Cautiously Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World

Chapter 30: Talisman Creation

Before leaving, Ye Jingyun gave Chen Lin a bottle of pills.

It was the Rejuvenating Pill that she had mentioned earlier.

The effect of this pill was several times that of a Qi Restoring Pill, and its value was not low.

However, when Chen Lin poured out the pills from the bottle, his expression became uncertain.

There were exactly ten pills.

Was it a coincidence, or had the other party discovered something?

He gazed at the ten pills for a long time before carefully putting them back in the bottle.

Then, he picked up the jade slip containing the secret technique for establishing a spiritual connection and began to study it carefully.

This technique, although not commonly seen, was not extremely rare either. It was an advanced version of the Object Manipulation Technique, allowing people to control target objects more flexibly.

Of course, it was more powerful than the Object Manipulation Technique, such as allowing people to imprint their own spiritual mark on objects that had been "refined" through this technique, which wouldn't be disturbed or seized by others when used.

This point was much stronger than the Object Manipulation Technique.

However, if the object fell into someone else's hands, they would still be able to erase the mark and re-refine it.

With the foundation of the Object Manipulation Technique, understanding the secret technique was relatively smooth, and he didn't need to use an Enlightenment Pill to comprehend it. Then, he began to try refining the Cold Abyss Flame in the jade box.

The process was very smooth, and it only took him less than a quarter of an hour to establish a connection with the strange fire and control it to float up.

He was able to do so easily because there were no other cultivators' spiritual marks on the flame, and it seemed that Ye Jingyun had already erased her own mark before giving it to him.

Apart from controlling the suspension, Chen Lin also discovered that through this technique, he could change the shape of the flame, and with the increase or decrease of his spiritual power, he could make the flame larger or smaller.

This sparked his playful nature.

He changed the flame into a character, then into a person, then into a silver needle, and then into a piece of paper.

He could also control the power of the flame, making it roll back and forth on paper without burning it, or instantly burning a hole in an iron bowl.

What a great treasure!

Chen Lin grew more and more fond of it as he used it.

Unfortunately, no matter how good the thing was, it wasn't his. After playing with it for a while, he felt that he could apply it proficiently and put it back in the jade box.

Next, he began to study the other jade slip containing the talisman creation method.

The creation method of this talisman was very complex, and the content of the jade slip had obviously been deleted in part, with only the creation process remaining, and the talisman's name, use, and level not being marked.

It was clear that Ye Jingyun didn't want him to know.

Chen Lin didn't want to investigate either.

No matter what the relationship was between this woman and Yu Yuehai, or why she was secretly creating this talisman, it had nothing to do with him.

Since they wanted to treat him as a tool, he would just be a tool.

The less he knew, the greater his chances of survival.

He calmed down and entered a state of calm mind.

After a long while, Chen Lin put down the jade slip and began to create the Enlightenment Pill.

This talisman was too profound, and relying on his own understanding, he didn't know how long it would take to comprehend it. He still needed to use the Enlightenment Pill.

Such a high-level thing, if he missed the opportunity, it would be hard to get it again. He would master the creation method first.

As for its use, as long as Ye Jingyun used it, he would naturally know.

Not bad, after some deep thought, he still decided to create the talisman. He wanted to see what Ye Jingyun was planning to do by secretly creating it without Yu Yuehai's knowledge.

The materials for the Enlightenment Pill were very cheap, and he had just bought a lot of them. After a round of operation, the pill was created.

After taking the pill, his state immediately improved.

Although it's not like having divine assistance, he was still able to turn things around and become a top student from a mediocre one.

After the medicinal effects wore off, he had already grasped the basic method of refining talismans, and took out a talisman skin to begin preparing.

His innate refining method didn't require a thorough understanding of the principles, nor did it need any elaborate preparations; he could just start directly.

He opened the bottle of talisman ink, picked up the talisman pen, and dipped it in the ink.

Next, according to the refining method, he used his spiritual power to control the Cold Abyss Flame, and wrapped it around the pen tip.

Finally, he took out a Rejuvenating Pill and placed it in his mouth, before starting to refine the talisman.

It was the first time he used such a strange method to refine a talisman, and he had to multitask, which felt very awkward.

On one hand, he used his spiritual energy to control the talisman pen, and on the other hand, he used his spiritual energy to control the Cold Abyss Flame, which clearly exceeded Chen Lin's abilities. He drew two strokes, and suddenly, a loud "poof" sound was heard, and a burst of black light erupted.

He was startled and quickly retreated.

As the light dissipated, he was left staring in shock.

Not only was the talisman skin burned to ashes, but the table below was also blown into a large hole, with black smoke still rising from it.

He quickly rushed over to move the nearby talisman ink bottle and jade box, and used a ladle to pour water to extinguish the sparks. He was barely able to avoid a major fire disaster.

Then, he felt a wave of fear.

The consequences of failing to refine a high-level talisman were truly exaggerated; if he had been slower, he might have lost half of his hand.

Looking at the talisman pen in his hand, he saw that it hadn't been damaged, and the Cold Abyss Flame was still quietly suspended, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered that just as the energy was about to explode, the golden ring on the talisman pen seemed to emit a golden light circle, which blocked the explosive wave and saved his hand from injury.

Chen Lin felt that he hadn't seen it wrong, and couldn't help but look at the talisman pen with admiration.

Apart from the golden ring, the pen shaft made from the Cold Ice Jade material was also unaffected due to its material properties.

It was clear that this talisman pen was not randomly chosen, but was specially prepared for refining this talisman.

The more he understood, the more Chen Lin was curious about the effects of this talisman.

Using so many precious materials to assist in refining, the cost had already reached an astonishing figure; the resulting item would definitely be extraordinary.

Shaking his head, he suppressed his curiosity and began to clean up.

He found a wooden board to cover the hole on the table, and instead of starting over directly, he practiced drawing with ordinary talisman ink on ordinary talisman paper without using his spiritual energy.

Next, he practiced controlling the Cold Abyss Flame.

He practiced for over an hour, and after he felt that his technique was fine, he continued to refine the talisman.

This time, it went much better; the first few lines were completed in one go, until the first small talisman array was about to be completed, when it failed and burned.

Although it failed, it didn't cause as much commotion as before; the power only burned the talisman skin, leaving a charred mark on the wooden board.

However, this time he saw clearly that the golden ring on the talisman pen indeed emitted a light circle when the energy exploded, blocking the explosive wave and saving his hand from injury.

Good stuff!

He praised it, and continued to refine the talisman.

Not wanting to hide his incompetence, his refining speed was naturally very fast.

Although refining this talisman normally would require a very long time to complete all the talisman patterns, he only drew the beginning each time, and it didn't take long at all; he finished refining ten times before an hour had passed.

And at this time, he already had an additional black talisman in his hand, with a faint, blurry pattern on it, emitting a strong and mysterious aura.
