Chapter 397

"You want the Complete Explanation of Talismans?"

The young disciple of the Dharma Transmission Hall looked at Li Rui with some surprise.

"Yes."

Li Rui nodded.

Seeing that Li Rui was certain, the young disciple did not ask any more questions and led Li Rui to a giant stone that was a full person's height.

Then he asked Li Rui to take out his sect token and place it in the groove of the giant jade stone.

A flash of spiritual light.

The token was swiped successfully.

Li Rui looked at the number "31" that appeared on the jade stone, his eyes showing surprise.

Immortal cultivation combat power is not necessarily stronger than martial arts, but when it comes to varied methods, it leaves the martial path several streets behind.

He already had the Five Spirits Body Refining Formula and the God-Reaching Scripture.

He did not lack immortal arts.

What he lacked were other methods.

Learning some immortal gate methods would be of great benefit to him.

He had gone to the Elixir Hall early on and used the elixirs he had to exchange for 100 points of merit; now that 69 points were deducted at once, even with his rich family background, he felt a bit of a heartache.

No wonder that young disciple had to confirm.

The young disciple saw the token in Li Rui's hand, which had the character 'Yu' written on it and had never been seen before.

His eyes widened.

He remembered the rumors he had heard before.

"You are... the lord who came from the Yu Kingdom?"

Li Rui smiled slightly: "Little friend, you haven't given me my cultivation technique yet."

"Oh, oh."

The young disciple nodded hurriedly.

He trotted over and took the Complete Explanation of Talismans for Li Rui.

A hint of flattery appeared on his face, completely different from his previous attitude: "My lord, this is your item."

Li Rui took the Complete Explanation of Talismans.

He looked at the young disciple with a smile.

"I still prefer your unyielding appearance from just now."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Leaving only the young disciple standing there, stunned as if struck by lightning.

Returning to Changqing Peak.

Li Rui dove into his room.

The name Complete Explanation of Talismans sounds ordinary, but in reality, it is a method that many talisman masters dream of.

Simply because it was passed down from the immortal cultivation world.

It is far more complete than the talisman inheritance of this world; otherwise, it would not be worth 69 points of merit.

Li Rui began to read it carefully.

The talisman masters in the capital use their own true Qi, while the Complete Explanation of Talismans uses the spiritual energy of heaven and earth; the difference is huge.

In the Jianghu.

Talismans are a heterodox path, but in the immortal cultivation world, talismans are the orthodox path.

Powerful talisman cultivators are everywhere.

By comparison, it is the body cultivators who appear weak.

Li Rui did not have the old-fashioned idea of valuing one over the other; as long as it was useful, he would learn it.

Of course.

His method has a very small scope of application.

There are not many people like him in the world.

A dual genius of the martial path and the immortal path.

He possesses the ability of Great Dream Immortal Wandering; if he were to specialize in only one path, it would truly be a waste of heaven's gifts.

That is why he had the idea of practicing the six arts.

Alchemy, artifact refining, talismans, arrays, beast taming, and spiritual planting.

He has a huge Spring Breeze Hall behind him, so he does not lack money.

Among the six arts, talismans and arrays are the most suitable.

Foundation establishment for arrays takes too long and the results are slow, so Li Rui settled on talismans.

For Li Rui, who is already a Great Primordial, talismans naturally do not have much improvement in combat power, at most playing an auxiliary role.

But cultivation is not just about fighting.

Fighting is a very small part.

Talismans can bring a lot of convenience; for example, the Spirit-Containing Talisman and the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman recorded in the Complete Explanation of Talismans are of great use to Li Rui now.

This time.

Without realizing it, it was already late at night.

In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

On this day.

Li Rui sat cross-legged in the room, with several yellow talisman papers in front of him, on which were written dragon-flying and phoenix-dancing, obscure and profound patterns in cinnabar.

"Rise."

A soft shout.

A talisman moved without wind and floated in front of Li Rui.

It burned by itself in the air.

The talisman ash drifted, then turned into powder and disappeared completely.

Instantly.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the room increased significantly.

Li Rui's mouth lifted slightly.

Spirit-Containing Talisman, practiced successfully!

Considering he had no foundation in talismans at all, this speed was already very fast.

The Spirit-Containing Talisman is an extremely practical talisman.

It has only one function, which is to increase the concentration of spiritual energy in the surrounding area; of course, it is currently limited to the scope of the Qingwei Sect; once outside the Qingwei Sect, its effect is almost invisible.

It is also the first talisman that all talisman masters will learn.

Practicing the Spirit-Containing Talisman successfully also means that talismans are considered an entry-level skill.

Li Rui's heart was filled with joy.

