Chapter 1097: Chapter 380: Intelligence, Sword Manual, Thunder-Attracting Talisman_4

"If I want to refine a ’Thunder-Attracting Talisman’ in a short period of time, it seems I can only invest more."

He still needs to make time to cultivate the ’Celestial Thunder Shadow Sword Manual.’

Images of his descendants flashed through his mind, and he thought of the predicament mentioned in the intelligence about Ningning. Originally, Ningning had the assistance of the Wood Flying Squirrel, so the cultivation path shouldn’t have been difficult. But after entering the Royal Family, even with the Wood Flying Squirrel, it clearly wasn’t enough.

Ningning’s Spirit Root talent wasn’t high to begin with.

Fu Changsheng hesitated for a moment and then said:

"Consume eighteen thousand Clan Contribution Points to enhance Ningning’s Spirit Root talent."

Buzz!

The panel trembled.

A large amount of yellow light surged.

Fu Changsheng felt his vision blur, and in the next moment, he found himself inside a cave of Nine Heavens Talisman Bone Cave. Upon closer inspection, he saw the cave was located on a thousand-foot cliff, with the walls inlaid with ’Thunder-Attracting Jade,’ while ’Earth Vein Thunder Paste’ seeped from the rock cracks and condensed into purple electric thunderclouds on the cave ceiling:

"This environment?"

It was more mysterious than any place he had reached in the past.

There was a stone chamber at the end of the cave.

Gently pushing it open, he saw thirty-six ’Soul-Calming Glazed Lamps’ floating around. The lamp oil was refined from ’Thunder Flood Dragon Bone Marrow’ into ’Thunder Shocking Marrow,’ with dragon groans faintly emanating as the flames flickered.

Fu Changsheng inwardly clicked his tongue:

"Such an environment for talisman crafting is excessively extravagant!"

However.

From a certain perspective.

It shows how difficult it is to advance as a Tier Three Top-Grade Talisman Maker:

"I cannot waste this time."

Fu Changsheng walked to the desk, and a flash of spirit light revealed a blank talisman paper made from ’three hundred year Thunderstruck Peach Wood’ and talisman blood mixed using ’Kui Ox Horn Powder’ and ’Celestial Cyan Spirit Liquid’ as ink automatically appeared on the desk.

"Phew"

He took a deep breath.

Fu Changsheng did not rush to refine the ’Thunder-Attracting Talisman,’ but first carefully contemplated in his mind and made notes, then started with the brush. Initially, everything proceeded smoothly, but when it came to outlining the ’Thunder Core Talisman,’

Boom!

Earth Vein Thunder Paste suddenly rioted.

Before the talisman paper could take shape, it was invaded by ’Yin Thunder Fiend,’ exploding the talisman platform:

"Again!"

This time.

He used the ’Yin Yang Double Tempering Method’ to process the talisman materials: exposing them to the valley top during the day to absorb ’Celestial Spirit Thunder Essence’ and burying them in Thunder Paste at midnight to dye them with ’Earth Fiend Thunder Essence.’ On the seventy-second attempt, the talisman foot ’Thunder Shock Seal’ finally bore the dual thunder power, but spontaneously combusted due to ’Spiritual Vein Overload’ as he finished writing, scorching his entire right arm down to white bone.

Fu Changsheng’s brow twitched:

"This ’Thunder-Attracting Talisman’ already exhibits such power before taking shape; if truly completed, its might would be horrifying!"

Even if not used for cultivating sword techniques.

Just the power of this ’Thunder-Attracting Talisman’ is not inferior to those ordinary Tier Four Low-Grade talisman treasures. Therefore, even though he failed dozens of times, Fu Changsheng was not discouraged in the slightest, instead growing more determined with each effort.

In the blink of an eye.

Eight years had passed.

This time he chose the ’Thunder Roc Tail Feather’ as a new talisman brush, the pen was engraved with ’Thunder Splitting Rune.’ As the final ’Thunder-Attracting Rune’ was about to close, ’Ninefold Thunder Tribulation’ suddenly started outside the cave. He let out a roar, using the ’Vein Cutting Technique’ to force his heart’s essence blood into the talisman core, as blood transformed into a ’Blood Thunder Core Seal’ on the talisman paper, locking the tribulation’s thunder into the rune:

"Done!"

Fu Changsheng looked at the spirit talisman in his hand, his eyes flashing with joy. After eight years, he finally succeeded in crafting the ’Thunder-Attracting Talisman.’

Now in his hand, he examined closely:

"Oh?"

Fu Changsheng’s eyes lit up.

