Chapter 294
Qin Yun had originally thought that he would use the magical beast crystal eggs to exchange for the service. Now, he was only helping to create two talismans. He nodded and said with a smile, "No problem. The talismans to be crafted shouldn't be difficult, right?"
"It's not that hard, I think you should be able to do it! Rest assured, I will let you step into the Martial Dao realm first. This way, you will be able to produce it more easily!" Wu Xiang chuckled. He took out a large vat from his storage tool. Qin Yun didn't know what was inside but it was pitch black.
Qin Yun asked, "Elder Wu, with your ability, you should be able to find an even better Inscription Master to help you create a spirit talisman. Why are you looking for me?"
Wu Xiang took out a stick, stir the black liquid in the vat and said: "Because I don't believe in the inscriptionists! I'm worried that they will steal my spirit inscription!"
Qin Yun was even more puzzled. He asked again, "Then, am I trustworthy?"
Wu Xiang nodded and said, "I can measure people quite accurately! I trust you. What's more, you already have pretty good spirit inscriptions, so you wouldn't care about my spirit inscriptions."
"As for the other Inscription Masters, the spirit inscriptions they grasp are very weak. If they were to obtain my spirit inscriptions, they would definitely sell my spirit inscriptions! After that, they will let everyone in the city know about my spirit inscriptions. since you have grasped quite a few high rank spirit inscriptions, you will definitely not act that rashly!"
"Elder Wu, don't worry. I won't casually spread your spirit inscriptions out." Qin Yun smiled. "Rare items are valuable. If anyone were to master a spirit inscription, a talisman forged using such a spirit inscription would have no value."
Wu Xiang also nodded and smiled. "That's right, that's the truth!"
"Elder Wu, is the thing in this vat the medicinal liquid that you concocted? What are the ingredients?" Qin Yun asked curiously as he looked at the pitch-black object.
"Secret...Anyways, don't worry. I will definitely help you step into the Martial Dao Realm!" Wu Xiang said confidently.
Qin Yun stood beside the vat and watched Wu Xiang concoct the medicine.
Wu Xiang stirred the vat, adding in other medicinal liquids from time to time. They were all colorful and the smell was very strange and Qin Yun didn't know what they were.
The originally black and sticky liquid inside the vat gradually turned clear!
"How amazing!" Qin Yun said in surprise.
"It'll be ready soon!" Wu Xiang laughed and then used the purple flame to seep into the water.
The water in the huge vat immediately began to boil and then gradually became less colorful and more viscous. In just a few moments, it had turned into a transparent paste.
Wu Xiang filled a bucket and pass it to Qin Yun. "There's a secret chamber inside. After you enter, mix the bucket of Crystal Spirit Milk into water. After that, soak in the water. After a few days of cultivation, the Vajra inner core in your body will be able to form the Dao Life Mark and you will be able to form the Vajra Dao Core!"
Qin Yun took the bucket of crystal milk. His heart was filled with surprise as he asked, "It is so easy to concoct?"
"This is the final mixing process, of course it's fast. I've been collecting all those random things for a long time and there's not much left now!" Wu Xiang said, "Fortunately, you are here early. If you were any slower, you might not have any more!"
Qin Yun was extremely happy as he entered the secret chamber. He took out a large bathtub and poured the crystal milk into it. After adding some water, he soaked in the water.
"I need to soak in it for a few days. I wonder if it will work!" While soaking in the bath barrel, Qin Yun closed his eyes to sense the overflowing Crystal Milk.
A moment later, Qin Yun suddenly opened his eyes. He felt extremely cold.
"What's going on? It's so cold!" Shocked, he hastily circulated the purple lightning fire inner force within his body to expel the indescribable coldness.
However, this was completely useless!
"My flames are actually unable to withstand this cold!" Qin Yun was alarmed. Just as he wanted to leave the bathtub, he realized that his body had stiffened.
He felt as if he was frozen, unable to move!
"Is there a problem with this old witch doctor?" He couldn't help but have this question in his mind. At this moment, not only was he unable to move his body, even his consciousness was gradually becoming blurry.
Qin Yun felt extremely cold and uncomfortable. Then, he gradually lost consciousness and fell asleep in the bath barrel.
Five days later, Qin Yun woke up. His body trembled violently as he looked around in surprise.
He was still in the tub but the water had dried up and not a drop of it was left.
"I fainted due to the cold earlier and then...what happened?" Qin Yun walked out of the bath tub and put on his clothes. He was extremely puzzled as he inspected his three Vajra inner cores. None of them had broken through.
However, he still felt a trace of pleasant surprise. This was because the three Vajra inner cores all showed signs of strengthening.
"There are very shallow marks on the surface of the three vajra inner cores. They should be the life marks of the Great Dao but they have yet to be fully revealed and need to be soaked in the medicinal liquid more!"
Qin Yun was now certain that the strange medicinal liquid was of great help. However, he had three Vajra inner cores. If he were to turn all of them into Vajra inner cores, he would need even more medicinal liquids.
