Chapter 231: The Prowess of the Pinnacle Purple Lightning Talisman

Fang Chen stood quietly at the port as the boat departed.

The local fishermen appeared to be accustomed to this sight. They merely spared a few glances at him before getting busy.

Liu Mu stood quietly behind Fang Chen, not making the slightest noise.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

Fang Chens soul had already risen above the island to survey the area. It was slightly larger than Great Xias capital, and there appeared to be dozens of villages residing here. All in all, it had a population of around 30,000 to 50,000.

There were quite a few little daoists in the Cloudless Monastery. Some were practicing their breathing techniques to the morning sun, whereas others were cleaning the entrance. There were around a hundred people residing in the monastery.

These little daoists werent cultivators but martial artists, and most had reached Earth Profound realm. Some of the older daoists were even at Heaven Profound realm.

Of the entire monastery, there were only five individuals that emanated a cultivators aura. Needless to say, the strongest one belonged to the Cloudless Monasterys reverend.

The other four ranged between third stage to sixth stage Ki Refinement.

There was a mansion deep in the Cloudless Monastery, with a faint medicinal fragrance wafting from it. There was a spirit field and spirit spring inside.

The spirit spring was rich in spirit ki, comparable to the one in the Fang Manor, just that it was much smaller in size, being only around the size of a fist.

Dozens of herbs were being grown on the spirit field. They werent on the level of the 100-year-old Scarlet Fruit or 100-year-old Blood Ginseng, but they were potent enough to even allow a mortal corpse to regrow its flesh.

A place where a cultivator dwells is bound to have some spirit entities. While this island looks ordinary on the surface, it has a natural spirit field and spirit spring, Fang Chen thought.

This was likely one of the key differences between an unaffiliated cultivator and a sect.

Stronger sects were bound to have more potent spirit fields and spirit springs, or maybe even spirit entities beyond Fang Chens imagination.

All of a sudden, a fragrance wafted from one of the rooms.

An old daoist opened the door with a silver tray in hand. Placed on the silver tray were ten pills around the size of a longan. These pills were pristine white, and they let out a rich fragrance.

Four daoists entered the room with Li Huafeng. They walked up to the old daoist and respectfully greeted him with a bow, Master.

They were the four other cultivators in the Cloudless Monastery aside from the old daoist.

Master, I was wrong. I was wrong! Li Huafengs face warped in fright upon seeing the pills, and he desperately pleaded for mercy.

The old daoist was unfazed. Paying no heed to Li Huafengs cries, he had one of his disciples stuff one of the pills into the latters mouth.

Daoist, it was not long ago that you barged into Great Xias capital and killed many of my people. Have you forgotten about that? Fang Chen asked.

The old daoist was stunned. He took a few looks at Fang Chen before smirking in disdain. Daoist Fang, you dared not make a move on me earlier, yet you marched into the Cloudless Monastery on your own accord. Did you get braver in a matter of days?

A clash between cultivators is bound to cause a huge commotion. I didnt want to involve innocent Great Xia civilians, Fang Chen replied.

The old daoists disciples were startled to hear that.

Is this lad a Foundation Establishment cultivator? No, thats impossible. But no one beneath Foundation Establishment would dare to utter such words to our master.

Daoist Fang, lets not beat around the bush. Why are you here? the old daoist coldly asked once more.

You dont believe me? Fang Chen replied.

The old daoist laughed. A couple of measly mortal lives would prompt you to spend ki stones to travel here?

What a pity. Thats exactly the reason why Im here. Fang Chen smiled.

The next instant, a water dragon of over a hundred meters long suddenly assaulted Fang Chen.

Youre also afraid of wrecking your turf with your earth elemental arts? Fang Chen scoffed.

He tossed out a Purple Lightning Talisman, and purple lightning blinded everyones eyes.

The terrifying lightning energy instantaneously engulfed the old daoist and the others behind the water dragon. The ground, the ceiling, and everything else that had been struck by the lightning were reduced to cinders.

As soon as he threw the talisman, Fang Chen had already made sure to retreat a distance away with Liu Mu.

By the time the lightning dissipated, everything had been reduced to ruins.

The old daoists four disciples were reduced to charred corpses, looking as if they would disperse at the gentlest blow of a wind. As for the old daoist, he remained standing.

The spirit ki barrier around him had greatly thinned, and his complexion was ghastly white. He seemed to have expended 80% to 90% of his spirit ki to survive this attack.

The ordinary daoists who were alarmed by the commotion rushed over and were shocked speechless.

I can be certain now its a pinnacle Purple Lightning Talisman, Fang Chen murmured.

That much was clear from the devastation caused by the lightning. High-grade Purple Lightning Talismans couldnt have been this much stronger than a mid-grade Purple Lightning Talisman.
