Mortal Cultivator: Lin Tianzun

Chapter 18: Ascension Conference (7)

At this time, a young man in his twenties walked onto the stage. His posture was upright, just like a standing pine tree.

She was wearing a white dress as white as snow, the hem of her dress fluttering gently in the breeze, and she exuded an ethereal and unique temperament.

On the white clothes, there are cloud patterns carefully embroidered with silver thread. They appear and disappear with his every move, just like misty clouds freely moving through the clothes. It is obvious at a glance that it is the work of a skilled craftsman.

His face was as white as jade, and his facial features were as delicate as finely carved jade. There was an innate pride between his brows, as if it was innate, but his eyes were full of scrutiny, as if he was carefully evaluating Lin Fan's current strength.

He stood firmly, crossed his arms, raised his head slightly, and said to Lin Fan, "How much of your magic power do you have left? One level, or two levels?"

I see, you've just been through that intense fight, and you must be pretty exhausted. I've been coveting this spot in the Yellow Maple Valley for a long time, and there's also a Foundation Establishment Pill as a reward. I'll take it today, so you understand that the path to immortality is one of strength."

When the many casual cultivators in the audience heard the words "Foundation Establishment Pill", their minds were instantly captivated, and greedy and salivating expressions appeared on their faces.

Some of them even felt that since they had a treasure like the Foundation Establishment Pill, they were willing to take some risks.

After all, Lin Fan had fought several fierce battles in succession, and his mana must have been consumed greatly, so he was not without a chance to win.

The more they thought about it, the more they felt that they had a chance of coming out on top, and many people began to get restless.

Lin Fan listened to his slightly sarcastic words without any ripples in his heart. His expression remained indifferent as he responded, "Humph, true ability isn't measured by empty words. Just relying on your twelfth-level Qi training, you think you can defeat me? That's a joke. If you have the guts, come on, and see who's the boss in the end."

The young man's expression changed slightly when he heard Lin Fan's words, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his arrogant demeanor and snorted coldly, "Alright, since you're so stubborn, I'll grant you my wish and show you how powerful I am!"

As he spoke, he slapped the storage bag on his waist, and a flash of inspiration came from it, and he took out a folding fan emitting soft white light.

As soon as the folding fan appeared, a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy emanated from it. On the fan was painted a landscape painting with rolling hills and gurgling water, which gave people a feeling of tranquility, remoteness and otherworldliness.

But Lin Fan knew in his heart that this seemingly elegant magic weapon actually had a hidden edge and possessed a powerful force that should not be underestimated, so he became secretly alert.

Then, the young man took out another defensive magic weapon, which was a small and exquisite jade pendant.

The jade pendant is emerald green all over, crystal clear, and engraved with some mysterious runes.

As the runes flashed, a faint warm halo enveloped the jade pendant, forming an invisible protective force that firmly protected the young man's body.

After doing all this, the young man held a folding fan and gently waved it towards Lin Fan. The seemingly casual movement brought up a gust of spiritual power, which swept towards Lin Fan like a surging wave.

Seeing this, Lin Fan immediately clenched the Star-Breaking Sword in his hand, mobilized the remaining magic power in his body, and prepared for battle.

Although he had just experienced a fierce battle and consumed a lot of mana, he was confident that he could use his powerful firepower to blast out a spot with the talisman in his hand.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan no longer hesitated. He slapped his storage bag and took out a golden light shield talisman.

As soon as the talisman appeared, it burst into a dazzling golden light, runes flickered in the light, and then the talisman paper automatically burned, turning into a huge golden light shield, tightly covering Lin Fan.

A layer of brilliant golden light flowed on the surface of the light shield, like an indestructible armor, emitting powerful spiritual power fluctuations. Even if a powerful attack fell on it, it would surely be able to withstand some.

Just as the golden light shield turned into a light shield to protect himself, Lin Fan quickly took out a Soul-Returning Pill from the storage bag with his other hand and swallowed it into his mouth without hesitation.

The Huiling Pill melted in his mouth, turning into a warm medicinal force that flowed down Lin Fan's throat and quickly spread throughout his body.

Lin Fan hurriedly practiced his skills, guiding the medicinal power to replenish his already limited remaining magic power, trying to recover some strength as soon as possible to deal with the next battle.

The young man in white clothes across from him was startled at first when he saw Lin Fan's actions. Then, a hint of disdain appeared on his lips, and he sneered, "Oh, it's come to this, and you're still trying to make a last-ditch effort. How long can you hold out with these talismans and pills? I think you'd better admit defeat as soon as possible, so as to avoid being beaten so badly and losing face later."

Lin Fan, trapped within the light barrier, glanced at him coldly and replied, "Humph, anyone can boast. Wait until you're able to break through my defenses. I, Lin Fan, will not easily yield to someone like you who only knows how to talk."

Upon hearing this, the young man's face darkened, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, and he snorted coldly, "Okay, then I want to see how tough your 'turtle shell' is. Take it!"

After saying that, he swung the folding fan in his hand violently, and spiritual power poured into it crazily. The landscape painting on the fan seemed to come alive.

Clouds and mist billowed from the mountains, transforming into ropes of spiritual energy that madly coiled around the golden light shield where Lin Fan stood. The gurgling water also transformed into streams of water arrows, hurling them towards the light shield with fierce momentum like a torrential downpour. A fierce battle of attack and defense thus unfolded.

