Turns out their materials weren’t enough, and they wanted to prepare more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an secretly nodded. If it truly was a place where sinister spirits gathered, then other cultivators would indeed need to make thorough preparations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he seemed to have little need for so many Yang- and Fire-attribute treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Wind-chirp Bird restrained sinister spirits, and could even feed on them. Moreover, the Killing Origin Sword Art had reached a bottleneck after these years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Killing Origin Sword Art (Perfect 4698\u002F10000)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at his comprehension of the Killing Origin Sword Art, Lin Chang’an understood from the fragmented memories of the Blood Fiend True Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To cultivate this sword art to completion required endless baleful energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Wood-attribute cultivation method I specialized in might not restrain sinister spirits, but the sword beams filled with baleful energy were in no way inferior to those Yang-attribute treasures.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after this battle, Lin Chang’an was also somewhat reflective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his strength was formidable, he excelled more in prolonged, exhausting battles. In terms of explosive power, he was somewhat lacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the Talisman Treasure, the previous fight would not have ended so quickly. After all, the leader had been a late Second-rank Body Cultivator—he might very well have escaped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And using a Talisman Treasure takes time. My strongest means should be this evolved version of the Giant Sword Technique, the Sword Shadows Follow the Heart divine ability.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Sword Shadows Follow the Heart \u002F Giant Sword Technique (Proficiency 368\u002F500)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the proficiency of this divine ability, Lin Chang’an grew solemn as he activated it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, a cyan sword glow appeared around him. For defense, the sword glow encircled him, manifesting into a sword shield that protected his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For offense, it was incomparably sharp—essentially the evolved form of the Giant Sword Technique. It was smoother to control, and required much less charging time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This was a supreme sword dao divine ability. Even the late Core Formation Blood Fiend True Lord had held it in utmost regard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an also coveted the power of this divine ability greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the late Foundation Establishment stage, condensing a single sword glow was equivalent to possessing an additional top-grade Spirit Artifact, capable of both attack and defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon breaking through to Core Formation, three sword glows would be comparable to three low-grade magical treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the requirements to use this divine ability were exceedingly harsh, and even the slightest mistake would lead to backlash from the sword qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With my current False Core Realm divine sense!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Lin Chang’an forcibly urged the divine ability. In the next moment, the sword qi within his body backlashed, causing a trace of pain to surface between his brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His meridians suffered damage, but relying on the power of his Regenerative Body, he ultimately endured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with his False Core Realm divine sense, he forcibly drove this divine ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faintly, two sword glows appeared around him, yet in the end, he could not sustain them. One sword glow dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Sword Shadows Follow the Heart \u002F Giant Sword Technique +100 (Proficiency 468\u002F500)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, only two sword glows circled around Lin Chang’an, his aura growing even more formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As expected, I succeeded!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an’s face revealed joy. His effort to forcibly drive this divine ability with False Core divine sense had not been in vain. Although the two sword glows still carried a faint instability—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had indeed succeeded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this state, he stood at a balance point between the late Foundation Establishment and Core Formation stages for this divine ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could summon two sword glows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And the power of these two sword glows is even stronger!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the might of the sword glows, Lin Chang’an could not help but smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this state could not last long. After a muffled groan, the sword glows before him slowly faded away, though the smile on his face never did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the best use of the Regenerative Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can burst out with an attack power comparable to a False Core Cultivator for a short time, though it cannot be maintained.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was already quite good. Indeed, it had been the right decision to continue nurturing his Life-bound Spirit Plant earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a means such as this, he finally had confidence to plan for the dangerous land where sinister spirits converged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, while Talisman Treasures were strong, they would eventually be depleted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, using them caused damage to the treasures themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not possibly drain a magical treasure to the point of destruction, could he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be far too wasteful. He was still thinking that, if it came to it, he could exchange the treasure for a demon core or two in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If this place of converging sinister spirits truly has Blackwater Liquid, then wouldn’t that mean there’s a Yin-veined spiritual spring?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A spiritual spring, whether for his own cultivation or for nourishing his Life-bound Spirit Plant, was undoubtedly a precious land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since breaking through to late Foundation Establishment, Lin Chang’an had constantly been troubled. His spiritual root aptitude was poor, and his cultivation speed was far too slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Lifespan: 106\u002F283】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Realm: Late Foundation Establishment (12\u002F100)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this pace of cultivation, he gained only two points of experience a year, and the further he went, the harder it would become.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At present, ordinary Second-rank High-grade cultivation pills already had little effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Third-rank pills were far too costly for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Previously, Yun Yao gifted me two bottles of Third-rank cultivation-enhancing pills. Clearly, she intended for me to save them until I encountered a bottleneck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an pondered. High-grade spiritual roots might not encounter a bottleneck until reaching level 97, but with his Low-grade spiritual root, he might face one at level 90.