Chapter 513 - 268: The Second Profound Celestial Immortal Leaf

He once again set up a defense barrier, then began to activate his Cultivation Technique, summoning his Lifebound Spirit Plant.

The next moment, the withered leaf seemed attracted and slowly moved towards the Profound Celestial Immortal Vine.

Lin Chang’an activated his Cultivation Technique and began to refine this Profound Celestial Immortal Leaf, while it was also drawn by the Profound Celestial Immortal Vine, and the two began to combine.

Three days later, two leaves appeared on the stem of the Profound Celestial Immortal Vine, one vibrant green, filled with a powerful life essence.

The other was half withered and half green, clearly less vigorous than the other.

"It’s done!"

As Lin Chang’an took a deep breath and retracted his Lifebound Spirit Plant into his body, he also felt a nourishing force returning to him.

In comparison, although it was the icing on the cake, another Profound Celestial Immortal Leaf had been added in the end.

Not only was the life essence more intense, but more importantly, he had acquired an external incarnation, greatly increasing his strength.

During the same three days of refining his Lifebound Spirit Plant, his injuries fully recovered.

"And there’s this Body Refining Chapter that I’ll need to study more thoroughly when I return, and I need to wrap up everything else!"

With the cultivation completed, Lin Chang’an dismissed the defense barrier, his gaze flickering as he looked at Long Changqing’s corpse beside him.

He then proceeded to check the other items within the Storage Bag.

Indeed, as he expected, even Core Formation Seeds wouldn’t carry Core Formation Spiritual Objects with them.

Unless at the time of Core Formation, the family bestows a Core Formation Spiritual Object, but only after reaching the Core Formation Spirit Land.

How could it be carried around by someone?

Even the Profound Water Liquid he used as bait earlier wasn’t there, seemingly taken by the Fake Pill Cultivator.

This made Lin Chang’an shake his head, but fortunately, the loss was within an acceptable range.

"I hope there are useful memories."

He extended his hand to probe into Long Changqing’s memories.

With just a preliminary exploration, he frowned, finding restrictions.

Even after death, a cultivator’s internal restrictions still remained.

However, the next moment, the power of the Profound Celestial Immortal Vine eerily passed through these restrictions as if unimpeded, not triggering any alerts.

Immediately, countless fragmented memory images began to flicker.

From the moment Long Changqing was detected to have a wood-element Spirit Body, he was cultivated by the family; unfortunately, his Spirit Body could only be considered decent.

Completely incomparable to the Celestial Spirit Sword Body, such a top-level Spirit Body.

The family favored his younger brother more, an Earth Spirit Root cultivator.

Later, in the Long Family’s treasury, Long Changqing discovered this Ancient Cultivation Technique leaf...

Upon seeing this, Lin Chang’an was utterly astonished, completely disrupting his previous assumptions.

"So that’s how it is!"

It turned out Long Changqing accidentally discovered the secret of this ancient Immortal Leaf and then hid it.

Every cultivator has their own secrets, even within their family or sect, which is normal and considered one’s personal fortune.

At this moment, all previous doubts were resolved.

It turned out that this Profound Celestial Immortal Leaf had been secretly nurtured by Long Changqing all along because he found that the life essence could accelerate his cultivation and restore mana injuries.

As the Core Formation Seed of the Long Family and being openly responsible for business as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he naturally had access to abundant resources, which resulted in the current situation.

"Discover the secret and then hide it, waiting for a chance to shine!"

When Lin Chang’an opened his eyes and looked at Long Changqing’s body, he nodded silently.

This person was cautious, but unfortunately, he encountered him.

If not, it would have been difficult to handle after the other achieved Core Formation.

If it were him, he would also hide such a secret discovered within the family, as he was not the first-choice genius after all.

When he became strong, it would also bolster the Long Family, wouldn’t it?

"The Immortal Cultivation Realm is always about competition for benefits, even among family or sect; fighting over resources is common, but what does the Long family’s matters have to do with me?"

Lin Chang’an shook his head indifferently; this harvest was already complete.

Though the corpse could still be exchanged for a considerable amount of Spirit Stones, to avoid leaving traces, he opted to use a Fire Bomb Technique to see the other off.
