A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

Chapter 165 Spirit Sealing Pillar

In a general store in Tianxing City, when Lin He, Nangong Wan, and Xin Ruyin arrived, a female disciple quickly greeted the three of them and led them upstairs.

Suddenly, a soft laugh came from inside the private room, and then the door opened, revealing two women.

One of them was Zhou Yuan, and the other woman was wearing a yellow dress with a pretty face and bright eyes that were curiously looking at Lin He.

"Protector Lin, let me introduce you. This is my daughter, Zi Ling."

"Zi Ling greets Protector Lin!"

The woman in yellow bowed very respectfully and said with a charming smile, "Protector Lin came and went in a hurry, and Zi Ling has never had the chance to meet him. Today, my wish has finally been fulfilled."

Lin He glanced at her subconsciously. At this moment, Zi Ling was clearly not her true face, but had used some secret method to conceal her appearance, and looked like just a pretty girl with decent looks.

Nangong Wan and Xin Ruyin were also sizing up Ziling, the latter being no exception.

Lin He waved his hand and said, "Miss Zi Ling, there's no need for such formalities."

Before Lin He could ask any more questions, Zhou Yuan took out a map. "The materials you need haven't all been found yet, but I have found the place that Protector Lin asked me to find. Here is the map, the place is marked. By the way, I also put in a lot of effort in this matter."

Zhou Yuan was puzzled. The place Lin He asked her to find was just a desolate mountain, completely deserted, and she didn't know what it was all about, but she didn't dare to ask.

"Then thank you very much, Miss Ziling." Lin He casually took out a Youth Preservation Pill. "I'm sure the Miaoyin Sect has no shortage of Foundation Establishment Pills, so let's use this Youth Preservation Pill as a gift."

Upon hearing this, Zi Ling's face lit up with joy, her eyes burning with desire, but she remained polite and did not rush to accept it.

Seeing this, Lin He smiled slightly. Sure enough, no female cultivator could resist the temptation of the Youth Preservation Pill, not even someone as proud and arrogant as Zi Ling.

"Since it's a gift from Protector Lin, you should accept it."

After Zhou Yuan finished speaking, Zi Ling accepted the gift and bowed to express her gratitude.

Lin He glanced at the map, where there was a marker indicating the place he was looking for. He then put the map away and said, "For the next period of time, Protector Nangong, Protector Xin, and I will be staying in Tianxing City. If you have collected all the materials, please let us know."

Lin He left his contact information and was about to leave when Zhou Yuan said again, "Protector Lin, my cultivation is low. Could you please give me some pointers when you have some free time?"

Lin He gave Zhou Yuan a deep look, then met Zi Ling's expectant gaze before nodding and saying, "Alright, I'm planning to open a small shop in a few days. If Miss Zi Ling would like to be a regular shop assistant—"

"Zi Ling is naturally willing to follow Protector Lin and listen to his teachings."

"Okay, it's settled then."

After leaving Miaoyin Sect, Lin He and his two companions quickly left Tianxing City through the city gate and flew towards the location marked on the map.

"My lord, if this person is really as you say, he may be difficult to deal with. Even if we can defeat him, we may not be able to stop him from escaping."

Xin Ruyin smiled and said, "Master, please rest assured, young master is absolutely confident about this trip."

Lin He nodded and handed over a spirit beast pouch. Nangong Wan took it and looked at it, then exclaimed softly, "So this is the spirit beast you mentioned. No wonder you were so confident; you had something to rely on."

The three flew for quite some time before finally arriving at a desolate mountain.

Xin Ruyin had already formed her core, and her mastery of formations had reached a new level. At this moment, on a gentle slope in the middle of the desolate mountain, a patch of yellow mist, about a mile in diameter, was shrouded in. She immediately discerned many intricacies and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's actually a formation with both earth and wind attributes!"

Nangong Wan then said, "No wonder you brought Ruyin with you. This formation looks quite complicated, but if you really want to break it, you should be able to do it with your brute force."

Lin He shook his head and said, "One force can overcome ten techniques. Of course, brute force can be used to break the formation, but these formations are not simple. I specially let Ruyin see them so that she can set up similar formations in the future."

Xin Ruyin nodded and said, "Young Master is right. If we use brute force to break the formation, I'm afraid I will really miss an excellent learning opportunity."

"Then let's break the formation slowly, it won't make a difference if it takes a little more time." Nangong Wan naturally had no objection.

Xin Ruyin shared her insights and discussed them with Lin He, finally coming up with a strategy of using formations to break formations.

Just as the three were about to make their move, a strange man with two swords strapped to his back suddenly appeared.

The strange man was thin and bony, yet possessed the cultivation level of the mid-stage Core Formation realm, clearly no ordinary person. Seeing Lin He and his companions about to break the formation, he shouted, "Who are you? How dare you trespass on this island? If you don't leave, don't blame this island lord for being impolite."

"leave?"

Lin He naturally understood that this person was the guardian of the Xuan Bone from the Extreme Yin Sect. He didn't even bother to say anything and directly took out a spirit beast bag. Tens of thousands of gold-devouring insects immediately flew out, turning into a cloud of gold and silver insects, which quickly surrounded the strange man.

The strange man was taken aback and hurriedly used the two swords on his back to slash, but the Gold-Eating Insect's body was hard and the effect was not great. He then used various demonic fire attacks, but they were all devoured by the Gold-Eating Insect.

The strange man finally showed surprise. Just as he was about to think of another way to deal with the spirit insect, Lin He suddenly grabbed at him in the air, and a golden handprint immediately flew out. In the blink of an eye, it was above his head. Then, a huge force appeared, which the strange man could not resist at all. With just one collision, he was sent flying dozens of meters away.

The strange man's face turned ashen, and he stood up with trembling body, preparing to take out his magic weapon to attack. At this moment, a blue figure appeared beside him, and with just one thick arm, grabbed the strange man's neck.

The strange man tried to struggle, but he was powerless in the golden light and could not break free. Lin He's face turned cold, and he knocked him unconscious with a single slap.

A mid-stage Core Formation cultivator was defeated by Lin He before he could even display much of his strength. After all, the strange man had not yet obtained the Flower Basket Ancient Treasure, so his strength was greatly reduced. Lin He took all of his storage bags but did not kill him immediately.

"These people must have handed over a small part of their primordial spirit to Ji Yin. As soon as I kill him, Ji Yin will immediately notice. After all, now is not the time to deal with Ji Yin."

Over the next few months, Xin Ruyin used various methods to break the formations one by one, and finally broke all the formations one by one. As a result, her skills in formations improved considerably, and soon a spirit-sealing pillar appeared in this place.
