Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 213 Talisman Treasure: Blood Fiend Sword [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

"Fellow Daoist Lin, please come in quickly, my husband is not here."

Upon arriving outside Madam Wen's cave, the sound that emanated from there immediately startled Lin Chang'an.

He looked up at the blazing sun. It wasn't nighttime, but he felt that something was off about Madam Wen.

A flash of spiritual insight crossed Lin Chang'an's eyes, and a smile appeared on his lips as he stood outside the cave. He then entered the cave with a smile.

"Mrs. Wen."

Outside the elegant cave, Madam Wen sat gracefully at a stone table under a peach tree, seemingly having been waiting for quite some time.

She wore a gauze palace dress, which clearly showed her delicate collarbone. The skirt was slit, revealing a pair of bare feet.

This is not right!

When Lin Chang'an entered, he saw this pleasing scene before him.

"Madam Wen, this..."

However, upon seeing Lin Chang'an's hesitant expression, Madam Wen's usually dignified face revealed a seductive charm.

Smiling, she slowly rose, still holding a wine glass between her jade-like fingers, and walked up to him.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, why don't we go inside and talk?"

With the soft jade in my arms and the wine cup already at my lips, a restless impulse arose within me.

Lin Chang'an first cautiously observed his surroundings, but upon finding no one there, he said in a low voice:

"Madam Wen, wasn't it supposed to be a clue about a Core Formation Spiritual Item?"

Lin Chang'an appeared tempted, but still prioritized cultivating immortality above all else.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, am I not as valuable as a clue to a Core Formation spiritual object?"

Before Lin Chang'an could say anything, Madam Wen spoke in a plaintive voice:
"Ever since we arrived here, that guy surnamed Wen has been fooling around outside. Isn't it just because I broke through to the late Foundation Establishment stage while he's stuck at the bottleneck...?"

"Fellow Daoist Lin, why don't you help me back? I'll discuss the clues about the Core Formation spiritual object and everything else with you in detail."

"I have also invited Fellow Daoist Hu, but it will be three hours from now."

As the alluring voice echoed, Lin Chang'an's heart stirred, and he immediately wrapped his hand around that slender waist.

Madam Wen clearly sensed the rampage of the large hand and immediately revealed a charming smile.

"I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Lin to be a hypocrite, just like that dead ghost. But if that dead ghost can fool around, so can I..."

Her enchanting voice melts the heart.

With the wine glass at his lips, Lin Chang'an accepted the offer and drank it down in one gulp.

The next moment, to Madam Wen's exclamation, she was lifted up by the waist.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Madam Wen, I'm afraid three hours won't be enough."

Lin Chang'an squinted and chuckled as he spoke, which startled Madam Wen, who then let out a charming laugh.

"Three hours? Fellow Daoist Lin, you really dare to say that. I'd like to have a good taste of what it's like."

No man would say no to this.

But Lin Chang'an raised an eyebrow, revealing a strange smile as he teased:

"Is that so? Does that mean that Fellow Daoist Fang, a late-stage second-tier body cultivator, is not enough for Madam Wen to savor? Or perhaps we should add Fellow Daoist Wen hiding in the cave as well?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Wen's expression changed drastically. However, the next moment, she felt a sharp pain in her chest, and her face paled with fear.

"..."

She opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but Madam Wen, in her terrified state, could not utter a sound, and even the magic power within her body did not react.

"Mrs. Wen, please don't waste my good intentions."

Hearing Lin Chang'an's voice, Madam Wen was completely unable to move and could only watch in horror as Lin Chang'an manipulated her body.

Lin Chang'an, who was holding Madam Wen's waist, slowly loosened his grip on her chest with a smile on his face.

A green, gleaming poisonous needle was inserted into Madam Wen's chest at the Tanzhong acupoint.

The terrifying poison, aimed directly at vital organs, filled Madam Wen's terrified eyes with a pleading look; she could feel her life force slipping away.

