Chapter 563: Chapter 286: Tier Three Great Demon
Instead, there was only Sword Servant, glancing at the celestial phenomena of Core Formation, his hands instinctively clenched, somewhat worried about the situation of the Cyan-Horned Bull.
...
Demon Beasts forming a core is different from Human Race Cultivators.
The celestial phenomena turned out to be rolling dark clouds, evil energy soaring to the sky.
Although the Profound Sound Pavilion had already informed others, when the celestial phenomena of Core Formation truly appeared, there were still many cultivators flying over.
However, these cultivators were sensible, each one watching from a distance.
This time, only some Fake Pill Cultivators came; the rest were Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Many had secretly prepared gifts, and once the Core Formation succeeded, they would come to offer their congratulations.
Lin Chang’an’s identity now is not what it used to be; not only is he a Tier Three Array Master, but also a Core Formation Cultivator with great potential.
He is naturally worth visiting, and as long as they can establish some connection, the benefits are vast.
"Judging from the celestial phenomena of Core Formation, this Mr. Lin’s Spirit Pet should be an Earth-type Demon Beast, and its bloodline quality is not low."
"That’s right, I once saw Mr. Li of the Long Family, the Honored Guest Elder’s Tier Three Copper Armor Corpse Core Formation, the momentum was not as strong."
The Fake Pill Cultivators formed small groups and landed on the surrounding Spirit Peaks, exchanging thoughts.
Many Foundation Establishment Cultivators were also secretly amazed.
Speaking of Demon Beasts forming a core, the cultivators here have definitely seen far more than Human Race Cultivators forming a core.
After all, in the Demon Beast Abyss, whenever a demon beast breaks through Core Formation, it not only attracts the greed of fellow demon beasts but also the covetousness of Human Race Cultivators.
If one is lucky, hunting down a demon beast undergoing Core Formation might yield a demon core of slightly inferior quality.
Therefore, many experienced cultivators can roughly judge the attributes and bloodline of the demon beast based on the celestial phenomena of Core Formation.
...
On Five Dragons Island, the two Core Formation Cultivators, Zhu and Liang, of the Four Seas Commerce Association, looked at the celestial phenomena over the horizon, frowning.
"Brother Liang, this celestial phenomenon has lasted for several days, judging by this momentum, it’s likely to be an 18 or 19 success."
"At the very least, it’s a Spirit Pet with an upper-grade bloodline; Lin truly has luck on his side!"
Their conversation revealed their apprehension toward the current Profound Sound Pavilion.
They were very aware that these cultivators from outside were coming for the Secret Realm, and once its exploration was over, they would naturally disperse.
Profound Sound Pavilion is indeed the formidable rival of Four Seas Commerce Association in the Five Dragons Island Sea Region.
"Brother Zhu, do you think we might have a chance to recruit Mr. Lin a hundred years from now?"
After all, for Lin Chang’an to reside on Celestial Spring Peak is only a hundred-year period.
"The concern is that Mr. Lin might be reluctant to leave and wants to continue, joining Bihai Palace to stay at Profound Sound Pavilion."
"So what, as long as we offer enough benefits, there’s a chance to recruit him."
This is also the Bihai Palace’s open strategy; when Lin Chang’an formed his core, it was evident, or rather, they put it openly.
The hundred-year mandate to guard is neither short nor long, and with the various benefits here, as the term nears its end, cultivators will face the choice to stay or go.
"Alright, this time the Secret Realm’s commotion is significant, Mr. Lin’s Core Formation was nearly thirty years ago, we’re in no rush; for now, let’s take this opportunity to seek mutual benefit through amicable transactions."
In conversation, the two nodded in agreement.
...
However, after a few more days, a sudden anomaly erupted in the sky above Celestial Spring Peak.
"How is it possible! The momentum of the celestial phenomena had already stabilized; how could it suddenly surge up!"
This scene startled many cultivators, even drawing the attention of many Core Formation Cultivators who hadn’t come.
The expressions of Liang and Zhu from the Four Seas Commerce Association turned grim.
"This kind of celestial phenomenon in Core Formation, could it be forming an Upper Grade Demon Pill!"
In the sky, the rolling black clouds swirled with a five-colored halo, rapidly expanding to ten miles.
At the same time, a powerful aura of demon energy swept out,
Many cultivators witnessing this showed envy and jealousy in addition to admiration.
"Heavens! What kind of luck does Mr. Lin have, for his Spirit Pet to form an Upper Grade Demon Pill!"
The same Tier Three Spirit Pet also has distinctions in quality.
...
Currently, inside the pavilion of Celestial Spring Peak.
During a game of chess, both parties are locked in an intense battle, Lin Chang’an’s face was grim, on the verge of losing another major piece when the Core Formation celestial phenomena shifted.
"What is this!"
Fairy Ni Chang couldn’t help but lift her head, her gaze revealing rare astonishment.
This celestial phenomenon, this Mr. Lin has hidden himself well.
Ordinary Spirit Pet Core Formation doesn’t have such momentum; it was evidently well prepared.
However, she immediately felt more at ease, as this also meant the Profound Sound Pavilion gained a more promising Tier Three Demon Beast.
The next moment, a white chess piece fell with a crisp sound.
With slender, fair fingers, she gently placed the white piece; Fairy Ni Chang’s eyes slightly closed, but she couldn’t help but feel the other party wore a faint smile.
It was clear she realized that Lin Chang’an, intended to use this opportunity to stop playing.
The outcome on the board was decided, leaving Lin Chang’an speechless.
It wasn’t due to poor mindset, but rather out of hundreds of matches, he hadn’t won a single one.
"Mr. Lin, this chess game is also a form of mental cultivation."
Winning another match, Fairy Ni Chang laughed lightly and then sincerely spoke her mind.
"Back then, my master taught me that for a cultivator to go further, mental cultivation is essential, for when attempting further breakthroughs, the Heart Demon Tribulation is unavoidable!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chang’an’s expression gradually turned solemn, as he lifted his head to gaze at this Fairy Ni Chang.
In their mutual gaze, Fairy Ni Chang maintained a calm demeanor, with a hint of profound meaning in her eyes.
