Immortality begins with equipping a worn-out talisman pen.

Feeling the surging magical power within his body, Li Mufeng couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

My master once said that the first three levels of Qi Refining are ultimately just minor cultivation. If one cannot break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining, one will ultimately be just a passerby in the world of cultivation.

Most independent cultivators are stuck in the first three levels of Qi Refining, and without the right opportunity, they will never be able to make any progress in their entire lives.

The fourth level of Qi Refining represents a true qualitative change.

At that moment, he felt his hearing and vision were sharp, and the whole world seemed to become clear.

The rustling of leaves outside the window as the morning breeze blows.

The sound of a bird flapping its wings and soaring across the sky in the distance.

Even the faint sound of tiny water droplets sliding down the cave walls could be detected.

The mana within his body had increased by a full 30% compared to before the breakthrough.

What surprised Li Mufeng the most was a completely new kind of power.

He slowly closed his eyes.

next moment.

Everything around me was still vividly reflected in my mind.

The tables and chairs in the room, the patterns on the walls, the materials for making talismans in the corners, and even the fine dust floating in the air.

Everything is clearly visible, down to the smallest detail.

With him at the center, no change within a radius of one zhang can escape his perception.

Divine consciousness!

Li Mufeng felt a slight thrill.

This is precisely the mark of a cultivator in the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

Having divine consciousness will make creating talismans, casting spells, and engaging in magical battles much easier than before.

This is especially true for talisman masters.

The stronger one's spiritual sense, the more precise one's control over the spiritual patterns when drawing talismans.

The success rate will naturally increase accordingly.

At the same time, his mind seemed to become clearer.

The talisman-making experience that my master had once taught me flowed through my mind like a stream.

Many details that were difficult to understand in the past are now showing signs of becoming clearer.

Just now.

Li Mufeng's expression suddenly changed.

The newly born consciousness spread outwards.

Two figures were already standing outside the cave entrance.

He immediately got up and walked towards the door.

As the stone gate slowly opened.

Two figures came into view outside the door.

Standing at the very front was a young woman in her thirties.

The woman wore a light green dress, had a plump figure, a beautiful face, and a gentle temperament. She did not deliberately conceal her aura of being at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

She is now raising her delicate hand, ready to knock on the door.

When she saw the stone door suddenly open, she was clearly taken aback for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face.

"You must be Fellow Daoist Li?"

"I heard that a talisman master has moved into Cave 13. The young lady is Zhao Lingyue, and she lives in Cave 12 next door. She is a spirit plant master."

As she spoke, she handed over a pot of spirit flowers that she was holding in her arms.

"We'll be neighbors from now on, this is just a small token of my appreciation, I hope you won't find it offensive."

Li Mufeng looked down.

A pale silver spirit flower was growing in the flowerpot.

The petals unfurled slightly, radiating a soft, ethereal light.

It was none other than a first-tier low-grade spiritual plant, the Moon Spirit Flower.

This flower can gather a small amount of moonlight at night, which can be of some assistance to cultivators and also has a calming effect on talisman making or alchemy.

Behind Zhao Lingyue stood another figure.

He was a tall, middle-aged monk.

His face was cold and stern, his skin was slightly dark, and he exuded a faint aura of bloodlust. It was clear at a glance that he had been wandering in the Monster Mountain Range for many years.

His cultivation level had even reached the sixth level of Qi Refining.

He was carrying a jar of spirit wine, and when he saw Li Mufeng looking over, he slightly clasped his hands in greeting.

The voice was deep and crisp.

"My name is Shen Yuan, and I am a monster hunter."

Congratulations on your new home, fellow Daoist!

Seeing this, Li Mufeng also bowed slightly in return to the two.

"My name is Li Mufeng, and I am a first-tier low-grade talisman master."

As he spoke, he took out two sets of talismans from his pocket and handed them to Zhao Lingyue and Shen Yuan respectively.

Each set of talismans contains one Water Arrow Talisman, one Qi Concealing Talisman, and one Swift Movement Talisman, with a value roughly equivalent to the Moon Spirit Flower and Spirit Wine that the two people brought.

The world of cultivation is not just about fighting and killing; it also emphasizes reciprocity and courtesy.

Zhao Lingyue and Shen Yuan accepted the talisman, their originally polite expressions immediately turning into expressions of surprise.

Especially after seeing the Qi Concealing Talisman and the Swift Movement Talisman, the two men's expressions changed noticeably.

Zhao Lingyue gently stroked the talisman in her hand, a strange light flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"I never expected that Fellow Daoist Li had already mastered the art of drawing three kinds of spirit talismans."

"This is quite rare among first-tier low-grade talisman masters."

Although she was only a spirit plant master, she often interacted with cultivators in the market.

Most low-grade talisman masters are skilled enough to draw one type of talisman to support themselves.

It is rare to be able to master both at the same time.

Those who possess the skills to inherit three different talismans often have a master behind them.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lingyue's evaluation of Li Mufeng immediately rose a few points.

