Chapter 25: The Might of Rank 2 Talisman

No matter how you see it, these three things are helpful to solve his current predicament.

"Wait, I can use the Thunder Blast Talisman to create a big hole in the terrain, then use the Heaven Crushing Shovel to clean it up..."

"As for the Earth Moving Technique, maybe not today. I will master it later after I have accumulated a lot of mastery points."

"Hehe, this is also an opportunity to experience the might of the Rank 2 Talisman, the Thunder Blast Talisman. I have a lot of them, so I don't feel sorry for losing a single talisman."

Qin Yi smirked evilly.

He is looking forward to how big a hole the Thunder Blast Talisman could create.

If the hole were too small, then he would enlarge it with the Heaven Crushing Shovel.

Excavating the terrain manually may be tiring and time-consuming. But it's okay; he has plenty of time.

"I only need to leave a few hours out of each day for digging. Besides, I should also start looking for seeds or heaven and earth material plants."

"Aiya~ This seat is too busy!"

Qin Yi sighed as he started to prepare the Thunder Blast Talisman in his hand.

Recently, he had spent a lot of time in the Martial Art Room in the system storage.

He kept many books there, including books that wrote and explained many things regarding the common sense of the cultivation world, such as artifacts, pills, heaven and earth materials, as well as talismans.

Apparently, the talisman is different from an artifact, and they are not classified as an artifact.

But a talisman is similar to an artifact and pill. They are a product produced by a secondary professional.

According to a source that Qin Yi had read, the Secondary Profession was divided into several branches: Alchemist, Refiner, Formation Master, Talisman Maker, and Spiritual Chef.

Like pills made by Alchemists and artifacts made by Refiners, Talismans are also made by Talisman Masters.

The function of a talisman is as an offensive, defensive, or live-saving item.

Its usage is almost similar to that of an artifact; the difference is that if the artifact is a reusable item, then the talisman is a disposable item.

Talisman is not only expensive but also can only be used once. Therefore, only people with thick wallets can afford it.

Using the talisman is simple; you just need to inject your spiritual energy into it, and its application depends on its usage.

Before Qin Yi did the Thunder Blast Talisman's activation procedure, he moved some distance away from this place.

After that, he injected his spiritual energy into it and immediately threw it with all his might into the location he wanted to detonate.

BOOM!

Suddenly a booming sound of explosions reverberated throught out of the entire area and even reached into Qin Yi's ears; this sound was exactly the same as the sound of a thunderbolt descending from heaven to shatter the earth.

A violent thunder instantly shattered the ground and blasted away dust and rubbles until they flew everywhere.

The ground is shaking, and the air is condensing at a visible rate.

Fortunately, the Mystical Garden was a Semi-Soul Artifact. If it were an ordinary Spirit Artifact, its space would have been collapsed by this explosion.

"Is this the power that is equivalent to a Foundation Establishment cultivator? It's so scary!"

The Thunder Blast Talisman was a Rank 2 Talisman; the power produced was equivalent to a Late Stage of the Foundation Establishment cultivator.

According to the information he read, the power of a Rank 2 offensive talisman could blast an Early Stage of the Foundation Establishment cultivator into nothingness.

Qin Yi got goosebumps and broke out in cold sweat just by watching it.

The residual thunder still brutally crept through the puffs of smoke of the explosion earlier.

Even though the explosion had ended, Qin Yi still did not dare to approach it.

"Let's wait until the smoke clears!" Qin Yi muttered and waited silently on the spot.

An hour later, after the smoke cleared, he walked to the site of the explosion.

The Thunder Blast Talisman's explosion created a bowl-like lake. It has about 40 feet deep and only about 500 feet across at its widest point.

With such a big explosion, the hole it created is smaller than he previously thought.

"Looks like I did have to dig manually..." Qin Yi sighed deeply.

With such thoughts, he took out the Heaven Crushing Shovel again and started digging the ground.

