Chapter 245 -243 Little Blackie Advances

Third-tier top-grade talismans, their crafting difficulty is extremely high.

With Talisman Master Lin’s talent in the talismanic way, she could craft at most three a day, and as Lin Man herself said, she had just advanced to a third-tier high-grade Talisman Master, her crafting skills were not yet proficient, and the failure rate was relatively high.

Approximately one in every three talismans would end in failure.

Fortunately, the materials provided by Ning Daoran were plentiful, which to a certain extent improved Lin Man’s proficiency in talisman crafting.

Thus, half a month later.

“Phew~~”

Drenched in fragrant sweat, Lin Man, supporting her slender waist, finally completed the fortieth third-tier top-grade talisman.

By now, she had crafted a total of forty third-tier top-grade talismans for Ning Daoran, among which ten were Divine Frost Talismans. These offense plus control talismans were the most exciting to Ning Daoran; if he encountered an equally matched or stronger opponent in the future, these Divine Frost Talismans would come in handy.

After all, being third-tier top-grade Divine Frost Talismans, not to mention Golden Core cultivators, even Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators might not dare to take the mana of a third-tier top-grade Divine Frost Talisman head-on, and one carelessness could result in suffering a loss.

Another ten were Divine Speed Talismans.

Divine Speed Talismans could stimulate potential for a short period, granting cultivators greater speed. Ning Daoran, having been immersed in the Cultivation World for many years, could see through everything like burning flame; the push of mana and suppression by spiritual pressure were indeed enthralling. However, the outcome of battles in the Cultivation World does not solely depend on cultivation level; timing of attacks is equally important.

Divine Speed Talismans are a kind of treasure that expands the “unknown factors.” Once speed is boosted to a certain extreme, overcoming the strong as the weak is also possible.

In addition, there were ten Forbidden Breaking Talismans.

Forbidden Breaking Talismans had always been the kind of talisman that Ning Daoran yearned for; they could not only break formations but also penetrate prohibitions, illusion techniques, miasmas, and so on, serving as both an offensive and escape tool.

Even if not used, he also needed to have a reserve of corresponding high-level talismans—better safe than sorry!

The last ten third-tier top-grade talismans were True Rock Talismans.

True Rock Talismans are a kind of high-level Earth attribute talisman that can instantly refine the spiritual energy contained in the talisman, turning it into a True Rock Treasure Armor to protect the owner. They belong to the same category as lower-tier Golden Light Talismans and Rock Shield Talismans, but True Rock Talismans contain even greater strength!

One True Rock Talisman could shield against the full force of a late-stage Golden Core attack, and even attacks from a Nascent Soul Early Stage could be slightly weakened. In a true fierce battle, a True Rock Talisman could well be a lifesaver.

With these forty high-level talismans, Ning Daoran felt utterly secure.

…

“Talisman Master Lin, thank you. Here are twenty thousand spirit stones for your labor.”

Ning Daoran took out a storage bag and presented it.

“Fellow Daoist Ning, there’s no need for formalities.”

Lin Man accepted the storage bag, and her face blossomed with many smiles.

Although she hadn’t been in great condition over the half-month, always in a state of being drained of mana, and even using several mid-grade spirit stones, when the twenty thousand spirit stones finally came into her hands, the sensation of snagging a big order and making a fortune still left her quite satisfied.

“Alright, Talisman Master Lin, you should rest well and recover your mana. I will take my leave now so as not to disturb you further.”

“Sure, Lin Man sees Fellow Daoist off.”

After leaving Lin Man’s Cave Mansion, Ning Daoran’s gaze flickered, his Golden Core Divine Sense emitted and retracted in an instant, as he returned to his own Cave Mansion with Big Stupid Deer to commence another closed-door cultivation.

Deep into the night, at the City Lord Mansion of Immortal White Dragon City.

A Golden Core Cultivator sat and drank tea leisurely.

Beside him, Long Zhuojun’s face was livid, “You mean to say… Array Master Ning spent a full half month in Lin Man’s Cave Mansion? He went in at the Dragon Boat Festival and only came out today?”

“Exactly.”

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator in grey robes nodded, “I saw it with my own eyes.”

