Identities Swapped

The Treasure Talisman is a lost art that Lan Chang'an studied in his Previous Life.

Unfortunately, the inherited knowledge was too incomplete, resulting in only a flawed product, and it did not truly succeed.

In his Previous Life, he had limited energy and didn't have much time to pursue his goals.

There are three major difficulties in nurturing Treasure Talisman.

First, the Talisman Paper Talisman be made from the finest materials, ideally the bark of a spiritually potent tree.

Secondly, it requires a long period of nurturing and perseverance.

Third, the requirements for the cultivation of magical Law Power and the methods of cultivation.

"The Previous Life had no shortage of excellent load-bearing materials, but ultimately it didn't truly succeed, mainly due to the second and third points."

Lan Chang'an had already reached a conclusion.

In his Previous Life, he managed Lineage cultivators, cultivated to the Peak Core Formation, and became Third-Order Talisman Master, but his energy was very limited.

The Fire-Type Technique he practiced were also unsuitable for nurturing.

According to that incomplete inheritance, Wood-Type Technique are most suitable for nurturing.

In this life, Lan Chang'an has plenty of time and leisure.

The "Ancient Wood Evergreen Art" is suitable for nurturing Treasure Talisman.

Many Wood-Type Technique are beneficial for cultivating spiritual herbs and promoting the vigorous growth of plants.

Evergreen Mana is no exception; its effects in this regard are even more pronounced.

Lan Chang'an had not considered becoming a Spirit Plant grower and had never developed his abilities in this area.

Take the Mystic Water Turtle as an example; after being nurtured by the Evergreen Art, its growth rate has accelerated significantly.

"To nurture Treasure Talisman, the original material of the Talisman must be at least Second-Order High-Grade spirit wood bark; third-grade spirit wood bark would be even better."

Lan Chang'an's goal was very clear.

The requirements for the material of the Talisman Treasure Talisman extremely high, and it was not even considered Qi Refining Realm stage.

Advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm is no longer so easy.

Spirit wood bark, as a raw material for drawing talismans, is even more compatible with the Evergreen Art, which is based on the Wood Element.

The process of nurturing Talisman is like cultivating a sacred tree.

If the Talisman made of high-quality material and nurtured for decades or even centuries, the resulting Treasure Talisman will possess immeasurable power when unleashed.

Several days later.

Lan Chang'an moved out of the cave at the foot of Yellow Dragon Mountain ahead of schedule.

He didn't want to stay under the watchful eyes of the True Person.

The Pseudo-Core True Person on the mountain was somewhat interested in this mascot, but he didn't want to lower himself to visit him.

As for True Person Yellow Dragon, he is elusive, has many friends, and rarely visits Yellow Dragon Mountain.

"After the Foundation Establishment Realm, daily cultivation requires Second-Order Spiritual Vein. In the future, I need to find a quiet and stable Dao Field."

Lan Chang'an secretly made his plans.

Elixirs and Spirit Stone can indeed compensate for deficiencies in Spirit Vein to some extent.

However, consuming too many elixirs can lead to impure Law Power and an unstable foundation.

It's simply unrealistic to think you can increase your cultivation level indefinitely just by taking pills!

Spirit Stone are suitable for replenishing Law Power, but if one relies on Spirit Stone for cultivation for a long time, it will reduce the cultivator's sensitivity to the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

On a higher level, this reduces one's harmony with heaven and earth, hindering the comprehension of the Great Dao.

On the way back.

Lan Chang'an went to the post station to send a letter to Jade Moon Lake.

"Greetings, Senior." The cultivators at the post station bowed respectfully upon seeing the Foundation Establishment expert arrive in person.

This letter was sent to Li Erqing.

Lan Chang'an plans to visit the Mu Family in a year.

The letter did not specify what the purpose of the visit to the Mu Family was, in order to avoid leaking information.

Lan Chang'an planned to sell the genuine Foundation Establishment he had to the Jade Moon Lake Mu Family.

