Chapter 293 Small Teleportation Talisman
Chapter 293 Small Teleportation Talisman
Inside the formation, Han Jiuying stared coldly at the seemingly clever boy not far away, her face filled with sorrow.
"Hmph, you won't listen to reason, so what? I know you're the second senior sister of Mingling Peak, so what?"
"Your master is only at the initial stage of the Golden Core realm, while my two masters are both advanced cultivators at the late stage of the Golden Core realm!"
Feng Ping seemed uncomfortable under the girl's cold gaze, and felt a little uneasy. He couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
As she spoke, she took out a woman's thin gauze dress from her storage bag and used her magic to cover Han Jiuying, the light gauze covering her face and blocking her cold, chilling gaze.
Although shrouded in a light veil, Han Jiuying felt a brief sense of security, no longer having to look directly at Feng Ping.
The next moment, Feng Ping's seductive voice came from outside again: "Junior Sister Han, Junior Brother Hao Chi won't last much longer. His life or death is entirely in your hands. As long as you are willing to remove the poison from your body, your brother will..."
Suddenly, a loud boom came from all around, interrupting Feng Ping's words.
A lifelike child puppet, exuding an astonishing aura, broke through the encirclement and arrived here, mechanically turning its head as if surveying the situation.
Such a commotion not only startled Feng Ping and Han Jiuying, but also woke up Hao Chi, who had been unconscious for a long time.
“Master’s…puppet spirit child…”
Despite his weak breath, Hao Chi's eyes shone with intense brilliance.
"What! You're saying this is... Elder Zhang Meng's puppet? Could he have come here? That's impossible!"
"By the way, there is a defensive formation set up by Master here. It is indestructible. Once it is forcibly triggered, Master will sense the movement!"
Upon seeing the puppet spirit child, Feng Ping was horrified, his heart filled with instinctive horror.
But then he thought of the surrounding formation and felt a sense of comfort. He muttered the same words over and over again, as if that would make him feel more at ease.
The puppet spirit child's head spun eerily, making a series of 'crackling' sounds, and its small figure stopped at the edge of the formation.
‘Kaka! ’
As the jaw opened, an exquisite talisman radiating spiritual light slid out. The puppet spirit child gently patted the talisman with its small arm, activating it and attaching it to the array.
A dazzling burst of spiritual light rose up, and in no time, a hole large enough for one person to pass through appeared directly in front of them.
"Damn it, this puppet even has a 'barrier-breaking talisman'!"
Feng Ping was terrified and instinctively reached into his storage bag.
'Whoosh! '
But after the puppet spirit child passed through the formation, its figure instantly turned into a blur and arrived in front of Feng Ping in a flash.
"Kaka..."
……
Not long after, Hao Chi and Han Jiuying returned to Mingling Peak.
Inside the cave, Lin Changsheng removed the toxins from his disciple Han Jiuying and restored her magical power. However, he had lost some of his vitality on this trip, and his expression was slightly listless.
"Master, I know I was wrong."
Recalling how Hao Chi was saved by his master and is now wrapped up like a rice dumpling, Han Jiuying felt guilty.
"This calamity was caused by me, yet you two have suffered this undeserved misfortune. Once you have recovered from your injuries, I will bestow upon you some compensation. Let us not mention this matter again in the future."
Lin Changsheng's voice was majestic and ethereal.
“Master, your disciple is not very talented... but I also wish to learn the ‘Blood Burning Secret Technique’.”
Han Jiuying hesitated for a moment, but did not get up. Instead, she continued to plead.
Looking at the disciple kneeling on the ground, Lin Changsheng could guess some of her thoughts.
“Practicing the Blood Burning Secret Technique is quick and effective in the short term, but it is not worthwhile in the long run. However, if you insist on practicing it, I will not stop you.”
"However, although the 'Netherworld Poison Scripture' you are currently cultivating is incomplete, it is still rare in the cultivation world, and your future achievements may not be inferior to others."