“The two of them…”

A hint of jealousy flashed in Long Zhuojun’s eyes: “A whole half month, what were they doing?”

“The City Lord feigns ignorance,” the Golden Core Cultivator teased with a laugh.

“Damn it…”

Long Zhuojun’s brows were tightly furrowed, his late-stage Baodan Qi Realm surged within him, causing the tea cup on the desk to start trembling and buzzing:

“I, Long Zhuojun, have been so considerate and caring towards her, and if she’s unappreciative, so be it, but to get involved with a mere second-rank Array Master, what would the people of Immortal City think of me, Long Zhuojun? Well played, Lin Man. You refuse to drink a toast only to be forced to drink a penalty…”

The Golden Core Cultivator was surprised, “Does the City Lord intend to take action himself, to break through the prohibitions of Talisman Master Lin and Array Master Ning’s Cave Mansions, publicly execute Array Master Ning, and forcefully take Talisman Master Lin as a concubine?”

Every sentence reflected exactly what Long Zhuojun wanted to do, but alas, as the City Lord of Immortal White Dragon City, he couldn’t act on these impulses.

However, as a renowned late-stage Baodan Realm Martial Artist who was already over a hundred years old, even after consuming Lifespan Extension Pills, how much more could it extend the life of a Blood Qi Martial Artist?

His life span was running short, and there were no more avenues to increase his cultivation. The only woman who made his heart race the moment he first laid eyes on her was Lin Man.

If he couldn’t have Lin Man, it would be the greatest regret for him, Long Zhuojun, in this generation of heroes.

…

The years in Immortal White Dragon City passed tranquilly.

Five years flew by, and Ning Daoran turned 170.

During these five years, Ning Daoran ventured out to sea twice, spending the rest of the time in closed-door cultivation.

Inside the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven, Big Stupid Deer sweated profusely, continuously forging, refining the Wanxiang Cloud Thunder Hammer Technique!

“Ding!”

In the midst of the ceaseless hammering sound, suddenly, as though divinely assisted, a hammer strike descended and the hammering technique became even more fluid and harmonious, reaching a new realm!

Wanxiang Cloud Thunder Hammer Technique, Transformation Realm!

Ning Daoran exclaimed in admiration at the side. Old Lu is truly a natural-born forging prodigy; his talent for hammering technique is far more fearsome than that of the Divine Craftsman Mo Yunting of Divine Weapon Sect!

It had only been fifteen years, and he had already refined the cherished Absolute Skill of Red Leaf Valley’s Divine Weapon Sect, the Wanxiang Cloud Thunder Hammer Technique, to the Transformation Realm!

Divine Craftsman Mo Yunting might be unable to rest in peace…

“That’s impressive, Old Lu. Not bad at all!”

Ning Daoran was already considering recasting the Qiushui Sword. How could the treasure gifted by his Junior Sister be outdated? It must be updated along with the version!

“Ow ow~~~”

Big Stupid Deer blushed timidly and bleated softly, epitomizing calm and composure.

“Big brother…”

At that moment, a voice came from behind.

It was Little Blackie.

Within five years, it had nearly devoured all of the Green Jiao Demon King’s flesh, increasing its size by almost thirty percent, and had become a colossal beast within the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven.

At this time, Little Blackie lowered its head to look at Ning Daoran and Big Stupid Deer, saying, “I… I think I’m about to reach Core Formation…”

“Really?”

Ning Daoran slapped his thigh, “Little Blackie, I knew you could do it. Finally, the moment I’ve been waiting for; tell me, what do you need for Core Formation, anything I can provide?”

“That… Demon Core…”

Little Blackie showed a bashful expression and continued, “Big brother, I want the Demon Cores of the Green Jiao Demon King and the Red Carp Demon King. With the aid of these two Demon Cores, it’s almost certain that I’ll achieve Core Formation and advance to a Third-tier Spiritual Beast.”

“These two Demon Cores…”

Ning Daoran frowned slightly, somewhat reluctant… but now that Little Blackie was a member of the Ning Family Army, he had to take them out whether he was reluctant or not!

This was like saving money in his previous life; what was the point of saving so much if not to spend it? Money should be spent when necessary, as long as it’s not excessive—think spa treatments, massages, KTV… ahem, I digress.

