Chapter 9 (2/2)

“It must be there, it must be there.” Chu Yunsheng was trying very hard. He found a few things that he thought could be related to Yuan Qi cultivation, but he failed every time. There was one incantation called ‘Absorption talisman’. Chu Yunsheng was not sure about the use of this talisman. He knew the meaning of those three symbols individually, but he could only read one-third of its description.

Luckily he could read the symbols that explained how to make this talisman.

This talisman was a level-two talisman. He had to use all his Yuan Qi to make it. He already used half of his Yuan Qi while testing other talismans. So even if he wanted to make it now, he would still need to wait for another 4 days until he fully restored his Yuan Qi.

During those four days, when he felt tired, he would take out his crossbow, and practice his shooting skill. Yuan Qi was very important to him now, he could not afford to miss his target, and he needed to improve his accuracy as well.

After four days of practice, and with the help of ‘Liu Jia energy s.h.i.+eld talisman’, Chu Yunsheng was confident that he could hit a target within 30 meters, provided that the target was not moving. After all, the ability to shoot moving objects could not be trained overnight, it was more important to have some experiences.

Four days later, he finally completed an ‘absorption talisman’, but when he tried to use it. He encountered a problem.

No matter how he tried to activate it, it would not absorb Yuan Qi. After struggling for a long time, he suddenly had an idea. Since the talisman couldn’t absorb Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, what if he let it absorb the Yuan Qi that was already purified in his body? When he was just about to give it a try, he was frustrated to find out that the Yuan Qi inside his body was exhausted, and he could not test his hypothesis.

Then he immediately thought of the Red-sh.e.l.led insect he killed. That monster had a light red-colored energy s.h.i.+eld. It was definitely powered by some kind of energy. So If he was not wrong, that Red-sh.e.l.led insect definitely had Yuan Qi inside its body as well.

Chu Yunsheng quickly took out the monster’s body that he stored in the storage talisman, and started to activate the absorption talisman.

As he expected, the talisman shot out a white beam at the monster’s body. Then, he saw a streak of milky-like smoke flew out of the Red-sh.e.l.led insect’s body and flew toward the absorption talisman.

The process took him just ten seconds, and the white beam returned to the absorption talisman after it completed the absorption. Chu Yunsheng took a close look at the talisman. There was a flame pattern on the surface of the talisman that covered one sixth of its surface.

Chu Yunsheng guessed that the flame pattern represented the fire elemental Yuan Qi from the Red-sh.e.l.led insect. But when he was just about to store the absorption talisman, he was surprised to discover that as soon as he sensed the talisman, the talisman began to pa.s.s Yuan Qi directly into his body. Of course, he could stop it, but he did not. He wanted to see what would happen.

The whole process was twice as slow as when it absorbed the Yuan Qi from the red-sh.e.l.led insect. It was almost twenty seconds! After that, the flame pattern disappeared from the talisman, and the talisman shattered to pieces.

A level-two talisman was also a disposable talisman. But he was not upset when the talisman was destroyed. Instead, he was excited and almost screamed out loud.

He could clearly feel that he has restored one-third of his Yuan Qi. Usually, he would need three days to restore this amount of Yuan Qi.

How could he not be excited right now? Some Yuan Qi from the Red-sh.e.l.led insect might be lost during transfer, but even then, the talisman still restored one third of his Yuan Qi. That meant that if he had three monster bodies, he could fully restore his Yuan Qi, without needing to spend eight or nine days in meditation cultivation practice.

Immediately, he came up with a new plan. He needed to make one absorption talisman first, then spend eight days restoring his Yuan Qi. At the moment, he could shoot six frost arrows when his Yuan Qi was fully restored. That meant that if he did not miss a target, he would be able to freeze six monsters. While a monster was frozen, it could not activate its s.h.i.+eld, so he could find other ways to kill it. Then, he could use absorption talismans to absorb Yuan Qi from all six monsters.

The absorption talisman Chu Yunsheng tested was a disposable talisman. It was destroyed because it unleashed all the Yuan Qi that were stored inside. Just like the other types of disposable talismans, once they were used, no matter how much Yuan Qi was withdrawn, it couldn’t be replenished again.

So he must make the best use of his absorption talisman. He had to use absorption talismans to absorb the Yuan Qi fully and then use it twice. Each time, it would restore his Yuan Qi fully.

Theoretically, if he continued with this plan, he would need to kill two hundred and forty-three red-sh.e.l.led insects before he could reach Yuan Tian stage two. After that, he would be able to make level-three talismans, and he would not be needing those calculations anymore.
