Chapter 493: Half a Century of Hard Training

Of course, Xiao Lin didn't have the recipe for the "Xiao Wan Fa Dan" in his hand, so even if he wanted to refine it, he had no idea where to start.

After putting away the jade bottle, Xiao Lin began to be in a daze. The trip to the Demon Dragon Island was a great harvest for him. Not only did he get a large piece of Xing Yuan Han Yu, which could be used to refine three Qing Luan Ice Swords, but he also got a lot of precious materials unexpectedly.

Now Xiao Lin began to gradually understand why some immortal cultivators or demon cultivators like to do those highway robbery businesses. Although this kind of business is accompanied by the risk of being killed, the benefits are also amazing.

As long as you can kill a Jindan cultivator, you will get almost all of this person's worth, unless this person belongs to a certain sect and puts most of his items in the cave when he goes out, otherwise he will give away all his property.

The two demon cultivators obviously did a lot of such things. The items in their star rings can be called two secret collections, which makes Xiao Lin's worth more than a million in spirit stones alone.

This is not counting the various third-level materials that almost filled a star ring. In addition, the materials obtained from the hundreds of monsters that Xiao Lin hunted in the past ten years have made Xiao Lin's wealth reach its highest point in history.

Of course, for Xiao Lin, these are not the most important. For him, the piece of Tianlian silver alone is enough to match all his wealth.

With so much wealth at once, Xiao Lin will not be idle in a short period of time.

Practicing the secret art of ghost hiding, refining the Qingluan Ice Sword, refining pills, collecting many materials for refining the "Purple Thunder Star Shield", offering sacrifices to the skulls of several demons, etc., each of these things is quite time-consuming for Xiao Lin.

This is not counting the time needed to continue to comprehend the "Taixuan Dao Yuan Lingtai Fenying Dafa" and "Jinyuan Zhendao".

Thinking of this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel a headache. It seemed that there were too many things to do at once.

But these are all things he needs to complete, and he cannot take any shortcuts or be lazy. Thinking about the many difficulties he has encountered since he started cultivating immortals, Xiao Lin couldn't help but cheer up and began to carefully formulate a cultivation plan for the next period of time.

......

In the Wan Yao Sea in the Eastern Territory, the alternation of the four seasons is not obvious, especially in winter, when there is almost no snow, and at most there is a biting north wind.

In addition to daily cultivation, Xiao Lin also follows his own cultivation plan one by one.

Xiao Lin's cultivation cave is also closed all year round. The residents of Qinghulu Island also found that the entire Qinghulu Mountain is surrounded by fairy clouds all year round, which makes them know that the fairy master should be in seclusion to cultivate immortal arts.

This situation originally made the residents of Qinghulu Island very worried. If a monster attacks and the fairy master happens to be in seclusion, then ordinary mortals like them will suffer a catastrophe.

One night, several high-level mortal monsters, led by a great perfection mortal monster, sneaked into the village. When the villagers found them, they were about to enter a house.

At this time, a fire cloud several feet in size suddenly flew out from the dense forest behind the village like the wind, and instantly wrapped up the great perfection mortal monster.

It took only a few breaths of time for the fire cloud to disperse, leaving only a pile of white bones on the ground, which stunned the villagers present.

The other high-level mortal monsters saw their leader being eaten clean in an instant, and immediately turned around and fled, but before they fled to the seaside, they were caught up by the fire cloud one by one, following the footsteps of their leader.

From then on, the villagers on Qinghu Island realized that the immortal master on the mountain had not forgotten them, but sent some spirit insects to guard their town at all times.

From then on, the mortals in the town began to live a peaceful life, and the mortals on some surrounding islands also began to find ways to move to Qinghu Island. Over the past few decades, the entire town has doubled in size.

Xiao Lin naturally didn't know about this, and didn't care. He hid in the cave all day, practicing secret techniques, refining elixirs and weapons, and of course, more importantly, practicing.

This process was boring, but fulfilling. In the blink of an eye, thirty years had passed.

In these thirty years, in addition to training outside and practicing magic, Jiang Yingxue would come back every two or three years to ask Xiao Lin about various problems encountered in practice. Of course, she would also share with Xiao Lin the various strange formations that often appeared in her mind, and ask Xiao Lin for the truth behind them.

Jiang Yingxue didn't know that these so-called truths she asked her master for were also extremely precious to Xiao Lin, and often made him suddenly enlightened, with a kind of awe-inspiring world and a sense of pleasure and joy.

Xiao Lin's knowledge of formations also began to advance by leaps and bounds. He had comprehended most of the formations in the Forbidden Yuan Formation, and he had arranged layers upon layers of formations within a few miles of his own cultivation cave on Qinghu Island, with no less than a dozen formations. Three of these formations were of intermediate and superior quality, and the formation plates were buried deep in the spiritual veins under the cave by Xiao Lin.

Not to mention a Jindan cultivator, even if a Yuanying cultivator came to attack, it would probably take three to five months before they could break through the defenses of these formations.

