Zhou Changwang just glanced in that direction and then left immediately.

Compared to the performance, he was actually more interested in watching the final duel in the arena.

It was said that two cultivators in the marketplace with a blood feud were using the performance troupe’s platform to duel, and the Life and Death Spirit Contract had already been signed.

Only one person could walk off the stage alive.

The surviving party would even earn a share of the ticket sales.

But ten Lower-Grade Spirit Stones for watching a performance.

Zhou Changwang thought it was too extravagant.

He hadn’t forgotten the days when he worked hard for half a year just to earn those ten or so Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

Now, with Spirit Stones being tight, he felt it didn’t matter whether he watched the performance or not.

...

When he returned to the courtyard, it was already dark.

Zhou Changwang quickly completed the offering process in the backyard, then returned to the front yard to wash rice and cook, and then went straight into the Talisman Room to start his routine talisman drawing.

Now knowing the upper-level demand in the marketplace.

Zhou Changwang would naturally waste no time on other ordinary Spirit Talismans.

He focused entirely on refining Fireball Talismans, Thunder Talismans, and Spirit Light Shield Talismans.

He drew the three types of Spirit Talismans alternately.

Flashes of spiritual light occasionally glinted as Spirit Talismans were completed.

And from time to time, the unique spiritual light of a finished spirit talisman would rise.

Nowadays, Zhou Changwang’s probability of making a finished talisman when drawing Fireball Talismans and Thunder Talismans was about ten percent.

Roughly equivalent to one out of every ten talismans drawn becoming a First-Grade Initial Stage Spiritual Talisman.

Such probability was not low at all.

Ordinary talisman makers must first ensure the success rate of talisman making, which is how many sheets of talisman paper are needed to draw a Spirit Talisman.

Even experienced Mid-level First Grade Talisman Masters can only maintain a fifty to sixty percent success rate, and Low-tier Talisman Masters mostly stay between ten to thirty percent.

Then in the talismans created, they must ensure the quality of the ordinary Spirit Talismans. If a High-Grade Talisman can be made, it’s a small surprise, but a First-Grade Initial Stage Spiritual Talisman? That’s a stroke of luck.

It often takes a hundred successful talisman makings to occasionally create one or two First-Grade Initial Stage Spiritual Talismans.

This is why many people have a complex ritual process before making talismans.

Sometimes, it’s truly the favor of the god of destiny that allows them to create a finished talisman.

And a finished talisman is often three to five times more expensive than a High-Grade Talisman.

With real Spirit Stone income comparison.

No wonder many talisman makers inexplicably believe in numerology.

But Zhou Changwang was ten times that.

And there was no possibility of failing at talisman making.

"Unfortunately, the probability of making a finished Golden Shield Talisman is relatively lower, only five percent.

It often takes twenty refinements to succeed once."

Thinking in his mind, Zhou Changwang’s hands didn’t stop, having already turned into a talisman-making machine.

...

The next day, besides his daily routine cultivation, Zhou Changwang added practicing Disguise and Bone-Shrinking Technique.

Additionally, he had to spend time studying the newly bought Array Atlas, Four Seasons Array.

Compared to the Sound Insulation Array and Fog Array, the Four Seasons Array was much more complex. Although far from the Small Spirit Gathering Array he had been studying, the difficulty level of the array formation was considerable.

Zhou Changwang spent three days to finally understand this array, and correspondingly set this array in the five-acre Spirit Field in the backyard.

Instantly, under his control, the weather in the backyard could rotate and change.

If he wanted warmth like spring, he only had to use the array formulas, and the weather would change. If he desired summer’s intense heat, the array could immediately simulate the corresponding environment. Even if the outside was bone-chillingly cold, standing within the array for a while, sweat would pour like rain.

On the night of the third day.

Just after Zhou Changwang finished a day of talisman drawing and was about to enter the Cultivation Room for deep cultivation, he suddenly saw the sky brightening in the distance.

Then faintly heard a clamorous sound.

"Is that the direction of the North District?

Oh right.

The performance troupe is performing tonight; I didn’t expect it not to be over yet.

It looks pretty lively?"

Zhou Changwang showed a surprised expression, but he wasn’t too curious.

He had seen quite a few such performance troupes in his previous life. Although the formats were different, it was essentially the same thing.

In his opinion, the more people there are, the worse the experience actually is.

After going once or twice in his past life, he didn’t bother with the crowd anymore and much preferred staying at home enjoying the beauty and legs...

So, he soon entered the cultivation secret room and directly started his daily routine cultivation.

Nothing noteworthy through the night.

The next day Zhou Changwang woke up and consecutively practiced three sets of the Celestial Essence Eight Techniques.

This Body Cultivation Technique gave him a palpable sense of his body getting stronger with each session, without the diminishing effects despite higher frequencies of practice.

Because, every practice session was a confrontation with heaven and earth forces, leveraging the Power of Heaven and Earth, to strengthen himself by pressure.

The stronger the power, the greater the pressure falling between heaven and earth, naturally making the tempering effect better.

"Additionally, it seems each breakthrough in realm is optimizing the movements of this Body Cultivation Technique.

Now, I’ve cultivated the Celestial Essence Eight Techniques to a level of (Mastery 197/200).

By tomorrow, I estimate I could advance to the Small Success Realm.

By then, the cultivation effects will be faster.

Much more effective than taking those Qi Blood Pills or Body Refining Pills."

Zhou Changwang couldn’t help but anticipate.

Moreover, he also discovered.

Although his aptitude in Qi Cultivation was relatively weak, he was a genius in Body Refining, with progress visibly faster.
