Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 174 - 133: Trace of the Tribulation Cultivator

"Shut up! All of you, go back home!"

"Ancestor..."

However, Chen Qing's cold gaze frightened the Chen family members, and they quickly returned inside the cave.

Yet, as soon as they entered the cave and passed through the array barrier, Chen Qing, whose figure was stooped, turned around and delivered a loud slap under the astonished gaze of everyone.

The crowd gasped; although Chen Wen's cheek turned red from the slap, he hurried forward to support his grandfather.

"Grandfather, I was wrong, please don't be angry."

Pfft!

A mouthful of fresh blood was spat out, and upon hitting the ground, it emitted waves of cold air.

Before Chen Wen could speak, Chen Qing angrily rebuked:

"How have I taught you all these years? You've just reached Foundation Establishment, yet you're arrogant and look down on others. Don't you know you almost made a formidable enemy today?

You dare boast about being late-stage Foundation Establishment! Do you know that as loose cultivators after Foundation Establishment, we have no cultivation techniques, resources, spiritual artifacts, spells, or heritage? Where does your confidence come from?"

"Who do you think you are? A disciple of Master Lu from Celestial Profound City? Or a prodigy of the Three Major Sects? You're just a loose cultivator! A loose cultivator who, after consuming the Chen family's hard-earned two Foundation Establishment Pills, barely managed to reach Foundation Establishment!"

Chen Qing was furious, his eyes reddened as he scolded angrily.

The incident with the Zhou family girl was mostly just unpleasant behavior on their part, but not overly excessive.

But to brazenly defame and ridicule a Foundation Establishment cultivator, did the Chen family really think they had become some major family?

This is how you create enemies without cause.

Standing by, Chen Feng anxiously stepped forward to calm his grandfather.

However, Chen Wen was somewhat unconvinced. He admitted he had said something wrong, but he was not convinced by Lin Chang'an.

"Grandfather, the Zhou family is understandable, we cannot compete with them, but what's Lin Chang'an? He relies on talisman skills, why should he look down on us!"

Thinking back to when Lin Chang'an even refused to help with such a small favor, Chen Wen was filled with resentment.

"Now I want everyone to know that I, Chen Wen, have reached Foundation Establishment, and Lin Chang'an judged poorly."

"You!"

Chen Qing glared angrily at this disappointing child, he as a loose cultivator was cautious and never dared to easily offend others, yet this grandson dared to.

Arrogant like a fox assuming it's a tiger, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth.

Seeing this, Chen Feng and a few other family members quickly approached the ancestor.

"Ancestor, calm down, Wen is just young and impulsive, he just spoke quickly, and we've already admitted our mistake, haven't we?"

"Yes, ancestor, today is a day of great joy for our Chen family, should we really ruin today's celebration over an outsider?"

Faced with the persuasion of his family members, Chen Qing shook his head in anger, wanting to continue scolding, but looking at the joyous atmosphere in the cave today.

And seeing Chen Wen, who had just reached Foundation Establishment, being scolded harshly by him, Chen Qing's eyes reddened for a moment, eventually letting out a deep sigh.

"Feng'er, you're steady in handling matters, later take this spirit grass of mine and visit him to apologize on my behalf."

"Grandfather, but that is to treat your..."

Chen Feng hadn't finished speaking, but upon seeing Chen Qing's angry stare, he swallowed his words and nodded, "Yes, grandfather."

The celebration within the Chen family's cave for a Foundation Establishment was clearly dampened.

...

Meanwhile, in Lin Chang'an's cave.

"Brother Lin, there are really a lot of people in this world who are blind and will eventually court disaster."

In the pavilion, Yun Yao's brows showed a trace of evil energy, this was after all Celestial Profound City, if it were elsewhere, it wouldn't be resolved so easily.

Yet Lin Chang'an beside her simply chuckled, sipping a mouthful of spirit tea, waved his hand nonchalantly:

"The ignorant barking of a puppy, could it really affect my mood? With his arrogance today, tomorrow will eventually provoke strong enemies, and when the wall falls, everyone gives it a push..."

Lin Chang'an laughed and shook his head, for such a person, if you can't beat him to death with a stick, then you can't just teach a lesson, you have to indulge him.

Let him create a cataclysmic disaster, and when he regrets, looking on from above is also a pleasing sight.

Seeing Lin Chang'an's thoughts, Yun Yao's eye corner twitched, she thought Lin Chang'an didn't want to provoke anyone, who knew he had an even smaller mind.

But Lin Chang'an simply laughed and shook his head.

To offend with words alone, you might teach them a lesson at most, but could you really openly kill in Celestial Profound City?

This isn't the Demon Cult.

"Brother Lin, I think you might be better suited for surviving in the Demon Beast Abyss."

"Mr. Yun, don't say such things."

"I'm serious, Brother Lin, with your small mind and high skills, you would definitely survive."

Faced with Yun Yao's teasing, Lin Chang'an righteously waved his hands, though he's just a loose cultivator, he is also dignified.

Absolutely not a bad person.

Regarding the matter with Chen Wen, did he scold or personally teach him a lesson?

No!

Therefore, he is broad-minded.

Just as Lin Chang'an and Yun Yao were discussing cultivation insights while sipping tea in the pavilion, Chen Feng came to visit and apologize outside the cave.

Outside the cave, Chen Feng apologetically offered an extravagant gift, although he didn't see anyone, the brocade box in his hands was taken remotely, which made him secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Inside the cave, when Lin Chang'an opened the brocade box and discovered a spirit fruit, Yun Yao nodded slightly, saying:

"A four-hundred-year Earth Dragon Fruit, this person is indeed sincere."

The Earth Dragon Fruit grows around the lair of the tier-two communal demon beast, the Earth Dragon Beast, and is beneficial for cultivators in strengthening tendons and bones.

Lin Chang'an didn't pay it much mind and casually included it in his storage bag.

...

Meanwhile, Chen Wen, who had been waiting inside the cave, upon seeing his brother Chen Feng return empty-handed, couldn't help but reveal a smile.

"Brother Feng, did Lin Chang'an... Mr. Lin accept the spirit fruit?"

"Yes, he accepted it."
