Chapter 95: How Did He Get Here?

After integrating various talismanic spells, Chu Ning began to further explore the usage of this divine ability.

For instance, he attempted to figure out what would happen if he wanted to replace one of the five talismanic spells within the Talisman Ring.

In the end, he discovered that he could only activate one spell and then had to wait for a quarter of an hour before infusing another talismanic spell.

He also tried infusing the same talisman twice, which didn't seem to have any adverse effects.

Finally, Chu Ning chose to infuse his Talisman Ring with one Diamond Talisman, one Yin Thunder Talisman, one Earth Evasion Talisman, and two Metal Sword Talismans.

These were the highest-level talismans he could currently create, and with this setup, his Talisman Ring could handle offense, defense, and escape.

However, this was only temporary.

Next, his goal was to infuse Elementary High-Grade Talismans.

Returning to the marketplace from the hill, Chu Ning closed the door and immediately made his way to the talisman-making room.

The Spirit Talisman Manual didn't just contain instructions for Elementary Mid-Grade Talismans; it also included three types of Elementary High-Grade Talismans.

Now that Chu Ning had reached the late Qi Refining stage, he could certainly attempt to create these more advanced talismans.

After cultivating the Refine God Art, he adjusted his spiritual sense to its optimal state.

Chu Ning retrieved the talisman brush and other tools from his storage bag.

At the same time, he recalled the contents of the Spirit Talisman Manual regarding the Elementary High-Grade Talismans.

There were three types of High-Grade Talismans: the offensive fire-attribute Crimson Flame Talisman, the Cloud Soaring Talisman that could help cultivators fly for a short duration, and the defensive Glimmering Ice Shield Talisman.

According to the manual, these three talismans increased in difficulty when it came to their creation.

Since Chu Ning had never crafted an Elementary High-Grade Talisman before, he decided to start with the seemingly simplest one, the Crimson Flame Talisman.

After running through the creation process in his mind, Chu Ning picked up his brush and began crafting the talisman.

Even though this was his first attempt at an Elementary High-Grade Talisman, with the empowerment of the Talismanic Spirit Body, it felt as if he had been working with this talisman for a long time already.

Just as he was about to start drawing, a slight accident caused the first piece of talisman paper to fail.

Chu Ning laid out a new sheet of talisman paper, closed his eyes, and briefly recalled the process of his previous failure.

Then, he dipped his brush in ink once more and began his second attempt.

This time, Chu Ning effortlessly completed the entire talisman in one go.

But just as the talisman patterns lit up with a crimson glow and were about to be absorbed into the paper...

"Sizzle!"

The talisman paper suddenly ignited, signaling another failure.

Chu Ning was stunned for a moment, not quite processing what had just happened.

He hadn't felt anything amiss during his attempt.

The appearance of the crimson light from the talisman patterns indicated, to some extent, that the talisman was a success.

So why did it suddenly catch fire at the last moment?

Perplexed, Chu Ning took out a third piece of talisman paper and started over, then a fourth.

Both of these attempts resulted in a slight disturbance in his spiritual power, causing the talisman paper to spoil before he could finish.

On the fifth try, Chu Ning finally managed to perfectly outline the talisman patterns.

However, to his astonishment, the paper ignited just like the second one, the instant the patterns formed and emitted the crimson glow.

Chu Ning stubbornly continued, refusing to believe that it was impossible. But after using ten sheets of talisman paper, he finally stopped.

Then, he furrowed his brows in deep thought.

Out of the ten attempts, he had successfully drawn the talisman patterns four times.

This was consistent with the initial forty percent success rate he had experienced with other talismans, but what puzzled Chu Ning was that all four of the seemingly successful talismans had inevitably burned up.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation since he started crafting talismans, and he was bewildered.

He then tried crafting the other two types of talismans with the same result.

However, when he attempted to craft the Diamond Talisman, an Elementary Mid-Grade Talisman, it worked flawlessly, and he completed it with ease.

"Could it be because I just reached the seventh layer of Qi Refining, and my spiritual power is still unstable?" Chu Ning tried to find a reason, but after thinking about it, he felt that wasn't the case.

After all, he hadn't felt any shortage of spiritual power during the talisman-making process.

Then, Chu Ning suddenly thought of another possibility and picked up a sheet of talisman paper to examine it.

"Could it be because of the quality of the talisman paper?" he muttered to himself.

With that thought in mind, he began to sense it with his spiritual sense.

After a short while, Chu Ning's gaze turned strange.

It seemed that the problem very likely lay with the talisman paper.

He had given quite a few of his self-made talisman papers to Mu Ling, and since learning how to craft talismans, he had been making a significant number of them daily.

The talisman papers made from the Ink Spirit Bamboo he had planted earlier were long gone.

The papers he was using now were the ones Lin Changqing had brought from the sect.

When he held these papers in his hand, they initially felt similar to his own, but when he carefully sensed them with his spiritual sense, he discovered that they contained some impurities and weren't as thoroughly purified.

The impurities were indeed minimal and didn't affect the paper's ability to hold Elementary Mid-Grade Talismans. However, when it came to the more advanced Elementary High-Grade Talismans, it was a different story.

Such an issue would never arise with the talisman papers he made himself.

In fact, it shouldn't occur with any other sect's talisman papers either.

After all, the same ordinary talisman paper was used for Elementary Low, Mid, and High-Grade Talismans, so the sect's standards for quality should be consistent across the board.

