Spring Bloom Spiritual Vein, Natal Spirit Talisman

Two streams of Black Qi fell from the sky. A young girl picking herbs nearby hastily dropped her basket and shouted, "Grandma, someone's attacking the door again!"

Jiang Ningxue and Xie Zhanrou exchanged glances. A moment later, a woman in military attire, wielding two green steel swords, rushed out. Upon seeing them, she couldn't help but spit and say, "So it's you two sisters. What brings you here today?"

"My attendant has poor eyesight and actually told me that the scoundrel was attacking again. What a joke."

Jiang Ningxue and Xie Zhanrou laughed together, "Grandma Tie, who have you offended? If that person dares to come again, we'll deal with them together."

The three began to reminisce and chat. After a while, the same young girl walked over and said to Chen Ganliu, "Even though you are the junior brother of our two aunties, our Pear Blossom Cave never entertains outside men. I'll take you to stay elsewhere."

Chen Ganliu was a bit curious. Jiang Ningxue and Xie Zhanrou had said they were visiting a friend on the way and had come to Pear Blossom Cave. He casually asked, "Sister, what's your Grandma's background? Why are you on such high alert? Has something happened recently?"

Seeing his friendly demeanor, the young girl smiled and said, "I dare not accept the title of 'sister.' I am just a small demon, unlike you who are high-level cultivators from the Demonic Sect."

"Our Grandma is called the Pear Blossom Lady. Because she has cultivated for so long, the demon kings of the fourteen nearby famous mountains and forty-eight caves all respectfully call her Grandma. She is the original wife of Hun Qilang, the steward of Plum Blossom Mountain."

"Recently, a wild boar demon has been coming here, saying he fancies this cave and our Lady. He wants our Grandma to take Pear Blossom Cave and remarry him as his bandit queen."

"That wild boar demon's skills are quite formidable. Our Grandma has fought him seven or eight times but has never been able to win."

"We've already sent two or three letters to Plum Blossom Mountain, but Master Hun Qilang has not yet returned, so we must endure for now."

Chen Ganliu thought to himself, This steward of Plum Blossom Mountain is probably a bit weak, otherwise, how could he be bullied to his doorstep?

The little girl led him to a cave on the back mountain and handed him a jade token. "This is the talisman for entering and exiting the cave. You can stay here for now."

"This cave was specially opened by our Grandma to entertain guests. Everything is complete, and we've even channeled mountain springs into it. Please rest here, and I'll bring you food tonight."

Chen Ganliu thanked the little girl. As she left, she stomped her foot, and yellow smoke billowed from beneath her feet. Her feet lifted half an inch off the ground, and she floated away as fast as a galloping horse, heading straight for the front cave. Only then did he believe she was a demoness, and a rather skilled one at that.

Chen Ganliu waved the talisman, and the cave's restriction opened. He walked in, and the restriction closed again.

The cave was not large, only about half an acre. It had seven or eight bedrooms and a hall. On one side of the hall, a pool was dug, presumably for some aquatic demon to inhabit. The mountain spring water gurgled in and flowed out from another direction. The water was very clear.

Chen Ganliu chose a soft couch and sat down. He couldn't help but cultivate for a while. When he reached the Heavenly Demon Vein Shifting Method, he first made a talisman, preparing to crush it if anything went wrong to alert his two senior sisters, before refining it.

When it came to the fifth thread of spiritual energy, he had no more reservations and continued refining.

This time, Chen Ganliu was prepared. No matter how this thread of spiritual energy changed, he patiently dealt with it.

About three or four hours passed. The thread of spiritual energy suddenly became lively and darted around inside Chen Ganliu's body. Chen Ganliu remained calm in the face of danger, holding his incantation steady, wanting to see how this thread of spiritual energy would change.

After darting around, the thread of spiritual energy suddenly seemed to find its target and rushed forward, connecting with the only spiritual vein in Chen Ganliu's body.

The thread of spiritual energy melted inch by inch, while the Spring Bloom Spiritual Vein gradually grew. By the time seven or eight tenths of the spiritual energy thread had melted away, the Spring Bloom Spiritual Vein had grown completely, transforming from a Severed Vein into a complete Spiritual Vein.

Chen Ganliu was overjoyed and thought, So it was this spiritual vein. It happens to match the Spring Bloom.

No wonder it was agitated; it sensed my original Severed Vein.

Although most of it was used to nourish the Spring Bloom Spiritual Vein, there was still half a thread of spiritual energy, continuously generating abundant spiritual energy.

Chen Ganliu did not want to waste it. With a thought, he quickly activated the Heart Talisman Technique, continuously drawing Spring Bloom Spirit Talismans. The talismans entered his body and merged with the newly replenished Spring Bloom Spiritual Vein.

With each Spring Bloom Spirit Talisman that entered, the Spring Bloom Spiritual Vein could absorb and release more spiritual energy. With each absorption and release of spiritual energy, the Spring Bloom Spiritual Vein could generate more spirituality. The spirituality fed back into the Spring Bloom Spirit Talismans that had entered the spiritual vein, also causing various wondrous changes.

Chen Ganliu didn't know how many Spring Bloom Spirit Talismans he had drawn. When the last bit of spiritual energy merged with the Spring Bloom Spiritual Vein, the Spring Bloom Spirit Talismans, merged with the spiritual vein, vibrated violently, undergoing a fundamental transformation.

According to Yu Qinghong's guidance, it had already transformed into a Natal Spirit Talisman!

There is one fundamental difference between the Green Leaf Sect's talisman techniques and the Immortal Encounter Sect's talisman arts.

In the Immortal Encounter Sect's talisman arts, one talisman is one spell.

In the Green Leaf Sect's talisman techniques, although each talisman itself has its merits, it cannot form a spell independently. However, when several talismans are used together, spells can be cast. Therefore, disciples of the Green Leaf Sect who have mastered the thirty-six Green Leaf Spirit Talismans can cast over a hundred introductory spells, more than ten times the number mastered by introductory disciples of the Immortal Encounter Sect.

Chen Ganliu formed an incantation and cast it. Using the Spring Bloom Spirit Talisman as the core, a healing talisman was formed. Twelve talismans together, linked up, emitted a wondrous green light. When it landed on his body, even though he had no injuries, he felt extremely comfortable.

Chen Ganliu was overjoyed with this healing spell, thinking, I won't have to fear getting injured anymore. If it's a minor injury, I can probably heal it on the spot.

However, he immediately felt dejected, thinking of his master, Yun Susu. He thought, It's a pity that for extremely severe injuries, the healing spell is useless. Otherwise, why would Master still be in seclusion and not showing any improvement?

The Green Leaf Spirit Talismans I practice are, after all, Daoist methods of the Qi Refining Realm. Master is a great cultivator of the Golden Core Realm, yet she still cannot heal her own injuries. I wonder...

Hmm, I wonder how powerful Master Yao Hanshan's Demonic Cultivation Technique truly is?

Chen Ganliu originally wanted to complain, but he suddenly remembered that he had already taken a second master. He could only suppress those resentful words.

He now had two masters, but he had only met each of them once.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, thinking, I had no fate to take on a master in my previous life, and it seems my luck with taking on masters in this life isn't great either.

Master Yun Susu is injured. I don't know how much lifespan she has left. That Master Yao Hanshan is also injured. I never heard of him appearing again in my past life. What if...

He's gone too?

Keep going, keep going, vote more monthly tickets, I desperately need encouragement...

At this age, I really feel listless every day. Monthly tickets are like readers wishing—Old Toad, if you don't hurry up with the manuscript, we'll mail you razor blades...

It really helps a lot with rushing the manuscript.

More, even more.
