Eighth-Rank Talisman

"So that's all there is to it. I thought you were going to steal my disciple away."

"Young Friend Lu, you jest. Your cultivation is far superior to mine. How could I dare to steal your love? Besides, while the Literary Sage Physique is a gift from heaven, I simply cannot afford to nurture it."

The Grand Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor sighed repeatedly.

Lu Changsheng had his disciples use Profound Dragon Radiant Ink for cultivation when they were already in the Golden Core Realm, while the Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor only had three pieces of Profound Dragon Radiant Ink at most, which wasn't even enough for himself, let alone to reward his disciples.

Mo Huazhi's achievements under Lu Changsheng far surpassed those at the Great Xia Academy of Letters.

Lu Changsheng entertained the Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor in his cave abode, and the two discussed the Dao for a while. The next day, the Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor left with several Great Confucian.

"Ten Talisman can be bestowed as a reward for four days."

Lu Changsheng summoned his Eldest Disciple, Lin Qingzhi, and began to refine high-level Talisman.

"The Fourth-Grade Talisman, the 'Qi-Concealing Talisman,' can shield your aura, making it difficult for enemies to detect your presence. I bestow it upon you to save your life."

Lu Changsheng took out a yellowish-brown Talisman and gave it to Lin Qingzhi to save his life.

Lin Qingzhi's physique was not as strong as Lu Changsheng's or Lu Qinglian's, so Lu Changsheng specially asked the Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor to refine a Qi-Concealing Talisman.

[Ding! You have bestowed upon your Disciple Lin Qingzhi Fourth-Grade Talisman "Qi-Concealing Talisman," and received Apprentice-Teaching Two-Hundredfold Return Reward: Sixth-Grade Talisman, the "Spirit Concealment Talisman."]

[Spirit Concealment Talisman: Sixth-Grade Talisman merges with heaven and earth, allowing one to escape the search of powerful enemies.]

This Sixth-Grade Talisman is a life-saving Talisman and is very practical.

"The Fifth-Grade Talisman, 'Wood Prison Talisman,' can instantly form a wooden Barrier to trap enemies, preventing them from escaping to the heavens or the earth. Since you possess Wood Spirit Root, this talisman will be even more powerful."

This Talisman can temporarily imprison enemies and can also be used to save one's life.

Lu Changsheng bestowed upon Talisman.

[Ding! You have bestowed upon your Disciple Lin Qingzhi Fifth-Grade Talisman "Wood Prison Talisman," and received Apprentice-Teaching Hundredfold Return Reward: Seventh-Rank Talisman, the "Wood Realm Talisman."]

[I recommend Wild Fruit Reading; it's really good for tracking books. You can download it here: yeguoyuedu. Everyone should give it a try!]

[Wood Realm Talisman: Seventh-Rank Talisman instantly creates a wooden boundary covering a radius of ten miles, used to trap enemies.]

Seventh-Rank Talisman!

This Talisman has a very special purpose: to trap enemies and save one's life.

It was precisely because the "Wood Prison Talisman" was uncommon that Lu Changsheng asked the Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor to specially refine this Talisman.

Mo Huazhi is currently only Beginner Talisman Refining Master and cannot refine Talisman of Fourth-Grade or higher, while the Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor has been famous for a long time and can refine Sixth-Grade Talisman at most.

Seventh-Rank Talisman is priceless.

However, Lu Changsheng was not satisfied; his goal was to obtain Eighth-Rank Talisman or even Ninth-Grade Talisman.

"The Fifth-Grade Talisman, the 'Soul-Stabilizing Talisman,' can temporarily stabilize the seven souls and six spirits, resisting mental attacks. Elders of the Demon Sects and Peerless Great Demons often use this unpredictable and difficult-to-defend Dao Arts. In critical moments, this Talisman can save your life."

Lu Changsheng used his third reward opportunity of the day.

When bestowing the Talisman, Lu Changsheng even explained their uses in detail, showing his utmost dedication.

[Ding! You have bestowed upon your Disciple Lin Qingzhi Fifth-Grade Talisman "Soul-Stabilizing Talisman," and received Apprentice-Teaching Three-Hundredfold Return Reward: Seventh-Rank Talisman "Soul-Suppressing Divine Talisman."]

The Soul-Suppressing Divine Talisman serves a similar purpose to the Soul-Stabilizing Talisman, but it can withstand stronger mental attacks.

The three Talisman that Lu Changsheng obtained— the Spirit Concealment Talisman, the Wood Realm Talisman, and the Soul-Suppressing Divine Talisman —have special uses and may have miraculous effects.

I failed to return the Eighth-Rank Talisman despite three opportunities to bestow rewards today; I'll have to wait until tomorrow.

The Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor crafted ten Talisman, and seven more can be distributed as rewards.

The following day, Lu Changsheng continued to bestow Talisman upon Lin Qingzhi, returning one Fifth-Grade Talisman and two Sixth-Grade Talisman.

