Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 217 - 149: Ruins Stirring? Fishing!

"Although it happened twice before, it was mostly fleeting, and it was always the aura of a demon beast."

Yun Yao raised her hand, and over a dozen sensing jade talismans hovered in front of her. Only one of them flickered with a strong spiritual light.

"This is the aura sensing of a cultivator using mana. Perhaps the other party hasn't discovered this secret realm yet."

Yun Yao's expression was evidently quite grave as she spoke.

After all, with a cultivator here, if the secret realm is truly discovered and the news gets out, it could bring immense change to the opportunity.

Lin Chang'an naturally understood this logic.

If only the two of them knew about this relic cave mansion, they could take their time preparing.

But if others also discovered it, who knows what might happen.

"Brother Lin!"

"Mr. Yun!"

After exchanging a glance, both of them displayed a solemn expression.

Even Lin Chang'an furrowed his brows, feeling a bit unwilling.

The relic of a Golden Core cultivator was not easily found, and if they missed this chance, they might never get another.

"Let's go take a look first."

Considering his current strength and their combined effort, with his talisman treasure as a trump card, escaping shouldn't be a problem.

"Alright."

Yun Yao decisively put away the array flags and array discs surrounding them.

Then the two retracted their spirit pets and headed toward the direction of the Golden Core cultivator's relic.

...

Along the way, Lin Chang'an was secretly astounded that the relic was so deep within the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

If it weren't for Yun Yao leading the way, he wouldn't have risked venturing in so easily.

In their previous collaboration, the initiative lay entirely with Yun Yao.

Because she alone knew the address of the relic.

It's hard to say whether this unexpected event is good or bad.

However, one thing is for sure: after this, he now generally knows the location of the relic.

"Brother Lin, if it's just a Foundation Establishment cultivator who inadvertently ventured deep, we can disguise as hunting cultivators to scare them off. But if they discover the relic's traces..."

Yun Yao didn't finish her sentence, but the coldness in her eyes said it all.

The Immortal Cultivation Realm is always the survival of the fittest.

"Mr. Yun, we should be cautious. The cultivator who can venture this deep into the mountains is not weak. If things go wrong, we must retreat swiftly."

Lin Chang'an, though unwilling, pondered for a moment and decided that if they were overpowered, he wouldn't mind withdrawing first.

"If we can't have it, then no one can!"

Under her cold façade, Yun Yao had painstakingly prepared for so long. If someone else got there first, she didn't mind making a big move.

If she can't have it, then no one else will. She might as well spread the word.

When the time comes, it will be a gathering of wind and clouds, and we'll see who has the skills.

Lin Chang'an nodded solemnly at Yun Yao's thought.

The Immortal Cultivation Realm has always been this way. However, for now, only one sensing talisman is responding, so the relic hasn't likely been discovered yet.

...

Meanwhile, deep within the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, several cultivators were cautiously setting up until an array barrier slowly rose.

They hadn't discovered the Golden Core cultivator relic Yun Yao was investigating.

In fact, among the group of cultivators, there were familiar silhouettes.

"Brother Song, this time it's just us. There shouldn't be any mistakes."

The leader was none other than Song Tingfeng, the third disciple of Master Lu from Celestial Profound City.

Song Tingfeng's expression was extremely solemn as he cautiously surveyed the surroundings.

"The beast tide is escalating, and everyone is focused on Celestial Profound City. No one will suspect that Senior Sister Su is returning here to condense a core. You all came from the Demon Beast Abyss, seasoned veterans.

Once the Han Family's cultivators of Celestial Profound City commence the core formation phenomenon to draw attention, Senior Sister Su will condense her core immediately. By the time they realize the phenomenon, it will be too late..."

The eight who came along all nodded gravely.

"Brother Song, Master Lu saved my life. Risking it for Miss Su's core formation is worth it."

"Indeed, this place is so far from Celestial Profound City, and even if the thieves realize it, getting here means facing the demons along the way."

"Indeed, we're in deep even for us, and we had to be extremely cautious."

They all smiled.

This place for the core formation was found at the last minute.

With Su Miaoyin's presence, it was obvious what she intended.

So Song Tingfeng saw no point in hiding it.

Their combined effort laid the foundation for a Tier Three array. The spiritual energy of this place in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range was strong enough for Su Miaoyin's core formation.

Inside the array, Su Miaoyin looked gravely at everyone, though her thoughts drifted back to Celestial Profound City.

"Master, I wonder if this time we'll catch the big fish as you wished."
