Three days later.
Lin Xuan’s expression was solemn as he struck out with a Magic Art. The squeaking Array in front of him stopped, revealing the zombie in the middle.
Compared with a few days ago, the zombie’s appearance didn’t seem to be any different. The only difference was that the blood-red light in its eye disappeared and was replaced by a touch of silver glow.
With a thought, the zombie immediately walked out of the circle and stood aside respectfully.
After issuing a few more instructions, the zombie also followed them without error. Lin Xuan was very delighted, this Heavenly Devil Corpse technique was truly quite magical.
Although he only reached the first level and could only use zombies of the Spirit Condensation Stage, it was always great to have these monsters as helpers, and at the crucial moment, they can also be used as cannon fodder.
Putting it into the ghost bag, Lin Xuan took out another unrefined zombie.
With his first experience, the refinement naturally went smoother this time.
…
In a blink of an eye, a month has passed.
Lin Xuan had refined all the captured monsters, and got a total of fifteen Spirit Condensation Stage zombies, leaving only the body of the Corpse King. Of course, this monster would not move for the time being, Lin Xuan was very self-aware and knew quite well not to do such a stupid thing.
The two Magic Arts recorded in the “Profound Demon Scripture” that could improve one’s strength in a short time have been practiced. Next, he would naturally give his all to increase his Spiritual Power.
After all, no matter how advanced the Magic Art was, it was also supported by Spiritual Power. For example, Lin Xuan was absolutely second to none among cultivators of the same level after mastering the Heavenly Devil Corpse technique and refining the Hundred Soul Banner. Not to mention fighting against one person, even if it was two enemies, or even three, he still had a great chance of winning.
However, if he faced a Core Formation Stage Expert, he would have no chance at fighting back at all. After all, with the other party’s realm, their Spiritual Power was naturally far deeper. There was truth in the saying: One force drops ten clubs1A person with great power can defeat ten martial artists. All tactics are useless in the face of absolute power..
Although cultivating these two Magic Arts really did improve his strength, it was only a temporary measure. It was also because his sect was in danger. So in order to prevent accidents, the more strength he had, the better his chances at survival.
But now, the situation has changed greatly, and the crisis of Spirit Pill Mountain has been lifted. Although Lin Xuan was not very clear about the specific situation, he only heard a few words from the two cultivators of Thunder Cloud Mountain. But the facts are facts. Since this sect was safe now, then he could rest assured and confidently cultivate.
Lin Xuan certainly wanted to condense a Golden Core, not to mention at this level, one would be respected everywhere one went. Moreover, one’s lifespan would be more than twice as long as a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.
And the most important goal of him embarking on the Immortal Path was to pursue immortality.
Of course, one shouldn’t bite more than they can chew, and they also mustn’t be anxious on the path of immortality. Haste to achieve quick success could only be harmful and unprofitable. It was still too far away for him to condense a Golden Core.
Lin Xuan’s initial goal was the Foundation Establishment Late-stage.
So the purpose of this seclusion was to enter a higher realm of cultivation.
Speaking of cultivation, it was actually a very boring process. It was nothing more than absorbing the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth and doing a Heavenly Revolution loop throughout one’s body. The principle was almost the same.
It was just that different Cultivation Methods have different circulation paths, and the effects would vary greatly.
Of course, innate talent was also very important here. Such as geniuses, even if they practiced ordinary Cultivation Methods, the effects would also be extremely fast. Of course, their Spiritual Power would be less pure, and their Magic Arts slightly inferior.
There were two kinds of Top-level Cultivation Methods. One was like the “Profound Demon Scripture” which was fast and powerful. Unfortunately, the loopholes were huge. Not to mention its hidden dangers, if one wanted to practice this Cultivation Method, unless he or she was a genius, they might have Qi Deviation if they were not careful!
The other was similar to “Nine Heavens Profound Art”, which emphasized a solid foundation and would not be effective in the short term. But it was very promising after mastering it, and there were no hidden dangers and loopholes.
The two Cultivation Methods have their own advantages, and of course, the disadvantages were also very obvious.
However, it just happened that they complement each other.
But this was only wishful thinking. Even if ordinary cultivators have both, they couldn’t be practiced together.
As for Lin Xuan, who had practiced the Yin-Yang Art, he naturally did not have this problem. On the surface, his future with cultivating both Top-level Cultivation Methods was very bright.
However, every family has its own difficulties, and only he knew his own suffering. Lin Xuan’s Innate Talent was a mess. Well, to be correct, he didn’t even have a Spiritual Root.
Fortunately, in the Cultivation World, innate shortcomings could be made up by constantly consuming pills. But not everybody could be that luxurious.
Spirit Medicines weren’t candy. They required all kinds of heavenly materials and earthy treasures. And rare Spirit Herbs could only be obtained after thorough refining.
But for Lin Xuan, who had the Blue Star Sea, it was naturally not a problem.
In the beginning, he joined Spirit Pill Mountain to obtain its storage of Trash Pills.
After snatching the Trash Pills that this Sect had accumulated for thousands of years. He now had nothing else but pills.
Every day, he’d first purify the pills, then enter a life of bitter cultivation.
Lin Xuan was now very familiar with purifying pills. And with the increase of Spiritual Power, the Blue Star Sea in his body was also expanded at the same time. Low-grade pills were definitely a waste of time.
Lin Xuan took Foundation Establishment Pills of at least the mid-grade, and occasionally one or two high-grade ones.
Driven by the powerful medicinal potency, coupled with Lin Xuan’s extraordinarily hard work, the speed of cultivation was not that fast, but it was still very rapid.
Lin Yue’er was not idle either, regardless of the little girl’s beauty and delicacy, she was also very hardworking in her cultivation.
Although with her body being that of a Yin Ghost, she couldn’t take pills as a supplement, her Innate Talent was much better, so her cultivation speed was naturally not slow!
After getting the “Profound Demon Scripture”, Lin Yue’er naturally gave up on the Cultivation Method that was snatched from Mater Yin Ghost. Although the “Nine Changes of Yin Ghosts” was quite extraordinary, it was quite worse than the one that both the Sky Fiend Demon Lord and Extreme Demon Venerable practice.
Not to mention that Lin Xuan also had this skill. Together, they could perform several powerful techniques.
