Chapter 77 - 77: Hidden Crisis Outbreak
[Congratulations, host. You have completed drawing ten Golden Armored Puppet Talismans in a row. You have obtained the method to create a mid-grade Level 2 Golden Armored Puppet Talisman.]
Hearing the system’s notification, Jiang Chengxuan immediately thought to himself, “I knew it.”
After drawing ten Golden Armor Puppet Talismans in a row, the system really rewarded him with the mid-grade Level 2 Golden Armor Puppet Talisman.
At that moment, he carefully studied the method to make the mid-grade Level 2 puppet.
He discovered that other than the Heavenly Spiritual Dew that was still necessary, the most important talisman material had already changed from the Extreme Yellow Jade to the Extreme Yellow Spiritual Jade.
The difference between the two was only one word.
However, their prices were worlds apart.
Before the news that the Extreme Yellow Jade was an important material for a Level 2 Talisman spread, the price of the Extreme Yellow Jade was about 1,000 spirit stones each.
However, the price of the Extreme Yellow Spiritual jade was 8,000 spirit stones. It was almost comparable to the price of a high-grade Level 2 defensive artifact.
Furthermore, the use of the Extreme Yellow Spiritual Jade was far greater than that of the Extreme Yellow Jade.
It seemed that he still had a long way to go if he wanted to obtain the high-grade Level 2 Golden Armor Puppet Talisman by drawing mid-grade Level 2 Golden Armor Puppet Talismans.
However, he had to admit that the mid-grade Level 2 Golden Armor Puppet Talisman was clearly much stronger than the low-grade Level 2 Golden Armor Puppet Talisman.
Not only was the combat strength of the puppet summoned comparable to a fifth level Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator,
Moreover, in terms of duration, it was far greater than the low-grade Level 2 golden-armored puppet. It lasted for half an hour.
The self-destruction power of the mid-grade Level 2 Golden Armor Puppet Talisman was enough to threaten a cultivator at the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
After that, Jiang Chengxuan continued his talisman-making business.
After a long time.
Jiang Chengxuan made another eight Golden Armor Puppet Talismans this time.
Compared to last time, his speed had clearly improved greatly.
Meanwhile, he did not neglect his cultivation during this period.
At this moment, his accumulation of cultivation at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm had already reached the limit.
Next, he only needed to consume a pill that could increase his cultivation level and he would have more than 50% confidence in breaking through to the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
In addition, he also obtained a death exemption token from Zheng Pelong.
Zheng Pelong’s magic power could help him block an attack from the Golden Core realm cultivator. At the same time, it could also help him block many attacks below the Gold Core realm.
Most importantly, the fact that he had this token said a lot.
Anyone with some brains would not make things difficult for Jiang Chengxuan after seeing this token.
Another few months passed.
When Jiang Chengxuan handed the five golden-armored puppet talismans to Ancestor Shen Yuanlong, he realized that Ancestor Shen Yuanlong’s expression was not good.
This puzzled Jiang Chengxuan and he couldn’t help but ask,
“Ancestor, did something happen?”
Shen Yuanlong hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
“I just received news that Zeyuan County has been breached by demon beasts.”
“What?”
Hearing this news from Shen Yuanlong, Jiang Chengxuan’s expression immediately changed.
He knew very well that the Zeyuan County that Shen Yuanlong was talking about was similar to the Flat Land County.
It was said that since the demon beast riot broke out, there were more Violet Palace Realm cultivators guarding there than in the Flat Land County. However, how could such a place be breached by demon beasts?
One had to know that there were hundreds of millions of mortals and cultivators who resided in Zeyuan County.
As if knowing what was on Jiang Chengxuan’s mind, Shen Yuanlong nodded with a solemn expression.
“You’re right. The hundreds of millions of mortals and cultivators in Zeyuan County have already become food for those demon beasts.
In this demon beast riot, they pretended to target Flat Land County and the other two counties.
However, in fact, their true target is Zeyuan County.”
“How come?”
Jiang Chengxuan suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
He really did not dare to imagine what would happen if the true target of those demon beasts was Flat Land County.
Would Flat Land County also become the second Zeyuan County?
No wonder after the first demon beast attack, Flat Land County hadn’t been harrassed by demon beasts.
At that time, they all thought that the demon beasts were planning a big move.
Unexpectedly, the target of their big move was not Flat Land County, but Zeyuan County.
“Ancestor, what’s the situation over there now?
Did the Ganyang Sect do anything?”
Jiang Chengxuan suddenly thought of these questions.
Zeyuan County was the territory of the human race. The Ganyang Sect would not just watch it fall into the hands of demon beasts, right?
It was impossible for them to not do anything, right?
Indeed.
Shen Yuanlong nodded.
“Currently, Supreme Elder Nangong and Supreme Elder Tianqi of the Ganyang Sect have already led the disciples to Zeyuan County.
Moreover, they are also transferring forces from other regions to Zeyuan County.
They even intended to mobilize our cultivators to help Zeyuan County, but it was rejected by Ancestor Mengxue.”
“Oh? Is that so?”
Jiang Chengxuan was a little surprised.
He knew that Ancestor Mengxue cultivated calculation techniques. Could it be that there was still some crisis hidden in Flat Land County?
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, he and Shen Yuanlong suddenly heard an urgent bell.
Accompanying it was a dazzling flame that soared into the sky.
“What is that ?”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Yuanlong’s expressions changed drastically.
“Not good! There’s a large-scale demon beast attack!”
At the same time, their communication jade talismans suddenly lit up.
The two of them realized the seriousness of the problem.
They did not dare to delay and immediately rushed out.
A moment later.
In the large Level 3 protective array.
Yun Dongshan looked at the densely packed demon beasts outside the array formation before turning to look at the people with an abnormally solemn expression.
“Everyone, I’m afraid the situation is out of control.
According to my observation just now, the number of demon beasts that came to attack Flat Land County is on par with the number of demon beasts that destroyed Zeyuan County.”
“How come?”
Everyone was puzzled when they heard Yun Dongshan’s words.
Tian Qin said in disbelief, “That’s not right. Their main force is clearly still in Zeyuan County. Why would a force of the same scale appear in Flat Land County?
This doesn’t make sense at all!”
