PDLP Chapter 43 Taiqing Sword Talisman
Chapter 43 Taiqing Sword Talisman
Mo Yuan's divine sense stirred slightly, and a small jade bottle floated in the air.
Numerous restrictions shimmered with light, completely enveloping it and sealing off any aura or Daoist charm.
"Fellow Daoist Du'e, you are mistaken."
"Both the art of weapon crafting and the art of alchemy are profound and mysterious, and are of great importance to me. Therefore, I spent more than a thousand years and finally, with the help of the power of the Purple Extreme Thunder Cauldron, I refined this three-stage golden pill."
Mo Yuan shook his head, a smile playing on his lips.
The words fell.
Master Du'e opened his mouth in astonishment, staring at Mo Yuan in disbelief before turning his gaze to the small jade bottle.
Three-stage Golden Elixir?
He hurriedly activated his magic power, and all the restrictions disappeared. Then, a faint fragrance filled the hall, and the three-stage golden pill flew out of the small jade bottle.
Two perfect cloud patterns are perfectly formed, while another faint cloud pattern is barely visible.
"It really is a third-stage Golden Elixir! You actually succeeded?"
Master Du'e was dumbfounded, and his voice trembled slightly.
After becoming a disciple of the Sage of Taiqing and obtaining the alchemical scriptures, he tirelessly studied the art of alchemy day and night. Within a hundred years, he successfully refined an immortal elixir, and it took him five thousand years to refine his first three-stage golden elixir.
He refined a three-stage golden pill with two perfect cloud patterns 30,000 years after he first came into contact with the alchemy manual, at which time he had already reached the peak of the Golden Immortal realm.
Mo Yuan's terrifying mastery of alchemy in just a few thousand years caused his Dao heart to tremble slightly, and he almost thought he was a waste.
Originally, I only wanted to establish a good relationship with Mo Yuan through the alchemy manual, but I didn't expect that Mo Yuan could actually refine a three-stage golden pill, and this three-stage golden pill can be called a top-grade one.
"What a clever Junior Brother Yu Ding! Senior Brother and I are of one mind, yet you and Senior Brother are playing mind games! If I'm not mistaken, Junior Brother Yu Ding should know that Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan has already refined a third-stage Golden Pill, but he just didn't tell me."
As expected of someone who had seen many great things, Master Du'e calmed down in just a few breaths and also guessed Master Yu Ding's little scheme.
Master Yu Ding was definitely shocked by the Purple Extreme Kun Thunder Cauldron, and then, with ill intentions, he wanted his senior brother to lose his composure in front of Mo Yuan.
He remembered this grudge.
He will not give Jade Cauldron Immortal a single elixir for three thousand years... no, for ten thousand years.
At this moment, how could Mo Yuan not know what had happened?
After placing the three-stage golden pill into the small jade bottle and setting up the restrictions, Mo Yuan put the small jade bottle into the Qian Yuan Tower.
Seeing the way Master Du'e was blowing his beard and glaring, Mo Yuan knew that Master Yu Ding was in trouble.
"In terms of array formations, you have activated the array formations within the Qilin Cliff territory to construct the Nine Mountains Returning to Origin and Facing the Qilin Grand Array. Now you have also made great progress in the art of weapon crafting and alchemy, which makes me feel quite ashamed!"
Master Du'e was filled with emotion, and he spoke kindly to Mo Yuan.
Recalling that this young master of the Qilin clan was valued by his master and was even appointed as the Nine Netherworld Exorcising Heavenly Venerable, Du'e Zhenren's goodwill towards him increased even more.
Although Mo Yuan is highly regarded by his Uncle Yuanshi, the Human Sect is not immune to poaching his talents.
Mo Yuan is destined to be associated with the Human Sect and should rightfully become a disciple of the Master.
His thoughts were almost written all over his face.
"Fellow Daoist Du'e, you flatter me."
"I was able to refine the Three-Turn Golden Pill and the Purple Extreme Kun Thunder Cauldron without your and Fellow Daoist Yu Ding's help. It was also thanks to the blessing of the Heavenly Dao that I succeeded by chance."
