Chapter 483: Chapter 257: Auction, Preparing for the Hunt

After more than twenty years of turmoil, the market fair in the Five Dragons Island Sea Region finally began to be held again.

The merchant ships from various forces once again appeared in the Five Dragons Island Sea Region, and finally docked at the pier.

During this period, Hu Jin became quite popular, visited by major forces.

Of course, at least a Fake Pill Cultivator would be needed; Foundation Establishment Clan cultivators simply didn’t have the qualifications to pay a visit.

"Old Lin, here is the catalog for this auction. Take a look; if there’s nothing you want, there’s no need to attend."

In the pavilion, Hu Jin appeared casual, while Lin Chang’an was filled with emotion, realizing how great power brought about significant changes.

Back when he was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he didn’t receive such treatment.

After achieving Core Formation, the catalog for the auction was directly in his hands.

Only after reaching Core Formation can one truly understand the impact brought by such strength.

As Lin Chang’an opened the catalog and browsed through it, he couldn’t help but frown, leading Hu Jin beside him to ask suspiciously:

"Old Lin, you can’t seriously be in desperate need of some treasure, can you?"

"Not really, just feeling that my Spirit Stones seem a bit insufficient."

Lin Chang’an shook his head, not overthinking it, but rather out of caution.

He had already told others that he got a Tier Three Middle Grade Demon Pill to pay off a favor, but continuing in this direction might lead to suspicion.

"So what exactly are you interested in, to make you so moved?"

Not beating around the bush, Lin Chang’an opened the catalog and pointed to three treasures within.

"The inheritance of the Tier Three God-determining Talisman, the Tier Three Lower Grade Spiritual Brush, and insights on array formations."

As Lin Chang’an directly mentioned these three treasures, Hu Jin’s eyes widened.

"Old Lin, you really are greedy!"

Others only knew Lin Chang’an as a Tier Three Array Master, assuming he was a Tier Two Upper Grade Talisman Master.

But Hu Jin was different. When they hunted the Tier Three Blue Crocodile Turtle, Lin Chang’an revealed his ability to create Talisman Treasures.

Being able to create Talisman Treasures was indeed a skill at the Tier Three Talisman level.

"But Old Lin, your talent and comprehension are simply unreasonable."

Hu Jin looked on enviously at Lin Chang’an, a Tier Three Talisman Master who later surpassed others by becoming a Tier Three Array Master through sheer comprehension.

Such talent and comprehension are not something ordinary people possess.

Of course, Lin Chang’an’s story isn’t an exception. In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, many have been buried due to resources in the early stages, never discovering their talents in their lifetimes.

Others find out in their old age.

In such cases, it’s often too late, and such phenomena are widespread in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Especially in the field of arrays, which rely purely on comprehension and are inaccessible to many ordinary cultivators, burying countless geniuses.

Someone like Lin Chang’an, who advances one step at a time along the talisman path, and later discovers his talent in arrays during Foundation Establishment, is quite normal.

This completely aligns with common sense.

"Alright, about this Tier Three Talisman skill, only you know. I haven’t told anyone else."

Seeing the playful old Hu, Lin Chang’an shook his head helplessly.

The number of prodigies in the Immortal Cultivation Realm is countless, like cattle and sheep; his achievements seem insignificant compared to those true prodigies.

Of course, that’s only what he’s revealed.

"The Tier Three God-determining Talisman is a talisman for targeting the Primordial Spirit. It can cause cultivators to lose control over their bodies, but it’s usually used against weaker cultivators, so its practicality is limited."

At this point, Hu Jin’s tone paused as he looked at Lin Chang’an with a strange expression, seemingly recalling their parting.

Lin Chang’an was hiding in the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea, and he remembered how Lin Chang’an’s Cultivation Technique inherently countered Yin Spirits.

"Of course, in the inner area of the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea, it’s highly effective against Yin Spirits. It also works well for sealing spiritual objects."

Hu Jin continued, and Lin Chang’an also valued this effect.

It’s not very practical against cultivators of the same tier, unless the opponent is seriously injured; then this talisman can control the opponent.

Of course, what he thought of was the Yin Spirit Beast King in the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea, whose pure Yin Spirit body would be a perfect match.

"The Tier Three God-determining Talisman isn’t very practical. Even though it contains talisman insights, the final auction price might only be around ten thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones, not more."

Hu Jin pondered for a while before saying a fairly moderate price. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"But the Tier Three Lower Grade Spiritual Brush is different; it’s worth at least fifty thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones, equivalent to an ordinary Magical Treasure."

The more Hu Jin spoke, the more he felt that Lin Chang’an’s gaze was off, and he couldn’t help but blurt out: "Old Lin, you don’t mean to have me step in, do you?"

Lin Chang’an smiled and nodded.

"The Tier Three God-determining Talisman isn’t a big deal, but when it comes to the Tier Three Spiritual Brush and array formation insights, I can only choose one, so I’ll have to trouble you, Old Hu."

Currently, Lin Chang’an had just over sixty thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones, and that was after receiving a wave of gifts at his Core Formation ceremony.

This amount was also due to years of income from array formations.

After breaking through to Core Formation, he hadn’t had the chance to indulge in Tier Three Elixirs, which contributed to accumulating a significant number of Spirit Stones.

"I just knew it."

Hu Jin shook his head helplessly, then spoke up to state his own demand.

"But Old Lin, I won’t help without a return favor. In the future, you must help me keep an eye on this Metal of the Five Elements in the Five Dragons Island Sea Region."

"Metal of the Five Elements!?"

Lin Chang’an was taken aback, then realized that after becoming a Core Formation Cultivator, many would naturally want to refine Magical Treasures.

"Alright, in the future, I’ll have the Lu Family and the people below to keep an eye out."

The two looked at each other and revealed smiles.
