Chapter 37 Senior Sister, I Want to Participate in the Crimson Trial as Cannon Fodder! [New Book, Pl
"Given the cultivation environment in Tiannan, without Foundation Establishment Pills, it's really difficult to establish a foundation..." Meng De wasn't sure if he could successfully establish a foundation by relying on the Source Blood cheat, so he would still try his best to obtain Foundation Establishment Pills if given the chance.
"The Blood Forbidden Trial is sufficiently enclosed, with abundant resources, making it extremely suitable for the breeding of Origin Blood Flying Mosquitoes... It's also the best opportunity to make contact with Old Farmer Han." With this in mind, Meng De took out a Qi Refining Pill and began to enter a state of cultivation.
Meng De is currently at the seventh level of Qi Refining. He should be able to reach the eighth level in two years. At that time, whether it is the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining, he will take the Profound Qi Pill to directly increase his cultivation by one level.
At that time, a cultivation level of Qi Refining Level 9 or even Qi Refining Level 10 wouldn't seem so... conspicuous among the disciples of the seven sects participating in the trial, would it?
After all... Mengde seemed to vaguely remember that in this year's Blood Forbidden Trial, there was a conspicuous person who only had the cultivation level of the tenth level of Qi Refining.
Hmm, this cultivator from Huangfeng Valley at the tenth level of Qi Refining seems to have the surname Xiang.
Well, if I were to participate in the Crimson Forbidden Land trial with only a Qi Refining Level 9 cultivation, I might steal the spotlight from the Walking Ceremony...
Shaking his head slightly to clear his mind of all the chaotic thoughts, Meng De began to concentrate on his cultivation, while also studying new techniques during his breaks.
A month later, after Meng De finished a bottle of Qi-refining pills, his cultivation improved, and he also successfully learned the not-too-difficult "Golden Light Mantra." He then began to study the talisman version of the "Golden Light Mantra."
Another month later, Mengde finished another bottle of Qi-refining pills, and at the same time, the talisman version of the "Golden Light Mantra" was finally revised.
Mengde doesn't create talismans in the same "one-shot" or "flowing" manner as described in the book. Instead, he makes fine adjustments at key points where energy overlaps.
The traditional process of making talismans usually involves condensing one's divine consciousness to control magical power, making fine adjustments at the points where energy overlaps, thereby determining the order in which the magical power wires pass and the intensity of the "magical pressure".
Because this process requires a high degree of concentration, making a single talisman consumes a great deal of mental energy, hence the limited production of talismans.
However, Mengde's talisman-making process, simply put, involves adding auxiliary lines to the spell model. Where auxiliary lines can be used, there's absolutely no need for mental calculation. By utilizing the properties of materials, the flow of energy is automatically achieved without affecting the overall structure of the spell model. Apart from the slightly more complicated procedures, it consumes very little mental energy.
Meng De had previously considered using the Gai Luobo Zhang, but after a final analysis, he realized it was unrealistic. At least with his current cultivation level, he couldn't create a magical artifact capable of producing talismans like the Gai Luobo Zhang.
"As an intermediate-level spell usable up to the Foundation Establishment stage, the Golden Light Spell's talisman version can block most Qi Refining stage spells... even the Blood Sword Technique..."
Inside Blackwater Manor, Meng De, his blood boiling, watched as a wooden dummy covered in golden talismans and protected by golden light was pierced by a blood-red sword aura. The dense protective golden light was like steel meeting a jet of metal; the protective golden light was instantly contaminated by the blood aura, forming a penetrating trajectory and ultimately leaving a shallow wound on the wooden dummy.
To Mengde's slight surprise, the Blood Sword Technique, released by consuming his essence blood, seemed to have a different energy nature than the spiritual power on the Golden Light Talisman. Mengde could clearly observe traces of the protective golden light being eroded by the blood spiritual power...
"The spell released by blood spiritual power... actually has a certain effect on breaking through the spiritual energy shield of traditional cultivators...?" Meng De was a little puzzled, but the current situation was good for him, so he didn't delve into it for the time being.
He never expected that the minor secret technique attached to a common blood cultivation manual would become his most powerful attack method.
However, according to the normal cultivation speed, at this point in time, one has only initially completed the refinement of blood energy and is only just qualified to learn the Blood Sword Technique.
"The protective golden light formed by the Golden Light Talisman can last for about ten minutes without external attack. After ten minutes, the protective golden light will begin to weaken. Even with the use of mana, it will disappear at most in the fifteenth minute... exactly a quarter of an hour." Meng De tested various aspects of the Golden Light Talisman and finally came to some conclusions.
"However, if subjected to a strong external attack, the protective golden light will rapidly deplete... its duration may be compressed to within three seconds..." Meng De himself is at the seventh level of Qi Refining. If he were to unleash the attack on the protective golden light created by the Golden Light Talisman, without using the Blood Sword Technique, it would take him ten to twenty seconds to break the shield...
"As expected of a high-level, low-level talisman made at the cost of nearly ten spirit stones..." Meng De couldn't help but sigh.
The Golden Light Spell, being an intermediate-level spell, produces a Golden Light Talisman that is a high-level beginner-level talisman, not an intermediate-level talisman. Beginner-level talismans are generally used at the Qi Refining Realm, while intermediate-level talismans are used at the Foundation Establishment Realm. It is rumored that the most powerful intermediate-level talismans can even unleash a powerful attack comparable to that of a Core Formation cultivator.
The golden talisman in Meng De's hand is a high-level, low-grade talisman. As a life-saving talisman, it can be sold for twenty or thirty spirit stones in the cultivation market outside, which is neither high nor low among high-level, low-grade talismans.
There is also an upgraded version of the Golden Light Talisman called the Golden Gang Talisman, which has stronger defensive capabilities and a higher price.
"I only have enough Qi Refining Pills for one month. If I continue cultivating at my current pace, I'll need to spend at least fifty spirit stones on cultivation every month..."
"Although the sect rewarded me with three hundred spirit stones, combined with my previous savings, it should be enough to last for more than half a year."
Meng De roughly estimated the cost of his drug-based cultivation and couldn't help but sigh slightly, thinking that taking drugs really burns through spirit stones... Old Farmer Han, who was a drug addict, was much happier.
"The production process of the Golden Light Talisman is already complicated, and I've made it even more complicated. Without interfering with my cultivation, it takes me about a week to complete one talisman after all the preparations are done... The market price of a high-level, low-level talisman is generally over twenty spirit stones. Even if I make fifteen spirit stones per talisman after deducting costs... that's about sixty spirit stones a month, and it seems like I still have a surplus..."
Thinking of this, Meng De couldn't help but purse his lips slightly. At this rate, wouldn't he have absolutely no time to rest? If he slacked off even a little, he wouldn't earn fifty or sixty spirit stones in profit a month, and he'd have to live off his savings...
Even the slightest mistake could not be made on the Golden Light Talisman.
"Once you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, things will be much easier." After a brief silence, Meng De finally used the same words his teacher used to coax his students to brainwash himself.
......
A year later, when Mengde successfully broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refining by taking drugs, he took out the communication talisman that Yunxi had given him.
"Senior sister, I want to participate in the Crimson Forbidden Land Trial a year from now."