Mo Yuan kept a humble attitude; he was neither arrogant nor complacent.
How could an ordinary immortal have access to the jade slip given to him by the Jade Cauldron Immortal, as well as the alchemical text compiled by the Taiqing Sage?
His insights and achievements are merely the result of standing on the shoulders of giants.
"Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan, please don't be so modest!"
"Let's speak frankly and share our insights and understanding of the art of alchemy..."
Master Du'e took the initiative to invite Mo Yuan to discuss the Dao. He no longer dared to regard Mo Yuan as one of those ordinary True Immortals. This person's background and comprehension were outstanding, even among the direct disciples of the three religions.
Soon, the hall was filled with the faint sounds of Daoist chanting. The two began to talk freely and without reservation, and through mutual verification, their understanding of the Dao of alchemy was also improving.
Time flies, and nearly a century has passed in the blink of an eye.
In the later stages of the discussion, it was mostly Master Du'e who spoke, while Mo Yuan recorded what he said and also expressed his doubts, asking him to help him find the answers.
Therefore, Mo Yuan benefited greatly and gained new insights into the art of alchemy.
"Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan, you must be very careful on your journey to the North Sea. This is the Taiqing Sword Talisman that I have crafted. It has the power to kill a peak Golden Immortal and severely injure an early Taiyi Golden Immortal. You can nurture it within your dantian."
After much deliberation, Master Du'e decided to give Mo Yuan a Taiqing Sword Talisman to help him slay demons and monsters in the North Sea and protect himself.
This Taiqing Sword Talisman is not an ordinary talisman. It was made from a piece of bark from a high-grade acquired spiritual root tree, incorporating his understanding of the Taiqing Daoist arts, and finally crafted using the Dao of Talismans.
The Taiqing Sword Talisman is over three inches long and two fingers wide, resembling neither a sword nor a talisman, a perfect creation of nature.
"I'll accept your offer then."
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Du'e!"
Mo Yuan did not refuse; he put the Taiqing Sword Talisman into his body.
When the Taiqing Sword Talisman appeared in his dantian, he immediately felt a cool sensation enveloping his entire body. Even before it was activated, it had the effect of calming the mind and stabilizing the spirit, making him immune to all evil.
"Excellent!"
"Then I wish Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan a safe return. When you undergo your Golden Immortal Tribulation, I will also travel to Qilin Cliff to witness the ceremony!"
Master Du'e nodded and said.
Next, the two left the Eight Treasures Cloud Light Cave. Master Du'e even escorted Mo Yuan out of the Nine Cauldrons Iron Mountain territory, watching the latter head towards the direction of Qilin Cliff.
"Hurry back to Qilin Cliff, plant those six Grade 3 Green Lotuses in the Yunmeng Tianhe River, and put the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo into the Qianyuan Pagoda. Then I will set off for the North Sea immediately."
"I must say, the Taiqing Sword Talisman that Fellow Daoist Du'e gave me has truly given me another trump card."
Mo Yuan quickened his pace, muttering to himself.
Now, in addition to the will of the Great God Pangu, the True Fire of the Primordial Qilin, the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo, and the Qilin Seal, he can also use the Taiqing Sword Talisman to kill peak Golden Immortals and even Taiyi Golden Immortals, thus ensuring his safety in all aspects.
Who would have thought that a mere peak True Immortal could possess so many trump cards?
After more than ten years, Mo Yuan returned to Qilin Cliff.
The Yunmeng Tianhe River originates from the summit of Qilin Cliff, encircling the Nine Heavens Clouds and the cliff face of Qilin Cliff. Flowing within it is a spiritual liquid condensed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, giving people a dreamlike feeling.
"go!"
Mo Yuan threw six Grade 3 Green Lotuses into the Yunmeng Heavenly River. Three of them took root in a clear spring at the source, while the other three landed in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Yunmeng Heavenly River, respectively.
In an instant, vortexes of spiritual energy appeared above the third-grade green lotus, absorbing the spiritual liquid with great thirst, while also extending their roots to explore the earth veins of Qilin Cliff.