Putting the drawn Spirit-Containing Talisman into his sleeve, he then looked inside himself.

Looking toward his dantian.

He saw that at this time, above the immortal court, the stone fetus under the peach tree had completely shed the stone skin on its right hand, revealing skin as delicate as a baby's, with spiritual brilliance faintly flowing.

Li Rui's mouth lifted slightly.

The progress of the Dao Fetus's transformation was extremely gratifying.

In at most a year, it would be able to complete the transformation completely.

By then, he would truly have stepped onto the peak of the Primordial Realm.

Putting away his mind.

He suddenly felt something in his heart.

Standing up, he walked toward the foot of the mountain.

Li Rui walked all the way and soon arrived at the mountain forest on the edge of the Qingwei Sect; this was already outside the sect-protecting array.

He had just appeared.

A small dragon, only a zhang long, appeared in front of him.

It was exactly the small white dragon that had changed its form.

"Little White."

A smile appeared on Li Rui's face.

At this time, the small white dragon had already undergone two transformations and had become a fourth-rank Primordial-level demon beast.

Its strength was much greater than before.

"Not bad, you've become sensible."

Li Rui praised it.

His praise was not for the small white dragon's increased realm, but for the fact that it finally knew how to be low-key.

If it were before.

When walking in the Ten Thousand Mountains, the small white dragon would not only not shrink its body, but might even become larger to show off its power.

The small white dragon curled its lips: "Big brother, you are just too cautious."

Although it said so, it was also influenced by Li Rui without realizing it and was no longer as arrogant as before.

Li Rui: "Little White, what is the situation in the Ten Thousand Mountains now?"

What is there the most of in the Ten Thousand Mountains?

Besides wild beasts, there are demon beasts.

Too many crises are lurking in the Ten Thousand Mountains, and he cannot ignore them completely.

It's not that he wants to quell the chaos, but he wants to sense the crisis in advance so as not to let himself fall into danger.

The small white dragon had lived in the Ten Thousand Mountains for a hundred years.

Although the old dragon had moved away, the small white dragon still had quite a few demon connections.

That was why he asked the small white dragon to drive the demon beasts to find information for him.

The small white dragon said: "It's a three-eyed ghost elephant; it seems that the subordinates of that big toad have also come recently."

Three-eyed ghost elephant?

Li Rui narrowed his eyes.

If his guess was correct, that three-eyed ghost elephant should be the great demon who escaped from the Purple Chai Jingong that night, one of the three pillars of the Purple Chai Jingong.

As for the big toad in the small white dragon's mouth, it must be the Heavenly Ox Zhu Ha, also one of the three pillars.

It is said that the last great demon of the three pillars, the Immortal Spirit Phoenix, has already been captured by Gu Changsheng and turned into a mount.

"Good, I know."

Li Rui nodded.

The small white dragon then looked curiously at the Qingwei Sect: "Big brother, how does the taste of immortal cultivation feel?"

Li Rui smiled: "Actually, it's all the same. You cultivate well, and I'll see if I can find an immortal art for demons to cultivate."

The small white dragon was overjoyed: "Big brother is still the best."

It had heard.

A new sect had risen in the Northern Plains, claiming to have no discrimination in teaching, with both humans and demons as disciples.

It was very tempted to hear that.

Li Rui: "Rest assured, you won't be left out."

Just as they were talking.

Li Rui suddenly turned his head to look not far away.

A burst of hurried footsteps.

The small white dragon immediately turned into a small snake and hid in the dead leaves.

Li Rui passed through layers of trees.

And saw a young Qingwei Sect disciple being chased by a demon beast; the demon beast's sharp claws were only inches away from the disciple.

Although they were already close to the Qingwei Sect's grand array, if nothing unexpected happened, the disciple would surely die.

Li Rui raised his eyebrows.

He recognized that the young disciple was the one who had helped him find the cultivation technique in the Dharma Transmission Hall that day.

In a flash of lightning.

Li Rui pinched his right thumb and middle finger together and flicked into the void.

The demon beast's head was instantly pierced by true Qi.

It fell to the ground powerlessly.

The young disciple looked at the demon beast's corpse in horror, swallowed hard, and his heart finally calmed down.

He also understood instantly that it must have been an elder of the sect who took action.

He hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed: "Many thanks to the senior for saving my life."

But Li Rui had already drifted away.

He did not like to meddle in other people's business, as he did not want to bring trouble upon himself.

But if he could save a life by the way, he would not be stingy.

Now that he was already at the Primordial Realm, and in a few years would be at Tongxuan, he should have the demeanor of a strong person.

As for letting the young disciple know that his savior was him.

There was even less need for that.

He had always acted according to his own heart; why should he need others to know?
