Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes: I Possess the Heavenly Book of Merit

[Second Life - The Page of Enlightenment]

Progress achieved: 2 (100)

[Through enlightenment and awakening of the mind, gradually increasing understanding, one acquires the seed of spiritual talent, possessing innate wisdom that allows one to be reincarnated.]

[Meritorious deeds required for current reincarnation: 500]

In the outer disciple's room at the foot of Yuanfu Peak, Yu Yan withdrew his consciousness, felt the clarity in his mind, and revealed a slight smile.

His idea was correct; helping other outer disciples reach the first level of Qi Refining could indeed accumulate merit, with two points added for each person helped.

After helping Luo Cheng, within three months, Yu Yan approached the disciples who had not yet entered the Dao and found that they almost all had the problem of being unable to concentrate their minds.

So one by one, they were taught the meditation mantra, and on this day they accumulated enough merit to improve their understanding.

They can break through to the first level of Qi Refining without being expelled from the sect, and they can also benefit from it, which is a win-win situation.

Yu Yan took out the book "Basic Talismans" from his pocket, opened it again, and looked at the first talisman again.

The Wind-Riding Talisman, as the name suggests, allows the user to travel by wind upon activation, greatly increasing their speed.

Starting with the first rune, connecting all the various complex runes together creates the required talisman.

Yu Yan read the text in the book word by word, broke down the runes, memorized them one by one, and connected them according to the original shape of the talisman.

After three comparisons and three attempts, I had gained a certain level of confidence.

He closed his eyes, put the book away, and began to sketch runes in his mind, then gathered them together according to his memory.

This time, he finally didn't forget everything. Yu Yan seemed to be automatically understanding various runes. Although he couldn't connect them completely with his eyes closed, the feeling this time was indeed very different from before.

"it works!"

Yu Yan was overjoyed. Ignoring Luo Cheng's call for dinner, he hurriedly took out the "Basic Talismans" book and memorized it again.

"Brother Yu, these runes are so complex, how can they be memorized in just a few days? The most important thing in life is to eat. Let's go, let's go."

Luo Cheng went inside and called him, but seeing that Yu Yan was still engrossed in the talismans, he sighed deeply.

Having no other choice, he could only say, "I'll bring you food," and then leave with the other disciples.

Qi Hao formed his own small group, and Luo Cheng's group gradually started to gather as well.

They were all unable to break through to the first level of Qi Refining within a month due to their unstable temperaments. They were able to enter the Dao entirely thanks to the calming mantra transmitted by Yu Yan. They seemed to have a tendency to stick together for warmth and became friends with each other.

Luo Cheng was extremely grateful to Yu Yan for this, and during the time Luo Cheng was engrossed in studying talismans, Yu Yan often brought him meals.

A moment later, everyone left, leaving only Yu Yan in the courtyard.

He suddenly opened his eyes, his face lighting up with joy.

"It's done! It really is done!"

"Yes, we need to buy talisman paper and talisman pen to try it out."

Yu Yan calmed himself down, put on his identity token, and headed up the mountain.

For someone with five spiritual roots like him, cultivation is slow and he is not valued by sects, and resources are scarce. If he wants to cultivate, learning the various arts of immortal cultivation is essential.

If one's comprehension can be continuously improved, then learning the way of talismans will be easier.

It can not only exchange for resources for cultivation.

If he can reach the pinnacle and make a name for himself in this field, he might even gain the attention of the sect, which would increase its support for him and help Yu Yan reach a higher realm.

Five spiritual roots, so what?

Yu Yan still has a path to take.

A cool mountain breeze seeped into his robes, but his heart burned with passion.

Counting the time, it is already winter this year, but we have not seen snow on the mountain peaks, and the vegetation in the mountains is still lush and green.

Yu Yan continued upwards along the mountain path, his spiritual energy flowing through his meridians. With agile steps, he soon arrived at the mountainside.

"This is the Hundred Treasures Pavilion."

Moving your gaze upwards from the crowd of people coming and going, you see three large, shining characters. You blink slightly, and it seems as if you see a glimmer of light within them, but it quickly disappears.

Kong Shangji said that it was a protective formation specially set up by the people of Jinzhen Peak. Even if a person in the late stage of Qi Refining wanted to cause trouble, they could be suppressed in an instant.

Gripping the token in his hand slightly, Yu Yan slipped into the crowd and arrived at the talisman area inside the building.

The person sitting in the hall was a beautiful young girl in red, with her hair tied in a ponytail. Her eyes often fell on the people walking by, as if she was observing something.

She noticed Yu Yan approaching.

Before he could speak, the girl in red took out several talisman pens and a stack of yellow talisman paper from the counter, held up a box of cinnabar, smiled, and spoke in a voice like a nightingale.

"Junior brother, you're here to buy talisman pens and talisman paper, right? They're all here."

"The price of the talisman brush is the same, twenty low-grade spirit stones or twenty contribution points. As for the talisman paper, ten low-grade talismans are priced at one talisman stone or contribution point."

"In addition, each box of cinnabar and ten talisman papers are priced the same."

After saying that, she blinked her big eyes and fixed her gaze on Yu Yan's face.

Yu Yan hesitated, the word "senior sister" stuck in his throat, and remained silent.

How did this seemingly "lively" senior sister know the purpose of her visit?

Although he had some doubts, Yu Yan knew the principle of asking less and knowing less, so he had no intention of asking and simply handed over his identity token.

"Then, I'll choose the first talisman brush, a box of cinnabar, and fifty talisman papers. I'd appreciate it if you could help me exchange them, Senior Sister."

There are three levels of identity among disciples of the Luoxia Sect, usually distinguished by the color of their robes.

Outer disciples like Yu Yan wear cyan Daoist robes, while inner disciples wear red Daoist robes. The most prestigious disciples are like Kong Shangji, who are accepted as personal disciples by Foundation Establishment elders or peak masters and wear purple Daoist robes.

The girl in red raised an eyebrow, took the token, glanced at it, swiped it to collect contribution points, and packed up the talisman pen and talisman paper in one smooth, practiced motion.

"Junior Brother Yu Yan, you're a new outer disciple, aren't you? Aren't you curious why I was able to pinpoint your purpose so quickly?"

"Senior sister has amazing insight and keen eyes. I am just a novice who has just entered the Dao. How could I escape senior sister's discerning eyes?"

Yu Yan immediately showered him with praise, then took the token and prepared to leave.

"You're a good kid."

The girl in red was flattered by the praise, but when she came to her senses, she found that Yu Yan had already walked away.

"Hey, my name is Wei Jing. You seem promising. Next time you buy talismans or cinnabar, just mention my name and I'll give you a 10% discount."

This senior sister is truly a person of strong character.

Yu Yan turned around, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Wei Jing, and then left with all his belongings.

Putting aside the strangeness of the other party for the time being, Yu Yan had no mind to think too much at the moment, focusing only on the talisman.

Having memorized the runes of the Windwalker Talisman, and with the talisman pen, paper, and cinnabar, he was ready to attempt to draw them.

Having lived two lives, this was the first time he had ever drawn a talisman.

Having no experience, everything was a first-time experience, and we were learning by trial and error.

The drawn talismans can be sold to exchange for cultivation resources, thus accelerating the cultivation process.

After accumulating a certain amount of strength, you can take on more sect missions that can earn merit, thereby improving your comprehension and preparing for your next reincarnation.
