After three years of practicing the sword, time flew by. Su Murong and the other six had already practiced the sword technique taught by Qing Tian to an extremely proficient level. In addition, they had continuously absorbed the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the past three years. Moreover, they were still young, so there were few impurities in their meridians. Their meridians had all been connected. Therefore, although they were young, their strength and endurance far exceeded that of their peers. At the same time, they practiced the Shangqing Sword Scripture every night, and their lower dantian was becoming more and more abundant. As a result, when they practiced the sword these days, there was a clear light lingering on their bamboo swords.
Cang Yun couldn't practice sword scriptures, so he read books every day and studied the [Spiritual Talisman Record]. He finally understood the principle of mutual promotion and restriction, and even used a few ordinary spiritual talismans skillfully. It was just that the spiritual talisman had to be prepared in advance every time and used up. Cang Yun himself was powerless. If he wanted to cultivate to the realm of drawing talismans in the air and walk the path of sensing heaven and earth, he did not know how long it would take to cultivate. However, he practiced swordsmanship every day, so his physical fitness was not bad.
Qing Tian and the other four Taoist priests were not idle either. They instilled all kinds of knowledge into their disciples. Although Qingtian was a bishop and Qinglan and the others were teaching assistants, they still came out to teach occasionally.
Today was the day when the lessons of the Azure Sky School started three years ago. It was also the day when the three-year sword practice period was up.
It was still the back mountain. His seven disciples were all there, and his four masters had also come out. Today was the day to check the results of his disciples 'cultivation. If they were satisfied, it was also the time to start the next step of teaching.
Qing Tian was the first to speak." Today, I and your three masters will inspect your cultivation results.”
"Master, aren't you always watching us?" Ping Jian jumped out first. Don't you know what level we've cultivated to? Why are you still checking?"
Qing Tian's face darkened." You've been practicing swordsmanship for three years now. Do you think you're thick-skinned?" It seems that I have to be ruthless before you can feel the pain, right?”
Ping Jian immediately jumped back into the team. The power that Qing Tian had built with his swordsmanship back then could not withstand the passage of time. It did not take long for his disciples to return to their original state, causing Qing Tian to be sad for a long time.
Seeing that he had intimidated his disciples, Qing Tian suddenly realized that a hard fist was the absolute truth. He said,""You guys practice the sword technique I taught you first. Murong, you go first.”
Amidst the warm applause, Su Murong walked out of the formation and got into position. His sword moves moved like flowing water. Every move was fair and peaceful. The bamboo sword was surrounded by clear light, and all the junior brothers and sisters cheered. When it was time to stop, Su Murong asked,"Masters, did I make a mistake?"”
" Very good," Qing Lan stroked her beard." Very good, haha!"”
Su Murong smiled and put away his sword. Murong Su raised his sword and went forward to attack.
After that, every disciple went forward to practice their sword skills. Their styles were similar to three years ago, but their skills were much more profound. Murong Su's sword skills were more lingering, and his flat sword was more agile, sometimes giving people the illusion of shifting their bodies and shadows. Zhu Xue and Vermillion Bird's continuous strange sword skills, coupled with their faces, had an even more mesmerizing effect. Of course, this was also the result of Qing Tian not restricting their development. He only allowed them to follow the sword as they wished to find their own sword intent.
The four old Daoists were quite satisfied after seeing their six disciples finish their demonstration. As the master, Qing Tian was even more pleased with himself and laughed strangely.
Finally, Cang Yun stepped forward.
As for Cang Yun, whether it was Qing Tian and the other four masters or Su Murong and the other senior and junior brothers, they were all looking forward to it. Usually, Cang Yun practiced the sword with his fellow disciples during the day and studied the Spiritual Talisman Record at night. Su Murong and the others had to practice the sword scripture at night and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their dantian. They had no time to talk and did not understand each other's cultivation. During the day, although Cang Yun had explained it to his senior brothers, the three senior brothers did not understand. They asked Cang Yun to draw two talismans, but Cang Yun could not draw them. The reason was that Cang Yun had only focused on reading in his first year, and his progress in the [Spiritual Talisman Record] was very small. In the second year, Cang Yun spent all his time studying the principles of Yin and Yang and the five elements mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, as well as the various ways to use spiritual talismans. In fact, this part of the content was not complicated, but unfortunately, the Spiritual Talisman Record was for the disciples of the Spirit Cloud Heavenly Palace to practice. Most of the language was a code language, which was difficult to understand. Cang Yun worked hard with a few masters for a long time before he understood. In the third year, Cang Yun began to memorize the specific contents of the talisman, and only then did he enter the practical stage.
Therefore, Cang Yun decided to wait for three years before demonstrating to others. Moreover, Su Murong and the others practiced the sword all day and were very tired at night. Moreover, Cang Yun intentionally kept it a secret, so his fellow disciples really could not figure out his Talisman Dao cultivation. Qing Tian and the other masters were not familiar with the Dao of Spiritual Talismans, and most of the time, they left it to Cang Yun to study alone.
