Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 197 - 142: Incognito Master Yao

In the following two months.

The six of them joined forces to acquire some of the disordered black market shops in the East District of Celestial Profound City.

They established a new black market trading area, setting new unified regulations.

Under the intimidation of six Foundation Establishment Cultivators, four of whom were at the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, some local bullies didn't even dare to express dissatisfaction.

They chose to respectfully abide by the new rules.

Where there is light in this world, there will be darkness.

The Immortal Cultivation Realm has too many things that cannot see the light of day, leading to the proliferation of black markets.

With six Foundation Establishment Cultivators joining forces, not to mention many of these people were at Late-stage Qi Refining, even Foundation Establishment Cultivators or those related to families couldn't afford to provoke them.

The six of them almost staked their fortunes; cutting off someone's path to riches is cutting off their livelihood.

Who would be foolish enough to be resented by six Foundation Establishment Cultivators over this issue?

In less than three months, the black market in the East District was established imperceptibly.

After the black market was established, the six discussed taking turns overseeing it, as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator must oversee the black market long-term.

After it was rumored that the black market had a Tier Two Pill Master who could refine Foundation Establishment Pills, it attracted many people.

However, all this allowed Lin Chang'an to relax since he didn't want to oversee the market; he was willing to offer some resources in exchange for someone else to take his place.

Among the group, Old Jia, Ghost Three Blades, and He Yan had their eyes light up.

After all, they had no particular skills; besides cultivation, they had to study other things.

They were naturally willing.

...

Half a year later.

"Recently, my Pill Master Medicine Man alias has officially debuted."

At this moment, in his cave dwelling, Lin Chang'an had a satisfied smile on his face.

The pill furnace in front of him flickered with firelight, refining a batch of Foundation Establishment Pills.

"Exchanging one set of Foundation Establishment Materials for two Foundation Establishment Pills is undoubtedly the most attractive for some loose cultivators crowdfunding alchemy."

"Whether I can produce a few, I directly guarantee you two genuine Foundation Establishment Pills as a bottom line—how about that?"

After all, the greatest worry of crowdfunding alchemy is producing only one pill.

"In the eyes of outsiders, this Pill Master would rather earn less than risk exposure. For this, I must thank Li Huo Palace."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but feel sentimental.

Because the two major sects had placed bounties on skill cultivators in Celestial Profound City, many cultivators had hidden their identities and acted covertly.

His actions were not unusual and did not arouse suspicion.

"The pills are done!"

As the firelight from the alchemy furnace faded, three Foundation Establishment Pills, glowing with spiritual light, floated out and fell into the jade bottles.

Lin Chang'an collected them with satisfaction.

"With my talent, each set of Foundation Establishment Materials could produce three premium Foundation Establishment Pills, but to avoid drawing attention, I had to reduce some materials and refine only these three genuine Foundation Establishment Pills."

Looking at the Foundation Establishment Pills in his hand, Lin Chang'an sighed.

The accumulated reduced materials also made significant income for him.

No wonder some accomplished cultivators like to foster a force; even Master Lu, a loose cultivator, is no exception.

"Relying solely on oneself, doing everything personally, wastes too much time. It's different now."

Over the past six months, Lin Chang'an finally experienced the benefits of fostering a power.

As the black market gradually stabilized, he could sell many things that couldn't see the light of day there.

As for questioning, they would have to ask the six Foundation Establishment Cultivators and the Celestial Profound City behind them.

Since they opened the door for business, they were not afraid if something was illegitimate.

As long as it's not a Core Formation opportunity or a high-level treasure, they could handle it.

To ensure the safety of the black market and to demonstrate their background externally, the six pooled resources to purchase a Tier Two Middle Grade Array in Celestial Profound City to set up in the black market.

Every night when the black market opens, besides defense, the array conceals the aura of cultivators, providing peace of mind to those who come.

"To cultivate steadily in Celestial Profound City, who would be foolish enough to risk hunting demon beasts."

In the past six months, Lin Chang'an rarely went out to hunt demon beasts.

"Every Foundation Establishment Pill could extract a lot of materials, but the most in-demand daily are elixirs for increasing cultivation."

Lin Chang'an calculated silently. No wonder the major powers all fervently ran markets.

The money earned from risking one's life couldn't compare to clever trade.

"However, with the beast tide in Cloud Mist Mountain Range becoming more severe, I can't improve my cultivation level quickly, so the best move now is to master a powerful spell or divine technique."

Considering the recent intelligence from Cloud Mist Mountain Range, Lin Chang'an frowned.

No matter the time, strength never deceives.

"The Giant Sword Technique, with a mid-stage Foundation Establishment's cultivation, can break through a Tier Two Late Stage Demon Beast's defenses, though the casting time is a bit long."

[Giant Sword Technique (Proficient 392/500)]

Observing the proficiency of this divine power spell, Lin Chang'an calculated silently.

Besides the divine Giant Sword Technique attached to the Evil Essence Sword Formulas, there was the generous Daoist friend Huang Shaohai, who selflessly contributed the unique Giant Sword Technique of Li Huo Palace.

In essence, both Giant Sword Techniques are the same, only the usage differs.

"In this way, it's pretty good. If encountering a strong enemy, I could buy enough time to use the Giant Sword Technique from the Evil Essence Sword Formulas, with double the usual power."

"But I still need to train diligently and strive to reduce the casting time to one or two breaths."

The proficiency of this divine technique has always been something he's cultivated, but this time is different.
