Previously, when He Song purchased the Cultivation Affinity Array Collection from True Lord Luo Jing, he spent only fourteen thousand mid-grade spirit stones.
But now, coming here and purchasing a Golden Core Talisman Dao Jade Slip from the unfamiliar True Lord You Yun, it immediately required eighteen thousand mid-grade spirit stones.
According to True Lord You Yun, this was still for True Lord Luo Jing's sake, a discounted price.
Such a situation could not help but make He Song sigh.
If it were not for True Lord Luo Jing having spoken up, probably True Lord You Yun before him would have quoted an even higher price.
According to He Song's calculations, probably at least twenty thousand, or even more than twenty thousand mid-grade spirit stones would be needed to obtain this item.
But now, with True Lord Luo Jing having spoken up, He Song only needed to pay eighteen thousand mid-grade spirit stones to take away what he needed.
If he had purchased it from True Lord Luo Jing, the price would probably be even lower, perhaps like before, only fourteen thousand spirit stones would be enough to buy this item.
Calculating like this, He Song naturally felt emotional.
Sure enough, buying things from acquaintances could save him a lot of spirit stones.
But now, this True Lord You Yun had just met him, yet for True Lord Luo Jing's sake, she had saved him some spirit stones.
Although these spirit stones were not many, at most, about two thousand mid-grade spirit stones.
But being able to save these was actually already very good.
If True Lord You Yun had not spoken up, he would probably have to buy this item at the original price.
At that time, it would still be him who paid more spirit stones.
Thinking of this, He Song showed a kind smile on his face, and then took out spirit stones.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, here are eighteen thousand spirit stones, please count them."
"If there are no problems, then I will take my leave."
Handing the spirit stones to True Lord You Yun, He Song quickly proposed to leave.
At this moment, when the item he needed was already in hand, He Song's heart was already set on returning home.
Now, ten days had passed since He Song left his temporary cave dwelling.
In such a long time, although He Song had set up layers of major arrays outside his cave dwelling to ensure the safety of the treasures in his cave dwelling.
However, not being in his cave dwelling for even a day, He Song's heart was always uneasy.
This situation of placing his treasures in the cave dwelling while he himself was out on business was so similar to True Lord Dark Abyss, whose lair He Song had raided before?
And precisely because he had taken the opportunity to raid other people's lairs, He Song was naturally extremely concerned about the safety of his own cave dwelling.
Now that the item he needed was in hand, then immediately rushing back to his cave dwelling was the only way to calm He Song's mind.
True Lord You Yun did not try to keep He Song, she just exchanged sound transmission talisman auras with He Song, and the two could be considered acquaintances this time.
In the future, if there was anything that needed to be contacted, they could contact each other directly.
After exchanging sound transmission talisman auras with True Lord You Yun, He Song quickly manipulated his inferior artifact flying boat and directly left Hu Prefecture, Prefectural City.
Hundreds of miles outside Hu Prefecture, Prefectural City, He Song put away the Heavenly Divine Thunder Array he had previously set up here, and then went away.
However, when leaving, He Song still glanced in the direction of Golden Sand Immortal Market where An Ning was located.
Golden Sand Immortal Market was not particularly far from Hu Prefecture, Prefectural City, both being within Hu Prefecture. If He Song traveled at full speed, probably at most two or three days, he could arrive.
However, in this way, He Song would need to stay in this Hu Prefecture for a considerable amount of time again.
Two or three days to go, and naturally two or three days to return.
If the time spent meeting An Ning, or even exploring the abandoned mine in Golden Sand Immortal Market, was added.
Probably another ten days or so would be needed to complete it.
Now, He Song had been out for ten days, adding these ten days, and the ten days needed to return to the cave dwelling, probably this trip out would take a full month.
But if he returned directly to the cave dwelling now, it would only take twenty days.
Twenty days, and a month, seem very close, but for the current He Song, the difference was still quite significant.
Now, the Mixed Gold Spirit Fruit Tree was placed by He Song in the temporary cave dwelling to grow.
Every extra day he stayed outside, the existence of the Mixed Gold Spirit Fruit Tree was constantly reminding He Song to return to the temporary cave dwelling as soon as possible.
Only under his own eyes could He Song practice cultivation with peace of mind.
Under such circumstances, He Song naturally wanted to return as soon as possible.
