Chapter 597 - 283: Advancement to Fourth-Grade Talisman Master (Part 2)

Jiang Feng spoke with a solemn expression.

Safety comes first.

He could not ignore it.

Immediately, he walked to the table for inscribing talismans.

"What are you going to do?"

Changyun asked.

"I want to become a Second-Grade Talisman Master. Master, Martial Uncle, please evaluate!"

Jiang Feng said firmly.

As he spoke,

he added five million Fortune Points to Rune Basics.

The panel information changed.

Name: Jiang Feng

Fortune: 23,774,918

Cultivation Technique: Foundation Establishment Technique – Great Success (4-200)

Skills: Alchemy (Proficient+) Rune Secret Spell Basics (Great Success+) Qi Condensing Pill (Proficient+)

Cultivation Realm: Third-Layer Foundation Establishment (Divine Dao)

Martial Arts Realm: Divine Realm (Peak)

Divine Power: Immortality

After escaping calamity at Yagu Peak, Jiang Feng’s Fortune Points reached over nineteen million. Later, at the academy, after encountering Huang Li and sensing danger, he followed Changyun to Cyan Cloud Peak for the examination. Becoming a First-Grade Talisman Master weakened the danger from Huang Li, causing his Fortune Points to increase by five or six million all at once.

In the end, he managed to trick Huang Li, making her believe he was truly her savior. Because of this, his Fortune Points rose by over three million more, accumulating to more than twenty-eight million in an instant.

Now, expending five million to upgrade Rune Basics, his proficiency rose from Proficient to Great Success—a leap of two levels—leaving him with more than twenty-three million Fortune Points.

"Wu Jingyang’s achievement of Earth Dao Foundation Establishment made him a standout among the young disciples of Cyan Cloud Sect. Should I take this opportunity to attain Earth Dao Foundation Establishment too? If Cyan Cloud Sect knows I have such terrifying talent, they’ll definitely find a way to protect me."

Jiang Feng hesitated inwardly.

"No, it’s better not to be hasty. I should find a way to improve my cultivation first."

"With Rune Basics at Great Success Level, even if I can’t become a Third-Grade Talisman Master, I can be a leading figure among Second-Grade Talisman Masters. Even if Huang Li wants to kill me, she’ll have to think twice."

Jiang Feng shook his head.

"What are you thinking about?"

Changyun frowned and asked.

"I was considering which type of talisman to inscribe. Now, I finally have an answer."

Jiang Feng replied.

He then dipped his finger into the blood ink, raised it into the air, and, relying on Great Success Level Rune Basics, began to inscribe a Rapid Movement Talisman in the void.

Creating a Void Talisman far surpassed Xiang Pangyun’s Blood Finger Talisman.

If he succeeded, it would undoubtedly be a slap to Xiang Pangyun’s face.

But facing the hidden threat from Huang Li, Jiang Feng had no other choice. At the same time, he could tell that Xiang Pangyun harbored deep affection for the sect, viewing Cyan Cloud Sect as his home. If a more powerful Talisman Master appeared in the sect, Xiang Pangyun might feel disappointed, but would surely also be delighted.

At the very least, Xiang Pangyun would never try every possible way to kill him like Huang Li, and might even think about how to protect him.

So Jiang Feng now revealed all his strength, unleashing the full power of his Great Success Level Rune Basics.

Without talisman paper to bear the power of the rules of Heaven and Earth, all the pressure of Void Talisman would be on the Talisman Master’s fingers and spirit. The slightest mistake would bring utter failure—at best, a broken finger; at worst, soul power collapse, body perishing and Dao dissipating.

If not for the hidden threat of Huang Li, his need to secure a position in Cyan Cloud Sect, and the fact that his Rune Basics had reached Great Success, Jiang Feng would never attempt this magic so recklessly.

"Swish!"

Jiang Feng’s fingertip swept rapidly through the air.

He moved as quick as lightning.

Not a moment’s pause.

The secret to creating a Void Talisman, besides requiring enormous soul power and deep comprehension of Rune Basics, was also a robust body to break through the resistance of Heaven and Earth, so that the inscribed text seal could withstand the test of nature, becoming a true void talisman in an instant.

"Buzz!"

The talisman took shape. A power like a text seal radiated from the air, making the talisman before their eyes vivid and lifelike, as if a tangible talisman had appeared before everyone.

"Master, please accept it with a smile!"

Jiang Feng looked to Changyun. With a casual wave, he struck the void talisman onto Changyun’s body.

Changyun stared, mouth agape with disbelief. He’d considered that Jiang Feng might have been hiding his cultivation and was already a Second-Grade Talisman Master, but never imagined Jiang Feng’s attainments in runes surpassed both him and Xiang Pangyun.

Void Talisman.

This was a must-have skill for Great Immortal Talisman Masters. Even in the Divine Sect, it was a pyramid-level ability, able to stand as equals with the Sect Leader. That Jiang Feng possessed such cultivation was completely beyond his expectations.

Even the well-traveled Xiang Pangyun could only stare, wide-eyed in disbelief.

"You... "

The Rapid Movement Talisman landed on Changyun. He immediately felt a surge of power at his feet; with a whoosh, his figure flickered and vanished from the main hall’s second floor.

He circled Cyan Cloud Peak several times, leaving trails like rings of fireworks, winding around the peak.

The strong cultivators atop the main peak were startled.

They came out to investigate, only to see Changyun circling the main peak. Although confused, they didn’t intervene. Only when the talisman’s power faded did Changyun’s speed slow.

He returned to the main hall’s second floor, looking at Jiang Feng with a complex expression.

He had brought Jiang Feng back.

He’d thought he’d only recruited an outer disciple with the potential to become a Talisman Master, never expecting Jiang Feng was a true Talisman Master, with skills surpassing both him and Xiang Pangyun.

And such a person actually called him master.

"Master, do you think...?"

Jiang Feng spoke.

"Wait, just call me Changyun! Your skill is above mine, and I’ve never taught you any magic at all. Let’s leave this master-business aside."

Changyun hurriedly stopped him, his expression rather forlorn, a kind of unspeakable pain pressing on his heart.

He knew he shouldn’t envy Jiang Feng.
