Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 252 - 164: Targeted

Now he is crafting magical treasures for him and Senior Sister Su, and won’t have the time for decades.

And the few top-grade spiritual artifacts in stock are used to win over or reward the subordinates.

So Lin Chang’an, upon hearing this, stopped mentioning it.

"But my offensive and defensive capabilities are still quite decent. Ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators may not even have a top-grade spiritual artifact."

Lin Chang’an nodded silently. Previously, he thought about whether he could get a top-grade spiritual artifact of the flying needle class, but it seems there’s no chance.

"It’s better to focus on cultivation, my skills in alchemy have also improved lately."

[Tier Two Middle Grade Pill Master (Mastery 607/1000)]

Looking at his skills in the Alchemy Dao, Lin Chang’an nodded with satisfaction.

"In about six to seven years, the alchemy skills might break through to the upper grade."

[Tier One Upper Grade Array Master (Grandmaster 4996/5000)]

"As for arrays, breaking through to Tier Two is just around the corner."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang’an’s eyes flickered, then he placed the elixirs he refined into his storage bag.

"With the recent trade interactions of the Seven Nations Chamber of Commerce, Celestial Profound City is bustling. Let’s see if there’s a chance to collect some rare array materials."

After all, improving skills in arrays will be very helpful for exploring cave ruins in the future.

More importantly, he specializes in the Hundred Skills of Cultivation and knows what to prioritize.

The cave ruins are still hanging in the air and might not fall into his hands.

Therefore, he never lets it affect his cultivation, as strength is fundamental.

He then stored the Phoenix Cry Bird and Cyan-Horned Bull into the Spirit Beast Bag and left the cave.

In the bustling Celestial Profound City, he secretly disguised himself, changing his appearance with the power of the Bloodthirsty Poison Vine, into another alias, the Medicine Elder.

With a completely different aura, even demon beasts couldn’t sense anything.

...

East District Market (Black Market).

"Tier One late-stage demon beast materials, any interested friends can come take a look."

"Tier Two demon beast’s incomplete materials, definitely worth the value."

"Magical artifacts, incomplete magical artifacts, fellow cultivators can take them back and repair..."

In the bustling black market, the cultivators with stalls on both sides, although hiding their faces, were transparent to Lin Chang’an’s late-stage Foundation Establishment Divine Sense.

Their cultivation was clear at a glance.

Most were high-level late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, and occasionally even early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators were purchasing materials.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chang’an nodded silently.

"These Foundation Establishment cultivators unwilling to expose their identities, once accustomed to a black market location, won’t easily go elsewhere."

This is the most crucial aspect of running a black market, providing a safe environment for the cultivators who come here.

Over time, they become accustomed to this safe trade channel, and who would risk changing places easily.

"This Spirit Grass is quite good, it must be exclusive to the Jiang Kingdom. How about I trade this elixir with you."

"An elixir to enhance cultivation, excellent! Fellow cultivator, I have more good items here."

A stall owner, upon examining the elixir, immediately changed his expression, suppressing his delight, and began to secretly transmit his voice. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

An elixir to enhance cultivation is a hard currency.

Extremely popular among cultivators.

Especially for a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator like him, high-tier (Tier Two) elixirs are all the more enticing.

Any increase in their own cultivation would add a bit of hope for Foundation Establishment.

"Fellow cultivator, this isn’t quite enough."

Under the alias of the Medicine Elder, in a calm tone, Lin Chang’an sells seven to eight-tenths of his elixirs directly to the black market main party each month.

The rest, he comes to the black market to exchange for some alchemical or other necessary materials.

"Fellow cultivator, I have more, these... and these, should be enough."

Lin Chang’an, disguised as Medicine Elder, nodded in satisfaction, exchanged two cultivation-enhancing elixirs with the other party, and then left.

However, just as Lin Chang’an was secretly purchasing, his eyebrows suddenly knitted.

"Being watched!?"
