The Five Dragons Island Market is established at the foot of the Spirit Peak in the central area.

This Spirit Peak is the place where the Island Master cultivates, and the Island Masters of each sea area are all appointed by Bihai Palace.

The spiritual energy here is abundant, but ever since the passing of this Dragon Island Master, Bihai Palace has yet to select a new Island Master, leaving it vacant.

This time, a few Core Formation cultivators from the Law Enforcement Hall of Bihai Palace have come to reside here.

"Steward Jiang!" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

After Hu Jin returned from meeting a friend, he came to report the situation. This late Core Formation black-faced strongman, upon hearing this, waved his hand with a smile and said:

"Alright, no need for such formalities between us. It’s just a Tier Three Fire Dragon Talisman. However, your friend, though with some talent, still has a somewhat limited perspective."

This black-faced strongman named Ding listened and then shook his head, smiling.

These loose cultivators, clearly discovering their own talent in arrays, yet for the sake of trivial profits, they waste time on talisman painting, completely squandering their talent.

Focusing on one skill is enough; pursuing two will only delay cultivation.

But Hu Jin, hearing this, could only respond helplessly with cupped hands:

"Steward Ding, it’s easy for you to say. The difficulty of being a loose cultivator is that you have to fight for every resource yourself. Given a choice, who wouldn’t want to devote themselves entirely to cultivation?"

Old Hu grinned, then took out some spirit stones to share with Steward Ding.

One cannot eat alone.

...

Profound Sound Pavilion.

"Mr. Lin, you’ve kept this from me quite well."

On this day, Lin Chang’an came to visit, entertained by Fairy Ni Chang with spirit tea, and expressed the desire to view the sect’s Tier Three talisman inheritance.

Fairy Ni Chang realized that this Elder Lin was likely already a Tier Three Talisman Master.

Facing Fairy Ni Chang’s teasing, Lin Chang’an waved his hand and said:

"It’s not that I’ve been hiding anything. In the ever-changing Immortal Cultivation Realm, one must be cautious to get where I am today."

Lin Chang’an looked helpless, as if lamenting the hardships of being a loose cultivator.

This was something Fairy Ni Chang couldn’t fully relate to, but she was aware of the difficulties faced by loose cultivators.

Lin Chang’an had revealed himself to Fairy Ni Chang after careful consideration.

After advancing to Pill Formation, his potential increased significantly, and notably, his Cyan-Horned Bull had also broken through to Tier Three. Even if exposed, his current strength was sufficient to protect himself.

Moreover, anyone with a basic understanding would know the challenges of the Talisman path he had persevered through.

If he truly had unparalleled talent, he wouldn’t have struggled for twenty years after learning talismans before finally mastering it.

His progress in the Talisman field would draw no suspicion, being a result of accumulation and moderate talent.

As for arrays, it’s purely based on comprehension. Back in Celestial Profound City, True Monarch Lu’s disciple often praised his talent in arrays.

"For a True Pill cultivator with a Tier Three Spirit Pet as protection, it’s nothing compared to top talents under Nascent Soul influence."

After reflecting, Lin Chang’an realized that, along with the comfort he experienced at Profound Sound Pavilion and his years of interaction with Fairy Ni Chang, revealing his Tier Three Talisman Master status benefited both him and Profound Sound Pavilion greatly.

"No wonder when you killed that tribulation cultivator, there were mana traces of the Blood Evil Sword Talisman Treasure on the scene."

While Fairy Ni Chang was surprised, upon closer consideration, the signs were there.

Lin Chang’an understood then that when he countered and killed the remnants of the Divine Sword Sect, the sword servant used a Talisman Treasure.

For the aftermath, he deliberately left some traces.

Now, with his own revelation and some details combined, it naturally made sense.

"Don’t worry, Mr. Lin. In fact, within our sect, the Tier Three talisman inheritance has only one complete set; the rest are incomplete."

Fairy Ni Chang, recalling the slightly boastful words when trying to recruit Lin Chang’an, couldn’t help but lower her eyes, focusing on the spirit tea.

Lin Chang’an, upon hearing this, was speechless.

However, thinking about it carefully, it made sense. In a small place like the Yue Kingdom, having never heard of anyone with Tier Three skills, how could the major sects waste resources on this?

"But Mr. Lin, although we are Core Formation cultivators, our energy is limited, and cultivation remains the priority."

Sipping the spirit tea slowly, Fairy Ni Chang spoke at a measured pace, clearly having given it some thought before speaking.

Lin Chang’an, hearing this, couldn’t help but smile.

If you were like the typical sect leader to an honored guest elder, you’d naturally want more profits created.

But Fairy Ni Chang’s words were a reminder not to let cultivation be delayed.

"Thank you, my friend."

Lin Chang’an’s sincere cupped fists allowed Fairy Ni Chang to breathe a sigh of relief, her face breaking into a smile.

"Friend, I’ll go and have the sect’s talisman inheritance transcribed for you."

Soon after, without misunderstanding, Fairy Ni Chang, considering the matter shouldn’t be leaked, personally went once.

Lin Chang’an again cupped his hands in thanks.

The escape light speed of a Golden Core cultivator is extremely fast; moments later, Fairy Ni Chang returned with escape light, holding several bundles of jade scrolls.

"Tier Three Spirit Armor Talisman!"

Seeing that the inheritance from Profound Sound Pavilion was the Spirit Armor Talisman, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but show delight.

Though it wasn’t the lightning or fire-type talismans he most desired to counteract evil, this was still quite good.

"The Spirit Armor Talisman, a purely defensive talisman, formed purely from mana without any attribute; although slightly inferior in defense, it isn’t countered by attributes..."
