"Mr. Lin, your comprehension in the path of arrays is truly extraordinary. Itâs really a pity."
Over the past few years, due to Song Tingfeng, and perhaps also because of an unspoken understanding regarding the reason behind the array disc, theyâve grown relatively familiar with one another.
At the trade meeting, Lin Changâan is often invited to discuss Dao together.
At this moment, Su Miaoyin shook her head somewhat regrettably, as if saying that with Lin Changâanâs talent, he should be delving deeper into the path of arrays.
[Tier One Upper Grade Array Master (Grandmaster 3/5000)]
Thanks to Song Tingfeng, discussions on cultivation often veer into the path of arrays, and this Su Miaoyin is a renowned genius in arrays.
In these years of constant exposure to the path of arrays, Lin Changâan has gained a deep understanding.
He is now a Tier One Upper Grade Array Master.
"Mr. Su, you overpraise me."
Itâs rumored that this Su Miaoyin is already a well-known Tier Three Array Master, her comprehension in the path of arrays is imaginable.
In the Hundred Skills of Cultivation, the path of arrays emphasizes comprehension.
As long as oneâs comprehension is high, sudden breakthroughs are known to happen.
Humbly dismissing the compliment with a wave, Lin Changâan knew his own business well enough to credit his insights in arrays largely to her influence.
Of course, it was mainly thanks to Mr. Songâs fortune.
Yet Su Miaoyin shook her head with a smile, genuinely feeling itâs a pity, but also understanding.
The path of arrays, not to mention loose cultivators, even ordinary sect cultivator clans lack deep foundations in this.
And Lin Changâan, adopting the philosophy of learning what he could, has in a few short years reached the level of Song Tingfeng.
This made Song Tingfeng feel somewhat stifled and helpless, having to admit that his talent wasnât in this area.
"Mr. Lin truly has great skills."
As they chatted, upon mentioning Lin Changâanâs demon beast hunting, Su Miaoyin couldnât help but nod in admiration.
If loose cultivators donât strive, merely indulging in blind, bitter cultivation daily, very few achieve anything.
Lin Changâan nodded in agreement and said, "It was also thanks to my NiuâEr and the popularization of Antitoxic Pills in Celestial Profound City these past two years."
After exchanging insights and sentiments, Lin Changâan took his leave.
And Su Miaoyin found nothing surprising; cultivators obtaining resources by hunting demon beasts is the norm.
For those like Lin Changâan, with lesser aptitude, scheming to reach Core Formation despite diligent cultivation every day would be the anomaly.
How much resource can one earn with just minor skills?
"Miss, these Tier Two Demon Beast materials have slight traces of Blood Evil Qi. It seems Mr. Lin must have learned some Demon Dao techniques."
After Lin Changâan left, the elder with the surname Feng pointed out smilingly at the purchased materials.
However, upon hearing this, Su Miaoyin only smiled indifferently.
"For cultivators daring enough to venture for a single chance encounter, what methods would they care about?"
Blood Evil Qi, typically implying side effects, is too common among loose cultivators like Lin Changâan.
After Su Miaoyin sighed and left, the elder surnamed Feng also sighed lightly.
Letâs hope Mr. Lin can tread farther along his path.
...
As Lin Changâan walked out of Treasures Tower, someone was already waiting for him outside his cave abode.
"Mr. Yun."
Recognizing the visitor, Lin Changâan wasnât surprised and invited them into the cave abode, whereupon the visitor removed a black veil, revealing their true appearance.
The visitor was precisely Yun Yao.
Lin Changâan greeted with a smile, having met each other occasionally over these years, discussing the situation and exchanging cultivation insights.
"Brother Lin, itâs rare to see a Tier Two Middle Grade Talisman Master like you keep such hidden depths."
Yun Yao teased slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with a meaningful look.
She always thought Lin Changâan had talent in talismans, but never expected his strength to be this formidable as well.
Typical Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators usually couldnât hunt numerous Tier Two Demon Beasts with such skill.
Even Yun Yao was initially quite surprised.
But Lin Changâan didnât hide it, instead sighing and shaking his head lightly, "The Immortal Cultivation Realm is uneasy; one must take risks."
This remark resonated deeply with Yun Yao too, indeed, even after becoming a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, she realized the path ahead is even harder.
Each step felt like walking on thin ice.
"Alright then, since Mr. Yun is here, you must taste the Spirit Wine that Yingying brought last time."
"Sure."
After a sip, Yun Yao displayed a smile.
"This is Cyan Bamboo Mountainâs Spirit Wine, a taste I havenât savored for many years."
Seeing this, Lin Changâan nodded with a light chuckle.
"Mr. Yun ought to savor it well; Yingying put her heart into it."
"Indeed, Shen Lie, Qingqing, NiuâEr, and Wei Buyi have all been doing rather well these years. In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, to live peacefully through this age, with children grown, is already a bliss."
As they exchanged emotional chatter, Yun Yao had also observed these friends from a distance over the years.
Seeing those friends from the past living fulfilling and joyous lives now, she too smiled.
Her path continues, not yet time to stop.
"Weâve known each other for decades, Brother Linâs character and temperament, I have no doubt; Iâm here today to ask Brother Lin a favor.
I never expected to see Brother Lin slay a demon beast at Treasures Tower, confirming Brother Linâs steadfast Dao heart."
As she spoke, Yun Yaoâs eyes sparkled with admiration gazing at Lin Changâan.
"Yun Yao has a certain opportunity, I wonder if Brother Lin!"
Opportunity!
On hearing this, Lin Changâanâs expression became serious.
Given Yun Yaoâs Mid-stage Foundation Establishment and her occasionally revealed wealth in recent years, anything termed as an opportunity undoubtedly isnât simple.
However prudent, Lin Changâan hesitated before inquiring:
