Let his uncle not worry about anything.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chang’an just smiled and shook his head.

Then it was the Zhou Family’s letter, which indeed made him nod slightly.

"Bingxuan, it seems your Zhou Family is truly willing to part with their resources."

Lin Chang’an chuckled softly, letting the contents of the letter be clear for the other to see.

After reading it, Zhou Bingxuan’s eyes reddened, but she finally nodded resolutely. Just when she was about to speak, Lin Chang’an waved his hand with a smile to stop her.

"Alright, it’s understandable that the Zhou Family would be considerate from their position, but in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, strength is what truly matters."

"Yes!"

Every year, the Zhou Family sent some resources to consolidate Zhou Bingxuan’s position and to curry favor with him.

Lin Chang’an naturally understood this. If he had such an opportunity when he was weak, he would definitely not have let it pass.

It’s just that he has now become the strong one.

Meanwhile, the letter almost made it clear that although the three of them were here for his protection, they would not ask for any resources.

Their own Foundation Establishment resources were something each could still handle.

This clarity of understanding was indeed pleasing.

The mindset of the strong: I can give, but you cannot ask.

However, when looking at Old Hu’s letter next, Lin Chang’an furrowed his brows slightly, and the sword servant beside him understood immediately.

Shen Zhuang, Li Tianmo, and Zhou Bingxuan, under the sword servant’s gesture, bowed respectfully and withdrew.

...

Inside the pavilion, only Lin Chang’an and the sword servant remained, along with the Cyan-Horned Bull, who leisurely emerged from the cave after breaking through Tier Three, looking somewhat exhausted.

The sound of water splashing was heard as the Cyan-Horned Bull lazily soaked in the pool, actually digesting the refined Demonic Qi it had just absorbed in cultivation.

Though the effects of this high-level Spiritual Energy were good, even after purification, cultivators still needed to spend effort to fully absorb and transform it.

This was the reason for the Cyan-Horned Bull’s exhaustion.

"As expected, the information Old Hu gained at Bihai Palace far exceeds that of ordinary forces."

Upon seeing Hu Jin’s letter, Lin Chang’an’s expression became serious.

Hu Jin reminded him not to be tempted by the Secret Realm; this time, the Secret Realm involved several Nascent Soul influences, and even Bihai Palace was being watched by the Sixth Elder.

"Yin Soul Sect’s disappearance back then, Bihai Palace seems to also know a bit about it."

The once-renowned Yin Soul Sect is suspected to have had two Nascent Soul giants who joined forces to capture a Nascent Soul Ghost King to cultivate some secret technique.

As a result, some unexpected event occurred, triggering the sect’s restriction, pulling the entire sect down with the undersea geothermal flames for sealing, and subsequently disappearing.

This event shook the Demon Beast Abyss back then and was investigated for a long time, but yielded no results.

"Such a powerful sect with two Nascent Soul experts disappears without a trace, and according to recent developments,

It seems they encountered an unstoppable disaster, prompting them to use the undersea geothermal flames’ power to seal the sect, a seal lasting six hundred years..."

As a Tier Three Array Master, Lin Chang’an could naturally see it.

They must have encountered something that made them adopt a desperate method.

"But it’s precisely because of this that attention is drawn to what happened six hundred years ago? Nascent Soul cultivators are especially eager to know this.

What temptation could induce a sect on par with the Sixteen Sea Suppression Sects to choose such a method, and there’s also the inheritance of Yin Soul Sect."

At this thought, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but shudder.

This is clearly targeted by Nascent Soul cultivators; do Core Formation cultivators still seek fortuitous opportunities?

His determination grew stronger.

The chance might be good, but survival is the only way to harness it.

"Steady cultivation, given the weakened condition of the Secret Realm’s restriction, it’ll be decades before anything substantial arises."

With that, Lin Chang’an shook his head, no longer considering the opportunities of treasures and inheritance within the Secret Realm.

Rather than that, he’d seize the opportunity to earn more cultivation resources.

"In this case, my Spirit-Calming Talisman seems to be in demand."

After understanding the situation of the Secret Realm and the Yin Soul Sect, he thought about the only Tier Three Talisman he knew so far.

"When it comes to Demon Beasts or cultivators, the Spirit-Calming Talisman is unremarkable, but for Yin Spirits and Primordial Spirits, it’s highly effective."

From the speculations mentioned in Old Hu’s letter, he roughly understood.

