Located in the center of the city, this medicine house was beautifully decorated. Lin Xuan glanced at it and then walked in without hesitation.

The shopkeeper inside was a Spirit Condensation Middle-Stage cultivator, so after seeing Lin Xuan’s cultivation base of the Foundation Establishment Stage, he immediately greeted him with joy and respect: “Greeting Senior, what do you need?”

…

Half an hour later, Lin Xuan walked out of the medicine shop with satisfaction.

The Yi Jing Pill’s raw materials, except for the Seven Star Grass, the others are relatively common, and not particularly precious, so Lin Xuan collected them easily.

However, the next purchases were not so smooth.

Lin Xuan went to several shops specializing in talisman making but didn’t find the desired Beast Talisman. Not to mention Beast Talismans with second-level Spirit Beast souls, he couldn’t even find first-level ones.

This made Lin Xuan, who had just learned about the function of the jade pendant, greatly depressed.

In fact, Lin Xuan has always wanted to use this Talisman as much as he wants, because manipulating the Beast Talisman requires only the usage of Spiritual Sense, and does not consume much Spirit Qi, saving time and effort, and if he encountered any opponents of the same level, they would have no chance at winning.

However, although he had such an idea before, it could not be put into practice, because a Beast Talisman is too expensive, very rare, and is a consumable item. A precious second-level Spirit Beast Talisman can not be used several times. Although Lin Xuan is far richer than cultivators of the same level, but he still can’t be too extravagant.

Although in theory, he could purity pills in exchange for Spirit Stones, it’s too noticeable, and Lin Xuan would not do such stupid things.

However, after discovering that the jade pendant can supplement the soul energy of Beast Talismans, naturally, he was less worried.

However, the situation was different from what Lin Xuan had imagined. Beast Talismans are not only expensive but also priceless.

Lin Xuan still has two Beast Talismans, the Soaring Heaven Bird and the Flaming Rhino, but with his Spiritual Sense, he can manipulate five at the same time.

Originally, Lin Xuan was prepared to bleed and acquire three additional talismans. But he didn’t expect not to find any in the largest city of You Prefecture.

But thinking about it. The Beast Talismans in his hands were indeed obtained by chance.

Lin Xuan sighed when he walked out of the last shop dedicated to selling talismans. According to the boss, Beast Talismans generally are not sold in stores, only occasionally, will they appear at the auction house.

Lin Xuan stood silently in place. Although this is considered useful intelligence, it is of no use to him, because he didn’t know when there would be a Beast Talisman at the auction house. It’s impossible for him to wait here forever.

Forget it, this matter can only be contemplated later.

After Lin Biao’s skill is raised, and when her cultivation base is equivalent to that of Human Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, she can learn the Ghost Dao Secret Art of soul condensing.

Well of course! There will be all kinds of hardships, but he doesn’t have to think about it right now. The most urgent matter is to refine the Yi Jing Pill and improve his strength as soon as possible.

Originally, Lin Xuan planned on returning to Spirit Pill Mountain as soon as possible, and enter seclusion. However, after passing a restaurant called “Immortal Guest House”, he stopped.

After pondering for a while, Lin Xuan walked into the tea house.

“Senior, please take a seat.”

Unlike other businesses which are mainly handled by Outer Sect disciples. This giant shop is operated by dozens of different factions.

Although the cultivation base of the junior in front of him is not worth mentioning, but he’s a genuine Inner disciple of a certain school.

Lin Xuan nodded quietly and came to a seat by the window. I’ll have a cup of “Snow Fairy Tea”.

It is said that this tea has a calming effect.

After drinking a few sips, Lin Xuan really felt a peace of mind. Then he released his Spiritual Sense and listened to the conversations of the surrounding cultivators.

Lin Xuan naturally did not come here just for tea.

The cultivators who came here also shared a similar purpose. They exchanged information with each other, so it is normal for him to do so, and no one cared.

Anyway, there are no fools who talk about things that are truly secret.

The sounds were quite messy, but after Lin Xuan filtered them with his Spiritual Sense, it was easy to find what he wanted to hear.

“I heard that the Blue Cloud Mountain wanted to assert its dominance in the Nascent Soul Conference, and the result was that they tried to catch the chicken but lost the rice.” [1]

A rough voice came into his ears, Lin Xuan immediately spread his Spiritual Sense, and saw that a few cultivators in different robes were sitting about five or six feet away from him. Looking at their costumes, they should be Rogue Cultivators

“Oh, did big brother participate?”

