For the secular people, five years is not short, but the Immortal Way is long, and for cultivators, it is just the blink of an eye.
With the help of countless Spirit Pills and hard work, Lin Xuan's cultivation base has reached the Foundation Establishment Stage Second Layer. and the peak of the second layer at that.
Lin Xuan cultivation's "Nine-Heaven Profound Art" is extremely powerful and is divided into three parts: the upper, the middle, and the lower, which are suitable for the Foundation Establishment Stage, Core Formation Stage, and cultivation of the Nascent Soul Stage.
And I don't know if it's a coincidence. But each of them is divided into seven layers, which corresponds to the seven layers of each realm of cultivation.
For example, Lin Xuan is now at the second layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage, so he should also practice the second layer of the first part of the Nine-Heaven Profound Art.
When he finishes the third layer of Nine-Heaven Profound Art, then his cultivation base should enter the Foundation Establishment Middle-Stage.
One-to-one correspondence, simple and clear, and extremely powerful, even among the top-level Cultivation Methods, it's still outstanding, that is to say, Lin Xuan who cultivates the Nine-Heaven Profound Art, his strength will be better than that of same level cultivators.
A cultivator of the same realm, regardless of factors such as magical weapons, pills, Spirit Stone, etc., their strength is determined by their Cultivation Method.
For example, Ouyang Qin, the Sound Wave Technique that she practices is a very famous Top Grade Cultivation Method, so although she has the cultivation base of the Core Formation Initial Stage, she did not fall short against the Core Formation Middle-Stage Demonic Cultivator.
In addition to its power, Lin Xuan also found another benefit, this Nine-Heaven Profound Art has an amazing youth-retaining effect, Lin Xuan entered the Foundation Establishment Stage at the age of twenty, and since he began to practice this Cultivation Method, five years have passed since then, but his appearance has not changed at all, still exactly the same as when he was twenty.
Dealing with the matters at hand, Lin Xuan closed the Cave Mansion and temporarily declined foreign visitors.
Starting today. He'll try to breakthrough the Foundation Establishment Middle-Stage.
With the help of Spirit Pills, he has a great chance of achieving it. After all, it's only another layer of cultivation, which is much easier than a realm improvement.
...
Three months later.
Lin Xuan came out of the Cave Mansion, this time the advancement was smoother than imagined.
With his fist clenched, Lin Xuan was very satisfied with the current situation. At the age of 25, he reached the Foundation Establishment Middle-Stage. At this rate, it is not impossible to condense a Golden Core in the future.
A flash of light flashed across Lin Xuan's eyes as he pondered for while. In fact, according to his original intention, he did not want to leave right now, and hoped to continue his cultivation, but now. There is one thing that has to be dealt with.
In the past five years, in addition to himself, Lin Yue'er also cultivated extremely quickly.
This made Lin Xuan very happy.
But he also faced a problem. The cultivation method of the Ghost Dao that he gave to Yue'er was only obtained by accident. And is very shallow.
At this moment, for Lin Biaoer's cultivation to reach the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage. Her Ghost Dao Cultivation Method has to be completed, so she must find a new one.
Although Lin Xuan has several techniques suitable for the Foundation Establishment Stage, but Lin Yue'er has the body of a YIn Ghost. So she can only go through ghost cultivation, the ordinary cultivation methods are useless to her.
Therefore, Lin Xuan had to stop his closed-door meditation. After all, for him, if he wants to enter the Core Formation Stage, he still has a long way to go. It is better to help Lin Yue'er improve her skills first, so as to improve his own strength.
After some consideration, Lin Xuan decided to go to Heavenly Devil City.
Heavenly Devil City. As the name suggests, is a gathering place for Demonic Cultivators.
In You Prefecture, although the strength of Demonic Cultivators is not as good as Immortal Cultivators, Demonic Sects are not rare, such as the Extreme Demon Cave, Ghost Valley, and so on…
Most of these Sects are concentrated in the northern part of You Prefecture. A place called Heavenly Devil City.
The so-called Ghost Cultivation. Is in fact, basically a branch of Demonic Cultivation, so if Lin Xuan wanted to find a Suitable Method for Lin Yue'er. He could only go to Heavenly Devil City.
After making the decision, Lin Xuan packed up and set off.
Two days later, Lin Xuan came to the front of a forest and landed on the ground. Lin Xuan looked around at the surrounding.
If you wanted to go to Heavenly Devil City, this forest is a must.
But this is not a common secular forest, there are many Spirit Beasts inside.
Fortunately, he only needs to go around the edge of the forest. Most of the Spirit Beasts that haunt the periphery are of the First Level. With his own strength, there should be no problem.
After Lin Xuan thought about the situation in this forest, he flew forward without hesitation.
