"If you want to draw talismans, you must first cultivate talisman power. The quality of my Taiyin power is obviously much higher than the talisman power, so the power of the talisman I cast is so great..."

Ever since Xu Feng obtained his first healing talisman, he discovered that the power of his talismans was much greater than that of other Taoist priests who were good at talismans. Now he finally understood what was going on.

It turns out that the fundamental method of other Taoists should be a method similar to the "Thousand Talisman Book". Only after cultivating the power of talismans can they draw various talismans and rely on the power of talismans to fight the enemy. However, the fundamental method he obtained is the "Jade Purity Moonlight Spiritual Chapter" with unique attributes.

"Perhaps, this fundamental method is also a method for cultivating immortals. Even if its grade is slightly lower than that of the 'Wanjie Moshen Gong', it is not much worse!" Xu Feng said secretly in his heart.

After exchanging the talisman technique for the "Thousand Talisman Book", Xu Feng began to practice seriously. As long as he practiced the "Thousand Talisman Book", even if Xu Feng did not know any talismans, he would have enough talisman power to fuse with the calamity power and advance to the second calamity power.

At Qianfu Mountain, the leaders and elders of the talisman lineage and the supreme elder all had excitement on their faces.

"I never expected that the prerequisite for learning the art of talismans is actually the forging technique!" an elder exclaimed.

“Haha, Longhushan, Maoshan, and Gezhaoshan, the three mountain sects have always regarded the art of talismans as a secret treasure, and only heavenly masters can practice it. They regard themselves as the orthodox talismans. Humph!” The head of the talisman lineage snorted coldly and said, “From today on, my Wanfa Sect’s talisman lineage can also regard itself as the orthodox talisman lineage.”

"Forging, it's actually forging. This is really a true statement. From today on, I will go into seclusion and focus on studying forging. I won't come out until I have practiced forging to perfection!"

“Hahaha, I also want to practice the forging technique in seclusion. You can handle other miscellaneous matters on your own. Don’t bother me. When I have perfected the forging technique, I will study the real talisman technique. By then, our Wanfa Sect’s talisman technique will also have its own talisman technique, hahahaha!”

"Yes, yes, yes, let's retreat together. The art of talismans has always been a shortcoming of my talisman lineage. Now I can finally make up for it."

Several elders and two supreme elders had flushed faces as they left the hall and headed towards their respective caves. In the end, only the leader of the talisman lineage was left in the hall.

The smile on the pulse master's face suddenly froze.

"I, I also want to practice forging and magic in seclusion!"

"That's right!" The leader of the lineage glanced at the holy son of the talisman lineage not far away, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes, and he quickly waved and called Qu Jiuxiang over.

"Jiuxiang, your master is going to practice in seclusion. From now on, all matters of the sect, big or small, will be handed over to you. Please don't bother me, okay?" The master said in a deep voice.

"This, Master..." Qu Jiuxiang's mouth twitched. Although he was usually in charge of the clan affairs, many things required the master to make decisions. Now everything was thrown to him. Qu Jiuxiang really didn't know if he could do it well.

"You are also the Holy Son of the Sect. You will become the Master of the Sect in the future. You should learn to train yourself now." The Master of the Sect did not wait for Qu Jiuxiang to finish. He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. I will not be in seclusion for too long. I will be out in ten days or half a month at most. What big things will happen to the Sect in such a short time?"

After saying this, without waiting for Qu Jiuxiang to reply, the leader of the talisman lineage left on his own.

On the other side, Xu Feng began to practice "The Book of Thousand Talismans". This technique has nine levels in total. At the fourth, seventh, and ninth levels, an additional attack special effect will appear immediately. However, Xu Feng practiced "The Book of Thousand Talismans" only to cultivate talisman power and did not care about the special effects.

"It just so happens that the First Saint Son rewarded me with three Enlightenment Stones. I wonder if these three Enlightenment Stones can help me practice the Thousand Talisman Book to perfection."

The Enlightenment Stone can upgrade a skill of a martial art to the level of perfection. However, no matter how low the quality of the "Thousand Talisman Book" is, it is still a fundamental skill. One Enlightenment Stone may not necessarily upgrade it to the level of perfection. However, three stones should be able to upgrade it to the level of perfection.

Xu Feng sat cross-legged, holding a enlightenment stone in each hand, and began to practice the "Thousand Talismans Book".

As the practice began, a hint of clear air continued to emerge from the Enlightenment Stone, flowing along the veins in his hand into Xu Feng's mind. Inspiration burst out in Xu Feng's mind, and his soul became completely empty. The "Thousand Talismans Book" which was originally a little obscure and difficult to understand, turned out to be no secret at all in Xu Feng's eyes, and the practice seemed to be a natural process.

At the same time, the twelve methods of drawing talismans that he had mastered before also emerged in Xu Feng's mind one by one, corresponding to the contents of "The Thousand Talisman Book", which made the practice of "The Thousand Talisman Book" progress by leaps and bounds at an extremely fast speed.

"The function of this Enlightenment Stone is so magical. No wonder those secret realm apostles who joined the big sects in the previous life could easily practice their skills and spells to perfection. They must have used treasures like the Enlightenment Stone!" Xu Feng said in his heart.

