Immortality begins with equipping a worn-out talisman pen.

Chapter 78 Spirit Embryo Advancement

Fu Yuan lives inside.

With a thought, Li Mufeng equipped the [Spirit Embryo - River of Oblivion].

The next moment, a new entry appeared in the equipment inventory.

【Effect 1: Mystic Water (Can be upgraded)】

Without the slightest hesitation, he took out the Cold Soul Black Iron that he had prepared beforehand.

As the thought crossed his mind, the Frost Soul Black Iron in his hand instantly transformed into a wisp of dark blue spiritual light, which then disappeared into the River of Oblivion.

The Wangchuan River trembled slightly, and its originally simple and ancient-looking body, resembling a Xuanzhi ruler, gradually revealed faint blue water patterns, as if the power of rivers was slowly flowing within it, and the spiritual aura it emitted was several times richer than before.

At the same time, the attributes in the equipment slots also changed.

[Effect 1: Increases the power of water-attribute attacks by 200%]

A hint of joy flashed in Li Mufeng's eyes.

Previously, only water-attribute spells were amplified, but now all water-attribute attacks have been amplified.

This means that not only will his water-based spells be enhanced, but even the activation of water-attribute talismans, magical artifacts, and other water-based supernatural abilities will be amplified by the River of Oblivion.

In this way, the power of his already formidable Water Dragon Talisman and Water Flood Dragon Talisman will probably be enhanced to another level.

Now, only the final element, Moon Essence Dew, is needed for the River of Oblivion to complete its final transformation.

Li Mufeng couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

one year later.

Inside the alchemy room, the firelight illuminated the room.

Li Mufeng's fingers flew, and one incantation after another flowed smoothly into the beast-patterned alchemy furnace.

The fire in the furnace sometimes swirled, sometimes split into several thin streams, constantly refining the medicinal liquid under his control.

.

suddenly.

The alchemy furnace trembled slightly, and a low humming sound rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a rich fragrance of cinnamon wafted over.

Li Mufeng waved his hand and lifted the furnace lid, revealing three round and plump Beast Spirit Pills lying quietly inside, their spiritual light flowing and their medicinal fragrance filling the air.

A satisfied smile finally appeared on his face.

After a full year of continuous practice, he finally succeeded in refining the Beast Spirit Pill to the entry-level of the first-grade mid-level.

[Tier 1 Mid-Grade Beast Spirit Pill (Beginner) 3/100]

Over the past year, Niffler has also grown considerably thanks to the long-term feeding with Beast Spirit Pills.

Although his cultivation level has not yet truly broken through, he is already able to skillfully cast some basic earth-attribute spells, such as the Earth Spirit Shield.

Li Mufeng personally tested it, and with the current strength of the Earth Spirit Shield, although it is not enough to withstand the full force of a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator, it is enough to deal with most early-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

He was not disappointed by this.

The Golden-Sniffing Rat is a spirit beast that grows extremely slowly, and its growth to its current level in just one year has far exceeded his expectations.

Besides cultivation and alchemy, Li Mufeng also frequently interacted with Xu Zhiyuan next door during this year.

After spending a long time with him, he gradually figured out his neighbor's temperament.

Although Xu Zhiyuan was a disciple of a second-tier alchemist, he was quite interested in spiritual plants and enjoyed collecting various rare spiritual seeds and rare pill formulas.

The former was to cultivate spiritual plants to honor his master, and the latter was also to honor his master.

During this period, Li Mufeng also attended several of Xu Zhiyuan's family banquets, and his relationship with him remained on a steady upward trajectory.

During that year, Li Mufeng was invited to Xu Zhiyuan's family banquets several times, and the two grew closer.

At the same time, thanks to his skills as a first-class high-grade talisman master, both Tianbaolou and the cultivators introduced by Xu Zhiyuan praised his talismans.

Before he knew it, he had accumulated a stable customer base.

