After two full days of rest, Lin Xuan gradually recovered.

This Yin-Yang Art was indeed a heaven-defying magical power, which was quite different from other techniques.

Other high-level Magic Arts were extremely difficult to practice, one shouldn’t even think of mastering them in a few years or even dozens of years.

However, this Yin-Yang Art only took seven days. Of course, the premise was to be able to withstand the inhuman pain.

Fortunately, one wouldn’t feel any discomfort after mastering it while converting between yin and yang Spiritual Power.

Lin Xuan sat down cross-legged and used the technique of internal vision to observe his body’s condition.

In his Dantian, a large amount of cyan Spiritual Power gathered, slowly circulating. Lin Xuan took a breath and started to operate the Yin-Yang Art.

A strange thing happened, the cyan color receded, and his Spiritual Power gradually turned into a strange color that was as dark as ink.

This was Yin Spiritual Power!

After half an hour, Lin Xuan stood up from the ground, but his expression did not show much satisfaction. Although he learned the Yin-Yang Art, the conversion between the two different Spiritual Powers was still too slow. Usually, this would not be a problem. But when fighting, the other party would obviously not let him take his time.

However, there was nothing he could do about it. Practice makes perfect. As long as he practiced more, it should be a matter of time before he becomes more proficient.

During this time, a happy event occurred. Lin Yue’er had succeeded in her Foundation Establishment.

When he first got the news, Lin Xuan found it a little unbelievable. After that, when he advanced to Foundation Establishment, he was aided by Top-grade Purifying Essence Pills, but it still took three months.

It only took her less than ten days.

Although he knew that Yin Ghosts would get twice the result with half the effort, he didn’t expect it to go so smoothly.

However, this was the truth, so when Lin Yue’er came to greet him with a smile, Lin Xuan sat still for half an hour with a blank look on his face.

Lin Xuan envied her talent but didn’t know that the Little Yin Ghost also admired him. Her master could actually transform his energy into the strange Yin Spiritual Power, and the level of purity was also comparable to that of herself.

The Cultivation Method of the Righteous Dao, and the Magic Arts of Ghost Cultivation, their lethality by being combined…Well, she was looking forward to it!

But now there was no time to rest. Yue’er, similar to Lin Xuan, had just stepped into the Foundation Establishment Stage. She still needed a period of time to stabilize her cultivation.

Lin Xuan was naturally very happy. Yue’er had formed a master-servant blood bond with him. The higher her cultivation base, the more helpful she would be.

Lin Yue’er was working hard, so of course, he wouldn’t just sit there. He would need to continue his cultivation of converting his Spiritual Power attributes.

This process was not hard, just a little boring. Compared with the situation where he first started cultivating it, this was simply the difference between heaven and hell.

Two months later, although Lin Xuan’s Innate Talent was not high, after practicing thousands of times, he could now easily convert between yin and yang Spiritual Power.

Lin Xuan stood there in a dignified manner, and his body was fluctuating with a calm Spiritual Power. Obviously, he was practicing the supreme Taoist Cultivation Method, but the next moment, he was covered in a blacklight, and in less than a minute, the temperament of his whole figure changed completely, and the Spiritual Power that emerged from it became strange and cold.

Lin Xuan nodded, obviously quite satisfied with his achievements. He didn’t achieve Great Accomplishment in the Yin-Yang Art, but at least he could use it freely.

Of course, this Magic Art was just a bridge. Next, if he wanted to increase his strength, he still needed to cultivate various Ghost Dao magical powers.

Lin Xuan took out a jade slip from his sleeve.

The “Profound Demon Scripture” had been engraved in it. After all, paper fragments were not easy to persevere. If one neglected them for a long time, they would regret it immensely.

He sank his Spiritual Sense into it, naturally, he wasn’t interested in the Cultivation Method. Lin Xuan was only interested in the various Magic Arts.

Of course, there were trade-offs, he couldn’t practice the techniques related to the Core Formation Stage and even the Nascent Soul Stage.

He soon found an article related to the Foundation Establishment.

There were more than a dozen Magic Arts recorded, so Lin Xuan once again had to choose.

The best would be those that were powerful and easy to cultivate!

This sounded a bit harsh. How can one have both the fish and that bear’s paws?1There is an ancient poem in China that talks about how one wants fish and a bear’s paw. But he could only get one and must sacrifice the other, so he chose to take the bear’s paw, as that was more valuable. Now, this saying refers to the fact that sacrifices have to be made to get what you want. However, that was the logic of the Righteous Path, the so-called Demonic Method. Especially the techniques of ghost cultivation, they emphasize quick success and instant benefit.

Of course, there were many hidden dangers, but that had nothing to do with Lin Xuan. He was not a ghost cultivator, but he was based on the Nine Heavens Profound Art, and just relying on the Yin-Yang Art to transform his energy into Yin Spiritual Power.

After some sorting, Lin Xuan took a fancy to two Magic Arts.

One’s related to Spirit Tools and talks about using the souls of living beings to refine Demonic Banners.

Under normal circumstances, even though the power of this method was great, Lin Xuan would definitely not cultivate it.

Although he was not a good person, his nature was not cruel. If nobody offended him, he’d leave them alone. Naturally, he would not be merciful if provoked.

Of course, he wouldn’t do this kind of thing and extract innocent souls to refine Spirit Tools. However, under some special circumstances, Lin Xuan already had the Hundred Souls Banner!

That was the loot of killing his first Demonic Cultivator in the Whirlwind Cloud Valley.

Now that he thought about it, Ye Tian should also be a ghost cultivator.

Although the Hundred Soul Banner has been around for a long time, Lin Xuan rarely used it, and even when it was occasionally taken out, it was used for some auxiliary purposes.

It was not that its power was not strong enough. Although Lin Xuan wouldn’t attack innocent people, he didn’t absorb his enemies’ souls after killing them. Under the nourishment of a large number of cultivators’ souls, the power of the Hundred Soul Banner was actually far more powerful than an ordinary Top Grade Spirit Tool.

It was just that Lin Xuan was an Immortal Cultivator, so it was hard to display its magical powers.

However, it was clearly written in the Profound Demon Scripture. The use of Yin Spiritual Power would greatly stimulate it, although its power couldn’t be said to be infinite, in a fight with the common Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, it would be easy to prevail.

One should know that the Extreme Demon Venerable’s Natal Magic Artifact was the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. Although it was much higher than Lin Xuan’s Hundred Soul Banner, they stem from the same source.
