I have practiced so well that every attack I make is sure to hit.

"There are many practitioners in the Daxuan Dynasty, and talismans are in great demand. Every talisman, no matter its level, is in short supply once it is on the market."

Patriarch Li said.

"Zhang Lingfeng, as long as you promise to help us purchase a set of exercises to awaken spiritual roots, as well as elixirs and prescriptions overseas, these spirit stones and talismans will be yours." said the head of the Qian family, pointing to the spirit stones and talismans on the table.

In the world of cultivation, the techniques, elixirs and prescriptions for awakening spiritual roots are all rare treasures that are often in short supply.

Zhang Lingfeng's eyes flashed as he looked at the spirit stones and talismans on the table, secretly estimating their value in his heart.

Spirit stones are the universal currency in the world of cultivation, while spirit talismans are the medium used by cultivators to cast spells. Both are indispensable treasures for cultivators.

The Daxuan Dynasty has many sects, abundant spiritual energy, and many practitioners. If you don't have enough spiritual talismans with you, even if Ao Dagang is there to support you, it will sometimes be difficult to move forward.

As for spirit stones, there is no need to say more.

"Master Zhao, as you all know, the techniques, pills and prescriptions for awakening spiritual roots are all rare treasures, and I can't guarantee 100% that I can buy them." Zhang Lingfeng pondered for a moment and said slowly.

Zhao Chengfeng frowned slightly when he heard this, obviously not satisfied with Zhang Lingfeng's answer.

"Why don't you buy it directly from them? With your financial resources, I believe few people can refuse it."

Zhang Lingfeng thought for a moment and asked again.

"We are exiled criminals. If the emperor of the Great Xuan Dynasty or the people of the Haotian Sect knew about this, there would be some trouble. Secondly, even in the Great Xuan Dynasty, the techniques, elixirs, and even prescriptions for awakening spiritual roots are rare. Ordinary people can't buy or see them at all. But you and your master are different. You have the hope of entering the Haotian Sect, and you are extremely talented. You and I know each other well. Instead of trusting others, it is better to cooperate with you."

Patriarch Sun explained.

"Zhang Lingfeng, we know how difficult this matter is, but as long as you do your best, no matter what the result is, these spirit stones and talismans will be yours." Qian Duoduo, the head of the Qian family, a fat middle-aged man with a smiling face, interrupted at the right time.

The head of the Sun family, Sun Wuhen, a young man with a stern face and sharp eyes, also nodded, indicating that he agreed with Qian Duoduo's words.

Li Qiushui, the head of the Li family, was a gentle and beautiful woman. She opened her red lips and said softly, "Zhang Lingfeng, although our four major families are secluded from the world, we also have some special channels and information. As long as you can help us this time, we will do our best to help you if you need anything in the future in the cultivation world."

Hearing this, Zhang Lingfeng's heart moved. He understood that although these four major families did not usually show off their strength, their strength and foundation should not be underestimated.

After all, they are descendants of immortal cultivators from the Daxuan Dynasty.

If they are really willing to lend a helping hand when I need it, then this spiritual stone and talisman are definitely worth fighting for.

"Okay, I promise you, I will try my best to find the skills, pills and prescriptions for awakening your spiritual roots overseas." Zhang Lingfeng took a deep breath and said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, the four family heads all showed a hint of joy. They knew that Zhang Lingfeng's connections and abilities in overseas areas were extraordinary. After all, his wife, Chen Duling, was a disciple of Yun Chuanzi, the elder of Haotian Sect.

Since he has agreed, there is great hope.

"However, I also have a condition." Zhang Lingfeng changed the subject and continued.

"What conditions? As long as we can do it, we will definitely agree to it." Zhao Chengfeng asked hurriedly. He was afraid that Zhang Lingfeng would make some excessive demands.

"I want the talisman-drawing technique you can use to make talismans." Zhang Lingfeng said bluntly.

The art of drawing talismans is the basic spell for making talismans. Although it is only at the elementary level, its value in the world of cultivation is immeasurable.

When Zhao Chengfeng heard this, his face changed slightly, and he was obviously a little surprised by Zhang Lingfeng's request.

The other three also looked unhappy.

"Zhang Lingfeng, do you know the value of the art of drawing talismans? It is the secret of our Zhao family." Zhao Chengfeng said in a deep voice.

"Of course I know its value, but I also believe that your four major families will not let my work be in vain." Zhang Lingfeng smiled and said confidently.

Qian Duoduo, Sun Wuhen and Li Qiu Shui all fell silent. They were obviously weighing the pros and cons.

After a while, Zhao Chengfeng took a deep breath and said slowly: "Okay, I promise you, as long as you can help us find the skills, elixirs and prescriptions for awakening spiritual roots, I will teach you the art of drawing talismans."

