Talisman Reincarnation - All My Clones Are Dao Ancestors-Chapter 169: The future is in sight
Fu Xian looked at the fourth-stage item for a long time before moving to the other items in their respective smaller pools.
"Taking too much of one item is bad. I can stably consume one third-stage material and allow my own spiritual power to fill the whole middle dantian, thus making up for the hasty way I entered the second phase of the third stage.
Though afterwards, I will take a few years to refine my spiritual power away from the lightening element to wood and water. It shouldn’t be too difficult.
The other two...
One can be given to Ye Long when he advanced to the third stage, and another portion of second stage material can also be given to advance to the second stage.
The last potion of the third stage...
There isn’t really any person fitting to take it.
Mingling cultivates the shadow dao, and the only acceptable secondary item would be of the wind element. This water and lightening item isn’t fitting.
Well, I can try and trade it for a wind elemental breakthrough material to the third stage.
Doing so will allow my own lineage to have a higher standing."
Fu Xian knew that while the greater lineage he belonged to was his senior sister, in fact, everyone he recruited will become his lineage.
They will inevitably become closer to him and in the first century at least they will follow his choices in the neighbourhood. Afterward, they might diverge, but even then, they will generally stick with him as long as nothing happened.
Senior Gui was like that, Huoling would enter his lineage after taking the quota to invite her friend, and Mingling would also be in his lineage.
In that case, giving up immediate profit for a loyal follower would be a good investment for him.
As for the rest second and first stage materials? He could see whether he sells them or keeps them for his own lineage.
For now he didn’t have the intention to take disciples, but Senior Gui might take some.
After all, entering the neighbourhood and becoming a citizen only gave him the qualification to fight for the fifth stage breakthrough material.
He likely already had one or two and only lacked a single item, else he wouldn’t have been so eager to enter.
If he truly had none, then it might take hundreds of years just to get them together.
In that case, not entering the neighbourhood but looking for them outside and then entering it later would make more sense.
Since Fu Xian offered the quota, he wouldn’t take it back.
"Fortune is truly a wonderous thing.
Any cultivator with fortune at the peak of the fourth stage would only treat these materials as a bit of a cultivation boost, but for me, who’s at the third stage but inexplicably possesses such a fortune, this opportunity was truly great!
In the future, as long as my fortune is abundant, I should follow my intuition and find opportunities!"
Fu Xian knew such opportunities were extremely important.
He was already able to see a decline in his own cultivation.
Initially, with the Transcendent Cultivation Art, comprehending the dao and refining his Spiritual Light was rather easy. Now, having reached Radiance, he could feel a slight strain every time he cultivated, and his speed lessened a lot.
His forbearance made him realise that the final stage of the art would likely only allow him to reach the stage of Brilliance. The step further would be difficult.
’When I cultivate, the wood fruit keeps growing, especially that time when I suddenly increased in cultivation. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Maybe this is the art’s secret to having a stable inheritance? Creating your own resource?
But what is this resource? Even at the Radiance stage, it’s not showing any signs of maturing! Maybe it’s for the stage of Brilliance? What if...’
His thoughts made sent a wave of shock in his heart – were transcendent arts so strong?
Able to help him directly reach the peak of a minor stage without any outside influence, only using the self-generated material?
In that case, if the item could truly allow him to reach the True Light stage, then it would only be one step further to enter the third phase of the third stage!
When he thought of this, he suddenly looked at the potion in the pool. Was it really that simple?
Shaking his head, he simply reaching into his sleeves and took out a jade box.
He pointed the box to the water before opening it.
Instantly, a suction force sucked out the fourth-stage water.
With a bang, the jade box closed!
He took out several talismans and put them on the box, sealing it tightly.
"This item has secured my water root, and the fruit grown... should’ve secured my wood root.
All that’s left is the talisman!
The growth of my talisman spiritual light is slower because it requires absorbing the Immortal Light of a third-stage talisman.
Only by drawing them on my own can I absorb a wisp of this light, allowing my own spiritual light to grow.
But based on my calculations, if I can create ten whole new third-stage talisman diagrams, the immortal light from each of them would be enough to allow me to reach the stage of Brilliance.
Afterward, I only need to refine these top-quality low-grade talisman diagrams into top-quality top-grade. This process might just be enough to reach the True Light stage!"
In the art of talismans, the foundation and structure of a talisman, which was the Quality, was a lot more important that the grade.
Since Fu Xian always focused quality and not grade, naturally his talismans all had the potential to reach the peak-grade of the third-stage.
Only because of their top-quality can they generate a wisp of immortal light.
By refining them, they generate one more wisp of immortal light with each stage, gradually allowing the talisman master to refine their spiritual light.
This was the true foundation of creation masters and why they were able to stably progress in the third stage.
