Talisman Reincarnation - All My Clones Are Dao Ancestors-Chapter 118: Huoling

Mu Yan had disappeared when the two turned to look for him.

At this moment, he had already boarded the carriage and was on his way to leave the county town.

Yuanhan looked at him. "Father, why did you show the royal symbol?"

"Oh, these two are spies of the Royal Office, or rather, with no office here, they are under the direct jurisdiction of the Imperial Office.

Don’t worry, in the future you will see many of these. All the inns we will stay at will either be operated by the Royal Office or have a relation with it."

The two nodded as they listened.

"Yuanyun, here is something I found yesterday. Put it on your forehead and tell me if anything happens."

Yuanyun took the jade slip and held it to his head.

A moment later he shook his head, "I didn’t feel anything."

"Well, we can try it again when you have reached Foundation Building cultivation." Mu Yan took the item back, waving his hand to symbolize he wouldn’t tell them more about it.

...

Just as Fu Xian was drawing a talisman, he suddenly felt some tremors.

He kept his focus and finished drawing the talisman – it was an Ancient Tree Bark Talisman, one he had drawn several times now.

It was a double-sided talisman just like the Minor Lake Shield Talisman he had just completed.

Though this one wasn’t a Visual Talisman but a Pattern Talisman –

Using patterns found in nature, one can show their abilities in the form of talismans.

He had used the patterns of a third-grade tree’s bark to draw the talisman.

Putting his talisman away, he stood up and walked out of his pavilion.

Ye Long was already waiting outside the pavilion for him, "Master, did you also feel the tremors?"

"Indeed I have. Have you checked outside what happened?"

"I went out but didn’t see anything. Our next neighbours are quite far away, I didn’t want to leave without master’s permission, so I returned!"

"Very well, let’s check it together then."

Fu Xian rose into the air, his spiritual power pulling Ye Long along with him.

Although he was still only a few feet above ground, this way of movement was a lot faster than walking.

He moved at high speed along the path leading to the neighbourhood’s centre.

On the way he saw that the courtyards of his nearest neighbour were closed.

Guessing they had left too, he didn’t mind and simply sped up.

Soon he saw another person flying to the centre.

"Greetings," Fu Xian cupped his fists at the young lady to his side. She was stunning, her hair red while wearing a long red dress. She looked like she was about to attend a noble gathering, a banquet of some sort. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Greetings, you are our newest neighbour, Fu Xian, right?"

"I am indeed Fu Xian, I haven’t seen you at the last neighbourhood gathering. May I know your name?"

"Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to attend. I am Huoling, a weapon refiner! I was invited to forge a weapon outside the immortal city, so I had to leave.

Alas, the immortal city is always on the move, circling the Central Region and the High Heaven Peak.

Once you leave, it is impossible to return by flying.

Fortunately, every major city has a teleportation formation connecting to the immortal city.

It’s just that you have to calculate its position and wait for months until you can enter it."

"Is that so? When I entered the city, I never had the wish to leave." Fu Xian said as he kept the name Huoling in mind. If he ever needed a weapon forger, he would likely visit her. Mostly because he hadn’t seen another weapon forger of the third stage in the neighbourhood!

"Never? Ah, well, I didn’t either. If it wasn’t because they paid me so much, why would I leave?

Haha you have to know that the Alchemists and Weapon Forgers of our Immortal City are extremely strong in the eyes of outsiders. Well, the other Creation Artists of our immortal city are no less. It’s just that our alchemists and weapon forgers are the most renowned."

"Then I might also be invited once in the future!"

As they were chatting, they continued on their way to the central area.

"Do you perhaps know what happened?" Huoling asked.

"I wanted to ask you this when I saw you." Fu Xian said.

"Usually I would be the first to know what’s happening around, but I have just returned.

This large movement is quite rare. Maybe Senior Ruan advanced in his cultivation? Or maybe one of the three senior brothers and sisters advanced to the fifth stage? Do you know anything of that?"

"Hmm..." Fu Xian considered whether to mention Ziling. In the end, he decided to do so, since it was like an open secret of their neighbourhood. As a fellow neighbour, he wouldn’t have to hide from her.

"Indeed, senior sister Ziling is about to advance to the fifth stage. But, Senior Ruan only took her away around a month ago.

Isn’t this too fast?"

"Sister Ziling?! I didn’t think she would be the first to advance!

In the future, will I have to call her Senior Qian?"

While the two chatted, they already arrived at the central region.

Many others had already gathered around here.

They were standing in front of the main hall –

Grey colours, like stone pillars, were rising from the courtyard into the sky.

A purple light shone in the clouds above.

One of these clouds, the brightest, fell and hovered above the courtyard.

The grey lights became smaller and smaller, forming a formation around this cloud.

In the end, the pillars pulled the cloud down into the courtyard below.

A moment later, the purple clouds in the sky started raining.

Suddenly, below them, golden lotus patterns appeared on the ground!

Just as Fu Xian was shocked, he suddenly felt something –

The purple raindrops passing his body dissipated. The instant they dissipated, he felt the empty soul power replenished!

Golden light rose from these lotus patterns and entered his body –

Instantly, the physical power he had lost was also regenerated!

When the purple qi and golden qi met in the middle dantian, they released their last radiance before disappearing fully.
