Three days later.
Lin Xuan's expression was solemn, as he struck out with a Magic Art. The squeaking Array in front of him stopped, revealing the zombie in the middle.
Compared with a few days ago, the zombie's appearance didn't seem to be any different in appearance. The only difference is that the blood-red light in its eye disappeared and was replaced by a touch of silver glow.
With a thought, the zombie immediately walked out of the circle and stood aside respectfully.
After issuing a few more instructions, the zombie also followed them without error. Lin Xuan was very delighted, this Heavenly Devil Corpse technique was truly quite magical.
Although he only reached the first level and can only use zombies of the Spirit Condensation Stage. But it's always great to have these monsters as helpers, and at the crucial moment, they can also be used as cannon fodder.
Putting it into the ghost bag, Lin Xuan took out another unrefined zombie.
With his first experience, the refinement naturally went smoother this time.
...
In a blink of an eye, a month has passed.
Lin Xuan had refined all the captured monsters, and got a total of fifteen Spirit Condensation Stage zombies, leaving only the body of the Corpse King. Of course, this monster will not move for the time being, Lin Xuan was very self-aware and knew quite well not to do such a stupid thing.
The two Magic Arts recorded in the "Profound Demon Scripture" that can improve one's strength in a short time have been practiced. Next, he will naturally give his all to increase his Spiritual Power.
After all, no matter how advanced the Magic Art is, it's also supported by Spiritual Power. For example, Lin Xuan was absolutely second to none among cultivators of the same level after mastering the Heavenly Devil Corpse technique and refining the Hundred Soul Banner. Not to mention fighting against one person, even if it's two enemies, or even three, he still has a great chance of winning.
However, if he faces a Core Formation Stage Expert, he would have no chance at fighting back at all. After all, with the other party's rea;m, their Spiritual Power is naturally far deeper. There's a truth in the saying; One force drops ten clubs.[1]
Although cultivating these two Magic Arts really does improve his strength. But it's only a temporary measure. It was also because his sect was in danger. So in order to prevent accidents, the more strength he had, the better his chances at survival.
But now, the situation has changed greatly, and the crisis of Spirit Pill Mountain has been lifted. Although Lin Xuan is not very clear about the specific situation, he only heard a few words from the two cultivators of Thunder Cloud Mountain. But the facts are facts. Since this sect is safe now, then he can rest assured and confidently cultivate.
Lin Xuan certainly wanted to condense a Golden Core, not to mention at this level, you would be respected everywhere you go. Moreover, one's lifespan would be more than twice as long as a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.
And the most important goal of him embarking on the Immortal Path is to pursue immortality.
Of course, one shouldn't bite more than they can chew, and they also mustn't be anxious on the path of immortality. Haste to achieve quick success can only be harmful and unprofitable. It is still too far away for him to condense a Golden Core.
Lin Xuan's initial goal was the Foundation Establishment Late-stage.
So the purpose of this seclusion is to enter a higher realm of cultivation.
Speaking of cultivation, it's actually a very boring process. It was nothing more than absorbing the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth and doing a Heavenly Revolution loop throughout one's body. The principle is almost the same.
It's just that different Cultivation Methods have different circulation paths, and the effects will vary greatly.
Of course, innate talent was also very important here. Such as geniuses, even if they practiced ordinary Cultivation Methods. The effects would also be extremely fast. Of course, their Spiritual Power would be less pure, and their Magic Arts slightly inferior.
There are two kinds of Top-level Cultivation Methods. One is like the "Profound Demon Scripture" which was fast and powerful. Unfortunately, the loopholes are huge, not to mention its hidden dangers. If you want to practice this Cultivation Method, unless you're a genius. You might have Qi Deviation if you're not careful!
The other is similar to "Nine Heavens Profound Art", which emphasizes a solid foundation and will not be effective in the short term. But it's very promising after mastering it, and there are no hidden dangers and loopholes.
The two Cultivation Methods have their own advantages, and of course, the disadvantages are also very obvious.
However, it just happens that they complement each other.
But this is only wishful thinking. Even if ordinary cultivators have both. They can't be practiced together.
As for Lin Xuan, who had practiced the Yin-Yang Art, he naturally does not have this problem. On the surface, his future with cultivating both Top-level Cultivation Methods is very bright.
However, every family has its own difficulties, and only he knows his own suffering. Lin Xuan's Innate Talent is a mess. Well, to be correct, he doesn't even have a Spiritual Root.
Fortunately, in the Cultivation World, innate shortcomings can be made up by constantly consuming pills. But not everybody can be that luxurious.
Spirit Medicines aren't candy. They require all kinds of heavenly materials and earthy treasures. And rare Spirit Herbs can only be obtained after a thorough refining.
But for Lin Xuan, who has the Blue Star Sea, it's naturally not a problem.
In the beginning, he joined Spirit Pill Mountain to obtain its storage of Trash Pills.
After snatching the Trash Pills that this Sect had accumulated for thousands of years. He now had nothing else but pills.
Every day, he'd first purify the pills, then enter a life of bitter cultivation.
Lin Xuan is now very familiar with purifying pills. And with the increase of Spiritual Power, the Blue Star Sea in his body was also expanded at the same time. Low-grade pills are definitely a waste of time.
Lin Xuan took Foundation Establishment Pills of at least the mid-grade, and occasionally one or two high-grade ones.
Driven by the powerful medicinal potency, coupled with Lin Xuan's extraordinarily hard work, the speed of cultivation was not that fast, but it was still very rapid.
Lin Yueer was not idle either, regardless of the little girl's beauty and delicacy, she was also very hardworking in her cultivation.
Although, with her body being that of a Yin Ghost, she couldn't take pills as a supplement, but her Innate Talent was much better, so her cultivation speed was naturally not slow!
After getting the "Profound Demon Scripture", Lin Yue'er naturally gave up on the Cultivation Method that was snatched from Mater Yin Ghost, although the "Nine Changes of Yin Ghosts" is quite extraordinary, it's quite worse than the one that both the Sky Fiend Demon Lord and Extreme Demon Venerable practice.
Not to mention that Lin Xuan also has this skill. Together, they can preform several powerful techniques.
Translator's note: A person with great power can defeat ten martial artists. All tactics are useless in the face of absolute power.
