Free Web NovelChapter 612: Chapter 307: The Old Xuan Yin Devil Arrives
Five Dragon Island Market.
This time, after Lin Chang’an came out of seclusion, he was invited to attend a trade fair for Core Formation Cultivators at the market.
"Mr. Lin, your Heavenly Fire Array has been displayed for three years. If there were truly any array inheritance you needed, someone would have exchanged it with you by now.
My brother and I from the Wu Family are offering a high price! Absolutely a high price, how about that?"
At the Core Formation Cultivator’s trade fair, two large men dressed in leather armor, who looked extremely similar, were talking to Lin Chang’an with smiles on their faces.
Both were at the Core Formation Middle Stage cultivation level, but they still smiled sincerely at Lin Chang’an, an Early Stage Core Formation Cultivator.
Not only them, but many others at the trade fair also had their eyes on the Tier Three Array that Lin Chang’an had been displaying for three years.
Facing the eager looks from the other cultivators, Lin Chang’an feigned a helpless expression and clasped his hands, saying:
"All you have to do is ask around to find out how much I have invested in this array before I managed to restore this ancient formation.
Although it’s just a Tier Three Middle Grade, its power is not at all inferior, and it can even attack objects outside the array..."
Since the restrictions of the Yin Soul Sect’s Secret Realm have been weakening over the past few years, many Core Formation Cultivators have come and begun preparing to enter the realm.
This Tier Three Heavenly Fire Array of Lin Chang’an’s is something many cultivators greatly desire.
It’s easy to set up, simple to control, and perfectly counters Yin Souls, making it the perfect tool for exploring the Secret Realm.
If they encounter any danger, they can hide inside the array to restore their mana or even counterattack.
Unlike ordinary arrays, which are cumbersome to set up and have limited practical effect in environments like the Secret Realm.
"Mr. Lin, it’s been three years! If you don’t sell it, all the resources you’ve invested in it would just be wasted."
"Exactly, why not trade this array first and use the resources to prepare and craft another one?"
Many visiting Core Formation Cultivators had a love-hate relationship with this Array Master Lin Chang’an.
They loved that he was genuinely skilled and operated a shop on Celestial Spring Peak with extensive networks and resources.
This meant Lin Chang’an, as a Core Formation Cultivator, would not easily abandon his foundation here.
An Array Master with a solid foundation naturally reassures those purchasing his arrays.
After all, even with the same array, each Array Master differs in detail, and seeking others might cost more and not restore the original power.
They hated that he only had two hands and couldn’t make a couple more sets of arrays.
Amidst the crowd, even Fairy Ni Chang hesitated before secretly transmitting a message:
"Mr. Lin, a Tier Three Upper Grade Array inheritance is something very few other than some major powers can offer. It’s better to seize this opportunity to exchange it for cultivation resources.
Anyway, there’s still time before Core Formation Cultivators are allowed into the Secret Realm. With the full support of the Profound Sound Pavilion, you could potentially craft another array."
Listening to Fairy Ni Chang’s words, Lin Chang’an nodded with resignation, but in truth, he already had a plan in his mind.
"In that case, if a suitable offer presents itself during this opportunity, I might as well trade this array. After all, it has consumed too many of my resources."
Shaking his head, Lin Chang’an finally decided to relax the trading conditions while presenting how much effort he’d invested in this array.
This sight made the cultivators present, who were capable of trading for the array, smile broadly.
"What else might Mr. Lin need?"
Previously, Lin Chang’an insisted on an exchange for a Tier Three Upper Grade Array inheritance, which they couldn’t provide. But now, with loosened conditions, it depended on what Lin Chang’an required.
Facing the eager looks, Lin Chang’an feigned a moment of deep thought before nodding and speaking in a steady voice:
"Now that the restrictions of the Yin Soul Sect’s Secret Realm are weakening further, the situation grows more tumultuous. I’ve heard even Nascent Soul Cultivators have been alerted.
I’ve only just reached Core Formation a few decades ago, with shallow Cultivation and not adept at combat, nor inclined to fight. I only wish to trade for some elixirs or spirit fruits to enhance my cultivation, for self-protection."
His words were not untrue; he lacked neither magical treasures nor cultivation techniques, nor even spirit stones.
What he needed most was to elevate his cultivation so he could more quickly break through to the Core Formation Middle Stage, providing himself with far more security than acquiring some magical treasures.
Seeing Lin Chang’an aim to trade for spiritual objects to enhance his currently shallow cultivation, everyone fell silent.
At their level, if they had such items, they would keep them for when their cultivation stagnates or when they hit a bottleneck.
After all, the elixirs and spirit fruits useful to Core Formation Cultivators have stringent requirements, and the usual seven to eight hundred-year-old spirit grass is not very effective anymore.
"Mr. Lin, I have a Thousand-Year Spirit Fruit here, and the rest I can supplement with spirit stones or other resources. Would you be willing?"
Thousand-Year Elixirs are rare, but with the Secret Realm in mind, many cultivators revealed a determined expression.
One Thousand-Year Spirit Fruit might not significantly enhance their cultivation.
It’s better to prepare for the Secret Realm, as even a slight opportunity could be far more beneficial than the spirit fruit.
Once the first offer was made, other capable individuals also gritted their teeth and brought out their treasures.
"Mr. Lin, I have two Tier Three Middle Grade Elixirs here intended for use when my cultivation hits a bottleneck..."
"I don’t have spiritual medicines to enhance cultivation, but I do have a piece of Spirit Jade said to be associated with the legendary Spiritual Eye. When worn by cultivators, it can significantly speed up cultivation..."
Some quoted openly, while others communicated secretly, for some treasures are personal secrets they wouldn’t want to reveal lightly.
