Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 235 - 157: Beast Tide, Bargaining for Life [Happy Holidays]

Although very tempted.

However, Lin Chang'an thought of the war in Yue Kingdom, which for him was a good opportunity.

"Old Hu, usually you keep an eye out for me and see if anyone is willing to sell Tier Two Talisman inheritance, as well as some arrays."

In chaotic times, inheritance is worthless, and strength is the capital for survival.

Many families, when on the brink of crisis, will grit their teeth and sell some inheritance.

This is also why, after a chaotic era, countless old forces are reshuffled, and new forces rise.

"Alright, Brother Lin, rest assured, we should carefully consider this matter, at least wait for the Tier Three Demon Beast to show up, then is the time to buy low."

After running the black market for a few years, Old Hu also learned some business ways.

Buying at the lowest point, either gets stuck in hand or earns a hefty sum.

Lin Chang'an shook his head with a smile; in such turbulent times, there is no moment to pause.

...

After Old Hu left, within a few days Shen Lie, Lu Qingqing, and Wei Buyi came to visit.

As expected, the presence of a Tier Three Demon Beast had a massive unsettling effect on people's hearts.

In the pavilion of the cave mansion.

"Brother Lin."

"Brother Lin."

The four sat under the stone seat, all looking somewhat solemn.

Finally, it was Lu Qingqing who sighed lightly and, somewhat embarrassed, clasped her hands and said:

"Brother Lin, the situation in Yue Kingdom is increasingly turbulent, and outside Celestial Profound City, it's chaotic. We came this time..."

When he heard that the three came to inquire about the situation, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but sigh; how similar this scene was.

Back then, when they were still Qi Refining Cultivators and the external situation was unstable, wasn't the first thought also to seek information from Yun Yao, who had already reached Foundation Establishment?

Ultimately, in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, strength is paramount.

Cultivators of different realms have entirely different access to information and circles.

"Currently, the situation seems somewhat unfavorable. In facing the joint forces of the two major Sects, the Profound Sound Pavilion is at a disadvantage in the battle, and the two major issues facing Celestial Profound City now.

Master Lu's lifespan is coming to an end, and the beast tide is approaching..."

As Lin Chang'an shared the intel he had learned, the expressions of Shen Lie, Lu Qingqing, and Wei Buyi became exceedingly grave.

For a Foundation Establishment Cultivator like Lin Chang'an, no matter how bad the situation gets, he could always just run away.

But for a Qi Refining Cultivator, what do they have to run with?

In the end, after the three exchanged glances, Lu Qingqing solemnly said:

"Brother Lin, the current situation is tense, and no one knows what the future holds. Over the years, our two families have saved some resources and Spirit Stones for Fan'Er and Yingying.

Brother Lin, with your advanced cultivation and extensive connections, we want to trouble you this time to help purchase some Foundation Establishment Materials, or a Foundation Establishment Pill will do."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'an frowned.

"As far as I know, that boy Shen Fan and Yingying are only thirty-four years old now, and although there have been many Demon Beast Materials in recent years, their cultivation is still lacking."

Their talents are admittedly good, and combined with better cultivation resources from a young age, their cultivation isn't bad, but they still have a few years to reach Qi Refining Perfection.

This is something Li Yifan wasn't as fortunate with. One reason is that Li Erniu has many descendants, and the other is that, initially, Erniu's cultivation or status.

The resources earned for Li Yifan at first could not compare to what came later.

"You jest, Brother Lin, how could we dare hope for them to Foundation Establish now?"

Lu Qingqing gave a wry smile, and Wei Buyi on the side sighed deeply and shook his head, saying:

"Brother Lin, we do not dare gamble on whether there will be such a good opportunity in the future, nor do we dare gamble on whether we can keep these resources. Better to entrust them to Brother Lin's care."

It turns out the three of them saw the current turmoil, and this Foundation Establishment Material upheaval is an aspect.

More crucially, if something indeed happens to Celestial Profound City, they'd have Spiritual Stones and materials but have no means to refine a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Pitiful are the hearts of parents everywhere.

When Lin Chang'an took the materials and Spirit Stones handed over by the three, his eyes flickered; Wei Buyi, without saying a word, had quietly amassed a considerable estate for his daughter.

The materials for a Foundation Establishment Pill, apart from a few main ingredients, were all gathered.

On this point, Lin Chang'an also understood, as Wei Buyi, after all, was an Upper Grade Tier One Pill Master, naturally accessing such materials.

Whether in earning Spirit Stones or collecting materials, it was all easier.

For Shen Lie and Lu Qingqing, being able to prepare these materials and Spirit Stones, he understood, given the good business at Gathering Immortals Tower and some dealings on the Black Market.

"Since you all trust Lin Mou, once Shen Fan and Yingying reach cultivation perfection, they can come to me for their Foundation Establishment Pill."

This promise from Lin Chang'an was almost a pledge that, as long as it was within his power, he would ensure the two had a chance to attempt Foundation Establishment.

"Thank you, Brother Lin."

"Thank you, Brother Lin."

The three, feeling melancholic, realized they had nearly emptied their lifetime assets this time.

But there is always such a day.

Most of the Immortal Cultivation Realm revolves this way.

The unfulfilled desires of one's life are entrusted to the next generation.

And with a protective parental figure in front, the next generation of Loose Cultivators has a somewhat easier path.

As the issue with the three resolved, they all revealed smiles, happy to have gathered at last.

Afterward, the four chatted freely.

The difference is that as they aged, watching the changes in former friends, they all lamented how relentless time was.

Lin Chang'an still appeared young, while they had aged.

...

In the following months, rumors flew all over Celestial Profound Immortal City.

Most were not very good news.
