Mortal Cultivation to Immortality: I Have 108,000 Techniques

Chapter 100 The First Storm Appears, I Am the Number One Sword Demon of the Chaotic Star Sea!

After a short rest and recovery of his magical power, Zhang Yi continued making talismans.

With the experience of the first success, the second and third were immediately followed —

He quickly used up all thirty-odd materials, obtaining twenty-five talismans, all of which were of medium grade or higher.

Three of them were gleaming with golden light, with golden runes covering almost the entire sheet, and not a trace of blood could be seen.

According to the talisman-making manual provided by the Poisonous Scorpion Lady, these three meridian-opening talismans are considered top-grade.

Although the Meridian Opening Talisman is a secret talisman, different from ordinary Five Elements magic talismans, it also has commonalities.

Zhang Yi comprehended magical arts through the Xuanji Jade Disc and then created talismans, possessing extremely rich experience that far surpassed that of ordinary so-called masters.

With his talisman-making skills, it's not surprising that he could obtain twenty-five talismans from thirty sets of materials, three of which were of superior quality.

"Let me try out this superior-grade talisman and see how effective it is."

Zhang Yi's gaze fell on one of the talismans, and he gently picked it up, channeling his magic power.

The talisman shone with golden light, enveloping his body.

Not long after.

The golden light receded, leaving only a thin layer covering Zhang Yi's body.

The talisman was blank; all the spiritual runes had disappeared.

The blank talisman paper spontaneously combusted without fire, turning into ashes and scattering.

Zhang Yi felt something and tried to circulate his internal energy.

He only felt a loud "boom" in his ears.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged in like a tide, entering his body.

This cave dwelling is located on the forty-ninth floor of the sacred mountain in Tianxing City, and is naturally rich in spiritual energy.

The Meridian-Opening Talisman can gather spiritual energy, and its effects are very significant.

Zhang Yi's magical power flowed rapidly, constantly absorbing spiritual energy.

Such a massive influx of spiritual energy is enough to overwhelm most Foundation Establishment cultivators, causing them to explode and die!

However, under the influence of the Meridian Opening Talisman, Zhang Yi was able to easily absorb it into his body.

In addition, his spiritual sense is exceptionally strong, allowing him to precisely control every bit of spiritual energy. Furthermore, he has a profound understanding of cultivation techniques, enabling him to freely exert his power without fear of making mistakes.

Only in this way can the effects of the meridian-opening talisman be maximized!

Zhang Yi pondered for a moment, then secretly shook his head.

"That's not enough. This is far from my limit."

He pondered for a moment, then took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, poured out a Red Thorn Pill, and swallowed it.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth combined with the spiritual energy in the elixir and surged into his dantian!

With the help of elixirs, talismans, formations, and divine sense, among other things, it was promoted and advanced.

Zhang Yi once again experienced the feeling of rapid progress in his cultivation!

Three days later.

Zhang Yi reluctantly stopped circulating his cultivation technique only after the effects of the Meridian Opening Talisman wore off.

Zhang Yi focused his mind and examined his inner self, discovering that his cultivation had improved more than he had expected.

He was very satisfied with this.

At this rate of cultivation, he only needs five years to reach the Pseudo-Core stage!

The problem is...

Increasing cultivation speed inevitably requires consuming more pills.

After all, true essence cannot appear out of thin air.

Moreover, the effect of a high-grade meridian-opening talisman can only last for three days.

Unfortunately, the blood essence of level seven demonic beasts used for making talismans cannot be purchased in large quantities.

A level seven demonic beast is comparable to a late-stage Core Formation cultivator; it's almost impossible to find such a powerful demonic beast in the Inner Sea.

Even in the open sea, level seven monster materials are extremely rare.

High-quality meridian-opening talismans can also greatly help cultivators in the Core Formation stage.

It can even increase the chances of condensing a nascent soul.

The Poisonous Scorpion Lady went to great lengths to win over Mr. Yuanlong with the Meridian Opening Talisman.

Zhang Yi's desire to use it for daily cultivation was incredibly extravagant.

"We must find a way to improve it so that the effects of the meridian-opening talisman last longer, in order to reduce resource consumption."

Zhang Yi's mind raced, "Perhaps we can start with the materials for making talismans."

Some talismans can be reused as long as their power is not exhausted.

The power of a talisman is also closely related to the materials used in its production.

The seventh-grade demon beast essence blood and thousand-year-old Yin Guang tree bark used in the superior-grade meridian-opening talisman are already considered top-tier materials.

Before Zhang Yi advances to the Core Formation stage, it will be almost impossible to find someone better.

but.

"I'm not looking for higher-grade materials, but rather to find something more suitable!"

Zhang Yi smiled slightly, took out a high-grade meridian-opening talisman, and delivered it to the shop to wait for the Poison Scorpion Lady to pick it up.

He then grasped the mysterious jade disc and immersed himself in it.

In the months that followed.

In addition to his daily cultivation, Zhang Yi would set aside some time to try to improve his positional talisman technique.

After trying dozens of materials, he finally found the most suitable combination.

