" Brother Chen, do you possess such an exquisite spaceship? Are you a talisman master?"
On the way to the search, Nangong Tong couldn't help but strike up a conversation with Chen Mu out of curiosity.
"Yes! My major is talisman mastery, and I also know a little about formations."
Chen Mu frankly told him.
" Brother Chen, I must remind you, you should use the spiritual materials and Spirit Stone you carry sparingly."
"Once you run out of resources, whether you're a talisman master or an array master, you'll be useless."
Nangong Tong kindly reminded her.
"Oh? How do you know it won't work?"
Chen Mu smiled and said.
"Of course! Without spiritual materials, how can talisman masters make Spirit Stone? How can array masters build arrays?"
Nangong Tong raised her head and said matter-of-factly.
Nangong Ya couldn't help but glance at Chen Mu. She had thought that after staying here for one night, Chen Mu would have realized the problem of scarce resources here, but it seemed that things were not as she had imagined.
"Young Master Chen, Little Tong said makes perfect sense."
Spirit Stone and materials are extremely precious here, and their appearance will inevitably attract competition from others.
If Wang Yu finds out about you, he'll definitely try to steal your things. You'd better be careful.
Nangong Ya didn't say was that if Chen Mu hadn't displayed such formidable strength upon his arrival, she might have also tried to rob Chen Mu of his belongings.
After all, in this isolated place, the law of the jungle prevails.
"Haha, indeed, for ordinary talisman masters, without spiritual materials, they simply cannot unleash the power of talismans."
But I'm different. I'm Battle Talisman Master. I can unleash powerful talisman spells without using any spiritual materials.
Chen Mu laughed heartily, quite pleased with himself.
His Runic Body is one of his proudest achievements to date, and he feels genuinely proud when he mentions it.
"What is Battle Talisman Master? I don't think I've ever heard of one."
Nangong Ya became interested and listened attentively.
As the patriarch of the Ancient Desolate Remnant Clan, she had been closely monitoring the situation outside, but she had never heard of this term before.
"The path of cultivation for Battle Talisman Master is one I created myself. Currently, I am the only one who truly embodies the spirit of Battle Talisman Master."
Chen Mu said proudly.
Nangong Ya was stunned and speechless for a long time.
At that moment, her mindset was like that of a student on Earth who claimed to have created a new discipline—she felt utterly absurd.
Seeing that he was not very old, Chen Mu absolutely did not believe that someone so young could create his own path of cultivation, but she did not want to expose him directly, so she remained silent.
" Brother Chen, can you really cast spells without using any spiritual materials?"
Nangong Tong didn't think that much about it; she was only interested in Chen Mu's true combat strength.
"Yes! You see."
Chen Mu gently pushed his palm forward, and a green light flashed, causing the trees in front of him to grow several meters taller immediately.
"This is a ' All Things Meet Spring Talisman '; it can heal and also help trees grow."
He then made a gesture like an orchid and flicked his finger.
With a loud thud, the tree in front snapped in two.
"This is a ' Space-Breaking Talisman,' which utilizes spatial power and has strong single-target damage."
Nangong Tong's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.
"You really don't use any spiritual materials at all when you use these talismans?"
Nangong Ya, standing beside her, also put away her disdain. Whether it was self-created or not was unimportant. If it really didn't require consuming spiritual materials to cast talismans, then perhaps she could learn it too?
"No need! To be precise, when I was cultivating the Runic Body, the spiritual materials had already transformed my body, so I can use rune techniques without consuming any more spiritual materials."
"Can we cultivate ourselves into Battle Talisman Master?"
Nangong Tong asked expectantly.
Chen Mu glanced at Nangong Tong and nodded.
"There are many ways to cultivate as Battle Talisman Master. If you don't have enough spiritual materials, you can still cultivate with a single spiritual material, but it may not be as powerful as mine."
Furthermore, I still have a considerable reserve of spiritual materials in my storage ring, enough to supply a dozen or so people with the ability to cultivate their Runic Body without any problem.
" Brother Chen, how about I become your apprentice and you teach me to become a Battle Talisman Master?"
Although Nangong Tong is simple-minded, she is not stupid at all, and she seized the opportunity to become an apprentice.
Chen Mu stopped and glanced at Nangong Tong.
"Cultivating into Battle Talisman Master is no easy feat; one must learn a great deal about Dao of Talismans. Are you sure?"
"No problem, hehe, Master, please accept my bow!"
Without saying a word, Nangong Tong knelt down.
Chen Mu didn't refuse and readily agreed.
"Alright, from today onwards you are my disciple. After we return, I will teach you the cultivation methods of Battle Talisman Master."
He had always wanted to take on more disciples to help him expand his Rune Research Institute.
However, cultivating the Divine Soul is too difficult. People like Chen Ju and Chen Xuejun don't know when they will be able to break through to the Solid Realm. Now, they have to do most of the work at the Rune Research Institute themselves.
Now that Nangong Tong is willing to become his disciple and possesses powerful Divine Soul cultivation, he naturally couldn't be happier.
Nangong Ya watched from the sidelines, and she was actually quite tempted, but as the head of the clan, she had many things to consider, so she didn't express her opinion for the time being.
The three continued forward, and after a while, Chen Mu was the first to notice the anomaly.
"There are signs of a battle over there, let's go."
Chen Mu formed a hand seal and bestowed a Light Body Talisman upon both Nangong Ya and Nangong Tong.
Whoosh...!
He harnessed the surrounding wind, propelling the two women beside him to new heights as they charged toward the location marked by signs of battle.
"Over there!"
As he advanced, Chen Mu heard the sounds of battle and hurried toward his destination.
"Witch! If you are willing to submit to me, I may spare your life!"
Otherwise, there would be no place for you in this Ancient Desolate Mining Area.
A burly middle-aged man stood in mid-air, continuously firing balls of Spiritual Power from his hands, sending dust and rocks flying from the surrounding mountains and trees.
Below, Mingye's figure flickered back and forth, dodging the middle-aged man's attacks while also dealing with the siege of three other powerful figures.
" Mingye! Come here."
Chen Mu sensed Mingye's presence and quickly used his Divine Soul to send a telepathic message to her, telling her to flee in his direction.
The moment Mingye heard the telepathic message, he was completely stunned.
She had thought that she was the only one trapped in the mining area; she never expected that Chen Mu would also be there.
boom!!
A violent explosion rang out, and a powerful ball of Spiritual Power blasted a huge crater three or four meters wide where Mingye was standing, the dust rising up obscuring everyone's vision.
" Mingye!"
Worried about Mingye's safety, Chen Mu had no choice but to abandon the two women beside him, activate his Instant Movement Talisman, and teleport forward.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, Chen Mu appeared beside the pit. A moment later, he was relieved to see Mingye emerge from the pit unharmed.
