Twenty years later, with war looming and a major Trading Fair approaching, Lin Chang'an sought rare treasures and a Fifth-Rank Top-Tier talisman inheritance to prepare.

The chapter ended with Ice God Palace planning to conceal the truth, preserve its strength, and eventually refine Ling'er into a supreme treasure.
