Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Celestial Spring Peak.

Since returning to Celestial Spring Peak for half a year, Lin Chang’an hasn’t hurried to seclude himself for crafting magical treasures; instead, he has attended two trade fairs in the market.

Exchanging the demon core of the Yin Spirit Beast King for resources, he appeared as if he had just returned from the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea, perfectly clearing any suspicion.

At this moment, as Lin Chang’an looked at the once again blooming peach blossoms, he couldn’t help but feel somewhat lost in thought, wondering about the figure under the peach blossoms last year, and how they are now.

"Master."

Just then, an escape light flashed, and the sword servant appeared respectfully at the rear of Celestial Spring Peak to report.

"This is the intelligence from the outer sea recently."

Looking at the jade scroll handed over by the sword servant, Lin Chang’an observed for a moment, the peculiar expression on his face growing more intense.

"It seems last time I helped Mr. Huang make a name for himself, and now this title of the first below Nascent Soul is truly widespread."

Besides the turbulence in various sea regions of the outer sea, the most famous in this intelligence from the jade scroll is Huang Tianxiao.

Since gaining fame after the battle of slaying the Thunder Jiao in the outer sea, the title of the first below Nascent Soul has spread like wildfire.

He even felt there are many forces behind the scenes promoting this, not just Bihai Palace.

Among Golden Core cultivators, few would desire this empty title.

There are even many powerful Core Formation cultivators, who, behind the scenes, are either discontent with Huang Tianxiao or sneering, yet outwardly they contribute to the hype.

The result is that in just half a year, the title of the first below Nascent Soul resounded through the Demon Beast Abyss.

"I imagine Mr. Huang must be extremely pleased, after all, the Demon Beast Abyss hasn’t seen someone so monstrously gifted in a long time."

At this moment, a gloating smile appeared on Lin Chang’an’s face.

He dared to say that Huang Tianxiao would find it unspeakably difficult now.

You say it’s not your doing, but who would believe it outside?

Especially given the divine technique similar to Profound Sound Soul Captivation back then, such a divine soul attack, affecting dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators, cannot be fabricated.

"Master, I’ve heard that after we left, there were traces of other Tier Three demon beasts on the island, but they soon vanished."

At this moment, the sword servant reported respectfully again, and Lin Chang’an’s smile widened further.

If it happens to be a close relative of this Thunder Jiao’s bloodline, then this becomes even more intriguing.

At this moment, he was somewhat hopeful that if that Dragon Jiao about to take shape could successfully break through to Tier Four, it would surely pose significant trouble for the Profound Yin Demon Sect.

The more occupied the Profound Yin Old Demon is, the safer Yun Yao will be.

As for who actually did it, no way would Huang Tianxiao suspect him.

The traces of battle on the island are all obliterated, yet there are many uses of the Li Huo Palace cultivator’s means remaining.

Moreover, whether regarding the strength of a Golden Core late stage or mastery in divine soul attacks, none of these are the strengths he displays publicly.

At this moment, Huang Tianxiao, even the Profound Yin Old Demon’s suspect, is probably a few old rivals, or is orchestrated by Bihai Palace.

In a mood as pleasurable as it is, Lin Chang’an leisurely savored this year’s spirit tea.

[Life Span: 213/785]

[Realm: Golden Core Middle Stage (22/100)]

His cultivation advanced steadily, and the spirit wine brewed from a Tier Three Upper Grade demon core will soon be ready, by then his cultivation will advance another tier.

"This is the Dragon Race cultivation technique obtained from that Thunder Jiao, you can look at it in your free time, but it’s not suitable for you."

Lin Chang’an handed a compiled bundle of jade scrolls to the sword servant, who respectfully clasped his hands after receiving it.

"Thank you, Master."

This jade scroll recorded the Dragon Race legacy, which he glanced at; the cultivation technique of the Demon Race differed vastly from that of the Human Race.

Even the mixed-blood sword servant is not suited to cultivating this Dragon Race technique.

But due to the Dragon Race bloodline in his body, some pure Dragon Race divine techniques may have suitable ones for him to learn.

Especially since this Thunder Jiao had a thunder attribute, and the sword servant also awakened a thunder attribute divine technique.

Recalling the power of the Water Gang Divine Thunder before, it still made Lin Chang’an shudder.

If not for the Lightning Absorbing Bead, he would have been severely injured if not dead.

However, upon seeing the sword servant, Lin Chang’an pondered for a moment, though he was unfamiliar with human-demon mixed blood, years of observation endowed him with some discernment.

"Divine techniques are certainly important, but right now your cultivation is everything, only by improving your cultivation can you reap twice the results with half the effort while cultivating divine techniques."

In the end, the sword servant is still too weak, and the cultivation conditions for this Dragon Race divine technique are extremely stringent, making it highly challenging at the sword servant’s current level of cultivation.

"Master, rest assured."

Facing the concern from his master, a rare smile appeared on the sword servant’s face.

Upon seeing this, Lin Chang’an shook his head with a smile, though there were parts of the Dragon Race legacy worth considering.

But the previous occasion yielded significant gain; not only did he acquire the dragon spirit material needed to repair the ancient treasure Four-Symbol Dragon Scale Armor, but also the materials for the sword servant’s lifebound magical treasure.

The gifts from this Thunder Jiao exceeded his initial preparations and were of top level quality.

"Ling’Er, these few bottles of elixir will replenish your vitality and blood. Once I come out of seclusion this time, I’ll prepare to craft your lifebound magical treasure."

"Yes, Master!"

Upon hearing about crafting her lifebound magical treasure, the sword servant showed a determined expression.

Her lifebound magical treasure is unique, requiring meticulous preparation, otherwise, it might cause a severe loss of primordial energy, even risking a drop in realm.

Soon, Celestial Spring Peak closed itself from the outside world; all cultivators are accustomed to such scenarios.

Only those Core Formation cultivators whose potentials are exhausted or lack resources indulge in pleasure or venture to the outer sea to hunt demon beasts.

...

Earthfire Cavern.

"The gains from last time truly are substantial."
