Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Chapter 792: Chapter 376: Sealing Demon Altar, Deadly Aurora

The auction concluded, and Lin Chang’an reaped bountiful rewards.

This made him silently reflect with emotion, as many rare items appeared so easily in Sea Abyss City.

In the following days, he procured some cultivation materials in Sea Abyss City and learned a lot of insider information from Master Tan.

Finally, half a month later, Lin Chang’an looked at his bulging storage bag and his depleted spirit stones in silence, then had no choice but to turn and ride away on the Cyan-Horned Bull.

"Although I’ve exposed quite a bit of wealth this time, being a Tier Three Upper Grade Array Master with so many business dealings on Bibo Island...

If I didn’t have some foundation, how could I cultivate so quickly? Therefore, exposing my wealth this time isn’t a big issue."

Semi-seated on the bull’s back, Lin Chang’an squinted and pondered if there were any omissions during this trip to Sea Abyss City.

However, fortunately, the biggest issue was merely exposing his wealth.

Yet, this wealth of his is insignificant in the eyes of Nascent Soul Cultivators.

And among Core Formation Cultivators, he now has the capability to manage it with his strength.

"Ling’Er, what do you feel after consuming the spirit pearl?"

Curious about the spiritual object he purchased for the sword servant, which cost him nearly four hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but ask.

And the sword servant behind him couldn’t help but sense the situation within their body.

"Master, it seems the effect isn’t significant."

Yet, upon hearing this, Lin Chang’an chuckled softly.

"The nurturing of a spiritual object relies on gradual accumulation over time, no need to rush."

If the effect were truly so quick, it wouldn’t even appear in an auction; Nascent Soul Cultivators would likely intervene.

Sitting on the bull’s back, Lin Chang’an slowly extracted a few significant items he acquired on this trip.

Tier Three Upper Grade Wind Attribute Demon Core, Nascent Soul Insights, a quasi-Tier Four Elixir, and a jade scroll entrusted to him by Master Tan before leaving.

"With this wind attribute demon core, I can enhance the power of the Four Symbols Dragon Scale Armor, and it’s best to save this quasi-Tier Four Elixir for a time when my cultivation stagnates at a bottleneck."

Lost in contemplation, Lin Chang’an finally turned his gaze to the jade scroll.

This jade scroll contains detailed information about the dangers within the secret realm and a set of five-element breaking restriction techniques.

"Five Elements Breaking Restriction Technique, no wonder the Sixth Elder needs five Tier Three Upper Grade Array Masters."

Looking at this array-breaking secret technique, Lin Chang’an realized suddenly.

This technique was his reward for meeting the requirements.

"If I hadn’t reached Tier Three Upper Grade Array Master, I would probably have to sell myself to Bihai Palace in the future."

Lin Chang’an understood well that the benefits from a Nascent Soul Cultivator are not given lightly.

The Cyan-Horned Bull galloped through the clouds, indulging in contented low mooing, which also startled the Phoenix Cry Bird within the spirit beast bag.

"Alright, I’ll let you out, but you must not reveal your aura."

Embracing the rare relaxation, Lin Chang’an chuckled and, under his divine sense control, released the Phoenix Cry Bird from the spirit beast bag.

Transformed to the size of a palm, the Phoenix Cry Bird circled around the Cyan-Horned Bull before landing on Lin Chang’an’s shoulder.

"Master, I’ve been cooped up for so long. What kind of bird stays in an earthy hole every day?"

The Phoenix Cry Bird’s resentful tone made Lin Chang’an burst into laughter as he teased:

"Go ahead, reveal your aura and fly if you want. If anyone finds you, don’t say I’m your owner. I’m sure the Old Ghost of the Black Abyss would be just thrilled to find you."

The previously bold Phoenix Cry Bird shrank its neck upon hearing about a Nascent Soul Cultivator watching it. Although a bit guilty, it still said defiantly:

"Just wait, once I break through to Tier Four, let’s see who dares to watch me then."

At this moment, the Cyan-Horned Bull snorted, its deep sound clearly intending to mock the Phoenix Cry Bird.

Seemingly saying, "You sneaky bird, get to Tier Three Late Stage first."

"Gluttonous stupid bull!"

The Phoenix Cry Bird glared and then ignored the Cyan-Horned Bull, instead fixing its gaze greedily on its owner’s storage bag.

How could Lin Chang’an not understand the Phoenix Cry Bird’s devious intentions? He remarked with mild exasperation:

"Don’t even think about it. Just this one quasi-Tier Four Elixir. You wouldn’t want your master’s lack of strength to cause you to harm yourself at your next breakthrough, would you?"

In this begrudging tone, Lin Chang’an’s words reminded the Phoenix Cry Bird of its last evolution and breakthrough, causing its feathers to bristle a little.

Then the Phoenix Cry Bird quickly shook its head, adopting a placating tone: "Master, what are you saying? I’m just concerned that keeping your elixir in an ordinary storage bag isn’t too safe."

This bird was very cunning, and this relaxed scene made the sword servant beside them reveal a rare, relaxed smile.

Meanwhile, Lin Chang’an lowered his head to examine the jade scroll’s introduction to the secret realm.

It must be significant since the Sixth Elder of the Bihai Palace personally bestowed it.

Indeed, after a careful inspection, Lin Chang’an found the scroll contained comprehensive information on the secret realm within, including detailed guidance on handling and avoiding crises.

"This jade scroll of the secret realm is likely a rare treasure among ordinary factions."

However, reaching the end of the scroll, Lin Chang’an’s expression turned serious at its final introduction to the secret realm.

"This secret realm suppresses a Sealing Demon Altar, and each time the realm opens, it leaks some demonic qi, leading to chaos in the Demon Beast Abyss..."

Demonic Qi!

This was his first time seeing such a straightforward record, causing Lin Chang’an to appear grave.

Any cultivator or demon beast tainted by demonic qi gradually becomes demonized, turning into a senseless creature manipulated by desires.
