and it is traded even among cultivators of the same sect.

"Senior sister, stop fooling around."

Suddenly, a pair of crystal-clear bare feet came from under the wooden table and were grabbed by Lin Chang'an, who was prepared. Lin Chang'an couldn't help but smile in annoyance.

Ice Butterfly Fairy smiled gently, making no attempt to hide it. This rare feeling of ease and not having to think about anything else was something she could only experience when she was with her junior brother Lin.

"According to intelligence, the main force of the demonic path is arriving soon, and it seems that war will break out soon."

Gently patting her crystal-clear bare feet, Lin Chang'an helped his senior sister put on long boots, and then solemnly took out a set of soft armor from his storage bag.

"Senior sister, although this ancient treasure is quite good for self-defense, we still need to be careful during wartime. This soft armor was made by someone I asked. Although it is not as good as this ancient treasure, it is still a rare treasure."

This exquisite soft armor with its fine black scales was crafted from the scales of that mid-stage fourth-tier demonic dragon.

However, after being purified by Lin Chang'an, its demonic energy was greatly reduced, and its defensive power also decreased, but it can still be considered a rare close-fitting armor.

"A fourth-tier treasure armor! And it's made from dragon scales!"

As a veteran Nascent Soul cultivator, Fairy Ice Butterfly immediately recognized the preciousness of this magic weapon.

Even among Nascent Soul cultivators, defensive magic treasures are still a rare commodity, let alone such highly concealed close-fitting armor.

She vaguely guessed that only Buddhist power could purify demonic energy to such a high level.

Although the unpurified dragon scales provide stronger defense, the demonic energy constantly affects cultivators and cannot be concealed.

In short, it's not worth the effort.

Looking at the exquisite armor that was clearly tailor-made for her, the Ice Butterfly Fairy's pupils trembled slightly, but she calmly and gently put it away with a smile.

“Good junior brother, now I finally understand why Fellow Daoist Mingyue and Fairy Su traveled so far to help you.”

Well, now whatever he says can be misinterpreted, and Lin Chang'an is truly experiencing the frustration of being unable to defend himself.

There's really nothing between him and Su Miaoyin, and Su Wanwan is obviously doing it on purpose.

As for Fellow Daoist Mingyue, everything was a fair transaction between the two parties; it was just that a slight accident occurred along the way.

"Senior sister, I just don't want anything to happen to you."

Of course, he saw the effort and sincerity that Senior Sister Bingdie had put into him; he wasn't heartless.

"Alright, alright, my good junior brother."

Suddenly, the Ice Butterfly Fairy smiled charmingly, her eyes fixed on the White Crane Fairy walking towards them below, and she whispered sweet nothings in her ear.

"Good junior brother, your senior sister will be waiting for you after your treatment is over."

The next moment, the Ice Butterfly Fairy waved her sleeve, and a flash of light appeared. She was dressed in a white feather gauze dress, with silver-threaded white cranes embroidered on the hem.

Lin Chang'an was stunned when he saw this scene. How come this robe is exactly the same as the one worn by the White Crane Fairy?
Then, her sleeves slowly moved aside, revealing that the allure on her face had vanished, replaced by a fairy-like figure with a cold and melancholic look in her eyes, exuding a stunningly beautiful yet aloof aura.

Like the Moon Goddess in the Moon Palace, the Ice Butterfly Fairy was now lonely and helpless, her cold eyes trembling.

"Please, True Lord, have mercy on me."

Her voice was clear and thin, almost like a whisper, and coupled with her pitiful expression that evoked sympathy, Lin Chang'an's pupils contracted.

He was momentarily stunned, then coughed lightly and nodded calmly.

"Please wait a moment, senior sister."

He had no other intentions; it was simply because his senior sister, Ice Butterfly, was usually as proud as an ice phoenix, and it was too difficult for her to bow her head.

Having finally managed to lower his head this time, he couldn't miss it; he was determined to thoroughly enjoy the Ice Palace.

This damn desire to conquer!
That's right, it's purely a matter of competitive spirit between those who cultivate both magical power and those who are in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
