Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 150 - 124: Fire Flame Evil Qi

Celestial Profound City.

Finally returning to the long-lost Immortal City, the sudden hustle and bustle around couldn’t help but bring a smile to the disguised Lin Chang’an.

"Indeed, even Foundation Establishment Cultivators don’t like being away from fellow cultivators for too long, it’s the lively atmosphere that’s preferable."

Perhaps some people enjoy solitude and quiet, but they can’t really spend a lifetime alone; they just prefer their own domain undisturbed.

Along the way, without alerting anyone, since with so many Foundation Establishment Cultivators in Celestial Profound City, who would bother to keep an eye on him.

Ultimately, upon smoothly returning to his own cave abode, Lin Chang’an released the Cyan-Horned Bull from the Spirit Beast Bag.

"Moo!"

At first, the Cyan-Horned Bull was wary of its surroundings, but upon realizing it was within the comfort of a cave abode, it gradually relaxed.

Although the big lump on its head was almost invisible, touching it still caused unbearable pain, prompting the Cyan-Horned Bull to cautiously lie in the pool.

While still basking in the sun, its agile ears perked up from time to time, clearly retaining a trace of wariness.

Seeing this, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.

"It seems this trip to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range has awakened the demon beast instincts within this Niu’Er."

Previously, it was too comfortable; though the Cyan-Horned Bull was robustly raised, it lacked the vigilance compared to wild demon beasts.

"But after all the hard work, it’s rare to relax a bit."

After years of arduous cultivation, Lin Chang’an rarely showed a relaxed expression as he entered the cave, enjoying a rare two-day rest.

But after those two days, he immediately resumed his daily cultivation, not daring to slack off even slightly.

Considering his poor Spirit Root aptitude and late Foundation Establishment, if not for awakening his talent and obtaining this ancient opportunity, he wouldn’t have made it this far.

Thus, he must not waste such a grand opportunity.

If he couldn’t even achieve Core Formation carrying such fortune, wouldn’t that be a massive loss?

...

In the cave abode.

Under the True Fire of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, a Purple Patterned Copper Furnace emitted waves of bright light, while the inside of the pill furnace exuded a faint fragrance as the elixir liquid fused.

"It’s finished."

Kneeling in front of the pill furnace, Lin Chang’an slowly retracted his True Fire, a satisfied smile on his face.

"This Evergreen Skill’s meridians are long-lasting, making it ideal for this kind of sustained alchemy."

As the pill furnace opened, seventeen pills shimmering with spiritual light were placed into jade bottles, adding to the numerous bottles of elixir already in front of Lin Chang’an.

"These elixirs are enough for a year’s cultivation."

At this moment, Lin Chang’an was extremely satisfied; although it was tiring, the harvest was worth it.

"This trip to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, aside from the Cultivation Technique, the biggest reliance was this Sword Formula and the Spiritual Eye."

With the Piercing Mist and Stone ability of the Spiritual Eye, in the toxin-filled depths of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, it was akin to a divine help.

Whether avoiding lurking poisonous insects lying in ambush or spotting distant dangers, it played a crucial role.

"Also, the power of this Sword Formula is now clear, understanding why he was called the Blood Evil Sword Monarch.

As this Sword Formula causes more harm to the body, the sword aura turns blood red, exponentially increasing its power."

At this, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but marvel, indeed practice makes perfect.

With a wave of his hand, a cyan sword aura circled before him, and in the next moment, he forcefully activated this Secret Technique, resulting in injured meridians, turning the cyan sword aura red.

At the same time, its power doubled compared to before.

"Truly a Demonic Cultivation Technique that wounds the enemy of a thousand at the cost of eight hundred."

As the sword aura dissipated, a satisfied smile appeared on Lin Chang’an’s face.

[Evil Essence Sword Formulas (Mastery 982/1000)]

Moreover, as long as you’re not afraid of the side effects, Demonic Cultivation Techniques progress rapidly.

This trip to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range also allowed for the exploration of his Self-Healing Body’s ability; in the future, should the chance arise, he must seek more Demonic Cultivation Techniques.

"Of course, those that consume life force, or reverse yin and yang to change gender, are not feasible."

Even though this Evergreen Skill combined with Lifebound Spirit Plant feedback results in a strong Self-Healing Body, it can’t recover from such injuries.

[Spiritual Eye (Grandmaster 232/5000)]

"Furthermore, for the Spiritual Eye, it’s time to acquire more Spirit Liquid, as both the Spiritual Eye and Lifebound Spirit Plant cultivation require it."

Subsequently, Lin Chang’an stood up, cleared the cave abode along with the pill aromas on the jade bottles, and stored them in the Storage Bag.

...

"Have you heard? Our Celestial Profound City’s Master Lu has issued bounty notices against the genius disciples of Li Huo Palace and exceptionally skilled cultivators."

"Bounties? These Major Sect geniuses have long been on the bounty list; see how many have succeeded?"

On the streets of Celestial Profound City, countless cultivators discussed the current turbulent situation, a thin late-stage Qi Refining cultivator even sighed, not optimistic about the city’s bounties.

"Indeed, the Three Major Sects in Yue Kingdom have long been at odds; secretly, none let an opportunity slip by, but us Loose Cultivators?

Even if you kill these sect disciples, what’s next? Do you have backing? Or do you think someone will intercept retaliation for you?"

A fellow cultivator, dissatisfied, retorted, "Then why is it that the bounty on us Loose Cultivators stirs so much anxiety?"

The thin cultivator helplessly sighed, revealing the hardship within.

"Because we Loose Cultivators’ lives are cheap, if we die, so be it, and it’s always us internally killing each other.

There’s a chance to join a Major Sect, eagerly hoped, but have you seen sect cultivators wanting to defect?"

"You talk of bounty, but would these people give up being good sect disciples to become Loose Cultivators?"
