“I really wish I could come here every day.”

After doing another round in the valley and making sure no Poisonous Bees were left, Chu Liang reluctantly left.

Back at the Shu Mountain Sect, in his own little cabin, there were serious matters to attend to.

Earning money after all was still secondary, and he couldn’t forget to improve his own strength.

Therefore, Chu Liang first opened the rewards from the Poisonous Bees, and after rewarding himself more than thirty times, he started to focus on learning.

Naturally, what he was learning was the Talisman Sword Technique that Jiang Yuebai had taught him.

The essence of the Talisman Sword Technique lies in combining Talismans with Sword Qi. To learn this Sword Technique, you must first learn to make Talisman.

Creating Talismans itself is a profound knowledge.

Things like Talismans, Pill Furnaces, Artifact Refining, these are each a complex study in itself, and Shu Mountain Sect does not force disciples to learn them. Chu Liang had not dabbled in them before, but now that it’s necessary, there is no harm in learning more.

There is an important saying for the survival in the world; that is, learning until old, live until old.

If you do not keep learning, you will likely not live to be old.

Jiang Yuebai gave him the essence of the Sword Technique without teaching from the basics, so Chu Liang had to come back and research on his own. Jiang Yuebai gave him a month to learn how to make Talismans.

He went to the Law Protection Hall to buy a book called “Dao of Talisman True Meaning,” and went to Chuan Jian Hall to buy some basic tools for making talismans, such as cinnabar, yellow paper, ink sticks and so on…

And so, he started to learn by himself.

The so-called Talisman is an object that carries the power of Runes.

The reason why Runes have power is that they are words belonging to the Heavenly Dao, and once they are triggered, they can stimulate the power of the Heavenly Dao.

But the Heavenly Dao could not be arbitrarily invoked; you need to use True Qi to condense on the Rune, then use Divine Thoughts to reach the heavens to achieve the purpose of triggering Heavenly Dao Power.

The commonly used cinnabar in Talisman making is because cinnabar is the easiest to condense Qi, and True Qi can stay on it for a long time.

For real Dao of Talisman experts, creating a talisman with their bare hands and triggering it out of nowhere is not difficult. If you want to use the Flying Sword to create a Talisman, you also need to reach this level of proficiency.

In the early stage of studying the Dao of Talisman, you only need to remember some basic Runes, and meticulously draw these runes down, then triggering their effects counts as a success.

You do not need to understand why these runes are written as such.

Just like elementary school students only need to know how to use math formulae, as for where the formulae come from and what principles they contain… Those are things that Wen Dao Realm and Tianyuan Realm experts need to consider.

But just remembering those basic Rune is hard.

The Heavenly Dao’s text is abstruse and complex, and every stroke contains the Dao, you cannot change it in the slightest, you cannot possibly flip a book and copy it in a crisis.

It’s not a big deal if you write long strokes or short strokes in your normal writing, but when drawing Talisman, there cannot be the slightest deviation in proportion, this is the first difficulty.

This is why you have to draw Talisman on paper at the beginning, because you can see the shape and proportion better on paper. It could require drawing thousands or tens of thousands of times on paper before being able to draw Talisman in mid-air without mistakes.

In the Dao of Talisman, making up for a lack of talent with hard work is the key.

Chu Liang was looking at the basic runes, while gesturing into the air with his fingers, feeling it was indeed abstruse.

The second difficulty is True Qi that condenses and does not disperse, because True Qi itself will dissipate. If you want it to condense and not dissipate, a strong control ability is required, the control of Qi must be continuous and done in one breath.

The third difficulty is that when triggering with Divine Thoughts, you must be cautious and measure carefully. Because many Talismans are not triggered immediately, if you want to control their activation time, you must have precise control over your Divine Thoughts.

The unity of Essence, Qi and Spirit is all difficult.

“It’s really complex…”

Chu Liang looked at the first Talisman in the book, and subconsciously gestured it.

He planned to first keep the runes in mind before trying them out on paper.

Almost all Talisman beginners first learn the Rune of Five Elements Fire, and Chu Liang is no exception. Even this simplest Rune is complex enough to make one’s scalp numb.

He gestured in the air with his right hand for a while, drawing the first complete Rune, then gently pointed at it.

Whoo-

A flame sprouted out of thin air, almost burning the walls of the cabin.

Chu Liang himself was startled, and he jumped up.

Did he succeed?

