Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Chapter 590: Chapter 297: The Tournament! Next Steps

When Lin Chang’an saw this scene, he held the Spirit Tea and imitated Fairy Ni Chang’s previous demeanor.

He, as an Honored Guest Elder, did not want to get involved in the Sect’s internal affairs.

However, after the three discussed, they finally decided to let Xu Lingfeng choose several older Foundation Establishment Cultivators within the Sect who were willing to take risks.

But the number could not exceed fifteen people.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivators are already the backbone of a Sect, even the Profound Sound Pavilion has less than two hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Moreover, including those stationed in the Yue Kingdom, there are less than a hundred and fifty Foundation Establishment Cultivators within the Sect.

Losing a tenth of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators suddenly would certainly be painful.

This time, having Lin Chang’an join the Sect’s secret meeting also represented trust in him, which Lin Chang’an understood very well.

As the secret meeting concluded, the disciples who won in the Sect’s competition also entered the main hall one after another.

Especially those who caught the eye of the Sect’s Golden Core Cultivators and were accepted as disciples, making many envious.

"Disciple Mei Ning, Zhou Bingxuan... greet the Master!"

"Hmm, you seven shall be provisional disciples for now; once you establish your foundation, I will accept you as direct disciples."

Under Liu Ruyu’s calm demeanor, she looked at the seven female disciples kneeling to offer tea below with a satisfied nod.

These were the first disciples she accepted after forming her core, and all had considerable talent within the Sect this time.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Xu Lingfeng also, with a dignified demeanor, accepted twelve disciples, both male and female.

But Lin Chang’an noticed that the disciples chosen by Xu Lingfeng were almost all cultivators adept at offensive combat, which made him nod silently.

It suited this person’s character.

This time, out of the five people from Celestial Spring Peak who came, three were selected: Mei Ning, Zhou Bingxuan, and Li Tianmo.

Lin Chang’an was quite satisfied with this, and the other female cultivator not being selected was indeed due to a lack of strength.

As for Shen Zhuang’s exclusion, it was entirely because he was not skilled in fighting, or rather, his methods were too rigid, lacking flexibility.

"But it’s not without benefits. If, in the future, Shen Zhuang can succeed in establishing his foundation, specializing in earth-based cultivation techniques, he might not do poorly."

Lin Chang’an shook his head, and after the Sect rewarded the Foundation Establishment Pills and so forth, he rode the Cyan-Horned Bull, taking the Sword Servant and the two unselected individuals away.

Mei Ning and Zhou Bingxuan, having been accepted by Core Formation Cultivators, although only as provisional disciples, would receive some guidance and arrangements.

Li Tianmo, along with all the victorious disciples, would receive unified guidance from the Sect’s Core Formation Cultivators and then prepare to retreat and take the Foundation Establishment Pills for breakthrough.

After all, almost all those who participated in the Sect’s competition were cultivators at the perfect late stage of Qi Refining.

...

Under the moonlight, the Cyan-Horned Bull reluctantly left the Profound Sound Pavilion, still chewing on a High Level Spirit Fruit.

"Moo!"

The profound sound of the Cyan-Horned Bull echoed as Lin Chang’an stood at its head, rarely so relaxed, admiring the moonlit scenery of the world.

Behind him, the Sword Servant’s gaze seemed to fix solely on the graceful and handsome figure in front of him.

At the tail of the bull were the two individuals with somewhat low spirits.

"In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, a victory or a temporary setback means nothing. Only by staying true to your heart, when you look back, will you realize that the successes and failures were merely part of your journey."

The indifferent and clear voice echoed in the ears of the two, causing them to raise their gaze to Lin Chang’an, this Core Formation Cultivator.

Under Lin Chang’an’s calm demeanor, he spoke from the heart to the two, but as for the future, he didn’t have much capacity or leisure to take care of them.

After all, he still had much to accomplish, and today was a rare moment of relaxation.

"Both the Profound Sound Pavilion and Lu Family plan to take this opportunity to earn Spirit Stones. I cannot miss this opportunity either. A large influx of High Level resources, with Tier Three Upper Grade Spirit Liquid occasionally appearing..."

At this thought, Lin Chang’an’s eyes flickered; he hadn’t forgotten his Lifebound Spirit Plant.

The second withered leaf had a third still yellow, and he needed to work harder to cultivate it sooner, so his second avatar could exert its strongest power.

"The next step is to accumulate Spirit Stones and buy High Level Spirit Liquid."

Currently, his Alchemy, Talisman, and Array skills are all Tier Three. Taking this opportunity to earn Spirit Stones is a rare opportunity.

While many materials were hard to collect in normal times, now it was relatively easier.
