Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 257 - 167: Something Went Wrong (Double Updates Resume Tomorrow)

Chapter 257: Chapter 167: Something Went Wrong (Double Updates Resume Tomorrow)

Day by day passed by.

Under the scorching summer heat, Celestial Profound City was bustling with activity.

Nearly a year of beast tide had accumulated an abundance of demon beast materials, attracting trade from major commerce guilds across the Seven Kingdoms.

Though the beast tide had subsided, its aftermath lingered.

Within a hundred miles outside Celestial Profound City, there were still quite a few demon beasts.

Currently, many demon hunting squads were excitedly hunting demon beasts.

If they don’t work hard now, in another year and a half, they’ll have to venture deep into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range to hunt again.

The difficulty will increase severalfold, so naturally, everyone knows what should be done at the moment.

This leads to an extremely rich phase of demon beast material in Celestial Profound City.

"The weather is nice today."

Within the pavilion at the Dao Field, under the blazing summer sun, the Cyan-Horned Bull lay lazily in the pool, basking in the sun, finally able to relax after risking its life.

Meanwhile, the Phoenix Cry Bird was in the pavilion, using its wings to pour tea and water, looking like a heartwarming and attentive bird servant.

Lin Chang’an smiled silently, knowing the Phoenix Cry Bird’s intention; it was clearly coveting his spirit tea.

"If only Yue Kingdom could remain this peaceful forever."

Gazing at the fragmented insights of array formation in his hand, Lin Chang’an entered a stage of enlightenment; upon witnessing this, the palm-sized golden bird on the stone table.

Its pair of light golden eyes revealed a hint of cunning; it stealthily poured itself a cup of spirit tea, then drank it in large gulps.

Until the teapot was nearly empty, it suddenly remembered something, and the Phoenix Cry Bird quickly lifted its head, next moment grabbing the teacup and flying toward the Cyan-Horned Bull.

"Moo!"

The Cyan-Horned Bull was still in a satisfied state, enjoying the Phoenix Cry Bird’s feeding, unaware that this cunning Phoenix Cry Bird had deceivingly placed the teacup at the pond’s edge.

Evidence was clear.

[Tier Two Lower Grade Array Master +3 (Beginner 2/100)]

Following the array enlightenment, after a while, Lin Chang’an finally sighed deeply, his gaze returning to its previous clarity.

"After years of study, I’ve finally advanced to Tier Two in the array path."

Breaking through this barrier instantly clarified many incomprehensible aspects, prompting Lin Chang’an to involuntarily smile.

"Though only a lower grade Tier Two Array Master, it definitely boosts the confidence in exploring cave mansion ruins."

Consider him, a mere loose cultivator, under a hundred years, already at Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, even mastering three out of the four arts in the Hundred Skills of Cultivation.

Tier Two Rune Master, Pill Master, Array Master, just missing one in artifact refining.

"With my current talent, if outsiders were aware, who would dare underestimate my low-grade spirit root?"

At this, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but smile; only he knew the difficulty of advancing with his low-grade spirit root.

Fortunately, the heavens were fair, granting him a low-grade spirit root along with remarkable talents in the Hundred Skills of Cultivation.

Just then, a sound transmission talisman began to flicker.

"Oh, are they in a hurry?"

Observing the shimmering spiritual light of the sound transmission talisman in the pavilion, Lin Chang’an revealed a faint smile.

"About time."

Inside the pavilion, one, two, three... over a dozen sound transmission talismans were flickering with spiritual light, clearly indicating urgency from the other side.

...

In the West District Market.

The ten Foundation Establishment cultivators, who previously had high aspirations to replace the East District Black Market, now appeared extremely grim.

Some even broke into a cold sweat, nervously watching the sound transmission talismans they were in contact with.

Among them, Qin Feng, whose eyes were bloodshot, fiercely stared at these sound transmission talismans.

"Daoist Yao, didn’t we agree? We’ve compensated the East District Market for breach with spirit stones, all the profits from this transaction are yours, we’ve even offered you...

If you find the price unreasonable, we’ll give you a tenth of the market’s future profits, but this has gone on for months, yet you’re either in seclusion or gaining enlightenment every day!"

Qin Feng’s hoarse voice resonated, yet one by one, two, three, over a dozen were met with complete silence, with no response.

Ultimately, they managed to reach only two, who honestly completed the transaction, but for them, it was a mere drop in the ocean.

This left them all stunned.

"Damn it!"

"I said there was enormous risk in this matter."

"These damned, elusive scoundrels!"

While the group cursed, Qin Feng’s sound transmission talisman suddenly responded, immediately everyone wore an expectant expression.

This time, they truly bet all their assets, if the outcome were truly the worst, they’d lose everything.

"Daoist Qin, after much thought, we believe your West District Market carries too much risk, we will halt this trade.

Please, Daoist Qin, on account of our friendship, do not inform the East District Market; I’m afraid fellow Daoists there might misunderstand..."

In an instant, the sound ceased, leaving Qin Feng’s eyes bloodshot, filled with a predatory expression.

Heaven destroy these untrustworthy betrayers.

Simultaneously, other sound transmission talismans began to respond.

"Daoist, best not to contact any further, fearing misunderstanding from the East District Market."

"Having known you, thank you for your generous gifts, I’ll remember this kindness."

"Daoist, preparing for seclusion and breakthrough, likely not emerging for three to five years."

"Damn it, are you setting us up? I was spotted on the way, your black market, I’m never returning."

"Haha, thanks to Yue Kingdom fellows for your generosity, I’ve prepared to return to Dongyu Kingdom, hope to meet again..."

Goodness gracious, each sound transmission talisman replied back in a variety of manners.
