After buying the formula, it automatically matched to the Talisman Pavilion.
Jun Changxiao clicked on the newly appeared Surge Talisman, and crafting data was immediately listed.
Main Materials: Middle Seventh-Rank Spirit Beast Crystal Core 120/5 pieces, Middle Eighth-Rank Spirit Beast Crystal Core 36/5 pieces, Middle Ninth-Rank Spirit Beast Crystal Core 21/1 piece.
Auxiliary Materials: Wuwang Pill 0/1 piece.
“That’s right!”
Jun Changxiao said with satisfaction, “This has scientific basis!”
The Wuwang Pill had the effect of raising cultivation realm, and the Surge Talisman also had the effect of temporarily raising realm. Using the former as an auxiliary material was completely acceptable.
Unlike before when crafting the Strength Increase Talisman required healing pills, and the Insight Talisman required Body Sculpting Pills.
They couldn’t be connected even with eight poles’ distance, truly absurd!
The system said, “Shouldn’t the host’s focus be on how Wuwang Pills are more precious and harder to craft than healing pills and Body Sculpting Pills?”
Jun Changxiao’s expression froze, his face gradually collapsing.
Damn it!
To craft one Surge Talisman actually required one Wuwang Pill!
The system said speechlessly, “That reaction time…”
To temporarily possess a high realm required consuming one Wuwang Pill, which was equivalent to one sect disciple being unable to become Wuwang in the fastest time!
Healing pills and other medicines had sufficient materials and could be mass-produced.
But Wuwang Pills had been in a state of shortage since they were introduced, and there were still many disciples queuing to take them. To use them for crafting talismans would definitely be heartbreaking and physically painful!
“Are you kidding me!”
Jun Changxiao clutched his head and broke down, “This is too much of a scam!”
Now, how much he longed for it not to need rigorous scientific basis, to use Antidote Pills and high-level Qi Gathering Pills as auxiliary materials.
…
The Surge Talisman was a good thing.
Its effect was not only reflected in allowing the user to temporarily raise their major realm in a short time, but also in the kind of sensation brought by the realm increase.
To be precise.
The brand new understanding of martial arts brought by the realm increase was the Surge Talisman’s greatest characteristic, an immense wealth that could not be measured with money or resources!
However, requiring Wuwang Pills to craft really made Jun Changxiao a bit devastated, a bit difficult to accept.
The system said, “Having it is better than not having it. Host shouldn’t be too dejected.”
“Moreover.”
“The materials for Wuwang Pills, Old Wei and the others are always planting them. Sooner or later they’ll reach saturation.”
Being able to comfort the host this way showed that through long contact, there actually were genuine feelings.
“You’re right.”
Jun Changxiao felt relieved, “Now I’ll just wait for the new batch of materials to mature, then use Wuwang Pills to craft Surge Talismans.”
Crystal cores weren’t lacking, just lacking auxiliary materials.
“Sect Master.”
Ning Duxing came to report, “It’s time to recruit disciples again. Any special instructions?”
“No.”
Jun Changxiao said, “Proceed as usual.”
“Understood.”
…
A few days later.
The Eternal Sect’s regular disciple recruitment began.
Because their reputation kept rising, the number of youths coming from all corners of the realm to register each month was maintained at several thousand, but those who truly passed were very few.
Gradually.
The difficulty of entering the Eternal Sect spread throughout the Xingyun Continent.
Jun Changxiao currently didn’t particularly lack disciples, so he also took the route of preferring shortage over excess.
As for the sect’s monthly strength assessments, quarterly small disciple competitions, and annual grand disciple competitions, although they hadn’t been mentioned in the text for a long time, they were also conducted at fixed times.
Except for the annual grand competition that decided disciples’ promotion to inner sect, Jun Changxiao generally didn’t participate in other tests.
The sect’s scale was getting bigger and bigger, so it was necessary to test its ability to operate independently. If every trivial matter required the Sect Master to make decisions, wouldn’t keeping a group of elders purely make them freeloaders?
Of course.
This was related to Jun Changxiao’s deliberate actions.
Because while completing the main quest, he was also working on another task.
One day to become a hands-off boss, put down fame and fortune, travel the rivers and lakes hand-in-hand with his beloved, living a life envying only mandarin ducks and not immortals.