If Madam Wen hadn't given him this opportunity at such close range, he wouldn't have been able to capture a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator so easily.

At this moment, two figures were hidden inside the cave. One of them even revealed his anger as he embraced Madam Wen and danced under the peach tree.

It was simply a romantic scene under the moon!

"Damn it, this Lin brother is really something else, such a hypocrite. And this second sister, why is she still dawdling?"

This fellow Daoist Wen, hiding in his cave, watched his wife flirting with someone, and instead of being angry, he addressed her as "Second Sister."

Fang Tie, who was in the lead, frowned as if he had noticed something, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Oh no! Second Sister has been taken into custody!"

Just then, two flashes of cold light shot directly into the cave, and Lin Chang'an sneered:

"Fellow Daoists, have you seen enough?"

Amidst the cold light, a metallic clanging sound came from inside the cave, followed by two figures rushing out.

Especially that fellow Daoist Wen, who roared angrily.

“Hey Lin, even if you scream your lungs out inside this cave, no one outside will hear you.”

Fang Tie, who was in the lead, stared intently at Lin Chang'an. Seeing the formation inside the cave activated, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fellow Daoist Lin is quite capable, having already detected us. It seems everyone outside has underestimated you."

Despite the cold voice echoing around him, Lin Chang'an calmly watched the two of them, two flying needles swirling around his body.

"Fellow Daoist Wen, Fellow Daoist Fang, or rather, the three of you are truly hiding yourselves very well."

He had sensed something was wrong ever since the last banquet at the Lu family's house.

According to the information provided by the Wen couple, they were a loving couple who had gone through thick and thin together, supporting each other all the way. How could they suddenly start having affairs with outsiders?

He sensed something was wrong when Madam Wen invited him today, and sure enough, it turned out to be true.

Since entering the cave, the alluring scent of Madam Wen, the fragrance of peach blossoms in the air, combined with this wine, had become utterly poisonous.

He could also clearly sense that there were people surnamed Wen and Fang Tie inside the cave.

He didn't think these two fellow Daoists had any special quirks.

It's obvious that these three people are the ones with problems.

"Second sister!"

At this moment, as Lin Chang'an casually released Madam Wen from his arms, it was seen that starting from Madam Wen's chest, dense and fine veins appeared and spread in a dark blue color.

"court death!"

Just as they were about to make their move, a golden light flashed out.

The phoenix transformed into a golden light, attacking with lightning speed. The two hurriedly activated the formation.

Instead, the formation seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, showing no reaction whatsoever.

When he arrived outside the cave, the cautious man secretly tampered with the opponent's array plate.

With his abilities as a second-tier array master, it would be incredibly easy for him to quietly tamper with an array plate that wasn't operating at full capacity.

"Brother, there's something wrong with the formation!"

When the man surnamed Wen shouted, Fang Tie didn't hesitate at all. A halberd appeared in his hand, and he attacked directly at him.

Facing two Foundation Establishment cultivators, especially one of whom was a Body Cultivator, Lin Chang'an dared not be careless in the slightest.

With a wave of his hand, the golden bell at his waist transformed into a golden phantom, enveloping him completely.

At the same time, a sword shadow exuding a terrifying aura attacked Fang Tie, the body cultivator.

The flying needles transformed into cold light, swiftly attacking the two along with the phoenix.

"I never expected that Master Lin was so unassuming; he's actually a formation master!"

During the battle, Fang Tie, a body cultivator, looked grim, as he hadn't expected that the formations they had prepared would all fail.

"Third brother, take second sister and leave quickly, we can't stay here!"

Upon seeing Lin Chang'an's large bell, which resembled a tortoise shell covering the cave, the eldest brother, Fang Tie, roared and made as if to flee. However, Lin Chang'an formed a hand seal, and the cave's array instantly sealed off the surroundings.

"Trying to leave? You three fellow Daoists have tricked me with clues about Core Formation spiritual objects. You'd better stay today."

