Chapter 832: Chapter 387: Remnant Soul of an Ancient Cultivator

Bibo Island.

Inside the cave residence, Lin Chang’an was holding his breath and concentrating, manipulating the array disc in front of him.

At the center of the array disc, a fiery red Nascent Soul-grade magical treasure longsword flickered with spiritual light, being extracted of its aura.

The extracted energy transformed into strands of fiery red light, slowly absorbed by three fiery red talismans.

The Upper Grade Spirit Stones around the array disc were also being consumed rapidly.

This scene had persisted for half a month.

"The energy of a Nascent Soul-grade talisman treasure is indeed vast. Fortunately, this clever method reduces the difficulty by sealing only one attack’s worth of energy in each talisman paper, otherwise, it would not be easy for me to make."

A few days later, the Nascent Soul-grade magical treasure emitted a buzzing sound, its spiritual light dimming slightly.

Extracting the magical treasure’s power to create talisman treasures is something only cultivators nearing their end would do, as it damages the magical treasure.

"Finally done!"

As the terrifying fiery aura of the three talismans suspended on the array platform dissipated, transforming into three seemingly ordinary talisman papers, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but smile.

With a wave of his hand, he grasped the three talismans, finding them soft and warm to the touch.

On the talismans, mysterious runes surrounded a vividly depicted fiery red longsword at the center, appearing extremely lifelike.

Filled with joy, Lin Chang’an stored away the three talisman treasures. He then raised his hand to hold the Nascent Soul-grade magical treasure longsword that had performed so well.

"The spiritual light is dimmed. With this extraction of power, it would likely take a hundred years to recover."

Caressing the scorching fire attribute magical treasure in his hand, Lin Chang’an shook his head silently.

Unfortunately, he was not a Nascent Soul cultivator, otherwise with the mana of a Nascent Soul cultivator nurturing it, it would only take decades to regain its spirituality.

Of course, this was also tied to the limited energy he extracted while creating the talisman treasures.

"Unless it’s a matter of life and death, the created talisman treasures should not be easily exposed."

Once exposed, everyone would know it’s related to the Red Fire Old Monster.

He didn’t want to become the target of everyone.

"I wonder how that Cyan-Horned Bull’s cultivation is coming along."

After packing up the various tools used in making the talisman treasures, Lin Chang’an slowly got up and walked toward the cave residence’s exit.

...

Since the last time he returned from Sea Abyss City, he had closed up to make talisman treasures and refined Earth attribute elixirs for the Cyan-Horned Bull’s cultivation breakthrough.

In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

[Life Span: 279/872]

[Realm: Golden Core Late Stage (42/100)]

As the time for the Secret Realm’s opening drew nearer, Lin Chang’an found himself more relaxed.

After all, he was about to embark on an adventure and needed to unwind a bit.

The way of cultivation requires a balance between relaxation and tension to maintain a long-term mindset and heart power.

Heart power originates from the cultivator’s beliefs, fighting spirit, determination, etc. It’s not exhaustible and requires the cultivator’s own adjustment.

After all, cultivators are also human, with emotions and desires, not emotionless puppets.

On this day, Lin Chang’an was savoring Spirit Tea in the pavilion within the cave residence on Bibo Island, appreciating the Sword Servant’s sword dance.

He had to admit, although the Sword Servant wasn’t suited to dance like Fairy Ni Chang, her sword dance had a unique flavor.

"Master, recently, someone in the Bibo Island black market has been secretly inquiring about the cultivators who have sold Spiritual Ores in recent years."

After finishing her sword dance, the Sword Servant respectfully reported the latest news.

Lin Chang’an listened without a frown, instead waving it off nonchalantly:

"Normal, who wouldn’t be envious of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance mining Spiritual Ores these years? Naturally, the cultivators secretly selling them attract attention, not to mention outsiders, even the Four Seas Commerce Association is keeping an eye out."

Taking a sip of Spirit Tea, Lin Chang’an didn’t pay much heed to the matter.

Over the years, using avatars to sell Spiritual Ores, he not only targeted the Seven Kingdoms Alliance but also sold a few to outsiders.

Once the Seven Kingdoms Alliance found out, they immediately got anxious and contacted him, eventually agreeing to a deal where in exchange for increasing future rewards of all Spiritual Ore information by twenty percent, they would secure exclusive rights.

With Spirit Stones to earn, how could he refuse?

However, there were always people who remained persistent in secret.

This time, however, the Sword Servant spoke in a serious tone, "Master, this time it’s different. This person is secretly seeking information to trade for Yin Spirit Ash."

"Yin Spirit Ash!?"

Lin Chang’an was taken aback to hear it. Though valuable, the utility was scarce.

Yin Spirit Ash has remarkable effects on nurturing the Divine Sense and Divine Soul, but a little is insufficient, and more is unaffordable.

It is only acquired when a Tier Three Yin Spirit Beast King perishes, making it generally not worth the trouble.

"Unless it’s used to refine some special pills or for someone with damage to their Divine Soul."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang’an frowned slightly.

If it’s the former, then the individual is no ordinary person, as he only knew of these obscure pills due to significant Yin Soul Sect inheritance.

If the latter, it’s extremely rare for cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation Realm to suffer Divine Soul injuries, reminding him of Ghost Abyss.

"This person heard Master had connections with these individuals, hoping Master would act as an intermediary, willing to trade a piece of thousand-year Soul Nourishing Wood for a large amount of Yin Spirit Ash."

"Soul Nourishing Wood!"

Lin Chang’an was even more astounded by the Sword Servant’s words.

The item is an extremely rare treasure, clearly superior for nurturing the Divine Soul compared to Yin Spirit Ash; but for quick treatment of Divine Soul damage, the one-time consumable Yin Spirit Ash is preferred.

After all, who would willingly consume Soul Nourishing Wood in one go?

"Could it really be connected to Ghost Abyss?"

From what he learned in the memory of the Yin Spirit Beast King, the Yin Soul Sect’s most prized treasure was a Soul Nourishing Wood.
