The disciples continued their routines as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Fairy of Rainbow Skirt, now the Pavilion Master of Xuanyin Pavilion, brought Lin Chang’an into a certain Earthfire Chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This place connects to the Earthfire. Many of our Pavilion’s disciples rely on it to refine pills. And this Earthfire Chamber at the deepest point is surrounded by formation barriers…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Fairy of Rainbow Skirt gave her introduction, Lin Chang’an stepped into the scorching Earthfire Chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center stood a third-rank alchemy furnace, secured by eight iron chains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This third-rank alchemy furnace was integrated with the formation barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the jade token for entering the Earthfire Chamber.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Many thanks, fellow Daoist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving behind a jade token, Fairy of Rainbow Skirt offered a word of blessing before turning and departing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After surveying his surroundings, Lin Chang’an arranged his Blood Fiend Scarlet Sun Formation before feeling at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although this place has restriction formations, one must always guard against others.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, perhaps sensing the intense heat, the Wind-Chirp Bird in the Spirit Beast Pouch stirred restlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lin Chang’an released the Wind-Chirp Bird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment it emerged, the Wind-Chirp Bird circled excitedly—this place, rich in fire-attribute energy, was its favorite kind of environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, you keep watch. I’m going to refine the Crystal Condensing Pill now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Master,” chirped the Wind-Chirp Bird crisply, flapping its wings while greedily absorbing the Earthfire spiritual energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the formation and a third-rank spirit pet like the Wind-Chirp Bird keeping watch, Lin Chang’an finally relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he took out the materials needed to refine the Crystal Condensing Pill from his storage pouch, one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Third-rank Low-grade Alchemist (Proficient 3\u002F500)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Revisiting Alchemist Jiang’s pill refinement insights, Lin Chang’an nodded to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Time to begin refining!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding his breath and concentrating, Lin Chang’an took a deep breath. First, he circulated his mana to familiarize himself with the alchemy furnace, then followed the pill formula and used his skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tossed in one spirit herb, one spirit fruit at a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Refining a third-rank pill tested the alchemist’s willpower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One had to remain fully focused for over a month—any slight lapse could result in irreparable failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Chang’an, possessing exceptional talent, used the force of the Earthfire to slowly melt the third-rank ingredients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed. A month later—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Earthfire Chamber, the Wind-Chirp Bird lounged contentedly, occasionally gulping down spurts of Earthfire that surged up from below, its eyes squinting in sheer enjoyment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was far better than being in the Sinister Spirit Lands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though sinister spirits were its prey, it naturally disliked staying in Yin Veins every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, even though Lin Chang’an’s mana enabled its continued cultivation, the best training ground remained one saturated with fire spiritual energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lin Chang’an stood calmly in front of the alchemy furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pill complete!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a soft utterance, the furnace lid popped open, and two pill pellets shimmering with spiritual radiance slowly floated up amidst the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These are the Crystal Condensing Pills! And two premium ones at that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the two red pills in the air gradually cool and crystallize, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but look thrilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had planned for Core Formation for so long—with these two premium-grade Crystal Condensing Pills, his success rate had increased by over thirty percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carefully storing them in a jade bottle, he placed the item into a storage pouch guarded against detection, worn close to his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At last, it’s done.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an exhaled deeply in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything had gone smoothly, without the ups and downs others often faced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the Earthfire Chamber, Fairy of Rainbow Skirt waited, and finally, Lin Chang’an emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fellow Daoist He…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had intended to say more, but the He-surnamed False Core Cultivator disguised by Lin Chang’an appeared crestfallen, as if he had failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Many thanks, Fairy of Rainbow Skirt. Here are the spirit stones for the rental and the jade token.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re too courteous, Fellow Daoist He.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fairy of Rainbow Skirt smiled faintly, retrieving both the jade token and spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Xuanyin Pavilion was no charity—renting a cave abode required payment in spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lin Chang’an took this opportunity to probe whether Fairy of Rainbow Skirt had any connections to a spirit vessel heading to Sea Abyss City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard your Pavilion conducts excellent business. Would Fellow Daoist happen to have any leads on such spirit vessels?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fairy of Rainbow Skirt sighed lightly and replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fellow Daoist He, the seas around Five Dragon Island have grown increasingly chaotic in recent years. Several incidents have already occurred. These days, the merchant ships of our factions…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words, though vague, amounted to a refusal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, many major forces wouldn’t even let newly recruited guest elders or visiting cultivators get involved with their merchant ships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were truly troubled times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Lin Chang’an had anticipated this, he still sighed helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was now impossible to ride on a major faction’s merchant ship. He would have to seek out a specialized spirit vessel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Lin Chang’an bade farewell to Fairy of Rainbow Skirt—after all, his False Core Cultivator identity was not genuine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least this time, no one had taken notice of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also made Lin Chang’an ponder. It seemed the Long Clan truly had no energy to spare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several days later, after gathering information, Lin Chang’an prepared to leave Five Dragon Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who would’ve thought spirit vessel fares would be this expensive now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past few days, he had used his true identity to ask around all over Five Dragon Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the seas around Five Dragon Island in turmoil, there were too many rogue cultivators like him looking for a safe place to cultivate—prices had already skyrocketed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tickets were nearly impossible to obtain, which made Lin Chang’an frown. It seemed he would need to explore some local clan channels—like the Lu Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But before leaving, I must deal with the third-rank Emerald Alligator Turtle materials!