A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 385: A Turning Point

In the cave.

As operating rules were restored, heavy rain washed away the skeletons and corpses that had fallen to the ground, and they were covered with rapidly growing moss.

The traces of past battles are now blurred, and the grass and trees are growing and flourishing, repairing the devastation on the ground bit by bit.

Birds and beasts rest in peace, and ancient trees grow.

There are gurgling springs in this cave and the mountains are beautiful and serene.

In a sealed cave.

A small flame of true essence flickered like a candle, illuminating the

Lu Luan sat cross-legged in mid-air with his eyes tightly closed. The power of his soul surged between his brows like water gushing out of a well. It seemed that he was carefully feeling something.

If you look closely, you can find that there are actually dense fine lines around his body surrounding him, shaped like a sphere.

Moreover, these lines are increasing little by little, and under the light, they faintly reflect light waves.

After a long time.

Lu Luan's eyebrows twitched, and he opened his eyes that were as deep as the sea.

During this period of time, he had long since recovered from his initial powerlessness. Being imprisoned in this silent space is actually an extreme test of one's mind and will. If it were any other cultivator, he would have probably collapsed mentally long ago. Looking at him now, his heart has been sublimated again.

Next, Lu Luan was suspended in the air, looking at the lines around him that he had condensed with his true essence, and muttered, "So that's how it is."

He had been using his soul to sense and seal his own power bit by bit. After such a long period of trial and error, he finally figured out some patterns.

These lines around were the way the power of the talisman came into play after it merged with the mountain. Of course, since the penetrating power of the soul was still not enough, this was only the layer closest to him. There were countless more lines outside, densely packed together, completely trapping him.

Moreover, these lines are interconnected, forming a dense network.

"Hey, it looks like I can't get out."

Lu Luan sighed deeply and sat beside him. He knew that these powers could not even withstand the thing left by Xiao Xi, so how could he possibly break it.

The reason why I condensed these is to see if it is possible to find any flaws.

But he obviously overestimated himself. This talisman may not be able to suppress people in the Jindan realm, but it is definitely more than enough to seal those who are half-step Jindan.

"The witch trapped me here with a talisman, which means she will definitely come again."

He thought that the other party would obviously not give up, otherwise he would not waste such a talisman on him.

Thinking of this, he had an idea, "With my current ability, I can't break the seal of this talisman. If I want to get out, I'm afraid I can only wait for the witch to come next time. During this time, if I can cultivate the God-Slaying Technique to a higher level, the power will increase greatly, and I may have a chance to kill her."

Of course, this was just a fleeting thought, and he quickly shook his head and said, "Without enough spiritual power, even if I refine the God-Slaying Technique to its extreme, I'm afraid it won't pose any threat to the demon."

"Spiritual power..."

As if he had thought of something, a gleam of light flashed in Lu Luan's eyes, "If I can break through to the late stage of foundation building, my soul will also rise with the progress of my cultivation. In this case, there may still be a possibility."

"Alas, what a pity...it would be great if I could practice in the Qingyun Baihe Temple."

He thought of the idle soul-refining technique that he had in his mind but had not had time to practice. If he could practice it successfully, the power of his soul would surely increase greatly. However, soul-refining was completely different from qi-refining. Qi-refining consumed spiritual energy, but soul-refining required the mental power transformed from the seven emotions and six desires.

The mental power commonly used by immortal cultivators is the prayers, beliefs, blessings, good thoughts, loyalty, etc. of all living beings. Things like resentment, evil thoughts, greed, lust, and anger are what demon cultivators like.

The reason why the magic fruit that I had been taking before could replenish my soul was because the soul absorbed was the condensation of spiritual thoughts.

"Then I will practice the Five Thunder Spirit Embryo Art first. I am now at the peak of the middle stage of foundation building. I will wait until I refine my spiritual roots to see if there is an opportunity. There are still several hundred intermediate spirit stones in the storage ring. If there is a chance, these spirit stones will be enough for me to break through. The witch will not be able to come in for at least eight or sixteen years. There is still time."

Now that I think about it, if I can't break the seal, I can only wait and fight again when the witch comes next time. Although I know that the other party will be fully prepared by then, during these days of being trapped, it is better to make full use of what I can use and do something, even if it is useless, than to surrender.

He glanced at his storage ring. Fortunately, he had some spirit stones left as a backup. Otherwise, in this sealed mountain range, without spiritual energy, even if he had a Xuan-level spiritual root, he would not be able to break through.

Of course, when one reaches the foundation-building stage, one no longer needs to eat, and breathing is naturally not necessary, so one will not suffocate to death in a sealed environment like ordinary people.

With the support of the magical herbs and elixirs in the storage ring and the true energy in his dantian, even if he was sealed inside forever, he could hold on until his lifespan was exhausted and his vitality was depleted.

"Ok?"

"This thing..."

Just as he was counting the things in the storage ring, he suddenly saw a small animal that he hadn't noticed for a long time. He took it out with an idea.

This was the earth dragon golden tortoise that he used to practice the Erosion Insect Puppetry Technique. However, since this puppet technique consumed too many resources, he did not even have enough resources to practice the Innate Five Qi Technique on his own. Except for a period of time spent practicing it on Lingding Island, it has been idle in the storage ring ever since.

"That talisman can blend with the mountains and rivers of the earth. Some five-element treasures must have been added to it when it was refined. This puppet feeds on gold ore. I wonder if it has any effect on it?"

Looking at the golden earth dragon turtle, there was a strange look in his eyes.

A talisman cannot be made by a talisman master simply applying cinnabar and drawing a few strokes. Although he has never learned how to make talismans, he knows that the most valuable part of a talisman is the material it is made from. In order to withstand the energy in the talisman, the paper used must be mixed with various rare materials.
