Chapter 465: Chapter 3: Reunion with an Old Acquaintance
The blood-soaked fiend, exuding a wild aura and bare-chested, walked toward him, his face twisted in a peculiar grin, instantly causing Sima Yu to appear even more flustered.
"Hahaha!" Wu Weixiong laughed even more unrestrainedly.
"Die!" However, just as Wu Weixiong was feeling triumphant, closing in step by step, the seemingly terrified Sima Yu suddenly displayed a hideous expression, and a ray of light shot from his brow.
"The power of a magical treasure!"
The moment the light burst forth, a powerful aura erupted simultaneously.
"How is this possible? Young Master Bai is merely at the Foundation Establishment Stage; how could he possibly wield a magical treasure?"
"This aura... not an ordinary magical treasure, it feels so much like one of the sect’s ultimate treasures, the Nine Yang True Flame Furnace from the Ten Thousand Laws Palace."
"Indeed! This is the Pill King’s pill furnace, also a deadly weapon comparable to a Third Grade magical treasure."
"Then that’s even more unlikely; with just Foundation Establishment cultivation, let alone a Third Grade magical treasure like the Nine Yang True Flame Furnace, even lower Grade magical treasures would be difficult."
...
The surrounding people were once more shocked, especially after sensing that Sima Yu’s aura was comparable to the might of a Third Grade magical treasure, causing them to step back several paces.
Yao Rui and Guo Wanzhi instinctively hid behind Li Ji’an.
Yao Rui’s eyes were full of delight; as long as that effeminate one defeated Wu Weixiong, at least they’d be safe.
However, Guo Wanzhi still frowned, for she was already clear of Sima Yu’s intentions; this time, if he truly won, he might still pose a threat to her.
"Boom!"
In an instant, dazzling light enveloped Wu Weixiong.
Not only was it incredibly fast, giving Wu Weixiong no time to react, it also carried a Divine Soul Secret Technique, causing Wu Weixiong’s divine soul to quake at that moment.
Soon after, the light surrounding Wu Weixiong slowly transformed.
In the blink of an eye, the radiant light changed into a giant fiery furnace blazing with flames.
And Wu Weixiong was trapped within the furnace, engulfed by the flames.
"It’s truly the Nine Yang True Flame Furnace!"
"This is bad; the power of the Third Grade magical treasure’s furnace is extraordinary. It’s said its flames can incinerate late-stage Core Formation Ascendants, as long as they can remain trapped."
"Even though Wu Weixiong is a Tier Three Body Cultivator, facing the fury of the Nine Yang True Flame Furnace now, he probably won’t withstand for a few breaths!"
...
As soon as the furnace formed, the members of the Commerce Association were almost certain this was the Nine Yang True Flame Furnace.
Because the Business Alliance had detailed records of the highest combat powers and magical treasures across the Celestial Cyan Domain.
The appearance of the Nine Yang True Flame Furnace matched perfectly!
"Huh~ no, although the appearance is similar, look, Wu Weixiong seems to be able to withstand a bit longer."
"Yes, if it were truly the full power of the Nine Yang True Flame Furnace, he shouldn’t last beyond three breaths."
"This... could it be a Talisman Treasure!"
Suddenly, Yuan Yishui from the Si Shui Commerce Association exclaimed in shock.
He had suddenly thought of this possibility!
"Talisman Treasure!"
Sealing part of the magical treasure’s power into a spirit talisman, integrating it with talisman materials, creating a treasure comparable to a magical treasure yet resembling a spirit talisman.
The crafting technique is not particularly difficult; Li Ji’an found it in the Tier Three talisman inheritance he received, not necessarily requiring a Talisman Master’s skill.
The key is having a magical treasure, and it has to be of the Upper Three Grades; otherwise, it lacks spirituality, making integration with talisman materials difficult.
Additionally, one must be prepared for the magical treasure’s spirituality to be damaged for a short period, unable to exert its peak power.
However, there are drawbacks; the extent to which the treasure can exert the magical treasure’s power depends on the crafting technique and talisman materials, at most not exceeding fifty percent of the magical treasure’s power, and there are usage limits.
Usually no more than three times, and with each use, its power weakens a little.
The advantage is that, unlike magical treasures, it no longer requires cultivation of a certain level to control.
As long as there is magical power and soul power, it can be activated.
The Talisman Treasure was probably originally devised by the ancients to protect their descendants, disciples, and students.
Li Ji’an’s mind also stirred upon hearing the words "Talisman Treasure," and he hurriedly probed Sima Yu with his divine sense.
And he saw a spirit talisman floating in and out of Sima Yu’s brow.
This wasn’t the first time he’d seen a Talisman Treasure.
In his previous life, when he and Qin Henian faced the Corpse Puppet Sect and the Blood Spirit Saintess, Qin Henian had used this trump card.
However, Qin Henian’s talisman had only one chance left, and after activation, it turned to ashes.
Whereas Sima Yu’s talisman was still preserved.
"What a fine thing!" Li Ji’an covetously eyed it.
In his previous life, as a Fake Pill cultivator, he wanted to try crafting Talisman Treasures.
He had the inheritance.
He’d already comprehended the crafting method.
But he was missing two points.
Firstly, a manageable Upper Three Grade magical treasure!
Back then, his Fake Pill cultivation left his magical power weak; lower-grade magical treasures he could barely control, but upper-grade ones were out of the question!
However, the Cyan Wood Magic Sword he obtained while saving Xiao Changfeng in his past life, along with the Black Water Magic Sword acquired with Wu Weixiong and Qin Henian in the Black Water Swamp ruins, if they were magical treasures, their grade shouldn’t be below Upper Three Grades.
Thus, in this life, he just needed to reach mid-stage True Core cultivation, and he’d likely be able to control a magical treasure.
Secondly, the magical power intensity of the late Core Formation Stage.
This was unavoidable and would require steady advancement.
For Li Ji’an in this life, it should come naturally.
At that time, crafting several Talisman Treasures with late-stage Core Formation cultivation to leave for his future Rejuvenated self would almost guarantee peace until the Core Formation Stage!
"Talisman Treasure! Yes, that’s it!" someone in the Five Blessings Commerce Association suddenly responded.
"If it’s a Talisman Treasure... it must be crafted by Master Chunyuan himself; I wonder how potent it is?"
"Judging by the current situation, Wu Weixiong can still endure, so the potency might be less than thirty percent!"
