Mysterious World: I Have a Lost Heavenly Court

Looking at the shimmering seven-colored characters on the jade pendant, Lu Changqing felt as if his heart was filled with something, and he was extremely satisfied.

But in the next instant, his vision went black, the world spun around him, and he was about to fall uncontrollably.

Qingyun quickly stepped forward and helped Lu Changqing up. "Young Master, it's not advisable to refine talismans today."

"Making talismans is much more laborious than forging magic."

"You've been drawing for two whole hours. It's almost lunchtime, so you need to rest today."

Lu Changqing was supported by the petite and gentle but strong Qingyun. After a while, the dizziness gradually subsided.

He nodded, not trying to be brave.

At that moment, he realized what "spiritual deficiency" meant.

It was even more exaggerated than the feeling I had after staying up all night online.

Lu Changqing was helped to sit in a chair.

He closed his eyes, letting the cool little hands massage his temples.

"Young Master, you're amazing!"

"Qingyun spent more than ten days practicing magic and learning talismans."

"But you only took a morning!"

Qingyun's speech was halting and her tone was very forceful, indicating that she was extremely excited.

Lu Changqing smiled but didn't open his eyes: "Before I cultivated, I couldn't sense it."

"Now it seems, perhaps he has some talent."

Then he asked, "Qingyun, can you make some other talismans?"

"For example, those for self-defense, those that increase running speed, and those that have stronger attack power."

Qingyun immediately nodded and said earnestly, "Of course!"

"Because the young master did not practice martial arts before, his qi and blood were out of control and he had no spiritual power in his body, which made it impossible for him to activate talismans. Therefore, the master and madam did not prepare various spiritual talismans for you."

"Things are different now, young master. You have spiritual power now, so not only will Qingyun provide you with enough talismans, but even the master and madam will prepare them for you!"

As she spoke, Qingyun lowered her head, untied the cloth bag from her waist, opened it, and handed it to Lu Changqing. "Young Master, take these talismans for now."

Lu Changqing opened his eyes.

A stack of talismans, gently bent and placed in a cloth bag, came into view.

At this moment, he already possessed spiritual power within him, and in his eyes, the bag of talismans was filled with various colors.

Clearly, this corresponds to all sorts of talismans.

"Young Master, Qingyun will show you the effects of these talismans later."

"There are thirteen first-tier talismans, and as for the second-tier talismans... apart from the Rock Armor Talisman, I wouldn't recommend the young master use the others."

"Because the young master's spiritual energy is insufficient and his control over it is also inadequate, using a second-tier talisman directly might harm him."

Lu Changqing immediately understood after hearing this.

To put it another way, someone who lacks strength might find it easier to use a simple weapon like a dagger or a kitchen knife than a tiger-headed saber or a heavy spear.

Forcing its use might not help in defeating the enemy, but could actually harm yourself.

"Okay, I understand." Lu Changqing nodded.

Qingyun handed over two talismans from the table: "Young Master, please keep them safe."

When Lu Changqing received the talisman made by Qingyun, the jade tablet in his mind flashed.

[Found an unfamiliar talisman, Paranormal Points +1]

"I don't have any homemade ones, but the ones made by Qingyun are effective."

"The other talismans in the bag are most likely the same."

With this thought in mind, Lu Changqing took out all the talismans.

A total of seventeen talismans were used, and after removing duplicate talismans, eleven supernatural points were added to him.

[Paranormal Activity Point: 13]

"Acquiring paranormal points isn't too difficult."

"So, in that case, perhaps the number of times we can enter the Ancient Ruins can be left uncontrolled?"

"If you encounter difficult enemies or predicaments later on, you can wear them down by frequently entering the fray, especially when fighting elite monsters..."

"There are also various issues related to decryption, traps, etc., which can be addressed through infinite resurrections."

Lu Changqing felt that the future held promise.

With Qingyun's help, Lu Changqing quickly became familiar with the various functions of the bag of talismans.

It has everything: attack, defense, and buffs.

After feeling the Lu family's favoritism and care for the original owner, Lu Changqing couldn't help but sigh, "It's so good to have such a large family and business."

If the original owner had practiced martial arts even a little, and controlled her qi and blood, she could have reached the level of activating talismans before going out...

There is definitely no chance of being ambushed.

Even if it's severe, it can buy some time.

...

After learning about talismans and having lunch, Lu Changqing felt he had recovered and planned to try drawing talismans again.

The power of the Gale Talisman is considerable; if it hits a person, it will certainly cause severe cuts and excruciating pain, if not a bloody hole.

The more the better.

But Qingyun stopped him, saying, "Young Master, feeling less tired doesn't mean you've recovered."

"Energy recovery is very slow."

"One morning of engraving is more than enough; continuing will only leave hidden damage."

Lu Changqing listened to advice.

But he does feel that he is in very good condition right now.

So, after telling Qingyun that it was just a trial, Qingyun stopped trying to dissuade her.

Lu Changqing walked to the table in the center of the room again, picked up the talisman brush, and circulated his spiritual energy.

As soon as he started sketching, his vision began to blur, and he felt as if Venus was spinning.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately stopped and rested briefly while holding onto the corner of the table.

After a moment, he looked up at Qingyun, whose face was full of worry, and smiled helplessly: "It really is as you said."

I thought he had some special abilities, that he could be different in this aspect.

