A Golden Core cultivator enjoys not only a lifespan of five hundred years but also possesses divine techniques reaching the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every action or word can influence the dynamics of a kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s tough to be a loose cultivator, but those who’ve reached this level are formidable figures that command respect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s undeniable that loose cultivators who’ve made a name for themselves typically surpass sect or family disciples by a significant margin in both battle experience and techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A late-stage Tier Three Profound Water Turtle as a spirit pet can significantly enhance a cultivator’s combat capacity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This number one loose cultivator in the Yue Kingdom, Master Lu, owes a large portion of his reputation to the Profound Water Turtle, which made Lin Chang’an somewhat eager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he hadn’t chosen to cultivate a Profound Water Turtle back then, he had a Cyan-Horned Bull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Cyan-Horned Bull has been cultivated well over the years, just a step away from breaking through to Tier Two; having a Tier Two spirit beast to protect oneself greatly heightens personal safety.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an nodded with satisfaction, knowing that demon beasts typically exceed cultivators by a margin of three in the same-tier battles, and if the Cyan-Horned Bull could progress smoothly, it would be a significant advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Tier Two spirit beast is a luxury not afforded to even ordinary sect disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"While the auction is six months away, a Tier Two Beast Spirit Pill isn’t as precious as a Foundation Establishment Pill. My path is long, there’s no need for the Cyan-Horned Bull to use this inferior Beast Spirit Pill for its breakthrough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Lin Chang’an headed towards the Zhou Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many were aware of him raising a Cyan-Horned Bull, there was no need to hide this, especially as the bull was at a critical point of breaking through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no reason to go afar to buy when forming connections with the Beast Taming Zhou Family would benefit him as a loose cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mutually beneficial arrangement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Lin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On arriving at the main hall of the Zhou Family, Zhou Bingyun put away her playful demeanor, instead, graciously serving him tea and water herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, the patriarch of the Zhou Family, Zhou Renmao, smiled broadly, nodding to him as he lifted his teacup, signaling:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Lin, this is freshly picked spirit tea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am indeed enjoying Mr. Zhou’s hospitality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an smiled and nodded. Since last trading a Foundation Establishment Pill with the Zhou Family, their relationship had been amicable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was just a loose cultivator, and the Zhou Family was eager to align with him, a Tier Two Talisman Master, with no conflicting interests, they were naturally friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While savoring superior spirit tea, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but think only those who’ve become Foundation Establishment cultivators can truly appreciate the joy that status brings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Zhou, to be honest, I’m here today to buy a Beast Spirit Pill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After setting down the teacup, Lin Chang’an smilingly stated his purpose. After all, the Beast Taming Zhou Family occasionally used these to trade for resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Zhou Renmao showed an expression full of remorse and, with a clasped fist, said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is an oversight of my Zhou Family, allowing this transaction to leak, putting Mr. Lin in such a predicament.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Lin Chang’an hadn’t mentioned the previous trade, Zhou Renmao was acutely aware of their responsibility as a patriarch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the leaked information, Lin Chang’an’s Beast Spirit Pill wouldn’t have been forcefully traded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lin Chang’an thought to himself that indeed there was a problem within the Zhou Family, otherwise how would Huang Shaohai have known?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the Zhou Family suffered even more last time with the loss of exotic beasts; if they still didn’t self-check, the Beast Taming Zhou Family wouldn’t have come this far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Patriarch Zhou, you are too kind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, this mistake lies with my Zhou Family. Recently, the clan refined a top-grade Beast Spirit Pill, which we will use to make amends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Needless to say, with the chaotic state of affairs, both sides had intentions to strengthen bonds, making this business discussion even smoother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Lin Chang’an exchanged a low-quality Beast Spirit Pill and some Tier Two talismans for this top-grade Beast Spirit Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Zhou Renmao was all smiles, as the deal was quite favorable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an was not just a Foundation Establishment cultivator and a Tier Two Talisman Master; he also shared a close friendship with the Ice Fairy Yun Yao from the Li Huo Palace and was an honored guest elder of Celestial Profound City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was someone worthy of the Zhou Family’s association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More important, Lin Chang’an was well-known, as could be seen from Cyan Bamboo Mountain Market and his relationship with Erniu, known for his gratitude and not as someone who abandons principles for profit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he still remembered his old friends from the Qi Refining period, a testament to his character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the Zhou Family, Lin Chang’an headed to the market trading area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Upper grade Tier One Healing Elixir, fair trade for all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Freshly butchered late-stage Tier One demon beast meat...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bustling market filled Lin Chang’an with sentiment. Items once rare in the small Cyan Bamboo Mountain Market were common in Celestial Profound City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Zhou Family is indeed a longstanding powerful clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking on the street, Lin Chang’an nodded secretly, allying with the Zhou Family aligned with his interests. Selling Tier Two talismans doesn’t matter much who they go to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a top-grade Beast Spirit Pill in hand, he just needed to find one or two auxiliary spiritual materials to prepare for the Cyan-Horned Bull’s breakthrough after returning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Based on Bingyun’s advice, different spirit beast species and attributes require specific auxiliary spiritual materials before a breakthrough. Previously, I also acquired two spirit grasses from the Zhou Family, but it’s better to be safe and find another one or two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an planned silently, recognizing the increasing chaos around. His cultivation wouldn’t progress much for a while, so boosting strength also depended on external items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such external items included spirit pets and magical artifacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Top grade magical artifacts, containing numerous materials of magic treasure level, otherwise known as spiritual artifacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each spiritual artifact is valued over 500 middle-grade spirit stones, with flying needle class spiritual artifacts, the most difficult to refine, fetching nearly a thousand middle-grade spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was considering buying a flying needle class spiritual artifact; however, he didn’t have enough middle-grade spirit stones in his storage bag for such a purchase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s still six months until the auction, so, in the meantime, I need to save enough spirit stones for a spiritual artifact, but the urgent priority right now is the Cyan-Horned Bull’s breakthrough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for a while, Lin Chang’an planned how to enhance his strength wisely to face potential crises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this account, he couldn’t help but thank Huang Shaohai for prompting him to start preparing six months in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is something he always kept in mind.\u003C\u002Fp>",1370,"2026-06-06T16:18:31.859Z",1,"novelbin.me","aa6758a58fe90e97b309abd1b63075daa23b54e00bfbb794d0f901337ce679e4","eternal-life-from-talisman-painting-chapter-86","eternal-life-from-talisman-painting-chapter-84",514,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-from-talisman-painting-cover.jpg"]
