Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans...

Chapter 108 The New Situation in the Yue Kingdom [Fifth Update]

Tianxuan City.

After Li Huo Palace withdrew, Xuan Yin Pavilion left behind only some shops and resources, and the original forces also began to withdraw.

From then on, the first rogue cultivator, Xuan Gui Zhenren, became the true master of this Tianxuan Immortal City.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, have these people lost their minds? They actually dared to cause trouble, and as a result, they didn't even escape Tianxuan City before becoming someone else's bounty."

Chen Qing looked enviously at some cultivators in the distance. They were lucky enough to encounter a tribulation cultivator taking advantage of the chaos, and the outcome was self-evident.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, I was actually allocated a hundred acres of spirit fields."

When Chen Qing saw his reward, he couldn't help but get excited.

Lin Chang'an, who witnessed this scene from behind, glanced discreetly at the other excited figures.

"These policies of Tianxuan City are probably just to keep these rogue cultivators around."

For Foundation Establishment cultivators burdened by family and clan, the reward from Tianxuan City is spirit fields.

Even though they were allocated a portion of the spiritual land, they still had to hand it over every year.

But for independent cultivators who don't even have a foundation, this is tantamount to giving them a place to take root.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Lin."

When it was Lin Chang'an's turn, the person who greeted him was the same old man surnamed Feng from the auction house. He showed a rare look of surprise when he saw him.

Then, the other party solemnly took out a jade tablet and respectfully transmitted his voice:
"Fellow Daoist Lin, this is something Miss specifically instructed. She said that as long as you come, she will give you this jade token. From now on, all the high-level resources of the Wanbao Pavilion in Tianxuan City will be open to Fellow Daoist Lin."

Furthermore, Fengle Auction House does not charge any fees.

Upon hearing the old man surnamed Feng's words, a look of surprise flashed in Lin Chang'an's eyes, and he was secretly alarmed.

It seems that Su Miaoyin really saw through his disguise.

However, upon further reflection, he realized that when he sold the array plate, he had considered the possibility of his identity being exposed.

Ultimately, his actions were entirely in line with the behavior of a peaceful ascetic, who did not want to reveal his identity and cause trouble.

For Tianxuan City, they are completely friends.

"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Feng, and also Fairy Su."

Lin Chang'an accepted the jade token, cupped his hands with a smile, and then spoke the rest of his sentence telepathically.

Outsiders were unaware of their secret conversation.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, the area you're in charge of is stable. Do you want to exchange it for cultivation resources, or spirit fields?"

Looking at the items he could exchange for, Lin Chang'an didn't hesitate at all, and immediately smiled and cupped his hands in greeting:
"Let's switch to spirit fields. We can hire some cultivators to plant them then."

The fact that it can be exchanged for cultivation resources might be somewhat attractive to ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

But his status is that of a second-tier rune master, so his worth is naturally not comparable to these.

Instead, the hundred acres of spiritual fields have a steady flow of water.

"it is good."

The old man surnamed Feng nodded with a smile, clearly indicating that Tianxuan City also welcomed cultivators who exchanged spirit fields.

Those who want to exchange for spirit fields are either settling down with their families or ascetic cultivators who want to cultivate in peace.

Anyone would dislike someone like that.

"Brother Lin has also exchanged a hundred acres of spirit fields, which is truly a cause for celebration."

When Chen Qing saw the spirit fields that Lin Chang'an had exchanged, he was somewhat tempted, but then he remembered that the two of them were not that close, so he smiled and stepped forward to congratulate him.

Lin Chang'an naturally understood the other party's interested expression.

Although the other party was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he still had many clansmen below him.

Some less capable clansmen could easily become tenant farmers.

But Lin Chang'an did not accept it. Instead, he smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "I am happy for you. Tianxuan City can finally settle down."

Chen Qing nodded with a smile. Although Lin Chang'an had no clansmen or family members to rely on, he still had a few close friends.

Therefore, he wouldn't be disliked for such a trivial matter.

In comparison, making friends with a second-tier rune master is more important than anything else.

……

Tianxuan City was incredibly lively, especially with the retreat of the sect forces, leaving behind a huge amount of vacant profits.

