Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

"Mr. Lin, you have finally arrived. Take a look at these materials; these are all refined by our Artifact Refiners from the Seven Kingdoms Alliance..."

"Indeed, with these materials, could Mr. Lin further enhance the Island Protection Array?"

Upon seeing Lin Chang’an, the two Core Formation Cultivators immediately showed a friendly smile.

Regardless of whether it was his skills as a Tier Three Array Master or Lin Chang’an’s cultivation, it was worthy of their respect and flattery.

Lin Chang’an also politely returned a smile, nodding with satisfaction as he looked at the materials and said:

"With these materials, the Island Protection Array can increase its power by thirty percent. Unless a Nascent Soul Cultivator appears personally, average Core Formation Cultivators will absolutely be unable to break the array."

Lin Chang’an was quite confident about this.

The first major deal taken down by the Bibo Island Market was having Lin Chang’an, this Tier Three Array Master, reestablish the Island Protection Array.

After all, the previous upheaval on Bibo Island had damaged the Island Protection Array considerably. More importantly, who knows if the last rebellion was leaked?

No matter if it’s out of personal reasons or other aspects.

The Island Protection Array needed to be replaced.

In terms of expertise in arrays, Lin Chang’an was naturally the most skilled among the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, plus sharing the same hometown background, the alliance naturally enjoyed befriending Lin Chang’an.

This made the Meng Family’s faction somewhat uncomfortable, but they did not want to cause trouble, and could only endure for now.

The Island Protection Array laid out by Lin Chang’an for Bibo Island is the Four Symbols Xuanwu Array.

An array of absolute defense.

The same array is used by cultivators regularly, and the scale difference between personal use and an Island Protection Array makes the setup vastly different.

Lin Chang’an naturally made a considerable profit from setting up this array.

Looking at Lin Chang’an, a Core Formation Cultivator who appeared like a small old man smiled and whispered:

"Mr. Lin, it’s heard that this time Meng Family has many good things to offer, including a thousand-year Dragon Blood Fruit.

This Spirit Fruit’s effects are exceedingly potent, but for Demon Beasts and Spirit Pets, it is an exquisite treasure..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chang’an revealed a grateful smile and cupped his hands.

"To think such a treasure appears; it seems I do need to prepare accordingly."

He naturally understood the goodwill of the other party.

Despite the Seven Kingdoms Alliance not being weak overall, this Meng Xinghai was a disciple of True Monarch Lu.

Factional interests struggle no matter where one goes.

Currently, on Bibo Island, two factions clash: the Seven Kingdoms Alliance and the Meng Family’s force.

Lin Chang’an cheerfully greeted all, and after surveying the market, took the array materials and began repairing the island’s array.

Simultaneously, he gathered a lot of useful information.

"Dragon Blood Fruit, it is a divine medicine for refining the physique, especially effective for Demon Beasts."

Lin Chang’an pondered silently, not considering it for his Spirit Pet.

After all, the Cyan-Horned Bull had just broken through not long ago, and it’s not yet very effective for it, while the Phoenix Cry Bird is still some distance from being Tier Three Late Stage.

In contrast, it’s quite suitable for himself.

"Progress in Tier Three Body Refining has slowed noticeably, and with Dragon Blood Fruit’s aid, my body refining cultivation can indeed accelerate."

As for the potent effects that human cultivators supposedly cannot endure, that was never a problem for Lin Chang’an.

With his physique at Tier Three Early Stage, coupled with his Self-Healing Body, he’s not inferior to same-tier Demon Beasts.

"Not only does the body refining boost combat power, but more importantly, I must catch up with body refining as soon as I advance to Core Formation Late Stage."

Upon thinking of this, Lin Chang’an pondered his plan to achieve Nascent Soul Formation.

Refining Body, Refining Spirit, and Refining Technique must reach Core Formation Late Stage; then using Lifebound Spirit Plant, the Profound Celestial Immortal Vine as a guide, can coalesce the Profound Celestial Spirit Body.

Aside from numerous wonderful usages, the most direct benefit of the Profound Celestial Spirit Body is significantly raising the chances of achieving Nascent Soul Formation.

"If given the opportunity, I must seize it."

This was the first grand event at the Bibo Island Market since the Seven Kingdoms Alliance took control of the island. The Seven Kingdoms, Meng Family, and True Monarch Lu’s disciple would bring out some quality items.

Currently, his cultivation proceeds steadily; even with the Demonic Qi assisting body refining, progress is not slow, but still requires time to catch up due to the short period of cultivation.

...

Several days later.

He received a message from Yun Yao regarding the return from the Bibo Island Market event.

This made Lin Chang’an a bit awe-inspired; that’s the prestige of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Their Seven Kingdoms Alliance, even Mr. and Mrs. Meng possessed strong Core Formation Late Stage cultivators, no matter how many extra, would not draw attention from these factions.

But having True Monarch Lu, a Nascent Soul Cultivator changes things.

Yet on this day, Fairy Ni Chang came along with a group of friends to visit.

"Mr. Lin, truly you are the finest Array Master of our Seven Kingdoms Alliance; your skills are unparalleled."

"Indeed, Mr. Lin’s resolute heart is admirable; when we heard of Mr. Lin’s reincarnation cultivation, we were greatly impressed."

"Absolutely, if Mr. Lin was not so elusive, his renown would have long been spread far and wide."

In the pavilion, this gathering saw Xu Lingfeng leading with two companions, smiling while occasionally casting glances at another person.

Lin Chang’an, having cultivated for hundreds of years, found that even during his Core Formation ceremony, he was never so praised, leaving him a bit speechless.

Of course, he was aware that Xu Lingfeng’s effort was not so much about praising him but instead trying to provoke Mr. Meng Xinghai.

"My friends overpraise; with Mr. Ni Chang present, I dare not show off."
