Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

I never expected that Master He would be so adamant about leaving.

Now, she could only hope that Master He would survive.

Even though she hadn’t joined the Profound Sound Pavilion, she had made a good connection, and it also set up an enemy for the Long family of Five Dragons Island.

...

However, Lin Chang’an didn’t want to join the Profound Sound Pavilion.

The treatment offered by the Profound Sound Pavilion was indeed tempting, but it was not an option.

Unfortunately, he was just a sham and couldn’t sustain it; once his fake Fake Pill cultivation was exposed, everything would fall apart.

A mere Loose Cultivator, a Foundation Establishment Late Stage with a Tier Three Spirit Pet?

Who wouldn’t be intrigued by that?

"It’s a pity about the treatment offered by the Profound Sound Pavilion."

After flying out of Five Dragons Island, Lin Chang’an summoned his flying spiritual artifact, a gourd, and began to flee with all his strength.

However, even though his speed was sufficient, it was clear that he was being targeted.

"Damn it, that Tier Three Copper Armor Corpse can track auras; during our previous conversation, the other party already noted my aura."

Frowning, Lin Chang’an glanced back behind him.

He was confident that he could hide his aura and not be discovered.

But in this vast ocean, once he submerged in the water and was discovered, his Tier Three Phoenix Cry Bird Spirit Pet wouldn’t be able to perform to its advantage.

"Bet on the chance of not being discovered?"

Lin Chang’an shook his head secretly; he didn’t want to risk his life on such a gamble.

Besides, it was just a Fake Pill Cultivator.

He could temporarily unleash the power of a Fake Pill Cultivator, and his Spirit Pet Phoenix Cry Bird completely countered the opponent’s Copper Armor Corpse.

It might be possible to fight.

"But since this person is aware that my Spirit Pet counters the Copper Armor Corpse, yet still dares to chase, they must be very confident."

Lin Chang’an, a sham of a Fake Pill Cultivator, even if he could temporarily display the power of a Fake Pill Realm.

He could only fly with magical artifacts, but he truly didn’t know how to fly with Escape Light like a Golden Core Cultivator.

Flying swiftly until he saw a small island, Lin Chang’an hurriedly landed.

The next moment, without hesitation, he buried the Array Disc and Array Flag.

Then he began to restrain his aura, hiding within the array.

At this moment, Lin Chang’an’s eyes flickered, not daring to look up at the sky to observe the tracks of Master Li.

After all, the senses of a Golden Core Cultivator were quite keen, and even if he hid well, some glances could still alert him.

"The Tier Three Array has already been set up, along with the Tier Three Spirit Pet Phoenix Cry Bird. If this person doesn’t discover it, it’ll be fine; if discovered, then we’ll make them stay!"

If possible, he still didn’t want to confront a Fake Pill Cultivator.

...

A brownish-yellow Escape Light flew over.

Though Master Li was usually very arrogant, he was exceptionally cautious when it came to hunting cultivators of the same level.

While flying with Escape Light, he released the Tier Three Copper Armor Corpse, ready to respond to any sudden attacks.

"The aura has vanished!"

Arriving above the sea, Master Li looked gravely around at the surrounding sea area, while the hideous Copper Armor Corpse beside him radiated terrifying corpse energy.

Its pair of ruthless, emotionless corpse eyes scanned the surroundings, its mouth and nose exhaling a foul stench of corpse energy, searching for an aura.

"Mr. He is indeed cautious, hiding so well."

Still finding no trace, Master Li sneered, calmly floating in mid-air as he shouted loudly.

"What skill, Daoist friend. Able to evade the aura search of my Copper Armor Corpse. But I wonder, if another Core Formation Cultivator arrives later, how long can you keep hiding?"

Just then, a flash of aura momentarily flickered on a distant island, instantly causing the Copper Armor Corpse to emit a bloodthirsty roar.

"Found you!"

Master Li laughed heartily, instantly turning into Escape Light with the Copper Armor Corpse, flying away.

This brief, unstable aura leak was, naturally, intentional by Lin Chang’an.

He didn’t dare gamble on the truth of what Master Li said.

It was better to show a flaw, quickly kill or defeat the opponent, then escape himself.

"Mr. He, so stubborn, you are destined for this calamity!"

Master Li laughed, raising his hand as a brownish-yellow Four-sided Seal struck forth.

On the island, two skyward Sword Auras burst forth.

"Sword Cultivator!"

Feeling the surging Sword Intent, Master Li’s expression turned grim. Sword Cultivators had attack power that rivaled Body Cultivators within the same tier.

"Mr. Li, do you really intend to fight to the death with me!"

Pretending as Master He, Lin Chang’an shouted angrily, forcibly operating his Cultivation Technique, as two immense Sword Intents erupted with an exceedingly terrifying aura.

