Thirty Years (Part Two)
After spending a month with his wife and having his clansmen deliver the necessary materials, Yang Tianyou once again entered the Seclusion Chamber.
A bright pearl hangs high, its warm and comforting light spilling onto the mountains of high-grade materials piled below.
Divine Wind Clan Corpse, Phoenix Essence Blood, Corpses of the Giant Spirit Tribe, High-Rank Weapon Sha Qi, Sixth Tier Sun-Moon Spring, Sixth Tier Soul Liquid...
Any one of these items, if thrown out randomly, would be fought tooth and nail by Low-Rank Cultivators.
"Let's forge the White Tiger Talisman Soldiers first!"
The thought flashed through Yang Tianyou's mind. He picked up a black and red pottery jar and probed it with his Divine Sense. The terrifying Weapon Sha Qi and killing intent surged violently like a raging storm. If this pottery jar had not been Sixth-Tier Upper-Grade Law Treasure, it would probably have been eroded and destroyed by the Weapon Sha Qi and killing intent long ago.
A flash of Azure Light appeared, and the Creation Brush appeared in his palm. With a breakthrough in cultivation, his mastery of the Jade Register Heavenly Book reached a new level, and he became even more adept at controlling the Creation Brush.
He took out a pile of high-grade materials, and with a gentle tap of the Creation Brush, a ball of azure divine fire fell down, transforming into a lotus shape that enveloped all the materials. Before long, it refined into a ball of three-colored Spirit Liquid.
Yang Tianyou collected the Spirit Liquid in a special container and continued processing the remaining materials.
A month later, he looked at the bottles and jars in front of him and smiled with satisfaction. "Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood, and a craftsman must first have the right tools if he wants to do his work well. With higher cultivation, everything is easier. It seems that I won't need five years; I can refine all the Talisman Soldiers and Talisman in three years."
The thought flashed through Yang Tianyou's mind, and with a wave of his right hand, a pitted Meteorite the size of a human head appeared before him, its surface shimmering with silver starlight.
This is Starry Sky Meteorite that fell from the sky, of Sixth Tier, Upper Grade. It is a treasure kept by the True Martial Sacred Land. When Yang Tianyou was selecting high-grade spirit medicine, he casually swapped it out.
"With my current mastery of Talisman Dao arts, refining Sixth Tier, Upper Grade Talisman Soldier shouldn't be difficult!" Yang Tianyou muttered to himself.
Having said that, he held the Creation Brush and gently waved it. A wisp of Azure Light fell down, transforming into a lotus-shaped flame that enveloped the Starry Sky Meteorite within its petals, rapidly refining it.
Three days later, the Starry Sky Meteorite completely transformed into a mass of silver liquid, mixed with specks of black light.
"Star attribute, Metal Attribute, let's take this ore, the Litiangilded Gilded Gold Stone, Sixth Tier, Upper Grade, its Spiritual Qi conduction and soul fusion characteristics are fully up to standard, it can be used to refine the White Tiger Talisman Soldier!" Yang Tianyou rubbed his chin, picked through his Storage Ring for a while, and took out a piece of ore the size of a human head, with many golden patterns on its surface, which was exceptionally gorgeous.
It still uses the power of the Creation Brush to refine it into a liquid state.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Tianyou tossed his right hand, and the Creation Brush spun rapidly, transforming into a three-zhang-tall azure cauldron.
Yang Tianyou poured the two kinds of Spirit Liquids into the cauldron, and then added many other materials. The Creation Fire rose up, enveloping the materials and slowly refining them.
Five days later, inside the cauldron, the Spirit Liquid formed from various materials had turned into a white-gold color. Yang Tianyou lightly made Mudra and cast out complex runes that shimmered with spiritual light.
This is Weapon Patterns he created himself.
It can directly form the spirit of the talisman Soldier Spirit, which is much stronger than the methods used by established holy lands such as the Seven Stars Sacred Land and the True Martial Sacred Land Sacred Land refine Dao Soldiers.
As time passed, when the last Weapon Patterns disappeared into the platinum Spirit Liquid, a hazy spiritual light appeared. The Spirit Liquid writhed violently and quickly grew various organs, bones, meridians, skin, hair, and so on.
In the end, what remained inside the cauldron was a Feng Lin White Tiger with wings on its back, so lifelike that it was impossible to tell that it was a Talisman Soldier.
At this stage, all that remains is to infuse soul energy to accelerate the evolution of spiritual intelligence.
However, Yang Tianyou has not yet refined Sixth Tier, Upper Grade Revolving Wheel Soul-Gathering Talisman, and does not have any readily available high-level soul energy.
So he had no choice but to take out several Sixth-Tier Low-Grade Revolving Wheel Soul-Gathering Talisman, extract the Soul Liquid from them, and throw them into the cyan cauldron to be calcined with the Creation Fire.
