Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea.

In the central area of an island where Yin energy converges, under the concealment of an array, a loud cry is heard.

A terrifying Phoenix Cry Bird, with wings spanning three zhang, swept through, wiping out all the Yin spirits, with the Tier Three Yin Spirit Beast King letting out a sharp howl of terror.

Unfortunately, under the extreme attributes restraint, the result was a crushing defeat.

[Life Span: 112/286]

[Realm: Foundation Establishment Late Stage (28/100)]

In the distance, at the Yin Vein Spiritual Spring on an island, Lin Chang’an, sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes.

"This Yin Vein Spiritual Spring is really only suitable for cultivators practicing extremely Yin and cold cultivation techniques; otherwise, it’s not suitable for ordinary cultivators."

This is also why despite the rich spiritual energy on so many islands, very few cultivators occupy them.

He can cultivate here thanks to this cultivation technique, using his lifebound spirit plant to absorb the spiritual energy for cultivation boldly.

"But this Profound Water Liquid is really rare."

Lin Chang’an sighed with a shake of his head. Relying on the Tier Three Spirit Pet, Phoenix Cry Bird, he has been hunting Yin spirits and collecting Profound Water Liquid while not forgetting to cultivate.

"It’s been more than half a year, and it seems someone else is taking the blame for this affair."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but show a strange expression.

Last year, when the genius Long Changfeng of Five Dragons Island was killed, the incident caused quite a stir, and he didn’t dare to go back for more than half a year.

But who would have thought that not long ago, it was revealed that Mr. Rong had actually formed a core!

Although it’s a fake pill, it’s still core formation in the end.

In the eyes of the outside world, it appeared that this person greedily seized the core formation spiritual object of Long Changfeng.

"To think Mr. Rong would resort to secretly colluding with Tribulation Cultivators, it seems he was driven to desperation and took the risk to form a core."

Lin Chang’an shook his head. In previous conversations with Mr. Rong, he could sense the firm resolve in his heart.

This person had solid cultivation and remarkable talent. If he progressed steadily and had a good core formation spiritual object, Lin Chang’an believed he could potentially form a true core.

But unfortunately, according to the information gathered from the market, although Mr. Rong formed a fake pill, his appearance aged drastically, indicating he used some forbidden technique.

"The Immortal Cultivation Realm is not lacking in various secret techniques that can increase the chances of breaking through bottlenecks, but they have extremely severe side effects, often at the cost of life span or potential, with severe consequences."

Lin Chang’an shook his head. Unless necessary, no one would form a core like this; the price is simply too high.

"But never mind that; I should plan for my own core formation first."

Previously, Hu Jin had returned, but Lin Chang’an found that cultivating in the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea was faster than on the island, so he didn’t go back.

Lin Chang’an slowly stood up and began to pack his things, not forgetting to call the Phoenix Cry Bird.

In the next moment, with a loud phoenix cry echoing, the majestic Phoenix Cry Bird, three zhang in size, appeared in sight.

It then quickly shrank to the size of the naked eye and landed on his shoulder.

"Master."

Watching as the Phoenix Cry Bird obediently spat out a jade bottle, with a bit of Profound Water Liquid inside, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

"What’s this?"

"Master, on the island a hundred li away, some cultivators came to capture Yin spirits. After being severely injured by the Tier Three Yin Spirit Beast King, when those cultivators fled, I just..."

The Phoenix Cry Bird proudly thumped its chest, saying it was obedient and merely took advantage of the situation.

"You mean to report back to me that this place isn’t safe and incidentally dealt with the Tier Three Yin Spirit Beast King, right?"

Seeing the Phoenix Cry Bird acting all pleasing, rubbing its head against his shoulder, Lin Chang’an was speechless.

However, he did not blame this Phoenix Cry Bird.

A Tier Three Demon Beast was something he couldn’t afford to keep; letting it roam wild was much better, as it could be self-sufficient and even bring him benefits.

However, he knew that his adventures in the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea heavily relied on the Phoenix Cry Bird; going alone would be far too dangerous.

Therefore, he only allowed the Phoenix Cry Bird to patrol within a hundred li radius and report to him if it spotted any human race cultivators.

Moreover, the Phoenix Cry Bird was highly intelligent; at least he hadn’t heard of many Tier Three demon beasts with such intellect.

It hadn’t been long, yet the bird had already learned human tricks and strategies.

Now it could fish in troubled waters, profiting from the disputes of others.

"Go ahead and keep snatching things. See what happens when you evolve next time and my cultivation isn’t enough, resulting in insufficient Evergreen Mana to save you."

Yet Lin Chang’an’s tone, calm and lingering, made the Phoenix Cry Bird fluff up its feathers, its eyes wide open.

Almost forgetting that cultivating too quickly would lead it to face the tribulation of rebirth from the fire.

Its bloodline inheritance made it aware that each evolution would be a tribulation.

But its master’s mana could assist it.

"Master, I have more here."

In the next instant, the Phoenix Cry Bird spat out a Tier Three Yin Spirit Demon Pill, making Lin Chang’an’s eye twitch.

He knew this bird was cunning.

"Remember to clean up battle spoils in the future, and make sure to destroy any suspicious items and traces."

Having received a benefit, Lin Chang’an, with a satisfied smile, didn’t forget to instruct the Phoenix Cry Bird on what to do next.

"Yes, yes!"

The Phoenix Cry Bird nodded its small head, humbly learning from its master’s experience.

Lin Chang’an was quite reassured with the Phoenix Cry Bird, as it had not a trace of demon beast ferocity.

When unable to win, it would flee faster than he could.

Thus, he wasn’t worried about it suffering any losses.

"But you mentioned seeing cultivators capturing Yin spirits?"

Lin Chang’an furrowed his brow, and the Phoenix Cry Bird nodded obediently, describing how the cultivators used a black banner to capture and seal Yin spirits.

"Capturing Yin spirits isn’t unheard of; when that group of Tribulation Cultivators attacked Jade Spirit Island, their methods were quite similar, but it seems to be happening more frequently recently."
