Immortality: Starting with Plundering the Talents of Monsters

"The Kunyuan Zaiwu Technique?"

After seeing the book of techniques, Xu Mo had some guesses about it, but did not immediately look at it.

"We shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's go back and take stock of what we've gained today."

After the "Kun Yuan Zai Wu Jue" was also put into his storage bag, Xu Mo left Steward Sun's house and cast a rain-avoidance spell.

The bright, clear moon shone through the dark clouds, its silvery light piercing down.

Large raindrops rippled only above Xu Mo's head before sliding to the ground.

Now, although there was no one around, he was carrying a large number of spirit stones and spells that he had just stolen, so he couldn't help but feel that he was guilty of possessing a treasure.

Therefore, Xu Mo dared not delay in the slightest.

Even though he was only a short distance from his house, he took out a lightness talisman and activated it to speed up.

At the same time, the range of divine sense coverage is expanded to the maximum, and one is always on guard against any trouble that may arise along the way.

In just a few breaths, he was back in his house.

  

"Hmph... In the cultivation world, it is a serious crime to be weak but possess great treasures."

Xu Mo breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that the environment was absolutely safe.

"The Kunyuan Zaiwu Technique may be the defensive technique that Steward Sun used to resist my attack."

Holding the "Kun Yuan Zai Wu Jue" in his hand, Xu Mo was surprised to sense a faint, yet powerful, mountain-like aura emanating from it.

"This technique is probably not as simple as it seems on the surface."

Ordinary techniques or spells are recorded in ancient books or jade slips. Without understanding the key points and the meaning within them, they are just empty shells.

It wouldn't arise out of nowhere with this mysterious aura like that in the "Kun Yuan Zai Wu Jue".

"Kun Yuan carries all things..."

Looking at the few words engraved on the book cover, Xu Mo seemed to understand something, carefully pondering the name of this technique word by word.

"What a magnificent and grand name!"

He grasped the meaning behind it and became very interested, so he opened it and began to study it.

"My [Golden Light] talent has reached its limit; there is no room for further advancement. At most, it can withstand attacks from the fifth level of Qi Refining."

This "Kun Yuan Zai Wu Jue" is precisely a defensive technique, and a mature and complete one at that.

The more Xu Mo looked through the pages, the more regretful he felt.

"The spell is a good spell, but unfortunately I lack the earth elemental root and cannot cultivate it."

However, selling this technique on the black market would surely fetch a good price.

Something will occur if it belongs to your life, if not, do not push it.

Earth magic, due to its characteristics, is the most adept at defense among the five elements of magic.

However, Xu Mo could not conjure an earth spirit root out of thin air; he could only sell it and exchange it for spirit stones.

"What I need is a powerful defensive spell that can be cultivated for a long time, preferably one that can be cultivated until the Qi is fully refined."

Xu Mo gently stroked the spellbook, secretly making calculations in his mind.

"Currently, my metal spiritual root has the highest purity, so it would be best to use a metal technique."

There should be spells that meet the requirements in the black market.

The black market is all-encompassing; it's not only a good place to sell stolen goods, but also a good place to buy various strictly controlled martial arts techniques and spells.

He had already made up his mind that after joining the Luo family tomorrow and becoming a talisman-making guest, he would immediately go to the black market to purchase defensive spells.

…………

The next day.

At noon, the sun hung high in the sky, casting its soft light and bathing the mountains in golden light.

As agreed, Xu Mo went to the side hall of the gambling den and found the manager.

"Master Xu, I have already reported your situation to the family."

"Luo Changfeng, the deacon in charge of this matter, asked me to take you to the clan for a talk."

When the gambling den manager saw Xu Mo arrive, he didn't keep him in suspense and led him directly out of the side hall to the Luo family's ancestral land.

"Yes, thank you for your help, manager."

Both the Zhou family of Liuyun and the Luo family of Yushou were built along the edge of Liuyun Mountain.

Especially the Luo family, the Beast Tamers.

Because their people mainly practice the art of beast taming among the various arts of immortal cultivation, in addition to the few spirit beasts they have bred and raised for generations.

The rest of the spirit beasts were tamed and transformed from the demon beasts in Liuyun Mountain.

Therefore, the Luo family's ancestral lands are very close to Liuyun Mountain.

If it weren't for safety considerations, they would have moved the entire family deep into Liuyun Mountain.

"Master Xu, we've arrived."

Some time later, Xu Mo followed the gambling den manager to the Luo family's ancestral land.

The two cultivators guarding the entrance to the Luo family estate stared directly at Xu Mo, past the gambling den manager leading the way.

"This is Master Xu, invited by Steward Luo Changfeng."

With the gambling den manager's guarantee, Xu Mo successfully entered the Luo family's territory.

Upon entering, rows of antique, quiet, and elegant buildings come into view.

Walking to the center of the Luo family's estate, one sees artificial mountains with overlapping peaks and verdant slopes, pavilions with bluestone bases and redwood frames.

After passing this place, we arrived at the Luo family's backyard.

"We've arrived. This room is the talisman-making room."

The casino manager gently pushed open a door, and Xu Mo followed closely behind.

"Steward Luo, this must be Master Xu, the Talisman Master."

With a prominent nose and slanted eyebrows, Luo Changfeng, dressed in a brocade robe, sat at the talisman-making table.

Beside her stood a beautiful female cultivator with fair skin.

Upon hearing the gambling den manager's words, Luo Changfeng slowly raised his eyes, his gaze sharp as he scrutinized Xu Mo from head to toe.

"Not bad, she has an excellent appearance."

"I just don't know... whether your talisman-making skills are truly as you claim?"

On the way to the Luo family's territory, the gambling den manager informed Xu Mo in advance.

To join a cultivation family as a rogue cultivator and become a guest elder...

He was bound to face some challenges, which Xu Mo had anticipated.

Furthermore, they had prepared their explanations.

Xu Mo first took out three mid-grade first-level golden light talismans from his storage bag and handed them to the talisman-making table.

"Please take a look, Deacon. These are all talismans I made."

Luo Changfeng glanced at the three talismans on the table and handed them to the female cultivator next to him.

The female cultivator took it with both hands, examined it carefully, and then parted her red lips slightly:

"No problem, they are indeed three mid-grade first-tier golden light talismans."

Luo Changfeng nodded, his gaze towards Xu Mo softening. He slowly stood up and gestured for Xu Mo to sit at the talisman-making table.

"Please have Master Xu draw one on the spot to prove that you made it yourself."

Xu Mo respectfully replied "Yes" and sat down at the talisman-making table as Luo Changfeng requested.

The Luo family's talisman-making room was fully equipped with talisman-making tools and materials, but it lacked a talisman pen.

He wasn't in a hurry; he first skillfully lit a calming incense stick.

As the white smoke slowly drifted out, Xu Mo turned his head to look at the female cultivator standing and watching to the side.

"Young lady, I was unaware that I was to draw talismans on the spot, so I did not bring my own talisman brush."

"Excuse me, may I borrow your talisman pen?"

After obtaining Luo Changfeng's consent, the female cultivator gave Xu Mo a bird feather pen.

After Xu Mo took the talisman brush, he took out the complete set of materials for making a mid-grade first-level golden light talisman.

Then, I calmed my mind, gently closed my eyes, and began to quiet my thoughts.
