Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 129 Divine Thunder that Shatters Evil (10,000-word update, please subscribe)

I originally thought that Shen Xuan was just a lucky charm that Master Gufeng used to appease the Su family.

How could a true disciple be willing to waste thirty years in a remote place like Qingyang Prefecture?

Unexpectedly, Shen Xuan was not only a genuine second-tier talisman master, but also created highly toxic talismans with potent poison and immense power.

"You need the essence blood of the Silver Hook Sea Serpent? I understand."

After thinking for a moment, the Su family head asked again, "If the corresponding raw materials are available, can Master Shen make the other second-tier spirit talismans?"

"It's not that easy!"

Shen Xuan laughed and said, "The art of talismans is profound and extensive. Talismans are based on the laws of nature, so how can one master all kinds of talismans? Among second-tier talismans, I am only proficient in the [Silver Hook Snake Venom Talisman].

“Master Shen is right.”

As if making up his mind, the head of the Su family said, "What if there is a corresponding inheritance of the Dao of Talismans?"

Shen Xuan was taken aback.

Among the various arts of cultivation, the transmission of talismanic arts is the most common and the most widely spread.

After all, the runes and materials are public information.

Unlike alchemy, formations, and weapon crafting, the formulas, techniques, and secrets are kept hidden.

It can be said that among alchemy, weaponry, array formations, and talismans, the difficulty of becoming a talisman master is the lowest.

However, becoming a second-tier rune master is not so easy.

When any skill reaches a high level, it can only be understood intuitively and cannot be explained in words.

The master leads you through the door, but the practice depends on yourself.

A second-tier talisman master not only needs strong spiritual sense, but also extremely skillful control over spiritual power.

If even the slightest mistake is made when making a talisman, all previous efforts will be wasted.

If the success rate of obtaining the winning combination is low, you will only lose more and more money.

"To be honest, Master Shen, the Su family once had an ancestor who was a second-tier high-grade talisman master."

The head of the Su family said with considerable shame, "Our descendants are unworthy, and none of them have advanced to the second-tier talisman master. This inheritance is just sitting there anyway, so I brought it here so that Talisman Master Shen can study it."

Shen Xuan pondered for a moment.

He has always identified himself as a talisman master.

The art of talisman making is indeed necessary to improve talisman-making skills.

A year before arriving at the Feiyun Su family, he was busy cultivating, improving his water magic and innate skills.

We've almost reached a bottleneck.

Only then did he find the time and energy to refine the Taiyin Corpse Beast.

It can be said.

Unless you obtain new second-tier monster blood essence.

In terms of water magic and talent skills, we've temporarily reached our limit.

"When elders bestow gifts, the young dare not refuse. It would be disrespectful for Shen Xuan to refuse such a kind offer from Patriarch Su."

"If new talismans are created, they should be sold to the Su family at cost price."

Shen Xuan solemnly promised.

The head of the Su family took out a jade slip containing the inheritance of the Dao of Talismans.

Shen Xuan scanned the area with his divine sense.

It's just a replica.

It contains records of thirteen types of second-tier talismans.

After seeing off the head of the Su family, Shen Xuan began to study the Su family's talismanic tradition.

"The Su family's ancestor actually knew how to make thunder talismans?"

This surprised Shen Xuan quite a bit.

There are thirteen types of talismans, mostly of the wood element, followed by the water element.

But unexpectedly, there was a [Breaking Evil Divine Thunder Talisman] inside.

Among all kinds of talismans, the thunder talisman is a special one.

Talismans that can be called "Thunder Talismans" are often invincible among those of the same level and possess immense power.

After advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage, Shen Xuan didn't spend too much time on talismans.

Second-tier talismans have the advantages of short activation time and low spiritual power consumption.

However, its power is far inferior to that of a magic weapon.

It is generally used only as an auxiliary tool.

Lei Fu, however, was an exception.

"My talent includes [Overturning the Sea Thunder], and if I can control the power of thunder, I should be able to create [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talisman]."

Looking at the raw materials, both the talisman paper and cinnabar are made from condensed Thunder Crystal Bamboo.

"Lei Jingzhu?"

Shen Xuan remembered.

The Su family's land contains a bamboo forest with thousands of Thunder Crystal Bamboo trees, more than a hundred of which are over a thousand years old.

"I see!"

Shen Xuan immediately understood.

By chance, the ancestors of the Su family obtained the inheritance of the [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talisman].

