It seemed that because he had received a promise from Ding Huan, Qi Xinyue’s cultivation almost caught up with Lao Liu.
However, Ding Huan brought out a pile of jade scrolls.
The first jade scroll surprised him, "True Yuan Cycle Taboos."
Divine Will scanned inside, and it was all about the process of cultivating techniques.
It outlined what must be avoided and what could be thought about differently.
Ding Huan only looked at a small portion and gained a lot.
The taboos were not actually one hundred; the details mentioned far exceeded a thousand.
Ding Huan himself had strong theoretical knowledge of cultivation; he could infer many things from the scroll, and the benefits were far more than just this simple jade scroll.
Having reached the perfect Ninth-level Genetic Cultivator, Ding Huan didn’t have a Genetic Foundation Establishment Technique and didn’t know how to break through to Foundation Establishment.
Subconsciously, Ding Huan thought of creating his own Foundation Establishment Technique, and this jade scroll was simply laying the foundation for him to create that technique.
Once he took the jade scroll in hand, Ding Huan couldn’t put it down.
He studied this jade scroll for half a month before putting it down and picking up the second one.
"Extreme Shadow Jutsu?"
Ding Huan’s Divine Will landed on the jade scroll, and the more he read, the more excited he became.
What a great thing—a body technique.
The only body technique he knew was the Wind Control Skill, but honestly, as his cultivation progress, even he felt that the Wind Control Skill had become somewhat lackluster.
Just reading the beginning, Ding Huan carefully stored away this jade scroll.
This place was not suitable for practicing body techniques.
It looked like what he gained from the Star House was not just the house itself but the jade scrolls and bamboo scrolls inside it.
Ding Huan eagerly scanned his Divine Will into the third jade scroll he held in his hand.
The first two scrolls were urgently needed, so what was this third one?
"Taoist Talisman. Upper."
Ding Huan’s hands trembled with excitement.
Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.
The "Dao Talisman. Lower" was a bamboo scroll, which made Ding Huan naturally assume that "Taoist Talisman. Upper" would be one too.
Unexpectedly, this "Taoist Talisman. Upper" was a jade scroll.
If he had known it was a jade scroll, how could he have restrained himself and only looked at it today?
Soon, Ding Huan was glad he hadn’t known earlier.
If he had known that "Taoist Talisman. Upper" was in his possession, he definitely wouldn’t have spent a year refining his Divine Will.
He would certainly have started creating talismans.
Now that the jade scroll was in his hands, how could Ding Huan have the mind to look at other jade scrolls?
At this moment, he was completely immersed in the ocean of knowledge of "Taoist Talisman. Upper."
It must be said that the upper scroll was more detailed than the lower scroll, starting from the materials.
For talismanic arts, the materials were too extensive.
Demon beast materials, Heaven and Earth Treasures, all kinds of Spirit Plants...
Even ore could be used as material for talisman refining.
As for the introduction of runes, it was detailed and extensive, starting from basic runes, to Five Elements Runes and various Elemental Runes...
Ding Huan noted that the runes mentioned included Space Rune, Time Rune, and even Attribute Rune.
However, these runes were not detailed, and the scroll only mentioned that they required further research by great experts.
But the explanations for basic runes and some basic Five Elements Runes were very detailed.
Clearly, the senior who wrote this jade scroll was not skilled or had no knowledge of Space Runes, Time Runes, or Attribute Runes.
Ding Huan didn’t mind that; space and time were even beyond his understanding.
For him, being able to draw the first talisman was the critical thing.
Only by learning the runes could he begin to create the first talisman.
The most basic talismans were drawn using a talisman pen, while intermediate talismans were drawn using spells, and higher-level talismans were not mentioned in "Taoist Talisman. Upper."
If previously Ding Huan might have been unclear, after acquiring the Star House, he felt the highest-grade talismans should be drawn with rules.
Whether it was true or not, the task Ding Huan was facing now was to make a talisman pen and then start drawing the first rune.
Fortunately, Dou Qingzhi had helped him collect a pile of Fierce Beast fur and hair, and Ding Huan’s first thought was the hair from the giant ape.
It was a Level 9 Fierce Beast, perfect for making a talisman pen.
In fact, he also had Large Eagle Owl feathers, but Ding Huan felt he didn’t need those yet, being a beginner.
The talisman pen could only use bone from the Large Eagle Owl then; otherwise, he really had no suitable material for making a talisman pen.
His first time making a talisman pen.
Ding Huan had planned to refine the talisman pen following the method described in the jade scroll.
As he started refining, various Artifact Refining techniques flashed through his mind.
Unconsciously, Ding Huan incorporated these Artifact Refining techniques into making the talisman pen.
Unsurprisingly, the first talisman pen failed because Ding Huan had added various techniques.
On his second attempt, Ding Huan no longer aimed too high; he just refined using the method described in the jade scroll about talisman pen making.
This time, within just an hour, he successfully made the first talisman pen.
According to the jade scroll, the lowest grade talisman pen was a Low-Grade Magic Artifact.
Ding Huan knew his talisman pen wasn’t up to that level; as a complete novice, he naturally didn’t mind.
Furthermore, if he had a magic artifact, he would have been able to fly with it long ago.
The materials for making talismans are plentiful for Ding Huan, with piles of Fierce Beast Skin stacked in the Star House space.
