A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

Chapter 140 The Method of Star Power Infusion

Lin He killed a total of eight people this time, including Guo Yun, Liu Hong, four elders of the Six Halls, and Zhao and Meng.

Lin He's biggest gain this time was undoubtedly the twelve Heavenly Capital Demon Corpses he snatched from the Extreme Yin Old Demon. Each of them had the cultivation level of the mid-stage Core Formation stage, and when a dozen of them worked together, they could even briefly contend with the giant Core Formation cultivator.

Lin He didn't immediately begin studying the Heavenly Capital Demon Corpse. Instead, he opened the eight storage bags one by one. A large pile of mid-grade spirit stones lay on the ground, along with various materials, magical artifacts, and talismans. Among them, Lin He discovered a stone shimmering with starlight and couldn't help but smile. "This is—a Star Stone!"

The information from the Myriad Sound Sect was indeed correct. This Star Stone was found in the storage bag of an elder of the Sixth Hall. With this, he could obtain some other common materials from the Myriad Sound Sect and spend some time acquiring a batch of seventh-level demon beast materials, and that would be all he needed.

Lin He glanced at the other items, then looked at the magic treasures, ancient artifacts, five bottles of pills, and three jade slips.

Liu Hong's iron hammer magic weapon is a heavy magic weapon, and when combined with Lin He's physical cultivation, its power is naturally considerable. In addition, there is the ring that was taken from Wu Chou.

This ring is a fine antique, adept at attack, and its power is considerable.

"It's a pity that the small black sword was taken by Ji Yin. Judging from how nervous Wu Chou was at the time, it must have been his natal magic weapon."

Lin He looked at the five bottles of pills. As soon as he opened the bottle caps, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out. Lin He looked closely and revealed a satisfied expression. These pills were the Dust-Reducing Pills he was looking for, and there were five bottles of them. Lin He counted them and found a total of twenty pills. It was quite a great harvest.

He then looked at the three jade slips. The first jade slip recorded the recipe for the Dust-Reducing Pill. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that it required many rare spiritual herbs and was indeed not easy to refine. Now that Lin He had these twenty Dust-Reducing Pills, he naturally had no intention of refining them. In the future, when there were more people on Biling Island, they might need to refine them, so he would naturally take them back to enrich his treasury.

The second jade slip records an ancient recipe for making Spirit Feeding Pills. These pills can accelerate the advancement of spirit beasts. Lin He himself doesn't need them anymore, but the others on Biling Island do, although the ingredients for making them are not easy to find.

Lin He picked up the third jade slip. This time, he studied it for a full quarter of an hour before slowly withdrawing his divine sense, revealing a look of surprise and delight. "A method for cultivating spirit insects!"

This jade slip records several methods for cultivating spirit insects. The other methods are fine, but they are either difficult to find materials or have serious side effects. However, it mentions a special method called the Star Power Infusion Method!

According to the jade slip, applying a special star spirit liquid to the spirit insects and then placing them under starlight to absorb star power can accelerate the advancement of the spirit insects.

However, this method has several requirements. First, it requires an area with extremely dense starlight. Second, similar to the Star Refining Golden Yuan Technique, it cannot be done in a cave or other place with defensive restrictions; one must receive the starlight infusion without any protection, which carries the risk of exposure. Third, and most difficult, is that preparing the Star Spirit Liquid requires more than a dozen rare materials, especially a spiritual herb called Star Marrow Fungus, which is extremely difficult to find and is rumored to grow only in certain special places.

Lin He pondered for a while, then took out a spirit beast pouch. Immediately afterwards, tens of thousands of gold-devouring insects flew out. Lin He had been cultivating these gold-devouring insects, but the progress was extremely slow. There were too many spirit insects to take care of them all.

Therefore, Lin He specially selected thirteen Gold-Eating Insects for intensive cultivation. These Gold-Eating Insects that were intensively cultivated were indeed stronger in combat and soon began to devour other Gold-Eating Insects. Lin He nurtured them all to level four, which is equivalent to a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"If we nurture them all to level seven, the thirteen of them working together should be able to withstand a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. It's just that the other Gold-Eating Insects—"

There are tens of thousands of Gold-Eating Insects, and it takes more than two months for each one to reach level seven. If they were all to be nurtured, who knows how long it would take? Therefore, the vast majority of Gold-Eating Insects are still very weak in combat.

Lin He couldn't keep nurturing the Gold-Eating Insects forever; he also needed to nurture other spirit beasts, whether for demon cores, demon beast materials, or to cultivate his main spirit beasts. This made it an impossible task.

However, the Star Power Infusion method is quite different. It has no time limit. As long as you find the materials and prepare the Star Spirit Liquid, you can let these Gold-Eating Insects take a bath on their own, saving time and effort.

"I don't have time to find this Star Marrow Ganoderma; I can only leave it to the Myriad Sounds Sect to handle."

Thinking of this, Lin He got up and left the room. He gave Yuan Yi a few instructions and then left the cave. Soon he arrived at the Yuelai Inn. Sure enough, a female disciple of the Miaoyin Sect had been waiting for a long time at the entrance of the Yuelai Inn.

The woman was overjoyed to see Lin He; finally, she was free from this tedious and thankless task. She quickly said, "The sect leader instructed me that if I saw Senior Lin, I must take him to see the sect leader."

Lin He showed no surprise and nodded, saying, "Lead the way."

The Miaoyin Sect's stronghold had changed; it was no longer the Qinghe Teahouse, but a general store. The female disciple led Lin He to a private room on the second floor and then tactfully left.

As soon as Lin He entered the private room, two figures immediately stood up and bowed in thanks. It was Sect Leader Wang and Zhou Yuan, but both were pale and coughed frequently, appearing to be still recovering from serious injuries. Zhou Yuan spoke first, "Fellow Daoist Lin, it's so good to see you back safely. My husband and I were very worried about your safety."

Sect Leader Wang, who was standing to the side, also expressed his gratitude, saying, "If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Lin's help in killing Zhao, Meng, and the others, and his courageous act of stopping the Extreme Yin Demon, we really wouldn't have made it back."

As they spoke, the two looked at Lin He with surprise. Lin He's previous performance had been so outstanding that it had left a deep impression on them.

Even Sect Master Wang himself was full of admiration. It was unbelievable that Lin He, with his early Core Formation cultivation, had actually killed so many cultivators of the same level. More importantly, Lin He, an early Core Formation cultivator, had actually escaped from the clutches of the Extreme Yin Old Demon.

The Extreme Yin Old Demon was a demonic tyrant in the Nascent Soul stage. Although he probably couldn't unleash his full power under the circumstances, he was still extremely strong, not to mention he had the help of eighteen Heavenly Capital Demon Corpses.

Lin He was able to escape under such circumstances. When Master Wang asked himself, if it were him, he would probably have died several times over and would not have been able to escape at all.

They naturally didn't know that Lin He not only didn't escape, but also obtained twelve Heavenly Capital Demon Corpses from the Extreme Yin Old Demon. The one who actually escaped was the Extreme Yin Old Demon.

If Master Wang and his wife knew about this, they would probably be shocked, but Lin He obviously wouldn't tell them.

Lin He got straight to the point, asking, "Sect Leader Wang, Fellow Daoist Zhou, what brings you here?"

Sect Leader Wang and Zhou Yuan exchanged a glance, and Zhou Yuan spoke up, "To be honest, our sect urgently needs Fellow Daoist Lin's help."