It seems best to just wait patiently for my energy to recover.

Time passed, and about half an hour went by.

Lu Changqing, who was browsing through miscellaneous articles and trying to gain a better understanding of the world, suddenly heard Qingyun, who was meditating by the bed, stir.

He put down the book in his hand and looked up.

Then, Qingyun stopped sitting cross-legged and stretched out her lotus-root-like clean legs. She wore white silk stockings, and her soft little feet, which were flesh-colored and silk stockings, put on shoes.

He got out of bed briskly, lifted the cumbersome robe, and began to practice horse stance.

With a physique so toned and without an ounce of excess fat, her martial arts practice is quite a sight to behold.

However, Lu Changqing did not appreciate it too much. His eyes lit up as he thought that since this girl cultivated both body and Dao, she might be able to give him some pointers on martial arts.

"Light Clouds".

"Hmm? What's wrong, young master?"

"I can't practice magic or make talismans right now, but can I practice martial arts?"

"Physical training is certainly possible."

Lu Changqing immediately stood up from his chair, his eyes shining. "How about you teach me a few tricks?"

Upon hearing this, Qingyun stopped her horse stance and pondered for a moment:

"Young Master's health has indeed improved a lot. Because of his cultivation, he is even better than when he was attacked before."

"That's something I could practice..."

"only..."

Lu Changqing: "Just what?"

Qingyun said, "It will be very tiring, and the paths of Dao and Body are different. If you intend to cultivate both Dao and Body, I don't really recommend it."

"If the number of techniques learned increases, the consumption of both energy and physical strength will be extremely high."

To this, Lu Changqing simply smiled and said, "Have you forgotten how quickly your young master mastered the basics of magic and talismans?"

"rest assured."

Upon hearing this, Qingyun grunted twice and then slowly nodded: "Then... young master, there are actually even more powerful martial arts masters in the family."

"How about Uncle Wu teaches you, young master?"

"If Uncle Wu refuses, Qingyun will teach him herself."

An image of a one-armed old man flashed into Lu Changqing's mind.

Despite his physical disability, he had been the Lu family's butler since childhood.

Furthermore, his father, Lu Mang, was quite polite to him.

Lu Changqing asked, "Is he very capable?"

Qingyun nodded emphatically: "Yes! Very impressive!"

Lu Changqing hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Qingyun, what is your martial arts level?"

Qingyun: "I didn't break through to the Skin Refining Realm because I wanted to try to forge the 'Water and Fire Immortal Robe'."

There are three realms in martial arts.

The skin-refining technique allows one to unleash powerful punches, like the thunderous roar of a tiger or leopard.

Bone Refinement Realm: Steel Bones and Iron Bones, Qi and Blood Protecting the Body.

In the Blood Refining Realm, blood is as pure as lead and mercury, and vital energy is as fierce as smoke.

As for the Water and Fire Immortal Robe that Qingyun mentioned, it represents the ultimate level of skin refining.

In layman's terms, it is a level beyond the Perfection of the Skin Refining Realm, a level that is not attainable by ordinary people.

It is said that by mastering the Water and Fire Immortal Robe, one can be impervious to swords and spears, and immune to water and fire.

Corresponding to the Bone Refining Realm and Blood Refining Realm are: Golden Muscle and Jade Meridian, Mercury Blood and Silver Marrow.

Lu Changqing asked, "Uncle Wu is too serious. I was too afraid of him before, so I don't understand him very well."

"Is his strength at the peak of Bone Refinement?"

Qingyun pondered, seemingly recalling her feelings.

After a few moments, she replied seriously, "At least at the mid-stage of Blood Refinement."

Lu Changqing took a deep breath, turned around and walked out of the house: "Let's go."

"Come with me to see Uncle Wu."

PS:

I'm truly sorry for disrupting everyone's reading flow.

However, this is related to the setting of this book, and I must make it clear to the readers, otherwise it will differ from the traditional mortal cultivation novel and may cause bugs.

This book covers Taoist practices, spellcasting, and the creation of talismans.

Essentially, it's all about "borrowing the power of heaven and earth through spiritual energy."

It's not quite the same as the "spiritual root" of ordinary people.

Example 1:

My dear readers and I are both practitioners of Taoism.

We all have the opportunity to learn lightning magic, wind magic, and ice magic.

It is not something that only those with special spiritual roots can possess.

Because it borrows the power from heaven and earth, it has nothing to do with one's own spiritual roots.

Essentially, it all comes down to the control and mastery of the spiritual energy within the body over the surrounding environment.

Example 2:

You know the secrets and hand seals of wind and fire magic.

I only know one of them.

In terms of raw power, you are definitely stronger than me.

Or, you know fire magic, I know wood magic, I'm countered, so you're still the stronger ones.

Example 3:

The spells we know are all the same, such as "Gale Spell".

The same applies to realms of understanding.

But you guys are skilled, you can execute the hand seals in a flash, while I have to struggle for more than ten breaths to finish. You guys are really better.

That's probably what it means.

Spiritual power has no attribute distinction for an individual.

However, there are differences in the level of proficiency in the techniques mastered.

Combat awareness and various other objective factors also play a role.

That's roughly the logic.

So, I'm very sorry to the author who felt that chapters 7 and 8 didn't quite fit the traditional mortal cultivation genre.
