Chapter 32 The Legacy of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!
He bid farewell to the patriarch and left the Hall of Affairs.
Lin Jie gave Lin Chuan a deep look, his eyes filled with complex emotions. Finally, he snorted coldly, mounted his magical artifact, and left alone, clearly unwilling to travel with Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan didn't care about this at all and went straight back to his small courtyard in Xuankun Mountain.
Activate the formation to isolate the inside from the outside.
Since I've decided to go to the Crimson Forbidden Land, I definitely can't take Foundation Establishment Pills and go into seclusion to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage right now.
His cultivation had reached the perfect thirteenth level of Qi Refining, and there was no further advancement.
In terms of magical artifacts, he has the Azure Cloud Sword (top-tier), the Azure Dragon Flag (top-tier premium), the Golden Light Shield, the Ink Scale Armor, the Spirit Binding Rope, the Silver Moon Hook, and the flying sword talisman treasure that even Lin Jie would envy, as well as the Imprisoning Dragon Ring (top-tier premium for trapping enemies) obtained from the leader of the plundering cultivators.
It has all kinds of magical artifacts for attack, defense, trapping enemies, and ambushes, and they are all of extremely high quality.
Their trump cards include the Golden Spear Talisman (already used once) and the Heavenly Thunder Spear (a powerful weapon).
The reserves of elixirs, talismans, and spirit stones are also quite abundant.
The hardware is almost impeccable.
"Then let's continue to improve the software," Lin Chuan muttered to himself.
The "Awakening of Insects Divine Sword" is a powerful and difficult-to-defend divine sense technique.
It is Lin Chuan's weapon for defeating the enemy.
Currently, at the second level, one can condense nine divine consciousness spikes, which can be released at once with astonishing power, but also consume a great deal of divine consciousness.
After one use, it requires several hours of rest and recovery before it can be used again.
If one can break through to the third level, not only can one condense more and more solid spiritual spikes, but one may also be able to control them more precisely, and even—achieve the ability to launch two effective attacks in a short period of time.
Even if the second attack is slightly less powerful, it is still enough to secure victory in a life-or-death battle.
The next goal is to go all out to break through to the third level of the "Awakening of Insects Divine Sword"!
He sat cross-legged, the Soul Jade on his chest radiating a warm glow that nourished his consciousness.
Just as he was preparing to concentrate on his cultivation, a familiar fluctuation came from the restrictions outside the courtyard.
Lin Chuan got up, walked to the courtyard gate, and removed the formation.
Standing outside the door was none other than Han Li.
"Junior Brother Han?" Lin Chuan was somewhat surprised. "What brings you here?"
Han Li cupped his hands, his face as calm as ever, and explained, "Senior Brother Lin, didn't you say yesterday that you would come to see me in the next couple of days? I waited all night last night, but you didn't come."
I plan to go to the market today to buy some medicinal herbs. I'm letting you know so I won't be absent when you look for me.
Lin Chuan was taken aback, then suddenly realized.
Thinking back to yesterday, in order to stop Han Li from going out, he did say, "I might come again tonight."
Later, I was busy with the affairs of Xiripo and digesting the harvest, and completely forgot about this matter.
A perfectly timed hint of embarrassment appeared on his face as he smiled and said, "So that's what it is. I was suddenly caught up in some trivial matters yesterday, so I got delayed."
Actually, I don't have anything particularly urgent to do; it's just some common questions about alchemy, nothing urgent. Since Junior Brother Han has something to do, he should go to the market first, and we can ask him questions later when we have time.
Han Li nodded, but his eyes quickly swept over Lin Chuan, a hint of doubt flashing across his face.
He sensed that Senior Brother Lin's complexion and spirit seemed even more vibrant today than yesterday, with a subtle sense of completeness and harmony, and moreover—
He seems to be in a good mood?
However, he didn't think much of it. It's common for cultivators to feel happy when they occasionally make a breakthrough or get a lucky break.
"In that case, junior brother, you shall go ahead first."
Han Li said no more, cupped his hands in farewell, turned around and mounted the inconspicuous leaf-shaped magic artifact, flying towards the market outside the mountain gate.
Lin Chuan stood at the courtyard gate, watching Han Li's unassuming and ordinary figure disappear into the distance.
Suddenly, a thought stirred in his mind, and a faint golden light flashed in his eyes—the Mysterious Eye quietly began to operate.
Looking through this newly acquired secret technique, a hint of surprise flashed in Lin Chuan's eyes.
A faint, yet exceptionally solid, aura of vitality and rich spiritual energy, enveloped Han Li.
!
The purity and depth of this precious light far surpassed that of ordinary Qi Refining cultivators, and it was even purer than the precious light emitted from the personal belongings of many wealthy Foundation Establishment cultivators he had seen!
