The Great Wild God - Chapter 105

Chapter 105 Spend More Than a Year in Cold Winter and Bitter Summer
Hearing Daoist Greenwood’s solemn instructions to Fen Zongya, Chen Xun knew that it was unusual for him to draw a water purification talisman so easily after he had done it twice.

When Zong Ya walked away, Chen Xun asked Daoist Cyanwood, “What’s wrong with me drawing talismans like this?”

“It’s not wrong, it’s too right,” Daoist Azurewood smiled bitterly. “I thought Zong Tu had exaggerated the difference between you and me. I saw him today and realized that I was too shallow.”

Chen Xun didn’t know for a moment what was so different about his talisman-making.

Daoist Azure Wood said, “For talisman making, ordinary people first memorize the profound talisman patterns. There can’t be any mistakes. As for writing talisman papers, they need to flow through the clouds and flow through the water. There can’t be any stagnation. Only in this way can the talisman be completed in one breath. The talisman will be formed and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will gather on the talisman paper without dissipating.” “The Water Purification Talisman is better. The amount of spiritual energy gathered is limited, so it won’t backfire. Otherwise, it can destroy the brush and burn the ink. If it’s serious, it can kill people …”

Chen Xun didn’t understand. He memorized the patterns of the profound talismans and followed them to condense the profound talismans in his soul sea. If there was a pattern, which one was stronger?

“This process is extremely complicated and arduous,” Daoist Greenwood continued. “Ordinary cultivators don’t know how many times they have to practice before they can master a profound talisman. Even if they were proficient in drawing their most skilled profound talismans, they would usually fail once or twice in three or five rounds. If it weren’t for Zong Ya interrupting, you would have been able to draw the Water Purification Talisman the first time you wrote it. What do you think is going to happen if this gets out? He was afraid that the entire Azure Water would be blown up. I’ve been traveling in Cloud Continent for more than 20 years, but I haven’t heard of anyone who can make it in the first try … ”

“Could it be that no one else has written so smoothly?” Chen Xun asked doubtfully.

“Yes, but it’s definitely not something a True Yang Realm cultivator can do,” Daoist Azurewood said. “When a Barbarian Martial Cultivator reaches the Minute Realm, he doesn’t need to do anything deliberately when his body and mind are in sync. His fists and feet can perfectly match the fist momentum visualized above his Soul Sea …”

Chen Xun said, “The same goes for me. When I think of profound symbols in the Soul Sea Temple, I will follow my heart and draw them into profound symbols. My cultivation realm is not necessarily higher than that of a subtle cultivator.”

Daoist Azure Wood couldn’t help but smile bitterly, “Your cultivation realm isn’t necessarily higher than that of a Minor Cultivator. However, in a savage martial battle, you intend to defend your soul realm, and your spiritual sense doesn’t move. When you draw talismans, your spiritual sense will wander around. There’s a big difference between them. You can do as you please right away. Perhaps, among the three to five hundred thousand Talisman Masters, you might not be as talented as you are.”

“It’s not that exaggerated, is it?” Chen Xun smiled.

“I traveled to Cloud Continent and learned talisman techniques from others. I was once a genius chosen by thousands of miles. However, I have practiced talisman making for 30 years. However, the six most skilled low-level profound talismans cannot be drawn at one time with 100% certainty. My 30 years of hard work are not as good as you. What do you want me to say to stop exaggerating?” Daoist Greenwood asked with a smile.

Chen Xun scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.

Daoist Azure Wood sighed emotionally, “If it were an ordinary cultivator, even if they advanced to the middle stage of the Reincarnation Realm, they might not have the ability to use both knowledge and will …”

Hearing Daoist Greenwood’s words, Chen Xun’s heart trembled. He knew that Daoist Greenwood’s knowledge was truly far inferior to Ge Yi’s.

Only then did Chen Xun know that his ability to draw profound talismans in one stroke was actually related to the fact that the Six-Armed Giant Demon Blood was related to the cultivation of the Fu Long Art. In fact, one thought was in his soul sea and one thought was in his pen. His spiritual sense was divided into two uses.

