Chapter 248 Bestowing the Title Botong
Cultivation knows no time.
After Jia Xitong entered meditation, all the senior disciples rushed to protect her. They sat outside the gold-wrapped talisman, looking somewhat heartbroken as they protected her.
After all, they were still just mortals, not yet capable of going without food, water, or excretion. The group persevered for five days, their faces gaunt and haggard, until finally the eldest brother stepped in and arranged for them to work in three shifts.
##
It was countless times more difficult for Jia Xitong to cultivate from a Talisman Spirit to a Talisman Master than to break through from a Talisman Master to a Martial Spirit.
The spiritual energy circulated throughout her body for eighty-one small cycles and forty-seven large cycles. Accumulated strength finally yielded a powerful surge of spiritual energy upon her advancement, doubling the amount of energy in front of the main hall of Xianlong Peak!
Senior Brother: "Junior Brother's pill is about to be completed?"
Nineteenth Junior Brother: "Is Xitong about to advance?"
They spoke at the same time and looked at each other.
"Why worry about all that? This is a rare opportunity to release spiritual energy and a perfect time for cultivation."
As the strongest man among the twenty, the eleventh man shouted, "Stop watching me! Start cultivating!"
The shout snapped them out of their daze, and they immediately sat down, adopting a posture with their palms facing upwards.
Seeing this, the eleventh brother leaped into the air, his figure darting through the jungle like a ghost. A large portion of his fellow disciples hadn't arrived yet; this opportunity for cultivation couldn't be missed.
Before long, the area outside the main hall was filled with people.
Twenty fellow disciples, Niu Niu, and even four magical beasts were brought along.
If we compare spiritual energy to nutrients...
External spiritual energy is like indigestible food; it needs to be chewed, swallowed, and then absorbed by the stomach and body, with a large portion of the undigested energy being excreted. However, releasing spiritual energy during advancement is like releasing amino acids; it doesn't require any of the above processes and is directly digested—it only takes in and doesn't leave.
This outward manifestation of spiritual energy is also known as spiritual release.
Normally, this would only happen occasionally when breaking through to the Martial King level or even higher, but Jia Xitong made this move as soon as he broke through to the Martial Grandmaster level.
Everyone immediately sat down to meditate and circulate their energy, their cultivation speed at this moment being dozens of times that of usual.
On the other side
Jia Xitong was also absorbing spiritual energy, with herself at the center.
However, what she absorbed came from heaven and earth.
Furthermore, she advanced through the enlightenment of the Taixu Eight Extremes Furnace and the Six Rabbit True Fire, and apart from the world, there is also a subtle connection between her and this furnace and true fire.
Peak of the Spirit Master and the Spirit Sect
One step away
Jia Xitong's breakthrough came naturally.
The dragon horns and scales on her head began to glow, the horns grew slightly longer by an inch, and her whole body was enveloped in golden light.
Within Jia Xitong's own sea of consciousness, the golden light of the "Book of Records" shone even brighter.
The scroll began to flip rapidly, revealing new content on the latest page—"Scroll: Advanced Cultivation Techniques".
The technique has been upgraded!
Before Jia Xitong could even look, the wooden statue suddenly emitted a golden light. The previously broken parts were completely restored, and the entire statue looked brand new.
The phantom of the God of Runes reappeared before me.
"Small bucket".
The God of Talismans has spoken!
Jia Xitong was stunned for a moment, unsure whether to be shocked that the God of Talismans could speak, or shocked by the way the God of Talismans addressed her.
"Lord Fu Shen, my name is Jia Xitong. Jia is Xibei; Xi is the one that represents light; and Tong is the one that represents bamboo."
This was the first time she had introduced herself so seriously, mainly because she hoped that the talisman gods would recognize her when they blessed people in the future.
"Um."
That was such a perfunctory answer. Did he even understand?
Jia Xitong looked up at him. Although the talisman god was only an outline, she had the feeling that he was looking at her.
