Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 30 Yun Yao's Foundation Establishment
Day two.

"Brother Lin, the birds last night were terrifying."

Li Erniu looked at the azure sky and spoke with lingering fear, while Lin Chang'an nodded and said solemnly:

"Erniu, don't leave the market easily during this period. This Riftwind Eagle is not only powerful, but also very vengeful."

It's clear that the scale of this land reclamation is so large that it has caused chaos among the monsters in the Cloud Mist Mountains, which is not unprecedented.

But this is the first time that a group of second-tier monsters has attacked.

The entire market was in a state of panic, and the prices of magical artifacts, talismans, and elixirs had actually started to rise.

"Brother Lin, I'm not stupid."

Even Li Erniu knew one thing: flying monsters couldn't hit anything, so Qingzhushan Market was just a stationary tortoise shell.

More importantly, this tortoise shell probably won't last long.

“Once the formation that maintains the market is activated, it will consume a large amount of mid-grade spirit stones. If we cannot deal with this second-tier demonic beast, the Gale Eagle, the market's formation will definitely collapse first.”

Lin Chang'an shook his head, explaining that this was precisely why prices in the market had risen.

However, the ones who should be having a headache are not these junior cultivators, but the Li Huo Palace and Xuan Yin Pavilion.

As expected, on the third night, more than thirty second-tier demonic beasts, the Riftwind Eagles, arrived as scheduled and launched another night of attacks.

However, this time, the Li Huo Palace and the Xuan Yin Pavilion joined forces with the other Foundation Establishment cultivators in the market to open a breach when the demonic beasts attacked, and then quickly closed it.

The three second-tier demonic beasts, the Gale Eagles, were killed instantly by the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the market.

After this incident, the cultivators in the market finally breathed a sigh of relief for several days.

……

Five days later, a cold wind howled and heavy snow fell.

Name: Lin Chang'an

【Lifespan: 45/106】

[Realm Level: Qi Refining Level 5 (99/100)]

[Technique: Everlasting Spring Technique (Grandmaster: 1899/5000)]

【技能：金光符（宗师158/5000）、神行符（精通993/1000）、飞剑符（宗师879/5000）】

【法术：木灵刺【完美195/10000】、火弹术（精通921/1000）、敛息术（宗师365/5000）、隐身术（宗师102/5000）、驱物术（精通986/1000）……】

Inside the secret chamber, as the spirit stone in his palm dimmed, Lin Chang'an slowly opened his eyes.

"In another half month at most, I will be able to break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining."

After casually crushing the discarded spirit stone in his palm into dust, Lin Chang'an sighed with emotion.

Who would have thought that five years ago, he was a Qi Refining Level 3 cultivator who was frustrated and disheartened and ready to return to the mortal world?

As a result, in just five years, he not only became a mid-grade first-level talisman master, but his cultivation was also about to break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

"Although I can't compare to a genius like Yun Yao, at my current pace, I still have a chance to start planning for Foundation Establishment before I turn sixty."

Lin Chang'an was overjoyed. It is said that even in times of famine, skilled craftsmen will not starve. This saying also applies to the cultivation world.

In the world of cultivation, those who achieve something in any field earn far more spirit stones than other cultivators of the same level, and their earnings are also more stable.

Just as Lin Chang'an blew out the candle and prepared to rest, a shrill scream suddenly came from outside in the snowy night.

Countless cultivators were immediately awakened.

"problem occurs!"

Lin Chang'an instinctively took the magic weapon in his palm, carefully opened the door, and climbed onto the wall.

However, just as he climbed onto the wall, there was a loud thud as something heavy fell to the ground in the distance, followed by a tiger's roar.

"A monster fell from the sky!"

Lin Chang'an's eyes widened as he witnessed a demonic beast descend from the sky and crash directly into a cultivator's home.

Immediately following were pitiful and terrified screams, as well as the booming sound of magic.

"what's the situation!?"

