Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Bibo Island Market.

Lin Chang’an, wearing a bamboo hat, concealed his identity as he entered the famous black market.

After confirming his safety with Old Hu via a sound transmission talisman upon entering, he headed straight for a shop without hesitation.

With the aura of a Fake Pill Cultivator, no one dared to provoke him here easily.

He made his way to a familiar shop where the corpse puppets were awkwardly chopping up Demon Beast Meat.

"Wow, friend, you have quite a lot to sell this time."

The shop owner, Fatty Lei, with his massive, trembling body, smiled instantly when he saw what Lin Chang’an had brought out.

Magical Artifacts, Spiritual Artifacts, and various materials, all of which were picked up by the Phoenix Cry Bird before.

Of course, the talisman treasures and elixirs in this storage bag, which he could use, were not being offered for sale.

"Mr. Lei, these Magical and Spiritual Artifacts are top grade among top grades."

With a hoarse smile, Lin Chang’an took the opportunity to sell these stolen goods before the Long Family could react.

After all, once the Long Family found out, these items would be difficult to sell.

Moreover, Magical and Spiritual Artifacts, unlike elixirs and talismans, couldn’t be used personally without being discovered.

However, to be cautious, he replaced all the elixirs with new bottles and exchanged all talismans for other materials within the market.

"Very well, our shop treats everyone fairly."

Fatty Lei also wore a full smile, having received a substantial haul on the first day of business today.

Normally, black market goods like these would be underpriced, but since the other party was also a Fake Pill Cultivator like him, he offered eighty percent of the price.

Reselling them would net him a twenty percent profit.

"You’re generous, Mr. Lei."

Squinting, Lin Chang’an, pleased with the spirit stone bag he received, bowed and left.

This Fatty Lei didn’t notice anything amiss but instead cheerfully collected the valuable Spiritual and Magical Artifacts.

"Looks like today is a good day."

Fatty Lei, with a beaming face, patted his belly, unable to suppress his laughter.

Meanwhile, the disguised cultivator, Lin Chang’an, left the market after leaving the shop.

He even made a deliberate loop over the sea and then, after another disguise, returned again.

This time he appeared as a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator.

"Friend, your elixir is good, I’ll trade my Tier Two Upper Grade talisman for it."

"Hmm, this Spirit Fruit is nice, I have a near Tier Three talisman here..."

After a half-hour of dealings, Lin Chang’an had cleared out most of the suspicious items from Long Changfeng’s storage bag that could easily leave traces.

He even went out of his way to purchase some Jade Scrolls and used copying techniques to replicate all the opponent’s jade scrolls, then destroyed the originals.

With several repeated entries and exits, he contributed to the market’s revenue.

After all, each entry required a payment of ten Spirit Stones.

...

Meanwhile, in Five Dragons Island, within the Long Family.

With Long Changfeng’s Soul Lamp extinguished, the Long Family was enraged.

Even the Core Formation Late Stage Dragon Island Master was furious, as this was one of his favorite grandsons.

"Find out! Who is so bold as to dare lay hands on my grandson!"

Five Dragons Island was suddenly gripped with tension.

And at this moment, the spirit ship in the Outer Sea had already been seized.

"Spare me, I truly don’t know, it was Elder Li and the others protecting the Young Master, I just..."

The investigation capabilities of the Immortal Cultivation Realm were swift, and Five Dragons Island soon uncovered the full story.

"Chasing an injured, aging Tier Three Demon Beast, and my grandson ends up tragically dead? Elder Li disappeared? The attendant Rong Qing also lost contact...

But why are their Soul Lamps still lit, only my grandson met a tragic end!"

The enraged Dragon Island Master shouted, his mind suddenly filled with numerous conspiracies.

This was a conspiracy against the Long Family.

And a conspiracy against him personally!

"Find them! The ones named Li and Rong Qing, capture them alive for me; I want to see who dares to plot against me!"

"Yes!"

...

As the largest force in the Five Dragons Island Sea Region, the Long Family began investigating swiftly.

Meanwhile, at the Bibo Island Market, the Fake Pill Cultivator Lei reclined comfortably in his shop, relishing the taste of Spirit Tea.

Suddenly, a Spirit Bird landed inside his shop, cawing loudly.

"What big event has occurred now to even alarm Old Hei?"

In the Demon Beast Abyss, it seemed common for incidents to occur at any moment. Fatty Lei wasn’t overly surprised, instead squinting with delight as he accepted the delivery from the Spirit Bird.

First was a Jade Talisman, from which he learned of the significant event that had occurred.

"Tsk tsk, which fierce character dared to enrage the Long family of Five Dragons Island, went as far as to kill their grandson."

As Fatty Lei laughed heartily, upon seeing another Jade Scroll, his smile gradually froze.

As the Jade Scroll opened slowly, its light revealed traces of Magical Artifacts, Spiritual Artifacts, and Talisman Treasures.

Except for the Talisman Treasures, he recognized almost all the Magical and Spiritual Artifacts instantly.

"Damn it! A huge loss!"

The next moment, Fatty Lei hastily leapt up, stomping and cursing.

Even black market goods had their own hierarchy, and those with such prominent origins should only have been acquired for thirty percent at most.

Yet today, he had used eighty percent to purchase them.

"Damn you, Li! You tricked me!"

To Fatty Lei, since the person was a Fake Pill Cultivator, they were likely that Elder Li tributor.
