Mortal: Return of apprenticeship? Bug at the beginning

Ever since he achieved the "Sword Heart Enlightenment", Jiang Tongyue's practice of other sword arts, magic and supernatural powers has been improving by leaps and bounds.

However, Jiang Tongyue did not spend too much time practicing these sword-related magic skills.

In this world, there are innumerable sword-related magic spells and supernatural powers, and it is impossible to practice them all in a short period of time.

Therefore, not long after cultivating the "Sword Heart Enlightenment", Jiang Tongyue began to comprehend various kinds of talismans.

If he could successfully draw a high-level talisman, with the system's one hundredfold return, he would be able to give Jiang Tongyue a talisman with the power of a Divine Transformation cultivator.

Although Jiang Tongyue's current strength can be said to be invincible in the human world, it is still better to be prepared for this thing.

What's more, the art of talismans is still very useful even after Jiang Tongyue ascends to the spiritual world.

With the blessing of the sixth-grade lotus platform, which increased his comprehension by dozens of times, Jiang Tongyue's understanding of the Tao made rapid progress.

In just a few years, Jiang Tongyue was able to easily draw various talismans below the high level.

Afterwards, Jiang Tongyue prepared to try to draw advanced talismans.

The Grandmaster's Complete Book of Talismans in Jiang Tongyue's hand did not contain any instructions on how to draw advanced talismans.

However, this naturally did not pose a problem for Jiang Tongyue. His cultivation had now reached the late Nascent Soul stage, and his comprehension of the art of talismans had also reached a very high level.

If he carefully drew an intermediate talisman, even if its grade was only intermediate, its power would be much stronger than an intermediate talisman.

What's more, the sword magic that Jiang Tongyue has learned over the years was not learned in vain.

Jiang Tongyue took out the Jinzhu pen and talisman paper made from monster skins, and began to try to draw a higher-level "Sanwang Sword Formation Talisman".

Even though he had the blessing of comprehension that was dozens of times greater than that of the sixth-grade lotus platform, the "Sanwang Sword Formation Talisman" drawn by Jiang Tongyue this time, although its power exceeded the original one by a lot, its grade had not reached the level of a high-level talisman.

However, Jiang Tongyue started to draw the second San Wang Sword Formation Talisman without any rest. This time, the San Wang Sword Formation Talisman successfully reached the level of a high-level talisman.

There was no fluctuation on Jiang Tongyue's face as he continued to draw the Sanwang Sword Formation Talisman, and the power of the talisman he drew became stronger and stronger.

After dozens of them, the power of the Sanwang Sword Formation Talisman drawn by Jiang Tongyue was equivalent to his full-strength attack.

Only then did Jiang Tongyue show a look of satisfaction on his face. His full-strength attack was equivalent to the full-strength attack of a cultivator in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, and its power was extremely terrifying.

Even if it is not returned, under the amazing power of this Sanwang Sword Formation Talisman, in the entire human world, perhaps only Xiang Zhili and his few Divine Transformation cultivators can withstand it.

And if a higher-grade talisman was returned through the system, even the Divine Transformation cultivators like Xiang Zhili would definitely die under the Sanwang Sword Formation Talisman.

Unfortunately, the "Sanwang Sword Formation Talisman" that he perfected had extremely high requirements for talisman paper, and at least the skin of an eighth-level golden monster was needed to be drawn successfully.

The skins of level eight golden monsters are extremely rare. Even in Jiang Tongyue's hands, there are not many.

However, Jiang Tongyue can collect them through the Xinghai Merchant Alliance. As long as the price offered is high enough, there are many people in Chaos Star Sea who are willing to find the skin of an eighth-level monster for him.

After the talisman paper made from the golden-attributed eighth-level monster skin in his hand was used up, Jiang Tongyue took out monster skins of other attributes and began to make talisman paper of other attributes.

Soon, Jiang Tongyue had hundreds of fire-attribute talisman papers in his hands, and then he began to draw advanced fire-attribute talismans.

Because Jiang Tongyue had a deep understanding of the way of the sword, he naturally chose to seal a fire-attributed sword power into this high-level talisman paper.

After only two failures, Jiang Tongyue successfully drew a talisman whose power was no weaker than that of a great monk in the late Nascent Soul stage.

"Yes! This sixth-grade lotus platform is really good! Even in the immortal cultivation novels, this sixth-grade lotus platform is equivalent to a treasure of the golden finger level!"

Jiang Tongyue was very satisfied with the returned sixth-grade lotus platform.

You know, this sixth-grade lotus platform can not only speed up his cultivation, but also increase his understanding.

This alone is stronger than the golden fingers in many novels about cultivating immortals.

Of course, what we are talking about here are those classical novels about cultivating immortals. After all, the older the novel is, the weaker the golden finger is.

