Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Chapter 654: Chapter 325: Raising the Two-Headed Tiger

"Old Lin! Are you still looking for the lair of the Tier Three Middle and Late Stage Yin Spirit Beast King in the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea?"

The matter of the Profound Yin Fruit had just ended, and Lin Chang’an brought this up again, leaving Hu Jin speechless.

"Old Hu, what are you thinking? I’m not that reckless."

Seeing Hu Jin’s shocked expression, Lin Chang’an smiled wryly and then explained:

"Who would have thought that only the lairs of the Tier Three Middle and Late Stage Yin Spirit Beast Kings might grow this Yin Spirit Flower, and this Yin Spirit Flower is exceptionally sensitive and special.

Once picked, or even when the spiritual energy fluctuates, it withers in a very short time, making it extremely difficult to preserve."

After listening to Lin Chang’an’s explanation, Hu Jin suddenly understood.

"So that’s how it is. I thought you, Old Lin, were so brave now, daring to target the Tier Three Late Stage Yin Spirit Beast King."

Yin Spirits differ from other demon beasts, often living in groups, making them quite dangerous.

Hu Jin’s hearty laughter, such companion objects that grow only in special demon beast lairs, are all too common in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

This is nothing. Legend has it that a kind of Nascent Soul Formation Spiritual Object only exists in the lairs of Transformed Great Demons.

"With my current strength, how could I think of that? I’m just looking for the spiritual flower near the lair, nothing else."

Behind Lin Chang’an’s calm smile, he didn’t explain further to Hu Jin.

After all, if someone truly knew he was hunting the Tier Three Late Stage Yin Spirit Beast King, wouldn’t it expose his strength?

The reason he mentioned it to Old Hu was to see if anyone had information in this regard, at least to save some search time.

As for the ghostly area, Old Hu didn’t ask, since it was known to have issues before.

Typically, it’s not necessary, like Lin Chang’an, they’d rather spend time and effort at the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea than carelessly venture into the ghostly area.

"Of the three main ingredients needed for the Clear Spirit Pill, I already have the Clear Spirit Jade. If there’s news of the nine-hundred-year-old Profound Yin Fruit, I’ll purchase it at Sea Source City.

The remaining High Tier Yin Spirit Beast King Demon Pill can be found along the way, also solving the problem of financial shortage."

After Lin Chang’an and Hu Jin parted ways, he first visited a shop in Bihai Palace to buy the location of a Tier Three Yin Spirit Beast King’s lair.

He then headed to the Profound Sound Pavilion to inquire about the Yin Spirit Beast King’s lair as well.

...

"Mr. Lin, within the sect, there is a Sea Map of the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea. Previously explored by cultivators, there were a few Yin Spirit Beast King lairs, but they are all Tier Three Early Stage."

Fairy Ni Chang, after hearing this, slightly furrowed her brows, then shared the information she knew.

After all, High-Level Tier Three Yin Spirit Beast Kings are hard to handle, and the rewards aren’t proportional.

These Tier Three Early Stage Yin Spirit Beast King lairs were explored due to the planning of Core Formation Spiritual Objects.

For this reason, the Profound Sound Pavilion naturally wouldn’t waste resources exploring the depths of the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea.

The deeper you go, the denser the Yin energy becomes, and the higher the chance of encountering powerful Yin Spirits.

"I see."

"If Mr. Lin needs it, the sect’s Sea Map can be given to you."

Facing Fairy Ni Chang’s kindness, Lin Chang’an shook his head with a smile, then explained what he needed.

Upon hearing that Lin Chang’an wasn’t hunting the Yin Spirit Beast King, Fairy Ni Chang breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, with the current conflict between the Profound Sound Pavilion and the Four Seas Commerce Association, if Lin Chang’an, a middle-stage Core Formation cultivator, were to meet a mishap,

it would mean significant loss for the sect.

In the cave residence where Ni Chang resides, the two discussed over tea.

A few days later, Lin Chang’an finally left.

Meanwhile, Fairy Ni Chang has been in the Core Formation Middle Stage for quite some time and might soon breakthrough.

...

"Master!"

Outside the cave residence on Celestial Spring Peak, Sword Servant greeted with cupped hands, as Lin Chang’an had finished preparing.

"Cultivate well."

Yet again, Lin Chang’an left behind a light remark, leaving her in the cave residence for secluded cultivation.

His figure disappeared from view, and at this moment, Sword Servant showed a stubborn expression, declaring with gritted teeth and a deep voice:

"Core Formation! I must reach Core Formation so I won’t have to stay behind guarding the cave residence."

...

Just as Lin Chang’an was leaving Five Dragons Island, a couple from the Red Fire Sect, emerging from the Four Seas Commerce Association, heard the news.

The couple’s faces turned somewhat unsightly.

"This Four Seas Commerce Association is really timid."

They originally wanted to drag the Four Seas Commerce Association into it, but who would have thought, hearing about taking on a middle-stage Core Formation cultivator,

everyone, without hesitation, chose to decline involvement.

This is one of the Four Seas Commerce Association’s flaws: while they can collaborate to earn spirit stones, creating trouble for no reason, not a single person steps forward.

"See, and you wonder why these people will never amount to more than this."

The middle-aged woman cultivator laughed scornfully, looking down on this group of cowardly cultivators.

"It’s just a pity, who would have thought this Lin Chang’an would head to the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea, and we missed an opportunity."

"Don’t worry, madam. The Outer Sea situation is chaotic, and there are plenty of greedy and bold Tribulation Cultivators and Demon Cultivators. Next time when he goes to Sea Abyss City, we mustn’t miss it."

After the Red Fire Sect couple exchanged glances, a hint of coldness washed over them.

Although the Red Fire Sect has a Nascent Soul elder, living in the Outer Sea, they’ve grown accustomed to the cycle of life and death.

In contrast, under the rule of Bihai Palace, the steady development felt somewhat uneasy to them.

In the Outer Sea, the Red Fire Sect’s style being classified as Demon Dao naturally makes sense.

...

By the time Lin Chang’an had flown to the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea, he was unaware that his sudden move to this place had inadvertently avoided a crisis.
