Immortality begins with equipping a worn-out talisman pen.

Chapter 73 Yinglong's Rain-Making Picture

I searched high and low, but found nothing.

The second-tier talisman inheritance that he had been longing for was actually buried in his own backyard.

And there was even a visualization diagram next to it?

Li Mufeng took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the urge to immediately equip the jade slip.

The fact that this letter can be placed alongside the second-tier talisman inheritance suggests that it is the key to truly explaining everything.

He slowly unfolded the letter.

The paper has long since yellowed, but the handwriting remains strong and powerful.

"My name is Lu Yu. I am a rogue cultivator. Wu Jiakai coveted my Daoist inheritance, harmed my Daoist partner, and ruined my path. I was severely injured and fled to the Heavenly Immortal City, where I am now in seclusion attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. If I succeed in establishing my foundation, I will personally go to the Wu family to settle the score."

"If you see this letter, it means that I, Lu, have already died and my cultivation has vanished. Water Dragon Talisman Inheritance, 'The Rain-Bringing Diagram of the Responding Dragon'"

All are given to those who are destined to receive them.

""

"If you achieve something in your cultivation in the future and happen to have the ability, I hope you will help me seek justice from the Wu family."

If you are not capable enough, there is no need to force yourself.

"I only hope that those who come after me will not let this way be lost."

Li Mofeng slowly put down the letter, looking thoughtful.

This fellow Daoist Lu is quite a clever person.

The letter contained no oath of heavenly authority, nor did it force any successor to avenge him. It simply placed this cause and effect gently after the inheritance.

But the more this is the case, the harder it is for people to accept it with a clear conscience.

Li Mufeng pondered for a moment, then his furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

Judging from the words in the letter, since Lu Yu dared to use his Foundation Establishment cultivation as a means of revenge, it means that the Wu family is probably only a Foundation Establishment force and not very strong.

Moreover, the letter only said that it would seek justice for him when it was able to do so, but never set a time limit.

Since that's the case, then I'll wait until I've cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage before settling this karmic debt for Fellow Daoist Lu.

By then, even if the Wu family has a backup plan, they probably won't be able to cause any trouble.

With this thought in mind, Li Mufeng suddenly felt clear-headed, and the last trace of pressure in his heart dissipated.

He put away the letter and turned his gaze back to the jade slip and visualization diagram on the table, his anticipation no longer concealed.

[Equipment Inheritance Jade Slip - Water Dragon Talisman]

[Effect 1: Increases the success rate of drawing water dragon talismans by 20%]

[Effect 2: Water Dragon Talisman Inheritance]

As Li Mufeng immersed himself in the scene, a series of unfamiliar yet familiar images flashed by. One after another, talisman masters were bent over their desks making talismans. From their initial awkwardness to their final mastery of the art, decades or even centuries of experience seemed to flow into Li Mufeng's sea of ​​consciousness like a gentle stream.

After observing it several times, Li Mufeng picked up his pen and began to try drawing for the first time.

With his previous experience, his talent in talismanic arts is now quite good, far from the clueless talismanic apprentice he was at the beginning.

Even though the talisman brush he used was not yet at the second level, and the spirit ink and talisman paper were not the best, he was still able to steadily outline the talisman patterns according to the inherited path.

First attempt, failure.

The second attempt also failed.

Li Mufeng was not discouraged at all; instead, a hint of joy gradually appeared in his eyes.

Because every failure was not due to a lack of understanding of the Dao of Talismans, but rather due to a lack of experience in the subtle control of divine sense and magical power.

In other words, he has already mastered the basics; all he lacks is the skill that comes from repeated practice.

As long as we continue drawing, this second-tier water dragon talisman will be successfully completed sooner or later.

However, after the third talisman dissipated into spiritual light, Li Mufeng had to stop writing with his talisman brush.

He gently rubbed his temples, a hint of fatigue appearing on his face.

Second-tier spirit talismans are ultimately incomparable to first-tier ones.

Each stroke of the pen requires immense magical power and the divine sense to control each rune; the slightest deviation will render all previous efforts futile.

Even though the "Boundless Ocean Technique" made his magical power far surpass that of his peers, and his spiritual soul was much more robust than that of ordinary Qi Refining cultivators, he was already close to his limit after drawing it three times in a row.

