Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

"Even though the Long Family suffered this time, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. My small frame can’t withstand it."

Upon entering the shop and hearing this Fatty Lei complaining, Lin Chang’an’s expression remained calm.

As for trapping a household?

Isn’t he just eager to make a move?

Besides, when you open a business and run a black market, there’s naturally risk involved, he’s well aware of that.

"Oh, this fellow cultivator seems rather unfamiliar, doesn’t he?"

Upon suddenly seeing a Fake Pill Cultivator enter, this Fatty Lei smiled and curiously saluted and greeted him.

This time, Lin Chang’an had disguised himself as a gaunt Fake Pill Cultivator.

"I had heard previously about the Five Dragon Island Market auctioning off a Core Formation Spiritual Object, so I traveled from afar, only to encounter this situation, forcing me to lay low for a while."

"Isn’t that right?" The shop owner didn’t suspect anything, expressing his sentiments.

However, the small eyes nestled in his fat face revealed a hint of cunning.

The more chaotic the world becomes, the more his black market profits.

"I came here after hearing that you’re the most informed here, hoping to inquire about the current situation."

Lin Chang’an chuckled dryly, though he had gathered quite a bit of information on his own beforehand.

However, getting information from a professional, even if it costs Flower Spirit Stones, would be more comprehensive.

"You’re here for information, are you? Certainly."

Upon hearing that business was calling, Fatty Lei was all smiles as he invited Lin Chang’an into the back room.

Many Foundation Establishment Cultivators outside saw this and were filled with envy.

Fake Pill Cultivators are also a part of the Core Formation Cultivators after all.

They are entirely different from Foundation Establishment Cultivators in terms of level.

They can only remain outside; only Cultivators of this caliber can be invited inside.

"Fellow Cultivator, here is the information you requested."

After obtaining the information, Lin Chang’an read it and furrowed his brows.

He hadn’t expected the chaos around Five Dragon Island to involve so much.

Bihai Palace, as the overlord of the Demon Beast Abyss, has been around for too long, causing many to be dissatisfied.

After all, Bihai Palace occupies the most significant resources of the Demon Beast Abyss.

For thousands of years, wars have erupted in the Demon Beast Abyss.

"The two Palace Masters of Bihai Palace have been in seclusion for a century. Rumor has it they’ve been secretly recuperating after having a mishap with a Secret Technique.

In recent years, Bihai Palace has been recruiting many cultivators, even the newly formed Nascent Soul Master Lu was recruited, while many Outer Sea sect forces are secretly probing..."

Seeing this detailed information about the entire Demon Beast Abyss situation, Lin Chang’an was satisfied that the Spirit Stones weren’t spent in vain.

The Long Family of Five Dragon Island has been acting dominantly over the years; Bihai Palace has warned them several times, but they continue as they please.

"The Long Family is truly insane, betting entirely on whether they can produce a Nascent Soul Cultivator. If they lose, the backlash may be more than the Long Family can handle!"

Lin Chang’an shook his head silently.

But thinking from another perspective, would one really settle for missing out on opportunities while playing it safe?

"Mr. Lei, do you think the Long Family is also being reprimanded?"

Though the information didn’t explicitly state it, it pointed towards the Long Family’s double-dealing over the years, perhaps Bihai Palace’s delay is a way to take the opportunity to reprimand them.

Facing Lin Chang’an’s inquiry, Fatty Lei shook his head with a smile and said:

"How would I know? After all, I’m just a Fake Pill Cultivator. In the eyes of these great forces, I’m just a slightly larger ant."

Lin Chang’an smiled, shook his head, and after putting away the information, bid Fatty Lei farewell with a salute.

Judging by the situation, it seems Five Dragon Island will be in turmoil for a while.

But whether it’s chaotic outside or not doesn’t concern him.

He’s already purchased enough resources to gather Core Formation Spiritual Objects fiercely within the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea this time around.

At the same time, he plans to cultivate in this Yin Spring Spirit Vein location!

He won’t emerge until reaching Foundation Establishment Late Stage consummation!