It’s not like now, where each golden finger is more exaggerated than the other.

Wait, it seems my golden finger is also very exaggerated, so it’s okay.

Soon, the high-level fire-attribute talisman paper in Jiang Tongyue's hand was used up, but he had dozens of high-level talismans in his hands.

After using up all the talisman papers in his hand, Jiang Tongyue left the mansion where he had been in seclusion and came to the West City District.

After these years of cultivation, Xicheng District has returned to its previous appearance, and there are more cultivators in the city.

After that great war, Jiang Tongyue ordered the Xinghai Merchant Alliance and Miaoyin Sect to recruit immortal cultivators on a large scale.

After these years of development, the number of immortal cultivators in the Xinghai Merchant Alliance and Miaoyin Sect has increased dramatically.

Of course, most of these immortal cultivators are Qi-cultivating cultivators, and only a few with good spiritual roots have cultivated to the foundation-building stage.

When Jiang Tongyue found Master Kuxuan, Master Kuxuan was practicing in the Spirit Eye Spring in Xicheng District.

Jiang Tongyue has been in seclusion for more than ten years. With the help of top-level spirit stones, Master Kuxuan has successfully cultivated to the peak of the middle Nascent Soul stage and is only one step away from the late Nascent Soul stage.

“Ku Xuan, I need a large number of skins of monsters above level eight. Go and inform the Wanfa Sect and Qingyang Sect to collect the skins of monsters of level eight for me.”

Jiang Tongyue gave instructions to Master Kuxuan.

After submitting to Jiang Tongyue, these forces naturally had to serve him. However, the Nascent Soul cultivators in these forces did not have their spiritual consciousness imprinted on the List of Gods like Wan Sangu and others, so they could not be considered his direct descendants.

"Yes, young master, I will set out immediately to inform Fellow Daoist Wan and the others."

Upon hearing this, Master Ku Xuan bowed to Jiang Tongyue, then turned into a beam of light and left Xinghai Island.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Tongyue returned to the central area, but did not continue his retreat. Instead, he found Han Li who was practicing in retreat.

Not long after that great battle, Han Li went into seclusion to break through and successfully reached the Nascent Soul stage.

Over the past ten years, Han Li's cultivation has improved greatly with the help of the top-level spirit stones in his hands and the thousand-foot-long Spirit Eye Spring.

However, he has not yet broken through to the middle Nascent Soul stage.

Apart from Han Li, all of Jiang Tongyue's disciples, except Zi Ling, have broken through to the Nascent Soul stage in recent years.

Moreover, each of his disciples is very powerful, and none of them are lower than the late Nascent Soul stage. In terms of strength, the Xinghai Merchant Alliance is definitely the strongest in the human world.

Unless the forces of the entire Great Jin Dynasty unite to attack, no force can be a match for Jiang Tongyue's Xinghai Merchant Alliance. "Yes, Han Li, your cultivation has improved a lot. I think you are not far from breaking through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul."

Jiang Tongyue looked at Han Li with satisfaction.

"I have to thank Master for his support. If it weren't for the cultivation resources provided by Master, I wouldn't have been able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage so quickly."

Han Li also spoke to Jiang Tongyue with gratitude.

If he had not been lucky enough to become Jiang Tongyue's disciple, with his pseudo-spiritual roots, he would probably still be lingering in the Qi training stage.

It is simply impossible to become a Nascent Soul cultivator who is high above and aloof from the world.

Moreover, the strength of this Nascent Soul cultivator was extremely terrifying, not inferior to that of a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. It was simply astounding.

You know, there are strict hierarchies in the world of cultivating immortals. Even if one is only at a slightly higher realm, there is a huge difference in strength.

"Okay, take these ten San Wang Sword Formation Talismans. They were drawn by the master himself. Their power is equivalent to the full force attack of a Divine Transformation cultivator!"

Jiang Tongyue took out ten San Wang Sword Array Talismans from the storage bag and handed them to Han Li while speaking.

When Han Li heard this, he was immediately excited. With these ten Sanwang Sword Formation Talismans, he would be able to escape unscathed even if he encountered a Divine Transformation cultivator.

As for doubting the authenticity of this talisman, Han Li never had such an idea in his mind. Others may not know the strength of his master, but doesn't he know it?

Since his master said that this San Wang Sword Formation Talisman has the full force of a Divine Transformation cultivator, then it must have such power and there is no need to be suspicious!

"Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Han Li with ten high-level talismans of the San Wang Sword Formation. The current return multiple is 100 times. Please choose..."

"Choice 1: Return one thousand high-level talisman Sanwang sword array talismans!"

"Choice 2: Return ten pieces of the Sword Array Talismans of the Void Refining Stage!"

