Chapter 178: Effect of the Blood Symbol Spirit Body, Wan Du Shi Xin

“The Blood Talisman Spirit Body is truly mysterious.”

“It gives one many insights into the talisman path as if they were born with them.”

“Just by continuously learning and researching the talisman path, one can grasp and understand many difficult talisman concepts.”

Lu Changsheng quietly experienced the changes brought by the Blood Talisman Spirit Body.

When the Spirit Body was activated, thin blood patterns gradually surfaced on his dantian, eventually merging into his blood and bones.

Almost instantly, many talisman path experiences and insights flooded his mind.

These insights were very profound.

They were hard to describe.

But being a Top-Tier second-rank Talisman Master.

Possessing a talisman path inheritance like the Nine-Nine Mysterious Talisman Scripture.

Lu Changsheng clearly knew that this was a kind of talisman path enlightenment.

This talisman path enlightenment wasn’t like skills gained from a system lottery, directly pouring talisman knowledge and experience into the mind.

Instead, it turned into an innate talent.

It allowed one to gradually understand and absorb the talisman path, making rapid progress.

Xiao Xiyue had written about the Blood Talisman Spirit Body’s abilities in her letter before.

By burning essence blood, it increased the success rate of making talismans.

Burning essence blood and lifespan to enhance the grade of talismans was also among these insights.

And it transformed into an innate ability.

But this ability came at a great cost.

For instance, to draw a second-rank talisman, it would take half an hour.

One would need to burn essence blood for half an hour.

When the talisman was completed, the essence blood would be depleted and would take at least three to four months to recover.

As for burning lifespan to enhance talisman grades, it was also related to one’s cultivation.

For example, a Qi Refining cultivator wanting to upgrade a first-rank talisman to a second-rank talisman would need to consume ten to twenty years of lifespan.

To upgrade a second-rank talisman to a third-rank talisman would likely exhaust all essence blood and lifespan.

Moreover, even with exhausted essence blood and lifespan, the talisman grade might not necessarily improve.

One could say this Blood Talisman Spirit Body’s ability was powerful but not heaven-defying.

“This Blood Talisman Spirit Body’s ability is quite suitable for making talisman laborers.”

“Not only does it have extraordinary talent in the talisman path, progressing rapidly, but it can also nourish talismans with blood at critical moments to enhance their grade.”

“If an ordinary rogue cultivator awakens this Blood Talisman Spirit Body, it might even bring trouble.”

Lu Changsheng pondered the Blood Talisman Spirit Body’s abilities.

Geniuses are rare.

But not all geniuses are valued and cherished.

Like Bai Ling.

With a talent not inferior to Top-Tier spiritual roots.

If he hadn’t been picked up by me, he might have died at the hands of horse bandits.

Such cases are not uncommon in the cultivation world.

Many people, upon discovering a genius, first think about maximizing their benefits rather than nurturing them.

After all, nurturing someone requires not only substantial resources but also considerations of loyalty and other aspects.

“So in the end, it’s all about strength.”

“Without strength, one is inherently guilty.”

“With me as her father, as long as Wangshu awakens the Blood Talisman Spirit Body and starts practicing the Nine-Nine Mysterious Talisman Scripture, becoming a fourth-rank Talisman Master in the future is not a problem!”

After awakening the Blood Talisman Spirit Body and understanding it roughly.

Lu Changsheng knew this Spirit Body could make rapid progress in the talisman path.

Growing to a third-rank or even fourth-rank Talisman Master.

With the Nine-Nine Mysterious Talisman Scripture’s talisman path inheritance, as long as my daughter is willing to learn, she can certainly develop the Blood Talisman Spirit Body to the extreme and become a fourth-rank Talisman Master.

“It’s a pity this Blood Talisman Spirit Body doesn’t help with cultivation.”

“If the Blood Talisman Spirit Body also aided in cultivation, Wangshu’s future potential would be even higher.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

Like his son Lu Qingshan’s Geng Metal Body, which aids in cultivating metal attribute techniques.

Even with Sixth-Tier spiritual roots, as long as he practices metal attribute techniques, his speed is not inferior to Top-Tier spiritual roots.

But the Blood Talisman Spirit Body has no such enhancement.

Fortunately, my daughter Lu Wangshu’s spiritual roots are not bad, being Fourth-Tier.

Otherwise, even with the Blood Talisman Spirit Body, her cultivation would be delayed by the talisman path.

