Chapter 488 Talisman Master

Time passed slowly, and about half an hour later, Cao Ying was the first to break free from the deep ocean of knowledge.

She first opened her eyes dazedly and blinked a few times, as if she had just woken up from a distant and deep dream.

Her pupils, which had been somewhat dazed, gradually began to focus, and her consciousness returned to her body like a gurgling stream.

Soon after, Danchen also woke up slowly. There was also a trace of confusion and trance in her eyes. She raised her hand and gently rubbed her temple, as if she was trying to sort out the massive amount of information that had just flooded into her mind.

Just as Cao Ying and Dan Chen slowly woke up and subtle noises spread quietly, Xiao Ling seemed to have telepathic connection and keenly captured the situation here.

Immediately, he turned slightly and headed towards where the two people were.

When Xiao Ling saw that the confusion and trance in Cao Ying and Dan Chen's eyes were gradually being replaced by clarity, he found it very interesting and couldn't help but chuckle.

Then, he gently gathered his scattered thoughts and walked steadily forward in the direction of the two women.

However, although Cao Ying and Dan Chen have both regained consciousness at this moment, the shocking counterattacks they had previously gained from the talisman inheritance have thrown a huge rock into their hearts, stirring up a thousand waves and making their hearts fall into a vortex of intense shock.

At this moment, they were speechless for a moment, and their lips seemed to be sewn together by invisible silk thread and remained shut for a long time.

It was not simple silence, but a complex emotion of awe and confusion that came from the heart when facing the vast unknown field of knowledge.

For a moment, it was difficult to make sense of anything, to find the right words to express the ups and downs in my heart. I could only stand there in such a quiet posture, letting the surging emotions in my heart gradually calm down.

Xiao Ling walked up to the two girls and scanned their faces, taking in their expressions of shock and confusion. After a brief thought, he had a pretty good idea of ​​their current state of mind.

Immediately, Xiao Ling opened his thin lips and chuckled. Then, he raised his hand and flicked the two girls' smooth foreheads with his slender fingers. His eyes were full of mischief and pampering. He deliberately dragged out the tone and whispered teasingly,

"Hmm? What's going on? You two are just standing there like this. Are you so shocked by the gift I gave you that you can't speak?"

After saying this, he crossed his arms over his chest, a faint smile on his lips, and looked at the two girls with interest, as if he was expecting their response.

Xiao Ling's sudden action startled Cao Ying and Dan Chen. They subconsciously raised their hands and gently covered their foreheads, looking like frightened deer, with a bit of coquettishness and ignorance.

Then, as if they had telepathic connection, they turned their gazes to Xiao Ling almost at the same time, and their eyes were filled with resentment and anger.

However, Xiao Ling's seemingly casual interruption just happened to break the originally heavy silence. Cao Ying and Dan Chen's thoughts were also quickly pulled back to reality at that moment. The strong shock in their hearts caused by the previous talisman inheritance was gently soothed in this relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, and their emotions gradually returned to calm.

Cao Ying opened her red lips and let out a long breath, as if to dispel the amazement and shock in her heart. Her face was full of emotion, and she said softly:

"I, Cao Ying, consider myself to be knowledgeable about the cultivation methods of the talisman master, but today I have truly broadened my horizons. This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a wonderful method."

After saying this, her beautiful eyes sparkled with a thoughtful light, as if she recalled the mysterious information she had seen in the talisman inheritance before, and she couldn't help but sigh again:

"In order to learn more knowledge, I have read many ancient books in the Dan Tower. I thought I had some understanding of various cultivation methods in this world. I never expected that the skills of the Talisman Master were completely beyond my understanding. They are so unique and exquisite that I have never heard of them or seen them before."

"Indeed, this profound and mysterious cultivation method, in my opinion, is not inferior to the alchemy technique we have learned."

