Free Web NovelChapter 575: Chapter 291: Revealing the Tier Three Talisman Master
Subsequently, Fairy Ni Chang sighed lightly and explained the origin of the talisman.
"Back then, our Profound Sound Pavilion had an elder whose cultivation was only at the Fake Pill level, but his talent in talismans was exceptional. At the age of three hundred, he managed to breakthrough to become a Tier Three Talisman Master.
Later, when the news leaked, it was followed by..."
He wasn’t very familiar with the history of the Profound Sound Pavilion, but he understood that it was rare for such a sect to produce a Tier Three Skill Cultivator.
It was natural for other sects to covet them, especially since the Profound Sound Pavilion was the weakest among the Three Major Sects of the Yue Kingdom.
If it were him, he naturally wouldn’t sit by and watch a threat grow.
That’s also why he had been hiding, and is now revealing himself.
One reason is that the Demon Beast Abyss is vast and resources are abundant, so there’s no shortage of skill cultivators; another is that other forces would rather have him divert his attention to minor paths.
Of course, an even more important reason is that Lin Chang’an now has the power to protect himself.
"The sect also traveled countless miles to the Demon Beast Abyss to purchase talisman heritage and at the same time befriended people from the Bihai Palace in Sea Source City, establishing such connections."
Listening to Fairy Ni Chang’s explanation, Lin Chang’an suddenly understood why the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, despite being not very strong, established a connection with the Bihai Palace.
"Thank you, fellow cultivator."
Looking at the Tier Three Spirit Armor Talisman in his hand, along with two incomplete talisman heritages, he already had obtained quite a harvest.
"Mr. Lin, should we discreetly procure some talisman materials on the sect’s behalf?"
Faced with Fairy Ni Chang’s probe, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but nod with a smile.
"That’s a good idea. I have already bought a Fire Dragon Talisman heritage from Old Hu, so I’ll trouble you, fellow cultivator, to help collect some fire attribute talisman materials."
This was also Lin Chang’an showing off his connections.
Furthermore, not utilizing such a major sect would unnecessarily waste time and effort in collecting talisman materials, and it could easily lead to exposure.
With the Profound Sound Pavilion as a large sect providing cover, there would be no suspicion.
After all, with the current turmoil in the Secret Realm, many people are collecting various precious materials.
Subsequently, Lin Chang’an was a guest at the main peak. After a few days of tea and discussion with the others, he finally departed.
...
A few days later, Hu Jin once again visited Celestial Spring Peak, bringing with him the Tier Three Fire Dragon Talisman heritage that was needed.
Celestial Spring Peak.
Inside the secret room of the cave dwelling, Lin Chang’an held a Tier Three Spiritual Brush. With a solemn expression, he dipped it in cinnabar crafted from the essence blood of a fire-attribute demon beast beside him.
Then he skillfully began to write on the Tier Three talisman paper.
It seemed easy, but a great amount of mana and energy was being consumed, sealed onto a small talisman.
When the talisman was finally completed, a flash of fire ignited, and a fire dragon coiled on the gold-colored talisman, with a fierce ’fire’ character clearly displayed on the dragon’s head.
A Tier Three Spirit Talisman; once infused with mana, it would glow with spiritual light. For instance, the fire dragon on this Fire Dragon Talisman would appear almost alive and start swimming around.
[Tier Three Middle Grade Talisman Master +1 (Mastery 0/1000)]
"Finally broke through!"
When the talisman was completed, and the vague comprehension fully digested, Lin Chang’an opened his eyes slowly and couldn’t help but smile in satisfaction.
Among the four major skills, he had delved into the art of talismans for the longest time.
He managed to break through to a Tier Three Talisman Master at the age of 102, but progress had been slow over the years due to the lack of talisman inheritance.
"It took 66 years to reach a Tier Three Middle Grade Talisman Master."
Though it was a bit slow, Lin Chang’an was still pleased.
This was tantamount to gaining another trump card.
Only a few knew of his Tier Three Talisman Master status, and certainly, no one would suspect his skill level to have reached Tier Three Middle Grade.
"It’s also thanks to the upheaval in the Secret Realm, attracting so many forces."
The upside of the Yin Soul Sect Secret Realm surfacing was that various factions were gathering high-level materials abundantly, particularly spiritual objects that counter the Yin Souls.
This resulted in many scarce resources becoming widely available, making it easier for both Profound Sound Pavilion and him to gather.
More importantly, selling some of his talismans discreetly would be much easier.
"Materials for Tier Three Middle Grade talismans are hard to come by, so I’ll primarily sell these Tier Three Lower Grade talismans, needed by both Old Hu and Profound Sound Pavilion."
