Returning to the Lin Family residence, Zhou Xun went to visit Wang Erniu.

Nowadays, Wang Erniu, due to his near Earth Spirit Root qualification, is highly valued by the Lin Family and enjoys favorable treatment!

It's worth mentioning that his wife, Lin Xue'e, is pregnant again.

Wang Erniu appeared very happy with Zhou Xun's visit.

After staying for more than ten days, Zhou Xun bid farewell to Red Leaf Square and returned to White Cloud Immortal City.

...

On this day, Zhou Xun was on his way, when suddenly he heard bursts of explosions and saw glaring light flashes ahead, clearly indicating a fight.

Zhou Xun frowned and looked carefully.

He saw three men surrounding a delicate-looking young man.

That young man only had the cultivation of Third-Layer Qi Refining, while the three attacking him were all Middle-Stage Qi Refining.

"This is interesting!"

Three Middle-Stage Qi Refining teaming up couldn't defeat one Early-Stage Qi Refining.

Zhou Xun continued to watch.

It turned out the young man's talismans were sharp, relying on the Golden Light Shield on him, he had fully blocked the attacks from the three men.

It turns out this young man was wealthy, holding a Middle-High Tier Talisman, no wonder the three men had fought for so long without prevailing.

Suddenly, he sensed something was wrong.

This Golden Light Shield was clearly a Tier One Low-Grade Defense Talisman, how could it block the attacks of three Middle-Stage Qi Refining cultivators using magical artifacts?

This was unreasonable!

The Golden Light Shield Talisman had an issue!

Zhou Xun immediately concealed himself and slowly approached, observing closely.

He saw the young man take out an ordinary Tier One Low-Grade Ice Spike Talisman.

After activating it, a heavy spiritual pressure emanated, then stabbed towards the elder among the three.

The young man intended to deal with the strongest opponent first.

As the Ice Spike came out, the middle-aged man hurriedly deployed a Middle-Grade Defense Talisman.

A Golden Shield appeared in front of him.

A Tier One Middle-Grade Talisman, the Golden Shield Talisman.

"Ding—"

With a heavy sound, the Middle-Grade Talisman Golden Shield shattered directly, and although the Ice Spike was largely consumed, some force remained, charging towards the man.

"This Ice Spike Talisman is peculiar too!"

A mere Tier One Low-Grade Talisman, its power even surpassed the Middle-Grade Golden Shield Talisman.

It is known that when talismans of the same level clash, the defense talisman usually has the advantage.

But now, the Golden Shield Talisman was crushed despite being a higher tier.

"The power of the Ice Spike Talisman is nearing that of a Tier One High-Grade!"

Zhou Xun's curiosity was piqued, and he continued to watch.

Before long, the young man took out a Tier One Low-Grade Fireball Talisman.

The same situation, the Fireball Talisman's power greatly exceeded its Tier One Low-Grade, nearing High-Grade.

This young man had a secret!

Zhou Xun deliberated and chose not to reveal himself yet.

Half an hour later, the young man seemed to run out of resources, his talismans depleted.

The light shield around his body dimmed, on the verge of collapsing.

The three men were overjoyed, hastily saying:

"Kid Ye, as long as you hand over that technique to enhance the talismans' power, we can spare your life!"

The young man showed despair and anger, looking at the leading man and said:

"Why do this to me? If not for my talisman, you would have died under that Demon Wolf!"

"Blame your naivety, hand over that technique, and I can spare your life!" the leading man said nonchalantly.

"Dream on, I would rather die than give it to you!" The boy was resolute.

Zhou Xun, seeing this, knew it was time to intervene.

He then put on the Thousand Illusion Mask, transforming into the appearance of an old white-haired man.

"Clap! Clap!"

Zhou Xun's figure suddenly appeared in the sky above, clapping his hands.

"Didn't expect to see such a show in this wilderness!"

The sudden appearance of Zhou Xun startled the three men, as they were about to speak, they felt the Foundation Establishment Stage mana aura from Zhou Xun, and immediately shut their mouths.

