Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Five Dragons Island, Duo Bao Tower.

"Greetings, Master He."

The shopkeeper of Duo Bao Tower hastily came out, greeting with a respectful expression.

The black-clad elder, disguised as Lin Chang’an, nodded slightly with a calm demeanor, then was respectfully escorted to the top floor of Duo Bao Tower.

Two female Foundation Establishment Cultivators acted as maids, respectfully entering to set up the Spirit Fruits and Spirit Tea before leaving.

Witnessing this scene, Lin Chang’an sighed inwardly. This is the influence brought by strength.

Unfortunately, he is just a facade now, or rather, maintaining the guise of a Fake Pill Master cannot last long.

Currently, he is only relying on the Divine Sense of the Fake Pill Realm, and forcibly activating the ’Sword Shadow Following Heart Technique’ to temporarily possess the aura of the Fake Pill Realm.

Though it appears effortless, Lin Chang’an is constantly enduring the pain of forced activation, yet he has to display a calm and composed front.

While he was waiting, the shopkeeper from Profound Sound Pavilion finally entered, standing respectfully to the side, and a familiar yet unfamiliar figure appeared.

Upon seeing this person, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but be startled; it was her!

Fairy Ni Chang, a Core Formation Cultivator from the Profound Sound Pavilion, surprisingly, she was also at Five Dragons Island this time he came.

Fairy Ni Chang wore a colorful palace dress, adorned with silk ribbons, with graceful eyebrows and a veiled head, revealing a pair of bright eyes like moonlight.

Under the white veil, her hazy and exquisite features were faintly visible, her unparalleled beauty and ethereal presence could not be hidden.

"Greetings, Mr. He."

Upon receiving the message, Fairy Ni Chang came without a moment’s delay, smiling at the cultivator disguised as Lin Chang’an.

"So it is Fairy Ni Chang, I, too, have long heard of your great name."

The elder disguised as Lin Chang’an rose with a smile and cupped his hands in salute.

Though he is a Fake Pill Cultivator now, superior to the Foundation Establishment Cultivation shopkeeper, in front of this Core Formation Cultivator, he is still a level lower.

After some polite exchanges and being seated, the shopkeeper wisely retreated, leaving the two Core Formation Cultivators to discuss business.

"Fairy Ni Chang, I’ve come to rent a piece of your pavilion’s Spirit Land this time."

Lin Chang’an said with a smile, expressing his intention.

This is the very genius he heard about upon entering the Immortal Cultivation Realm, now sitting in an equal position, making him lament the ways of fate.

Indeed, one must rely on themselves.

"Mr. He, you are too kind."

Fairy Ni Chang also responded with a full smile, her words brimming with warmth.

Normally, True Pill Cultivators wouldn’t regard Fake Pill Cultivators highly, but Profound Sound Pavilion had suffered greatly from years of warfare in Yue Kingdom, depleting much of its Primordial Energy.

Though they have barely established themselves here now, they are already not what they used to be.

Lin Chang’an could naturally discern the intention of wooing and probing.

"Fairy Ni Chang, as a mere Loose Cultivator, I was fortunate to achieve Core Formation yet remain a Fake Pill Cultivator..."

Lin Chang’an said with a wry smile, while feigning envy and disappointment as he looked at her.

This is the genuine sentiment a Fake Pill Cultivator would reveal toward a True Pill Cultivator, just human nature.

Though he, as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, admires a True Pill Cultivator.

This did not cast much doubt in Fairy Ni Chang’s heart, she even nodded slightly, noticing that Mr. He’s aura was unstable, evidently newly entering the Fake Pill Realm.

After some cordial conversation, Fairy Ni Chang didn’t forget to extend an invitation, expressing a desire to have him as an Honored Guest Elder of Profound Sound Pavilion.

Lin Chang’an pondered for a while, appearing tempted but did not outright refuse.

After all, he had a request to ask of her.

"Oh, I almost forgot to ask about the attribute of the Spirit Pet Mr. He is advancing to Tier Three? We still have some suitable Core Formation Spiritual Objects for demon beasts in our pavilion."

"The Spirit Pet I raise is a Fire Attribute demon beast; if your pavilion has Yang, Fire Attribute Core Formation Spiritual Objects, I’d be willing to purchase them."

Lin Chang’an said with a smile, whereas Fairy Ni Chang seemed not surprised upon hearing this.

Despite the majority of demon beasts in the Demon Beast Abyss being of the Water Attribute, many cultivators here do raise Fire Attribute Spirit Pets.

The first reason is that Water Attribute Spirit Pets have weak power in the early stages and low attack strength, even among those of the same realm.

The second reason is this region, adjacent to the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea, has cultivators raising many Fire Attribute Spirit Pets instead.

"How coincidental, our Profound Sound Pavilion actually has a Fire Attribute suitable Core Formation Spiritual Object for demon beasts, which we happened to have just purchased from another fellow cultivator."

Fairy Ni Chang said with a smile, having shed the previous lofty, aloof attitude.

Lin Chang’an thought inwardly, "As if, how could it be such a coincidence, just courteous words to bridge the gap."

Internally, this distinguished Fairy Ni Chang was also feeling weary.

The situation of Profound Sound Pavilion is dire; her master, injured in the Yue Kingdom battlefield, has little life span left.

Profound Sound Pavilion noticeably has two fewer Core Formation Cultivators now; losing just one would surely deal a heavy blow, worsening their standing.

Otherwise, why would a True Pill Cultivator like her be so kindly disposed toward a Fake Pill Cultivator, even personally coming to recruit?

Over the years, this high and lofty Fairy has learned to employ strategy.

Amid the elegant and graceful conversation of Fairy Ni Chang, Lin Chang’an did not show any flaws.

Even though he is a counterfeit Fake Pill Cultivator, he holds remnants of formidable knowledge, from a Golden Core Late Stage Great Perfection Cultivator like Blood Evil Master.

Whether discussing philosophy or the lore and customs of the Demon Beast Abyss, he showed no openings.

Until the shopkeeper again knocked respectfully and entered, placing down two Core Formation Spiritual Objects suitable for demon beasts.
