3403: What a true expert should have

What a true expert should have

Of course, Ling Chuxi had no interest in seeking a beating. However, just like the co-existence of Yin, yang, ice, and fire in the world, only an expert who could both attack and defend could be considered a true expert. In the face of life and death, being faster or slower could determine life and death, but being stronger or weaker in defense could also determine life and death.2

'Looks like I can use the comprehension of the laws brought by this earth spiritual Pearl to improve my defensive ability a little.' Ling Chuxi secretly made a decision.

However, the most important thing now was to study those ancient books first.

Ling Chuxi tidied up the books. The Meng family had a wide variety of ancient books, and there were quite a number of them on alchemy and refining weapons. These could be saved for later, so she first flipped through the talisman refining books.

Casually flipping through the pages, Ling Chuxi's mood became more and more surprised and excited.

The Meng clan's ancient records were well preserved, and their contents were complete. They were much better than the incomplete talisman refinement records that patriarch Xu and the others had given him. In fact, every ancient record was even marked with a specific time. If one were to look at it in this chronological order, it was clearly a long tirade of three parts, from talisman refining to pill refining, tool refining, and array techniques.

In the earliest ancient books on refining talismans, there wasn't even much attention to the technique. The method of refining talismans was also crude and simple. Often, the same talisman would be refined by completely different techniques. The only similarity was that the consumption of high-level spirit beasts was shocking. They would use the blood essence of divine beasts at any time. Ling Chuxi was speechless when she saw this. However, it could be seen that there were indeed more divine beasts living in the heaven domain at that time than now. Moreover, although the spiritual talisman Masters at that time were not very skilled, their martial skills, magical techniques, and cultivation were all stronger than the previous one. The blood essence of spiritual beasts and divine beasts were not a problem for them at all.

Perhaps it was because they were so strong that it was difficult to find an opponent, that they had nothing to do and studied talisman refining.

However, after thousands of years of development, the art of refining talismans had obviously become much more standardized and profound. There were all kinds of talismans, such as the earth-escaping talisman, the creation and Scripture-shaping talisman, the heaven-defying life-changing talisman, the heavenly Thunder talisman, the void-shattering talisman, the sky-opening talisman, and the mountain-moving and sea-overturning talisman. Just by looking at the names, Ling Chuxi's heart was fascinated. It wasn't hard to see that the talisman refining technique had entered the golden age, and all kinds of talismans were emerging one after another.

However, when she looked at the refining requirements again, Ling Chuxi felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her head. Blood essence of a divine beast, blood essence of a divine beast, blood essence of a divine beast ... One by one, the tiny words dazzled Ling Chuxi's eyes and she completely gave up on the idea.

Looking back, in the following tens of thousands of years, there were obviously fewer talisman books. At this time, the talisman refining technique had obviously begun to decline. There were very few new talismans that were pushed out of the old. Most of them were just copying the wisdom of the predecessors. However, the requirements for the blood essence of spirit beasts were much lower. It was often seen that the blood essence of divine beasts was mixed with the blood essence of first rank spirit beasts, or the blood essence of divine beasts was used as a guide. Of course, as the requirements were lowered, the effect of the talismans at this time was also not as good as before.

However, it was also during this process that alchemy, weapon refining, and formation techniques branched out from talisman refining and formed an Independent System, while talisman refining itself gradually walked towards extinction. In fact, many of the so-called talisman refining techniques, in Ling Chuxi's opinion, were more like alchemy or weapon refining techniques. Even if they did not rely on runes or refined gold and Mithril, they could still be refined through appropriate spiritual herbs, refined gold and Mithril, and with advanced alchemy or weapon refining techniques. The effects might even be better.
