The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2409: Chapter 2409

Carson Flores grumbled under his breath, but in his heart, he didn’t underestimate this Divine Sutra at all.

The Heart Demon is one of the greatest enemies of cultivators, even a powerful being like The Wither-Bloom Sage can’t escape its affliction. Therefore, a Divine Sutra capable of resisting the Heart Demon is incredibly precious.

”Why did he voluntarily give me the Divine Sutra?”

Floating Cloud chuckled and said, ”He said you have a destiny with Dharma; perhaps he’s trying to recruit you into Buddhism.”

Carson Flores laughed, ”Buddhism values the purity of the six senses and detachment from worldly thoughts. Look at me, with so many wives, do I seem like someone pure of six senses?”

Floating Cloud laughed heartily, ”Exactly, so I never worried about it. If he wants to give it to you, just take it. Besides, some Buddhist scriptures are very effective at focusing the mind...”

Carson Flores thanked him, ”Thank you, Master. What’s next in your plan?”

Floating Cloud replied, ”I’ll be staying on Moon God Island for the next few years. Once the first branch is established, I’ll be free.”

Carson Flores pondered, ”And what about me?”

Floating Cloud looked at Carson and smiled, ”With your personality, you wouldn’t want to retreat to Dragon Cloud Mountain to cultivate, right?”

Carson Flores chuckled, ”I’ve settled in North Sea; unless there’s a reason, I wouldn’t want to leave home.”

Floating Cloud nodded, ”Once the branch is established, you can take a nominal position. For now, just follow me, and I can teach you some things from the Dragon Mountain Sect...”

Carson Flores’ eyes lit up, ”Great, what can I learn?”

Floating Cloud answered, ”Traditionally, besides their main cultivation, each disciple can choose an auxiliary subject. Our Dragon Mountain Sect emphasizes practical skills. Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Medical Practice, Cultivation of plants, Talisman crafting, Formation, etc., have reached a high level. You can choose one to major in, and if you have the energy, you can study more, but it’s usually not recommended.”

Carson Flores laughed, ”Master, why didn’t you mention Divination?”

Floating Cloud shook his head, ”I wouldn’t recommend it. Discovering heaven’s secrets always comes at a price. I’ve studied it for a long time, but I dare not use it freely. You should learn something else.”

Carson Flores answered without hesitation, ”Talismans.”

Carson Flores has a considerable prowess in Alchemy. Although in the High Immortal Realm, the types of elixirs have expanded significantly, he can’t claim to refine them all, but it’s basically adequate for him.

As for Artifact Refining?

Not really necessary, especially since Delarosa is skilled in Artifact Refining. The Thunder Ox Drum, Nebula Sword, etc., were all refined with her help, right?

Formation is good, but Carson Flores has an Array Master, Ben Singleton, close by, so no hurry to learn it.

Talismans have numerous functions and great power. Once successfully crafted, they only require a minimal amount of spiritual power to unleash immense might, providing cultivators with additional combat support.

Previously, Evan Foster, the Junior Sect Master of the Treasure Path Sect, relied on a heap of talismans to withstand opponents much stronger than himself, escaping repeatedly, leaving everyone helpless against him.

Floating Cloud nodded: ”How much do you know about talismans?”

Carson Flores pondered for a moment and replied, ”Talismans store spiritual power in a given medium according to specific rules. When used, the medium is destroyed, and the stored spiritual power is released according to those rules, achieving a specific effect.”

”Take fire talismans, for instance; they store spiritual power in the talisman paper, leaving flame spell runes on it. When the paper is destroyed, it’s like releasing the flame spell, creating fire out of thin air.”

Floating Cloud stroked his beard and chuckled, ”That’s roughly the idea. The power of a talisman is determined by several factors: first, the strength of the talisman-maker, and second, the quality of the medium.”

”The strength of the talisman-maker divides into two aspects: first, the maker’s cultivation strength, which influences how much spiritual power they can inject into making the talisman; second, the maker’s skill level in crafting talismans. Higher skill levels can create stronger talisman rules.”

”Various factors ultimately determine the power of a talisman. The path of talismans, at its depths, can reach the point where an area of space becomes the medium. With a simple gesture, one can use their power to draw in nature’s spiritual energy, ultimately achieving the terrifying effect of Heaven and Earth Talisman.”

”Reaching this realm, for a talisman-maker to kill someone becomes very simple, for you’re not facing just the talisman-maker, but also the world around.”

Carson Flores’ eyes shone; such scenes are enchanting just to imagine.

”Master, you chose talisman-making, surely you’ve reached such a realm, right?”

Floating Cloud stroked his beard, ”In that one battle before, I used Heaven and Earth Talisman multiple times, my opponent spent a lot of spiritual power and got injured. Without that, even if I used Dragon Mountain Secret Art, I might not have defeated him...”

Carson Flores looked regretful: ”I was dreaming back then, missing the chance to see it.”

Floating Cloud caught a Jade Slip with a hand and tossed it over.

”This is the entry-level for talismans; take a look, you’ll have plenty of chances to watch me use talismans in the future...”