“Your spirit is exceptionally intelligent, with all six senses attuned. You are also a natural-born cultivator of talismans, possessing a wise and resolute heart. From this day forward, I will be your teacher and bestow upon you the title of Master Tong.”
"Lord of the Talisman God, you want to take me as your disciple?!"
Jia Xitong was stunned.
This is so sudden!
"From this day forward, you shall take it upon yourself to revitalize the art of talismans and the great path of talismans."
As soon as he finished speaking, the light and shadow of the God of Talismans vanished instantly.
Immediately afterward, a radiant glow spread across the sky. The entire glow enveloped Xianlong Peak, carrying immense spiritual power. A faint divine decree descended from the heavens, landing directly on the raccoon enveloped in golden light. Simultaneously, somewhere on the Aotian Continent, the long-silent ancient bells rang out…
##
Jia Xitong opened her eyes and saw an embroidered scroll in front of her.
The embroidered scroll is shaped like an imperial edict, and it is inscribed with "Bo Tong's Edict".
Botong?
Was this Dharma name bestowed upon you by the Dharma God just now?
She's a girl, at least give her a nice-sounding Buddhist name! She just now swore she heard it clearly!
Looking at the two characters above, Jia Xitong couldn't help but look up at the sky, muttering to herself, "Lord Fu Shen, look at the terrible name you chose. It's going to be hard for anyone to do anything for you."
As soon as he finished speaking
A clap of thunder sounded from the sky, and a bolt of lightning struck at her feet, scorching two tufts of hair.
"A thin barrel?!"
The senior brothers standing outside the Golden Entangling Talisman were startled; they had never seen anyone break through to the next level and then be struck by lightning.
"fine."
Jia Xitong gestured for her fellow disciples to come closer; she didn't want to have to rescue them from the golden talisman later.
Immediately afterwards, she knelt down on the ground with a thud, looked at the dark clouds gathering overhead and said, "Master, please don't be angry. I was just joking. I will definitely spread my talisman magic far and wide in the future."
After he finished speaking, the dark clouds dispersed.
Unexpectedly, the God of Talismans is so biased and cannot tolerate any dissent.
She looked at the embroidered scroll in front of her, seemingly lacking any motivation to promote or spread the talismans.
Despite lacking motivation, she still unrolled the embroidery scroll.
The embroidered scroll is extremely long
The ends and top and bottom are embroidered with auspicious patterns related to talismans.
The middle part is actually a numerical measurement.
Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands... these numbers continue all the way up to millions, or tens of billions.
What do the numbers represent?
The number of believers?
Guessing this possibility, Jia Xitong couldn't help but look at the last three words, "millions," and thought, "Master Fu's ideals are a bit too lofty." She felt that in a time when everyone worshipped the God of War, it would be quite good if Master Fu had a hundred or so loyal followers.
Put away the embroidery scroll
Jia Xitong spread her wings and flew towards her senior brothers.
The senior students all looked radiant and full of energy.
"Senior brothers, what have you been up to lately? You look like you're in high spirits after some good news."
Of course it feels great.
The senior brothers' spiritual power had increased significantly to varying degrees. Looking at the raccoon with dragon horns sticking out of its head, the eldest senior brother couldn't help but touch it, saying, "I still owe it to you."
Nineteen of the twenty senior brothers had gathered around, eager to see what had happened to Jia Xitong.
Only the nineteenth prince remained seated, and it was the eleventh prince who noticed him.
"Junior Brother Nineteen has entered meditation!"
"What?"
The person everyone was surrounding had changed.
From Qing Shuang Peak to Xian Long Peak, the nineteenth brother had always been the one who struggled the most with his studies among his senior brothers. Last time, when everyone went into seclusion, they all broke through to the Martial Spirit realm, but he was stuck at the peak of the Martial Master realm, unable to break through for a long time.
Now that he has entered a meditative state, it is highly likely that he will reach the Martial Spirit Realm in one fell swoop at this moment.
