Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 205 Counterattack
"Senior Lei, I would like to purchase some flesh and blood of third-tier demonic beasts, as well as leather armor materials from third-tier demonic beasts."

Lin Chang'an bowed respectfully, explaining his purpose.

Upon hearing that he had a big customer, the butcher surnamed Lei immediately forced a smile onto his chubby face.

"Good, good, I didn't expect you to be such a big client."

Faced with the fake Core Formation cultivator's enthusiastic smile, Lin Chang'an dared not be careless in the slightest, nodded respectfully, and then went to the side.

He opened his door to do business, and although he seemed rude, he was actually quite shrewd. With a smile on his face, he instructed his men to chop meat for him while secretly communicating with them telepathically.

"Young friend, which part of the monster's hide armor do you want? You should know that the price of hide armor varies depending on the part of the monster."

"Senior, my friend and I want to make an inner armor, and we'd like to have a part made of high-quality material."

"The inner armor, that requires a softer material, and it's not cheap."

Lin Chang'an exchanged pleasantries respectfully, but upon hearing the price, he couldn't help but show a pained expression.

So dark.

This price is three points more expensive than what he had heard before.

But there's nothing we can do; this is what people do for a living in this area.

Lin Chang'an didn't haggle and completed the transaction quickly and efficiently.

Upon receiving the spirit stone, the fat butcher Lei immediately revealed a hearty smile.

"Good, young brother, you're straightforward. I, 'Fatty Lei,' like straightforward people like you. Although these beast hide armors are from previous stock, the beast flesh and blood are absolutely the freshest."

With a broad smile on his face, Lei Pangzi wished that the near-third-tier demonic beast inside the iron cage behind him hadn't screamed in agony.

Lin Chang'an could see clearly that the near-third-tier demonic beast was being sliced ​​apart by the puppet while roaring in pain, but the demonic beast's powerful physique made it difficult to kill.

Then they continued to feed the monster to help it recover from its injuries, thus achieving the purpose of repeated use.

However, third-tier demonic beasts are different. Even a pseudo-core cultivator doesn't have the ability to imprison a live one and torture it like this.

A huge, succulent piece of monster meat was taken out from behind and carefully sliced ​​into thin pieces by the puppet.

The monster's blood was contained in a wine jar.

In the end, Lin Chang'an couldn't resist buying two more bones from third-tier demonic beasts, as these were highly nourishing for both medicinal baths and soups.

When Fatty Lei saw the deal, he couldn't help but burst into laughter and pat his belly.

"Young friend, you're a straightforward fellow. I, Fatty Lei, will give you another three catties of monster meat."

"Thank you very much, Senior Lei."

"Don't call me senior. When you come here to see me in the future, just call me Fatty Lei."

Seeing this, Lin Chang'an gave an awkward smile, but he really didn't dare to call the fake Core Formation cultivator "Fatty Lei".

The difference in their cultivation levels is like heaven and earth.

The fact that he's so happy clearly means he's pleased that he bought so much stuff at once, especially considering the high prices here.

Just as Lin Chang'an respectfully collected the monster meat and blood and was about to leave, Fatty Lei looked around at the many people in the room, his smiling face suddenly changed, and he snorted coldly.

"Anyone who dares to stalk in my shop, Fatty Lei, should pray that I don't find out, otherwise I might chop them up and put them here for sale one day."

Lin Chang'an's expression instantly hardened, realizing that this Fatty Lei was warning someone.

But out of the corner of his eye, he saw the corpse of a Foundation Establishment cultivator being hung directly on an iron hook.

"Isn't this the third brother of the He family?"

"They even managed to be sold here."

The Foundation Establishment cultivator, He Laosan, on the iron hook, stared with unseeing eyes as the puppet sliced ​​him to pieces in full view of everyone.

"The flesh and blood of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator! This is incredibly nourishing. Are there any fellow cultivators who need it? Even if you don't need it yourself, feeding it to your spirit pet is also a great way to nourish it..."

"I want it, but my python is starving, so don't chop it up for me."

"Give me the cultivator's essence blood..."

Seeing the bustling business, Lin Chang'an took a deep breath and walked out of the butcher shop.

He had made preparations before he came.

"This place is indeed extremely vicious. It is obvious that the cultivator who just bought the essence blood is using the blood of other cultivators to cultivate demonic techniques."

Having lived for over a hundred years, Lin Chang'an knew that cannibalism existed even among ordinary people, so he wasn't surprised.

He was secretly alarmed by what he had just observed.

He could clearly sense the domineering, complex, and chaotic magical power within the body of a cultivator whose qi and blood were abnormal.

Many demonic cultivation techniques are like this: they are powerful and allow for rapid progress in cultivation, but they also come with great drawbacks.

"Although it is a chaotic place, there are also chaotic rules within the chaos."

Lin Chang'an shook his head and stopped thinking about these things. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief, finally finding the materials for the talisman he had been planning for so long.

