The primordial era began with the mythological age.

Chapter 48 Tribal Development (Seeking recommendations and monthly votes for continued reading)

Previously, when ferocious beasts invaded the south from the wild mountains, Taiyi used the Xuanhuang Yiqi Talisman to refine various evil energies for use against enemies, but he never thought of using the evil energies to temper his physical body.

Looking at the Giant Spirit True Talisman of the Giant Spirit Clan, he pondered, "Brother, could it be that the ferocious beasts of the desolate mountains deliberately targeted me before?"

Giant Spirit nodded solemnly and said, "I previously thought it was the ferocious beasts in the desolate mountains retaliating against me for venturing into the mountains and killing two of them, but then I realized that you, my brother, are probably the root of the problem."

"I once asked several elders, and they said that there might be ferocious beasts left over from the ancient times hidden deep in these wild mountains. Such beings, by chance, have gained intelligence and have survived from the ancient times to the present. They are probably no less than gods. It is possible that after you, my brother, cultivated the Xuanhuang Yiqi Talisman, you saw something or sensed something, and thus suddenly launched an attack."

"The last battle inevitably felt somewhat anticlimactic, and things have been quite calm for the past year."

Taiyi fell into deep thought: "A ferocious beast..."

Julingshi thought he was worried that ferocious beasts from the depths of the desolate mountains would come out to fight, so he smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, this is no longer the ancient era. Any ferocious beasts that dare to come out and act recklessly have been killed, their tendons and skins have been removed and their bones have been broken down and refined into divine artifacts and even spiritual treasures."

Taiyi nodded, suppressing the various thoughts that arose in his mind, and carefully studied the Giant Spirit True Talisman before him.

Although it originated from the Xuanhuang Yiqi Talisman, it contained the insights of the Giant Spirit Clan, which greatly surprised and delighted him.

At this moment, Julingshi opened the life spring in his lower dantian, but as he had predicted, his innate ancestral qi had long since dissipated.

However, I was mentally prepared, so I can't really say I was disappointed.

Upon seeing this, Taiyi suggested, "Although you lack innate ancestral energy, this Giant Spirit True Talisman has its own mysteries. It may be able to combine with your physical body to become a god, and at the same time connect with your primordial spirit. You may not necessarily lack innate ancestral energy."

"Hahaha……"

Giant Spirit smiled, "I heard my brother mention the idea of ​​becoming a god in the flesh, and that's what I've been thinking about too."

"Hehe, with this supernatural power, I'm even less afraid of those ferocious beasts."

"Who knows, we brothers might one day be able to pacify this wild mountain range?"

Taiyi chuckled upon hearing this: "That day will come!"

……

As night fell, Taiyi returned from Longmen Peak to Xiaocang Mountain.

Inside the temple, he summoned Ju Jiang and the others to test their cultivation.

"We are ashamed that we have not comprehended the wonders of the Xuanhuang Yiqi Talisman and have failed to cultivate it."

Ju Jiang and the others felt ashamed.

Taiyi did not speak, but carefully observed the Dao talismans cultivated by Jujiang, Dawei, and Yanzi. They were three golden Dao talismans named Pure Yuan True Talismans.

Clearly, the three of them comprehended far less of the Xuanhuang Yiqi Talisman than the Giant Spirit Clan.

This talisman can only refine one's own essence and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into pure primordial qi.

"It's already quite good that you were able to create this talisman."

Taiyi Shi did not blame him and said with a smile, "Even Brother Juling failed to master the Xuanhuang Yiqi Talisman, so there's no need to worry about it."

"The Xuanhuang Yiqi Talisman is difficult to cultivate, so let us pass on the cultivation method of the Pure Yuan True Talisman to our clansmen!"

The three men from Jujiang all agreed.

Then Taiyi examined the five internal organs techniques and supernatural abilities cultivated by the individuals, and found that they were all different.

Ju Jiang used the Five Dragons Taoist Technique to enlighten the spirits of the five internal organs, while Da Kui used the Lesser Five Elements Escape Technique to enlighten the spirits of the five internal organs. This technique was passed down by the Giant Spirit Clan.

Yanzi uses the Five Elements Sword Qi to enlighten the Five Internal Organs.

As for Yue, Dafeng, and others, they all cultivated the Five Elements or enlightened the Five Internal Organs based on these three Taoist methods.