To ensure the supply of raw materials, they transplanted Thunder Crystal Bamboo into the Spirit Bamboo Forest in their clan's territory.

Now, a thousand years have passed.

The Leijing bamboo is growing well. However, no one in the Su family has inherited its talisman-making skills.

Just then, Shen Xuan came to stay here.

"Could it be God's will?"

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

The following days.

While refining the Golden Claw Divine Eagle Corpse Beast, Shen Xuan also studied the [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talisman].

This is a genuine second-tier lightning talisman, with immense power.

Generally speaking, only cultivators skilled in thunder magic can make them.

Moreover, it requires extremely high levels of spiritual awareness and power.

It is difficult for ordinary cultivators in the early stages of Foundation Establishment to control.

Only cultivators at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage with lightning magic have a chance of creating a talisman.

Fortunately, Shen Xuan is different.

With various talents, plus physical strength, spiritual power and consciousness comparable to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Possessing the talent skill 【Overturning the Sea with Lightning】, she has extremely stable control over lightning spiritual power.

The basic conditions for successfully crafting the [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talisman] are met.

Shen Xuan estimated that the power of a single [Breaking Evil Divine Thunder Talisman] was about 30% of the full-force attack of a Thunder Law cultivator in the early Foundation Establishment stage.

The premium [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talisman] is approximately 50% complete.

Thunder magic cultivators possess powerful attack capabilities.

A thunder magic cultivator's attack power at 30% is greater than that of most ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

time flies.

Soon, two months passed.

In the talisman-making room, there was a golden talisman that emitted a faint aura of lightning.

"The first [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talisman] has finally been successfully made!"

Shen Xuan gently stroked the [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talisman], carefully sensing the spiritual energy flowing on the surface of this second-tier thunder talisman.

Within the [Insight Technique], the [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talisman] emitted a blazing golden light, its spiritual power flowing slowly, with faint sounds of thunder echoing, a truly breathtaking sight.

"The combination of the [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talisman] and the [Silver Hook Serpent Venom Talisman] is a piece of cake for dealing with ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators. It also has a restraining effect on demonic cultivators, evil cultivators, and various monsters."

Golden characters shimmered on the mysterious jade talisman.

[Evil-Dispelling Divine Thunder Talisman: Beginner (2/100)]

"This is a good start."

"But that's far from enough!"

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

Having grown accustomed to rapid, unstoppable progress, he lacked the patience for gradual advancement.

Qingyang Market is still too small.

Shen Xuan pondered whether he should ask for leave to go to the East Sea Immortal City to purchase some water-attribute demon beast essence blood.

Besides plundering talents and enhancing spiritual roots.

He also needs Daoist Points to upgrade the [Breaking Evil Divine Thunder Talisman].

Otherwise, even with his diligent study and practice, it would take him at least ten or eight years to advance to the mastery stage of the [Breaking Evil Divine Thunder Talisman].

He had over 80,000 spirit stones and a complete second-tier warship, more than enough to purchase some second-tier demon beast essence blood.

He was trying to think of an excuse to ask the head of the Su family for leave.

On this day, a female cultivator in a white dress came to visit Tingyuxuan.

Su Xue'er was slightly stunned, unable to hide her surprise.

The woman in the white dress had a face as beautiful as jade and as white as frost, giving her an air of aloofness and nobility.

With just one glance, Su Xue'er felt a powerful spiritual pressure, and her knees involuntarily wanted to kneel down.

Foundation Establishment Realm Female Cultivator!
Su Xue'er was terrified and was resisting the other party's spiritual pressure.

A familiar voice came from behind me.

"Why does the White Lotus Fairy have to tease my concubine!"

Then, a warm spiritual energy spread from Su Xue'er's back, sweeping away the White Lotus Fairy's spiritual pressure.

"Bai Lian greets Master Shen Fu!"

The White Lotus Fairy bowed slightly in a gesture of respect.

Shen Xuan dodged to the side.

"Is there something you need, Fairy White Lotus?"

"Bai Lian remembers that Master Shen said he was willing to pay a high price for the blood essence of a second-tier water-attribute demon beast."

Shen Xuan's eyes lit up.

"Let's go inside and talk!"

After the last transaction at Xiaoyao Tower.

Zhuang Ping told Shen Xuan that the White Lotus Fairy had an extraordinary background.

He is a core member of the Zhou family, the Beast Tamer.

This also made Shen Xuan more hopeful.