Lin Fan's eyes flashed, knowing that he couldn't just sit there and wait for death, he had to take the initiative to attack.

He acted decisively, quickly reaching into his storage bag and pulling out several primary and intermediate level talismans.

As soon as these talismans appeared, they flashed with a faint spiritual light. The runes drawn on them were complex and mysterious, and each one contained spiritual fluctuations that should not be underestimated.

Lin Fan threw the talismans in the direction of the young man in white without hesitation, and shouted in a low voice: "Go!" The talismans instantly turned into streams of light and flew towards the other party like shooting stars chasing the moon.

One of the talismans turned into a surging earth wave, carrying a heavy spiritual power, and pressed towards the opponent like a collapsing mountain. Wherever it passed, deep grooves were pressed into the ground of the arena!
Another talisman released a violent golden force, which instantly condensed into countless sharp golden needles. The golden needles flashed coldly in the sunlight and shot towards the young man like a golden rainstorm. Each golden needle contained a strong penetrating power. If hit, the young man would probably be turned into a hedgehog in an instant.

Other talismans ignited ghostly green fires, which leaped and emitted a strange aura, lingering around the young man, constantly burning his spiritual defenses, trying to break through the defenses and invade his body.

While throwing out the talisman, Lin Fan's other hand was not idle either. He took out a mid-level spirit stone from his storage bag.

As soon as he got this mid-level spirit stone, a strong spiritual power fluctuation came from it. Lin Fan hurriedly held it in his palm, practiced his skills, and guided the spiritual power in the spirit stone to slowly flow into his body, replenishing his already limited mana, trying to make himself have more spiritual power to deal with the next battle.

When the young man in white saw Lin Fan using talismans to attack again and using spirit stones to restore his magic power at the same time, his expression changed slightly. He thought to himself that Lin Fan was indeed a troublesome person. Even in such a situation, he still had such tricks.

However, he was not willing to be outdone. He waved the folding fan in his hand repeatedly and muttered something. The cloud ropes that were originally attacking Lin Fan suddenly increased in number and became thicker. They tightly wrapped around the golden light shield, trying to break it.

The power of those water arrows also suddenly increased. Each one was like a sharp sword, constantly hitting the light shield, making a "ding-dang-dang" sound, as if it would shatter the light shield in the next second.

At the same time, the light of the jade pendant defensive magic weapon on his body became increasingly brighter, forming a thicker shield to prevent those talisman attacks from breaking through the defense line and hurting himself.

For a moment, the two of them fell into a fierce stalemate again. The entire arena was flashing with spiritual power, and the battle situation became more and more stalemate.

Lin Fan frowned, knowing that the young man in white in front of him was really not easy to deal with. If he didn't use more powerful means, it would be difficult to repel him.

So, he gritted his teeth and reached into the storage bag again. After a while, he took out several primary and intermediate level talismans, but this time, there were also one or two primary and high level talismans mixed in.

As soon as those several primary, intermediate and primary high-level talismans appeared, the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuations immediately became chaotic and intense.

The primary and intermediate level talismans flickered with a faint light, with complex runes on them, each containing considerable spiritual power.

And those one or two primary high-level talismans were even more extraordinary. As soon as they appeared, they burst into dazzling light. The runes on them seemed to have spirits, constantly jumping and flashing, emitting a powerful and dangerous aura that made people dare not underestimate them.

Lin Fan's eyes fixed, and without hesitation, he threw the talismans with all his strength in the direction of the young man in white, and shouted in a low voice: "Go!" In an instant, the talismans turned into streams of light and flew towards the other party like arrows. The speed was so fast that they were close to the young man in white in the blink of an eye.

I saw that several primary and intermediate level talismans launched the attack first, some of them turned into blazing flames. The flames were a strange purple-red color, and the temperature was extremely high. Even the air was burned and made a "sizzling" sound wherever they passed. They instantly swept towards the young man in white, as if to engulf him whole in the sea of ​​fire.

Some released thick wooden vines, which twisted wildly like living things and quickly wrapped around the young man in white. The vines were covered with sharp barbs, which would penetrate deeply into the skin once he was wrapped around.

And those one or two primary and high-level talismans showed astonishing power.

One of them turned into a bolt of lightning as thick as a dragon. With a "crack", it was like a silver snake cutting through the sky, with crackling electric light, it struck the young man in white clothes fiercely. The powerful force of thunder and lightning seemed to split the entire arena. Wherever it passed, the air was ionized and made a "sizzling" sound.

The other one released a biting cold wind, and as the wind whistled, countless sharp ice cones condensed and shot towards the young man in white, as if an ice rain was coming. Each ice cone contained a strong penetrating power. If someone was hit by it, he would probably be turned into a hedgehog in an instant.

Seeing this, the young man in white turned pale and his eyes were filled with fear and panic.

He never expected that Lin Fan could still use such powerful talisman attacks in succession even though he seemed to be running out of magic power. This person must be too wealthy. It seems that he has endless talismans.

He did not dare to be careless at the moment, and hurriedly waved the folding fan in his hand faster, muttering to himself, trying to increase the power of the cloud rope and water arrows so as to break through Lin Fan's golden light shield as soon as possible.

At the same time, he controlled the jade defensive magic weapon on his body, making its spiritual power shine brighter, forming a thicker shield, and tried his best to resist the overwhelming talisman attack.
