Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans...

Chapter 60 The Eternal Green Technique [Please continue reading]

"Brother Lin, are you alright?"

"Fellow Daoist Lin, what happened to this Green Horned Ox! I have some healing pills here, please give them to the spirit beast quickly."

Back in the courtyard, she saw Lu Qingqing hand the child over to Wei Buyi, and as she was about to run out, she saw Lin Chang'an returning.

Lin Chang'an had no time to pay attention to the two men's actions; he was only focused on treating the Green Horned Ox while feigning resentment and saying:
"This market is getting more and more chaotic. If you don't have anything to do, don't go out easily."

Wei Buyi, leaning on his iron crutch, gave the Green Horned Ox healing pills, while Lin Chang'an talked about the situation of the tribulation cultivators they encountered this time.

“This cultivator was quite skilled. I only lured him away before running back, but I was careless and the Green Horned Ox was seriously injured.”

At this moment, the Green Horned Ox lay on the ground, its weak eyes revealing its dependence on and concern for Lin Chang'an.

Holding the Beast Taming Token, Lin Chang'an could clearly sense this emotion, which made him feel somewhat uneasy.

Only now did he understand why many cultivators would spend their entire lives with their spirit pets; sometimes, spirit pets are indeed more reliable than people.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, is this simple-minded ox alright?"

Lin Chang'an couldn't help but ask with concern, and Wei Buyi smiled and stood up, leaning on his cane again to comfort him:

"Don't worry, the injury is quite deep. It might have been fatal to a cultivator like us, but spirit beasts are naturally strong. They'll recover after a while."

Lin Chang'an breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that the Green Horned Ox was alright, and then recounted the events that had transpired to the two of them.

When Shen Lie returned in the evening and learned of the matter, he and his wife brought their child over to express their sincere gratitude once again.

For them, the term "Jie Xiu" (劫修) might be too familiar, but for the children, it is their Achilles' heel.

……

It wasn't until nightfall that Lin Chang'an, inside the cultivation room, finally had time to carefully examine the storage bags of the Wang family remnants.

"With such high bounties from the two major sects, and the fact that the Golden Core elders of the sects personally searched the souls of those captured alive, it's highly likely that the Wang family really did obtain an opportunity within the secret realm."

There were no spirit stones in the storage bag, and only half a bottle of healing pills. There was also an empty bottle, but judging from the smell, it was clearly a fasting pill.

He retrieved the remaining high-grade magic weapon, the Fire Sun Sword, as well as the fragments of defensive magic weapons that remained on his body after the Fireball Technique had burned out.

It's obvious that Wang Lin was fighting someone before he fled, and his defensive magic artifacts were already broken.

"This person must have been hiding in the grave for months to escape the pursuit. He must have run out of spirit stones and fasting pills before he came out."

Lin Chang'an was secretly alarmed, but when he saw the last item, he looked puzzled.

"This is!?"

On a leaf that looked like a withered leaf were mysterious, unrecognizable characters. However, when Lin Chang'an looked at it, his gaze suddenly went blank, and a feeling of something being imprinted on his soul came over him.

But in an instant, Lin Chang'an regained his senses. At this moment, he was utterly astonished and his feelings were beyond words.

"Could this opportunity have fallen into my lap?!"

This record contains an ancient cultivation technique that can be practiced up to the Nascent Soul stage, called the "Eternal Green Technique".

"Could the power recorded in this technique really be true?!"

Looking at the technique imprinted in his mind, Lin Chang'an could hardly describe its power.

After mastering the "Eternal Green Technique," one can greatly extend their lifespan, have abundant Qi and meridians, and possess magical power far exceeding that of cultivators of the same level. Furthermore, it comes with a unique physical supernatural ability: "Self-Healing Body."

The self-healing body is a special physique possessed only by demonic beasts and spiritual beings. To put it simply, it means that severed limbs can regenerate, and it becomes increasingly powerful as one's cultivation level increases.

"It is said that only powerful cultivation techniques come with supernatural abilities."