“But I have the Nine-Nine Mysterious Talisman Scripture.”

“This talisman path technique, after condensing the life talisman, enhances the drawing and use of talismans, also aiding in cultivation.”

“In this way, it indirectly provides benefits.”

Lu Changsheng thought of his Nine-Nine Mysterious Talisman Scripture.

This talisman path technique, being a legitimate-level technique, is naturally profound.

It allows one’s cultivation and talisman path to complement each other and progress together.

“This Blood Talisman Spirit Body is related to the blood pattern on the dantian.”

“If I can thoroughly understand this blood pattern, sketch it, and draw it into a talisman, could it enhance others’ talisman path insights?”

Lu Changsheng suddenly thought.

Many formations, talismans, and even techniques and spells in the cultivation world are formed by learning and imitating the spiritual patterns of heavenly rules.

This blood pattern of the Blood Talisman Spirit Body is also a manifestation of heavenly rules, very profound.

If I can sketch it, it might have some of its effects.

“Such spiritual patterns formed by heavenly rules are not easy to comprehend.”

“If one could understand the profoundness at a glance, spirit bodies wouldn’t be so rare.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head, not thinking much about it.

This blood pattern is very profound.

Comprehending it is as difficult as understanding the eighty-one spiritual patterns of the Nine-Nine Mysterious Talisman Scripture.

It’s not something he can comprehend at his current level.

He can study it later when he advances further in the talisman path.

He stepped out of the large vat.

There was still about half a vat of spirit blood left.

Lu Changsheng didn’t waste it.

He cast a Cleanse spell, cleaned his body, dressed, and stored the remaining spirit blood in a Gourd to feed the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm.

“Such beast spirit blood is not something ordinary Qi Refining cultivators can withstand.”

“If I want Wangshu to awaken the Blood Talisman Spirit Body, I must not do this.”

“When I go to Nine Heavens Immortal City, I’ll see if there’s any second-rank spirit blood with gentle attributes.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the spirit blood Gourd in his hand and murmured.

The process of awakening his Spirit Body seemed simple.

But that’s because he had already broken through to Foundation Establishment and had practiced the Hundred Refined Body Technique.

If it were an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator, the stimulation from three types of spirit blood would damage their meridians and dantian.

He planned to awaken Lu Wangshu’s Blood Talisman Spirit Body when she’s about ten years old.

At that age, Lu Wangshu wouldn’t be able to endure such spirit blood body refinement.

So he must find a kind of gentle attribute spirit blood that even benefits upon absorption to activate her Spirit Body.

But there are still more than ten years, so Lu Changsheng was not in a hurry.

If all else fails, he could ask the child’s mother.

If he couldn’t obtain it, Xiao Xiyue, with Azure Cloud Sect’s resources, could easily get second-rank spirit blood.

Just like the detailed information about the Blood Talisman Spirit Body and the Green Jade Luan Bird.

He had searched through many ancient books but found no information.

But Xiao Xiyue found detailed information shortly after returning to Azure Cloud Sect.

“This is the advantage of having a sect backing.”

Lu Changsheng sighed.

He deeply understood the benefits of having a big backing.

He then went to the table, took out a Talisman Pen and materials from his Storage Bag, and began drawing talismans.

After awakening the Blood Talisman Spirit Body, he became somewhat inexplicably proficient in drawing talismans.

It was as if he knew he was a born talisman genius when he held the pen.

Lu Changsheng fluidly drew two second-rank talismans.

“Drawing second-rank talismans doesn’t let me feel the benefits of the Blood Talisman Spirit Body.”

“I need new talisman path inheritance for me to comprehend, or I need to draw third-rank talismans to feel the effects of the Blood Talisman Spirit Body.”

Lu Changsheng put away the Talisman Pen.

Now, drawing second-rank talismans for him was as easy as eating or drinking.

Only drawing third-rank talismans, which he had never tried, could give him a sense of challenge.

He walked out of the courtyard and went to his Ping’an Talisman Hall to check the situation.

His son Lu Xian’er was there.

Otherwise, he rarely visited before.

But spending this time was worth it.

With his early teachings and this past year’s guidance, Lu Xian’er’s puppet skills had significantly improved.

In about a year or so, he might be able to create a first-rank low-Tier puppet and become a puppet master.

Then, Lu Changsheng planned to open a shop in Hongye Valley Marketplace.

He would have Lu Xian’er, Lu Quanzhen, Lu Ruyi, and Lu Yun manage the shop together.

