Chapter 19 Talisman Inheritance
"Walk!"
While Chen Liu was pondering, two Qi Refining Realm Level 3 guys grabbed Lin Guangxiong, intending to escape with him.
However, just as they moved, Chen Liu's two fingers joined together, forming a sword.
A myriad of sword lights, imbued with the colors of the five elements, condensed between heaven and earth, enveloping the two figures like threads.
The moment the two of them rushed over with Lin Guangxiong, their legs were instantly sliced into countless pieces by the Five Elements Sword Light.
Before the two could scream, Chen Liu unleashed another palm strike: "Bang! Bang!"
"Pfft!"
Chen Liu slapped both of their heads so hard that their scalps ruptured, and they spat out a mouthful of blood, instantly losing consciousness and rolling their eyes back as they fainted.
The remaining two people's expressions changed drastically, and they also wanted to escape.
But the next moment they realized that a terrifying aura and presence were emanating from around them.
"Pfft!"
"Spare us, we were wrong!"
The two men immediately knelt down, crying and begging for mercy from Chen Liu in great fear.
Chen Liu nodded to Lin Guangxiong and the others and calmly said, "Bring them in."
The remaining two cultivators trembled with fear, but had no choice but to obey Chen Liu's orders. They carried Lin Guangxiong and the other two back into Chen Liu's cave and activated the array to shield them from the outside world.
Inside the cave, Chen Liu inquired about information concerning the Liu family, such as their alchemy and talisman-making traditions, as well as their influence and territory.
For example, how did they find him, and why did they want to find him?
After finding out the details, Chen Liu suddenly realized and shook his head silently, saying, "They are already one of the two top cultivation families in Fulai Market, yet they still raise cultivators who rob and kill rogue cultivators everywhere."
Although these people were only raised by the eldest son of the Liu family, since they had offended him, the Liu family would naturally be held responsible.
After searching the group again, they also found a Qiankun bag magic artifact on Lin Guangxiong.
In addition, there was a low-grade magic weapon sword, a first-grade mid-grade talisman brush, and some materials for drawing talismans.
A Qi Refining Method, a first-tier mid-grade talisman master's inheritance.
When Chen Liu saw the information on the jade slip found in Lin Guangxiong's Qiankun bag, his eyes lit up: "Good stuff! I didn't expect you to have a talisman master's inheritance on you."
Lin Guangxiong recovered somewhat, but his dantian was struck by Chen Liu's palm, and he still couldn't gather the magic power in his body. Every time he tried to mobilize his magic power, he would feel an unbearable pain, which made his face turn pale and blue, and he would be covered in cold sweat.
Looking at the delighted Chen Liu, his expression shifted for a moment before he took a deep breath and finally softened, saying, "If you release us, I can guarantee that I will never cause you any more trouble from now on, and this matter will not be pursued any further."
"I can even take you to see the eldest young master. He values talent above all else. As long as you serve him, whether you want cultivation techniques, talisman techniques, or alchemy inheritance, it won't be a problem."
"Everything is negotiable."
In his view, for someone as lowly as Chen Liu, who was only at the Qi Refining Realm, to have the opportunity to join the Liu Clan was already an incredible stroke of luck, a blessing that this guy could only dream of.
However, Chen Liu didn't even glance at him. After setting up a series of restrictions on Lin Guangxiong and the others with the Five Elements Sword Light, he went back with great interest to study the talisman master inheritance he had just obtained.
in the room.
Based on the talisman master's inheritance he had received, Chen Liu meticulously organized the talisman materials, talisman brushes, talisman ink, and other items in Lin Guangxiong's Qiankun bag.
"The way of talismans is actually to seal spells on talisman paper. When needed, there is no need to consume one's own magic power to cast the spell. Only a wisp of magic power is needed to activate the talisman."
Chen Liu pondered for a moment, then continued his research and discovered that this talisman technique was not as simple as just 'sealing' spells on talisman paper.
Each line and pattern carved on the talisman has its own unique mystery.
