第三卷 幽州乱 第四百三十二章 鬼口脱险

One time, Heavenly Void Ghost Emperor no longer held back his strength; he was determined to shake off the opponent. However, the other party wasn't easy to deal with, and the battle raged fiercely.

On another side, Lin Xuan didn’t dare to linger for even a moment. He rushed forward in a flash, covering over two hundred miles before finally escaping from the other party’s divine sense perception.

However, danger had not passed yet. Nevertheless, Lin Xuan retracted the Beast Soul Flag and instead raised the Drifting Cloud Snowfall Sword, without any other reason, continuing to use their combined concealment technique with Yue'er. His body was almost depleted of spiritual energy; he could barely hold on!

He let Yue'er return to his sleeve for a rest while he continued running frantically, taking out some pills from his pocket and swallowing them. He also held two crystal stones in each hand, replenishing his magical power.

After fleeing for several dozen miles, Lin Xuan changed direction again and continued flying.

Over a hundred miles later, he changed direction once more...

Lin Xuan did this naturally with his own purpose. Even if the two old monsters had finished their battle, they couldn’t find him; an infant spirit’s divine sense was powerful but could not cover such vast distances.

However, following the principle of being overly cautious, Lin Xuan fled for three days and nights straight. Counting on his fingers, he estimated that it should be over ten thousand miles away from there, so this time, he should be safe without any worries.

Although Lin Xuan’s magical power was pure, after a fierce battle followed by such a long journey, he had been utterly exhausted.

He casually found an empty piece of land and set up a temporary cave in some secluded place. Then, he laid down the prohibitive array formations. After completing all these tasks, Lin Xuan’s magical energy almost depleted; he barely managed to drag himself into the cave for meditation and rest.

Firstly, he replenished his magical power through grand circulation, then slept soundly for two days. Only after this did Lin Xuan finally recover.

As for Yue'er, she was in better condition. During her battle with the Ghost Emperor’s avatar, she had only provided support, consuming much less than Lin Xuan. For the rest of the days, apart from using their combined concealment technique, she rested inside his sleeve. Therefore, when setting up the cave, she had already recovered most of her strength.

It was precisely because of this that Lin Xuan could afford to take a break without any worries. Even though he had escaped from the Ghost Emperor and Fairy Peacock’s pursuit, in the occupied areas, danger lurked everywhere. Without a high-ranking expert as a guardian, even sitting in meditation would have been nerve-wracking for Lin Xuan!

Fortunately, this time his luck was good. After several days, Lin Xuan had fully recovered from fatigue without encountering any dangers.

Inside the cave, Lin Xuan sat cross-legged and tapped on his storage bag. Several magical flags appeared, while he held a circular array disk in his other hand.

This item came into his possession during his travels as a cultivator. Since the destruction of the Extreme Yin Evil Spirit Array, Lin Xuan had always wanted to acquire a new set of array formations and prohibitive techniques. Unfortunately, this was rare and could not be easily purchased even with numerous crystal stones in the marketplaces.

Although Lin Xuan possessed *The璇玑心得* (Heart Refinement Method), his affairs were too many, and it would take decades of dedicated study to achieve any significant progress in array techniques. Therefore, making such an array himself was unrealistic.

However, this time, he had found what he sought without much effort. Not only did he obtain the Southern Bright Separating Fire, but from those cultivators, he also obtained these two treasures.

The葫芦 (gourd) didn’t need to be mentioned; its power had already been evident during his battle with the Ghost Emperor’s avatar. This array was far from ordinary as well.

Although Lin Xuan couldn't currently forge such things himself, his eyes were much sharper than those of his peers. The Azure Lightning Fire Array should have a slight edge over the Extreme Yin Evil Spirit Array in terms of power. It remained unclear how this cultivator obtained it—perhaps through inheritance or sheer luck—but these details didn’t matter; he now owned this array.

Like with magical treasures, while arrays don't require recognition, they still needed some ritualistic cultivation to be used more smoothly and effectively.

This process took three days without much time. After the Dan Fire’s purification, although the array wasn’t yet fully synchronized with his mind, it could function as intended now.

After all, this was a new acquisition; over time, he would naturally become more adept at using it.

The cave door opened with a rumble. Yue'er turned to look back: "Young Master, did you successfully refine it?"

"Yep," Lin Xuan nodded, his face showing an unrestrained joy. This time, although the danger was immense, the rewards were equally rich. He believed that in no time, his strength would soar.

Yue'er shared her master's happiness but also felt puzzled. After a moment’s hesitation, she asked about her concern: "Young Master, can you be sure that the Ghost Emperor and Fairy Peacock won’t find here?"

"Don't worry," Lin Xuan assured her. "I calculated that this rapid flight covered over ten thousand miles. Even if their cultivation could match those of old infant spirits, they couldn’t have such an extensive divine sense perception. Moreover, I changed directions several times; there’s no chance of being exposed."

"That's good." Yue'er exhaled in relief: "Then why didn't you refine your innate treasure here?"

"It’s not that easy," Lin Xuan shook his head with a bitter smile. "I’d like to, but the Southern Bright Separating Fire is still missing several ingredients."

"Missing?" Yue'er asked in surprise.

"Yes, but it doesn’t matter," Lin Xuan comforted her with a smile. "They are just auxiliary materials, and although rare, they might be available in the marketplaces."

"That’s good." Yue'er patted her chest, looking relieved as she turned to think: "Then what do you plan now, Young Master? Return to Spirit Medicine Mountain?"

"No," Lin Xuan shook his head. "Now that cultivators are engaged in a fierce battle with the厉鬼 (ghosts), although my cultivation is too low for dangerous missions, anything could happen during such large-scale battles. With this trip’s significant gains, I plan to refine my innate treasure and improve our cultivation levels before returning."

"Improving your cultivation level?" Hearing her master's grand words, Yue'er furrowed her brows slightly: "But Young Master, you only just reached the middle stage of condensing essence in the Qu Yin Mountains. In such a short time, it’s not easy to advance again."
