Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 342
[Chapter 341: Talisman Jade (Congratulations to the reader 16511895272223117056)]
After a scream, the green-robed man hurriedly took out his eyeballs, and it seemed that both eyes were bleeding.
His breathing became unstable for a while. After taking a few breaths, he continued to swallow several kinds of elixirs and began to practice in front of Fang Xi. It seemed that he had just suppressed his injuries. Then he wailed: “You kid… did you kill the direct descendants of seventeen or eighteen Yuanying old demons? Or did you wipe out an entire family of Yuanying? Why is the light of the resentful souls on your body so strong?”
“Is it very strong?”
Fang Xi looked doubtful: “I don’t know… After all, I just killed a demon…”
“It’s impossible that it’s just one person… It’s recorded in the classics that when observing the ‘Ghost Attraction’ with the ‘Eye of the Demon-Seeking Dog’, one can only see a faint circle of blood light… But the blood light on your body before was at least the result of dozens of Ghost Attractions superimposed on each other. It even backfired on my secret technique. This ‘Eye of the Demon-Seeking Dog’ is useless…”
The green-robed man looked at the dull eyeball in his hand with regret, then looked at Fang Xi and exclaimed in amazement: “No matter what… I finally believe that you and a certain demon sect have a deep hatred!”
Fang Xi was speechless for a while, then said: “Stop talking nonsense, do you have a way to crack it?”
If he was not unsure whether the other party had the method to remove the curse, he would have thought of capturing the man and searching his soul.
“this……”
The man in green robe pondered for a while, then made a hand gesture. The green light covering his face flashed and disappeared in an instant, revealing his true appearance.
He has a head full of silver hair and three long wisps of beard, and it seems that he must have been a handsome man when he was young.
With a green robe, her temperament is ethereal, completely eliminating the previous gloomy and sinister look.
“I am ‘Master Qingyang’, nice to meet you, fellow Taoist.”
Master Qingyang smiled widely and bowed.
“Master Qingyang…”
Fang Xi looked at the other person with his spiritual sense and found that he was still at the initial stage of Jindan cultivation. He couldn’t help but narrow his eyes slightly: “It seems that there is no such name as Daoist friend in Yuan Country…”
“Of course, because I was born in Jiang Country… In Jiang Country, the evil ways are very powerful, and the righteous ways can only struggle to hold on…”
Master Qingyang briefly introduced his own background.
“It’s actually a cultivator from Jiang Country?!”
Fang Xi’s expression was solemn: “Jiang country cultivators, are you coming to Yuan country to secretly form the Heavenly Alliance in order to interfere in my Yuan country’s immortal cultivation world?”
“Not really… The Jiang Kingdom’s demon sect, the Seven Evils Palace, has long been secretly supporting the Scarlet Blood Sect. We are only here to help the Yuan Kingdom’s righteous sect out of righteous indignation…”
Master Qingyang sighed: “That is to say, I have confirmed that you are not a spy of the Demonic Path, otherwise I would not have introduced myself…”
“Just relying on the ‘Ghost Attraction’?”
Fang Xi was slightly surprised: “Couldn’t it be a self-directed and self-acted play, deliberately letting a demon sect disciple be killed by me?”
“Hehe… Daoist friend, the fact that you asked this question shows that you don’t understand this magic secret technique. The price is quite high… In the entire Red Blood Sect, there may not be a single cultivator who has been infected with the ‘Ghost Attraction’… Only the core true teachings of the ‘Seven Evils Palace’ may have a chance… I don’t think I am so valuable that the ‘Seven Evils Palace’ would be so deliberate to arrange an undercover agent.”
Master Qingyang shook his head.
“So you are actually a righteous person, I am so disrespectful…”
Fang Xi clasped his fists and understood something in his mind.
No wonder the Heavenly Alliance wanted to help Mu Yu take revenge, it turned out to be to weaken the power of the Red Blood Cult!
“Alas… In the Yuan Kingdom, the Qingye Chamber of Commerce has always been neutral, and the Hunyuan Sect has signed an alliance with the Red Blood Cult… We pity their misfortune and are angry at their lack of resistance… But we can only do nothing but follow the instructions from above, lie low first, and secretly accumulate strength…”
Master Qingyang said, “I think you are a talented person. If you are willing to join the Heavenly Alliance… I am willing to offer you the method to break the curse. You should know… although this resentful soul attractor is difficult for us to detect, it is extremely dazzling in the eyes of some old demons. Even if you are not from their sect, they will be quite hostile… If you keep carrying this mark, I am afraid you may encounter disasters at any time in the future.”
“Don’t worry about that, my friend. There are only three or four Yuanying Zhenjun in the entire Yuan Kingdom… As long as I don’t go to the Red Blood Sect’s territory, it’s fine… I just don’t know what the conditions are for joining this Tianmeng?”
Fang Xi pondered for a moment and finally asked this question.
“This is easy… As long as you swear an oath to the ‘Heavenly Path Monument’, you will no longer be bound by anything.”
Master Qingyang replied: “This ‘Heavenly Dao Tablet’ is a rare treasure. Even if you are a Yuanying old monster, if you violate the oath made to it, you will have to pay a huge price. As for the content of the oath? First, you must not betray the Heavenly Alliance. Second, you must serve the Heavenly Alliance for at least a hundred years. Third…”
The smile on Fang Xi’s face faded little by little.