Even though Lin Chang'an had been established in the cultivation world for more than 20 years, he was still stunned at this moment.

This was completely beyond his comprehension.

When will monsters start falling from the sky?

But it wasn't over yet. In the snowy night market, heavy thuds echoed as objects fell one after another, illuminating the entire market in an instant. Especially for the rogue cultivators in the shantytowns, because their cultivation levels were relatively low, the falling monsters were almost all late-stage first-tier monsters.

This is like a tiger falling into a sheep pen; the best course of action is to kill it immediately.

"brute!"

Just then, with a furious roar from within the market, the market's night sky defense barrier opened instantly, and the Foundation Establishment cultivator's spell illuminated the night sky.

Only then did countless cultivators see what was happening in the sky.

Lin Chang'an's eyes widened even more, "It's that group of Rending Wind Eagles again!"

Damn, this is truly eye-opening.

In the snowy night sky, more than thirty Wind-Splitting Eagles circled overhead, with several carrying live demonic beasts.

The monsters that fell from the sky were clearly the work of these second-tier monsters, the Rending Wind Eagles.

This alone is enough to demonstrate the intelligence of the monsters.

"I heard that the leader of this group of Gale Eagles is already a late-stage second-tier demonic beast. We should hide for now."

Lin Chang'an shrank back, looking at the commotion in the market and the cultivators hunting demonic beasts.

He is a noble talisman master.

This monster only costs a few spirit stones, why risk your life?

……

The next day, the entire market became lively.

"Last night was terrifying. I heard that a second-tier Foundation Establishment demon beast fell down in the East District. If it weren't for the Foundation Establishment cultivators from Xuan Yin Pavilion taking action, who knows how many people would have been killed."

"This is too messy."

"What do you know? Right now, the low-level cultivators in the entire market are naturally in a state of panic, but the late-stage Qi Refining cultivators are all green with envy. There's no need to risk searching for it; as long as they're lucky enough to team up and kill it, they can get a demon core..."

"Damn it, which cultivator has provoked these beasts this time, that they would retaliate so fiercely?"

In the distance, Lin Chang'an and Li Erniu hurried towards Juxianlou, with Erniu's face full of worry.

"Brother Lin is in too much danger lately, when will it end?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'an sighed helplessly.

"Erniu, let's both be careful these days. Don't leave the market unless necessary. There have been frequent raids on cultivators outside lately."

Robbers kill cultivators to steal treasures. There are professional robbers, and there are also those who act on impulse out of greed.

If there's even the slightest disturbance, your neighbors might become greedy and set their sights on your spirit stones.

Although there were some disturbances these past few times, it was all thanks to the cultivators from the two major sects, Li Huo Palace and Xuan Yin Pavilion, who suppressed them within the market.

Otherwise, things would have been in chaos long ago.

The reason the two of them came to Juxianlou this time was entirely because their junior sister, Lu Qingqing, had asked someone to tell them that there was news about Princess Yun Yao.

The two then headed towards Juxianlou together.

"What! Junior... Senior Yun has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage!?"

Upon arriving at the private room of Juxianlou, the two had just sat down when they heard this news, which shocked Li Erniu so much that he was speechless.

"Brother Li, I only found out last night."

Lu Qingqing looked completely innocent and explained:

"We don't know when Sister Yun will return. Last night, a disciple of Li Huo Palace sent a letter saying that Sister Yun successfully established her foundation within the sect two days ago and will return to the market soon."

Not only Erniu, but even the young master Shen Lie was shocked when he found out.

While Lin Chang'an was shocked, he also understood why the young princess Yun Yao was so cautious.

Foundation building is a major event; if even a little bit of information is leaked, who knows what changes might occur?

Not to mention the cultivators outside, there are probably people inside the sect watching them too.

Who would have thought that this young princess would suddenly return to her sect and immediately go into seclusion to break through her cultivation barrier?

They act decisively and without hesitation.

I hope you brothers will continue reading tomorrow, Tuesday.
