Yun Yao established Foundation before me and possesses a top-grade Spirit Root, practicing top-level demonic cultivation techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet she still needs to practice this technique with me to boost her cultivation, showing the increasing difficulty of cultivation as we progress.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dual cultivation secret technique benefits both parties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, since Lin Chang’an’s cultivation is lower, he might initially benefit more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lin Chang’an awaited Yun Yao’s arrival, a Sound Transmission Jade Talisman appeared outside the array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Chang’an reached out and caught the talisman, Yun Yao’s voice slowly emerged from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Coming tonight? This dual cultivation secret technique isn’t improper!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that Yun Yao could only come at night, Lin Chang’an was at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were practicing a legitimate dual cultivation secret technique, not some crooked or wicked path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since that’s the case, I’ll go and meet Old Hu first, he seems to have gotten some good stuff recently.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Lin Chang’an nodded, put the Cyan-Horned Bull back into the Spirit Beast Bag, and headed to the Market Trading Area within the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he left the training ground, he happened to encounter Chen Wen and Chen Feng, who were also leaving from Chen Qing’s training ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two brothers greeted him respectfully, but Lin Chang’an merely nodded slightly and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he sighed inwardly, realizing that Chen Qing had indeed given up cultivation, allowing his descendants to train at this Foundation Establishment venue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an held no prejudice against this; it was all too normal in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, most cultivators don’t have Lin Chang’an’s talent or lucky encounters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having achieved Foundation Establishment precariously, they exhausted their energy, with their cultivation paths often lacking hope—not uncommon to spend their days drinking, having fun, or supporting family, raising children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gathering Immortals Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, Mr. Lin, your seclusion this time was really long; Old Hu has missed you dearly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rugged-looking Old Hu embraced him with a big hug and then laughed heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accustomed to such enthusiasm, Lin Chang’an shook his head, smiling, yet teasingly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Hu, calling me out of seclusion just for a drink is not enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, Brother Lin, today’s feast is on me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Hu laughed aloud, as he had prepared a table full of premium spirit wines and spirit flesh, which brought a smile to Lin Chang’an’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed Old Hu indeed had good things to share.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Lin, take a look at this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impatient, Old Hu excitedly retrieved an item from his Storage Bag, instantly delighting Lin Chang’an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Tier Two Middle Stage Wood Attribute Demon Core.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a rare treasure indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, he felt secretly grateful; he hadn’t expected Old Hu to care so much about their casual remark from last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made him appreciate that this friendship was indeed worthwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Hu’s full name was Hu Jin, now approaching ninety, considered a seasoned Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His name wielded significant reputation among Demon Hunting Foundation Establishment Cultivators for his impressive strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rising solely through personal struggle, he was a quintessential figure who emerged among loose cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Old Hu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The friendship between men had no pretense, just two simple words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Hu, however, laughed heartily, tossing the Tier Two Spirit Core over and waving it aside:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you, this feast, Brother Lin, is definitely on you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, not just one meal; when Old Hu returns to the Gathering Immortals Tower, it’ll always be on me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need, Old Hu isn’t shameless enough for that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shared laughter around the drinking table, especially as one was a Talisman Master and the other a Demon Hunting Foundation Establishment cultivator with no conflict of interest, bonded them well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, perceptive Old Hu still noticed the faint Blood Evil Qi on Lin Chang’an but pretended ignorance and continued drinking and jesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an merely nodded with a smile, not mentioning the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both understood—there was no need for too much clarity between friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of concern, Old Hu, continuing his jest fueled by the drink, said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Lin, be cautious when entering and exiting Celestial Profound City; lately, many fellow cultivators have been ambushed, whether planning to establish Foundation or newly established, undeniably an inside job; how else could they target so precisely?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Old Hu’s reminder, Lin Chang’an nodded gravely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, I will take it to heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given that such an experienced friend raised this, it undoubtedly signified the seriousness, warranting Lin Chang’an’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>",806,"2026-06-06T16:18:31.859Z",1,"novelbin.me","1eeceedd604e29c04a3106175b4b0f4b576ab8b45f1efdaf02b7dca64aa81605","eternal-life-from-talisman-painting-chapter-158","eternal-life-from-talisman-painting-chapter-156",514,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-from-talisman-painting-cover.jpg"]
