Resonance

Just as his luck was about to wane, Lu Yang continued drawing talismans without stopping, switching to a different sheet of paper.

This time it's a veiled talisman!

Lu Yang, who was drawing talismans, seemed to be drawn into an unknown realm by a force.

Before Lu Yang's eyes, a figure was drawing talismans with a brush.

This figure should be at the late stage of Qi Refining, but his talisman cultivation is not low. Every move he makes reveals a talismanic aura.

He's clearly someone who's deeply immersed in the art of talisman making.

The talisman he was drawing was also a sinister talisman.

As Lu Yang gazed at the figure's brushstrokes and sensed the figure's talismanic essence, he found himself unconsciously immersed in it. When he suddenly awoke, there was no figure in front of him; it was clearly him holding the talisman brush, drawing a talisman in one stroke.

The Shadow Talisman was completed, and it wasn't just an ordinary achievement.

A water talisman and a dark talisman are placed together on the table. Upon careful comparison, it can be seen that the level of the dark talisman is clearly not on the same level as the water talisman.

The Yin-Yi Talisman has reached a minor level of mastery!

Lu Yang never expected that he would be so lucky. He actually encountered such a rare resonance.

Perhaps it wasn't just good luck, but rather that the Fate-Breaking Bead was truly powerful.

The three months of enhanced fortune directly opened the door to the rare resonance, allowing Lu Yang to absorb a senior's talisman essence.

That figure should be the previous owner of the Moon Locust Talisman Brush, the late-stage Qi Refining Talisman Master that Lu Xuanming mentioned, and his cultivation level matches.

Originally, Lu Yang's goal was just to get started with water talisman drawing and create a water talisman of normal quality.

Unexpectedly, he gained something extraordinary. Not only did he master the Water Stabbing Talisman, but he also achieved a minor level of mastery in the Yin Stabbing Talisman. The Yin Stabbing Talisman is a basic talisman, and its selling price is only one spirit stone.

Lu Yang, who drew this water talisman, has reached a minor level of skill. The quality of the talisman is better than that of ordinary talismans, so it can be sold for more spirit stones.

Perhaps it can be sold for the price of four Water Statues, or five spirit stones.

Don't underestimate this improvement. Talisman masters make money by selling large quantities of talismans. After all, these are low-grade talismans, so their potential is not high.

Taking advantage of this state, Lu Yang drew ten more Yin Thorn Talismans in a row, with no decline in quality.

However, after drawing ten talismans, his mental energy was exhausted; this was the limit of the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Drawing talismans also requires the consumption of spiritual energy and mental focus.

Especially for Shensi, even at the fourth level of Qi Refining, drawing ten low-grade talismans requires a rest, and drawing dozens a day is already the limit.

If it's a medium-grade talisman, ten a day is probably the limit.

However, Lu Yang can finally see a return on his investment in the art of talisman making.

Lu Yang put away the ten Yin Statues and one Water Statues, intending to sell them at the market and exchange them for spirit stones.

With only one year's fortune remaining, Lu Yang looked somewhat distressed, fearing that it might be too late for the Mingwang Fist.

Forget it, I'll have to save the Myo-o-fist for next time. I'll focus on the plant cultivation technique for now, since the next planting season is about to begin.

The Lesser Cloud Rain Technique and Lesser Thick Earth Technique have been mastered to a minor degree and can be set aside.

Having poured all his luck into it, Lu Yang immediately entered a state of enlightenment once again. The progress of his spiritual plant cultivation techniques during this state of enlightenment was simply irresistible.

The small seedling technique has achieved minor success!

Minor mastery of the Fufeng technique!

Little Jin's skills have achieved minor success!

Minor Success in the Lesser Spirit Flame Technique!

The art of miniature exquisite craftsmanship has been mastered!

Minor Success in Minor Spirit Gathering Technique!

Minor Success in Minor Spiritual Technique!

Minor Spirit Interception Technique, wait, we're still a little short.

Emerging from his state of enlightenment, Lu Yang felt a void in his heart. He was so close to mastering the Lesser Spirit Interception Technique!

This made Lu Yang, who had some obsessive-compulsive tendencies, feel quite uneasy.

But there was nothing they could do, since their luck had run out.

