In Green Luo, dawn had yet to break, and stars still filled the night.
That morning, Liu Xiaowen would leave with Zhang Yu for the Eastern Sea to search for Zhang Yu's wife.
Candlelight flickered as Xu Xuan sat at his desk, taking stock of the items he had bought for Xiao Wen's long journey.
Xu Xuan had paid a steep price for three precious Foundation Establishment talismans in Jade Glass Market and Du Wang City. They had cost him quite a few Foundation Establishment Spirit Treasures, leaving the sect's treasury considerably emptier.
The [Azure Cloud Escape Talisman] could turn its user into an azure cloud and carry them far away in an instant, at a speed comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator skilled in escape techniques. It could be used three times and was a life-saving Grand Talisman.
The [Essence-Burning Talisman] could borrow a wisp of Dao fire to raise a sea of flames, with considerable killing power. Once unleashed, it was difficult for Qi Refining cultivators to withstand, though it had little effect against Foundation Establishment cultivators and could only hinder them slightly. It could be used twice.
The [Yin Nourishing Body Talisman] protected the cultivated body and healed injuries, providing the equivalent of treatment from a Foundation Establishment cultivator versed in healing and nourishment, such as one cultivating "Gui Water" or "Ji Earth." It could be used three times and could mend any bodily injury short of a shattered Qi Sea.
As for the remaining cultivation supplies, Xu Xuan had prepared them long ago. They were roughly enough to support Xiao Wen through the Qi Refining Ninth Level and were packed inside a ring-shaped Mustard Seed Object.
With a turn of his hand, he took out a jade slip and two spirit pearls-the gifts from Zhang Yu.
