Soul Seizing Yin Talisman

[Black Zombie Skill: Blood Corpse Escape (Novice 0/100)+]

[Blood Corpse Escape · Awakened Corpse Law]

[Myriad laws are not one, some focus on offense, some on defense, while escape laws focus on survival. Upon reaching perfection, one can mobilize thirty percent of Corpse Qi to unleash Blood Corpse Escape, instantly traveling thousands of miles. If a Corpse Qi imprint is left behind, one can escape to the imprinted location. After escaping, Corpse Qi will leave no trace along the path, nor will any aura be left behind. Besides the Corpse Nurturer, each additional person brought along increases Corpse Qi consumption by ten percent! (Current escape distance: two miles.)]

"The Blood Transformation Body can actually awaken Corpse Laws!"

Wen Jiu exclaimed.

He meticulously studied the Blood Corpse Escape, growing more astonished and fond of it the more he read.

Three Rivers Ghost Concealment.

Coupled with this Blood Corpse Escape.

Putting aside other things, purely for retreating and saving his life, no one within the same realm could compare.

Wen Jiu still remembered an old saying: before learning how to fight, learn how to take a hit. The meaning is that you must first be able to withstand damage before you are qualified to face an enemy. Cultivation is the same; at the very least, you must be alive to cultivate, right?

If you can't even survive, everything else is just talk.

"Once the Black Zombie enters the upper realm, combined with the triple Blood Transformation Body, Three Rivers Ghost Concealment, and Blood Corpse Escape..."

Wen Jiu froze.

He dared not imagine.

How strong would the Black Zombie be.

"However, two miles is still not enough. Currently, the distance is two miles, but any Qi Refining third-layer cultivator who can use a sword can reach here in a short while." Without a second thought, Wen Jiu directly upgraded Blood Corpse Escape to the first level.

At this moment, the benefits of accumulating Corpse Qi daily became apparent.

It cost a total of one hundred Corpse Qi.

But Wen Jiu still had 221 points remaining.

[Corpse Qi Balance: 221]
[Black Zombie Skill: Blood Corpse Escape (Level 1 0/500)+]

He glanced at the description for Blood Corpse Escape again.

The two-mile distance had expanded to five miles.

He put away the System Panel.

While Wen Jiu was happy, he was also very realistic.

That was, the Black Zombie was powerful, but he was still very weak.

If the Black Zombie were to be entangled.

Trapped.

What would he do?

What if someone tried to capture the leader first and then deal with the rest? What would he do then?

So, Wen Jiu opened the Yinzhou Corpse Nurturing Method.

After several days of flipping through it, he had memorized all its contents, except for the Yinzhou Corpse Nurturing Art and the Corpse Raising Method.

Wen Jiu also saw a large number of Corpse Laws.

And different types of techniques.

It was very extensive.

And very complex.

Even with the daily settlement panel, time was limited. Wen Jiu currently did not have the time and energy to cultivate everything.

So, after careful consideration.

Wen Jiu chose the Yin Talisman Method.

What is the Yin Talisman Method?

Simply put, it is the art of talismans.

But not normal talismans, but Yin talismans.

The talismans created by normal Talisman Masters, such as the Yin Dispelling Talisman or fire talismans, are all Yang talismans, which are talismans created by legitimate Qi Refining cultivators. However, the Yin Talisman Method can only be drawn by those who practice unorthodox paths.

And they must be individuals who can condense Yin Mana.

Wen Jiu already met this condition.

Of course.

Wen Jiu chose it not because the prerequisite was met, but because it perfectly aligned with his philosophy.

Enrichment.

Again, enrichment.

It was the same effect as the Corpse Eye.

The Corpse Eye contains Yin Mana, which can erupt at critical moments.

But the Yin Talisman technique is about accumulating Yin Talismans. Sell them when you're short on Spirit Stones, and save them when you're not.

It can serve as a foundation!

However, Yin Talismans aren't infinitely usable. If you save a thousand, you can't possibly throw them all out at once.

Because activating a Yin Talisman, just like a Yang Talisman, requires mental power and Mana. Otherwise, how could those second-generation immortals compete?

But no matter what, activating one talisman requires far, far less Mana than casting a spell of equivalent power.

Probably less than a tenth.

"I already have enough means to protect myself. The Yin Talisman technique will focus on offense!" Wen Jiu immediately began to flip through the Yin Talisman Records.

From unranked.

To ranked.

And then to top-tier, mid-grade first-rank Yin Talismans.

A full hundred of them.

The drawing methods and other details recorded were also very complete.

"If I hadn't joined the Night Patrol Division, I don't know when I would have gotten this," Wen Jiu couldn't help but sigh.

After careful consideration, Wen Jiu chose a Yin Talisman that was described the most in the Yin Talisman Records and had the greatest destructive power.

He planned to start his journey into the Yin Talisman technique with it.

But it was likely to have a bad reputation once drawn.

Still.

If it had a bad reputation, so be it.

As long as it didn't interfere with his cultivation plans.

Besides, not many of his fellow disciples treated him, a Corpse Nurturer, kindly right now.

The next morning.

Wen Jiu found Wang Nian.

Because he needed Spirit Stones to buy tools for drawing talismans, and he currently had none, he had to borrow from Wang Nian.

Wang Nian was a bit surprised when he heard Wen Jiu wanted to borrow Spirit Stones. "Brother Wen, why do you suddenly need to borrow Spirit Stones?"