In his previous life, Xu Feng was a casual cultivator. He stumbled along the way and finally got some opportunities in the secret realm and acquired some magical skills. However, if he wanted to cultivate to the perfect level, he could only rely on time and energy, and use perseverance to improve it to the maximum level bit by bit.

It is normal to take three to five years to upgrade a magic skill to the maximum level. Now I finally understand how much time I wasted in my previous life.

Without the blessing of the Enlightenment Stone, Xu Feng's speed in practicing the "Thousand Talismans Book" suddenly slowed down, as if he had been riding on a high-speed train before but now was back on a ox cart. He was very uncomfortable.

I took a look at the level of "Book of Thousand Talismans", and it has been upgraded to about 45% of level seven. When it reached level four, I comprehended the "strong attack" characteristic, and when it reached level seven, I comprehended the "dexterity" characteristic.

The characteristic "strong attack" can increase the power of attacking talismans, and the characteristic "dexterity" can increase the success rate of drawing talismans. These two are very common characteristics.

"It seems that using the Enlightenment Stone is not without its consequences!" Xu Feng said with a sense of realization: "The correct approach should be to use the Enlightenment Stone to raise the skill level to level three, and then practice on your own to break through to level four. This way, the chance of obtaining powerful characteristics should be higher."

"The effect of the Enlightenment Stone should be to save the accumulation process, just like pouring water into a bottle. Normally, you would drip water into the bottle drop by drop, but using the Enlightenment Stone is like scooping water into the bottle with a ladle, which speeds up the accumulation process. However, to break through the bottleneck, you still don't need to rely on the power of the Enlightenment Stone. You must rely on your own efforts to gain more powerful strength."

"But I just want to gain talisman power quickly, so the characteristics are generally powerful, which is not important to me." Xu Feng showed a smile on his face, then took out the third enlightenment stone and continued to practice "Thousand Talisman Book".

One month, two months, three months...

Xu Feng used three enlightenment stones and spent three months to finally practice the "Thousand Talismans Book" to the ninth level of perfection. A new power appeared in his dantian. This power was not strong, but not weak either. It could only exist in the gap between the three forces of calamity, sun power, and moon power.

Because the calamity power has already merged with the twelve talismans and the drawn talismans, the talisman power contained in the talisman technique itself carries a trace of talisman power aura. Therefore, the newly cultivated talisman power also has a faint feeling of being close to the calamity power and has been surrounding the calamity power.

"This Enlightenment Stone is really useful. If I want to increase the level of my calamity power and integrate new power in the future, I must learn techniques with other attributes. At that time, I will definitely need a lot of Enlightenment Stones..." Xu Feng said to himself.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"The Book of Thousand Talismans" is a fundamental method, with a total of nine levels, which is equivalent to the maximum level of nine. As a result, Xu Feng only spent three months to cultivate "The Book of Thousand Talismans" to the perfect state. In his previous life, this was something that completely subverted Xu Feng's cognition.

"That's perfect. I can just go ahead and merge the talisman power into the calamity power and advance to the second calamity power!"

Soon, under Xu Feng's command, the "Wanjie Moshen Gong" began to operate slowly. In the dantian, the calamity power that had already been integrated with a trace of talisman power began to slowly devour the talisman power that was closely packed together.

The entire fusion process went very smoothly. Unlike the fusion of Holy Sun Power, the talisman power was warm and soft, and easily merged with the calamity power.

It only took Xu Feng three days to integrate the talisman power into the calamity power.

Boom! A large mass of calamity clouds appeared again in the sky above the Holy Son's Cave in the Modao Mountains. As the calamity power in Xu Feng's body was upgraded to the second calamity power, the calamity clouds above the cave doubled in size.

Before Xu Feng cultivated the power of calamity, the calamity clouds above the cave were about one acre in size, and now they have directly expanded to two acres.

For a moment, all the disciples of the Modao lineage were attracted by the calamity clouds above the Holy Son’s cave.

"What's going on?"

"Has there been another strange phenomenon in the world? Could it be that the Holy Son has made another breakthrough in his cultivation?"

"After three months of seclusion, it's normal for him to have a breakthrough, but this time the commotion is much greater than the last time."

Ever since Xu Feng won the title of the First Saint Son in the Saint Son Competition, the attitude of the disciples of the Mo Dao lineage towards him has suddenly changed a lot. They even began to be secretly proud of him. Seeing Xu Feng's breakthrough in cultivation again, many people showed joy on their faces.

The eldest senior brother Guo Ji, who was handling affairs in the main hall of the Modao lineage, was also attracted by the noise. When he saw the calamity clouds above Xu Feng's cave, a look of shock appeared on Guo Ji's face.

“Tribulation Cloud? Junior brother, has he advanced to the second level of Tribulation Power? He has cultivated the Thousand Talismans Book to perfection so quickly. If the disciples of the talisman lineage knew about this, they would probably be so surprised that they would be speechless.” Guo Ji seemed to have thought of something and couldn’t help but chuckle.
