Taking advantage of the master’s mana still within her, she could unleash her strongest cultivation talent. She dared not delay for even a mont, and imdiately sat cross-legged to begin her cultivation.
During the ti Lin Chang’an was in seclusion, Five Dragons Island was bustling with excitent.
After a Core Formation phenonon erged from the Long Family, it further stirred turmoil.
Many of the Long Family’s old enemies took this opportunity for revenge.
Outside were the scheming Profound Yin Demon Sect, and these enemies of the Long Family; inside were the Profound Sound Pavilion and two major families that didn’t want the Long Family to continue their dominance, as well as large sects.
And there were countless cultivators trying to take advantage of the situation and get a share of the spoils.
One could say that the Long Family’s century-long dominance, after falling from power, faced the biggest backlash.
Even Lin Chang’an, who was in seclusion, frequently received invitations. So were high-priced requests to break arrays, or to purchase formation arrays.
Obviously, those wanting the arrays broken were targeting the Long Family’s arrays, and those purchasing arrays were mostly looking to get a share.
But all were declined by the Sword Servant with the excuse of seclusion.
...
Ti flew like a shuttle, and two years passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the Earthfire Cavern, Lin Chang’an was sitting cross-legged on the Fusang Divine Tree, cultivating with his eyes tightly closed.
Silken strands of purged black qi from the divine tree around him were slowly absorbed into Lin Chang’an’s body.
"Body Refining Tier Two!"
With a burst of powerful montum flashing and passing, Lin Chang’an slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of green qi.
"Training under demonic qi indeed speeds up progress imnsely."
Body refining was originally a slow process, like water dripping on stone, but under the aid of purified demonic qi, he finally broke through the bottleneck of body refining.
The early stage of Tier Two Body Refining is equivalent to the early stage of Foundation Establishnt for a body cultivator.
He even possessed Spirit Root aptitude!
Lin Chang’an raised his hand, and the magic disc used to test Spirit Root hanging on the tree branch beside the Fusang Tree fell into his palm.
As he infused his mana into it, the blue mana surged all the way, breaking through the Middle Grade Spirit Root, reaching the scale region of Upper Grade Spirit Root.
Though it just reached the Upper Grade Spirit Root scale, it proved the effectiveness of demonic qi in enhancing Spirit Root aptitude.
"I’m no longer the Low Grade Spirit Root I used to be."
On seeing his Spirit Root aptitude breakthrough, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but let out a long howl, startling the Phoenix Cry Bird to open its eyes.
The bird looked at its master in astonishnt, wondering why he suddenly beca so abnormal.
Perhaps at this mont, only his Sword Servant might understand his feelings aside from himself.
After all, the two had similar experiences, one being a Martial Dao genius in the Mortal Realm, the other a prodigy in the initial cultivation stage.
But one fell into despair after failing the Spirit Root test, and the other beca disheartened after a resolution of the Human-Demon hybrid bloodline following a Foundation Establishnt breakthrough.
The bitterness of it all is known only to oneself.
"Upper Grade Spirit Root!"
In the complicated emotions of Lin Chang’an, mories of the past flashed through his mind.
The last ti he took a Spirit Supplent Pill, he tested once. His Spirit Root aptitude was just a hair away from reaching Upper Grade.
A tiny discrepancy, a thousand miles of error.
Even a slight margin makes it still a Middle Grade Spirit Root.
But precisely because of this, he could cleanse his Spirit Root aptitude with demonic qi in two years, reaching the Upper Grade Spirit Root.
"I am rely a freshly ford Core Cultivator, far from a ti to beco complacent."
After the excitent, Lin Chang’an cald down, constantly reminding himself not to beco too conceited.
This purified demonic qi does have the effect of cleansing Spirit Root aptitude, but it occurs gradually.
Don’t be fooled by the results in two years, as he was only a hair away, making it seem faster.
According to his two-year cultivation experience, relying on this purified demonic qi to cleanse the Spirit Root for an Earth Spirit Root breakthrough might take over a hundred years.
[Life Span: 151//600]
[Realm: Core Golden Early Stage (8/100)]
Seeing his lifespan, Lin Chang’an’s expression turned serious.
"At one hundred fifty-one years old, it seems I need to prepare for Pill Formation."
During Reincarnation Cultivation, when the pill liquefies, the cultivation will temporarily drop, and the life span will not remain six hundred years.
Therefore, the Pill Formation Secret Technique must be done in the body’s best condition.
"Due to cultivating the Wood Attribute Technique, my life span exceeds that of ordinary cultivators, but it’s still best to complete Pill Formation before two hundred, otherwise, the older the age, the higher the failure chances."
Lin Chang’an’s eyes flickered, contemplating this defying secret technique of Reincarnation Cultivation, where cultivation falls and then remakes the Core.
It damages the Primordial Energy, naturally laden with restrictions.
Otherwise, so many Golden Core Cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation Realm wouldn’t dread the Pill Formation Secret Technique like a tiger.
Only so Fake Pill Cultivators with no paths left would gamble on it.
"The impact on the Pill Formation Secret Technique also involves Spirit Root, but with my current Upper Grade Spirit Root aptitude, it’s enough."
Lin Chang’an’s eyes deepened, secretly pondering.
The enhancent of Spirit Root aptitude also adds to Pill Formation.
Like Core Formation, the more outstanding a cultivator’s Spirit Root aptitude, the higher the probability of forming a high-quality Core.
"An Upper Grade Spirit Root already qualifies for condensing an Immortal Golden Core, but the difficulty is enormous; it’s best to take things one step at a ti."
With imnse opportunity at hand, he naturally wouldn’t blindly take risks.
The quality of a Golden Core brings more potential, purer mana, and a higher chance to ascend to Nascent Soul compared to ordinary Core Formation.
It’s not a guaranteed ticket to Nascent Soul.
Even with a Celestial Spirit Root, it only ans swift cultivation with no bottlenecks before Core Formation, but it doesn’t assure Nascent Soul Formation.
Be aware, the final hurdle of the Nascent Soul Tribulation, the ’Heart Demon Tribulation,’ pays no heed to aptitude or mana.
