Lin Xiuyuan entered the cultivation chamber, took out a spiritual ginseng that was over four thousand years old, and held it tightly in both hands.
However, the refining process was not started immediately.
Lin Xiuyuan slowly closed his eyes, first adjusting his slightly fluctuating state of mind.
He wasn't stupid; he certainly knew Qin Suwan's feelings for him.
However, he didn't seem to care much about it.
Perhaps, I have thought about this matter unintentionally in the past.
No one is without feelings; after spending a long time together, there will inevitably be some.
After all, a beauty like Qin Suwan is naturally beautiful, stunningly gorgeous, and like a fairy.
While his talent for cultivation wasn't exceptional, he was still considered a genius.
While conserving resources, he has been able to steadily cultivate to this level, and is not far from the thirteenth level of Qi Refining. Not to mention that achieving the Foundation Establishment stage is a sure thing, he has more than a 50% chance of doing so.
In the world of cultivation, Qin Suwan is not only a goddess, but also a fairy beauty, and the dream partner of countless cultivators.
The importance of a Daoist partner—in terms of wealth, methods, companions, and environment—is self-evident. They mutually reinforce each other's Daoist practices, support each other during seclusion, and assist each other in seizing opportunities… For a cultivator, having a like-minded Daoist partner is a rare and precious thing.
Working together on the path of immortal cultivation, the opportunity for dual cultivation yields twice the results with half the effort.
If Lin Xiuyuan had successfully broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage before, he would have given this matter some consideration.
However, the foundation could not be established in the end.
This journey is fraught with peril, so why delay the arrival of your beloved?
However, even after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, there's still the path to the higher realms. Moreover, the secrets he carries are too great to risk being revealed…
Lin Xiuyuan shook his head, cleared his mind of distractions, and slowly refined the spirit ginseng in his hand.
The purple talisman is mysterious, but I only seek immortality through cultivation!
...
Since Lin Xiuyuan arrived in Linnan County, the third auction had just concluded, which he had missed due to his previous seclusion. However, only about a year had passed, and the excitement still lingered.
Therefore, there are many small auctions in the city, almost every month.
Therefore, Lin Xiuyuan would make a harvest every few months. Normally, if he wanted to buy a spiritual herb that was thousands of years old, or a spiritual plant like the Spirit Flower Ginseng or Blood Ganoderma, which contained a vast amount of pure spiritual energy and was free of impurities, he would probably have to wait for one or two years to encounter one.
During this period, Lin Xiuyuan carefully selected a top-tier spirit shield. Although Lin Xiuyuan now has three talismans that have reached top-tier power, the water magic talisman is only a talisman that combines offense and defense, and its ability to simply protect is obviously not enough.
The protective effect of a top-tier spirit shield can easily withstand the attacks of a Great Perfection cultivator. Its protective power is comparable to some low-tier magic artifacts. It is expensive and cost tens of thousands of spirit stones to acquire.
The Flowing Cloud Shield was of a lower grade and could not withstand the power of a Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator.
Its ability to protect its master is still quite useful, and it's excellent at fending off sneak attacks. Lin Xiuyuan decided to stay behind, just in case.
As for offensive magical weapons, no suitable ones have been found. Although top-tier magical swords are not uncommon and are mostly mainstream, it can be said that every large merchant guild always has a few on hand for sale.
Most cultivators use spirit swords to fight enemies. They are extremely versatile, allowing one to fly on a sword or kill enemies with a sword. They are agile and graceful, yet their swords are sharp.
Among the many offensive magical weapons, it is also one of the most powerful, suitable for many general sword techniques, making it the first choice for cultivators.
However, Lin Xiuyuan already possessed a high-level spirit sword, and since he primarily relied on talismans for defense, there was no need for him to replace it with a top-tier spirit sword. What he needed was an offensive spirit weapon with other unique uses, one that could significantly enhance his combat prowess, rather than a mere substitute.
Therefore, every time Lin Xiuyuan went to Linnan County, he would keep an eye out for attack magic weapons, but he never found any he needed.
He then focused his attention on rare and precious herbs.
Thus, in the past two years, Lin Xiuyuan failed twice in his attempts to break through the Foundation Establishment Pill, but the impact of the pill's immense medicinal power greatly improved the condensation and refinement of his dantian's magical power, bringing him close to the twelfth level.
In the past two years, he has collected nearly ten spiritual herbs that are thousands of years old, and finally advanced his cultivation to the twelfth level of Qi Refining.
Once you reach this level, further improvement is clearly not as simple as acquiring ten or twenty rare spiritual items.
There was simply no time to wait, so Lin Xiuyuan decisively abandoned the idea and focused all his energy on making talismans.
In the past two years, apart from making some high-level talismans to sell and barely making ends meet, he has been stockpiling a large number of talismans for future use.
After reaching the twelfth level of cultivation, Lin Xiuyuan immediately packed his bags.
With only a few years left until the sixty-year mark, I must hurry and seek out high-quality Foundation Establishment Pills.
After tidying everything up in the study, Lin Xiuyuan thought for a moment, took out an empty Qiankun bag, and put most of the spirit stones he had on him into it, about 100,000.
As he stepped out of the study, Huo Yun was already waiting outside the door.
Lin Xiuyuan patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist, which shimmered with a faint light. Huo Yun glanced at Lin Xiuyuan, then took a step forward, her figure gradually shrinking as she entered the spirit beast pouch.
Lin Xiuyuan glanced at the small courtyard, a hint of melancholy in his expression. He stood there for a while before finally walking towards the front shop.
today.
Qin Suwan did not, as usual, take the jade slip and read her cultivation insights. Instead, she sat quietly, her expression shifting between light and shadow, seemingly tinged with sorrow.
She had already sensed something was amiss, and now that she felt Lin Xiuyuan slowly approaching, her heart was filled with turmoil and she felt a sense of unease.
Qin Suwan calmly raised her head and looked at Lin Xiuyuan, who slowly walked to the counter. It was as if a huge stone was stuck in her heart. Her eyes were like autumn water, and her pupils suddenly contracted, revealing the unease in her heart.
