From space to the world, it takes trillions of years

Chapter 263: Level 4 Talisman Master

Next to the bamboo building in the spiritual planting area, a roll of thin and yellowed talisman paper was spread out on the stone table.

With Jianmu in hand, Chen Yu naturally mastered the fourth-order formation pattern after breaking through the Nascent Soul stage.

The three paths of formation, talisman and weapon are inseparable, and the boundaries between them are not so clear.

The biggest difference between talismans and magic weapons is that talismans have much lower requirements for their users.

They are similar in appearance, and the talisman beads used by monks are even more like magic weapons than some magic weapons.

Spiritual plants in the world of immortal cultivation generally have their own precious uses and are rarely used to make talisman paper.

The talisman beads nurtured deep in the spiritual veins have therefore become the mainstream material for talismans of the second level and above.

Often, the higher the level of the spirit vein, the more talisman beads it produces, and the upper limit of the grade also increases accordingly.

But Chen Yu's spirit puppet traveled across half of Tanzhou and only collected a dozen fourth-level talisman beads.

Talismans are consumables, and this amount is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.

The higher level spirit veins are controlled by the Yuanying Sect, and are used at the time when the talisman beads are born. It is basically impossible for them to flow into the outside world.

Fortunately, he had the Jade Dew of Fortune in his hand. What cultivators regarded as a precious medicine for the path to immortality could be easily used for other purposes in Chen Yu's eyes.

However, if you want to turn the spiritual plant into the talisman paper as thin as a cicada's wing in front of you without losing the spiritual energy, the complexity and difficulty are no less than refining a magic weapon.

This roll of talisman paper is made of fourth-order reed and can be cut into 128 small pieces, each six inches long and two fingers wide.

It would take him several hours of effort, which was enough to refine several fourth-level magic weapons.

When it comes to the stage of actually drawing the talisman, things become much simpler.

The light in the space penetrated evenly through the white barrier at the border, and the heat from all around formed clouds over the lake.

Then it crossed over four hundred miles of primeval forest, mixed with the subtle fragrance of herbs and magical herbs, and was delivered to the monk's side.

Chen Yu raised the talisman brush and splashed ink on the stone table, completing the calligraphy in one go.

Just five days ago, Ling Kui killed a Jindan Demon King at Qiji Mountain in the northwest of Daze.

The handle of the talisman pen is taken from the tibia of the demon king's forelimb, and the tip of the pen is made from its feathers.

The entire talisman pen is a third-grade top-grade magic weapon, which is sufficient for drawing talismans.

The grade of a talisman depends on the amount of spiritual power in the talisman paper and ink, as well as the sophistication of the talisman pattern.

Just pick up a branch from the ground and the effect won’t be much different.

A mere magic weapon is just the icing on the cake.

Chen Yu also tried to use the demon king's blood as talisman ink to draw talismans.

It’s a pity that even the essence and blood of the Demon King cannot withstand the power of the fourth-level rune.

This small cup of dark green talisman ink is made from three thousand-year-old magical herbs.

For ordinary cultivators, even just smelling it can improve their cultivation, let alone swallowing it.

As Chen Yu moved his brush like the wind, a faint light appeared on the talisman paper, and suddenly disappeared when it finally took shape.

Drawing a talisman requires about 20% of one's own mana, but the speed at which the Nascent Soul recovers mana is slightly faster than the consumption.

He drew sixteen talismans in one breath, but the mana reserves in his body did not change at all.

Chen Yu held the stack of fourth-grade, perfect talismans in his hand, but his mind was not here.

There is no use for it in this space, so the puppet has to be taken to the outside world to test its quality.

It is said that a "decree" from a powerful person can be as effective as the presence of the deity in person, and can suppress the most evil and stubborn people in the world.

This so-called "decree" is a talisman that is countless times more powerful.

Talismans from the first to third levels are mainly used to seal spells, and the power of the spell depends on the cultivation level of the talisman master and the amount of spiritual energy infused into it.

