Chapter 735: Nascent Soul Formation Ceremony, Second-Tier Talisman Making

"Father, below is the Fierce Wind Valley!"

On the flying boat, Xu Xiaoliu poked his head out to look at the place below, where black smoke rolled and fierce winds howled, and couldn't help but curl his lips.

How could a Core Formation sect have such a terrible living environment?

However, he could understand; the Fenghua Domain was dominated by Fenghua Palace, where women held higher status, so the situation for male and female cultivators throughout the Fenghua Domain was also very different.

Forces like the Fierce Wind Valley, which were dominated by male cultivators, only deserved to be assigned to such terrible spiritual vein lands.

Thinking about it this way, Fenghua Domain's willingness to let the Luo Tian Sect use Baili Qingchuan as a habitat was indeed very generous!

"Father, do we need to go down and announce?"

The young girl beside him asked excitedly, looking eager to move.

Xu Xiaoliu stroked his beard and smiled, "No need for you to go, I will go myself!"

This kind of showing his face in front of others was what he liked to do most; otherwise, why would Luo Chen have given him this errand?

It had been over a hundred years since he had experienced this!

The flying boat slowly descended, and two cultivators flew over from the distance.

"Who comes?"

Xu Xiaoliu stood with his hands behind his back and said with a chuckle: "The envoy of the Luo Tian Supreme Sect has arrived; why don't you take me to see your Valley Master?"

The two cultivators looked at each other.

Luo Tian Sect, they knew.

Supreme Sect, what that meant, they also knew.

But Luo Tian Supreme Sect?

A moment later.

In a magnificent great hall, Xu Xiaoliu faced a burly man whose aura was like a volcanic eruption; although his body trembled slightly, his expression did not show any cowardice.

"Could it be that you all don't know that our Luo Tian Sect's Supreme Elder has returned from overseas and has already cultivated to the Nascent Soul realm?"

"This time, our sect is holding a grand ceremony, and all those invited are Nascent Soul seniors. It is only because you are temporary neighbors that we gave you a chance to take a seat among the Core Formation sects of the Fenghua Domain."

"On the third day of next month, Valley Master, do not forget!"

As he spoke, Xu Xiaoliu threw out an invitation.

The burly man didn't quite believe it, but the moment he received the invitation, his expression couldn't help but change slightly.

The characters on it were like dragons and snakes, the brushwork was powerful, and at first glance, it looked like an array restriction!

There was even a wisp of magic power stained on it; after he opened the invitation, that wisp of magic power seemed to remember him and sank into the invitation.

In this way, even if others took the invitation, they couldn't impersonate him.

The burly man opened his mouth; integrating array restrictions into an invitation, with magic power flowing like drawing a talisman—this kind of method was not ordinary!

Had that Luo Tian Sect, which was nothing but a stray dog, really welcomed back a Nascent Soul True Person?

He swallowed his saliva, withdrew his fierce aura, and forced a smile.

"Xu... Fellow Daoist Xu, the journey is long, you must be tired. Why not rest a while in my Fierce Wind Valley?"

Arrogant at first, then respectful later!

Xu Xiaoliu smiled, "No need, I still have to notify other Core Formation sects in the Fenghua Domain, so I won't stay. The third day of next month..."

"Remember! Remember!"

The Valley Master of Fierce Wind Valley personally sent Xu Xiaoliu out.

After he left, the Valley Master couldn't help but show a bitter smile.

Fenghua Domain originally only had one Nascent Soul Supreme Sect, Fenghua Palace, but after a hundred years of beast ravages, more and more forces had retreated to the Fenghua Domain.

Previously, the Five Elements God Sect and Motian Cliff had stayed in the Fenghua Domain temporarily.

These two sects were not restless, always tentatively expanding their territory and drawing in vassals.

Now there was another Luo Tian Sect?

"I don't know what attitude Fenghua Palace has; we small sects really can't grasp the wind direction!"

"Zhou Shijie, has a Nascent Soul True Person really returned to the Luo Tian Sect?"

"Yes."

Fairy Fenghua narrowed her eyes, thinking of the two times she had met Luo Chen, and spoke softly.

"That person has profound cultivation, not inferior to mine!"

