to help out at your studio just yet." Hao Ren replied.“Hmm, since you can’t make it this weekend, let’s push it back another week.” Zhao Hongyu smiled gently."Then... Father, Mother, I'll take my lea...Chapter 634: A Super Talisman...
The late Condensation Stage cultivator saw other cultivators around him probing and prying, so he quickly closed the box and stepped onto a flying sword, dashing towards Qingcheng Sect's camp.
Qingcheng Sect is an ancient sect with abundant resources. After the great war ended hundreds of years ago in the Cultivation World, unlike Qionglong Sect which gradually declined or was even eliminated, Qingcheng Sect ascended to the Sixth Heavenly Layer and worked hard to cultivate and produce numerous powerful experts. It has firmly held its position on the Sixth Heavenly Layer up until now.
This time when they arrived at Mystic Peak in the Fifth Heavenly Layer, they almost brought half of their sect’s treasure vault with them, including formidable treasures, rare cultivation methods, high-grade alchemy furnaces, various talisman books, and also precious iron essence flowers from ten thousand years ago.
So while other sects rushed to the Sixth Heavenly Layer to search for what Ancestral Medicine King needed, Qingcheng Sect quickly found the iron essence flower and rushed first to the valley entrance of Mystic Peak.
This leading disciple of Qingcheng Sect held the box and hurriedly rushed into Old Ancestor Susyang's tent with great anxiety.
If it were in the past, if a disciple entered their master’s chamber when they were meditating, this would be considered disrespectful.
But now that Old Ancestor Susyang had fallen back to the Condensation Stage realm, he did not have such thoughts. He raised his hand and asked, "How is it"
There was even some anxiety in his words, which was completely unworthy of his status as an ancestral elder.
"This is what Ancestral Medicine King bestowed upon us!" The leading disciple of Qingcheng Sect stepped forward and respectfully placed the box before Old Ancestor Susyang.
Old Ancestor Susyang's hands trembled slightly as he opened the box, discovering a golden talisman inside. No, rather than calling it a golden talisman, it would be more accurate to say that it was a yellow one—this was the most ordinary material for making talismans.
Among sects in the Sixth Heavenly Layer, Mount Heaven Sect is the best at miscellaneous studies, but this does not mean that other sects only engage in cultivation and nothing else. Take Qingcheng Sect as an example; with its deep-rooted background from when it was a major sect on land, they have considerable insights into talismans.
So while the strongest beast tamers and alchemists are found in Mount Heaven Sect within the Sixth Heavenly Layer, the strongest talisman masters are in Qingcheng Sect.
This Old Ancestor Susyang does not specialize in studying talismans, but as a Core Formation elder of Qingcheng Sect, he is far from unfamiliar with them. Just by glancing at it, he knew that this talisman's material was quite ordinary and usually used by cultivators in the Fifth Heavenly Layer.
However, upon closer inspection of the patterns on the talisman paper, he found them very exquisite, something he had never seen before.
"Quickly call your senior uncles over here." Old Ancestor Susyang, feeling more and more that this was not simple, suddenly raised his head and said to the disciple in front of him.
Qingcheng Sect has five Core Formation cultivators. Among them, Old Ancestor Susyang is the highest-ranking Late Core Formation powerhouse. Each of these five ancestral elders has their own tent.
Soon after, Qingcheng Sect's other four ancestral elders entered Old Ancestor Susyang's tent led by Liu Heng.
Their eyes showed some envy when they saw what "Ancestral Medicine King" had bestowed upon them. However, their realms and standings were not as high as Old Ancestor Susyang’s; now that only one item was received, its use would definitely be decided by Old Ancestor Susyang.
"All of you carefully examine this talisman." Old Ancestor Susyang pushed the box towards them and said calmly.
After all, he was a late-stage Core Formation cultivator of great accomplishment. He wouldn't rush into things hastily; therefore, after receiving the item from Old Ancestor Medicine King, he did not use it immediately but instead thought about taking this opportunity to study it.
