Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Crafting Ninth Grade Talismans (1 Update)

Ji Xuan’s body condensed a Demon Core, the surface of which was covered with complex and mysterious patterns, a million times more intricate than those of other Great Demons.

The instant the Demon Core formed, her cultivation rose from the Qi Transformation Realm to the Golden Core Realm.

“With Master’s power-infusing initiation, my cultivation speed is just too fast.”

In less than a month, Ji Xuan had condensed a Demon Core, with a cultivation speed so astonishing it defied all logic.

Elder Lu infused her with power several times, directly elevating her cultivation to the Golden Core Realm.

Elder Lu wasn’t worried about nurturing her too quickly; the Demon God Physique was not in danger of having an unstable foundation.

As the Demonic Qi gathered above Qingyun Peak dissipated, the elders of Mount Shu’s various peaks finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the Demon God Physique was still at the Golden Core Realm, the Demon Power was already extraordinary.

The disciples directly transmitted by Elder Lu were all exceptional talents, causing quite a stir among the Mount Shu elders from the various peaks.

[Ding, your fifth disciple Ji Xuan has advanced from the Qi Transformation Realm to the Golden Core Realm. The system has detected that your disciple has a servant. You receive the disciple’s realm advancement reward: 9th-grade “Celestial Dog Marrow-Cleansing Pill” elixir.]

Elder Lu received a 9th-grade Immortal Pill.

[Celestial Dog Marrow-Cleansing Pill: An Immortal Pill used to cleanse the marrow and rejuvenate the body for the canine race.]

This 9th-grade Immortal Pill was suitable only for Great Demons like Daoist Earth Hound.

However, Elder Lu had no intention of simply gifting it to Daoist Earth Hound.

Only if Daoist Earth Hound made contributions to Qingyun Peak would Elder Lu consider gifting the 9th-grade Immortal Pill.

For Daoist Earth Hound, this could be a great opportunity.

Elder Lu put away the Celestial Dog Marrow-Cleansing Pill and pondered how to supplement the 9th-grade “Golden Crow Divine Fire Talisman.”

Elder Lu had used the talisman to severely injure a Demon General, sparing no expense.

“The Golden Crow Divine Fire Talisman is a Fire Talisman. Rewards like the 2nd-grade ‘Great Flame Talisman,’ 4th-grade ‘Separation Fire Talisman,’ and 5th-grade ‘Great Separation Fire Talisman’ might bring back the 9th-grade Golden Crow Divine Fire Talisman.”

With his extensive experience in teaching disciples, Elder Lu roughly assessed which Talismans had a higher probability of returning a higher-grade specific Talisman.

Elder Lu called over Ji Xuan, who had just broken through to the Golden Core Realm, to pass down his knowledge and initiation.

[Ding, you have transferred 6 days’ worth of cultivation to your disciple Ji Xuan, who actually received 1.5 days’ worth of cultivation. You receive a hundred-fold return on your teaching reward: 150 days of cultivation.]

150 days of cultivation, so-so.

The amount of cultivation needed for each level of the Void Refinement Realm is tens of thousands of days, and if one cultivates the Nine Revolutions Divine Demon Body Refining Method as well, it exceeds 100,000 days.

Elder Lu prepared five Separation Fire Talismans to reward his junior disciples.

As Ji Xuan was at the Golden Core Realm, the highest she could be rewarded was a 4th-grade talisman.

[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Ji Xuan with a 4th-grade ‘Separation Fire Talisman,’ and you receive a twenty-fold return on your teaching reward: a 5th-grade ‘Great Separation Fire Talisman.’]

The first teaching return was a 5th-grade Talisman.

Elder Lu kept the 5th-grade Talisman.

[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Ji Xuan with a 4th-grade ‘Separation Fire Talisman,’ and you receive a twenty-fold return on your teaching reward: a 5th-grade ‘Great Separation Fire Talisman.’]

The second was also a 5th-grade Talisman.

[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Ji Xuan with a 4th-grade ‘Separation Fire Talisman,’ and you receive a five-hundred-fold return on your teaching reward: a 6th-grade ‘Great Fire Burst Talisman.’]

[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Ji Xuan with a 4th-grade ‘Separation Fire Talisman,’ and you receive a twenty-fold return on your teaching reward: a 5th-grade ‘Great Separation Fire Talisman.’]

[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Ji Xuan with a 4th-grade ‘Separation Fire Talisman,’ and you receive a five-hundred-fold return on your teaching reward: a 6th-grade ‘Great Fire Burst Talisman.’]

After five rewards, he received three 5th-grade Talismans and two 6th-grade Talismans.

These Talismans could be rewarded to disciples at the Dao Palace realm.

