But he could feel the injuries from using the Divine Techniques just now, his meridians hurt by the Sword Aura, yet his terrifying Self-Healing Body was quickly recovering.

Even his Mana was recovering at an extremely fast rate.

"This Divine Technique, even the Blood Evil Master at the peak of Core Formation Late Stage, was cautious when cultivating it, but with my Self-Healing Body, it’s simply perfect."

The backlash that worried other cultivators was something he could recover from in no time, and even excessive Mana consumption was within manageable limits for him.

As for the clone, there’s no need to mention it. It’s originally carried by the Profound Celestial Immortal Vine leaf, with a self-healing capability that is not weak at all.

Lin Chang’an and his clone transformed into two Escape Lights, maneuvering around the two Tier Three poisonous insects, continuously activating Sword Aura to attack.

The Phoenix Cry Bird emitted an excited phoenix cry, showing no fear of the piercing Divine Sense Attack, and its attributes exhibited natural suppression against the poisonous insects.

Lin Chang’an himself was already at the Core Formation Early Stage Cultivation, plus with the Blood Evil Sword Magical Treasure and Divine Techniques, his combat prowess was extremely strong, even when adding a clone with a Fake Pill Cultivation.

Yet, the speed in dealing with one Tier Three poisonous insect was not as fast as the Phoenix Cry Bird.

The Phoenix Cry Bird, like a golden lightning bolt, instantly grabbed a poisonous insect and soared into the sky.

The poisonous insect, in panic, spewed out terrifying green poison mist, but with the Phoenix Cry Bird’s swift flight, a long trail of green poison mist was left behind.

Under the sunshine in the sky, the Phoenix Cry Bird, bathed in the poison mist, appeared with bright and smooth feathers, unaffected by the damp poison mist.

Instead, it aggravated the fierce nature of the Phoenix Cry Bird, which instantly pierced through the body of the Tier Three poisonous insect with its sharp beak.

"Pfft!"

A cyan-green Demon Core was directly caught in the beak of the Phoenix Cry Bird, while the giant soft-bodied poisonous insect under its claws had lost its breath.

"So fast!"

Lin Chang’an was astonished by this scene, but upon thinking it over, realized it was normal.

If it were a scorpion-like poisonous insect, it would still possess frightening combat power after losing its venom, but a soft-bodied poisonous insect relies mostly on its poison.

When the poison becomes ineffective, even a Tier Three Late Stage poisonous insect’s combat abilities would diminish significantly.

Hence, it was normal for the Phoenix Cry Bird to resolve the battle so quickly.

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, such restraining combat was never lacking, whether it’s the natural suppression between demon beasts or the attribute suppressions.

Even among cultivators, there are such extreme restraining effects, such as powerful Demon Dao evil skills being restrained by lightning or Yang-type techniques.

"Indeed, coming to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range this time was the right choice."

The battle ended quickly, and the other poisonous insect was also pecked for its Demon Core by the Phoenix Cry Bird on its return flight.

Of course, the reason was partly due to the Array; otherwise, if the poisonous insect burrowed underground, the Phoenix Cry Bird wouldn’t have been able to easily kill two Tier Three Middle Stage poisonous insects.

...

"I didn’t expect the battle would go so smoothly."

Looking at the two green Wood Attribute Demon Cores in his hand, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but smile contentedly.

It’s just a pity that these poisonous insects have little value otherwise.

"These soft skins aren’t even suitable for making Talismans."

Lin Chang’an shook his head regretfully. Aside from the Demon Core, the only valuable part of these soft-bodied poisonous insects is their poison sacs, which don’t match the reputation of Tier Three Demon Beasts.

This is why most cultivators dislike hunting such poisonous insects.

The risk is very high, but the rewards aren’t proportional.

If it weren’t for his immunity to the poisons of the same level and the presence of the Phoenix Cry Bird, it would be unimaginable for a cultivator with diminished abilities to constantly worry about the poison during a battle.

Such a battle posed immense risks.

"Master!"

The golden Phoenix Cry Bird landed and, eyeing the two corpses of the poisonous insects, displayed a greedy look.

Seeing this, Lin Chang’an amusingly gestured, "Eat up, these things are most valuable to you anyway."

The Phoenix Cry Bird, getting the go-ahead, immediately became excited and began devouring the soft white body of the poisonous insect.

"Moo!"

The Cyan-Horned Bull that appeared showed an envious look at this sight.

The corpse of a Tier Three Demon Beast is a great tonic.

Demon beasts are driven by nature, with the strong being revered, and since the poisonous insects were hunted by the Phoenix Cry Bird, the Cyan-Horned Bull, although tempted, could only watch eagerly.

Seeing this, the highly intelligent Phoenix Cry Bird let out a few crisp cries, and the Cyan-Horned Bull mooed excitedly in response.

Then, it went over to share the leftover half of the poisonous insect’s body from the Phoenix Cry Bird.

Seeing this, Lin Chang’an nodded with a smile. Having a Spirit Pet with high intelligence indeed has its merits.

Normally Spirit Pets wouldn’t easily share their prey with others.

Besides, he wouldn’t directly intervene; nurturing Spirit Pets isn’t about commanding them at will.

Otherwise, as the Spirit Pet’s cultivation grows and its intelligence awakens, there might be a betrayal during times of danger one day.

The Immortal Cultivation Realm is full of cases where Spirit Pets, treated poorly, have betrayed and devoured their masters when they were gravely injured and weak.

"You really dare to eat, be careful not to get poisoned."

Lin Chang’an shook his head with a smile, but still went forward to infuse his own Mana into the Cyan-Horned Bull.

The whole body of these poisonous insects is toxic. Although the chances of the Cyan-Horned Bull being poisoned to death are low when ingested, he didn’t want to take that risk.

After the battle, Lin Chang’an meticulously searched the vicinity for some Spirit Plants, as areas near the territories of Tier Three Demon Beasts, especially poisonous ones, generally contain rare Spirit Grass.