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as that material remained in his storage pouch, he couldn’t feel at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unknowingly, Lin Chang’an had already reached the edge of the marketplace. He patted his storage pouch, and a gourd-shaped flying artifact descended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flew straight outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several months later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Fog Sea of Tongtian, traces of a suspected third-rank demon beast—Emerald Alligator Turtle—were discovered near several islands, including some bloodstains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In no time, many cultivators’ eyes lit up—an injured third-rank demon beast was enough to tempt even True Core Cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Numerous cultivators formed demon-hunting squads, secretly investigating the whereabouts of this wounded third-rank Emerald Alligator Turtle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azure Wave Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you heard? A third-rank Emerald Alligator Turtle was spotted recently. Many False Core Cultivators have teamed up to form demon-hunting squads.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Judging from the traces left behind, the Emerald Alligator Turtle was severely injured.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the crowd, Lin Chang’an’s lips curled into a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, this was all his doing. With a third-rank turtle shell in hand, it was all too easy to leave a few convincing traces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To ensure the plan was flawless, he had even thrown the remaining blood and flesh of the Emerald Alligator Turtle into the sea, luring wild beasts into a feeding frenzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This created the illusion that the third-rank beast was gravely wounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next up is selling off this third-rank turtle shell.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With narrowed eyes and wearing a bamboo hat, Lin Chang’an made his way straight to his destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This matter had passed for twenty years, and the Long Clan was now a public target—this was the perfect time to make his move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, the Sea Abyss of Beasts teemed with demon beasts. How many were killed each year?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t like Emerald Alligator Turtle materials hadn’t surfaced before—he had just feared a trap, so he’d always kept them hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he had released the news himself, as long as he acted before anyone caught on, there would be no danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the experience of these demon-hunting squads, it would only take a short while of tracking to realize it was fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, what he relied on was an information gap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he stepped into the shop, the cultivator disguised as Lin Chang’an emanated a terrifying Blood Fiend aura—especially with the presence of a False Core Cultivator’s pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many Foundation Establishment cultivators respectfully moved aside to both sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yo, this Fellow Daoist looks unfamiliar.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the False Core Cultivator entered the shop, Fatty Lei walked out to greet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing it was a stranger, he still stepped forward with a smile and invited this fellow cultivator into the back room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once inside, Lin Chang’an wasted no words and rasped directly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard Fellow Daoist Lei takes in all kinds of treasures. I came uninvited.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Say no more—if you’ve brought something valuable, the price won’t be an issue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a casual tap of his storage pouch, Lin Chang’an revealed a massive turtle shell in the spacious room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Fatty Lei’s eyes widened even more. “This is a third-rank Emerald Alligator Turtle!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t question the death of the Long Clan genius from twenty years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it had been too long, and hunting demon beasts in the Sea Abyss was common.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling the recent rumors about the Emerald Alligator Turtle, Fatty Lei couldn’t help exclaiming:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t expect Fellow Daoist to be the one who killed it—truly impressive! Bring out the demon core and other materials too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Fatty Lei’s expectant gaze, Lin Chang’an only produced two sharp claws—one for the front and one for the rear. Nothing else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fellow Daoist?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Fatty Lei pretending not to understand, Lin Chang’an rasped:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I hunted it together with two other Fellow Daoists—this was my share.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fatty Lei showed sudden comprehension, but a glint of cunning flickered through his beady eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fellow Daoist, you know things have been turbulent lately. According to the rules, I can only offer…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Fatty Lei raised his fingers to indicate seventy percent of the value, Lin Chang’an, without hesitation, began putting the demon beast materials away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait a moment, Fellow Daoist! We can negotiate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fellow Daoist Lei, third-rank beast materials—especially this turtle shell—are ideal for refining magic treasures. I could fetch a good price at Five Dragon Island.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to rush!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exchange only, no selling! If you have high-grade spirit liquid, then we can trade.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some tug-of-war, Fatty Lei reluctantly handed over more than ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones, along with a significant quantity of high-grade spirit liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an hadn’t expected such a fortunate gain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This spirit liquid was a primary source for watering and cultivating his life-bound spirit plant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t forgotten his own great opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, carrying too many spirit stones could attract certain spirit beasts by scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the real reason for trading spirit items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the transaction was complete, Lin Chang’an left the shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fatty Lei, on the other hand, squinted at the materials he had just obtained, already thinking ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Many cultivators are currently searching for traces of the third-rank Emerald Alligator Turtle. This bit of information could fetch another haul of spirit stones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, the fat on Fatty Lei’s face jiggled with a broad grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little did he know, those demon beast materials were a hot potato.