Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans...

Chapter 99 Growth of Divine Sense [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Inside the cave.

Lin Chang'an sat cross-legged, and as he circulated his internal energy, a green halo slowly appeared in his dantian.

The withered leaf-like natal plant slowly emerged, with only a thin white tendril at its root.

With a thought, Lin Chang'an slowly opened the jade bottle, and drop by drop began to fall, while the withered leaves greedily absorbed the spiritual liquid.

The emerald green halo grew even more intense, a sight that moved Lin Chang'an deeply.

"Enjoy it, this is the only time we'll get this third-tier spirit liquid. It won't be so easy to get our hands on it again."

Third-tier spiritual liquid is also very beneficial to Foundation Establishment cultivators.

With Lin Chang'an's low-grade spiritual root aptitude, if he uses external application to accelerate his cultivation, he can temporarily improve his spiritual root aptitude to a mid-grade spiritual root aptitude.

"This is!"

When the greedy natal spiritual plant absorbed two and a half bottles of high-grade spiritual liquid in one go, Lin Chang'an's pupils suddenly shrank, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

"My spiritual sense is also growing, or rather, this is the feedback from my natal spiritual plant."

At this moment, the emerald green aura emanating from the natal spiritual plant intensified, and fine emerald green veins appeared on the withered and yellow parts.

It clearly shows signs of recovery.

Lin Chang'an was overjoyed and couldn't contain his excitement.

"The revival of the withered leaves of the Mysterious Heaven Immortal Vine can actually nourish the growth of divine consciousness!"

In the cultivation world, techniques based on divine sense are already rare, and there are many benefits to having strong divine sense.

For example, in battle, one can detect the enemy's movements and weaknesses in advance, and wield magical artifacts more smoothly, while the number of talismans that can be used at one time will far exceed that of cultivators of the same level.

There is also perception, and it is even rumored that when advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, one has a natural defense against inner demons.

"I heard in the Yue Kingdom that only the Xuan Yin Pavilion has a secret method for cultivating divine sense. For me, the most direct effect of increasing divine sense is that flying needles and spiritual weapons become smoother, and even the effects of refining pills and drawing talismans are greatly enhanced."

In short, there are many benefits to having a strong spiritual sense. Most cultivators in the cultivation world are born with a strong spiritual sense, and very few specialize in cultivating this technique.

If he could previously control five low-grade second-tier talismans simultaneously with his early Foundation Establishment cultivation, then now he has a vague feeling.

It seems that six talismans can barely be used.

"The Mysterious Celestial Vine!"

After all three bottles of spiritual liquid were absorbed, the bottom of the withered leaves of the natal spiritual plant turned emerald green, and its life force became much stronger.

The Xuan Tian Immortal Vine, having just begun to revive, was brimming with spiritual energy. It seemed to sense the other two bottles of high-grade spiritual liquid and emitted a greedy desire.

Although Lin Chang'an was somewhat tempted, he ultimately suppressed his desire and reason prevailed.

With a hand seal, he stored his natal spiritual plant into his dantian.

"The remaining two bottles will also be very useful. At the very least, this one bottle can last for almost a year for cultivation."

Lin Chang'an considered it and decided to use it sparingly. He would apply it externally to his dantian for cultivation, and it should last him for a year.

He intends to use the other bottle to cultivate his spiritual eye.

After all, the Spirit Eye had done him great service time and time again.

“Nourishment by one’s natal spiritual plant is not something that can be achieved overnight; moreover, one must become stronger to find more spiritual liquid.”

Even if he's full at one meal and full at every other meal, Lin Chang'an still knows how to keep his head straight.

Moreover, even if these two bottles are absorbed by the natal spiritual plant, the effect won't be that significant.

"It's not bad now. At least I can clearly feel the life force that the spiritual plants are giving back to me as they revive. It's not only nourishing my self-healing body, but also my divine sense, which is slowly growing."

The growth of spiritual consciousness is so rapid that it is imperceptible to most people. To be able to clearly feel this effect is quite remarkable.

"This time we really made a profit."

Thinking back to the Beast Spirit Pills he traded with Huang Shaohai, and how much he had earned this time, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but smile.

He then controlled a bottle of spiritual liquid and dripped two drops of high-grade spiritual liquid into his eyes.

[Insightful Eye +20 (Mastery 476/1000)]

The high-grade elixir is really effective; just two drops increased my proficiency by twenty points.

Based on the high quality of the third-tier spiritual liquid, he was confident that he could break through another level in his spiritual eyes.