Since Grandpa was able to entrust his life and death to Daoist Greenwood, Chen Xun naturally trusted him as well. He didn’t hide anything and took out two Cyan Flame Pearls. At the same time, he locked them with his Spiritual Sense and hung them in front of him. He said,

“I am indeed capable of using both knowledge and skill. However, I myself feel that this matter is strange, so I did not explain it to Senior.”

When Daoist Azurewood saw that Chen Xun was truly capable of controlling two talismans at the same time, he was shocked. He shook his head and warned Chen Xun, “You can’t tell anyone about this until you have the ability to protect yourself. Yesterday, it was said that experts in the Heaven Origin Realm usually do not steal other people’s bloodlines, but there is one exception.”

“Why is it an exception?” Chen Xun asked.

“Heaven Origin Realm and Origin Core Realm experts usually only have three to five hundred years of lifespan if they don’t have a Life Extension Medicine. At most, they won’t exceed eight hundred years of age. With his lifespan approaching, he was still unable to make a breakthrough, so he was unwilling to sit down. Those who returned to the mountains and wilderness would reincarnate, or have secret techniques to protect their bloodline, and their spirituality would not be lost. However, in the case of a stronger Dao fetus, taking possession of it would be a good choice. It would also save a lot of trouble in cultivation … ”

Hearing Daoist Greenwood’s words, Chen Xun didn’t find it strange. The words Su Tang had warned him about should also be about this matter.

There were no powerful sects behind him. If he really wanted to target a Heavenly Origin Realm or Origin Core Realm expert, no one would avenge his loss of the Dao Embryo.

And this situation was not something that he could change just by escaping from Cang Lan.

Cultivation was originally a dangerous thing. Chen Xun thought to himself that even if he were to be more careful in the future, he wouldn’t become panicked and uneasy because of this.

At this point, Daoist Azurewood knew that Chen Xun’s ability to comprehend the method of cultivating spiritual energy was bound to have a close relationship with his own bloodline. However, he would no longer ask about his cultivation. He couldn’t help but sigh with emotion,

“Some people are born to stand above everyone!”

Chen Xun scratched his head embarrassedly and said, “I thought I could draw a few more profound talismans to exchange for medicinal pills. Looks like this method won’t work …”

“If I can draw at most eleven or twelve low-level profound talismans in a day, then you can only draw twelve talismans a day. Even if you count them under my name, no one will be suspicious.” Daoist Greenwood said.

Drawing profound symbols, consuming materials, and delaying cultivation were one aspect. Even if they were familiar with it, the failure rate was quite high, which was the most troublesome problem.

Cultivators at the Azure Yang Realm generally only knew how to draw their own commonly used profound talismans. One was that they consumed a lot of energy, and the other was that they were proficient in practicing their hands. The success rate would be relatively high and very good. However, if he wanted to draw profound talismans for sale, he would usually only lose money and not make a profit.

Chen Xun’s situation was different. If others spent too much time drawing profound talismans, they would consume their qi and blood. If their spiritual sense delayed their cultivation, he could borrow it to cultivate spiritual energy.

As long as no one ran over to interrupt him, he would be able to draw profound talismans in an instant.

From now on, even if Chen Xun drew ten profound talismans every day, he would still be able to earn a lot of medicinal pills.

****************

Zhao Tu quickly found out that Diamond Talisman, Wind Imperial Talisman, and other wilderness exploration were extremely practical. They were extremely popular in Tianma Lake Stronghold City, and one could even sell for ten to twenty talismans. As for profound talismans like Clean Water and Dust Avoidance, they were like chicken ribs, and even two or three talisman coins were not paid much attention to.

Chen Xun was idle as well. He followed Daoist Greenwood to learn the art of drawing talismans. He drew two Diamond Talismans, two Wind Imperial Talismans, and seven or eight other talismans every day. He asked Zhao Tu to bring them to Tianma Lake Stronghold City for sale.

There were eighteen or nineteen Origin Gathering Pills in such a day, which was far beyond Chen Xun’s imagination.

Chen Xun consumed four Essence Gathering Pills every day, adding on Daoist Greenwood, Grandpa Sect Diagram, Zong Ya, Zong Ling, and Nan Xi’s, three or four more Essence Gathering Pills were enough to replenish his qi and blood. The surplus pills were all used to exchange for the materials needed to refine the Spirit Gathering Formation.