Dan Chen nodded slightly, a look of approval appeared on his delicate face, and he echoed softly:
"Alchemists and talisman masters each have their own strengths. Alchemists are good at refining various kinds of elixirs, each with its own efficacy, and can provide great assistance in various aspects. Talisman masters fight with their mental power. If their mental power is strong, it is very possible to fight against opponents of higher levels. If someone not only has a very strong spiritual power, but can also integrate the skills of both, then that person's achievements are absolutely unimaginable..."

At the moment when the conversation paused, Cao Ying and Dan Chen seemed to have a telepathic connection. Their eyes met in the air. For a moment, the excitement flashed in those beautiful eyes that were as clear as water.

The art of alchemy and the art of talisman master both essentially have extremely high requirements on the practitioner's soul power.

As for Cao Ying and Dan Chen, although their cultivation level may not be high enough to be considered top masters, their soul power is their unique talent.

Although one of them is only in her early twenties and the other has just reached adulthood, the soul power they possess has already surpassed most Dou Zun powerhouses.

People like them who have been gifted with soul power since childhood are undoubtedly the best talents to practice the way of talisman masters.

If Cao Ying and Dan Chen can deeply tap into their own soul potential and achieve success on the path of talisman masters, then their previous shortcomings in combat effectiveness will be effectively compensated.

Imagine if they could integrate the art of alchemy with the skills of talisman masters, they would not only be experts in alchemy, but also possess powerful personal combat capabilities.

Just imagining such a prospect was enough to make the two women's hearts beat fast and yearn for it.

"From the looks of you, it's clear that you've understood the importance of practicing as a talisman master, so there's no need for me to elaborate further."

Xiao Ling stared at the faces of Cao Ying and Dan Chen. Their inner thoughts were already vividly portrayed on their faces, which made him feel quite funny and interesting. He could only chuckle and shook his head, saying,

"Next, you must work hard and keep delving into the path of Talisman Master. With your current foundation of soul power, as long as you persevere, when you achieve some skills in the future, the benefits and help you can get will definitely be beyond your current imagination." Dan Chen and Cao Ying both understood Xiao Ling's reminder and nodded without comment.

In fact, even if Xiao Ling didn't say it, they had already made up their minds in their hearts that they must practice the way of the talisman master in the future. After all, with such a powerful practice method in front of them, who wouldn't want to become stronger?

This talisman master's cultivation method is so powerful, and it is especially suitable for them to practice. If they get it but don't know how to cherish it and don't practice it well, then they are really confused.

"Xiao Ling, where did you get the cultivation method of a talisman master?"

Cao Ying's face was full of confusion, her eyes were fixed on Xiao Ling, her inner curiosity surged like a tide, she really couldn't understand how such a special method could appear in his hands.

"Even among the many ancient books collected by Danta, we have never found any records related to the practice of talisman masters."

Dan Chen next to him couldn't help but cast a curious look at Xiao Ling, his bright eyes full of eagerness to find out what was going on.

They had already deeply experienced the wonder and power of this talisman master's cultivation method. According to common sense, with Danta's powerful influence and far-reaching influence on the Douqi Continent, almost nothing could completely escape its ears and eyes, and more or less some information would be left behind.

But what was surprising was that in the vast books of Danta, there was not a single clue about the practice methods of talisman masters. This abnormal situation undoubtedly greatly aroused their inner curiosity.

"I actually discovered this talisman master's secret method of cultivation by chance from an ancient relic. Even though I looked for various clues, I couldn't tell how old the relic was."

"But I do know one thing. Throughout the long history of Douqi Continent, the talisman master's technique was once glorious. During its heyday, its influence was probably no less than that of today's alchemy technique."

Xiao Ling met the curious gazes of the two women, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he calmly made up this explanation, as if the past years had really appeared before his eyes one by one.

"However, perhaps because of some unexpected events, the talisman master's method began to gradually decline, gradually falling into decline, and finally being forgotten in the corner of history, with no one paying attention to it. Even a top force like Danta did not leave any records about it."

