Chapter 23 Talisman

The information in this jade slip indicates a secret place with extremely rich spiritual energy, which seems to contain very rare and precious spiritual medicines and herbs.

If you pick spiritual medicines and herbs and sell them, you can naturally exchange them for rich spiritual stones.

However, this place is guarded by powerful monsters, and it is extremely difficult to go in and pick spiritual medicines and herbs.

Upon hearing this news, Yang Che directly crushed the jade slip, and at the same time, a trace of slight annoyance appeared on his face.

After all, more than two months have passed. If the female cultivator found helpers, it is very likely that she has defeated the monsters and picked those spiritual medicines and herbs.

Shaking his head, Yang Che turned his attention to other things.

"Talisman?"

Seeing a yellow talisman paper full of spiritual energy fluctuations, Yang Che immediately took it in his hand and observed it carefully.

From Senior Brother Situ of the Transmission Tower, he already knew that there are many types of talismans. In addition to the attributes, there are also attack, defense, speed, sealing, psychedelic, etc.

According to the power from weak to strong, they are divided into primary, intermediate, advanced and top-level talismans.

In addition to the top-level talismans, each level is divided into low-level, intermediate and high-level.

The talisman in his hand flashed with silver light, and it seemed to be engraved with silver paint. The strange symbols and lines were twisted and turned, as if arranged according to some strange rules, containing some magical power.

Unfortunately, he did not understand talismans, and had no idea what grade the talisman in his hand was and how to use it.

Putting the talisman into his storage bag, Yang Che's fiery eyes stayed on dozens of spirit stones and a round metal plate.

The spirit stones were all low-grade spirit stones, a total of 56 pieces, which made Yang Che grin. It was really an unexpected windfall.

After collecting the spirit stones, Yang Che took the round metal plate in his hand, frowning deeply.

He had never seen this thing before, and it was engraved with strange symbols and patterns that were even more mysterious and complex than the talismans.

After looking at it for a long time without being able to figure out the reason, Yang Che reluctantly put away the metal disc and then set his sights on the last item, a translucent jar.

Yang Che was not unfamiliar with this jar, because it was given to disciples by the sect to store herb seeds. It seems that the chores chosen by this male cultivator are undoubtedly to grow herbs.

After opening it, Yang Che found that it was the seeds of the herb ‘Ziqi Teng’, and he immediately smiled.

This Ziqi Teng happened to be one of the auxiliary materials for refining the Eight Treasures Pill, and he didn’t have to hand it over to the sect when he planted this herb in the future, it was completely his own.

Without any hesitation, he directly planted the Ziqi Teng in the herb field, and then Yang Che, who was in a good mood, made a meal of ‘Scallion Oil Noodles’ and ate it happily, and then walked out of Wangxi Residence and began to practice the ‘Yufeng Jue’.

In the past two months, he finally learned the ‘Yufeng Jue’.

This spell can only be used on the body, consuming very little mana, but it can make the whole person as light as the wind and as light as a swallow. Whether it is on the plain or in the mountains and forests, you can easily fly several feet away without any effort by just touching the ground.

If you step on a flying magic weapon and add this "Wind Control Art", it will make you feel like a fish in water. Not only will the flying speed be greatly increased, but you can also maintain flexibility and stability in battle.

More importantly, he heard from Brother Situ that day that in many places where flying magic weapons are prohibited, this Wind Control Art is even more important for low-level cultivators.

After mastering the Wind Control Art, Yang Che sat in the small courtyard of Wangxi Residence and began to worry about cultivation again.

Without the Eight Treasures Pill, the speed of cultivation was so slow that he couldn't stand it. In addition, after starting to practice "Heaven and Earth Chaos Art", it was even slower and made him crazy.

And he almost died in a battle with the sixth-level male cultivator of Qi Refining, which made Yang Che understand the equal importance of cultivation and external resources.

What he lacked most now was spirit stones.

Only by earning enough spirit stones could he smoothly refine the Eight Treasures Pill.

He had memorized the ancient book "Notes on Alchemy" by heart, and its contents had long been engraved in his mind.

He believed that if he had enough herbs, he would be able to refine a large number of Eight Treasures Pills, thereby quickly improving his cultivation.

The several methods of earning spirit stones he learned from Senior Brother Situ were too slow, and they were also common methods known to all disciples, so after a few days of careful consideration, Yang Che decided to go to that secret place to have a look.

If he could avoid the monsters by chance and enter to pick the spirit herbs and herbs, he would make a fortune.

Of course, the premise was that the female cultivator had not found a helper and had not picked the spirit herbs and herbs there.

On that rainy day in Wanglong Mountain, he accidentally fell into the cave of the immortal cultivator, which made Yang Che think that sometimes he still had to gamble on his luck.

But before that, he still had to be fully prepared.

He first went to the Transmission Building to find Senior Brother Situ and asked him for the cultivation method and tips of the ‘Fireball Technique’.

This was a spell that the male cultivator he had luckily killed knew. The power of this spell left a very deep impression on Yang Che, so Yang Che decided to learn this spell.

Then he disguised himself and went to another market, and bought a copy of the “Five Elements Spell Fragment” for the price of twelve low-grade spirit stones.

He bargained with the stall owner for a long time, and the stall owner reluctantly gave him half a dozen blank talisman papers.

Yang Che couldn’t afford the complete spell at the moment, so he could only buy a fragment of the value that was greatly discounted.

But his luck was really good, and he actually found the function and corresponding spell of the paper talisman he got on this fragment.

It turned out that this talisman was called the ‘Silver Armor Talisman’, which was a primary-mid-level fire-attribute defensive talisman, worth about ten spirit stones.

The price of defensive talismans was really much more expensive.

Yang Che gritted his teeth and simply spent another twelve spirit stones to buy a primary-mid-level gold-attribute defensive talisman, the ‘Vajra Talisman’.

Because according to Senior Brother Situ, compared with the same level, some gold-attribute defensive talismans have stronger defensive power than other attribute talismans.

There were still thirty-eight spirit stones left, and Yang Che spent another eighteen spirit stones to buy some highly toxic things.

Then he bought a lot of medicine boxes specially used to store spiritual medicines and herbs, and finally used all the remaining spirit stones to buy multiple auxiliary medicinal materials for refining the Eight Treasures Pill, and then left the market and returned to Sunset Gorge.

Yang Che felt helpless as he became a ‘poor guy’ without even a single spirit stone.

After returning to Sunset Gorge, he first went into the forest and found an extremely thick ancient tree. He directly cut it down with the Piercing Cloud Sword, cut off the thickest part, hollowed out the middle, and made a simple large wooden barrel.

After returning to "Wangxi Residence", Yang Che consulted the method of refining poisons in "Alchemy Notes" after dinner, and prepared some poisons and poisonous smoke that would affect even the foundation-building period.

Then, according to the "Poison Sutra" written by Wei Lao, he prepared some highly toxic liquid medicine and poured it into the large wooden barrel.

In the wooden barrel, Yang Che soaked in it naked, while continuing to strengthen his body, while practicing several "poison skills" he selected.

...

A few days later.

Yang Che went to the hall where the immortal root was tested that day, and completed the procedures for leaving the valley. Then he left Wulong Valley, while practicing the "Fireball Technique" and heading towards that secret place.
