Huo Yun was cultivating her inner energy. Her enormous snake body emitted a crimson light, making her bright red snake scales appear as if they were blood-red, creating a sea of crimson light.
The surging spiritual energy constantly converged and formed specks of sparks, swirling around her and disappearing into her.
Although there is a scene of surging spiritual energy.
However, it could not conceal its decadent and listless appearance.
"It seems I overexerted myself. My energy hasn't recovered even after all this time. I should do less next time, otherwise I might cripple Huo Yun, which would be a huge loss for me."
Lin Xiuyuan looked at the scene, lost in thought.
Huo Yun's scheme against Wu Chengfeng relied on activating the Black Fire Eye within the Spirit Beast Bag.
Being inside the spirit beast pouch, it cannot absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and can only activate itself using its own essence and spiritual energy.
It's easy to imagine how much energy was consumed.
It would have taken at least half of Huo Yun's life.
The injuries were even more severe than those sustained in the battle with Han Chenhua, because they damaged his very essence and blood. The energy required to activate the ancient treasure at the Foundation Establishment stage was far too great.
Upon his return, Lin Xiuyuan immediately prepared numerous elixirs and rare medicinal herbs for him to strengthen his constitution, heal his injuries, and so on.
Even after more than five years of seclusion, his vital energy was still so weak, which shows how serious the damage was.
"This servant greets Master. Congratulations on successfully reaching the Purple Mansion stage and perfecting the Refining Essence into Qi. With the second major realm ahead, your path to immortality is truly promising!"
They felt Lin Xiuyuan's divine sense calling them.
Huo Yun slowly stopped practicing her internal energy, spoke in human language, and respectfully offered her congratulations.
"He successfully broke through to the Purple Mansion stage. The opportunities he has encountered are probably extraordinary... Perhaps, becoming one of his spirit beasts wouldn't be a bad idea, a viable path to higher realms!"
Huo Yun's indifferent and cold vertical pupils reflected Lin Xiuyuan's composed figure, and she sighed inwardly.
Although he never witnessed Lin Xiuyuan's rise from humble beginnings, he followed Lin Xiuyuan around ever since he left Beihefang City.
Lin Xiuyuan was quite careful about keeping his personal life private, showing no signs of it being revealed.
However, as a spirit beast that has been by your side for many years, you can tell a lot about it from its words and actions.
Those breakthrough experiences, cultivation time, resources consumed, and so on, cannot be hidden.
But that's precisely why.
Seeing Lin Xiuyuan walk towards them step by step, they realized he had already entered the perfect realm of the first major stage of cultivation.
Now, as a prodigy of the Cloud Soaring Sect, he is almost the most promising candidate to win the top spot.
Although his current position isn't particularly high, judging from his past experiences, he has risen from humble beginnings and is now about to reach a high rank, soon to be part of the core cultivation sequence of the Cloud Soaring Sect. His future path to immortality is likely to be anything but simple.
This eased some of the inner turmoil in Huo Yun's heart.
Of course, there is another very important reason.
That means they signed a master-servant contract and had no choice at all.
Therefore, Huo Yun was simply conflicted... because, for her, there was no other choice at all!
If there is even the slightest sign of dissent, it will be easily detected by the other party.
Now that the slight hesitation in her heart has dissipated, Huo Yun realizes that being a spirit beast for someone like Lin Xiuyuan is actually quite good.
With a figure like Lin Xiuyuan, who rose from humble beginnings to a high position, his path to immortality is bright... He will surely become a prominent figure in the future!

…………
After tidying up the cave, he went to the herb garden. Some of the spiritual plants he had planted earlier were over a hundred years old, but they were no longer suitable for Lin Xiuyuan. Exchanging them for some resources would be a good idea.
The secluded realm, with its superior environment, allowed Lin Xiuyuan's cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds, reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment at a speed far exceeding his expectations.
As Wang Yangshan said, the early opening of the Hengyang Secret Realm is terrible news for the cultivation world of Great Yue.
But for their generation of disciples, it was an incredible opportunity!
Otherwise, it would probably take another ten or twenty years to break through to the Purple Mansion stage!
After packing his things, Lin Xiuyuan headed straight for the main peak.
There are still many things to prepare before going into seclusion to solidify one's cultivation level.
First, one must learn and master the Lingxiao Talisman Dao and the Xue Family Secret Talisman within the Inheritance Seal.
Secondly, there's the matter of resource acquisition, which is mostly for the three spirit beasts. He needs to stabilize his realm for the time being, so he doesn't need any extra resources.
Bringing three spirit beasts into the Spirit Spring Cave was an extremely unwise choice.
Because the spiritual spring is a branch, not a complete one, it needs to be sealed for two hundred years to achieve its best effect, and is only for one person to cultivate.
In such circumstances, it is most suitable to cultivate alone.
But Lin Xiuyuan didn't care about that.
Because of his five spiritual roots... if he cultivates alone in the Spirit Spring Cave, he simply cannot refine such surging and pure spiritual energy. He can probably use about one or two tenths of it, and the rest is almost a waste.
Under such circumstances, it would be best to have the three spirit beasts cultivate together.
With the sect's resources being allocated to them, they can begin large-scale cultivation of Yin Spirit White Birds, turning them into combat power as soon as possible, and also preparing for future breakthroughs in their cultivation realm.
And to cultivate the Blue Fantasy Butterfly as soon as possible.
If this process yields no results within sixty years, Lin Xiuyuan will consider giving up and focusing his attention elsewhere, such as cultivating other spirit beasts.
A cultivator's soul contracts are limited.
Only beast tamers can contract a large number of spirit beasts.
Ordinary cultivators, without specific cultivation techniques, find it difficult to contract too many spirit beasts; the specific number and quality depend on the cultivator's own cultivation level.
The number of Yin Spirit White Birds is about to increase rapidly. Considering both the number of contracts and the number of manipulations, it is estimated that the capacity will be exceeded, leaving no room for contracting other spirit beasts.
We have to consider the future development of the Blue Illusion Butterfly; if it doesn't work, we'll have to give up!
Lin Xiuyuan flew on his sword to the location of the Lingxiao lineage's scripture pavilion.
"The Heavenly Wind Talisman is a secret talisman of the Xue family, and its level is very high. Its limit can reach around the mid-to-high grade level, which is enough to support my use until the mid-stage of the Purple Talisman. Therefore, there is no need to learn too many attack talismans. Prepare one or two talismans, and use the rest to make up for and replace the Heavenly Ice Talisman, Rock Shield Talisman, etc..."
"Moreover, once you reach the Purple Mansion stage, the power of talismans undergoes profound changes, unlike previous talismans which were simply for offense or defense, requiring careful selection,"
Lin Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and quickly decided on the direction of spiritual talismans he would cultivate next.
Because it requires the use of the subtleties of the purple talisman, it cannot be easily altered. By accumulating the overflowing purple light, one can reach the ultimate state and thus enhance combat power and acquire resources.
Unlike other talisman masters who can freely change the talismans they've learned, resulting only in slight fluctuations in success rates and perhaps some income, this method doesn't have a significant impact.
Each of Lin Xiuyuan's spiritual talismans required a considerable amount of energy and time to accumulate.
Making changes arbitrarily will naturally waste a lot of energy and time, requiring you to start over.
We should be more cautious about this.