……

"Fellow Daoist Lin." Just then, the voice of Fellow Daoist Chen from next door came from outside the cave. Lin Chang'an cleared his breathing before coming out.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, what's going on?"

Next door, Chen Qing was carrying a high-grade magic artifact, and his storage bag was bulging, looking ready to go.

Seeing Lin Chang'an's puzzled expression, Chen Qing's expression became somewhat solemn, yet also somewhat tempted, and he couldn't help but say:

"Fellow Daoist Lin, don't you know?"

"Master Lu personally issued the order that before the third auction begins, all guest elders and retainers of Tianxuan City must go and receive a mission to guard a certain area and ensure its stability."

Even Foundation Establishment cultivators from outside the city are welcome, but they must register their identities first. Once the matter is settled, Tianxuan City will open up all kinds of cultivation resources, including even precious cultivation techniques and secret methods..."

As Chen Qing explained, Lin Chang'an finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that it was Master Lu from Tianxuan City who made the move, and he struck right at the heart of the matter.

Tianxuan City offers a wide variety of precious cultivation resources, including cultivation techniques, elixirs, and even inheritances.

The task is simple: to maintain peace in a certain area, and you're not required to risk your life.

If you find someone causing trouble, kill them if you can; if you can't handle it, send a signal.

Of course, anyone who steals from the master or impersonates a rogue cultivator should consider whether they can withstand the retaliation of the number one rogue cultivator in Yue Kingdom.

"All Foundation Establishment cultivators who go to receive the mission must leave a mark of their magic power on the Qi Activation Technique Disc."

As he said this, Chen Qing revealed a gloating smile.

Lin Chang'an secretly breathed a sigh of relief; this Master Lu was truly extraordinary.

A simple task resolved the potential restlessness in people's hearts.

The magic disc of the Pulling Technique can be sensed by any cultivator who leaves a mark of their magic power on it, within a radius of a thousand miles.

Of course, this magical aura doesn't last long, only about a year and a half.

But which Foundation Establishment cultivator dares to say they can escape?

Not to mention Master Lu's anger, these troublesome cultivators will probably become easy prey in the eyes of all the rogue cultivators in Tianxuan City.

"Good means."

Upon hearing this measure, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but praise it. With this action, whether Master Lu's disciple could successfully form his core was a matter for the higher-ups to decide.

However, Tianxuan City is absolutely able to maintain stability and there will be no major turmoil.

"Who can disagree? Master Lu's move has revitalized all the Foundation Establishment cultivators in Tianxuan City, and even outside rogue cultivators dare not act recklessly."

Chen Qing spoke with great excitement, after all, he was now completely bound to Tianxuan City.

The more stable Tianxuan City is, the happier he is naturally.

Lin Chang'an could understand Chen Qing's feelings, after all, he also hoped for peace and stability in Tianxuan City.

"Brother Lin, those who possess the insights of a second-tier talisman master, or even those who have made great contributions, might be able to exchange them for a second-tier mid-grade talisman inheritance."

"A Talisman Master's Insights, a second-tier inheritance?"

Even Lin Chang'an couldn't help but be tempted. Now that his second-tier talisman skills were improving slowly, if he really had some talisman master insights, he could naturally improve faster.

[Tier 2 Rune Master (Proficiency 36/500)]

Looking at his experience with talismans, Lin Chang'an nodded secretly. Although alchemy required it, the art of talismans could not be neglected. Improving his proficiency was the key.

At this moment, Chen Qing chuckled and cupped his hands in greeting, saying:
"Fellow Daoist Lin, we are neighbors. When the time comes, we can travel together in adjacent areas and look out for each other."

Chen Qing wasn't stupid. As fellow Foundation Establishment cultivators, it was obvious that a Foundation Establishment cultivator with second-tier skills was far more wealthy than someone like him.

Moreover, it's always better to find a familiar companion than a stranger.

Lin Chang'an smiled and cupped his hands in agreement, saying, "In that case, let's go together."

Besides being a guest advisor, the more important thing is that this mission isn't about risking your life; you can even run away if you see the situation turning against you.

There is only one standard: no hijacking or disturbance.

This couldn't be more friendly to cultivators who want a peaceful life.

Seclusion in a cave might not necessarily shield you from the wrath of Tianxuan City. On the contrary, if you've taken on this mission, you'll have to consider whether you can withstand the wrath of Tianxuan City.

Thank you all for your support.
