Pick up the treasure bag and start cultivating immortals from the shrinking lamp.

Chapter 132 Soul-Capture Talisman
Xia Chen looked at the jade slip in his hand. It emitted a bright glow and felt as delicate as skin.

Written at the top is "Dongxuan Beast Taming Sutra".

As for the main text, it is nearly 800 words long.

He took a general look and found that the technique was not complete, this should be only the first half.

After all, the Crane Girl is just a D-level prop, and it is a bit too much to ask her to write the complete "Dongxuan Beast Taming Sutra".

"Soul-catching Talisman?"

After some research, Xia Chen discovered that one of the core secret techniques of the "Dongxuan Beast Taming Sutra" was the soul-capturing talisman.

This soul-capturing talisman is extremely mysterious. It is a means for the disciples of the Beast King Sect to recruit powerful monsters as mounts. After it is successfully drawn, it can be attached to the soul of the monster.

At that time, just a thought would cause the forbidden talisman to explode and destroy the soul of the monster.

But the drawing process is extremely cumbersome.

Ordinary talismans use animal blood or cinnabar as ink, but the soul-capturing talisman uses spiritual consciousness as ink.

Spiritual consciousness is, to a certain extent, the manifestation of the soul.

If a cultivator with a weak soul draws the soul-capturing talisman, at best his soul will be split, he will go crazy and become mentally ill.

In serious cases, the soul will be shattered and only a body will remain.

Therefore, although the Beast King Sect claimed to be a famous and upright sect at that time, many of its disciples had twisted personalities and were tyrannical, so it did not have a very good reputation in the Wu Kingdom's immortal cultivation world.

When a war broke out between the two major cultivation circles of Wu and Jin, the Beast King Sect was in danger, and other sects in Wu did not lend a helping hand.

In the end, he watched the Beast Emperor Sect being destroyed by the Tianyan Immortal Sect at that time.

"It seems that a Beast King Sect disciple can only refine a few soul-capturing forbidden talismans in his lifetime. In other words, the number of demon beasts each disciple possesses is limited!"

Xia Chen whispered.

According to the records in the "Dongxuan Beast Taming Sutra", when using the soul-capturing talisman to subdue a monster, it is best to choose a monster with a strong bloodline and potential.

Then the monster and its master grew up together.

Often, a foundation-building elder of the Beast King Sect will have two second-level demon beasts.

When fighting against the enemy, the monsters and their masters rushed forward together, and the cultivators at the same level had basically no power to resist.

The talisman paper used for soul-capturing prohibitions is also extraordinary, especially the second-level talisman paper, which needs to be refined with natural treasures such as blood soul jade, netherworld grass, soul-cleansing water, and ink soul bamboo.

Making talismans is also one of the hundred arts of cultivating immortals.

A talisman maker with advanced skills is not much worse than an alchemist or weapon refiner in terms of making money.

Although the raw materials for this talisman paper are rare, it can always be bought as long as you have spirit stones.

After gathering all the raw materials in Tianshui City, Xia Chen returned to the main hall of Mangdang Mountain.

Inside a furnace that was over ten feet tall, there was a blazing fire that was red and yellow in color.

He threw the raw materials in one by one, wrapped them with his magic power, and roasted them dry with the civil and military true fire...

Three hours later.

Thirteen pieces of talisman paper, five inches long and one finger wide, were finally refined.

The whole body is gray-green in color, as thin as a cicada's wing, and the surface is as smooth as jade, with misty clouds flowing inside.

And the whole thing seems light as if it is nothing, as if it is unreal.

Only this kind of talisman can carry divine thoughts.

The next step is to draw the specific spiritual patterns.

Xia Chen chanted a mantra to calm his mind.

After a while, my heart was at peace and all the negative emotions seemed to have dissipated.

Then, holding a talisman pen made of the feathers of a spiritual bird, he moved it like a dragon or a snake on the talisman paper he had just refined, with endless inspiration.

At the same time, divine thoughts as gentle as water were transmitted evenly and steadily from the palm through the tip of the pen.

The spiritual patterns of the second-level soul-capturing forbidden talisman are intricate and contain space restrictions. Although there are not many spiritual patterns, there are only 786, but they are all drawn with divine thoughts, so the difficulty can be imagined.

Half an hour later, the talisman pen outlined the last spiritual pattern. Looking at the flashing and quickly disappearing spiritual light of the entire talisman, Xia Chen felt relaxed and gasped heavily.

His face was pale and beads of sweat were beading down his forehead.

I just felt dizzy and extremely uncomfortable.

The soul is damaged, and drinking spiritual water and taking spiritual pills have little effect.

Xia Chen took out the superpower training box again and practiced for three hours. Only then did his complexion look better.

