Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 47: Supreme Realm Longevity Skill

Outside the market, within a dim forest.

"Hehe, how does Foundation Establishment feel?"

As a shadow appeared, Ghost Three Blades showed a grateful expression:

"Thank you for helping me with Foundation Establishment, but I have lost everything. Now I only want Huang Yuntian to live a life worse than death!"

The shadow shook its head with a mocking smile; people burdened with deep hatred are the most useful, as they truly are desperate.

"Master, my life is worthless, and all I desire is revenge for my wife and child, to see Li Huo Palace crumbling!"

Ghost Three Blades was once a renowned late-stage Qi Refining Great Cultivator, who planned for years and went through life and death, finally obtaining the core materials only to be targeted by Huang Yuntian of Li Huo Palace.

Under pressure and coercion, he could only grit his teeth and ultimately bow before the great power of Li Huo Palace, harboring resentment and prayer for Huang Yuntian’s failure in Foundation Establishment.

But fate was unkind, and Huang Yuntian, a vile man, succeeded in Foundation Establishment, further destroying his family. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Thinking of his once happy family, now left with only his wretched self, Ghost Three Blades couldn’t help clenching his teeth.

"Good, very good."

Seeing Ghost Three Blade completely consumed by revenge, the black-robed Demon Cultivator revealed a bloodthirsty smile.

"Take this elixir, and I’ll teach you a secret technique to absorb cultivators’ essence blood to recover mana injuries. Whether you can avenge yourself depends on your abilities now."

Ghost Three Blades knew he was being used, and the elixir could control his fate at any time, but so be it.

"Thank you, master."

Without hesitation, Ghost Three Blades swallowed the elixir.

Once Ghost Three Blades disappeared, the black-robed Demon Cultivator revealed a pale face and laughed hoarsely:

"Hehe, he’s just too old; otherwise, he would’ve made a good dog indeed, a pity."

...

Within the market.

"This Huang Yuntian is quite extraordinary, not only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator of Li Huo Palace, but also a descendant of the Huang Ancestor."

"Huang Ancestor! He’s one of Li Huo Palace’s three Golden Core Elders; why would he covet a loose cultivator’s Foundation Establishment resources?"

"What do you know? Who wouldn’t want more Foundation Establishment Pills, especially with so many in the Huang Family? Huang Yuntian is also a notorious philanderer; imagine how many Pills he wasted."

"It’s infuriating! Compared to Major Sect disciples, we loose cultivators are really struggling."

"Hmph, without connections, how would Huang Yuntian have gotten the news? Isn’t it because the Alchemist was also from Li Huo Palace, and they’re all in cahoots?"

The market was abuzz with countless cultivators whispering, digging up stories of Ghost Three Blades.

Especially knowing that Huang Yuntian persecuted Ghost Three Blades’ family after Foundation Establishment, the sentiment is obvious.

Amidst the commotion, True Treasure Tower, Li Huo Palace’s base here.

"Father, that scoundrel is despicable, daring to threaten our Huang Family; truly asking for death."

Huang Shaohai, the son of Huang Yuntian, said angrily.

However, sitting on the top, Foundation Establishment Cultivator Huang Yuntian snorted coldly with a sinister gleam in his eyes.

"Shut up, things are chaotic outside. What you should be doing is cultivating well to achieve Foundation Establishment within ten years, not bothering with that chamber of commerce."

Huang Shaohai was somewhat dissatisfied, "Father, I am working on the chamber of commerce to prepare for Foundation Establishment."

"Foundation Establishment!? Don’t think I don’t know; you’re using it as a cover to secretly engage in Furnace harvesting; be careful not to cause trouble."

For this son, Huang Yuntian felt exasperated, like casting iron without becoming steel; it was unfortunate indeed.

However, faced with his father, Huang Shaohai was not afraid at all; instead, a hint of greed appeared in his eyes, testing the waters:

"Father, I believe that by harvesting a Foundation Establishment Female Cultivator, my cultivation will perfect, making Foundation Establishment easy."

As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. Seeing his son’s lecherous expression, Huang Yuntian knew how bold he was, angrily rebuking:

"Shut up! Yun Yao is the Ancestor’s direct disciple; how dare you harbor such thoughts!"