Elder Lu planned to accumulate a batch of 5th and 6th-grade Talismans and then collectively reward them to other disciples in an attempt to gain the 9th-grade Golden Crow Divine Fire Talisman.

“Come see me again tomorrow, and I will give you some more talismans for protection.”

“Yes.”

Ji Xuan sensed that her Master seemed intent on rewarding her with more Talismans.

…

When Lu Changsheng performed the power-infusing initiation, Xia Ningxue, far away at Misty Peak, regained a portion of her cultivation.

“How strange, how could his cultivation level increase so rapidly?”

Due to the Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills, Xia Ningxue experienced a slight increase in her cultivation.

Xia Ningxue was practicing a Heaven Rank swordsmanship, and the Sword Dao Comprehension she gained was partially returned to Lu Changsheng by the system.

“The Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills really are a miraculous cultivation technique. When I receive the power-infusing initiation later, he should also receive a portion of the return, right?”

Xia Ningxue sheathed the Severing Affection Sword and went to receive the power-infusing initiation from the Supreme Elders.

…

At Qingyun Peak, Lu Changsheng suddenly gained several hundred days’ worth of cultivation, further advancing his level.

The next day, Lu Changsheng called over his fifth disciple Ji Xuan to continue rewarding her with talismans.

This time, he rewarded her with five Separation Fire Talismans and received four Great Separation Fire Talismans and one Great Fire Burst Talisman in return.

On the third day, he received three Great Separation Fire Talismans, one Great Fire Burst Talisman, and one Zhurong God Talisman in return.

On the second day, he received five Great Separation Fire Talismans in return.

On the third day, he received two Great Separation Fire Talismans, two Great Fire Burst Talismans, and one Zhurong God Talisman in return.

“All right.”

Lu Changsheng consecutively rewarded his fifth disciple with 25 Separation Fire Talismans, almost making Ji Xuan suspect that something demonic was at play.

Why would Master reward so many Separation Fire Talismans to me? What is he planning?

Lu Changsheng accumulated a total of 25 Great Separation Fire Talismans, Great Fire Burst Talismans, and Zhurong God Talismans.

At present, he could reward up to sixth-rank talismans.

He decided to keep the Zhurong God Talismans for later to reward to his disciples.

In six days, he had collected 28 Great Separation Fire Talismans and Great Fire Burst Talismans.

Afterward, Lu Changsheng took turns rewarding other disciples with talismans.

[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Lin Qingzhi with a fifth-rank talisman “Great Separation Fire Talisman,” receiving a 300-fold return reward: a seventh-rank talisman “Zhurong God Talisman.”]

[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Lin Qingzhi with a fifth-rank talisman “Great Separation Fire Talisman,” receiving a 25-fold return reward: a sixth-rank talisman “Great Fire Burst Talisman.”]

…

[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Lin Qingzhi with a sixth-rank talisman “Great Fire Burst Talisman,” receiving an 800-fold return reward: an eighth-rank talisman “Divine Fire Demon Subduing Talisman.”]

By rewarding Lin Qingzhi with five talismans, Lu Changsheng summoned an unprecedented eighth-rank talisman: the “Divine Fire Demon Subduing Talisman.”

The Divine Fire Demon Subduing Talisman and the Divine Thunder Exorcism Charm should be part of the same set of talismans.

“I wonder what the effects would be if I used the Divine Fire Demon Subduing Talisman and Divine Thunder Exorcism Charm together with other eighth-rank talismans?”

Lu Changsheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Next, Lu Changsheng rewarded Lu Qinglian, his second disciple, with five talismans, and the system returned three Great Fire Burst Talismans and two Zhurong God Talismans.

To his third disciple, Mo Huazhi, he rewarded five talismans and received two Great Fire Burst Talismans, two Zhurong God Talismans, and one Divine Fire Demon Subduing Talisman in return.

To his fourth disciple, Shen Xiaoyao, he rewarded five talismans and received four Great Fire Burst Talismans and one Divine Fire Demon Subduing Talisman in return.

“It’s really difficult to get ninth-rank talismans.”

Having used up all his Separation Fire Talismans and Great Separation Fire Talismans, Lu Changsheng went to the Treasure Pavilion of Mount Shu, exchanged the seventh-rank Zhurong God Talismans for Sect Contribution Points, and then used the points to exchange for a batch of fourth-rank Separation Fire Talismans and fifth-rank Five Thunders Talismans.

“How strange, with Elder Lu’s level of cultivation, there’s no need for him to exchange for a batch of fourth-rank and fifth-rank talismans.”

“Perhaps Elder Lu intends to bestow them upon his disciples.”

“Alas, it would have been great to become a disciple of Qingyun Peak, but alas, our cultivation levels are not refined enough.”

The disciples guarding the Treasure Pavilion couldn’t help but long for Qingyun Peak.
