Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Chapter 780: Chapter 372: Five Dragon Island Market

As for the behavior of killing the chicken to get the eggs, if I don’t take them, someone else might.

...

Half a year later, Celestial Spring Peak.

"Master, of the last two in the Profound Sound Pavilion, one formed a Fake Pill, and the other barely formed a Low Grade Golden Core."

As Lin Chang’an just walked out of the cave residence, the Sword Servant began to report the situation of the past six months respectfully.

He had sensed the fluctuations of Spiritual Energy before, but he was cultivating and did not come out.

Unexpectedly, this was the outcome.

"Seven Core Formation Seeds, two failed, three formed True Pill, two Fake Pills, it’s already quite good."

Regarding this result, Lin Chang’an did not think it was bad, but rather felt it was already quite good.

With this newly built foundation of Core Formation, it wouldn’t be a problem to dominate one area during the times of the Seven Kingdoms.

Now the Profound Sound Pavilion truly has successors.

Counting only those who grew up in the Sect, excluding those like him who joined later, the Profound Sound Pavilion now has six Core Formation Cultivators.

If Lin Chang’an’s side is also included, the Profound Sound Pavilion is already in the top tier among Core Formation Influences.

Not inferior to the Long Family which once dominated Five Dragons Island.

"Sometimes being too strong might not necessarily be good, the Profound Sound Pavilion is already very strong now, which might make others wary in the Seven Kingdoms Alliance."

That’s why Fairy Ni Chang openly mentioned one thing, which is that in the future, Core Formation Cultivators from within the Sect will be arranged to return to the Yue Kingdom to hold the post.

At the same time, she also revealed that she would be going to the Secret Realm.

When one’s cultivation reaches this realm, it’s normal to plan for Nascent Soul Formation.

Unfortunately, in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, there are many in the late stage of Core Formation, but those who can form Nascent Souls are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Forming the Nascent Soul often speaks more to opportunities rather than talent.

For example, comparing Blood Evil Master with True Monarch Lu, or even the Red Fire Old Demon in the Outer Sea, among the three of them, it was Blood Evil Master who had the best talent at the beginning.

Yet, the ones who achieved the position of Nascent Soul True Monarch were the other two.

True Monarch Lu maybe be understandable, as he was very well hidden.

But this Red Fire Old Demon was truly not as good as the Blood Evil Master.

"Those who can cultivate to the late stage of Core Formation are rarely untalented, and the path forward relies more on fortune and opportunity."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang’an shook his head slightly.

"Also, Master, the auction hosted by the Four Seas Commerce Association at the Market, they say two Spiritual Objects were taken by someone in advance."

Before the auction even started, the two most valuable Spiritual Objects were taken.

Hearing this, Lin Chang’an showed a mocking smile.

"I anticipated that the Four Seas Commerce Association wouldn’t let these treasures fall into our hands, but I didn’t expect it to happen so quickly."

Before, Fairy Ni Chang had collected materials with him to refine the Tier Three Upper Grade Elixir to advance cultivation, only lacking this main ingredient, but now it’s gone.

It’s obvious that the Four Seas Commerce Association doesn’t want the strength of the Profound Sound Pavilion to grow.

"By the way, Master, recently quite a few external forces have infiltrated the Five Dragons Island Sea Region, seemingly looking for someone, led by a Core Formation Cultivator from the Red Fire Sect.

And these two Spiritual Objects, the Four Seas Commerce Association publicly stated, were taken by the cultivators of the Red Fire Sect."

As the Sword Servant reported, four escape lights flew outside the cave residence.

The arrivals were none other than Fairy Ni Chang, the Sect Leader of the Profound Sound Pavilion, and the three newly formed Core Formation Cultivators of the Sect, namely the sisters Zhao Lingyue and Zhao Lingxing, and a male cultivator.

"Greetings to Elder Lin!"

Upon landing, the three newly formed Core Formation Cultivators respectfully greeted Lin Chang’an.

Lin Chang’an also smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "As fellow Core Formation Cultivators, let’s address each other as fellow Daoists in the future."

However, the three nodded humbly but still showed respect in their words and actions, and the form of address did not change.

The three experienced excitement after forming their cores and then came to understand the differences among Core Formation Cultivators.

Fairy Ni Chang, before they came, had earnestly reminded them of the hierarchy among Core Formation Cultivators.

So, the three naturally weren’t foolish, especially the sisters Zhao Lingyue and Zhao Lingxing, who were as respectful as when they faced Lin Chang’an as Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Fairy Ni Chang nodded with satisfaction at this point, as the benefit of the current turbulent situation is that it clearly lets these new Core Formation Cultivators understand the relationships of power.

Rather than being in a small place in the Seven Kingdoms, blindly believing they can dominate after forming their cores.

"Mr. Lin, I’m afraid this time at the auction, we’ll return empty-handed."

Upon the scheduled auction gathering, Lin Chang’an wasn’t surprised by the arrival of the two, yet lightly nodded and said:

"I’ve heard about it already, but what exactly is the situation? Why are so many external forces involved?"

Lin Chang’an frowned. The situation wasn’t calm to begin with, and now even Nascent Soul Influences are involved.

"The exact details are unknown, but there’s a rumor that the Red Fire Sect discovered the relic cave residence of a Nascent Soul Cultivator, but the treasure was taken by someone.

According to the clues, the person either fled to the vicinity of the Five Dragons Island Sea Region or is hiding in the Ghostly Abyss."

Listening to Fairy Ni Chang’s intelligence, Lin Chang’an came to a realization.

"However, whether it’s true or not is unknown, it might even be a deliberate attempt to create chaos. Such tactics have been common in recent years."

Upon analysis, the two could only conclude that the current situation is becoming increasingly chaotic.

"But my suggestion is, whether true or false, it’s best not to get involved."

Although the treasure sounds tempting, who knows if it’s a trap.

Thus, Fairy Ni Chang chose to remain calm and not get involved in this matter.

However, Lin Chang’an shook his head.

"I’m afraid others may not think this way."

Of course, he didn’t want to get involved rashly, since knowing nothing and diving in blindly would be foolhardy.
