Uncle Jiu: I am Chen Yulou, the leader of the Xiangling gang

Chapter 30, Talisman Seed

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou glanced at the exorcism talisman in his hand and suddenly realized what was going on. He quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Master!"

Uncle Jiu immediately waved his hand, thought for a moment, and continued, "A cultivator at the Soul Nurturing Realm can comprehend a maximum of nine talisman seeds, but I think with your talent, you should be able to comprehend a few more."

"Nine at most?"

Chen Yulou immediately looked at Uncle Jiu in surprise.

Uncle Jiu nodded and said, "Generally speaking, there are nine. When I first reached the ninth level of the Soul Nurturing Realm, I only comprehended seven talismans."

"Among our generation of disciples, when we were in the Soul Nurturing Realm, only your Great Master had comprehended nine talismans, and I was second."

"Like your uncle Simu, he only comprehended five!"

"Most of the other Maoshan disciples of the same generation have only comprehended three, and some have only one or two."

"This is the gap between talent and understanding."

Chen Yulou was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that his master uncle Shi Jian had such an amazing talent in talismans.

But what surprised him even more was that Uncle Jiu had only comprehended seven talisman seeds, which showed how difficult it was to comprehend a talisman seed.

"Master, could this be the reason why the simplest and most basic exorcism talisman was used as the first talisman seed?"

Chen Yulou looked at Uncle Jiu and said.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu looked at Chen Yulou with a smile and said, "You figured it out."

"That's right. All of us Maoshan disciples use the Exorcism Talisman as our first talisman seed, because it's the simplest and most basic, which means it's the easiest to comprehend."

“Moreover, there are only nine talisman seeds that can be comprehended in the Soul-Nourishing Realm. It seems that the position is very precious, and one should comprehend the best and strongest talismans. However, as long as one breaks through the Soul-Nourishing Realm and comprehends the talisman seeds, there is no upper limit.

Unless you can never break through to a higher realm in your lifetime."

"Also, with nine positions, it would be difficult to fully comprehend them unless one is extremely talented in talismans."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou immediately nodded. It turned out that it was only the Soul Nurturing Realm that limited comprehension. Once one broke through the Soul Nurturing Realm and moved towards a higher realm, there would be no restrictions on comprehension. Those nine positions were indeed not that precious.

As for being stuck in the Soul Nurturing Realm for a lifetime?
That wasn't something he should consider, because there was no way he could do it.

Suddenly, Chen Yulou thought of something and immediately looked at Uncle Jiu and asked, "Master, since comprehending talisman seeds is difficult, if we only comprehend the simplest talisman, wouldn't it be easy to collect nine talisman seeds?"

But as soon as he said this, Chen Yulou felt a little stupid.

After all, if one could comprehend simple talismans to make up the numbers, then wouldn't Uncle Nine, Taoist Simu, and other Maoshan disciples fail to think of it?

As expected, Uncle Jiu shook his head and said, "It will be easy to comprehend the first talisman seed, but the difficulty of comprehending the second talisman seed, whether it is the simplest talisman or the most difficult talisman, will not differ much. On the contrary, the more talisman seeds you comprehend, the harder it will be to comprehend."

"In other words, each talisman seed is like opening a road. Every time a road is opened, it will only become more difficult to open the next road."

"Also, although breaking through the Soul Nourishing Realm and entering a higher realm allows you to comprehend Talisman Seeds without limit, this is the same as comprehending in the Soul Nourishing Realm. If you can't comprehend many Talisman Seeds in the Soul Nourishing Realm, then you won't be able to comprehend many in the unlimited higher realm either."

“So, the location of the talisman seed seems very precious, and it is actually very precious.

So, apart from the first talisman seed, which is designed to help you find the method to comprehend it, choose the simplest and most basic talisman to exorcise evil spirits. The rest will require you to find stronger talismans to comprehend."

"After all, talisman seeds are also a manifestation of strength. If all you have are low-level talismans, or even supplementary talismans just to make up the numbers, then your strength will inherently be a certain distance away from others."

"Of course, it's not the case that the stronger the talisman, the better. The stronger the talisman, the harder it is to comprehend. Plus, the more you comprehend, the harder it becomes, and the difficulty only increases exponentially." "Especially, the time it takes to comprehend a talisman seed can take years. If you're obsessed with a few powerful talismans, you'll only be wasting time and energy."

"So, it is important to choose a talisman that suits you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou looked at Uncle Jiu with sudden enlightenment and nodded: "So that's how it is. Thank you, Master, for clearing up my confusion!"

"By the way, Master, since you said that a Soul Cultivator can only comprehend nine talisman seeds at most, why did you say that I can comprehend more?"

Chen Yulou looked at Uncle Jiu in confusion.

Uncle Jiu immediately laughed and said, "Because your master once told me that although the Maoshan records state that most Maoshan disciples can only comprehend nine talisman seeds at most in the Soul Nurturing Realm, there are exceptions.

According to records, there are several gifted ancestors in Maoshan's history. They all comprehended more than nine talisman seeds when they were in the Soul Nurturing Realm.

"And Yulou, you were able to draw seven talismans in just half a month. I feel that nine talisman seeds will not be your shackles!"

Hearing Uncle Jiu's confidence in him, Chen Yulou immediately smiled and said, "Please rest assured, Master. Since the ancestors have set such a good example before me, I will definitely follow in their footsteps."

"it is good!"

"Master is looking forward to it!" Uncle Jiu nodded and smiled.

After all, his disciple's talent in the art of talismans is really terrifying, and it is absolutely possible for him to reach the heights that the ancestors had achieved in the art of talismans.

"Master, how many talisman seeds have you comprehended now?" Chen Yulou thought for a while and asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu looked at Chen Yulou and said without hiding anything: "Forty-three!"

"So many?" Chen Yulou looked at Uncle Jiu in surprise.

Isn't it said that it will only become more and more difficult to comprehend the talisman seeds?

But Uncle Jiu actually understood so much!
It seems that it is not difficult!

Perhaps seeing through Chen Yulou's thoughts, Uncle Jiu shook his head and said, "It looks like a lot, but most of them are auxiliary talismans. There are only a dozen or so combat talismans."

"You can also understand it as follows: apart from the dozen or so talisman seeds that possess powerful combat power, the other auxiliary talismans are purely for the sake of making up the numbers!"

Chen Yulou was stunned. Only a dozen or so?

It seems that it is not difficult to comprehend the talisman seed, but it is difficult to comprehend the talisman seed with powerful combat power.

"Master has already infused my own experience in comprehending talisman seeds into the exorcism talisman. The rest depends on your understanding!"

"I'll go back to my room first!" Uncle Jiu said as he stood up from the bed.

Chen Yulou immediately nodded and said, "Master, I will strive to comprehend it successfully!"

"Ok!"

Uncle Jiu smiled when he heard this.

He was not worried about Chen Yulou at all. He was just curious about how long it would take for this kid to comprehend the exorcism talisman seed with his extraordinary talent.

Chen Yulou sent Uncle Jiu out, closed the door, returned to bed, picked up the exorcism talisman and activated it, entered the illusion, and listened carefully to Uncle Jiu's experience in understanding the exorcism talisman.