"However, I also have a condition, which is that you must establish a foundation for our Zhao family in the Daxuan Dynasty in the overseas land that is of sufficient weight to satisfy us."

Zhang Lingfeng laughed when he heard this and said, "As long as I master the art of drawing talismans, I will naturally be able to gain a foothold in the Great Xuan Dynasty. I will definitely not let you down."

In this way, a transaction was reached based on the respective interests of both parties.

Zhang Lingfeng took the magic stones and talismans and embarked on a journey to the overseas land of the Daxuan Dynasty, while the four family heads were waiting for his good news at home.

"Are we being too generous by just giving him the talisman-drawing technique?"

After Zhang Lingfeng left, Qian Duoduo frowned.

"Anyway, his master has taken a copy. Even if he doesn't give him the talisman drawing technique now, his master will give it to him in the future."

Zhao Chengfeng said.

Ao Dagang was cunning and changeable, and had already tricked the Zhao family into learning the basic art of drawing talismans.

That's why Zhao Chengfeng gave it so readily.

"What if the master and his apprentice tease us?"

Li Qiu Shui said worriedly.

"Our four major families are not vegetarians. If they really do this, then there is no need for the Great Sheng Dynasty to exist."

Patriarch Sun said with a gloomy face.

Although they don't have any skills, elixirs or even prescriptions to awaken their spiritual roots, they have a strong foundation. Once they retaliate, ordinary people will not be able to withstand it.

About ten days later, Zhang Lingfeng, after going through untold hardships, finally successfully crossed the dangerous Shiwan Mountains.

When he stepped into the Black Sea, he felt both uneasiness about the unknown and a persistent pursuit of his dream of becoming an immortal.

The merchant ship he was on was like a small boat, shuttling through the rough Black Sea, and the ship was full of practitioners from all over the world.

Among these practitioners, there are children from prominent families. They carry the expectations of their families and are proud and confident.

There are also independent cultivators like Zhang Lingfeng, who are alone and eager to make a difference in the path of cultivation with their passion and unremitting efforts.

In this limited space, people of various personalities and backgrounds are intertwined, forming a delicate balance, and also hiding the sparks of competition and cooperation.

Ever since Yun Chuanzi mysteriously appeared in the imperial city and took Chen Duling away, the cultivators in Dasheng have been talking about the Haotian Sect outside the Black Sea.

It is a place full of opportunities and challenges. It is said that every few years, the Haotian Sect will select a new group of disciples, and the cultivators who are selected will undoubtedly embark on the fast track to cultivating immortals.

Therefore, everyone on this merchant ship hopes to seize this rare opportunity and try their luck.

Zhang Lingfeng sat in the small cabin, and the noise from the outside world seemed to have nothing to do with him. In his hand, he tightly held the elementary talisman-drawing secret book given by Zhao Chengfeng, which was his only means of making a living. Although it was only an elementary talisman-drawing secret book, which could only record the lowest level of spiritual talismans, it was a precious start for Zhang Lingfeng.

He knew very well that in the world of immortal cultivation, strength was the foundation of everything, and the art of drawing talismans was undoubtedly a skill that could quickly improve strength.

Therefore, Zhang Lingfeng began his cultivation journey.

He abandoned the interference of the outside world and devoted all his mind to the study of the art of drawing talismans. He carefully studied the drawing method of each talisman and the law of the flow of spiritual energy, and constantly tried to integrate his understanding and perception into the talismans.

On the boat, Zhang Lingfeng met several practitioners who were also interested in the art of drawing talismans.

They exchanged their thoughts and shared their experiences, which helped Zhang Lingfeng improve his talisman drawing skills faster. Among them, a female cultivator named Li Wan'er gave Zhang Lingfeng a lot of help.

She is not only proficient in the art of drawing talismans, but also has unique insights into the use of spiritual energy.

One day, Zhang Lingfeng was concentrating on studying the art of drawing talismans. Li Wan'er came over and said softly, "Lingfeng, your understanding of the art of drawing talismans is getting deeper and deeper. I really admire you. However, the path to cultivating immortals is not only about drawing talismans. You need to learn more about other aspects of cultivation."

Zhang Lingfeng raised his head and looked at Li Wan'er gratefully: "Wan'er, thanks to your guidance, I know my shortcomings and will work hard to develop in an all-round way."

At this moment, a proud voice came: "Humph, it's just the art of drawing talismans, what's the big deal. I am a descendant of a famous family, and I practice authentic magic."

Zhang Lingfeng and Li Wan'er turned around and saw a young monk in gorgeous clothes looking at them with disdain.

