Chapter 531: Chapter 275: Planning the Lifebound Treasure
And there are arrays; the principle is the same. Therefore, for these tier-three skills, like other cultivators, he brushes up on experience through various insights.
Or perhaps, in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, once various skills reach a certain level, what’s required is the cultivator’s own comprehension and continuous enlightenment.
That is to say, besides researching on his own, he can also accelerate this process by leveraging some insights from predecessors.
"There is another troublesome point: the inheritance of these tier-three skills is hard to come by."
Lin Chang’an shook his head. As an Array Master, purchasing tier-three array inheritances and insights seems reasonable, but if he buys other tier-three skill inheritances,
it might indeed be somewhat troublesome.
"The Profound Sound Pavilion does have two tier-three talisman inheritances, but what a pity."
Although he was previously a tier-two upper-grade Talisman Master, breaking through to tier-three would also be reasonable, yet now he already has the cover of a tier-three Array Master.
So, it’s better to stay low-key in the path of talisman making.
All these years, he has kept an eye on Five Dragons Island and some outside information, and if there are any tier-three talismans or pill formulas, he certainly wouldn’t miss out.
If it’s arrays, he would confront directly; if it’s alchemy, he would send out his avatar, Wen Danshi.
For other things, he would conceal his identity and see if he could obtain them.
...
This day, just as Lin Chang’an came out from his cave residence after daily cultivation, he noticed something unusual and couldn’t help but frown.
"What’s happened?"
He saw the Sword Servant standing respectfully to one side. Though she seemed fine, in front of a Core Formation cultivator, there was no hiding.
Her slightly pale complexion clearly showed she was injured.
"Master, when I went to the market to purchase cultivation materials, I encountered several tribulation cultivators who didn’t know better..."
After listening to the Sword Servant’s report, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but furrow his brows tightly.
It seems he underestimated this girl’s abilities.
The Celestial Spirit Sword Body is powerful; this time, she encountered three Foundation Establishment Tribulation Cultivators, one of whom was at the middle stage. Yet this girl managed to kill two and force one to flee.
But, after all, the Sword Servant is still only an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Just like what Zheng Hu said back then, in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, heaven-sent geniuses with Celestial Spirit Roots who meet premature ends are not few; talents who haven’t grown will remain mere potentials forever.
They are not truly strong.
"Here’s a healing elixir, don’t delay your cultivation."
"Thank you, Master!"
Though Lin Chang’an said not to delay her cultivation, the Sword Servant could not suppress a slight movement in her expression as she looked at the elixir in her hand.
If he were to use his mana, he could heal the Sword Servant’s injuries quickly.
But it’s always wise to play it safe; although the Sword Servant might be trustworthy, if someone with ill intentions noticed, he didn’t want to take that risk.
Moreover, this special healing elixir already contains a wisp of his pure mana, enough to restore her injuries.
It’s just a pity that this mana of his cannot be preserved for long; if only it could, it would be even better.
"Given your capabilities, facing three of the same tier, killing two and making the Foundation Establishment middle-stage cultivator flee is quite impressive."
Not just impressive, Lin Chang’an felt jittery just hearing the account.
Darn it! He spent tens of thousands of middle-grade Spirit Stones on this Sword Servant, not to mention the amount he invested over the years in her cultivation.
If anything were to happen, he’d suffer a massive loss.
Moreover, he had gotten used to the Sword Servant over the years.
She is also vital to his Immortal Dao; an enemy blocking his path is irreconcilable!
"Please forgive me, Master, I have embarrassed you!"
Seeing the Sword Servant looking apologetic, Lin Chang’an was speechless.
Back in his early Foundation Establishment stage, he wasn’t even as strong as the Sword Servant when facing an opponent head-on.
However, the Sword Servant now only has two spiritual artifacts and they are still ordinary. This made Lin Chang’an ponder that he needs to equip this girl with more life-saving methods.
"There will be a trade fair and auction in the market in some time; you will accompany me there."
"Yes, Master!"
Lin Chang’an shook his head, realizing he needs to procure a couple of suitable top-grade spiritual artifacts for this girl.
"Also, this Talisman Treasure, which was my protective treasure during my Foundation Establishment stage, I grant it to you for your protection,"
After some deliberation, Lin Chang’an bestowed the Blood Evil Sword Talisman Treasure, which he had crafted back then, to the Sword Servant. After all, she was a meticulously cultivated subordinate. freewebnovel.cσ๓
The Celestial Spirit Sword Body would provide even greater assistance after Core Formation.
Considering it relates to his Nascent Soul, a single Talisman Treasure isn’t much.
Now that he is a Core Formation cultivator, the Talisman Treasure’s effect is already minimal.
However, for the Sword Servant, this Talisman Treasure equaled a powerful blow. At this moment, she seldom showed a look of shock, staring dazedly at the Talisman Treasure in her hands.
"Sword... Qiu Ling’Er thanks Master for the bestowment!"
The Sword Servant took a deep breath and thanked Lin Chang’an using her real name.
Talisman Treasures, be it in the sects or large clans, are only awarded to those considered Core Formation Seeds.
At this moment, becoming the master’s furnace wasn’t an entirely unacceptable thought.
However, Lin Chang’an, with a calm expression, came to the pavilion and saw the Cyan-Horned Bull still soaking in the pool of sweat, which made him shake his head.
If he didn’t know this clumsy bull was in a stage of bloodline mutation, he would have certainly given it a couple of kicks.
In this world, where else would there be a master running around busily while the spiritual pet, also serving as a mount, lazes around in daily slumber?
As Lin Chang’an sat in the pavilion, the Sword Servant had already stowed away the Talisman Treasure, respectfully stepping forward to skillfully brew Spirit Tea.
"Has anything else happened recently?"
Upon hearing this, the Sword Servant’s eyebrows showed a rare touch of anger, speaking in a deep voice:
"Master, there have been recent rumors that the Core Formation cultivator Zheng Hu, whom you slew back then, has joined the Tribulation Cultivators of the Li Huo Palace in Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea.
He declared that he and the Profound Sound Pavilion would never spare any merchant ships associated with you or the Profound Sound Pavilion, in retaliation for the killing of their Elder from the Li Huo Palace..."
