Chapter 101 - Refining Talismans

Strength Talisman, just as its name implied, it was a talisman that could increase one's strength. It could be used both on humans and beasts.

Yang Song held the brush with one hand and began to inject his True Energy into the brush.

To achieve the perfect stroke of the talisman symbol, that was the realm pursued by many. However, for Yang Song, this was as easy as drinking and eating.

As soon as the brush touched the talisman that was laid vertically on the table, Yang Song's hand moved without any delay.

Each stroke was connected to each other smoothly, the flow was free and unobstructed along the way.

Everything seemed to happen for a long time, but in reality, not even a few seconds had passed yet.

After the strength talisman symbol was drawn, a mystical scene manifested. The blank talisman paper shone slightly in yellow light, then, a complicated red symbol that resembled an ancient character appeared on the talisman paper.

A second later, the dim slight converged and the yellow talisman paper had an additional symbol on, lying motionlessly on the table.

Yang Song put the brush aside and picked up the talisman to inspect.

He felt incredible when seeing the perfect edge, perfect border, and perfect size of the ancient symbol, Yang Song almost couldn't believe that such an amazing character was drawn by him.

Yang Song had practiced calligraphy, but he knew his level very well. However, after mastering the Basic Talisman Manual, his skill in writing and drawing characters rose to an unimaginable height that he could've never hoped to reach in the past.

Yang Song had to sigh with emotion again at the power of the system.

"Next, it's time to test the talisman."

Yang Song muttered, then, holding the Strength Talisman in one hand, Yang Song shouted in his mind, "Activate!"

The Strength Talisman in Yang Song's hand instantly glowed with dim yellow light, after that, the whole talisman dissipated bit by bit into Yang Song's body at a speed visible to n.a.k.e.d eyes.

In the instant that the Strength Talisman disappeared, Yang Song felt the strength in his body rose slightly.

However, the "slightly" was actually a lot in general. This was because Yang Song's cultivation base. The basic rank talisman could barely increase the strength of a high-level Foundation Building Realm cultivator like Yang Song. Hence, it was completely normal.

But don't forget that this basic rank Strength Talisman was of perfect grade. Therefore, Yang Song's strength was higher than normal.

If this kind of talisman was used by a low-level Foundation Building Realm or Qi Refining Realm cultivator, the effect would be more obvious.

Yang Song looked at the teacup on the table and reached out his hand to pick it up.

However, as soon as Yang Song applied a little strength to the body of the cup, it shattered into pieces instantly.

This was within Yang Song's expectation, he deliberately let go of the slight control of his strength earlier.

After a while more, Yang Song noted down the overall effect of the basic rank Strength Talisman in his special note book.

Basic rank Strength Talisman: it was most effective with Qi Refining Realm and low-level Foundation Building Realm cultivators. After a rough estimation, it could allow a 1st stage Qi Refining Realm cultivator to have the basic strength of a 1st stage Foundation Building Realm cultivator.

Starting from the 4th stage Foundation Building Realm, its effect would be reduced significantly.

The duration of this talisman was 10 minutes.

It could be used by any person or beast, be it an ordinary person or an ordinary beast. People or beasts that had no True Energy had to activate it by pasting it on their bodies, but the effect would be reduced from 10 to 9.

After noting everything down, Yang Song threw the notebook back into his storage space.

Next, Yang Song began to draw other useful talismans that he could think of. They were Speed Talisman, Sound Isolation Talisman, Fire Ball Talisman, Water Arrow Talisman, Poison Talisman, and so on.

But as far as Yang Song's True Energy was concerned, Yang Song could only draw 25 basic rank talismans at most if he did not stop.

Yang Song also felt that he was a bit too reckless with his behavior, so when he finished drawing the 15th talisman, Yang Song stopped abruptly as he sat down cross-legged, took out the Spiritual Energy Binding Flower, and began to cultivate to restore his True Energy.

…

After Yang Song restored his True Energy, he put the Spiritual Energy Binding Flower back into the storage space and looked at Xiao Laoxu who was sleeping.

If this guy had woken up earlier, he would be very fascinated with the magic scene when Yang Song was drawing various talismans for sure.