Although the content of the oath was not harsh, many of the terms were unacceptable to him.
What’s more… he really wasn’t in a hurry at all.
“Now that we have a clue, it means that there is a high possibility that the method to break the curse can be found in Jiang State… There is no need to rush to approach…”
“After I reach Nascent Soul stage, I will directly visit the mountain gates of those Nascent Soul sects and exchange them for something. It’s not a bad idea.”
“After all… although my enemies are powerful, they are not in this world…”
After thinking it over, Fang Xi looked at Master Qingyang and smiled: “In this case, let’s talk about the transaction of the Jade Talisman Technique first…”
Master Qingyang felt helpless when he saw this, but he also knew that the minds of high-level cultivators were extremely firm.
Individual cultivators like Yun Jiezi valued freedom over everything else, and could only sigh, “The Thousand Miles Message Talisman is not easy to make, and it costs ten high-quality spirit stones… In addition, we will not disclose the method of refining the Talisman Jade, but we will sell the Talisman Jade to the public at a very favorable price…”
“Haha… Is this the style of the Heavenly Alliance? How stingy…”
Fang Xi complained a few words, then took out a dozen high-grade spirit stones with some pain, in exchange for a jade slip and several pieces of ‘talisman jade’.
“This is still a concession given to you by me… As for the next few talisman skills, they cannot be bought with spirit stones.”
Master Qingyang said calmly: “Of course, if you are one of us, I can teach you the Jade Talisman Technique…”
Fang Xi was obviously a little hesitant, but finally waved his hand: “Let me think about it again…”
…
Xuanbing Palace.
Xiaohan Cave.
“Greetings, sir!”
Jiang Ling was tending to the spiritual medicine garden. She was slightly surprised when she saw Fang Xi walking in from outside.
It turns out that this supreme elder has actually been out?
However, she quickly composed herself and bowed.
“That’s all…”
Fang Xi was playing with two jade talismans in his hands and was in a very good mood.
After comparison, he confirmed that the jade talisman sold to him by Master Qingyang was exactly the same as the jade talisman made from the half of the secret technique he obtained in Qingmu Sect.
Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.
In this way, there is no need to worry about getting your neck stuck on the talisman paper.
It’s a pity that he has only learned a method of drawing jade talismans, and cannot obtain other powerful talisman-making skills, which is a bit regrettable.
“But Master Qingyang is also an open scheme… He has tasted the sweetness. If he doesn’t help with a few big things in the future, I’m afraid he won’t be able to think about subsequent transactions, and he will greatly offend the Heavenly Alliance.”
At this time, Fang Xi did not notice Jiang Ling’s somewhat resentful look at all, but said excitedly: “I will immediately go into seclusion to practice a skill. Here are some material lists… Take them to the Miscellaneous Hall and ask the disciples below to collect them.”
As he spoke, he stuffed a jade slip into Jiang Ling’s hand.
Jiang Ling responded respectfully, and with a glance of his mind, he was a little confused: “Purple jade powder, thousand insect wax, cinnabar sand… Please rest assured, although these materials are still precious, I have a lot of reserves in the palace…”
“That’s great. This time, the contribution will be increased by 10%.”
Fang Xi smiled slightly.
These materials are naturally necessary for refining talisman jade.
The Xuanbing Palace worked very quickly. In less than three days, all the materials were gathered and sent to Xiaohan Cave.
…
Inside the refining room.
Fang Xi took out a piece of talisman jade and silently recalled the method he had comprehended to refine the “Thousand Mile Message Talisman”.
After a moment, he opened his mouth and spewed out a wisp of Dan fire, which landed on the talisman jade.
As the fire burned, the talisman jade became even more radiant and translucent, as if it would melt in the next moment…
Seeing this, Fang Xi immediately grabbed a handful of vermilion cinnabar. The cinnabar was bright red in color and full of spiritual energy. It was obviously a rare top-grade product.
He blew gently, and the cinnabar seemed to be affected by an inexplicable heat, melting in mid-air, and then fell on the talisman jade, seeping into it little by little, forming a certain pattern.
“The method of refining this ancient jade talisman is somewhat similar to refining a weapon… If it is a wooden talisman, you also need to prepare a carving knife…”
“Are talismans and weapon refining inseparable? For me, this is a little difficult.”
Just when Fang Xi was slightly distracted.
Snap!
A very crisp sound was heard from the jade talisman, and a crack appeared, allowing spiritual energy to leak out. The jade talisman then broke into pieces, fell to the ground, and emitted a very crisp sound.
When Fang Xi saw this scene, his expression suddenly turned ugly.
This jade talisman is considered scrapped.
He took a deep breath and began to reflect on the process of making the talisman:
“This is not my fault. I am not good at refining equipment… The craftsmanship of refining jade talismans is very different from ordinary talismans.”
“Perhaps… this talisman-making technique has been tampered with, making it more difficult and less likely to succeed…”
“Perhaps Master Qingyang is waiting to see me make a fool of myself? Then he will make a lot of money from me in the next Talisman Jade transaction?”
Fang Xi sighed, feeling that it was very possible.
Fortunately, the method of refining talisman jade was not a secret to him, which could save a lot of cost.
“I can’t join the Heavenly Alliance, but I can stay on the periphery and get some benefits, which shouldn’t be a big problem…”
“As for the action… let’s talk about it when I reach the late stage of Jindan.”
Fang Xi thought as he picked up the second jade talisman…
