Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 244 - 161: Celestial Profound City’s Second Core Formation

After the wind and snow, Celestial Profound City was once again filled with the vibrant energy of all living things.

[Life Span: 79/247]

[Realm: Mid-stage Foundation Establishment (24/100)]

Inside the cave dwelling, as his cultivation session concluded, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but smile at his steadily growing cultivation.

"The beast tide has lasted nearly eight months, and now the Demon Beasts outside are showing signs of fatigue. Those three Tier Three Demon Beasts haven't been seen for a long time. Could it be that it's almost over?"

Stepping out of the cave dwelling and into the city, Lin Chang'an shook his head as he looked at the desolate Immortal City.

Now, countless cultivators are outside hunting Demon Beasts, so it's understandable that there are fewer cultivators inside the city.

But now the cultivators inside the city look bewildered, and the light in their eyes that they had when they first joined Celestial Profound City has disappeared.

It seems as if the future of Celestial Profound City is bleak.

"If the situation in Yue Kingdom changes drastically, losing all my assets would be a small matter; finding a way out is the most important thing."

Lin Chang'an pondered silently, considering the situation during this period.

Now that his cultivation has reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment and he has two top-grade spiritual artifacts for attack and defense, his overall combat strength is not inferior to cultivators at Foundation Establishment Perfection.

Not to mention that he also has his trump card, the Talisman Treasure.

"With my current strength sufficient to protect myself, perhaps if the situation in Yue Kingdom goes awry, I could first go to the Demon Beast Abyss with Old Hu and Yun Yao."

After all, the resources in the Demon Beast Abyss are rich, far beyond what the Seven Kingdoms can offer.

Moreover, they must visit it if they plan to reach Core Formation in the future.

However, the Demon Beast Abyss is equally perilous. If stability is desired, other nations would naturally be the first choice.

"But there is also this cave dwelling relic. Hopefully, Profound Sound Pavilion and Celestial Profound City can hold on a bit longer."

If things go awry, they would have to flee first, and as for the cave dwelling relic, they could only take a look before leaving, to see if they can enter.

If not, they would wait until later when the array weakens, and then return to see if they can seize this opportunity.

"It shouldn't be a big problem. If both Celestial Profound City and Profound Sound Pavilion retreat in defeat, the two major sects will be eager to divide and digest the resources, slowing down their exploration of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range comparatively."

In deep thought, Lin Chang'an arrived at the Gathering Immortals Tower. In the past six months, not only had Shen Lie's business grown quieter, but their black market had also been silent for a while.

The reason is that most cultivators are on the front lines and busy hunting Demon Beasts.

Good things will only appear after the beast tide, and Celestial Profound City will then welcome another burst of activity.

"Brother Lin."

Climbing the Gathering Immortals Tower, seeing the sluggish business, Shen Lie also approached with leisure.

"It's still the same as ever."

"Brother Lin, rest assured, I'll accompany you to lighten the mood later."

With a smile on his face, Shen Lie showed that one must have a good attitude in business.

You can't just focus on times when business is good; you must also accept quieter times.

This attitude made Lin Chang'an commend Shen Lie, who truly has the knack for business.

No wonder he can quickly establish a business no matter where he goes; such a mindset is rare among ordinary people.

Later, on the top floor, Shen Lie, with a relaxed smile, poured wine for Lin Chang'an.

On the table were several exquisite spiritual dishes.

"Brother Lin, have a taste of this Spirit Flesh. Though business is sluggish, the quality of Spirit Beast Meat in Celestial Profound City has significantly improved."

"Yes, not bad. This bird is usually rare."

After taking a bite with his chopsticks, Lin Chang'an also showed a satisfied smile.

Thanks to the beast tide, the price of Demon Beast Meat has continuously dropped over the past six months, allowing many low-tier cultivators to savor the taste of high-level Spirit Beast Meat.

Simultaneously, the surge in resources from Demon Beasts has accelerated the cultivation speed of low-tier cultivators.

As they chatted leisurely, Shen Lie shifted the topic to the future of Celestial Profound City.

"Sigh, now rumors are spreading that Master Lu's lifespan is nearing its end, and on the battlefield, the situation for Profound Sound Pavilion is not looking good. People in the city are in a state of panic.

Many plan to travel to other countries after the beast tide passes."

Saying this, Shen Lie lowered his voice and whispered:

"During the beast tide, cultivators from sects and noble families in the Seven Kingdoms have privately recruited many cultivators.

Those with high cultivation go to serve as tributors or honored guest elders, while those with lower cultivation continue their life as they were, as loose cultivators."

Listening to Shen Lie, Lin Chang'an raised his wine glass and sighed lightly.

"Yes, although leaving home means no longer having this sacred land of cultivation in Celestial Profound City, most cultivators still want to find a stable place."

No cultivator doesn't want to find a place rich in spiritual energy, a stable place for cultivation.

But it's too difficult for loose cultivators.

Even disciples from sects and noble families often get caught up in conflict due to sect rivalries, dragged into war.

Looking at the vibrant green of Celestial Profound City's revival, starkly contrasted with the cultivators' bewilderment.

"Let's not worry about these things for now. Since the Spirit Field and store purchases have stopped, the priority is to take advantage and accumulate more Spirit Stones."

After all, if you need to relocate, you'll definitely use more Spirit Stones."

Putting down the wine glass, Lin Chang'an looked at the scenery of Celestial Profound City, shook his head, and slowly got up to purchase some supplies again when suddenly!

Celestial Profound City witnessed a sudden mystical phenomenon!

"Look quickly! What is that?"

The sudden phenomenon startled many cultivators, who exclaimed as they looked up at the sky above Celestial Profound City.

Even a hundred miles outside Celestial Profound City, cultivators stationed at various outposts hunting Demon Beasts seemed to sense something.

At this moment, within a hundred miles around Celestial Profound City, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy was unusually agitated.

"No, this spiritual energy disturbance, my heavens, it's someone forming their Core!"

Cultivators a hundred miles away were all shocked, staring toward Celestial Profound City.
