Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Even the array barrier set by Lin Chang’an possesses the effect of gathering spiritual energy.

One by one, Spirit Stones appeared in his palm, simultaneously accelerating his mana recovery.

In this way, the life aura of the Phoenix Cry Bird within the egg also became increasingly rich.

Even, within the egg, a faint image of a bird rebirthing in fire could be seen.

As days went by, the aura of Core Formation became increasingly terrifying.

At this moment, Lin Chang’an could clearly feel that the Phoenix Cry Bird within the eggshell had reached the critical moment of condensing a Demon Core!

"Demonic power transforming into crystal! Next is the quality of core formation."

The Phoenix Cry Bird, being such an exotic beast, inherently possesses noble bloodline, equivalent to the spirit body among human cultivators.

As a result, this bird turns out to be the exceedingly rare Golden Flame Divine Phoenix, with its bloodline stepping up a level.

Heaven is fair; if it grants you a heaven-defying talent, naturally it imposes corresponding tribulations.

At the instant when the mana within transformed into crystal, Lin Chang’an felt the terrifying aura.

"This is not an ordinary Demon Core!"

Lin Chang’an took a deep breath, fortunately having been prepared.

He patted his storage bag, and several Upper Grade Spirit Stones appeared, spinning around the Spirit Gathering Array surrounding the egg.

In an instant, the pure mana from the Upper Grade Spirit Stones began to be extracted, gradually transforming into streaks of spiritual light absorbed by the egg.

Upper Grade Spirit Stones, even to a Core Formation Cultivator, are of unparalleled value; otherwise, this Core Formation Late Stage Blood Evil Master wouldn’t only have just over a hundred of them left.

Back when exploring the Secret Realm, he received forty-three Upper Grade Spirit Stones; this time, they come just in handy.

With the infusion of incomparably pure mana, the absorption of external spiritual energy naturally diminishes.

Yet even so, the Core Formation phenomena made the eyes of Fairy Ni Chang outside sparkle with peculiar light, while Master Li was filled with jealousy.

This momentum, could it be that his spirit pet is forming a Middle Grade Core?

Just like human cultivators, the core formation of a demon beast also has grades.

However, at this moment, outsiders would not understand the situation inside.

...

Inside the egg, spiritual light flickers, and the evolving form of the Phoenix Cry Bird gradually appears.

At the same time, the Demon Core begins to take shape.

"Upper Grade Golden Core! No! This is a Top Grade... Immortal Golden Core!"

In Lin Chang’an’s perception, the quality of the nascent Golden Core steadily improved amidst the sea of fire.

At this moment, Lin Chang’an felt a shudder, filled with envy.

He was, in fact, envious of the bloodline of a spirit pet.

But on reflection, one can understand that if the Golden Flame Divine Phoenix formed only a Low Level Golden Core, there would be a problem.

"However, the larger the potential of the spirit pet, the more beneficial it is for me."

Lin Chang’an’s heart pounded with excitement, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Although it wasn’t him personally forming the core, the higher the core formed by his spirit pet, the greater support it would provide him in the future.

"But my Upper Grade Spirit Stones!"

Seeing that close to twenty of his Upper Grade Spirit Stones were consumed, Lin Chang’an felt the pain.

At this moment, a phoenix cry came from within the egg, startling Lin Chang’an as he realized the Phoenix Cry Bird was ready to break out of the egg.

This was the final step!

Rebirth in fire!

The clear sound of metal clashing continuously echoed as the eggshell remained intact.

At the same time, a plea of weakness and comprehension came through, letting him know that the Phoenix Cry Bird was too weak.

"Give it one more push!"

Lin Chang’an steeled his resolve, gritting his teeth to extract an Upper Grade Spirit Stone to restore his mana.

At the same time, he frantically injected his mana.

Under this surge of life aura and mana infusion, the Phoenix Cry Bird within the egg swiftly recovered from the weakness of rebirth in fire.

Whether it was physical strength or mana.

As time trickled by, finally after half a month.

With a crisp sound echoing, Lin Chang’an’s eyes widened as he saw a crack finally appear on the egg.

In an instant, a wisp of faint golden flame swirled out, and in just this moment, the barrier around the egg was instantly burned through, causing Lin Chang’an’s pupils to shrink with a trace of fear.

Luckily, he was far away and did not forcibly assist the Phoenix Cry Bird, otherwise, just one wisp of this flame touching him would have turned him to ashes.

Soon, the crack in the egg widened, the raging golden flames through the cracks burned through the surrounding barrier, frightening Lin Chang’an to quickly withdraw his lifebound spirit plant.

Nonetheless, he retreated ten zhang away.

Finally!

With a crisp sound resounding, under the resonant phoenix cry, an extremely dazzling golden fire phoenix flew out from the core.

The next moment, the temperature inside the cave soared sharply, and the excited Phoenix Cry Bird that broke out of the egg seemed to be rejuvenated, soared directly into the magma below.

...

Outside, the formidable core formation phenomena emitted a rolling rosy glow, clearly indicating successful core formation.

Countless cultivators of the Profound Sound Pavilion, witnessing this moment, were filled with envy.

Even though it’s a demon beast forming a core, it’s enough to make them envious.

But Master Li, upon witnessing this scene, was overtaken by jealousy.

"This momentum, even if not an Upper Grade Golden Core, it’s still an Upper Middle Grade Golden Core!"

At this moment, Master Li became envious. Although his Copper Armor Corpse was decent, it was merely a Low Grade Golden Core, with limited potential.

Yet even so, relying on the identity of the Copper Armor Corpse, he could ride on success.

These past years, throwing his lot in with Five Dragons Island, engaging in shady dealings, all in pursuit of the Pill Formation Secret Skill promised by Five Dragons Island.

Yet now, why is it that everyone is a Fake Pill Cultivator, and your spirit pet forms a Middle Upper Grade Core while mine is just Low Grade?

"Damn it!"

Meanwhile, Fairy Ni Chang completely abandoned her previous thoughts, deeming it necessary to rope in Master He. Even if unable to rope him in, she must at least make an ally.
