Chapter 1511: Chapter 1507: Stranger (Requesting Monthly Pass) Chapter 1511: Chapter 1507: Stranger (Requesting Monthly Pass) “I don't know what's wrong, but ever since I broke through to the True Immortal Stage, my cultivation level has been stagnant, as if something inside my body is preventing me from progressing.” Nie Caizhu said, her small mouth slightly pouting in distress.
“Is that so? Let me check.” Upon hearing this, Shen Luo took Nie Caizhu's hand, activated his mana, and checked, but he found no problems.
He tried several other methods, still to no avail, and couldn't help but furrow his brows, pondering with the cultivation experience from his own dreams.
“Cultivation stagnation is nothing unusual in the Cultivating Immortality world; it might be because I've been in closed-door cultivation these years without enough tempering experiences, cousin, you don't need to take it too much to heart,” said Nie Caizhu.
“Indeed, we can't rush this. We'll slowly look for the reason. How long can you stay in Tianji City this time?” Shen Luo asked.
“That batch of Magical Treasures will take another ten days or so to complete, I will stay here until then,” Nie Caizhu replied.
Hearing this, Shen Luo nodded silently, that length of time would be enough for him to investigate.
After talking for a while longer, Nie Caizhu got up to take her leave.
Shen Luo wanted her to stay so that it would be convenient for him to investigate the reason for her cultivation stagnation, but Nie Caizhu, feeling somewhat shy because of what had just happened, insisted on leaving.
“Hehe, Young Master Shen, I didn't expect you to have such a fiancee; you are indeed quite lucky,” Fire Spirit Child teased as soon as Nie Caizhu left.
“Daoist friend Fire Spirit Child, you must have overheard about Caizhu's cultivation stagnation just now, did you notice anything?” Shen Luo, who had expected Fire Spirit Child to be eavesdropping, asked without minding his presence.
“Your fiancee is not simple. Although she seems to be a young girl from the Human Race, there is something mysterious inside her body, and I can't see it very clearly. Her cultivation stagnation might be related to this,” Fire Spirit Child said seriously.
“Do you mean that Caizhu is not of the Human Race?” asked Shen Luo, startled by the comment.
“Didn't I say it? I can't see clearly yet. We will only know when she comes again and I can use my magic to check,” said Fire Spirit Child.
Upon hearing this, Shen Luo felt relieved; finding the cause would be good.
With a lead on Nie Caizhu's issue, he was no longer anxious. He closed his eyes, meditated for a moment, and then took out a scroll of runes that he had obtained from the second floor of the loft in the Donghua Dark Mansion.
Nie Caizhu said that Donghua Freelance Immortal was proficient in the Talisman Inscription Dao, and Shen Luo immediately thought of the scroll. Perhaps there would be surprises inside.
The rune scroll recorded many runes, nearly a hundred in total, arranged from low to high.
Shen Luo was very interested in the art of runes, and did not neglect even the low-order runes, examining each one and broadening his horizons.
When he got to the high-order runes, he looked even more carefully.
“Saint Elephant Talisman, Bewildering God Talisman, Illusionary Form Talisman… these are all top-notch runes,” Shen Luo couldn't help but exclaim.
The high-order runes in the scroll were around twenty to thirty kinds, including the Heart Purifying Charm that Wanshui Zhenren had tested before; many of these runes had unusual effects and were quite useful for him now.
Soon the rune scroll reached its end, and Shen Luo's eyes sharpened–the last section recorded five even more complex runes, surpassing the Earth-Attracting Thunder Talisman.
“These are Immortal Talms!” He exclaimed with joy.
He had always wanted to learn a few more Immortal Talismans, but unfortunately, he hadn't found any; unexpectedly, they were here.
“Wave-controlling Immortal Talisman, Divine Soldier Guardian Talisman, Calming Path Talisman, Soul-hooking and Soul-capturing Talisman, Heaven and Earth Destruction Talisman!” Shen Luo softly recited the names of the five Immortal Talismans.