"Mr. He, you’ve misunderstood. I merely wish to invite you to the Long Family on Five Dragons Island for a discussion."

Damn it!

Without hesitation, Lin Chang’an unleashed two dazzling sword gleams into the sky.

Go to the Long Family? That’s no different from walking into a death trap.

If it’s revealed that he’s just a fake Core Formation cultivator, his tier-three spirit pet won’t be able to protect him, and even his secrets might be exposed.

"Mr. He, are you out of your mind!"

Master Li was both shocked and angered. How could this He guy be so reckless from the start?

Usually, when he encountered such opponents, this was the typical pattern. At the very least, the other party wouldn’t dare to easily offend the Long Family.

Who would have thought he would start off so recklessly?

A terrifying sword gleam suddenly erupted, directly colliding with the earthy-yellow great seal, shattering the sword gleam instantly.

Although the power of this sword gleam was comparable to an attack from a fake Core Formation cultivator, it was still different from a true magical treasure.

However, the second sword gleam had already arrived in front of Master Li.

Master Li remained calm and shouted coldly, "Stubborn! Since you’re so clueless, why not feed your essence blood to my spirit pet?"

The tier-three copper-armored corpse roared and charged at the sword gleam in an instant.

With terrifying claws, it struck the sword gleam, sending it flying.

This scene left Lin Chang’an startled, as it was his first battle against a fake Core Formation cultivator.

Indeed, this was not an opponent to compare with those before.

"Roar!"

The corpse’s roar echoed through the sky as the tier-three copper-armored corpse lunged forward.

Lin Chang’an feigned a look of panic, and with a pat on the spirit beast bag, the massive silhouette of the Phoenix Cry Bird appeared.

"Ha ha, friend, this tier-three Fire Attribute demon beast of yours, I’m taking its demon core!"

For some reason, Master Li faced the elemental counteraction with a confident smile and charged straight in.

Meanwhile, Lin Chang’an’s expression turned cold, smiling slyly. That corpse pill caught his eye as well.

It wouldn’t be difficult to trade it for a Core Formation spiritual object or a tier-three Wood Attribute demon pill.

Blood Evil Red Sun Array·Start

As Lin Chang’an executed a magic technique, a fiery red barrier instantly enveloped the island.

This caused Master Li to show a hint of heaviness in his expression.

"You loose cultivator, how do you possess a tier-three array!"

For a loose cultivator at the fake Core Formation level, possessing even a single magical treasure is rare, let alone an array.

Especially someone like Lin Chang’an, whose aura was unstable and had evidently just recently formed his core.

It was unexpected for Master Li, but rather than panic, he grew serious, suspecting the opponent was hiding their true identity.

"I do not know your origins, but perhaps you have ties with us at Five Dragons Island. This might all be a misunderstanding."

Cautiously, Master Li thought it best to thoroughly ascertain the opponent’s background.

"Ha ha, Mr. Li, you’re such a joker. Since you dared to hunt me, why not stay?"

Lin Chang’an shouted with bravado. At this point, he wouldn’t give the opponent a chance to delay.

With full power unleashed, the array exploded with maximum force.

Evil energy filled the barrier, and the terrifying Fire Attribute spiritual energy became exceedingly dense.

Seeing this array also startled Master Li, as the array contained such dreadful evil energy that it clearly had backing.

After all, the array’s evil energy wasn’t something accumulated overnight.

However, unbeknownst to the opponent, Lin Chang’an had eliminated countless Yin spirits over the years through this array, and the array disc and array flags had absorbed a substantial amount of evil energy.

Since the array was the ’Blood Evil Red Sun Array,’ the denser the evil energy, the fiercer it became.

Moreover, the main array disc belonged to the late Golden Core Blood Evil Master.

"May you find peace, friend!"

Over the years, besides the battle with the tier-three Yin Spirit Yaksha, he had never pushed this array to its full potential.

Nine quasi-tier-three Fire-Devouring Demon Spirits materialized within the array, madly attacking Master Li.

"Ha ha, knowing you have a tier-three Fire Attribute demon beast, how could Mr. Li not be prepared?"

Master Li laughed, and amidst the fierce exchange with the Phoenix Cry Bird, the tier-three copper-armored corpse suddenly bellowed, producing a water-attributed bead from its mouth.

"Water Attribute magical treasure!"

Seeing this, Lin Chang’an was taken aback. No wonder the man had such confidence.

The next moment, a water curtain shield manifested around the tier-three copper-armored corpse, completely isolating the restraining fiery flames.

With the magical treasure’s assistance, the tier-three copper-armored corpse gave a bloodthirsty roar, clearly viewing the Phoenix Cry Bird as prey.

"Courting death!"

Lin Chang’an sneered. An ordinary tier-three Fire Attribute spirit beast might be problematic.

But unfortunately, his Phoenix Cry Bird was no ordinary beast.
