Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Chapter 790: Chapter 375: The Sixth Elder and the Venomous Jiao’s Scheme

"Thank you, Sixth Elder."

Lin Chang’an hurriedly cupped his hands in gratitude. Had he not come here for the treasures promised by the other party?

"I see your cultivation is quite impressive, already approaching the bottleneck of the late Core Formation stage. As I mentioned before, as long as you can break through to a Tier Three Upper Grade Array Master,

I will bestow upon you one or two protective treasures. Now, what do you desire? Magical treasuries, elixirs, or perhaps secret divine techniques?"

Listening to the other’s generosity, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but feel overjoyed. This trip was certainly not in vain.

Nascent Soul cultivators are indeed generous, or perhaps it’s just that Nascent Soul cultivators and Core Formation are entirely different realms. The treasures he seeks, at most, are considered decent to a Nascent Soul cultivator.

They hardly move one’s heart.

"Reporting to the Sixth Elder, over the years I’ve always remembered Elder’s teachings. The Secret Realm is extremely perilous, and I dare not trouble you, Sixth Elder. I’ve already prepared some protective items for myself.

But, within the Secret Realm, the devilish winds and gales are incredibly strong. I still lack a Wind Attribute Demon Core to refine a protective treasure. This time I also came to inquire at the Baoguang Pavilion about any leads on Wind Attribute Demon Beast nests."

Lin Chang’an respectfully reported, displaying a demeanor of having tirelessly planned over the years for this matter.

The resources he gathered over the years to face the Secret Realm were naturally not hidden, nor was there a need to conceal them.

Hearing this, Master Tan, who was by the side, couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of his eyes. He truly hadn’t expected Mr. Lin’s skill in speaking to be this high.

What does it mean to say you’re not troubling anyone, yet preparing on your own, and with more dedication than even him?

And today, the Sixth Elder was in a rare good mood, and couldn’t help but chuckle lightly while waving his hand:

"A Tier Three Array Master is indeed a rare talent. I certainly do not wish to have one fall before even entering the Secret Realm. Here is my token; take this item and go to the Baoguang Pavilion later to acquire a Tier Three Upper Grade Wind Attribute Demon Core.

Additionally, I will grant you a quasi-fourth tier elixir to enhance your cultivation so that at the late Core Formation stage, you’ll have more means to protect yourself."

What defines a Nascent Soul cultivator? Just look!

This is it!

At this moment, Lin Chang’an was inwardly excited, continuously cupping his hands.

By saying a few pleasant words, he could obtain so many great items; he wanted to say that he could still say more.

However, these were treasures he could only hope to find by chance, yet to a Nascent Soul cultivator, they seemed quite unremarkable.

There wasn’t even an opportunity to flatter Lin Chang’an again, as this Nascent Soul Sixth Elder even bestowed upon him a copy of Nascent Soul insights.

Alongside this, Master Tan, who had come along, also received a quasi-fourth tier elixir to enhance his cultivation.

...

Outside the hall, Lin Chang’an looked back at the interior reluctantly. Had he known that this Nascent Soul Sixth Elder liked to hear flattery, he would have prepared for it well.

He also sighed inwardly, realizing that the external rumors were indeed true.

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, there were always rumors about some Nascent Soul old monsters having extremely eccentric personalities, and sometimes, just because they didn’t like the look of you, they might cut you down.

Some were gluttonous, while another legendary Nascent Soul cultivator, before achieving Nascent Soul Formation, focused solely on arduous cultivation, then after forming his Nascent Soul, founded a family, and took hundreds of female cultivators as concubines in a bid to have children.

Regardless of Qi Refining Stage or Foundation Establishment Stage, as long as one could bear him a child, they would be rewarded. Unfortunately, the higher a cultivator’s cultivation, the lower the chances of producing offspring.

Today’s Nascent Soul Sixth Elder liked to hear nice words, which Lin Chang’an did not find odd.

If it were him, having cultivated for hundreds of years to finally form his Nascent Soul, couldn’t he enjoy some pleasures?

"Mr. Lin, I really owe it to you this time."

Compared to Lin Chang’an, who obtained treasures, Master Tan was more excited about having helped the Sixth Elder achieve such great merit this time.

His elder sister would finally be able to hold her head high one day, and he’d like to see who would dare mock him behind his back in the future.

This elixir would be gifted to his elder sister upon returning. Given his age and talent, his chances of breaking through were minimal, making it better to enhance his sister’s status.

Looking at Master Tan beside him, Lin Chang’an was all smiles and cupped his hands.

"If not for Mr. Tan’s introduction back then, how would I have had such an opportunity? When it comes to gratitude, it should be Lin thanking Mr. Tan."

In high spirits, Master Tan patted his chest and laughed heartily:

"Let’s go, let’s go. I’ll personally take you to the Baoguang Pavilion, and besides, you’re just in luck. The Baoguang Pavilion is holding an auction right now."

Under the night sky, Sea Abyss City was bustling, and Lin Chang’an smiled and nodded.

Though he had been to Sea Abyss City many times, he’d never caught an auction, and even missed a trade fair once.

As for this Master Tan, Lin Chang’an was quite willing to befriend him, at the very least, this one harbored no ill intentions toward him.

On the way to Baoguang Pavilion, Lin Chang’an also communicated with his Sword Servant, taking the opportunity to attend the auction at Baoguang Pavilion together.

...

By the time they arrived at Baoguang, the auction was already halfway through.

However, with the identity jade token from the Sixth Elder, Master Tan proudly led Lin Chang’an and the Sword Servant into a private box.

"Coming up next is a claw from a Tier Three Late Stage Demon Beast, an excellent material for crafting magical treasures. The starting bid is..."

The auction at Baoguang Pavilion was in full swing, with many cultivators fervently eyeing the auction items below.

Inside the box, after Baoguang Pavilion’s maid served spirit tea and spirit fruit, Master Tan began to introduce them to Lin Chang’an.

"Mr. Lin, in recent years, the Outer Sea has been somewhat turbulent, and some families and sects that have taken refuge with our Bihai Palace can participate in our Bihai Palace’s auctions.

Look at the cultivators below with varying cultivation levels. They are actually people from various families and sects responsible for different seas."

"Like us, cultivators of Bihai Palace, once we reach Core Formation, we are rewarded with the main materials for crafting magical treasures and the selection of a Cultivation Technique..."