A Spirit Island with yin veins, a sect famous for puppetry and yin spirits, ultimately needed the undersea geothermal flames for sealing. It most likely had something to do with the Nascent Soul Ghost King back then.

"Moreover, being sealed for a full six hundred years, the Secret Realm has likely become a world of yin spirits."

Realizing this, Lin Chang’an shook his head. This was actually a good thing for him.

In the realm of Tier Three Talismans, the seemingly useless Spirit-Calming Talisman effectively counters yin spirits.

He could guess that Old Hu’s information, for Nascent Soul influences, wasn’t a secret at all.

But for lower-level forces, it was nearly unattainable information.

This is where connections make a difference.

"Still, the Spirit-Calming Talisman is too singular; if opportunities arise, other Tier Three Talisman inheritances shouldn’t be missed."

He had mentioned this to Old Hu in a previous letter, and Hu Jin had replied, saying he would keep an eye out.

Hu Jin had even mentioned in the letter that he would accompany the Law Enforcement Hall cultivators on their visit this time.

"Is Old Hu coming!"

Lin Chang’an smiled upon reading that; cultivators of Bihai Palace’s Law Enforcement Hall coming was a good thing.

At that time, Five Dragons Island would be more stable, which was great for a cultivator like him without ambition.

He never thought about fishing in troubled waters.

Earn more Spirit Stones, and if someone gains unused treasures in the Secret Realm, they might appear in the marketplace.

"There’s so much to do now: Talismans, Arrays, Alchemy, and Artifact Refining."

These all made Lin Chang’an shake his head. While others might trouble over being too distracted, he actually had two real avatars.

Yet in Tier Three inheritances, the Pill Formula was straightforward; the challenge lay in collecting materials, much like Artifact Refining.

"The path of cultivation is long and distant; it’ll all come eventually."

...

Next, countless cultivators swarmed towards the two great seas of Five Dragons Island and Xingji Island, along with the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea.

Especially the Loose Cultivators desperately seeking opportunities, every one of them eagerly made their way there.

The news that the Secret Realm was the Yin Soul Sect of six hundred years ago, a Nascent Soul Major Sect, had made countless Core Formation Sects and great clans act.

The external chaos and killing seemed to have nothing to do with Lin Chang’an.

He continued his daily cultivation as always and began openly crafting Arrays, while the Artifact Refinement Pavilion of Profound Sound Pavilion bustled continuously these days.

The demands for refining Array Discs and Array Flags from Elder Lin Chang’an kept coming in.

Profound Sound Pavilion.

"Is the Sect planning to hold an internal competition in two years?"

It was rare for the Profound Sound Pavilion’s Sect Leader and Elders to gather together this time.

Fairy Ni Chang proposed this, with Liu Ruyu having no objections, firmly supporting the idea. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Yet, Core Formation Elder Xu Lingfeng seemed slightly displeased but said nothing.

Lin Chang’an understood Fairy Ni Chang’s intentions upon hearing this.

"During these times of turmoil, enhancing internal strength is indeed of utmost importance."

The internal competition targeted Qi Refining Cultivators, offering the Foundation Establishment Pill as a reward.

It aimed to inspire and boost the disciples’ morale in facing the long-lasting instability brought on by the Secret Realm.

As everyone nodded in agreement, Fairy Ni Chang looked towards the silent Wen Danshi.

"In the coming two years, we may have to trouble Wen Danshi to refine some Foundation Establishment Pills."

The hooded Wen Danshi nodded hoarsely and replied:

"You’re too kind, Sect Leader. As long as there are enough materials, mass-producing Foundation Establishment Pills isn’t hard."

With the current upheaval brought by the Secret Realm, it was also an opportunity. Profound Sound Pavilion could take advantage to rapidly accumulate resources.

Subsequently, Fairy Ni Chang outlined the Sect’s development amidst the Secret Realm’s unrest, ordering not to get involved in the struggle for it, clearly leaving Xu Lingfeng a bit concerned.

"This internal competition includes disciples of every peak master, with Foundation Establishment Pills as prizes..."

This meant Celestial Spring Peak, led by Lin Chang’an, could participate, though Wen Danshi’s Red Fire Peak had few disciples.

Listening to Fairy Ni Chang’s arrangements, Lin Chang’an nodded secretly. Wasn’t this a way to enhance the elders’ sense of belonging?

But for him, this was also a good thing.
