assistance in many matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is why, after falling behind, gaps gradually form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This disparity arises because, under the gap of a Great Realm, the daily needs for cultivation and even discussions aren’t in the same circle, naturally manifesting this huge difference over time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Old Hu does not have many Spirit Stones reserved, after all, he’s just recently formed his Core, and despite being in Bihai Palace, he’s only forged a Lifebound Treasure, still owning quite a bit in Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bustling event of the Five Dragon Island Market was in full swing, with the auction drawing an impressive number of cultivators that night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even many cultivators from the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea hid their appearances and concealed their auras to attend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Lin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Hu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Lin Chang’an and Hu Jin arriving with laughter, many Core Formation and Fake Pill Cultivators greeted with smiles and cupped their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quite a few people secretly envied the extraordinary relationship between this Array Master Lin and Mr. Hu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon careful thought, their deep friendship has been continuous since the Foundation Establishment stage, journeying together to the Core Formation Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such friendships, developed through the cultivation journey, are extremely precious in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing everyone’s greetings, Lin Chang’an nodded with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Hu Jin’s arrival, Lin Chang’an noticed that many people showed him greater respect, like Xu Lingfeng from Profound Sound Pavilion, a rather proud Core Formation Cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, when they meet, Xu Lingfeng displays a courteous smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come, come, please, fellow Daoist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Lin Chang’an nodding and smiling at the fellow Core Formation Cultivators, everyone entered the auction hall together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time attending the auction, Lin Chang’an, now a Core Formation Cultivator, naturally did not have to squeeze with those below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he was seated in a private box at the auction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Various forces were gathered, and below there were still cultivators concealing their cultivation, as some wished to remain unseen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were eyeing specific treasures and needed to hide their identities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the upper private boxes, due to identity reasons, major forces’ Core Formation Cultivators could not easily conceal themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Profound Sound Pavilion’s attendees included Core Formation Cultivators Liu Ruyu, Xu Lingfeng, and Lin Chang’an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the auction began, the atmosphere on-site became lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the private boxes reserved for Core Formation Cultivators, individuals calmly awaited the final premium treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the private box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about it, Old Lin, any feelings sitting inside this private box?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Hu Jin, with a face full of smiles, sipped Spirit Tea while teasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lin Chang’an had a rather solemn expression in response to Hu Jin’s teasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This lofty feeling, with figures below seemingly reminiscent of his former self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A feeling of exuberance, yet a bit of melancholy, as if seeing myself once among the masses below.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Lin Chang’an’s melancholy, Hu Jin nodded and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, when I broke through to Core Formation, the change in identity brought about this complicated emotion, clearly exhilarating yet nostalgic for my former self.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two teased each other, the auction below grew even hotter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, treasures that once drew his attention now felt somewhat dull, making Lin Chang’an reflect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is because he had grown stronger, and the circles have changed; once invaluable treasures have now become dispensable, even beneath notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, humans are the most changeable beings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the auction progressed, Tier Three Treasure finally appeared, including true Tier Three items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next is a true Magical Treasure, though somewhat damaged, but undoubtedly a very precious treasure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder who shouted excitedly at the auction drew significant attention from many Fake Pill and even newly entered Core Formation Cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magical Treasures are precious, despite being damaged; if possible, they can be gradually repaired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tier Three Lower Grade Magical Treasure, indeed this auction is making quite a stir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing the treasure appear below, even Lin Chang’an showed a rare touch of excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his assets seem good, for now, he actually only has one offensive Magical Treasure, lacking in both offense and defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, his foremost focus was to first enhance his Spirit Root and Golden Core quality, accelerating cultivation speed was most important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thirty-three thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones, anyone else interested?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thirty-three thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones, once...twice...sold!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the transaction of the Magical Treasure, many Core Formation Cultivators present showed interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next were various Tier Three Spiritual Objects, all treasures capable of attracting Core Formation Cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next is a legacy of a Tier Three God-determining Talisman, including this Tier Three Talisman Master’s insights, starting at ten thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the shout of the auction host, the scene was quite subdued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One reason is that there are very few cultivators with Tier Three skills, and another is God-determining Talisman is quite niche, with limited practical use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the quiet around the treasure, the elderly host was not embarrassed; rather, he enthusiastically continued the introduction, as many treasures weren’t lacking in value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather it was due to being niche; failing to sell wasn’t unheard of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ten thousand five hundred Middle Grade Spirit Stones!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eleven thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, with little enthusiasm in the room, someone finally started bidding but was directly outbid by Hu Jin at eleven thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Core Formation Cultivators present naturally paid attention to who was bidding, knowing full well who occupied the private box above.\u003C\u002Fp>",918,"2026-06-06T16:18:31.860Z",1,"novelbin.me","80871638740d1d3750ba4044aa26c755cf5b1fca440ef638ad5bd6e3bc400710","eternal-life-from-talisman-painting-chapter-485","eternal-life-from-talisman-painting-chapter-483",514,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-from-talisman-painting-cover.jpg"]