The four elders approached closely and looked down at the talismans inside the box. Since these talismans were a reward from Old Ancestor Medicine King, they were extremely precious; hence, none of them dared to touch them with their hands.
Old Ancestor Xu Yang used two fingers to flip over the talisman in the box. The back of the paper had no markings and looked like an ordinary talisman upon close inspection.
"Have you all taken a good look" Old Ancestor Xu Yang asked them.
“Yes, we have." The four elders answered in unison. As core formation elders of Qingcheng Sect, they each had some background in talismans. Especially the mid-stage Core Formation elder Deer Yan, he was even a Talisman Master of Qingcheng Sect.
"Liu Heng, why don't you try" Old Ancestor Xu Yang looked at Liu Heng inside the tent and said slowly.
He seemed calm on the surface but actually felt somewhat anxious. On one hand, he was worried that these talismans had been stored for too long and might have become ineffective; therefore, he needed to use them quickly. On the other hand, he was concerned about any side effects of using the talisman since his cultivation realm had declined but his core formation hadn't suffered any damage.
Qingcheng Sect was the first to receive the talisman and would also be the first to try it… They must give it a shot!
Old Ancestor Xu Yang took out the talisman from the box and placed it in Liu Heng's hand.
Liu Heng's hands were trembling slightly. This talisman was given by Old Ancestor Medicine King of Mysterious Peak, as well as a valuable exchange for three thousand-year-old Iron Spirit Flowers provided by Qingcheng Sect. Moreover, the recipient of this talisman was late-stage Core Formation elder Xu Yang of Qingcheng Sect; if anything went wrong… "There's no need to worry! Among us here, you have the highest realm!" Old Ancestor Xu Yang looked at Liu Heng and said calmly.
The other four elders from Qingcheng Sect stood on either side, watching Liu Heng closely.
Liu Heng gritted his teeth, placed the talisman in his hand, and steadily released spiritual energy into it.
The four elders all widened their eyes and stared intently at any changes to the talisman in Liu Heng's hand.
The patterns on the yellow paper began to gradually brighten. This was a phenomenon they had seen countless times, yet this time, none of them dared to relax.
"Here goes!" The talisman in Liu Heng’s palm shot out suddenly.
Old Ancestor Xu Yang sat calmly on the bed with his eyes already closed.
The talisman emitted a beam of golden light that pierced right through Old Ancestor Xu Yang's forehead.
Liu Heng was Qingcheng Sect’s top disciple and the undisputed successor to be their future sect leader; naturally, he had considerable strength. Drawing and firing off talismans were basic skills every new initiate in Qingcheng Sect learned; Liu Heng's technique for releasing a talisman would certainly not go wrong.
The late-stage Core Formation elder Xu Yang, who had already fallen to the later stage of Nascent Soul Realm, felt his entire body shiver as the invisible chains tightly bound on all major meridians suddenly shattered.
Suppressed core formation spiritual energy was suddenly released!
Bang!
The tent was blown to pieces instantly!
"Hahaha! Hahaha!"
Venerable Suyang let out six loud bursts of laughter as he stepped on a beam of green light and soared into the sky.
When Liu Heng and the other four venerables were swept to the ground by this intense spiritual energy, they quickly got up and looked up at the sky in delight—Venerable Suyang’s cultivation stage had returned!
The disciples from the other sects, who were anxiously watching the direction of Qingcheng Sect, suddenly saw a core formation cultivator from Qingcheng soaring into the clouds.
Venerable Medicine King on Immortal Misty Peak had lifted Venerable Suyang’s cultivation stage!
Bam… A mountain far away was blown to smithereens by one of the treasures shot out by Venerable Suyang.
At Qingcheng’s camp, all the cultivators cheered up.
The disciples from other sects felt a bit scared.
A late-stage core formation cultivator’s aura covered Immortal Misty Peak and an area of thousands of kilometers around it in less than an instant!