As soon as these words came out, the Second Palace Master of Fenghua Palace's expression changed slightly.

Zhou Shijie was a Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator, and in the vast Eastern Wasteland, she could be considered a formidable figure. It was one thing for that Supreme Elder of the Luo Tian Sect to achieve the Nascent Soul realm in just a hundred years, but how could he compare to her own Zhou Shijie?

But seeing her Zhou Shijie's appearance, it didn't seem like she was faking it.

While the Second Palace Master was suspicious, she suddenly thought of one thing.

"The Tongyou Pill formula we obtained from Qu Lingjun is said to be Danchenzi's; he wouldn't..."

"A mere second-tier pill formula; with that person's temper, he shouldn't use this to cause trouble." Fairy Fenghua shook her head, saying with worry: "What I worry about is his dissatisfaction!"

Dissatisfaction?

The Second Palace Master instantly understood her Zhou Shijie's meaning.

Baili Qingchuan was good, but it was really too small.

Previous Nascent Soul Supreme Sects controlled an entire domain, with tens of thousands of miles of territory!

Even if weak like the Yuding Sword Sect, it was the nominal master of the Yuding Domain, and on the surface, it controlled over ten thousand miles of territory.

Now times had changed; even if they didn't force a domain as a True Person's dojo, they should at least have a fourth-tier spiritual vein as a place for cultivation!

That Luo Chen's realm was advancing by leaps and bounds, so he must be even more desperate for this.

What if he set his sights on Fenghua Palace?

"If it were just one person, it would be fine; Zhou Shijie and I joining hands would not be afraid. But the Five Elements God Sect and Motian Cliff previously had the same thoughts."

Facing her Junior Sister's worry, Fairy Fenghua waved her hand.

"I don't worry about this point; Luo Chen cannot join hands with those two families. But it is a fact that there are no other fourth-tier spiritual veins in the Fenghua Domain."

The Second Palace Master worried: "Also, we must guard against him bewitching our vassals and coveting the Fenghua Domain's territory!"

Things like reversing the guest and host, or occupying the magpie's nest, were never lacking.

When the Second Palace Master said this, there was hidden resentment.

But this resentment was not directed at Luo Chen, but at the Holy Land above their heads!

It was the Holy Land Mingyuan Sect that let these refugees of the cultivation world stay in the Five Domains.

And they had stayed for many years; after a long time, those parasites would naturally develop some thoughts they shouldn't have.

She now hoped for a fight!

Fight quickly with the beasts, and drive all these people to the battlefield, so as not to stain her own garden.

A voice sounded outside the hall.

"Palace Master, someone has sent an invitation!"

"Who?"

"Luo Tian Sect!"

The First Palace Master, Fairy Fenghua, frowned, reached out, and the next moment saw an invitation fall into her hand.

After scanning it with her spiritual sense, she whispered:

"Holding a make-up Nascent Soul Formation Ceremony, inviting fellow Daoists to gather at Baili Qingchuan."

"What does this Luo Chen mean?"

Unlike what many thought, Luo Chen really didn't need to cultivate much recently.

In that year or so in the Central Plains, his realm had soared twice in succession.

He had soared directly from Nascent Soul first level to third level, and almost charged into the mid-stage of Nascent Soul in one breath.

Although his foundation for the second level of Nascent Soul was considered solid, having had decades of polishing in the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven.

But the suddenly soaring third-level realm appeared too floating.

Outsiders saw Luo Chen as sharp and imposing, which was partly due to his deliberate actions, but it was also because he couldn't control his own surging magic power.

Therefore, Luo Chen did not force cultivation in the short term.

Instead, he turned his attention to other aspects.

Taking elixirs to nourish the soul was one aspect; that second split soul, after years of nourishment, was already close to breaking through the Nascent Soul standard.

Practicing the sword scripture was another aspect; for him, if the 'Thousand Heavens Myriad Transformations Sword Scripture' could reach minor success, it would definitely be a major supplement to his combat methods. Especially since it could make it more convenient to drive the Yuan Tu Sword, so Luo Chen had been putting his energy into

practicing the sword scripture along the way.

Seven wisps of Red Heaven Qi, he had refined two wisps so far, and the progress was considered okay.

