Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 294 - 181: Insider Information Brought by Yun Yao (2)

"Uncle Lin, these are the remaining Foundation Establishment Pills after my breakthrough."

When Wei Yingying handed over the Foundation Establishment Pills that she hadn't used, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

This girl has indeed learned the cleverness of Little Junior Sister perfectly.

From his perspective, he didn't want to covet the juniors' resources, and from Wei Yingying's perspective, three premium Foundation Establishment Pills definitely meant Lin Chang'an had contributed greatly.

However, upon opening the jade bottle and seeing that there were actually two premium Foundation Establishment Pills inside, Lin Chang'an squinted his eyes.

"It seems that letting you hone your skills for a few more years was the right decision; you managed to establish your foundation with just one pill."

After all, Wei Yingying had spent a few extra years honing her skills, so it was reasonable that she could break through with just one Foundation Establishment Pill.

Coupled with the dual cultivation secret technique between her and her husband, Shen Fan's breakthrough back then also provided some assistance to Wei Yingying.

"However, these Foundation Establishment Pills belong to you, so there's no need to return them."

Shen Fan had always been very respectful towards this elder, appearing sincere.

While Wei Yingying was also respectful, he knew this girl's demeanor and that of Little Junior Sister all too well. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Returning the Foundation Establishment Pills actually brought them closer, indicating they were not greedy people.

"Without Uncle Lin, how could Fan and I have established our foundations?"

Wei Yingying's expression was firm, showing no wavering despite the loss of two premium Foundation Establishment Pills.

To give is to gain, and Lu Qingqing's teachings, along with her own thoughts, made her well aware of Uncle Lin's status and connections.

A Tier Two Upper Grade Talisman Master, and his connections in Celestial Profound City, today she sacrificed two premium Foundation Establishment Pills, with the understanding that it will benefit her if she faces difficulties in the future.

As the gap in cultivation grows wider, those of the older generation drift further away.

Her father Wei Buyi had also reminded her multiple times about how Erniu and Uncle Lin were once close, but their cultivation difference now placed them in different worlds.

Care for the younger generation is limited, and relationships fade over time.

Wei Yingying's careful thoughts couldn't escape him, yet this cleverness made Lin Chang'an nod approvingly.

However, among the Foundation Establishment Pills, there was also a contribution from Yun Yao.

"In that case, I'll take back these two premium Foundation Establishment Pills, but there's a gift you mustn't refuse."

With a flicker of green light, Lin Chang'an reluctantly stroked the Cyan Bamboo Sword. Ever since obtaining the Cyan Scale Sword, this ordinary spiritual weapon had long been unused.

"The Cyan Bamboo Sword was initially awarded to contributors of Cyan Bamboo Mountain's development; your elders should have mentioned it.

Later, as my cultivation grew, it was continuously reforged, accompanying me in establishing my foundation, becoming a spiritual weapon."

Lin Chang'an's gaze carried a hint of nostalgia, the scenes along his decades-long cultivation journey reflecting one by one on the blade.

There were too many memories, and too many familiar faces have forever vanished.

"Uncle Lin, this is too valuable!"

This is even more precious than two premium Foundation Establishment Pills.

However, Lin Chang'an didn't give the two a chance to refuse, shaking his head with a light sigh. This was not only his gesture of goodwill, but it also included a contribution of Foundation Establishment materials from Yun Yao.

In addition to the two premium Foundation Establishment Pills, he hadn't actually lost out.

"Take it, this represents more than just your Uncle Lin's goodwill."

Lin Chang'an hinted meaningfully, and as expected, Wei Yingying, ever so clever, subtly tugged at Shen Fan, her mind silently guessing.

Besides Uncle Lin, who else could there be?

"With your dual cultivation combined attack secret technique, having this spiritual weapon in hand, you will be safeguarded in the future."

Under the combined strength of the couple's secret technique, plus a spiritual weapon, their power was not inferior to ordinary mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Shaking his head, Lin Chang'an knew it was time to make preparations, saying farewell to these old friends he had over the years.

This departure might mean never meeting again in the future.

...

"Old Lin, although we plan to travel together to the Demon Beast Abyss, we can't rush. We need to prepare thoroughly."

In the tavern, Old Hu's face lit up with joy when he saw Lin Chang'an approve.

However, he started reminding him that this journey to the Demon Beast Abyss was different from before.

"Of course, the current situation in the Yue Kingdom will remain calm for a few years. We indeed need to make good preparations while we have the chance."

As Foundation Establishment cultivators, they were heading to the Demon Beast Abyss to seek fortune, not rushing into it blindly.

They needed to know what was currently happening in the Demon Beast Abyss, any major events, where to settle once there, and what needed to be prepared for.

These weren't matters they could decide today and set off in two or three months.

"In terms of preparation!"

Lin Chang'an pondered silently; over the years, he had cultivated the Water Escape Technique to its highest realm, making him adept at water combat.

For offense, he had the Cyan Scale Sword; for defense and suppression, the Yellow Dragon Bell, both top-grade spiritual artifacts. Not to mention, he had a talisman treasure as his trump card.

As long as he didn't encounter a Core Formation cultivator, he had nothing to fear.

"Old Hu, I estimate that the prosperity of the market won't last for many years either."

Lin Chang'an sighed lightly. They had witnessed the black market's rise to prosperity, only to watch its decline.

Master Lu's lifespan was nearing its end, and currently, there was some unrest in Celestial Profound City. Although their black market was still doing good business,

it was clear to anyone that it wouldn't last much longer.

Shops were difficult to sell now.

"No worries, we've already made back our investment long ago. We should seize the opportunity in the next couple of years and take advantage of it before starting anew in a new place, different from here."

Old Hu lifted his drink and downed it in one gulp, revealing a hearty smile.
