Master Tan! (Part 3)","eternal-life-from-talisman-painting-chapter-447",447,"\u003Cp>Seeing this Master Tan speak so frankly, he laughed and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My disciple from the Lu Family is quite good, engaged in commerce for years. My sister now manages a few merchant ships under the Sixth Elder. I believe when the time comes, the Profound Sound Pavilion and Mr. Lin will lend a hand...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quite the character!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Master Tan’s demeanor, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but feel peculiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had seen those who rose by relying on their sisters and continuously drained them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was his first time seeing someone who, unwilling to be looked down upon, wanted to prove himself and strengthen his sister’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fairy Ni Chang beside him also showed a peculiar expression, indicating that this person had been planning for his sister all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This... seemed to pose no conflict with them, but rather, mutual benefit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing the two’s strange expressions, Master Tan remained calm and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the past, I was unattractive, and only my elder sister didn’t despise me, even helping me achieve Foundation Establishment. After she became the Sixth Elder’s concubine,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>everyone said it was to gather Core Formation resources for me. Now, everything I do is to tell them what my sister can do for me, I can do too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such deep sibling affection left Lin Chang’an in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Master Tan wanted his sister to hold her head high, not to be mocked for using family resources only to support her brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Tan, your sincerity is admirable,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At their level of cultivation, having such feelings is indeed rare and precious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an understood he was likely chosen for his clean background, unlikely to attract trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the beginning, Master Tan had trusted only the Lu Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, with Lu Yushu having formed a Fake Pill, he needed someone to shield him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, the three raised their cups and exchanged toasts, since it was indeed a win-win situation for all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Lin Chang’an was tempted; he had to guard the Outer Sea for Bihai Palace for a hundred years. Previously, when he went to Five Dragons Island, he was alone, without any backing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, he didn’t want to meddle in this turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now things were different. With support, going there seemed like joining the table, which wasn’t a bad thing at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Lin Chang’an’s eyes gleamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Long Family even had another piece of Profound Celestial Immortal Vine Withered Leaves. Having cultivated for so many years, one withered leaf had only partially rejuvenated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had to cultivate one from scratch, it would be even more demanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had the chance to obtain this withered leaf from the Long Family, he might be able to cultivate two external avatars, adding a layer of security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he needed to do didn’t seem difficult. On the surface, he would guard Five Dragons Island while collaborating with the Lu Family, helping them gradually form a guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, stabilizing the shipping routes behind Master Tan’s sister would also be beneficial for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All things considered, it seems very profitable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing this, Lin Chang’an smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Fairy Ni Chang, having already received permission from the Sixth Elder, found it worthwhile to connect another link with the Sixth Elder’s concubine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The banquet livens up for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the banquet, as Master Tan departed, Lu Yushu respectfully bowed and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Lin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Lu, you’re too polite. In the future, both of us will be responsible for guarding a side of Bihai Palace, ensuring peace in our area.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an nodded with a smile, clearly agreeing to Master Tan’s invitation at the banquet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it wasn’t as if he’d be sent into the vanguard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yushu let out a sigh of relief, knowing that following the Patriarch’s advice to recommend Mr. Lin was indeed wise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Collaborating with someone familiar is naturally better than an unfamiliar person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially like Lin Chang’an, an ascetic with no entangled interests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the two had more to discuss, Lu Yushu politely excused himself and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never expected Mr. Lin to have such talent in arrays; our Profound Sound Pavilion does have many array legacies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Left alone in the room with Lin Chang’an, Fairy Ni Chang once again expressed her intention to form an alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not that Lin Chang’an was particularly appealing, but fellow Loose Cultivators from the same hometown were rare and reputable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially someone newly in Core Formation, the ideal time to forge an alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside alliances seeking to recruit might not lack Core Formation cultivators, but the fear was that those involved would have ulterior motives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There have been incidents of outside Core Formation Elders taking over and occupying nests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with Fairy Ni Chang’s offer, Lin Chang’an was somewhat hesitant. He accepted Master Tan’s terms because the entanglement wasn’t deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, it had benefits for him, but the Profound Sound Pavilion could potentially clash with the Long Family over Spirit Lands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fairy Ni Chang, I’m accustomed to ascetic cultivation, and generally not good at contesting with others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an’s unwillingness to get involved in their power struggles made Fairy Ni Chang feel more at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Lin, you’re joking. Our Profound Sound Pavilion also prefers not to contend with others, just wishing to provide a stable cultivation place for our disciples. Besides, you hail from the Yue Kingdom, you should understand our Profound Sound Pavilion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a broad smile, Fairy Ni Chang found herself increasingly satisfied with Lin Chang’an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good-natured, knowing when to advance and retreat, wanting just a peaceful place to cultivate, and being from the same Yue Kingdom as her—it greatly increased her fondness in this foreign land.\u003C\u002Fp>",946,"2026-06-06T16:18:31.860Z",1,"novelbin.me","7e166654d34ac277baf52b6bd410b07da20c175e8c65489bd653435b4d895f49","eternal-life-from-talisman-painting-chapter-448","eternal-life-from-talisman-painting-chapter-446",514,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-from-talisman-painting-cover.jpg"]
