Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 141 - 120: Evil Essence Sword Formulas 2

Under Lin Chang’an’s expectant gaze, he took out the Cyan Bamboo Sword, which had already advanced to a Spiritual Artifact, from his Storage Bag.

Utilizing the Sword Formulas, a more fierce cyan Sword Aura flashed out in an instant.

With a ’ding’ sound, a clear clash echoed.

The golden shield instantly deformed; although it withstood the Sword Aura, it dimmed slightly.

Lin Chang’an then swung twice more, finally shattering the golden shield on the third strike under heavy strain.

"Three swords! It only took three swords to shatter a Tier Two Middle Grade Vajra Talisman!"

Seeing the power, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but reveal a satisfied smile on his face.

The Blood Spirit Spike, combined with the Flying Needle Spiritual Artifact, might achieve a piercing strike, breaking instantly.

But it’s important to note that the Flying Needle is inherently adept at countering Protective Spiritual Light, and there were too many limitations on the Blood Spirit Spike.

But this was his regular attack.

"Now my strength is perhaps enough to threaten Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators."

Lin Chang’an felt somewhat reassured; with more strength, he felt more at ease.

Now, with numerous methods and a Tier Two Spirit Pet, even ordinary Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators couldn’t easily deal with him.

"However, the last Sword Aura had a trace of blood energy."

After the happiness, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but frown secretly.

Because of cultivating this Secret Technique, he had suffered severe damage to his meridians, and hadn’t recovered yet, testing the power of the Sword Aura.

Originally, the mana color of his Wood Attribute Technique was a faint cyan, but due to the damage in his meridians, it turned slightly bloody.

At that moment, he finally understood why this predecessor from three hundred years ago was called the Blood Evil Sword Monarch.

"I really wonder what kind of Spirit Body this predecessor had to cultivate all the way to the Golden Core Realm."

Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but sigh; there were simply too many brilliant cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, many of whom were legends dominating an era.

He was able to successfully cultivate this Secret Technique not only because of his Self-Healing Body but also because cultivating this Ancient Cultivation Technique made his mana extraordinarily pure.

This allowed him to complete the initiation smoothly.

However, even he couldn’t recklessly use this Sword Formulas in Magical Combat, as overexertion would lead his Self-Healing Body to deplete his life force.

"Next is to recover the internal injuries and then practice alchemy and cultivation."

...

The spring breeze swept through, and just after the second auction in Celestial Profound City concluded, a piece of news disrupted the tranquility.

"Something major happened. Li Huo Palace announced that the Spirit Land in Celestial Profound City was originally discovered by Li Huo Palace and Profound Sound Pavilion, but now it’s been seized by Master Lu.

Now a bounty has been issued publicly; any Talisman Master, Pill Master... under Celestial Profound City’s jurisdiction is listed."

"What! How is it possible? I’m also a Pill Master!" A cultivator, upon hearing the news, showed a face full of terror.

Instead, a cultivator beside him immediately scoffed: "You’re overthinking it. Those on the bounty list have skills at Upper Grade Tier One and above to qualify."

"As for you, fellow Daoist..."

For a moment, this Loose Cultivator’s face flushed with embarrassment, yet he didn’t know how to retort.

At this moment, he couldn’t tell if he should feel fortunate or angry.

As soon as this bounty order came out, it exploded the entire Celestial Profound City, prompting widespread discussion.

Although Celestial Profound City also implemented countermeasures.

Gathering Immortals Tower.

"Brother Lin, it’s chaotic outside now; Skill cultivators with Upper Grade Tier One are worth four thousand Spirit Stones as a bounty. Two of them are worth about as much as a Foundation Establishment Pill."

Shen Lie’s expression was somewhat flustered, making Wei Buyi, who had just broken through to Upper Grade Tier One in skill, widen his eyes directly.

"Damn it, I just broke through!"

After several years of arduous cultivation, Wei Buyi himself came from a family with a heritage of Pill Masters, his father was once even an Upper Grade Tier One Pill Master.

After finally breaking through to Upper Grade Tier One Pill Master, he’s now told he’s been put on the bounty.

Moreover, it’s worth four thousand Spirit Stones.

He just broke through and hadn’t yet had a chance to celebrate, only to be doused with cold water.

"It seems the bounty offered by Li Huo Palace is indeed tempting."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chang’an frowned; Yun Yao had informed him earlier, so he wasn’t unprepared.

"Brother Lin, your Foundation Establishment cultivation, and as a Tier Two Middle Grade Talisman Master, the bounty for you includes a Spiritual Artifact, five Foundation Establishment Pills, and an additional High-Level Cultivation Technique, even allowing the hunter to join Li Huo Palace for protection."

The scale of this bounty is indeed significant.

It’s essential to note that Skill Cultivators have assets inherently more substantial than ordinary Cultivators, and now with bounties, isn’t it an explicit temptation for people?

"It seems I’m rather valuable. Li Huo Palace only targets Celestial Profound City, a very ruthless tactic."

Even Lin Chang’an had to admire the means of Li Huo Palace.

With this bounty order, he could already envision the crisis within Celestial Profound City.

This was evidently designed to cause turmoil within Celestial Profound City, and even those cultivators who do genuinely claim the bounty, for fear of retaliation, most will likely join Li Huo Palace.

Thus, Li Huo Palace would gain battle power effortlessly.

It appears as though they are granting bounties, but aren’t both the people and the bounties joining Li Huo Palace?

This is an open strategy.

And this is also the drawback of Loose Cultivators.

Loose Cultivators have always been like a heap of loose sand, and even though Master Lu used Celestial Profound City to gather Loose Cultivators together, he couldn’t change their scattered nature.

This is different from Sect and family Cultivators; they are raised in a way that develops the mindset of considering the Sect and family as their roots.

"What a turbulent time."

Lin Chang’an shook his head helplessly, while Wei Buyi’s face was particularly grim.

The bounty response from Celestial Profound City against Li Huo Palace’s Skill Cultivator bounty was evidently lacking in weight.

This was a fundamental difference.