Lin Chang'an sneered; he would not let go of such two powerful potential threats.

"Haha, the clue to the Core Formation Spiritual Object is indeed true, but we are still lacking some resources. Since Fellow Daoist Lin does not want to let the three of us go."

"Then leave behind Fellow Daoist Lin's savings accumulated over the years to pave the way for the three of us!"

Fang Tie's ferocious cold shout clearly showed that he had already torn away the pretense.

For a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, preparing spiritual items for Core Formation is extremely difficult.

Among them, some people take shortcuts, namely targeting the accumulation of years of experience in the later stages of Foundation Establishment.

"Moo!"

A furious bull's moo suddenly came from within the illusory image of the golden bell, causing Fang Tie's expression to change drastically.

The next moment, a furious green-horned bull, its nostrils flaring with white steam, charged out.

"Two Tier 2 spirit pets, they've been hiding them very well!"

However, during the battle, Madam Wen, who had just been thrown under the peach tree, looked pained, and at this moment she had several second-tier explosive talismans stuck to her waist.

The slightest movement would result in her being shattered to pieces, yet at this moment her pupils dilated, as if she had witnessed something unbelievable.

This Lady Wen forcibly circulated her internal magical power, spitting out a mouthful of blood essence, and shouted:

"Big brother, third brother, run! A talisman! It's a talisman..."

The heart-wrenching screams echoed, and Lin Chang'an, who was using the golden bell as cover, saw that Madam Wen was disregarding his life and death, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"I never expected you two to be so deeply devoted to each other!"

Inside the golden bell, Lin Chang'an's fingertips were holding a talisman that shimmered with terrifying power, and a talisman filled with bloodthirsty aura had already taken shape.

Facing a late-stage Foundation Establishment body cultivator and a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, he had no intention of wasting time.

He would rather waste a talisman to kill the two as quickly as possible.

After all, the temporary formation in this cave is not very strong.

"Second Sister!" the cultivator surnamed Wen shouted angrily. After seeing his second sister remind them, he spat out a mouthful of blood essence and revealed a cruel smile on his face.

It's obvious that the situation has completely reversed.

"Lin Chang'an, have mercy! We have a great secret, a clue to a Core Formation spiritual artifact, and I can tell you..."

The eldest brother, Fang Tie, changed his expression drastically the moment he was reminded of the talisman treasure, and said urgently.

At the same time, he retreated rapidly and took out a near-third-tier barrier-breaking talisman from his storage bag.

However, Lin Chang'an remained unmoved. With a cold laugh, he formed a hand seal, and instantly the Blood Fiend Sword pierced through the sky, heading straight for Fang Tie.

"No! Fellow Daoist Lin, we, the Three Fiends of the Zhong Clan, have a great secret..."

Lin Chang'an has witnessed firsthand just how powerful late-stage second-order body refinement is.

It withstood the attack from the Green Horned Ox without moving an inch.

However, under the influence of the talisman, Fang Tie, a late-stage second-tier body cultivator, revealed a look of despair and regret, but he still roared and launched a final resistance.

The Blood Fiend Sword was a top-grade magic weapon in its prime, and even now it is still a mid-grade magic weapon. The power of the talisman treasures it can be used to create is immense.

It is far superior to the talisman treasures that Huang Shaohai refined from low-grade magic treasures.

Talisman Treasure: Blood Fiend Sword
This attack was as powerful as a full-force strike from a Core Formation cultivator wielding a low-grade magic weapon.

The defensive shield was pierced as easily as paper.

The top-grade defensive artifact, under his desperate roar, shattered in less than three breaths.

A blood-red sword light flashed, and the body cultivator was pierced through.

Upon witnessing the tragic deaths of his elder brother and second sister, this fellow Daoist Wen roared furiously and lunged at him.

"I'll fight you!"

However, the crimson talisman sword was even faster, piercing straight through his chest.