After making such a decision, He Song withdrew his gaze, manipulated the inferior artifact flying boat, and went straight towards his temporary cave dwelling in Purple River Prefecture.
As for Golden Sand Immortal Market where An Ning was located.
Let it be next time.
With this thought in mind, He Song quickly rushed towards his temporary cave dwelling.
Thus.
Another ten days passed in a flash.
In these ten days, while He Song was on his way, he also completely read through the jade slip he had obtained from True Lord You Yun.
This was a Golden Core Talisman Dao Jade Slip, which recorded many Golden Core spirit talisman drawing methods, as well as the production methods of various materials.
The person who created this jade slip was named True Lord Fu Hua.
And the name of this jade slip, which was painstakingly created by True Lord Fu Hua and recorded many Golden Core spirit talismans, was naturally also named Fu Hua Record.
Fu Hua Record recorded many Golden Core spirit talisman drawing methods.
And each Golden Core spirit talisman had its own unique effect.
Whether it was attack talismans that could cause damage to enemies after activation.
Or defense talismans that could protect oneself after activation.
Or stealth talismans that could make one's traces undetectable by others after activation.
And speed talismans that could make oneself faster after activation.
These were all recorded in Fu Hua Record.
In addition to this.
Fu Hua Record also recorded a precious talisman treasure production method.
Talisman treasures were completely different from ordinary spirit talismans.
Once ordinary spirit talismans were activated, they would immediately turn to ashes and dissipate with the wind.
And they only had one strike of power, and their power was mostly determined by the quality of the talisman paper and the cultivator's cultivation.
In most cases, even Golden Core spirit talismans, when drawn by early Golden Core cultivators using ordinary Golden Core talisman paper, their power was only equivalent to the strength of an ordinary attack by an early Golden Core cultivator.
Stronger than a casual strike, but weaker than a full-force strike.
However, after a talisman treasure was activated, it would not immediately turn to ashes and dissipate with the wind like ordinary talisman paper.
And it possessed several strikes of power, at least two to three times, and some even as high as five times.
And after activation, the number of times a talisman treasure could be used would also continuously increase as it absorbed external spirit energy over time.
For example, a talisman treasure had five activation strikes.
After being activated three times in a short period of time.
As long as the talisman treasure was placed in a place with rich spirit energy, the number of times the talisman treasure could be used would slowly increase over time.
Perhaps, after many years, this talisman treasure that had already been activated three times would once again become capable of five activation strikes.
In other words, the existence of talisman treasures could almost be used as a foundation.
Moreover, after being used, they could continue to be used again.
Repeatedly like this, as long as the spirit energy was rich, it would probably be continuous and inexhaustible.
Even because the production of talisman treasures was extremely cumbersome, and the materials used were all very precious, capable of sealing more magical power into the talisman treasure.
Under such circumstances, even if this talisman treasure was made by an early Golden Core cultivator, but because the talisman treasure materials were very precious, and could seal enough magical power.
Once a talisman treasure was cast, the powerful power generated when activated, its power was at least equivalent to a full-force strike from an early Golden Core cultivator, or even far exceeded it.
And if the cultivation of the person who made the talisman treasure reached the mid-Golden Core stage, late-Golden Core stage, or even the Great Perfection of Golden Core Realm, its power would naturally also increase accordingly.
Each increase was a huge improvement.
A talisman treasure made by a mid-Golden Core cultivator, its power was at least a full-force strike from a mid-Golden Core cultivator.
A talisman treasure made by a late-Golden Core cultivator, its power was at least a full-force strike from a late-Golden Core cultivator.
Of course, the true power of talisman treasures was not just limited to this.
Talisman treasures, the magical power required for activation was not much.
Even Foundation Establishment cultivators, if they had such a talisman treasure on them, could use it as a trump card.
A talisman treasure that sealed the full-force strike of a Golden Core cultivator, below the Golden Core Realm, it would definitely be invincible.
According to He Song's speculation, once a Foundation Establishment cultivator carried a talisman treasure when going out.
Even when facing the siege of dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators.
With such a talisman treasure in hand, they could easily slaughter them.
However, He Song's speculation could only be speculation.
He had never personally seen a cultivator use a talisman treasure to fight enemies.
Even the name talisman treasure, it was the first time he had heard of it in the cultivation world.
Back in Earth Sect, He Song had not found any descriptions of talisman treasures in the Earth Sect's library.
When he went out and fought with cultivators, he had never seen talisman treasures appear.
