Chapter 410: Chapter 220: Undercover Again in the Descending Sect, Target to Become the Villain Leader! (5k)

[You did not expose your alchemical talents; instead, you joined the Descending Sect under a new identity.]

[With your current strength, you practically crushed the three faction leaders, but you did not reveal your true power and only displayed the peak of Martial Emperor, barely becoming a protector of the Descending Sect.]

[In the following year, you and Luo Shuying cooperated to pocket most of the medicinal materials from the Descending Sect's treasure vault.]

[You refined elixirs daily to give to the Great Xia Military in the future.]

[In the second year, you revisited the Luotian Meeting Instance, hoping to deepen your understanding of the Dao of Puppets.] Sёarᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

In the real world, Su Xing watched this and nodded slightly, murmuring:

"Using immersive simulation..."

[Ding, you have successfully used the immersive... remaining energy: 3,016,630,000 points.]

Soon, the time for an immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world.

"Nice, with Ghost Grandma's guidance, my understanding of the Dao of Puppets has advanced by leaps and bounds..."

"Although I haven't reached Minor Achievement Level, I should have no problem modifying and controlling those puppets..."

Su Xing's lips curled slightly.

Given his current prowess in the Dao of Puppets, he had only reached the entry level; creating puppets capable of refining elixirs was still unrealistic.

However, fortunately, Su Xing had eight existing puppets, and with minor modifications, they might prove useful to him in the short term.

"But it's a pity, as time goes by, only two years remain until the Luotian Meeting Instance closes... This means I can only enter twice more at most every time I simulate..."

Su Xing sighed.

He had a hunch that some earth-shattering secret was hidden in the Luotian Meeting Instance, and he had to explore its depths within the limited time left.

"But for now, I'll bide my time in the Descending Sect; perhaps becoming a faction leader there will help reveal larger secrets and the identity of the mysterious figure?"

With that thought in mind, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.

[After leaving the Luotian Meeting Instance, you returned to the Descending Sect to continue your role as a protector.]

[You performed valiantly during missions and displayed care for your subordinates in daily life.]

[In just one year, you had amassed nearly twenty thousand admirers in the Descending Sect.]

[Some sect members even secretly urged you to establish a new faction, willing to join your cause.]

[But to avoid suspicion from the two faction leaders and the Damned Dragon, you did not choose to do so.]

[Instead, you continued to play the role of a loyal and dedicated cadre in the Descending Sect.]

[In private, you secretly refined elixirs and continued to study the Path of Talismans.]

[In one year, you had slain countless spirit carps by your hand.]

[Simultaneously, you had mastered several types of talismans, each performing exceptionally well.]

[For example, the second-rank talisman Swift Wind Talismanwhich could double a Master's speed for a stick of incense time and increase a Grandmaster's speed by fifty percent.]

[For instance, the first-rank Bull Talismancould增强 strength from one to nine bull's strengths, greatly boosting a Low Rank cultivator's power.]

[Furthermore, talismans like the Gold Blade Talisman which could unleash golden blades and the Diamond Talisman which could activate shields.]

[In the third year, your understanding of the Path of Talismans fully reached the entry level.]

[This was thanks to your Talisman Expert talent, your amazing Divine Soul talent, and your microscopic-level Divine Sense.]

[The Path of Talismans demanded high spiritual and divine sense strength; even a minor error could damage a talismanfor Low Rank cultivators.]

[But your microscopic-level Divine Sense allowed you to perfectly engrave talisman formulas in your mind, requiring only constant practice and mastery of details and the use of spiritual power...]

[In that year, you remained at the entry level in the Path of Talismans but could already carve dozens of first- and second-rank talismans and even mastered several types of third-rank talismans.]

In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly:

"Indeed, building up momentum!"

"The Path of Talismansrequires a strong divine sense and control over spiritual power..."

"The talismans left by the predecessors are like mathematical formulas...each has its unique traits, and with my strong spiritual power, I can perfectly memorize those talisman marks; this is something Low Rank cultivators can't compete with.

"Refining third-rank talismans is roughly equivalent to Master Level... If reaching fourth-rank means Grandmaster Level, fifth-rank is Heavenly King Level... Refine sixth-rank talismans, and even ordinary profession users can briefly possess the power to threaten a Martial Emperor!"

Su Xing nodded in satisfaction.

Unlike alchemy and the Path of Artifact Refinging which led to gradual strength accumulation, it was impossible to make a gold-level profession user reach the power of a Heavenly King in a short time.

But the Path of Talismans was different, even a gold-level profession user with a sixth-rank attack talisman, used correctly, could have the power to kill a Heavenly King Profession User!

However, its drawback was also obvious, as talismans were almost one-time use; even high-rank ones could only be used a few times.

"Once these talismans hit the market, their prices would certainly be sky-high, even more profitable than elixirs!"