Recalling Yun Yao’s exquisite form, Huang Yuntian felt a shiver down his spine; she was secretly cultivated by the Ancestor for alchemy, not even he dared to entertain such thoughts, and yet this son was so audacious.

However, only a few in the Huang Family knew of this matter.

"Father!"

Huang Shaohai was still reluctant, his father was a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator; couldn’t he help bind a female cultivator at the initial stage?

"Shut up, I don’t care about that chamber of commerce; I only tell you that should you dare covet Yun Yao, be wary the Ancestor wouldn’t spare you!"

After a harsh reprimand, Huang Yuntian felt helpless; having a son too much like himself wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

Trying to harvest a Foundation Establishment Female Cultivator, such audacity; he himself hadn’t dared to be so bold.

Huang Shaohai felt stifled, but the thought of his Ancestor’s icy gaze made him shiver.

Within the vast Huang Family, he was just one among many descendants.

"Fine, I’ll only target loose cultivators at the Qi Refining Stage."

Upon hearing this, although Huang Yuntian’s face darkened, he did not rebuke, for targeting some loose cultivators in the market was no issue.

...

Outside, the situation grew increasingly turbulent, either another Foundation Establishment Cultivator appearing or a Tribulation Cultivator killing a Sect disciple, quickly escaping to seek Foundation Establishment, all in all, chaos!

And the reason for the frontline war, instead, led Cyan Bamboo Mountain Market to grow more prosperous.

After all, not only was the area at the rear, but it was also next to Cloud Mist Mountain Range, an inexhaustible treasure trove.

Countless cultivators hunted demon beasts, exchanging them for resources.

Yet, outside turmoil could not disrupt Lin Chang’an’s daily life.

Time flew by, half a year had passed in the blink of an eye.

[Cultivation Technique: Chang Chun Skill +1 (Supreme)]

At this time, Lin Chang’an fell into a kind of enlightenment, after half an incense stick of time, he slowly opened his eyes, revealing an expression of realization.

"So there is a level above the Perfect Realm."

If Perfect Realm was achieving the creator’s level of insight, then the Supreme Realm is akin to the Daoist concept of the unity of Tao and heaven and earth.

"To put it bluntly, Supreme Realm equates to my understanding of Chang Chun Skill surpassing the creator."

Muttering to himself, Lin Chang’an could clearly feel the Chang Chun Skill’s mana within him more harmonious, along with greater control power.

Even when operating the technique, he could noticeably perceive it was three times faster, improving spell casting speed.

More importantly, after subtle adjustments, there was a perfect fit with the body and a harmonious alignment with the environment.

"So this is the Supreme Realm!" Even his senses had become considerably sharper.

Unexpectedly, the first technique he cultivated to the Supreme Realm was not the Wood Spirit Spike, but rather the Chang Chun Skill’s insight.

"Chang Chun Skill, despite being a Qi Refining Basic Technique, is equally profound."

Lin Chang’an came to understand, slowly set down the jade scroll in his hand; his bookshelf in the secret chamber held over a hundred jade scrolls.

This facilitated the rapid progress in understanding the Chang Chun Skill.

Twenty-seven of them were annotations on the Chang Chun Skill, while others were annotations and interpretations of various techniques.

This was also thanks to the war, prompting the Three Major Sects to open basic cultivation resources to the public; with a little Spirit Stone, one could purchase them.

"These basic techniques may not be as powerful as those of great clans and sects early on, but later deep comprehension can equal their merit, importantly with a solid foundation."

By continuously understanding various technique traits, cross-referencing insights, Lin Chang’an reached today.

"A solid foundation and achieving great things with time, the Chang Chun Skill is remarkably profound."

At this point, Lin Chang’an felt like he had discovered a treasure mountain, displaying a smile.

This might be considered another of his talents; compared to the world’s cultivators, he maintained a fresh curiosity in cultivation.

This is why he could persist, endlessly perusing numerous dry technique annotations and cultivation experiences without losing interest.

Most cultivators learn techniques merely to know them, while most of their efforts are devoted to cultivation, not deeply pondering technique insights.
