Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Chapter 766: Chapter 368: Meng Family’s Response, Two Women Meet (2)

As well as the Zhou Family vaguely siding with him.

He and Fairy Ni Chang have a good relationship, but business is business.

This is something Lin Chang’an can understand. From the sect’s perspective, he would make the same choice.

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, it has happened before that a perfectly fine sect was overrun by a family, the most typical being the Huang Family of the Li Huo Palace.

Calling it a sect is less fitting than saying it’s a sect that serves the Huang Family.

"Core Formation Spiritual Objects, their prices have recently doubled."

Lin Chang’an thought to himself that over the years, relying on the Yin Spirit Beast King, the Two-Headed Tiger, he had frequently hunted Yin Spirits in the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea, naturally acquiring a decent amount of Core Formation Spiritual Objects and Profound Water Liquid.

Accumulating bit by bit, although he had sold quite a few before, he still had a considerable stock left now.

The Core Formation Spiritual Object, previously valued at around fifty thousand middle-grade spirit stones, now surged to nearly eighty thousand.

"The Core Formation Spiritual Object is a highly sought-after item for the major forces these days."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang’an revealed a thoughtful expression.

It’s a good opportunity, and the excuse is simple; weren’t the cultivators who sold spiritual ore before a group of cultivators who continually hunted the Yin Spirit Beast King?

This group holds back the excavation of the spiritual ore, clearly showing they have neither family nor sect backing.

And in the Yin Vein Land where the Yin Spirit Beast King resides, Profound Water Liquid is born.

The Profound Water Liquid in their hands is waiting to be sold at a good price.

A perfect closed loop.

"It seems in a while, I should have a good discussion with Mr. Ni Chang."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but smile.

Moreover, after the recent battle with Madam Meng, he has gained a clear understanding and positioning of his own strength.

With the Magic, Body, and Spirit Three Cultivations, even without external assistance, his strength is no less than an ordinary Core Formation Late Stage cultivator.

Someone unaware of his powerful body and spirit cultivation might easily be overturned if careless.

In terms of magical treasures, he now is not inferior to the Nascent Soul seed of these great forces, along with hidden trump cards like the Phoenix Cry Bird and the Cyan-Horned Bull.

Even with support such as arrays, ordinary Core Formation Late Stage cultivators wouldn’t have the chance to escape from his hands.

"Before I knew it, my strength now is among the top below Nascent Soul cultivators."

As for being the number one below Nascent Soul, Lin Chang’an didn’t even consider it.

This Immortal Cultivation Realm is vast, with disciples from some well-established sects. The ancient treasures he painstakingly repaired might not be rare among these Nascent Soul seeds.

Some among them might even possess life-saving methods bestowed by Nascent Soul cultivators, which are hurdles he cannot easily surpass.

...

The fall of Madam Meng, under normal circumstances, the death of a Peak of Core Formation Late Stage cultivator would be a major event.

But now, with the continuous turmoil in the Outer Sea, one significant event follows another, quickly overshadowed by other incidents.

Bibo Island, the Meng Family.

"Young...Patriarch, what should we do now?"

An elder wanted to address him as Young Master, but remembering Madam Meng had fallen, and Meng Xinghai is now the patriarch, corrected himself.

Another elder, full of worry, knew his average talent meant he’d never surpass Core Formation Middle Stage in his lifetime.

"Patriarch, although True Monarch Lu promised protection, distant water can’t quench present thirst. In the end, we are still outsiders.

Lately, the market’s industries have been quite bleak, and many families and merchants that once respected the former patriarch and patriarch’s wife’s connections are now liaising with the Seven Kingdoms Alliance..."

In short, the Meng Family’s industry has been struggling lately.

Nevertheless, Meng Xinghai listened intently to the elders, feeling the heavy burden on his shoulders now that he had lost his reliance.

However, his heart was extraordinarily calm.

"Why panic? Haven’t we accumulated enough over these hundreds of years? This is just a small turbulence; the family’s accumulations can certainly weather the storm."

The Meng Family appears to have suffered significant losses, but in reality, his parents’ lifespan was nearing the end, something expected.

It just happened sooner than expected, leaving him without enough time to reach Core Formation Late Stage.

In reality, the Meng Family’s strength isn’t that much weaker. Two are at Core Formation Middle Stage, and two are at Core Formation Early Stage.

The Meng Family, with its four Core Formation cultivators, compared to any sect or large family of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, only the Profound Sound Pavilion can overshadow them.

Even given his age and potential, it’s only a matter of time before he breaks through to Core Formation Late Stage.

"Arrange manpower to make friendly business connections with the Seven Kingdoms Alliance; this is also what Master Lu hopes to see, and the Seven Kingdoms Alliance won’t refuse such mutual benefits."

"Also, I’ve heard the Profound Sound Pavilion has been collecting Core Formation Spiritual Objects recently; send someone to visit, even regarding the Secret Realm Fragments rumored outside..."

Upon hearing Meng Xinghai’s words, an elder’s face drastically changed, interrupting immediately.

"Patriarch, this is the opportunity left by the former patriarch for the rise of the Meng Family!"

Yet Meng Xinghai remained silent for a while and finally sighed and waved his hand:

"If we declare now that the Meng Family doesn’t have it, no one will believe it. Since outsiders believe it, let us openly plot for the greatest benefit."

"Tell Sect Master Ni Chang that my Meng Family possesses absolute sincerity, and regarding the Secret Realm Fragments, if willing to become my Dao Companion, the opportunities of the Secret Realm can be shared."

This time, Meng Xinghai showed genuine sincerity, unlike before when he harbored greedy intentions of exploiting.
