Shen Xuan gazed at the Mysterious Jade Talisman.
[Talent: Wishful Size (12/100)]
[Dao Rhy: 218]
Each plunder yielded about 200 Dao Rhy points, barely satisfactory.
After all, as Realm Cultivation and Spirit Root Talent improve, the demand for Essence Blood of higher grade increases.
The Mysterious Jade Talisman is not omnipotent.
It cannot defy the rules of the Heavenly Dao.
Shen Xuan secluded himself to cultivate diligently.
Every ten days, as soon as the Mysterious Jade Talisman’s cooldown ended, he would refine Deep Sea Octopus Essence Blood.
Three months later.
[Talent: Wishful Size Entry Level (2/100)]
[Dao Rhy: 2218]
[Spirit Root: Water 82/100]
After refining the entire content of Deep Sea Octopus Essence Blood, there was no change in Water Spirit Root Talent.
This also confird Shen Xuan’s speculation.
Tier Two Middle Grade Water Demon Essence Blood cannot enhance his Spirit Root Talent.
Fortunately, he gained two thousand Dao Rhy points.
"Let’s test the effect of the [Wishful Size] Talent Skill!"
Shen Xuan walked out of the Practice Room and ca to the Spirit Pool by Shuiyue Residence.
With a wave of his hand, he drove away the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse that ca to join in the fun.
"Enlarge!"
"Shrink!"
"Enlarge!"
"Shrink!"
Standing on the Spirit Grass Field, Shen Xuan repeatedly experinted.
This Talent Skill does not consu much Spiritual Power.
However, the effect is also not as strong as imagined.
The maximum increase when enlarging was only by twenty percent.
Shrinking was slightly more effective, allowing a shrinkage to seventy percent of the original body size.
Strength and defense changed slightly with the transformations.
It is far from Heaven and Earth, Hidden and Concealed abilities.
Shen Xuan stopped.
He concentrated on sensing the changes in his transford body.
"Enlarge!"
After enlarging his body by twenty percent, he swung his sword with full force, but the strength increase was less than half a percent.
Swinging the sword continuously, the Spiritual Power within surged forth.
"Pure power-type attacks do not suit using a sword."
"It’s a pity the Purple Gold True Water Seal isn’t refined yet."
Shen Xuan paused.
Checked the data on the Mysterious Jade Talisman.
[Talent: Wishful Size Entry Level (8/100)]
What made him glad was that this Talent Skill was relatively easy to advance.
"Let’s first train the skill to Minor Completion!"
At the entry level, a half-percent increase in strength is possible.
Minor Completion should enhance strength by thirty percent.
For physical attacks, it would be very powerful.
Moreover, this kind of physical skill doesn’t require much Spiritual Power, making it suitable for close combat.
Without constraints, it can unleash maximum lethality in various situations.
To any opponent, this is an exceedingly abnormal skill.
After all, in the Cultivation Realm, regardless of Daoist Sect or Demon Sect, aside from a few body refiners, seldom do cultivators deliberately forge their bodies.
In addition, [Wishful Size] does not require the whole body to change size simultaneously.
Shen Xuan tried it out.
It can also transform locally.
For example.
Apply [Wishful Size] to the right hand.
In an instant.
The right hand can expand by twenty percent.
The increased power can imdiately be added to the Bishui Sword held in the right hand.
The Bishui Sword emitted a sonic boom as it slashed through the air.
This pure power attack has unexpected, off-guard effects in combat.
If applied to a critical part.
A pillar reaching the sky!
Sufficient to laugh at the mortal dust.
Truly growing stronger with age!
Returning to the Practice Room.
Shen Xuan, without hesitation, allocated all accumulated Dao Rhy Points to [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman].
[Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman: Proficient (98/200)]
Looking at the value changes on the Mysterious Jade Talisman.
Shen Xuan shook his head.
This [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman] skill is very difficult to improve.
After three months of practice, it increased by only 5 points.
Over two thousand Dao Rhy Points only added 35 points.
The exchange ratio is roughly sixty to one.
This is during the proficient stage.
In the mastery stage, the Dao Rhy Point ratio needed for improvent will be even larger.
Not only that.
The effect afterward will beco smaller and smaller, until it completely fails.
Estimate it’s due to Realm Cultivation restrictions.