Li Mufeng put down the talisman brush and exhaled a breath of stale air.

"It seems we'll have to continue tomorrow."

If other top-tier talisman masters saw this scene, they would probably be speechless with envy.

Ordinary Qi Refining cultivators are limited by their spiritual sense and magical power, and often cannot even draw a complete second-tier talisman. They have to rely on Nourishing Spirit Pills and Spirit Recovery Pills to restore their condition.

Li Mufeng, relying solely on his own strength, was able to attempt it three times in a row.

Such a foundation far exceeds what a Qi Refining cultivator should possess.

[Water Dragon Talisman: Beginner (3/100)]

Afterwards, Li Mufeng equipped the "Yinglong Rain Painting" with his equipment.

[Equipment Concept Art - Yinglong Bringing Rain]

[Effect 1: Increases comprehension of divine intentions by 50%]

[Effect 2: Manifests the ancient Yinglong.]

Li Mufeng was startled.

Yinglong? The legendary true dragon?

Even after cultivating immortality for over forty years, he has only seen a few brief records of it in some incomplete ancient books.

Legend has it that in ancient times, the true dragon soared through the heavens, wielding the power of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, and was one of the oldest and most powerful creatures in the world.

However, after the ancient war, the true dragon clan disappeared without a trace.

In the cultivation world today, let alone true dragons, even a jiaolong (a type of dragon) with a trace of dragon blood flowing through its veins is enough to become a rare species that can suppress a region. He had never even heard of such a thing in the Yue Kingdom.

The equipment slot can actually conjure Yinglong?

Li Mufeng took a deep breath, unable to suppress his curiosity any longer, and immersed all his consciousness into the visualization diagram.

The world before my eyes shattered with a deafening roar.

As darkness receded, a vast and ancient world slowly unfolded.

The towering sacred mountain supports the heavens and the earth, rivers rush like the sea, thunderclouds surge in the sky, and gales sweep in all directions, as if the entire world is waiting for the arrival of some ancient being.

Deep within the sea of ​​clouds, a pair of golden dragon eyes, as bright as the sun, slowly opened.

The clouds slowly parted, and an enormous, indescribable figure emerged from the heavens. It had deer antlers, a dragon's head, a snake's body, and eagle claws, with wings that blotted out the sky on its back. Its winding dragon body stretched across the horizon, seemingly without end.

The moment it appeared, the wind stopped, the clouds gathered, thunder roared, and rain fell; everything in the world seemed to be operating in accordance with its will.

It is not that it controls the wind and rain, but rather that the wind, clouds, water, and rain are inherently its domain.

Yinglong spread its wings and soared into the sky, and billions of raindrops fell from the heavens. Where the rain fell, withered trees came back to life, all kinds of grass grew, rivers rushed, and the earth was revitalized.

Li Mufeng stared blankly at this scene, feeling his soul tremble slightly.

In the instant that this realization dawned on him, Yinglong suddenly lowered his dragon head.

Those ancient and majestic dragon eyes seemed to transcend endless years, gazing at Li Mufeng from afar.

Li Mufeng's soul was violently shaken.

Countless insights about wind, clouds, water, and rain flooded his mind like a torrent, and within that vast Daoist charm, a faint trace of the true meaning of the dragon quietly imprinted itself deep within his heart.

I don't know how much time passed.

Li Mufeng slowly opened his eyes, his chest still rising and falling slightly.

Everything that just happened was too real, so real that it didn't seem like a visualization.

He glanced at his equipment inventory, only to find that the second effect of the "Yinglong Rain Painting" had dimmed at some point.

[Effect 2: Manifest Ancient Yinglong (Already used, 1-year cooldown)]

Li Mufeng was taken aback.

This was the first time he had seen a cooldown time limit on the materialized space.

He carefully recalled those golden dragon eyes that seemed to transcend eternity, and a thought suddenly arose in his mind that even he found absurd.

What I just saw was merely a scene left behind by a visualization.

Or is there truly an ancient Yinglong that glanced at me across time and space from beyond the endless ages?

Upon realizing this, Li Mufeng couldn't help but feel a chill.