The book clearly said that drawing a Rune in thin air was very difficult…

Where were the tens of thousands of practices on paper that were promised?

However, his first reaction was not of joy, but to look at the cinnabar and yellow paper on the table, and muttered: “That was a waste.”

…

“Sigh-”

Early the next morning, Chu Liang was awoken by a sudden loud cry from outside. Looking out the window, he saw a large white crane landing gracelessly.

The Seven Star Mansion Report for this month had arrived.

He greeted the white crane, “Thank you for your hard work.”

Raising his hand, he brought the booklet into the room. It was time for his monthly reading of the report.

As usual, he opened to read the Human World Treasure List first.

Last month’s rank in the Treasure List had undergone a significant change.

A magical artifact named “Moyun Golden Wings” was successfully forged in Taotie City. Under the witness of Tianshu Pavilion, it was recognized as the 97th on the Treasure List.

That meant the rankings of all the treasures after the 97th had to be shifted down one place.

There had been no movements in the top hundred of the Treasure List for many years. The sudden emergence of the Moyun Golden Wings caught quite a bit of attention.

It is often considered that the top hundred is a significant divide.

All magical treasures and weapons beyond the hundredth rank, whether strong or weak, belong to the realm of the ordinary. Those within the hundredth rank tend closer to divine artifacts.

Every additional item in the Mortal Realm that approaches the divine is a significant event.

This meant that the power of Taotie City had grown a bit stronger.

As a disciple of the Shu Mountain Sect, one should arguably feel a sense of crisis. In recent years, voices claiming the Shu Mountain Sect doesn’t deserve to be among the Nine Heavens Immortal Sects have grown louder. These voices are mainly from the high-ranking sects in the Ten Earth Sects.

They are all eyeing the Shu Mountain Sect at the end of the Nine Heavens, ready to take its place at any time.

Taotie City is one of them.

After seeing the changes in the Treasure List, then it is the Strategy of Nine States.

This month’s Strategy of Nine States also has explosive news.

The four big characters that say “Demon God’s Return” immediately occupy the vision at the beginning of the section.

Because Chu Liang had heard the news in the Hidden Forest Mountain before, he had already been surprised, so now he was okay.

One can imagine how shocked those people who have been living in peace for a long time would be when they suddenly see such news.

This time, the Seven Kings Ridge in the Far West Land sent several Divine Envoys to unite and manipulate several forces in the territory of the Yu Dynasty. Their goal is to spread the news of the returning Demon God. So, they kept no secrets at all.

They want to stir up waves in the Nine States Land!

This obvious hype greatly suggests that the return of the Demon God is not false.

Immortal Wulou, the Master of Tianshu Pavilion, wrote a profound review himself, telling everyone how serious this situation is. He helped all those who had forgotten the horror of the demon race to evoke a long-lost sense of crisis.

Even Chu Liang, who already knew about the news, was gradually becoming serious as he read it.

Turning the page, his eyes widened slightly in surprise.

Because he saw his own name.

Tianshu Pavilion described the captured activities of several divine envoys of the Demon Race. The first one was the one who committed a brutal massacre in Kaoshan City.

This terribly vicious demon race envoy was exterminated by Yun Chaoxian, a core disciple of the Heavenly Gang Sect, and Chu Liang, a young disciple of the Shu Mountain Sect. This also includes an evil witch who was in collusion with him.

Of course, the article emphasized Yun Chaoxian and glossed over Chu Liang.

It’s not surprising, since Yun Chaoxian is one of the four core disciples of the Heavenly Gang Sect and his face had appeared in the Seven Star Mansion Report before.

As for Chu Liang… Who was he?

Really unfamiliar.

Without understanding the specific circumstances, everyone would think that Yun Chaoxian was the main force against the evil, and that Chu Liang was just a hanger-on.

However, seeing his own name appear in the Seven Star Mansion Report, which could be seen by everyone in the world, still felt quite peculiar.

If it was an ordinary disciple of an Immortal Sect, they would probably cheer and jump for joy, being excited for several days.

After all, appearing in the Seven Star Mansion Report is the beginning of fame.

Chu Liang also cracked a slight smile.

Turning to the next page, he saw a familiar name and his smile widened a bit.

It really is…

“Empress Feng, the notorious tyrant peak master of the Shu Mountain Sect, stirred up the seas around the Eastern Sea and caused trouble recently.”

“The Penglai Upper Sect stepped in and drove her away.”

“It’s a delight.”
