Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation

After tidying up the alchemy furnace, Li Ji'an went to the Great Elder's courtyard again.

Over the past six years, he had grown increasingly fond of talismans and put more effort into them.

This was mainly due to the all-encompassing and unpredictable power of talismans.

Talismans do not store one's own magical power, and are not even related to one's own energy. As long as one's magical power and spirit are sufficient to attract the power of heaven and earth, one can store the power of heaven and earth in the talisman material.

The Lightning Talisman attracts the power of lightning and stores it in the talisman material.

The Freezing Talisman attracts the power of ice and stores it in the talisman material.

There are even talismans that attract the laws of heaven and earth, such as those for speed, teleportation, and transcendence.

"Mortal boy, haven't I told you? You should cultivate properly first, break through to the late stage of Qi training, and try again when your magic power is more abundant." However, Yan Kongyi no longer had the teaching enthusiasm he had six years ago.

This was because Li Ji'an was fine when learning the basics, but after truly advancing to intermediate talismans, his progress slowed down significantly, which conformed to the rule that talismans are easy to learn but difficult to master.

He now felt that his talent for talismans was similar to his own.

He felt somewhat comforted, but also somewhat disappointed.

However, he no longer had the urge he had six years ago to desperately keep him in the family by any means.

"Great Elder, please teach me the Golden Sword Talisman again," Li Ji'an said, eager to learn.

Yan Kongyi thought for a while, and simply took out the incomplete first-order talisman inheritance from his storage bag, and threw him a stack of talisman paper along with the talisman brush he had used for decades: "Go, go, go, study it yourself. If you don't understand anything... well, I've taught you everything I know. If you don't understand, practice more and think more."

"Okay, thank you, Great Elder," Li Ji'an said, overjoyed.

That night, Li Ji'an bathed and changed his clothes, and prayed to the Talisman Saint.

He directly selected the only high-grade intermediate talisman paper among them.

He ground beast blood cinnabar.

After a moment, his spirit was in his heart, and his sea of consciousness was clear. Li Ji'an held the talisman brush, and in an instant, he felt the heaven and earth were empty and silent, with only various opportunities of heaven and earth flying all over the sky.

"Swish!"

Qi flowed through the demon hair brush, and the strokes were like dragons and snakes.

When the magic power in his dantian was about to run out, he finally stopped writing and pushed the brush away, and his spirit returned to his sea of consciousness.

"Zheng~" A metallic sound suddenly rang out.

A golden light flashed on the talisman paper.

"It's done!"

Including the five years of theoretical foundation learning before the spirit test, he had devoted eleven years to the study of talismans in this life, and finally made a high-grade intermediate Golden Sword Talisman.

Sure enough, it was easy to learn but difficult to master.

Even this high-grade Golden Sword Talisman was something that Yan Kongyi had sought but failed to obtain for most of his life.

There was no other reason than that talismans, in addition to their grade, are also classified by type.

Talismans like the Golden Sword Talisman, which contain the power of attack and are among the best of the attack talismans, have the power of a full blow from a Qi training sixth level gold-based magic power in the intermediate high-grade talisman, and the difficulty is considered one of the higher ones in this grade.

As for the types of talismans that Yan Kongyi knew, Li Ji'an had already mastered them, and the quality was one level higher than Yan Kongyi's.

"This strike is stronger than my current full-strength strike, it is indeed a trump card!" Li Ji'an carefully put away his first trump card.

Unfortunately, there was only one high-grade intermediate talisman paper in the talisman paper that Yan Kongyi gave him.

Moreover, the activation of talismans requires the spirit as a guide and the magic power to activate them, which also consumes and burdens the user, so it is impossible to throw hundreds of them at a time.

Otherwise, he really intended to prepare hundreds of them for self-defense at once.

As for body refining, after reaching the late stage of the first level last year, he expressed to Yan Hongsheng that he was unwilling to continue body refining. Yan Hongsheng's interest also faded after seeing that he had not broken through to the late stage of the first level after six years.

In addition, the wilderness had been a little uneasy in the past two years. As the Yan family's troublemaker to the outside world, he needed to go out and stir things up from time to time, so he really didn't have time to force Li Ji'an to refine his body.

"Early stage of Foundation Establishment divine sense, Qi training sixth level perfect magic power, first level peak body refining, first level late stage peak spirit beast, plus these Wind Speed Talismans, Tortoise Shell Talismans, Cold Wind Talismans, Golden Sword Talismans..." After reviewing his current situation, Li Ji'an felt a great sense of security.

