Sealing Talisman
As soon as Lin Xiao approached, he felt a faint, yet increasingly intense, Evil Qi surrounding him.
He immediately stopped in his tracks, not daring to take another step forward.
He guessed that the thing was probably in this strange mountain.
Now he stood by the small lake, close enough to get there.
Without hesitation, he took out the talisman in his hand and activated it instantly using his Spiritual Power as a guide!
A faint, almost imperceptible wave emanated from Lin Xiao and spread outwards in all directions.
Wherever this invisible wave passed, all living things trembled!
Only Lin Xiao, who was at the center holding the talisman, was in good condition.
However, he could also clearly feel that immense and heavy pressure.
So this is what Nascent Soul Cultivator is like!
Lin Xiao couldn't help but gain a slight understanding of the level of Nascent Soul Cultivator.
He recalled the middle-aged man who led the Shangyang Sect recruitment team that he had seen not long ago in Emerald Peak Town.
The feeling he got from that person was far less intense than the pressure from this Nascent Soul cultivator.
Lin Xiao, after considering his current cultivation level, estimated that the person was at most in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
No wonder the spirit ship seemed to be moving slowly and unsteadily back then.
Not long after Liao Pantu Nascent Soul pressure, Lin Xiao clearly felt the surrounding Evil Qi receding like a receding tide.
Before long, the Evil Qi returned to its initial faint state, only spreading within a very small area.
The Evil Qi was contained very tightly near this hilltop, its edge just touching the Grave Mountain of Xiushui Village.
He looked terrified.
As the Evil Qi dissipates, the effect of the Nascent Soul Pressure Talisman also gradually fades.
Although Lin Xiao desperately wanted to rush up and tear the culprit who killed his mother to pieces, he knew that this thing was only currently subdued by the power of Nascent Soul Cultivator.
If he, at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, were to go there, not only would he be unable to avenge his mother, but he would also be essentially handing food to the enemy.
Therefore, for Lin Xiao at this moment, improving his cultivation level as quickly as possible is the most urgent task.
He needed to acquire the strength to fight against the source of this Evil Qi energy before it fully recovered.
Lin Xiao was preparing to return to the village, but he still felt uneasy relying solely on the intimidating aura of the Nascent Soul cultivator.
He glanced back at the dark mountain and thought to himself, "If only I could seal it away."
So he opened the [shop].
On the homepage of the store, the first item in the recommended section is a Earth-Grade Sealing Talisman.
The description above reads:
[Earth-Grade Sealing Talisman, an instant-cast contact Sealing Talisman. It requires physical contact with the target to seal. The sealing duration decreases as the target's cultivation level increases. The user can know the sealing duration the moment the seal is successfully cast. Note that if the target is subjected to a powerful attack during the sealing period, the Sealing Talisman will become ineffective.]
Lin Xiao glanced at the price: seventy-five Spirit Stone.
Not bad, he still has over three hundred Spirit Stone.
Seventy-five Spirit Stone were within his budget, so Lin Xiao immediately bought it.
He felt that it would be best to seal away the source of Evil Qi while it was still under the pressure of the Nascent Soul.
Otherwise, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully at night.
However, this Sealing Talisman requires physical contact to be activated... which is a bit dangerous.
But Lin Xiao decided to give it a try.
Of course, he wouldn't just rush in like that.
Lin Xiao first used Concealment Technique to quietly enter the dark mountain. He figured that since he had the ability to prevent Divine Sense from detecting him, and he had also used Concealment Technique, and that thing had just been intimidated by the pressure, even if its cultivation level was much higher than his, it shouldn't be so easy for it to notice him.
Moreover, this thing is in a weakened state.
Lin Xiao sneaked up to the mountaintop, hid behind a rock wall, and took out the Two Aspects Life and Death Formation from his private treasury.
After placing the Two Aspects Life and Death Formation here, he began to channel Spiritual Power into it.
Now that he is in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, he no longer needs to spend an hour opening up the 108 nodes of this array as he did when he was in the Qi Refining Stage.
Lin Xiao broke through the first node in just two breaths.
It seems that he only needs the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to fully activate this array plate.
It must be said that compared to the Qi Refining Stage, advancing to the Foundation Establishment is truly a qualitative leap.
After an incense stick's time, Lin Xiao successfully activated the Two Aspects Life and Death Formation. He then felt that he could control the formation at will!
The entire formation covers an area of approximately 100 meters in radius!
A giant Yin-Yang diagram was faintly forming at the center.
Currently, only Lin Xiao can see this image.
There are nine gates of life and ninety-nine gates of death, surrounding each other in layers, all quietly waiting for Lin Xiao to control them.
He could clearly sense that as long as he put in one hundred Spirit Stone, the Two Aspects Life and Death Formation would immediately activate, and then, under his control, he could manipulate the life and death of any creature that fell into it.
Thus, Lin Xiao felt his confidence greatly increased, and he planned to flee here if the seal failed.
If we can lure that thing into this formation, we might be able to kill it!
So, Lin Xiao bought another set of Child-Mother Talisman and Teleportation Talisman from the mall.
He placed the Mother Talisman on the array plate.
That way, if he can't catch up on his own, he can use Teleportation Talisman to get there.
With all preparations complete, Lin Xiao finally crept quietly toward the source of the Evil Qi.
Lin Xiao carefully stepped into the crater that resembled a volcano.
He stood on a rock wall and looked down. He saw that the huge pit had almost hollowed out the entire mountain. He stood at the edge of the pit, and the bottom was more than a hundred meters away from him!
At the very bottom of this pit was a pool of ink-black liquid.
The surface of the liquid was perfectly calm, without a ripple, like a black mirror.
It's impossible to tell how deep it is.
He wasn't sure if the black liquid was the true form of that Evil Qi spirit.
So he used the most ordinary method.
He threw down a stone the size of a fist.
The expected scene of the stone falling into the black liquid with a splash did not occur. Instead, the stone landed on the black liquid with a thud and stuck to it.
Lin Xiao was somewhat disappointed that he couldn't explore what was inside the liquid.
But the next moment!
But then he suddenly saw a vertical pupil, as black as ink, slowly open above the pitch-black liquid!
Those vertical pupils merely glanced indifferently at the falling rock; their seemingly calm gaze was filled with a chilling intent.
That vertical pupil casually glanced in Lin Xiao's direction, and with just one look, Lin Xiao felt a chill run down his spine.
He involuntarily broke out in goosebumps all over his body, but he remained perfectly calm.
