Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 168 - 131: Bountiful Harvest

Celestial Profound City.

After cautiously returning, Lin Chang'an did not directly go back to his cave dwelling but instead cleared the aura from his body.

He then deliberately went to the market trading area to purchase some spiritual objects to confuse his mana aura.

It wasn't until even the Cyan-Horned Bull showed a bewildered look, realizing its master's aura was completely different from before, that Lin Chang'an secretly sighed in relief and headed towards Treasures Tower.

"This group of tribulation cultivators, acting cleanly and decisively, also uses arrays—they must be disciples from a major sect. But how exactly do these people find cultivators?"

All the way, Lin Chang'an frowned in contemplation. Normally, they search by aura and use some secret techniques to set unique markers.

But as a cultivator who has been hunting demon beasts for years, there surely wouldn't be any negligence in caution.

"And then there's this Blazing Fire Array."

While thinking about the array discs and array flags in his storage bag, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but shake his head with regret.

"This group is too decisive, destroying the array flags without hesitation before fleeing."

Everyone knows the value of a tier two array—what ordinary tribulation cultivator would be willing to destroy one just like that?

The array disc was still salvageable, but the array flags were all bare, with only broken flag poles left.

It was clear that they activated something to destroy the array flags before leaving.

"A tier two array, even if damaged, is still rare."

Lin Chang'an nodded secretly, deciding to visit Celestial Profound City to see if it could be repaired.

To this day, he didn't own a set of tier two arrays, and yet a group of tribulation cultivators had one.

Treasures Tower.

"Mr. Lin, it's truly remarkable that this tier two White Phosphorus Python is so intact."

When Lin Chang'an once again came to trade demon beast materials, the old Foundation Establishment cultivator with the surname Feng couldn't help but nod in admiration.

He appreciated these resilient and striving cultivators who brought considerable profits to Treasures Tower every year.

"Mr. Feng, this set of Profound Iron Armor is badly worn and needs some repair."

When Lin Chang'an brought out the armor worn on the Cyan-Horned Bull, the elder Feng nodded quietly.

The armor had multiple traces of venom corrosion and marks from battles with demon beasts, suggesting the battles were intense.

However, over the years, Mr. Lin hadn't repaired any spiritual artifacts, indicating he wasn't weak.

As an experienced, veteran Foundation Establishment cultivator, he could gauge someone's general strength through certain items.

And Lin Chang'an had nothing to hide since his strength wasn't considered significant.

"But Mr. Feng, I did encounter a group of tribulation cultivators on my way back and obtained a set of arrays. I wonder how many spirit stones it would take to fully repair them?"

"No wonder Mr. Lin collected nine tier two demon beasts this time, and three of them had chaotic battle scars."

The elder Feng suddenly understood. He had felt something was off when he checked the materials from the nine beasts earlier.

But as the shopkeeper of Treasures Tower, he never asked cultivators about the source of their materials.

As long as they came to sell, he dared to buy.

Initially, the elder Feng was all smiles, paying little attention to the array. However, when Lin Chang'an brought out the array disc, his expression changed dramatically.

"Tier two Blazing Fire Array!"

"Mr. Feng, is there something about this array?"

Seeing the shift in Mr. Feng's expression, Lin Chang'an frowned and inquired.

The elder Feng scrutinized the pieces of the array disc for a while and sighed:

"Undoubtedly, this is from the Profound Yin Demon Sect or an offshoot, Li Huo Palace—the array differs slightly from a typical Blazing Fire Array."

At that moment, Su Miaoyin descended from upstairs, her clear voice echoing in the air. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"The tier two Blazing Fire Array can initially summon a Firebird to attack, with the equivalent power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator's strike. A quasi-tier three Blazing Fire Array, however, can summon a Fire Spirit Puppet of the Foundation Establishment Peak Realm for battle.

As long as the array remains unbroken, the Fire Spirit Puppet possesses inexhaustible mana and tremendous power."

"Mr. Su." Upon seeing the newcomer, Lin Chang'an respectfully clasped his hands.

At the same time, he was inwardly shocked by such power.

In the mystique of arrays, he had merely picked up a few techniques over the years from scraps and observations.

But compared to true masters of arrays, he was still far behind.

"Mr. Lin, your array disc is considered lower grade tier two, and all the array flags are destroyed."

Su Miaoyin came over, took the array disc with a glance, and shook her head, believing it wasn't worth much.

This left Lin Chang'an speechless. With a grand heritage backed by Master Lu of the Profound Tortoise, he naturally looked down upon it.

But as a loose cultivator, the array disc he picked up still had value and was naturally incredibly precious.

"Can it be repaired?"

Lin Chang'an asked a crucial question, even though arrays had many limitations, requiring prior setup and luring the opponent in.

But leaving what he'd picked up to waste would be a shame, and exchanging it for spirit stones would be even more wasteful.

Faced with Lin Chang'an's inquiry, Su Miaoyin pondered and finally nodded:

"Eight hundred middle-grade spirit stones, and I'll help Mr. Lin repair and improve this array disc."

Although he already knew that arrays were expensive, he hadn't expected repairs alone to cost so much.

This made Lin Chang'an feel a bit of heartache—if Su Miaoyin hadn't promised to help enhance it, he might have hesitated.

"Alright, thank you, Mr. Su."

This time, however, Lin Chang'an had made a big profit—expending just a tier-two Forbidden-Breaking Talisman to save Old Hu.

He also obtained materials from three demon beasts, as well as the entire possessions of a fallen, unfortunately unlucky cultivator.

"Mr. Feng, convert these into cultivation resources, tier two upper-grade spirit liquid, spirit stones..."

Lin Chang'an, as usual, converted all the materials into cultivation resources, which earned even more admiration from Su Miaoyin nearby.

After Lin Chang'an finished the exchange, Su Miaoyin even invited him to sit aside for tea and philosophical discourse.