"really----"
Lin Chuan thought to himself.
The Mysterious Eyes certainly cannot see through the power of the Little Green Bottle, a treasure that defies the laws of time and space.
But this treasure is mostly from the "goods" that Han Li plans to sell at the market this time.
For the Xuanji Eye to be able to sense something like this, it must be at least several rare spiritual herbs of astonishing age, each of which could be worth thousands of spirit stones!
No wonder Han Li was able to repeatedly find bargains and purchase powerful magical artifacts and talismans in the market in the original work.
This capital is truly substantial.
"However, I've already bought the Heavenly Thunder Seed in advance. I wonder what good things Junior Brother Han will find on this trip to the market?"
Lin Chuan shook his head, dismissing his curiosity.
Opportunities are for everyone; you can't just envy them.
Han Li has his Heavenly Bottle, and he also has the Golden Finger of Divination; each has their own destiny.
He turned and walked back to the quiet room, closed the stone door, and activated the formation.
The most urgent task is to enhance our own strength.
Calm your mind and eliminate distracting thoughts.
Lin Chuan devoted all his energy to cultivating the third level of the "Awakening of Insects Divine Sword".
Inside the Shen Ting acupoint, nine pale golden spikes slowly rotated, attempting to further split and condense under his mental control.
Time stands still in the mountains, and years pass without limit in spiritual practice.
In the blink of an eye, three months have passed quietly.
On this day, in the quiet room, Lin Chuan, who was sitting cross-legged, trembled slightly, and a faint golden light flashed and disappeared between his brows.
He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze gleaming with a profound and subtle sharpness that seemed to pierce the heart.
"The third floor is complete."
A slight smile appeared on Lin Chuan's lips.
Inside the Shen Ting acupoint, the original nine divine consciousness spikes have disappeared, replaced by eighteen even smaller, yet condensed, pale gold-colored divine consciousness creations!
They floated silently, with a mysterious connection between them, seemingly able to separate and reunite at will.
Not only have the number doubled, but the refinement and sharpness of each "divine needle" far surpasses the spikes of the second layer.
More importantly, Lin Chuan felt that his control over them had become more precise and meticulous, and the total amount of spiritual energy and its recovery speed had also significantly improved.
Now, he can launch two effective "Awakening of Insects Divine Sword" attacks in a row, instead of falling into a prolonged state of weakness after just one attack, as he had done before.
The benefits of enhanced spiritual awareness are comprehensive.
During combat, one's senses become more acute, one's presence becomes more difficult to detect when concealing one's aura, one can survey the environment with a wider range and clearer details, and one can manipulate multiple magical artifacts more smoothly and accurately.
For the past three months, he has hardly left his home, devoting himself to cultivation.
Because the activity area is fixed, the daily updated divination results are mostly "minor auspicious," indicating that a few more ordinary spiritual herbs have been discovered somewhere on the back mountain of Xuankun Mountain.
Or it might be something trivial, like a fellow disciple having an unused talisman to sell at a low price. Lin Chuan would occasionally handle these matters, just for fun, but most of the time he would simply ignore them.
"The opening of the Crimson Forbidden Land is drawing ever closer."
Lin Chuan got up and stretched his slightly stiff body.
Although his cultivation level did not improve by the end of the three months of seclusion, his spiritual sense techniques broke through, and his strength was improved to some extent.
"It's time to make one last purchase at the market, to fill any gaps in my inventory. While I'm at it, I'll see if I can encounter any other opportunities suggested by 'Mysterious Pupil'."
The thought had just crossed his mind.
A golden light suddenly appeared before my eyes, and today's divination was updated:
Today's divination result: Very auspicious.
[The divination reads: On your way to the market, you encountered Chen Qiaoqian and her brother. They invited you to travel together. To avoid prolonged contact that might remind Chen Qiaoqian of what happened that night, you took a detour. When you passed a mountain peak (Mingling Peak) with an array set up, you discovered a corpse and obtained the cultivator's storage bag.]
"Great luck!" Lin Chuan's spirits lifted.
The divination clearly points to a detour route, and the opportunity lies at "Mingling Peak," which mentions "a mountain peak with array formations" and "a corpse."
Within Yellow Maple Valley, those who can occupy a spiritual peak on their own and set up formations as their cave dwelling and training ground are at least Foundation Establishment stage cultivators!
Qi Refining stage disciples are all like those on Xuankun Mountain, concentrated on mountain peaks with decent spiritual energy, each with their own independent courtyard.
The corpse that might be a Foundation Establishment cultivator from a sect? And the storage bag he left behind?
A glint of light flashed in Lin Chuan's eyes.
"We absolutely have to go check this out!"