Lin Chang'an was shocked. With this technique by his side, his chances of survival in the perilous world of cultivation would increase by a great deal.

"However, there are limitations. To cultivate this technique, one must refine a 'Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root' as a foundation and transform it into a cultivator's 'natal spiritual plant'." Upon seeing the requirement to refine a natal spiritual plant, Lin Chang'an nodded secretly.

"As expected, only difficult ancient techniques are called ancient techniques. They are not so easy to cultivate."

The demanding nature of this technique lies in the fact that the spiritual root of heaven and earth must be at least three thousand years old to be barely usable, and the subsequent cultivation of this technique is also difficult.

It also needs to be irrigated with spiritual springs and spiritual liquids over a long period of time to continuously strengthen the spiritual plant and grow together with the cultivator.

"A three-thousand-year-old spiritual herb is something that even Nascent Soul cultivators would fight tooth and nail for, let alone Golden Core cultivators."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but shake his head.

"However, we don't have three thousand kinds of spiritual herbs, but the Cloud Mist Mountain Range has plenty of spiritual plants that are thousands or even tens of thousands of years old."

Just like in the deep mountains and old forests of the mortal world, it is not uncommon to see trees that are thousands of years old.

Although the strength of one's natal spiritual plant is related to the cultivator himself, Lin Chang'an is just a rogue cultivator. Even if he were a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it would be difficult for him to find a thousand-year-old spiritual herb.

Therefore, they had no choice but to abandon the distant and seek the near, and take that not-so-useful spiritual plant as their natal spiritual plant.

In the Cloud and Mist Mountains, there are countless trees and plants that have survived for thousands or even tens of thousands of years with little value. Bah!

It should be spiritual plants, spiritual flowers, and spiritual herbs.

These are not of much value.

“Once a natal spiritual plant is cultivated, it will be used for dual cultivation with the cultivator’s life force, so careful selection is necessary.”

After reading it, Lin Chang'an shook his head and sighed. The ancient cultivation method looked tempting, but he could only cultivate it after he had established his foundation.

"What's this? It's better than nothing. At least after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, I won't have to bother searching for cultivation techniques anymore."

Lin Chang'an tried to console himself by attempting to destroy the technique with fireballs, but he was powerless to destroy the withered leaf scroll, which he didn't know was some kind of treasure.

"wrong!"

Suddenly remembering something, Lin Chang'an narrowed his eyes.

Why didn't the Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Wang family take it and run away, but instead gave it to a Qi Refining cultivator?

Moreover, this ancient technique is so familiar that it will be imprinted in one's mind with just one glance. Doesn't that mean that many people in the Wang family know about this technique?

Now, the Wang family members have either fled or been captured, and their souls have been searched by Golden Core cultivators from the two major sects. This means that the two major sects have also obtained this cultivation technique.

"If that's the case, then this technique won't be under such close scrutiny. It's just that when you cultivate it in the future, you'll need to hide the fact that your technique is special."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If there was only one copy of this cultivation technique, he would be worried that the two major sects would continue to investigate, which would be a great danger.

But right now, everyone has what you have, and the two major sects are at most annoyed that the Wang family is so bold; they won't be targeted relentlessly.

"However, obtaining an opportunity is not an opportunity; rising to prominence through an opportunity is the true opportunity."

Recalling the Wang family's fate and the prodigy Wang Lin of today, Lin Chang'an secretly warned himself not to be careless.

Today, Wang Lin has this opportunity, but isn't it all just a favor done for him? I can't repeat the same mistake and end up doing the work for someone else.

"Not a single hair of the Wang family's possessions can be revealed."

At this moment, Lin Chang'an decided that this high-grade magic weapon must not be exposed to light, otherwise he would get covered in excrement.

Thank you all for your support. Today is Tuesday, and I hope we can advance smoothly through the fourth round of the PK.

[Hey, as you've all noticed, this technique borrows from the copying master's technique below, but don't worry, its abilities are completely different from the master's.]