They could learn the ropes of running a business.

After all, when he establishes his family in the future, he will definitely need to do business.

In this regard, he definitely won’t have the time or energy, so he will leave it to his wives and children to manage.

And to have his children manage it, they need to learn, experience, and understand now.

This way, he can also see if his children have talent in this area.

If they do, they can develop in this direction in the future.

If they don’t have the talent, they can manage other aspects in the future.

After all, in Lu Changsheng’s vision, his family has so much inheritance, and the future industrial chain is also very broad.

So his children will have many choices for development.

“Master, all the Top-Tier talismans in the shop are sold out. Can you restock some during this period? Many customers are asking.”

Gao He saw Lu Changsheng coming and immediately spoke up.

“Hmm? Why did this month’s Top-Tier talismans sell so fast?”

Lu Changsheng was a bit surprised to hear this.

Because of him, the business at Ping’an Talisman Hall is indeed good.

Every month, a Second-Tier Spirit Talisman and ten Top-Tier talismans are basically sold out.

This provides him with a considerable income every month.

And because he is often not around, he sometimes forgets and leaves dozens of Top-Tier talismans with Gao He.

He remembered restocking not long ago, so why were they sold out so quickly?

“I heard that two monsters fought in the Heiyun Mountain Range the day before yesterday, collapsing a mountain peak and causing a glow in the sky. It is suspected to be a relic, attracting many cultivators to explore.”

“So many people bought High-Tier and Top-Tier talismans. Many old customers also came to inquire, so I took out the previous stock for sale.”

Gao He explained.

“A relic?”

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Knowing that such things attract a group of cultivators seeking opportunities.

At the same time, it also promotes the sale of pills, talismans, and Artifacts.

“Okay, I’ll draw more talismans in the next few days.”

Lu Changsheng nodded upon hearing this.

Since there is such a thing, he is willing to sell more talismans.

One is to make money, and the other is to earn some reputation for the shop.

After all, when other shops are out of stock, his shop can restock, making people think of his shop first when buying talismans next time.

But he has no interest in this so-called relic.

He then warned his son Lu Xian’er in the shop to stay away from such relics.

Don’t be tempted to go exploring or be coaxed into it.

“Dad, you don’t need to say this, I know.”

“Besides, I’m only at the fourth level of Qi Refining. Going to explore such relics is just asking for death.”

Lu Xian’er grinned upon hearing his father’s words.

“Good, as long as you know.”

Seeing his son understand, Lu Changsheng nodded in relief.

After all, in the world of immortal cultivation, there are stories of small characters rising through fortuitous encounters every day.

He really feared that his son would get impulsive or be coaxed by some rogue cultivators and run off.

So even though he usually instructs on this aspect, he continues to remind him.

Five Poison Sect.

Heavenly Spider Peak.

In an antique and luxurious room, colorful mist rose from a spring pool.

Beside the pool were white silk clothes, a gold-edged bra with a purple phoenix, plain underwear, and jade white stockings, neatly folded.

There was also a hideous blood-red spider, glowing with a sinister red light.

In the colorful spring pool, there was a girl with an exquisite face and ethereal temperament.

The girl’s beautiful eyes were closed, with only her head and black hair floating on the water.

“Xiaochan, come to my hall.”

At this moment, a voice sounded in the girl’s mind.

“Master?”

Meng Xiaochan opened her eyes upon hearing this.

She immediately stood up from the colorful spring pool, completely naked.

In an instant, her perfect figure was fully revealed.

Her slender waist was a handful, and her legs were straight and long.

Her black silky hair draped over her perky buttocks.

Her skin, wet with colorful crystalline water droplets, made her snow-white and jade-like skin even more translucent and radiant, as if her entire body was glowing.

The girl floated up gracefully, lightly raising her hand.

Colorful water droplets slid off her skin, making her clothes and shoes by the pool fly up and neatly dress her.

Dressed in a purple dress, Meng Xiaochan’s ethereal temperament made her look like a celestial fairy.

In stark contrast to the hideous blood-red spider beside her.

Leaving the room, Meng Xiaochan immediately turned into a stream of light and flew to a luxurious palace at the peak, walking straight in.

This palace was very luxurious and magnificent.

The floor was laid with black jade obsidian, smooth and bright, and the walls were intricately decorated.

But these paintings were all of snakes, scorpions, spiders, butterflies, and poisonous insects.

