Chapter 106: Soaring to the Skies
“Can I use talismans instead of spirit stones?”
Seeing Senior Sister Leng Tian’s brow furrow, Jiang Hao continued, “For five spirit stones less than the market price.”
“What kind of talismans?” Leng Tian asked.
“Healing Talisman and Hundred Thousand Swords Talisman,” Jiang Hao replied.
“Deal,” Leng Tian said without hesitation.
Jiang Hao also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was effectively giving her a higher price, being able to save so spirit stones was good.
In the end, he paid 1,500 spirit stones, along with ten Healing Talismans and ten Hundred Thousand Swords Talismans.
After that, his inventory was almost depleted.
Fortunately, he still had 600 spirit stones left.
He wasn’t sure how much it would cost to make the Thousand Li Teleportation Talisman.
“That talisman is yours now, Junior Brother, but there’s sothing I need to remind you of.”
Fairy Leng Tian kindly said, “We went through a lot of trouble to obtain this item, and although we don’t know exactly what it is, there’s a very high chance it’s an incredibly valuable treasure. It’s fine if you use it for yourself, but if you decide to sell it, you must be careful. It could easily bring disaster upon you.”
“An incredibly valuable treasure?” Jiang Hao feigned surprise.
“Then why would Senior Sister sell it to ?”
“One can have the luck to obtain it, but not necessarily the luck to sell it.”
Leng Tian said with a self-deprecating smile, and continued, “Two thousand spirit stones is already quite enough for us. If it were a complete talisman, we wouldn’t be so worried, but half a talisman is too dangerous. It’s actually safer to let it go. Greed can sotis be one’s undoing, Junior Brother, so you should restrain yourself.”
“Of course, if Junior Brother can gain great benefits from this talisman, that would be your good fortune, and it has nothing to do with us.”
Jiang Hao stood up and bowed his head in gratitude, “Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister.”
“It’s what I should do,” Leng Tian smiled and didn’t linger.
As she was leaving, she noticed a rabbit hanging from a tree, upside down like a bat.
“Junior Brother’s spirit pet is quite extraordinary,” Leng Tian said with an awkward smile, having never seen such a spirit pet before.
Jiang Hao also chuckled dryly; this rabbit was not sothing to be proud of.
After Leng Tian took her leave, Jiang Hao hesitated but decided to visit the Spiritual dicine Garden in the afternoon.
At noon, he wanted to unlock the inheritance and see the specifics.
If he could make the talisman before the Xuantian Sect arrived, it would give him more options.
Given the level of cultivation he had shown, the most he could be pursued by was a Golden Core.
And he was about to reach the Golden Core completion, so perhaps there really was a chance for survival.
But this was a last resort, to be considered when the ti ca.
“Master, why are you so popular with the ladies?” the rabbit asked curiously as it landed on the ground.
“You must be mistaken,” Jiang Hao replied.
Aside from Senior Sister Leng Tian, who was a regular custor, the others were either traitors or spies.
“Could one of these people beco a mistress?” the rabbit inquired.
“No,” Jiang Hao stated with certainty.
“Then who will be the mistress?” the rabbit asked, full of curiosity.
A flash of red crossed Jiang Hao’s mind, but he did not speak.
Although it was unlikely, as long as he was afflicted with the Tianjue Yang Gu poison, no other woman was possible.
Now, even if he had the ability to remove the poison, he wouldn’t because the benefits outweighed the drawbacks.
With his current state of mind, he could only rely on the Tianjue Gu poison.
With the poison in him, he had no worldly desires and could completely ignore ntal attacks, especially charm techniques.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hao shook his head and sighed, sotis feeling the price was too heavy.
Without dwelling on it any further, he turned and went back inside the house.
He prepared a stone slab, clean water, and a brush, then began to ditate to stabilize his mind, waiting for noon to arrive.
At noon, Jiang Hao stood in front of the table, picked up the brush, and dipped it in so clean water.
He activated the divine ability Clear Heart and Pure Mind.
