Immortality: Starting with Plundering the Talents of Monsters

The first rays of dawn broke on the horizon, turning the sky a pale white.

sleepless nights.

As the last wisp of spiritual energy entered his body, the spirit stone in Xu Mo's hand turned to dust.

Feeling his spiritual energy fully restored, Xu Mo slowly opened his eyes.

With time running out, Xu Mo extended his divine sense to search for adult golden-scaled lizards.

After yesterday's battle with the Crimson Flame Mantis, the Golden Scale Lizards became more cautious and hid even deeper.

But this place has always been the habitat of the golden lizard for generations.

The idea of ​​protecting this place to the death is etched into their very bones.

This ensures that even when faced with an enemy they cannot defeat, the Golden Scale Lizard clan will not leave this place.

Xu Mo knew this, so he wasn't in a hurry and patiently searched one place after another.

Two hours later.

After Xu Mo's relentless search, he finally caught two adult golden lizards and killed them.

Successfully plundered the green-level [Golden Light] talent twice.

Furthermore, he also killed a juvenile golden lizard during this time.

[Sharp Gold Breath] has also been upgraded.

[Talents: Golden Light (Green, Tier 2, at maximum), Sharp Golden Breath (Green 0/10), Fire Scythe Blade (Green 0/10)]

[Golden Spiritual Root Purity +2]

[Spiritual Root: Gold 16/100]

The advancement of his two metal-attribute talents also improved the purity of Xu Mo's metal spiritual root.

A warm current rose from within my body, reaching the top of my head.

Xu Mo felt incredibly refreshed and exhaled a breath of dark, murky air.

The impurities that had accumulated in his body over the years dissipated, and the originally mixed Geng metal spiritual power became even purer.

Even the perception of the spiritual energy between heaven and earth has become stronger and clearer.

The purity of the gold spiritual root increased by two points at once, which filled Xu Mo with joy.

"You should know that spiritual root aptitude is extremely important for cultivators."

What is predetermined at birth is very difficult to change.

Xu Mo carefully sensed the changes brought about by the improvement in his spiritual root aptitude.

Meanwhile, his gaze lingered on the spiritual root section of the gilded jade talisman, and he was reluctant to look away.

His brows were furrowed with joy.

"If one wants to change one's spiritual root aptitude, one must possess rare and precious treasures."

  

But I, relying on the power of the jade talisman, easily improved my spiritual root aptitude... and even raised two points!

Xu Mo nodded with satisfaction.

Having successfully advanced his talent [Golden Light], he did not linger and immediately returned to Liuyun Market.

"The Golden Light Talisman is divided into Tier 1 Low Grade and Tier 1 Mid Grade. My Golden Light has advanced once again..."

It can already help me create a mid-grade first-tier Golden Light Talisman.

The various arts of cultivating immortality each possess their own mysterious and wondrous aspects.

However, all skills, if one wants to improve and advance, are linked to one's cultivation level.

If one's cultivation level is insufficient, the spiritual energy within the body will not be enough to support the completion of the technique.

Only those with extraordinary talent and profound knowledge of this subject can break this theorem.

The corresponding cultivation level for drawing a mid-grade first-level talisman is mid-stage Qi Refining.

Xu Mo was already satisfied with this.

All that's missing to create a mid-grade first-tier talisman is a set of mid-grade first-tier talisman-making tools.

Therefore, Xu Mo went straight to the Treasure Pavilion in Liuyun Market.

I wish to purchase a set of mid-grade Tier 1 talisman-making tools.

Inside the Treasure Pavilion.

Rows of counters were neatly arranged with talismans, magical artifacts, elixirs, and various materials.

Guided by the shopkeeper or clerk, the monks searched for and purchased what they needed.

Upon seeing Xu Mo enter, the manager of Zhenbaolou greeted him with a smile as always.

However, when facing Xu Mo, his enthusiasm and fawning were clearly even greater.

