Mortal: Joining the Star Palace at the Start

Feng hope glanced down at Ji Qing, his heart filled with anticipation. He slowly raised his hand, and with a thought, a blue wind blade appeared in his hand with a "whoosh".

Feng hope was about to make a move, but suddenly he thought of something and immediately stopped.

"Forget it. If I kill him and it attracts the attention of the Star Palace, I can forget about going to Kui Xing Island."

Feng hope muttered to himself, then with a flick of his wrist, the blue wind blade in his hand vanished instantly.

"I'll spare your lives."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng hope's figure vanished without a trace, disappearing to who knows where.

.........

Deep within the cave, in the dark and gloomy silence, one could see a dense mass of snake demons entwined together in the very center of a small pool, looking utterly terrifying.

Even though Ji Qing and the others had prepared themselves mentally, they were still shocked by what they saw.

There are so many?

The rainbow grass has done a great job.

However, things aren't too bad; most of them are around level one in cultivation.

Ji Qing silently took a step back.

The task of slaying demons still requires professionals, so Ji Qing transmitted his voice to Li Yuan'an:

"Senior brother, what should we do next?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan'an thought for a moment and replied:

"Let's retreat. We can't kill all these monsters. We can discuss this further once we're out."

Li Yuan'an was well aware of his own strength.

With his late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, dealing with dozens of level-one demonic beasts was a piece of cake.

But if he were to face hundreds of demonic beasts, he could only apologize; each of them could drown him with a single spit.

What's the point of fighting?

Quickly grease your feet and get out of there!

"Phew, thankfully I put up a concealment talisman before coming in, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Li Yuan'an muttered to himself, then secretly transmitted his voice to Ji Qing and the others. After they nodded in agreement, they slowly left the place.

After Li Yuan'an and his group left, the group stood in the air above the island, riding their magical artifacts, seemingly talking about something.

"Senior brother, there are too many demonic beasts right now. Why not just use the Earth-Shaking Talisman to wipe them out?" Zhang Heng tore off the Concealing Talisman on his body and said.

"Earth-Shaking Talisman?"

Li Yuan'an rolled his eyes at Zhang Heng:

"Those Earth-Shaking Talismans are too expensive; who can afford them? This is absolutely out of the question."

The Earth-Shaking Talisman is of extremely high quality, and its power is equivalent to a strike from a Core Formation cultivator.

Once such talismans are used, they can shake the seas, split mountains, and destroy cities and walls.

How could he afford to use this kind of talisman? He's not Jin Kui's personal disciple.

"Tsk, this is a bit tricky."

As Li Yuan'an was speaking, Ji Qing suddenly coughed and said:

"Actually, I think using the Earthshaking Talisman isn't a bad idea either."

As Ji Qing spoke, he took out seven Earth-Shaking Talismans amidst the shocked gazes of his fellow disciples.

Li Yuan'an: ? ? ?

Zhang Heng: ? ? ?

Su Xiaoyue: ? ? ?

Chu Lingzhu: 凸^-^凸

Liu Li: ? ? ?

Tian Ji: ? ? ?

"Ahem, senior brothers and sisters, if you feel that seven Earth-Shaking Talismans are not enough, then just tell me."

After saying that, Ji Qing immediately took out a stack of items from his storage bag.

Good heavens, they're so extravagant! This is the first time I've ever been jealous of someone so rich.

Ji Qing gave each of them one:

"Senior brothers and sisters, do you still want it?"

"Just say you want it; I have plenty more in my storage bag."

Look at this, is this even human language?

Chu Lingzhu and the others secretly grumbled to themselves, but quickly came to their senses.

"Alright, alright, that's enough! How can you play with the Earth-Shaking Talisman like that?" Li Yuan'an said with a helpless laugh.

Logically speaking, killing these monsters should only require two cards.

Using seven cards is enough to kill this group of monsters three times.

So Li Yuan'an looked at the Earth-Shaking Talisman in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.

Originally, I wanted my junior brother to stay home and reap the rewards, but who would have thought that he would be the one who contributed the most in the end?

This left him speechless.

"Everyone, once you get the talismans, don't be stingy, just use them all."

"Today I'll see whether these beasts will die or live when all seven Earth-Shattering Talismans are unleashed!"

"Haha, alright, if that's the case, let's begin."

To be honest, in all my years, this is the first time I've ever used the Earthshaking Talisman.

Zhang Heng laughed loudly, then made a hand seal and began chanting incantations.

Seeing Zhang Heng's eagerness, Li Yuan'an chuckled and made his move as well.

And so, with all seven of them attacking at once, a loud "bang" was heard, followed by a huge explosion. Sand and stones flew everywhere, dust billowed, and a powerful shockwave rippled outwards in all directions.

After the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the nameless island was completely razed to the ground.

"The power of this Earth-Shaking Talisman is truly formidable," Zhang Heng said, swallowing hard, his face filled with shock.

"Let's go, junior brother, let's go down and check for a while."

"it is good."

Ji Qing nodded and flew down first.

…………

And so, after Ji Qing and the others finished slaying the demonic beasts and received their merits at the Star Palace, Ji Qing, who had nothing else to do, quickly devoted himself to making talismans.

Ji Qing filled his time completely, using the evenings for cultivation and the mornings for making talismans.

Even Elder Ji was stunned by Ji Qing's performance for a long time.

He thought to himself, "What era is this? Why are you so fussy? Are you trying to ascend to heaven?"

Of course, there is also the most important point.

He would set aside an hour to spend with Ling Yuling.

Ling Yuling is a shy girl, and Ji Qing can make her laugh with just a few words.

That's why their relationship warmed up very quickly.

Inside the cave, Ji Qing sat cross-legged on a white futon, his eyes emitting a faint golden light, holding the [Heavenly Golden Dao Technique] in his hands, seemingly engrossed in reading something.

After a long while, Ji Qing's golden eyes gradually dimmed and soon returned to their original state.

"I vow not to leave this place until I have achieved Foundation Establishment."

After speaking, Ji Qing formed a lotus mudra with his hands, closed his eyes slightly, and began to cultivate.

.........

Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

During these six months, with an ample supply of elixirs, Ji Qing successfully broke through to the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

To be honest, he didn't even need to use a Foundation Establishment Pill to achieve this breakthrough. Everything happened naturally, without any bottlenecks whatsoever.

After successfully breaking through his cultivation, Ji Qing did not rush out. Instead, he closed his eyes slightly, and with a thought, he went directly to the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.

At this moment, Lingtian Cave Heaven has become lush and green, filled with extraordinary vitality.

Ji Qing sensed that after his successful breakthrough, the land in this world increased in size, growing three feet in both length and width.

At the same time, the upper limit for planting a single medicinal herb was successfully broken.

Now, the Spirit Field Grotto can accommodate two spiritual herbs at the same time.

This is fantastic news!