Each of the five Immortal Talismans had different effects: the Wave-controlling Immortal Talisman increased speed, the Divine Soldier Guardian Talisman provided defense, the Calming Path Talisman stabilized the spirit, the Soul-hooking and Soul-capturing Talisman bewildered the heart, and the Heaven and Earth Destruction Talisman was for attacking and killing enemies.
According to the book of symbols, the power of the five celestial symbols is extremely potent, but their exact effects can only be known after they are refined.
However, the materials needed for the five celestial symbols are very rare, and he currently cannot gather even one kind; he still needs to slowly collect the materials.
Shen Luo shook his head, put away the book of symbols, took out the fiery red gourd, and poured out a Fire Lotus Pill to swallow.
No matter how wonderful the Talisman treasures are, they are just external aids; the most important thing is to elevate one's own cultivation realm.
As soon as the elixir entered the stomach, it dissolved, turning into an exceptionally powerful scorching stream that flowed throughout his body, causing excruciating pain wherever it went, as if being licked by flames.
Shen Luo hastily operated the Huangting Technique to absorb this potent medicinal power.
The cultivation of the Huangting Technique, which had always been progressing very slowly, suddenly advanced rapidly under the push of the medicinal power of the Fire Lotus Pill.
The scorching stream from the Fire Lotus Pill was quickly absorbed, the extreme pain completely subsided, and transformed into an indescribable sense of relief.
Shen Luo closed his eyes and cultivated; it took him half a day to fully absorb the medicinal power of the Fire Lotus Pill, making significant progress in the Huangting Technique.
“With just one pill having such an effect, this gourd full of Fire Lotus Pills is enough for me to cultivate the Huangting Technique to the True Immortal Middle Stage, or even the later stages.” He was secretly delighted and took out another pill to swallow and continued refining.
One day, above Tianji City's City Wall, a cluster of thick dark clouds suddenly drifted by, seemingly foretelling an impending storm.
However, even though the clouds hung over the City Wall for a long time, there was no sound of wind, nor did rain fall, and not even a hint of moisture or oppressive air could be detected.
Just as the disciples in the city were becoming increasingly astonished, the dark clouds gradually dispersed slightly, revealing a huge palace fortress with a peculiar design.
The palace seemed to be constructed of brick and stone, but the walls were not fully enclosed, leaving voids where many gears and pivot rods could be seen, gleaming with a metallic gloss.
Moreover, at the very top of the castle's highest spire, there was a large windmill, whose blades were slowly rotating, making a “creaking and grinding” noise, evidently, it was a Mechanism City.
The disciples of Tianji City were very curious about this Mechanism City that had suddenly appeared above Tianji City, with many carefully examining its mechanical structure, even taking out charcoal pencils and notebooks to sketch it.
At that moment, several unfamiliar figures suddenly appeared on the high walls of that fortress.
The leader, standing right in the middle of the high wall, was a tall and well-proportioned man, appearing to be in his thirties or forties, with a rugged and stern facial structure, giving a sense of resolute severity.
He was wearing a white robe, with a circular emblem on his chest, which bore a pattern exactly like the ones on the garments of Tianji City disciples.
To his left stood two men; one had a prominent forehead, a collapsed nose bridge, an overbite, and although he had a robust physique, his eyes were fierce, and he wore metal armor.
The other was much shorter, with sharp facial features and no better appearance than the first, but his eyes were quite unique, shimmered with a cunning light as if outlined with a golden rim.
On the resolute man's right side stood two individuals; one was an old woman in a gray robe, leaning on a purple walking stick, and the other was a round-faced girl, holding a jade green lotus seedpod.
Once these figures appeared, they attracted even more disciples from Tianji City to gather around, as a large flag was suddenly raised behind them, also bearing the same three characters for “Tianji City.”
After a while, several streaks of light flew through the high altitude and hovered in front of the Mechanism City.
The arrivals were Elder Fu and others.
