64: Talisman

Talisman Treasure is an item that falls between Talismans and Magical Treasures.

It compensates for the shortcomings of Talismans having insufficient power and Magical Treasures consuming excessive spiritual energy, essentially sealing part of a Magical Treasure's power within a Talisman.

It only requires releasing a small amount of spiritual energy to unleash the power of a Magical Treasure.

Of course, this power might only be one or two tenths.

But even one or two tenths is already very terrifying.

Because only Golden Core powerhouses have the ability to drive Magical Treasures.

This one or two tenths of power is completely sufficient to deal with Qi Refining Realm Cultivators.

However, it seems the Magical Treasure used by the opponent was relatively Low Grade, and the opponent's own Realm was not high, so the power unleashed was not as terrifying as imagined.

Otherwise, that green long sword would likely have shattered on the spot, and even Fourth Elder himself would have been in Life-threatening danger.

After releasing the Talisman Treasure, Lu Haotian's face turned pale, as if his strength was instantly drained.

"Are you scared?" He stared at Lin Tianfang, a smile on his lips.

"Scared? How many times can your Talisman Treasure be activated?" Lin Tianfang calmed his mind, put away the long sword, and stood with his hands behind his back.

Because the Talisman Treasure is made by infusing part of a Magical Treasure's power into a spiritual Talisman, the number of uses is limited.

Unless the opponent controls the original Magical Treasure and can replenish its power at any time.

Of course, this is impossible.

So the opponent definitely doesn't dare to use it without restraint.

Lu Haotian's face slightly darkened, he didn't say much, just put away that Talisman Treasure.

"Don't worry, this Spirit Mine will change hands very soon." He coldly stared at the other party, dropped a sentence, then turned directly and left with the Zhou Family disciples.

Lin Tianfang did not order a pursuit.

Because no one knew if the opponent had set up an ambush.

What puzzled him even more was why the opponent would take out a major kill weapon like a Talisman Treasure at this critical juncture?

Logically, such a thing should be used as a trump card, and only be taken out when the Zhou Family is facing Life or death.

The Lu Family shouldn't be so extravagant as to use this Talisman Treasure, which is used once and gone, to test his strength.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianfang's brows furrowed tightly.

It seems this matter still needs to be reported to the Zhou Family.

On the other side, Zhou Luo stared blankly as the battle in mid-air ended, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.

That terrifying might, even through the Array Formation, he could clearly feel it.

If he were in the midst of it, he would probably perish instantly.

All his Life-saving methods would be meaningless.

At this moment, Zhou Luo suddenly realized that although he was already a Second-Order Poison Master, a First-Order Alchemist, and a Spiritual Talisman Master, and even had a pet beast with Fourth-Order potential, a Body Refining Technique, and so on.

But the help these brought him was long-term.

If he suddenly encountered a situation like the one just now, his methods would be completely useless and he would be instantly killed.

Ultimately, his Realm is still not high enough.

Zhou Luo withdrew his gaze and silently walked towards the Spirit Mine stone gate.

The Lu Family's invasion was just a small interlude, during this period, it happened basically once every half a month, and everyone was used to it.

Anyway, with Great Elder's Array Formation in place, it would cost the opponent a great price to break through.

Back in the room, Lin Shi was still unconscious.

Zhou Luo took out the antidote he had already prepared and put it into his mouth.

After a while, Lin Shi suddenly bounced up from the bed with a whoosh, a look of confusion on his face.

"Brother Shi, you're awake." Zhou Luo looked pleasantly surprised and brought him a glass of water.

"What happened to me?" Lin Shi asked hurriedly.

Zhou Luo then pretended to be awkward and said apologetically, "Sorry, Brother Shi, I forgot to remind you..."

He then pushed everything onto Bai.

Lin Shi was greatly surprised to learn that after Bai scratched someone, they would fall into a coma for so long.

However, he did not blame Zhou Luo, but instead said enviously, "Brother Zhou being able to possess such a special pet beast is simply a great blessing."

Zhou Luo smiled and shook his head, "It's all luck, luck."

"Oh no."

At this moment, Lin Shi suddenly slapped his head and hurriedly got off the bed, "I've slept for so long, I'm definitely going to get scolded."

"No, everyone is probably busy sorting out the battle results." Zhou Luo took the opportunity to tell him what had just happened.

Hearing that the Lu Family had invaded again, Lin Shi looked panicked.

If the Zhou Family found out he was slacking off, he would probably be punished.

However, Zhou Luo also said that he had already helped him make excuses using other reasons.

"Brother Zhou, I owe you a lot this Time." Lin Shi said with great sincerity.

According to the rules of the Spirit Mine, deserting in battle is a serious crime, and if Zhou Luo hadn't covered for him, he would have been finished.

"This was originally my fault, so don't let it show when you go out later." Zhou Luo reminded him.

"Don't worry, Brother Zhou." Lin Shi readily agreed.

Just as he reached the door, Zhou Luo called out to him again, "Oh right, the Pills are already refined."

After speaking, he took out a bag, which contained jade bottles.

"Brother Zhou's efficiency is indeed high." Lin Shi took the bag and walked out of the room.

Watching the other party leave, Zhou Luo put away his smile and closed the door.

The previous battle had stirred his heart, and since he had Time, he wanted to refine a few First-Order Low Grade spiritual Talismans to play with.

Perhaps they could sometimes produce unexpected effects.

...

Lin Shi, who had slept for several hours, returned to the pavilion with the bag.

"Where did you go just now, kid?" As soon as he arrived in the hall, someone indeed spoke up and asked.

This person was the captain specifically responsible for Lin Shi's small team; it was his duty to question a team member who was absent during an enemy invasion.

Lin Shi recalled Zhou Luo's words and repeated them verbatim.

Initially, the other party didn't believe it, but couldn't argue with the witness testimony, so he didn't pursue the matter further.

Lin Shi breathed a sigh of relief and placed the bag on the counter, "Uncle Hui, the Pills are refined."

"So fast?" Lin Hui looked surprised.

He opened the bag and began counting, finding that the quantities were all correct.

"Strange, did this kid also take out the Pills he had on him?" Lin Hui muttered to himself.

He knew very well that a First-Order middle-grade Alchemist couldn't refine so many Pills in such a short Time.

Unless a portion of them were ones he already possessed.

That way it made sense.

The more Lin Hui thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

"Uncle Hui." Lin Shi suddenly called out to him.

Lin Hui put away the bag, "Is there anything else?"

"Did Fourth Elder really say that Zhou Luo's quota for Pill Refining would double?" Lin Shi asked cautiously.

To be honest, he thought it was impossible to refine two hundred Pills in two days, so he wondered if he had misheard, and to be safe, he wanted to ask again.

"Let him take a break from those Pills first."

Unexpectedly, Lin Hui directly denied it.

He took out a new bamboo slip and handed it over, "Have him refine these Pills before the night after tomorrow."

Taking the bamboo slip, Lin Shi glanced at it and found that they were all healing Pills.

It seemed the Zhou Family had suffered considerable losses in this conflict with the Lu Family and urgently needed Pills to heal injuries.

"Alright." Lin Shi showed a heartfelt smile.

Ultimately, he certainly didn't hope that the Zhou Family would actually arrange for Zhou Luo to refine two hundred Pills in two days.

Because now he already considered the other party a friend.

Logically speaking, as a Main Family disciple, he should be hostile towards Zhou Luo.

But Lin Shi's status in the Main Family was not that high, he didn't know much, and he himself was easygoing and rarely cared about these things.

So he had no prejudice against Zhou Luo, instead, he felt he was a good friend.
