Omnipotent Overlord

Chapter 47: Grandmaster Zhou’s Talisman

Hu~, I didnt think this Soul Hex Technique would be so difficult.

It was night. Li Mo had to lay in bed for more than six hours to recover from exhaustion. 

Li Mo used the Soul Hex Technique of the Demon race on Yang Jianchuan. Simply put, this magical art was the best hypnotizing method ever conceived.

After countless tries of turning Yang Jianchuan into a good person, he used the last vestige of his energy to turn his lust for women into lust for men. 

Old Mei used this technique to deal with those two imperial figures. And I had to exhaust all my energy just to change Yang Jianchuans orientation. My Soul Hex Technique doesnt even compare to Old Meis.

Oh, my stage must have something to do with it. Since Ive only achieved Foundation and didnt truly start the Body Tempering Stage, using Soul Hex Technique to this extent is not that bad in fact.

Li Mo took out Millennium Cold Jade and the three coins.

Millennium Cold Jade was essential in body tempering, while the heaven, earth, and man gold coins were an unexpected bonus.

With these three coins I can slightly make use of Staff of Origin.

After some thought, Li Mo put away the coins and took out the centennial knotweed next to Millennium Cold Jade. He used the Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art to extract their essence.

In case of a normal item, it would only have taken a short while. But he was going to use the essence to refine his blood. This required more attention from him.

He extracted the essence of the two items then purified them until they reached a certain level. This times essence laid between spiritual qi and physical form.

Only this degree of purity was useful in refining the blood.

Li Mo held the two essences in his palms and inhaled. The essences slowly entered inside his body through his palms. 

The two essences roamed around his body beneath his skin as they glowed.

Three hours later, Li Mo was pale as he completed the first step of blood refining.

This amount wasnt enough to fully refine his blood, only barely considered a small progress.

And yet even with only 40% of his blood refined, it rose its quality by tens of times. 

Li Mo collected the leftover essence into a bottle for the next time. 

Blood refining couldnt be rushed. Being too eager would lead to excessive blood loss and untimely death

A white talisman floated above Li Mo. It was released once he finished extracting Millennium Cold Jades essence.

What was a talisman? Was it the piece of paper with a character written on it? No, that was no talisman, but a seal.

A talisman was written with spiritual qi. Controlling spiritual qi was extremely hard as it had intangible and shapeless. And using such an arcane ink to write talismans was even harder.

There were all kinds of talismans as well as different effects. A truly powerful heavenly talisman for instance, could scar the world and rend the heavens. 

With how many talismans there were, the attack type wasnt the only one. With a talisman drawing technique, one could create the most outstanding and outlandish talismans.

Li Mo knew many talisman arts of different races. His knowledge of the Human races talisman arts was quite deep. However, the past Li Mo was obsessed with cultivating, to reach a stage never achieved before in this world. So much so the Soul Hex Technique, talisman arts, puppet arts and many others, he only committed them to mind, and not researched them in depth. 

The talisman floating above him was only one character, mountain.

Talismans were graded from one to ten according to their strengths.

With the deep white color of the talisman, it put it in the third grade. As for its type, it belonged to the heavenly talisman category.

Li Mo activated the heavenly talisman by touching it with his finger.

Whoosh~

The talisman changed into a small mountain then grew and grew

Change!

Thanks to Li Mos quick reaction, he sent a tendril of spiritual qi and made the expanding mountain vanish

That was close. A few seconds later and the whole mansion wouldve been in ruins.

If a mere 3rd grade talisman has such power, it seems I have missed a great deal of things that could have made me stronger in the past.

The white talisman still floated above Li Mo, but much more faded now.

A talisman grew weaker the more times it was used. Such downside could be overcome if the talisman was drawn using a special item however.

Absorb.

Li Mo took out a spiritual qi blue bead and drove the mountain talisman into it.

It was common knowledge that jade was the perfect carrier of talismans. The better the jade the longer the talisman would last. As Li Mo used the blue pearls of spiritual qi to store it, he would have one to two years time before it dissipated.

Li Mo tidied up the place then left for school.

He just crossed the schools gates and someone rushed to tell him Huang Lixing was waiting for him at the museum. 

In the quiet and peaceful museum, Huang Lixing was holding a magnifying glass as he studied the robot cat. 

Teacher. Li Mo was the first to speak and told him of his affair with Qin Zhen.

Huang Lixing suddenly realized, I thought all night long but never could understand. Even robbing a bank wouldnt get you so much money!

Its good that you have money now, freeing me of one worry. Yaoyao goes anywhere theres money. Now

Teacher, me and Huang Yao wont work. We are worlds apart.

Huang Lixing lifted his eyes on Li Mo.

Ive always seen her as a sister. Not once have I ever thought of her like that. Furthermore, I already have someone I like.

Little Mo, its fine if you dont want to be with Yaoyao. Love cant be forced. But I just cant believe this talk of you having someone you like.

Li Mo smiled, I have. And now that you mention it, I also got a fiance.

I actually heard of this. Your clan arranged a marriage for you when you were little. But didnt you say you never acknowledged it?

Li Mo nodded.

I wont force you if you dont want to talk about it. With that out of the way, come, I have something great to show you.

Huang Lixing beckoned Li Mo. This was his nature, free and generous. While often chatty. 

Huang Lixing took out a thumb sized jade for Li Mo.

This is a gift to all who participated in last nights private auction. It is handcrafted by Grandmaster Zhou himself and contains his blessing, priceless. They only gave me one at first, but after an intense series of requests, they gave me two more.

I gave one to Yaoyao, while I am wearing mine. The last one is of course yours.

Li Mo took the jade and watched it in shock.
