Chapter 76 Talisman
Chapter 76 Talisman
In addition to more than 500 spirit stones and four bottles of elixirs, there were not many things in Huang Yunshang's storage bag. There were only two magic weapons, a talisman, several talismans, and two jade slips.
There are five pills in that bottle of healing pills. As long as the injury is not a broken limb, it can be cured after taking it and meditating for a few days.
The pill that restores mana is extremely precious, and there are only three of them.
After taking it, as long as you meditate for a quarter of an hour, all the magic power in your body will be restored. It can be very effective at a critical moment.
Huang Yunshang has thirteen talismans on him, but most of them are medium-grade talismans. There are only three high-grade talismans and one top-grade talisman.
That top-grade magic talisman is called "Senluo Talisman". After being activated, it can transform into a barrier composed of vines and trees with extremely strong defensive capabilities.
If Huang Yunshang had not needed to activate the talisman and control the Dingguang Mirror, which took up almost all of his spiritual consciousness, he would have definitely activated this top-grade talisman.
The rest of the talismans are mostly defensive talismans.
Huang Yunshang didn't have many magic weapons, only the Dingguang Mirror and the extremely hard silver flying sword.
This is the standard equipment for most Qi-refining practitioners, two magic weapons, one for attack and one for defense.
There are very few cultivators like Chen Yuan who carry five or six magical instruments on their bodies.
When a cultivator controls a magical weapon, he needs to occupy a part of his spiritual consciousness. The higher the grade of the magical weapon, the more spiritual consciousness it occupies.
Before Chen Yuan broke through the bottleneck of the late Qi Refining stage, his spiritual awareness could extend more than thirty feet, comparable to that of a cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage.
After he broke through the bottleneck, the range of his spiritual awareness increased by another ten feet, far exceeding that of a cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage.
Over the past twelve years, with the help of the starlight infusing his body, the coverage of Chen Yuan's spiritual consciousness has expanded by more than seven feet, and can extend to fifty-two feet, which is more than half of that of a foundation-building cultivator.
It is precisely because his spiritual awareness is so powerful that he can control multiple magical instruments at once.
Huang Yunshang's spiritual awareness is far inferior to Chen Yuan's. He cannot control many magical instruments, so he can only work on the quality of the magical instruments. This bronze mirror is a rare treasure.
Chen Yuan injected magic power into the bronze mirror, and the mirror emitted light, but it seemed a little dim because of a crack left by the falling lightning talisman.
Two seal characters "Dingguang" appeared behind the bronze mirror, with the font being ancient and elegant.
Chen Yuan used his magic power to quickly refine the Dingguang Mirror and understood the function of this magic weapon clearly.
The Fixed Light Mirror can emit a beam of white light to freeze the opponent's magic weapon and dissolve the opponent's spells.
A maximum of three white light beams can be released, which can fix three top-grade magical instruments.
If it is reduced to two, it can fix two top-grade magical weapons.
Concentrate all the power together and release a force that can hold a low-grade spiritual weapon in place for three breaths.
Such a mysterious magical weapon can be considered top-notch among the best magical weapons.
But for some reason, Huang Yunshang could only release two white beams of light. After concentrating the power of the Fixed Lightning Mirror, even the Falling Thunder Talisman could not block it.
Chen Yuan was confused and put down the fixed mirror. He picked up the silver flying sword and injected magic power into it.
He was deeply impressed by this flying sword. It was obviously only a top-grade magical weapon, but it was able to cut through the Qing Ning Shield with two sword strikes and remained intact under the falling thunder talisman.
But the strange thing is that after Chen Yuan refined the silver flying sword, it did not show any special features. It seemed to have only two characteristics: hardness and sharpness.
Chen Yuan pondered for a moment, put away the silver flying sword, and picked up the gray talisman.
This is his biggest gain today.
He stood up and walked into the yard, activated the power of the restriction as much as possible, and then injected magic power into the gray talisman.
The gray talisman was like a bottomless pit, continuously devouring Chen Yuan's magic power, emitting wisps of gray light, and condensing into the shadow of a giant axe.
After five breaths, Chen Yuan's magic power was consumed by a small half, and the shadow of the giant axe finally became solid.
