Cultivation begins with harvest.

Inside the room, a reward orb was activated.

A message fell into my hand along with a thin, silver rope loop, with a heavy, metallic feel that would sting if I applied too much pressure.

【Wind Chasing and Demon-Binding Rope】: A mid-grade spiritual artifact of the binding type. It has the effect of depleting mana and suppressing evil spirits. According to the description, it can be used as swiftly as the wind, but it requires a lot of mana. I didn't have time to examine it closely, so I put it away first.

Even if it consumes a great deal of magical power, it shouldn't exceed the consumption of a high-grade spiritual artifact like the Ice Essence Bottle.

Only then did the light orb open again.

Opening them one by one is naturally to ensure that unexpected whims do not cause any negative changes.

What this ball of light obtained was a secret technique called "The Secret of Postnatal Yi Wood Xiao Xun Light and Light Bone Forging Technique (Form Chapter)". The information that followed was not only more obscure than "Zi Hua Qing Yin Chu Gao" and more profound than "Ding Qi Shu Shu Jie", but it was also longer than "Pan Xue Jing Volume 1".

If Chen Guang hadn't been at the second level of the Divine Forging Realm, he might not have been able to withstand it. He would have had a headache for a while, although he still felt a slight stinging sensation in the back of his head and a heavy, dizzy feeling from staying up all night.

This is something I haven't experienced in a long time.

After a cursory glance, it appears to be a body tempering secret technique that can specifically train the right little finger, enabling it to release the so-called "acquired Yi Wood Little Swift Light and Electricity." It's too cumbersome to pronounce, so Chen Guang will just call it the Swift Light and Electricity Finger. However, the thought of it being the little finger evokes a somewhat comical feeling about the flexible and skillful way it would be used.

"Although I only understood those few sentences explaining what the secret was..."

But that didn't stop Chen Guang from being genuinely moved. The long name was one reason, the content was so obscure and difficult to understand, and the lengthy text testified to the extraordinary nature of Xunguang's telescope.

As a secret to body tempering, understanding it is only the first step. What follows is inevitably suffering and the difficulty of collecting those rare and precious materials.

But a mid-grade spiritual weapon and a secret manual filled Chen Guang with anticipation for the third reward.

Continuing to open the light clusters, I obtained the Wind-Chasing Demon-Binding Rope and the Swift Light Finger again. Finally, on the seventh light cluster, I obtained the third reward: [Lightning Finger Secret Manual].

"It's actually the combat skills inherited from a talisman master!"

It's normal for those in the cultivation world to have skills within their lineage, but combat skills are extremely rare. Chen Guang was certain that none of the Nine Husbands lineages had combat skills. These are skills that can be used in combat scenarios, making them extremely precious.

Imagine what it would be like if a killer move suddenly popped out from an artist's skills.

Moreover, this skill is truly closely related to painters.

The existence of any combat technique is extremely rare, including this Electric Finger Talisman. With excitement, a cursory glance reveals two applications.

First, it is possible to draw talismans in the air and complete the drawing of a talisman in a very short time, and activate it. However, this does not include highly complex talismans. The control of the flow of magical power is already very demanding for the formation of a talisman. This kind of skill, which seeks speed and does not require external objects, is naturally not capable of drawing high-quality talismans.

Secondly, it can reduce the time and mana threshold for activating talismans, and the reduction is significant.

Not being a talisman master, Chen Guang dared not speculate too much about the application scenarios of the first technique. He had only heard that the transformation between magic and talismans was not entirely equivalent in terms of realm. Due to his lack of understanding of these various aspects, he dared not make any arbitrary conclusions.

But the second effect is incredibly useful. Talismans are already characterized by requiring little mana and activating quickly. It's almost unimaginable that they can activate even faster and with less mana. For cultivators who have the resources to purchase a large number of talismans, this would be an invaluable tool.

The idea of ​​bombarding with talismans is entirely feasible.

There have been cultivators in the cultivation world who have had such ideas, but there are many obstacles in actually putting them into practice.

In the conventional sense, talismans are a type of spell storage, and they are the most easily accessible. In the descriptions of talisman masters, they are called "spell prohibitions." However, for ordinary cultivators, talismans are just talismans, and they generally refer to spell prohibition talismans as their specific target. Other types, such as "Jia Ma," "Shang Xiao," "Pai Tu," "Jiang You Ling," and "Su Chi," are more difficult to come into contact with, and their existence is not well understood.

The various arts of cultivating immortality are all different, and some have achieved significant and complete development. Among these, the talisman master is a profession that is in no way inferior to alchemists and weapon refiners.

Talismans require mana as a catalyst and are only available as first-tier talismans. Low-grade talismans require one-third of the talisman's mana and must be injected slowly. If too much mana is injected at once, it will not activate the mana flow but will destroy it. The process of a talisman being activated and able to release spiritual power takes a long time. This is why low-grade talismans are cheap and completely incomparable to spells.

