Cultivation: Being Immortal

Zhongzhou, Tianxian City

Whether it’s the Memory Slashing Blade or the Soul Removing Skill, they are both very difficult to practice. Without a certain amount of time accumulation, it cannot be completed. Therefore, life still needs to go on.

After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, cultivation progress becomes increasingly slow. It is considered fast for an ordinary Nascent Soul to advance a small stage in a hundred years. The biggest fear is getting stuck at a bottleneck, which can happen for a lifetime.

Lin Jiang didn’t encounter a bottleneck, but his progress was extremely slow. It can be described as slowly as water dripping through a stone to reach the mid-stage of Nascent Soul. This made Lin Jiang yearn even more for the elixir of cultivation. Looking back now, Lin Jiang cursed the elixir as a cheat tool in the cultivation world.

Fortunately, the progress of talisman technique is very fast. Lin Jiang has put in a lot of effort in this regard, and the success rate is gradually increasing. The benefits can temporarily satisfy Lin Jiang’s daily cultivation needs.

After another two years, Lin Jiang received an invitation from Li Cai, inviting him to the mansion for a conversation. Lin Jiang gladly went there. There were many talisman technique exchanges in Tianxian City, and Lin Jiang has participated in many of them. However, Li Cai’s event had the highest standard and was the most scholarly, which Lin Jiang really liked.

When Lin Jiang arrived at Li Cai’s mansion, surprisingly, Li Cai didn’t come out to greet him. This caught Lin Jiang off guard because Li Cai always personally greeted his guests. He was always humble and courteous.

"Friend Li Taoist"

"Oh, how do you know?"

"I guessed."

"Friend Li, who is knowledgeable, do you know who came to Senior Li’s residence this time?"

"Does Friend Jiang know?"

"I have some knowledge. Does Friend Li know about the Holy Heavenly Sect?"

"The most prominent one in the past hundred years."

Lin Jiang said. The Holy Heavenly Sect is the most prominent sect in the cultivation world for the past hundred years. Over a hundred years ago, the sect achieved a breakthrough from Tao Achieving to Void Achieving. In the following century, three more people achieved Void Achieving. The sect has produced countless talented disciples. From an ordinary second-rate sect, it rose to become a top sect in the cultivation world, dominating the northeast part of Central Province.

"The Holy Heavenly Sect is extraordinary. They have so many talented disciples. I wonder how they managed to find so many."

"Taoist Friend Jiang, let’s talk about today’s important guest."

"Today’s important guest is Yang Luo, the adopted daughter of Holy Heavenly Sect Leader Yang Xi. She is over a hundred years old and has achieved a complete golden core cultivation. But that’s not the most important thing; the most important thing is that she is a talented person."

"Talented?"

"Yes, talented. She knows everything about arts, swordsmanship, pills, talismans, items, formations, puppets, controlling beasts, and spiritual farming. She is skilled in every aspect."

"Is this considered talented? She sounds like a freak!"

Lin Jiang gasped in astonishment, he even found it hard to believe that there could be such an amazing person in the world.

"Taoist Friend Li is right, she is a freak. To make matters worse, she is also very beautiful and is known as the number one beauty of the Holy Heavenly Sect."

"Is Taoist Friend Jiang joking? Why does heaven favor this person so much?"

"I also want to know, everyone says this person is a heavenly fairy from the fairy realm reborn."

"Let’s go, with such a person, Li is also eager to meet."

Lin Jiang’s interest was piqued, and he really wanted to see what this so-called talented person looked like.

Upon entering Li Cai’s residence, Li Cai was indeed beside a woman, who was talking to him, but all eyes were focused on her.

Lin Jiang looked up and down at this woman named Yang Luo, she was indeed very beautiful, comparable to Xiao Lingyue, Lin Batian’s lady friend, and Xiao Lingyue had a foxy temperament, while Yang Luo had a more literary charm. The phrase "ladylike" came to Lin Jiang’s mind.

Yang Luo seemed to sense Lin Jiang’s gaze and looked towards him, nodding as a greeting. Lin Jiang immediately returned the gesture.

There was also someone next to Yang Luo, likely her protector. Their cultivation should be Void Achieving, but Lin Jiang didn’t dare to probe further. This person’s gaze scrutinized everyone, extremely vigilant.

"Senior Li, I think most of the people have arrived, we can begin now."

Yang Luo looked outside and saw no one, then she said to Li Cai.

"Okay, everyone, please be quiet."

"This exchange meeting is a bit rushed because Holy Heavenly Sect’s Taoist friend is visiting Danxia Sect, and Yang Luo wants to communicate talisman techniques with the Talisman Maker in Tianxian City, so everyone is gathered."

"Many people may not know Yang Luo yet. She is the first genius of Holy Heavenly Sect and the first genius in the entire cultivation world…"

"Senior Li, as a junior, I dare not be called a genius. Please don’t say that."