However, although this thing was powerful, it was a consumable!

Relying solely on himself to collect it from the Blue Void was too much of a waste of time.

Luo Chen still had to think about how to collect more Red Heaven Qi.

Now that he had returned to the Luo Tian Sect and saw the situation of the sect, Luo Chen had one more thing to do.

On the small stone terrace.

Luo Chen sat upright before the stone table, holding a Golden Lion Pen of magic tool level, focused on drawing patterns on a piece of white paper with special material.

He was very focused, as if nothing in the outside world could disturb him.

So much so that when Yao Mingyue helped the awakened President Sima Hui Niang out of the cave dwelling, he didn't notice.

After about half an incense stick of time, Luo Chen's hand holding the pen in mid-air finally stopped.

He let out a long breath and carefully picked up the paper with ink that hadn't dried yet.

The patterns on it were complex, the handwriting strange, and occasionally obscure magic power flowed.

"Husband, are you drawing talismans?"

Luo Chen turned around and saw the two women staring curiously at the talisman paper in his hand.

"Hui Niang, how do you feel?"

President Sima Hui Niang smiled, "I feel very good, it's just that my realm seems to have fallen somewhat for some reason."

It was normal for the realm to fall.

Luo Chen had absorbed a lot of magic power from her and sealed her Core, allowing her to exert at most the strength of a Core Formation mid-stage.

This was to prevent excessive consumption of magic power, which would cause the Spirit Rhinoceros Gu to devour Hui Niang's mind in return.

He took President Sima Hui Niang from Yao Mingyue and held her on his lap.

"With me here, it doesn't matter if your realm is a bit higher or lower."

"Hmm."

President Sima Hui Niang clearly didn't care much about these things anymore, but looked curiously at the paper on the table.

"What kind of talisman is this?"

"Blazing Sun Talisman!"

Luo Chen smiled slightly and casually activated the talisman paper.

Then he saw the talisman paper fluttering upwards, burning without wind, and finally...

Boom!

A blazing sun suddenly appeared, emitting a surging power of explosion and destruction.

But all of this was bound by Luo Chen, not affecting anything else.

It was as if a firework had just bloomed in the sky.

President Sima Hui Niang's eyes lit up, "It really is a second-tier Blazing Sun Talisman!"

"Evaluate its power?" Luo Chen said casually.

Hui Niang laughed: "It should be about the strength of a full-force blow from a Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivator, possessing a bit of the style you had when you used this technique to destroy powerful enemies back then."

Having said this, she paused, showing doubt.

"For you now, this kind of talisman shouldn't be of much use, right?"

Luo Chen chuckled and nodded.

"It is indeed useless to me, but it is of great use to the disciples of the sect."

How smart was President Sima Hui Niang; she reacted immediately.

"Are you planning to draw a large number of low-level talismans to bestow upon the disciples in the sect to enhance their strength?"

"Hmm, but not just low-level talismans; I will draw third-tier and fourth-tier ones as well."

"You can draw high-level talismans?"

"It shouldn't be difficult; give me some time, and combine it with corresponding materials."

When saying this, Luo Chen pointed to the residual materials on the table.

Like this first-tier cinnabar, second-tier talisman paper, and magic tool-level talisman pen, they could only refine second-tier high-grade talismans.

President Sima Hui Niang understood and looked at Yao Mingyue.

"Mingyue, does the sect have relevant storage?"

Yao Mingyue hadn't stepped down from the sect master position long ago, and still remembered the belongings of the Luo Tian Sect.

At this moment, she replied without hesitation: "There is one third-tier talisman pen, made from the soft hair of a Green-Maned Lion's neck, of excellent quality. Corresponding talisman ink and cinnabar are not available, but these things are easy to buy. As for talisman paper, it has been very popular in recent years, and our sect doesn't have much collection, and the quality is very low. However, in recent years, the method of making talisman paper from animal skin has become more and more popular; we can try to find the God Talisman Sect to buy animal skin talisman paper; they have finished talisman paper for sale!"

After a series of answers, she looked at Luo Chen with crystal clear eyes, extremely amazed.

Uncle-Master actually had such exquisite talisman-making skills?

This was truly unexpected.

Regarding this, Luo Chen just smiled and didn't explain.

