Chapter 2165: Chapter 795: Nine Spirits Ascending to Saint, Jiuli Forms Nascent Soul
Strum strum strum...
A mountain wind passed through the hall, rustling the red paper fiercely.
In Luo Chen’s grand hall, where talismans were being drawn, a symbol was pasted upon each wooden frame.
Presently swaying with the wind, the terrifying power contained within them made Qu Jiu restless.
He couldn’t help but glance at those talismans; over a hundred in total, all meticulously drawn by Master Luo Chen over the past few days.
Most of them were Fierce Sun Talismans!
With such swaying, it seemed as if the blazing sun would fall; should they all explode at once, even a Golden Core Cultivator would likely be blown to pieces!
"Little Jiu, your mind is not at peace."
A gentle voice came from beside his ear. Qu Jiu looked, finding Luo Chen still focused on creating talismans without glancing at him.
He pursed his lips, showing a difficult smile.
"It’s my mental cultivation that’s lacking."
Luo Chen didn’t look at him but continued making talismans. However, he spoke lightly, saying, "I know your upbringing was tumultuous, and even now you resent your father. This makes your temperament extreme and peace hard to find. Such a mentality is detrimental to cultivation and even more so to talisman making, and it’s holding you back from being able to draw Second Order talismans."
Qu Jiu fell into silence.
Talisman making is not as simple as it appears—it has thresholds and requires talent.
And the most crucial talent is having a unified spirit; a mindset that remains unchanged even if confronted by a thousand collapsing mountains.
Without this emotional control, during talisman making one may easily experience mental fluctuations, leading to minor deviations in talismanic patterns, causing previous efforts to be wasted, or worse, improper output of Qi power resulting in talismans being triggered on the spot, causing backlash to oneself.
Previously, he was merely slightly interested in the Talisman Dao, but hadn’t delved deeper.
Lately, under Luo Chen’s guidance, his talisman-making technique advanced rapidly, yet remained stalled at the Second Order talismans.
The main reason was his poor mental cultivation level!
"Ever practiced ’Dust Origin Technique’?"
"Not yet, this technique demands a high divine soul. Even after Elder Wang’s improvements, it still minimally requires a Late Stage Foundation Establishment realm to barely cultivate."
"If that’s the case, I’ll teach you ’Wind-Calming Wave.’ Practice this first, learn how to cut off distractions, and avoid being swayed by external factors. Later, when your realm improves, seamlessly transition into cultivating ’Dust Origin Technique’!"
Qu Jiu was startled, Master was offering him a secret technique?
Just at this moment, sounds of mountain gate paying respects came booming from outside the hall.
"Jiuling Yuanjun requests to meet Alchemy Sect!"
At this moment, Qu Jiu’s expression changed drastically.
Jiuling Yuanjun, a person renowned across the Five Domains of Lingtian and even the entire Eastern Wasteland.
His Middle Stage Nascent Soul cultivation already counts as profoundly advanced Dao cultivation, moreover, this person possesses exceptionally abundant Qi power!
Rumor had it, Jiuling Yuanjun’s Qi power rivaled even the Great Cultivators of Late Stage Nascent Soul.
This alone sets Jiuling Yuanjun above many Nascent Soul True Masters, such that even within the current Five Domains of Lingtian, only the Lingtian City Lord and the closed-door cultivating True Master Shenyuan could surpass him.
Other Middle Stage Nascent Soul cultivators like Fenghua Fairy and True Master Jin Ling simply couldn’t compare in terms of Qi power depth against Jiuling Yuanjun.
Back when Jiuling Domain was attacked by the Demon Clan, even three joint Demon Emperors besieging him couldn’t hold him, demonstrating his ability!
Such a strong figure, at this time, visiting Master with such generosity, perhaps even arrogance, what could his intentions be?
Qu Jiu couldn’t help but anxiously look toward Luo Chen.
However, the white-robed Daoist remained unfazed, still focused on talisman making.
Only as the talismanic pattern reached the final stroke did he slowly raise his eyes.
"Whew..."
Luo Chen blew gently, looking with great satisfaction at the talisman he held, shimmering with intertwining blue and red.
Third Order Qingyang Talisman!
It contained his proudest signature technique from the Golden Core Period, Qingyang’s Great Handprint!
Following a thousand times of drawing low-order talismans, he could now easily create Third Order talismans.
From now on, a Third-order Talisman Maker in name and in fact!
Casually, he tossed the Qingyang Talisman toward Qu Jiu.
The terrifying magical aura yet to be introverted from the talisman made Qu Jiu panic, fearing inadvertently setting off the talisman.
"This one is for you."
"For all other First and Second Order talismans, go find the Sect Master and have him dispatch someone to inventory and store them for wartime usage."
"Here is the jade slip recording ’Wind-Calming Wave’, along with my cultivation insight; take it and understand it well."
After a few instructions, Luo Chen patted his naturally pristine white robe, smiling as he walked out of the grand hall.
...
Amidst knowing and unseen gazes, Jiuling Yuanjun stood outside the Luo Tian Sect mountain gate, quietly waiting.
Seconds ticked away.
In the shadows, countless discussions sparked.
That Alchemy Sect Luo Chen has quite the reputation!
How formidable Jiuling Yuanjun is, voluntarily lowering his guard and vocally paying respects at the mountain gate, yet still seeing no response!
Those watching even awaited a scene of Jiuling Yuanjun storming off in anger.
Unfortunately, after roughly a cup of tea later, Daqing Mountain showed signs of activity.
"How delightful to have friends visiting from afar!"
"Sorry to have kept you waiting, friend."
"Please!"
Clouds converged, a divine rainbow bridged the path.
From a hundred miles afar, it descended right at the visitor’s feet.
Just this one move, showcased Luo Chen’s profound mastery in technique.
Jiuling Yuanjun gazed down at the Rainbow Bridge beneath his feet, focused his gaze, then smiled, stepping onto the bridge and into the mountain.
Thus, countless eager disciples within Luo Tian Sect resumed their normal selves, dust returning to dust, soil to soil, with no further clamors.
In contrast, those observing from the mountainside stared at each other.
Alchemy Sect Luo Chen truly has this ability?
Eclipsing the illustrious Jiuling Yuanjun for a long while, yet he still willingly entered the mountain?
For a moment, everyone couldn’t help but reevaluate Luo Chen’s position in the current Eastern Wasteland.
Though hastily returning, though only in the Early Nascent Soul Stage, though lacking deep foundation...yet his status was now no less than that of veteran powers like Jiuling Yuanjun.
