Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family - Chapter 184
Chapter 184: Chapter 106: System Panel Activation! Lottery!_2
Rarely does it appear on the market.
As for Fourth-Rank Talismans, he had never even heard of them.
Or rather, whether anyone in Jiang Country could draw a Fourth-Rank Talisman was still a question.
After all, it was exceedingly rare to find a Second-Rank Talisman Master.
A Third-Rank Talisman Master, even in the whole of Jiang Country, was as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
Going to places like Heavenly Sword Sect or Qingyun Sect, they could serve as Guest Elders.
“However, although this Life-Substitute Talisman seems powerful with the ability to substitute one’s fate and block evil, I’m not necessarily able to use a Fourth-Rank Talisman,” Lu Changsheng frowned slightly as he looked at the talisman before him.
The description of this Life-Substitute Talisman was naturally formidable.
It could replace someone in facing death.
And teleport them thousands of miles away.
It was an exceedingly rare, life-saving talisman.
But activating talismans, unlike Talisman Treasures or the Book of Malevolent Curses and Fates, required the expenditure of one’s own spiritual power and mental spirit.
With his current cultivation level, he could at most use Second-Rank Talismans.
He was simply incapable of employing a Fourth-Rank Talisman.
“But this was a problem I foresaw long ago,” Lu Changsheng said.
“My cultivation is too low at the moment and the ceiling for the system’s prizes tends to be rather high.”
“Just like when I drew magical treasures from the lottery, if I didn’t have the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, I’d just be collecting dust,” he let out a sigh, not dwelling on it further.
He retrieved the ‘Life-Substitute Talisman’ from the System Space.
Immediately,
a talisman looking like it was woven from golden silkworm threads, with profound symbolic lines, appeared in Lu Changsheng’s hand.
At the same time, detailed information about the talisman entered Lu Changsheng’s mind.
His eyes revealed an immediate look of surprise.
The Life-Substitute Talisman, a Fourth-Rank Superior Grade Talisman.
You must drip blood from between your eyebrows and from over your heart onto the talisman, then connect it to your own flesh and soul.
When facing a fatal attack or upon death, the Life-Substitute Talisman will automatically activate, taking on the death-dealing blow in your stead, and randomly teleporting you thousands of miles away.
This talisman only requires prior usage to link with one’s soul.
It doesn’t consume any mental spirit or mana to activate.
Which means, even with his current Qi Refinement Realm capabilities, he could use it.
“Truly a system product, a Fourth-Rank Talisman is indeed a fine item!” an excited feeling surged within Lu Changsheng.
He had just thought he would not be able to use this Fourth-Rank Talisman.
“With this Life-Substitute Talisman, as long as I don’t meet a Nascent Soul True Lord, even if I face a Nascent Soul Immortal, I can escape with my life!” his heart swelled with joy.
Lu Changsheng had many methods at his disposal now,
but his strength was ultimately too limited.
Even facing a Foundation Building Great Cultivator posed a danger.
But now with this Fourth-Rank Life-Substitute Talisman,
he had an added layer of assurance.
He could preserve his life and escape even against Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators and Nascent Soul Immortals.
As for Nascent Soul True Lords, Lu Changsheng dared not claim certainty.
Then, Lu Changsheng examined the golden talisman in his hand, one inch wide and three inches long,
trying to discern any clues from it.
“Is this what a Fourth-Rank Talisman looks like?
“I actually can’t even tell what material was used for the talisman paper, nor can I understand any of the patterns of the rune lines drawn on it.” He mused after a while.
He was hoping that with his Second-Rank Talisman-Making Skill, he might be able to glean something from this Fourth-Rank Talisman,
attempt to create a life-saving talisman with a similar effect.
After all, many exclusive talismans have been researched this way.
He acquired Second-Rank Talisman-Making Skill not just for the experience, but it also included all the common Basic Talismans.
However, this did not cover those rare and exclusive paths of talisman lore.
But after a while, Lu Changsheng understood he was overthinking it.
His Second-Rank Talisman-Making Skill was completely outclassed by this Fourth-Rank Talisman,
as if an elementary school student were trying to understand advanced mathematics; it was completely beyond him.
To glean something from it was far too difficult.
“Fourth-Rank Talismans are too profound. If it were a Third-Rank Talisman, perhaps I could make something out of it,” Lu Changsheng gave up the idea of contemplation and study.
Touching the spot between his eyebrows and then his chest, he forced out a drop of blood from his brow and from his heart, and applied it directly to the ‘Life-Substitute Talisman’ in his hand.
Instantly, after absorbing the two drops of blood, the Life-Substitute Talisman abruptly lifted into the air, igniting without fire.
It transformed into a golden figurine and shot into Lu Changsheng’s brow.
An enigmatic pulsation washed over him.
Though it soon dissipated.
“Is it done?” Lu Changsheng was startled.
He hadn’t expected that using a Fourth-Rank Talisman would be so fast.
With his eyes closed and looking inward, he immediately saw the golden figure the Life-Substitute Talisman had become within the sea of consciousness at his brow.
That golden figure sat motionless, seeming to contain a boundless and majestic power and was somehow connected to him in the unseen depths,
binding his flesh and soul.
In moments of lethal danger, it could serve as a safeguard.
“The Life-Substitute Talisman is miraculous indeed, worthy of a Fourth-Rank Talisman.
“It completely transcends my current understanding of the Talisman Path”
Lu Changsheng observed the Life-Substitute Talisman in his sea of consciousness, uttering a sigh of emotion.
After finishing a round of lottery,
Lu Changsheng remembered he had been back on Qing Zhu Mountain for almost half a year.
He had nearly exhausted materials for making the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique and Elixir Medicines for cultivation, necessitating replenishment.
Besides, three of his children were born in Nine Dragons Market, and it was time to pay the marketplace a visit.
He told his wives and concubines, then mounted the Iron Feather Eagle and left.
Two days later.
Lu Changsheng arrived at Nine Dragons Market.