Along the way, he occasionally met several Demonic Cultivators. They glanced at Lin Xuan but didn't pay much attention to him. Instead, they plunged into the forest, and by looking at the situation. They probably wanted to hunt some Spirit Beasts in exchange for some Spirit Stone.
He didn't know if it was because of this, but Lin Xuan did not encounter any attacks from Spirit Beasts and arrived at the destination smoothly.
Looking at the city in front of him, it occupies a very large area. The walls are made of hard granite and exude a faint Spiritual Qi aura, a formation seems to have been placed.
Suddenly, Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed and two lights flew towards him.
"Fellow Daoist, greeting!"
A young man in a white robe with the appearance of a scholar holds a fist and salutes. Next to him is a young woman in a red dress. Judging from the closeness of the two, they're probably a Daoist Couple.
Lin Xuan also arched his hand, but his expression was very cold: "What does the couple want?"
The scholar seemed as if he was not aware, and said enthusiastically: "We couple are also going to Heavenly Devil City, how about we go together?"
Lin Xuan, who had already expected the other party's purpose, shook his head: "Sorry, I am used to being alone, and I don't like being with others."
The scholar was startled as if he did not believe that he would be rejected. And said in surprise: "So, it's brother's first time on Heavenly Devil City. Don't you know that cultivators are more dangerous here, and it's a good thing going together, as we can take care of each other? "
Not contrary to what everyone imagined, Demonic and Immortal cultivators are not incompatible with each other. These cultivators are selfish, and the city's demon guards are just for show.
However, it is undeniable that the relationship between the two sides is not really good, and they aren't pleased with each other.
So it is dangerous for a cultivator to come alone.
If it is a High-Rank Core Formation Stage cultivator, then no Demonic Cultivator would dare mess with them.
But cultivators of the Spirit Condensation Stage or the Foundation Establishment Stage are different. And finding dead Low-Rank cultivators in Heavenly Devil City is not rare.
However, the city of Heavenly Devil City, although not the largest in You Prefecture, but because it's run by Demonic Cultivators, there are often some rare goods that other markets do not have.
So although knowing that it is dangerous to buy things here, there are still a few cultivators that come here.
Of course, they also learned to be careful. After all, no one is willing to die inexplicably.
There are several situations in which cultivators come here.
It is either that he's a High-Rank cultivator of the Core Formation Stage, and it is naturally unscrupulous. As long as he does not cause trouble in Heavenly Devil City, generally speaking, there will be no problem.
And either it's a Sect's group of cultivators, even without a High-Rank cultivator, when dozens of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators walk together you'd be alright, and you wouldn't have to worry about safety.
Not to mention that it will be very laborious to kill them, and once you do it, it is equivalent to declaring war on the Sect. Demonic Cultivators are just as displeased with the Immortal Cultivators, and will naturally not do such a stupid thing.
The ones who are really worried are actually the Rogue Cultivators. They are helpless. with no tree to shelter them and without a Sect to protect them from the cold, no one will seek justice for them if they're killed.
Therefore, in general, Rogue Cultivators rarely come here, even if it is necessary to come here to buy things, they're often entangled with a number of people who are acquainted with each other in order to watch each other's backs.
This is the case with the White Robed scholar and the Woman in red. In this kind of situation, the husband and wife needed to buy something the can only be found in Heavenly Devil City, but they are only rogue cultivators. They heard of the situation here, so naturally, they dare not enter rashly, they finally met Lin Xuan a lone cultivator, but he did not expect the other party to reject his proposal without hesitation.
The scholar was startled, thinking that Lin Xuan did not understand the situation here, so he started explaining it, but Lin Xuan still indifferently declined.
"Husband, just ignore this person, he doesn't want to accept our kindness, there is always time to regret it." The woman in red was an impatient person, she narrowed her eyebrows and spoke coldly.
The white robe scholar sighed, after all, it is a foundation establishment middle-stage cultivator, he did not want to give up easily, but seeing that Lin Xuan's attitude was very determined, he hesitated a bit, he handed a talisman Paper to Lin Xuan, and said: "Us husband and wife are settled not far in front, Fellow Daoist If you change your mind, you can always use this sound transmission talisman to find me."
"Mm." Lin Xuan did not refuse this time and nodded.
"Mian Gong, let's go, what are you talking about with this kind of person?"
The woman in red stomped her feet in dissatisfaction and flew away. The white robe scholar's face showed a shy expression, he arched his hand at Lin Xuan and flew away.
Watching the two disappear into the sky, Lin Xuan's lips showed a faint smile.
The other party does not necessarily have good intentions, it is only mutual benefit, but for him, it is completely unnecessary.
Looking at the sound transmission Talisman in his hand, Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment, and instead of throwing it away, he put it in his Storage Bracelet.
