Blood Slaughter Red Sun Array
"Master!"
The Sword Servant panted heavily; having just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, the use of the Talisman Treasure was still a great drain on her mana.
Fortunately, within the array, she had the Fire-Devouring Demon Spirit to restrain them, otherwise, even with the Talisman Treasure, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator like the Sword Servant would find it hard to deal with a Fake Pill Cultivator.
The opponent had underestimated the Sword Servant, a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator, even more so not expecting her to have a Talisman Treasure.
The battle ended quickly, as both were injured and unable to unleash their full strength.
Secondly, both were trapped within the array, eager to escape, naturally exposing weaknesses.
And, the opponent never anticipated that Lin Chang’an, a Loose Cultivator who had reached Core Formation, was also dual cultivating in body refining, and was at Tier Two Middle Stage.
Equivalent to a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage in body refining.
Dual cultivation in body and technique is rare, even among Major Sect disciples, not just due to resource issues. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
More importantly, cultivators aim to reach Core Formation, and are often short on time, making them unlikely to waste it on body refining.
With the element of surprise, the powerful strength of a Tier Two Middle Stage body refinement was akin to a humanoid demon beast, directly smashing the opponent at close range.
These years, Lin Chang’an had unexpectedly not lagged behind in body refining, aided by demonic qi in his cultivation.
"Not bad."
Seeing the Sword Servant rush over, Lin Chang’an showed a satisfied expression and praised her.
Though aided by the array and Talisman Treasure, the ability to remain calm in danger and seize the opportunity to launch an attack on the Fake Pill Cultivator was very satisfying to Lin Chang’an.
At the very least, the Sword Servant’s importance in his heart had risen, no longer just a simple Nascent Soul opportunity.
After all, for a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator to challenge a Fake Pill Cultivator, if unsuccessful, it would have been a desperate endeavor with most of her mana exhausted.
"It was all my fault for implicating the master!"
Upon arrival, the Sword Servant was full of remorse, believing it was her being targeted that dragged her master into action.
However, Lin Chang’an did not explain much but instead casually discarded the corpse in his hand.
Without a hint of movement, the roots of his Lifebound Spirit Plant had already been retracted into his body.
At the moment of smashing the opponent and grabbing the Golden Core, Lin Chang’an seized the opportunity to perform a memory retrieval.
This memory retrieval was akin to gaining the opponent’s extensive knowledge, yet it did not directly convey all of the opponent’s abilities.
Just like how some people can never pass a simple literary exam, while others can become top scholars, the principle is the same.
"I never expected that back then, the three Elders of the Divine Sword Sect fled with the Sect’s heritage, and these years hadn’t been in contact." ƒreewebɳovel.com
This person had hidden with the remnants of the Divine Sword Sect in the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea, and after his wife luckily formed a Fake Pill, they were always attempting to revive the Divine Sword Sect.
"The heritage of the Divine Sword Sect was divided into three, and these two have been hiding for years, once attempting to revive their Sect in the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea. Their resources are almost depleted now."
If it were any other Core Formation Cultivator, they might be concerned about the Divine Sword Sect’s heritage.
But what he was interested in was the centuries of accumulated texts from the Divine Sword Sect.
"Clean up the battlefield."
Lin Chang’an, with a calm demeanor, had earlier used the array to cover the appearance of the Phoenix Cry Bird.
The Sword Servant, with her Foundation Establishment level, couldn’t tell, only assuming it was a sudden assault by the array’s conjured Fire-Devouring Demon Spirit.
"Yes, master!"
As the battle concluded, Lin Chang’an gestured, and the fiery world within the array slowly dissipated, revealing the charred valley.
The storage bags and magical treasures of the two from the Divine Sword Sect were collected as well.
"Worthy of a Major Sect’s heritage, the magical treasures on these two are ample."
The haul of magical treasures alone made Lin Chang’an instantly wealthy, causing him to marvel.
No wonder, even after reaching Core Formation, some still become Tribulation Cultivators.
It’s truly a fast way to gain wealth.
Their treasure swords were one Tier Three Lower Grade and one Tier Three Middle Grade.
The golden net-shaped magical treasure was also a Tier Three Middle Grade magical treasure.
Their storage bags combined contained over forty thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones, along with numerous loose Talismans and materials.
Even the elixirs he recovered from Red Fire Peak earlier had now returned to their owner.
"Previously, others envied my ability to earn Spirit Stones, yet I only had a Blood Evil Sword Treasure to show off; I felt quite poor, but now I’ve suddenly acquired three more magical treasures."
Looking at his gains this time, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but nod in approval.
Moreover, the accumulation of texts from the Divine Sword Sect was the true heritage of any sect.
While the Sword Servant cleaned the battlefield, Lin Chang’an silently read the memory of the Core Formation Female Cultivator.
Even with his Core Formation Middle Stage Divine Sense, probing into the memories of two Core Formation Cultivators in succession made him feel fatigued.
"Mr. Lin!"
At the same time, reinforcements from the Profound Sound Pavilion arrived outside the array.
This time, Fairy Ni Chang and Liu Ruyu personally came, indicating their heavy concern.
As the array opened, the two were surprised by the scene within.
"Two fellow Taoists."
Lin Chang’an dispelled the array and cupped his hands to the two, his eyebrows betraying his fatigue, and his appearance somewhat disheveled.
"I didn’t expect someone reckless enough to target my maid; they’ve been slain by me."
Lin Chang’an did not mention that the two were from the Divine Sword Sect.
After all, there were still remnants of the Divine Sword Sect outside, tearing this open could lead to having to guard against hidden enemies.
Moreover, who amongst them wouldn’t question whether he had obtained the hundreds of years of accumulation from the Divine Sword Sect?
Such concerns were troublesome.
