Guixu Immortal Kingdom

Chapter 64 Thirty-Six Talisman Books

I had previously assumed that the village had abundant water resources, but now it seems that the well the village left them is perhaps more precious than I imagined. Being able to provide it to them unconditionally is already a privilege reserved for honored guests. It's definitely not because the water resources aren't important or more than sufficient in the village.

"I don't know anything about the spring. I've never heard of it before. Chief Liang and his band of wanderers have been traveling around for a long time, so they don't often come across the Land of Fire. Information about water resources should be considered quite important."

Liu San shook his head and said.

He's not omnipotent or knows everything; this is the kind of situation he doesn't know.

"Springs should be classified by holes or openings. The number of holes or openings determines the amount of spring water that can be produced."

Ji Tianhao nodded to himself.

Water is the source of life. A person can survive for several days without food, but without water, they cannot last even three days. In hot weather, the time they can survive will be even shorter. The amount of water resources determines the scale of development and the population that a village or a force can accommodate, and these are all limited. Once this limit is exceeded, it brings enormous pressure.

Without sufficient water, even grains and vegetables may not be able to be grown. People consume water every day not only for drinking, but also for various other purposes, far exceeding normal estimates.

Although Su Yue can control and gather water, she is only one person. Even if she can gather water, how much can she condense? At most, she can only ensure the daily needs of a few people. If the quantity is too large, it will be difficult to sustain. This is a talent, and it has consumption; it is not inexhaustible.

“Hey, Lao Ji, you mentioned that the ruins we came across before, didn’t it have a well? Is there a spiritual spring in that well?”

A strange light flashed in Qi Lin's eyes, and he suddenly spoke.

"That's entirely possible. However, those areas are teeming with desert army ants. If you want to get there, you have to be prepared to face an attack by them. That's no joke. Everyone has seen the queen ant; she's not easy to deal with. I think those desert army ants are using that ruin and that well as bait to lure life closer before hunting it down. That bait isn't easy to take."

Liu San spoke with a look of apprehension. His personality was always one of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune. He would avoid dangerous places as much as possible. In the Void, survival was his top priority, and he had always been very tactful.

This is also because they saw that Ji Tianhao had Baxia Dragon Lord on his side, so they tried every means to get closer.

I'm optimistic about Ji Tianhao's future.

Having finally managed to grab onto a powerful figure, he didn't want to see that figure suddenly disappear.

"Hold on, hold on, Lao Ji. Let's not risk our lives for a spring that we don't even know if it exists. To be honest, I get the creeps out of those army ants too, and I don't want to see them again."

Qi Lin said, still feeling lingering fear.

Hu Youni and Su Yue were even more vulnerable; women have never been able to resist insects like these, and they would be terrified at the sight of them. The dense, dark scene was still flashing through their minds.

I'm afraid they might have nightmares tonight, so letting them go back is absolutely out of the question.

"We didn't say we were going now. Everyone should stay in Shihu Village for a while and work together to improve our cultivation as much as possible. We all need to cross the threshold of cultivation. I think Shihu Village may not be really safe. If we slack off, we will regret it in the future. Everything will betray you, but the power you cultivate bit by bit will not betray you."

Ji Tianhao said with a smile.

Knowing that everyone was terrified of the desert army ants and felt a lingering fear, no one wanted to go back and feed the ants, so they stopped talking about it.

"That's right. The village market will be opening soon. I'll go take a look then, and after that, I'll prepare to start cultivating."

Hu Youni said with a light laugh.

Those who have been tempered in the underworld believe that they should trust their own abilities more than others. This is a tenacity ingrained in their very being.

Soon, only Ji Tianhao remained in the tent.

"As for the spring, even with Su Yue around, we still need to find a way to get one. At least, acquiring it will solve part of the water resource problem. We should definitely try to get our hands on that wild spring if we have the chance. And those army ants are also a good thing; the life essence they refine is real."

Ji Tianhao glanced at the black hole inside his body and saw that the army ants that had been burned or swatted to death were secretly collected into the black hole during the chaos. Inside the black hole, they were continuously refined and transformed into life essences. It has to be said that most of these army ants were black iron-level life forms, and a lot of life essences could be extracted during the refining process. As long as they were black iron-level life forms...

A fist-sized object can be refined into a complete Life Spirit Pearl. Ten ordinary thumb-sized objects are needed to refine a complete Life Essence Spirit Pearl.

What is this? This is the cultivation resource in his eyes, the walking essence of life.

With their sheer numbers, desert army ants can easily accumulate a large amount of life essence, which they can then use as nourishment.

"Baxia's growth requires refinement, and so does my cultivation. If we don't plan carefully, we'll eventually run out of resources."

Ji Tianhao shook his head and waved his hand, and three orbs of creation light immediately appeared in front of him.

Because of an encounter with desert army ants, I had to flee in haste, and the Creation Orb that I was supposed to open today has not yet been activated.

"Open the Sphere of Creation to calm my nerves and see how my luck is today."

Last time he managed to get a python tent, Guixu coins, and a pot of spiritual spring water. His luck was pretty good; at least he was satisfied. The python tent would at least provide him with a very comfortable sleeping environment.

Without hesitation, he reached out and crushed a sphere of creation light.

brush! !

A book made of a special material has appeared in my hands. The title of the book is clearly displayed on the cover—The Book of Thirty-Six Talismans.

"It's a classic text. We're pretty lucky this time."

Ji Tianhao saw this but was not disappointed. Knowledge, to some extent, is a kind of good thing whose value is hard to define, especially the kind of knowledge that one does not yet possess, which is even more precious.

With just this one talisman book, it's safe to say that I've secured my minimum reward for today.

Immediately, he felt relieved and immediately activated the second and third Creation Orbs. The feeling when he crushed them was completely different.

"Huh, what's this?"

As the sphere of light shattered, two treasures appeared before us, accompanied by a burst of spiritual light.

The first thing that landed in front of me was a pair of high-quality silk stockings. Judging from the material, they were clearly not ordinary; they belonged to the level of magical artifacts and could not be torn by ordinary people.

Flowing Cloud Silk: Mid-grade Yellow Rank. Wearing it enhances a woman's charm, showcasing long, beautiful legs. It also boosts speed and provides some defensive capabilities. Furthermore, it can sculpt the legs, transforming them towards a more perfect form. It is a goal worthy of pursuit for all women.

"I don't need this 'Hi-silk' either, and as for giving it away, I don't want to be a pervert."

Ji Tianhao's lips twitched slightly. He immediately put away the Flowing Cloud Silk and sealed it in his spatial storage, planning to deal with it later.

His gaze then fell on the talisman and the last strange stone.

First, look at the talisman book.

The Thirty-Six Talisman Books: High-grade Yellow Rank. It contains thirty-six talismans. After studying and mastering them, one can become a talisman master, capable of drawing talismans, which possess special power.

Open it and take a look.

The first talisman appeared before me, bearing a complete talismanic image. Every rune was perfectly formed, outlining the most essential principles of heaven and earth. The interweaving of runes exuded a profound Daoist charm; not a single rune was superfluous. The mysteries of the talisman were fully revealed before my eyes.

Exorcism Talisman: Possesses the ability to ward off and harm various evil spirits and strange occurrences within the Black Iron rank. When affixed to a house, it ensures peace and tranquility, serves as a preventative warning, and is remarkably effective.

The message of this talisman appears very clearly on the first page of the talisman book, describing its effects in detail.