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the aid of pills, his cultivation would stagnate. If he forcibly attempted Core Formation, even with Spirit Items, the chances of success would still be slim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was why cultivators with poor spiritual roots and resources found breakthroughs so difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These two bottles of pills, even if I consumed them now, would merely give me a bit more mana. Far less valuable than using them later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were at mid-Foundation Establishment and on the verge of a bottleneck, he naturally wouldn’t let them gather dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, breaking through a minor realm greatly boosted strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had only been in late Foundation Establishment for a few years—the effect would not be significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hopefully, the news the Three Fiends of the Zhong Clan obtained is true, and that there really is a dense Yin-veined spiritual spring. That would greatly benefit cultivation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With firm eyes, Lin Chang’an began preparing for his journey into the Fog Sea of Tongtian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During his preparations, the disappearance of the Wen Couple and Fang Tie remained unnoticed until several months later, when members of the Lu Clan came visiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that only because they had some dealings with the Lu Clan was the matter discovered. Otherwise, who knew how long it would have taken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three Foundation Establishment cultivators had gone missing at once. Though surprising, in the Sea Abyss of Beasts, such things were almost commonplace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention Foundation Establishment cultivators—even the disappearance of a Core Formation cultivator was nothing unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lu Clan reported the matter to Five Dragon Island, and afterward arranged for other Foundation Establishment cultivators to come and continue maintaining the stability of the formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this day, Hu Jin came visiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Wen Couple and Fellow Daoist Fang’s disappearance… I fear they met with misfortune.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the pavilion, Hu Jin also shook his head and sighed with melancholy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, what befell the Wen Couple today could very well happen to himself tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard that the two newly arrived Foundation Establishment cultivators both brought their families with them. Though their numbers weren’t large, it clearly displeased the Lu Clan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Hu Jin spoke the latest intelligence, Lin Chang’an gave a slight nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, I recently made the acquaintance of several fellow daoists. Next February, I plan to host a trade gathering on Five Dragon Island.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A trade gathering? I will certainly attend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an nodded slightly. If late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators were hosting, there would surely be many good things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One had to admit, Old Hu’s sociable nature, coupled with being an artifact refiner, had allowed him to befriend quite a few cultivators in such a short time since arriving here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an also often inquired after intelligence from Old Hu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All right, here are the two spirit tools you asked me to repair. Still, let me say this: be careful in all things. If something cannot be done, retreat in time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Hu brought out two spirit tools—these had been damaged during Lin Chang’an’s battle with the Three Fiends of the Zhong Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From memory, he knew these spirit tools were newly purchased by them in secret and clean of entanglements. Otherwise, he would not have entrusted Old Hu to repair them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Hu Jin’s experience, he immediately saw these two spirit tools were rare Yang-attribute items. He had already faintly guessed where Lin Chang’an intended to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence the reminder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing his old friend’s concern, Lin Chang’an smiled and nodded, saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Hu, my spiritual root aptitude is poor. To cultivate this far has already consumed too many resources. If I do not fight at this juncture, I will regret it for the rest of my life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others might not understand, but only Lin Chang’an himself knew just how much preparation he had done in secret before daring to attempt this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone had their own secrets—just as Lin Chang’an never asked about the treasures left behind by Hu Jin’s ancestors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Old Hu nodded. “Fine. With your cautiousness, Old Lin, there will be no problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two then drank together, exchanging much information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, who had discovered an injured Third-rank demon beast in the Outer Seas, how many cultivators had gone after it, and how many died in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or who had gained some stroke of fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world of cultivation never lacked death and fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, most cultivators were but common multitudes, never fated to touch such fortunes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Hu Jin left, Lin Chang’an began preparing in earnest for his journey in search of Core Formation Spirit Items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All the things the Three Fiends of the Zhong Clan prepared are in my hands, and I also have many thunder-attribute talismans. Perfectly suited.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Chang’an inventoried his resources, he secretly nodded—especially since he also had the Wind-chirp Bird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This exotic beast restrained sinister spirits and fed on them. It was as if it were returning home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Wind-chirp Bird’s strength, even a quasi–third-rank sinister spirit could be devoured under attribute restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This trip, even if I do not obtain Core Formation Spirit Items, will still be of immense benefit to the Wind-chirp Bird.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the bird perched on his shoulder, fawning upon him, Lin Chang’an could not help but secretly shake his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After raising it for so many years, there was some bond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhi zhi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All right, this time I will let you eat your fill.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a calm smile, Lin Chang’an gently stroked the bird, his eyes firm with resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the clue left by the Three Fiends of the Zhong Clan had been about a Third-rank demon beast, he might have hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a place where sinister spirits converged?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sword glows brimming with baleful energy, the Third-rank Blood Fiend Scarlet Sun Grand Formation, and the Wind-chirp Bird—were they not all restraints against sinister spirits?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even had confidence that, should a true Third-rank sinister spirit appear, as long as it fell into his formation, he could defeat it under attribute restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this thought, determination lit Lin Chang’an’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven punished those who failed to seize opportunity; heaven cursed those who missed their time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fortune was right before his eyes, and it came with attribute restraint. If he did not investigate, he would regret it forever.\u003C\u002Fp>",2110,"2026-06-06T08:45:32.907Z",1,"novelbin.me","731e1b7bc24f84d72fed1ada1a15a4cb38c6c31ad900a08b6aeae534d550e2b6","immortal-cultivation-begins-with-drawing-talisma-chapter-214","immortal-cultivation-begins-with-drawing-talisma-chapter-212",242,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortal-cultivation-begins-with-drawing-talisma-cover.jpg"]
