Chapter 893: Chapter 401: Nascent Soul Divine Sense, Sword Servant in Danger!

The other party learned about the customs and culture of the distant Demon Beast Abyss from Lin Chang’an, and similarly, Lin Chang’an learned many things about the Southern Domain from them.

Both parties were very satisfied, after all, the intelligence they had previously gathered on their own was mostly superficial; only through discourse between fellow cultivators could they gain insights viewed from the same realm.

However, Lin Chang’an was not foolish. Although the Demon Beast Abyss was extremely distant, taking even large merchant ships several years to make a round trip,

this did not mean that these sects, which have been deeply rooted for over a thousand years, were completely uninformed.

It was obvious that the other party was also testing him to see if he was truly a cultivator from the Demon Beast Abyss.

"Fellow Daoist, our sect can take in all these resources you possess. Please feel free to mention what you need, knowing that among the Four Great Influences, our Myriad Poison Sect has the most abundant spirit grass and spirit fruit."

As a sect renowned for raising poisonous insects, the Myriad Poison Sect naturally had the pride to match.

"You are too kind, fellow Daoist. Let’s first trade the spirit grass we discussed earlier."

Although the promises were grand, Lin Chang’an primarily wanted to obtain the things he needed now.

Upon hearing this, the other party was initially startled, then slapped their forehead and laughed, saying, "Brother Xiao, look at my memory, getting so enthralled in conversation that I almost forgot the main business."

"You’re too kind, Brother Cheng."

After a brief exchange, the two became quite familiar with each other.

The other referred to him as a brother because he had a higher cultivation, while the other was only at the Core Formation Middle Stage.

And Lin Chang’an referred to the other as a brother because the other was older.

"Brother Xiao, have a look."

The other party directly took out two jade boxes and, with a meaningful smile, slowly opened them.

Inside the boxes were the spirit grasses he needed. The difference was that one was less than a thousand years old, while the other clearly had been around for about one thousand two hundred years.

"Brother Xiao, someone as outstanding as yourself, who does not hesitate to travel afar, must have a steadfast Dao heart seeking the Nascent Soul path. And our sect’s Grand Elder is the only Tier Four Alchemist within the Four Great Influences.

From the Grand Elder’s hands, numerous Nascent Soul Pills have been refined, more than dozens, yet not exceeding a hundred."

Lin Chang’an, although somewhat surprised by the intention to recruit him, upon careful consideration, was not entirely caught off guard.

A foreign cultivator like himself had the advantage of having no ties, so recruiting him into the sect wouldn’t cause any trouble.

However, with such high-standing Nascent Soul sects, many desired to join, and the fact that the other party personally sought to recruit him caused Lin Chang’an to narrow his eyes.

"Brother Cheng, let’s be candid. I indeed came here to find a stable place to cultivate, and then to seek the spiritual objects for Nascent Soul Formation."

This cultivator named Cheng seemed to realize he might have been too eager, or perhaps it was his deliberate display of eagerness in seeking talents.

Sighing with a slight look of embarrassment, the Cheng cultivator cupped his hands and said, "

"Mr. Xiao, you can rest assured. It’s really quite simple. With the spirit grass and spirit fruit you’ve previously purchased, you must be a Pill Master, and you also hinted at corpse puppets earlier..."

The Cheng cultivator’s embarrassed yet sincere smile seemed to say that while Core Formation cultivators were easy to find, those with specific skills were rare.

The Myriad Poison Sect had an abundance of spirit grass, so they weren’t lacking in alchemy skills, but Tier Three Alchemists were scarce everywhere, with very few in their entire sect.

More importantly, it was about knowing corpse refining!

The Myriad Poison Sect had never been on good terms with the Corpse Mountain Valley, and corpse puppets could arguably be considered strategic resources.

"I see, so that’s why you have your eyes on my corpse puppet."

Lin Chang’an wasn’t too surprised, as the intelligence he had deliberately exposed naturally represented his worth.

And this corpse puppet technique wasn’t purely about corpse refining but was a combination of corpse refining and puppet skills.

This craft was completed after acquiring the Yin Soul Sect’s inheritance and adding the Profound Yin Demon Sect’s ancestral cultivation technique.

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, aside from spirit pets, the business of corpse puppets was quite popular, even more so than ordinary puppets.

After all, puppets required maintenance after every battle and replacement of damaged parts, which was a significant ongoing expense.

But corpse puppets were different; they could restore themselves by absorbing essence blood, and soaking them in areas filled with yin energy also worked. They could even recover through the essence blood of the enemies they fought, presenting a potential to advance.

Besides the risk of backlash, the cost-effectiveness of corpse puppets far surpassed that of ordinary puppets.

"To join your sect!?"

Lin Chang’an exhibited a look of hesitation, and seeing the potential for success, the Cheng cultivator eagerly nodded and said, "

"Also, aren’t your cultivation techniques likely of the Yin Han (cold and yin) type? Then you must be aware of our sect’s other Grand Elder."

When mentioning this Grand Elder, the Cheng cultivator showed pride on his face, yet there was also awkwardness and pent-up frustration over others scheming against their Grand Elder.

"Could it be the True Monarch Bingdie?"

Lin Chang’an had naturally heard of this, but still pretended to be unaware of the details.

This True Monarch Bingdie was a renowned Nascent Soul prodigy who was ambushed and injured at the source.

Legend says that this person was born with a Spirit Body and received an ancient ice silkworm as a life-bound spirit gu, undergoing a metamorphosis during Nascent Soul Formation and emerged famed as True Monarch Bingdie.

His ice-based techniques even withstood the attacks of Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators during his Nascent Soul Early Stage.

The allure offered by the other party was clear; how could Cold Yin cultivation techniques compare to having guidance from a Nascent Soul cultivator?

Many experiences and even slight advice from a Nascent Soul cultivator were invaluable.

"Cold Yin cultivation techniques could indeed solidify my current identity, and as for the corpse puppet, it’s an unexpected bonus."
