Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 121 - 113: Tier Two Pill Master

Two and a half years later.

Celestial Profound City has evidently grown into a sacred land for Loose Cultivators.

It has attracted countless Loose Cultivators, and it is even more prosperous compared to the time when it was governed by three parties.

After all, in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, in terms of foundation and quality, Loose Cultivators might not compare to those large Sects, but when it comes to numbers, they are like wild grass.

Loose Cultivators are endless.

[Life Span: 60/215]

[Realm: Foundation Establishment Initial Stage (22/100)]

"To be at the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage in one’s sixties is already quite good among Loose Cultivators."

Lin Chang’an, within his cave abode, gazed at the unchanging appearance reflected in the calm water of his teacup, feeling a sense of nostalgia.

This is the charm of cultivation; for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, reaching sixty is just the beginning, giving a feeling of growing younger.

"Over the years, I underestimated the Alchemy Skill, or rather, each of the Hundred Skills of Cultivation contains its mysteries, and none should be underestimated."

Before him, the flickering fire of the Pill Furnace shone, and as his cultivation deepened and his Cultivation Technique’s mana became purer, he could freely control True Fire.

"It’s done."

Half an incense stick later, as the fire of the Pill Furnace gradually dissipated and an aromatic scent of elixir filled the air, Lin Chang’an’s face showed a satisfied smile.

And the notification sound appeared on the panel.

[Tier Two Pill Master +5 (Beginner 4/100)]

"I am finally a Tier Two Pill Master."

As the Pill Furnace opened, five glowing Spiritual Light pills floated out, evoking endless emotions in Lin Chang’an.

Thinking back, he successfully established his Foundation at the age of 54 and then started to delve into the path of Alchemy for more than six years before breaking through to Tier Two.

Although he felt it was a bit slow, if this spread, it would likely make many envious.

"Tier Two Lower Grade Elixir, finally achieved."

Seeing the elixir, still radiating a hot aura in his palm, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but shake his head.

Previously, he was quite confident and thought he could break through in at most a year, but little did he know, it became increasingly difficult as he proceeded.

He had to spend many days just to take this final crucial step.

"But persistence paid off, raising a skill to Tier Two in six years; such talent is rare in the Immortal Cultivation Realm."

Looking at his realm proficiency, he finally didn’t have to endure the torturously slow cultivation pace anymore.

"Let’s see what you can do, Tier Two Elixir."

Taking a deep breath, Lin Chang’an calmed his mind, swallowed an elixir, and began running the Nascent Condensation Formulas to absorb its medicinal power.

Truly a Tier Two Elixir, its potent medicinal power surged in his abdomen, soon enveloped and refined by the crystal core of the Nascent Condensation Formulas, transforming into pure mana.

This sensation allowed him to feel the cultivation progress once more, which had become almost imperceptible over the past six years.

So distinct this time.

Five days later, Lin Chang’an slowly opened his eyes, having fully exhausted the medicinal power of the Tier Two Elixir.

"This cultivation speed is entirely on another level. If I could have Tier Two Elixirs supporting my cultivation in the future, my cultivation speed would at least double."

With six years of hard work paying off, a smile appeared on Lin Chang’an’s face.

"But I have almost consumed the main materials for refining elixirs; next, I need to purchase some before mass refining for auxiliary cultivation."

Thanks to the rapid development of Celestial Profound City over the years and Master Lu’s extensive connections across neighboring countries,

market trading in Celestial Profound City became increasingly heated, allowing him to easily sell off his Tier Two Talismans.

This granted him significant convenience, and in these two years, despite his activities in alchemy, talisman painting, and occasionally learning about arrays and other miscellaneous studies, he never delayed his cultivation.

Walking out of his cave abode, the Cyan-Horned Bull, soaking in the water, basking in the sun, became excited upon seeing its master departing.

Its huge, sturdy physique gave an imposing feeling, yet this enormous creature now appeared with a begging demeanor.

"Moo moo."

Hearing the pleading cry of the Cyan-Horned Bull, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but envyingly stroke its smooth skin.

"A high-grade bloodline is truly enviable."

This Cyan-Horned Bull only needs good food and drink, and its cultivation progress speeds rival Lin Chang’an’s without any slowness.

Its current aura suggests it could break through to the Tier Two Middle Stage within a decade or so.

Even Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but marvel at this.

"There’s really no difference between humans and demon beasts; Spirit Root and bloodline are essentially the same, and everything is predestined at birth."

Because of this, both human cultivators and demon beasts contend with destiny.

Human cultivators create cultivation techniques, refine Spirit Pills, and change their Spirit Root aptitudes.

While demon beasts are driven by instinct to seek Spirit Grass and vie for Exotic Fruit, also evolving their bloodlines.

The end is the same; all seek the creations of heaven and earth.

"But you, Niu’Er, are lucky to have met me; an average person would be unwilling to feed you this way."

Looking at the Cyan-Horned Bull’s current growth, Lin Chang’an nodded in satisfaction.

Apart from the Spirit Grass and Spirit Fruit regularly delivered by the Zhou Family to feed the Cyan-Horned Bull, he also learned a lot about Beast Taming over the past two years.

In the Market Trading Area, he would occasionally purchase some as well.

Otherwise, how could this bull grow so quickly?

It grew by consuming countless Spirit Stones.

"Let’s go, accompany me to the Market Trading Area."

Before leaving, Lin Chang’an habitually stored the Cyan-Horned Bull in the Spirit Beast Bag, feeling more at ease with a Tier Two Spirit Beast accompanying him.

...

"Greetings, Senior Lin."

Just as Lin Chang’an stepped out of his cave, he encountered the two grandchildren of his neighbor, Chen Qing, Chen Wen, and Chen Feng.

"Ah, it’s the two young friends."

The once young individuals had become more composed, especially since both had now reached the Qi Refining Middle Stage in their cultivation.
