Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 271 - 172: Fire-Devouring Demon Spirit (2)

"Brother Lin, Mr. Yun, I, Old Hu, won't take advantage of you for nothing. How about my family ancestor's insights into Core Formation?"

Old Hu knew well that collaboration must be founded on a basis. His sudden joining would naturally invite resentment. Leaving right away wasn't an option.

Not to mention his own reluctance, Lin Chang'an and Yun Yao wouldn't feel secure letting him go either.

It was better to be frank and show his sincerity.

"Insights into Core Formation?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'an and Yun Yao began to communicate secretly.

For a loose cultivator, insights into Core Formation are indeed invaluable.

"Old Hu, do you think we lack corresponding insights into Core Formation?"

In Lin Chang'an's indifferent tone, one set of insights into Core Formation was obviously not enough.

"Old Lin, your Secret Realm is still floating in the sky. Who knows if it has anything good?"

Though he said this, Old Hu helplessly grumbled, still revealing his trump card.

In fact, he wanted to test whether Old Lin and this Mr. Yun were resolute in targeting him.

If they agreed just for the insights into Core Formation, Old Hu would find a chance to escape, but if they continued to bargain, there was no sincerity for collaboration.

"Brother Lin, Mr. Yun, with our current cultivation level, we are still persisting in cultivation, pursuing nothing but Core Formation. What if I offer a Secret Technique to increase the chances of Core Formation to both of you?"

A Secret Technique to aid in Core Formation!

Lin Chang'an and Yun Yao's expressions tightened. If Old Hu had said so before, they naturally wouldn't have believed it.

But now, with Old Hu's Talisman Treasure and the so-called insights into Core Formation,

everything was clear; Old Hu's family background was significant.

"This Secret Technique was passed down by my ancestors. It compresses mana, bypasses the bottleneck of the Core Formation Stage, and enhances the success rate of Core Formation."

Old Hu spoke in a hoarse voice, directly recounting the beginning of this Secret Technique in front of the two.

The two were Foundation Establishment Cultivators for nearly a hundred years, naturally able to tell if the Secret Technique was genuine.

Their expressions changed.

"Mr. Hu, it seems you want to rely on this Secret Technique to enter the cavern relics."

Among the three, Yun Yao had the highest cultivation, and naturally wanted to obtain this Secret Technique the most.

Seeing the other party soften their stance, Old Hu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The Secret Technique was static, and it was not easy to cultivate.

But once the cavern relics were missed, there may not be another chance in the future.

"Old Lin, Mr. Yun, you don't even know what this Secret Realm holds, or if it can even fall into your hands.

But at least, if you let me, Old Hu, join, it won't end in vain, right?"

Listening to Old Hu, Lin Chang'an's gaze flickered; Old Hu had hidden well.

No wonder he never gave up pursuing the path of Core Formation all these years. With such a heritage, who wouldn't want to strive at least once?

"Using one's own cultivation technique with a Golden Core or Demon Core of the same attribute as a guide, then using this Secret Technique to activate True Fire for refining, can increase the chances of Core Formation..."

Hearing the profundity of this cultivation technique, Lin Chang'an was also a bit tempted.

Among the three present, he naturally had the poorest Spirit Root qualification. The exploration of the cavern relics held unknown dangers.

Just as Old Hu said, there might be nothing valuable, or it might be without reward. Such occurrences in the Immortal Cultivation Realm were not unheard of.

For a moment, Lin Chang'an and Yun Yao exchanged glances, then communicated secretly.

"Brother Lin, we both don't know what the cavern relics hold. We might come back empty-handed."

Lin Chang'an also nodded silently, this Secret Technique was solid and real.

Equivalent to securing a fallback even before exploring the cavern relics.

It seemed not a bad deal.

"Old Hu, let's set some terms. The items obtained from the cavern relics will be temporarily kept by Mr. Yun and me. Once we return to Celestial Profound City,

and you hand over the so-called Secret Technique, we'll then divide the spoils!"

Upon hearing this unfair treatment, not only did Old Hu not get angry, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Old Lin and Mr. Yun wanted this Secret Technique, they couldn't conspire against him.

Now, this was also his best way to break the impasse, three people as a unified line.

"Alright, I, Old Hu, owe you a life, Old Lin. I trust you, Old Lin; no matter what the Secret Realm yields, even if we return empty-handed,

this Secret Technique will be offered with both hands upon our return to Celestial Profound City."

Although Old Hu was usually nonchalant, he was serious when it came to important matters.

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, without fighting, how could he achieve Core Formation?

"Just to clarify, I discovered these cavern relics, and Brother Lin has already agreed: should there be a Core Formation Spiritual Object, I get first pick."

Yun Yao was also tempted, but how to divide this was another matter.

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, many have turned against each other over uneven distribution.

"Fine, you get first pick of any Core Formation Spiritual Object, but if there are any insights into Core Formation or cultivation techniques,

they should be copied, and the rest of the treasures will be evenly divided among us."

"Old Hu, that's unfair; we've been preparing for this cavern relic exploration for twenty years, you joining suddenly and taking a third..."

"Old Lin, my ancestor's Secret Technique for Core Formation is worthy, isn't it?"

Old Hu's eyes widened, proper interests must be contested.

"Old Hu, your Secret Technique may be good, but its cultivation conditions are harsh. Where am I going to find a Tier Three Demon Pill?"

"Old Lin, at least this provides a direction, better than being at a loss, isn't it?"

"Old Hu, with your family background, and ancestors who nearly formed a Nascent Soul, aren't there any other Secret Techniques?"

After some bargaining and negotiation, Old Hu's face turned green; Old Lin was too greedy.

Even at this point, he was still eyeing Old Hu's limited resources.
