Chapter 21: The Astounding Qi Cultivation Level 2

At that moment, Fang Yong also spoke: "Just to be safe, add me in as well, with three Spirit Talismans, it should be enough to repel those Innate Martial Artists!"

At this time Fang Hong said, "Aren't we all discussing strategies now? Let's see if there are any other methods.

We shouldn't act as if we are afraid of dying!

If necessary, I am also willing to activate the Spirit Talisman, the worst case is being bedridden for life!"

After listening for a while, Fang Yun seemed to understand a bit; does activating a Spirit Talisman really come at such a high cost?

Could it actually leave one bedridden for life?

Is this still a Spirit Talisman then?

Fang Yun thought of the dozen or so Spirit Talismans in his arms and suddenly felt uncomfortable.

These talismans are a bit too hot to handle. If I activate all of them, won't I be turned into a dried corpse?

This is nothing like the Spirit Talismans of the Cultivation World I imagined!

So, Fang Yun cautiously asked, "Does activating a Spirit Talisman really come at such a high cost?

If it's really like that, should we think about other methods?

Don't we still have a Magic Artifact? Wouldn't it be better to use it!"

Upon hearing Fang Yun's questions, Fang Lin turned his head with a wry smile and explained, "Clan Leader, for a cultivator like yourself, activating a Spirit Talisman does not require any sacrifice.

Because your own mana is the best payment!

But for us as Innate Martial Artists, the quality of the True Yuan in our bodies is far inferior to mana.

To activate a Spirit Talisman, we must extract the most abundant essence blood in our body to complete the activation!

Everyone's essence blood is limited, once it is used to activate a Spirit Talisman, the cost is unpredictable!

As for that Clan Suppressing Artifact you mentioned, if we were to activate it, the cost would be even greater. It requires draining the essence blood of two or three Innate Martial Artists at the very least to possibly do it!

Unless our family is truly facing life or death, we generally do not activate the Clan Suppressing Artifact!"

When Fang Yun heard this, he suddenly had a realization, "So that's how it is!"

It gave him quite a fright; he thought the Cultivation World he had crossed into was a Lovecraftian bizarre world.

Turns out it's still a normal world, just that the energy inside other people's bodies isn't sufficient, so they have to pay with their lives.

At this moment, Fang Lin continued, "It's a pity, Clan Leader, your cultivation time has been too short, otherwise if you activated the Spirit Talisman, it wouldn't require so many people to pay the price!"

At this time, the previously silent Fang Jianting swiped his walking stick.

"What nonsense are you speaking? The Clan Leader, with his invaluable body and short cultivation time, how can he waste precious mana to activate a Spirit Talisman?

Furthermore, there might still be cultivators lurking around; the Clan Leader is our last resort.

Unless absolutely necessary, the leader must not act lightly.

As sons of the Fang Family, activating the Spirit Talismans doesn't mean risking your lives, stop hesitating here.

Think about 80 years ago, we only had 5 Innate Martial Artists back then, yet everyone activated the Spirit Talismans and repelled the invaders.

Even though everyone except me died, no one regretted their actions.

It's precisely because of such spirit that our Fang Family has been able to continue for hundreds of years in this world.

What? Has it come to your generation and suddenly you can't do it?"

After hearing Fang Jianting's reprimand, everyone else bowed their heads in shame, "Yes, great-grandfather, you are right, even if it costs us our lives, we will fend off the enemies!

We won't let down the ancestors of the Fang Family!"

Fang Yun, watching this impassioned scene, opened his mouth but didn't know whether he should interrupt them.

He felt that with his second level of Qi Cultivation, activating a few Spirit Talismans should not be too costly.

Even that Magic Artifact, Fang Yun felt that with his cultivation level, he could use it as well, just for a shorter duration.

It shouldn't be as exaggerated as they said.

While Fang Yun wasn't sure how to start speaking.

Everyone had already completed their fiery pledges.

Now it was time for Fang Yong, the leader of the guard team, to arrange the strategy for meeting the enemy.

But before that, Fang Yong asked Fang Yun, "Clan Leader, considering that the enemy might have cultivators, I wonder if your cultivation has broken through the first layer of Qi Cultivation, and whether you can contend with their cultivators.

If not, we need to make further arrangements!"

At this point, Fang Yong looked nervously at Fang Yun.

If Fang Yun truly couldn't handle the possible appearance of cultivators, and they had to face it themselves, the cost they had to pay would be tremendous.

It was very likely that the clan elders present would all die in battle.

Fang Yun, hearing Fang Yong's question, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't need to forcefully explain his cultivation level, which would make him feel like he was showing off.

But, with just the second layer of Qi Cultivation, Fang Yun really didn't feel he had anything worth flaunting.

To brag, he would need to wait until his strength reached Foundation Establishment; only then would there be a slight possibility to flaunt.

So, Fang Yun leisurely said, "I have already broken through to the second level of Qi Cultivation recently!

It's just not clear what level of cultivator the pirates might bring.

Whether I can handle it or not is still hard to say!"

Fang Yong subconsciously nodded, "That's good, as long as you have broken through the first layer of Qi Cultivation, we are confident."

Then suddenly realizing what was said, he looked at Fang Yun somewhat shocked, "Did you just say you broke through the first layer of Qi Cultivation, or the second layer?"

Fang Yun's words were not only heard by Fang Yong, all the clan elders present heard them clearly.

But they couldn't believe that Fang Yun had broken through to the second layer of Qi Cultivation so quickly.

They all stared at Fang Yun, hoping he would give a confirmed answer.

Fang Yun awkwardly touched his nose, "Really, it's the second layer of Qi Cultivation, this cultivation level is just at the lowest of the Cultivation World.

And I have no combat experience, so don't place too much hope on me, otherwise it might lead to bad results!"

The others had already stopped listening to Fang Yun's explanation.

Upon receiving a confirmed answer, they looked at each other, then fell silent.

Not knowing what kind of expression should reflect their shock.

Only Fang Jianting, leaning on his walking stick, chuckled lowly, his voice gradually growing tearful.

"Very good! The Clan Leader is a heaven-sent genius; there's hope for the Fang Family's rise!"

Thinking about the many difficult years the Fang Family had passed through, each time barely surviving.

The reason it was so difficult was because the cultivators within the family were too weak.

If the cultivators in the family were stronger, could go outside to find more resources, and train more cultivators, the Fang Family would not have had such a hard time.