After all, cultivators’ various Technique Skills still need to adhere to the rules of the Heavenly Dao.
It’s impossible for a Foundation Establishnt Fourth Layer cultivator to perfect [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman].
The talisman-making success rate reaching near one hundred percent, and every talisman premium.
That’s unrealistic!
"Take it slow, there’s no rush in this matter."
Shen Xuan tried it out.
The success rate for [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman] was about twenty-five percent now.
Occasionally, with a flash of inspiration, he could craft a premium one too.
Shen Xuan still had three portions of Water Demon Essence Blood on hand.
Accumulated so Dao Rhy Points.
Together with the experience from usual talisman making.
Guessing it will take just a year to push [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman] skill to the mastery stage.
"A year and a half for mastering [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman] with a thirty percent success rate is quite good."
For Shen Xuan.
[Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman] is not only his main channel for earning Spirit Stones.
But also his trump card.
Three Divine Thunder Treasure Talismans, two nurtured for fifteen years, one for ten years, it’s ti to consider changing the type of Thunder Talisman.
Shen Xuan had eighteen pieces of Purple Essence Divine Wood branches.
Though they are fragnts, all the pieces have reached Tier Three.
Sufficient to carry the Thunder Spiritual Power of [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman].
Back then.
For creating [Breaking Evil Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman].
He demanded the Su Family’s Thunder Crystal Mother Bamboo, which was rely Tier Two Top Grade.
Shen Xuan planned to take out three of the best Purple Essence Divine Wood branches to craft and nurture [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman].
...
Spring cos and goes.
In early spring, the sun shines brightly.
Having trained diligently for so many days, Shen Xuan rewarded himself with a one-day holiday.
After the spaceship from dicine God Valley departed, he was free to move about.
However, the master advised him not to leave the sect in the near future.
Shen Xuan gladly accepted.
He seldom left Shuiyue Residence.
On this day, seeing the weather was good,
on a whim, he inford Su Xue’Er, and ventured alone to the Flowing Light Market within the sect.
First, he went to check on the cultivation shop he co-owned.
Lv Zhengying wasn’t there.
Two Qi Cultivation Realm employees warmly welcod the custors.
The shop was inside the sect.
The custors coming and going were all Cyan Cloud Sect disciples.
Security was very high.
Shen Xuan didn’t reveal his identity.
Under the enthusiastic promotion of one employee, he casually bought a bottle of Spirit Gathering Pills and a Thunder Talisman.
He inquired about the market price of Water Demon Essence Blood.
The employee was very eager and quoted a price 20% higher than the market rate.
Shen Xuan left the shop with the excuse of consideration.
Afterward, he strolled around other shops and stalls for a while.
There were many people in the Flowing Light Market.
But most were Qi Cultivation Realm disciples.
The spiritual objects for sale were mainly Tier One.
This left Shen Xuan sowhat disappointed.
Thinking about it, the sect only had three hundred Foundation Establishnt Realm disciples.
So precious Tier Two spiritual objects were bartered within small circles and did not circulate in the Flowing Light Market.
Tier Two demon beast essence blood was similarly scarce.
Cultivators who owned it preferred to trade for an equivalent amount of needed spiritual objects.
Shen Xuan checked the prices.
The conflict between the Cyan Cloud Sect and dicine God Valley had caused the prices of so spiritual elixirs to rise by ten to twenty percent.
The impact on Cyan Cloud Sect disciples was not significant.
Those disciples who frequently consud spiritual elixirs were not short of these Spirit Stones.
Those who couldn’t afford them still couldn’t.
The impact was more significant on the Golden Core Inheritors and direct disciples of True Masters.
The spiritual elixirs they consud were of good to excellent quality.
Relatively speaking, the price increase was sowhat more.
...
Returning to Little Gu Feng.
Shen Xuan went to check on the Giant Furnace Alchemy.
At this ti, it had completely ceased operation.
The reason was simple.
There were no more Spirit Gathering Pill materials.
The Giant Furnace Alchemy at the Alchemy Hall consud a hundred portions of Spirit Gathering Pill materials at a ti.
Equivalent to a hundred Tier Two Alchemists opening a furnace for alchemy.
The nearby Spirit Gathering Pill materials had long been exhausted.
