Basic Essence Refining and Spirit Manifestation Method

The two people who sent out the Signal Talisman stared at everything in shock. The Weirdness that had been a huge threat to them was resolved so easily by Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi indifferently put away the Han Guang and said to the two people before him, "Take your fallen teammate back first."

The stunned duo finally reacted. After thanking Zhou Yi, they helped up their teammate and walked towards the village entrance.

Zhou Yi stood in place and opened his status panel.

Name: Zhou Yi
Race: Human (10%)
Vitality: 5
Spirit: 1.2
Cultivation Methods: Tongming Record (Mastered), Primordial Pile (Mastered)
Techniques: Body Refining, Blade Arts, Footwork, Other
Yin Energy: 153
Qi: Qi (5)

The Weirdness from just now had increased Zhou Yi's Yin Energy by 100 points. If the strength of Weirdness was judged by Yin Energy, this peach demon was about the same as the scarecrow back then.

Both were within the Soul Grade range, but it was still a notch weaker than a ghost infant.

Now, Soul Grade Weirdness no longer posed a threat to him. However, Zhou Yi had never fought against Crimson Grade Weirdness before, so he wasn't sure if Crimson Grade Weirdness could pose a threat to him.

Zhou Yi opened the Body Refining Techniques section of his panel. The three Body Refining Techniques all now indicated they could be fused.

The Weirdness from just now had increased his Yin Energy by 100 points. Now, he could try to fuse what he had learned.

Zhou Yi used his thoughts to try and fuse the Jade Lock Skill with the other two Body Refining Techniques. The panel did not disappoint him this time. Yin Energy rapidly disappeared as the three techniques quickly fused together. After a flash of white light, only one unknown technique remained. Zhou Yi's Yin Energy was also reduced to single digits.

The cultivation realm of the technique regressed from Mastered to Great Accomplishment. However, it still increased Zhou Yi's Vitality by one point, equivalent to a one-fifth increase in Vital Energy.

"It seems fusing a cultivation method costs fifty points of Yin Energy," Zhou Yi deduced the consumption pattern of Yin Energy.

"Since it's a new technique synthesized from Body Refining Techniques, why not call it the Indestructible Golden Body?" As soon as Zhou Yi finished speaking, the unknown technique on the panel abruptly changed to Indestructible Golden Body.

After finishing the fusion, Zhou Yi stood quietly in place, waiting for the two patrol members to return.

"I hope to encounter more Weirdness tonight so my Indestructible Golden Body can level up. I wonder if, after fusing enough, it will truly become the legendary Divine Ability?" Zhou Yi thought to himself.

Just as Zhou Yi was contemplating, the two patrol members rushed back to the location.

Seeing them return, Zhou Yi nodded to them, signaling them to continue their patrol, while he returned to the village entrance.

Zhou Yi waited until dawn, but there was no sign of any Signal Talisman.

"It seems there will be no more Yin Energy gains tonight," Zhou Yi thought. It made sense; if there were so many Weirdness every day, no one would be willing to be a patrol member.

Only after the sun began to rise did the patrol members start returning to the village entrance one after another. After Qu Yong finished taking the headcount, everyone began to disperse.

After dispersing, Zhou Yi returned to his home, planning to rest for two hours before going to find Old Qin to learn Talisman Spells.

After waking up, Zhou Yi felt refreshed. After all, even the Vitality Realm required rest. Although the time was short, it was enough for Zhou Yi to recover his spirit.

Zhou Yi then went to Old Qin's residence. Led by a servant, he arrived at Old Qin's study.

Old Qin was currently standing at his desk, engrossed in drawing a Talisman Spell. Zhou Yi stood quietly by the side, not wanting to disturb him.

After waiting for a while, Old Qin finally finished drawing the Talisman Spell and shifted his gaze from the Talisman Paper to Zhou Yi.

"You're here. Wait for me a moment." After speaking, Old Qin turned and took two books from the bookshelf, handing them to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi took the two books. One was the Compendium of Talismans, and the other was the Basic Essence Refining and Spirit Manifestation Method.

Seeing Zhou Yi take the books, Old Qin said, "Talisman Spells are divided into five grades: Yellow, Blue, Purple, Silver, and Gold. The materials and creation methods for each grade are different."

"If your spirit is insufficient, and you forcefully attempt to draw a Talisman Spell above your current realm, you might be lucky if the Talisman Paper self-destructs. If you're unlucky, you'll suffer mental derangement."

"Talisman Masters are also divided into five ranks based on Talisman Spells: Talisman Master, Grand Talisman Master, Refining Master, Heavenly Master, and True Man."

"That Basic Essence Refining and Spirit Manifestation Method is for increasing spiritual power."

Zhou Yi listened and flipped through the two books in his hands. The names of the two books immediately appeared in the 'Other' category of his panel, but Zhou Yi's Yin Energy was insufficient for an upgrade.

Old Qin saw Zhou Yi flipping through the books and asked him, "If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me. You can take these two books back to study first."

Zhou Yi asked Old Qin, "Old Qin, can you draw Blue Talisman Spells?"

Old Qin shook his head at Zhou Yi and said, "Although I have some talent in the way of Talisman Spells, it's not enough for me to draw Blue Talisman Spells. You must know that being able to draw Blue Talisman Spells is enough to be called a Grand Talisman Master. Even in Luoshi City, Grand Talisman Masters are extremely rare."

Old Qin looked at Zhou Yi and said earnestly, "Although there are powerful Talisman Spells in the way of Talisman Spells, those powerful ones require at least a Grand Talisman Master to draw them. The Yellow Talisman Spells drawn by Talisman Masters mostly have auxiliary effects."

"The research into the way of Talisman Spells consumes a great deal of spirit. You should focus your efforts on the martial path, as that is the current mainstream."

Old Qin didn't know about the existence of his panel, but he was looking out for Zhou Yi's best interests. Therefore, Zhou Yi earnestly replied to Old Qin, "This junior understands."

Old Qin waved his hand at Zhou Yi and said, "Alright, take the books back and memorize them. Come back and ask me if you don't understand anything."