"The reason you two suffered this calamity is ultimately related to your own character. If it were Lu Ming or He Dawei, perhaps they wouldn't have suffered so much."
Lin Changsheng said calmly.
In his view, the two disciples' misfortune was not only due to his involvement, but also largely related to their own actions.
Proud and arrogant.
They relied on their powerful sect background, the support of a Golden Core cultivator master, and their own possession of some treasures. They were unaware of the wickedness of human nature and lacked basic reverence for the cultivation world.
These are also common problems among disciples of major sects.
Without the experience of rising from humble beginnings, it is difficult to cultivate that cautious and meticulous personality.
This experience, in a way, can be considered a test for the two of them.
Lin Changsheng did not force himself to grow.
When it comes to instructing his disciples, he only points out the direction for each one, explaining the advantages and disadvantages, without interfering with each disciple's choices.
……
In the following period, some strange things happened at the Guigu Sect.
The elders of all the major lineages announced that they would go into seclusion.
Some important tasks for maintaining the sect and ensuring its daily operation were entrusted to fake Core Formation cultivators or Foundation Establishment disciples who were highly regarded.
Many disciples of the Guigu Sect marveled at this, remarking that it was a rare coincidence that the elders of each peak entered seclusion one after another.
Only the top Golden Core cultivators knew that all the peaks were doing this to complete the task assigned by True Lord Guigu.
Lin Changsheng also announced that he would be going into seclusion.
Two years later.
Inside the cave on the main peak of the Netherworld.
On this day, Lin Changsheng held a gilded talisman brush inlaid with precious jade in his hand. His whole body was filled with magical power, which was constantly compressed and refined, gathered at the tip of the brush, and integrated into the spiritual ink, which slowly flowed onto the third-level talisman paper.
Before long, two brand new spell symbols appeared on the table!
After a short period of rest and recuperation, feeling that his internal condition had improved, Lin Changsheng picked up the talisman on the table and examined it carefully.
Breaking the air talisman.
An advanced version of the 'Small Sky-Breaking Talisman', it allows for short-distance teleportation at an extremely high speed. Once activated, it can instantly teleport more than a thousand feet in a certain direction.
Small teleportation symbol.
It is a replica of the ancient fourth-tier spirit talisman 'Great Teleportation Talisman'. Once activated, it has the function of spatial teleportation or spatial teleportation.
Lin Changsheng examined the 'small teleportation talisman' among them and was very satisfied.
Compared to the genuine fourth-tier talisman 'Great Teleportation Talisman', this counterfeit third-tier 'Small Teleportation Talisman' is far less effective.
There are also many limitations, making it not very cost-effective.
Even so, this small teleportation talisman is still considered a high-quality item among third-tier magic talismans.
The reason is simple: once activated, this talisman can teleport a person a hundred miles away in a short time.
It's equivalent to a mobile, short-range teleportation array.
With such miraculous effects, every talisman master in the cultivation world who has mastered this refining method holds it in extremely high esteem.
No Golden Core cultivator could refuse having such a life-saving item in their possession.
Even some cultivators who have just entered the Nascent Soul stage have a certain need for this talisman.
"Although I don't know the true purpose of the Ghost Valley True Lord, with these two life-saving talismans in hand, I can finally feel at ease."
Lin Changsheng carefully put away the two magic talismans and breathed a sigh of relief.
I was unable to learn about Guigu Zhenjun's plans from Senior Brother Tan.
But Lin Changsheng had already guessed this in his heart.
There are only two points.
Firstly, the Ghost Valley True Lord cultivates a certain evil technique that requires the use of 'devouring' methods, and thus plots against Lin Changsheng and the other nine Golden Core cultivators.
Looking across the cultivation world, there are many cultivators who practice evil techniques, enjoying the thrill of rapid advancement in their cultivation and causing havoc in their communities.
In the cultivation world, similar news appears almost every now and then.
For example, evil cultivators who condense their qi can infiltrate secular countries and slaughter large numbers of mortals.
