He realized he was truly destined for a life of hard work, never getting a moment’s rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought that after becoming a Core Formation cultivator, he would be free to roam anywhere he pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet after forming his Core, he discovered he was just a slightly stronger cultivator, barely able to join the table in some remote parts of the Sea Abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s about time to return. Sea Abyss City may be great, but it will never be my foundation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the bustling Sea Abyss City, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but shake his head silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wondered how Old Hu was doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Life Span: 140\u002F\u002F586]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Realm: Core Golden Early Stage (0\u002F100)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That year, he formed a True Pill in Sea Abyss City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Lin, take a look at this century-long Spirit Contract.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On that day, in the Steward Hall of Bihai Palace, Master Tan himself came forward, witnessed by another Golden Core Steward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lin Chang’an reviewed it, he signed the Spirit Contract with a solemn expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, Mr. Lin, our Bihai Palace’s Spirit Contract is quite relaxed. You just need to fulfill your duties of guarding the sea region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if there are natural or man-made disasters you can’t handle, as long as it’s reported in time, we usually won’t pursue it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Core Steward, pocketing the Tier Three Spirit Contract, said with a broad smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spirit Contract doesn’t care if it’s signed with an alias or others; it’s a bind through mana imprint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, for a Tier Three Spirit Contract, once you break through to Nascent Soul, you can naturally break free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in a mere hundred years, no one has chosen to go against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for Mr. Lin’s wish to join other forces or do other things, our Bihai Palace doesn’t restrict it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the other’s relaxed smile, Lin Chang’an nodded silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the other said, the constraints of this Spirit Contract are minimal, high in freedom, otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to Sea Abyss City to form his Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Taoist friend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the matter, the other person looked at the two with a smile and then stood up and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well then, what follows is your own affair, I won’t disturb you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the other person stood up, Lin Chang’an and Master Tan also stood and cupped their hands in farewell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after walking out of the hall, Master Tan smiled slowly and pulled out an Identity Jade Token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Taoist, this Identity Jade Token represents the power of the sixth elder of Bihai Palace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This jade token, white as jade, had the character ’Sea’ on the front and ’Land’ on the back, clearly representing the sixth elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lin Chang’an received this Identity Jade Token, it meant he now bore the mark of the sixth elder’s influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Master Tan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an dared not underestimate this small Identity Jade Token; with it under the governance of Bihai Palace, at least the merchant ships in the foreground wouldn’t be easily blocked by anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he stood for nothing less than a Nascent Soul Cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, Mr. Lin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the hall, Lu Yushu watched Lin Chang’an walk out, his eyes showing a tinge of envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, a century-long Spirit Contract is a kind of honor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not everyone who wants to sign can do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, though he also formed Core in Sea Abyss City, as a Fake Pill Cultivator, he didn’t even qualify to enter a century-long Spirit Contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only wait outside the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then, when the Lu Family establishes a merchant guild, Mr. Lin, please handle some troublesome matters occasionally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From start to finish, Master Tan never fully trusted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, this assured Lin Chang’an somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, Mr. Tan, I will do my utmost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lin Chang’an’s solemn demeanor, Master Tan couldn’t help but laugh and wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Lin, you jest, really, you just need to cooperate with the Profound Sound Pavilion, and some things are quite easy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an just smiled without speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the Profound Sound Pavilion always required suitable conditions, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the third day, when Lin Chang’an and the Lu family were returning, they boarded a merchant ship of the Profound Sound Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not until the silhouette of Sea Abyss City disappeared from view did Lin Chang’an sigh softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he still left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Hall of the Sixth Elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dignified and solemn hall, previously high and mighty in front of outsiders, Master Tan now followed respectfully behind his elder sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sixth Elder, this is the layout for the merchant guild and Five Dragons Island Sea Region this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sixth Elder, sitting at the top, his face blurred and indistinct, saw the detailed layout on the Jade Scroll as he raised his hand, and couldn’t help but smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two siblings are indeed not bad; not mentioning talent for now, at least you two didn’t consider even a bit of benefit for the Tan family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with the Sixth Elder’s jest, the short Master Tan let out a secret sigh of relief, thankful he recognized the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord, I wouldn’t dare.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, you two siblings, just a little timid is all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the two, the Sixth Elder raised a hand listlessly; at such a level of cultivation and status as his, let alone finding a kindred spirit,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was tough enough to find someone to talk to peacefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That girl from the Profound Sound Pavilion, not bad talent, alas, her mind is all on the Sect. I wonder if she’ll come to her senses in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after seeing Lin Chang’an’s information, the Sixth Elder, rare for him, murmured in surprise, then shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A loose cultivator becoming a Tier Three Array Master, shows his talent in arrays, pity his overall talent is lacking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To finally see a cultivator with decent talent in arrays, the Sixth Elder was somewhat moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw him as an idle chess piece. If he could grow to a Tier Three Upper Grade Array Master, perhaps he might have some value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Chang’an, loose cultivator in Cyan Bamboo Mountain Market of Yue Kingdom...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1045,"2026-06-06T16:18:31.860Z",1,"novelbin.me","9c2cf1e19673b0a681dafafa01b10bf61d8db439d472bc9b545d2f08f6d1b7a5","eternal-life-from-talisman-painting-chapter-450","eternal-life-from-talisman-painting-chapter-448",514,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-from-talisman-painting-cover.jpg"]
