Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans...

Chapter 29 Wood Spirit Thorn

In the alley.

"The third child."

When another cultivator came from the other side, he was shocked and furious when he saw the figure lying on the ground. He hurriedly stepped forward and used his manipulation technique to support his brother.

After realizing there was no trickery, he discovered that the third brother had already died, which filled him with horror. He couldn't believe that his brother had been killed so quickly!

We have to leave right away!
However, as he was about to leave, he reached for his brother's storage bag, but the next moment, a wave of heat hit him, making his cheeks flush red.

"not good!"

The firelight was reflected in his pupils. Just as he hurriedly released a magic shield, a flash of blue light appeared on his back. Under the flickering magic shield, a small crack showed that it had been pierced by something.

boom!
As the firelight burned, Lin Chang'an calmly passed by in the shadows, simultaneously reaching out to put the two now-silent storage bags into his robes.

In the quiet alley, the firelight was scattered by the wind, leaving only a trace of the fire in place.

……

She changed her clothes several times in the market, and even went to a restaurant full of rouge and powder and decadent music to mix up her scent.

At the same time, he sold the two storage bags, which contained only a dozen or so spirit stones.

After confirming several times that no one was following him, Lin Chang'an finally returned home.

In the training room.

"When combined with magical artifacts, its power is truly astounding!"

Back home, Lin Chang'an was utterly shocked; these were two genuine cultivators of the same level.

While the sneak attack was the main reason, the more important factor was that the magic shield was pierced in an instant.

For cultivators of the same level, their magical shields are not so easily penetrated.

"Try it."

With a solemn expression, Lin Chang'an attached a mid-grade golden light talisman to the wall, and the next moment he raised his hand and released this minor divine power.

puff!
A flash of blue light, followed by a dull thud as the golden talisman on the wall was pierced, and the pale golden light slowly dissipated.

"A mid-grade golden light talisman actually pierced through it in a single strike!"

He had tested the power of this spell before, but the power it possessed when combined with a magical artifact made Lin Chang'an swallow hard.

The defensive power of a mid-grade Golden Light Talisman is equivalent to the mana shield of a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

In other words, in a battle between opponents of the same level, he can instantly kill his opponent if they are caught off guard at close range.

Of course, there is another prerequisite: that is, the other party also does not have any defensive magic artifacts.

"What if it's a high-quality intermediate-grade talisman?"

Seemingly remembering something, Lin Chang'an took out another talisman with a solemn expression.

This is a high-quality, mid-grade golden light talisman, which is said to have a mana shield defense that is almost indistinguishable from that of a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

The same steps.

【Wood Spirit Thorn】

puff!
This time, the pale golden magical shield held out for a moment, but it was still pierced through.

"How can this be!"

Lin Chang'an was shocked, and at the same time, the sound of skill breakthrough appeared in his mind.

[Wood Spirit Thorn +80 (Perfect 1/10000)]

In just over three months, thanks to minimal consumption and the replenishment of spirit stones, he directly reached the Grandmaster realm.

Of course, there is another reason why he improved so quickly, which is the notes that Yun Yao gave him. The cultivator who created this spell recorded everything in detail, which allowed him to comprehend it so quickly.

I never imagined there would be another level after the Master of Skills.

With his perfect understanding of the skills, Lin Chang'an was once again immersed in a wonderful state of enlightenment.

At that moment, it was as if he had become the cultivator who created this minor spell, from the simplest finger flick to developing an extremely powerful minor divine ability by combining it with magical artifacts. "So that's how it is!"

After a long while, Lin Chang'an opened his eyes in a daze. This realization made him no less skilled than the originator in this spell.

Of course, this is on the premise that the other party does not keep anything to themselves.

"So the Perfect level is actually about allowing cultivators to reach a state of complete harmony with the Creator."

With a wave of his hand, two wooden splinters flew out from the wall covered with fine pits, and Lin Chang'an smiled.

"Three Wood Spirit Spikes. No wonder this spell is called a minor divine power by Foundation Establishment cultivators. Its power is quite astonishing. In other words, I can even fight against a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator now."

Of course, this is only in the case of a close-range sneak attack. In a real battle, there are too many factors to consider.

Late-stage Qi Refining cultivators not only have more acute senses, but also possess more magical artifacts, unlike the poor cultivators in the mid-stage and early-stage Qi Refining realms.

If you have a protective magic item, the chances of something going wrong are very high.

It can only be said that the perfect level is comparable to the cultivator who created this spell, possessing a trump card.

"This is still this damaged, high-grade magic artifact."

Lin Chang'an thought greedily, but then shook his head and sighed softly.

High-grade magic artifacts require thousands of spirit stones.

Although he could earn enough in a year, a complete high-grade magic weapon would not be able to unleash its full power with his current cultivation level, and it would also be more likely to attract the greed of others.

"If I really had a thousand spirit stones, it would be enough for me to cultivate to the late stage of Qi Refining."

Lin Chang'an shook his head with a smile, but then he thought of Yun Yao again.

It's been almost half a year since he last borrowed spirit stones. Hopefully, they'll come back, since Yun Yao owes him quite a few spirit stones.

If he really doesn't come back, then all this favor will be forfeited.

……

With protective measures in place, Lin Chang'an and Erniu went to Juxianlou together. Young Marquis Shen Lie and Lu Qingqing also looked worried.

But Yun Yao's cultivation was stronger than theirs, and they had no idea what she was doing.

We can only pray that nothing bad happens, and that they return safely. With time, there will be plenty of opportunities.

After that, Lin Chang'an resumed his daily routine of drawing talismans and cultivating, and of course, he also began to cultivate a new spell called Spirit Wood Thorn.

However, the walls of the secret room were rather unlucky, covered with countless pinholes, as if they had been plowed by a dense rain of pear blossom needles.

However, the tranquility of the market was broken once again on a night two weeks later.

"Another monster!"

The entire market was thrown into chaos once again, with countless cultivators staring in shock at the array that had been activated above the market.

However, this time, when the turmoil just began, the Foundation Establishment cultivators from Li Huo Palace and Xuan Yin Pavilion shouted coldly, and in an instant, the entire market was illuminated as if it were daytime.

"That's a Galehawk!"

Stepping out of the house, Lin Chang'an was astonished to see the night sky above as bright as day.

Above the market, dozens of enormous second-tier demonic beasts, the Riftwind Eagles, circled in dense formation. These were gregarious second-tier Foundation Establishment level demonic beasts.

"Who dared to raid the lair of a second-tier demon beast?!"

Upon seeing the person hovering above the market and relentlessly attacking its barrier, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but curse them.

Damn it, these aren't Black Wind Wolves, but dozens of second-tier Foundation Establishment demonic beasts.

Even flying demonic beasts, at the same cultivation level, are at a complete disadvantage against Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Sky Race.

That night, the market was sleepless. Foundation Establishment cultivators from various families, as well as those from the Li Huo Palace and Xuan Yin Pavilion, unleashed spells or magical artifacts in the market in their anger.

Through the barrier, amidst a dazzling and colorful spectacle of magic, I spent the whole night hunting birds—no, eagles!
