Immortality and Cultivation: Starting with Harvesting the Talents of Demonic Beasts

Chapter 103 Not to be underestimated (Third update, please subscribe)

Thirty breaths!
It represents a tremendous leap in growth.

This means that once underground, one can travel three miles underground.

Furthermore, given the uncertainty of the direction, this range will only be larger in reality.

Unless one is a Foundation Establishment cultivator with divine sense, a Qi Refining cultivator without the corresponding secret treasure has absolutely no chance of finding Lin Changheng's whereabouts.

Lin Changheng immediately shook his head and smiled: "What merit or ability do Qi Refining cultivators have to possess such a secret treasure?"

Sometimes I might be too cautious...

But he had no intention of changing it. Don't you know that in some storybooks, even a legendary immortal emperor could die from stepping on a dead insect on the ground?
Although the stories may be exaggerated, the underlying principles are sound: caution prevents major mistakes, and it is always wise to be careful.

Lin Changheng always keeps this in mind.

"continue."

The essence blood sent by Tantai Feiyue—no, the "talisman ink"—has not yet been used up.

The essence and blood of the Panshan Turtle continued to be extracted.

Under Lin Changheng's watchful gaze, a true core slowly emerged within the Yuan Cauldron.

"Magic!"

Lin Changheng was aware that the true core represented demonic magic.

Since no unusual changes had occurred, he had some guesses about it.

【Panshan Turtle Treasure Seed - Fivefold】

[Spirit Stealing: 100/100]

[Biochemical Life: 0/10]

[Effect: Miscellaneous demon beast bloodline, naturally possessing earth element, with perfect spirit absorption and transformation into the Dao, can be refined into the ancestral demonic technique "Earth Escape"]

"It's okay."

"Once this transformation is complete, all five of my precious seeds at the level of [Mortal Essence Blood] will have evolved, and five seed slots will be completely freed up."

They will also gain a supernatural power called "Fire Control," three demonic arts: "Poison Removal," "Fire Repelling," and "Earth Escape," and a triple-healing technique called "Self-Healing!"
Aside from the Triple Magic being slightly weaker, everything else is pretty good!
"After that, I will focus all my efforts on finding the [Turbid Fiend Essence Blood] and the [Mysterious Spirit Essence Blood] to further raise my own limits and internalize more demon beast talents and more powerful talents for my own use!"

Lin Changheng has a clear goal.

……

While waiting for Mo Zhaoli to arrive, Lin Changheng was not idle either.

He continued to study and deduce the "Secret Records of the Two Elements Furnace".

During breaks, he would also take out the "Dragon Essence Secret Techniques" that he had previously searched for for Xu Fugui and study it briefly.

One reason was to clear his head, but another was that he had really gotten addicted to this stuff. For two nights in a row, either someone would knock on Lin Changheng's door at night, or Lin Changheng would visit Tantai Feiyue in her courtyard.

I don't know what they were talking about, but they kept talking until dawn.

They left reluctantly, still wanting more.

Occasionally, a leak of vital essence once or twice is insignificant, since Lin Changheng has had his essence and blood mysteriously drained by the Yuan Ding since childhood, so he is quite experienced in this.

However, if done too often, it can easily damage the source and affect the path.

This point particularly alarmed Lin Changheng.

The "Dragon Essence Secret Technique" given to Fugui had two main effects.

Firstly, it strengthens the body.

Fu Gui's primary need was this effect. Back then, he was young and impetuous, unaware of the dangers, and ended up being unable to handle his three wives and concubines. After only a month, he came to ask for help.

Secondly, locking the dragon.

This effect, as the name suggests, is to lock in vital energy without losing it, without affecting physical experience and pleasure. In other words, it's about having both.

It can also prevent the formation of a pregnancy.

Tantai Feiyue was not oblivious; on the contrary, she was extremely intelligent and noticed something. She felt a little disappointed. She had hoped to bear a child for Lin Changheng and didn't care about those empty titles, nor did she care about other people's opinions or gossip.

