Chapter 479: Chapter 255: The Fate of Another Profound Celestial Withered Leaf

After all, regarding the Phoenix Cry Bird, he still needed the Long Family to attract the attention of the Profound Sound Pavilion and the Li Huo Palace.

In front of Xu Lingfeng and Liu Ruyu, both members of the Profound Sound Pavilion, the Long Family openly invited Lin Chang’an to the treasure vault, showing no discretion at all.

However, before coming, Lin Chang’an had already sent a sound transmission to the two, and they were naturally aware of the grievances between Lin Chang’an and the Long Family.

...

With a smile all over the face of this Core Formation cultivator of the Long Family, he clapped his hands to signal, and nine maids carrying jade boxes who had been prepared long ago by the Long Family slowly entered.

After these nine Qi Refining Late Stage maids entered and subsequently opened the jade boxes, Xu Lingfeng and Liu Ruyu, these two Golden Core cultivators from the Profound Sound Pavilion, couldn’t help but show a hint of shock.

"Are all these nine sets Golden Core Realm Wood Attribute Techniques?"

Lin Chang’an was also astonished by the generosity of the Long Family, secretly clicking his tongue.

I’m afraid even the Profound Sound Pavilion doesn’t have such depth to take out nine Golden Core Realm Wood Attribute Techniques at once.

Currently, the Long Family still has five Golden Core cultivators externally, among whom is the former Island Master of the Long Family, who is said to have failed at the Nascent Soul breakthrough and is recuperating from severe injuries within the clan.

A cultivator at the peak of Core Formation Late Stage is not someone to be underestimated, even when seriously injured.

Next, Lin Chang’an released his divine sense, and under everyone’s gaze, he began to directly inspect these nine different techniques without any concealment.

Each technique has restrictions, showing only the front part, yet allowing a general understanding of the technique’s characteristics.

"This Wood Attribute Technique cultivates mana that is mellow, balanced in various aspects, but can harmonize the five qi, solidifying the foundation and extending life - it is a method for longevity indeed."

"This one is not adept at magical combat; the mana, though unremarkable, is exceptionally pure, making it easy to cultivate, with relatively easy breakthroughs at bottlenecks."

After looking through five Wood Attribute Techniques in a row, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but frown.

Most of them surprisingly do not significantly enhance a cultivator’s combat power, essentially making them the weakest in battle among cultivators of the same realm.

This type of technique has obvious shortcomings, even lacking powerful divine techniques, but it has the advantage of making breakthroughs at bottlenecks relatively easier.

Finally, at the seventh technique, he saw one that was relatively strong in combat power.

"This technique, among those of the same realm, has extended force and mana far exceeding fellow cultivators, and it also includes two divine techniques adept at evasion..."

But at the ninth, also the last technique, Lin Chang’an finally saw the technique he had been longing for, yet he was somewhat disappointed.

The jade scroll clearly recorded one Refining Technique and one Body Refining Technique.

"This technique was acquired by our Long Family in a Secret Realm and is a rare Dual Cultivation of Body and Technique—"

Listening to the Long Family’s introduction, Lin Chang’an’s expression tightened; only Golden Core Stage?

"It seems that the Nascent Soul Realm technique has been hidden by the Long Family."

That would be understandable; if it were him, he wouldn’t reveal everything to outsiders either.

Is it this technique he needs? No!

He is coveting the withered leaves of the Profound Celestial Immortal Vine.

And the jade scroll before him was clearly a copy made by the Long Family; it’s unclear whether any traps were left in the subsequent techniques.

After going through the last technique, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but show a look of disappointment.

Seeing this scene, the muscular Core Formation cultivator of the Long Family clenched his palm, while Liu Ruyu and Xu Lingfeng exchanged glances and smiled.

It seems that Mr. Lin is simply trying to seize a great advantage while the opportunity presents itself; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so greedy.

For Lin Chang’an, what he wants is the withered leaves of the Profound Celestial Immortal Vine.

The opponent recorded it on the jade scroll, indicating that the original is clearly still with the Long Family.

As Lin Chang’an was pondering, a figure appeared, causing the lifebound spirit plant inside him to stir instantly.

The newcomer was a cultivator who bore a seven-tenths resemblance to Long Changfeng from before, but appeared more stable.

Upon seeing this person arrive, the muscular Core Formation cultivator of the Long Family laughed heartily and said to Lin Chang’an:

"Mr. Lin, this is the Tier Three Middle Grade Golden Attribute Demon Pill you need."

With a gesture of his hand, the arriving Long Family cultivator respectfully and slowly opened the jade box in his hand.

As the jade box opened, a golden demon pill exuding a strong aura appeared before them.

Judging by its quality and size, it was indeed a Tier Three Middle Grade Demon Pill.

"Long Changqing, the blood brother of the once Long Family prodigy Long Changfeng, I didn’t expect him to have reached Core Formation."

From previously gathered information about the Long Family, Lin Chang’an instantly deduced this person’s identity.

Foundation Establishment Middle Stage? No, this person should possess some aura-concealing treasure; he should be at Foundation Establishment Late Stage perfection.

Through powerful perception, Lin Chang’an could discern this person’s precise level of cultivation.

Yet, within this person’s storage bag, he felt a familiar aura, plus the stirring of his lifebound spirit plant.

"As expected, how could I be the only one to discover the secret of the withered leaves?" Lin Chang’an thought with alarm.

Good news, he had finally found the Profound Celestial Immortal Vine Withered Leaves within the Long Family.

The bad news was that it was in the hands of a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator of the Long Family, indicating the Long Family had likely discovered the secret of the withered leaves.

Countless thoughts swirled through his mind, and Lin Chang’an sighed quietly; it seemed the Long Family intended for this person to switch to this technique after reaching Core Formation.

After all, normal Foundation Establishment cultivators wouldn’t easily switch techniques; the most secure way is to specialize in different techniques after breaking through realms.

A Core Formation seed, the Long Family would surely protect well; upon thinking this, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Given the chance, he certainly wouldn’t mind reclaiming his treasure from a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
