Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 191 Blood Sacrifice Talisman
Blood Sacrifice Talisman!

Like the Jade Fire Magic Art, it is also a secret art of talismans that leans towards the evil magic of the demon sect.

This book records many evil and magical talismans, most of which require the flesh and blood, bones, and even the three souls and seven spirits of living beings as drawing materials.

Perhaps the power is slightly higher than that of ordinary talismans, or it has unique and strange effects, but judging from the drawing materials, the cost of drawing it is also not small.

The talismans recorded in the book are basically first-order, with a few methods of drawing second-order talismans sporadically.

Li Ye had limited interest in these things. With his current skills and wealth, he had already accumulated quite a few talismans and did not need to use such means to pursue power.

It's just something that is particularly useful and can attract his attention.

What really piqued his interest was the true core of this talisman technique, a secret method of increasing the power of the talisman through blood sacrifice.

As long as you are willing to make a blood sacrifice, you can increase the power of a talisman by half a level.

It is almost equivalent to upgrading a first-level talisman to a quasi-second-level level, similar to the Fiery Sun Fireball Talisman that Li Ye had drawn using the Fiery Sun Spirit Essence as a consumption.

Judging from its limitations, it seems that this secret technique can only upgrade talismans of the first or second level at most, and there is no mention of the third level.

The reason why Bihuozi had so many second-level forbidden-breaking talismans in his hands was that he used blood sacrifice to upgrade the first-level forbidden-breaking talismans.

This also explains why when he attacked Pingyang Mountain, he only used one forbidden talisman against the outer Blazing Fire Flowing Flame Formation, but directly used two when he went inside.

It was because the power of the quasi-second-level forbidden-breaking talisman was slightly weaker, and he learned from intelligence that the spiritual energy supply of the Blazing Fire and Flowing Flame Array was insufficient, while the formation guarding the top of the mountain was more powerful...so he made different distributions accordingly!

As for where he got these quasi-second-level forbidden-breaking talismans, there's no need to explain more just by looking at the white bone spiritual weapon in his hand...

"But the demands for this kind of blood sacrifice are a bit too great..."

After a little contemplation, Li Ye frowned.

He doesn't think he is a good person. Although he has good intentions, his behavior depends more on his mood.

Moreover, this secret art of blood sacrifice is not restricted to killing people. Sacrificing the blood of monsters can also satisfy the demand, and it will not cause anything that will anger God and people.

But looking at the needs, Li Ye couldn't help but feel that doing this just to increase the power of a talisman was really too troublesome.

In his opinion, the blood sacrifice required to upgrade a second-level talisman would cause a lot of bloodshed even if it was accomplished by killing monsters!

If you are not careful, it will easily attract the attention of powerful beings among the demon clan, and there is a risk of being hunted down by a third-level demon beast!
He then looked back and found a workaround.

"If one possesses a talisman constitution such as a Blood Talisman Spirit Body or a Heavenly Talisman Dharma Body, one can also use this secret method to consume essence, blood, and lifespan to draw high-level talismans and upgrade their talisman levels..."

"But if there really is such a gifted spirit being, it must be making a fortune drawing talismans. With a wave of its hand, talismans rain down on the enemy and it has no shortage of self-protection methods..."

"Unless they've fallen into the hands of some powerful force before they've fully developed, or unless they're truly in a dangerous situation and unable to escape, which cultivator would be so crazy as to do such a thing?"

Shaking his head, Li Ye suddenly felt that although this method was somewhat useful, it was somewhat useless to him.

But as his thoughts turned slightly, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hmm... if I really want to say it, it doesn't seem useless. Perhaps I can use this blood sacrifice to upgrade a few quasi-third-level forbidden-breaking talismans and try..."

“Combined with the battle formation and disciple token that match it in the Tiangong Sutra, maybe I can break the formation of the building island that is suspected to be the ruined secret pavilion and take a look inside!” After all, the formation of the ruined secret pavilion is mainly third-order. Although there is suspected to be a fourth-order part, the ban-breaking talisman may not be able to shake it a little!

Ever since he discovered that place, he has never been able to get close to it. Although Li Ye has regained his composure, he is no longer obsessed with the things in it.

But if there really is a chance, since I'm just sending a puppet to deal with it anyway, why not give it a try?

The forbidden-breaking talisman is a highly difficult talisman that can only be drawn after one's attainments in the art of talismans have been raised to the corresponding upper level.

Even if he had not improved his formation skills for self-protection, the experience points he saved would probably not be enough to improve his talisman skills to the upper third level.

In these four countries, the Jindan sect is already the most powerful, and it is impossible for such talismans to be leaked and purchased by people.

He never thought about this from the beginning to the end.

However, he did not expect that an attack by a demon cultivator would actually give him a glimpse of the possibility of using a third-order forbidden-breaking talisman to clear a way into the ruined secret pavilion and explore!

Although the success rate of the second-level forbidden-breaking talisman is still not high, it is not difficult to accumulate a few...

The only part that really requires some effort is the blood sacrifice!
This method is indeed much more practical considering the experience points required for improvement have skyrocketed after Baiyi has reached the third level.

Moreover, he only has the skills... The materials needed for the third-level forbidden-breaking talisman, the ones that Li Ye has collected from various building islands may not be suitable!
Now that he has started to plan it, looking at Li Ye again, he suddenly feels that this blood sacrifice talisman is really cost-effective!

"This Bihuozi delivered the goods to my door this time, not only offering himself as fertilizer, but also giving me such a generous gift... How polite!"

Li Ye smiled widely and couldn't help but look at the location of Dengyunfang Market.

He was not worried that someone would take over the ruined secret pavilion before him.

After years of exploration, he has a deep understanding of the dangers of the lava underground palace.

If he had not been exploring with puppets from the beginning to the end, I am afraid that several of his lives would have been buried in the lava.

The other monks were completely unprepared, and it was considered lucky if they could find some goodies and save their lives.

Given the danger level of that place, unless Jindan takes action personally, it is impossible for a group of foundation-building cultivators to break through the restrictions and enter without any preparation!

"Furthermore, given its location almost directly adjacent to the main body of the lava underground palace, there's a vast secret realm ahead. Even if a cultivator could truly reach it, why would they bother with this difficult task instead of exploring the main body of the underground palace?"

Li Ye looked at the tree leisurely, and leaned closer to the sky tree.
"All I need to do, besides hunting monsters and performing blood sacrifices to improve the talismans, is to wait..."

Wait until they encounter danger that is enough to wipe them out, and wait for the golden elixir to be attracted and get tricked badly.

When the entire lava underground palace becomes a forbidden area, people will no longer be so enthusiastic about it.

As time passed, everything here gradually became normal, and peace returned. The number of monks coming and going gradually decreased.

By then, he can take everything he has prepared and send his natal puppet into the lava palace again to try to discover the treasures inside!

No matter what, as someone whose life span just increased by two years out of thin air, as long as he is patient enough, time will always be on Li Ye's side!