These materials usually took two hundred years.
Even if the planting area was expanded now, it would take two hundred years before they could be used as dicine.
Previously, Little Gu Feng hadn’t developed Spirit Fields.
Because Master Gu Feng didn’t think much of them.
And her direct disciples were unwilling to make the effort.
Now things were different.
Over twenty Qi Cultivation Realm cultivators from the Yang Family lived in Little Gu Feng, temporarily not suitable for going out.
Not doing alchemy, idling would still be idling.
With Master Gu Feng’s approval, they developed Spirit Fields to plant spirit dicines.
The spiritual dicine inco that direct disciples didn’t value.
They were indeed quite envious.
Even if two hundred years later, they would be gone.
They could still enjoy so benefits to leave for their bloodline descendants.
Shen Xuan similarly didn’t value the spirit plant inco.
The waiting ti was too long.
Whether he would still be there two hundred years later was a question.
Even if he were, it wouldn’t necessarily be at the Cyan Cloud Sect.
By then, he would surely have condensed the Inner Core, no longer needing this bit of spirit plant inco.
However, he planned to set up a Thunder-Attracting Array on Little Gu Feng, to make the True Yang Celestial Thunder Pearl.
The power of the True Yang Celestial Thunder Pearl was less than the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman.
However, the making and use were much more convenient than the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman.
This matter required the support of the master.
Therefore, to return a favor, he planned to pay a bit of a price first.
...
Grotto Heaven Blessed Land.
"You want to plant the Purple Essence Divine Wood on Little Gu Feng?"
Gu Feng looked at this uniquely thinking disciple and couldn’t help but ask in surprise.
"Master, it’s not the disciple planting it. It’s Little Gu Feng planting the Purple Essence Divine Wood."
Shen Xuan said solemnly.
What a joke!
How would he have the ti to plant the Purple Essence Divine Wood?
He’s not a Spirit Plant Cultivator.
Such spiritual wood is not so easy to plant.
Even with a Tier Three Spirit Vein, it would be hard to survive without the managent of a high-tier spirit plant cultivator.
"The disciple feels that the place where Spiritual Qi gathers on Little Gu Feng can be developed into a high-tier Spirit Field. Planting only Tier Two spirit dicines seems wasteful."
Am I unaware of the waste!
I don’t know how to plant!
These words, Master Gu Feng only kept in her heart.
In front of the direct disciple, Master Gu Feng tactfully said, "The Purple Essence Divine Wood is very difficult to keep alive. Wait a mont..."
She suddenly rembered that so ti ago, Shen Xuan went to Luoxia Lake.
"Do you have Purple Essence Divine Wood seeds? Or is it the spirit branches he carries?"
"Spirit Branches."
Shen Xuan took out nine Jade Boxes, each containing a Purple Essence Divine Wood spirit branch.
Yes, what Shen Xuan took out were the eighteen Purple Essence Divine Wood spirit branches of relatively poor quality.
"Hiss!"
Master Gu Feng sucked in cold air.
"He gave you nine spirit branches? How generous!"
Shen Xuan respectfully said, "The River and Sea Map Master bestowed upon , the spiritual water refined by the disciple cost four hundred thousand Spirit Stones and was used up by him."
"These spirit branches are compensation from him to the disciple."
Master Gu Feng shook her head.
"No way. He wouldn’t lack that bit of spiritual water."
"Got it. The Divine Hidden Sea Technique you practice, reportedly an ancient water technique, has effects in healing and health maintenance."
Master Gu Feng quickly figured out the key to the issue.
"With nine spirit branches, given such quantity, it’s worth a try."
Master Gu Feng smiled and accepted the nine Jade Boxes that Shen Xuan offered.
"Speak, what do you need my help with?"
"I can’t deceive you, Master. The disciple wants to set up a Thunder-Attracting Array on the peak of Little Gu Feng to make the True Yang Celestial Thunder Pearl."
Master Gu Feng fell silent.
This disciple’s thoughts were whimsical and unfathomable.
The key is, he really can make it happen.
She had heard of the True Yang Celestial Thunder Pearl.
It was condensed by Thunder Cultivators using Thunder Power.
Using a Thunder-Attracting Array to make the True Yang Celestial Thunder Pearl.
She had never heard of it!