Coupled with the silver snake-shaped lamp stands on the walls, it looked strangely eerie and creepy.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak—”

Seeing Meng Xiaochan arrive, a purple jade spider with more than a dozen eyes opened its eyes beside the black jade bed.

“Greetings, Master!”

Meng Xiaochan looked at this scene calmly and respectfully saluted the black jade bed.

“Xiaochan, you’re here.”

A lazy and charming voice came from behind the purple veil on the bed, enchanting and captivating.

“Master, what is the matter?”

Meng Xiaochan continued to ask.

The purple veil slowly parted.

On the black jade bed lay a woman in her late twenties in a purple dress.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful and seductive, with long, narrow phoenix eyes that seemed to have just woken from a dream, hazy like peach blossoms, with a mesmerizing power.

Her reclining posture showcased her voluptuous and perfect curves wrapped in a purple gauze dress.

Her proud and erect chest was followed by a slender waist like a weak willow, and a round and plump hip.

The curves were breathtaking, faintly visible under the purple gauze.

Her long, white legs were slightly bent, seductive like a snake’s tail.

“Xiaochan, I remember you lived in the Jiang Kingdom before?”

Nangong Mili’s charming lips parted, her voice alluringly sweet.

“Yes, Master. I grew up in the Jiang Kingdom.”

Meng Xiaochan nodded.

“I have a task that requires a trip to the Jiang Kingdom.”

“In that case, you will accompany me.”

The woman in the purple dress lazily got up from the black jade bed.

A strand of black hair slipped from behind her ear, falling on her full and erect chest.

The purple gauze dress fell, slightly covering her snow-white, jade-like feet.

“A trip to the Jiang Kingdom?”

Hearing this, Meng Xiaochan’s heart paused.

A tall, handsome figure with a graceful and slender posture appeared in her mind.

“Yes, you are currently at the bottleneck of the early stage of Foundation Establishment. It’s good to go out with me.”

“If this task is successful, it will benefit you. It’s an opportunity.”

Nangong Mili’s voice was soft and alluring.

“Master, what is the task?”

Meng Xiaochan asked.

“You will know when the time comes.”

Nangong Mili’s jade-like feet moved gracefully to Meng Xiaochan’s side, smiling lightly.

Her voice was filled with seductive charm.

Or rather, her entire being exuded an enchanting allure, making people tempted to ravage her.

“Master, when do we leave?”

Meng Xiaochan asked, not questioning further.

A master’s orders cannot be disobeyed.

Moreover, Nangong Mili personally going out indicates this task is not simple.

Besides, the Jiang Kingdom’s cultivation world is vast. As long as she doesn’t encounter him, there should be no problem.

“In a month.”

Nangong Mili’s lips parted, her jade-like fingers lightly stroking Meng Xiaochan’s face.

“Yes, Master.”

Meng Xiaochan nodded.

“How is your cultivation of the Wan Du Shi Xin Art?”

The woman in the purple dress pinched her disciple’s cheek and asked.

“Please inspect, Master.”

Meng Xiaochan extended her fair wrist for inspection.

Her skin was very fair, but Nangong Mili’s skin was even fairer.

So fair it seemed a bit sickly, giving her delicate yet curvaceous body a fragile beauty, evoking pity.

“Not bad, worthy of the Qiansi Wan Du Body. Now your poison body is taking shape.”

“If you complete this task successfully, I will apply for the Shi Xin Gu for you in the sect.”

Nangong Mili’s seductive face showed a faint smile, enchanting and alluring.

“Thank you, Master!”

Meng Xiaochan heard this and immediately showed a look of joy.

The Thousand Silken Venom Body is a type of Spirit Body.

And the Five Poison Sect happens to have this Spirit Body inheritance.

As long as she has the Shi Xin Gu, her Wan Du Shi Xin Art can reach perfection.

This will not only improve her Qi by fifty percent but also increase her chance of forming a core by fifty percent.

This gives her a high probability of achieving a True Core!

“It’s a pity I lost the Locking Emotion Gu, otherwise with it, becoming the Five Poison Sect’s Saintess would be much easier.”

Meng Xiaochan sighed slightly in her heart.

She thought of the Locking Emotion Gu in Lu Changsheng’s hands.

This Locking Emotion Gu is a Top-Tier earth spirit Gu, approaching the level of a heaven spirit Gu.

Even in the Five Poison Sect, it is extremely rare.