Finally, drops of extremely pure Soul Liquid were extracted, and Yang Tianyou pointed a finger and guided it into the space White Tiger's eyebrows.
With sufficient and pure soul energy, the White Tiger Talisman Soldier's Wisdom grew at a visible rate, and the sense of danger it evoked became increasingly intense.
The biggest difference between Dao Soldiers and Puppets is that the former's ability to fight independently is in no way inferior to that of cultivators of the same level, and may even be stronger.
Puppets are a different story. They can be controlled by the master's Divine Sense, but in a one-on-one battle, their strength drops by at least 50%.
Therefore, the value of Dao Soldier of the same rank and Puppet are completely different.
In terms of status, the two are also vastly different.
Generally speaking, the status of Dao Soldiers in various forces is equivalent to that of ordinary disciples.
It is not uncommon for some veteran Dao Soldiers to hold a status equivalent to that of a sect's Old Ancestor.
The Puppet is no good; it's just a rather precious magical Law Treasure.
Time passed slowly, and when a deep, joyful Chenhu echoed through the Seclusion Chamber, Yang Tianyou successfully forged his first Sixth Tier, Upper Grade Talisman Soldier.
"Greetings, Master!" The White Tiger Talisman Soldier leaped out of the cauldron and prostrated himself on the ground with utmost respect.
Yang Tianyou smiled with satisfaction and said, "Try attacking me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the aura of the White Tiger Talisman Soldier in front of him suddenly changed, transforming from harmless to a terrifying killing intent.
Tear!!
As the tiger's claws swept across, they tore black cracks in space, their power terrifying, no less than that of Late Sage Manifestation expert.
Seeing this, Yang Tianyou was even more satisfied. He gently raised his hand, spread his five fingers as if supporting the sky, and steadily caught the exceptionally sharp tiger claw.
The clang of metal against metal was deafening, sparks flying everywhere. This strike, powerful enough to tear apart Sixth Tier Law Treasure, landed on Yang Tianyou's palm without leaving even a white mark. Clearly, with the advancement of the White Emperor Indestructible Body, Yang Tianyou's Fleshly Body strength had become increasingly terrifying.
"Alright, that's enough!" he said softly. Upon hearing this, the White Tiger immediately stopped what it was doing, lay back down on the ground, and even rolled over to reveal its seemingly soft white belly.
Crouching down, Yang Tianyou stroked the White Tiger's large head and said with a faint smile, "From now on, you'll be called Bai Gang!"
"Thank you for bestowing a name upon me, Master!" Bai Gang was overjoyed and quickly bowed.
During the formation of Bai Gang's Wisdom, Yang Tianyou had already instilled most of the common knowledge of the Cultivation World into his mind, and he knew everything he needed to know.
"Go and guard the entrance!" Yang Tianyou waved his hand, shooing Bai Gang out of the Seclusion Chamber.
Immediately afterwards, he began to refine the second White Tiger Talisman Soldier. Following Bai Gang, thirteen more White Tiger Talisman Soldiers were born in succession.
Although there weren't as many as last time, the quality was clearly a step up.
Three Sixth Tier, Upper Grade; three Sixth Tier, Mid Grade; and eight Sixth-Tier Low-Grade.
With these fourteen newly formed White Tiger Talisman Soldiers, the strength of the Purple Moon Army will once again increase significantly.
"Unfortunately, we don't have enough Weapon Sha Qi, and after refining the White Tiger Talisman Soldier, we don't have much Soul Liquid left." Yang Tianyou sighed helplessly. Without a sufficient supply of Weapon Sha Qi and Soul Liquid, even he, a grandmaster of Talisman Dao, was helpless.
Shaking his head, Yang Tianyou continued to immerse himself in the great work of talisman refining.
Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
With three years remaining until the start of the Fourth Stage of the Realm War, Yang Tianyou emerged from his Seclusion Chamber.
Besides the White Tiger Talisman Soldiers.
In the past two years, he has refined three more Divine Wind Talisman Soldiers, but they are all of the Sixth-Tier Low-Grade, which is enough to contend with a cultivator in the Early Sage Manifestation.
In addition, Yang Tianyou also refined several Sixth Tier, Upper Grade Revolving Wheel Soul-Gathering Talisman and more than a dozen Sixth Tier low-quality Revolving Wheel Soul-Gathering Talisman, waiting for the First-Tier of the war to break out, in order to collect Soul Liquid.
Yang Tianyou also refined quite a few Undying Phoenix Talisman to save his life, including more than a dozen of them at the Sixth Tier.
Over the years, the Yang Household Prodigies and high-ranking members have also faced dangers, but very few have actually perished, and the Undying Phoenix Talisman has played a crucial role in this.