The animal hide can be used to make talisman paper, so the essence blood of the demon beasts he bought earlier, although a highly nourishing substance, can also be used to make cinnabar.

The meat of third-tier demon beasts is highly nutritious and greatly beneficial for cultivation, whether it's body refinement or other aspects.

He has finally achieved his goal in coming here.

"Although it was somewhat dangerous, I will begin preparing to create the talisman after returning home."

Lin Chang'an felt that he was quite lucky. He had originally thought that he would come and take a look first, but it might not be so suitable.

To my surprise, I managed to buy them all.

"Fortunately, the attributes of this magic weapon are not so demanding."

The Blood Fiend Sword is a type of magical artifact belonging to the demonic path. It is made of metallic materials and is imbued with the aura of blood fiends.

It can be said that as long as it's not lightning-type or has anti-magic properties, it can be made.

Lin Chang'an then strolled around the market for a while. Prices were relatively high there, so he only bought some rare materials.

After all, although he had a lot of spirit stones, he didn't need to waste them like this.

He then contacted Hu Jin using a communication talisman. The two of them had also purchased some rare supplies and met in the market to prepare to leave.

……

Within this market, the cultivators all wore menacing and ferocious expressions, seemingly like those undergoing tribulation.

Several people were secretly watching the two figures from behind and began to exchange words in secret.

"These two definitely have a lot of spirit stones on them. Although my spirit pet is not very helpful in combat, it can smell anything as long as the other party is carrying a large number of spirit stones."

One of the masked monks spoke in a gloomy tone, while the other two nodded in agreement.

"We followed them for a while, and we found that they were buying materials that are unique to our area. It seems that they are outsiders, not locals."

People like Lin Chang'an and Hu Jin, who procure special materials, can be identified by anyone who keeps a close eye on them.

They simply didn't want to waste spirit stones and instead bought materials that could be purchased elsewhere.

"Two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, and a few more."

"Outsiders, if you had connections, why would you risk coming here to buy things? Come on!"

……

Lin Chang'an and Hu Jin left the market and took advantage of the dim night to fly on their swords.

"Old Lin, we've been followed. Looks like we're being watched."

After leaving the market, Hu Jin realized he was being watched, and Lin Chang'an also frowned.

"I didn't expect that even though we were so cautious, we were still being watched."

"There's nothing we can do. Although our malevolent energy is not bad either, some experienced people can still tell the difference."

Old Hu said in a deep voice, “Any cultivator hiding here can be considered a desperate fugitive.”

The two flew at great speed on their swords, but the person behind them was also quite fast, which dashed Lin Chang'an's hopes of shaking off the person behind him.

However, out of caution, Lin Chang'an frowned and pondered for a moment before raising his hand to summon the flying boat he had previously obtained from the female cultivator from his storage bag.

"Old Hu, I bought this flying boat at the market. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to modify it when I get back."

As Lin Chang'an summoned the flying boat, Hu Jin sat on it and couldn't help but show an envious expression.

"A top-of-the-line flying boat, Old Lin, you're really willing to part with it."

"It's for saving my life. If I'm not careful, I might die one day."

Lin Chang'an said irritably, not afraid that Lao Hu would reveal the spirit boat.

After all, buying spiritual artifacts in the market of Tongtian Wuhai is almost always done in a clandestine manner.

Therefore, it was perfectly reasonable for Lin Chang'an to ask Lao Hu to modify the appearance. This was also the first choice for many cultivators after acquiring magical artifacts that couldn't be made public.

After all, it's best to avoid some misunderstandings if possible.

"If you ask me to forge a top-grade spiritual weapon for you, I, Old Hu, don't have that skill, but if you want me to modify its appearance, that's very easy."

Old Hu patted his chest and assured him.

After the two switched to the flying boat, their speed increased significantly.

As the airship sped along, its speed increased dramatically.

However, the five people chasing behind them had clearly noticed the speed at which the cultivator in front was fleeing.

"It's a big fish, it even has a top-grade spiritual artifact flying boat."

"Everyone, stop hiding your secrets. I have a top-grade flying artifact here. I want an extra 10% of the spoils later."

"it is good!"

Behind them, five cultivators, their faces cold and indifferent, each summoned a gourd-shaped flying artifact and rushed forward at an extremely fast speed.

……

During this chase, Lin Chang'an and Lao Hu frowned upon seeing each other.

"They really are persistent."

Lin Chang'an and Hu Jin exchanged a glance, both revealing a hint of murderous intent.

Although the two were independent cultivators and did not usually want to cause trouble, it did not mean they were afraid of trouble.

The cultivators here were all outcasts who fought their way out of this place, just as they were outcasts who fought their way out of this place.

"Haha, fellow Daoists ahead, leave your storage bags and we will let you go."

A shout came from behind, but one of them coldly snorted and disappeared into the sea. The next moment, a water-attribute monster rushed forward at a speed no slower than the flying boat.

"kill!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Chang'an and Hu Jin unleashed their killing moves.

Lin Chang'an unleashed nine second-tier high-grade Thunderclap Talismans, tearing through the void, and nine lightning spears arrived in an instant.