After the three-year period has expired, continuing to use the box for training will not enhance the power of the three super powers, nor will it increase the strength of the soul.

But it can repair the lost soul.

"Second-level upper grade! That's not easy!"

Looking at the forbidden talisman with a mysterious light floating up and down in front of him, Xia Chen smiled.

But with his ability, even though he has the super power training box, he can only draw two talismans of this kind at most within a year.

If there are too many, it will damage the soul and affect the foundation of the Tao.

"By the way, the clone should also be able to refine the soul-capturing forbidden talisman!"

Xia Chen's eyes lit up.

Whether it is a clay robot or a hair clone, they all possess part of the soul.

Before they were upgraded, he had been using super power training boxes to enhance their spirit strength, thereby extending their existence.

Then, he took out the Goku Cloning Hair Liquid and sprayed it on his head, then pulled out a hair and summoned a clone.

The strength of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining is only one step away from the Foundation Establishment Stage.

With the strength of the clone, it is naturally impossible to draw a second-level soul-capturing talisman.

So he asked him to draw a first-grade medium-quality talisman.

After half a stick of incense.

The clone burst out with white light and turned into a dry hair, floating down.

However, the talisman was drawn smoothly and the quality was very good.

"A first-level soul-capturing forbidden talisman can only be used against first-level monsters, and can only be used by inner and outer disciples of the sect at most!"

Xia Chen touched his chin.

He then summoned five more clones.

I plan to use a relay method to see if I can draw a complete second-level talisman.

The difficulty of the second-level soul-capturing talisman is more than ten times that of the first-level.

Xia Chen first pulled out five strands of hair, revealing five clones.

boom!
The first clone had just drawn thirty or fifty spiritual patterns when the soul in his body was completely consumed and turned into dry hair.

Then, the second clone held the talisman pen, connected seamlessly, and continued painting.

boom!
boom!
……

Xia Chen pulled out his hair one by one, and after pulling out nearly twenty strands, he finally completed drawing the entire talisman.

The talisman looked green and shiny, and was of mid-grade second-grade quality.

"It's good, but it's a bit hairy!"

Xia Chen smiled bitterly.

Now that I have successfully drawn the Soul-Capture Talisman, I naturally need to test its effects.

The first thing that came to his mind was the three-headed evil turtle that was sprayed with underground gas and forced to sink deep into the ground.

This is a third-level monster. If it can be subdued, the combat effectiveness of Mangdang Mountain will be greatly enhanced.

Even when facing a Jindan Zhenren, he still has some say.

Thinking of this, Xia Chen came to the valley.

Then he sprayed underground gas all over his body and slowly sank into the ground.

Soon, he saw stones of different sizes.

It’s that spiritual mine.

The shallow strata have all been mined.

There were some good quality mid-grade spirit stones among them, with a total value of 130,000 low-grade spirit stones.

There is still a part of spiritual ore buried deep in the ground. Even if there are thousands of incarnations, it is still very difficult to mine it successfully. It takes a lot of time and... hair!
In addition, with nearly two hundred disciples now stationed in Mangdang Mountain, large-scale mining is impossible and can easily be discovered.

When you reach the Golden Elixir realm and have enough strength, it will not be too late to mine openly.

As you dive deeper, the pressure increases and the area you can see becomes smaller and smaller.

Xia Chen sacrificed the green crystal bead, which was suspended above his head, emitting a rich green light.

In his right hand he held an ancient mirror with flowing cloud patterns printed on its surface. It emitted light and enveloped himself.

The last time he came down, he encountered a third-order Wu Earth Demon Snake. If he didn't have the ability to clone himself and teleport, he might not have been able to escape.

Soon, it dived to a depth of two thousand meters.

I saw that huge light and shadow again. It was as big as a hundred acres, like a diluted somersault cloud, with a hazy beauty.

It was that third-level earth spirit.

Before that, Xia Chen ate several pieces of translation konjac, ready to listen to the voice of the earth spirit.

But at the most critical moment, he was disturbed by the Wu Earth Demon Snake and had to give up in a hurry.

Now, there was no sign of the Wu Earth Demon Snake around, so Xia Chen took out a few pieces of translation konjac again.

Soon, there were many whispering sounds coming from all directions, which seemed to be babies crying or animals roaring...

These sounds are sometimes far away and sometimes near, and they don't seem real.

It seems to contain thousands of meanings, leaving you confused.

"It seems that we still need to upgrade!"

Xia Chen took out an eraser-sized translation konjac, and then took out five thousand low-grade spirit stones, offering them to the system, and upgraded this small piece of konjac to C-grade.

The taste is still the same taste.

It's just a little bit cold.

After eating.

The voice in my ears was different again.

