Chapter 236: Chapter 124: Counterkill and Reunion

This time, it’s the fifth.

As a result, his changes were even more drastic, displaying a power and means far exceeding those of a typical Qi Refining Fourth Level Cultivator in successive outbreaks of divine might.

Even if in this battle, he relied on the power of talismans.

Yet possessing such powerful Spirit Talismans is enough to prove his strength and methods.

"Indeed, especially those three Spirit Talismans.

If I guessed correctly, they should all be High-grade First-grade Spirit Talismans, right?"

Fang Shitong couldn’t help but curiously ask.

"Pretty much."

Zhou Changwang nodded.

The Breaking Limit Level Sealing Talisman, combined with the Small Success Level of the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique, truly qualifies as a High-grade First-grade Spirit Talisman, even surpassing typical High-grade First-grade Spirit Talismans in power.

"Quite expensive, I imagine."

Qian Xiaoyue couldn’t help but ask beside him, guessing that they must be the trump card Zhou Changwang purchased.

As for making them herself?

Though she knew Zhou Changwang had talent in Talisman Making, she didn’t think he could craft high-tier Spirit Talismans.

Such Spirit Talismans are difficult to produce even for High-tier First-grade Talisman Makers; only Second-Grade Talisman Makers might have a stable output.

The price must be extremely high.

"A bit."

Zhou Changwang laughed but didn’t explain further. Instead, he changed the topic and asked Fang Shitong, "By the way, Fellow Daoist Fang, what kind of Magical Artifact did you use just now? It was quite effective in battle.

If it weren’t for your Magic that immobilized Song Xiaochao just now, my bolt might not have hit him."

"Spirit-Stabilizing Tower.

It’s considered a special type of Magical Artifact.

It can immobilize the Divine Soul of cultivators using the special power on the tower’s body; the weaker the cultivator, the better the effect. If the cultivator is stronger, the effect naturally weakens."

Fang Shitong didn’t hide it and explained directly.

Zhou Changwang nodded in realization.

He had previously guessed it was related to gravity; he didn’t expect it to be an artifact specifically targeting the Divine Soul.

Even if it was just at the Mid-grade Spiritual Artifact Level, its value was not cheap and comparable to some Top-grade Magical Artifacts.

Afterward, the group began to rest.

After all, after the battle, there was a certain consumption of Spiritual Power.

Zhou Changwang’s gaze fell upon the spoils from this battle.

While others contributed during the fight, the main force was him, so no one spoke up about the spoils, leaving them all to him.

First were those Magical Artifacts.

Among three artifacts, the Spirit Wood Vine Shield was entirely shattered, blasted into pieces, which was somewhat regrettable.

This Spirit Wood Vine Shield itself was a Mid-grade Defensive Magical Artifact. Considering only material value, it should still be worth dozens of Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, so he collected it.

Next was the Dharma Seal.

Although the Dharma Seal was hit by his lightning, it was at the Top-grade Spiritual Artifact Level, with better quality, so it was well-preserved. After preliminary refinement, Zhou Changwang discovered this Dharma Seal could expand in size, thus increasing in weight.

Of course, the larger the Dharma Seal, the heavier it becomes, and the more Spiritual Power it consumes.

As he was only in the preliminary stage of refinement, he could only control the Dharma Seal to reach a size similar to a water tank, incapable of expanding it to the size of a house like Song Xiaochao.

Fortunately, the opponent’s strike hadn’t had the chance to land before being blasted away by his Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique, otherwise, if it did come down, even if he could block it, it would take considerable effort.

Lastly, it was naturally the Dharma Artifact Flying Sword.

"At the Top-grade Magical Artifact Level.

However, unfortunately, it was struck by my Geng Metal Finger twice, resulting in cracks in the body and damage to some Array Patterns.

It requires a specialized Artifact Refiner to repair before it can be restored."

After examining it closely, Zhou Changwang felt a bit of regret.

But during the battle, there was no time for much consideration.

He wasn’t going to hold back just to try to capture it in the end.

If one truly thought like that, it would lead to ruin.

Cultivators’ methods are strange and unpredictable, difficult to guard against, and any slight carelessness could result in death or obliteration.

Just like Fang Shitong’s Spirit-Stabilizing Tower, if suddenly activated, he estimated he might be affected, experiencing a momentary freeze, and during that moment, if there were any attacks, he would just have to gamble.

Betting that the opponent’s attack couldn’t break through his defenses...

"Finally, there were the Storage Bags he carried, not just one or two, but three.

It seems that along this journey, he’s slaughtered quite a few."

Zhou Changwang reflected, ultimately choosing not to waste Spiritual Sense to break the Power of Restriction within the Storage Bags.

Because by this time, Shen Xinyue and others from Shuiyun Pavilion finally arrived.

From afar, a group of cultivators approached briskly, led by Shuiyun Pavilion’s Pavilion Master, Shen Xinyue.

Beside her were Shopkeeper Li Qianyun, Alchemy Master Zhang Siyu, Spirit Plant Master Lu Yun... In addition, he saw two familiar faces.

Gong Bai Xue, and her Aunt Rong, whose strength had reached the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation.

Besides them, there were also two young cultivators and two strong individuals at the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation.

"Sister Shen, you’re finally here."

Qian Xiaoyue saw them and hurriedly stood up and ran over.

"Elder Shen!"

"Pavilion Master Shen!"

Zhou Changwang and Fang Shitong and others followed and greeted them, "Greetings, esteemed seniors and fellow cultivators."

"I didn’t expect you to arrive so much earlier than us."