This fellow Daoist Wen, gazing at Lin Chang'an with resentment, gradually lost his breath.

From the start of the battle, Lin Chang'an never intended to delay.

After all, the longer it goes on, the more likely problems will arise, and he doesn't want his information to be leaked.

Therefore, all his initial attacks were merely a cover for his use of talismans.

……

"A big secret? Don't worry, even if I kill you all, this secret won't escape."

From the moment he arrived here, Lin Chang'an knew that he would be targeted sooner or later.

After all, he used to run a black market in Tianxuan City, and he came here to form his core.

Naturally, it will attract the attention of some unorthodox cultivators.

In other words, every Foundation Establishment cultivator preparing to form their Core is potentially being targeted.

After all, others have spent decades preparing, while others can obtain everything you have in a single day, and they are also preparing to form their core.

Three corpses lay outside the cave. Lin Chang'an manipulated the flying needles again, covering both sides of the chest and the back of the head. After confirming that they were truly dead, he began to probe their memories.

After a long while, Lin Chang'an opened his eyes and looked enlightened.

"So it was the Zhong family's three villains!"

When he was investigating Fang Tie and the Wen couple, there were only so many Foundation Establishment cultivators among the rogue cultivators in the Shayun Kingdom, so he naturally remembered these three infamous figures.

The three villains of the Zhong family were wanted in the Kingdom of Shayun, and then disappeared without a trace. Everyone thought that the three of them were dead, but they never expected that they were actually pretending to be alive.

The three of them originally lived on Jade Spirit Island in hiding, intending to raise the two of them until they were fat enough to be slaughtered.

Even back when they first arrived at Jade Spirit Island, Fang Tie discovered the demonic beasts and sought their cooperation, staging a good show with the Wen couple.

This is to prepare for lowering their guard in the future.

It could be said that each link was connected to the next, and if he hadn't had such a strong sense of perception, he might not have been able to discover it.

"But the clue to this Core Formation Spiritual Object is actually true!"

After examining his memories, Lin Chang'an understood why the three men had their eyes on him, including Hu Jin.

The three discovered a Core Formation artifact, but they were missing some treasures to obtain it, so they set their sights on the two of them.

Even the Lu family had plans to secretly make a profit.

"He's still a bandit at heart."

Although the three of them shared a genuine bond, Lin Chang'an showed no mercy to the cultivators who had their eyes on him.

The three of them regarded Lin Chang'an as a resource for preparing for the formation of the core, and Lin Chang'an did not hesitate to use talismans to quickly finish the battle, which was also the case.

"Although two of the magical artifacts were destroyed, the rest are still intact, along with the accumulated wealth of the Zhong family over the years. Their fortune is truly substantial."

"There are over two thousand mid-grade spirit stones, plus magical artifacts prepared for Core Formation..."

Lin Chang'an checked the three people's storage bags and couldn't help but beam with joy.

The three villains of the Zhong family, who had dominated the scene for decades, ended up giving away all their wealth to him.

He simply liked cultivators who possessed all their wealth.

The real treasure lies in the clues to the Core Formation artifacts found in the memories of the three individuals.

"If it weren't for the fact that they were planning to create a Core Formation Spiritual Object, these three probably wouldn't have been exposed."

Afterwards, Lin Chang'an went into the cave and looted everything of value.

He even secretly erased the traces of the battle and the corpses of the three people. After taking the spirit stones, he turned them into nutrients for the Bloodthirsty Poison Vine and then sent three fireballs.

Finally, he restored the formation to its original state, left quietly, and went to Fang Tie's cave.

Only after Lin Chang'an erased all traces did he quietly return to his cave.

Meanwhile, three hours later, Hu Jin called out several times outside the Wen family's cave, his face full of doubt, but no one responded before he went back.

It wasn't that Hu Jin was unguarded, but rather that he was on Jade Spirit Island, and everyone was familiar with him. In addition, Hu Jin had a talisman to back him up, which gave him the confidence.