He heard the shadows of the ancient battlefield, the sound of clanging swords, and the vast shouting, full of murderous aura.

This is not any language, but just a kind of divine thought, as if it has come through the ages and spread for billions of years, as if it has penetrated the endless space and reappeared in the world.

Xia Chen's face was extremely pale, and the soul residing in the purple palace between his eyebrows was almost shattered.

"What is this? Why is there the sound of fighting on an ancient battlefield?"

He was extremely shocked. It seemed that the origin of the earth spirit was even more mysterious than he had imagined.

I guess even if I use a mini computer, I probably won’t be able to analyze anything.

So he stopped worrying and looked everywhere for the trace of the three-headed evil turtle.

Sure enough, a passage was found three hundred meters away, which was about three meters wide and more than one meter high.

There are many dense claw marks on the earth wall.

The passage is deep and dark, obviously dug by some monster.

Xia Chen walked along the passage for a while, and sure enough, not far away, he found a ferocious beast. It had a strange shape, a turtle body, but three heads. The middle one was a turtle head, and the two heads on the left and right were a snake head and a fish head respectively. It exuded a strange aura.

The three evil turtles were using their limbs to dig up the soil around them.

Xia Chen had expected this.

After all, it is a third-level monster with terrifyingly tenacious vitality.

Turtles in particular are the best among them.

It is still unrealistic to bury it deep and suffocate it to death.

What's more, this place is not far from the third-level earth spirit, and the spiritual energy is inexhaustible, far better than that deep lake.

It’s a good place to practice.

However, this place is more than 2,000 meters deep underground, the earth elemental energy is rich, and the soil around is very hard. It is not an easy task for the three evil turtles to dig through.

Sensing something strange behind them, the three-headed evil turtle turned around with difficulty, and saw Xia Chen's figure from afar. They immediately became furious, and their three heads opened their mouths wide, spurting out black light as thick as arms.

Fortunately, Xia Chen swam far out of the passage.

Separated by dozens of meters of thick soil, the power of the three rays of light was greatly reduced.

Even if I get hit, there won't be any problem as I have the green crystal beads to protect me.

boom! boom! boom!
shining.

"Oh, your temper is still as hot as ever!"

Xia Chen also became angry.

The incarnation is manifested from the hair and scattered around it.

The three-headed evil turtle is actually a third-level monster, and its spirit is terribly powerful.

He fired the black light again, piercing through the incarnations around him one by one.

Before long, he was out of breath, and all his power was exhausted.

At this time, Xia Chen pulled out another hair, transformed himself into an incarnation holding the underground gas, sneaked around the three evil turtles, and sprayed for more than ten seconds.

The three-headed evil turtle once again seemed to be immersed in water and slowly sank.

Its body is too big and too heavy.

Even though he kept waving his limbs in an attempt to swim upwards, it was still of no avail.

"With the dosage just now, you will at least sink to a depth of ten thousand meters underground. There, the earth elemental force is extremely dense, the soil is as hard as iron, and it is a place without any spiritual energy. What awaits you is only suffocation to death or starvation!" Xia Chen shouted sternly.

He had just eaten so much translation konjac, so the three-headed evil turtle naturally knew what he meant by the words he said.

The three-headed evil turtle kept roaring at the beginning.

Xia Chen naturally understood what it meant. It was simply calling him despicable and shameless.

The language system of monsters is far inferior to that of humans, and they only use these few words over and over again.

But as it continued to sink.

The three-headed evil turtle also gradually became a little panicked.

It could feel that the concentration of spiritual energy around it was slowly decreasing.

The pressure all around was increasing.

It was pitch black all around, and the silence was eerie.

From afar, Xia Chen shouted, "If you don't surrender, you will truly fall into the endless darkness forever!"

After an unknown amount of time, a shrill voice came from below:

"Ouch~~"

Xia Chen naturally knew that this meant compromise.

So he asked the incarnation to slowly come to his side holding a second-grade, top-grade soul-capturing talisman.

The three-headed evil turtle was very psychic and naturally knew what was waiting for it.

But facing the endless darkness around him, he closed his eyes.

Soon, the incarnation injected the soul-capturing talisman into his body.

far away.

Xia Chen immediately realized that a deep connection had been established between himself and the three-headed evil turtle.

As long as the mind moves, both its soul and body will be destroyed.

The magic of the soul-capturing talisman does not end there.

It can subtly influence the mind of monsters and make them submit to their master wholeheartedly.

It’s just that the soul-capturing talisman drawn by Xia Chen is of too low a level and cannot achieve such a level.

After taming the three-headed evil turtle, the incarnation took out the bamboo dragonfly that he had prepared long ago and inserted it on the turtle shell.

Soon, the bamboo dragonfly slowly rose up with the three evil turtles.
