Chapter 473: Chapter 253: The Theory of Xuantian Luck

Celestial Spring Peak.

In six years, Lin Chang’an had planted many spirit plants across various parts of Celestial Spring Peak, not wanting to waste such a fertile spirit land.

He even raised spirit fish in the ponds and hired several maids to manage the Spirit Mountain.

These maids all hailed from friendly nearby families, and one was even from the Lu Family.

Each of them was not only beautiful and young, but also at the Qi Refining Late Stage in cultivation.

As for the intentions of these families, Lin Chang’an knew them even with his eyes closed.

They intended to curry favor with him, hoping to eventually become concubines, thereby strengthening their family’s ties with him.

After all, a Core Formation Cultivator can influence the future rise and fall of their families.

"They may be called free maids, but practicing cultivation here is undoubtedly more beneficial than within their families."

Within the pavilion of his cave mansion, Lin Chang’an gazed at the maids diligently working below the mountain, his expression indifferent.

Even though his cave mansion was equipped with a Spirit Gathering Array, the spiritual energy of the entire mountain was abundant enough, especially for those at the Qi Refining Late Stage.

Even Foundation Establishment cultivators would find the base of the mountain to be a rare place rich in spiritual energy for cultivation.

Nonetheless, as the Core Formation Master of the main peak, surrounded by numerous families, even though he was dedicated to cultivation, he was not ignorant of worldly matters.

He had no intention of being blind or deaf to allow those surrounding families to fall under the sway of rival forces.

Moreover, if he only maintained a friendly demeanor, it would put the surrounding families at ease, and these maids would also bring him intelligence from their respective families.

This way, he could gather information conveniently, making it a mutually beneficial transaction.

"Moo!"

The Cyan-Horned Bull leisurely approached him, lowering its head with a pleasing expression as it tugged at his pant leg.

Seeing this, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but chuckle.

"While other Core Formation Masters have maidservants managing their cave mansions, I have too many secrets. Being cautious is better than anything else."

After gently tapping his storage bag, three spirit fruits appeared. Seeing this, the Cyan-Horned Bull mooed in delight.

"You silly bull." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Looking at the welcoming expression of the Cyan-Horned Bull, Lin Chang’an rarely smiled and shook his head.

It seemed to have become a habit, or maybe the mana he cultivated was beneficial to the Cyan-Horned Bull, as it has consistently tried to please him over the years.

Yearning to absorb his mana for cultivation, even the Phoenix Cry Bird felt the influence. However, the Cyan-Horned Bull had spent more time with him and naturally received the most nourishment.

"With the Profound Celestial Immortal Vine as my Lifebound Spirit Plant, could the reciprocated mana have other benefits?"

Lin Chang’an surmised silently, knowing that the instincts of demon beasts were far stronger than those of human cultivators.

Coupled with some of his guesses over the years and based on some legends.

"Could it be related to the mystical concept of fate from the legends?"

Lin Chang’an was secretly skeptical.

It’s said that in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, only true immortals can acquire treasures born with the world, which are often associated with the title of Profound Celestial.

And Profound Celestial objects often come with a mystical aura of fate.

It seemed his luck had indeed been good over the years, as he hadn’t faced any major dangers.

"Even the three volumes of this Cultivation Technique were successfully acquired by me."

But thinking this, Lin Chang’an shook his head, as the time was too short and the concept of fate was too elusive and difficult to fathom.

Additionally, this mystical fate might only make a cultivator’s journey smoother, but being blindly arrogant would still lead to crises.

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, countless prodigies and giants who rose to prominence have also faced defeat at the pinnacle.

"Better safe than sorry, being cautious never hurts."

With this thought, Lin Chang’an shook his head and then stood up, heading further into his cave mansion.

...

The Cyan-Horned Bull, enjoying the Profound Celestial Aura-infused mana within its body, although uninjured, instinctively felt that this mana was greatly beneficial.

After Lin Chang’an entered the deepest part of the cave mansion through multiple arrays, he opened a stone wall barrier and turned into a streak of azure escape light.

The escape light swept through the darkness until it reached a volcanic cave.

At the center of the volcanic fire, a giant withered tree rooted in the lava, not only undamaged but greedily absorbing the fire’s spiritual energy.

The dark Fusang Divine Tree occasionally emitted wisps of black energy, which were sealed in the array’s jade bottle under the array barrier.

"What has the Fusang Divine Tree encountered, and what is this black energy, so difficult to eradicate?"

Lin Chang’an shook his head, feeling that the secrets of the Immortal Cultivation Realm were too numerous.

It was because the stronger he grew, the more secrets of the Immortal Cultivation Realm he uncovered, fueling his endless fascination.

Atop the Fusang Divine Tree, the Phoenix Cry Bird perched lazily, seeming to greatly enjoy the tree.

Seeing Lin Chang’an, its owner, approach with his true form, it chirped excitedly.

"Alright, this Fusang Divine Tree, you must protect it well."

Lin Chang’an remarked with a smile, and beside the tree sat his clone, cross-legged and solemnly refining elixirs with a pill furnace.

"This Divine Technique of external incarnation is quite convenient, allowing me to enhance various skills and giving me more time."

Lin Chang’an sighed, feeling that if his Lifebound Spirit Plant, the Profound Celestial Immortal Vine, grew strong over time, it might one day quicken his cultivation speed.

"Since external incarnations can cultivate various skills, there should be no reason they can’t also hasten my cultivation."
