Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 135 - 118: Tier Two Middle Grade Talisman Master_2
There are many types of demon beasts, but aside from flying demon beasts, the ones cultivators least want to deal with are the poisonous ones.
Not only are they incredibly fierce, but just the fact that they’re poisonous makes cultivators avoid them like the plague.
"I still have two bottles of fire attribute demon beast essence blood left, Mr. Lin, you can have them."
Old Hu laughed heartily, and for Lin Chang’an, who was painting Firebird and Bursting Talismans, the fire attribute demon beast essence blood was just what he needed to enhance their power.
"Alright, but Mr. Lin, these two spirit talismans of mine don’t seem to be enough, right?"
"Mr. Lin, you must be joking. Although these spirit talismans have been going up in price recently, it’s not to the extent that..."
Then he picked up the two talismans on the table, and Old Hu, who had a rough smile on his face, suddenly froze, and in the next moment, his expression dramatically changed.
"My goodness, Mr. Lin, you’re right. Look at me, Old Hu, saying nonsense. Let me add two more bottles of demon beast essence blood."
The change in demeanor of this mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, Old Hu, left everyone dumbfounded.
He changed his tune so quickly.
Yet in the next moment, the crowd wasn’t foolish; they reacted and saw Old Hu holding the talismans like treasures, and their expressions changed as well.
"Congratulations, Mr. Lin."
"Mr. Lin, you really kept us in the dark."
"Congratulations on your advancement in talisman skill, Mr. Lin."
The crowd was just as stunned as Old Hu, and the two juniors, Chen Wen and Chen Feng, were even more dumbfounded by this scene.
What kind of talismans are these, that two of them could be exchanged for four bottles of Tier Two demon beast essence blood.
Faced with the crowd’s compliments, Lin Chang’an waved his hand with a smile and said:
"I was lucky, having researched talismans for decades; I’ve finally made some small progress."
"Mr. Lin, you’re too modest. A Tier Two Middle Grade Talisman Master is considered a small achievement?"
"Exactly, in the entire Celestial Profound City, the number of Tier Two Middle Grade Talisman Masters can be counted on one hand."
Everyone looked at Lin Chang’an with envy. Although they were also foundation establishment loose cultivators, their paths were vastly different.
This group of loose cultivators considered reaching Foundation Establishment as having used up most of their life’s luck.
As for making further breakthroughs in the Hundred Skills of Cultivation, it’s extremely rare.
Even Old Hu, with the highest cultivation at the mid-stage Foundation Establishment, was all smiles as he interacted with Lin Chang’an.
A Tier Two Middle Grade Talisman Master is a valuable guest, whether in the Three Major Sects or Celestial Profound City.
"Congratulations, Mr. Lin."
Chen Qing was also overjoyed, congratulating with cupped hands, having never expected that his neighbor Lin Chang’an would turn out to be a Tier Two Middle Grade Talisman Master. It would be an honor to say so to others.
Moreover, by befriending a Tier Two Middle Grade Talisman Master, they could procure talismans in advance when needed in the future.
"Although my spirit root quality has its limits, fortunately, heaven has favored me with decent talent in talisman arts."
With a melancholic expression, Lin Chang’an spoke, and everyone could empathize, nodding along.
Only fellow loose cultivators could understand the hardships they have been through.
Everyone exchanged some resources, and as the sun set, they smiled and cupped fists in parting, heading towards the auction site.
The streets outside that were bustling earlier had quieted down significantly.
Through the windows, it was clear to see late-stage Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators heading towards the auction venue.
Seated alone at the Gathering Immortals Tower, Lin Chang’an was frowning slightly, analyzing the intelligence he had gathered.
"The territory controlled by Celestial Profound City is limited. Although there are many demon beasts in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, more of them are deep inside, where toxic miasma wreaks havoc."
"It’s said that in the depths of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, divine sense is easily confounded, and unfamiliar Foundation Establishment cultivators could lose their way, not to mention the highly toxic miasma, which even they cannot linger around for long..."
Sitting by the table, Lin Chang’an gently tapped it, frowning slightly.
"No wonder prices have been rising recently; a significant part of the reason is likely because of this."
Demon beasts are treasures through and through. Their leather can be used to make magical artifacts, talisman papers require them, and their essence blood has numerous uses. Whether for medicinal baths, talisman painting, or alchemy, essence blood is needed.
Their claws and teeth, being sharp, are excellent materials for artifact refining.
Even the demon beast meat is considered a top-grade supplement.
"It seems that the market for antitoxic pills will be much larger in the future."
Thinking of this brought a smile to Lin Chang’an’s face as he had found a lead.
Indeed, regularly gathering information from fellow Foundation Establishment cultivators was the right choice.
At this auction, if there’s a chance, I must acquire a prescription for Tier Two Antitoxic Pills.
This item will certainly sell well in the future.
"It’s time to head to the auction venue."
Looking at the sky outside, Lin Chang’an smiled.
...
On the streets of Celestial Profound City.
Chen Qing was gravely instructing the two juniors.
"Listen carefully, once inside, observe and learn, but keep your mouths shut."
"Yes."
Seeing the two juniors, Chen Wen and Chen Feng, who were already at the late stage of Qi Refining, Chen Qing smiled with satisfaction, thinking that the Chen Family might indeed rise in his hands.
"But Grandpa, that Senior Lin became a Tier Two Middle Grade Talisman Master."
Feeling uncomfortable about the previous matter relating to the spirit fields, and now seeing Lin Chang’an being treated like a star, Chen Wen was even more jealous.
"Watch your words!"
Seeing Chen Wen’s stubborn nature, Chen Qing felt both gratified and a bit worried.
A cultivator without this kind of tenacity would not easily reach Foundation Establishment, but Chen Wen’s character could lead to problems. Luckily, this youngster knew when to yield and wasn’t too obstinate.
"What do you know? The status of a Tier Two Middle Grade Talisman Master holds considerable weight even in the Three Major Sects."
However, Chen Wen was unconvinced as he concentrated and said:
