Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Chapter 656: Chapter 326: Yin Spirit Ship

"Master."

The Phoenix Cry Bird joyfully carried a Tier Three Late Stage Yin Spirit Demon Core over.

However, Lin Chang’an saw through the bird’s sly intentions and remarked with a teasing smile:

"Where’s the other one!?"

"Master!" Upon realizing its little scheme was exposed, the Phoenix Cry Bird looked pitiful and reluctantly spat out a Tier Three Early Stage Yin Spirit Demon Core.

Initially, it thought its master would disregard the low-tier core upon seeing the Tier Three Late Stage one.

"Moo!"

At this moment, the Cyan-Horned Bull, accompanied by the two-headed tiger, approached. After witnessing the Phoenix Cry Bird’s sly antics getting caught, the bull let out a gloating moo.

"You stupid bull!"

The Phoenix Cry Bird glared at the Cyan-Horned Bull, but the bull paid no heed and directly came before Lin Chang’an, displaying a flattering expression, and spat out a Tier Three Middle Stage Demon Core from its mouth.

The two-headed tiger, with its tail tucked, hid at the back, its large eyes showing an instinctive fear upon seeing the Phoenix Cry Bird.

As if it had encountered a natural enemy.

"This time, the harvest is not bad."

Gazing at the Yin Spring Spirit Vein here, Lin Chang’an’s eyes flickered with contemplation.

"The spiritual energy here is dense, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been occupied by this Tier Three Late Stage Yin Spirit Beast King, and the accompanying items and spiritual objects within the spring have also been taken away."

Meaning, in the eyes of the people earlier, besides the other dangerous Yin Spirit Beast King considered not very valuable among the same tier, there was nothing else of worth.

"This place has already gone deep into the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea, and the Yin energy is extremely dense, making it an excellent place for cultivation."

With this in mind, Lin Chang’an’s gaze naturally shifted to the two-headed tiger, his spirit pet.

Now he has three spirit pets, but with Celestial Spring Peak and Red Fire Peak, the spiritual energy is evidently not as abundant as before.

After all, he is at the Core Formation Middle Stage, the Phoenix Cry Bird is at Tier Three Middle Stage, and there’s also a Tier Three Early Stage Cyan-Horned Bull.

Adding another Tier Three two-headed tiger, the spiritual energy over the years is noticeably less than before.

"You will stay here from now on."

Lin Chang’an stepped forward and stroked the two-headed tiger’s Yin Spirit Beast King, which, having gained intelligence, showed affection and squinted its eyes, enjoying the touch.

Lin Chang’an had long been purifying and slowly awakening its intelligence, making it naturally more attached to him.

"Alright, besides, Celestial Spring Peak isn’t suitable for your cultivation, but here, the dense Yin energy offers twice the result with half the effort, and I have tasks for you to accomplish."

Lin Chang’an raised his hand, and an array appeared from within the storage bag.

The sharp array flags swiftly planted around the Spirit Vein on the island, binding the center’s spiritual energy tightly.

From the outside, the previously Yin energy-dense island appeared significantly thinner in an instant.

"With this setup, no one will target this island anymore, and with the protection of the array, if something goes wrong, you can retreat."

Flickering with light in his eyes, Lin Chang’an had long planned to raise the two-headed tiger.

Firstly, cultivating in the Yin energy-rich area of the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea speeds up growth, and secondly, the two-headed tiger can familiarize itself with the surrounding sea areas now and then.

In essence, it’s to find other Yin Spirit Beast King nests so that when he returns in the future, he won’t have to waste time searching for each one.

Having the two-headed tiger lead the way would save him a lot of time.

It’s a complete win-win.

Moreover, within the two-headed tiger’s body lies a treasure carrying a strand of his divine sense, capable of sensing and avoiding danger competently.

This way, there’s no fear of encountering danger easily.

"Roar..."

Through the divine sense connection, knowing its master wants to raise it, the two-headed tiger showed a reluctant expression.

For it, having barely gained wisdom for just a few years, it’s akin to a domesticated dog’s intelligence in humans.

It naturally finds it hard to part with home and its master.

"Alright, if you encounter any danger or get injured, hide back here, and if it gets too much, just hide away."

To soothe the two-headed tiger, Lin Chang’an, also unwilling to lose this way-finding tiger he painstakingly cultivated, hesitated then retrieved a magical treasure from the storage bag.

Magical Treasure · Water Spirit Pearl

Tier Three Lower Grade Defensive Treasure, originally given to him by a cultivator surnamed Li using his Tier Three Copper Armor Corpse.

"Alright, I’ll give you this water-attributed magical treasure."

Water attributes and Yin attributes are quite compatible without conflict, and the Phoenix Cry Bird nearby stared wide-eyed, astonished that its master would even give a Yin Spirit a magical treasure.

They haven’t even received one yet.

"Alright, don’t worry, once the two-headed tiger maps out this sea area, finding dozens of Yin Spirit Beast nests, your magical treasures, and even cultivation resources will be available."

Lin Chang’an reassured them, leading the Phoenix Cry Bird’s eyes to shine bright with realization of its master’s plan.

It becomes apparent that searching alone is time-consuming and laborious, but it’s different with the two-headed tiger.

As a Yin Spirit itself, traversing the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea is like returning home, driven by instinct to find spirit islands rich with Yin energy.

As a guide, they won’t have to search like a needle in a haystack next time they’re here.

"Do your best," said Lin Chang’an.

In the next moment, the Phoenix Cry Bird peered at the two-headed tiger with clear satisfaction in its bird eyes.

Landing on the two-headed tiger, it reached a wing out to pat its head, adopting an air of taking in a protege.

This action left the two-headed tiger stunned, surprised that this terrifying bird could show such gentle demeanor.

"Moo Moo!"

The Cyan-Horned Bull, on the other hand, moved forth with reluctance, rubbing against the other’s fur, evidently unwilling to part.
