Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 316 - 190: The Difficulty of Core Formation (Part 2)
It seems to be saying that it is now a Tier Two Late Stage Spirit Beast, very powerful indeed.
"Okay, you might have an advantage against cultivators, but when it comes to hunting sea beasts, your Firebird nature can easily be restrained."
Lin Chang’an appropriately suppressed the bird, otherwise, it might become too conceited.
The Phoenix Cry Bird immediately glared unhappily, chirping incessantly as if expressing something, then flew directly to the perch.
It effortlessly pecked holes into a palm-sized fish scale right in front of him.
Seeing this, Lin Chang’an was speechless; the bird being too shrewd isn’t necessarily a good thing.
These fish scales were left behind when sea beasts attacked half a year ago.
The Phoenix Cry Bird piercing through them easily proves its armor-piercing ability against Tier Two Demon Beasts.
"Alright, I know you’re fierce, if we encounter powerful enemies or demon beasts in the future, I’ll let you take them head-on."
Although the bird is shrewd, it can’t outsmart humans.
Lin Chang’an’s words left it bewildered, as if it had fallen into a trap.
"Moo!"
Meanwhile, the Cyan-Horned Bull lazily walked out of the pool, raising its head to envy the Phoenix Cry Bird, before approaching Lin Chang’an with a pleasing sound.
"Alright, you two come with me to the market."
After collecting the two beasts, Lin Chang’an walked out of the cave mansion.
Amidst beautiful scenery, there were Spirit Fields, and within them, cultivators from three clans at the second or third level of Qi Refining busily working.
Upon seeing Lin Chang’an, these low-tier cultivators respectfully saluted from afar.
"These are Inferior Spirit Roots, also known as pseudo-spirit roots, making cultivation much harder; compared to them, my low-grade spirit root is quite good."
Seeing them, Lin Chang’an sighed inwardly, realizing he shouldn’t underestimate himself.
At least he’s much stronger than those with pseudo-spirit roots.
On the way to the outskirts of Jade Spirit Island, Lin Chang’an thought to himself that the Demon Beast Abyss was different from the previous cultivation land, and having a flying spiritual boat makes travel convenient.
"Senior Lin, be careful when traveling lately."
He coincidentally met a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator from the Li Family, who saluted him respectfully.
"Careful? Have tribulation cultivators caused turmoil again?"
The word "again" made Lin Chang’an unconsciously accustomed, with a trace of helplessness between his brows.
The Outer Sea truly never rests.
Sea beasts, natural disasters, tribulation cultivators, never cease.
"Senior Lin, it’s the Lu Family from Jade Spirit Island. They forcefully settled on the island and became very influential but later offended many and were forced to escape..."
Seeing the other’s awkward expression, Lin Chang’an understood.
The Lu Family being forced to flee likely involves the three great families.
However, these grievances have nothing to do with him.
Anyway, he has no family ties and won’t have conflicts of interest with the local three great families.
Lin Chang’an nodded lightly, understanding the other’s kind reminder.
Then he rode his flying sword away, and after flying dozens of miles from Jade Spirit Island, he sensed no one around and disguised himself.
He used the Bloodthirsty Poison Vine to alter his mana aura and contained it to avoid detection.
However, the next moment, Lin Chang’an put away his flying sword and dove into the seawater.
[Water Escape Technique (Supreme)]
Diving into the deep sea, Lin Chang’an’s eyes gleamed with spiritual light; although Divine Sense can probe, his Spiritual Eye sees further.
Especially the darkness below.
Having started cultivating the Water Escape Technique in the Celestial Profound City, it proves useful in the Demon Beast Abyss.
"Certainly, only prior preparation is worthwhile, rather than last-minute rush."
In the water, he could breathe through his skin, and after activating the Water Escape Technique, his speed wasn’t much slower than on land.
He could clearly see various bizarre-shaped fish.
"This way, even battling in water won’t significantly weaken combat power."
Nodding secretly, Lin Chang’an sped towards Five Dragons Island.
...
Five Dragons Island.
The once-a-decade grand event gathered cultivators on Five Dragons Island, with various commercial guilds and surrounding sea cultivators hunting sea demons.
Yet among the enormous market, each cultivator displayed a hostile aura, appearing tough.
Lin Chang’an disguised himself as a rogue, revealing an aura of evil energy; in the market, mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation wasn’t weak.
Seeing numerous guild flags alongside flags from major sects of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, he nodded slightly.
"The Seven Kingdoms Alliance has taken root these past two years, but cohesive collaboration is not easy."
Some sects are tempted by the power of Bihai Palace and wish to stay, while others, like the Profound Sound Pavilion—
Rumors had it the Profound Sound Pavilion had the weakest power within the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, with unfair distribution of benefits.
"In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, strength ultimately matters, regardless of major sects."
Lin Chang’an shook his head, knowing it’s not his place to manage these affairs.
This time, he attended the market event intending to purchase high-level spiritual brush and pill furnace, and if possible, a flying spiritual artifact.
"An ordinary Tier Two Upper Grade Talisman Master, maintaining cultivation without affecting production, earns over thirty middle-grade spirit stones a month, nearly four hundred a year."
His eyes flashed; this is equivalent to a cultivator with Tier Two Upper Grade craftsmanship, earning enough for a typical spiritual artifact within a year.
While he earns ten times as much.
