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

Chapter 79 Disguise and Transformation
Lin Changheng directly bought up all the "Earth Fire Lizard Essence Blood" and "Flame-Tailed Spirit Fox Essence Blood" in his shop.

In order to participate in the grand auction, the Liu family specially transferred a large amount of demon beast essence, materials, and spirit beast cubs from shops in other markets.

To boost sales and increase revenue.

Among them, there were more than 230 portions of the essence blood of the Fire Lizard.

The essence blood of the Flame-Tailed Spirit Fox is also over 100%.

There are also large quantities of the essence and blood of mortals such as the White Spirit Sparrow and the Golden-crowned Pheasant, and so on.

Seeing the longing in Manager Liu's old eyes, who wished Lin Changheng would buy everything for him, Lin Changheng still only chose the first two options.

"As I said before, mortal blood is no longer of use to my clan, but if there are other kinds of [turbid evil essence blood], I can also purchase them."

"If your store can obtain [Turbid Blood Essence] through other channels, a slight price increase would not be unacceptable."

Lin Changheng once again revealed his needs, attempting to motivate Manager Liu by offering a slight premium on spirit stones.

The price increase of one or two points is not only what it sounds like before, but also implies that selling to oneself can generate more revenue than selling to other major clients.

"Please take care, distinguished guest."

Manager Liu Fengxiu was lost in thought when he heard this. Suddenly he came to his senses and realized that Lin Changheng had already reached the door. He quickly saw him off.

……

As Lin Changheng moved in and out of the crowd, he suddenly heard a charming greeting.

Looking up, I saw that the place where the Spirit Restaurant used to be was now covered in red gauze, which fluttered in the wind, creating a beautiful and enchanting atmosphere.

By the railing of the upper pavilion stood a group of beautifully dressed women, their voices sweet and charming as they solicited customers.

"This is a newly opened branch of Tingxiang Pavilion in Huangxufang. The fairy there is proficient in music, loves to play the flute and pipe, and also has special skills and techniques. It is a good place to cultivate one's mind and be intoxicated by beauty."

"How about we brothers have a competition? Let's see who has the better skills?"

People nearby stopped and whispered among themselves, which Lin Changheng overheard and then realized what was happening.

It turns out to be a brothel in the cultivation world.

"Fine, I'll go then!"

"Don't think I'm afraid of you?"

"What about the previously planned black market stalls outside the city?"

"We'll talk about it later, we'll talk about it later..."

The two were naturally combative and neither would give way. They entered side by side, determined to determine who was superior.

"interesting."

Watching the eager figures disappear into the red gauze curtain, Lin Changheng turned and left, his mind preoccupied with the "black market" he had just heard from the two of them.

He had also been to the black market, back when he was in Zichuanfang.

Located on the edge of the market, the place was well-organized, and with the support of a neighbor who was at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, no accidents occurred.

Now that he's reached the mid-stage, with numerous treasures and a wealth of skills, he might consider taking a look.

Moreover, with the constant stream of people coming to the Desolate Ruins, some good items might be flowing into the black market.

Especially the essence blood of demonic beasts, I wonder if I can ever encounter it.

As for the specific location and time information of the black market—

He went straight to a popular teahouse, ordered a pot of tea, and listened intently for half an hour, by which time he had already figured it out.

Tomorrow at noon, in a valley five miles outside the desolate ruins!
"Five miles is still acceptable. With the [Earth Escape Technique - Clarity] on me, I can escape a distance of about one mile by entering the ground once, which can basically avoid most dangers."

"Then, activate the mid-grade magic weapon [Flying Cloud Boots] and add the mid-grade talisman [Wind Control Talisman] to speed through four miles to enter the town, and you will be absolutely safe."

Lin Changheng was very cautious and his calculations were very detailed.

Having determined that the problem was not serious, a decision was made: to go and take a trip.

……

Lin Changheng got up very early the next morning.

Feeling refreshed and in excellent condition.

Last night, he completed the extraction of spirit essence from over two hundred portions of [Earth Fire Lizard] blood. He also cultivated a new precious seed.

[Earthfire Lizard Treasure Seed - Quadruple]

[Spirit Stealing: 18/100]

[Can continue refining the demon race's innate talent: Fire Repellent]

The precious seed was directly extracted into his soul. Lin Changheng seemed to fall into a strange perception, as if he could isolate himself from heat with a thought. He could touch the flames without feeling pain, and his body was enveloped by the flames without any hindrance.

Very strange.

[Already mastered: Fire-repelling technique - Ascension to Immortality]

Lin Changheng was itching to try it out, but the space inside the Immortal Inn was too small to move freely, and he was afraid of accidentally setting the entire building on fire, so he gave up the idea.

In addition, the essence blood of the purchased [Flame-Tailed Spirit Fox] was also stolen.

[Flame-Tailed Spirit Fox Treasure Seed - Level One]

[Spirit Stealing: 41/100]

They even left twenty portions as spares.

Since the [Earth Fire Lizard Treasure Seed] is currently at the fourth level and is about to reach the peak of Spirit Seizing and undergo Transformation, it is necessary to reserve a sufficient amount of high-level essence blood.

It can achieve its purpose the moment the essence and blood are fully absorbed.

Even if the [Flame-Tailed Spirit Fox Treasure Seed] approaches the second level of Spirit Seizing first, it can still be absorbed at any time without any impact.

……

Lin Changheng usually makes sufficient preparations before going out.

With a series of crackling sounds, his body stretched out quite skillfully, becoming long and thin, while his facial features twisted and shifted slightly at the same time.

Before long, a man with a completely different appearance appeared in the same spot.

Satisfied with his reflection in the bronze mirror, Lin Changheng took out a human skin mask and stuck it on his face before putting on a wide black robe and a bamboo hat.

【Phantom Form and Teleportation Technique: Peeping into the Path】!
The effect of completing the first level of Spirit Stealing for the [Flame-Tailed Spirit Fox Treasure Seed].

One can initially change body shape by stretching or shrinking the skeletal structure and by mobilizing muscles to transform the appearance.

This disguise is so obvious that even a Foundation Establishment cultivator cannot see through it with their divine sense.

Because it is real "flesh and blood".

They added two more layers of protective camouflage to lull the enemy into a false sense of security.

Once you see through the first layer of disguise, the second layer is also fake.

If you've seen through two layers, it must be true, right?
However, the third layer is also fake.

No matter which layer you see through, you can't get its true face. Lin Changheng is basically satisfied with this disguise.

……

At noon, the sun shines brightly.

Every now and then, pedestrians would head towards a valley outside the desolate ruins.

It is said that this valley was once a monster cave a hundred years ago, with countless dark caves crisscrossing the area. Hundreds of monsters lurked inside, and it was filled with various poisonous mists and miasmas, making it extremely dangerous.

It was an extremely tough nut to crack during the land reclamation process.

The cultivators stopped and scratched their heads, knowing the risks and dangers, and dared not risk their lives to move forward.

As a result, a Core Formation True Person from the Upper Sect intervened, unleashing the Heaven-Turning Seal magic weapon. With a deafening roar, golden light fell, and the mountain cave collapsed.

It turned into a valley.

None of the monsters inside could escape; they were all crushed into meat patties and mixed in with the rocks, completely packed together.

The land reclamation was able to continue.

When Lin Changheng stepped onto the dark red ground of this valley, everything he saw was red, including the mountain walls on both sides.
