The two major alliances are against each other. It is understandable trying to identify friends from foe. However, Lin Xuan had a headache.
Both sects have an identifying secret art. So the other party can easily see through his disguise, so even if he does not wear the Whirlwind Cloud Valley robes, he would still be easily discovered. the plan to pretend to be a Rogue Cultivator is completely ruined.
The risk of entering Leaping Stream Mountain will be greatly increased.
Not only does he have to face the fangs of Spirit Beasts, but also the pursuit of the Spirit Flame Sect and their allies.
With his current cultivation base, plus his Spirit Tools, Lin Xuan is very confident, even if he encounters a siege of several Spirit Condensation Stage disciples, he may not be able to win, but escaping won’t be difficult. But if he encounters an expert of the Foundation Establishment…
Lin Xuan has been in the Whirlwind Cloud Valley for four years. Although there were not many opportunities to make contact with Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, there were a few times he did. and their aura and pressure were very intense.
Although he now has the cultivation base of the Seventh Layer, the difference is only one step, but this one step is actually an insurmountable gap. If he met a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator. there would be no chance to escape.
Lin Xuan may be tough, he still fears death, but for the Immortal Path, he will not give up.
After hesitating for a while, Lin Xuan decided to venture out of the valley and rush to the Mountain to collect the Spirit Herb. Of course, he would not go unprepared.
First, he had to go to Dao Talisman Mountain.
The conflict not only involved the Whirlwind Cloud Valley and the Spirit Flame Sect, but the other sects in the Yan Prefecture area were also involved, forming alliances between the two factions.
For hundreds of years, Dao Talisman Mountain and Whirlwind Cloud Valley have always been in a good relationship, watching and helping each other out, so they naturally joined their alliance.
Dao Talisman Mountain, as the name suggests, is good at making talismans.
Talismans, although not comparable to Spirit Tools, can be activated instantly and do not require much Spiritual Qi. In the battle with Yan Tian Heng and Ye Tian, Lin Xuan has clearly experienced its benefits.
If he can have more talismans, he would have a better chance at achieving his goals.
As for what can be used to exchange for Talismans, medicine pills would be too eye-catching. Fortunately, Lin Xuan is not the same as before and has accumulated a lot of Spirit Stones, which is the regular currency used in the cultivation world.
Packing his stuff and placing all his treasures in a Storage belt, he then used the Demonic Disguising Technique to change his appearance, leaving the Whirlwind Cloud Valley.
Unlike the last time he went to Soaring Clouds Sect, Lin Xuan Spiritual Control Art is now in the initial success stage, which lets him directly release the Spirit Toot, which then turns into a Blue Light and flies into the horizon.
The wind whistling through his ears, the white clouds blossoming in front of his eye, the feeling of the small mountains passing by cools Lin Xuan’s heart, whatever difficulties may be thrown into his way, he must get that Spirit Herb, and succeed in his Foundation Establishment.
Although the speed of his flight is not as fast as Foundation Establishment Stage experts, it’s still quite rapid. Dao Talisman Mountain was more than 500 miles away from the Whirlwind Cloud Valley. But it took only him till mourning to reach his destination.
Lin Xuan arrived at dawn, he did not immediately enter the mountain, but took a break for a while, taking him six hours to arrive, he waited till he could re-use the Demonic Disguising Technique, changed his appearance, and entered the mountain.
However, Lin Xuan did not replace the robes of Whirlwind Cloud Valley. the other party did not know him anyways, wearing Whirlwind Cloud Valley’s clothes makes it more convenient.
“Who’s there?”
Using the Imperial Wind Art, it was not long before he heard the wind blowing. Two young cultivators of more than 20 years old, appeared in the distance a few meters away.
Lin Xuan knew that he had accidentally touched a restriction which issued a warning to the Dao Talisman Mountain. If his answer was not satisfactory, he’d be attacked by the array formation.
In these large Sects, there are layers of restrictions around them, and these restrictions are divided into two types, one is to issue a warning as a reminder that someone is coming, and the second is an integration of attack and defense.
The power of these restrictions is great, let alone a Spirit Condensation stage cultivator like him, even an expert of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Once trapped, wouldn’t survive, rumors have it that two hundred years ago, Whirlwind Cloud Valley’s “Everlasting Heaven Astral Array” once killed an Expert of the Core Formation Stage.
Of course, this is in Whirlwind Cloud Valley or Dao Talisman Mountain. These are some of the leading sects in Yan Prefecture. The other Small Sects or Family’s Formations aren’t as powerful, but in any case, they should not be underestimated.
So although he noticed those two cultivators’ stages were not high, Lin Xuan did not dare neglect them.
Fellow Daoist is Whirlwind Cloud Valley’s Ye Tian and has some business to attend to.
“Whirlwind Cloud Valley’s disciple?”
After listening to these words, the expressions of the two disciples were obviously more relaxed. Of course, they did not completely relax their vigilance. The person on the left touched his forehead with his fingers, and suddenly a blue light appeared on his eyebrows.
Seeing his move, Lin Xuan didn’t do anything fishy, standing with a smile.
The blue light flashed a few times, it stabilized, shaped like a human eye, this is the spiritual eye of the cultivation world, you can see through Disguises and cultivation bases, through the use of this Secret Art, one can identify if this person is a friend or foe.
The person locked his eyes onto Lin Xuan. At first sight, he showed a relieved expression and was then horrified. The other party was actually an expert of the Spirit Condensation Stage Great Perfection.
Lin Xuan did not try to hide his cultivation base. If you have a high cultivation base. Everyone will naturally be respectful and flatter you. But if your cultivation base is low, you’d be ridiculed, if you were lucky they’d probably give you some directions.
Anyway, his face is that of Ye Tian, even if a problem arises, It will not place any doubt of it on his head. With his mindset, Lin Xuan decided to go high profile.
In front of them with his fake Whirlwind Cloud Valley disciple’s appearance, and an elite with Seventh Layer Cultivation the faces of the two low-level cultivators were suddenly filled with flattering expressions.
“Oh, it was a Senior Brother of Whirlwind Cloud Valley, we apologize for the disrespect, I didn’t know Senior Brother was here, what’s the matter, is there anything this junior brother can do to help you?”
