Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 169 - 131: Bountiful Harvest (Part 2)

"Mr. Lin, your aura is complete, I'm sure it won't be many years before you break through to the Middle Stage. Truly a cause for celebration."

Faced with Su Miaoyin's praise, Lin Chang'an nodded with a smile and said:

"These years of adventures have not been in vain."

Hearing the sentiment from Lin Chang'an, Su Miaoyin secretly nodded in agreement.

Many cultivators give up after many years of fruitless hard cultivation, feeling disheartened one by one.

"This Tier Two Spirit Liquid is helpful for cultivation, and since Mr. Lin cultivates a Wood Attribute Technique, the effect is even more significant."

The assistance of Spirit Liquid in cultivation varies in effect depending on the attribute of the cultivation technique, with Wood Attribute being the best, followed by Water Attribute Technique.

This can be considered a boon for cultivators practicing Wood Attribute Techniques.

After all, the power of ordinary Wood Attribute Techniques often falls short.

"It's thanks to Celestial Profound City for opening these resources to loose cultivators like us."

Lin Chang'an sighed, although the situation in Yue Kingdom is turbulent, the advantages are relatively clear, with some precious resources open to the public.

Otherwise, a skillful woman cannot cook without rice.

The two drank tea and talked about the Dao, but as they spoke, Su Miaoyin shifted the topic to arrays, from which Lin Chang'an greatly benefited.

This Mr. Su is the most knowledgeable cultivator in Celestial Profound City in the area of arrays.

Every time they discuss arrays, he gains profound insights.

The deeper the understanding of arrays, the more powerfully they can be controlled.

Ordinary cultivators purchase arrays and, using clumsy and rigid methods, can at most unleash seventy to eighty percent of the array's power.

"Mr. Lin, your talent is extraordinary. It's truly a pity."

Every time, Su Miaoyin sighs that it is rare to find a cultivator who understands arrays, which is why she occasionally discusses them with Lin Chang'an.

One to unravel the tediousness of the array path, and the other to give Su Miaoyin a sense of achievement due to Lin Chang'an's remarkable talent.

"Mr. Su, you flatter me. If it weren't for my talisman skill, I wouldn't have made it to where I am today."

Lin Chang'an, knowing himself, gave a carefree smile.

He only needed to provide emotional value to the other party to gain experience, which he was more than happy to do.

Su Miaoyin, with a cold demeanor and dressed like a Taoist nun, nodded with a smile, her captivating eyes stirring.

Even someone as experienced as Lin Chang'an avoided her gaze.

Rumor has it, and perhaps it's true, that Mr. Su was born with a seductive charm, and if Lin Chang'an's Dao heart weren't firm, why would he be affected every time he saw those eyes?

"Mr. Lin, you have a steadfast mind. In these years, you have rarely purchased elixirs to enhance your cultivation and have used few external items. It speaks to your wide ambition."

"Mr. Su, you overpraise me. It's just that in turbulent times, Lin Mou just wants to protect myself."

Lin Chang'an murmured inwardly that it's not that he didn't want to purchase Tier Two pills, but rather they were too expensive because of them.

That's why he secretly practiced alchemy by himself.

After a session of tea and discussing the Dao, Lin Chang'an departed.

However, after Lin Chang'an left the Treasures Tower, he pondered that Su Miaoyin seemed quite passionate in her speech.

Of course, he didn't believe he had much value.

"The intent to draw me in is clear. Is it true Celestial Profound City has reached this point?"

Lin Chang'an pondered that Master Lu hadn't shown up in several years, though it was said to be just the setting sun.

But unlike mortals, a Golden Core Cultivator should be able to hold on for some years, even if barely breathing.

Now he could only silently pray and hope that Master Lu could last a few more years; otherwise, if Celestial Profound City is disrupted, he wouldn't have a stable place to cultivate.

...

However, after Lin Chang'an left, another person appeared before the table where Su Miaoyin was sitting at the Treasures Tower.

"Mr. Yun, it seems the lover you occasionally meet at night has a very steadfast mind, as my alluring eyes couldn't sway him in the slightest."

The white-clothed Yun Yao, faced with Su Miaoyin's teasing, remained indifferent.

"Mr. Su, please don't joke like that. My Dual Cultivation Technique isn't the kind popular in the Demon Beast Abyss."

Upon hearing this, Su Miaoyin smiled even more, instinctively exuding even greater charm between her brows.

"It's been nearly twenty years since I came here, and to be honest, I'm still not quite adapted. Many things need false appearances, unlike in the Demon Beast Abyss.