They dared not utter a word.

"Salutations elder..." The leading man was quick to react, immediately kneeling down to kowtow.

"Silence!"

Zhou Xun waved his hand, an invisible power binding the three to the side, unable to move.

Zhou Xun then landed in front of the young man.

The young man was bewildered, looking at Zhou Xun before him.

"Se-Senior."

This was the first time the young man saw a Foundation Establishment cultivator, extremely nervous.

"Child, do not fear, I am no villain!"

"I am simply interested in your method of enhancing talisman power, I can exchange treasures, be it pills to enhance mana, powerful magical artifacts, or rare techniques, I can fulfill your needs!"

Zhou Xun had the Luo Family Treasure Vault's scripture at hand, offering top-level Qi Cultivation techniques was not an issue.

Hearing this, the young man was initially stunned, then struggled internally.

"This kid is quite inflexible!" Zhou Xun was slightly troubled seeing this.

Just then, the young man's voice rang out, gritting his teeth.

"Senior, I don't want treasures, just kill those three, and I'll hand over the secret technique to you!"

Saying this, he looked angrily at the leading man.

Listening to the boy's words earlier, Zhou Xun could roughly guess the situation.

It was simply that the boy carelessly displayed the enhanced talisman, aiding the middle-aged man out of a crisis.

Yet the man repaid kindness with evil, instead aiming for the boy's technique to enhance talisman power.

This surely angered the young man!

"This is easily done!"

As soon as Zhou Xun finished speaking, he casually sent out three streams of powerful Qi.

All that was heard were a few dull thuds.

Three blood holes appeared in the foreheads of the three men, who died instantly.

Witnessing this scene, the young man showed a gratified expression.

He then dismissed the originally dim light shield, knowing it was useless against Zhou Xun.

He knelt in front of Zhou Xun.

"Thank you, senior, for your aid, here is the booklet recording the 'Nurtured Talisman Technique'!" Saying this, the young man took a parchment book from his arms.

"Nurtured Talisman Technique?" Zhou Xun asked softly.

"Yes, I inherited this technique from this sheepskin scroll, this 'Nurtured Talisman Technique' allows cultivators to nurture crafted talismans with their mana, enhancing talisman power!"

"The longer the nurturing, the greater the talisman's power boost!"

"But this enhancement has limits, restricted by the nurturer's mana and the talisman's material!"

The young man proactively explained.

Zhou Xun nodded slightly after hearing this, then asked:

"I observed the Ice Spike Talismans and Fireball Talismans you activated today already surpassed Middle-Grade talismans, even nearing High-Grade talismans, how long did you nurture them!"

"These talismans, were not nurtured by me, but passed down from my grandfather!"

"According to my grandfather, for Tier One Low-Grade talismans, it takes five years to fully nurture, with power equivalent to half a typical High-Grade talisman,"

"As for those few Middle-Grade talismans, it supposedly requires seven to eight years!"

"Alas, all the talismans my grandfather gave me were spent on those few men!" The young man said, showing a resentful expression.

"This technique is extremely rare and precious, do not reveal it to others unless absolutely necessary!" Zhou Xun advised.

The young man bowed on hearing this:

"Thank you, senior, for your guidance!"

"That's all I have to say, let us part here!"

With that, Zhou Xun tapped his storage bag, several bottles of elixirs, and a few bundles of talismans, along with a book appeared on the ground before the young man.

The elixirs ranged from Early-Stage Qi Refining to Late-Stage Qi Refining, talismans from Tier One Low-Grade to Tier One High-Grade, there were even three Tier Two Low-Grade ones.

The book was a Tier Two Low-Grade talisman inheritance!

With his Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, he would not stoop to taking advantage of a young man.

"Senior, thank you, senior!"

Seeing these treasures, the young man was overcome with emotion, his eyes moist with tears.

Aside from his grandfather, this was the second person to treat him this kindly.
