Dragon Scale Sword

Refining a Natal Spirit Tool at the Foundation Establishment Stage posed no difficulty at all for Bai Yuan, who had mastered the Five Elements Array.

Under the Five Elements Dao Fire of the Five Elements Array, the Silver Dragon King's two scales transformed into the purest killing aura and death aura.

In the end, through various Artifact Refining methods, they fused separately with two longswords, becoming a vicious sword bearing peerless killing intent and a sword of death filled with an ominous aura.

The vicious sword was crimson as blood. An ordinary person would die with their mind invaded by killing intent from merely laying eyes on it.

The death sword was black as ink, giving off a deathly stillness. Any being below God Level that was wounded by it would be gradually eroded by death aura and swiftly lose its life force.

The only thing the two longswords had in common was the dragon-scale patterns engraved upon them, which looked exceptionally beautiful.

Bai Yuan manipulated the spiritual power within his body and sprayed a mouthful of blood over the two longswords.

As the blood fused with the Kill Sword and Death Sword, Bai Yuan immediately felt as though the two swords had become extensions of his limbs.

With a thought, the Kill Sword and Death Sword vanished and entered Bai Yuan's body, where they were tempered by his Spiritual Qi and Spiritual Sense.

"From now on, you are the Dragon Scale Swords."

Bai Yuan was very satisfied. With these Dragon Scale Swords forged from God Level materials, even though he was only at the Foundation Establishment Initial stage, he could contend with cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage or even the late stage.

But now that Di Tian was acting as his bodyguard, even if his injuries had yet to fully recover, he was still strong enough to pin down and beat the three Peerless Douluo of this era.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully refining a Natal Spirit Tool. Reward: Intermediate Artifact Refiner, one thousand Master Virtue Points."

A vast amount of knowledge flooded into Bai Yuan's mind.

Yet before long, it also felt as if a great deal of time had passed. He found that the knowledge had become exceedingly familiar, as though he had already put it into practice thousands upon thousands of times.

Slowly opening his eyes, Bai Yuan had become an Intermediate Artifact Refiner from this moment onward.

Without even looking at the system panel, Bai Yuan already knew what his next task would be.

He took out the various materials he had prepared long ago.

Bai Yuan began drawing talismans again.

Drawing talismans was a craft that came with practice.

As a Beginner Talisman Master, Bai Yuan was naturally quite proficient, but what he needed to draw now was a Foundation Establishment Stage Talisman Paper.

Thus, Bai Yuan failed again and again, wasting one batch of materials after another, yet never managing to draw the Lightning Attraction Talisman.

Finally, after dozens of attempts, a flash of inspiration suddenly crossed Bai Yuan's mind. As though divinely aided, he drew a complete Lightning Attraction Talisman.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully drawing a Foundation Establishment Stage spirit talisman. Reward: Intermediate Talisman Master, one thousand Master Virtue Points."

That strange sensation surfaced in his mind again.

Watching from the side, Di Tian felt utterly shocked.

Di Tian naturally knew that his lord's scales contained terrifying power, but he did not dare draw upon that power at all.

It could very likely lead to a situation where he injured the enemy by a thousand only to harm himself by eight hundred. Yet Bai Yuan had used methods he could not understand to turn those two powers to his own use in just a few moves.

What Di Tian found even more unbelievable was Bai Yuan's talisman paper. It was clearly made of nothing but ordinary things, yet after Bai Yuan casually drew on it, it contained a peculiar power.

It was simply absurd.

"Bai Yuan, what does this piece of paper do?" Di Tian revealed himself and asked with mild curiosity.

Bai Yuan merely smiled without answering. He walked to the window, opened it, pinched the Lightning Attraction Talisman between two fingers, and tossed it outside.

The talisman paper shot out at incredible speed. Everything seemed perfectly normal, and just as Di Tian was growing puzzled—

A flash of white light streaked across heaven and earth. With a deafening BOOM, the talisman paper turned to ashes amid lightning, while another small crater over ten meters wide appeared in the already sunken ground.

Bai Yuan explained, "This is a Lightning Attraction Talisman. It can draw down natural lightning, and it works even better on rainy days."

Di Tian stared in astonishment.

A few ordinary items, drawn on a little, could unleash power sufficient to heavily injure ordinary Soul Beasts with ten to twenty thousand years of cultivation?

If it were drawn using special materials instead, would that not be incredible?

After thinking for a moment, Di Tian cautiously asked, "Bai Yuan, can only you use this thing, or...?"

Bai Yuan smiled faintly. "How could only I use it? Anyone can use this kind of second-tier talisman paper. Even an ordinary person with no cultivation can use it by using their own Essence Blood as a catalyst."

The power of talisman paper did not originate from its user. A portion came from the materials used when drawing it, but the vast majority came from heaven and earth.

The essence of talisman paper was to use the talisman and the tiny bit of power contained within it to leverage World Force for one's own use.

Therefore, using talisman paper only required a trace of spiritual power. An ordinary person's Essence Blood actually contained a tiny amount of innate qi, so it could replace that trace of spiritual power.

Of course, once the quality of the talisman paper became high enough, the little power within an ordinary person's Essence Blood would no longer be enough to serve as the catalyst.

Di Tian's mouth fell open. Ordinary people could use them too?

In other words, even an ordinary person holding such a sheet of paper might be able to kill a Soul Beast with ten thousand years of cultivation?

He found it utterly unbelievable.

But several seconds later, Di Tian's expression returned to calm.

After all, judging by Bai Yuan's earlier performance, he could draw at most a dozen or so in a day, and that was only with ample materials and energy.

So Di Tian calmed down again.

Bai Yuan had no idea about Di Tian's inner thoughts. He picked up the materials once more and began drawing again.

This talisman was clearly much more complicated than the previous Lightning Attraction Talisman, yet Bai Yuan appeared completely at ease.

After becoming an Intermediate Talisman Master, Bai Yuan could now draw every type of second-tier talisman paper on his own.

Simply put, Bai Yuan's attainment in talisman drawing was now on a completely different level from before.

"What talisman is it this time?" Di Tian asked.

"Sky Flame Starfall Talisman," Bai Yuan answered, and the final stroke of his hand fell at precisely that moment.

Di Tian could clearly sense that this talisman paper was not one of the previous failed products. Like the earlier one, it was a successful talisman.

"Let me see it," Di Tian said.

Bai Yuan casually handed it over.

Di Tian immediately moved to throw it outside.

Bai Yuan stopped him. "It needs spiritual power to activate it. You don't have spiritual power right now, so you can only use Essence Blood."

Di Tian froze for a moment, then immediately forced a drop of Essence Blood from his fingertip and fused it with the Sky Flame Starfall Talisman.

At once, the talisman paper began burning.

Di Tian casually tossed it out.

The talisman paper turned to ash in midair, and dozens—perhaps over a hundred—fireballs one or two meters wide appeared out of nowhere, trailing tails like meteors as they crashed toward the ground.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

After a round of violent bombardment, the ground within a radius of one to two hundred meters was riddled with craters.

This strike could kill Soul Beasts with seventy or eighty thousand years of cultivation!

Di Tian stared dumbfounded. The Sky Flame Starfall Talisman was dozens of times more powerful than the Lightning Attraction Talisman.

Just moments ago, Bai Yuan had needed to make dozens or even hundreds of mistakes while drawing the Lightning Attraction Talisman, yet he had drawn the Sky Flame Starfall Talisman successfully in one attempt?

Di Tian turned back to look, only to see that Bai Yuan had already placed nine Sky Flame Starfall Talismans beside him and was drawing other types of talisman paper.

Di Tian: ???