Use the spirit bone of a level seven demon beast to replace the bark of the Yin Guang tree, and inscribe spirit patterns with Huang Lin jade!

The talisman made using this method will not be weakened in effect and can be used for a long time.

Rather than a talisman, it's more like a magical artifact to aid in cultivation!

Zhang Yi had some knowledge of weapon crafting, so there were no surprises in refining the materials.

He quickly remade a meridian-opening talisman using the improved talisman-making technique.

Just as he was about to continue his seclusion to experience the effects of the new talisman...

However, Chen Qiaoqian brought some bad news.

Inside the cave.

Chen Qiaoqian looked anxious and asked worriedly, "Senior brother, this person has come to challenge us several times. What should we do?"

Zhang Yi released the communication talisman in his hand, letting the talisman turn to ashes.

His eyes flickered uncertainly, and he remained silent, lost in thought.

The events were not complicated.

A disciple of the "Fragrant Butterfly Society" had been in love with Fairy Wang for many years, but Fairy Wang remained indifferent to him.

Upon hearing that Fairy Wang had visited the Shadow Sect Talisman Hall, this man harbored a grudge against "Master Jia Ming" of the hall and repeatedly came to cause trouble.

"A clown blinded by beauty, not worth mentioning."

Zhang Yi said calmly, "I suspect there's someone else behind this, who might be testing our origins."

The Fragrant Butterfly Society is a small business association with only three Foundation Establishment cultivators, far inferior to the Myriad Sounds Sect and the Poison Dragon Society, which have Core Formation cultivators in charge.

How could such a small force dare to offend a master of talismanic arts?

Especially within Tianxing City, due to the rules of the Star Palace, cultivators are not allowed to engage in private duels.

The identity of a talisman master carries great weight.

Chen Qiaoqian's expression tightened, and she asked, "Senior brother is right, that's indeed possible."

The Shadow Sect Talisman Hall's business is booming. The reason it has remained unscathed so far is because Zhang Yi has adopted the name of Talisman Master Jia Ming.

Because small, ordinary forces simply don't have enough resources to cultivate masters of talismanic arts.

Therefore, Shadow Sect was regarded as a reclusive major sect.

In reality, the entire Shadow Sect only has three people: Zhang Yi, Chen Qiaoqian, and Xin Ruyin.

The astonishing benefits brought by talismans will inevitably attract covetous eyes sooner or later.

The Shadow Sect must demonstrate sufficient strength to dispel the malice of those with ulterior motives.

Zhang Yi had anticipated this: "The shop has been open for almost six years, and finally someone couldn't sit still anymore."

"What are your plans, senior brother?"

Chen Qiaoqian asked, "Should we temporarily close the shop and wait out this storm?"

"There's no need for that!"

Zhang Yi sneered, "If we target the Fragrant Butterfly Society, things should be peaceful for a while longer!"

Junior sister, first, in the name of the Shadow Sect, go to the market and buy a top-grade magic weapon, and you must let the Fragrant Butterfly Society know about it.

Then—”

A month later.

Near Tianxing City.

A bamboo raft-shaped magical artifact is flying towards Tianxing City.

There were more than ten cultivators on the bamboo raft, all dressed in pink robes with butterflies embroidered in gold thread on their sleeves.

These are the clothes from the Fragrant Butterfly Guild, a famous merchant guild in Tianxing City.

At the very front of the bamboo raft, two Foundation Establishment cultivators sat facing each other.

One of them said with a smile, "After this deal is completed, the disciples' cultivation expenses for the next few years will be covered."

The other person nodded in agreement.

At that moment, a sudden change occurred!

A crimson sword beam shot out from beneath the sea, tearing through the air, accompanied by a surging tide of bloody stench.

"not good!"

The two Foundation Establishment cultivators were horrified and quickly jumped off the bamboo raft.

With a loud "boom".

The spiritual light on the bamboo raft was shattered by a single blow, and the raft broke in two.

Several disciples were unlucky enough to be caught in the sword's edge and were instantly decapitated.

"Who dares to be so bold?"

"Our Fragrant Butterfly Society is—"

The two Foundation Establishment cultivators were filled with shock and anger. They each took out their magical artifacts and spread their divine senses to search for the enemy.

The seawater below parted.

A young man in his thirties with a thin face and bright, piercing eyes appeared.

"You're all from the Fragrant Butterfly Society? Then you can all die!"

The young man exuded a murderous aura, his words dripping with killing intent, "I'll remember that!"

I am Xu Changqing, a disciple of the Shadow Sect's Enforcement Hall and the number one sword demon of the Chaotic Star Sea!

He activated his magic seal, and the blood-red sword light flew over and slashed down again.

The sword light was extremely powerful, and the two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Fragrant Butterfly Society were quickly put at a disadvantage and could only barely defend themselves.

One of them shouted, "We have no grudge against you!"

The young man's expression was icy as he laughed loudly, "Didn't you provoke us first by challenging our senior brother Jia Ming?"

"Brother Jia is not skilled in combat, so I, Xu, will take care of it and send you all on your way!"