"This lazy fellow," Yang Song shook his head. Yesterday, Xiao Laoxu was practicing very hard, looking as if he was super determined to work hard and change his bad habit. As a result, it was already almost 9 in the morning now, but he was still asleep with his b.u.t.t pointing to the sky.

Yang Song then got up from the futon and walked to the microwave. That's right, Yang Song was going to refine Washing Marrow Pill this time.

On the one hand, he wanted to give this pill to Yang Mei'er as a reward as promised previously. On the other hand, Yang Song wanted to try to develop something out of this Washing Marrow Pill.

Yang Song took out all the necessary raw materials and tools from the storage space and sat down in front of the microwave.

Since this was the second time he was refining this particular pill, and coupled with the fact that he had refined quite a lot of pills previously too, every process was not so troublesome like in the previous time at all.

When Yang Song refined the Washing Marrow Pills for the first time, it could be said that there was no difficulty, but this time, it was extremely easy.

After mixing everything together according to the formula, Yang Song poured the essence into a bowl and placed it in the microwave.

"Let's start."

When everything was done, Yang Song pressed the button on the microwave.

With that, he focused his attention on the timer on the microwave and silently calculated the time at the same time in his heart.

Before long, a faint aroma floated out of the microwave quietly. Smelling this familiar scent, Yang Song subconsciously breathed it in greedily. It was really comfortable and refreshing,

Not just Yang Song, but the asleep Xiao Laoxu and the Undead Steel Scavenger who was playing inside its hole were also affected by this smell.

Xiao Laoxu abruptly opened his eyes and walked over with an intoxicated expression.

The two guys soon came to Yang Song's t.h.i.g.h and sat down on the ground, staring at the microwave with drools flowing out of their mouths.

One person and two unusual beasts, just like this, stared at the microwave together, and counted the time in their hearts.

Ding!

Finally, 7 minutes 7 seconds 49 milliseconds later, a crisp electronic sound of the microwave appeared.

But at the millisecond, Yang Song's hand moved and unplugged the power cable of the microwave.

At this moment, the smell of medicine was stronger than ever. But except for Yang Song, the other two guys were greedily and quickly absorbing the mist and smell of the medicine into their bodies.

Yang Song opened the microwave door and took out the bowl that contained the crystal clear essence which was readied to be molded into round pills.

Yang Song then began to mold the pills. Each pill was exactly, no more no less, five grams.

But this time, Yang Song had refined a total of 12 Washing Marrow Pills.

However, different from the previous time, Yang Song had no intention of eating the Washing Marrow Pill at all. He was already a 5th Tier Foundation Building Realm cultivator, the Washing Marrow Pill had no effect on him.

"Squeak, Master…" At this moment, seeing that Yang Song was about to store the twelve precious babies away, Xiao Laoxu called out anxiously.

"Caw, caw…" Even the usually timid Undead Steel Scavenger flapped its wings anxiously, afraid that those treasures would disappear.

Yang Song was taken aback by the reactions of the two fellows. Then, he let out a smile.

"I can let you eat one each, but I have conditions," Yang Song's eyes rested on the two fellows.

The two guys nodded their heads like chickens.

"Squeak, yes Master!"

"Caw, caw…"

Yang song said, "First, Little Laoxu, make sure to get up early every day to practice martial arts. Don't slack off. If I see you slacking off, don't ever dream of eating this pill again."

Xiao Laoxu naturally nodded without thinking, but Yang Song still felt that this fellow would soon return to his previous behavior for sure.

Yang Song then looked at the scavenger and said, "And you, scavenger, if you take this pill, it means that you will have to become my pet. This is the price. Are you willing?"

Hearing this, the noisy Undead Steel Scavenger fell into silence and lower its head, as if thinking thoughtfully.

A few seconds later, the scavenger raised its head, nodded, and shouted, "Caw!"

After staying with Yang Song for this period of time, although the scavenger was in his hole most of the time, he was actually not that stupid.

He also observed Yang Song from time to time. And just earlier, he had accidentally seen Yang Song performing those magical arts on those mysterious yellow papers.

But leave those things aside first, just the strength of Yang Song alone was crushingly strong enough.

It was just this old devil was quite evil as he had to take his scales from him every day…

Seeing the Undead Steel Scavenger's determination, Yang Song smiled slightly and took out a talisman.