Therefore, speculation could only be speculation.
Moreover, because the talisman treasure production method was extremely cumbersome, and the materials used were very precious.
Even Golden Core True Lords, wanting to make a talisman treasure, was also quite difficult and costly.
Even He Song at this moment, after learning the talisman treasure production method, was very hesitant about whether he should make a talisman treasure for self-protection.
Talisman treasure.
Great power.
Although there was a limit to the number of times it could be used, if he prepared a few more talisman treasures, this limit would be negligible.
Unfortunately, refining a talisman treasure was very costly, and many of the precious materials used to refine talisman treasures needed to be exchanged with others or the Treasure Gathering Pavilion using Golden Core items.
In this way, Golden Core True Lords who were not wealthy and did not have many Golden Core items, even if they knew the talisman treasure refining method, would probably find it difficult to refine.
Even if they were powerful and had a surplus of Golden Core items.
The talisman treasures they refined, probably most of the time, were also left for their own use.
Being in the cultivation world, talisman treasures, these life-saving items, were definitely something no one would dislike having too many of.
As for giving talisman treasures to disciples for life protection.
Or to family members as a foundation.
If they really reached that level, probably their disciples and family members would not have too much interaction with ordinary cultivators.
Reaching that level, probably their cultivation was at least in the Great Perfection of Golden Core Realm, or even the Nascent Soul Realm.
The cultivation of their disciples and family members would definitely not be too weak either.
At least.
He Song before the Golden Core stage, would absolutely not encounter them.
After all, He Song had always lived in seclusion, even when going out, he was always in a hurry, with various backup plans emerging endlessly.
In this way, how could he offend such figures?
And this, perhaps, was also the reason why He Song only knew about the existence of talisman treasures when he reached the Golden Core Realm.
There was no record in Earth Sect.
When he was alone outside, he had not encountered them either.
Being poorly informed, he naturally did not know the origin of talisman treasures.
Until now.
He Song finally learned about the existence of talisman treasures in Fu Hua Record, and also developed great interest in talisman treasures.
The only talisman treasure refining method recorded in Fu Hua Record was named White Rainbow Mountain Splitting Talisman.
White Rainbow Mountain Splitting Talisman.
Once successfully refined, when activated, it could unleash a huge white rainbow sword Qi, splitting a mountain with a single sword was just easy.
Thus it was named White Rainbow Mountain Splitting Talisman.
According to the records in Fu Hua Record, once the White Rainbow Mountain Splitting Talisman was successfully refined, it would have three uses.
Moreover, like other talisman treasures, it could also be placed in a place with rich spirit energy to slowly restore the magical power contained in the talisman treasure.
As time passed, this White Rainbow Mountain Splitting Talisman would definitely be able to return to its peak state.
However, although he was quite envious of this White Rainbow Mountain Splitting Talisman, He Song also knew that even if he wanted to refine a talisman treasure now, he was probably willing but unable to do so.
The current He Song's comprehension of the Talisman Dao had not yet reached the level of a Golden Core Talisman Master.
Having never found a Golden Core Talisman Dao Jade Slip before, he needed to thoroughly comprehend the Golden Core spirit talismans recorded in the newly obtained Fu Hua Record.
Only then could he begin to attempt Golden Core spirit talismans.
As for making talisman treasures like the White Rainbow Mountain Splitting Talisman.
Probably it would still be necessary to wait until He Song had completely mastered one type of Golden Core spirit talisman before he could try.
Talisman treasure production was extremely cumbersome, and the materials used were also extremely precious, under such circumstances, He Song naturally had to be cautious.
In case he spent a huge price wanting to refine a talisman treasure, but suffered a disastrous failure due to his lack of skill, the loss would probably be huge.
In this way, He Song's mind also relaxed, and he temporarily stopped thinking about refining the White Rainbow Mountain Splitting Talisman.
Instead, he focused his attention on the temporary cave dwelling he was about to reach.
After ten days of flying, He Song had long been far away from Hu Prefecture and returned to the territory of Purple River Prefecture.
Not far away was the location of his temporary cave dwelling.
Hundreds of miles away from the temporary cave dwelling, He Song put away his inferior artifact flying boat, and silently submerged into the ground, heading towards his cave dwelling.
A moment later.
He Song's figure emerged from the ground, and his vast Divine Sense also surged out at this moment, scanning everything in the cave dwelling.
