Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

"Mr. Lin, are you really planning to leave? Actually, my Lu Family can take care of your cave estate for a while."

Lu Yujian tried to persuade him to stay, but Lin Chang’an just smiled and shook his head.

"Mr. Lu, I’ve been cultivating for a hundred years to get to where I am today, and I really feel some reluctance, so I want to go out into the world to seek some opportunities.

Of course, I’m telling you now, I’ll be leaving in three months after sorting everything out."

Having known each other for so many years and having a good relationship with the Lu Family, he naturally had to let them know before he left.

Especially since it’s Jade Spirit Island, at least give the Lu Family some time to prepare.

"Since that’s the case, then let me first wish Mr. Lin a long and prosperous path in the Immortal Dao."

Seeing that Lin Chang’an was determined to leave, Lu Yujian clasped his hands and offered his regards, knowing that this was a choice many cultivators made who pursued the Immortal Dao.

Perhaps one day, he too would make the choice Lin Chang’an was making today.

On Jade Spirit Island, Hu Jin from the late stage of Foundation Establishment had left, and now Lin Chang’an was also about to go.

Perhaps other Foundation Establishment cultivators had long known this day would come.

After all, without seeking to branch out and nurture descendants, nor indulging in pleasure, the cultivators committed to daily hard cultivation always had their sights set on the future.

Perhaps they would fall on this path, but the Immortal Cultivation Realm was precisely due to countless such cultivators who went forward, creating legends of Golden Core True Men and Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

However, in the ninth month of the Grand Gathering of Five Dragons Island, during the third auction, shocking news arrived.

The rebellion on Five Dragons Island!

Dozens of Golden Core cultivators were in a fierce battle!

For over a hundred years, numerous cultivators oppressed by Five Dragons Island joined forces to plan a rebellion.

"The Island Protection Array of Five Dragons Island has been destroyed. Numerous Tribulation Cultivators released sealed Yin Spirits using special magical artifacts, causing chaos on Five Dragons Island. Moreover, Li Huo Palace joined forces with several Core Formation cultivators to fiercely attack Five Dragons Island..."

Upon learning this news, Lin Chang’an could not help but be shocked.

Such a powerful Five Dragons Island had actually been breached.

The one who brought him this news, Lu Yujian, appeared very serious.

"It’s more than that! I’ve heard the Dragon Island Master of Five Dragons Island has been crazily amassing wealth in recent years to form a Nascent Soul, and somehow this news got leaked out.

Several late-stage Core Formation Tribulation cultivators teamed up, planning this revolt..."

Nascent Soul! A chaotic battle among Core Formation cultivators.

Upon hearing about everything that happened on Five Dragons Island, Lin Chang’an felt a chill down his spine.

Luckily, he wasn’t on Five Dragons Island, otherwise, in such chaos, who knows what might have happened.

"It was indeed that Five Dragons Island had been too overbearing these years, inciting resentment, and it’s heard that during this battle of several late-stage Core Formation cultivators, even the Dragon Island Master was severely injured!"

"Mr. Lin, be cautious recently. The entire Five Dragons Island sea region is in turmoil now."

Faced with Lu Yujian’s sincere reminder, Lin Chang’an gratefully clasped his hands: "Thank you, Mr. Lu."

This was why he maintained a good relationship with the Lu Family over the years; such prominent families were definitely more informed than a loose cultivator like himself.

Returning to his cave estate, Lin Chang’an’s expression was incredibly solemn.

"Yun Yao mentioned before, could this matter also be related to the Profound Yin Divine Sect?"

At this thought, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but feel a chill.

This Profound Yin Divine Sect was also known as the Profound Yin Demon Sect!

"Now that Five Dragons Island is in chaos, the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea would actually be a good place for me."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang’an began to pack his things, as it seemed he needed to leave earlier than planned.

In the cave estate, the Phoenix Cry Bird chirped curiously, and the Cyan-Horned Bull mooed by the water pool.

"Alright, you two, come with me quickly."

He directly put the Phoenix Cry Bird into the Spirit Beast Bag and hid it in his clothes, while the Cyan-Horned Bull stood there with wide eyes, waiting.

He collected all the valuable spirit plants in the cave estate without missing a single one.

No matter how small the gain, it was still meat.

Those who don’t manage a household wouldn’t know how expensive salt and oil are.

He even collected the array from the cave estate, but hesitated and finally communicated with Lu Yujian about the Island Protection Array.

He was about to journey far away, so he would let the Lu Family take over this array tower.

Moreover, there were some Spirit Stones he had left in the array tower’s slot.

There was no need to let these Spirit Stones affect his character.

Besides, he was only going to Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea to prepare Core Formation spiritual objects and hide from the chaos. It’s not like he’d never return.

"First, prepare the Core Formation spiritual objects. If I want to form a core, I still need to go to Sea Abyss City, and I might even need to bother the Lu Family for connections to find a spirit ship to leave."

Just as he finished packing and was about to leave, a Sound Transmission Jade Token glowed.

"This is... Yun Yao!"

...

Fifty miles outside Jade Spirit Island, in the sky above a sea region, Yun Yao stood in the void, looking pale.

"Brother Lin, this is the promise Yun Yao made back then."

As a jade box flew over and opened, Lin Chang’an’s face showed a trace of shock.

"This is... a Tier Three Middle Grade Wood Attribute Demon Pill!"

He originally thought it was a Core Formation spiritual object, but it turned out to be a Tier Three Middle Grade Demon Pill.

Recalling that both of them knew the Three-Turns Condensing Pill Formulas, Lin Chang’an felt a sense of gratitude.

This Tier Three Middle Grade Wood Attribute Demon Pill significantly increased the chances of core formation, twice as much as a lower-grade one.

This gift was extremely valuable.

Before Lin Chang’an could express his gratitude, Yun Yao seemed to have urgent matters, gravely instructing him on several issues before handing him a map of Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea.

"Brother Lin, this Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea map marks some dangerous areas within, as well as places where various formidable Tribulation Cultivators reside.