This is a giant axe for splitting mountains, about ten feet long, with the word "Qianjun" written on the handle.
After the Qianjun Axe took shape, it continued to absorb Chen Yuan's magic power, and the luster on the gray talisman also dimmed little by little.
Chen Yuan did not dare to waste time, he made a spell with his hands and shouted softly:
"disease!"
The giant axe swung, flew forward, and smashed to the ground suddenly!
Boom!
There was a loud bang and the whole courtyard shook a few times.
The forbidden formation covering the courtyard emitted waves and was almost shattered.
On the originally flat ground, a seven-foot-deep pit was carved out by the Qianjun Axe, and there were cracks around it.
Seeing this, Chen Yuan smiled with satisfaction, withdrew his magic power, and the Qianjun Axe slowly dissipated.
Zhuming Mountain is located on a spiritual vein and has been nourished by spiritual energy for thousands of years, so the ground is extremely hard.
The Qianjun Axe can chop a seven-foot-wide hole in the ground. If it is chopped on ordinary rocks, the effect can be ten times greater, and its power is astonishing.
It’s a pity that the talisman can only be used three to five times at most before it turns to ashes.
This Qianjun Axe Talisman is of excellent quality and can be used five times in total.
Judging from the luster on the talisman, Huang Yunsang must have used it once before.
Today Chen Yuan tested the power of the Qianjun Axe. After using it once, he could use it three more times.
Chen Yuan put the Qianjun Axe Talisman into the storage bag, returned to the training room, picked up the two jade slips and began to read them.
A jade slip contains the basic martial art "Hou Tu Jue" that Huang Yunshang practices, and it has no value.
Another jade slip records a magic secret technique called "Cai Yin Bu Yang Jue".
To practice this art of replenishing yin with yang, one needs to use a virgin as a cauldron, replenish the yin essence of female cultivators, and increase one's own cultivation.
To have sex with a virgin in the late stage of Qi Refining is equivalent to three years of hard training.
However, those who practice this technique have mixed furnace and cauldron magic power in their bodies, and their foundation is unstable.
Chen Yuan suddenly realized that the magic power in Huang Yunshang's body was mixed, which was why he was unable to unleash the full power of the Dingguang Mirror.
This secret technique is detrimental to the foundation. Chen Yuan doesn't know why Huang Yunshang would practice this technique when he obviously has no shortage of elixirs and spiritual stones, but he will not touch it.
After putting away the two jade slips, there was nothing else on the table.
In today's competition, Chen Yuan used up ten wind blade talismans, one falling thunder talisman, destroyed the Qingning Shield, and spent more than a thousand spirit stones, which was a complete profit.
Just a Qianjun Axe Talisman is worth thousands of spirit stones, and it is priceless. Chen Yuan was in a good mood. He came to the courtyard, drew the starlight into his body, and then took a Yuhua Pill, closed his eyes and meditated to restore his magic power.
……
Lingyun Sect was silent in the night, with only clouds and mist slowly flowing in all directions.
Bixiu Peak, which is fifty miles away from Zhuming Mountain, is over a thousand feet high and has a strong spiritual energy. There are more than a hundred inner disciples who have opened up caves on the mountain.
In one of the caves, a young monk sat on a stone chair and murmured:
"Yun Sang is dead?"
He was wearing the standard black robes of the Lingyun sect's Qi-refining disciples. He looked to be only in his twenties, with lips as thin as a knife and a handsome face, but his expression was extremely ugly.
Sitting opposite the young man was a man, who was none other than Senior Brother Yuan, who had led Chen Yuan around the mountain gate during the day.
He sighed and said:
"Brother Huang, please accept my condolences. The man who killed your brother happened to be the one I welcomed into the valley. His name was Chen Yuan. I have already drawn his face. Brother Huang, please take a look."
The young monk was Huang Yunshang’s biological brother, Huang Yundao.
He took the jade slip handed to him by Senior Brother Yuan, probed it with his spiritual sense, and after a long time, he put the jade slip down.
At this time, he had regained his composure and bowed to Senior Brother Yuan:
"Brother Yuan, you told me about Yunsang's death in time. Huang owes you a favor."
