After integrating various True Talisman Techniques, Chu Ning began to further explore the thods of using this Divine Technique.
For instance, he attempted to replace one of the five True Talisman Techniques within the Talisman Ring.
He discovered that he could only activate one technique, and then after a quarter of an hour, he could integrate another True Talisman Technique.
He also tried to integrate the sa talisman, and it did not affect anything.
In the end, Chu Ning chose to integrate a Vajra Talisman, a Yin Thunder Talisman, an Earth Escape Talisman, and two Geng tal Sword Talismans into the Talisman Ring.
These were the highest level talismans he could currently produce, balancing offense, defense, and escape.
However, this was only temporary.
Next, his goal was to integrate Basic Upper Grade Talismans.
Returning from the hillside back to the Market, Chu Ning closed the door and imdiately headed to the talisman-making room.
The Spirit Talisman not only included Basic Middle Grade Talismans but was also inscribed with three types of Basic Upper Grade Talismans.
Now, Chu Ning, already at the Qi Refining Late Stage cultivation, could naturally try making these Basic Upper Grade Talismans.
After practicing the Refining Spirit Technique once, he adjusted his Divine Sense to its optimal state.
Chu Ning took out the talisman brush and other tools from his Storage Bag.
He also reminisced about the content regarding Basic Upper Grade Talismans recorded in the Spirit Talisman.
There are three types of Upper Grade Talismans.
They are the Fire Elent Attack Talisman Red Fla Talisman, the Cloud Soaring Talisman that aids cultivators in flying for a short ti, and the Defense Talisman Flowing Ice Shield Talisman.
According to the introduction, the production of these three talismans ranges from easy to difficult.
Since Chu Ning had never made a Basic Upper Grade Talisman before, he decided to start with the simplest Red Fla Talisman.
After reviewing the crafting technique for the Red Fla Talisman in his mind, Chu Ning imdiately picked up the brush to start making the talisman.
Even though it was his first ti engaging with Basic Upper Grade Talismans, with the support of the Talismanic Spirit Body,
Chu Ning seed as though he had been familiar with this talisman for a long ti.
The talisman paper was almost completed by Chu Ning, but then a minor mishap caused a failure at the last mont of lifting the brush.
Chu Ning spread out another sheet of talisman paper, closed his eyes, and briefly recalled the process of his previous failed attempt.
Then, he dipped the brush in ink once more and began his second attempt.
This ti, Chu Ning almost completed the entire talisman paper in one go.
However, at the next instant when the talismanic rune glowed a red light and rged into the talisman paper,
"Sizzle!"
The talisman paper unexpectedly burst into flas, announcing another failure for Chu Ning.
Chu Ning was montarily stunned, unable to react.
In the previous talisman-making attempt, he felt there was nothing wrong.
When the talismanic rune ford and emitted a red light, it actually represented success in talisman creation to so extent.
Why did it suddenly catch fire at the last mont?
Perplexed, Chu Ning took out a third sheet of talisman paper to begin crafting, and then a fourth sheet.
In both attempts, there was a slight fluctuation in magical power, causing the talisman paper to break before completion.
On the fifth sheet of talisman paper, Chu Ning finally drew the talismanic rune completely.
Then, to his surprise, it was almost identical to the second sheet.
In the next instant the talismanic rune ford and emitted a red glow, the talisman paper caught fire again.
When Chu Ning, refusing to believe in such failure, continued crafting, he stopped after using ten sheets of talisman paper.
Then, he furrowed his brows tightly.
Out of ten sheets, he fully outlined the talismanic rune on four.
This matched the initial four-tenths success rate he typically had with a new type of talisman, yet Chu Ning found it puzzling.
These four sheets, which Chu Ning believed would surely succeed, all without exception burned.
For the first ti since he started talisman making, Chu Ning encountered such a situation, leaving him sowhat dazed.
He then began testing the other two types of talismans, and without exception, the results were the sa.
However, when Chu Ning crafted the Vajra Talisman, a Basic Middle Grade Talisman, there were no problems, and he completed it with ease.
"Could it be that my magical power is unstable because I just reached the seventh layer of Qi Refining?"
Chu Ning ca up with a reason but, after pondering, felt it was unlikely.
After all, during the talisman-making process, Chu Ning hadn’t sensed any magical insufficiency.
At this mont, Chu Ning suddenly thought of a possibility, picking up a piece of talisman paper to examine it.
"Could it be the quality of the talisman paper?"
With this thought, he began using Divine Sense to sense it.
After only a brief mont, Chu Ning’s expression beca peculiar.
The reason most likely lay within the talisman paper.
The talisman papers he had made himself were previously given in great quantity to Mu Ling, and combined with his daily crafting post-learning, the supply was plentiful.
The talisman paper made from Ink Spirit Bamboo had long been exhausted.
The talisman paper in hand now was brought over by Lin Changqing from the Sect.
While initially feeling no significant difference when holding the talisman paper, upon sensing it carefully with Divine Sense,
he discovered so impurities still remained, not entirely clean.
Though the impurities were few, they didn’t affect carrying Basic Middle Grade Talismans, but for higher-level Basic Upper Grade Talismans, it was inadequate.
This kind of issue could never appear with his self-made talisman papers.
In theory, it shouldn’t appear on other Sect talisman papers either.
