A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

Having a guide makes things much easier. Lin He, Yuan Yi, and Yan Ruyan followed Yin Xueer into the first floor of the center.

Along the way, they even found some rare spiritual herbs and materials.

As soon as they entered the center, they heard the sounds of fighting. A group of Huadaowu disciples and a group of Moyanmen disciples were fighting fiercely. The two sides were locked in a fierce battle. However, as soon as they saw Lin He appear, the Moyanmen disciples looked terrified and immediately abandoned their opponents, fleeing frantically.

Seeing their opponents run so fast, the disciples of Huadaowu were also surprised, but when they saw Lin He and the others, they were not surprised.

Rumor has it that this Senior Brother Lin is a formidable figure; the Demon Flame Sect would run away at the sight of him, which is quite a quick reaction.

Lin He had no interest in chasing after these Demon Flame Sect disciples. Obtaining the treasure was the priority right now, and he wouldn't waste time chasing after them as long as they didn't interfere with his treasure-hunting.

The disciples of Huadaowu quickly expressed their gratitude and then hurriedly left. Since Lin He had already appeared here, they naturally had no share of the treasures. They would rather try their luck elsewhere to avoid angering Lin He.

As for Yin Xue'er, some disciples recognized her, but they were all clever enough to pretend they didn't see her and dared not ask any more questions.

"These people are quite pragmatic," Yin Xue'er said with a smile. "If they press for answers, Senior Brother Lin, will you kill them to silence them?"

"Do you think they will?" Lin He didn't answer, but asked in return.

"Of course not. Senior Brother Lin is now renowned, and they want to live a few more years. However, if they were to go outside, I'm afraid..."

Lin He, however, showed no fear upon hearing this. He thought to himself, "Outside? After retrieving the treasure, I'm planning to escape to the Chaotic Star Sea amidst the chaos. Why would I care about this?"

Along the way, Lin He also encountered other disciples from the seven sects. They all greeted Lin He and then left very obediently without lingering for a moment.

The group arrived at a stone gate and finally encountered resistance.

Outside the stone gate was an open area where many demonic disciples had gathered, including a dozen or so disciples of the Spirit Control Sect, a dozen or so disciples of the Joyful Union Sect, and a dozen or so disciples of the Demon Flame Sect who had just fled here.

A spear-wielding puppet guarded the stone gate. Just as the demonic cultivators were discussing their countermeasures, Lin He and his group walked in.

The disciples of the Hehuan Sect were not surprised to see Yin Xue'er walking with Lin He. Instead, they quietly surrounded their path to prevent them from escaping.

The cultivators from the Demon Flame Sect and the Spirit Control Sect were greatly surprised upon seeing this, their expressions changing drastically. The leading elder, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, even angrily rebuked them.

"Yin Xue'er, what do you mean by this? Does this mean the Joyful Union Sect and the Yellow Maple Valley are colluding?"

"Isn't this obvious? Why are you asking? You're such an idiot."

"you……"

Just as the late-stage Foundation Establishment elder was about to say something, Lin He had already lost patience. With a wave of his hand, hundreds of giant ape puppets appeared. Without Lin He having to lift a finger, hundreds of energy beams flew out, attacking the many demonic cultivators.

Although these thirty demonic cultivators were not weak, as they were all disciples selected and sent by the six sects of the demonic path, they were still in dire straits when faced with the combined attack of hundreds of early Foundation Establishment puppets. In particular, with the help of a level four ape wielding an iron rod and wearing armor, their defeat was swift and complete, and they were quickly slaughtered.

The Hehuan Sect disciples had never seen such a scene before, and they were all horrified, too shocked to even speak loudly.

Lin He ignored their thoughts, put away the storage bag, and then came to the stone gate. The long-spear warrior puppet immediately launched an attack.

With a swing of his spear, an astonishing force erupted, about to strike Lin He. At that moment, Yuan Yi rushed out, wielding an iron rod to collide with him. Immediately afterwards, hundreds of giant ape puppets launched energy beam attacks with expressionless faces.

The strength of this spear-wielding warrior puppet was similar to that of the previous puppet, both being at the early stage of Core Formation. It was no match for the combined attack of Yuan Yi and hundreds of early Foundation Establishment puppets. Yuan Yi quickly seized the opportunity, struck its head, and removed the high-grade spirit stone. The spear-wielding warrior puppet immediately stopped moving.

