Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 61: Master Lu, the Black Tortoise
One year later.
[Golden Light Talisman (Perfect 2/10000)]
[Fire Bomb Talisman (Perfect 1/10000)]
"It’s finally done!"
Inside the Cultivation Room, Lin Chang’an looked at the talismans glowing with Spiritual Light on the table and couldn’t help but show a satisfied smile.
Tier One fine high-grade talismans, finally after a year of diligent cultivation, he broke through to this realm.
"It wasn’t in vain spending the Tier Two talisman paper and cinnabar this past year."
Thinking of this, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but feel a bit distressed. In order to quickly enhance his skills, he used quite a lot of Tier Two talisman paper and cinnabar.
If it weren’t for the visible improvement in proficiency, he wouldn’t have persisted.
"Now I have talismans, magical artifacts, elixirs, and even Cultivation Techniques after Foundation Establishment; I just need to advance my cultivation further, then prepare for the main materials for Foundation Establishment."
At fifty-one years old, Lin Chang’an felt a surge of excitement at the thought of Foundation Establishment.
This was also because the Golden Finger awakened late; had it been sooner, he would have established the foundation long ago without such urgency.
[Realm: Qi Refining Eighth Layer (43/100)]
Looking at his cultivation level, Lin Chang’an nodded quietly; in a year and a half, he could certainly break through to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, achieving Qi Refining Great Perfection before fifty-five.
Everything is going well.
Since defeating the Wang Family’s remnants a year ago, although the two Major Sects still had bounty orders, it was evident that nobody knew about it, giving him a sigh of relief.
After all, without Foundation Establishment, it’s never secure; he didn’t want to end up like the Wang Family’s remnants, letting this ancient opportunity slip away.
...
"Brother Lin, something major has happened."
After Lin Chang’an came out, Shen Lie said excitedly about the major events that happened.
"The Ancient Secret Realm found this time is a high-tier Spirit Vein, enough for several Golden Core cultivators to cultivate. Li Huo Palace and Profound Sound Pavilion have been fighting for over a year, and it finally has come to a conclusion."
"Brother Lin, you wouldn’t believe it, to reverse the decline, Li Huo Palace and Profound Sound Pavilion have invited the legendary rogue cultivator, Master Lu, from a hundred years ago."
Listening to Shen Lie’s words, Lin Chang’an was dumbfounded; he didn’t expect this outcome.
"Do you mean the legendary rogue cultivator, Master Lu, who became a Golden Core cultivator a hundred years ago, hailed as the top rogue cultivator of Yue Kingdom?"
In astonishment, Lin Chang’an thought of this legendary loose cultivator, who he grew up hearing stories of as he entered the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
"Precisely Master Lu!"
Shen Lie said excitedly, a hint of admiration showing on his face.
In the entire Yue Kingdom and even nearby countries, Master Lu is the idol worshipped and chased after by rogue cultivators.
"To think it’s this Golden Core powerhouse."
Lin Chang’an felt somewhat excited, not for this person, but for the finally stable trend in the current chaotic situation.
"Two hundred years ago, he had already reached Core Formation; now his cultivation must be more unfathomable."
"Indeed!" Shen Lie exclaimed excitedly:
"Master Lu is not only at the middle-stage Core Formation himself, but his Spirit Pet, the Profound Water Turtle, is rumored to be late-stage Tier Three."
Goodness gracious!
A late-stage Tier Three Spirit Beast is equivalent to a late-stage Golden Core Great Cultivator.
Hearing this, Lin Chang’an was astonished. This figure was a loose cultivator coming all the way, rumored to possess a low-grade Spirit Root, and upon obtaining an ancient opportunity, rose swiftly.
The most famous is his spirit pet, the Profound Water Turtle; it’s well known that Demon Beasts are inherently powerful, and it’s now late-stage Tier Three.
Adding its middle-stage Core Formation cultivation, if this person indeed arrives, wouldn’t Li Huo Palace and Profound Sound Pavilion fear the difficulty of both inviting gods and sending them away?
"Brother Shen, aren’t these two Major Sects afraid of trouble?"
The Immortal Cultivation Realm has always been the survival of the fittest; Master Lu’s strength makes Lin Chang’an still suspect some underlying issues.
"Actually, it’s nothing."
Shen Lie shook his head and sighed, seemingly a bit emotionally down.