In the past eight years of failure, he unknowingly changed the original talisman crafting method and optimized it. The ’Thunder-Attracting Talisman’ in his hand contains the Dao rhyme of the thunder tribulation, and when activated, it can summon the ’Silent Extinction Purple Thunder’!

Additionally.

The reverse side of the talisman paper faintly reveals the ’Thunder Roc Celestial Patrol Map.’

Once activated, its escape speed might be even faster than the Cyan Flood Dragon:

"Not bad, not bad!"

There is indeed an unexpected benefit.

Following this.

He spent several more years practicing until his success rate stabilized at eighty percent, when suddenly all the ’Soul-Calming Glazed Lamps’ in the stone chamber exploded simultaneously, and his consciousness returned to his body in a flash.

At the same time.

The technique of the ’Thunder-Attracting Talisman’ fused into his body like enlightenment.

The panel trembled slightly.

A line of text emerged:

[Talisman Maker: Tier Three Top-Grade (200/400)]

In the next instant.

The panel trembled again.

The text changed:

[Ningning: Spirit Root Talent (60/100)]

"Ningning’s talent is really..."

Even after spending eighteen thousand points, she only increased to sixty; truly extremely poor. Fu Changsheng’s eyes fell on the panel, noticing his Contribution Points, originally reset to zero, had changed. Since Ningning was given points for the first time, the value on the panel changed from zero to eighteen hundred Contribution Points.

Fu Changsheng called Qiu Niang in:

"Qiu Niang, help me set up a ’Xun Wind Array’"

Speaking.

He handed her the method to set up the ’Xun Wind Array.’

Qiu Niang happily accepted it.

She had a keen interest in arrays, and after glancing over it, said, "Master, this array is not difficult, I can complete the setup in a month."

"Alright"

Fu Changsheng nodded.

In one month’s time, he should be able to craft another ’Thunder-Attracting Talisman.’

After Qiu Niang left the hut, she chose the glacier as the place for the array according to Fu Changsheng’s instructions.

After a month.

One could see array patterns and flags covering all around the glacier.

At this moment.

A slightly fatigued Fu Changsheng emerged from the hut, holding the ’Thunder-Attracting Talisman’ in his hand, to which Qiu Niang excitedly said:

"Master, everything is ready, shall we activate the array immediately?"

"Yes"

Fu Changsheng felt a bit excited too.

Upon Qiu Niang’s command, she soared into the sky, gracefully waving, and seventy-two ’Cyan Nether Wind Crystals’ fell like stars, illuminating the serpentine ’Xunfeng Array Pattern’ already carved into the glacier.

As Fu Changsheng’s ’Thunder-Attracting Talisman’ fell into the array hub’s ’Nine Orifice Thunder-Attracting Cauldron,’ a sudden boom was heard, and turquoise gang winds churned through the space, carrying dense ’Xun Electric Dust.’

In an instant, it transformed into a small Thunder Tribulation Pool.

The array was formed!

Fu Changsheng’s eyes showed a hint of delight.

Meanwhile, with a thought, the sword dao seed nurtured within his body transformed into a Moyu-colored stalactite, dropping into the Thunder Tribulation Pool.

The Moyu-colored stalactite can accelerate growth by absorbing sword qi.

Indeed, it is killing two birds with one stone.

Fu Changsheng’s body swayed, landing in the Thunder Tribulation Pool to begin cultivating the first layer of the ’Celestial Thunder Shadow Sword Manual’ improved edition, ’Wind Thunder Introduction.’

As soon as his toes touched the ground.

Buzz!

The pool’s lightning immediately transformed into countless Thunder Serpents entwining his body.

He quickly circulated the ’Wind Thunder Introduction’ heart technique, and his Danzhong Acupoint suddenly lit up with Cyan Gold Tai Chi Diagram—wind as the yin fish stirred up a three-foot vortex, lightning as the yang fish emitted dazzling electric beams. The originally violent thunder fiend was dissected into fine Thunder Silk by the wind vortex, following the Three Yin Meridians of the Foot to pour into his Dantian, transforming into gentle ’Wind Thunder Spirit Liquid’ under the ’Celestial Thunder Shadow Sword Manual’ improved edition’s unique ’Thunder Lock Three Gates’ mechanism:

"Still smooth"

Fu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Began wholeheartedly immersing himself in cultivation.

As time passed, thirty-six ’Xunfeng Pillars’ at the pool sensed the energy and spat out cyan-gray Wind Blades. His skin’s surface floated with Cyan-Gold intertwined ’Wind Thunder Spirit Patterns,’ and with each breath, faint thunder rumbled.

Cultivation knows no age.

In the blink of an eye, nine years had flown by!
