This is exactly the prelude to the Tier Three God-determining Talisman’s failure.

However, it’s already sufficient. At the moment the Yin Spirit Beast King was immobilized, the Phoenix Cry Bird let out a long cry, transforming into a golden fire phoenix that charged over.

The other Yin Spirit Beast King faced with terrifying flames could only instinctively dodge in fear.

This caused the Yin Spirit Beast King, immobilized by the God-determining Talisman, to be pierced through by the Phoenix Cry Bird in the blink of an eye, its body turning to ash the next moment.

And the Yin Spirit Demon Pill of Tier Three Early Stage was taken by the Phoenix Cry Bird in its beak.

"Though both are Tier Three Demon Beasts, the intelligence of the Yin Spirit Beast King is evidently inferior to ordinary demon beasts."

If it were other Tier Three Demon Beasts, upon realizing they’re trapped, they generally wouldn’t abandon their companions easily, as they understand that only with more beasts is there a chance to escape.

At this moment, Lin Chang’an stepped forward, opened a jade box, and collected the ashes from the fallen Yin Spirit Beast King. These ashes were valuable Yin Spirit Ash.

This is considered the only worthwhile item from the Yin Spirit Beast King apart from the Demon Pill.

And the remaining Yin Spirit Beast King didn’t struggle for long, quickly killed by the Phoenix Cry Bird, leaving another Tier Three Lower Grade Demon Pill and a bit of Yin Spirit Ash.

Following this, Lin Chang’an waved his hand, dispersing the fire attribute spiritual energy inside the Array Barrier, transforming the surroundings back to a gray haze, with only the Defense Barrier remaining.

Knowing the cost of managing a household, saving is necessary.

Such defense barriers only consuming Spirit Stones for maintenance almost draw on Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy absorbed by the array itself.

This capability is only possessed by arrays of Tier Three and above.

"This Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea is indeed bizarre, with so many Yin Spirit Veins, no wonder the Yin Spirits here are endless; it’s truly a paradise for them."

Though it’s normal for more Yin Spirit Veins on the sea, inside the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea, it clearly defies logic.

"Perhaps this is the wondrous work of nature."

Lin Chang’an sighed inwardly; sometimes, though Core Formation Cultivators are powerful, even Golden Core Cultivators are just stronger ants before nature.

"Yin Vein Spiritual Spring, indeed extraordinary places for these two Yin Spirit Beast Kings, with plenty of Profound Water Liquid."

With a smile, Lin Chang’an tapped his storage bag, retrieving the jade bottle prepared before Core Formation for collecting Core Formation Spiritual Objects.

Using the Exorcism Technique, he carefully collected the Profound Water Liquid from the Yin Vein Spiritual Spring into the bottle.

"And there’s the Tier Three God-determining Talisman."

Lin Chang’an raised his hand; the God-determining Talisman that immobilized the Yin Spirit Beast King earlier was still in his possession.

The Tier Three Talisman can already be considered a real Spirit Talisman. As long as its energy isn’t completely consumed, it can still be used again, though its effect isn’t as good as before.

Similar to a Talisman Treasure. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Now the God-determining Talisman in his hand has faded a bit compared to before.

Likewise, attack-type Tier Three Talismans can be used repeatedly under cultivator manipulation, but Golden Core Cultivators using them must face equally tiered or even stronger opponents.

Typically, they wouldn’t hold back.

"Master."

The Phoenix Cry Bird, now the size of a palm, landed directly on Lin Chang’an’s shoulder, obediently spitting out the gained Yin Spirit Demon Pills.

"With this, I can finally trade for the last Tier Three Middle Grade Demon Pill."

Lin Chang’an’s eyes flashed; although the trip to the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea was tempting, considering refining the Spirit Supplement Pill as the primary matter, he couldn’t help but sigh.

"Certainly, as one becomes stronger, even oneself sometimes can’t control the greed within."

Just now, he considered his own core formation strength, the Phoenix Cry Bird, along with arrays and talismans, all perfectly restraining Yin Spirits.

A desire arose inside him to hunt several more Yin Spirit Beast Kings for Spirit Stones.

After all, Core Formation Cultivators need resources in many places.

"The Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea holds not only threats from Yin Spirits; it’s fraught with dangers. In the past, being cautious, I stayed in the outskirts; now I mustn’t be reckless."

Terrifying demon beasts are rumored within the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea; Lin Chang’an took a deep breath and decided to return.

He will come back when he’s stronger.