To draw High-Grade Talisman and nurture Treasure Talisman, he needs to spend a large amount of Spirit Stone.

The Foundation Establishment Pill was useless to Lan Chang'an, and since he had no plans to have children, he naturally wanted to convert it into cash.

Since the Foundation Establishment is going to be sold, why not do a favor and sell it to the Jade Moon Lake Mu Family?

Regardless, the Mu Family took him in when he was Qi Refining First Layer, which was a great kindness.

Lan Chang'an spent two or three decades at the Mu Family, enjoying the most vulnerable stage of the Qi Refining Realm. It was a wonderful time for him.

Even if Lan Chang'an sold the Foundation Establishment at market price, the Mu Family would still be extremely grateful.

The bidding for Foundation Establishment is highly competitive, and success attracts attention.

If one's strength is insufficient, one is easily targeted by hidden Evil Cultivator or treacherous practitioners, which carries considerable risk.

Hostile forces will also obstruct us, either openly or covertly.

The cost of purchasing the Foundation Establishment is one aspect.

Whether they can protect the Foundation Establishment, withstand various risks, and ultimately advance smoothly is another challenge.

When Mu Renlong Foundation Establishment, he either took risks and secretly did it on the black market, or he obtained key materials and secretly collaborated with others to refine pills.

The Mu Family paid a heavy price for that secret Foundation Establishment, consuming many years of their accumulated resources.

That day, they returned to Water Moon Residence.

The Brocade District caused a stir among the surrounding neighbors.

Congratulations, Senior Lu, on achieving Foundation Establishment!

Former neighbors and acquaintances came to offer their congratulations, their tone and attitude completely changed.

"Senior Lu, you're finally back! I've been waiting for you for so long."

Du Wei, beaming, arrived with his wife, carrying a gift box.

"Brother Du, there's no need to be so polite."

Lan Chang'an did not ignore Du Wei and invited him in.

Previously, when Lan Chang'an needed something from Du Wei, he would usually go to Dewey's residence.

During this meeting, Du Wei, acting as a junior, formally visited with his wife and presented a generous gift.

Upon advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm, Lan Chang'an achieved a leap in social class and a change in status.

Looking across the vast Yellow Dragon Immortal City, Lan Chang'an is undoubtedly a prominent figure.

If he wanted, he could even establish a cultivation Lineage.

"Senior Lu, my master asked me to convey a message: Miss Fu's visit that day was actually an accident."

"He asked me to convey his apologies, and I hope you can understand."

Du Wei bowed deeply, adopting a very humble posture.

Accident?

Lan Chang'an thought to himself, "Does Alchemist Hua still think I'm some ignorant Rogue Cultivator, trying to keep deceiving me?"

If Alchemist Hua truly wanted to apologize, he wouldn't have sent his disciple over.

Alchemist Hua, confident in his status, didn't take Lan Chang'an seriously even though Lu had advanced to the Foundation Establishment.

Alchemist of the same rank have a slightly higher status than Talisman Master.

Alchemist Hua is also Foundation Establishment Middle Stage and Second-Order High-Grade Alchemist.

Lan Chang'an, an White-Headed Old Man, has very low potential to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm. Normally, the highest level he can reach is a second-tier low-grade Talisman Master, and the difference in status between the two is quite significant.

I just saw Du Wei off.

Another young couple of monks came to visit.

"Congratulations, Uncle Lu, on achieving Foundation Establishment! You have become a role model for Rogue Cultivator in the Liang Kingdom's Cultivation World."

Lin Lu and his wife Li Qiuyue came to pay their respects with congratulatory gifts.

"Don't be shy."

Lan Chang'an spoke in a friendly tone and reminisced for a while.

Lin Lu, an old friend, had long since reformed and was now living a quiet life in Yellow Dragon Immortal City, diligently cultivating his spiritual practice.

They would occasionally come to pay their respects and offer gifts.

Lan Chang'an's attitude towards him gradually changed.