After all, the fact that she was willing to give up her prestigious and wealthy position as a princess in the mortal world in order to cultivate immortality, and instead become a seedling of immortality living under someone else's roof, proves this point.

Unfortunately, her beloved Lin Lang ultimately yearned for the greater good, unwilling to suffer further losses, and had no intention of having children to become a burden...

So she fell silent.

The adult world remains as real as ever; silence is tacit agreement, and tacit agreement is support.

"Foundation Establishment...do I really have a chance?"

Sometimes, Princess Tantai, who diligently studied the art of talismans, would put down her talisman brush and look at the exquisite mid-grade talismans on the table, which possessed profound spiritual light. She would mutter to herself, feeling anxious and uncertain.

……

Time continues to pass.

Mo Zhaoli finally arrived, two days later than expected.

The Xu family originally planned to prepare a grand welcoming banquet, but later felt that they should ask Master Mo Dan about his granddaughter's preferences in order to be more targeted and avoid making a mistake in their plans.

So when the patriarch brought a group of high-ranking members to seek Master Mo's opinion, Master Mo chuckled, pointed to Lin Changheng who was watching the scenery in the distance and deliberately avoiding suspicion, and stroked his beard slowly, saying, "It's better for you to ask him about this matter than me."

"Master Lin Dan?"

The group of high-ranking officials, including the head of the Xu family, were astonished and looked at each other in bewilderment.

They naturally knew that Lin Changheng was a disciple of Master Mo, respected his teacher, and the two had an excellent relationship. When they visited, the two were drinking and chatting, enjoying themselves immensely in a wonderful atmosphere.

Hearing that they had important matters to ask, he even made a special effort to leave his seat and give them the opportunity.

This approachable and approachable manner, coupled with an unassuming and humble attitude, deeply impressed the Xu family's leaders. They wondered what trump cards they had drawn from among so many low-grade and mixed-elemental cultivators back then, so that the clan could prosper.

But they never expected that Master Lin Dan would have such a relationship with Mo Zhaoli.

The underlying meaning of Master Mo's words was that Master Lin's words might be more effective in front of Mo Zhaoli than those of his grandfather.

hiss--!
This person!

When they suddenly turned their gazes towards him, Lin Changheng noticed. Although he was puzzled and didn't understand their meaning, he still smiled amicably and nodded to everyone.

"good."

Master Mo was willing to help. He was old and had no more desires, but he knew that his granddaughter and Lin Changheng had a good relationship. Upon closer examination, there was also a bond of camaraderie among them, which was more reliable and trustworthy than any other relationship.

A hero needs three helpers. After he passed away, his granddaughter would be all alone, and he was worried about her. Having a reliable friend and ally like Lin Changheng, who had been scrutinized by his ruthless old eyes, was not bad.

Therefore, they planned to support Lin Changheng as much as possible so that he could develop better, which would be good for both this disciple and Zhaoli.

Ignoring the surprised and inquisitive expressions of the senior executives, he got up and left.

"Now that you've shown me the way, I won't accompany you any longer. Alas, they say that as people get old, they become useless, their bodies weaken, and old ailments easily recur—it's so true..."

Then, Lin Changheng looked at the group of high-ranking officials who had changed their targets and walked over, and was even more puzzled. It wasn't until one of the Xu family's high-ranking officials spoke that he suddenly understood.

They also guessed what Master Mo meant.

I felt a little emotional, but I decided to tell the truth anyway.

Meanwhile, in the minds of the Xu family's senior members, Lin Changheng's image of never leaving his home and only focusing on alchemy was quietly changing...

The already substantial amount of food now includes some significant ingredients.

……

The welcoming banquet for Mo Zhaoli was changed to be held on a small scale.

"Grandpa! Brother Lin!"

A magic boat flew in from the horizon, and a female cultivator dressed in a moon-white flowing cloud dress landed on it.

She had a gentle and graceful appearance, with willow-leaf eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, and a vermilion mark between her eyebrows. She was smiling slightly.