Venerable Suyang displayed his spiritual energy in the sky, then calmed down and quickly suppressed his aura as he flew towards the entrance to Immortal Misty Valley.
He had just been too excited that he forgot that this was Immortal Misty Peak’s territory. If Venerable Medicine King inside the valley were displeased… There were also many core formation cultivators from other sects at the mouth of the valley who quickly avoided him when they saw a late-stage core formation cultivator flying over.
"Junior thanks senior for saving my life!" Venerable Suyang said respectfully, bowing with his hands clasped together in front of him as he stood at the entrance to Immortal Misty Valley.
The other cultivators around looked at Venerable Suyang and were a bit surprised. As a late-stage core formation cultivator from Qingcheng Sect, Venerable Suyang’s attitude was very lofty; however, in front of Medicine King Venerable on Immortal Misty Peak, he called himself junior.
There was no response from the valley as it remained silent.
Hao Ren was tending to his collapsed spirit field at this moment.
The valley had very abundant spiritual energy; Hao Ren felt a little bit of his spiritual power recover, roughly half a level.
Several snow lion cubs who had spent two days in fear and unease in the valley started crying when they saw Xie Yujia appear. They all surrounded him.
"Time to eat…" Xie Yujia squatted down and took out several dozen pills from his ring, handing them over to the cubs.
Click, click... The snow lions were gnawing on the pills as if they were eating beans, swallowing them greedily. They even bumped each other with their butts to ensure they wouldn't miss out.
The sisters from the Lu family felt心疼 when they saw the damage to the spirit fields and followed Hua Ren's example by taking off their shoes and socks, rolling up their pants, and running over to tidy up the fields.
They left a series of small footprints in the moist soil as their jade-like feet stepped on it.
"Master!" They jumped into the water paddy after crossing the muddy ground. Their four little legs looked like newly grown lotus roots.
Hua Ren pulled up his pant cuffs to his knees and rolled up his sleeves, bending down to throw out all the stones in the water field.
These spirit fields were a result of Xie Yujia's hard work. Before, it was always Xie Yujia who tended them alone. Hua Ren knew that even if she didn't say so, she must have been sad about this.
Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉 stood in the icy water carefully straightening the spirit grasses growing there. They had never done such work before but they were willing to get dirty and tired as long as it made Hua Ren happy.
"Please, venerable ancestor, lend a hand and help my several junior brothers解脫封靈之苦. Qingcheng Sect is willing to exchange 100 thousand mid-grade spirit stones for one talisman from the venerable ancestor!"
Suyang Old Ancestor continued shouting outside the valley. A hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones could crush a dozen sects at the Fifth Layer of Heaven, and only Qingcheng Sect with its three spirit vein mines had such financial strength.
When Suyang Old Ancestor mentioned this condition, all other sect cultivators secretly gasped in their hearts and raised the conditions of their own sects.
Xie Yujia, who was feeding the snow lion cubs, turned to look at Hua Ren.
"Ignore him." Hua Ren waved his hand dismissively.
Xie Yujia nodded and slowly rolled up her own pants, took off her shoes and socks, and walked barefoot towards the spirit field. Her skin was very fair, and her legs were beautifully shaped, making Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉 a bit envious as well.
More than ten snow lion cubs who had just eaten full stomachs followed Xie Yujia closely, like a row of ducklings.
Suyang Old Ancestor, lingering outside the valley, saw that there was still no reaction from Mysterious Peak and finally turned away in disappointment to return to his camp.
The other sect's Core Formation cultivators around sighed inwardly—Mysterious Peak was truly formidable. Even a late-stage Core Formation powerhouse didn't even bother looking back, and such a high-level powerhouse wouldn’t dare to show any attitude at all!
Whiz… The moment Qingcheng Sect’s Suyang Old Ancestor flew away, a white carriage came floating through the air.
"I am Duan Wuxin, the headmaster of Tianshan Sect, respectfully meeting Medicine King Venerable!"
