Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Inside the cave filled with a scorching aura, Lin Chang’an took out all the spoils from the last hunt of the thunder serpent.

A crystalline and transparent dragon skeleton, already dissected, appeared inside the cave, measuring over twenty zhang.

The Tier Three Late Stage demon core, densely packed dark purple dragon scales, sharp dragon claws, highly resilient dragon tendons, along with collected essence blood and flesh, were all preserved.

"These flesh and blood are not only top-tier materials for refining elixirs but are also spiritual objects for replenishing vitality and enhancing cultivation."

It can be said that every part of a dragon’s body is top-level material.

Even the dragon eyes are materials for crafting magical treasures.

No wonder among beasts of the same tier, those with dragon bloodlines are the most valuable. The purer the bloodline, the higher the value.

"Especially this thunder serpent’s spatial pouch, which is a storage bag unique to demon beasts, extremely resilient and hidden within its body."

With Lin Chang’an’s inventory, indeed, many treasures collected were from dragon bloodline, and most were things he hadn’t seen before.

Most of them were spiritual objects from the deep sea.

"Exotic flowers and herbs, along with these spiritual ores, spirit stones, and also the storage bags of over a dozen Core Formation cultivators, the harvest is indeed considerable."

This means that before being slain, this thunder serpent had already consumed over a dozen Core Formation cultivators.

The flesh and blood of demon beasts are considered great supplements for human race cultivators, and similarly, human race cultivators are of the same value to demon beasts.

However, relatively speaking, human race cultivators are physically weaker, so the value of a Golden Core is even greater.

"Killing people and setting fires quickly bring wealth."

Originally, he had visited Sea Abyss City, and the spirit stones in his storage bag were nearly depleted. As a result, after hunting a thunder serpent, he directly struck it rich.

Looking at the numerous resources, especially many of which are damaged magical treasures, Lin Chang’an, although emotional, remained utterly calm.

The experiences over the years, combined with his mental cultivation, will never allow desire to easily overpower reason.

Tribulation cultivation is good, but the risks are too high.

Seeking wealth in danger is also where it is lost.

This truth, he not only understands but has personally witnessed too many such events.

"Master!"

Perched on the Fusang Divine Tree, the Phoenix Cry Bird gazed at the pile of thunder serpent’s wealth, already staring at it with eager eyes.

However, after Lin Chang’an saw it, he couldn’t help but laugh and scold:

"You greedy bird, these all have their uses, but considering your previous efforts, I will personally refine for you a magic treasure level nest."

The Phoenix Cry Bird nodded excitedly upon hearing this, while Lin Chang’an smiled, organized the harvest, and then took out that dim scale armor.

"Next is to repair this ancient treasure according to the refining method, first using these low-tier materials for initial repairs."

At this moment, looking at the jade scroll given by Yun Yao, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but frown, then sighed again.

If he were to gather materials according to the jade scroll, he would need to become a Nascent Soul cultivator first.

For now, he had to settle for less.

"Next, let’s see what the legendary ancient treasure looks like."

After reaffirming the refining method, Lin Chang’an took a deep breath and slowly took out the prepared materials one by one.

If this ancient treasure is successfully repaired, even if only partially, it will become his strongest defensive treasure.

Moreover, it concerns his safety in the first secret realm of the Demon Beast Abyss.

"Refining begins!"

As Lin Chang’an’s expression turned solemn, the ancient treasure Four Symbols Dragon Scale Armor landed in front of the array platform, ground fire and his true fire began to burn.

With a foundation already, the difficulty of repairing was not significant.

Otherwise, even the basic materials needed for this ancient treasure weren’t spiritual objects he could collect.

...

As time passed, three months later,

Now, the treasure armor in the sea of fire had already begun to show spiritual light, reaching the most critical step.

The sealed jade bottle had also been opened, but the thunder serpent’s illusory essence spirit still had a fixation talisman stuck onto it.

Although this thunder serpent couldn’t move, the curse-like scolding of the divine soul was incessant.

Especially after seeing the current scene, it knew it was doomed, pleading for mercy, but this despicable human wouldn’t spare it.

