73: Advanced Spiritual Body

Originally, after the demonic cultivators invaded, Steward Wang was quite happy to see the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce's business rise, truly a blessing in disguise.

Unexpectedly, just a few days later, the city's families caused such a scandal, directly scaring away a large number of Loose Cultivators.

This, in turn, caused the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce's business, which had just started to rise, to plummet into a trough.

This drastic contrast almost made Steward Wang curse the entire families who had ambushed and killed the Loose Cultivators.

However, even if the Loose Cultivators left, as long as they persevered for a while, another batch would come. For now, doing business with the various families in the city was barely enough to get by.

But what Steward Wang didn't expect was that not long after, another bolt from the blue struck his heart.

"What? The Heavenly Fire True Lords Tomb is a trap set by those demonic cultivators?"

Zhang Daobai's eyes widened in shock, and he almost dropped the teacup he was holding.

Steward Wang saw this and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "At first, I was just like you, extremely shocked when I heard this news."

"In fact, that Heavenly Fire True Lords Tomb had already been discovered by the Yinmo Sect's demonic cultivators, but they only took the core Legacy from it and didn't touch anything else, precisely to attract the Cultivators of Purple Maple Immortal City to enter."

"This was to distract attention for their invasion of Purple Maple Immortal City, and also to provide nourishment for the Soul Extraction and Blood Refining Array they set up under the tomb."

Killing two birds with one stone!

Upon hearing this, Fellow Daoist Zhang couldn't help but think of an idiom.

"After the people from the various families entered the Heavenly Fire True Lords Tomb, that group of demonic cultivators activated the Fifth-grade Defensive Array within the Heavenly Fire True Lords Tomb, trapping them inside."

"Then they used the Soul Extraction and Blood Refining Array to refine the souls and vital blood of the various Family members."

"If the Old Ancestor of the Tang Family hadn't arrived in time, everyone who entered the tomb from the various families would have died. But even so, about seventy percent of their people still perished."

Speaking of this, Steward Wang couldn't help but show a hint of worry in his eyes.

First the Loose Cultivators left, and now more than half of the people from the various families have died. His business was getting harder and harder to do.

"What about that group of demonic cultivators?" Zhang Daobai immediately asked curiously.

"They ran away!"

"They must have arranged for someone to guard outside Purple Maple Immortal City. When they saw the Old Ancestor of the Tang Family leave the city, they notified their companions in the Xuantian Mountain Range."

"By the time the Old Ancestor of the Tang Family arrived at the Heavenly Fire True Lords Tomb, that group of demonic cultivators had already fled," Steward Wang said with a strong tone of resentment.

Hearing this, Zhang Daobai turned his head with a complicated expression and met Lin Luoxue's gaze.

He had already made up his mind that once Lin Luoxue advanced to the Spirit Channeling Dao Body, they would immediately leave Purple Maple Immortal City.

Under the series of blows, Zhang Daobai was genuinely worried that the various families in the city might go mad.

"However, Fellow Daoist Zhang, you don't need to worry. Because these demonic cultivators were too rampant this time, the Tang Family is already discussing with several major forces around them to launch a joint encirclement and suppression operation against the demonic cultivators.

At least three Nascent Soul-level forces will participate in this operation, so those demonic cultivators definitely won't make any moves again for a short period of time."

Steward Wang, fearing that Zhang Daobai would also be scared away, quickly spoke to comfort him.

"Is that so? That's great!" Zhang Daobai responded with a smile.

After chatting for a while longer, Zhang Daobai found an excuse to bid farewell and left the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce with Lin Luoxue.

On the way back, Zhang Daobai turned to Lin Luoxue and asked, "Where do you think we should go next?"

Lin Luoxue pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "How about Thousand Star Lake?"

"Thousand Star Lake?" Zhang Daobai had some understanding of this place.

Thousand Star Lake is located on the outer periphery of the middle section of the Xuantian Mountain Range and is one of the largest gathering places for Loose Cultivators in the entire Tianxuan Domain, controlled by an organization called the Rogue Cultivator Alliance.

However, this organization's management is very lenient and friendly to Loose Cultivators, so it attracts many Loose Cultivators.

Zhang Daobai constantly pondered the feasibility of this suggestion in his mind.

Although Thousand Star Lake is very prosperous and one of the largest gathering places for Loose Cultivators in the Tianxuan Domain, it is also a mixed bag of good and bad. Loose Cultivators are basically never good people, and a slight carelessness can lead to disaster.

However, precisely because it gathers a large number of Loose Cultivators, Thousand Star Lake has a vast collection of resources, making it easier to find Materials for Spirit Tamer evolution.

After returning to the Small Courtyard deep in thought, Zhang Daobai finally made a decision: their next destination would be Thousand Star Lake.

Danger and opportunity coexist; taking some risks is worthwhile if one wants to grow quickly.

After entering the Small World, Zhang Daobai activated the Spirit Fusion Contract Array and fused three spirit items into Lin Luoxue's body.

This Fusion did not take long; Lin Luoxue successfully fused them in less than half an hour.

[Overall Rating: Nine Stars]

After scanning with the Eye of Appraisal, Zhang Daobai quickly discovered the changes in Lin Luoxue's information.

First, her Aptitude had changed to Spirit Channeling Dao Body, and her Talents now included Spiritual Qi Affinity, while Five Elements Light Escape had become Elemental Divine Light.

The effect of the Spiritual Qi Affinity Talent is to increase Lin Luoxue's affinity for Spiritual Qi, thereby accelerating her absorption rate of Spiritual Qi.

Elemental Divine Light is an advanced Talent of Five Elements Light Escape. It not only retains the effects of Five Elements Light Escape but can also be used to attack enemies with Elemental Divine Light.

At the same time, Elemental Divine Light can also be used for defense, ignoring pure elemental attribute attacks of the same rank and below.

Unfortunately, this Talent, like Five Elements Light Escape, is exclusive to specific Physiques, so Zhang Daobai cannot obtain it through feedback.

Additionally, in Lin Luoxue's Evolution Plan, Zhang Daobai also saw the Evolution Plan for the Innate Dao Body, an advanced Physique of the Spirit Channeling Dao Body.

The Innate Dao Body is naturally close to the Dao, allowing for easy comprehension of Cultivation Techniques and ignoring Cultivation Bottlenecks, making it one of the top Physiques.

However, Zhang Daobai had never heard of the Dao Comprehension Origin Stone, the advanced Material for this Innate Dao Body.

But just from its name, Zhang Daobai could be certain that this was absolutely an extraordinary treasure.

"How do you feel?"

Zhang Daobai looked at Lin Luoxue, whose eyes were filled with joy, and asked, knowing the answer.

"I feel great! I feel my Cultivation speed has increased by at least more than double!"

Lin Luoxue's beautiful face revealed a radiant smile, which even made Zhang Daobai momentarily stunned.

"Next, we should focus on preparing the Materials for a special sword Physique. During this time, think carefully about what kind of sword Physique you want," Zhang Daobai said after regaining his composure.
