The third auction was about to begin, yet Yun Yao appeared out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Foundation Establishment, this person has been rather mysterious, and has been somewhat distant from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So late at night, she unexpectedly came to see him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Lin, I didn’t expect that in the end, only the two of us would reach Foundation Establishment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, the path of cultivation is long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing these words, Lin Chang’an also felt a bit sentimental, but the corner of his eye glanced at Yun Yao’s attire tonight, making his expression somewhat odd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A white celestial silkworm silk martial outfit, a white jade belt tightly around her slender waist, a flowing cloud pattern embroidered with gold thread on her shoulders, and a white jade crown bundling her hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This outfit felt somehow familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations, Mr. Yun, on your progress in cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, turning around, Lin Chang’an showed an expression of envy. He had just achieved Foundation Establishment, yet judging from Yun Yao’s aura, she should already be at the mid-stage Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difference between people is truly great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With top-grade spirit root aptitude, her cultivation speed did not slow down in the slightest after Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for him, with low-grade spirit root aptitude, the downturn was clearly showing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Progress in cultivation!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Lin Chang’an’s congratulations, Yun Yao’s beautiful moon-like face revealed a self-mocking smile, looking up at Lin Chang’an with somewhat bewildered and envious eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Lin, do you know, from the first day we met, I was filled with envy for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the mundane world, you could be carefree, while I was trapped within the prison of the Prince Mansion. Do you know what my first thought was when I learned about cultivation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Yun Yao drink from her cup, the topic suddenly shifted, leaving Lin Chang’an somewhat at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Yao’s deep black eyes were filled with longing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To be able to soar like a bird, perhaps Mr. Lin you might laugh at me, thinking I understand nothing of the hardships outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Yun Yao smiled even more self-deprecatingly, yet Lin Chang’an seemed to understand somewhat, shaking his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just that everyone’s pursuits are different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The common folk yearn for luxury, the luxurious yearn for power, and power yearns for immortality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Essentially, desires have no end; depending on one’s identity, desires naturally differ.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After becoming a cultivator, I thought that with hard cultivation, upon reaching Foundation Establishment I could be carefree and have a wide sky.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Yun Yao glanced outside at the night, reflecting on her current predicament while watching the busy cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But after going around, I realized it was merely flying from one gilded cage to another larger one...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The excitement upon proving the Dao and achieving Foundation Establishment, only to discover the laughable idea of supposed freedom upon unveiling the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The direct disciple of the Golden Core Elder was nothing but a furnace used to increase cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an remained silent, calmly listening to her confessions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone pursues different things; Yun Yao sought freedom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the more he listened, the more he felt something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt somewhat like she was leaving a final message, remembering Master Lu’s plan in Celestial Profound City for his disciple’s Core Formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Li Huo Palace naturally wouldn’t want to see it happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an seemed to have realized something, shaking his head inwardly, becoming more cautious at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looks like Li Huo Palace is planning a big move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Lin, sorry to have embarrassed you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, Yun Yao suddenly smiled, a rare smile appearing on her cold face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nah, it’s just that in life, who doesn’t want to act as they please?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an chuckled and shook his head; he too wished to become a Nascent Soul cultivator, unifying a few countries near Yue Kingdom and become a dominant ancestor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for now, he had to obediently cultivate discreetly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After downing a cup of wine, Yun Yao’s expression became calm, as she took out several objects from her storage bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin... big brother, I have to go. I hope there will be a day for us to meet again. These things are for Shen Lie and Qingqing... Don’t tell them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing these items, especially the incomplete jade scroll gifted to him, made Lin Chang’an dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Yun Yao calmly waved her hand: \"Just some things obtained when clearing out remnants of the Demon Cult, nothing worth mentioning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yun Yao’s attitude, Lin Chang’an sighed, taking out several Tier Two Talismans from his storage bag and handing them to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the moonlight, in the private room at Gathering Immortals Tower, only Lin Chang’an remained, along with the cup of wine untouched across from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... Even a direct disciple of a Golden Core Elder of Li Huo Palace needs to risk their life?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lin Chang’an was somewhat baffled looking at the jade scroll left by Yun Yao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Li Huo Palace wanted to stop Master Lu’s disciple from reaching Core Formation, this belonged to the domain of higher-level politics, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could Yun Yao, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, be involved in this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as he looked down at these items, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but fall silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erniu, Lu Qingqing, Shen Lie, even Wei Buyi had one, and even he received a portion of the incomplete Talisman Master’s legacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Tier Two Talisman Master’s legacy, although missing quite a bit, has retained most of its insights in the art of talismans, along with the Tier Two Ice Talisman’s legacy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reflecting on the jade scroll in his hand, coupled with Yun Yao’s deliberate distance over the years, made Lin Chang’an frown deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could understand now, but why such behavior before?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What secret does Yun Yao hold, that even a direct disciple of Li Huo Palace’s Golden Core Elder keeps such distance?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, Lin Chang’an shook his head with a light sigh. This damned world of cultivation—everyone has their own struggles and secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only wish his friend a long-lasting immortal journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, the Ice Talisman just happens to supplement my current lack of control techniques in talismans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tier Two Ice Talisman, upon release, can freeze opponents, restricting their movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, with the Ice Talisman, once the bustle in Celestial Profound City fades, I can secretly sell it without being noticed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an nodded inwardly, Yun Yao was truly his lucky star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each time she always managed to provide something different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As this Honored Guest Elder, on the surface he obtained the Vajra Talisman, Divine Speed Talisman, and Firebird Talisman from Celestial Profound City; secretly selling the Ice Talisman without being suspected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if the quantity of Tier Two Talismans is slightly high, at most it would arouse suspicion amongst Foundation Establishment cultivators, but such a small matter wouldn’t disturb a Golden Core Cultivator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, what Golden Core Cultivator would bother with such trivial matters?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially with Celestial Profound City’s Golden Core cultivators focused on Master Lu’s disciple’s Core Formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, this valuable Tier Two Talisman Master’s insights are the real treasure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an carefully stored the jade scroll away, these would rapidly enhance his proficiency in talisman crafting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, what he lacked were cultivation resources, to breakthrough to Tier Two Middle Grade Talisman Master quickly, even Celestial Profound City would pay attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, the higher the status, the different the circles one will engage with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one day he could become a Tier Three Talisman Master, Celestial Profound City would welcome him as a distinguished guest.\u003C\u002Fp>",1284,"2026-06-06T16:18:31.859Z",1,"novelbin.me","e12fac7c18810a418eadb22de6d9d8c760923bacd84f0fcc90099b8bd3b5df7c","eternal-life-from-talisman-painting-chapter-102","eternal-life-from-talisman-painting-chapter-450",514,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-from-talisman-painting-cover.jpg"]