Of course, for Xiao Lin, the most important thing is to practice the secret art of ghost hiding and refine two kinds of life magic weapons.

In the first few years of retreat, Xiao Lin often went in and out of Leishi Immortal City, and exchanged all the materials he didn't need for spirit stones, so that his spirit stones reached as much as two million at once.

This was the remaining spirit stones after he bought and refined two kinds of life magic weapons. In addition, in order to refine the "Purple Thunder Star Shield" set of intermediate magic weapons, Xiao Lin would appear on the top of Qinghu Mountain on time every day before dawn, close his eyes and breathe in and out to collect the purple air that appeared in the sky when the sun rose.

This process lasted for a full 28 years at the beginning. During these 28 years, Xiao Lin never stopped collecting purple air. It was precisely because of such persistence and perseverance that he finally collected enough.

In the practice room, more than a dozen dark green spiritual lights were flying up and down, and although the cold air was pressing between these spiritual lights, it did not affect the surroundings at all.

Xiao Lin looked at the twelve Qingluan Ice Swords in front of him and smiled. After decades of nurturing, the twelve Qingluan Ice Swords, especially the first nine, have reached the point of restraining coldness. Although they have not yet advanced to the intermediate level, they are definitely top-level among the primary magic weapons.

Moreover, once the Qingluan Ice Swords with ice jade are stimulated with the blue flame spirit fire, their power will definitely not be inferior to those ordinary intermediate magic weapons.

He opened his mouth slightly, and the twelve Qingluan Ice Swords, like swimming fish, shot into his mouth and disappeared without a trace.

Xiao Lin did not close his mouth. After the twelve Qingluan Ice Swords disappeared, several lightning flashes flashed in his mouth, and nine small shields emitting faint purple and blue spiritual light appeared in front of Xiao Lin.

On each small shield, tiny lightning flashed, almost covering the entire shield. This "Purple Thunder Star Shield" was round, thin as a cicada's wing, and transparent as ice, but its edge was as sharp as a blade. As it rotated gently, it actually flashed with a star-like spiritual charm, and at the same time, lightning flashes were thrown out.

And these "Purple Thunder Star Shields" also followed Xiao Lin's thoughts and flew around along the lightning flashes. The speed was extremely fast, and it was not much slower than Xiao Lin's speed of performing magic lightning.

This surprised Xiao Lin. The speed of the defensive magic weapon is very critical. After all, if the enemy's magic weapon is approaching, and the defensive magic weapon is still flying slowly, it is undoubtedly a foolish dream to want to resist the opponent's magic weapon, and it would be too unfair to die like this.

Therefore, defensive magic weapons are usually a little faster than offensive magic weapons. Of course, for cultivators, most defensive magic weapons will not be too far away from the body, which is also to prevent this point.

Xiao Lin's nine "Purple Thunder Star Shields" can be said to be both offensive and defensive. They can defend at close range and attack at a distance. They also have lightning and cold attributes. If Xiao Lin uses the Qingyan Spirit Fire to sacrifice in the future, the power will be much stronger.

After putting away the "Purple Thunder Star Shield", Xiao Lin pondered for a while, and gently patted the beast ring on his waist. A ball of fire cloud flew out of it. As soon as this ball of fire cloud came out, it exuded a powerful demonic power, which surprised Xiao Lin, who was already prepared.

There are as many as seven or eight hundred of these Soul Devouring Fire Gu in front of Xiao Lin, of which more than two hundred have reached the high level of the True Level, and the remaining five or six hundred have already reached the middle level of the True Level.

In the past few decades, Xiao Lin was surprised to find that the Spirit Wood Space could actually cultivate the Demon Transformation Grass. After trying to feed the Demon Transformation Grass to the Soul Devouring Fire Gu, Xiao Lin was surprised to find that these Soul Devouring Fire Gu did not even look at the Five Elements Spiritual Grass, but rushed towards the Demon Transformation Grass.

After a voracious swallowing, the red Demon Transformation Grass planted by Xiao Lin was swallowed up completely. After swallowing the Demon Transformation Grass, the Soul Devouring Fire Gu found a place and fell asleep in Xiao Lin's surprised eyes.

Xiao Lin naturally did not feed all his Soul Devouring Fire Gu with the Demon Transformation Grass. First, the Demon Transformation Grass he cultivated was not much, and second, he did not know whether the Demon Transformation Grass was effective for the Soul Devouring Fire Gu and whether there were any side effects.

Therefore, Xiao Lin still held an experimental attitude and selected some True-level and Ordinary-level Soul Devouring Fire Gu, feeding them red and green Demon Transformation Grass respectively to see if there would be any changes.

The result undoubtedly made Xiao Lin very satisfied. The effect of swallowing the demon-transforming grass was indeed better than swallowing ordinary spiritual herbs. After swallowing the demon-transforming grass, within a few days, the hundreds of ordinary-level soul-devouring fire insects used for the experiment began to enter a dormant state.

After a few more days, those true-level initial-stage soul-devouring fire insects also had calluses all over their bodies and began the process of transformation, which really made Xiao Lin extremely excited.