Almost every month, cultivators would come to Fu Yuan Ju to buy a few first-grade high-quality talismans.

Shortly after he used the Water Dragon Talisman to exchange for the Cold Soul Black Iron with Han Qinxue, Shen Yuan brought news.

It turned out that just one month after Li Mufeng and the others left, Wu Youcai once again visited Fengming Mountain. He called it a visit, but in reality, he used his Foundation Establishment power to intimidate people.

The peerless beauty Han Qinxue was also a woman of strong character, and she actually used the Water Dragon Talisman.

Some rogue cultivators said that Wu Youcai was like a ghost when he saw the Water Dragon Talisman. He was suspicious and hesitant to make a move. In the end, he actually retreated on his own.

From then on, Han Qinxue's reputation soared, and everyone said that Phoenix Cry Mountain had gained a second-tier talisman master.

After hearing this, Li Mufeng was quite moved, and at the same time, he gained a new understanding of the Water Dragon Talisman.

Second-tier talismans are not easy to draw. Due to limitations in talisman paper and materials, each one requires a lot of effort from the talisman master. Even with the support of the equipment slot, mass production is still impossible.

No wonder second-tier talismans are so rare on the market; they usually only appear at auctions.

It's purely because this thing is like a strategic weapon. High-level talismans are terrifyingly powerful. In combat, victory isn't about quantity, nor can they be ignored like first-level talismans once triggered.

It requires the use of divine sense and magical power to control; otherwise, if it is accidentally triggered, it may injure the enemy by 800 while damaging oneself by 1000.

This is why the same high-level talisman behaves completely differently in the hands of a Qi Refining cultivator and a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Later, Han Qinxue even made a personal trip to Fuyuanju, hoping to purchase another Water Dragon Talisman.

Li Mufeng politely declined, saying that he was not capable of stable production at his current level, and that the previous one was a lucky one.

Although Han Qinxue felt a little regretful, she did not insist. She simply extended a formal invitation to Li Mufeng to visit Fengming Mountain in the future, where the Han family would certainly welcome him with open arms.

Clearly, in her eyes, Li Mufeng was already a promising prospective second-tier rune master.

A few days later, Shen Yuan made his monthly routine visit.

"Senior Li, here is your letter."

""

Even though Li Mufeng had specifically instructed him, Shen Yuan still refused to address each other as fellow Daoists. In the cultivation world, there is a strict hierarchy, and those with higher cultivation levels are considered seniors.

Li Mufeng took the letter, but keenly noticed that Shen Yuan's right leg was slightly limping when he walked.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, are you injured?"

'

Shen Yuan's expression stiffened slightly, then he waved his hand and smiled, "It's nothing, I just tripped and fell. Senior Li, these are the spirit stones I earned from selling talismans this month."

""

Li Mufeng took the storage bag, did not ask any further questions, and simply took out a bottle of healing pills and handed it over.

"Let's focus on healing your injuries first."

Shen Yuan thanked him repeatedly before taking his leave.

Watching the other person's receding figure, a thoughtful look flashed in Li Mufeng's eyes.

Cultivators are light and healthy, and have magical powers to protect them. How could they be injured like this from an ordinary fall?

Moreover, Shen Yuan's condition has been somewhat off for the past few months.

Although he received every single spirit stone every month, his robes were becoming increasingly worn, he had become much thinner than before, and his magical power had not increased for a long time.

Logically speaking, now that Shen Yuan has recovered to the fifth level of Qi Refining and is selling talismans for himself, his life should be getting better and better.

Since the other party is unwilling to talk about it, it is most likely that they have encountered a problem that is difficult for them to talk about or that they cannot solve for the time being.

We'll know once we go and see for ourselves in a while.

Putting the matter out of his mind, Li Mufeng opened the envelope, which was clearly marked with the seals of the Qingxuan Sect and Danxia Peak.

Li Mufeng's eyes flickered slightly.

It seems that Chen Jingyuan's reply has arrived.