“This Yuan is not talented, but was just lucky to be there.”

The previous voice was somewhat smug, Lin Xuan glanced with his Spirit Eye Technique and the Rogue Cultivator was not weak, his cultivation base had actually reached the third layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

“What happened? Tell us about it.”

“Yeah, since it was the Nascent Soul Conference, did the senior of the Nascent Soul Stage come out?”

…

Everyone talked one after the other, and their faces showed fascinated expressions. Nascent Soul Stage, to the cultivators, is a legendary existence.

This caused the Rogue Cultivator surnamed Yuan to be speechless, and for a while, he didn’t know who to answer to.

“Okay, everyone, let’s take it one at a time, and let brother Yuan speak.”

A glamorous young woman entered the discussion. This woman is about twenty-seven years old. She is quite a bit beautiful, with long legs, a bountiful chest, and is full of temptation. She must have practiced a Cultivation Method with charming properties.

The cultivator surnamed Yuan swallowed his saliva and talked about his experience. Lin Xuan naturally wanted to know what happened in Blue Cloud Mountain after he left.

“After the conclusion of the Nascent Soul Conference, many cultivators still stayed in the Cloud Sea Square, and I approached the sects…”

“Oh, Brother Yuan wanted to end his career with Rogue Cultivation and find a place to join?”

“Mm.” The person nodded, and the beautiful lady glared at the talkative person from before: “Don’t interrupt, listen to Brother Yuan.”

The man’s cultivation base is obviously higher than that of the beautiful woman, but Lin Xuan doesn’t know whether he covets her beauty, or is deceived by her charm. Not only is he not angry at all, but he obediently shuts his mouth.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan was stunned in his heart, and he secretly reminds himself to be careful of her in the future.

The cultivator surnamed Yuan continued to say: “I was talking with the person in charge of Water Dragon Sect. When suddenly, the Formation around Cloud Sea Square was activated, and no one was allowed to leave.”

Hearing this, the other people opened their mouths, and said in disbelief: “Although Blue Cloud Mountain is strong, and after adding a Nascent Soul cultivator, its strength now ranks first among the Big Three, is it possible for them to detain people like this? Aren’t they afraid to arouse public anger and dissatisfaction?”

“I don’t know the stances of other sects, but I had no other thoughts besides being surprised and afraid. After all, us Rogue Cultivators are not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Big Three!” Yuan Li sighed and showed a self-deprecating expression on his face: “Later, a Core Formation Stage Elder from Blue Cloud Mountain spoke briefly about what happened. For us not to panic, saying that a thief broke into the Medicine Garden, and stole a lot of precious Spirit Medicine.”

The others looked at each other. some people dared to pluck the tiger’s fur!

“What happened then?”

“Later” Yuan Li rolled his eyes and said: “Nothing. After about half an hour, the Blue Cloud Sect Master personally rushed back to the Cloud Sea Square from the Medicine Garden, apologizing to some people, and then we left the Blue Cloud Mountain.”

There was a sigh, this anticlimactic explanation made the cultivators who listened to the story very dissatisfied. But Lin Xuan’s heart was moved and he secretly admired the Sect Master of Blue Cloud Mountain.

Forbearance, those who accomplish great things really need to have it.

In the situation at that time, they didn’t know who took the Seven Star Grass. If they detained the cultivator for a long time, not only would it not help, but it would also cause public outrage.

But while Lin Xuan was admiring him, at the same time, he was also relieved, since there was no investigation, then, in any case, they wouldn’t doubt him, and he doesn’t have to worry about what will happen to him, with this understanding, Lin Xuan began to drink tea with a peace of mind, and the voices of the people around still sounded into his ears.

“What kind of Spirit Medicine has Blue Cloud Mountain lost exactly?”

“I don’t know, this is a shameful matter, how can they disclose it to outsiders.”

“Yes, but this is really strange. Today’s Blue Cloud Mountain is as high as the sky. There are also two monsters in the Nascent Soul stage. Who are so bold to provoke them.”

“Maybe it is the Yixian Valley and Thunder Cloud Mountain.”

“Hush, do you want to die? This is quite sensitive. If you let the Big Three hear it, you would die without a proper burial.”

“What are you afraid of, how can there be such a coincidence? What’s more, I’m a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, if I can’t win I could just run. A man in a Confucian robe said triumphantly.