“Okay.”

Ning Daoran gently slapped his Storage Bag, and instantly two vigorously spiritual Demon Cores levitated. He held the Demon Cores and asked, “Ready to start the breakthrough?”

“Now.”

Little Blackie said, “I feel the time has come.”

“Alright, you’ll form your core in the Jade Spirit Spring. Old Lu and I will protect you!”

Ning Daoran flicked the two Demon Cores towards Little Blackie, who caught them on the spot, saying, “Thank you, big brother, thank you, Brother Lu!”

“Ow ow~~”

…

Shortly thereafter, Little Blackie returned to the Jade Spirit Spring, its body emanating a rich and terrifying Evil Qi.

The Green Water Turtle was so scared that it scurried out of the spring water, keeping its distance. At this moment, the fierceness in Little Blackie’s eyes, and the uncontrollable surge of Evil Qi, was indeed quite frightening!

Ning Daoran didn’t find it odd.

Little Blackie’s evolutionary path was completely different from that of Big Stupid Deer. Big Stupid Deer was following the route of a Holy Beast, which was evident from its Spiritual Energy, while Little Blackie was obviously a ferocious beast; this was set in stone from the day it secretly devoured the Spirit fish.

Ning Daoran felt this was fine; not all of the Ning Family Army had to be Holy Beasts. Having a ferocious beast to stand firm also had its merits. In the future, any unpleasant and tiresome work could be left to Little Blackie; how splendid!

“Big brother, should I start now?” asked Little Blackie.

“Mhm, start.”

Ning Daoran nodded his head, activating the prohibitions within the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven to hold back the aura of Little Blackie’s Core Formation as much as possible. Forming cores inside the city would be too frightening otherwise.

“Gulp…”

Little Blackie supported the two Demon Cores with a wisp of Spiritual Energy, and with a sudden wide yawn, swallowed both cores into its belly.

Instantly, several massive whirlpools formed within the Jade Spirit Spring, and the prodigious energies from the two Demon Beasts exploded inside Little Blackie’s body, ushering the transformation of its breakthrough.

“Roar~~~”

Under the impact of the immense Essence Qi, Little Blackie’s pupils contracted sharply, clearly not expecting the terrifying energy of the Third-tier top-grade Demon Cores.

In the next moment, Little Blackie’s body tumbled about in the Jade Spirit Spring, Essence Qi continuously pounding its flesh, causing its belly to rise high, giving the impression that it could burst at any moment.

Ning Daoran and Big Stupid Deer cheered from the shore.

“Keep it up, Little Blackie, you can do it!”

“Don’t mind what others think, stay true to yourself. You’re Little Blackie, not bound by worldly views. Walk your own path!”

“Ow ow~~”

“Ow ow ow ow ow~~~”

Even the Green Water Turtle shouted, “Go Brother Black!”

Suddenly, a Spirit Cloud burst from the top of Little Blackie’s head, piercing through the heavens above Spirit Garden Cave Heaven!

‘What the hell…’

Ning Daoran was left dumbfounded as Little Blackie’s Core Formation phenomenon was so terrifying that not even the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven could contain it.

One could imagine that at this moment, a Core Formation phenomenon had already risen out of the mansion, letting everyone know that someone or a Demon Beast inside Ning Daoran’s residence was currently undergoing Core Formation.

“Roar~~~”

Under the baptism of the tremendous Essence Qi, Little Blackie’s body was undergoing subtle transformations at a rapid rate.

From bones to flesh and veins, it was metamorphosing bit by bit.

Even on Little Blackie’s forehead, two bulges appeared, and soon two tender horns with a shimmering glow sprouted. Atop its head, the golden patterns became denser and extended even further.

“This…”

Ning Daoran watched agape, no longer able to comprehend the direction of Little Blackie’s evolution.

“Roar~~~”

After a long while, Little Blackie roared again. On either side of its abdomen, four more bulges emerged, and shortly after, the Jiao skin at the bulges spontaneously tore open, revealing the bulges inside—unexpectedly, they were claws with four fingers each.

“What in the…”

Ning Daoran was stunned.

Little Blackie had actually sprouted chicken feet…
