Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood

"I..." Fu Qiu scratched his head in slight embarrassment before he sighed softly and said in a low voice, "Alright, I’ll tell the truth. I’ve come to you, Brother Luo, because there is indeed something I need to ask of you..."

After hearing this,

Luo Changfeng then picked up the cup of hot tea from the stone table once again.

While sipping it, he asked in a low voice.

"What is it?"

Fu Qiu smiled faintly, easing his slightly awkward mood, "It’s about the Shadowstones; our reserves are a bit low. Apart from the Shadowstones, the disciples in the sub-sect have been requesting lately for me to stock more offensive and defensive talismans. By doing so, our Alchemists can have better protection when they go outside..."

"Is that so?"

Luo Changfeng smacked his lips.

After pondering for a moment, he said softly, "If we’re running low on Shadowstone reserves, that’s easy to resolve. But the issue of not having enough talismans... that seems a bit more difficult to solve."

After all, Shadowstones can be reused.

But those talismans are one-time consumables.

Once used, they’re gone.

Moreover, for Luo Changfeng right now, the most important thing is to raise his cultivation level and his Heart Realm as much as possible.

If he spent all his time crafting talismans,

Wouldn’t that be putting the cart before the horse?

...

Underneath the Stone Pavilion,

The silence gradually stretched between Luo Changfeng and Fu Qiu.

Just as Fu Qiu thought the matter with the talismans wouldn’t work out,

Luo Changfeng suddenly raised his head and asked in a low voice, "By the way, do we have any disciples in the sub-sect with a good talent for talisman crafting?"

Fu Qiu looked up, somewhat puzzled,

and watched Luo Changfeng in silence.

He didn’t quite understand why Brother Luo would ask such a question.

However, not understanding didn’t mean he wouldn’t answer.

"There should be..."

Fu Qiu spoke tentatively.

In his memory, within the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect, there seemed to be a few Alchemists with a particular interest in talisman crafting.

The problem was the lack of a formal talisman heritage,

which meant that those in the sub-sect could only explore bit by bit based on their own passion.

"Really? There are such people?"

A flash of surprise crossed Luo Changfeng’s eyes.

He had asked casually,

but to his surprise, there really were such individuals.

However, if that was truly the case...

Then things would be much easier.

"Let’s do this. You’ll establish a group within the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect that specializes in crafting talismans," Discover hidden stories at empire

"Gather those with decent talent for talisman crafting all together,"

"I’ll use the Shadowstone to record some images of talisman crafting,"

"Later, I’ll also get some books related to talisman crafting."

"That should pretty much do it," Luo Changfeng said calmly beneath the Stone Pavilion.

And hearing Luo Changfeng’s words,

Fu Qiu’s face was filled with question marks.

"Ah?"

"Can we really do it this way?"

"Brother Luo, this is a sub-sect of the Wan Dan Sect we’re talking about..."

Fu Qiu frowned slightly as he said in a low voice.

"What’s wrong with the sub-sect of the Wan Dan Sect? Can it not study talisman crafting?" Luo Changfeng spoke casually.

"But..."

Fu Qiu seemed to want to say something more, but Luo Changfeng cut him off, "Alright, just do as I said. If this works out, our Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect might find another source of Spirit Stone income similar to the Shadowstones. These are Spirit Stones after all..."

At this point, Fu Qiu fell silent.

Brother Luo was indeed right in what he said.

What’s wrong with the sub-sect of the Wan Dan Sect?

Can it not craft talismans?

Of course, what moved him the most,

It wasn’t these words.

Instead, it was what Brother Luo last said—if this matter could be successful, then rune creation might very well become a channel of income similar to the Spirit Stone of Memory.

As for Spirit Stones, who would ever complain about having too many?

"Alright, since Brother Luo has said so, then I will give it a try..."

"As for whether it can succeed, I can’t make any promises."

Fu Qiu said with a touch of uncertainty.

"Besides this matter, is there anything else?"

After a moment of silence, Luo Changfeng asked again.

"Uh..."

"There should be nothing else."

Fu Qiu answered in a low voice.

Thinking it over, Luo Changfeng then asked, "So, how is the situation among the sub-sects of the Wan Dan Sect within the Da Feng Dynasty nowadays?"

As Luo Changfeng broached this topic,

Fu Qiu, the Deputy Sect Master of the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect, suddenly became enthusiastic.

"At present, among the thirteen prefectures of the Da Feng Dynasty, counting our Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect, only four sub-sects remain."

"Among them, the vast majority of the sub-sects have chosen to join our Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect."

"Aside from our Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect, the other three are still struggling to hold on."

"But it looks like they won’t be able to last much longer."

"Apart from those still holding on, and those who joined us, two sub-sects left with quite a few Alchemists, abandoning the Da Feng Dynasty. It’s unclear whether those who left plan to establish a new area and set up a new sub-sect of the Wan Dan Sect or join sub-sects of the Wan Dan Sect in other regions. In any case, these matters no longer concern us..."

Luo Changfeng silently nodded his head, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What about the Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect, once known as the sacred land of Alchemists in the Da Feng Dynasty?"

"Has the Sect Master of the Changqing Sub-sect still not appeared?"

After thinking it through, Fu Qiu replied softly, "The Sect Master of the Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect, ever since they lost to our Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect, has never appeared again. I believe that under the circumstances, they must have left the Da Feng Dynasty and will not return..."

...

The leisurely conversation between the two lasted for half an hour.

"Come find me in three days,"

"By then I will have prepared the items for you."

Underneath the Stone Pavilion,

Luo Changfeng looked at Fu Qiu in front of him, speaking in a low voice.

"Okay."

Fu Qiu silently nodded and then stood up, ready to leave the Luo Family Ancestral Land, when

his gaze was suddenly captivated by a completely black,

mysterious bird-like beast with purple-gold pupils.

"Hey, what is that?" n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Fu Qiu glanced at the black feathered creature playing by itself in the distance, squinting his eyes slightly.

His instinct was telling him

that the pitch-black, mysterious bird-like beast with purple-gold pupils was definitely not a simple creature.

"That guy?"

Luo Changfeng pointed to the black feathered creature tilting its head nearby, seemingly in thought.

He smiled, then whispered, "I also don’t know what species that bird-like beast is; I found it in a secret realm space..."

Listenting to these words, Fu Qiu silently stepped closer to the creature.

The curious black feathered beast,

seems to have sensed their gazes,

so it flapped its wings laboriously and landed directly on Luo Changfeng’s shoulder.

It still tilted its head, those purple-gold pupils,

quietly observing Fu Qiu.

As it watched, it even opened its mouth and called out a few times toward Fu Qiu.

It seemed to be saying, what are you looking at?

You old thing, what are you looking at?

Even, to add some intimidation, the creature covered itself with purple-gold flames from within.

[Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...]

The sound of flames burning grew steadily louder.

The intense heat also gradually caused the space around it to warp slightly.

"Yellow Grade top-quality Beast Fire?"

"This beast..."

"It’s not simple at all!"

Under the Stone Pavilion, Fu Qiu watched the black feathered beast before him.

After a long silence, he couldn’t help but utter these words.