This caused the expressions of the several cultivators behind him to change drastically.

"furious!"

"Stay here, you bastard!"

Old Hu, however, ruthlessly unleashed a gourd, from which sparkling beads transformed into streaks of light and hurtled towards him.

"Try my Thunderbolt Pearl!"

As a weapon refiner, Hu Jin doesn't usually refine terrifying explosive thunderbolts like these. These are all made from leftover materials that he usually saves up, and then he combines them with true fire to refine them.

Extremely powerful.

"Go to hell!"

The five cultivators were all ruthless veterans with rich combat experience, but it was precisely because of their combined efforts that they were able to survive.

Instead of unleashing their full combat power, they all thought to hold back and unleash their full strength when it came time to divide the spoils.

Fighting fiercely isn't a skill; the real ability lies in having the strength to divide the spoils after the battle.

Lin Chang'an and Lao Hu, however, displayed extremely strong combat power when fighting against the five.

However, in the midst of the chaotic battle, Lin Chang'an suddenly seized the opportunity to launch several talismans as a feint attack, and then turned around and escaped on a flying boat.

"Old Lin! You bastard!"

"Old Hu, I'm sorry, there are just too many enemies."

This sudden turn of events left Lao Hu utterly astonished, while the five Tribulation Cultivators seized the opportunity to burst into mocking laughter.

"Haha, looks like your companion is unreliable."

"Stay."

Old Hu, who had been tossed into the air alone, had a look of madness on his face and roared:
"Since you're not giving me a way out, then let's die together!"

As the deafening explosion echoed behind him, Lin Chang'an, who had fled ahead of time, wore a strange expression.

He was confident that Lao Hu could hold on, after all, Lao Hu still had the talisman treasure.

"This place is extremely dangerous. We must finish this quickly, otherwise we will attract other cultivators and cause trouble."

Lin Chang'an's solemn gaze locked onto a small reef island in front of him.

This is it!
……

"Where do you think you're going to run to?"

"Kid, if you run again and I catch you, you're in for a world of trouble!"

Faced with the pursuit of five Tribulation cultivators, Old Hu, covered in dust and grime, fled in a panic.

However, the five cultivators behind him only had greed in their eyes.

The man's magical artifacts and magical implements were one after another; he was like a giant fish.

It was indeed a tricky situation; the five of them managed to escape even when they worked together.

However, each of the five harbored their own secrets, their eyes darting around in secret, and they all held back a fraction of their strength.

After all, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator who works hard is still quite formidable.

Under the thunderous magical attack, the sound that reached Old Hu's ears made his expression change instantly. He then pretended to be hit by a spell and fell awkwardly from the air into the water.

puff!

Amidst the splashing water, Old Hu emerged from the sea in a disheveled state, a sight that prompted the five men to nod in approval.

It seems this person has truly run out of ideas.

"What are we waiting for? Let's join forces and take this guy down so that others won't target him."

"Alright, let's stop hiding our secrets and get going."

With a roar, Lao Hu tumbled down again, this time heading towards a distant reef island.

Meanwhile, Lin Chang'an, hidden in the shadows on the reef island, watched the five cultivators and couldn't help but curse inwardly, thinking how cunning these people were.

Even when facing one person, they maintained an extremely vigilant formation.

If the formation is activated, it can only trap three people; there are two that cannot be captured at all.

However, he did not hesitate at all, for the opportunity was fleeting!
[Blood Fiend Crimson Sun Formation - Activated]

In an instant, a blood-red array barrier instantly enveloped the reef island.

"Not good, there is an ambush."

The cultivator riding a water beast cried out in lingering fear, just as he was thankful for his caution, when a sword beam shot out from underwater.

It was Lin Chang'an, who had been hiding below, who, with his sword light fully charged, instantly appeared in front of his opponent.

Under the incredulous gaze of the other party, the sword light unleashed terrifying power.

"How can it be!"

Seeing his defensive magical artifact being knocked away with a single blow, its spiritual light dimmed and even cracks appearing on his magical shield, he was shocked.

The cultivator was terrified and his expression changed drastically. Just then, a golden light struck from behind.

Click!

The magical shield shattered instantly, and before the cultivator could react, his head exploded like a watermelon.

Its remaining power was undiminished; even his water-attribute spirit pet was pierced through, and with a beastly roar, a large amount of blood appeared on the surface of the water.

When the golden light reappeared, the golden phoenix, with a second-tier demon core in its beak, grabbed the storage bag that the cultivator was still holding.

All of this happened in an instant.

Only one cultivator remained, filled with fear, but what awaited him was Lin Chang'an's terrifying sword light.

"How can you be so strong!"

A condensed sword aura surrounded Lin Chang'an, capable of both offense and defense.

"It's too late to escape now."

Lin Chang'an sneered, but seeing that the Phoenix Bird still remembered to collect its spoils after doing all this, he cursed inwardly.

"What are you still doing?"

That bird is such a money-grubber!
