Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Chapter 657: Chapter 326: Yin Spirit Ship

"Awoo..." The double-headed tiger reluctantly rubbed against the Cyan-Horned Bull, as if saying farewell.

But this scene made Lin Chang’an’s eyelids twitch. If he couldn’t sense the thoughts of the clumsy bull, he might have believed this cow.

This bull clearly felt its little brother was gone, and from now on, it would be left alone to be bullied by the Phoenix Cry Bird.

There used to be a double-headed tiger too.

"Alright, although the magical treasure inside you has a sliver of my divine sense, now that you’ve also awakened your spiritual intelligence, I generally won’t control you with this trace of divine sense."

If it were the former Yin Spirit Beast King, with muddled intelligence, he naturally needed to rely on his trace of divine sense to control it.

But it’s different now. With newly awakened intelligence, if he continued to do so, it could easily provoke an instinctual resistance from the spirit pet.

Therefore, in the coming days, this trace of divine sense would only sense danger to give reminders and record the sea territory map of exploration.

"Roar!"

As they left the island, a reluctant tiger roar came from behind, prompting Lin Chang’an to sigh softly.

Although it initially was just an ordinary yin spirit and he didn’t pay much attention.

But after five years of daily purification, the double-headed tiger yin spirit had become like a pet, growing from ignorance to newly awakened intelligence.

Just like a guard dog raised in a mortal’s household, there was naturally a bit of reluctance.

"Silly tiger, remember to sneak a Yin Spirit Demon Pill or two if you get the chance; that way, your strength will grow faster."

Even the Phoenix Cry Bird couldn’t help but advise the double-headed tiger on how to quickly improve its strength before leaving.

And the Cyan-Horned Bull let out a low moo.

At the serene Celestial Spring Peak, the three spirit pets were each other’s only playmates.

"Don’t worry, here your cultivation speed can be faster."

Looking at his other two spirit pets, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but reassure them.

"Moreover, the next time we come, the more Yin Spirit Beast King nests we discover, the more demon cores we obtain, then you and the double-headed tiger can grow even faster."

Under Lin Chang’an’s sweet promise, the Phoenix Cry Bird’s eyes immediately brightened.

...

Lin Chang’an did not immediately return but chose to continue going deeper. As for here, it was naturally left for the double-headed tiger to explore slowly.

As he ventured deeper, Tier Three Late Stage Yin Spirit Beast Kings were hard to find, but Tier Three Early and Middle Stage ones were relatively easier to encounter.

But danger followed, with various gigantic sea beasts frequently appearing in the frigid sea.

Some sea beasts even took advantage of the storm to hide within the clouds.

There’s no denying this deeper exploration truly broadened Lin Chang’an’s horizons.

Half a year later, just as Lin Chang’an was preparing to return, he encountered a Yin Spirit Ship.

"Master, look!"

The Phoenix Cry Bird on his shoulder, unusually wide-eyed, and Lin Chang’an also showed a look of shock.

Amidst the misty clouds, a spirit ship filled with a putrid aura slowly sailed on the sea.

"Yin Spirit Ship!"

The moment he saw it, Lin Chang’an’s mind involuntarily conjured up information regarding it.

Legend says there are many tribulation cultivators in the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea who live by looting, offending too many people, and thus hiding deep in the Mist Sea.

Besides Yin Spirits and sea beasts, the most terrifying thing in the Mist Sea is natural disasters.

Some tribulation cultivators’ spirit ships, when sunk to the sea bottom by a natural disaster, under great resentment and suitable conditions, would transform into Yin Spirit Ships and resurface after a hundred years.

And the Yin Spirits on the ship are what the cultivators on this spirit ship became in life, transforming into Yin Spirits due to their unrelenting resentment after death.

"To think I’d encounter such a rare thing!"

They say those who stand by the river often get their shoes wet; today, Lin Chang’an had a stroke of luck.

He couldn’t help but smile.

"It’s said that these Yin Spirit Ships, reborn amidst endless resentment, retain their greatest desires from life and continue to loot."

This means each Yin Spirit Ship holds significant resources.

"Judging by this aura, the strongest is just a Tier Three Middle Stage Yin Spirit."

After sensing from afar, Lin Chang’an smiled.

For an ordinary merchant ship, it might be a catastrophe; even typical cultivators wouldn’t want to encounter such a thing.

Because these Yin Spirit Ships, perhaps due to a curse, make the Yin Spirits and the ship inseparably linked.

However, these Yin Spirit Ships have terrifying array defenses.

"Isn’t this a coincidence? I’m a Tier Three Array Master, and no one understands array weaknesses better than an Array Master, and I happen to have another identity, a Tier Three Talisman Master."

With a smile on his face, Lin Chang’an took out a few Tier Three Middle Grade Forbidden-Breaking Talismans from his storage bag.

The Yin Spirit Ship sailing through the waves was filled with humanoid Yin Spirits, each with a ferocious look and endless greed in their eyes.

Each throat emitted a hoarse sound.

Hiding in the clouds, Lin Chang’an followed the ship for two days, only then did he completely observe all of the ship’s arrays.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but genuinely appreciate that studying proves worthwhile.

Whether it was information on the Yin Spirit Ships or understanding of the arrays, it all stemmed from years of diligent study.

"The array defense of this spirit ship is weakest on the left side here."

Lin Chang’an squinted his eyes and smiled calmly. Then the Tier Three Forbidden-Breaking Talismans in his hand turned into beams of golden light, piercing through the clouds directly towards the Yin Spirit Ship.

"Roar!"

As Lin Chang’an’s talismans initiated the attack, he naturally became exposed, causing all the Yin Spirits on the ship to reveal ferocious expressions and roar in anger.