Whenever he thought of this, the system would very timely pour cold water, “With your attributes even more outstanding than the Spirit Communication Cat, it’s impossible to achieve in this lifetime.”
“What do you know.”
Jun Changxiao said, “I’m only focusing my thoughts on the sect now. The day I dismantle the bomb, I’ll definitely also be at Old Wei’s level!”
…
After recruiting disciples, the Eternal Sect entered a relatively peaceful stage again.
Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji and others successively claimed large amounts of natural spirit stones and focused their thoughts on cultivation.
The Sect Master said.
If they broke through to peak Wuwang after half a year, he would take them to the Planar Battlefield!
A place that could injure the Sect Master until unconsciousness must be full of excitement, so it also greatly stimulated everyone’s desire to break through faster!
With Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji and others’ high-layer spiritual roots, as long as they were given sufficient resources, breaking through small layers was very stable.
Over the next few months.
Disciples successively broke through and advanced toward peak Wuwang.
Of course.
The first to reach this layer was naturally Pei A’niu of the Star Flying Cloud Scattered, Sun Moon Joined Stars.
“No good.”
Inside the Spacetime Secret Realm, Ye Xingchen said quite irritably, “Three months’ time, fundamentally unable to break through to Wuhuang.”
He had the experience.
But time wouldn’t allow it.
If Jun Changxiao delayed a few more months, then there would be no problem.
Can’t delay!
The system reminded the host every day not to forget about being suppressed by the Earth-character expert, so much so that the closer it got to the epic quest settlement period, the stronger the thought of revenge became!
…
“Sect Master.”
One day, Old Wei came to see him, “The new batch of medicinal materials has matured.”
“Quick, bring them!”
When the medicinal materials for crafting Wuwang Pills were received into the spatial ring, Jun Changxiao directly one-click crafted them.
“Ding!”
The first pill was crafted complete. He opened the Talisman Pavilion again and clicked on the confirmation key for crafting the Surge Talisman.
About half an hour later.
A piping hot Surge Talisman was crafted!
Jun Changxiao held it in his hand and thought secretly, “Can I use this thing?”
The introduction said it could only be used after reaching the highest layer of a certain realm. He was currently at peak Imperial level, theoretically meeting the requirements.
But with two epic quests pressing on him, what if after crushing it the realm didn’t increase? That would be terrible.
“Try it!”
“Crack!”
Jun Changxiao decisively crushed it, and the result… there was no reaction at all. So he squatted on the ground clutching his head, on the verge of tears, “One Wuwang Pill, so many crystal cores just wasted like this. Am I being cheap or what!”
“Ding!”
At this time, another Wuwang Pill was produced.
Jun Changxiao continued crafting and called Ye Xingchen over, “Broke through to peak Wuwang?”
“Yes.”
“Just right. This seat has a talisman here that can temporarily raise a major realm. You try it.”
Jun Changxiao handed over the Surge Talisman.
Temporarily raise a major realm?
Ye Xingchen crushed the talisman with surprise and shock. The spiritual energy in his dantian’s spiritual core immediately began transforming, and his realm also advanced from peak Wuwang straight to Wuhuang!
“This…”
Ye A’niu was immediately dumbstruck standing in place.
Advancing to Wuhuang wasn’t rare, but the entire process let him find that feeling from back when he advanced to Imperial level!
Magical!
Inconceivable!
The gradually calming Pei Xingchen affirmed in his heart, “This kind of talisman that instantly raises realm definitely comes from the Upper Realm!”
Upper Realm: No, we don’t have it, don’t talk nonsense!
“Oh, right.”
Jun Changxiao reminded, “The talisman’s effect lasts one hour. After it disappears, the realm will also drop one layer from the original level, lasting one hour.”
“…”
After the time limit arrived, Ye Xingchen’s realm truly fell back from Wuhuang to peak Wuzong layer. That feeling was like falling from the sky straight into a ten-thousand-foot abyss.
Most tragic was Jun Changxiao, who at this moment had fallen from peak Imperial level to peak King level, then lay in the chair with no will to live, “The enhancement effect doesn’t give me anything, but the side effect came!”