Senior Brother Yuan smiled and said:
"It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning. I took Chen Yuan for a tour of the mountain gate today and I'm quite familiar with him. If Senior Brother Huang wants to deal with him, I can help."
Huang Yundao thought for a moment and said coldly:
"Private fighting is strictly prohibited inside the mountain gate. Chen Yuan has talked with Xue Lin for a while, so he should know Yun Shang's identity. He certainly doesn't dare to leave the mountain gate, so it's difficult to take action in a short period of time. We should wait until Chen Yuan relaxes his vigilance, and then ask Junior Brother Yuan to lure him out of the mountain gate, and then secretly surround and kill him to avenge this!"
Senior Brother Yuan smiled and said:
"Brother Huang is thoughtful. I will make friends with Chen Yuan first, and then lend a helping hand to Brother Huang after I gain his trust."
Huang Yundao nodded:
"I'd like to trouble Brother Yuan to help. After the matter is accomplished, I will speak to my uncle and ask him to transfer Brother Yuan to the Huaijiang Mountain Spiritual Mine as the manager."
Senior Brother Yuan was overjoyed and clasped his fists and said:
"Thank you, Senior Brother Huang!"
……
The next morning, Chen Yuan came to the foot of Suolong Peak, holding the sound transmission talisman given to him by the black-faced monk.
Yesterday he specifically asked Senior Brother Yuan about the location of Locking Dragon Peak and learned that this was the residence of the deacons and disciples of the sect.
He injected a trace of magic power into the sound transmission note, and the note turned into a stream of light and flew towards the mountain.
Chen Yuan drove a medium-grade flying boat and followed closely behind.
He had bought this flying boat in Huanyue Market before and used it for short-distance flights.
The magic power of Qi-refining monks is weak, and it is difficult for them to fly for a long time, so they can only use this as an emergency measure.
The sound transmission note was too fast, and Chen Yuan could only keep up by controlling the flying boat.
A quarter of an hour later, the sound transmission note flew into a cave halfway up the mountain. Chen Yuan stopped in front of the cave, put away the flying boat, and waited quietly.
After a while, the stone door of the cave slowly opened, and a figure walked out, bowing and saluting:
"Congratulations, Junior Brother Chen, for passing the Ascension Conference!"
When Chen Yuan saw this person, he was surprised:
"Senior Brother Mo?"
This person was Mo Jingchun who sold him the information in Zhaoxian Valley.
Mo Jingchun raised his hand and gestured:
"Brother Chen, please follow me."
Chen Yuan pondered for a moment and followed Mo Jingchun into the cave.
Behind the two of them, the stone door of the cave slowly closed.
After entering the cave, the two walked along a passage for more than ten steps and came to a stone hall.
The hall was simply furnished, with a few bright luminous pearls inlaid on the walls and a few stone chairs placed around a stone table.
The black-faced monk sat on one of the stone chairs, holding a sound transmission note in his hand, and looked at the two of them with a smile.
Chen Yuan bowed and saluted:
"Disciple Chen Yuan, greetings to Uncle Master."
The black-faced monk laughed and said:
"Sit down and talk. My name is Yi Jin, you can just call me Uncle Master Yi."
"Yes, Uncle Yi."
Chen Yuan sat down opposite Yi Jin, and Mo Jingchun followed suit.
Chen Yuan glanced at Mo Jingchun and asked:
"Uncle Yi, do you know Brother Mo?"
Yi Jin nodded:
"I have known Jingchun for a long time."
Mo Jingchun smiled and said:
"Junior Brother Chen has great skills and is decisive in killing Huang Yunshang on the ring. I admire him."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan knew that Yi Jin had already told Mo Jingchun about the arena.
Yi Jin showed me kindness, so he must have some grudge against Huang...
He changed his mind and said with a smile:
"Huang Yunshang is a dandy boy whose life and death are in my hands. He dares to negotiate with me. Naturally, I will not show mercy to him."
Yi Jin asked:
"Huang Yunshang is the beloved grandson of Huang Linye, the patriarch of the Huang family. Aren't you afraid that the Huang family will seek revenge on you, nephew Chen?"