Exquisite talisman-making skills?

He didn't have them yet!

But if he wanted to possess them, it wouldn't take a long time.

In the way of talisman making, he had never started, but he had come into contact with a lot!

Old Daoist Chen, a friend who set up a stall when he was young, was a talisman master, and a family he personally destroyed was also mainly focused on talisman making; he had also harvested many basic classics related to talisman making.

During those years drifting in the North Sea, he even met talisman masters like Lord Lushan, and was gifted a book 'Lushan Talisman Records'.

It could be said that he had some understanding of books, knowledge, and taboos related to talisman making.

The reason he didn't make talismans personally in his early years was just because he felt it was a waste of magic power and time, and compared to the benefits of elixirs, it was much worse.

But times have changed!

Now Luo Chen had a different view.

There were not many sect members under his command; it wasn't impossible to reward each of them with some magic treasures or magic tools.

But these sharp weapons often required a lot of time to refine, and because everyone's ability was different, it wasn't certain they could control multiple magic treasures or magic tools at the same time.

Sometimes being greedy for more was not necessarily good!

In contrast, a talisman drawn with Luo Chen's powerful spell was much more convenient.

Of course, this kind of over-protecting the disciples was not the main point.

The main purpose of Luo Chen starting to make talismans was to use this to polish his magic power and accelerate the stabilization of his realm!

There was no skill that required more control over magic power output than talisman making!

As long as he could control every bit of magic power well, it meant his realm was thoroughly stabilized, and various means could be safely unleashed without worrying about backlash.

And talisman making?

To be honest, it was really not difficult for Luo Chen.

He just didn't want to before, not that he couldn't.

He had profound talisman knowledge as a foundation, various spells proficient to the extreme as a basis, and through practicing arrays, he had also learned a good foundation in calligraphy and painting!

Besides that, his magic power was surging and his soul was powerful.

It could be said that all conditions were fully prepared.

The only thing that needed to be considered was probably the so-called "talent" in rumors.

But this thing was the least thing Luo Chen needed to worry about.

He had an attribute panel!

As long as he started, it was just constantly brushing proficiency, improving the level of skill, and then developing like a snowball.

Having returned to the Luo Tian Sect for only half a month, the talisman-making technique Luo Chen practiced in his spare time had actually reached the level of a second-tier talisman master!

Moreover, if it weren't for the limitation of materials, a third-tier talisman master wouldn't necessarily be his limit.

As long as there were matching materials, Luo Chen could try to draw higher-grade and more types of talismans.

Even!

Luo Chen thought even further!

"It is very difficult to improve the proficiency of fourth-tier spells; every time they are unleashed, one must go all out, but the power of fourth-tier spells is too grand, and there is no such spacious space for me to practice."

"If I can draw a complete fourth-tier spell into a talisman, then every time I draw, it is equivalent to one full-force unleashing."

"In this way, after hundreds of successes, I can not only harvest a batch of powerful talismans but also push a certain spell to the extreme!"

Thinking of the future prospects, even as calm as Luo Chen, he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.

The woman on his body seemed to be able to feel the man's inner surging, and couldn't help but reach out to rub his brow.

"Talisman making is good, but it is too"

"damaging to the spirit; husband needs to pay attention to his body."

"Hmm."

Luo Chen nodded.

In the way of talisman making, the restriction for low-level cultivators is magic power, but for high-level cultivators, besides magic power, there is also the restriction of the soul.

If one covets the power and value of talismans and makes a large number of them, it is easy to affect one's own cultivation.

Luo Chen would naturally not do that kind of abandoning the root to pursue the tip.

He picked up President Sima Hui Niang.

"Husband?"

"You should take the Hundred-Headed Heavenly Winter. During the Nascent Soul Formation Ceremony, both you and Caiyi must show up and accompany me."

The woman was stunned, then smiled beautifully.

She was also looking forward to that day.

And the arrival of that day, for these high-level cultivators who often went into seclusion for years, was just a snap of the fingers.

Shanhai Calendar 3611, September 3rd.

Night dew, autumn wind biting.

Baili Qingchuan, the sect gate opened wide.

Streaks of escape light gathered from all directions, straight into the Great Green Mountain.