In addition to his current intermediate excellent alchemy skills and intermediate high-grade talisman skills.

He was already very satisfied with his achievements at the age of twenty-five in this life.

"Gua~" Half a month later, a croaking call came from the soul contract.

Li Ji'an raised his eyebrows: "It's back."

He immediately stopped his cultivation, checked the storage bag again, and went out towards the gathering area.

Because of his agreement with Yan Zongsheng, the family did not interfere with his actions. In addition, his small courtyard was in the border area, which was convenient.

The Yan family had been developing well in recent years. Yan Qingwan had obtained a second-order alchemist inheritance through some means a few years ago, and was now immersed in it most of the time, so she had almost no time to care about him.

As soon as he left the family land, a flying sword in the storage bag flew into the air and hovered. Li Ji'an flew up, stepped on the flying sword, and turned into a ray of fire and flew away.

This sword was still the low-grade magic weapon he bought for eighteen spirit stones in his previous life.

In his previous life, when he was at the fourth level of Qi training, although he could control the flying sword, his magic power was weak and he could not fly long distances.

Now, however, his magic power was strong and he could easily control it.

An hour later, Li Ji'an stepped on the flying sword and landed in the central square of the gathering area.

The people around him cast envious or respectful glances at him.

The most ⊥new⊥novel⊥is⊥at⊥six⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥bar⊥⊥first⊥release!

"Excuse me, old man, do you know where Chen Zhaohu lives?" This was the first time he had come to find Chen Zhaohu in this life, so he naturally needed to pretend.

The old man heard this and hurriedly bowed his hands and nodded: "Senior is polite, I dare not, I dare not. Chen Zhaohu's house is in the two-story stone house in front. Let me take Senior there."

"Thank you."

Before long, standing in front of Chen Zhaohu's house again, Li Ji'an couldn't help but frown slightly.

Scanning with his divine sense, he clearly saw the old figure in the house, who was Chen Zhaohu.

It had only been twenty years since he last saw Chen Zhaohu.

At that time, he had found the trace of the Soul-Devouring Ant and specifically went to the market to notify himself.

At that time, Chen Zhaohu was seventy-eight years old, his energy and blood were declining, and his temples were gray.

But now, Chen Zhaohu, who was less than a hundred years old, had mostly white hair, and his once burly figure had become hunched over.

Feeling his vitality, he was afraid that he would not live more than ten years.

A first-order late-stage body cultivator theoretically had a lifespan of up to one hundred and twenty years.

However, Chen Zhaohu made a living by hunting, and often had fierce battles and even injuries, which would damage his energy and blood and shorten his lifespan.

"May I ask if this is Uncle Chen's house?" Li Ji'an said loudly.

Soon Chen Qingling came out.

Compared to Chen Zhaohu, Chen Qingling was at the sixth level of Qi training and still looked like a strong middle-aged man.

"Brother Li?" Chen Qingling was stunned when he saw Li Ji'an for the first time, and called out tentatively.

It was no wonder that Chen Qingling mistook him. Now that Li Ji'an was twenty-five years old, although his appearance was somewhat different from his previous life, people who had not seen him for a long time still looked very similar at first glance.

"May I ask if this is Chen Zhaohu, Uncle Chen?" Li Ji'an asked again.

Chen Qingling's eyes widened immediately: "Are you? My brother is resting in the house, what do you want?"

Li Ji'an cupped his hands: "So it's Little Uncle Chen. My father asked me to come and see you on his behalf once I have the ability to be independent."

"You are... Li Changan, the descendant of Brother Li?" Chen Qingling was stunned and repeatedly sensed Li Ji'an's magic power aura.

Until he confirmed his identity, Chen Qingling unbelievably led Li Ji'an into the house.

He never expected that Li Ji'an's spiritual root talent in his previous life would actually have such an excellent descendant, who was in the same cultivation level as him now at the age of sixty at only twenty years old, with unlimited future prospects.

Chen Zhaohu's already cloudy eyes were about to pop out even more.

After a round of mutual greetings, Li Ji'an naturally led the topic to Chen Qingling's master, the Scarlet Stone Hermit.

However, a sentence from Chen Qingling made Li Ji'an's heart pause.

"My master retreats for a year every three years. If you want to see him, you'll probably have to wait until next year."