The Foundation Establishment evil cultivators were slaughtering Qi Condensation cultivators everywhere.
The heretical Golden Core cultivators specifically target Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The vicious Nascent Soul True Monarch has a penchant for devouring cultivators' golden cores...
Secondly, Guigu Zhenjun needs to deal with a powerful enemy, and requires nine Golden Core cultivators to activate an array to restrain him from the side.
Of the two conjectures, Lin Changsheng leans more towards the second one.
After all, with Guigu Zhenjun's strength and methods, he was able to force Ziyang Zhenjun, who was also a Nascent Soul cultivator, to self-destruct his physical body and leave his body when fighting two opponents at once.
If you really need nine Golden Core cultivators to help you practice, it would be incredibly easy.
There's no need to go to such lengths to establish a sect, cultivate spiritual veins, recruit Golden Core elders, and assign disciples.
Moreover, Lin Changsheng saw an inner arrogance in Guigu Zhenjun. Among the surrounding cultivators who were also at the Nascent Soul stage, he always had an inexplicable sense of confidence and superiority.
Lin Changsheng guessed that Guigu Zhenjun most likely came from a long-established and powerful sect.
……
Only after successfully crafting the talisman did Lin Changsheng begin to study the contents of the jade slip bestowed upon him by the Ghost Valley True Lord.
During this time, he also personally observed the first disciple competition at Mingling Peak.
This time, Hao Chi did not participate in the battle due to his serious injuries.
The remaining five registered disciples swept the top five spots in the competition.
The two disciples with the most significant progress, unsurprisingly, are the two with superior spiritual roots.
With exceptional talent and dedicated resources for nurturing him, he is far superior to ordinary disciples.
It is foreseeable that before long, a second-generation disciple at the Foundation Establishment stage will appear on Mingling Peak.
During this period, Shen Wenyao would visit from time to time, but she always had a legitimate reason.
They were either discussing the optimization of alchemy materials or seeking to purchase some low-level magic talismans for the disciples within the peak.
Not only is the quality low, but the quantity purchased each time is also small, so it's not worth much money.
Regardless of Lin Changsheng's identity as a Golden Core cultivator or the cooperative relationship between the two, Lin Changsheng generously erased the small amount of spirit stones.
Shen Wenyao readily accepted.
In return, they would give some spiritual tea and spiritual fruit produced on Qingluan Peak as a token of goodwill.
As their relationship grew closer, he also unlocked new skills for Shen Wenyao.
As a female cultivator from Linglong Pavilion, Shen Wenyao is not only beautiful and charming, but also proficient in music and painting, and can sing and dance.
Occasionally, when she makes a breakthrough in her skills, she will take the initiative to showcase her dance moves for Lin Changsheng to appreciate.
Once, under the quiet of the night.
Shen Wenyao, like a graceful fairy, danced lightly under the moonlight in a hazy, misty gown.
That night, the pure and charming Shen Wenyao almost confided her feelings to Lin Changsheng.
But deep down, she still felt a little regret and resentment.
This pure and stunningly beautiful fairy has always held herself in high esteem.
She thought she would accept Zhang Meng, but at the crucial moment she realized that if she had been willing to accept him from the beginning, even if she was forced to, she would never be able to let go of him.
She sighed inwardly; Zhang Meng was merely a suitable choice she made after weighing the pros and cons, out of desperation.
Ultimately, they still couldn't break through that thin layer of paper.
Lin Changsheng sipped the spirit wine, his expression calm, seemingly engrossed in the song and dance.
In fact, it is true.
A woman like Shen Wenyao, even when dancing casually, exudes elegance and grace, making her a beautiful sight to behold.
As for whether to take the relationship with this woman to the next level, there's no rush.
……
Over the course of two years, Lin Changsheng had basically deciphered the array within the jade slip bestowed by the Ghost Valley True Monarch.
Under normal circumstances, fourth-order formations are extremely mysterious, far beyond the comprehension of Golden Core cultivators.
As expected of the True Lord Guigu, who was proficient in the art of formations, he was able to break down a large formation into multiple parts.
