Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2506: Chapter 921: Talisman Making Skill, Yan Fu Holy Mountain

Once he decided to enter the Dao through talismans, Luo Chen began working tirelessly, ceaselessly.

He had dabbled in the art of talisman making.

During his time in Baili Qingchuan, he was bored, thinking of enhancing his Divine Consciousness, and also wanted to craft something life-saving for his sect disciples, so he began crafting talismans in large quantities.

From First Order to Second Order, and eventually to Third Order talismans, he was able to craft them all.

Nevertheless, compared to the ease with which he crafted First and Second Order talismans, drawing Third Order talismans was slightly more difficult.

It wasn’t that Luo Chen was lacking, but rather that too much warfare later prevented him from fully committing to this path.

Now that he had some free time, Luo Chen devoted himself wholly to it.

He did not lack the raw materials needed for talisman making.

Besides the stable relationship between the Shen Fu Sect and the Luotian Sect, just the batch of beast skins that the Luotian Sect accumulated during the hundred-year Human-Demon War was enough for Luo Chen to squander.

Soon, Luo Chen picked up the talisman making skill again.

This time, unlike crafting all sorts of talismans previously, Luo Chen focused solely on fire attribute talismans.

First, he warmed up with First Order Fireball Technique and Second Order Fierce Sun Technique, then Luo Chen began mass producing talismans related to Third Order Fire Type Techniques.

The Qingyang’s Great Handprint, his specialty!

Then he focused on techniques he learned before but didn’t care much about, like Blast Flame Wave, Fire Snake Dance, Blazing Heaven Sevenfold Rings...

Time slowly passed, and without interruption, Luo Chen’s progress was swift.

Within less than a year, he had become adept at crafting Third Order talismans, mastering them without difficulty.

Such smooth progress was also related to Luo Chen’s initial understanding.

The so-called art of talisman making tests raw materials, mastery of techniques, and most importantly, cultivator’s Mana and Divine Soul.

In these aspects, Luo Chen had no shortcomings, with only proficiency needing improvement.

However, in the second year when Luo Chen tried to draw Fourth Order Fire Type Techniques into talismans, he encountered a bottleneck.

No matter how he paid attention, he often failed right at the verge of success.

After consecutive failures, Luo Chen paused his futile efforts.

”What is going wrong?”

”Whether it is my proficiency with techniques, or the thickness of my Qi Power, or the strength of my Divine Soul, everything should theoretically meet the requirements.”

”Could it be a problem with the raw materials?”

Luo Chen looked at the numerous beast skin talisman papers in front of him, the highest level only being talisman paper made from Third-Order Demon King beast skin.

If there was a real issue, it would be in this aspect.

Luo Chen did not close his mind to possibilities; he immediately used Divine Consciousness Voice Transmission to summon Jueqing Fairy.

...

”Greetings, Supreme Elder!”

Unlike the ashamed and annoyed demeanor Jueqing Fairy had last time when she left, now she returned to her icy demeanor.

Even her address to Luo Chen had changed from the earlier unfamiliar ”True Master” to the title often used by Luotian Sect disciples: ”Supreme Elder.”

Luo Chen understood the nature of this change; recalling from Cang Long’s memory, she was not inherently cold but had some experiences that froze her passionate heart.

At this moment, Luo Chen was in no position to pay attention to Jueqing Fairy’s psychological state and straightforwardly asked about the issue he encountered.

Within the Luotian Sect, if anyone had the highest attainment in talisman making, besides Luo Chen himself, it would undoubtedly be Jueqing Fairy.

Whether seen in dreams or observed from the techniques revealed by her early on, her talismanic techniques far exceed those of ordinary talisman cultivators, even comparable to some strong individuals in the Shen Fu Sect.

As expected!

After Luo Chen raised the question, Jueqing Fairy pondered for a moment and gave her answer.

”It should be as you suspected; the level of the talisman raw materials is too low, preventing the successful crafting of Fourth-Order talismans.”

After speaking, Jueqing Fairy looked at Luo Chen in astonishment; when had this Master of the Dao of Alchemy become so skilled in talismans?

She knew Luo Chen could make talismans.

After all, he was in the Luotian Sect for so many years, even if he hadn’t used them himself, he saw Luotian Sect’s lower order disciples use talismans drawn by Luo Chen.

Especially Qu Jiu, son of Qu Lingjun, who is rumored to have received guidance from Luo Chen in talisman making and made rapid progress.

But from Jueqing Fairy’s perspective, although Luo Chen’s talismans were excellent, they were too low in order to be considered grand.

Yet now, he casually proposed the crafting of Third and Fourth Order talismans.

Could there truly be a genius in the arts of immortal cultivation, skilled in a hundred techniques without exception?

After receiving the answer, Luo Chen’s own speculation was confirmed, determining the root of the issue.

”Could it be that Fourth-Order talismans must be crafted with Fourth-Order talisman paper?”

Jueqing Fairy nodded slightly, ”The principle is quite simple here; when the Supreme Elder performs a powerful Fourth-Order technique, can a Third-Order Demon King possibly withstand it?”

Luo Chen shook his head, of course, that is impossible.

Therefore, powerful techniques must be carried by equally powerful raw materials to be preserved and utilized as talismans capable of being activated at any time.

Luo Chen furrowed his brow slightly.

”But there are very few Fourth-Order talisman papers in the Luotian Sect now!”

Due to the century-long Human-Demon War, most circulating in the market now were talisman papers made from beast skins.

Fourth-Order talisman papers, no matter how deftly they were crafted, require tanning with the hides of Fourth-Order Demon Emperors.

But where can we find so many fallen Fourth-Order Demon Emperors, even crafted into talisman papers?

All Fourth-Order Demon Emperors are incredibly powerful beings.