Let alone independent cultivators, even some small families from neighboring countries were tempted after seeing this scene.

Most Foundation Establishment cultivators exchanged for spirit fields and then prepared to bring their clansmen over.

After all, it is rare to find a solitary cultivator like Lin Chang'an who is free from all ties.

Although the Yue Kingdom is in turmoil, at least it has spiritual fields, which gives it a foothold. Especially now that Tianxuan City has been established, it is in dire need of manpower. Adding flowers to brocade can never compare to providing charcoal in the snow.

With such a large vacancy in Tianxuan City, it's better than being exploited by these major sects no matter how you look at it.

The countless spiritual fields and resources that the two major sects, Li Huo Palace and Xuan Yin Pavilion, previously occupied have now become the most attractive places in Tian Xuan City.

Many independent cultivators even thought that since they were already wandering around anyway, and were under the rule of some sects and powerful clans, it was better to come here.

"With these measures, Tianxuan City is truly going to become the fourth largest power in the Yue Kingdom."

As he walked along, seeing the new look of Tianxuan City, Lin Chang'an nodded secretly.

Although everyone knew perfectly well that Master Lu was expanding his power, they couldn't resist the allure of joining him.

The sects are powerful, but these independent cultivators can only be outsiders.

Once they arrived in Tianxuan City, they were one of their own.

Everyone knows how to choose.

Previously, there was no choice.

"The invitation extended to independent cultivators from all over the world suggests that they are flocking here, perhaps even from the Yue Kingdom and neighboring countries."

As a fellow rogue cultivator, Lin Chang'an was well aware of how alluring Tianxuan City was to rogue cultivators.

"This Master Lu is truly extraordinary. No wonder he has been able to roam freely for hundreds of years and still live such a comfortable life."

Lin Chang'an was somewhat envious. It was no easy feat to rise from a rogue cultivator to where he is today; it wasn't just about luck.

Mindset and methods are both indispensable.

"However, the situation in Yue is about to change drastically, so it should be stable for a while."

Lin Chang'an secretly pondered that although the Divine Sword Sect and the Li Huo Palace were powerful, the combined forces of Tianxuan City and Xuanyin Pavilion were not to be underestimated.

"There will be plenty of behind-the-scenes power struggles, but these major forces will likely remain on the sidelines for a while."

Or rather, we're waiting for Master Lu to begin his decline.

After all, Master Lu is over five hundred years old, and time is favorable for the Divine Sword Sect and the Li Huo Palace.

"I hope I can have enough time to cultivate."

【Lifespan: 58/210】

[Skills: Tier 2 Low-grade Talisman Master (Proficient 89/500), Tier 1 High-grade Alchemist (Grandmaster 1962/5000)]

Looking at the progress of his talisman mastery and alchemy skills, Lin Chang'an felt a rare sense of relief.

"Next, I need to pick up my alchemy skills again and strive to break through to the second level as soon as possible so that they can assist my cultivation."

Lin Chang'an was very clear about his future plans. He knew that his spiritual root aptitude was poor and he would need to take medicine to assist his cultivation in order to keep up.

In fact, his self-healing body is more suitable for cultivating a physical technique, but he doesn't have that much time and resources right now.

He dared not slack off for even a moment while cultivating.

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but raise his head and look in the direction of Xuanyin Peak, a hint of envy in his eyes.

"A celestial spiritual root! The Yue Kingdom hasn't produced many like it in hundreds of years. It's truly an enviable talent."

With a Heavenly Spiritual Root, one can directly cultivate to the Core Formation Realm without any bottlenecks.

Countless cultivators throughout the Yue Kingdom are trapped at the third level of Qi Refining, with no hope of breaking through in their lifetime.

……

Just as Lin Chang'an was about to return to his long-lost cave, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Brother Lin..."

Lin Chang'an was startled and turned around to see a pale-faced female cultivator staring at him.

Although the other party had an ordinary appearance, the voice that spoke and the familiar aura of magic were striking.

"Yun Yao! Why didn't you leave!?"

This person was clearly Yun Yao, but as a disciple of the Li Huo Palace, the fact that she was still here surprised Lin Chang'an.

However, Yun Yao's face was as pale as paper, and she clutched her chest with a look of pain on her face.

"I……"
