Chapter 494: Chapter 261: Spirit Supplement Pill

Celestial Spring Peak.

Lin Chang’an stealthily returned to the dojo with the purchased female cultivator, as if nothing had happened.

And yet, this cold and petite female cultivator showed no trace of fear before death; instead, before entering the cave residence, she glanced wistfully at the blue sky and white clouds.

"The Celestial Spirit Sword Body, truly a unique talent."

After returning to the cave residence, Lin Chang’an finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If it weren’t for the fact that he had reviewed the memories of many cultivators over the years, especially those of one cultivator at the peak of the late stage of Core Formation with substantial skills, he wouldn’t have such detailed knowledge.

However, when he looked at the purchased goods again, he couldn’t help but feel envious.

Some things you’re born with, you just have them, or you don’t.

"Master!"

The cold-faced female sword servant revealed a delicate face, appearing no more than sixteen or seventeen, and due to her human-demon mixed blood, she even had a hint of wildness.

In reality, she was in her thirties, but perhaps due to her lineage, she looked younger.

On the way back, Lin Chang’an also learned about her background. Of course, being cautious, he used his Core Formation cultivation to employ some illusions, naturally extracting all the information from a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

More importantly, he understood the truth of her words.

After all, what he planned to do was very complex.

"Now I’m going to place restrictions on you, both physically and spiritually..."

She didn’t resist at all, allowing Lin Chang’an to place the restrictions.

Being a Tier Three Array Master with Core Formation cultivation, placing restrictions was a simple task.

Although what he plotted was the Celestial Spirit Energy that would only be nurtured within her after Core Formation, and he needed her cooperation to obtain it.

But now that she’s here, he wasn’t in a hurry.

One reason is that he had only just recently formed his Core; another is that he needed to become familiar with her nature first.

After all, the path he intended to take was one of nurturing, meticulously caring, and investing vast resources to assist her in forming her Core.

Patience is required.

More importantly, her state of mind was near despair. For a cultivator who’s lost all hope of living, cultivation is meaningless.

Throughout the journey, he observed that she hadn’t utterly despaired. What he needed to do was make her slowly yearn for life.

Desire is the driving force; if a person lacks desire, there’s little difference between living and dying.

After placing the restrictions, Lin Chang’an instructed her with a composed expression.

"Since you possess Foundation Establishment cultivation, you have some basic skills of a cultivator. Familiarize yourself with this jade scroll and cultivate here from now on."

He handed her a jade scroll and then allowed her to leave the cave residence.

Of course, her activity was limited to the peak of his mountain.

In the cave residence, watching her numb silhouette departing, Lin Chang’an’s eyes flickered.

"The Celestial Spirit Energy can only be nurtured after Core Formation, not urgent, and acquiring it smoothly will require her cooperation."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang’an shook his head, but what he needed to do now was to refine the Spirit Supplement Pill.

This was the top priority.

"Now that all materials for the Spirit Supplement Pill have been gathered, it’s time to start alchemy."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang’an took a deep breath.

If the pill he possessed, which can enhance the spirit root and Golden Core quality, were known, he would be targeted by a group of Core Formation cultivators.

"Especially the Fake Pill Cultivators; if these people found out, they would go insane."

After all, without major opportunities in their lifetimes, Fake Pill cultivators can only reach so far.

Once an opportunity arises, these people would become utterly frenzied.

"However, to refine this Spirit Supplement Pill, I must rely on Profound Sound Pavilion’s Tier Three Pill Furnace."

So far, he had only purchased a Tier Three Lower Grade Spiritual Brush through Old Hu’s assistance. The pill furnace was financially out of reach and would have to wait for later.

Also, there was a Tier Three Middle Grade Pill Furnace in the Profound Sound Pavilion and, as an Honored Guest Elder of the Profound Sound Pavilion, he might as well use it.

"Being an Honored Guest Elder shouldn’t go to waste."

Thinking this, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but smile. After organizing his recent gains, he released the Phoenix Cry Bird.

"Master!"

"Return to the Lava Cave to keep watch."

Hearing this, the Phoenix Cry Bird was thrilled, as it enjoyed the fire attribute spiritual energy concentrated in the Lava Cave, not to mention the presence of a Fusang Divine Tree.

The Phoenix Cry Bird transformed into a streak of golden light, excitedly darting towards its nest.

Meanwhile, with a shake of his head, Lin Chang’an headed to the Lava Cave.

The difference was that he only conducted a preliminary observation and did not linger; instead, he went through the Lava Cave directly to the Red Fire Peak.

To the outside world, his main identity was supposed to be in secluded cultivation.

And for alchemy, he needed to adopt the identity of this Wen Danshi.

...

Profound Sound Pavilion.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Liu."

When Lin Chang’an appeared before the two using Wen Danshi’s identity and requested to use the Profound Sound Pavilion’s Tier Three Pill Furnace for alchemy, their expressions noticeably changed.

Among them, Liu Ruyu was filled with delight, as borrowing the Tier Three Pill Furnace surely meant refining a Tier Three Elixir, even if it was for Wen Danshi’s personal use.

As long as the news spread, it would serve as a stabilizing force for the entire sect.

Especially since this time, it was to refine elixirs for the sect.

Xu Lingfeng, on the other hand, had a moment of stiffness in his expression before forcing out a smile.

"In that case, I shall leave it to Wen Danshi."

"I dare not claim credit. This time it is indeed to refine elixirs for the sect."

Under Lin Chang’an’s hoarse voice, he truly intended to refine elixirs for the Profound Sound Pavilion this time.

The Profound Sound Pavilion had previously provided him with materials for a Tier Three Elixir, but he had been postponing, or rather using the excuse of adjusting his energy and spirit.