"Despicable human, wait and see, I curse you never to have a good death!"

"Lowly human! How dare you refine me into a magical treasure, one day you will face the Dragon Race’s revenge... Ah!

Damn human, despicable! Ah... give me a quick death..."

As the essence spirit fell onto the scorching treasure armor, the thunder serpent’s essence spirit let out a painful wailing and howling.

Even with the array’s spiritual light surrounding it, Lin Chang’an’s true fire and ground fire were enough to obliterate this essence spirit.

"Curse all you want, there will be no more chances to curse in the future!"

Lin Chang’an’s expression remained indifferent, without anger.

Their wealth was not only given to him, but even their essence spirit was offered up for him to repair the ancient treasure, so what if they curse a bit?

"Human! I am unwilling..."

Amidst the unwilling and painful shrieks, Lin Chang’an continually conjured magic techniques, finally causing the treasure armor to flicker with spiritual light, slowly merging the essence spirit.

In the next instant, the treasure armor immediately radiated the unique spiritual light of a magical treasure, bringing Lin Chang’an immense joy.

"Finally succeeded!"

As the flames dissipated, this pale golden Four Symbols Dragon Scale Armor floated slowly in mid-air, its surface flickering with spiritual light.

No longer was it the dim object it had been before.

Lin Chang’an, elated, with a wave of his hand, summoned the Sun-piercing Divine Sword with a gesture.

In the next moment, as the flying sword struck, the Four Symbols Dragon Scale Armor emitted a pale golden protective shield.

With an ear-piercing collision echoing, the protective shield merely fluctuated twice, causing Lin Chang’an’s eyes to light up.

Then, enhancing mana, a giant sword pierced through, and the golden protective shield on the armor emitted a sharp sound.

Seeing that even though the mana shield dimmed slightly, it still didn’t shatter, brought Lin Chang’an immense joy.

"Truly a legendary ancient treasure!"

Overjoyed, Lin Chang’an, with a large wave of his hand, directly collected the Sun-piercing Divine Sword, then looking at the floating Four Symbols Dragon Scale Armor with a satisfied expression.

"Even with just an initial repair, its defensive power is already comparable to Tier Three Upper Grade defensive magical treasures. If I can gather the Four Symbols Power, this ancient treasure’s defense will further increase."

By then, even if it cannot compare to a Nascent Soul cultivator’s magical treasure, within Tier Three of Core Formation, it’s considered a top-level magical treasure.

The essence spirit of a Tier Three Late Stage thunder serpent alone doesn’t have such great power; the primary factor was that the treasure armor itself wasn’t destroyed.

"The material of such treasure armor, in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, has almost become extinct; creating a second set is exceedingly difficult."

Stroking this set of treasure armor, Lin Chang’an sighed inwardly, truly not knowing what splendor the ancient Immortal Cultivation Realm had.

Immediately, with a flash of spiritual light, the treasure armor was donned on his body.

The tight-fitting golden scales, with unknown beast patterns engraved on the shoulder and chest guards.

This treasure, with a thought, can release a golden glow forming a defensive mana shield; if the Four Symbols Power is gathered,

According to the jade scroll, the Four Symbols Power within this ancient treasure is endless, will automatically absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and will autonomously protect its master in times of crisis.

"With this magical treasure, I am now truly an all-rounder, no longer needing to be as cautious as before."

At this moment, Lin Chang’an’s satisfied expression, realizing that if he could gather the Four Symbols Power, he could confront the thunder serpent again with confidence, without being at a disadvantage.

Having this set of treasure armor, Lin Chang’an also felt much more secure.

"Next are these dragon scales and dragon bones, enough to refine a few sets of excellent inner armor."

At this moment, Lin Chang’an’s gaze once again fell on the organized dragon scales.

These were indeed premium resources.

However, this time Lin Chang’an took a deep breath, directly creating three clones, using them to refine magical treasures.

Next, he had an even more important task, which was to assist the Sword Servant in extracting spiritual bone and blood spirit, to refine the Lifebound Treasure that most perfectly aligns with his bloodline.
