Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

"The Yin spirits here are rampant, different from those seen in the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea, even more violent. After passing through this place, there are only two more to go."

As Lin Chang’an continued to delve deeper, gusts of ghost wind whipped up in the sky.

This is ghost wind; cultivators with weaker cultivation or injuries can clearly feel their vitality weakening under its influence.

The ghost wind erodes a cultivator’s life force; if an ordinary Qi Refining Cultivator encounters it here, a gust would turn them into a Yin corpse in no time.

Even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator can only hold out a little longer.

"Roar!"

As he continued deeper, the rampant Yin spirits and the terrifying beings like Yin corpses formed from cultivators who died here over the ages appeared.

Although the Phoenix Cry Bird disliked this place, it showed a look of greed in the face of the Yin spirits and Yin corpses.

"If this Phoenix Cry Bird cultivates in this Five Elements Forbidden Land, it might break through to the fourth level in less than a hundred years."

Along the way, Lin Chang’an felt he should be the most relaxed among the cultivators.

No other reason, just relying on the Phoenix Cry Bird to easily get through.

This is why, before entering various secret realms, countless cultivators try every means to devise some restraining methods.

Attribute suppression is truly irresistible.

As he ventured deeper, the ghost wind became more terrifying, yet under Lin Chang’an’s calm gaze, the four-symbol dragon scale armor inside his dharma robe once again proved its worth.

With spiritual light flickering and under the wind attribute, these terrifying ghost winds that seep everywhere felt like a gentle spring breeze to Lin Chang’an as he passed through them effortlessly.

Meanwhile, the Phoenix Cry Bird didn’t dare to be as ostentatious here as in the Fire Forbidden Land, but wherever it went, golden light flickered, and countless Yin spirits were directly devoured.

As for the Yin corpses, they were either pecked out of their corpse pills by the Phoenix Cry Bird’s sharp beak or turned into ashes by its fiery breath.

Even many Yin spirits and Yin corpses, upon sensing the presence of the Phoenix Cry Bird, instinctively shivered in terror.

"Yin Spirit Grass, this Five Elements Forbidden Land is truly a treasure land."

In a patch of Yin soil, after picking another Spirit Grass, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but reveal a satisfied smile.

As for the poisonous insects around, they were all annihilated by his Sun-piercing Divine Sword.

After putting away the Yin Spirit Grass, when the Sun-piercing Divine Sword fell into his hand, Lin Chang’an squinted, feeling the changes in the sword.

The blade was now more resilient and tougher, and with his mana infused, the blade instantly sprouted red flames.

Unlike before, where there were only wisps, this was a quantitative change.

"The Lifebound Treasure is significantly stronger than before, but to achieve a qualitative change, it still lacks the crucial balance of Yin and Yang."

This made Lin Chang’an sigh. Of course, if he continued to accumulate energy, using quantity to induce a qualitative change wasn’t impossible, but it was undoubtedly time-consuming and laborious.

Unless he could find another Fire Forbidden Land in the future, he naturally wouldn’t mind using this method.

Regrettable!

Then Lin Chang’an stowed away the Sun-piercing Divine Sword and calmly looked down at the map in his hand amid the terrifying ghost wind.

Ordinary Core Formation Cultivators, even with treasures to fend off the ghost wind, would avoid it as much as possible, advancing when the wind was calm, thus moving very slowly.

But Lin Chang’an was different; relying on his treasure armor and Phoenix Cry Bird, he encountered little danger along the way.

"Yin Soul Sect, Bihai Palace, and the scroll gifted by Mr. Su, this journey through the Five Elements Forbidden Land yielded quite a harvest of spirit plants and spiritual ores."

Looking at his full storage bag, Lin Chang’an only kept a portion, with the rest stored in his own space.

Under the rampage of ghost wind, numerous cultivators who entered here found it unbearable.

The previous two forbidden lands had already consumed too much mana and energy, and some were even wounded, making it more difficult here.

Under the influence of Yin energy and ghost wind, wounds healed slowly, not to mention the insidious greed in people, with cultivators taking advantage of each other not being uncommon.

"Another Yin corpse."

Perhaps because he lagged behind due to nurturing his magical treasures in the Fire Forbidden Land, he encountered numerous bodies destroyed by ghost wind along the way.

Before him lay a half-exposed corpse, its face sunken and skin blue-black, with nothing of value left on it.

Judging by the attire, Lin Chang’an shook his head silently. He had some impression of this female cultivator before; she was as beautiful as a flower, yet ended up like this.

"Even her storage bag is gone, and the wound indicates being cleaved into two by a magical artifact’s sharpness."

Clearly the work of another cultivator who entered the secret realm.

Regrettably, Lin Chang’an shook his head with indifference. He had no intention of wasting a drop of mana to handle the body, for here, every ounce of power used in magical combat mattered to a cultivator.

"The Five Elements Forbidden Land, I wonder if any Yin attribute spiritual fire-like spiritual object exists in this final water extreme cold land."

With a flicker in his eyes, Lin Chang’an knew that though he was planning the path to Nascent Soul, there was still a distance to truly achieving it.

Having witnessed so many cultivators before and now with the emergence of the Insect Demon Inheritor, only by enhancing his power could he steadily plan for Nascent Soul.

"Even Nascent Soul Cultivators would covet the spiritual objects for Nascent Soul Formation; thus, if I rely solely on myself to plan for Nascent Soul, I might end up dealing with those Nascent Soul Cultivators as well.

This is too perilous, and given the previous Insect Demon, it might stir up trouble ahead, necessitating some additional means, at least having the ability to escape."

He didn’t believe that Su Miaoyin at her peak would be weaker than him, especially since the life-preserving methods left by a Nascent Soul Cultivator wouldn’t be inferior to his.

Now, calculating over and again, it seems enhancing the power of his Lifebound Treasure is the only way to boost his battle strength directly.
