Chapter 923 - 407: Profound Celestial Spirit Body Taking Shape

"If we take action in the shadows, eliminating a single Teng Changfeng and the Teng family, we certainly can't wipe them out entirely, right?"

Thinking this, Lin Chang'an shook his head. No!

If I really do it, who knows if any clues will be left behind.

Now, he's managed to settle down here and gradually build trust with the Sect. He can't risk everything for such a small matter.

"However, this Mr. Teng is Elder Cheng's direct disciple, a Tier Four Alchemist who must have prepared plenty of good items for his disciple..."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an's eyes sparkled, and he seemed somewhat tempted.

But this scheme still requires enough strength, at least he must first refine the Profound Celestial Spirit Body. According to Hongyi, only then will he have the capital to negotiate with a Nascent Soul Cultivator using a secret technique.

Only then will he be qualified to discuss deals.

"In the end, power is the foundation after all."

Thinking this, Lin Chang'an resolved to return and continue his closed-door cultivation.

...

Two months later.

The major powers had almost completed their sales and transactions, and flying boats were returning one by one, though White Wall City remained bustling.

But most were disciples of various forces, selling some low-tier materials that at most captivated Foundation Establishment or Core Formation cultivators.

Nascent Soul cultivators had lost interest.

And on the way back, some factions traveled together to avoid giving rival forces any opportunities.

For example, the Myriad Poison Sect traveled with Daqian, with two flying boats speeding along the way.

Inside the spirit ship.

In a tasteful pavilion, True Monarch Bingdie exuded intense cold air, which was slowly being absorbed by the demon core before her.

After a while, Lin Chang'an, slightly fatigued, stopped channeling mana, and the secret technique also ceased.

"Master Xiao's mana is truly profound and far exceeds ordinary cultivators of the same tier. It is a great aid in forming a Nascent Soul."

True Monarch Bingdie, slowly regaining her composure and opening her eyes, felt an inexplicable lightness in her body, and couldn't help but chuckle with gratitude towards Master Xiao.

Lin Chang'an cupped his hands and said, "True Monarch, you are too kind."

The other party had helped him previously, and doing such things also helped increase mutual trust, so of course, he didn't mind.

True Monarch Bingdie also reflected inwardly, thinking it's a pity he wasn't nurtured by the Sect.

Her previous words came from the heart, as the other party's mana depth was indeed rare, involving differences in cultivation techniques and even the cultivator's constitution.

Some spirit bodies also enhance mana potency.

For prolonging her healing, she was more than satisfied.

As for whether the other party's strength required caution?

Anyone below a Nascent Soul is an ant. No Nascent Soul cultivator would fear a Core Formation cultivator, unless the latter possessed great treasures, which might invoke greed.

For Lin Chang'an to plot against a Nascent Soul, he naturally needed to demonstrate his value and potential.

Otherwise, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger would be futile if he just posed as an ordinary Core Formation cultivator. His efforts to gain Sect trust or trade for Nascent Soul spiritual objects would yield twice the effort for half the result.

After all, Sect investments also look at potential. If you have good potential, you naturally receive some privileges.

"Master Xiao, you must be tired. It just so happens I procured some Fiery Blaze Delight in White Wall City. Please have a taste."

Lin Chang'an appeared as if his mana was overexerted, and True Monarch Bingdie, somewhat grateful, personally took the silver flask from her waist.

A cup of spirit wine, glowing with a red flame, poured into the glass like a red gem.

"Thank you, True Monarch."

Lin Chang'an, without pretense, smiled and, after cupping his hands, sipped the spirit wine.

As he tasted it, a hot and fiery sensation surged, clearly a kind of fierce fire attribute spirit wine, followed by a lingering aroma on the palate.

"Good wine."

After drinking it all in one gulp, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but praise it, despite the slight discomfort upon tasting, but the lingering aroma ranked in the top three of what he had experienced.

As the spirit wine warmed his insides, his mana began to recover rapidly.

The spirit wine a Nascent Soul cultivator drinks isn't purely for enjoyment; the Fiery Blaze Delight is beneficial for nourishing meridians and restoring mana.

"Master Xiao, cultivators who practice Yin Cold Techniques long-term will accumulate some Yin energy inside. Occasionally, it's necessary to balance it with corresponding attribute spiritual objects."

True Monarch Bingdie smiled, playing with her glass, but in the depths of her beautiful eyes was a trace of self-mockery.

She spoke of ordinary cultivators, and once her spirit body made any Yin Cold mana greatly nourishing. Unlike now, she had to rely on external items to dispel portions of Cold Poison within.

Lin Chang'an, feigning ignorance, nodded with a smile and agreed.

"I also have a flask of spirit wine here. Please, True Monarch, have a taste."

Saying this, Lin Chang'an took out a jade gourd crafted from Clear Spirit Jade, and after uncorking, a clear spirit wine was slowly poured into the glass.

True Monarch Bingdie smiled and nodded, accepting the goodwill, and as she slightly sipped, her expression subtly changed.

"Master Xiao is truly hidden at depths, owning such spirit wine. It must be incredibly rare, don't you think? What is it called?"

"Ice Marrow Jade Essence, made primarily from demon core and Ice Soul Master, is effective in calming the divine soul and bolstering cultivation. Although for the True Monarch, it's just a culinary delight."

Lin Chang'an said with a light laugh.

"Excellent wine, but it's a little regrettable."

True Monarch Bingdie shook her head with slight regret, clearly understanding the rarity of the wine's ingredients in the Demon Beast Abyss, let alone here.
