[Cultivation Technique: Chang Chun Skill (Grandmaster: 1899/5000)]

[Skills: Golden Light Talisman (Grandmaster 159/5000), Divine Movement Talisman (Mastery 996/1000), Flying Sword Talisman (Grandmaster 879/5000)]

Lin Chang’an returned home, unusually carrying a trace of alcohol on him.

"I didn’t expect that the Tier One Upper Grade Talisman, which was previously elusive, is now within reach."

Looking at the Inheritance Jade Scroll of the Tier One Golden Light Talisman in his hand, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but smile.

Indeed, high risk brings high reward.

Investing in Yun Yao before, if it failed, would have possibly ended up in nothing.

But the return after success is worthwhile.

"It’s really different destinies for different people, not only has she become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, but also apprenticed to a Golden Core Elder, such fortune, it’s unparalleled."

Lin Chang’an sighed, reminiscing when she was just a little girl, the four of them taking an assessment together.

Yet, in just twenty-five years, their statuses have drastically changed.

"Foundation Establishment Cultivator, two hundred years of life span, truly enviable."

Lin Chang’an said a bit sourly; now he is already forty-five, although cultivating Chang Chun Skill has benefits for longevity, it’s nothing compared to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

"I must attempt Foundation Establishment before the age of sixty, even if I fail, I will have no regrets."

Thinking of this, a determined look appeared on Lin Chang’an’s face.

After years of hard cultivation, now with talent in hand, the elusive Foundation Establishment in others’ eyes is not impossible in his heart.

"A Tier One Upper Grade Talisman Master, opportunities for Foundation Establishment may be rare, but if supplied by ten Tier One Upper Grade Talisman Masters, then there might be a chance."

Thinking that he can always maintain the best state, Lin Chang’an smiled.

The value of a Tier One Lower Grade Talisman ranges from 2 Spirit Crystals to 1 Spirit Stone, Middle Grade Talismans are between 3 to 7 Spirit Stones, while Upper Grade Talismans are directly valued between 30 to 50 Spirit Stones.

"An ordinary Tier One Upper Grade Talisman Master, in good condition, can earn about a hundred Spirit Stones a month after deducting costs, while I can earn ten times that."

This is without sacrificing cultivation time; otherwise, it could be more.

"The Tier One Upper Grade Talismans require very high-quality Talisman Paper and Cinnabar. Although I have purchased them before, it seemed normal behavior to others, as no Talisman Master would be content with the status quo, but buying in bulk would easily arouse suspicion."

At this moment, Lin Chang’an frowned, and Tier One Upper Grade Talismans are not that easy to conceal.

"And the inheritance of the Tier One Upper Grade Talisman cannot be hidden. After Yun Yao openly thanked me at the table, it couldn’t be concealed."

At this moment, Lin Chang’an thought silently, but Yun Yao is also helping him.

"Appointed as one of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators stationed at the Market, I truly envy having a Golden Core Elder as a patron."

Yun Yao, having just achieved Foundation Establishment, being able to come to the rear is clearly because of the appreciation from this Golden Core Master; otherwise, how could she be assigned such a good position?

"A Tier One Upper Grade Talisman Master, it seems it won’t take long for the news to spread."

Lin Chang’an shook his head with a smile, taking out the few precious Talismans he had left, and that tiny bit of Cinnabar.

"The complete Tier One Golden Light Talisman Inheritance is more delicate and requires even more precise control power."

Taking a deep breath, with a serious expression, Lin Chang’an lifted the Spiritual Brush, dipped it in the precious Cinnabar, and began to draw slowly on this paper different from ordinary Talisman Paper.

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

With a faint golden light swirling, Lin Chang’an’s face showed a satisfied smile.

"Tier One Upper Grade Talisman Master!"

...

The next day.

"Brother Lin."

The first to visit was actually Li Erniu, who now looked a bit awkward, obviously sent by the Zhou Family.

Seeing this, Lin Chang’an also thought to himself that the Zhou Family is indeed cunning.

"Brother Lin, the matter of the Little Commandery Princess gathering us at the Gathering Immortals Tower last night was known within the clan, and this morning, Grandpa Zhou Antai asked me to find you."

Li Erniu, being an honest person, didn’t want to harm the relationship between the two, so the first thing he did upon arrival was to clarify the matter.

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

Lin Chang’an smiled lightly, waving his hand, understanding Erniu’s predicament.

Seeing that Lin Chang’an was not angry, Li Erniu finally breathed a sigh of relief, then took out the things given by the family from his Storage Bag.

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

Seeing what Erniu took out, Lin Chang’an was initially taken aback, then praised inwardly that the Zhou Family, indeed a prominent family standing for a hundred years, does things openly.

This thing is the external employment contract he signed with the Zhou Family five years ago, and the message from the Zhou Family is very clear.

A Tier One Upper Grade Talisman Master might be worth winning over, but this Talisman Master also has a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with a Golden Core expert backing him as a friend.

Then this identity changes.

"The Zhou Family is really generous."

Lin Chang’an chuckled while holding the contract, and next to him, Erniu scratched his head awkwardly, whispering:

"Brother Lin, actually Grandpa Antai also gave me a lot of benefits."

Lin Chang’an laughed immediately, well, this Erniu is really sincere.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. This can be seen as befriending a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with a background, so this small amount of stuff is naturally affordable.

"Erniu, give this Spirit Talisman to Senior Zhou and thank him for me."

Since the Zhou Family is open-handed, Lin Chang’an is not that kind of person; with a hearty laugh, he directly took out a Talisman as a return gift.

Upon seeing this Talisman, Li Erniu’s eyes widened immediately.

"Brother Lin, you really broke through to become a Tier One Upper Grade Talisman Master!"

It’s no wonder Erniu was shocked; five years ago, Lin Chang’an was still struggling, then he first broke through as a Tier One Middle Grade Talisman Master.

Now he has become a Tier One Upper Grade Talisman Master; this difference in status made Erniu feel at this moment as if he has become the one at the bottom.

Even Little Marquis Shen Lie has married Little Junior Sister, now managing the Commandery Princess Yun Yao’s merchant guild.

"Just lucky, after twenty-five years of research, I’ve finally entered the door of talisman crafting."

With a humble expression, Lin Chang’an said with emotion, his experience would just be seen as accumulating slowly over time.

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, there are too many who research for decades without progress, but then suddenly have an enlightenment one day.

"A Tier One Upper Grade Talisman Master must earn a huge amount of Spirit Stones this year."

Li Erniu said enviously, if he had this ability, he wouldn’t worry about his little brat at home.

Cultivation, besides Spirit Root Talent, is more about resources.

The two of them were delayed because of a lack of resources.

"Brother Lin, don’t worry, I’ll go back to report to the family, it counts as completing my task."

Lin Chang’an did not make things difficult for Erniu, likewise, Erniu set aside the Zhou family’s task after initially explaining it.

Seeing Erniu patting his chest confidently, Lin Chang’an also nodded with a smile.

Since the Zhou Family extended goodwill, he wouldn’t be arrogant; after all, the more friends one has, the more roads one can take.