The next day, Lu Changsheng still bestowed Talisman upon Lin Qingzhi as a reward.

The two previous rewards of Talisman were returned as two Sixth-Grade Talisman.

"There is one more opportunity to bestow a reward today."

Lu Changsheng took out a Fifth-Grade Talisman.

"The Fifth-Grade Talisman, the 'Five Thunders Talisman,' can summon Heavenly Thunder to vanquish demons and evil spirits; it belongs to the offensive Talisman category."

"Thank you, Master. You've recently bestowed so many Talisman upon me to protect my life; you must be worried about me. I'm unworthy, and I've caused you such concern."

Lin Qingzhi thought it was because his cultivation level was not high enough, which was why Lu Changsheng bestowed a large number of Talisman upon him to save his life.

My master is so good to me.

"You don't need to worry. I simply enjoy teaching."

Lu Changsheng would never mention the system to anyone, not even his disciples.

[Ding! You have bestowed upon your Disciple Lin Qingzhi Fifth-Grade Talisman "Five Thunders Talisman," and received a five-thousand-fold reward for mentoring: Eighth-Rank Talisman, the "Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Talisman."]

I finally got Eighth-Rank Talisman, and it's an attack-type Talisman!

In Lu Changsheng's view, the Spirit Concealment Talisman, the Wood Realm Talisman, and the Soul-Suppressing Divine Talisman Talisman were not as effective at protecting lives as the Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Talisman.

The best way to save your life is to eliminate the enemy, which will naturally save your own life.

Invisibility, escape, and defense are all last resorts.

This gave Lu Changsheng another way to save his life.

"Next, continue farming for Law Treasure, especially Daoist Robes."

After accumulating enough Talisman, Lu Changsheng started crafting Daoist Robes the next day to improve his combat power in every aspect.

In the Northern Border of Desolate Province, a vast mountain range stretching for thousands of miles was cracked due to an earthquake. At one of the fractures, golden light shone brightly, and celestial clouds swirled around it.

A group of the Golden Core Realm cultivators who ventured into the Desolate Province to gather herbs witnessed a miracle.

"With such a commotion, could it be that a peerless master is Tribulation Transcendence?"

"No, I read about this in an ancient book. This kind of disturbance only occurs when the Emergence of the Immortal Ruins!"

What is the Immortal Ruins?

"The Immortal Ruins are the cave abode where Great Expert once cultivated. They might contain all sorts of rare treasures, or even inheritances. These Great Expert existed even before the Six Great Sects, so no one knows what might be inside the Immortal Ruins."

"Ton..."

The group of the Golden Core Realm cultivators swallowed hard, their eyes revealing greed.

If they could obtain the treasures or even the inheritances of Great Expert within the Immortal Ruins, then one day their cultivation could reach the Nascent Soul Realm or even the Dao Palace Realm.

"But I've heard that most of the Immortal Ruins are fraught with danger, and without considerable skill, it's difficult to obtain the treasures within."

"We cultivators are inherently defying the heavens; if we dare not take risks, how can we become immortals?"

"We are very likely to be the first to discover this Immortal Ruins. We should act sooner rather than later, otherwise the Six Great Sects will send people here!"

"Fine, I'll risk it all and try my luck with the immortals. Even if it's just a one in a million chance, I'll die without regret."

This group of the Golden Core Realm cultivators gritted their teeth and chose to venture into the Immortal Ruins.

"If you're looking for death, I'm not going to accompany you. Instead, use this information to negotiate benefits with the Six Great Sects."

One of the Golden Core Realm cultivators, however, did not rashly enter the Immortal Ruins.

This kind of place is not something Golden Core Realm cultivator can touch.

As soon as the Golden Core Realm cultivator left, the news quickly spread to the Six Great Sects.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng was bestowing a Daoist Daoist Robe upon his disciple Lin Qingzhi.

[Ding! You have bestowed upon your Disciple Lin Qingzhi Superior-Grade Acquired Law Treasure, the "Flowing Cloud Daoist Robe," and have received Apprentice-Teaching Eight-Hundredfold Return Reward: a mid-grade innate Law Treasure, the "Qilin Cloud-Pattern Daoist Robe."]

Lu Changsheng rewarded Lin Qingzhi with four Daoist Robes, and finally returned one that was of excellent quality and Daoist Robe.

Lu Changsheng changed into Qilin Cloud-Pattern Daoist Robe True Martial Sword on his back, and carried Eighth-Grade Medicinal Pills and Eighth-Rank Talisman. He was covered in top-grade treasures, and even his physique was comparable to meteorite iron due to his cultivation of the "Nine Dragons Body Refining Method".

Even if he encountered Grand Supreme Elders of the Demon Sects who had cultivated for a thousand years, Lu Changsheng would still have the strength to fight him.

"Without ten or eight Immortal Artifacts by my side, it's still not safe enough..."
