Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 119 - 112: Secret Technique Mastered

"This Fellow Daoist Song truly cannot be judged by appearances."

After the trade fair dispersed and returning to his cave abode, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help feeling deeply moved. This Fellow Daoist Song was indeed an interesting person.

Others might find him talkative, but for him, every conversation was an opportunity to absorb knowledge and gain experience.

"It’s unexpected that when one intends to plant flowers, they don’t bloom; yet willows grow dense unintentionally."

[Tier One Array Master (Beginner 3/100)]

Looking at his data panel with an additional skill, Lin Chang’an’s face was full of smiles, and his impression of Fellow Daoist Song grew more favorable.

What a good person.

This array technique, for now, doesn’t need in-depth research, but one cannot be ignorant about it. Having an additional skill is one more method of self-preservation.

"However, with this Tier Two Wood Attribute Crystal Core, it’s time to practice this secret technique."

Inside the cave abode, Lin Chang’an took out the demon core he had exchanged for at the trade fair.

This verdant demon core emitted a wood attribute spiritual light, causing Lin Chang’an a moment of reflection.

Before reaching Foundation Establishment, how many Qi Refining Cultivators ventured into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range at the risk of their lives just for this demon core.

Now, it had become an item for exchange among Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

"It’s also because Celestial Profound City gathered countless resources; otherwise, the Zhou Family wouldn’t have easily obtained one before."

Back at the Cyan Bamboo Mountain Market, the circle was only that large, with just so many cultivators, and resources were naturally limited.

The emergence of Celestial Profound City, with its attraction of high-tier spirit veins, was not only appealing to cultivators but also had a natural allure to the demon beasts within the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

The gathering of cultivators and demon beasts brought endless resources.

This resulted in the previous scarcity of Tier Two demon beasts; one had to delve deep into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range. Now, within a thousand miles surrounding Celestial Profound City, countless Tier Two demon beasts had been eliminated.

Even now, there are still frequent incidents of demon beasts attacking cultivators.

Ultimately, both cultivators and demon beasts are driven by resources.

"Celestial Profound City is like a colossal treasure trove, with cultivators bringing endless resources and opportunities."

After Lin Chang’an sighed slightly, he began to focus his mind, preparing to use the method outlined in the secret technique to refine the demon core with the True Fire of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

"Nascent Condensation Formulas"

While Lin Chang’an was practicing the secret technique in his cave abode, Celestial Profound City was rapidly undergoing changes.

Countless loose cultivators brought their families with them. Following the stability brought by the first wave of loose cultivators and the news they brought, the small loose cultivator families from neighboring countries who were observing the situation could no longer sit still.

After all, those daring enough to venture first are always the minority; following the trend is the common practice.

The loose cultivators from neighboring countries were being attracted to the Independent Cultivator City at an astonishing speed.

Celestial Profound City was now formally becoming the Independent Practitioner Sacred Land in this region.

...

Two months later.

[Nascent Condensation Formulas+8 (Beginner 79/100)]

With the demon core being refined by the True Fire of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it finally turned into a relatively smooth bead, which Lin Chang’an slowly swallowed.

"The Nascent Condensation Formulas are finally completed."

Inside the cave abode, Lin Chang’an slowly opened his eyes, revealing a satisfied smile.

At this moment, he could clearly feel the crystal core in his dantian, continuously filtering mana.

"But in terms of mana purity, it doesn’t offer me much help."

The secret technique’s ability to purify mana at this moment made Lin Chang’an shake his head and sigh.

"It’s either that the crystal core’s grade is too low, or the mana cultivated from this ancient cultivation technique is already extremely pure." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

It seems that to further purify his mana, at least a Tier Two Late Stage crystal core or a Tier Three spiritual object is required.

"However, cleansing impurities in mana, or during refining elixirs, is said to be incredibly powerful."

With a curious attitude, Lin Chang’an took out a bottle of refined Tier One Upper Grade elixir, swallowing three without hesitation.

As the three elixirs entered his abdomen, he didn’t immediately absorb their medicinal power but started filtering the elixirs using the crystal core.

He saw the potent medicinal power of the elixirs begin to transform. After passing through the crystal core, the transformed mana was indeed purified, but it was a bit too little.

"This is!"

Suddenly, Lin Chang’an was startled. His divine sense could clearly see a faint black impurity slowly emerging inside the crystal core in his dantian.

This sight was very similar to the Ice Soul Pearl he had seen with Yun Yao before, which also contained this kind of black impurity.

"The impurities in the elixirs, often referred to by cultivators as pill poison."

This discovery filled Lin Chang’an with excitement. For cultivators like Yun Yao, they might cherish the effect of purifying and amplifying mana brought by this secret technique even more.

But for him, cultivating an ancient cultivation technique, his mana was already incredibly pure.

Yet, the ability to cleanse impurities was the most crucial.

"With this, if I continuously consume elixirs to enhance my cultivation in the future, I won’t have to worry about pill poison in the elixirs."

Pill poison, something countless cultivators dreaded.

Even he had worries about this, consuming large quantities of elixirs to speed up cultivation, fearing the repercussions he might face in the future.

Who would have thought this secret technique had such outstanding effects in cleansing pill poison?

"What a truly unexpected gain."

Overjoyed, Lin Chang’an revealed a satisfied smile. After all, how many people in the Immortal Cultivation Realm prepare to rely on large amounts of elixirs for cultivation like him?

"However, there is a cost. For ordinary cultivators practicing this secret technique, a single spiritual object can last a lifetime, but for me, it becomes a consumable item."

Once impurities nearly fill the crystal core, a new crystal core is needed to replace it."