Lin He put away the puppet and the high-grade spirit stones, then had Yin Xue'er take out the token. After the token was inserted, the stone door opened.

Yin Xue'er had the Hehuan Sect guard the entrance, and Lin He naturally left a giant ape puppet to watch over the gate before going inside.

Inside the stone gate, there were all sorts of bottles and jars; it was indeed an alchemy room.

Lin He's gaze fell on a bronze cauldron. The cauldron looked somewhat old, but it was full of spiritual energy and was obviously not an ordinary object.

Seeing this, Yin Xue'er explained obediently, "This bronze cauldron should be an ancient treasure, most likely a fine one. It can not only assist in alchemy but also be used in combat. Senior Brother Lin is really lucky."

Lin He chuckled and accepted the gift without ceremony in front of everyone before turning his attention to the bottles and jars.

"Hurry up and look for it. If you find two Spirit Ascension Pills, then everyone will be very happy."

The two girls nodded upon hearing this. They behaved very obediently. Lin He did not speak, and they did not make any rash moves. At this moment, they naturally began to search with excited expressions.

Lin He diverted a portion of his divine sense to observe their actions, then walked to a table where he left two jade slips.

Lin He probed with his divine sense and found that the first jade slip contained many pill formulas, refining methods, and the effects of these pills.

"The Heart-Protecting Pill can help cultivators resist the tribulations of inner demons."

"The Condensing Essence Pill can increase the success rate of cultivators in forming their Nascent Soul."

"The Yin Spirit Pill can suppress excess Yang energy in the body."

……

……

Lin He initially appeared nonchalant, but as he watched, his expression suddenly turned serious, followed by a smile, as if he had gained quite a bit.

Lin He put away the jade slip and then picked up another one to examine. It contained introductions to various alchemy techniques and insights. Lin He's alchemy skills were only average at the moment, so this jade slip was just right for him.

After carefully putting away the two jade slips, Lin He walked up to the two women, who were both looking at the bottle of pills in front of them with joy.

Seeing Lin He approach, Yin Xue'er said happily, "What great luck! There are actually two Spirit Ascension Pills here. Now I can take them and get rid of them."

Yin Xue'er poured out two white pills, and everyone smelled a rich medicinal fragrance, making them feel refreshed and much more comfortable.

Yin Xue'er handed a pill to Yan Ruyan, who looked at Lin He with excitement. Seeing him nod, she carefully took out a bottle and put it away.

Lin He was not surprised to see this. Yan Ruyan had a Heavenly Spiritual Root. It usually takes a dozen or twenty years for a cultivator to advance from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the middle stage, but for Yan Ruyan, it might only take a few years. After taking this pill after reaching the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, she could immediately advance to the late stage of Foundation Establishment. After cultivating for another dozen or twenty years, she could start preparing for Core Formation. Her progress was incredibly fast. This was the power of a Heavenly Spiritual Root. There was no such thing as a bottleneck before Core Formation.

Besides the two Spirit Enhancement Pills, there are more than a dozen bottles of pills that can improve cultivation. Two of these bottles are even useful for Core Formation stage cultivators, while the remaining bottles are useful for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

Lin He could refine the pills that could improve his cultivation during the Foundation Establishment stage himself, and the pills refined with a level 5 demon core would be much more effective than these, so he naturally didn't care about them.

However, he naturally wouldn't refuse these two bottles of pills that could help Core Formation stage cultivators improve their cultivation.

Yan Ruyan and Yin Xue'er stared intently, but the two girls were quite obedient, not acting rashly, and instead completely leaving the matter to Lin He. Seeing their pitiful expressions, Lin He couldn't help but chuckle.

"I'll accept these two bottles of pills that can help Core Formation cultivators improve their cultivation. You can divide the other bottles among yourselves. I've killed so many Foundation Establishment cultivators and obtained quite a few pills to improve my cultivation, so I don't need any more."

The two women were overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly thanked her, dividing the bottles of pills among themselves.

Such a harvest far exceeded the two women's expectations, and they were overjoyed.

The two followed Lin He out of the stone gate. Lin He put away the puppet and said, "Let's go. Although I don't have a token, I still want to see that grand hall. Maybe I'll find something else."
