Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Chapter 581: Chapter 294: Harnessing Fire with Wood

For instance, the Wood Attribute Technique he specializes in is restrained by gold and fire.

Now, by using the Fusang Divine Tree as his Lifebound Treasure, he can use wood to resist fire, avoiding being restrained by fire, while fire again restrains gold.

"Using wood to resist fire is extremely rare in the Immortal Cultivation Realm. This trump card shouldn’t be easily exposed."

Lin Chang’an thought to himself in silence. In reality, people outside believed his main cultivation technique was the Evil Essence Sword Formulas, so even if it was exposed, they wouldn’t suspect anything else.

But to be on the safe side, it never hurts to be cautious.

A trump card only remains a trump card if others are unaware of it. Once someone knows, should they set a trap, they will inevitably guard against your trump card.

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, there was once a Nascent Soul expert who was unrivaled in the same tier with a divine lightning technique, yet a cultivator of the same tier broke it with a Lightning Transformation Orb, almost destroying his body.

"The Sun-piercing Divine Sword is beginning to show its edge; it must be tested. The Phoenix Cry Bird, being a spirit of fire, isn’t very effective. It seems only the Cyan-Horned Bull, with its thick hide and increased defense after mutation, will do."

Thinking of testing the power of his magical treasure, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but smile.

At that moment, outside his cave dwelling, the Cyan-Horned Bull continued to leisurely soak in the pool, unaware that it had already become a target.

...

Just as Lin Chang’an, full of joy, went to test his Lifebound Treasure on the Cyan-Horned Bull.

Outside the Five Dragon Island Market.

A stream of light flashed by; it was the Sword Servant flying with sword flight.

The Sword Servant had a cold face, but between his brows, there was a hint of evil energy, and behind him was Zhou Bingxuan, her face full of worry.

"The person behind is a Core Formation Cultivator!"

Zhou Bingxuan’s face was pale, filled with a sense of dread. She never thought she’d one day be targeted by a Core Formation Cultivator.

"It’s a Fake Pill Cultivator. I have an escape light talisman granted by my master; he won’t catch up for a while."

The Sword Servant spoke calmly, while Zhou Bingxuan was on the verge of tears.

Is this the time to argue about whether it’s a Core Formation Cultivator or a Fake Pill Cultivator?

To her, they were both lofty beings beyond reach.

"Young friend, this item is not yours to take. Put it down, and this old man won’t bully the young."

A streak of escape light charged from behind, and a white-haired Core Formation Early Stage Cultivator, his expression calm, spoke.

"Damn it!"

The Sword Servant’s eyes burned with anger, but he still suppressed it and hoarsely said:

"Master, this item is for a Core Formation Master within the sect, and not far from here is our Profound Sound Pavilion sect’s outpost."

Originally, the Sword Servant was in the market collecting materials for his master and dividing Spirit Stones at the Lu Family business.

Lately, many treasures from forbidden areas surfaced in the market.

In front of a stall run by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he spotted a damaged, incomplete magical treasure.

Due to its damaged state and reduced value, it was at the stall.

Yet, the Sword Servant’s Celestial Spirit Sword Body sensed a trace of spiritual energy from the broken hilt, prompting her to use the Spirit Stones allocated from the Lu Family to purchase it for her master.

Never did she imagine that upon leaving the market with Zhou Bingxuan, a Fake Pill Cultivator would target them.

"Young friend!"

The relentlessly pursuing Fake Pill Cultivator looked calm, but anger brewed in his eyes.

Seeing the person was merely a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, yet bought numerous resources, he was already hesitant.

When he saw her using an ample amount of Spirit Stones to purchase a piece of magical treasure fragment, it blatantly revealed wealth.

Greed arose within him; the pretext of taking the item was just an excuse.

Now, hearing her claim to be from the Profound Sound Pavilion, a murderous intent surfaced in his eyes.

"The Profound Sound Pavilion only has five Core Formation Cultivators, two of whom are Honored Guest Elders. The strongest within is merely at the Core Formation Middle Stage."

After weighing the pros and cons, the old man decided to kill.

Eliminate a Foundation Establishment and a Qi Refining stage; who would know?

Having suffered a setback in the past, he only targeted lower-tier cultivators now, never provoking those of equal strength lightly.

He didn’t believe the Profound Sound Pavilion would act over two low-tier cultivators; at most, he’d hide again in the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea.

"The strongest is just a middle-stage Foundation Establishment girl; the risk is low!"

Though murder was in his heart, having been burned before, he remained cautious and vigilant.

"If you two won’t stop, don’t think this old man won’t dare to kill!"

The pursuing Fake Pill Cultivator’s voice had a hint of anger.

Meanwhile, Zhou Bingxuan’s face paled, a clear hint of panic in her eyes.

"Don’t worry, I’ve sent word to the master."

At that moment, the Sword Servant’s cold tone was oddly reassuring.

Yet, the Core Formation Cultivator chasing them grew red-eyed at the two reckless juniors.

The Escape Light Talisman was an almost Tier Three Talisman; in the hands of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it matched a Core Formation Cultivator’s speed.

"Damn ignorant brats!"

Muttering a curse, he activated a cultivation technique, his face reddening, boosting his speed to a new level.

"Young brats, today this old man will teach you a lesson on behalf of your elders!"

With a cold shout, this Core Formation Cultivator summoned a Great Seal, launching it towards the pair.

Facing the treasure’s assault, the Sword Servant wore a grim expression. The item she held was undoubtedly vital for her master and couldn’t afford to fall to others.

Suddenly, the Sword Servant spun, spat essence blood onto a golden talisman, which instantly blazed with golden light, releasing an aura of a magical treasure.
