True Monarch Yi Yuan
After Yan Bingxuan finished her performance, she casually took a cup of coffee and left.
Chen Mobai escorted her to the entrance of the training gym, then, thinking that he couldn't waste the two hours, he returned to the Spell Field and began practicing the Ice Spell according to the key points she had explained.
With Yan Bingxuan's transfer of spiritual power, and through personal experience, he has come to understand how to transform the Five Elements Technique spiritual power into Ice Spiritual Power. The only problem now is to grasp the moment when that burst of Ice Spiritual Power takes shape.
Even if you understand the key points, mastering the subtle moment when a Ice Breath is about to be released still requires constant and diligent practice.
Too fast, and it will cause frostbite to the Twelve Layers of the Tower; too slow, and it won't achieve the desired freezing effect.
After more than an hour of hard practice, Chen Mobai returned home, feeling hoarse and almost unable to speak.
He bought a dozen pear syrups at a Great Medicine Hall on the way home, and after returning home, he mixed them with warm water and drank half a bottle in one go. The next day, he felt a little better in his throat.
Upon going outside, sure enough, there was a huge package.
The shopkeeper of the Wood Spirit Talisman Shop sent it via same-city express delivery. After Chen Mobai opened it, he saw that four or five hundred Talisman were placed in transparent Plastic Box according to different types, and he couldn't help but admire the shopkeeper's thoughtfulness.
He put the low-to-mid-level Talisman into his backpack, and then carefully placed the eleven top-grade first-level Talisman into the inner pocket of the chest panel of his ancient-style suit.
Finally, Chen Mobai turned his attention to the only sealed Talisman.
Second Grade, low-grade, Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman!
This single Talisman is worth 50,000 Merit Points, the most expensive thing he has ever bought since he became wealthy.
Chen Mobai opened the instruction manual that the shopkeeper had provided and read it carefully, word by word.
The activation method of this "Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman" is the same as that of ordinary Talisman, except that it consumes slightly more spiritual energy for Qi Cultivation Cultivator. The shopkeeper has conducted experiments, and it is found that for Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer cultivator, activating this talisman will draw nearly half of their spiritual energy.
Chen Mobai already knew this, since it was mentioned in the product description.
Just in case, he also bought 5 Revival Talisman, so he wouldn't be at a disadvantage in Spell Duel due to insufficient spiritual power.
Chen Mobai carefully placed the laminated "Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman" into the pocket inside his sleeve, and his sense of security greatly increased.
I called my mom and told her that I bought a monthly pass at a fitness center. I'll be spending all my time there with some ambitious classmates lately, honing my magical skills.
Tang Pancui also knew that the entrance exam for the Daoist Academy this year was Spell Duel, so she naturally supported her son's decision and even gave him 1,000 Merit Points, telling him not to be stingy.
Chen Mobai immediately refused, knowing that his family was also struggling financially. He told his mother that the gym had a monthly membership that included food, lodging, and showers, so there was no need for any additional Merit Points work.
After everything was ready, he teleported to the Sky River Realm with his backpack full of Talisman and elixirs.
Amidst the shimmering silver light, Chen Mobai opened his eyes and, seeing the familiar wooden walls of the house, breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he had tested, Turtle Treasure returned to the same city he had returned to before, and the next time he teleported, it would anchor at that same location. Although the pattern was very simple, this was still Chen Mobai's first time teleporting back from a crowded place, and he was a little nervous, afraid of being noticed.
He went out and looked around. His cheapest, low-lying, auspiciously located place was still occupied by only him, which put his mind at ease.
In the days that followed, Chen Mobai practiced his Ice Spell while setting up a stall on Green Light Island to sell Talisman. He also inquired about which direction of Cloud Dream Marsh was the best place for him to practice his skills against the Demon Beast.
Thanks to the monks here's expertise in appraising Talisman, his business is thriving.
Grade 1 Low Rank Talisman costs 200 taels of gold in South Stream Market, but can be sold for 300 taels here; a first-grade mid-level Green Arrow Talisman and Wood Armor Talisman can also be sold for 2,000 taels of gold here.
As for the first-grade high-quality Talisman, he doesn't plan to sell them for the time being.
After all, his business was so good that it had already attracted the attention of his peers in the market. He planned to first cultivate the low-to-mid-level market. These Talisman were all traded for gold, and those Qi Cultivation Cultivator with backgrounds were basically too lazy to earn such a small amount of money.
While setting up his stall, Chen Mobai wrote the name and price of each Talisman on a piece of cloth, then sat on a small stool he had made from a wooden stump. When a customer came in to ask about the price, he would point directly to the cloth, then point to his throat, cough twice, indicating that his throat was injured and he couldn't speak.
And so, while drinking pear syrup to soothe his frostbitten throat, he began reading the book "The Chronicle of the True Monarch Yi Yuan Subduing Dragons in the Cloud Dream Great River" that Lu Shu had given him.
This is a palm-sized book, specifically designed to pass the time.
It describes the last Spirit Transmutation Completion Cultivator to the Ascend to Upper Realm in the last ten thousand years of the Sky River Realm, the True Monarch Yi Yuan.
In the Sky River Cultivation World, the Primordial Era is now used as the calendar.
The year that True Monarch Yi Yuan ascended to heaven is taken as the Primordial Era, which is exactly 6478 years ago. Before this True Monarch, Cloud Dream Marsh was not the vast Water Marsh it is today, but a continuous range of mountains, known as the "Cloud Dream Great River," Spirit Land of nearly Sixth Order.
At that time, the one that occupied this Cloud Dream Great River was a Fifth Order Yellow Dragon Demon Beast.
This Demon Beast not only possesses the bloodline of True Dragon, but is also at the Nascent Soul level. Even if Spirit Transformation Cultivator of the same realm were to face it, they would lose nine out of ten times.
When the True Monarch Yi Yuan Qi Refining, he was training in the Cloud Dream Great River when he saw the humans being ravaged by Demon Beast slaves. He was furious and took action, but he was no match for them and was seriously injured. Fortunately, he fell into the ruins of Ancient Cultivator and obtained a great opportunity.
A thousand years later, the True Monarch Yi Yuan Spirit Transformation Perfection. Before Undergo Tribulation, he single-handedly charged into the Cloud Dream Great River with his sword.
After slaying eighteen Fourth Grade Nascent Soul level Demon Beast, he fought the Yellow Dragon Demon Lord for seven days and seven nights, shattering the Cloud Dream Great River into a vast expanse of Water Marsh. He then spared no effort to expend his vital energy and unleash heaven-defying immortal techniques to subdue the Fifth Order Demon Beast, and finally Dragon Riding Ascension.
The little book that Lu Shu gave to Chen Mobai tells this story.
After reading it, Chen Mobai had only one thought.
The existence of the Earth Origin Star must never be known to the Sky River Realm.
Throughout the history of Earth Origin Star, although many Spirit Transmutation Ancestor have emerged, none have had a detailed record of ascension. At most, they reached the pinnacle of cultivation and explored the Infinity void of the Great Void Starry Sky.
From this perspective, although the Immortal Sect has two Spirit Transmutation Ancestor in charge, its overall strength may not be as good as that of the Sky River Realm.
Unfortunately, there were no books about the Cultivation World outside the Eastern Wasteland for sale in the market. It was said that only the Seven Great Sects and the Great Merchant Guild had these. Chen Mobai could only lament that the transmission of information in this world was too outdated.
If this were on Earth Origin Star, he could tell how high the sky was, how thick the earth was, and how much territory the Immortal Sect had with just a flick of his finger.