Taiyi examined and instructed him one by one, completing the methods behind the Five Elements Sword Qi so that he could enter the realm of the gods.

He then taught Ju Jiang and the others the cultivation methods of the Life Spring Realm, allowing them to complete their realms and advance further.

The night passed in a flash.

Ju Jiang and the others were still not satisfied.

Taiyi did not continue. At present, Jujiang and others had limited digestion capacity, and continuing would not be as efficient as before.

"These are some divine artifacts I obtained on this journey, which I bestow upon you for self-defense and protection."

As he spoke, Taiyi bestowed upon the many divine artifacts he had acquired.

Ju Jiang obtained the most powerful true artifact, a mountain seal.

Dawei obtained a golden net, a divine artifact.

Yanzi obtained a whip, which was also a divine weapon.

Others like Yue and Dafeng, who cultivated the Five Internal Organs Gods, all obtained a divine artifact.

Looking at the remaining people, Taiyi said, "You should all work harder and cultivate the Five Internal Organs Divine Skill; then you will be bestowed with divine artifacts."

The crowd was excited and shouted in unison, "Yes, we will certainly live up to the clan leader's expectations!"

After dismissing Ju Jiang and the others, Tai Yi stayed behind to inquire about the tribe's development over the past year.

"Chieftain, the papermaking technique in our clan has been innovated several times and is now better than before. Moreover, the Giant Spirit God has entrusted us with the papermaking work in Longmen. The paper we make now can supply the basic cultivation needs of our clan members."

"However, ink, brush, and inkstone are extremely dependent on materials, so they cannot be mass-produced. The gods and demigods of Longmen can all refine them themselves. Therefore, the ink, brush, and inkstone produced by the tribe today are mostly for self-sufficiency or to exchange for food and materials from other tribes, which is far from comparable to papermaking."

Let me explain in detail.

Taiyi nodded and said, "We don't need to think too much about ink, brush, and inkstone right now. We are limited by our materials and cultivation level, making it difficult for us to develop and grow stronger."

"But papermaking, the most basic paper and talisman paper, can be made by other tribes in the Longmen Mountains."

Upon hearing this, Yanzi immediately laughed and said, "I had the same thought and was just about to report it to the clan chief."

"The population of a tribe is ultimately limited; there's no need to cater to every single need."

"Moreover, ordinary papermaking is not difficult and everyone can learn it sooner or later. On the contrary, Xuan-level and Di-level talisman paper require a certain level of cultivation to make."

"In fact, the clan has already developed talismans specifically for different Taoist arts and supernatural powers."

Upon hearing this, Taiyi clapped his hands and laughed, "Excellent, that's exactly right!"

Yanzi was delighted to receive the praise and continued, "In addition, Jujiang, along with several other clan elders, and I all agree that, besides researching and reforming papermaking techniques, the clan should also create more talismans."

"Whether it's a one-time use talisman or a talisman treasure, it can be used for protection, and it can also be traded to obtain cultivation resources from the gods."

Taiyi nodded repeatedly in agreement.

However, Yanzi hesitated slightly and said, "It's fine to make talismans for our own use, but if we trade them out, it might reveal the Taoist arts and supernatural powers that the clan leader taught us."

Upon hearing this, Taiyi couldn't help but chuckle: "There's no need to worry. This world is vast, and there's much more to it than just the Taoist arts and supernatural powers I've taught you."

"There are countless others that are more powerful than the Taoist arts and supernatural powers I have taught."

"Moreover, the foundation of Taoist arts and supernatural powers is still the Great Tao."

He did not believe that the Taoist arts and supernatural powers he obtained from the Taoist Tree were unique, and that each one needed to be kept secret.

Moreover, the talismans and even talisman treasures that can be traded nowadays are not that valuable, so Yanzi's worries are premature.

Yan Zi felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this and said, "I was overthinking it."

Taiyi waved his hand and said, "Right now, our core skills are papermaking, talisman making, and medicine."

Yanzi immediately nodded solemnly: "Yes, I will certainly urge my people to do their best!"

Taiyi nodded, took out a sea pearl and handed it to Yanzi. Inside were gifts from Yunyang and others before he returned.

He kept everything he needed for himself, and these were just what his clansmen could use.