Pondering silently, Lin Chang’an was already planning his future talisman sales.
Due to the current upheaval, while collecting materials for Tier Three Middle Grade talismans, he would keep some for self-defense and sell the rest gradually.
After all, if he didn’t sell them, there would be other forces doing it.
Now, even in the market and the black market of Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea, various Tier Three talismans, and sometimes even Tier Three Upper Grade talismans, have appeared.
"Now that talismans, artifacts, arrays, and pills are ready, all that’s left is stable cultivation, but there’s a rare item at the upcoming Bihai Palace auction that I must acquire!"
Reflecting on the jade scroll Old Hu had previously given him, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but show a serious expression.
As he retrieved it from the storage bag once more, upon revealing its value, he became lost in thought again.
Tier Three Upper Grade ’Fire Spirit Liquid’ is an extremely rare attribute spirit liquid. It has miraculous effects on fire attribute cultivators for cultivation, nurturing fire attribute spirit plants, or even artifact refining and arrays.
For him, whether repairing the Tier Three Array ’Blood Slaughter Red Sun Array’ or restoring the ’Blood Evil Sword’s spiritual charm, these are top-grade materials.
But what he considered most was his own life-bound magical treasure.
"Sun-piercing Divine Sword!"
As Lin Chang’an raised his hand, the ban on the cave dwelling shimmered, and a golden light fell into his hand.
A golden-patterned ancient sword appeared in his palm. It was indeed his life-bound treasure. At this moment, Lin Chang’an bore a serious expression, sensing his lifebound treasure.
"Cultivating wood with fire and controlling fire with wood. Currently, the Sun-piercing Divine Sword harbors considerable demonic qi, and relying solely on my purification is too slow."
If he had the Tier Three Upper Grade Fire Spirit Liquid, he could greatly accelerate the spirituality of the Fusang Divine Tree.
"Not much is needed. Just purifying one Sun-piercing Divine Sword would suffice. Once the demonic qi is cleared, a corresponding spiritual fire would naturally be born, also known as controlling fire with wood.
With assistance, the purification of demonic qi in other treasures can also be expedited."
Thinking of this, Lin Chang’an bore a heavy expression.
Clearing the demonic qi from the life-bound treasure early would allow it to unleash its powerful effect sooner, greatly boosting his strength.
After all, the Fusang Divine Tree naturally restrains demonic qi, only overwhelmed previously due to excessive demonic qi.
"If I use this method, unlike utilizing the Profound Celestial Immortal Vine for purification, it would be leveraging the natural restraint abilities of the Fusang Divine Tree to expel demonic qi from within."
In which case, he would still need special sealing treasures to seal these demonic qi.
After all, unpurified demonic qi can even erode the Fusang Divine Tree, illustrating its terror.
"A Tier Three Upper Grade spiritual object is likely priced above 200,000 middle-grade Spirit Stones."
This is for supplementary spiritual objects; if it’s a Tier Three Upper Grade Demon Pill-like spiritual object, its value exceeds 500,000 middle-grade Spirit Stones.
However, reaching this level, very few cultivators would trade using Spirit Stones; it’s more about bartering.
"200,000 middle-grade Spirit Stones, with my current wealth, I cannot afford it."
Considering this, Lin Chang’an began to ponder deeply.
Despite accumulating many Spirit Stones over the years, the only course he could consider was borrowing some from the Lu Family and the Profound Sound Pavilion. freewebnoveℓ.com
But the amount he’s thinking of borrowing is quite substantial.
"Presently, due to the discovery of the Yin Soul Sect Secret Realm, this item’s value is likely even greater. During this event at the Bihai Palace, only Dragon Family, Four Seas Commerce Association, and the Profound Sound Pavilion have the power to obtain it."
After carefully contemplating, Lin Chang’an finally sighed lightly and shook his head:
"Seems I’ll have to collaborate with the Lu Family and the Profound Sound Pavilion first."
Borrowing such a large sum of Spirit Stones isn’t realistic, especially with the current turmoil where Spirit Stones are in short supply.
It would be better for the three factions to work together to acquire this item and then divide the spiritual object later.
After all, the item has broad applications.
"The Profound Sound Pavilion has long been overshadowed by the Four Seas Commerce Association in trade; if they could rely on this item, and I help them refine a pivotal fire attribute array, the Profound Sound Pavilion surely wouldn’t refuse."
By then, whether the Profound Sound Pavilion used it personally or shelved it to attract cultivators, none of it would concern him.
Of course, it’s all thanks to the Yin Soul Sect Secret Realm.
Anything countering Yin Souls is extremely sought after now.
