Cultivation System: Stronger with Age

The power of this Heavy Water Spiritual Object is incredible. It seems that this time, I must seek diligently in the Ba Mountain Secret Realm for more Heavy Water Spiritual Objects. Although I've reached the Fifth Layer, Young Lady and Yu Fei still haven't. And in the future, for the dozens of children we might have! It's always good to prepare more of such precious Spiritual Objects!

Feeling a surge of motivation, he instructed the shadow to rise. He then pulled the sleeping Liy Ruoqing and Liy Ruo Ying, who were by a giant rock, to their feet. "Let's go! On to the next Cold Pool!"

「In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had already passed.」

With Lin Xuankong's Cultivation Speed greatly increased, he no longer felt the urgency to head to the Secret Realm Center.

After all, Tier Six Corpse Scorpions are there. And who knows if, after all these years, there might even be Tier Seven Demon Scorpions at the center? To be on the safe side, Lin Xuankong naturally wanted to improve his strength and prepare thoroughly before heading to the Secret Realm Center! Moreover, Heavy Water Spiritual Objects are so miraculous; of course, he wanted to collect more!

So, over these ten-plus days, he wound his way for many hundreds of miles. Of the numerous Cold Pools marked on Zheng Yunrui's map, he had visited almost one-twentieth, turning each of those Cold Pools inside out!

During this time, he naturally encountered many teams of Cultivators. Not every Martial Cultivator, upon seeing the Profound Phoenix Flame, would head to the assembly point. The ones who actually went were mostly official Martial Cultivators or those connected to the officials.

However, the teams of Cultivators Lin Xuankong encountered, though composed of formidable Fourth and Fifth Layer Martial Cultivators, still struggled against Tier Five Corpse Scorpions.

Thus, at every Cold Pool he visited, there was always at least one team of Cultivators watching from afar as Lin Xuankong and his group slaughtered Corpse Scorpions. Then, they would see his party of four 'plunder' the Cold Pool and swagger off.

It's not that these Martial Cultivators didn't want to compete with Lin Xuankong and his men. The main reason was that Lin Xuankong's two 'slaves' had reputations that were too formidable. It was no joke; with the Master of the Great Marsh Hall and the Law Enforcement Hall Master of the Black Tiger Gang present, what clueless team of Martial Cultivators would dare compete for resources with two Hall Masters from the Black Tiger Gang!

After these ten-plus days, the amount of Heavy Water Spiritual Objects Lin Xuankong had collected had impressively reached a full eighty-two drops!

「On this day,」

Lin Xuankong was sitting on a soft couch, channeling True Qi to outline Inscriptions of the Dragon Capturing Array in the void before him, when he suddenly felt a flicker in his mind's Life Plate.

[Array: Demon-Catching Array: Entry Level 1/3,000]

Immediately after, the four words 'Vigorous in Old Age' faintly shimmered.

[Array: Demon-Catching Array: Entry Level 1/50]

Lin Xuankong couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion. Liy Ruoqing and Zheng Yunrui really hadn't been exaggerating. The path of Arrays was indeed far more difficult than Elixir crafting! No wonder that 'multi-talented' old Gang Leader of the Black Tiger Gang had spent a hundred years yet was still merely an Initial Grade Array Master! This Array Cultivation actually required a level of proficiency comparable to when I cultivated the Pine Crane Longevity Technique! And I actually had to study for more than ten full days, memorizing all three thousand incredibly complex Inscriptions, before the Array finally appeared in my Life Plate! However, now that this Array was in my Life Plate, my learning speed would be more than sixty times faster! I would far surpass that old Black Tiger Gang leader's learning speed!

Just as he was deep in thought, he suddenly sensed something and looked ahead.

「A moment later,」

About twenty to twenty-five miles away, a group of dozens of Martial Cultivators was rushing in his direction.

Among these fifty-odd Martial Cultivators, nearly a quarter were Fifth Layer, while most of the others were Late Stage Fourth Layer. However, every single one of them had a look of utter panic, fleeing in disarray. Nearly half had faces tinged with a purple-black aura, clearly afflicted by Corpse Scorpion Venom!

A dozen Fifth Layer Martial Cultivators and dozens of Late Stage Fourth Layer ones, beaten to such a state? The ones chasing them are probably Tier Six Demons at the very least!

Lin Xuankong slightly raised his hand, signaling the others to stop. He then stood on the soft couch, looking closely at the incoming group.