As long as you're strong, you take what you want. Of course, there are benefits, too, as the annoying gazes are much fewer. I haven't poked out anyone's eyes in years."

Dressed like a Taoist nun, Su Miaoyin usually appears dignified, but today's face bore a dangerously sinister smile.

Yun Yao could only watch silently.

The Demon Beast Abyss is rich with resources, but desires are also more openly exposed, for countless cultivators gather from all over the world.

"Alright, a Dual Cultivation Technique but not looking for me? To my knowledge, legitimate Dual Cultivation Techniques don't restrict gender at all."

The next moment, revealing her demonic nature, Su Miaoyin raised her dust whisk lightly against Yun Yao's chin, a seductive expression on her face.

Even Yun Yao, a female cultivator herself, felt her heart flutter at this moment, despite being confronted by someone dressed as a Taoist nun.

However, the next moment, Yun Yao's expression changed as she glared and said, "Don't use your Charm Skill on me."

Su Miaoyin laughed softly, covering her mouth, while Yun Yao shook her head coldly.

"To rely on you, I find that hard to trust."

"Yun sister, you've upset me. How about this, help me when I form my core, and after the deed is done, I'll tell you the secret technique my master used to enhance Spirit Root aptitude?"

Faced with Su Miaoyin's enticement, Yun Yao sneered coldly.

"Is there such a good thing? I didn't know when Master Lu became so generous."

There was one more thing Yun Yao didn't say, and that is, in the Sea Abyss City area, Master Lu, known for his stinginess and vengeance, is notoriously shameless.

It's said that when a certain Core Formation Cultivator offended him, when that person's life was about to end, Master Lu came knocking, not to find that person, but to go after their descendants.

This forced the near-death Golden Core cultivator, bitter and constricted, to be exhausted in the pursuit.

"If not, you help me to leave the Profound Yin Divine Sect, and I join Celestial Profound City."

"No, the temple of Celestial Profound City is small, whereas the Ancestor of Profound Yin entered the Nascent Soul Stage two hundred years ago."

Su Miaoyin shook her head coquettishly, for she knew the deep roots of the Profound Yin Demon Sect were not something they could offend lightly.

"Yun sister, but I have a word of advice, this Gui Water Demonic Skill is far from as simple as you think. If there's an opportunity, plan early."

Su Miaoyin said this with a gradually serious expression.

Yet Yun Yao shook her head lightly, her demeanor indifferent.

"I'm not like you, with a Golden Core father who could lead me away from Sea Abyss City. Right now, I have no choice, only by striving can I have a chance."

Facing Yun Yao's stubbornness and determination, Su Miaoyin sighed and shook her head.

In this Immortal Cultivation Realm, there is no room for willful behavior; people only saw her distinguished Golden Core master.

But they didn't know that when the Su Family was destroyed, she was left alone to cultivate arduously in the Outer Sea.

"Mr. Yun, will you help me then?"

"We'll see when the time comes."

Faced with the rejection, Su Miaoyin smiled and shook her head, her alluring eyes deeply fixing upon Yun Yao.

Yun Yao was like her past self, gambling her life for a future she couldn't yield to.

...

After returning to his cave dwelling, Lin Chang'an released the Cyan-Horned Bull, allowing his rare tense expression to relax, giving him a few days of good rest.

However, on the fifth day, Mr. Hu came to visit.

"Old Lin, you're truly deep and unfathomable. This life-saving grace is remembered by Old Hu, and in the future, should you ever need anything, Old Hu will not decline."

In a pavilion, Mr. Hu came bringing Spirit Wine and Spirit Flesh, showing full sincerity.

But Lin Chang'an shook his head and said, "Mr. Hu, you're too kind. That day, Lin Mou was merely disgusted by those rule-breaking tribulation cultivators."

"Yes, it's those tribulation cultivators making it so we can't even have a peaceful day of cultivation, where stepping out for demon hunting means not only facing the threat of demon beasts, but also guarding against those tribulation cultivators."

At the mention of tribulation cultivators, Mr. Hu couldn't help but be furious. This time they not only lost all their gains, but even lost a member of their three-person team.

"Ah, old Ning was unlucky this time, hunting demon beasts too deep, suffering some injuries, who would have thought that upon return, he'd be targeted by tribulation cultivators.

Now Old Jia is still recovering, so I had to come, because Old Ning has descendants."

As he said this, Mr. Hu also represented the apologies of that Mr. Jia, the cultivator's family name.

Lin Chang'an naturally understood and he took out the storage bag and spiritual artifact obtained from Mr. Ning's remains.
