At this point, the situation unexpectedly changed.
The Yinlin Beast below seems to be very intelligent.
It sensed the power of the Nascent Soul Talisman in Fairy Nanhua's hand and the threat it posed to it.
So the beast bravely broke free from the restraints of the three phantom firebirds and was about to dive into the deep sea to escape.
"Dream on! Since you're here, you'll stay here with me! I may not be able to kill you, but keeping you alive is no problem for me!"
"Taiyi Sword Formation!"
Lu Xuan unleashed the highest form of the sword control technique he had obtained: the Shadow Splitting Sword Formation.
This is a trap formation.
It can temporarily trap cultivators or demonic beasts in the late stage of Core Formation.
Lu Xuan's flying sword multiplied, then multiplied into two, then three, then hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands...
In an instant, countless flying sword phantoms formed an extremely ingenious trapping sword formation, like an indestructible cage, trapping the Yin Scale Beast that wanted to escape inside.
"Lu Daoyou's methods are excellent," Tianji Sanren exclaimed in surprise.
The Five Poisons Master also showed a hint of envy and admiration.
Looking at Fairy Nanhua again, after about a dozen breaths, the jade talisman in her hand suddenly shone with spiritual light, and a phantom of a jade axe instantly appeared before everyone's eyes.
The power of this item has actually reached the peak of the late Core Formation stage! It is very close to the power of the Nascent Soul stage.
"Truly worthy of being a Nascent Soul talisman! We have truly broadened our horizons," Tianji Sanren and Wudu Shangren praised.
Lu Xuan seemed to be deep in thought about this.
"go!"
Fairy Nanhua pointed with one hand.
The jade axe phantom in mid-air instantly transformed into a giant axe phantom several dozen feet in size, and slashed down on the Yin Scale Beast's body below.
Lu Xuan had already perfectly timed his withdrawal from the sword formation.
"Ooh~"
The howling of the Yinlin Beast could be heard.
In an instant, the beast's blood stained the sea for miles around.
"It's done."
"I'm going to retrieve the demon core!"
Among them, the more experienced Tianji Sanren dived into the sea, intending to retrieve the demon core, so as to make his presence known.
Seeing this, the Five Poisons Master felt embarrassed to watch the spectacle, so he flew down with them.
Strangely, the two of them didn't come up from the sea for half an hour after they went in.
Fairy Nanhua and Lu Xuan knew that they were in trouble.
As expected, Lu Xuan used all his divine sense and finally discovered that Tianji Sanren and the other person were trapped by the Yinlin Beast that had not completely perished, and the two were in a standoff.
Unfortunately, Fairy Nanhua's talisman has already been used up.
"Flying sword, slash."
Lu unleashed his flying sword and launched a flurry of slashes.
Fortunately, the Yinlin Beast in front of him was seriously injured and could no longer withstand the continuous slashes of Lu Xuan's flying sword. In the end, Lu Xuan's flying sword pierced through its dantian, and it lost its ability to resist. It was killed by Lu Xuan with a single sword strike.
"Fellow Daoist Lu's strength is indeed no less than that of us mid-stage Core Formation cultivators." After escaping, Five Poisons Venerable and Heavenly Mystery Hermit awkwardly cupped their hands towards Lu.
Fairy Nanhua found the inner core of the Yinlin Beast first.
"Let's go, let's get back to the sea as soon as possible. Although we cultivators can avoid water in the sea, our strength will be greatly reduced."
“Fellow Daoist Lu is right.”
After the group returned to the sea.
Start the allocation process.
Lu Xuan had already taken the body material of the Yin Scale Beast as agreed.
Being able to forge a magic weapon is a pretty good achievement.
As for Yinlin Dan...
Lu Xuan had just broken through to the early stage of Core Formation, and his realm was not yet very stable.
There's no rush for the Yin Scale Pill anymore.
After killing the Yin Scale Beast, the group returned to the sea and landed on a nearby small island.
Fairy Nanhua has a dignified appearance and looks like a female cultivator in her twenties, but she has actually been cultivating immortality for two or three hundred years.
"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Lu. Judging from your appearance, you are not very old, probably under a hundred years old!" Fairy Nanhua looked Lu Xuan up and down a few times and said with a smile.
Lu Xuan paused for a moment after hearing Fairy Nanhua's probing words before replying calmly:
"Not at all, not at all. I only managed to break through to the Core Formation stage by sheer luck. How can I compare to you all who have been at the Core Formation stage for over a hundred years?"
Just now, Lu Xuan learned that the three of them were mid-stage Core Formation elders of the Endless Sea Loose Cultivator Alliance, who had advanced to the Core Formation stage more than a hundred years ago.
This trip is to search for the elixir of immortality needed to break through to the late stage of Core Formation.
Because within the Loose Cultivator Alliance, becoming a late-stage Core Formation cultivator grants one the status of a true elder! The word "respect" disappears, signifying a true high-ranking member of the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
Currently, there are only a dozen or so late-stage Core Formation elders in the Loose Cultivator Alliance. Apart from those few mysterious Nascent Soul elders, they are already the strongest in the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you're too kind. The three of us were just ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators back then. Later, we obtained a cave dwelling left by an ancient Nascent Soul cultivator, which allowed us to advance to the Core Formation realm. It took us a hundred years of arduous cultivation to reach the mid-Core Formation realm!"
"So the three of you are fellow Daoists from the Loose Cultivator Alliance," Lu Xuan said with a smile.
"Since you just invited me to join, I might as well go with the flow and join your Loose Cultivator Alliance. That way I'll have somewhere to go, instead of wandering in this vast and endless sea all day long."
The three were overjoyed upon hearing this: "If Fellow Daoist Lu can join our Loose Cultivator Alliance, we can recommend you to become an honored elder just like us. With you joining our Loose Cultivator Alliance, our strength will increase significantly, and we might even be able to rival the Righteous Path Alliance in the future."
"Haha, I'm not that powerful," Lu Xuan said modestly.