After all, the talismans used for Basic High, Middle, and Low Grade need this ordinary talisman paper, so the Sect requires uniform quality.
Clearly, the fact that this talisman paper ended up in my hands indicates there was so mishap along the way.
"I just don’t know if the problem was in the collection process or in the sales aspect."
Chu Ning sighed, sowhat speechless about the managent of Cyan Creek Sect.
Then he showed a peculiar expression, "Could this matter be related to Zhuang Yunde’s collection duties?"
Though he rembered that Zhuang Yunde, despite being sowhat greedy, always acted prudently.
Specifically how, Chu Ning had no way of ascertaining.
Since there was no way to attempt the creation of Basic Upper Grade Talismans, Chu Ning simply decided not to try.
The talisman papers he had on hand would be used to make Basic Lower Grade Talismans and Basic Middle Grade Talismans instead.
Fortunately, his Purple Crystal Bamboo would be ready for making talisman paper soon, so there was nothing to worry about.
And the fact that the Purple Crystal Bamboo could grow this fast, credits must go to Ling Xiaobai.
Upon seeing the growth of the Iron Stem Orchid, one day when he was at the Spirit Field, Chu Ning suddenly had an idea.
Since this Ling Xiaobai can hasten the maturity of the Iron Stem Orchid, causing it to bear Iron Blue Orchid Fruit, it should also be able to accelerate the growth of the Purple Crystal Bamboo, right?
However, the ten-acre field was a bit too much; the little guy might not be able to pee on all of it.
But that’s okay; it can be matured gradually.
So over two months, Ling Xiaobai managed to pee all over the Purple Crystal Bamboo in the Spirit Field.
Looking at it now, the process still needed to be sped up.
Determined to quickly mature the Purple Crystal Bamboo, Chu Ning went straight to the Spirit Field the next morning.
His Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique had been cultivated to the seventh layer of Qi Refining, so there was no need to quickly boost and break through using the Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill in a short ti.
If so, then using Iron Stem Orchid to cultivate in the Market wouldn’t have much of an adverse effect.
Applying Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill multiple tis on the Purple Crystal Bamboo to hasten its maturity would make it easier to create Basic Upper Grade Talismans.
Entering the Spirit Field, Chu Ning didn’t imdiately apply Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill but turned to Ling Xiaobai and said,
"Co on, Xiaobai, co over here, give these bamboos a pee."
Ling Xiaobai blinked its eyes pitifully upon hearing Chu Ning’s words.
Since the first ti it made a ss in the Spirit Field and was trapped by Chu Ning with a Beast Trapping Talisman,
It knew these were Chu Ning’s precious things, so it had been very cautious.
Later, once Chu Ning even asked it to pee on the bamboo, it did so gleefully.
But later on, Chu Ning started bringing it here every day.
Chu Ning even forced it to drink more water, albeit the water was filled with Spiritual Qi through the Ganlin Technique.
Still, Ling Xiaobai was quite displeased about being reduced to a manure-spreading tool.
It protested to Chu Ning many tis, but the protests were ineffective.
A few days ago, it finally managed to water all ten acres of bamboo bit by bit.
Unexpectedly, today it had to start all over again.
"Don’t be upset, these bamboos will soon be mature in a few days, and I’ll let you munch on so."
Seeing the lack of response from Ling Xiaobai, Chu Ning began to entice.
Sure enough, upon hearing these words, the little creature acted imdiately.
Running while peeing, it watered quite a few stalks.
Seeing this, Chu Ning nodded in satisfaction and then took out a Magnolia Fruit from his Storage Bag and tossed it over.
Ling Xiaobai caught it and happily started eating it.
Then Chu Ning began applying the Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill over and over in the Spirit Field.
It was both to improve the quality of the Purple Crystal Bamboo and to hasten its growth.
By noon, Chu Ning ditated in the Spirit Field for a while, restoring his Magical Power.
He was about to leave the Spirit Field and return to the Market with Ling Xiaobai.
"Hmm?"
Just then, as Chu Ning absentmindedly glanced at the hill where he used to practice the Cangmu Sword Technique,
He vaguely saw a few figures, which surprised him.
This part of the Cyan Creek Sect, belonging to the surrounding area with the highest level of Spiritual Qi, had other nearby Spirit Fields, which belonged to a nearby Sun Family Cultivation Clan.
However, the Sun Family’s Spirit Fields were on the northwest side.
So generally, no one would co to this northeast hill.
As such, Chu Ning used to co here daily to practice the Cangmu Sword Technique.
However, now that there were figures on the hill, it made him sowhat surprised.
But soon, Chu Ning shook his head again.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw several figures rushing down the hill, heading in his direction.
Chu Ning’s brows slightly moved, and intending to leave directly, he returned to the Spirit Field’s restriction.
Being alone outside, Chu Ning’s first thought was to avoid having too much contact with others to prevent any trouble.
Though he retreated inside the restriction, Chu Ning’s gaze was still directed outward.
The Spirit Field’s restriction could obscure the view, but it mostly blocked outside view to the inside.
Looking outward from the inside of the restriction posed no problem.
Soon, four figures quickly approached.
One was running in front, and three were chasing behind.
"Why is he here?"
What left Chu Ning astonished was that he recognized the person running at the front.
It was none other than that Old Man Sun he had t at Qinghe Square.