After the fourth-level talisman is activated, it can summon a spirit to fight independently and protect the user of the talisman based on its breath.

Although this spirit has no soul blessing, it can still distinguish between basic enemies and friends.

With Chen Yu's current realm and the carrying capacity of the talisman paper, the spirit can fight for about fifteen breaths at its peak state.

His cultivation level is almost the same as the original body, but he can only launch conventional spell attacks.

A spirit is not a physical body, so its defensive strength is naturally greatly reduced.

It cannot use the rudiments of Chen Yu’s magical powers or his natal magic weapon.

In general, the strength that the spirit body can exert is less than 10%, but it is enough to crush the golden elixir.

It is unlikely to kill a cultivator in the early stage of Nascent Soul, but you will basically not be at a disadvantage before the spiritual body dissipates.

Compared with puppets, the advantage of talismans is that they do not require the soul to be enclosed and are easy to carry.

When fighting, he would wave his hand and send out hundreds of spirits of similar realms, and no one would be afraid of him.

However, the materials used are only paper and ink, so while they are economical, their endurance is naturally far inferior to that of puppets.

However, there seemed to be no suitable opponents in the entire Tanzhou, and most of the Nascent Soul Demon Kings had fled far away from the area.

As for taking the initiative to provoke the Yuanying Sect, Chen Yu was not sure he could escape unscathed.

Besides, he was not willing to do anything that would bring no benefit just to test the power of the talisman.

After putting away the talisman, Chen Yu came to the outside of the spiritual plant area.

With his master's instructions in place, Yunjiu treated these monkey monsters fairly well.

The chosen location is full of spiritual energy and filled with fruit trees.

The Monkey King sat upright under a thousand-year-old sacred tree, meditating and cultivating with a steady breath.

Some time ago, it followed other great monsters and diligently sought solutions. With Jianmu, its powerful weapon, it quickly found its own way of cultivation.

The burly foundation-building demon had his hair and beard standing out, and there was a hint of ferocity between his brows and eyes.

He somehow managed to put on a grey Taoist robe and quietly meditate beside an ancient tree.

It looks a bit strange, but also has a bit of the charm of Taoism.

In comparison, its monkeys and descendants are much more naughty.

Only a few of them were concentrating on their training, while most of them were hanging on the treetops, jumping and shouting happily.

Of course, they did not forget their own duties and hollowed out the tree trunks to hold the spiritual fruits.

Add some wine brought from Yuanchou Mountain, collect a few kinds of herbs and mix them in, then you can just wait for the right time.

But this situation is only limited to some large and low-grade trees.

Once they reach the third level, these Qi-refining monkey monsters will not be able to make a single cut no matter how hard they try.

Chen Yu did not choose to wake up the Monkey King, but instead strolled all the way to the lake.

Monks often abstain from worldly grains, and true monks can even survive entirely by breathing in spiritual energy.

However, most low-level spiritual medicines are bitter, and although high-level spiritual medicines are good, they will become boring if taken frequently.

Chen Yu enjoyed a precious place, so he had to indulge in feasting frequently.

It's a pity that this fishing rod made of fine purple bamboo has to be used to catch some small and inferior fish.

With a higher level of cultivation, your wisdom will increase, and you will definitely not be able to catch fish by fishing.

Unless you jump onto the fire rack like the monster goat next to you.

As space expands, it has become difficult for the plants and trees on the periphery to receive the blessings of nature's jade dew.

For these spiritual fish that have not yet become monsters, bait made from three hundred year old spiritual medicine is still very attractive.

After just a few moments, Chen Yu contentedly put away his fishing rod and called a few big monsters to come over to help clean up.

A clever monkey demon saw this and came over with two jars of fruit wine as offerings.

The newly brewed wine had a very low alcohol content and was as sweet as honey, so the monsters rushed to drink it.

I occasionally achieved some success in my spiritual practice and had a good catch from fishing.

I think the happiness of an immortal is nothing more than this.