As for Wen Jiu.

He was willing to lend.

No matter how much.

But he was curious.

Wen Jiu didn't hide it, especially since Wang Nian was his creditor. "I plan to take some time to start cultivating the Yin Talisman technique."

"So that's it." Wang Nian wasn't surprised, as if he had expected it. "The most famous technique in the Yin Province Corpse Nurturing Method is the Yin Talisman technique. It's not wrong for you to choose it, and you can even become a Talisman Master and earn Spirit Stones yourself."

"No wonder the Yin Talisman technique has the largest section in the Yinzhou Corpse Nurturing Record that Steward Mu gave me," Wen Jiu realized.

Wang Nian added, "I'll accompany you. You're going to the market to buy talisman drawing tools for the first time, and you might run into people trying to rip you off."

After saying that.

Wang Nian turned and gave the Corpse Buriers half a day off.

This made the Corpse Buriers respect Wen Jiu greatly—it was respect based on status differences before, but now it was heartfelt respect.

Soon.

Wang Nian brought Wen Jiu to the trading market.

They found a small talisman shop, and he bought a set of talisman drawing tools from the old Talisman Master inside. The original price of five low-grade Spirit Stones was haggled down to four by Wang Nian, and the talisman paper, which was supposed to be thirty sheets per Spirit Stone, was also reduced to thirty-five sheets. The old Talisman Master was so angry he was huffing and puffing, and Wang Nian was still cursing as they left.

"Serves you right, kid, for not having entered the path of talismans yet!"

Wang Nian didn't care. Instead, he grinned shamelessly. Clearly, the two had known each other for more than a year or two.

After returning, Wang Nian also helped Wen Jiu move into the house next to his. Wen Jiu found out that Wang Nian had bought the adjacent courtyard.

As a gift for Wen Jiu joining the Night Patrol Division.

Since it didn't cost much, only a few hundred taels, Wen Jiu accepted it readily without refusing.

But he understood.

He owed Wang Nian more and more.

Fortunately, he could repay it in the future, so it wasn't a big deal.

At Mao Shi.

Wen Jiu returned from his night patrol.

He took out a low-grade Monster Beast Talisman Brush and low-grade Monster Blood, then laid out ordinary talisman paper.

After gradually infusing Yin Mana into the talisman brush, Wen Jiu began to draw the talisman, stroke by stroke—it was the Soul Seizing Talisman.

This talisman ranked among the top three in destructive power in the Yin Talisman Records, and first in direct offensive power.

Its highest level could reach top-tier low-grade.

It could kill cultivators at the third layer of top-tier Qi Cultivation.

Even those at the fourth layer of Qi Cultivation would have to retreat.

This was because the Soul Seizing Talisman directly seized the soul of the enemy. A single Yin Talisman could rip out and scatter the opponent's soul, making it a very brutal type of Yin Talisman.

There were no techniques or magic tools that could counter Yin Mana to block it. Those with slightly weaker strength would die instantly upon being struck.

This was also why it worsened Wen Jiu's already poor reputation.

But he had to admit.

Its destructive power was truly strong.

Wen Jiu truly desired it.

To Wen Jiu's surprise, what he thought would be a difficult process of drawing Yin Talismans turned out to be smoother than he had imagined.

Stroke by stroke.

Everything flowed naturally.

The old Talisman Master, Wang Nian, had mentioned that beginners in talisman drawing found it difficult to maintain their mana and control the details when drawing talisman patterns. Wen Jiu, however, felt none of that. The Yin Mana merged with the Monster Blood onto the talisman paper, and everything felt incredibly smooth.

"Could it be that I'm naturally suited for unorthodox paths..." Wen Jiu chuckled helplessly.

He was a genius.

But a genius of the unorthodox path.

"I feel it should also be related to the Yin Mana in my dantian," Wen Jiu concluded after careful analysis.

Because the old Talisman Master had mentioned, and the Yin Talisman Records had also stated, that Yin Mana was difficult to integrate with the drawn talisman patterns.

But for him, it wasn't integration.

It was direct erosion by the Yin Mana.

If it doesn't integrate, it will integrate for me.

Thinking this, Wen Jiu let out a wry smile.

The next morning.

Wang Nian knocked on Wen Jiu's door early, holding his own notes on drawing talismans from over the years.

"Brother Wen, this is my experience drawing talismans over the past two years, and the detours I've taken. You should look through it, and it will definitely help you..." Wang Nian froze. When he opened the door and looked inside, he saw over a dozen successful Yin Talismans on the table.

Although they were only low-grade Yin Talismans.

They were still genuine talismans.

"I..." Wang Nian looked down at the notes he had compiled overnight, feeling at a loss.

It seemed this kid wouldn't need them at all.

Damn it.

Is this kid's talent for unorthodox paths this exaggerated?

I haven't even gotten the hang of it in two years, and this kid got the hang of it overnight!

"Brother Wang," Wen Jiu stepped forward to greet him and reached for the items in Wang Nian's hand, but Wang Nian pulled them back.

Wang Nian said helplessly, "My notes probably won't be of much use to you anymore... Listen to me, go see Steward Mu Canglong more often. Show him your skills and try to get your hands on their family's talisman drawing secrets."

"Huh?"

Wen Jiu looked confused.

Wang Nian didn't explain further, seemingly afraid to speak. "Just listen to me, it'll be right. Show him your skills... Some things are taboo, I can't say them. If I do, I'll be in serious trouble."

Sorry.
