Otherwise, many secrets will be exposed, which would inevitably lead to his death. Even with the magical powers of the Sky Fiend Demon Lord, under the encirclement of the Righteous and Demonic factions, he still didn’t survive, not to mention himself.

Of course, since he chose to return to Spirit Pill Mountain, Lin Xuan would naturally not leave easily, so the only way was to be more careful in the future.

For example, the restrictions that he placed in the surrounding area.

This was not uncommon. Those who pursue Immortality all have secrets of their own. Whether they were Immortal Cultivators or Demonic Cultivators, they’d usually step up restrictions using Array Talismans near their Cave Mansion to prevent others from sneaking in or prying.

Lin Xuan used to do this too.

However, the situation was slightly different now. The Spirit Pill Mountain was calm on the surface, but in the dark, who knew how many malicious eyes there are.

If the major forces sent spies, their cultivation base would certainly not be weak. The general Array Talismans would just be decorations to them.

Fortunately, he got a new set of array plates and formation flags from the Sky Fiend Demon Lord’s Cave Mansion.

The Extreme Yin Spirit Array!

He suffered a lot of hardship using his Spiritual Power to weaken it and spent half a month breaking this formation array, which also wasn’t under anyone’s supervision.

If the full power of this formation array was exerted, there should be no problem with trapping an expert of the Core Formation Initial Stage.

As long as this formation array could be mastered and be laid out in his own cave Mansion, he wouldn’t be afraid that his secret would be discovered. After all, Nascent Soul Stage old monsters couldn’t ignore their identity and come to spy personally. Even if there were experts in the Core Formation middle-stage or late stage, it should be able to resist them for a period of time, so Lin Xuan would have plenty of time to hide his secrets.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan flipped his hand, and an emerald green Jade slip appeared on the palm of his hand.

The array plate and formation flags were not as simple as the Array Talisman, which only needed to be injected with Spiritual Power. But the former needed a lot of research, and this Jade slip recorded everything related to the Extreme Yin Spirit Array. It wrote on how to arrange it, as well as various changes that needed to be addressed…

Lin Xuan held it in his hand and sank his Spiritual Sense into it.

Soon, several hours passed.

Lin Xuan spread out his Spiritual Sense, picked up the small blue flag, threw it into the sky, and at the same time displayed a Magic Art.

The small flag suddenly spun in mid-air, and a blue smoke burst out from it.

A satisfied smile appeared on Lin Xuan’s face. He then took out the other formation flags, and according to the method stated in the Jade slip, he surged his Spiritual Power through them one by one.

Finally, Lin Xuan took a palm-sized disc from his storage bag; there were a few faint light spots that appeared on it. Lin Xuan saw this scene and did not hesitate to cut his finger. A few drops of blood essence were absorbed by it according to the Magic Art…

At last, after they flashed wildly with a bright light, all the formation flags were gone. After that, Lin Xuan put away the array plate.

Wiping the sweat on his forehead, his first arrangement of a Formation Array really wasn’t easy, he barely did it according to the Jade Slip.

Fortunately, after spending all the time, there were no mistakes.

This made Lin Xuan secretly glad, and at the same time, he was amazed at the complexity of the formation. This was while still using the existing array equipment, he really did not know how much energy was spent in refining them.

No wonder that Formation Masters are even rarer than Alchemists.

If there was a chance, Lin Xuan would really like to read some books related to formations. Of course, he didn’t want to learn the art of formations. He knew his own situation clearly. It was not easy to achieve what he had today without Spirit Roots. If he wanted to have some achievements in the art of formations, he would have to practice it wholeheartedly. Which would affect his future cultivation.

Lin Xuan did not want to study formation arrangement methods, let alone refine them.

Just like alchemy. Although Lin Xuan’s pill refinement ability was a mess, he knew a lot about all kinds of pills and their recipes.

He’d just read some books, at his level, not only would it not take much of his time, but it would also be of great help to him in the future.

Of course, this was only a plan for the future. There would be a lot of difficulty in achieving it. As the junior sect master of Spirit Pill Mountain, all kinds of books related to pill can be read at will, but books related to Formation couldn’t be found here. Only if there was a chance in the future, he’d see if he could acquire it in a market.

Lin Xuan thought silently in his heart.

But no matter what, the Extreme Yin Spirit Array had already been set up, and with its power, there should be no problem in protecting his secrets.

Moreover, if Spirit Pill Mountain really encountered a disaster, he could resist for some time by escaping to his Cave Mansion. And while the enemy was trapped by the Formation, he could take the opportunity to slip away.

In short, there were many benefits.

With the formation as last resort, Lin Xuan was no longer as nervous as the previous two days. However, he did not start his cultivation immediately but decided to take a good rest for a few days after bathing.

After all, on this trip to the Kuiyin Mountains, he has gone through many hardships and dangers. No matter his body or mind, they were both tired, and after returning to the Spirit Pill Mountain, he studied the Cultivation Method and dealt with the Spirit Beast Egg without rest.

Although cultivators were far superior to mortals, after all, they were still flesh and blood. At this time, if he practiced half-heartedly, it would easily lead to Qi Deviation, and Lin Xuan naturally would not do such a thing stupid thing.

He was not in a hurry, so taking a rest was worthwhile.

He read a book and walked around Spirit Pill Mountain. On the surface, it seemed that he was indulging in the mountains and rivers. But in fact, Lin Xuan had his own considerations. Even if he was resting, he was unwilling to waste his time.

In the past few days, Lin Xuan was observing whether Spirit Pill Mountain was really the same as before. After all, one couldn’t just look at the surface and have to often start with the little details.

Sure enough, he noticed some differences. Although there were no Righteous and Demonic Path experts nearby, the cultivators asking for pill refinement suddenly increased by two or three times.

And these people were conversing a lot; they seemed to be inquiring about something.