The identification process required a clear and serene state of mind, which Jiang Hao couldn’t achieve on his own, so he relied on the divine ability.
He hoped it would be enough.
Then he began to draw, carefully tracing the talisman. He didn’t dare to relax even slightly, fearing a single mistake.
He had actually tried several tis already; otherwise, he really might have made an error.
With the divine ability enhancing him, Jiang Hao’s movents were fluid, and finally, he made the last stroke with emphasis.
The mont the last stroke was made, a light appeared from the stone slab, which traveled through the brush and into Jiang Hao’s body.
A golden light then appeared in his mind, like a brush painting runes in his consciousness.
Each stroke was grand and powerful, firm and steady.
Jiang Hao watched intently, not daring to miss a single detail.
The process was a great test of one’s state of mind as if it could collapse at any mont.
No wonder a clear and serene mind was necessary.
As the runes beca complete, Jiang Hao felt a sense of joy.
The mont the talisman was finished, the golden light disappeared.
With that, Jiang Hao had morized the entire talisman.
Crack!
Sothing on the table split.
It was the stone slab that had cracked and then shattered on the spot.
“Just one inheritance?” Jiang Hao was surprised.
But he had already gained a preliminary understanding that to make a Thousand Li Teleportation Talisman, one would need a Golden Core level beast skin, beast blood, and a Golden Core material brush.
With this knowledge, he headed to the Spiritual dicine Garden.
After collecting the bubbles and tending to the garden, he went to the market to purchase materials.
He spent a total of five hundred spirit stones to purchase the materials.
They were surprisingly expensive.
Fortunately, he can attempt it ten tis.
He just doesn’t know how much they will sell for.
Right now, he only has a hundred spirit stones on him.
The three thousand spirit stones he just got his hands on have been spent just like that.
Returning to the courtyard, Jiang Hao drew the Teleportation Talisman on other talisman papers without using spiritual energy.
He was just morizing the strokes.
After many attempts, he finally began to make the talisman.
However, once he started, he realized it required a trendous amount of spiritual energy.
When his spiritual energy was exhausted, he couldn’t complete the talisman.
Although he tried to use it again, fluctuations in his spiritual energy caused the beast skin talisman paper to burst into flas on the spot.
Failure.
With his spiritual energy depleted, he couldn’t continue for the night.
......
The next day.
Jiang Hao intended to go to the Spiritual dicine Garden but once again encountered Liu Xingchen.
This ti, Liu Xingchen looked serious.
Seeing this, Jiang Hao knew it wouldn’t be good news.
Sure enough.
“Junior Brother has been restricted in his movents recently,” Liu Xingchen said with a sigh.
“The Xuantian Sect will be here in half a month. Junior Brother, be careful.”
Jiang Hao thanked him with a bow.
This ti, Liu Xingchen didn’t say much else and didn’t stay long.
The more serious the matter, the less Liu Xingchen would say.
Jiang Hao had already sensed it.
He might beco the sacrificial pawn in a deal.
Of course, Liu Xingchen seed heavy-hearted, but he might be secretly delighted to have a drama to watch.
Self-mockingly, Jiang Hao headed to the Spiritual dicine Garden to collect bubbles and tend to the spiritual herbs.
Even Mu Qi, who had heard the news, couldn’t help but remind him.
“Junior Brother, are you still tending to the spiritual herbs? You might as well go and ask Master for advice.”
Jiang Hao thanked him, but he knew it would be of no use.
He was not a true disciple, and Master’s help was always limited.
Mu Qi knew this too, but what else could be done if not to go?
For the next few days, Jiang Hao continued to tend to the Spiritual dicine Garden during the day and went back to make talismans at night.
But he failed for seven consecutive days.
He rested for three days and planned to continue.
During these ten days, Miao Tinglian, watching Jiang Hao quietly organize the Spiritual dicine Garden, couldn’t help but express to Mu Qi:
“If Junior Brother Jiang grows up, he will surely soar to great heights. He’s facing a huge crisis in just five days, yet he can still remain so calm.”
