Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 245 - 144: Hidden Spirit Vein (2)

What Chu Ning learned about talismans from Cyan Creek Sect, for certain specific talismans, he didn’t plan to sell them here.

After all, it’s still too sensitive, and Chu Ning was worried that some hints or clues might slip out.

However, for common talismans like the Basic Lower Grade Flame Talisman, Profound Ice Talisman, and Rejuvenation Talisman, it’s no problem.

As for the more advanced ones, he had other preparations in hand.

These days, through analyzing the Talisman Source, he not only mastered the Talisman Making Technique for Sword Sealing Talisman and Profound Water Spirit Talisman.

He also mastered several other talismans.

Selling these Intermediate Lower Grade talismans might be a bit extravagant, but selling the Basic Middle Grade and Basic Upper Grade Talismans is entirely feasible.

Starting to make a name as a Talisman Master among the Loose Cultivators now would aid his preparation to join the island recruitment in ten days.

Chu Ning arrived at the Loose Cultivator trading area.

He casually found a piece of empty ground, then took out a table, and immediately laid out various talismans from his hand.

At the same time, he set up a sign nearby, listing the prices for various talismans.

He previously scouted the market in Thousand Illusion Island.

He learned that the talisman crafting level throughout Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands is actually not high, with very few Intermediate Talismans.

As for Basic Talismans, they exist, but are priced about twenty percent higher than in Yan Workshop where Chu Ning had been before.

The situation is similar for other magical artifacts and elixirs.

This is probably the downside of not having a Major Sect; skills like Pill Talisman Artifact Array lack systematic training and inheritance, making it quite difficult to cultivate a large number of talents.

The Array, due to the presence of the Cen Family, is an exception.

It’s said the ancestor of the Cen Family once gained inheritance from an Ancient Array, and this family indeed has great Talent in comprehending arrays.

Once Chu Ning displayed the talismans, people soon came forward to inquire and purchase them.

Although Chu Ning’s Talisman Making Technique was acquired through analyzing the Talisman Source, the quality of the talismans crafted was only higher compared to the Spirit Talisman techniques he previously learned.

Moreover, his prices weren’t higher.

Those who came to purchase, once they viewed the talismans, most of them bought them.

"It seems that in the Thousand Islands Competition twenty days later, there won’t be a shortage of people using talismans."

Chu Ning thought to himself, yet he wasn’t afraid, considering his advantage in using talismans.

No one else would use them as generously as he does.

In the next ten days, Chu Ning spent two to three hours each day selling talismans at the Loose Cultivator area.

During the rest of his time, he stayed in the stone chamber of the inn to cultivate, and the days passed quickly.

This day upon leaving the inn, Chu Ning didn’t go back to the talisman selling area.

Instead, he went directly to a large training ground on the southern side of Thousand Illusion Island.

This would be the venue for the Thousand Islands Competition in ten days.

At the same time, various islands in need of recruitment would also start recruiting here in advance.

During this time, Chu Ning had thoroughly absorbed the jade scroll information provided by Chen Wangdao.

Though this place is called Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, in reality, there are only about four or five hundred islands with cultivators residing and practicing.

The remaining islands either lack Spirit Veins.

Or they are occupied by Demon Beasts, unsuitable for cultivators to reside.

And among these islands, they’re not only varied in size, but also hold a vast difference in Spiritual Qi.

Chu Ning had already identified a few targets before, and now entering this training ground, he sought them out by name.

"Our Han River Island is already fully recruited."

"Eighth Layer of Qi Refining, fellow Daoist should have contacted us earlier, we might have considered it then.

Now our Fengpo Island is already fully recruited."

"Full..."

After visiting several islands, Chu Ning’s brow slightly furrowed.

These islands were indeed recruiting, but many already had introductions from cultivators within the island.

Someone like Chu Ning, who had no referrals, found it momentarily difficult to find a suitable place to join.

After wandering around once again, Chu Ning’s gaze flickered.

The islands he previously intended to join had stopped recruiting.

Even those high-ranked large islands he didn’t want to get too involved with before had stopped recruiting at this point.

Only those islands with Tier One Spirit Veins saw him and actively approached.

If Chu Ning, a cultivator at the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining, joined them, they would be extremely welcoming.

However, the small islands with Tier One Spirit Veins couldn’t meet Chu Ning’s cultivation requirements.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist!"

While Chu Ning was hesitating, a voice suddenly sounded.

Chu Ning turned to look and saw a Yellow-robed Cultivator at the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining standing not far from him. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

This cultivator appeared to be in his fifties and, upon meeting Chu Ning’s gaze, immediately cupped his hands and said:

"I am Tian Xiangfei, is fellow Daoist also seeking an island to settle on?

Would you be interested in having a chat with myself and several other fellow Daoists?"

Chu Ning glanced at the other man and shook his head, saying:

"I don’t know you, fellow Daoist; I’m not interested."

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiangfei saw Chu Ning ready to leave and quickly smiled, saying:

"Please wait, fellow Daoist. I see you’ve been here for quite some time without finding a suitable island to join.

I and a few fellow Daoists are in a similar situation, and we intend to form a team to directly seek island qualifications, hoping to invite you to join us."

Originally intending to leave, Chu Ning appeared slightly surprised upon hearing this and glanced at the man.

"Forming a team to seek island qualifications?"

Chu Ning pondered slightly and understood what he meant.

Chen Wangdao had indeed mentioned before, that in the Thousand Islands Struggle, one could not only compete for better island management rights through competitions between islands.
