Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Chapter 616: Chapter 309: No Nascent Soul, Golden Core Reigns

Since the great battle between the Sixth Elder of Bihai Palace and the old demon Xuanyin, it has been rumored that the Nascent Soul cultivators have a private agreement.

This time, in the Secret Realm of the Yin Soul Sect, no Nascent Soul cultivators from any major force will be dispatched.

One reason is to avoid war between the parties, and another is that the combat power of the Nascent Soul cultivators is too terrifying. If they inadvertently trigger the restrictions, it could activate the undersea geothermal fires connected to the Secret Realm.

By then, no one would be able to obtain this Secret Realm.

No Nascent Soul, Golden Core reigns supreme.

Whether greedy or determined in their Dao heart, each Golden Core cultivator seeks that sliver of opportunity.

Some seek that trace of Nascent Soul opportunity, while many Foundation Establishment cultivators seek the Core Formation opportunity.

The myriad beings of the Immortal Cultivation Realm are no different from the commoners of the Mortal Realm.

...

[Lifespan: 192/607]

[Realm: Core Golden Early Stage (75/100)]

Inside Celestial Spring Peak, observing the growth in cultivation over the past three years, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but nod secretly.

"This jewel containing Pure Spiritual Qi is indeed extraordinary, in just three short years, it actually increased my cultivation significantly."

Playing with the jewel in his palm, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but show a look of satisfaction.

At his current cultivation speed, with two experience points per year, seven points increased in three years, there is no doubt that this one point increase is due to the jewel’s enhancement.

At first glance, the effect of a one-point cultivation gain over three years may not seem significant, but in the long run, it was well worth the trade he made last time with that Tier Three Heavenly Fire Formation.

Even though he knew that as his cultivation continued to grow, this effect would gradually weaken, it’s clear that right now he has gained from it.

"Such a precious item, if placed in a family or sect, would definitely be regarded as a treasured heirloom of the sect."

Lin Chang’an sighed inwardly, as the woman in the trade had mentioned, if she had even one or two descendants, she would never have traded this item.

"For a Loose Cultivator, though the journey is arduous, when reaching the end of their life, they might realize they’re alone on the path of cultivation, making all treasures they possess seem like a joke."

Lin Chang’an shook his head and sighed lightly, understanding the mindset of that fellow cultivator.

Although this item is weighty in value, it’s better to exchange it early for something more useful to oneself than to let it sit in the hands of another.

"However, according to what this person said, this item, even if it assists in cultivation, shouldn’t have such a large effect. Though over the past three years, it’s not just me.

The amplifying effect on the sword servant cultivating alongside me was even more significant..."

At this thought, Lin Chang’an’s eyes flickered, and his mind couldn’t help but recall various details of his cultivation over the last three years.

In the end, he recalled that although the sword servant uses it for cultivation normally, when engaging in dual cultivation with him, after he operated this Ancient Cultivation Technique.

The effect sped up significantly.

"According to the records of this Ancient Cultivation Technique, the sections on body, law, and spirit are entirely prepared for cultivating the ’Profound Celestial Spirit Body’.

So it seems that it is this Profound Celestial Spiritual Qi that has enhanced the effect of the Spirit Jade."

Regarding this point, Lin Chang’an wasn’t too surprised.

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, there are some treasures that greatly amplify certain attribute cultivation techniques and even cause chain reactions.

For instance, as in the legendary Wood Spirit Pearl, when cultivators use it while practicing top-level Wood Attribute Techniques, the power of this treasure can be maximized.

"The companion of the Spiritual Spring Jade, this Pure Spiritual Qi naturally complements Wood Attribute Spiritual Qi, not to mention my top-level technique, it’s normal to have such marvelous effects."

In the pavilion, while Lin Chang’an was pondering if he could use a suitable artifact refining method in the future to perhaps forge a remarkable auxiliary magical treasure out of this Spirit Jade.

Outside the barrier, as light flickered, the sword servant walked in with a solemn demeanor.

"Moo!"

As the sword servant crossed the barrier, the Cyan-Horned Bull soaking in the pond let out a mooing sound, appearing greedy.

The sword servant habitually retrieved two Spirit Fruits from the Storage Bag, casually throwing them over with the Exorcism Technique, while striding steadily to the pavilion.

"Master!"

"Didn’t I send you to the Profound Sound Pavilion to fetch some materials? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Looking at the sword servant, Lin Chang’an was somewhat puzzled.

Normally, whenever he sends the sword servant to the Profound Sound Pavilion to fetch materials or arrange affairs.

Many cultivators in the sect would seek favor with this sword servant, taking at least half a day before the sword servant could return.

This time, it was just one hour, and the sword servant returned with such a serious expression, indicating something had happened.

"Master, Elder Xu led a team to explore the Secret Realm and encountered misfortune, resulting in heavy casualties, and he himself was severely injured, nearly perishing within..."

Listening to the sword servant’s grave report of the sect’s situation, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but be shocked.

Half a year ago, the restrictions in the Secret Realm had weakened enough for Core Formation Early Stage cultivators to enter.

Given the destructive power of Golden Core cultivators, within the next two to three years, even Core Formation Late Stage cultivators could enter.

Unexpectedly, Xu Lingfeng was injured.

However, upon reflection, he understood that there is risk in seeking wealth and fortune, and fortunes can also be lost in those risks.

This saying is always a timeless truth.

Xu Lingfeng is bold and aggressive, unafraid of challenges, which isn’t a mistake, but not everyone can rely on good fortune indefinitely.

"Injured."

"Elder Liu mentioned that they encountered demonic cultivators in the Secret Realm, leading to conflict. Elder Xu was seriously injured, and the opponent didn’t fare well either..."

Listening to the sword servant, Lin Chang’an shook his head.

"Surviving and returning is fortune enough."

Were it not for Xu Lingfeng being one of the Core Formation Elders of the Profound Sound Pavilion, Lin Chang’an wouldn’t have felt inclined to inquire further.

After all, the loss of a Core Formation Elder would significantly impact the Profound Sound Pavilion.

Just at this moment, the Sound Transmission Jade Talisman from Fairy Ni Chang of the Profound Sound Pavilion in Lin Chang’an’s bosom began to flicker, and as he raised his hand, the jade talisman floated before him.