Chu Ning sighed, feeling somewhat exasperated with Qingxi Sect's management.

Then, a peculiar expression crossed his face as he mused, "I hope this isn't something that Zhuang Yunde is responsible for recycling."

However, based on his impression, while Zhuang Yunde was a bit greedy, he usually conducted himself in a cautious manner.

Chu Ning had no way of knowing the specifics.

Since he couldn't attempt to create Elementary High-Grade Talismans for the time being, Chu Ning decided to forgo the idea altogether.

He would use the talisman paper he had on hand to craft Elementary Low-Grade and Elementary Mid-Grade Talismans instead.

Fortunately, his Purple Crystal Bamboo would be ready to make into talisman paper soon, so he didn't need to worry too much.

And the reason his Purple Crystal Bamboo had grown so quickly was thanks to Ling Xiaobai.

After witnessing the growth of the Iron Stem Orchid, Chu Ning had a sudden inspiration one day while visiting the spirit field.

Since Ling Xiaobai could hasten the maturation of the Iron Stem Orchid and cause it to bear Iron Orchid Fruits, perhaps it could also hasten the maturation of the Purple Crystal Bamboo.

However, ten acres might be a bit too much for the little guy to handle.

But that was alright; they could just hasten the maturation bit by bit.

So, over the past two months, Ling Xiaobai had urinated on every Purple Crystal Bamboo plant in the spirit field.

But now, it seemed that they needed to speed things up even more.

Having decided that he wanted to hasten the maturation of the Purple Crystal Bamboo as soon as possible, Chu Ning headed straight to the spirit field the next morning.

His Green Wood Eternal Spring Art had already reached the seventh layer of Qi Refining, so he didn't need to rely on the Green Wood Spring Technique to rapidly increase his cultivation level for the time being.

Since that was the case, it wouldn't make much of a difference if he cultivated the Iron Stem Orchid in the marketplace.

By casting the Green Wood Spring Technique on the Purple Crystal Bamboo multiple times, he could hasten their maturation and make it more convenient for him to craft Elementary High-Grade Talismans.

Upon entering the spirit field, Chu Ning didn't rush to cast the Green Wood Spring Technique. Instead, he turned to Ling Xiaobai and said, "Come on, Xiaobai, come over here and pee on these bamboos."

Upon hearing Chu Ning's words, Ling Xiaobai blinked his eyes pitifully.

Ever since the first time he had caused trouble in the spirit field and was trapped by Chu Ning using the Beast Binding Talisman, he knew that these were things that Chu Ning cherished. So, he had been extra careful ever since.

However, there was one time when Chu Ning had asked him to pee on the bamboos, and the little guy happily obliged.

But after that, he was brought here every day.

Moreover, Chu Ning even forcibly made him drink more water, even though it was the spiritually-enhanced water created by the Sweet Dew Technique.

Nevertheless, Ling Xiaobai was still quite unhappy about being reduced to a fertilizer dispenser.

He had protested to Chu Ning multiple times, but to no avail.

Just the other day, he had finally managed to pee on every bamboo plant in the ten-acre field.

And now, he had to start all over again.

"Don't feel wronged. In a few more days, when these bamboos mature, I'll give you some to chew on," Chu Ning coaxed when he saw that Ling Xiaobai wasn't moving.

Sure enough, the little guy immediately sprang into action at the mention of food.

He ran around, urinating on several bamboos.

Chu Ning nodded in satisfaction and then took out a Magnolia Fruit from his storage bag and threw it to Ling Xiaobai.

Ling Xiaobai caught it and happily started munching on it.

At this point, Chu Ning began to cast the Green Wood Spring Technique repeatedly in the spirit field, both to enhance the quality of the Purple Crystal Bamboo and to hasten their maturation.

By the time it was noon, Chu Ning sat down in the spirit field to meditate and restore his spiritual power.

Then, he prepared to leave the spirit field and return to the marketplace with Ling Xiaobai.

"Hmm?"

Just then, Chu Ning's gaze casually swept towards the mountain where he had previously cultivated the Azurewood Sword Technique, and he caught sight of several figures, causing him to pause in surprise.

The Qingxi Sect's spirit field was known for having the highest concentration of spiritual energy in the surrounding area. There were also some other spirit fields nearby, which belonged to a cultivator family with the surname Sun.

However, the Sun family's spirit field was located to the northwest.

So, it was unusual for anyone to be at the mountain to the northeast.

That was precisely why Chu Ning had chosen to cultivate the Azurewood Sword Technique there every day.

But now, there were people on that mountain, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

However, Chu Ning soon shook his head, dismissing the thought.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw several figures running down from the mountain and rushing in his direction.

Chu Ning's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he turned back, reentering the spirit field's restrictions.

Alone in the outside world, Chu Ning's first instinct was to avoid unnecessary contact with others and prevent any potential trouble.

Although he had retreated back into the spirit field's restrictions, Chu Ning's gaze remained fixed on the outside.

While the spirit field's restrictions did have the effect of blocking outside lines of sight, their primary function was to prevent people from looking in from the outside.

There was no issue with looking out from within the restrictions.

Soon, four figures came rushing by, one in front and three chasing from behind.

"How did he end up here?"

What surprised Chu Ning was that he actually recognized the person in front.

It was none other than the old man surnamed Sun from Qinghefang.