In this way, the nine Golden Core cultivators only need to focus on their own area and master their own part.
"It seems that if we want to learn how to repair the teleportation array in the Great Wild Marsh and return to the cultivation world of Yue Kingdom, we will have to find a way from this True Lord Guigu."
Lin Changsheng pondered to himself.
After reporting my progress in mastering the formation to Senior Brother Tan, I have not yet received a reply.
Lin Changsheng then used his spare time to make further modifications to the puppet spirit child.
When the child was created, due to limitations in materials and techniques, it was somewhat lacking in both workmanship and quality.
In previous years, the resources handed over by Jin Mengqiao's caravan greatly enriched Lin Changsheng's mineral resource reserves, solving his immediate crisis.
More than half a year.
Lin Changsheng spared no expense in using spiritual materials to refine and reinforce some parts of the puppet spirit child, greatly increasing its power.
At the same time, several hidden boxes were added to the puppet spirit child, each containing a third-tier magic talisman.
Since we chose a light and agile approach, we may find it difficult to deal with larger monsters, magical artifacts, puppets, and other such methods.
Therefore, Lin Changsheng thought of using talismans to compensate for this method.
In any case, the central nervous system within the puppet spirit child has the ability to absorb spiritual energy, and it also has some spirit stones stored as backup power.
Not long after the puppet spirit child was improved, news finally came from the direction of Tiangui Peak.
……
Gunzhou Desert.
No one noticed that the elders of the various peaks of the Ghost Valley Sect had quietly left the sect's training grounds and gathered in a desert.
Led by Guigu Zhenjun, the group of ten traveled discreetly through the harsh desert.
"It seems that Guigu Zhenjun is indeed heading to a certain location, but it is rare for a Nascent Soul Zhenjun to travel in such a low-key manner with nine Golden Core Zhenren."
Lin Changsheng followed behind, silently muttering to himself.
A Nascent Soul True Monarch, nine Golden Core True Men, and even the chance to directly annihilate a Nascent Soul level force.
However, they deliberately chose to travel through remote areas and lay in wait, which shows that Guigu Zhenjun attached great importance to this mission.
At least in terms of importance, it far surpasses the Guigu School, which has now developed to a certain scale.
It should be noted that with all the elders being taken away at once, only pseudo-core cultivators are left to guard the sect.
If hostile forces were to arrive during this period, the achievements of the Ghost Valley Sect over the years would likely be reaped by others.
Therefore, before going out, Lin Changsheng specifically instructed Xunfengya and Chihuang centipede to stay in the vicinity of Mingling Peak and be responsible for guarding the area around the dojo.
"Master, it seems we've been wandering around here for many days..."
During a break, Senior Brother Tan came to the side of True Monarch Guigu and thoughtfully offered a reminder.
After flying and traveling for more than a month, the group had long noticed that the monotonous scenery around them kept repeating itself, clearly indicating that Guigu Zhenjun was leading them in circles.
Although they had doubts, no one dared to raise any questions.
"Ah."
Guigu Zhenjun remained calm, gave a soft hum, and neither agreed nor disagreed.
Seeing this, Senior Brother Tan did not ask any more questions, respectfully withdrew, and remained silent.
The group of Golden Core cultivators around him appeared nonchalant, but in reality, they were all secretly observing the True Lord's reaction.
Seeing this scene only deepened my confusion.
……
'call! '
On this day, as the group traveled through the desert, suddenly yellow sand filled the sky, a strong wind arose, and even condensed into tornadoes and hurricanes.
In the blink of an eye, dark clouds gathered again, and a fierce storm raged. In just half a day, the desert was flooded and submerged, turning into a murky lake.
Such strange and abnormal weather is a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence.
Half a day later, the rain stopped and the sky cleared.
In the distance, where the turbid yellow sand meets the horizon, a faint ripple of space appears, followed by the emergence of a mirage-like scene.
It was a gloomy, dilapidated scene filled with broken walls and ruins.