Wu Xiang was toying with some skeletons in the hall outside. When he saw Qin Yun coming out, he walked over with great joy.
The moment he walked over, he sensed the energy fluctuations in Qin Yun's body. His expression changed immediately as he exclaimed in surprise, "You did not make a breakthrough!"
"This... I don't know why but I can feel that the medicine is very useful!" It was not easy for Qin Yun to tell the truth. He did not want others to know that he had three Vajra inner cores.
"Strange! Under normal circumstances, this would not have happened!" Wu Xiang frowned.
"Elder Wu, I only have one spirit vein. Could it be related to this?" Qin Yun asked. He had fainted while soaking in the medicinal liquid, so he did not know if his Nine Yang Divine Spirit was absorbing the nine energies.
"NO! My medicine is very special and is not restricted by the spirit vein!" Wu Xiang circled around Qin Yun. His pair of deep, sharp, old eyes seemed as though they could see through Qin Yun.
He rubbed his chin and said with a puzzled expression, "Since this happened, there is only one possibility and that is that you have cultivated two Vajra Inner Cores! However, I can feel that in your Dantian, there is only one Vajra inner core!"
Qin Yun's heart palpitated slightly. He never expected that Wu Xiang would think of such a possibility.
"Elder Wu, I do have two Vajra inner cores." After a moment of deliberation, Qin Yun whispered, "Sorry, I didn't tell you in advance! One of my Vajra inner core is on my left arm!"
Wu Xiang also knew that Qin Yun cultivated the Heavenly Lion Totem. When he heard Qin Yun's words, he was first surprised before he smiled and said, "It's fine. It's indeed not something that can be leaked. Since you have two Vajra inner cores, I will have to help you concoct another kind of liquid medicine, which I have never tried before."
"Elder Wu, how long do you need to concoct the medicinal liquid?" Qin Yun asked.
"A few days!" Wu Dai said.
"How about this, since you concocted the medicinal liquid, I will help you make those two talismans. Even if I can not break through, I will still make those two talismans. After all, Elder Wu has consumed a lot of materials too!"
Qin Yun also wanted to save time and make use of the next few days to create talismans for Wu Xiang.
Wu Xiang took a few steps back and forth in the hall and said, "You are confident that you can produce it?"
Qin Yun shook his head. "I still don't know. I'll only know after I've seen those inscriptions!"
"You can use a high-grade Body Securing inscription to create a top-grade Body Securing Talisman. Just by this, it is evident that you are able to reach an extremely high level!" Wu Xiang continued "I believe in you, you will definitely be able to do it!"
He took out a large beast skin and placed it on top of a round table, saying, "Take a look at this top quality spirit mark, is it difficult? To be honest, even many high level Inscription Masters might not be able to make it. And only Spirit Level Inscriptionists would have the confidence to produce it!"
"To be honest, it's not that I don't trust other Inscription Masters but that they don't have the strength to create them. Many of the high level Inscription Masters are half baked!"
Qin Yun carefully looked at the strange engravings on the table. He was completely engrossed in it and his face was filled with shock.
Wu Xian wanted to see him like this, so he didn't disturb him and waited patiently by the side.
"Elder Wu, can you tell me what use are these spirit talismans made from these spirit inscriptions?" Qin Yun asked seriously.
"Oh, I can't tell you. Please forgive me!" Wu Xiang said somewhat embarrassedly.
Qin Yun whispered, "These are spirit marks that extend lifespan, right?"
The petite body of Wu Xiang suddenly trembled!
"You...how do you know? You have this kind of spirit mark as well?" Wu Xiang was extremely shocked. "Impossible, this kind of spirit mark is extremely ancient. I had to put in a lot of effort to obtain it!"
Qin Yun said, "The creation of such a talisman requires special materials! If you don't have that material, it's impossible to make it!"
Wu Xiang quickly nodded his head and took out two pieces of cardboard.
Qin Yun held them in his hand and was secretly astonished. This was because the two pieces of cardboard were exactly the same as the ones Lan Fengjin had given him.
"This kind of material is very rare. Even if you have the Life Spirit Inscription and don't have any special material, you still won't be able to refine the Life Spirit Talisman!"
Wu Xiang sighed helplessly and said, "I am about to die, my lifespan is almost up. I can only continue my life through this method! If you can successfully make it, I will live another thirty to forty years or else I will die of old age in another three to two years!"
"How did you get this material?" Qin Yun was very curious.
"I don't know either. In short, this is the Life Spirit Marks that I obtained along with them. There are only five of them in total. The other three were wasted due to errors in the production process." Wu Xiang said with a pained expression.
Qin Yun said, "Elder Wu, to be honest, I have such a spirit mark. However, it is even more complicated than you! It's a Royal Grade Life Spirit mark but my strength is limited. I can only refine top-grade spirit talismans!"
After Wu Xiang heard that, his emaciated body started to tremble slightly. He muttered: "Is that true? Is it really..."