Mid-grade talismans are a bit better; even with only one-fifth of the mana, their activation is already fast enough.

When you get a high-grade talisman, you only need one-tenth of your mana, and from activation to release, your opponent generally only has one chance to react, which is very close to the immediacy of a spell.

There are also top-tier talismans, which mainly offer improvements in terms of less mana, preservation, and intermittent use, but the increase in trigger speed doesn't directly create a level difference.

The advantages of talismans lie in the ability to use spells that one has not yet mastered, or in the ability to use spells at a low cost.

It also depends on the purpose. For regular combat, quality is needed to achieve the minimum speed. For special situations, one would prefer talismans with great power or even surpassing the current level. Speed ​​and preservation effects can be sacrificed for the sake of special use. Preservation effects are only considered if one intends to hold a trump card for a long time.

After actually coming into contact with talismans, Chen Guang discovered that talismans are actually a "skillful structure". Using less to drive more is a very basic theory, but the bottom line is "less", not none. Some special skills can also break through one-tenth of the normal limit of magical power to activate talismans, but ultimately they are the minority.

The idea of ​​continuously casting talismans is wonderful, but in reality, it is difficult to achieve.

The Electric Finger technique allows talismans to be cast faster and more completely in sync with spells; it also consumes less mana. If mastered, it is more than enough to support a powerful combat system.

"But why point to a spot? My hands have already been given to the spirit plant master."

Before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, one can only take on one job at a time, limiting the number of professions one can pursue simultaneously.

The benefits that Lei Yu Jade gave Chen Guang were too great, far exceeding what he had given. Even if it was just this one reward, it would be completely worthwhile and impeccable. With such abundance, he was naturally satisfied. After opening the light and collecting all the rewards, he pushed open the door and left. If there was anything strange, he could figure it out on his own later.

Many spirit farmers had already approached the spirit field. The tiny white flowers in the damp ground gave off a "joyful" feeling, swaying back and forth. The petals seemed about to be carried away by the wind, but they stood firm in the wet dew. Surrounding Lei Yu Emerald was a patch of green ground and white flowers, which looked even clearer because of the slight dampness.

The entire spirit field consists only of the Azure Cloud Tree, which is spaced apart from each other but located in the center, and the Thunder Jade Emeralds climbing on it. At this moment, the crystal-clear green fruits are the focus of all cultivators' attention.

"Do you need help to get it?" Cao Fang asked, but didn't move her feet at all.

Chen Guang naturally shook his head and walked towards the spirit field amidst the envious gazes of the group of people, making a slight and light "crunch" sound as he stepped on the white flower spring grass.

This is naturally not a delicate spiritual herb, but there is no reason not to cherish it. This kick made many spiritual farmers' eyes turn red, and they immediately gripped the hem of their clothes tightly.

That damned Chen!

What exactly are you showing off?!

As the saying goes, seeing is believing. Hearing about someone's spiritual field containing many treasures can comfort you and prevent you from having too many other emotions. But once you actually see it, your heart is like the shadow cast by a candlelight on a stormy night, sometimes big, sometimes small, sometimes like a demon or monster, unpredictable and erratic.

Wan Longjing focused all his attention on the group of spirit farmers, fearing they might get too excited and wander into Chen Guang's spirit field.

As they drew closer, one of the spirit farmers suddenly closed his eyes and turned his head. When he opened his eyes again, he was already facing away, whispering, "Go!"

Some Lingnong responded immediately, some lingered reluctantly, turning back every three steps, and others gazed longingly at Chen Guang's figure.

Tianbian Caofang crossed her arms and watched this scene unfold with a cold smile, clearly mocking it.

For some reason, Wan Longjing was drawn away. He saw Dongfang Lieming standing alone, clear-headed, not far away, silently watching Chen Guang approach Lei Yu Emerald to pick fruit. Suddenly, a sense of weariness washed over him, and he felt that the myriad aspects of human life were still before his eyes.

What difference is there between immortals and mortals? Is this what they seek?

But he immediately shook off these sorrowful thoughts, and instead his determination was strengthened. For him, cultivation was about getting further away from this turbid world and its impurities, which meant he was not yet at a high enough level.

The white lotus emerges from the mud unsullied, and he felt that the muddy nature was simply because he was in the mud, so why complain?

Chen Guang had already picked the fruit and returned from the spirit field. Not a single jade-like embellishment remained on the green cloud tree. At the stem, there was a cross-section that did not look like a scar, but rather a natural withered yellow color, with a slightly curved withered tip.

Even Wan Longjing didn't realize that he wasn't the only one who had gained something here and now.
