Chapter 76 The Hidden Moon Sect! Targeted by the Robber Cultivators Again?
Level 4 monsters can be used as spirit pets.
That's a powerful ally that many Core Formation cultivators might not even have!
However, the regret was only momentary.
Lin Chuan quickly adjusted his mindset: "So be it, what's done is done, regret is useless. There will always be other opportunities in the future. At least, this 'Spirit Commander Seal' itself is an incredible gain!"
He wasn't worried at all about the potential backlash he might encounter from practicing this technique.
Unenlightened demonic beasts generally have a lower level of spiritual consciousness than human cultivators of the same level.
Lin Chuan not only specializes in the "Awakening of Insects Divine Sword," which enhances the control and attack of divine sense, but also possesses the "Great Evolution Technique," which is dedicated to strengthening and tempering divine sense.
Now, with his mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation, his spiritual sense strength far surpasses that of ordinary late-Foundation Establishment cultivators!
"With my current spiritual power, enslaving a level four demonic beast shouldn't be a problem. If I advance the Great Evolution Technique by one or two more levels, and my spiritual power surges again, perhaps... I might even have a chance to try enslaving a level five demonic beast!"
Thinking of this, Lin Chuan's heart burned with excitement again, and he completely forgot about that regret.
He memorized the cultivation method of the "Spirit Commanding Seal" and then stayed in the Spirit Beast Mountain Market for a few more days.
During this period, the daily divination results were updated, mostly indicating "minor auspiciousness," which meant that a good spiritual herb had appeared at a stall in the market, or a shop had received a new batch of decent talisman-making materials, etc.
"It seems that the opportunities in this Spirit Beast Mountain Market have come to an end."
Feeling somewhat bored, Lin Chuan decided to leave.
Markets are a melting pot of all sorts of people, and information flows quickly, making them a great place to discover opportunities.
Lin Chuan's next target is still Fangshi.
"Let's go check out the Moon-Covering Sect Market!"
He made the decision.
As the leader of the seven sects in Yue Kingdom, the Hidden Moon Sect's strength, resources, and foundation far surpass those of the other six sects. Its market must also be extraordinary, and the probability of finding high-level or unique resources is probably greater.
The Yanyue Sect's mountain gate is located in Xinzhou, the heart of the Yue Kingdom, nestled within the famous "Thousand Moon Mountains" in western Xinzhou.
The Thousand Moon Mountains have thousands of peaks of varying sizes and shapes, some resembling crescent moons and others full moons. Their rich spiritual energy is unparalleled in the Yue Kingdom, hence the name.
Based on the records in the sect's archives, Lin Chuan could easily find out the exact location of the market town.
Two days later, he successfully reached the edge of the Thousand Moon Mountains and found the entrance to the Hidden Moon Sect Market.
The moment Lin Chuan stepped inside, his eyes lit up.
Compared to the simplicity of Huangfeng Valley Market and the "insect and beast atmosphere" of Ling Shou Mountain Market, Yan Yue Sect Market has its own unique style.
The streets are paved with pure white jade, and the shops and pavilions on both sides have upturned eaves and carved beams and painted rafters. The decorations are mainly in elegant colors such as moon white, light purple and light blue, and are adorned with tassels, light gauze and bright pearls, making them look exquisite and beautiful.
The air seemed to be filled with a faint, refreshing fragrance.
What's even more striking is that most of the monks walking through the market, regardless of gender, are outstanding in appearance and have an extraordinary air about them.
The men were mostly handsome and dashing, while the women were either aloof, charming, or lively, and their clothing was more exquisite, perfectly complementing the beautiful environment.
"As expected of the number one sect in Yue Kingdom, its aura is truly extraordinary." Lin Chuan thought to himself, while also becoming more vigilant. There must be even more experts here, so he needed to proceed with extreme caution.
Instead of immediately wandering around, he first found the most impressive and quiet-looking inn and checked in with Qu Hun. He would wait until the divination results were updated the next day before making any further plans.
The next morning, Lin Chuan, who was meditating, sensed golden light floating before his eyes right on time.
Today's divination result: Minor good fortune.
[The divination reads: Today, while strolling through the market of the Hidden Moon Sect, your Foundation Establishment cultivation attracted the attention of a Qi Refining female cultivator from the Hidden Moon Sect. She offered you a night of passion in exchange for thirty spirit stones...]
"Pah!" Lin Chuan almost spat out the words when he saw the divination text, and his expression turned strange.
What kind of "minor good fortune" is this? I even have to pay thirty spirit stones out of my own pocket?!
"These female cultivators are truly ignorant!"
