Incredible Insight: Cultivating Immortality at Eight, Astonishing Zhang Sanfeng

Chapter 17 – The True Interpretation of Minor Talisman Dao!

“Is it just to enter the treasury? No other requests?”

Song Yuanqiao and the others looked somewhat disappointed. They had hoped that Ning Changge would make more demands so they could feel like they were helping their junior brother. But they didn’t expect that he only wanted access to the treasury, which left them somewhat disappointed.

Wudang’s treasury was indeed a crucial place.

But for Ning Changge, just saying he wanted to go in was enough. His status in Wudang was not to be underestimated!

Ning Changge smiled and said, “Senior brothers, don’t be disappointed. There will be times when I need your help in the future.”

He was just joking. He knew very well that entering the treasury was not a difficult task for him.

Song Yuanqiao handed him a key and said, “Junior Brother, you can go by yourself. Take whatever you like, and I’ll inform the master later.”

“That’s right, as long as it helps you, just let us know, and we’ll do our best,” added another senior brother.

Ning Changge nodded with a smile. He didn’t really mind these things. His senior brothers had already helped him a lot. Having a stable environment for his growth was the most precious thing for him.

After bidding farewell, he turned and left, heading straight for the treasury.

When Ning Changge’s figure disappeared from their sight, Song Yuanqiao suddenly asked, “What else do you think our junior brother needs besides scriptures?”

“Spiritual objects and medicinal herbs?” Mo Shenggu’s eyes lit up.

Zhang Cuishan shook his head slowly. “But we can’t tell if they contain spiritual energy or not.”

“That’s not a problem. Spiritual objects might be hard to judge, but when it comes to medicinal herbs, as long as they are of old age, most of them are likely spiritual herbs. We’ll go down the mountain in a while and search carefully for our junior brother. We can also check if the Five Mountain Sword Sects if they have any.”

“Good idea! Little Seventh, your quick witted!”

…

Ning Changge sensed the conversation of his senior brothers, shaking his head and smiling. There was a faint warmth in his heart.

But this also reminded him of something.

“Perhaps … I can create a method that allows others to perceive spiritual energy? Or maybe some kind of talisman?” Ning Changge’s eyes brightened. Studying talismans had always been one of his next goals.

His senior brothers were going down the mountain, and taking some talismans with them would make it quite safe for them.

“I can research in that direction in the future.”

Soon, Ning Changge stopped in front of the gate of Wudang’s treasury.

Several of Wudang disciples were guarding the bronze gate. When they saw Ning Changge, they hurriedly bowed with admiration and enthusiasm. The astonishing incident from that day had made all Wudang disciples aware of who this extraordinary junior martial uncle was.

“Greetings, Junior Martial Uncle!”

Ning Changge smiled and walked into the treasury.

Treasure Trove.

The treasury was aptly named.

As soon as he entered, Ning Changge was somewhat stunned. Wudang was a relatively new sect, but thanks to the formidable strength of Zhang Sanfeng, it had accumulated quite a bit of wealth, more so than he had imagined. Rows of black wooden shelves held myriad treasures.

Jade, rare minerals, medicinal herbs, precious swords and sabers, as well as some rare trinkets.

Spiritual energy quietly surged into his eyes.

He activated the Heavenly Eye!

The world in Ning Changge’s eyes suddenly changed. Among the items on the shelves, a small portion emitted a faint spiritual light.

“There are indeed some!” Ning Changge was thrilled. Glancing over, most of them were jade and herbs with spiritual light. Some rare minerals also had it. As for swords and weapons, there wasn’t a single one.

This was in line with his earlier expectations.

“It seems that there were probably no immortal cultivators in this world before, so there are no magical or spiritual weapons. But the materials present are sufficient.”

The rest, he could create himself!

The Dao of Talismans, the Dao of Alchemy, and the Dao of Artefacts. He’d take one step at a time.

Ning Changge took a few pieces of the most abundant spiritual jade and a 300-year-old Lingzhi mushroom. With this, he left the rest behind. If he needed more, he could always come back.

…

Time passed slowly.

In the scripture chamber, spiritual energy flowed continuously into Ning Changge’s body.  The Eternal Verdant Art was extremely potent in absorbing spiritual energy, it’s effects could almost be a plunder!

At this moment, a vortex of spiritual energy, several zhangs (unit of measurement) in diameter, rotated around Ning Changge.

“Break for me!” Ning Changge shouted in his mind.

In response, bursts of spiritual light flashed, and Ning Changge felt the quantity and quality of the spiritual energy in his dantian increase instantly.

He had reached the Fifth layer of Qi Refining realm!

With a satisfied nod, Ning Changge looked out of the window with a hint of joy in his eyes.

“Thanks to my previous foundation, I’ve finally broken through. But further cultivation will not be as quick.

“If I want to progress quickly, there are only two ways. One, take it slow, absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, or find a place with denser spiritual energy to save a lot of time. Two, use the power of elixirs to speed up the process.

“Now that I’ve broken through, I can be regarded as having reached the mid-level of Qi Refining realm. Also brining improvement in my overall strength. Henceforth, I can allocate some of my energy to study the Dao of Talisman and the Dao of Alchemy.”

Ning Changge thought to himself.

In about half a month, Song Yuanqiao and the others would be heading down the mountain to support other sects, and Ning Changge didn’t want to waste time on the journey or leave the mountain. So, he thought about preparing some trump cards for Song Yuanqiao and the others. He clearly heard what Yue Buqun had said earlier, suggesting that Zuo Lengchan might possess the strength of a Master.

Talisman seals were a good choice; they could be used to inscribe his immortal techniques and arts. With Ning Changge’s current strength at the Fifth layer of Qi Refining Realm, the power of these arts would be sufficient to deal with a Master like him.

Opening the scriptures, he had prepared long ago, Ning Changge began to study them seriously. Nearby, he had some talisman papers and cinnabar ink, all ready for practice and experimentation. When he succeeded, he would use spiritual jade as the carrier for the talisman. That way, he could fully unleash the power of the inscribed arts and even gain some bonuses.

He contemplated while occasionally flashes of insights emerged from time to time.

Then, he used cinnabar ink to write and draw on the talisman papers. Complex characters and runes filled with spiritual resonance appeared under his brush.

At first, there were failures, but with more attempts, the runes became more and more refined.

…

[You have contemplated the Yin Symbol Scripture, Yang Symbol Scripture, Supreme Ultimate Natural True One Five-Grade Talismans, and tried to inscribe talismans with spiritual energy 3,000 times. You have grasped the principles of transforming spiritual energy into talismans. You have derived the true interpretation of Minor Talisman Dao!]

[You have inscribed your own techniques into runes and jade stones, creating various talismans like Riding the Winds and Controlling the Clouds Talisman, Wooden Green Dragon Sword, and Heavenly Eye for Observing the Skies Talisman!]

Ten days later.

Ning Changge looked at the shimmering talismans and the delicate jade stone talismans beside him, his eyes filled with joy.

Dao of Talisman had finally taken form!!
