This was also something he had to do every day before nightfall.

Because if he didn’t cast these spells, the growth of the spirit plants would slow down during the long hours of the night.

And once he irrigated them with this excessive magic power, the consumption over one night would allow them to ’grow’ significantly.

In the evening, it was Zhou Changwang’s time for talisman crafting.

Almost every day, he would spend at least two hours crafting talismans.

Initially, it was just to enhance his talisman-making experience.

So the spirit talismans he refined were varied, drawing every talisman he knew in rotation daily.

As a result, he elevated everything from Body-Protecting Talismans, Light Body Talismans, Cleaning Talismans, to Exorcism Talismans and Soul Summoning Talismans to the Small Success stage.

Among them, the Fireball Talisman and Thunder Talisman were even elevated to Great Success.

However, correspondingly, his talisman crafting experience points also increased significantly.

Talisman Making (Entry Level 86/100)

When drawing talismans, not only was he faster, but the quality and completion rates improved significantly as well. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

But now.

It’s different.

He could no longer be as casual as before with his talisman crafting.

Earning Spirit Stones had to be his main focus.

After all, acquiring a Cultivation Technique above the high tier required a significant amount of Spirit Stones.

At minimum, it would cost ten thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

And he was far from having enough.

Growing Spirit Gathering Grass was essentially for earning Spirit Stones, but it would take at least two months.

Apart from that, talisman crafting was the only way he could quickly earn Spirit Stones.

Drawing high-value spirit talismans was the only way to earn Spirit Stones relatively faster and in greater amounts.

"At the Talisman Inn, Boss Wei mentioned the finished Thunder Talisman and Golden Shield Talisman both have relatively high values.

Among them, a Golden Shield Talisman, even if it’s just at the regular level, is worth more than ten Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

The superior level is at least twenty Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

If it’s at the first-grade initial-stage level, the price would surge to over eighty Lower-Grade Spirit Stones."

Zhou Changwang laid the talisman paper on the table, pressed it down with a slab, and then took out a talisman pen and talisman ink, placing them around him.

He lit a stick of Calm Spirit Incense.

Zhou Changwang felt his Heart Spirit calm down, then held the talisman pen, dipped it in the talisman ink.

Once the talisman ink was fully absorbed, Zhou Changwang held the talisman pen suspended above the talisman paper, took a deep breath, and the Spiritual Power within him flowed into the talisman pen like a steady stream.

Feeling the Spiritual Power circulating smoothly within the talisman pen, he began to draw the talisman.

With the first stroke.

Spiritual Power was transmitted slowly but steadily, a little at a time, along the talisman pen onto the talisman paper.

Then, he kept pushing the talisman pen, crafting the spirit talisman.

During the crafting process, his Spiritual Power was continually consumed, and his Spirit Power was crucial in pushing the pen strokes, advancing slowly.

Crafting talismans was never an easy task.

The energy and Spiritual Power consumed were not less than casting the corresponding magic spells, and it was even more time-consuming.

Finally.

As the last stroke was completed.

Buzz~!

A flash of light burst from the talisman, followed by intense fluctuations of Spiritual Qi.

A huge amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi quickly rushed towards the talisman.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

After five breaths, the Spiritual Qi fluctuations disappeared.

The spirit talisman was completely formed as well.

"A superior level Golden Shield Talisman.

Twenty Lower-Grade Spirit Stones in hand."

Zhou Changwang carefully placed the spirit talisman aside, without stopping, he dipped the talisman pen in the talisman ink again to start crafting talismans.

One, two, three...

"Hmm? This one looks good.

Finally a finished talisman.

A first-grade initial-stage Golden Shield Talisman, market price of eighty Lower-Grade Spirit Stones."

Zhou Changwang felt a wave of satisfaction.

Fortunately, since he elevated various talisman-making techniques to Small Success, the talisman papers he used for crafting were all beast skin talisman papers that could withstand stronger Spiritual Energy.

Beast skin talisman paper could fully bear the Spiritual Energy of a first-grade initial-stage Golden Shield Talisman.

Because of this, this spirit talisman wasn’t wasted.

"Continue!"

Zhou Changwang paused slightly, then resumed crafting talismans.

An hour later.

Zhou Changwang began crafting Thunder Talismans and Fireball Talismans.

Both of these were attack-type spirit talismans, even though they were basic spirit talismans, their value as finished spirit talismans was not as high as superior Golden Shield Talismans.

But they were more popular.

In battles, having one or two defensive spirit talismans is usually sufficient.

If one doesn’t hold, activating a second one might not do much either, and opponents might not even give the chance to activate a second one.

Attack spirit talismans, however, are different, allowing simultaneous activation – ten or twenty at once, delivering a staggering effect.

Thus, he needed to craft Golden Shield Talismans, but he needed to craft more Thunder Talismans and Fireball Talismans.

...

For the next two days.

Zhou Changwang maintained this rhythm.

It wasn’t until the third day that he went out.

Right away, he noticed that there seemed to be more people in the marketplace.

He wasn’t sure if they were new faces, since he rarely went out, but along the street, he noticed someone handing out flyers.

Of course, it wasn’t the colorful flyers he imagined, but a piece of white paper with a few promotional phrases written on it.

As he passed by, someone happened to hand him one.

Glancing at the paper, a line of words appeared before him.

"Exciting performances, just at Rainbow Night.

Flying skill masterpiece, Dharma Dance, creating something from nothing, human-snake combat, arena showdown...

Address: Fengming Dock Marketplace, North District Square."

Zhou Changwang was taken aback.

It turned out to be a performance troupe that had suddenly come to the Fengming Dock Marketplace and would be performing in the North District Square in three days.