Sitting in the courtyard, Lu Yang spaced out for a long time before finally arriving at the edge of the spirit field. "It's so close," he thought, "I'll come back another time."

Now we need to see how effective this epiphany is.

With a single, powerful golden aura, all the rice stalks were felled cleanly and efficiently. Most importantly, a golden aura remained at the base of the stalks, preventing them from ever growing again.

This is extremely important for Lingzhifu.

In the spirit field, there is not only spirit grain, but also other weeds that take the opportunity to grow.

These weeds grow by borrowing spiritual energy. Even though Lu Yang managed to get rid of them with a single Minor Golden Sharpness Technique, they would continue to grow as long as their roots remained intact, causing endless annoyance and requiring repeated patching.

Now that's good, once Xiao Jin's skill has reached a certain level, this possibility has been completely eliminated.

A single minor spirit flame spell burned away all the roots of the rice stalks. What's gratifying is that the minor spirit flame spell has also made progress. The minor spirit flame spell, now at a minor level, is able to burn out the spiritual energy from the roots of the rice stalks and disperse it into the spirit field to nourish it. In this way, the next planting will surely be twice as effective with half the effort.

Then came Minor Thick Earth Technique, Minor Cloud Rain Technique, Minor Spirit Gathering Technique, Minor Spirit Condensation Technique...

After all that effort, just another half month of nurturing will be needed before starting a new round of planting.

Moreover, with the use of the Lesser Spirit Gathering Technique, Lu Yang felt that perhaps in a few more years, his spiritual field could be expanded.

Before going to the market, I also need to visit the Spirit Plant Hall to sell spirit rice and exchange it for a type of spirit grain seed.

Perhaps less of the Green Spirit Barley could be planted, but it contains less spiritual energy and is not as valuable as Spirit Yang Rice.

Once we find another type of spirit rice, we can alternate planting it with spirit yang rice.

"Assemble in the council hall."

Just then, a clan decree suddenly arrived, ordering them to assemble in the council hall? What important matter could require a Qi Refining Level 2 cultivator like him to go there to gather?

Could it be that something major has happened that concerns the survival of the Lu family?

Thinking of this, Lu Yang couldn't help but feel a chill and quickly set off.

The closer they got to the council hall, the more cultivators they encountered. Normally, the cultivators from the Lu family lived secluded lives, focusing primarily on cultivation.

Now that they have received the order, they have all come out. To be honest, looking at these figures, Lu Yang realized that the Lu family actually has so many cultivators.

Not long after, Lu Yang arrived at the council hall, only to find that it was not a council hall at all, but rather the martial arts arena in front of it.

More than a hundred people gathered here. Although the Lu family now has several hundred cultivators, they need people to guard and develop the entire Qingcang County.

Therefore, most cultivators are scattered outside.

Lu Yang was inconspicuous in the crowd, but when he looked up, he saw several unfamiliar figures appear in his line of sight.

"These people don't seem to be from the Lu family!"

Lu Yang muttered to himself, after all, almost every cultivator in the Lu family had a Qingcang robe. Even those who wore other robes had the Lu family mark, but these people did not.

And the one next to Lu Qingren, that's the Second Ancestor!

Lu Yang had seen this portrait in the ancestral hall. Of the three ancestors of the Lu family, the third ancestor should be stationed in Qingcang Market now, while only the eldest and second ancestors are on the mountain.

Meanwhile, the Second Ancestor was talking and laughing with two other people, not at all like any major event concerning the survival of the clan had occurred.

Thinking of this, Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Fang, Brother Huang, look, these are the younger generation of our clan. Just show us the rules."

The Second Ancestor, Lu Guhan, addressed the two people beside him. One of them was a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Fang family, and the other was a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Hidden Moon Lake. As for the others, they were all descendants of the Fang family. They came this time to make a decision regarding the matter between the Lu family and the Fang family.

The Fang family was naturally dissatisfied with having three counties of land occupied and wanted to take it back.

Without the help of the Hidden Moon Lake, the Fang family would not have dared to do this. They would be lucky to maintain their current territory and not be further encroached upon by the Lu family.

But now that they are affiliated with Yanyue Lake, they are naturally bolder.
