Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 278 - 175: Dividing Treasures in Celestial Profound City

Celestial Profound City.

After a long and dusty journey, a group of three, in disguise, finally returned.

Upon their return, Lin Chang'an and Yun Yao went straight to Lin Chang'an's cave dwelling.

Meanwhile, Old Hu went back first to duplicate the agreed-upon secret techniques.

Inside the cave dwelling.

"Haha, Old Lin, this time we've made a big profit."

When Old Hu returned, he had already changed into a clean Dharma robe and was rubbing his hands together enthusiastically.

Lin Chang'an and Yun Yao had long been sitting inside the pavilion, waiting, with the treasures from this expedition already divided.

"Each of these inheritance jade slips has been duplicated once, so each of us gets a copy, including the cultivation techniques, cultivation insights, etc., of this true person..."

Looking at the duplicated jade slips on the stone table, Old Hu's face was full of smiles, finally back to Celestial Profound City, no longer having to be so on edge outside.

However, Old Hu's eyes were still constantly glancing at the magical treasure on the stone table.

Seeing this, Yun Yao sighed lightly and said:

"It's a pity, these four magical treasures, having been corroded and not nourished for a century, have lost most of their spirituality, and now only have a tenth or so of their peak power."

Although Lin Chang'an also felt regretful, after hearing Yun Yao's words, he smiled and replied:

"These are magical treasures of a late-stage Core Formation cultivator. Even if only at a tenth of their peak, their power is not to be underestimated, far beyond what we Foundation Establishment cultivators can wield."

These magical treasures now probably aren't much worse than lower grade treasures.

"Exactly, Old Lin's words are reasonable. Although Mr. Yun is at the late-stage Foundation Establishment, planning for Core Formation is not so easy. Having these magical treasures is an extra assurance."

Old Hu said excitedly, retrieving his own secret technique jade slip in front of the two.

"Three-Turns Condensing Pill Formulas, passed down from my ancestors, although the cultivation conditions are harsh, if all three turns are completed, can increase the Core Formation probability by twenty to thirty percent."

Mentioning his ancestral secret techniques, Old Hu's expression turned serious.

After Lin Chang'an and Yun Yao used their divine sense to examine this jade slip, they were both shocked.

This Old Hu's family lineage is deep, possessing even such a secret technique.

The "Three-Turns Condensing Pill Formulas" requires searching for three Tier Three Lower Grade Demon Pills with the same attributes as the cultivator, then using a special method to refine them with True Fire, first purging the impurities within the demon pill.

Then, using a secret technique to refine them, extracting the Elixir Liquid, a spiritual object, to assist the cultivator's Core Formation.

"Refining one takes seven or eight years, while three would take over two decades."

"It is said that this Elixir Liquid cannot be preserved for long, so the cultivator must form a core as soon as possible."

After Lin Chang'an and Yun Yao finished reading this auxiliary Core Formation secret technique, they couldn't help but express their admiration.

"More than that, the ability to improve the Core Formation probability also depends on the quality of the demon pills found. If they are three Tier Three Upper Grade Demon Pills with the same attributes, the probability can increase by more than sixty to seventy percent!"

At this time, Old Hu confidently held up five fingers.

"Tier Three Upper Grade Demon Pills? Why don't you say it requires a Nascent Soul spiritual object."

Lin Chang'an chuckled wryly, even the Tier Three Lower Grade Demon Pills are already very difficult to obtain.

But Yun Yao just smiled faintly, put away the jade slip, and casually tossed the Flying Knife Treasure over.

Suddenly, Old Hu was overjoyed. The secret technique is static, and finding the Tier Three Demon Pills isn't any easier than obtaining a Core Formation spiritual object.

But this incomplete magical treasure is dynamic!

"Mr. Hu, I observe this secret technique was also likely from the Demon Sect. The so-called demon pill, or rather the Golden Core of a Core Formation cultivator practicing the same cultivation techniques, would be optimal."

Yun Yao's cool voice echoed, naturally, Lin Chang'an also saw through the content recorded in this secret technique.

The demon pill is just a substitute, the best effect comes from the Golden Core within a Core Formation cultivator practicing the same cultivation techniques.

"Old Lin, Mr. Yun, these are matters from hundreds of years ago. If Old Hu truly knew this well, could our family have been forced to flee here from our homeland?"

Old Hu sighed helplessly, expressing his complete ignorance of his lineage origin.

But Lin Chang'an only shook his head with a smile, musing that indeed, Demonic Cultivation Techniques are always with challenging directions, but at least it's better than having no direction.

With his low-grade spirit root aptitude, Core Formation is extremely difficult, but with this secret technique, he's found a path.

After dividing the treasure from the Core Formation cultivator's cave dwelling, the three all smiled, no longer as tense and wary as when they were in the cave dwelling's ruins.

Even the Dharma robe with severely diminished spirituality wasn't worth much, eventually ending up in Lin Chang'an's hands, but he knew that once exposed, it could cause trouble.

Thus, this Dharma robe was something to accumulate.

This cooperation resulted in an initial level of trust among the three.

At least, during the Foundation Establishment Stage, when faced with the allure of the Core Formation cultivator's treasures, they all maintained enough composure to control their inner greed.

"Come, come, I, Old Hu, brought a jug of fine Spirit Wine this time, let's toast to our safe and thrilling adventure."

In the pavilion, with a face full of smiles, Old Hu took out the Spirit Wine, even Yun Yao rarely showed a smile.

Obviously, the three had quite the harvest this time.

After celebrating for a while, their minds turned to reviewing their respective gains, so the three soon went their separate ways.

...

Inside the cave dwelling.

"This time's harvest is indeed abundant, especially the deal with Old Hu, it was completely profitable."

At this moment, Lin Chang'an sat cross-legged on the cultivation cushion, eyes continually evaluating the harvest from this time.

Tier Three Main Array Disc (damaged), Blood Evil Sword (damaged), forty-three Upper Grade Spirit Stones, and two bottles of elixirs for healing and mana recovery.