"Master Xu, what are your orders at my Treasure Pavilion? Please feel free to order me around."

Although Xu Mo had been cultivating for ten years, he had the advantage of starting his cultivation earlier.

She's only twenty-six now.

In the world of cultivation, he is extremely young.

However, he was already able to draw first-tier low-grade exquisite talismans.

For independent cultivators in Liuyun Market, this already represents a promising future.

It's worth befriending them, and even currying favor with them wouldn't be an exaggeration.

"I'm here to buy a mid-grade Tier 1 talisman pen and some mid-grade Tier 1 talisman-making materials."

"Please pick out a decent talisman brush for me first."

Xu Mo did not deliberately conceal his identity during this trip.

This is because he is about to join the Beast Taming Luo family, and he is no longer afraid that the news will reach the Zhou family.

"Alright, Master Xu, don't worry, I will definitely choose a high-quality first-grade mid-level talisman brush for you."

As the manager of Zhenbaolou spoke, he led Xu Mo forward.

He only stopped slowly when he arrived at the counter selling talisman pens.

"The first-tier mid-grade talisman pen is different from the first-tier low-grade talisman pen, and several categories have been derived from it."

The type of talisman affects its success rate.

The manager of Zhenbaolou pointed to the counter and began to explain in detail to Xu Mo.

"Master Xu, please take a look. This talisman pen is made from bird feathers. Birds and monsters mostly belong to the wind element."

Therefore, this talisman pen provides a certain bonus to the success rate of creating wind-attribute talismans.

Of course, it's also fine to use this talisman brush to create other first-tier mid-grade talismans with different attributes.

Instead of introducing the other types of talismans, the shopkeeper decided to get straight to the point.

"I wonder... what kind of attributes does Master Xu mainly draw for his talismans?"

I can directly recommend the appropriate type of talisman pen for you.

Xu Mo pondered for a moment, then replied:

"With my skill level, I am far from being able to draw a mid-grade first-tier talisman."

I just bought it in advance so I could study and figure it out properly.

Instead of directly answering what attribute of talisman he wanted to draw, he beat around the bush by pointing to a corner of the counter.

"You said that this wolf-hair talisman brush enhances the drawing of metal-attribute talismans."

May I ask, what kind of monster's fur is it made from?

Seeing that Xu Mo had shown interest, the shopkeeper smiled and introduced:

"Master Xu has a good eye. This wolf-hair talisman brush is made from the hair of a cold iron wolf, which has a metallic attribute."

Xu Mo's heart stirred, and he secretly memorized the name of this demonic beast, "Cold Iron Wolf".

"I'll take this wolf-hair brush."

Also, give me a stack of talismans and a bottle of metallic cinnabar, both of which must be mid-grade, first rank.

The shopkeeper readily agreed and quickly took out all the items and placed them on the counter.

"Everything you requested is here: a mid-grade first-tier wolf-hair talisman brush, priced at thirty low-grade spirit stones."

The remaining materials consist of five low-grade spirit stones.

Xu Mo paid with spirit stones and put everything into his storage bag.

"I wish you success in your studies and hope you will soon become a mid-grade first-tier talisman master."

The manager of the Treasure Pavilion released his divine sense to scan the area and confirmed that the number of spirit stones was correct. He immediately offered a flattering blessing.

Thanks.

After returning to Xianju in the shantytown, Xu Mo sat down at the talisman-making table.

He took out a wolf-hair brush and channeled a wisp of Geng metal spiritual energy into it.

Upon closer inspection, one could sense that spiritual energy flowed through the wolf-hair brush like a gentle stream, densely and meticulously transmitted without missing a single drop.

"Not bad, as expected of a talisman pen that enhances the success rate of creating metal-attribute talismans."

My Geng metal spiritual energy circulated so smoothly within it.

He placed all the talisman-making materials he had previously purchased on the table.

"Now, try to draw a mid-grade first-tier golden light talisman."
