Talisman Reincarnation - All My Clones Are Dao Ancestors-Chapter 172: Depleting fortune

"This cave has given me a huge opportunity, not only for me but also for my disciple and my whole lineage.

In the future, it will continuously produce resources for my lineage, which creates a steady flow."

He understood what sect masters felt when they suddenly found a great opportunity.

Unlike rogue cultivators who had no foundation and prepared a windfall over material generating opportunities, he, a city citizen who started building his own lineage, focused more intently on his lineage’s growth.

With each member in the lineage, he could move mountains and rivers.

Today he had this opportunity, tomorrow his senior will find something fitting for him, and next week his disciple will have an encounter benefitting him.

It can be seen from this why Companions were so important in the path to immortality!

Sure, he could keep one item and sell the other two fourth stage breakthrough materials. But what then?

He would get some resource for his cultivation, that was it.

The people that advanced wouldn’t feel indebted or anything and there would be no relation whatsoever.

Such a behaviour would transform a lineage-benefitting opportunity to a one-time profit.

Instead, having a third-stage cultivator of your lineage advance to the fourth stage with your help will give you a helping force.

Whether you need their help for an opportunity, to defend against villains or something else, in the end, it can be used freely.

Fu Xian sighed repeatedly, this opportunity truly came in handy when he just started building his own lineage.

"Even though I want to conceal it, in fact, this natural appearance means that except a person is as lucky as me, they basically won’t be able to find this place.

And even if they had such fortune, since I came here, I basically marked this place with my fortune.

To get this fortune of mine would require at least a peak grade fifth stage fortune.

In that case, this opportunity would likely be too little for such a person to even notice."

He smiled and walked to the wall.

The journey here had taken over a day, and he spent an hour in this cave, observing things for a long time and comprehending some matters.

If he hurried up, he might be able to catch the earliest teleportation.

He pressed his hand on the stone wall, a thought spreading in his mind –

Instantly, he stepped into the wall, his body seemingly melting into the wall.

One step.

Ten steps.

Hundred steps.

Thousand steps.

Ten thousand steps...

He walked through the wall unobstructed.

Knowing the path ceased his worried, allowing him to control his spiritual power better and pass smoothly.

When he was only a few steps away, the pressure on him lessened a lot and he could nearly sense the outside world.

Halting, he started recovering his spiritual power.

His wood and water roots allowed his dantian to recover extremely fast.

In just another hour, he could feel his dantian filled with spiritual power!

A few more steps and he could finally sense the outside world.

With no danger in sight, he quickly moved forward and left the stone wall.

His body emerged from the stone like a person emerging from water, truly a wondrous display.

Spells followed one after another as he quickly moved out of the save and away from that place.

With a few more spells, he reinstated his illusionary image and lowered his aura, even dissipating the remaining aura around the stone wall.

Finally, he truly moved away without looking back.

’This place will become very important in the future. Before I reach at least the fourth stage or even fifth stage, I should try to hide it.

It’s good this is the territory of a fourth-stage beast, at least this way, there shouldn’t be any beast bumping into it accidentally and destroying it for no reason...’

Just as he thought so, he suddenly saw a vision deep in his soul –

The fortune pool, which had lost over a third spiritual power because of the opportunity, suddenly started dwindling again!

It wasn’t the dwindling of before, the slow and steady loss of fortune because he avoided enemies.

No, it was rapid and grew faster with each second!

Shocked, Fu Xian had a guess – such a loss in fortune meant a great danger would befall him!

The greatest danger here would be the Thunder Shark!

With a wave of his hand, he casted even more spells on his body and took out several talismans.

His speed improved several times and his body’s aura became less and less...

Yet he saw that the pool continued to deplete regardless!

His hands moved even faster and he tried his best, but in this thunder environment, even the water element was at a disadvantage, becoming a conductor to the lightening!

While it might seem like such lightening couldn’t do much, in fact, the lightening was absorbed passively into Fu Xian during his movement, slowing him down and trying to paralyse him!

He couldn’t allow this to happen!

So, one after another talisman flew out of his sleeve and landed on his body –

Divine Speed Talisman, Great Wind Talisman, Fast River Talisman...

All common second stage talismans in the way of escape, yet they still couldn’t shake this fortune off!

He was shocked, what kind of danger was this that could make his fortune deplete so much?

Seeing the danger didn’t lessen, he thought for a moment before waving again –

A tree-shadow appeared behind him. In the centre of the tree shadow, there was a glowing radiant green light.

At the same time, various illusory trees appeared all around him.

*Snap!*

*Fall*

The trees were pierced by the branches and roots of the main tree, a spiritual power was absorbed, instantly delivered to Fu Xian’s dantian.

With each tree falling, he could feel his dantian becoming a greener space.

This allowed him to directly use various spells and advance quickly!

’Hmph, don’t underestimate me just because I’m weaker!’ he shouted in his heart –

He might be weaker in a fight, but he was strong in running away!