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Lin Chang’an’s payback for Fatty Lei’s previous collusion with another cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And besides, it was a black market—misjudging was your own bad luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That third-rank turtle shell was worth that price anywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuling Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha! Fellow Daoist Lin, it’s been many years. Your visit today is a true honor!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Lin Chang’an had come to visit the local power—the Lu Clan. The connections he had built over the years weren’t meant to go unused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fellow Daoist Lu is too kind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a full smile, Lu Yujian invited him into the clan residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For rogue cultivators like Lin Chang’an, it was no surprise to see them emerge from hiding due to the recent unrest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only those with vast family responsibilities, like the Lu Clan, couldn’t easily withdraw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Greetings, Lu Clan Patriarch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Lu also smiled and cupped her hands in greeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With decades of friendship, they also believed Lin Chang’an to be a hardworking solitary cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, given Lin Chang’an’s sudden visit, they vaguely guessed the reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a Foundation Establishment cultivator visited, the Lu Clan naturally wouldn’t be disrespectful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit wine and spirit meat were set out. Though Lin Chang’an was warmly welcomed, knowing he was here to ask for help, he raised his cup in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had chosen the Lu Clan because, firstly, they were the local power—their network far surpassed his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, Lu Yushu had become a disciple under a Core Formation Elder of Bihai Palace, and his words now carried weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three rounds of wine passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an put down his cup and openly stated his purpose:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu Clan Patriarch, the seas have grown increasingly dangerous. I came today hoping Madam Lu could help me acquire a spirit vessel ticket to Sea Abyss City.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Chang’an spoke, Madam Lu showed a knowing expression—she had guessed as much earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fellow Daoist need not laugh at me. As a mere rogue cultivator, it hasn’t been easy reaching this stage. I’d regret not taking a shot at Core Formation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Presenting himself as someone seeking Core Formation opportunities in Sea Abyss City, the two didn’t doubt him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, reaching late Foundation Establishment as a rogue cultivator was already difficult. Core Formation was even harder!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sea Abyss City, is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Lu paused, then explained, “The Five Dragon Island seas are remote and far from there. Only large factions operate merchant ships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With recent unrest, even Core Formation Cultivator robbers have appeared. I heard the Duanmu Clan’s False Core Cultivator was recently ambushed and killed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite hearing about the dangers, Lin Chang’an simply nodded calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s exactly why I came to visit the Lu Clan Patriarch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yujian looked at Lin Chang’an enviously—he himself had just barely reached late Foundation Establishment, while Lin Chang’an was already preparing for Core Formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his mother hesitate, Lu Yujian blurted out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother, didn’t big brother in Sea Abyss City also start preparing for Core Formation? We can go together!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that, Lin Chang’an’s eyes flashed with surprise. He recalled Lu Yushu, once full of spirit as a disciple under Master Tan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would’ve thought that in such a short time, he was already preparing for Core Formation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having backing was simply different from being a rogue cultivator. Even Lin Chang’an couldn’t help feeling some envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu Clan Patriarch, rest assured. I won’t trouble you for nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an cupped his hands. Asking for help required sincerity—not just words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her son speak too quickly, Madam Lu could only shake her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had intended to emphasize the difficulty so that Lin Chang’an would remember the favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Fellow Daoist Lin, the Lu Clan recently traded for three spirit vessel tickets. These vessels only cross the sea once every three years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next one is scheduled for next year—are you in a rush?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No rush. Next year works perfectly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an answered without hesitation, relieving Madam Lu inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed he wasn’t fleeing from any crimes. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so calm and composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an then handed over four thousand mid-grade spirit stones, trading for the ticket and receiving the Lu Clan’s guarantee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help recalling that when Hu Jin bought his ticket, it only cost eight hundred mid-grade spirit stones—he had complained it was overpriced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it was Lin Chang’an’s turn, and the price had risen to three thousand mid-grade spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the extra one thousand, Lin Chang’an still smiled as he handed it over—but the pain in his eyes didn’t escape the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For late Foundation Establishment rogue cultivators, such a large amount of spirit stones would always sting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, people had to grease palms—connections weren’t free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lin Chang’an’s attitude, Madam Lu sighed inwardly. She had originally planned to charge less and show goodwill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a late Foundation Establishment cultivator and a second-rank high-grade Talisman Master were worthy of forming ties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in recent years, the Lu Clan had been secretly collecting Core Formation spirit items, gathering their entire clan’s resources to nurture one Core Formation cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lu Clan had weathered many storms. They were truly poor now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even just getting someone to buy the ticket required a lot of effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, they had only acquired two tickets initially. It was only after receiving a letter from Lu Yushu in Sea Abyss City—saying he would attempt Core Formation in the next year or two—that she decided to go in person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Lu Clan’s hope, their future.\u003C\u002Fp>",2810,"2026-06-06T08:45:32.907Z",1,"novelbin.me","0ee5cfa24b6a6a0d42fec0e321b2d6ae1ffa5e65dca7bf06edd9da50547ce794","immortal-cultivation-begins-with-drawing-talisma-chapter-237","immortal-cultivation-begins-with-drawing-talisma-chapter-235",242,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortal-cultivation-begins-with-drawing-talisma-cover.jpg"]
