But Erniu wasn’t home, so he turned back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On his way, he bought ten catties of demon-beast meat before returning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet at this late hour, Lin Chang’an was still wide awake, eagerly toying with his storage pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Green Bamboo Sword constantly going in and out, Lin Chang’an couldn’t stop smiling after returning home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A storage pouch—I never expected I’d possess such a treasure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that he lacked ability before; it was too extravagant and unnecessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But times had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the talismans on the table, Lin Chang’an glanced at the sky outside, then his expression turned solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At my current cultivation level, going to the marketplace to sell premium talismans still carries some risk. It’s safer to improve my cultivation first—after all, I’m officially someone of status now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t the wandering cultivator who risked his life hunting demon beasts for a few spirit crystals anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t life about continuous improvement?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, Lin Chang’an slept soundly, embracing the storage pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden Light Talismans were pasted on his door and windows at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Lin Chang’an sat cross-legged, hands forming seals, with his five centers oriented toward the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the wood-attribute Evergreen Art circulated, he seemed to meld with Heaven and Earth—today he finally reached a critical point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like thunder, yet silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the shackles shattered, every limb and bone, every inch of skin seemed to leap with joy, filled with boundless energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, his magical power surged. Lin Chang’an maintained his focus, cultivating Evergreen Art. After completing several circadian cycles, his inner magical energy gradually stabilized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once his internal energy calmed, Lin Chang’an exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Twenty years in cultivation, at the age of forty—I’ve finally entered mid Qi Refining!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Refining Fourth Layer—the threshold of mid-stage Qi Refining. He had finally stepped onto that path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of emotion washed over Lin Chang’an—both excitement and the bittersweetness of the journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But feeling the changes within, he inhaled deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So this is mid-stage Qi Refining. No wonder they said Fourth Layer is the true first step onto the path of immortality.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His five senses had sharpened severalfold. Especially after the breakthrough, his mind cleared; memories of his two lives, once blurred, now shone clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sharper senses, marrow-cleansing wisdom—this is the real difference between cultivators and mortals!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His internal magical power also became more substantial, doubling after the breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Name: Lin Chang’an】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Lifespan: 40\u002F98】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Realm: Qi Refining Fourth Layer (0\u002F100)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Cultivation Art: Evergreen Art (Mastery: 8\u002F1000)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The panel data changed after the breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realm breakthroughs often affect stats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lifespan increased by ten years—a result he understood; after all, the wood-attribute Evergreen Art contains longevity and beauty-preserving effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the mastery in Evergreen Art also increased?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Breaking through to Qi Refining Fourth Layer deepened my understanding of Evergreen Art—this personal experience suddenly awarded so much cultivation experience.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering, Lin Chang’an understood why his art progress had jumped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivation art mastery corresponds to how deeply one comprehends the art—basically one’s talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides spiritual roots, comprehension also limits cultivation speed—if I understand the art more deeply, that can compensate for some shortfall in roots.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Lin Chang’an’s eyes shone with confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After ascending to Qi Refining Fourth Layer, Lin Chang’an felt more secure—and bought spirit fruits he’d never have afforded before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having finally broken through, a celebration was in order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From then on, he spent his days drawing talismans, cultivating, and studying his art during leisure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Day after day passed. Half a month later, Erniu finally returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Lin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Erniu, you’re finally back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newly arrived Erniu smiled broadly, carrying two flasks of spirit wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering, he habitually scanned the place, noticing the demon-beast meat stewing on the stove and the precious spirit fruits on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erniu was startled—but twenty years of cultivation had matured him beyond the naive farm boy he once was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Lin! You’ve broken through!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned and saw an indistinct radiance around Lin Chang’an—his cultivation was no longer that of Qi Refining Third Level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I bought a Golden Marrow Pill at Treasure Pavilion. Luckily, it worked.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an replied with a smile. Lit up, Erniu excitedly slapped his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Lin, that’s amazing! Now we can cultivate together in this marketplace!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though years had changed them, Erniu stood by Lin Chang’an as steadfast as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put the spirit wine on the table, his cheeks shining with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These two flasks of spirit wine are just right for celebrating, Brother Lin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the cultivation world, a true friend was rare. The two arranged the stewed meat and spirit fruits on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an didn’t have to fetch it—he returned the spirit crystals borrowed from Erniu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With cups full, the pair drank their first toast, and only then began to dig in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Lin, your talisman-making skill has advanced, and now your cultivation breakthrough—it proves deeply rooted Evergreen Art working impeccably. Your future in the Immortal Path is promising. Congratulations!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an smiled and nodded. Modest in face, but inside he felt proud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his Qi Refining later-than-late breakthrough, seasoned cultivators might scoff. But for wandering cultivators from the bottom, every advancement was worth celebration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After three rounds of wine, Erniu’s face flushed, and he opened up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not to nitpick, but your ability to craft premium Golden Light Talismans shows you already possess the skill for first-rank mid-grade talismans. Now with your breakthrough, you should consider producing them soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand.” Lin Chang’an’s expression grew serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His previous talismans were first-rank low-grade—though praised for nearing mid-grade quality, they still lagged behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most obvious difference: price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the cultivation world, talisman craft was widespread only for first-rank low-grade. Beyond that, except for powerful cultivators, most mid and higher grades were monopolized by sects and noble families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, would they let valuables spread outside?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Erniu, though simple, was truly clever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two exchanged glances and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they didn’t explicitly discuss it, Lin Chang’an knew: gaining the art of first-rank mid-grade talismans would require investment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his age, joining a sect wasn’t realistic—at most he’d be a talisman craftsman under a sect’s industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he could ally himself with a powerful cultivation family.\u003C\u002Fp>",1079,"2026-06-06T08:45:32.624Z",1,"novelbin.me","45e11b002ae5fa8d311979fd5eb1e09c1d2040f499f2f64d8ff17fd98f62dcaf","immortal-cultivation-begins-with-drawing-talisma-chapter-7","immortal-cultivation-begins-with-drawing-talisma-chapter-5",242,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortal-cultivation-begins-with-drawing-talisma-cover.jpg"]
