Chapter 750: Chapter 302: Promotion, Lover, Wrath of the Golden Core (Ten-Thousand-Word Combined Chapter)
Fu Changsheng tapped the storage bag, and with a flash of dawn light, a pill bottle containing the blood of a Tier Three Demon Beast landed steadily on the table. He cast a technique into it, releasing the restriction. The demon blood in the bottle appeared a deep, dark red, imbued with immense power, as wisps of blood mist rose from the brim, emanating a pungent smell.
He reviewed the detailed method of creating the Life Replacement Talisman in his mind once more.
Fu Changsheng took a deep breath and slowly picked up the Talisman Brush, lightly dipping the tip into the demon blood in the jade bowl.
The Talisman Brush seemed to come alive, its tip trembling slightly, greedily absorbing the talisman blood. Once the Talisman Brush was full, he lifted the brush, the talisman blood on its tip almost dripping, shimmering with an eerie light in the dim glow.
Buzz!
The Talisman Brush fell onto the blank talisman paper.
The whole talisman paper trembled slightly, as if unable to withstand the terrifying spiritual pressure within.
Fu Changsheng was extremely cautious.
He dared not be hasty.
With each stroke of the Talisman Brush, a dark red mark was left on the talisman paper, flickering with a faint glow as if it were burning on the paper.
Creating a Tier Three Spirit Talisman.
It not only consumed a large amount of mana but also the power of divine sense.
Every stroke infused a significant amount of his spiritual power, which flowed through the Talisman Brush into the talisman blood, merging and contending with the power within the demon blood. With each stroke, he could clearly feel his power of divine sense slowly ebbing away.
When drawing some complex runes, the power within the talisman blood became difficult to control.
"Boom!"
"Boom!!"
"Boom!!!"
The sound of exploding talismans occasionally echoed in the secret chamber.
One.
Two.
....
Until the tenth talisman.
He finally grasped some sense of control.
Yet when drawing complex runes, the talisman blood still seemed to break free from the brush, spreading wantonly on the talisman paper.
Veins bulged on Fu Changsheng’s forehead as he forcibly suppressed the tumult of the talisman blood, chanting ancient spells, sending waves of spiritual power from his mouth to subdue the talisman blood anew. However, each suppression felt like a heavy blow to his divine sense, making him dizzy.
As time went by.
The traces of talisman blood on the talisman paper grew more numerous, interweaving into a complex and mysterious pattern. The pattern seemed to have a life of its own, constantly flickering and absorbing the surrounding spiritual power.
The final stroke fell.
Buzz!
A brilliant red light surged from the talisman paper.
A terrifying spiritual pressure emanated, causing the entire stone chamber to tremble slightly.
Then.
All the red light vanished.
A complete Life Replacement Talisman, brimming with mysterious aura, was finished.
Joy flashed in Fu Changsheng’s eyes.
Although the Life Replacement Talisman was of low-grade quality, for someone at Foundation Establishment cultivation to successfully create a Tier Three Spirit Talisman was itself a great challenge:
"Continue!"
After more than two months.
In the secret chamber.
The sound of exploding talismans was heard once again.
But the frequency was significantly less than before.
Buzz!
The final stroke fell.
The second Life Replacement Talisman was completed:
"Medium-grade quality, not bad!"
Fu Changsheng was quite satisfied, intending to strike while the iron was hot, but found that the bottle of Tier Three Demon Blood was nearly exhausted. Looking at the hourglass beside him, he realized he had been in closed-door cultivation for another year, with the scheduled departure day with Fu Yongshang and others being tomorrow.
With a wave of his sleeve.
The Talisman Brush and other items on the table were instantly stored back into the storage bag.
At this moment.
The panel in his mind slightly trembled.
A line of text emerged:
[Talisman Maker: Tier Three Low-Grade (13/100)]
After a year, his skills had improved by ten points. Based on this rate, his success rate for making Tier Three low-grade talismans should just be a little over ten percent.
Among the Hundred Skills of Cultivation.
Progressing rapidly after reaching Tier Three was clearly unrealistic, requiring meticulous effort:
"However"
"If I break through to the Purple Mansion, the success rate should increase considerably when I wield the brush again."
Taking out the Communication Jade Talisman.
Fu Changsheng cast a technique into it:
"Yongshang, are the preparations for traveling to Jingzhou ready?"
The spirit light receded.
Soon after.
A message came through from the other side, as if it had been waiting for him:
"Reporting to the Patriarch, everything is ready for departure at any time."
Hearing this, Fu Changsheng wasted no time. With two Life Replacement Talismans in hand, his confidence increased.
He cast a technique onto the Cave Mansion Array.
Ripples passed through.
His body swayed.
Emerging from the secret chamber.
He saw that in the Patriarch’s Mansion, Yaoyao, Fu Yongdan, and Fu Yongshang, who had received the message, were already waiting.
This journey to Jingzhou.
Involving the exploration of cave mansions required the accompaniment of Yaoyao, an Array Master. Additionally, taking Fu Yongdan was to have her assist Meizhen in refining Foundation Establishment Pills. Currently, only Meizhen could refine them within the clan, and if she were to break through to the Purple Mansion and enter closed-door cultivation for decades, no one would be able to make Foundation Establishment Pills.
To avoid causing a stir and unnecessary trouble.
The plan to head to Jingzhou was conducted in secrecy, known only to the upper echelons of the clan.
Fu Changsheng hesitated for a moment, then said to Yaoyao:
"Yaoyao, leave the Four-winged Red Python behind."
There used to be Grandmaster Yu in the clan.
But since Grandmaster Yu had gone into seclusion, with no certainty of when he would return from the trip to Jingzhou, he felt uneasy.
"Hiss hiss"
The Four-winged Red Python, originally coiled around Yaoyao’s arm, was reluctant to part with its master, letting out a few cries. Under Yaoyao’s soothing, it obediently nodded.
Fu Changsheng asked a few more questions about the goods Fu Yongshang was preparing to transport to Jingzhou and, seeing all was in order, nodded slightly: "If that’s the case, let’s set off now."
