The beast tide is imminent, and no one can say for sure when it will explode.
Moreover, with the black market thriving right now, he doesn't need to hunt demon beasts for the ti being. Instead, he can spend this ti cultivating this divine technique.
"Other powerful spells and divine techniques aren't as convenient as this one."
Although Huang Shaohai didn't provide him with any technical value, the foundation of sect cultivators is still considerable.
After carefully discerning many spells and divine techniques, he found that in terms of both power and potential, the Giant Sword Technique was undoubtedly the most suitable.
The Giant Sword Technique is used by many Golden Core cultivators and even Nascent Soul cultivators.
"It's not just the current beast tide turmoil, but also the secret realm that will appear in a dozen years. Mastering this divine technique to a certain extent also gives
more assurance."
Lin Chang'an continued with his monotonous yet enjoyable days.
Alchemy, talisman painting, cultivation, practicing divine spells, and regularly purchasing so jade scrolls to increase his understanding of the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
...
[Life Span: 74/245]
This year, Lin Chang'an is seventy-four years old.
Inside a shop in the East District of Celestial Profound City's black market.
This month, Old Hu, who is overseeing the black market, showed a bright smile when he saw the figure wearing a bamboo hat.
"Pill Master, you're really punctual, not wasting a single mont."
Besides Old Hu, there were also two Qi Refining Perfection cultivators, who were obviously nervous and excited.
"Is it these two?"
Lin Chang'an used the Phantom Mask to disguise himself as the mana aura of this Pill Master. Not to ntion Old Hu, even Fake Pill cultivators without special abilities couldn't see through it.
"Greetings, Elder Pill Master!"
The two people bowed respectfully, and Old Hu laughed heartily:
"Mr. Pill Master, these are the two young friends."
The Pill Master disguised by Lin Chang'an looked indifferent. After a slight nod, he spoke hoarsely:
"If so, you should understand the rules."
"Yes! We understand naturally, these are our Foundation Establishnt materials."
The two Qi Refining cultivators respectfully took out the Foundation Establishnt materials, and after Lin Chang'an checked them and confird there was no mistake, he nodded with satisfaction.
Then he waved his hand, collecting all the Foundation Establishnt materials and fees into his storage bag.
In the eager eyes of the two cultivators, Lin Chang'an smiled calmly and brought out six jade bottles with a gesture.
Four of the jade bottles landed in Old Hu's hands.
"Two genuine Foundation Establishnt Pills, check them carefully. If there's no mistake, leave through the secret path of the shop here in the black market.
As long as you two are not exposed, no one dares to make a move."
Looking at the Foundation Establishnt Pills in the jade bottles, the hands of the two Qi Refining Perfection cultivators couldn't help but tremble with excitent: "Thank you, Senior, we will certainly rember this."
Lin Chang'an naturally understood the excitent of the two Qi Refining cultivators.
And looking at the four Foundation Establishnt Pills in his hand, Old Hu smiled broadly and clasped his hands together:
"Mr. Pill Master, don't worry, these four Foundation Establishnt Pills in the store will be sold without losing a fraction."
This scene was also staged for the other two to see, and at this mont, the two were also shocked and eager in their hearts.
The black market has a background that connects the heavens and imnse capabilities.
Then Old Hu waved to the two and said: "Two young friends, co with , you will leave from different entrances.
Here's a suggestion, don't expose the Foundation Establishnt Pills, and it's best to close up quickly for a breakthrough."
"Yes! Thank you, Senior."
"Oh, right, there are so Foundation Establishnt experiences available for purchase at my shop."
"Ah!?" The two were stunned, but thinking that they had invested all their wealth into the Foundation Establishnt Pills,
they bit their lips and decided to buy the Foundation Establishnt experience notes to increase their chances of success.
After the business transaction was completed, just as the Pill Master Lin Chang'an had disguised himself as was about to turn and leave, Old Hu cheerfully called out to him.
"Hey hey, Mr. Pill Master, do you still have any Tier Two elixirs that enhance cultivation?"
Looking at Old Hu, Lin Chang'an said in surprise, "Mr. Hu, don't you usually avoid using elixirs to enhance cultivation?"
"Not for , but for my friend's son, who just established his Foundation a couple of years ago, but his cultivation is sowhat shallow. With the unrest of the demon beasts outside recently."
Facing Old Hu's familiar deanor with anyone, Lin Chang'an shook his head speechlessly, but he raised his hand, and three jade bottles appeared.