Looking at the "Great Fortune" hexagram, Lin Chuan was speechless.
It even felt a little absurd.
He sought the path to immortality.
It is a combination of power and opportunity.
He had absolutely no interest in this unexpected "romantic encounter," let alone having to pay spirit stones for it.
He only wanted to cultivate himself in peace.
avoid unnecessary trouble.
"Today, I will meditate and cultivate in seclusion here in this inn, and go nowhere else!"
Lin Chuan made up his mind to simply stay at home and completely cut off any possibility of a one-night stand.
He could take this opportunity to sort out what he had learned recently and comprehend the "Spirit Summoning Seal".
The day passed peacefully and calmly.
The next morning, the new divination result arrived as expected.
Today's divination indicates a slightly inauspicious outcome.
[The divination reads: Today you went to the largest shop in the Hidden Moon Sect's market, Thousand Moon Pavilion, on the fifth floor. There you encountered a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Hidden Moon Sect. This person has his eye on you and intends to do something wicked...]
"Um?"
Lin Chuan frowned.
Doubts arose in my mind.
"Little Fierce? He was targeted by a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Hidden Moon Sect in the largest shop in the market?"
He had no acquaintances or enemies in the Hidden Moon Sect, so why was he being targeted for no reason?
Could it be a Tribulation Cultivator?
But cultivators usually hide in the shadows and act furtively, so why would they appear so blatantly in such a prominent position in the sect's largest shop?
Did they specifically target a Foundation Establishment cultivator who was "newly arrived" from another region?
Although they were not afraid to fight against late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, this was ultimately the territory of the Hidden Moon Sect.
If the other party truly has malicious intentions, they are likely not alone, or they may have someone to rely on.
Even a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Conflict with the other side in this area is extremely risky and involves too many variables.
"Enough, this is no place to linger. Since the divination indicates danger and the objective is unclear, it's better to withdraw as soon as possible."
Lin Chuan made a quick decision and abandoned his original idea of visiting Qian Yue Pavilion.
He decided to leave Xinzhou immediately and head to Yuanwu Kingdom.
On the one hand, he could temporarily avoid this inexplicable "little evil," and on the other hand, he happened to have the Golden-backed Demon Mantis's pair of mantis-like forelimbs, which were of the highest quality, and he needed to find a skilled weapon refiner to forge them into a handy magic weapon.
The cultivation world in Yuanwu Kingdom is also prosperous, and it borders Yue Kingdom, making travel convenient. Perhaps a suitable weapon-refining shop can be found there.
Having made up his mind, Lin Chuan didn't delay any longer. He settled the bill and, with the silent, black-robed Qu Hun by his side, headed straight for the market exit.
The exit of the Hidden Moon Sect Market is also equipped with an illusion array, but it is larger in scale and more impressive.
Just as Lin Chuan was about to step into the exit illusion array passage, three figures walked into the market from the outside.
The newcomers were all dressed in the moon-white robes that were the hallmark of the Hidden Moon Sect; there were two men and one woman.
The leader was a handsome young man of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He had a face like jade, eyes like bright stars, and a faint, reserved smile on his lips. His aura was deep and heavy, indicating that he was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!
Behind him followed a man and a woman. The man had a slightly effeminate appearance, while the woman was beautiful with bright, lively eyes. Both of them were at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
The three entered together, exuding an extraordinary air, clearly disciples of considerable status within the Hidden Moon Sect.
Lin Chuan remained calm, his gaze unwavering, and led Qu Hun past the three of them, heading towards the edge of the market.
However, just as the two passed each other, the handsome young man in the lead glanced at Lin Chuan's face, and his originally casual and composed eyes suddenly flashed with an extremely subtle but exceptionally clear look of surprise!
The look of surprise was fleeting, so quick it was almost an illusion.
But with Lin Chuan's keen senses and his inherent vigilance, he immediately noticed this anomaly.
"It was him?"
A thought, tinged with a hint of coldness and amusement, seemed to flash through the mind of the handsome young man.
He didn't stop walking, and his expression quickly returned to normal, as if the surprise he had just felt had never happened.
Lin Chuan's mind raced, but his footwork remained steady, maintaining a calm pace, and he quickly distanced himself from the three men.
Then, he and Qu Hun disappeared into the illusionary array of light at the market exit.
Stepping out of the illusion array, one finds oneself in the refreshing mountain forests at the edge of the Thousand Moon Mountains.
Near the entrance to the market.
The handsome young man at the head of the group paused slightly after passing Lin Chuan, then whispered an instruction to the two behind him:
"Junior Brother Wang, Junior Sister Li, please go to Qianyue Pavilion and wait for me. I will be there shortly."