This process requires the integration of one's own magical power and spiritual energy. The moment the talisman is drawn, the talisman, in harmony with the mysteries of heaven and earth, will absorb the power of heaven and earth of the same attribute until the talisman is completely formed.
Therefore, the true source of power for talismans is not the talisman master himself.
It's like casting a spell on a talisman, ultimately gathering the power of heaven and earth for one's own use.
Thinking of this, Chen Liu couldn't help but wonder, "If I could comprehend more profound talisman techniques, would I be able to draw them? Even if my cultivation level is far inferior, for example, I am currently at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Realm, but I have already comprehended the inheritance of a second-tier talisman master. Would that allow me to become a second-tier talisman master?"
Of course, he understood that there was a prerequisite: his own power had to be sufficient to successfully draw the talisman.
Having grasped the basics of this talisman master's inheritance, Chen Liu looked at the many talisman diagrams contained within it. The lines and patterns were like a maze, yet they resonated with the mysteries of heaven and earth, forming unique talisman techniques.
"Cleansing Talisman, Sound Barrier Talisman... Spirit Gathering Talisman, Water Repelling Talisman, Evil Extermination Talisman, Swift Travel Talisman, Golden Body Talisman, Frost Talisman, Fire Dragon Talisman..."
There were a total of thirty-two talismans, including low-grade and mid-grade first-order talismans.
After standing in front of the table with his eyes closed for more than half an hour, Chen Liu opened his eyes and immediately picked up the talisman brush that he had prepared in advance to practice drawing his first basic talisman, the Cleansing Talisman.
More than two quarters of an hour passed while the drawing was being done. When it was halfway done, the energy on the talisman suddenly became disordered. With a bang, the talisman spontaneously combusted without fire and turned to ashes.
My first attempt at drawing a talisman failed.
However, at the moment of defeat, a line of words appeared in Chen Liu's mind;
[Dust Cleansing Talisman Proficiency +10%]
A flash of inspiration struck Chen Liu, and he immediately understood the reason for his mistake: "So that's it, the amount of magic power was a bit too much."
He prepared another set of talisman materials and continued practicing drawing talismans.
Time flew by, and more than an hour passed. Accompanied by a ripple of spiritual energy flowing into the room, another Cleansing Talisman took shape on the table in front of Chen Liu.
It was filled with a pale blue ethereal light, exuding a mysterious and divine aura.
[Dust Cleansing Talisman Proficiency +10%]
[Talisman: Cleansing Talisman (Tier 1, Low Grade, 100% Proficiency)]
Using a small amount of the talisman materials in Lin Guangxiong's hands, Chen Liu drew a total of ten Cleansing Talismans. Except for the first two failures, the remaining eight were successful.
Although Chen Liu had never been exposed to the art of talismans before, drawing a small, low-grade first-level Cleansing Dust Talisman was a piece of cake for him, thanks to his extremely high level of understanding.
It only took ten tries to raise the proficiency of the Cleansing Talisman to 100% perfection.
Drawing this talisman is 100% successful; there is no chance of failure.
"Continue." Chen Liu put the talisman into his Qiankun bag with satisfaction, and then took out another set of materials.
Next, draw talismans such as the sound barrier, the spirit gathering talisman, and the water-avoiding talisman.
The next morning, Chen Liu went out and sold all the low-grade first-tier talismans he had. He then bought back two hundred sets of ordinary low-grade first-tier talisman materials to continue practicing talisman techniques.
He successfully drew nearly sixty of the more than seventy talisman materials.
Thirty low-grade spirit stones were sold.
One hundred sets of ordinary Tier 1 low-grade talisman materials require ten low-grade spirit stones to produce.
In the lineage of talisman masters, basic talismans such as the Cleansing Talisman and the Sound-Isolating Talisman are not of high value. They are mainly used for practice and are excellent introductory talismans.
If all you can do is draw these talismans, you'll only lose money.
It's not just about talisman techniques; to master any of the various arts of cultivation, including alchemy and weapon crafting, one has to keep spending money to learn them—it's like a bottomless pit.
Chen Liu started learning the art of talismans yesterday, and today he has already mastered all the first-tier low-grade talismans.
