some shops and resources of the Profound Sound Pavilion, and their original forces began to withdraw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From now on, the first Loose Cultivator, Master Lu of the Black Turtle Sect, became the true master of this Celestial Profound Immortal City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Lin, are these people out of their minds, daring to make trouble, only to end up as someone else’s bounty before they could even escape Celestial Profound City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Qing looked enviously at some cultivators in the distance, who luckily encountered tribulation cultivators causing chaos, with a predictable outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Lin, I actually managed to get a reward of a hundred acres of spirit field.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it was Chen Qing’s turn to see his rewards, he couldn’t help but burst with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Chang’an, watching this scene unfold, cast a subtle glance at the other excited figures behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These policies of Celestial Profound City must be designed to retain these Loose Cultivators.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Foundation Establishment cultivators, burdened by family, were given spirit fields as rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They say they’ve been given spirit fields, yet they still need to pay part of the yield annually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for the Loose Cultivators who usually have no foundation, this was tantamount to giving them a place to settle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, it’s Mr. Lin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it came to Lin Chang’an’s turn, the reception was hosted by the old man of the Feng surname from the previous auction, who was noticeably surprised to see him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then respectfully took out a jade token, and transmitted a message:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Lin, this was specifically instructed by the lady, she said if you came, to give you this jade token, from now on, all high-level resources of the Treasures Tower in Celestial Profound City are open to you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, the Fengle Auction will not charge you any fees.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the old man of the Feng surname, a hint of surprise flashed in Lin Chang’an’s eyes, feeling secretly shocked in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems that Su Miao Yin really saw through his disguise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, upon further thought, when he sold the array disc, he considered it might expose his identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, his actions fully aligned with those of a stable Ascetic, who wishes to avoid exposing his identity and causing trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Celestial Profound City, he was an ally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Many thanks to Mr. Feng and also to Fairy Su.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an accepted the jade token with a smile, cupping his hands, though the latter part was whispered telepathically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their secret conversation was unbeknownst to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Lin, as the area you oversee is stable, would you like to exchange for cultivation resources or spirit fields?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at what could be exchanged, Lin Chang’an did not hesitate, smilingly cupped his hands, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exchange it for spirit fields, I can hire some cultivators to cultivate them later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exchanging for cultivation resources might be appealing to ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his identity as a Tier Two Talisman Master made these insignificant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, a hundred acres of spirit fields provide a long-term stream of resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man of the Feng surname nodded with a smile, clearly, Celestial Profound City favored this kind of exchange for spirit fields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone wanting spirit fields, whether settling with family or wishing for stable cultivation life as an Ascetic, is welcome here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such people are likable no matter where they go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Lin also exchanged for a hundred acres of spirit fields, truly delightful and congratulatory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lin Chang’an exchange for the spirit fields, Chen Qing’s expression was a bit moved but quickly realized their relationship was not that close and smiled, stepping forward to offer congratulations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an was undoubtedly aware of Chen Qing’s interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Chen Qing was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he had many family members under him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of his family members with poor aptitude could be tenants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Chang’an did not follow suit; instead, he smiled and cupped his hands: \"Congratulations to you too, Celestial Profound City is finally stabilizing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Qing nodded with a smile. Though Lin Chang’an had no family burden, he was not without some close friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this minor matter, he would not incur dislike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to that, befriending a Tier Two Talisman Master is more valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Celestial Profound City was bustling, especially with Sect forces withdrawing, leaving behind significant unused resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention Loose Cultivators, even small families from neighboring countries were tempted by this scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most Foundation Establishment cultivators exchanged for spirit fields and prepared to bring their families over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Loose Cultivators like Lin Chang’an, who roam alone without ties, were rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Yue Kingdom was chaotic, spirit fields provided a foundation, especially with Celestial Profound City’s new establishment in need of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Providing help in dire situations surpasses mere icing on the cake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now with such a gap within Celestial Profound City, it’s better than being exploited under those Major Sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spirit field resource lands previously held by Li Huo Palace and Profound Sound Pavilion are now the most attractive spots in Celestial Profound City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many Loose Cultivators even considered, regardless of wandering everywhere, that staying here would be better than residing under big clan rule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With such measures in place, Celestial Profound City might indeed become the fourth great force in the Yue Kingdom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking along and observing the new vitality of Celestial Profound City, Lin Chang’an nodded silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though everyone understood that Master Lu was strengthening his forces, the allure of inclusion was hard to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sect forces were significant, yet Loose Cultivators like them could only be outsiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Celestial Profound City, they were insiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew the choice to make.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, there were no choices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Inviting Loose Cultivators from across the land, surely Loose Cultivators from Yue Kingdom and even neighboring countries will flock here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a former Loose Cultivator himself, Lin Chang’an understood well the allure Celestial Profound City offered to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Lu is not simple at all, no wonder he still thrives after hundreds of years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Lin Chang’an felt envious; reaching this point from a mere Loose Cultivator wasn’t achieved by luck alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mindset and methods were indispensable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the changing landscape of Yue Kingdom should allow some time for stability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an calculated quietly, though Divine Sword Sect and Li Huo Palace were influential, Celestial Profound City and Profound Sound Pavilion were no pushovers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"While conflicts and secret struggles won’t cease, the major forces will observe for a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or, they might wait for Master Lu to decline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, at over five hundred years, time favored Divine Sword Sect and Li Huo Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hopefully, I’ll have ample time for cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lifespan: 58\u002F210]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skills: Tier Two Lower Grade Talisman Master (Proficient 89\u002F500), Tier One Upper Grade Pill Master (Grandmaster 1962\u002F5000)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the progress in his talisman and alchemy skills, Lin Chang’an felt a rare ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need to resume practicing alchemy skills, aiming for early breakthrough to Tier Two, which will aid cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an was clear about his future plans. With poor spirit root aptitude, medicinal aid was necessary to keep pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, his self-healing body was better suited for a body technique, but he lacked time and resources for it now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t afford to slack in even one moment of cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help looking in the direction of Profound Sound Peak, eyes filled with envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Celestial Spirit Root, an aptitude that scarcely appears in the Yue Kingdom once in several hundred years, is truly enviable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Celestial Spirit Root, there were no bottlenecks in cultivation up to the Core Formation Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While countless cultivators in the Yue Kingdom remained stuck at Qi Refining Third Layer, forever unable to breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lin Chang’an was about to return to his long-unvisited cave residence, a familiar voice suddenly called from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin... Big Brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an was startled, turning his head to find a pale-faced female cultivator looking at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she was of unremarkable appearance, the familiar voice and mana aura told him otherwise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yun Yao! Why didn’t you leave!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clearly Yun Yao, but as a disciple of Li Huo Palace, her lingering presence here shocked Lin Chang’an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Yun Yao’s face was ashen, clutching her chest with a trace of pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1392,"2026-06-06T16:18:31.859Z",1,"novelbin.me","943f32e3860467026adeddddf5810c2eecf94937278b731d20299627784717a8","eternal-life-from-talisman-painting-chapter-109","eternal-life-from-talisman-painting-chapter-107",514,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-from-talisman-painting-cover.jpg"]