Seeing this, Mo Yuan did not stop it.
If nurtured with the essence of the Qilin Cliff's Earthy Qi, the Xuanhuang Qi, and the spiritual liquid of the Yunmeng Heavenly River, those six Grade 3 Green Lotuses will eventually transform into Grade 6, at which point they can be used to refine Three-Turn Golden Pills or Acquired Spiritual Treasures.
For the next period of time, Mo Yuan first used the Water Element Pearl to absorb a large amount of spiritual liquid and the essence of the Earth element in the Nine-Bend Earth Spirit River, then went to the Five Elements Pool to take a lot of Five Elements spiritual liquid, and then he appeared at the top of Chen Su Peak.
The low-grade acquired spiritual root, the Youhuang Willow, shimmered with a crystal-clear radiance. Upon closer inspection, a drop of moonlight divine water condensed on each willow leaf.
For hundreds of years, including the years of refining the Three-Turn Golden Elixir and the hundreds of years since leaving Qilin Cliff, Youhuang Willow has not stopped condensing Moonlight Divine Water.
"receive!"
A satisfied smile spread across Mo Yuan's face as he collected the drops of Moonlight Divine Water into a jade bottle. An idea had already formed in his mind.
When faced with a formidable enemy, he can place the Moonlight Divine Water inside the Taihao Flying Knife and take advantage of their unpreparedness to corrode their primordial spirit and soul.
Even a Taiyi Golden Immortal would suffer damage to their primordial spirit and have their soul destroyed.
"Return to Ta Yun Mansion!"
In the blink of an eye, Mo Yuan had already appeared inside the Ta Yun Mansion.
The space, spanning tens of thousands of miles, was filled with pure Earth essence and spiritual energy of heaven and earth, while streaks of lightning roamed between heaven and earth. The refreshing Wood essence also nourished Mo Yuan's life force with his breathing.
The essence of the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo has been completely restored. Upon seeing Mo Yuan appear, it emitted a joyful trembling sound, and the Pure Heart Thunder exploded in the air, producing a deafening noise.
Mo Yuan summoned the Qian Yuan Pagoda, which transformed into a towering structure tens of thousands of feet tall. The fifth level at the very top was also several thousand feet high and covered a space of several hundred miles in circumference, enough to accommodate the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo.
Mo Yuan activated the Earth Dao Ancestral Qi Scripture, and with the help of his authority as the master of Qilin Cliff, his divine sense became extremely precise, and he began to separate the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo, the Cloud-Stepping Mansion, and the earth veins of Qilin Cliff.
Fortunately, the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo sensed his will and took the initiative to retract its roots, so it did not cause him any damage.
In the blink of an eye, Mo Yuan transplanted the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo to the fifth floor of the Qian Yuan Pagoda.
To keep the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo in its peak condition, he also added a large amount of Earth Element Spiritual Liquid and Earth Essence to the Qian Yuan Pagoda.
Mo Yuan plans to plant the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo inside the Qian Yuan Tower in the future, so that he can always have this trump card and can also rely on the Thunder Creation Myriad Manifestations Array to protect himself when traveling through the prehistoric world.
"I have three hundred each of the Tongxuan Pill, Huiyuan Pill, and Longxiang Pill, plus the water of the Yunmeng Heavenly River, the essence of the Wutu River of the Nine Bends Earth Spirit River, and the Five Elements Spirit Liquid. I don't need to worry about my magic power being exhausted or my blood and qi being depleted."
"I'm fully prepared, it's time to head to Beihai."
Mo Yuan stood atop Ziyuan Mountain, gazing at Qilin Cliff, and spoke softly.
The trip to Beihai was like venturing alone into a dragon's den or a tiger's lair.
Mo Yuan has plenty of trump cards, but he still can't let his guard down.
After taking one last look at Qilin Cliff, Mo Yuan decisively left this blessed land of immortals.
Beihai, Youdu Mountain, the land of the Nine Netherworlds.
Mo Yuan was filled with passion and determined to find an opportunity...