Zhang Lingfeng smiled slightly, not caring about his words: "Everyone has his own path of cultivation, there is no need to compare. Although the art of drawing talismans is small, it also has its own unique features."

Li Wan'er also nodded in agreement: "That's right, the road to becoming an immortal is long and arduous. The most important thing is to stick to your own path and keep moving forward."

However, just as Zhang Lingfeng's skill in drawing talismans was improving, the merchant ship encountered a sudden shipwreck.

The huge waves dragged the merchant ship into a whirlpool on the seabed. The people on the ship panicked and fled in all directions. Zhang Lingfeng and Li Wan'er were also separated. They struggled hard in the darkness, trying to find each other.

The cold sea water devoured everything like a demon, and they could only rely on their weak spiritual perception to find each other.

Fortunately, Zhang Lingfeng used the talisman-drawing technique he had just mastered to draw a water-avoiding talisman at the critical moment.

The talisman emitted mysterious rays of light that enveloped him and allowed him to breathe freely in the water.

Relying on the power of the talisman, he shuttled through the water and finally found Li Wan'er who was also struggling in the water.

They hugged each other tightly, feeling each other's warmth.

At the critical moment of life and death, the two cherished this rare friendship even more.

The two worked together, using their respective training techniques, and eventually escaped from the whirlpool at the bottom of the sea.

However, when they surfaced, they found that the merchant ship had disappeared, leaving only the two of them floating alone in the vast ocean.

"There is an island ahead, follow me."

Fortunately, Zhang Lingfeng had practiced the art of wielding swords.

He controlled the Bloodthirsty Blade and pulled Li Wan'er up from the sea.

It staggered all the way and sped towards the deserted island.

The environment of this deserted island is harsh and full of unknown dangers.

The merchant ship capsized and many monks died in the Black Sea.

But there were a few people who had the ability to fly with swords and managed to break free from the sea and escape from the whirlpool.

Among them, there was a practitioner named Han Lei, who was tall and strong and had great strength.

He arrived at the deserted island to rest almost after the two of them.

He was very interested in Zhang Lingfeng and Li Wan'er's talisman drawing skills, and took the initiative to talk to them: "Your talisman drawing skills are really amazing, can you teach me a few tricks? I also have some experience in controlling spiritual energy, we can communicate with each other."

Zhang Lingfeng smiled and replied: "Of course, we can learn from each other and make progress together. On the road to becoming an immortal, one more friend means one more strength."

Li Wan'er also added: "That's right, the road to becoming an immortal is long and arduous, and we need to help each other to go further."

The two said this but remained wary of Han Lei.

Zhang Lingfeng remembered that when the merchant ship capsized and he and Li Wan'er were sucked into the whirlpool in the Black Sea, he saw a figure break free from the whirlpool and stand on the sea. That person was none other than Han Lei.

As someone who has not yet awakened his spiritual roots but has cultivated his spiritual power to the extreme in the Qi Refining Realm, Zhang Lingfeng is very clear about the importance of spiritual roots. Han Lei should be a strong person who has awakened his spiritual roots and cultivated his spiritual power to the extreme in the Qi Refining Realm.

Even Zhang Lingfeng always felt that Han Lei was different from many independent cultivators in Dasheng. He was not only powerful, but also knowledgeable, as if he had been to the Daxuan Dynasty a long time ago.

Others went there in groups in order to be tested by the Haotian Sect and become disciples of the Haotian Sect, or to make a living in the Daxuan Dynasty, acquire powerful immortal cultivation techniques, and achieve a breakthrough in their cultivation.

But Han Lei didn't seem to care about these things. Instead, he liked to listen to people's past.

It is because of this that the other party knew that he and Li Wan'er could draw talismans.

This sudden appearance on a deserted island together made Zhang Lingfeng feel that they were well prepared, so he pretended to acknowledge them and carefully observed their every move.

"Then why don't we sit down now and share our experiences, such as drawing talismans or cultivating immortals."

Han Lei smiled.

"Okay."

Li Wan'er nodded.

"Row."

Zhang Lingfeng had no objection either.

But they couldn't help but form a triangle and everyone sat on the beach together.

Li Wan'er took out a primary talisman that she had drawn, but underneath the primary talisman, there was an advanced talisman hidden. She raised her eyes and glanced at Han Lei.

"Howl!"

Zhang Lingfeng drew his bloodthirsty knife and slashed at Li Wan'er.

"you……"

Li Wan'er's body stiffened, she was caught off guard.

Han Lei was shocked and hurriedly pulled Li Wan'er away, but he found a terrifying force that seemed to lock Li Wan'er. He watched as Li Wan'er's shoulder was cut in half by Zhang Lingfeng. (End of this chapter)
