After delivering the medicinal materials to the rented alchemy room with Qing Nv, Chen Mobai placed an order online and quickly bought the newly stocked two hundred talismans from the Wood Spirit Talisman Store. After the shopkeeper skillfully replied with a smiling expression, he sent them through the same-city express delivery.

Unfortunately, he failed to purchase the Pulse-Protecting Pill from the flagship store of the Immortal Gate. It was probably because of the poor internet connection at home. The moment the speed was full, it was instantly sold out.

Chen Mobai was only regretful about this. After all, he had the third-tier privilege and could participate in the purchase every month. There would always be a successful purchase eventually.

Moreover, he had successfully obtained the Spirit-Enhancing Powder in the previous purchase. If he succeeded in purchasing the Pulse-Protecting Pill this time, it might attract the attention of someone with ulterior motives and expose him.

In the evening, he returned to Qingguang Island as usual.

Although the spiritual energy level of the wooden house he lived in was only first-grade superior, it couldn’t compare to the Water Mansion. However, Chen Mobai had recently developed a habit. That was, he could consciously cultivate diligently in the Tianhe Realm. Every time he refined the spiritual energy of the Tianhe Realm, it made him, a cultivator from the Earth Element Star, feel like he was freeloading.

This gave him great motivation to cultivate.

After taking a tube of first-grade superior Qi-Boosting Spirit Water that Qing Nv had prepared, Chen Mobai once again felt the rapid increase in efficiency. As the Five Elements Technique circulated, strands of spiritual energy were absorbed by him. After passing through the Great Circulation, they merged into the Qi Sea in his Dantian, blending into the gradually forming vortex of spiritual power.

After finishing his meditation, Chen Mobai looked at the dark sky outside. It was completely dark.

He checked the time on his phone and it was exactly four o’clock in the morning.

He decided to start assembling the talismans he would use in the fight.

Among the talismans he currently had for combat, there was only the “Grass and Wood Soldiers Talisman” that was of first-grade superior quality.

According to the description, this talisman could exert its maximum effectiveness in a forest environment and was mainly used for trapping and suppressing opponents. The fight would take place at the Danzhu Academy, where there were also plants, but mostly mountain peaks with Danxia landforms. After thinking for a moment, Chen Mobai gave up on using this talisman.

He also searched various talisman stores on the Immortal Gate website, but talismans for combat were extremely rare and had many restrictions to prevent inexperienced cultivators from causing trouble.

They were all too mild.

Chen Mobai shook his head. He couldn’t find a combat talisman on the Immortal Gate website that satisfied him.

Unknowingly, he remembered the “Crimson Flame Sword Talisman” that Qi Hou had used back then. Although it required some preparation time to activate, its power was incredibly strong, and its speed was also very fast. Even the Black Plague Bird, known for its flight, couldn’t escape from it.

After all, when it came to fighting, cultivators from the Tianhe Realm were more skilled.

Although the spells and techniques related to people’s livelihoods were only average in development, Chen Mobai still recognized the cultivators of this world in terms of combat.

He remembered the “Shenmu Sect’s Talisman Crafting Experience” that Lu Shu had given him in Nanxi Market. He immediately took it out from the bottom of his backpack.

He first looked at the table of contents and found the introduction to the “Crimson Flame Sword Talisman” as expected.

Crimson Flame Sword Talisman: A first-grade superior talisman. The talisman crafter can solidify their own cultivated Crimson Flame Sword Light into the talisman paper. It can seal up to three sword lights, which can all be released at once or one by one.

Unfortunately, this experience only had the introduction to this talisman and did not have the detailed method of refining it.

However, it was precisely because of this that Chen Mobai learned that the “Crimson Flame Sword Talisman” had three levels.

The one Qi Hou had used last time was the most basic one, only sealing one Crimson Flame Sword Light. If all three sword lights were released at the same time and the user’s spiritual consciousness was sufficient, they could even arrange them into a small sword formation at the moment of activation, taking the power of the talisman to another level.

In other words, although the “Crimson Flame Sword Talisman” was only a first-grade superior talisman, when all the conditions were met, it could exert the power comparable to a second-grade inferior talisman.

It might even be no worse than the “Wood Thunder Talisman” in Chen Mobai’s hand.

So, let’s choose this one.

After reading the introduction, Chen Mobai felt that if he had the “Crimson Flame Three Swords Talisman,” even if he couldn’t take first place in the fight, it should be no problem to enter the top ten.

Tomorrow, he would go to the talisman store of the Shenmu Sect on the island to see if they had this talisman for sale.

After making the “Crimson Flame Three Swords Talisman” his first target, Chen Mobai began to choose two first-grade medium-quality talismans.

The Green Arrow Talisman and the Wooden Armor Talisman were both very handy for him. They were the two talismans he used the most and was most proficient in. He temporarily decided on these two.

Finally, there were four first-grade inferior-quality talismans left.

Chen Mobai assembled a set consisting of the Wooden Shield Talisman, Wooden Prison Talisman, Entanglement Talisman, and Detoxification Talisman. In the fight at the Immortal Gate, it was definitely a matter of hitting the target and stopping. These talismans were just right for dealing with those Qi Refining Stage opponents who were just trying to make up the numbers.

However, the Wooden Shield Talisman and the Wooden Armor Talisman had some overlapping functions, and Chen Mobai had also cultivated the Water Shield. He felt that he had too many defensive methods.

But after thinking about it, it wouldn’t hurt to stand invincible for the time being. So, he temporarily left it like that.

After roughly assembling a set of talismans for the fight, Chen Mobai decided to go find the Black Armored Turtle to practice tomorrow.

He looked at the still dark sky outside and continued reading the “Shenmu Sect’s Talisman Crafting Experience” in his hand.

He wondered if he could use the talismans from the Tianhe Realm to further optimize his set.

This experience was distributed to new disciples of the Shenmu Sect and recorded the forty-eight most common talismans of the sect. However, there were only five talismans with actual refining methods.

They were the “Resurrection Talisman,” “Regeneration Talisman,” “Rebirth Talisman,” “New Life Talisman,” and “Recovery Talisman.”The names alone indicated that these were a complete system of talismans, all used for healing and saving lives.

The “Revival Talisman” was a degraded version of the “Resurrection Talisman”. It could be used to restore spiritual power, the amount of which depended on the user’s cultivation level. However, it did not have the powerful effect of removing all negative effects like the Resurrection Talisman.

The “Regeneration Talisman” was quite powerful. It could regenerate severed fingers, or even limbs like arms. If used shortly after the injury, it could reattach the severed part.

The “Renewal Talisman” was the best-selling talisman of the Shenmu Sect in the low-level market. It could enhance a man’s virility.

The “Rebirth Talisman” could make cultivators whose bodies had begun to age feel young and vigorous again. It also sold well.

The most powerful “Life-Returning Talisman” was a life-saving talisman. No matter how severe the injury, as long as one slapped this talisman on oneself, they could hold on to their breath for three days. Of course, if your head was chopped off, even ten Life-Returning Talismans would be useless. It was generally used when preparing for one’s last rites.

After reading this book on talisman-making insights, Chen Mobai had a bit of understanding of the Shenmu Sect’s tactics.

It turned out that this major sect in the Eastern Wilderness recruited rogue cultivators specifically for talisman-making.

The contribution to the sect from making talismans, it was said that once it accumulated to ten thousand, it could be exchanged for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

What a pure and backward capitalist system.