Shen Yuan chuckled and carefully put the talisman into his storage bag.

"Fellow Daoist Li's gift is much more practical than my jar of spirit wine."

"Especially these Qi Concealing Talismans and Swift Movement Talismans, they are not easy to buy in the market on ordinary days."

"If there is any more production in the future, I must come to Fellow Daoist Li to purchase it."

For those of them who frequently travel in and out of the Monster Mountain Range.

The Swiftness Talisman can speed up the escape.

The Qi-concealing talisman can avert many dangers.

Sometimes they are even more valuable than attack talismans.

Upon hearing this, Li Mufeng simply smiled and waved his hand.

"It's just a trivial skill, not worth mentioning."

"I will have to rely on you two for your help in the future."

"I am new here and not very familiar with the situation in the market. I am quite out of the loop and will have to ask you two for advice in the future."

Zhao Lingyue covered her mouth and chuckled upon hearing this.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you're too kind. Since we all live in the same cave area, we should naturally look after each other in the future."

Shen Yuan nodded and said, "If there is any news in the future, I will definitely inform Fellow Daoist Li."

The three exchanged pleasantries for a few more moments.

After they had become more familiar with each other, Zhao Lingyue and Shen Yuan got up to say goodbye.

After seeing the two off.

Li Mufeng closed the stone door of the cave again.

The room quickly returned to calm.

He didn't waste any more time, but went straight back to the meditation room and picked up the talisman brush again.

He has now devoted most of his energy to the Water Arrow Talisman.

Compared to the Divine Speed ​​Talisman and the Qi Concealment Talisman.

Water arrow talismans are in the highest demand and are also the most stable source of income.

Li Mufeng planned to first perfect this talisman art.

As for the Qi Concealing Talisman and the Swift Movement Talisman, I would occasionally draw a few to calm my mind and, incidentally, to maintain my proficiency.

Time slips away quietly in this regular and fulfilling life.

A month later.

Inside the quiet room.

Li Mufeng slowly put down the talisman brush in his hand.

On the table in front of him, a thick stack of talismans was neatly arranged.

At a glance, the number is already close to one hundred and fifty.

The vast majority of them are water arrow talismans.

During this month, he also successfully drew two exquisite water arrow talismans.

However, compared to the initial surprise...

These days, Li Mufeng is mostly observing.

Observe the patterns behind the system entries.

In fact, ever since he first created a series of exquisite talismans, he had already had a vague guess in his mind.

However, it has always lacked verification.

And now.

The opportunity has finally arrived.

Li Mufeng's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the mountain of talismans piled on the table.

It has been a long time since a high-quality talisman appeared.

Ninety-seven images have already been displayed.

He recorded everything, whether it was a success or a failure.

I remember every single detail clearly.

If my guess is correct.

Then, among the next three talismans, there will definitely be another high-quality one.

Thinking about this...

Li Mufeng did not continue drawing the water arrow talisman he was most skilled at.

Instead, they took out a new talisman.

Begin drawing the Qi-gathering talisman.

The first one.

failure.

the second one.

Average quality.

Li Mufeng's breathing gradually slowed down, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

The third talisman was slowly unfolded.

The talisman brush fell, and the spiritual ink flowed freely.

With the final spirit rune completed.

The talisman paper suddenly trembled.

A familiar golden light suddenly burst forth.

The entire room was dimly lit.

The exquisite Qi-gathering talisman is complete!

Looking at the talismans on the table that emitted a faint golden glow.

Li Mufeng's hand holding the talisman brush trembled slightly.

A moment later.

Li Mufeng slowly exhaled.

His eyes were filled with barely suppressed joy.

"I see……"

"I see!"

He murmured softly.

But a storm was brewing in my heart.

The probability of obtaining a high-quality talisman is one percent.

Moreover, it is not truly random.

At least for myself.

This probability is constant.

In other words, for every one hundred talismans drawn, one masterpiece will inevitably emerge.

This is no longer luck, but a force that is almost like a rule.

Even with Li Mufeng's usually calm and collected personality, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

What does this mean?

This means that from now on, he can even actively control the production of high-quality talismans.

This ability may seem insignificant.

However, when it comes to a crucial moment, it can become a trump card to defy fate.

Li Mufeng gently stroked the exquisite Qi-concealing talisman on the table.

After a long while.

Only then did he manage to suppress the excitement in his heart.

In the world of cultivation, the greatest taboo is becoming complacent and arrogant.

With that thought in mind, he carefully put all the talismans away.

He now has accumulated over a hundred spirit talismans.

It's time to cash it out.

Calculate the time.

The monthly market fair is about to begin.

This is the busiest time in Black Stone Market.

The surrounding independent cultivators, spiritual farmers, demon hunters, and even some foreign merchant caravans will gather here.

Various materials, magical artifacts, and spiritual plants that are rarely seen in ordinary times will appear.

A sense of anticipation rose in Li Mufeng's heart.

If you're lucky enough.

Perhaps we can find a magical artifact with special attributes.

Next, it's time to go to the market.
