Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 32 First-Tier High-Grade Talisman Master

Name: Lin Chang'an

【Lifespan: 45/109】

[Realm Level: Qi Refining Level 6 (1/100)]

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

【技能：金光符（宗师159/5000）、神行符（精通996/1000）、飞剑符（宗师879/5000）】

【法术：木灵刺【完美198/10000】、火弹术（精通923/1000）、敛息术（宗师378/5000）、隐身术（宗师116/5000）、驱物术（精通992/1000）……】

When Lin Chang'an returned home, he unusually smelled of alcohol.

"I never expected that a first-grade high-quality talisman, which we had no clue about before, would be available now."

Looking at the inheritance jade slip of the first-tier golden light talisman in his hand, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but smile.

Sure enough, high risk brings high reward.

Those who invested in Yunyao before may lose everything if the investment fails.

But the rewards after success are worthwhile.

"It's true that different people have different fates. Not only did he become a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but he also became a disciple of a Golden Core elder. His luck is simply unmatched."

Lin Chang'an sighed, recalling how she was just a little girl back then, and the four of them took the exam together.

As a result, in just twenty-five years, their identities have become completely different.

"A Foundation Establishment cultivator with a lifespan of two hundred years, that's truly enviable."

Lin Chang'an said with a hint of sourness, "I'm forty-five now. Although practicing the Everlasting Spring Technique can prolong life, it's still far inferior to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

"You must attempt to build your foundation before you turn sixty; even if you fail, you will have no regrets."

Thinking of this, a resolute look appeared on Lin Chang'an's face.

After years of arduous cultivation, and now with talent at his disposal, the Foundation Establishment stage, which seems elusive to others, is certainly within his grasp.

"For a first-tier high-grade talisman master, the opportunity to establish a foundation may be rare, but if ten first-tier high-grade talisman masters were available, then there might be a chance."

Lin Chang'an smiled at the thought that he could always maintain his best condition.

一阶下品符价值在2颗灵晶至1块灵石，中品符箓在3至7块灵石之间，而上品符价值直接在30至50灵石之间。

“An ordinary first-tier high-grade talisman master, under good conditions, can earn about one hundred spirit stones a month after deducting costs, while I earn ten times that.”

This is without sacrificing his cultivation time; otherwise, he could have done even more.

"First-grade high-quality talismans have extremely high requirements for talisman paper and cinnabar. Although we have purchased some before, it is considered normal behavior in the eyes of outsiders. After all, no talisman master is content with the status quo. However, purchasing in large quantities can easily arouse suspicion."

At this moment, Lin Chang'an frowned, and a first-grade high-quality talisman is not so easy to go unnoticed.

"Moreover, the inheritance of a first-grade high-quality talisman cannot be kept secret. Once Yun Yao expressed her gratitude at the dinner table, it could no longer be hidden."

At this moment, Lin Chang'an thought to himself, "Yun Yao is helping him."

"I'm truly envious of having a Golden Core elder as a backer, having been appointed as one of the Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed in the market."

Yun Yao, who had just established her foundation, was able to come to the rear, which clearly showed that she was appreciated by this Golden Core master. Otherwise, why would he have arranged such a good job for her?

"A first-tier high-grade talisman master, it seems like word will spread in a few days."

Lin Chang'an smiled and shook his head, taking out the few remaining precious talismans and the tiny bit of cinnabar.

"A complete first-order Golden Light Rune inheritance is more refined and requires more precise control."

Taking a deep breath, Lin Chang'an solemnly picked up his spirit brush, dipped it in precious cinnabar, and slowly began to draw on this unusual talisman paper.

[Golden Light Talisman +2 (Grandmaster 161/5000)]

Bathed in a soft golden light, Lin Chang'an wore a satisfied smile.

"A first-tier, high-grade talisman master!"

...the next day.

"Brother Lin."

The first person to arrive was Li Erniu. Erniu looked somewhat embarrassed, clearly indicating that the Zhou family had sent him.

Upon seeing this, Lin Chang'an secretly thought that the Zhou family was indeed cunning.

“Brother Lin, the clan knows about the little princess’s gathering with us at Juxianlou last night. This morning, Grandpa Zhou Antai sent me to find you.”

Li Erniu was an honest and simple man, and not wanting to ruin their relationship, the first thing he did upon arriving was to explain the situation.

"Erniu, there's no need for this between us."

Lin Chang'an chuckled and waved his hand, naturally understanding Erniu's predicament.

Seeing that Lin Chang'an did not blame him, Li Erniu breathed a sigh of relief and then took out the things his family had given him from his storage bag.

"Brother Lin, Grandpa Zhou Antai asked me to give you this."

When Lin Chang'an saw what Erniu took out, he was first taken aback, and then secretly praised the Zhou family, saying that it was indeed a great family that had stood for hundreds of years.

Be open and honest in your actions.

This item is the external contract he signed with the Zhou family five years ago; the Zhou family's intentions are quite clear.

A first-tier high-grade talisman master might be worth winning over, but this talisman master is also on good terms with a Foundation Establishment cultivator who has a Golden Core expert backing him up.

Then the identity is different.

"The Zhou family is really generous."

Lin Chang'an chuckled softly as he held the contract, while Erniu, standing beside him, scratched his head awkwardly and whispered:
"Brother Lin, actually, Grandpa Antai has also given me a lot of benefits."

Lin Chang'an smiled immediately. Well, this Erniu is really honest.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. This can be considered a way of befriending a Foundation Establishment cultivator with a powerful background, so naturally, they would be willing to give up such a small amount.

"Erniu, give this talisman to Senior Zhou and convey my thanks to him."

Since the Zhou family was so generous, and Lin Chang'an wasn't that kind of person, he laughed heartily and took out a talisman as a return gift.

Upon seeing the talisman, Li Erniu's eyes widened in surprise.

"Brother Lin, you've really broken through to become a first-tier high-grade talisman master!"

It's no wonder Erniu was shocked. Five years ago, Lin Chang'an was still frustrated and unsuccessful, but he broke through to become a first-level mid-grade talisman master.

Now that he has become a first-tier high-grade talisman master, Erniu felt at this moment that he seemed to have become the bottom of the pack due to the difference in status.

Even the young marquis Shen Lie has married his junior sister and is now managing the merchant guild of the young princess Yun Yao.

"I was lucky. After 25 years of dedicated study, I finally made a breakthrough in the art of talismans."

Lin Chang'an spoke with a humble expression, saying that others would only think of his experience as the result of years of hard work and perseverance.

In the world of cultivation, there are countless individuals who have devoted decades to research without making any progress, only to suddenly achieve enlightenment one day.

"A first-tier high-grade talisman master must earn so many spirit stones in a year."

Li Erniu said enviously, "If I had that ability, I wouldn't have to worry about my brat."

In addition to spiritual roots and talents, cultivating immortality also emphasizes resources.

The two of them were held back by a lack of resources.

"Brother Lin, don't worry, I'll go back and report to the family, and that will be enough to settle things."

Lin Chang'an did not make things difficult for Erniu, and Erniu, after initially assigning the Zhou family the task, completely put it aside.

Seeing Erniu patting his chest confidently, Lin Chang'an smiled and nodded.

Since the Zhou family has shown goodwill, he naturally won't be arrogant. After all, having more friends means having more options.
