Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

On an island within the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea where Yin spirits gather.

Concealed by the array, flames filled the formation, and countless Yin spirits began to dissipate.

Under the cry of the Phoenix Cry Bird, an overwhelming attribute suppression was released, and a Tier Three Yin Spirit Beast King finally turned to ashes with an unwilling howl.

"Finally done!"

With the Yin spirits purged, Lin Chang’an let out a sigh of relief. With a wave of his hand, the fire attribute spiritual energy within the formation began to dissipate, gradually returning to its previous murky state.

Upon reaching the spring eye of the Yin Vein Spiritual Spring, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but show a joyful expression.

"There’s quite a lot of Profound Water Liquid this time; it was worth the trip."

Looking at the surrounding mess and his own tattered Dharma Robe, Lin Chang’an let out a long sigh.

"Time sure flies, I’ve been in the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea for twenty years without realizing it."

[Life Span: 132/293]

[Realm: Foundation Establishment Late Stage (88/100)]

All these years, he relied on the Phoenix Cry Bird to hunt Yin Spirit Beast Kings, collect Core Formation Spiritual Objects, and cultivate in this Yin Vein saturated place.

The cultivation speed over these twenty years was quite rapid.

"After all, the Phoenix Cry Bird is Tier Three, equivalent to a Core Formation cultivator. If my cultivation speed slowed down, I might as well give up now."

Lin Chang’an shook his head with a smile, he had to admit that with his Spiritual Eye and the Phoenix Cry Bird in the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea, it felt like being home.

Even over these years, he realized his powerful perception could sense the climates of the Demon Beast Abyss.

For instance, one time, he had a foreboding, sensing something was off with the weather, so he hid on an island and set up an array.

Sure enough, the next day, a terrifying gale swept through, leaving him in shock and awe.

The gales of the Demon Beast Abyss, even a Golden Core cultivator, if swept in, would have to shed a layer of skin even if they survived.

In the beginning, he and the Phoenix Cry Bird hunted Yin spirits, but Tier Three Yin Spirit Beast Kings weren’t easy to find, and he still needed to cultivate in the vast sea.

Hence, he could only hunt down a Tier Three Yin Spirit Beast King every one or two years, but as he delved deeper, the Yin Qi grew denser, and unknown dangers increased.

"Although the Phoenix Cry Bird restrains Yin spirits, this extreme attribute suppression also makes it a great nourishment for them!"

He still remembered eight years ago, when he carelessly landed on an island with seven Tier Three Yin Spirit Beast Kings.

The scene had him turning pale with fright.

Even the Phoenix Cry Bird, which typically feasted on Yin Spirit Beast Kings, widened its big eyes and assisted him in a rapid escape.

They fled for over two months before finally shaking them off.

"Though the Phoenix Cry Bird takes Yin Spirit Beast Kings as nourishment, encountering a powerful Yin Spirit Beast King makes them covet the Phoenix Cry Bird’s flesh and demon core."

Throughout the years, he encountered many rare demon beasts in the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea.

There were even terrifying demon beasts he barely glanced at from afar before hurriedly fleeing, only daring to roam the outskirts.

He also witnessed Tier Two Mermaid Demon Beasts that could speak, with upper bodies resembling beautiful women, specially luring to hunt Human Race cultivators.

"Chirp, chirp!"

The Phoenix Cry Bird circled around vigilantly, and after confirming no other dangers, it descended.

Its massive form shrank, landing directly on Lin Chang’an’s shoulder.

The Phoenix Cry Bird chirped, spitting out the Tier Three Lower Grade Yin Spirit Demon Pill from its mouth, much to Lin Chang’an’s satisfaction.

"Another Tier Three Lower Grade Demon Pill, nicely done."

Over the years, he continuously collected Core Formation Spiritual Objects, having enough Profound Water Liquid for the two of them to achieve Core Formation.

But considering his low aptitude, having more wouldn’t hurt, so he kept collecting.

He also mastered the Three-Turns Condensing Pill Formulas, initially trading for a Tier Three Lower Grade Wood Attribute Demon Pill from a Profound Sound Pavilion Elder on Five Dragons Island.

Subsequently, Yun Yao gifted him a Tier Three Middle Grade Wood Attribute Demon Pill.

Over the years, he also traded for a Tier Three Lower Grade Wood Attribute Demon Pill at the black market in the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea using a Yin Spirit Demon Pill.

"Over the years, I’ve almost refined the three Demon Pills, and I’m one step away from completing the Three-Turns Condensing Pill Formulas."

Lin Chang’an pondered silently, considering his poor aptitude and the extensive preparations he had made.

"Currently, I have the materials for the Crystal Condensing Pill, but I’m still missing the crucial Heavenly Crystal Flower. Once I have that, I can start refining the Crystal Condensing Pill."

With two portions of Profound Water Liquid, the Three-Turns Condensing Pill Formulas, and the materials he prepared for the Crystal Condensing Pill,

It’s true his aptitude is low, but with so many resources, if he still can’t reach Core Formation, it would defy all reason.

"Moo!" Just then, the Cyan-Horned Bull came over, nudging his trouser leg, amusing Lin Chang’an greatly.

"Alright, it’s time for us to head back too."

The reason his cultivation speed was so rapid over these years was primarily due to cultivating in the Yin Vein Land for so long.

Ordinary cultivators might not endure it, and even demon beasts like the Cyan-Horned Bull and the Phoenix Cry Bird with such attributes couldn’t adapt to this place.

But his ancient cultivation technique was unbothered by these conditions, allowing his Spirit Pets to cultivate here too.

"The sea is too vast, making searching difficult without wasting cultivation time; otherwise, I could have hunted more Yin Spirit Beast Kings."

Over the years, he only managed to hunt eight Tier Three Early Stage Yin Spirit Beast Kings.

As for Tier Three Middle Stage ones, he didn’t want to take that risk. Furthermore, those with Tier Three Middle Stage Yin Spirit Beast Kings could already start harnessing the terrifying Yin Qi of the Yin Vein.

Although the Phoenix Cry Bird’s attribute restrained them, it held no advantage when the Yin spirits gathered, deprived of favorable conditions.

So Lin Chang’an only focused on Tier Three Early Stage, and even the Phoenix Cry Bird repeatedly shook its head, unwilling to risk hunting Tier Three Middle Stage Yin spirits.

Your attributes might restrain them, but the geomantic advantage is theirs.
