Chapter 24

This book was already a fragment, and after the sword technique, only a few pages remained, recording two spells.

One was called Blood Light Shield, and the other was Blood Light Escape.

However, the Blood Light Escape was missing too much, with only a few words, which were far from enough for cultivation.

On the contrary, the Blood Light Shield was recorded in great detail, which was exactly the spell Meng Tian used to resist his talisman attack.

After reading it, Su Shier firmly memorized the content.

He did not meet the basic cultivation conditions for the sword technique and could not cultivate it. However, the Blood Light Shield was very suitable for him.

After tallying up the gains from this time, Su Shier continued to practice diligently.

This time, he did not focus on improving his cultivation level but rather on practicing spells.

Including the spell book he bought from the trading square, he now had four spells to practice.

Blood Light Shield, Rain Summoning Spell, Object Control Spell, and Heavenly Eye Spell.

In fact, among these four spells, except for the Blood Light Shield, the other three were only average in effect when used against enemies.

The Rain Summoning Spell could only produce a light rain, which was generally used by miscellaneous disciples for planting spirit fields.

The Object Control Spell used true essence to drive some objects, with the consumption of true essence varying according to the weight and material of the objects. This spell did not have much destructive power and was mainly used for picking things up.

As for the Heavenly Eye Spell, it could detect the flow of heaven and earth's spiritual energy and had the effect of seeing through invisibility and concealing aura.

The last three spells were clearly functional. Few people would waste time cultivating such spells.

However, Su Shier had different thoughts. Without mentioning others, he felt that the Heavenly Eye Spell could be useful in the trial.

He treated all the spells seriously, not aiming to master them perfectly but practicing them until he was very proficient.

Two months later, there were less than four months left before the new disciple trial.

Feeling that it was difficult to make further progress with the spells, Su Shier took out the two incomplete talisman manuals he had bought and began to study them.

Talismans were a wondrous existence, sealing spells on a small piece of paper, which could be instantly activated with a small amount of true essence, making them very convenient.

For Su Shier, his low cultivation level and insufficient true essence were always a problem. If he had enough talismans, he would have more means to save his life.

However, talismans were consumables. Although he could afford them, he dared not spend them easily.

Two months ago, just for a first-grade supreme defensive talisman, he was not only cheated but also almost got into a life-threatening situation.

This experience made Su Shier more determined to learn how to make talismans and master the skill himself.

There were mainly two methods for making talismans. One used cinnabar and talisman paper as materials, while the other used animal blood and animal skin. However, regardless of which method, a talisman brush was an essential tool.

The talisman brush was an important medium for communication between cultivators and materials. A good talisman brush could greatly increase the success rate of making talismans.

Fortunately, the book provided detailed methods for making talisman brushes, and for making first-grade talismans, only a common talisman brush was needed.

Over the past four years, Su Shier had hunted countless demonic beasts. Now, to practice talismans, animal skin and blood naturally became his practice materials.

In the following days, Su Shier devoted himself entirely to practicing and making talismans.

In four months, Su Shier practiced and broke twenty talisman brushes and damaged countless materials.

From repeated failures at the beginning to occasionally succeeding in making one or two talismans, his success rate was not high, but his diligence allowed him to accumulate a considerable number of various usable talismans.

One morning.

"Clang clang clang..."

Early in the morning, a loud bell rang throughout the sect.

The bell was so loud that it shook the entire Yun Ge Sect, making everyone lively.

Hearing the commotion, Su Shier rolled out of bed and ran to Luo Fu Peak.

At the top of Luo Fu Peak, there was a grand hall in front of a square.

The square was crowded with nearly a hundred people. These were all miscellaneous disciples with cultivation levels below the sixth level of the Qi Condensation stage.

The age range of the people was quite wide, with the youngest being around sixteen or seventeen, and the oldest being some sixty or seventy-year-old miscellaneous disciples with wrinkles and hunched backs.

"This... The sect is really going all out to explore this ancient restricted area?!"

"I didn't expect that Luo Fu Peak, where we rarely see anyone, would have so many miscellaneous disciples!"

Seeing this scene, Su Shier felt reassured.

In just five years, he had cultivated to the fourth level of the Qi Condensation stage with his mixed spiritual roots. He was originally worried that the peak master would notice him, but with so many people, the chance of the peak master noticing him was very low.

Taking a deep breath, he quickly mixed into the crowd, found an inconspicuous spot, and tried to conceal his aura as much as possible while using the Heavenly Eye Spell to observe the others.

In his eyes, many of the older disciples were doing their best to conceal their auras.

Among the younger disciples, only a few were intentionally concealing their auras.

"Senior Brother Shier, I finally found you!" At this moment, a voice came.

Su Shier was startled and quickly turned around.

He saw a medium-sized fat man smiling and walking up to him. It was none other than the now much larger little fatty, Zhu Hanwei.

"Are you looking for me... for something?" Su Shier frowned slightly, his eyes quickly scanning over. At this time, Zhu Hanwei was already a second-level Qi Condensation cultivator, which was a small surprise to him.

It seemed that after taking the Yuan Cultivation Pill, he had awakened his spiritual roots.

Zhu Hanwei smiled and nodded, his eyes darting around, and he quickly looked around before whispering, "So many miscellaneous disciples are also participating in this new disciple trial."

"We've only been here for five years, and in terms of cultivation and strength, we can't compare to them!"

"Although I don't know why, I always feel that this new disciple trial will be quite dangerous. I think we need to join forces so that if anything happens, we can deal with it."

Su Shier remained expressionless but couldn't help but look at the little fatty with more respect. He had obtained relatively complete information about this new disciple trial from Meng Tian.

However, this little fatty, just from the presence of more miscellaneous disciples, deduced that there was danger. This intuition was quite sharp.

As for why he sought him out, it wasn't hard to guess. With Zhu Hanwei's cultivation level, it was almost impossible for him to recruit those miscellaneous disciples who had been there longer.

Among the same batch of new disciples, he, with similar poor spiritual roots, was undoubtedly the best choice.

Seeing Su Shier remain silent, Zhu Hanwei couldn't help but feel anxious. After thinking for a moment, he quickly smiled and said,

"Senior Brother, if you're worried that there are only two of us and we don't have enough people, that's not a problem!"

"This time, I also invited Chen Tie and Li Jingjing."

As he spoke, he waved to someone not far away.

Only then did Su Shier notice that there were three figures standing not far away. Two of them were the other two who had joined the sect with him four years ago.

The three stood together, and they didn't pay much attention to Zhu Hanwei's greeting, their eyes slightly raised, looking quite arrogant.

Their cultivation levels were one at the third level of Qi Condensation and two at the second level, which was not bad for new disciples.
