Chapter 741 - 310: Pure and Alluring—Isn’t This Exactly What You Want?
Five days later, before Chu Ning, there were already fifteen Ice Shadow Sword Talismans.
At this moment, Chu Ning finally stopped making talismans.
The reason was simple, he had run out of materials.
The Ice Condensing Jade he bought from the Frost Moon Pavilion, Chu Ning managed to make a total of fifty pieces of Talisman Jade.
In five days, Chu Ning carved ten pieces each day, using them all up, excluding the initial five practice pieces.
The subsequent success rate of talisman making barely reached thirty percent.
Such a success rate in talisman making was undoubtedly extremely low for Chu Ning.
After all, even when he first learned how to make talismans, his success rate was higher than this.
This demonstrated how difficult it was to master the talisman-making technique for top-level talismans.
If not for the support of the Talismanic Spirit Body, even a ten percent success rate in talisman making would be considered good.
Casually taking five Jade Talismans, Chu Ning moved his thoughts, and a talisman ring appeared in his palm.
This talisman ring emerged when he broke through to the True Talisman Spirit Body.
The True Talisman Spirit Body awakened with two talents, one being the ability to create magic true talismans from his spells, activating them with talismans.
The other was the ability to convert his drawn talismans into true talisman techniques stored in the talisman ring for instant cast.
After years of hiding talent, Chu Ning also learned that this talent carries a hidden divine talent.
After using the true talisman technique a hundred times, he can condense a talisman seed to cast spells without the talisman ring.
However, Chu Ning seldom used this talent after his realm increased.
The power of the cultivation techniques he practiced was considerable, added with the various magical treasures he possessed.
Thus, the use of talismans naturally decreased.
However, the Ice Shadow Sword Talisman was different, surpassing the Golden Core Late Stage peak, comparable to an Early Stage of Nascent Soul cultivator’s attack.
Even for Chu Ning, deploying it now was not easy.
So at this moment, Chu Ning stored five Ice Shadow Sword Talismans within his talisman ring without hesitation.
The remaining Ice Shadow Sword Talismans were stored in his storage bag.
"After activating a hundred Ice Shadow Sword Talismans’ true talisman techniques, I can condense the talisman seed of this Ice Shadow Sword Talisman.
Then, it would be akin to mastering a top-level Ice Attribute technique.
However, reaching a hundred uses, who knows when that will be."
In the past, Chu Ning wouldn’t hesitate to waste a hundred advanced talismans, condensing the talisman seed first.
But now, he didn’t even have a hundred Ice Shadow Sword Talismans on hand, so he couldn’t bear to waste them.
"Looks like when Xi Wenxia comes next time, I’ll have to ask her to inquire at Frost Moon Pavilion whether they have more Ice Condensing Jade."
Chu Ning muttered to himself, left the Talisman Making Room, and then entered the Alchemy Room.
In the past month or two, his divine techniques had undoubtedly seen significant advancements.
With the Earth Vein Essence Fire, the power of his Fire Attribute cultivation methods increased dramatically.
Combined with his Noon Fire Spirit Body’s talent of doubling attacks, even wielding the Fire Spirit Sword alone could rival a Golden Core Late Stage, even a Golden Core Late Stage peak existence.
Succeeding in refining the Golden Spirit Sword, he possessed spirit swords of four attributes among the Five Elements.
Moreover, the Yellow Court Seal was ready to be wielded, useful for life-saving at critical moments.
The creation of the Ice Shadow Sword Talisman extended his attack methods further.
However, Chu Ning was well aware that no matter how many divine techniques he had, ultimately, the realm’s level, strength of magical power, and divine sense were key to enhancing true strength.
So next, Chu Ning planned to begin secluded cultivation for various cultivation techniques.
Besides the Snow Crystal Mushroom Spiritual Liquid, assistance from various elixirs was indispensable.
He stayed in the Alchemy Room for ten days straight.
Be it Qi Refining or Refining Spirit elixirs, several furnaces were crafted, and only then did Chu Ning leave the Alchemy Room to return to cultivation.
"Oh, Xiaobai seems to be advancing."
At this very moment, Chu Ning suddenly sensed something.
He immediately arrived outside the Spirit Beast Room.
Soon enough, he observed that although Ling Xiaobai’s eyes were still tightly closed, its posture had changed from lying down to crouching.
Meanwhile, the aura surrounding it had already reached the level akin to a Tier Five Demon Beast comparable to a Golden Core cultivator.
However, it was apparent that the absorption of spiritual qi was incomplete, causing the aura to be somewhat unstable.
As Chu Ning pondered, the spiritual qi surrounding Ling Xiaobai began to surge violently.
Large amounts of spiritual qi started converging towards it.
Ling Xiaobai was quickly enveloped into a white fog ball, making it hard for even Chu Ning to see clearly.
Subsequently, a qi vortex appeared above its head, growing larger and larger.
In just a moment, the qi vortex reached beyond the cave mansion.
The entire Ice Island Immortal City’s spiritual qi rapidly gathered above Chu Ning’s cave mansion.
Creating a heavenly phenomenon.
"Core Formation Phenomenon!"
At this time, the cultivators of Ice Island Immortal City couldn’t help but look up toward the qi vortex above Chu Ning’s cave mansion.
Even those cultivating within their cave mansions exited to witness the phenomenon upon sensing it.
Outside the Changkong Hall, Shang Song and Shen Yu flew out, standing beside Wu Lingwei and several other Golden Core cultivators.
"It’s been some time since a cultivator Core Formed in the Ice Island Side City.
Eh, something’s not right!"
Shang Song had just figured this out when his eyes flickered.
"This isn’t a cultivator’s Core Formation; it’s a sign of a demon beast advancing to form a Demon Core!"
"Demon Core Formation!"
Hearing Shang Song’s words, the Golden Core cultivators’ expressions changed slightly.
How could there be a demon beast forming a core within this Ice Island Immortal City?
