Chapter 519: Chapter 271: Seeking Fairy Ni Chang to Prepare for Pill Formation

Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea.

On an island shrouded in Yin energy, under the cover of an array barrier, mist enveloped the air, leaving a deathly silence, making it impossible to discern what had happened.

Tier Three Array · Blood Slaughter Red Sun Array

Now in Lin Chang’an’s hands, this array has been upgraded in materials, capable of displaying the power of a Tier Three Middle Grade.

Meanwhile, within the array, the sword servant breathed heavily, yet continued to control sword aura to attack the Yin spirits surrounding them.

"Moo!"

The Cyan-Horned Bull roared in anger, coordinating with the sword servant to clear out the surrounding Yin spirits.

Watching this scene from afar on a cliff, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but marvel:

"Even though it’s not the first time I’ve seen it, the Celestial Spirit Sword Body truly defies reason; no wonder it is one of the three great sword spirit bodies that can rival the Celestial Spirit Root."

The Sword Dao cultivation advanced at breakneck speed, and even among those at the same level, Lin Chang’an could clearly feel that the sword aura released by the Celestial Spirit Sword Body was thirty percent more powerful than his own.

Lin Chang’an nodded secretly, having been in the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea for almost a year.

[Life Span: 152/600]

[Realm: Core Golden Early Stage(9/100)]

The growth of the sword servant was also evident to him; the sword aura filled with evil energy was always backlashing against him.

Yet before the Celestial Spirit Sword Body, it was controlled as easily as manipulating normal mana.

Additionally, the sword servant’s combat methods made it seem as if they were a born sword cultivator.

"Is this what a genius is!"

If not for his body having greater potential for self-healing, Lin Chang’an would have been envious.

"Master."

At that moment, a flash of golden light shimmered, rippling as it passed through the barrier and landed on his shoulder.

The Phoenix Cry Bird, excitedly, placed a Tier Three Lower Grade Yin Spirit Demon Pill into Lin Chang’an’s hand.

"Not bad, another Tier Three Lower Grade Yin Spirit Demon Pill."

Lin Chang’an nodded in satisfaction, having learned from his previous mistake, ensuring no trace of the Phoenix Cry Bird would be left behind this time.

Under his meticulous control, two layers of barriers were set in the Blood Slaughter Red Sun Array.

The inner array barrier trapped and killed the Yin Spirit Beast King while concealing itself, not even the sword servant knew what lay within.

The outer barrier trapped and killed ordinary Yin spirits.

Thus, the sword servant accompanying Lin Chang’an in hunting Yin spirits and collecting spiritual objects for the Golden Core remained unaware of what transpired within the inner barrier.

Only Lin Chang’an knew that after each battle ended, he would use the Blood Slaughter Red Sun Array to erase any trace or presence of the Phoenix Cry Bird.

"Master, there’s only this much Profound Water Liquid inside."

Soon after, the Phoenix Cry Bird spat out a jade bottle, and seeing the meager collection of Profound Water Liquid, Lin Chang’an still nodded in satisfaction.

"Having some is good."

Turning to look at the ongoing battle in the distance, Lin Chang’an repeatedly nodded in approval.

As the battle concluded, the Cyan-Horned Bull snorted, its crimson eyes viciously glaring at the fading Yin spirits.

Though the danger had passed, its beastly instincts kept it vigilant.

Meanwhile, the sword servant, slightly out of breath, held its long sword, coldly scanning the surroundings.

"Not bad, after a year, you’ve become a genuine Foundation Establishment Cultivator."

A flash of green light, and Lin Chang’an appeared on the back of the Cyan-Horned Bull, which immediately bellowed with a pleased expression.

In the face of Lin Chang’an’s praise, the sword servant respectfully sheathed the long sword and cupped their hands, saying:

"Sword servant owes everything to Master for reaching today."

Lin Chang’an nodded lightly, knowing that this sword servant awakened their bloodline after breaking through Foundation Establishment, and then they faltered, falling from the mountain peak into an abyss.

Thus, although the sword servant was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, they were unfamiliar with many basic spells and combat techniques of Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

After all, as a being treated as a commodity, no one would kindly train them in combat experience.

"We’ve been out for a year, it’s time to return."

Lin Chang’an chuckled lightly, pleased with the fruitful gains over the year, incomparable to the past.

Originally, he was just a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, but now he’s a Core Formation Cultivator.

Furthermore, he has two Fake Pill avatars, a Tier Three Phoenix Cry Bird, a Tier Three Middle Grade array, and enhanced perception to evade calamities and seek Yin Vein Spiritual Springs in the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea.

In one year, he collected enough Profound Water Liquid for Core Formation.

"This time, I’ve collected as much as three portions of Profound Water Liquid, along with several Tier Three Lower Grade Yin Spirit Demon Pills, sufficient for the upcoming Pill Formation preparations."

Lin Chang’an’s eyes glinted with determination, aware of his current priorities.

With his current arduous efforts, achieving less despite working harder.

He knew in the cultivation path, every moment counts, and while it might seem like some time was wasted preparing for Pill Formation,

once successful, cultivation would become twice as effective with half the effort.

Thinking of this, Lin Chang’an raised his hand, instantly storing the surrounding arrays into his storage bag, as the Yin spirits outside seemed to sense something.

Without the aura of a powerful Yin Spirit Beast King, they aimlessly headed towards the island’s Yin Vein Spiritual Spring.

"Going home, huh." The sword servant’s pupils rippled. At this moment, she surprisingly missed Celestial Spring Peak, feeling a subtle sense of belonging.

And Lin Chang’an, calmly riding the Cyan-Horned Bull, with the sword servant performing sword flight, slowly vanished on this bleak and desolate island.

...

Long Family.

"Mr. Long, the North Star Two Instruments Formation is finally set up."

After returning from the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea, Lin Chang’an spent several months recuperating in his cave dwelling, organizing the gains from this trip before bringing the array disc and flags to the Long Family.

He stayed at the Long Family for half a month, completing the array setup and repairing the arrays on the Tier Three Spiritual Ship.