"Master Lu, it’s heard that his life span is less than a hundred years, now merely returning home in glory, aiming for Yue Kingdom’s peace as a path for us loose cultivators. This newly built Immortal Cultivation City, named Celestial Profound City, will welcome, besides Master Lu, a Golden Core cultivator from Li Huo Palace and Profound Sound Pavilion."
At that time, three Golden Core cultivators will oversee the city declared as the Independent Practitioner Sacred Land, with countless Spirit Vein Cave Mansions open to cultivators worldwide for cultivation."
Independent Practitioner Sacred Land!
Upon hearing this, Lin Chang’an thought to himself, it seems Li Huo Palace and Profound Sound Pavilion were unable to resolve previous conflicts due to the Secret Realm struggle, and the forceful presence of Divine Sword Sect showed unstoppable momentum.
They had no choice but to bring in an external aid; it appears they invited a great powerhouse, but with less than a century of lifespan, and a loose cultivator, at most just a few disciples under him, how much resources can he hold?
Instead, it offers the two Major Sects a chance for nearly a hundred years’ breathing space and development.
This move, the two Major Sects played cleverly.
"Finally, a piece of good news."
After analyzing, Lin Chang’an rarely revealed a smile. This way, the deadlock in Yue Kingdom’s turbulent situation can eventually stabilize.
"Indeed, this news has already spread throughout Yue Kingdom, especially with Master Lu personally declaring he’ll oversee it; it’s imaginable that rogue cultivators throughout Yue Kingdom, and even neighboring countries, will flock here."
In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, each Spirit Vein is highly contested; having discovered a new Spirit Vein naturally attracts countless family forces, not to mention loose cultivators.
Loose cultivators inherently survive in crevices; suddenly having a city for them, how could they not come?
"It seems countless rogue cultivators and families in the market are about to relocate."
As Lin Chang’an nodded quietly, Erniu’s voice came from outside.
"Brother Lin, did you hear? Master Lu who traveled and disappeared for a hundred years has actually returned.
He plans to establish an Independent Cultivator City at the Secret Realm’s Spirit Vein location; the family has already decided to relocate a batch of people, and I’m on the list..."
Pushing the door open, Li Erniu spoke exuberantly, his face glowing with excitement, clearly showing how respected Master Lu is among loose cultivators.
Master Lu, established foundation at seventy years old; his deeds widely spread, initially thought to be transient, but unintentionally stepping into Core Formation Realm a century later, entering Yue Kingdom’s history books of Immortal Cultivation Realm, world-renowned.
Especially for loose cultivators, it’s a complete inspirational story.
"Moving, is it."
Upon hearing this from two individuals, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but gaze at the bustling market, a place transformed through thirty years of Cyan Bamboo Mountain’s changes, is about to be like the calmness of Qingshui Bay?
With places having more abundant spiritual energy, who will remain here, naturally heading towards the newly established Celestial Profound City.
"Brother Lin, Brother Shen, are you going?"
Li Erniu looked at the two expectantly, clearly hoping everyone would go together.
"Erniu, it’s a long journey, with so many cultivators in the market, it’s inevitable to encounter Tribulation Cultivators or Demon Cultivators along the way."
Despite Erniu’s excitement, Lin Chang’an was cautious; sometimes traveling in large groups doesn’t guarantee safety.
More people also means mixed company, and you never know if there are Tribulation Cultivators or Demon Cultivators among the crowd; they only need to create chaos for unfamiliar cultivators, which could lead to a disaster.
But traveling alone is equally risky, easily drawing attention.
"Indeed, Lin’s words are sensible; one shouldn’t be careless at times like this."
Shen Lie nodded gravely; going to the new city is certainly good but shouldn’t be done blindly.
Lin Chang’an, however, in contemplation thought of his Foundation Establishment preparation. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
With Golden Core cultivators overseeing, Celestial Profound City is sure to attract countless loose cultivators.
Naturally to be significantly more prosperous than the current market, allowing easier resource gathering for Foundation Establishment.
And there’s a place with more abundant spiritual energy cultivation grounds, undoubtedly of irresistible allure.
"In the current market, preparing for Foundation Establishment is too difficult."
Lin Chang’an nodded quietly, as the past few years he had collected matters for Foundation Establishment in the market, only to find even some auxiliary spiritual medicines were terribly scarce.
