Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 153 - 125: Golden Core Opportunity (Part 2)
"Mr. Yun, what was the matter you wanted to entrust me with earlier?"
Lin Chang’an did not mention the opportunity, but first asked about Yun Yao’s original intention.
Yun Yao simply smiled, not hesitating to take out a Jade Scroll from her Storage Bag.
"Forbidden-Breaking Talisman!"
Upon seeing the contents of the Jade Scroll, Lin Chang’an was shocked; it was actually the inheritance of a Tier Two Forbidden-Breaking Talisman.
The Forbidden-Breaking Talisman, as the name suggests, is specifically used to break Array Barriers.
Though it is a Tier Two Forbidden-Breaking Talisman, it is generally held by Major Sects and large clans, rarely found outside.
After all, the Forbidden-Breaking Talisman is generally only useful when attacking a family residence with a Defense Array.
Therefore, this Forbidden-Breaking Talisman is hard to sell and naturally exceedingly rare.
Yet Yun Yao took it out at this time, linking it to the opportunity mentioned later, causing Lin Chang’an’s brows to furrow slightly.
But Yun Yao, with her straightforward personality, did not beat around the bush, smiled frankly, and stated her previous intention.
"In Celestial Profound City, there aren’t many Tier Two Middle Grade Talisman Masters, and Tier Two Upper Grade Talisman Masters are even fewer, but Yun Yao does not trust these people.
Brother Lin is extraordinarily talented in the art of Talisman, and this opportunity is not something that can be planned in a short time. I believe Brother Lin will eventually break through to become a Tier Two Upper Grade Talisman Master."
Hearing this, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but feel relieved and expressed his gratitude:
"Thank you, Mr. Yun, for your trust."
Since Yun Yao could say this, it clearly indicated that she did not initially intend to invite him to participate in this opportunity.
After all, he was just an ordinary Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator before, and the intent was merely to exchange this Forbidden-Breaking Talisman inheritance for a certain amount of Talismans.
But after discovering Lin Chang’an’s impressive combat capabilities at the Treasures Tower, she changed her mind.
"To be honest, Mr. Yun, although every step after Foundation Establishment for a Loose Cultivator is difficult, I am not willing to accept that others can succeed in the Immortal Cultivation Realm and I cannot."
With the conversation reaching this point, Lin Chang’an naturally had nothing to hide, directly revealing his firm aspiration to pursue Core Formation.
If there was no such resolve, how many Foundation Establishment Cultivators would risk venturing into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range?
Upon hearing this, Yun Yao couldn’t help but smile.
Reaching their current step, they had already started to experience the loneliness of a cultivator, and having a like-minded and trustworthy friend on the path was indeed a fortunate thing.
The two said no more, raising their wine cups and finishing them in one go.
Then Yun Yao took a deep breath, her face gradually showing a solemn expression.
"Brother Lin, do you want to form a Golden Core?"
Pfft!
Lin Chang’an almost spat out his wine, staring with wide eyes. Although he didn’t know what kind of opportunity it was, Yun Yao’s opening seemed a bit too high.
He was only at early-stage Foundation Establishment.
However, Yun Yao’s expression was serious as she began to recount a secret story on her own accord.
"Brother Lin, the Profound Yin Divine Sect has already established a foothold in the Demon Beast Abyss, why intervene in the Yue Kingdom? Haven’t you thought about it?"
Compared to the Demon Beast Abyss, the resources of the Yue Kingdom are quite scarce.
Even Lin Chang’an frowned at this, but it was completely not something he should be considering.
Yun Yao spoke in a solemn voice, "The ancestor of the Profound Yin Divine Sect went into seclusion a hundred years ago, rumored to be cultivating a powerful Divine Technique, but still sent out a Protector.
It’s said that the Three Major Sects of Yue Kingdom seem to have discovered traces of the former Sect Leader of the Profound Yin Demon Sect’s disappearance..."
Listening to Yun Yao’s words, Lin Chang’an involuntarily took a deep breath; the former Sect Leader of the Profound Yin Demon Sect, that’s a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.
"Mr. Yun, if it’s a secret about a Nascent Soul Cultivator, let’s stop here."
After recovering from the shock, Lin Chang’an quickly composed himself, stopping Yun Yao from continuing.
He was just a little ant in Foundation Establishment, getting involved in the opportunities of a Nascent Soul being? What difference is there from seeking death?
Seeing Lin Chang’an’s cautious demeanor, Yun Yao couldn’t help but chuckle, shaking her head with a smile:
"Brother Lin, Yun Yao is not someone who doesn’t understand the vastness of heaven and earth, daring to covet the opportunities of a Nascent Soul great being."
This reassurance allowed Lin Chang’an to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Sometimes when an opportunity is too great, it is no longer called an opportunity, but a Life-Ending Talisman.
"To put it bluntly, the Profound Yin Divine Sect’s interference in the Yue Kingdom is to prevent its Secret Techniques from falling into others’ hands. Of course, these matters don’t really concern us much."
Yun Yao, with a solemn expression, slowly revealed some secrets.
"The key point is, before Master Lu returned, Blood Evil True Master, a late-stage Golden Core Great Cultivator, returned a hundred years ago.
And this Blood Evil True Master disappeared while searching for traces of the previous Nascent Soul Cultivator of the Profound Yin Divine Sect."
As Yun Yao narrated slowly, Lin Chang’an came to understand the ins and outs.
In short, Yun Yao isn’t foolish enough to greedily desire the inheritance of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, but an inheritance of a fallen Golden Core Cultivator is quite tempting.
Especially the upper echelons of the Three Major Sects of Yue Kingdom, those Golden Core Elders are probably all eyeing the relics of the Nascent Soul True Monarch.
However, Blood Evil True Master? This is related to the Cultivation Technique he acquired in the auction, could there possibly be a connection?
Countless thoughts raced through Lin Chang’an’s mind.
"Mr. Yun, to be honest, I am very tempted, but affairs involving Golden Core Cultivators aren’t something the likes of us Foundation Establishment cultivators can partake in."
Although Lin Chang’an felt some temptation, after pondering for a moment, he chose to remain cautious.
Yet Yun Yao, with a sudden smile, brushed back her hair, saying with a smile:
"What if I have definite information that the Blood Evil True Master has fallen?"
"Confirmed fallen!?"
Lin Chang’an was taken aback, Yun Yao was so certain.
Yun Yao simply nodded, "According to reliable information, before Blood Evil True Master returned, he traded a bottle of Tier Four Spirit Liquid with Master Lu."
