Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Profound Celestial Undying Immortal Vine Withered Leaves
Inside the cave abode.
"How could it be!"
After cultivating the "Evergreen Skill," Lin Chang’an could clearly feel the mana within his body, infused with a vibrant lifeforce.
The energy veins were long, and even with the nourishnt from the Lifebound Spirit Plant, his body was filled with vitality.
However! At this mont, a sense of ntal fatigue was evident between Lin Chang’an’s brows, his eye bags faintly blue, while his Lifebound Spirit Plant appeared full and lazy, swirling around in the Dantian.
[Cultivation Technique: Evergreen Skill (Beginner: 1/100)]
[Life Span: 54/205]
The cultivation technique section proved that he had successfully cultivated, but Lin Chang’an didn’t know how to describe his feelings regarding his life span section.
"Self-healing, injury recovery, immune to all poisons, extrely strong restoration. This Self-Healing Body seems even stronger than recorded, yet cultivating this Lifebound Spirit Plant made
lose so much!"
The previously withered Lifebound Spirit Plant now exuded a primitive green glow, with a fine white root erging and embedding itself in the Dantian.
This was the result of devouring thirty-one years of his life span.
"Profound Celestial Undying Immortal Vine Withered Leaves!?"
When this Spirit Plant revitalized, the information he received in his mind was minimal, making Lin Chang’an sowhat amazed.
In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, it’s said that objects birthed alongside the world opening, treasures truly obtainable only by Immortals, were given the title of ’Profound Celestial.’
It was unexpected to find such a treasure within the Ancient Cultivator’s Secret Realm, surprising Lin Chang’an while also imagining that the Profound Sound Pavilion and Li Huo Palace must have found other good things.
"After cultivating the Lifebound Spirit Plant, it requires long-term nourishnt with Spirit Liquid, the more powerful the Lifebound Spirit Plant, the more it nourishes its host."
Lin Chang’an felt complicated at this mont, he gambled right on this Lifebound Spirit Plant, perhaps in the future, he could truly beco an Immortal.
But equally, the difficulty in nurturing the Lifebound Spirit Plant was also infinitely raised, after all, this wasn’t an ordinary Spirit Plant.
By now, Lin Chang’an could only comfort himself.
Though it consud thirty-one years of his life, the benefits were great.
Just initially cultivating it, at the Foundation Establishnt Stage, his Self-Healing Body reached the Arm Regeneration Realm, with extrely resilient life force.
Ordinary injuries could be restored instantly, in Magical Combat with others, recovery was swift, whether in terms of injuries or mana.
"So, my physique is now stronger than the Cyan-Horned Bull."
At least a Cyan-Horned Bull couldn’t regrow a hoof once chopped off, yet he could slowly regenerate.
"But nurturing this Profound Celestial Immortal Vine Withered Leaves requires highly demanding requirents."
Now, this ’Profound Celestial Undying Immortal Vine’ Withered Leaves has beco his Lifebound Spirit Plant, after completing cultivation, their lifelines are intertwined.
Through dual cultivation of life, he could clearly feel the Lifebound Spirit Plant emitting a faint lifeforce, needing abundant Spirit Liquid irrigation.
With just the faint feedback of the withered leaves, it was so powerful, imagine if the entire leaf could be revived, how much more incredible that would be.
"Spirit Liquid is only found in the Eye of the Spirit Spring within high-level Spirit Veins, in the entire Yue Kingdom, only the Three Major Sects and Celestial Profound City have it, each bottle valued at a Hundred Spirit Stones, and the high-grade ones can reach thousands."
Lin Chang’an frowned secretly, as the Spirit Liquid is monopolized by the Three Major Sects and powerful forces, he could only find ways to earn Spirit Stones.
Before Foundation Establishnt, he painted Talismans daily to earn Spirit Stones for cultivation resources exchange.
After Foundation Establishnt, not only did he need to continually earn cultivation resources, but he also had to find ways to earn more Spirit Stones to nurture this Lifebound Spirit Plant.
"At least, it’s not a wasted Foundation Establishnt, at least I have the assurance of strength." Lin Chang’an comforted himself.
...
With Lin Chang’an’s Foundation Establishnt, various forces sent visiting cards.
Foundation Establishnt Cultivators are regarded as vital forces, especially now when the Yue Kingdom’s situation is turbulent, the Three Major Sects need excellent cannon fodder.
And so Foundation Establishnt Clans wanted to invite him to beco an in-house Tributor, enjoying the ancestors’ resources.
"This is the benefit brought by strength, huh!"
Looking at the pile of invitations, Lin Chang’an pondered, excluding the Three Major Sects.
Not that the conditions weren’t good, they were too good, but they weren’t given freely, joining was easy, but leaving would be hard.
Especially fearing that the war would further escalate, leading his na onto the Divine Sword Sect’s bounty list.
"Apart from the Three Major Sects, other Foundation Establishnt Clans range from strong to weak, but none can provide better cultivation resources, regardless of claiming to have shapely young ladies willing to beco concubines."
Seeing this chaotic pile of temptation, Lin Chang’an shook his head, was he that kind of person?
Under the current conditions of the Yue Kingdom, coupled with his Lifebound Spirit Plant’s urgent need for nourishnt, he now has no mind to enjoy.
