113: Sacrifice successful, treasure from the underworld

A storm was brewing.

Xiao Qingyuan sensed that something was amiss from the visit of the various Immortal Clans from Yang Valley last time.

Without strength, how could his Xiao Clan Immortal Family not end up like those people, knowing who the murderer was?

They could only allow outside Cultivators to slaughter and manipulate them at will.

They even had to help their enemies, with whom they had a blood feud.

That incredibly heartbreaking kneel in mid-air yesterday, perhaps, would become Xiao Qingyuan's fate as well.

Become stronger!

He must become stronger!

At the foot of Spoon Mountain, Xiao Qingyuan looked at the muscular gourd vine in front of him, constantly absorbing the Spiritual Qi below, and he couldn't help but murmur with a bitter smile.

“There is a massive amount of Spiritual Qi below, yet the Spiritual Qi here is incredibly thin. You are truly formidable!”

“Alas…”

Xiao Qingyuan shook his head.

During this period, he had been Cultivating with Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, coupled with his Heavenly Spiritual Root.

He could clearly feel that his Cultivation speed was quite good.

But to Breakthrough, it would still take years.

Two years, or three years?

Compared to others who might seclude themselves for over a decade, or even several decades, without necessarily achieving a Breakthrough, his speed was already incredibly rapid.

But it still couldn't offer significant help to his current situation.

Time waits for no one!

He also had to find some unconventional methods!

“To increase my strength and protect myself, the best options are Formations and Talismans.

But Talismans are hindered by the lack of second-tier Materials.

And learning Formations is not something that can be done overnight.”

Xiao Qingyuan thought silently, the fastest ways to improve combat power constantly flashing through his mind.

He did think of the original profound talisman, which had only half of its Legacy.

Although this Legacy lacked the two major methods of Talisman Dao and Talisman Control, only the core part remained complete.

But its original Divine Ability was sharp enough.

Upon reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, it was indeed possible to sacrifice another powerful Talisman and transform it into a Divine Ability for self-protection.

The effect of the Five Elements Escape Talisman was already sharp enough.

The effect of a second-tier Talisman would surely be even more extraordinary.

However, this involved a fatal problem.

That was the uncertainty of the sacrificed item.

Theoretically, a single draw could indeed create a miracle, and his Luck always seemed Heaven-Defying enough.

But this didn't mean it could be so Heaven-Defying every time.

Especially after he had just finished condensing the Seed of Luck and fed it to the Gourd!

Although the Luck of the condensed Seed of Luck was still his own.

Theoretically, his current Luck was no different from before.

But what if?

He dared not gamble.

If, because of this, he sacrificed an unsuitable Talisman, he would absolutely not be willing to turn it into his original Divine Ability.

The most suitable for him would still be a quasi-third-tier Spiritual Talisman related to the Five Elements, even something like a Five Lightning Talisman would work. The previous Five Elements Grand Escape was able to continuously advance by gaining benefits.

Step by step like this, the original Talisman would have the potential to grow to its theoretical strongest limit.

Ultimately, it might even allow him to obtain the legendary Five-Colored Divine Light.

Xiao Qingyuan was still very much looking forward to this.

“Cultivation, Talismans, Medicinal Pills, Magic Treasures…”

“Since Cultivation and Talismans are temporarily out of the question, there are only two options left.”

“The Blood Rain Technique left by Big Brother has already been taught to Grandfather and Father, but from cultivating Medicinal Materials to training Alchemists, this time cycle is still too long.

Even if the Blood Rain Technique can greatly shorten the time for cultivating Medicinal Materials, it’s not enough!”

“Although the return on resources is high, I cannot afford the time cycle.”

“As things stand, it seems I can only try to find a solution from Cultivation Techniques or treasures first!”

“As long as I can kill a few Foundation Establishment Stage Demon Beasts, I can rely on the help of the reincarnation seal to activate the Spiritual Eye, and thus begin happily drawing Talismans again!

At that time, even Father and the others will be able to threaten Foundation Establishment Cultivators with a large number of Talismans!

Not only will the Xiao Clan Immortal Family’s problems be solved easily.

I will also be able to develop peacefully for a period of time!

As long as I can stall for seven or eight years, until the Cultivation of children like Xuan Shu begins to feed back.

Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Transformation… those will all be matters within reach.

Moreover, once the environment stabilizes, I can marry again and have more children.

Unlike now, where even arranged marriages are a problem.

I also don't have the mind to look for Mortals with spirit bones.”

Thinking of this, Xiao Qingyuan slammed his palm and said:

“It's decided. First, I'll kill a few Foundation Establishment Stage Demon Beasts.”

“As the saying goes, all fear comes from insufficient firepower. I want to see what kind of conspiracies and tricks those people can still come up with when my Xiao Clan Immortal Family has a continuous supply of second-tier Talismans!”

At this thought, Xiao Qingyuan’s heart immediately firmed up.

【Explosive Spells, or Magic Treasures with extremely high lethality, even if they have flaws, it doesn't matter, as long as they don't harm my Foundation, just bring them on!】

With a thought in his mind.

The reincarnation seal immediately began to tremble madly. Perhaps it was because it had stolen too many things.

Xiao Qingyuan even felt that this reincarnation seal seemed even more excited than himself.

Shaking his head, Xiao Qingyuan cast the thought out of his mind.

This guy was the sole descendant of the Blue Star’s underworld.

Although down and out, how could it be so worthless?

An illusion!

It must be his illusion.

However, perhaps Xiao Qingyuan’s idea this time was too presumptuous.

Xiao Qingyuan clearly felt that at that moment, the reincarnation seal seemed to be stimulated by something.

The hook, which was originally swinging upwards, suddenly turned sharply.

It rapidly moved downwards in Xiao Qingyuan’s astonished gaze.

Immediately after, it quickly straightened.

Xiao Qingyuan’s mouth twitched wildly.

He clearly felt that the reincarnation seal seemed to have temporarily changed its target.

A bad premonition grew stronger and stronger in his heart.

“Holy crap, stop messing around!”

Xiao Qingyuan’s heart jumped.

But it was too late.

Holding the familiar object that suddenly appeared in his hand, Xiao Qingyuan wanted to cry but had no tears.

His heart sank.

He suddenly understood.

Whenever the hook went up, this guy probably fished out things full of Immortal Qi.

Like the original profound talisman, or quasi-second-tier Talismans.

Don't let the Myriad Paths Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Art seem unconventional; it was also a proper profound Cultivation Technique.

The Magic Power Cultivated from it was purer than any other Cultivation Technique.

Even the Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Demon, with its strong apocalyptic style, had a relatively righteous starting point.

But if the threads of Reincarnation were below the horizon.

Especially this rare vertical downward motion.

No need to think.

It was definitely an underworld treasure.

Xiao Qingyuan tremblingly held a six-colored banner, emitting black Qi all over, in his hand.

“I really didn’t want something like this…!”