It had been a year since the beast blood was collected; he wondered if it had deteriorated.
When Ding Huan fetched a bucket of beast blood, he realized that storing it in the Star House space was entirely different from storing it outside.
At least it didn’t smell odd, so it seemed usable.
The advantage of the Star House space might just be demonstrated here; no living creatures could exist there, not even microbes.
But it was very clear that the spirituality of this beast blood had dissipated greatly, and after a while, it would almost be none.
The materials for making talismans are also known as the talisman body, and top-level talismans need top-level talisman bodies, which are high-quality materials.
Ordinary people making talismans is known as drawing talismans.
They basically use vermillion and yellow talisman paper, where yellow talisman paper is the most basic talisman body.
Ding Huan is a ninth-level genetic cultivator with substantial divine will, and he also has the Taoist Talisman Jade Scroll, which makes his starting point in making talismans much higher.
Although he did not have a low-grade Magic Artifact Talisman Pen, he did have demon beast materials and Fierce Beast Blood.
Even if the spirituality of the Fierce Beast Blood was low, it was still of Fierce Beast level.
With everything prepared, Ding Huan began crafting the talisman body.
As a beginner, the talisman body didn’t need to be too complicated, as long as it could carry the runes.
The Blue Star continued its lonely voyage through the vast cosmos, with Qi Xinyue longing to reach Foundation Establishment and, after closing off again, hardly ever reappeared.
Lao Liu was like a dead person inside, never sending any messages.
On the entire Blue Star, only Ding Huan was continuously crafting various talisman bodies, inscribing various runes, and trying out various talismans.
It added some vitality to the Blue Star.
Time slowly passed.
Ding Huan started with his first Water Condensation Rune and gradually opened the vast doors of talisman crafting.
As the first Clear Water Talisman was crafted by Ding Huan, he went on to make more and more talismans.
No matter how Ding Huan crafted them, he could only make Level 1 talismans.
Even if he used the blood and fur of the giant ape, the result was still a Level 1 talisman, at best slightly better than an ordinary Level 1 talisman.
This made Ding Huan feel that it might not be that he couldn’t advance in talisman crafting, but rather that his materials were too homogenous and the class of his talisman pen was too low.
According to the Taoist Talisman Jade Scroll, real top-level talismans do not require a talisman pen to craft.
Now Ding Huan was still a beginner, and he needed a talisman pen to make talismans.
Ding Huan stopped continuing to craft talismans; it had been almost two years since he had started wandering in the void.
The Cosmic Guidance Ball he had snatched from the hands of those from Zhan Shen Continent had not shown the slightest reaction.
It was truly unknown how Shi Keling had managed to leave, that fellow likely didn’t even have a Cosmic Guidance Ball.
His divine will landed on Qi Xinyue, who was now a ninth-level genetic cultivator. In terms of cultivation, she was almost the same as him.
Ding Huan was not surprised; Qi Xinyue had high aptitude, resources, and was wholeheartedly devoted to cultivation; it would be strange if she wasn’t at Level 9.
With a shift of his divine will, Ding Huan turned his attention to Lao Liu.
Since entering the Blue Star, this guy had done nothing but cultivate.
To Ding Huan’s surprise, this guy was also at the perfect completion of a ninth-level Fierce Beast, a cultivation realm equivalent to the giant ape he had once slain.
Seeing the stream of demon elemental power surrounding Lao Liu, it was clear he wanted to achieve Foundation Establishment and become a Demon Beast.
A thought struck Ding Huan, and he kept his divine will focused on Lao Liu.
This fellow was from ancient times, and he must have had a way to establish a foundation.
But after just a dozen minutes, Ding Huan withdrew his divine will.
He knew that Lao Liu had likely tried to establish a foundation more than once or twice; judging by the elemental power fluctuations emanating from Lao Liu, it seemed improbable that this guy would succeed in becoming a Demon Beast.
Not at least in the void of space.
Feeling Ding Huan’s divine will, Qi Xinyue stopped her cultivation and came out.
"Xinyue, I think we can’t keep waiting like this; if we wait further, we might have reached the end of our lifespans by the time we get out of the Solar System," Ding Huan expressed his thoughts.
Qi Xinyue was very astute and sensed that Ding Huan intended to take a risk.
"If you think it’s right, then go ahead and do it; wherever you go, I’ll follow," she said in a soft tone, her intention crystal clear.
That was if Ding Huan was to die, she would follow suit.
Ding Huan nodded, and his divine will sharply prodded the cultivating Lao Liu.
Lao Liu was quite dissatisfied, aware of Ding Huan’s divine will from before.
Mr. Huan himself didn’t cultivate, yet he always interrupted others.
But it was helpless and had to come out.
"Mr. Huan," Lao Liu called out.
It knew Ding Huan definitely understood what it meant, so it didn’t bother with paper; it felt trouble.
Ding Huan scanned the scene outside, which was indistinguishable from when they had entered the cosmic starry sky, and sighed:
"Lao Liu, our aimless wandering in the cosmos isn’t getting us anywhere.
My idea is to find a wormhole vortex and just direct Blue Star right into it; let fate decide our survival."
"Whatever Mr. Huan says to do, we’ll do," Lao Liu responded this time with a written note.
It had tried to establish a foundation more than once or twice, and it was anyone’s guess how far it was from success.
For Lao Liu, if there was no advancement in cultivation, it was no different from being dead.