Now, he only desires to earn Spirit Stones! Not having leisure to seek so seductive concubine.
"Right now, the only ones providing Tier Two Talisman inheritance are the Three Major Sects and Celestial Profound City, other Foundation Establishnt Clans lack the depth."
Shaking his head, Lin Chang’an’s preference leaned towards Celestial Profound City.
There’s no choice, as high-level inherited skills and resources are monopolized by the Three Major Sects and Celestial Profound City.
As Lin Chang’an pondered, the first person to arrive was not soone from the Zhou Family, but rather Yun Yao.
...
"Mr. Lin."
Lin Chang’an was sowhat surprised by Yun Yao’s visit, and secretly thought to himself that maybe she wanted to recruit him into the Li Huo Palace.
After all, even within a major sect, there are varying ranks, and for soone like Yun Yao to recruit a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator to strengthen her own power wouldn’t be unusual.
However, once inside the cave dwelling, Yun Yao’s next words left Lin Chang’an at a loss, his face filled with astonishnt.
"Mr. Lin, our situation has been exposed."
"What!"
Seeing Yun Yao’s grave expression, Lin Chang’an’s face was full of surprise. When did this happen?
Don’t speak nonsense!
When did anything ever happen between them!
Seeing Lin Chang’an’s astonished expression, Yun Yao seed to realize sothing but, being decisive by nature, she shook her head and explained the specific incident.
"It’s about the Foundation Establishnt Pill from before!"
As Yun Yao explained, Lin Chang’an finally understood. It turned out that when Yun Yao helped him refine the Foundation Establishnt Pill, it was discovered by Huang Yuntian and his son.
They intended to investigate him through her, clearly coveting that premium Foundation Establishnt Pill.
"Mr. Yun, you’re saying that during the refining of the Foundation Establishnt Pill..."
Lin Chang’an was speechless. He had thought he was overly cautious, but it turned out that soone did have that intention.
"Yes!"
Yun Yao nodded silently, and Lin Chang’an, after so thought, frowned suspiciously and said:
"Mr. Yun, after I broke through to Foundation Establishnt, I seed to hear that Huang Shaohai also reached Foundation Establishnt. Even though he had that intention before, it shouldn’t be the case now, right?"
Even if that person is narrow-minded, it doesn’t make sense for him to still seek revenge now; shouldn’t he be celebrating his own Foundation Establishnt?
Yet, a rare look of helplessness appeared on Yun Yao’s cold face as she shook her head and said:
"If it were a normal Foundation Establishnt, it would be fine."
"There is a secret technique within the sect known as the ’Foundation Stealing Technique.’ Huang Shaohai failed to consu the Foundation Establishnt Pill successfully and used this secret technique for Foundation Establishnt. However, the two are completely different.
The lifespan of a cultivator using the Foundation Stealing Technique is only about 150 years, and their potential is greatly reduced. Without a great opportunity, it’s unlikely they will ever reach Core Formation."
As Yun Yao narrated, Lin Chang’an fell into deep silence.
He had carefully prepared materials all along, fearing being targeted, and had even entrusted Yun Yao to refine the Foundation Establishnt Pill.
Little did he know that his caution would actually attract trouble.
The saying was true, weakness is indeed the original sin.
"Huang Shaohai wouldn’t dare act within Celestial Profound City, right? And can those father and son remain in the city indefinitely?"
Lin Chang’an frowned, feeling quite troubled. He couldn’t afford to provoke the Huang Family father and son right now.
And from Yun Yao’s words, it seed she didn’t want him to join Li Huo Palace.
"That’s unlikely, and there’s a loose cultivator even more unfortunate than you."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chang’an was astonished, but Yun Yao’s subsequent words left him speechless.
"One of Huang Shaohai’s two Foundation Establishnt Pills was forcibly traded for a poor quality one with a loose cultivator, who also managed to reach Foundation Establishnt."
At this point, Yun Yao let out a schadenfreude-filled cold laugh, as if Huang Shaohai truly deserved it.
However, that loose cultivator was quite unlucky, having been forced to trade the Foundation Establishnt Pill, yet fortunately reaching Foundation Establishnt, which should have been a good thing.
But because Huang Shaohai didn’t establish his foundation normally, he harbored resentnt, mainly against that loose cultivator.
He believed it was trading away his foundation that caused his luck to be stolen.
The notion of luck is vague, but it is not without believers in the cultivation world.
"In any case, Mr. Lin, be cautious these days; try not to leave the city lightly. More importantly, since you are already a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, it’s ti to make a decision."
At this point, Yun Yao’s gaze unintentionally flicked to the invitations on the table.
There wasn’t much need for speculation; the aning was clear.
"I understand. If I had to choose, Celestial Profound City might be suitable."
Lin Chang’an had already favored Celestial Profound City in his heart, and with the circumstances and matters at play, there was naturally no hesitation.
"Actually, Mr. Lin doesn’t have to worry too much. The situation at the frontlines is tense, and Huang Shaohai’s potential is greatly reduced after using the Foundation Stealing Technique; he’ll inevitably be dispatched to the frontlines eventually."
Goodness, that is quite realistic.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chang’an’s eye twitched; he could only think, as expected of a major sect, where survival of the fittest prevails.