"One pill per jade bottle, all lower-grade Tier Two elixirs, priced as usual."
"Oh, Mr. Pill Master, given our relationship, can't it be a bit cheaper?"
"The black market benefits granted by Mr. Lin gave
less than ten percent. Do you think I can make it cheaper?"
The hoarse rhetorical question from the Pill Master left Old Hu speechless. He thought to himself, Lin brother really has a heart of stone.
For a Tier Two middle-grade Pill Master, given less than ten percent of the benefits.
However, since the Pill Master didn't want to show himself or invest, receiving less than ten percent was normal.
"Alright, alright, Mr. Pill Master, rember to leave so for
in the future if you have these elixirs."
"Mhm."
After the transaction, the Pill Master Lin Chang'an had disguised himself as left, while Old Hu remained in the black market.
A middle-stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator, no ruffians dare to cause trouble in the black market.
The cultivators who co to the black market may mostly be ruthless outside, but they understand the word 'rules' best.
Here, even just the monthly stall fees accumulated can provide them a decent inco.
Looking at the prosperity of the black market, Lin Chang'an was filled with countless emotions.
Once upon a ti, when he ca to the black market, he was one of the many, carefully hiding his identity.
And now, how many years have passed, and he has beco the puppet master behind a black market.
This made Lin Chang'an feel a sense of impermanence, who could have predicted his future successes.
One should not overestimate oneself, nor underestimate oneself too much.
"Unknowingly, I've grown to this stage."
Then, Lin Chang'an took a Dust Avoidance Pill and disappeared into the black market.
The Dust Avoidance Pill can erase the aura within a cultivator's body, a detail he noticed after being targeted by Huang Shaohai last ti.
So auras can only be sensed by certain special demon beasts.
But the Dust Avoidance Pill can cleanse the cultivator's own aura.
Since the purge of Tribulation Cultivators in Celestial Profound City last ti, countless loose cultivators beca aware of the thods of Tribulation Cultivators, leading to the Dust Avoidance Pill gaining popularity.
...
With the increasingly frequent riots of demon beasts in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, even a few flying demon beasts hovered over Celestial Profound City recently.
Although they were eventually killed or scared away, it still unsettled people.
For a ti, Celestial Profound City was accompanied by rampant and escalating rumors. The entire Immortal City beca panicked.
Sayings like Master Lu, the Black Tortoise of Words, is reaching the end of his life span, and hasn't been seen for several years, etc.
So loose cultivators dare to take risks, but those with family and clan often have no choice.
Countless cultivators are preparing to abandon their legacies and seek routes to other places.
Although the spiritual energy there can't compare to Celestial Profound City, overall, it seems more stable.
So dare to fight, while others seek stability.
Inside a cave residence.
"Congratulations, Brother Lin."
Zhou Bingyun, with a big smile, ca with Spirit Feeding Pills for nurturing spirit pets, and Lin Chang'an nodded while smiling.
"Miss Zhou, my behind-the-scenes black market business can't compare to the Zhou Family's enterprise."
This he said honestly, as in recent years, the Zhou Family has thrived trendously with their unique Beast Taming brand.
anwhile, they are also tightly connected to Celestial Profound City.
"That's different, Brother Lin. You've made it by yourself, while our Zhou Family has relied on the family assets accumulated by our ancestors over generations.
Then, with luck, we caught the favorable winds of Celestial Profound City, and only then did we rise."
The Zhou Family's expansion hasn't made Zhou Bingyun overconfident. Instead, she soberly recognizes that the Zhou Family's achievents today rely on certain things.
In this, Lin Chang'an could deeply relate, as he too caught the favorable winds of Celestial Profound City, allowing him to rise.
Many cultivators are like this, as aptitude, perception, and perseverance are one thing, but sotis, if luck isn't on your side, achieving Foundation Establishnt in a small market is extrely difficult.
"The Zhou Family now has five Foundation Establishnt cultivators, and it probably won't be long before there's another female Foundation Establishnt cultivator, right?"
Lin Chang'an looked at Zhou Bingyun with a deep aning in his eyes; he had watched this girl grow along the way.
She knows when to advance and retreat, understands boundaries, and ordinary people usually wouldn't have the mindset to polish themselves for a few more years even after reaching the Qi Refining Perfection Realm.
"Brother Lin, don't tease . Foundation Establishnt isn't that simple."
Zhou Bingyun, although she has a middle-grade Spirit Root, felt uncertain when ntioning this matter. Her visit this ti was also for this reason.
