Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Chapter 648: Chapter 323: Plotting the Clear Spirit Pill

Celestial Spring Peak.

This journey to the ghost realm was full of gains, yet it also revealed some secrets.

It made Lin Chang’an realize that the ghost realm was deep and dangerous, and if not necessary, he should avoid going there lightly.

"Still, this trip was worth it."

Inside the cave, looking at the jade scrolls he organized, after filling the new bookshelf to the brim, Lin Chang’an showed a satisfied smile.

This greatly satisfied his hobby of collecting.

"Most of the Yin Soul Sect’s inheritances are here: various ancient texts, spells, cultivation insights, the Hundred Skills of Cultivation, and other jade scrolls."

He classified them one by one, even specifically dividing them into dozens of categories.

If he found a small place or returned to the Seven Kingdoms at this time, relying on this foundation, it would be enough to establish a sect and become a Golden Core Patriarch.

"These foundations are enough for me to digest for a while, especially the records in these ancient texts, many of which are not available outside."

While Lin Chang’an was organizing the gains from this trip, the Phoenix Cry Bird did not return to the underground fire cave but unusually perched on his shoulder.

"Master, you’re tired."

The Phoenix Cry Bird appeared flattering, but its constantly moving eyeballs betrayed its cunning.

However, those eyes were fixated on the yin spirit beast king, the two-headed tiger, with drool almost dripping out, making Lin Chang’an speechless.

"Tired? Not really."

Nevertheless, Lin Chang’an pretended not to see it, ignoring its words.

This made the Phoenix Cry Bird anxious, but it still held back its eagerness, even adopting a playful and fawning posture.

"Master, you see this little yin spirit tiger is of no use, why not let me eat it?"

The Phoenix Cry Bird’s greed was directly revealed, its eyes intently focused on the corner of the cave, where the shrunken yin spirit beast king lay.

Instantly, the two-headed tiger yin spirit beast king shivered in fear, a terror born from the depths of its soul.

"Glutton!"

Lin Chang’an chuckled, lightly knocking on the Phoenix Cry Bird’s head.

"You’re really daring to think this, even though this yin spirit beast king is not strong in power, I spent so much effort controlling it, and you think you can eat it in one go."

How much is a yin spirit beast king worth anyway?

To cultivate this one, not to mention wasting time, just the materials spent on crafting the control treasure were substantial.

He would be at a great loss if it were that simple to throw away after use.

"Master!"

The Phoenix Cry Bird began rubbing his shoulders and fanning him, looking at Lin Chang’an with a fawning expression that made him amused.

"Alright, considering the good harvest this time, this Tier Three Lower Grade Yin Spirit Demon Pill is your reward, but don’t target this two-headed tiger yin spirit."

As Lin Chang’an took out a Tier Three Lower Grade Yin Spirit Demon Pill, the Phoenix Cry Bird immediately let out an excited cry, patting its chest to promise:

"Don’t worry, Master; this little yin spirit is only worth this demon pill."

It opened its mouth and swallowed the demon pill, looking satisfied. It didn’t even glance at the yin spirit cowering in the corner.

Transformed into a golden light, it flew toward the underground fire cave.

"Master, I’m off to cultivate."

The Phoenix Cry Bird, having gained a benefit, couldn’t wait to return to its shiny spirit stone-constructed nest to cultivate.

As the Phoenix Cry Bird left, the two-headed tiger yin spirit beast king in the corner finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, as Lin Chang’an’s gaze turned towards it, the two-headed tiger yin spirit beast king immediately tucked its tail and lay down in fear again.

"A yin spirit beast king; it would be too wasteful if it were merely this."

Lin Chang’an squinted his eyes, deep in thought.

Earlier, he discovered that his Profound Celestial Mana could also purify yin spirits.

Common yin spirits are usually born from endless grievances, often involving the unwillingness and resentment of cultivators or demon beasts nearing death.

This leads those yin spirits to become filled with violence.

However, there exist some special yin spirits, such as those nurtured in certain special spirit lands, transformed from highly pure yin energy.

This category of yin spirits has high potential, and as they grow to Tier Three, they gradually gain intelligence, though such instances are rare.

In fact, most of these special yin spirits, later on, have impurity due to long-term devouring of their kind.

He didn’t do this before, first due to a lack of extra time, and second, although a pure Tier Three Yin Spirit Beast King could have been brought to the Yin Soul Sect island, it might have attracted unwanted attention.

"According to ancient texts, a purely cultivated yin spirit beast king holds considerable value."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but nod silently, though it merely held value as a potential spirit pet.

The main issue is that yin spirit beast kings are full of violent thoughts, difficult to tame, unlike demon beasts like the Cyan-Horned Bull.

Raised from a young age, they become more intimate with their master and are generally not traitorous.

"I’ll keep it for now; it is, after all, a Tier Three yin spirit beast king. Occasionally, it can yield unexpected results."

After he invested so many resources in it, taking out the yin spirit demon pill would be too wasteful.

"Count yourself lucky."

With a change of thought, he decided the two-headed tiger yin spirit beast king’s future, showing a calm expression.

Raising his hand, he enclosed it in a Spirit Beast Bag, allowing time for purification with Profound Celestial Mana.

Once purified, this Tier Three yin spirit beast king would gradually awaken like an ordinary demon beast and become tameable.

With such an enormous harvest, Lin Chang’an had no desire to venture outside for hunting, surrounded by a mountain of treasures, he couldn’t help but desire to remain there to digest it.
