PDLP Chapter 145 Choosing an Emblem
Chapter 145 Choosing an Emblem
The effect of this [Ghost Domain Suppressing Spirit Emblem] is comparable to a divine skill of the domain.
Its range increases with divine sense, suppressing the enemy's cultivation and enhancing the ally's defense, and it also has the ability to stun.
Its value is immeasurable in group battles or high-level cultivator duels.
If you encounter a Nascent Soul cultivator who has fallen a small realm after entering the domain, wouldn't that mean they are in the late Core Formation stage?
After some further thought, Chen Xu decided to give the [Ghost Domain Suppressing Spirit Emblem] to Xiao Yun.
In any case, Qingling and Xiaoyun not only share cultivation and supernatural abilities, but also share divine sense.
As for Qingling, Chen Xu was inclined to equip her with a rune that would help her cultivation.
After all, as a ghost cultivator, Qingling needs not only to find places where yin energy gathers, but also to slaughter countless living beings in order to improve her cultivation...
However, if one cultivates in such a cruel way, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.
At this moment, Chen Xu had a thought, and the [Ghost Domain Suppressing Spirit Emblem] transformed into a stream of light and entered Xiao Yun's body.
Qingling immediately sensed Xiaoyun's unusual behavior, her beautiful eyes widened, and her face was full of disbelief:
"Senior brother! Xiaoyun has truly awakened a very powerful divine ability!"
Chen Xu nodded slightly and took out a treasured [Reward Designator] from his storage space.
With a slight thought, he decisively chose the [Book of Emblems].
Qingling's beautiful eyes lit up when she saw the light shimmering in Chen Xu's hand and another book exuding a mysterious aura appeared in his palm.
"Senior brother! This... could it still be..."
Without further ado, Chen Xu opened the Book of Emblems again for Qing Ling.
As the pages of the book turned, five brand-new illusory emblems appeared in the air.
This time, however, the "selectable target" prompt at the beginning had indeed disappeared.
[Hell Paper Emblem]: When equipped, it consumes 10% of the user's total lifespan to condense 3 pieces of hell paper. A maximum of 9 pieces of hell paper can exist at the same time.
The joss paper can absorb one attack for itself (regardless of the damage amount, but cannot absorb attacks for other targets).
【Netherworld Devouring Emblem】: When equipped, your attacks will have the "Netherworld" effect, which will continuously corrode the target's spiritual power upon hitting them (corroding 1% of spiritual power per second).
70% of the corrosive spiritual energy is used to restore one's own condition.
[Netherworld Lord's Emblem]: When equipped, it will have a deterrent effect on other ghost cultivators.
Each kill grants a temporary buff of Shadow Protection (immunity to all crowd control effects for 5 seconds).
【Frosty Soul Shattering Emblem】: When equipped, there is a 1% chance to trigger the "Soul Shattering" effect when attacking, tearing 10% of the target's soul (causing irreversible soul damage).
The torn soul can briefly increase one's attack by 20% for 3 seconds, with a 100-second cooldown.
[Cultivation Emblem]: After equipping it, you can steadily improve your cultivation level by consuming Yin-type rare and precious materials, elixirs, and spiritual foods.
When encountering minor bottlenecks during cultivation, one can use Yin energy to smooth out the obstacles and break through them without any hindrance.
Chen Xu's gaze swept over the five options.
The moment I saw the description of the [Secluded Cultivation Emblem], I had no more hesitation.
One can steadily improve one's cultivation level by consuming rare and precious herbs, elixirs, and spiritual foods related to Yin energy, and even ignore minor bottlenecks.
No longer needing to rely on killing or searching for specific yin and evil places, as long as there are enough resources, their cultivation can steadily improve.
This is simply a perfect solution tailor-made for Qingling's cultivation problems.
As for other emblems...
The [Hell Paper Emblem] is an incredibly valuable life-saving item, offering extremely high damage reduction by ignoring the damage cap. .
But the price is the depletion of precious lifespan.
Moreover, this Qingling item can only be used for self-defense and cannot protect Chen Xu from harm, so there was no choice.
The [Netherworld Devouring Spirit Emblem] leans towards combat sustain, corroding the enemy's spiritual power to restore one's own, and is fairly standard.
The 【Netherworld Lord's Emblem】is effective against ghost cultivators and provides temporary immunity to control effects. Its effectiveness is decent, but its applicability is relatively limited.
The 【Frosty Soul Shattering Emblem】has strong explosive power and comes with soul damage.
However, the 1% trigger probability is too low, and the cooldown time is too long.
After making his selection, Chen Xu raised his hand and pointed.
The phantom image of the [Secluded Cultivation Emblem] then transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into Qingling's brow...
Three days later, in Qinglan City.
At this moment, the huge martial arts arena in the city center was bustling with noise, the roar of colliding spiritual energy intertwined with the cheers of the audience.
Today is a grand martial arts competition for the younger generation of the three major Core Formation families in the city: Zhao, Sun, and Yu.
The Foundation Establishment stage seeded players are fiercely battling it out on the stage, drawing gasps of amazement from the audience.
In a corner of the back row.
An ordinary-looking girl in gray was taking small bites of a steamed bun, her cheeks slightly bulging.
Sitting next to her was an equally unremarkable young man in gray.
He had just swallowed the last bite of the steamed bun with satisfaction, and smacked his lips as if savoring the memory.
Then, he took out a few meat buns from the storage bag at his waist and began to eat them.
The unique aroma of the steamed buns made everyone swallow hard.
Several cultivators couldn't help but glance at him frequently.
Finally, a young cultivator who was nearby and dressed in the Sun family's robes couldn't resist any longer. He took two steps closer and asked the gray-robed youth:
"This... fellow Daoist?"
He stared intently at the steamed bun in the young man's hand: "Excuse me, but may I ask which shop you and your brother bought these steamed buns from?"
"This fragrance... is so alluring."
Upon hearing this, the young man in gray took another big bite of his steamed bun. The filling juices almost spilled from the corners of my mouth.
He chewed and mumbled, "Oh, this? I don't know which shop I bought it from."
"Huh?" The Sun family cultivator was taken aback.
Chen Xu slowly swallowed the food in his mouth before continuing:
"I met a strange old man on the way who insisted on giving me some, saying that he was planning to open a restaurant in Qinglan City and wanted me to try the food and give him my opinion."
"A restaurant?" The Sun family cultivator's eyes lit up as he pressed for an answer.
"Do you remember the name of that restaurant?"
Chen Xu scratched his head, saying uncertainly, "I think it's called... Spirit Cuisine Restaurant?"
"Spiritual Cuisine Restaurant?" The Sun family cultivator repeated in a low voice, secretly memorizing the name.
Many people around also showed expressions of understanding and anticipation, thinking that after the competition ended, they would definitely go and find out where the newly opened restaurant was.
Seeing this, the girl in gray smiled and secretly transmitted her voice to the young man:
"Senior brother, this publicity is so natural. It seems that even the cultivators of Qinglan City can't resist Little Jin's skills."
A mischievous glint flashed in her eyes, and her voice transmission carried a light and cheerful tone.
These young man and woman were none other than Chen Xu and Qing Ling, who had changed their appearances.
Xiao Jin's cultivation has been progressing towards the Foundation Establishment stage for some time now.
With the increased efficiency of stir-frying and the resulting overcapacity, Chen Xu began to consider opening a branch.
This Qinglan City is comparable in size to Wutan City, and regardless of the type of shop you open, you can buy out the profit rights.
Chen Xu then decisively bought a shop and planned to open his business there after some renovations.
Since there's shared storage space available, we can just leave a pay-to-win clone here to serve the food.