Lin Yi Yizhong died in the middle of his life, but his friends Zhang Tieshan, Zhao Siyao, Lan Chang'an and Li Erqing all successfully Foundation Establishment.

Perhaps this is the greatest resource Lin Yi left for his son.

Lan Chang'an heard that Lin Lu's wife, Li Qiuyue, was very domineering at home.

During this visit, Li Qiuyue was quiet and cautious.

She seemed a little nervous when Lan Chang'an asked her questions.

Lin Lu felt a surge of pride, thinking to himself that this woman was only good at bullying her own family.

After Uncle Lu achieved fame and success in his Foundation Establishment, his status in the family improved, and his wife became much more obedient.

In addition, the Foundation Establishment Ancestor of Li Qiuyue's cultivation Lineage was seriously injured while hunting demons in the Black Mist Mountain Range several years ago and will not live for many more years.

After chatting for a while, Mr. and Mrs. Lin Lu took their leave.

Lan Chang'an did not send gifts to the two younger relatives.

Unbeknownst to him, he had grown from a weak Qi Refining cultivator into a respected figure for his juniors.

Lin Lu and his wife walked to the entrance of the villa.

A girl in a yellow dress walked towards us.

Lin Lu was slightly stunned, unable to hide his amazement.

The girl in the yellow dress had a beautiful face, bright and lively eyes, and slightly puffed-out cheeks, making her look pure and charming.

Her appearance and demeanor surpassed even the innocent female cultivator Golden Cloud Valley had deceived him about years ago.

The girl in the yellow dress glanced over indifferently.

Lin Lu felt a chill run down their spines, sensing a powerful spiritual pressure, their legs feeling as if they were filled with lead.

Foundation Establishment Realm!

Lin Lu was alarmed, fearing that the other party would hold him accountable for his earlier rudeness.

"Senior..."

"Is this Lan Chang'an's residence?"

Zhou Qingxuan interrupted him.

"Reporting to Senior, this is Uncle Lu's residence."

Lin Lu replied respectfully, not daring to look the other person in the eye.

"Um."

Zhou Qingxuan nodded, then lightly knocked on the courtyard gate, her mood dampened, releasing the Law Power fluctuations of the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

She wasn't in a good mood.

Two or three months ago, Zhou Qingxuan was greatly surprised and found it unbelievable that Lan Chang'an Foundation Establishment at the age of seventy.

The Turtle Talisman Master she once teased actually Foundation Establishment at the age of seventy, becoming an inspirational story.

Lan Chang'an is not only Foundation Establishment cultivator, but also a Second-Order Talisman Master.

Only a few years have passed, and the other party's status is now basically at the same level as hers.

What frustrated her was that, entrusted by her Lineage, she was required to personally visit and win over Lan Chang'an.

Back then, it was Lan Chang'an who sought an audience with her; now, the roles have reversed.

"Please come in, Senior Zhou."

Guan Qiaozhi opened the courtyard gate and welcomed Zhou Qingxuan in.

Inside the villa, there is a pond.

A turtle the size of an iron pot lazily blew Water Bubble by the pond.

"The Mystic Water Turtle? He actually succeeded in breeding it?"

Zhou Qingxuan's bright eyes immediately attracted her.

She could tell at a glance that this Mystic Water Turtle was not sickly at all, and was in good health.

"Hmm? This turtle's growth is unusual; it seems to be hiding its cultivation level?"

Zhou Qingxuan was secretly surprised.

She personally auctioned off that Mystic Water Turtle Egg back then.

Today, not only is Lan Chang'an being nurtured healthily, but his growth rate has also exceeded expectations.

"Miss Zhou, how have you been?"

A clear male voice broke her thoughts.

A serene and unassuming man in white, with a gentle and refined demeanor, stood before the steps of the main house.

Its appearance and form are almost perfectly identical to those of the young Talisman Master I first met at Bamboo Leaf Mountain thirty years ago.