Before Li Cai could finish introducing, Yang Luo immediately spoke up. It’s not a good thing to have such a reputation, so it’s better to keep a low profile.

"Yes, let’s not talk too much about Yang Luo’s identity. Let’s talk about talisman techniques. With Yang Luo’s golden core cultivation, her talisman technique is at the pinnacle of the third stage. But that is not her limit. She has deep research in sixth or even seventh stage talisman techniques. The reason she can only refine third stage spiritual talismans is because her cultivation level is not high enough. That’s why today’s exchange meeting will be presided over by Yang Luo."

With just one sentence from Li Cai, the scene became noisy. It was known that the level of cultivators’ Pill, Talisman, Item, and Formation skills were limited by their cultivation level.

Many people might study fourth stage spiritual talismans during the golden core period, but it’s extremely difficult to draw them. So, most people only study fourth stage. To be able to study sixth or seventh stage spiritual talismans during the golden core cultivation, what kind of talent is that?

Lin Jiang believed that Yang Luo was a talented individual after hearing Li Cai’s words. Li Cai himself was a grandmaster of talisman technique, so if Yang Luo didn’t have any skills, he wouldn’t praise her so highly.

Now, Lin Jiang’s mind was filled with thoughts of historical figures, like Da Vinci from the West or Shen Kuo from Chinese history. They had multiple prestigious identities, such as being a painter and a mathematician. There were many people in modern times who became masters in a certain field by studying it.

These are truly talented people, blessed by the heavens. Lin Jiang may be an ordinary person, but for them, it’s something ordinary.

"Oh, it’s another day when the cultivation world tries to increase their numbers."

"We’ve learned talisman techniques so well that we could do them in our sleep."

This was the thought of most people present. Faced with such a supernatural being, all they could do was look up in awe.

"Yang Luo, my young friend, let’s begin."

"Very well, I’ll obediently follow your command."

Yang Luo nodded and Li Cai gestured for everyone to be quiet.

Yang Luo took out a stack of special drawings from their bag and, using their spiritual power, handed them out to everyone. They said. Dear taoist friends and seniors, these are spiritual talismans created by Yang Luo. I wonder if you can spot any differences.

Lin Jiang also received a spiritual talisman. In his hands was a basic second-level explosive symbol which, when activated, could unleash a burst of fiery projectiles. The attack power was moderate, but usually cultivators would use a sequence of them rather than one by one. It was one of the commonly used spiritual talismans.

Lin Jiang carefully observed and quickly noticed something strange. He looked up at Yang Luo with an amazed expression.

"What should I call this taoist friend?"

"Independent cultivator Li Changsheng."

"Taoist Friend Li noticed something unusual."

"Yes."

"Then please let Taoist Friend Li clarify things for everyone."

"This second-grade high-quality spiritual talisman can be activated by someone in the later stage of Qi Refining, or even in the mid stage of Qi Refining, right, Mr. Li?"

"Yes, Taoist Friend Li is correct."

Yang Luo nodded, and there was another commotion around them.

"Impossible, how is this possible?"

"Exactly, with the spiritual awareness of the Qi Refining Period, it is impossible to activate a second-grade premium spiritual talisman. At most, it can only be a second-grade lower-quality one, and it takes a very long time."

Someone voiced their opposition, stating that the logic behind using a spiritual talisman is that the Talisman Maker uses drawing materials to depict runes and seal spiritual energy onto the paper. However, all runes have a tiny gap, just like a broken bridge, which is the sealing point.

When it is time to use the talisman, the user breaks open the sealing point with their spiritual awareness and inputs a bit of spiritual energy, as if repairing the broken bridge, allowing the spiritual energy on the paper to flow and activate.

The higher the grade of the spiritual talisman, the stronger the seal. Opening the seal requires stronger spiritual awareness, so the grade of the talisman is generally proportional to the cultivator’s level of cultivation.

It is possible for a Qi Refining late-stage cultivator to activate a second-grade spiritual talisman, but it takes a very long time and requires gradually refining it. During battle, there is no time to refine it, so Qi Refining Period cultivators generally don’t touch second-grade spiritual talismans. This is common knowledge in the cultivation world.

So if what Lin Jiang said is true, then Yang Luo has accomplished something that goes against common knowledge in the cultivation world. Isn’t that astonishing?

"Actually, your thoughts are correct. What Yang Luo wants to discuss with all of you today is precisely this matter. She may be able to bring about a transformation in the cultivation world, a transformation that has never been seen in millions of years."

"Senior Li, there’s no need for such praise. This is just a small idea from Yang Luo, and currently, it can only be applied to second-grade spiritual talismans. Anything higher is not possible."

"Yang Luotaoist friend, please quickly tell me about this matter."

"Exactly, stop chatting and let’s start."

Everyone couldn’t wait any longer. Among them were experts in the field of talisman technique, professionals. Now someone is challenging their knowledge in this field, and they are eager to know how it can be done. As for the impact it may bring, they haven’t considered it yet.