After listening to Xiao Ling's explanation, Cao Ying and Dan Chen both showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and nodded. Since the method of this talisman master's cultivation originated from ancient relics, its mystery and rarity are not difficult to understand.

They didn't pursue the matter any further. After all, for them, being able to practice a method that was beneficial to them was enough. If Xiao Ling was willing to share more, he would naturally say it; if he remained silent, there was no need to force him, lest he offend others.

"By the way, Brother Xiao Ling," Dan Chen's eyes sparkled with curiosity. She looked up at Xiao Ling and spoke in a soft and pleasant voice from her small lips, "Since you have already taught us the practice of the talisman master, you must have already started practicing and become a real talisman master, right?"

She paused and continued to ask, "Moreover, the natal talisman you gave to me and Cao Ying before seems to be very precious according to the information we have so far. Brother Xiao Ling, do you also have a natal talisman that you can use?"

"Haha, you are a thoughtful girl." Xiao Ling couldn't help laughing when he saw Dan Chen staring at him eagerly. He raised his hand and gently stroked her soft long hair, with a little doting look in his eyes, and smiled softly,

"Since I have already prepared the natal talisman for you, I will naturally not neglect myself. My natal talisman has already been prepared, so you don't have to worry about me."

The two talismans that Xiao Ling had given to Cao Ying and Dan Chen before were actually the inheritance of the two immortal talisman masters, which Xiao Ling had taken from the spirit of the ancestral stone.

Each of these two talismans contains a top-quality natal talisman, which can help Cao Ying and Dan Chen open the door to talisman master training more smoothly and lay a good foundation for their subsequent practice.

Since the Ancestral Stone had been circulated in the Tianxuan Continent for a long time and passed down through countless holders, it had accumulated the essence of many predecessors. Among them, there were many valuable inheritances left by some predecessors with outstanding strength.

There are several such immortal talisman master inheritances in the inner space of the ancestral stone. Taking out two for Cao Ying and Dan Chen to use is just a matter of sprinkling water.

Xiao Ling paused for a moment, and his expression became more serious. He continued, "Although I know more about the practice of Talisman Masters than you, my practice is only at the theoretical level. Because I was busy preparing for the various affairs of the Alchemy Conference and doing a series of preparatory work, I have not yet started the actual practice of Talisman Masters."

"However, when I have some free time, I will devote myself to cultivation and strive to reach the highest level of Talisman Master that my current soul power can reach in one go."

"Xiao Ling, with the strength of your soul that has reached the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Realm, you should be able to at least reach the Great Perfection of the Immortal Talisman Master. With your Talisman Master cultivation alone, you are more than enough to compete with masters like Master and his like."

Cao Ying groped her chin with her slender fingers and couldn't help but be amazed as she spoke.

"Okay, stop talking about me. You need to concentrate on practicing the art of talisman master. In the future, I also hope that you two can become my right-hand men and lend me a hand."

Xiao Ling smiled and shook his head gently. At the same time, he stretched out his hands and held the hands of Cao Ying and Dan Chen respectively, his eyes full of tenderness and expectation.

The reason why Xiao Ling passed on the talisman master's cultivation method to Cao Ying and Dan Chen was not just because of the close friendship between him and the two women. Behind his decision, there were more complicated plans and considerations.

In the Douqi Continent, if we talk about which type of people have the greatest talent and potential to become talisman masters, it is undoubtedly the group of alchemists.

However, in terms of the background of alchemists, apart from the Medicine Clan, one of the eight ancient clans, which other force can compare with Danta?
Xiao Ling would naturally not hand over the talisman master's cultivation method to Danta for no reason. Only when he was sure that his will could dominate Danta's decision-making, would he be willing and at ease to spread this cultivation method.

Making Cao Ying and Dan Chen the talisman masters was also a carefully planned move by Xiao Ling to increase his influence in Danta. He was very confident that his plan would have a significant effect when the time was right.