Jiang Tongyue looked at the second option on the system panel, his eyes instantly dilated and almost popped out.

Jiang Tongyue was very surprised that the Sanwang Sword Formation Talisman could be returned to him at the Refinement Void Stage level.

You know, even in the human world in ancient times, the most powerful cultivator was only a cultivator in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

With these ten sword formation talismans of the Sanwang Sword Formation at the Refinement Void Stage, Jiang Tongyue would be able to walk around with ease even in ancient times.

Although it was a little unexpected for Jiang Tongyue that the system was able to return the Sanwang Sword Formation Talisman of the Nascent Soul Stage, it was also reasonable.

After all, the power of the Sanwang Sword Formation Talisman that Jiang Tongyue had previously refined was equivalent to the full-strength attack of a Divine Transformation cultivator.

Only then, with the system's one hundred-fold return, was he lucky enough to return the talisman for the Void Refinement Stage.

Jiang Tongyue chose the second option without hesitation. Immediately, ten sword formation talismans of the Void Refinement Stage entered into Jiang Tongyue's storage space.

Afterwards, Jiang Tongyue looked at the introduction of the Sanwang Sword Formation Talisman, and a look of regret suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Although this Sanwang Sword Formation Talisman possesses the power of a cultivator in the Void Refinement Stage, it is only equivalent to a casual attack by a cultivator in the Void Refinement Stage.

If those powerful cultivators at the peak of the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm possessed some powerful defensive treasures, they would still be able to block the Sanwang Sword Formation Talisman.

However, Jiang Tongyue was also quite satisfied with the Sanwang Sword Formation Talisman.

"Han Li, you should practice well here first. I will go to see your junior sisters and urge them to practice well."

After Jiang Tongyue encouraged Han Li for a while, she turned and left, walking towards Mo Yuzhu's mansion.

After a while, Jiang Tongyue arrived at Mo Yuzhu's mansion and met Mo Yuzhu who was also practicing in seclusion.

"Yes, Yuzhu, you have successfully broken through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Your master is very satisfied. These ten San Wang sword array talismans were drawn by your master personally. Their power is comparable to the full force attack of a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage. You should take them for self-defense."

After seeing that Mo Yuzhu had successfully broken through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, Jiang Tongyue felt very satisfied but also felt a lot of pressure.

After all, as a master, his cultivation level is almost being caught up by his own disciple, which is really embarrassing.

However, this cannot be blamed on anyone else. Mo Yuzhu's aptitude is originally that of a cultivator with three spiritual roots. After using the Bu Tian Dan, his cultivation speed is no less than that of a cultivator with heavenly spiritual roots.

And with the top-level spirit stones and cultivation resources provided by Jiang Tongyue, plus the Spirit Eye Spring here, her disciple's cultivation speed has barely caught up with Jiang Tongyue.

Of course, this was before Jiang Tongyue obtained the Sixth-Rank Lotus Platform. Now that Jiang Tongyue possesses the Sixth-Rank Lotus Platform, his cultivation speed is simply not something that the Black Jade Pearl can catch up with.

However, Jiang Tongyue did not intend to simply break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage. He planned to wait until the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth in the human world recovered to a level suitable for a Spirit Transformation cultivator to practice and fight, and then break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage.

"Hehe! Master, I have tried my best to catch up with you!"

After hearing what Jiang Tongyue said, Mo Yuzhu giggled and felt extremely happy in her heart.

After all, only if she continued to make breakthroughs in her cultivation could she be able to help her master.

"However, Yuzhu, the improvement of cultivation is certainly important, but the understanding of magic and magical powers is equally indispensable."

Jiang Tongyue immediately started lecturing Mo Yuzhu.

Indeed, Mo Yuzhu's cultivation speed was incredibly fast, but his comprehension of magic spells and magical powers was not as good as Han Li's.

In previous battles, he was able to easily defeat his opponents by relying on his powerful numerical strength and various magic weapons in his hands.

But if Mo Yuzhu and Han Li were to fight, the winner would definitely be Han Li, not the Mo Yuzhu in front of him.

This is also the reason why Han Li has the ability to accelerate his cultivation to the third-grade lotus platform, but has not yet broken through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

"Yes, Master, I understand. From now on, I will concentrate on my cultivation and make up for my shortcomings."

Listening to Jiang Tongyue's teachings, Mo Yuzhu immediately stuck out her tongue and answered Jiang Tongyue seriously.

Seeing Mo Yuzhu's look, Jiang Tongyue nodded with satisfaction. Preaching always made him feel happy.

Afterwards, Jiang Tongyue left Mo Yuzhu's mansion and went to the mansions of his many disciples, giving each of them some high-level talismans that he had personally drawn for self-defense.

After doing all this, Jiang Tongyue returned to his mansion and continued to practice.