Refining talisman seals and materials for array discs would be difficult to gather in a short period of time, and this was only one aspect.

Speaking of artifact forging, the most important step was to carve the secret seal of the Profound Talisman into weapons such as armor, making it have all sorts of wondrous uses. It was no different from drawing a Profound Talisman in essence.

However, Daoist Azurewood had allowed Chen Xun to practice refining some of the redundant copper essence from the Black Talisman Copper Seal. Chen Xun knew that refining weapons was ten or a hundred times more difficult than he had imagined.

The Scarlet Essence Copper was more than ten times harder than the Essence Iron. Using the Qi and Blood Divine Splendor to melt and carve mysterious talismans on it that were several times more delicate than hair, not only did the Qi and Blood Divine Splendor need to be incomparably pure, it also needed to be cultivated to perfection.

If there was a sliver of stagnation, the entire piece of priceless smelting material would turn into a pile of scrap metal that wasn’t worth much.

No matter how confident an Azure Yang Realm cultivator was, there were few who could refine their own magic array talismans. Even early Reincarnation Realm experts rarely tried forging talismans.

Apart from rare materials, the main reason why talismans were so expensive was because the failure rate was too high.

If he couldn’t make talismans, destroying one or two talisman papers, with Chen Xun’s current wealth, he didn’t even need to blink an eye. As for refining talismans, there were slight mistakes. Even if a small piece of inconspicuous red copper was crippled, it would be worth more than a hundred talismans in soup.

However, Chen Xun and the others had no other choice.

If they didn’t refine the Spirit Gathering Formation themselves, who would they go to?

Chen Xun’s Soul Sea was formed from the six-armed Giant Demon Blood, and it could continuously breed spiritual sense without fear or lack of it. When it came to the purity of Qi and blood, Chen Xun was confident that he was far stronger than the other brutal martial artists of the same level, but there was still a small gap between them and the realm of perfection and harmony.

Before, he didn’t even know that there was such a big difference in the circulation of Qi and blood in his body.

Next, Chen Xun asked Zhao Tu, Nan Liao, and the others to secretly gather the materials needed to refine the formation. At the same time, he asked Daoist Azure Wood for advice on the various problems in Foundation Establishment cultivation. He tried his best to cultivate the Qi and blood in his entire body to a perfectly fine state when he truly started to refine the formation.

There was no time to cultivate in the mountains. Zong Ya and the others would occasionally go out. Chen Xun and Daoist Cyanwood guarded the stone ridge and cultivated all day long to learn this talisman forging technique.

The white horse crossed the gap. In the blink of an eye, spring and autumn arrived. Frost and snow covered the mountain. In a trance, spring was glorious and summer was beautiful again. Leaves fell into autumn …

One day, Zong Ya returned from Tianma Lake and walked to the foot of Shiling Waterfall. He cried out in surprise, “Why is Grandpa’s hair grey?”

Chen Xun and Daoist Azurewood had been at the bottom of the cliff all day, together with Zong Tu. On the contrary, they couldn’t see the gradual changes in the details. After Zong Ya reminded them, Chen Xun saw that Grandpa Zong Tu’s beard, which covered his face, was actually gray.

Chen Xun was stunned. This was clearly a sign that his life force was being drained at an accelerated rate.

“Old friend Zong Tu, at this point, your soul will be exhausted. You can only ignite your last bit of life essence to support your spiritual energy cultivation.” Daoist Greenwood sighed and said with a long sigh.

Chen Xun’s heart was filled with mixed emotions. His soul sea was formed from the six-armed Giant Demon Blood, and he had all sorts of abilities, but he didn’t know that other people would use this method to cultivate spiritual energy. They really wanted to risk their lives.

If Grandpa had no hope of cultivating spiritual energy in the end, he would directly sit under the cliff and return his soul to the mountains.

Chen Xun barged into the flowing water and stuffed the Nine Elements Orifice Nurturing Pill into Grandpa’s body. However, Zong Tu didn’t want to waste any other resources by clenching his fists.

Chen Xun walked out of the waterfall and his entire body was drenched in flowing water. He thought to himself that he might be separated from Grandpa Tianren from now on, and he couldn’t help but shed tears on his cheeks.