Even though it was slower than blowing it up with a talisman, it was better than doing nothing.

As the saying goes: many a little makes a mickle. As long as Qin Yi dig it little by little and do it diligently, it was not impossible to transform this hole into a large lake.

Qin Yi dug for two hours until he finally came out of the Mystical Garden and rested.

Resting is an essential activity even for cultivators. Not to mention he was too tired from his activities today.

***

The next day, Qin Yi came again to the martial arts ground to practice arrows and naturally extracted all the new fortunes of the disciples there.

Thanks to them, his cultivation points increased once again.

-----

Cultivation Point: 15,750

Mastery Point: 0

-----

Well, Qin Yi had already saved up 10,000 cultivation points, but he wants to reserve these points as emergency points.

It was also the time to convert some cultivation points to mastery points.

"System, convert 5,700 cultivation points to mastery points!"

-----

Cultivation Point: 10,050

Mastery Point: 57

-----

Qin Yi nodded after seeing this.

"Wait until the mastery points reach more than 100, I will use it on the Earth Moving Technique."

Even though the Earth Moving Technique was only a low-grade martial skill and was useless in combat, it was necessitated by Qin Yi if he wanted to develop the space within the Mystical Garden.

Qin Yi reflected deeply on this last night before going to sleep.

That night, he realized that digging was so fuck*ng tiring!

He didn't feel like doing it anymore.

Once more day, once more day...

Tomorrow he can collect at least another 5,000 cultivation points, then convert them to mastery points.

After accumulating 100 mastery points, he will use them on Earth Moving Technique and directly push to the Great Accomplishment Realm.

He did not want to do it half-heartedly.

More importantly, no more digging!

Lately, the hottest talk in the cult is "The Miracle of the Rejuvanate Pond", or "Rejuvanate Pond is Really Rejuvanate Pond", "The Treasure In The Rejuvanate Pond", as well as "Rejuvanate Pond Can Rejuvanate A Person".

Anyway, all the talk has to do with Rejuvenate Pond.

The place is now crowded with disciples. Even a few disciples who were outside returned to the sect just to visit the Rejuvenate Pond.

These disciples were either curious or sightseeing or desperate to try the Rejuvenate Pond's effect; one point is that they want to find out what caused the Rejuvenate Pond to change.

Qin Yi himself has not been there since morning as he intends to go there after doing his routine of 1000 arrows-shooting-practice.

At noon, he finally took a break and went to the Rejuvenate Pond.

However, when Qin Yi arrived there, he found that this place was packed with people, but strangely no one dared to approach the pond.

The pond was guarded by seven to eight disciples at the Fifth Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm to the Sixth Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm.

They guard it like they are guarding a National Treasure.

"What the heck-"

Qin Yi was taken aback when he saw this scene.

"Do they have to do this? Isn't it just healing water? Can they just enjoy it together? After all, there are many of them, there is no need for a monopoly."

In his opinion, even though he injected that rock with a large amount of power, its efficiency was at most only equivalent to a Rank 2 Pill; it was unlikely to reach beyond that rank.

It's like sprinkling a medicine in a bucket. Even if the efficiency is still there, it will eventually dissolved into the water.

Not to mention the Rejuvenate Pond's size is massive, and the water keeps flowing and filling the pond.

Sooner or later, these powers will dissipate, and the rock he threw yesterday will return to being an ordinary rock.

There was no such thing as a "rare treasure" in the Rejuvenate Pond; it was just a rumor made up by a bunch of poor disciples after finding something phenomenal, rare, and a bit valuable.

The only thing that can be called a treasure in Rejuvenate Pond is the pool water itself which is still having an effect for a moment.

However, this place was within a sect. How could some disciples dare to grab it for themselves?

"Or perhaps they were ordered by the elder to become this pond..."

Qin Yi looked around and found a disciple at the Second Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm.

He was drooling at the sight of water in the Rejuvenate Pond.
