A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

Chapter 143 Deep Sisterly Affection

Three months later, inside the cave in Tianxing City, Lin He looked with great satisfaction at the eight warrior puppets beside him, as well as the newly crafted Spirit-Nourishing Talisman.

These eight puppets, together with the previous four, make a total of twelve: four broadsword warrior puppets, four spear warrior puppets, and four giant axe warrior puppets.

As for the Spirit-Nourishing Talisman, it was made by nurturing a level seven strength-type demon beast—the Mountain-Moving Ape—using its level seven essence as the main material. After all, the materials for the Spirit-Nourishing Talisman had already been collected in several sets in Tiannan.

At this moment, the doors to the two quiet rooms opened. Lin He sensed the movement, put away the eight puppets and the spirit-gathering talisman, activated the formation, and walked out of the room.

At this moment, Yuan Yao and Yan Li were overjoyed. Lin He scanned them with his divine sense and found that they were now Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Upon seeing Lin He, Yuan Yao and the other person quickly said, "Thank you, Senior Lin!"

"Don't call me 'senior,' I'm not that old yet. My surname is Lin, you can call me Young Master Lin."

"Yes, Young Master Lin!"

The two women smiled radiantly, like a hundred flowers blooming together. Yuan Yao's stunning beauty even startled Lin He, who quickly regained his composure.

Yuan Yao seemed to realize something, blushed and lowered her head, while Yan Li watched the scene with great interest.

Lin He coughed and said, "Very good, you have both reached the Foundation Establishment stage, but don't slack off. Continue to cultivate diligently and strive to form your Core as soon as possible."

The two nodded naturally, but Yanli suddenly said, "Young Master Lin, are you aware of our past?"

Lin He shook his head. Yanli glanced at Yuan Yao and continued, "We were originally disciples of a small sect near Kui Xing Island, later..."

Li

"We encountered trouble at the sect, and my sister and I had to flee. We both knew we couldn't obtain Foundation Establishment Pills on our own, so we often wandered around Kui Xing City during that time, hoping to find a powerful male cultivator to guide our cultivation. Young Master Lin, would you look down on people like us?"

Lin He glanced at the two of them before saying, "Of course not. You two have no background, and if you want to go further on the path of cultivation, it's not wrong to rely on a powerful male cultivator, but—"

Yanli misunderstood and quickly explained, "Young Master Lin, please rest assured, we have not done anything improper and have always been very proper. We are still virgins."

Yuan Yao blushed upon hearing this. Lin He was taken aback; he had meant to say something about possibly encountering demonic cultivators, but Yanli seemed to have misunderstood him. He then asked, "Yanli, why are you saying all this now?"

Yanli quickly said, "I just want to tell Young Master Lin that we have not hidden anything from you, nor have we done anything wrong. We hope that Young Master Lin can be open and honest. We will do our best to help you in any way we can."

"So that's how it is," Lin He thought for a moment, then copied a jade slip and handed it to the two of them, saying, "Actually, there's nothing to hide. This is a dual cultivation technique called Yin-Yang Harmony Technique. As long as one of you switches to this technique after you reach the Core Formation stage and practices it to a certain level, you can help me break through the bottleneck when I seize the primordial yin."

Lin He spoke very frankly, making the two women blush with embarrassment. Especially when they saw the pictures in the jade slip, they wished they could find a hole to crawl into.

Yanli asked again, "Young Master Lin, you only need one person to help you break through your bottleneck, so who is the other person?"

Lin He chuckled and handed her another copied jade slip. "This is a dual cultivation technique that can enhance the cultivation of male cultivators in the Core Formation stage. However, it requires the female cultivator to be a virgin and at least have Foundation Establishment cultivation. The moment you take the female cultivator's yin essence, you can significantly increase her cultivation."

After hearing this, Yanli and Yuanyao finally understood, and then they met Lin He's ambiguous smile.

"I'll be leaving Tianxing City in a few days. Before that, you should discuss who will cultivate the main techniques and who will cultivate the secret arts."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao was immediately troubled, but Yan Li said, "Let me cultivate the secret technique. Junior Sister Yuan's aptitude is far superior to mine. By preserving her primordial yin body, she can speed up the cultivation of that technique in the future, and perhaps even have a sliver of hope of forming a nascent soul."

"Senior Sister!"

Yuan Yao seemed to want to say something, but Yan Li interrupted her, "Junior Sister, there's no need to say anything more. It's decided then."

Yuan Yao sighed and tactfully returned to her quiet room. Lin He gave her a deep look and praised, "Truly, you two have a deep sisterly bond."

Yanli then said, "Junior Sister Yuan is so well-behaved and lovely, of course I have to think of her. Young Master Lin, shall we begin now?"

'

Three days later, the door to Lin He's room remained tightly closed, and the array remained activated. Since Yanli entered the room three days ago, she had not come out. Yuan Yao looked anxious, but she understood her senior sister's good intentions.

"Senior Sister is still not entirely at ease, fearing that the so-called dual cultivation method might damage my cultivation foundation. Therefore, she plans to use herself as a test subject to probe my abilities. Senior Sister is truly kind to me, but she still hasn't come out yet—"

Suddenly the door opened, and Yuan Yao looked up and was taken aback.

At this moment, Lin He and Yan Li seemed to be having a pleasant conversation. The two walked out very intimately, looking like they had a very good relationship. Yan Li's face still had a charming blush.

"Junior Sister!"

"Senior sister, you—"

Lin He glanced at Yuan Yao, then left a storage bag behind. "Inside are some pills to help you improve your Foundation Establishment cultivation. Focus on your cultivation and don't go out. I'll have someone send you some supplies every now and then. Yuan Yi, protect them. I'm leaving Tianxing City."

Yuan Yi nodded naturally. Yan Li looked at Lin He with a reluctant expression. Lin He patted her head to comfort her. Yan Li obediently said, "I will cultivate diligently and wait for you to come back."

Lin He nodded, then went to the Miaoyin Sect to explain some things, and then went to the shop to buy seven or eight portions of Snow Spirit Water and Heavenly Fire Liquid. He then used the Star Palace's teleportation array to travel to the outer sea.

After Lin He left, Yuan Yao quickly said, "Senior Sister, why did you stay for three days? I was very worried about you."

Yanli blushed upon hearing this, then whispered, "I never expected this secret technique to be so powerful, I—"

Yuan Yao quickly asked, "Impressive? Then didn't you damage your foundation?"

"Ah—" Yanli was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "Silly boy, that's not what I meant by amazing. I can't say it directly, but you'll understand when the time comes. I can only tell you that this secret technique not only didn't harm me, but it actually improved my cultivation a little."

"What?!"

"Junior sister, the appearance of Young Master Lin is a tremendous opportunity for us, and we must cherish it."

Yuan Yao seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.

Lin He returned to Biling Island, gave Yan Ruyan the materials for refining water-attribute magic weapons, and handed over the array materials for three sets of Core Formation stage formations to Xin Ruyin.

While nurturing level seven spirit beasts and obtaining various level seven demon beast materials, he also learned weapon crafting techniques from Nangong Wan.

Three years later, Lin He finally began to refine his natal magic weapon.
