After delivering the medicinal herbs with Qing Nu to the rented pharmacy lab, Chen Mobai placed another order online. He swept the newly released two hundred talismans that were set up by the Wood Spirit Talisman store during this period. The shopkeeper responded familiarly with a smiley face emoji and sent it as same-city express delivery.
Unfortunately, he failed to grab the Vein Protection Pill during the flash sale at the Immortal Sect flagship store. Probably because of his home’s poor network connection, the half-second delay resulted in the sale’s complete sellout.
Chen Mobai could only regretfully accept this. After all, he has the authority of Rank-3 and can participate in the flash sale every month. There will be a chance to succeed sometime in the future.
Moreover, he successfully grabbed the Spirit Ascension Powder the last time. If he were to succeed again in grabbing the Vein Protection Pill this time, he might potentially expose himself if the process was observed by anyone with ill intentions.
That night, he returned to Green Light Island as he usually does.
Although his own wooden house has only a Rank-1 superior-grade Spiritual Qi level and is incomparable to the Water Mansion, Chen Mobai has recently adopted a habit. As long as he is in the Tianhe Realm, he can will himself to diligently practice his cultivation.
Perhaps it’s because every time he refines the Spiritual Energy of the Tianhe Realm, he, a cultivator from this planet, always feels as though it’s a freebie.
This makes him very motivated to cultivate.
After consuming a tube of Rank-1 superior-grade Qi-replenishing Spirit Water prepared by Qing Nu, Chen Mobai once again felt the rapid enhancement of efficiency. As the Five Elements Cultivation technique circulated, he absorbed strands of Spiritual Energy. After going through the Grand Circulation, it merged into his Dantian’s Qi Sea, and gradually took shape within the Spiritual Power Vortex.
Finish meditating, Chen Mobai looked outside. It was still dark.
Checking the time on his phone, it was exactly 4 a.m.
He began to prepare the talismans he needed to use for his magic duel.
Among the Rank-1 superior-grade talismans, the only one he can use for fighting right now is the “Soldier-transforming Talisman”.
According to its description, this talisman can exert its maximum power in environments such as forests. Its primary purpose is to trap and suppress. Given that the venue for the magic duel is the Cinnabarite Institute, and even though there are green plants there, most of the terrain consists of Danxia landform mountains. Chen Mobai considered this for a moment, then abandoned this talisman.
On the Immortal Sect website, he also searched for various talisman stores, but talismans for fighting were extremely rare. Moreover, there were quite a few restrictions to prevent them from being misused by thoughtless cultivators, causing major incidents.
All were too gentle.
Chen Mobai shook his head, unable to find any combat talismans on the Immortal Sect website that satisfied him.
Oddly enough, he remembered the “Crimson Flame Sword Talisman” that Qi Hou used back then. Although it needed some preparation to launch, its power was extremely powerful, and its speed was very fast. Even the famously fast Black Plague Bird couldn’t evade it.
After all, when it comes to magic duels, cultivators from the Tianhe Realm are more proficient.
The development of everyday spells and cultivation techniques may be average, but in terms of combat, Chen Mobai admitted that the cultivators of this world were quite formidable.
He remembered the “Divine Wood Sect Talisman Making Insights” that Lu Shu gave him in the Southstream Market. He immediately took it out from the bottom of his bag.
Flipping open the book, he first searched for the table of contents, and as expected, found an introduction to the “Crimson Flame Sword Talisman”.
Crimson Flame Sword Talisman: A Rank-1 superior-grade talisman. Talisman Makers can solidify and infuse the Red Flame Sword Light produced by their cultivation into a piece of paper. They can seal up to three Sword Lights, which can be spontaneously released all at once or one by one.
Unfortunately, this book only introduces this talisman and did not provide the exact method of refining it.
However, Chen Mobai learned from this that the “Crimson Flame Sword Talisman” has three levels.
Like the one Qi Hou used last time, it was the most common one. It only sealed one Crimson Flame Sword Light. If it seals three Sword Lights and the user has enough Divine Sense, a small Sword Array can be set up when launched to make the talisman’s power reach another level.
Which means, although the “Crimson Flame Sword Talisman” is only a Rank-1 superior-grade, if all conditions are met, it can exert a power comparable to a Rank-2 lower-grade.
It might not be inferior to the “Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman” in Chen Mobai’s hand.
Maybe this is the one to pick.
After reading the introduction, Chen Mobai felt like if he had the “Three Crimson Flame Screw Talisman”, even if he didn’t win the first place in the magic duel, entering the top ten should not be a problem.
He would go to the Divine Wood Sect’s Talisman Shop on the island tomorrow have a look around and see if they sell this talisman.
After putting the “Three Crimson Flame Sword Talisman” on his list of primary targets, Chen Mobai started to select two Rank-1 intermediate-grade talismans.
He was familiar with the Green Arrow Talisman and the Wood Armor Talisman. It was fair to say these were the talismans he used most frequently and was most adept at using. He decided to go with these two for now.
Now only four Rank-1 lower-grade talismans were left.
Chen Mobai set up a group composed of the Wooden Shield Talisman, Wood Prison Talisman, Coiling Talisman, and Detoxification Talisman. In the immortal world, duels were generally stopped at some point, and these talismans could be used to deal with Qi Cultivation Rank-6 opponents who were only making up the numbers.
However, among these, the function of the Wooden Shield Talisman and Wood Armor Talisman are somewhat redundant, and Chen Mobai also mastered the Water Elemental Shield. He felt that there were too many defensive means.
But he also considered that being undefeated is not a bad thing, so he’ll stick with this setup for now.
After roughly setting up a set of talismans to be used during the magic duel, Chen Mobai decided to head out on his own to practice against the Black Armored Turtle tomorrow.
Looking outside, the sky was still dark, so Chen Mobai continued to read the “Divine Wood Sect Talisman Making Insights” in his hands.
He contemplated whether he could use the talismans from Tianhe Realm to further enhance his current set.
This book of insights was distributed to newly recruited disciples by the Divine Wood Sect. It records the forty-eight most common types of talismans in the Divine Wood Sect, but only five of them come with detailed crafting methods.
These are the “Consciousness Talisman,” “Renewal Talisman,” “Regeneration Talisman,” “New Life Talisman,” and “Life Recovery Talisman.”
From their names, it is clear they are designed as a systematic set to be used for healing and saving lives.
The “Consciousness Talisman” is an inferior version of the “Resurrection Talisman.” It can be used to restore Spiritual Power. How much is restored depends on the level of the realm. However, it lacks the powerful effect of the Resurrection Talisman, which removes all negative effects.
The “Renewal Talisman” is quite powerful. It can regenerate severed fingers or even amputated limbs. If this talisman is used shortly after the injury, it can even reattach the severed part.
The “Regeneration Talisman” is the best-selling talisman within the lower market of the Divine Wood Sect. It can enhance a man’s virility.
The “New Life Talisman” allows cultivators who are beginning to age physically to experience the vigor of youth again. Its sales are also good.
The most powerful “Life Recovery Talisman” is used for saving lives. No matter how severe the injury, as long as you slap on this talisman, you can hold on to your last breath for three days. Of course, if your head has been chopped off, ten Life Recovery Talismans would be useless. It is generally used to carry out last wishes.
After reading this book of talisman-making insights, Chen Mobai had a fair idea about the Divine Wood Sect’s approach.
Turns out, this major sect of the East Wilderness recruits loose practitioners specifically to create talismans.
The contribution to the sect gained from making talismans can be accumulated. It is said that when it reaches ten thousand, it can be exchanged for a Foundation Building Pill..