Cang Yun walked out of the formation. His chest was bulging, and it seemed like he was carrying quite a number of spiritual talismans.
"Fifth Senior Brother, please explain to us the spirit talismans first."”
Cang Yun replied,"No problem." Cang Yun was also excited. After all, it was his first time.
Qing Tian and the others were also interested and said,"Cang Yun, yes, tell us about it too."”
Cang Yun was even more excited,"Yes."”As he spoke, he took out a talisman and said,"Spiritual talismans are generally divided into a talisman head, a talisman body, a talisman gallbladder, and a talisman leg. The head of the talisman was the orientation of the spiritual power of the talisman, the body of the talisman was the name of the god, the gallbladder of the talisman was the thing that was required, and the feet of the talisman were the ones that controlled the range and power of the talisman. Look at the Vajra Talisman in my hand." Everyone's eyes were focused on the talisman in Cang Yun's hand. Cang Yun pointed at the three circles at the top of the talisman and said,"This is the symbol of the Three Pure Ones, which means that this talisman is borrowing the power of the clear air. Below it is written the Mighty Miracle God, which means that this talisman is borrowing the power of the Mighty Miracle God. Below it are the words 'Vajra's Great Power', which is the power I want to borrow."This is the meaning of four incense sticks." Then, Cang Yun held the talisman between his fingers and muttered something. He pressed the talisman against his chest, and Cang Yun's thin body instantly gave people a sense of strength.
Su Murong and the other disciples did not feel anything, but Qing Tian and the other old Daoists keenly felt the moment Cang Yun stuck the talisman on his body, the Qi of Heaven and Earth fluctuated.
Under the astonished gazes of his fellow disciples, Cang Yun smiled confidently and walked towards a tree that was as thick as a child's arms. Spreading his arms, he hugged the tree and tightened his grip. The veins on his arms bulged as he exerted strength under his feet and shouted,"Rise." The big tree immediately let out a creaking sound, and its roots emerged from the ground one by one. Countless tree leaves were shaken off, and Cang Yun's senior brothers and sisters were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out.
The tree rose by an inch. Cang Yun relaxed his arms and turned around to say to everyone,"It's too heavy. I can't pull it out."
His words almost knocked down a large group of people.
Looking at the Vajra Talisman on Cang Yun's chest, it was just a piece of yellow paper. The runes on it had disappeared.
Cang Yun explained,"The Vajra Talisman can increase one's strength for the time it takes for four incense sticks to burn. However, if it exceeds the range of the talisman's ability, the talisman will lose its effectiveness."”
Qing Tian felt relieved and said," It's also very magical. Otherwise, with your strength, you wouldn't be able to shake this tree. Cang Yun, you didn't read the Spiritual Talisman Record in vain."”The happiest was still Qing Jian. After all, he was the one who had brought the《Spiritual Talisman Record》.
After seeing the Vajra Amulet, everyone became even more interested. Qing Tian asked,""Cang Yun, do you have any more talismans?”
Cang Yun took out another one and looked at it. He walked in front of Qing Tian and said,""First Master, reach out your hand."
Qing Tian stretched out a hand, and Cang Yun placed the talisman in Qing Tian's hand.
"What talisman is this?" asked Qing Tian.”
"Fire Talisman," Cang Yun said.
"What fire talisman?" asked Qing Tian.
Cang Yun jumped back a step and pinched his fingers, saying,"Fire!"
With a bang, a large ball of flame burst out from Qing Tian's hand. Qing Tian screamed and rolled on the ground. Qing Lan, Qing Yi, and Qing Jian saw this and once again exploded with their friendship as fellow disciples. The power of Cang Yun's fire talisman this time was more than ten times greater than the fire talisman he learned from the《Introduction to Spiritual Talismans》. When Qing Tian got up, his face was dark.
Cang Yun saw his master stand up and said,"First Master, this is a Divine Fire Talisman that borrows Zhurong's power. What do you think of its power?”
With a thud, Cang Yun hugged his head and cried bitterly.
Ping Jian stepped forward and touched the size of the bump on Cang Yun's head, saying,"It seems that the power of the Divine Fire Talisman is not bad."
"Cang Yun, what other talismans do you have?" Qing Yi asked.”
"There's also the lightning talisman. Third Master, stretch out your hand."”
"You!"
"Let's not talk about offensive talismans. Are there any other talismans?" Qing Lan asked.”
"There are also blessing talismans, luck changing talismans, suppression talismans, concealment talismans, protective talismans, and so on. There are also unclassified ones."”
"Cang Yun, you're already so powerful, yet you know how to use so many talismans.”
"I've only read the names of these talismans, I don't know how to use them yet." To use a spiritual talisman, one had to first fast and then communicate with the spirit. Only after success could one use it.”
"Then what talismans can you use?" Second Senior Sister asked.”
"Right now, we can only use Vajra Talismans, Fire Talismans, Thunder Talismans, Corpse Sealing Talismans, and some simple Blessing Talismans."”
Ping Qing heard Cang Yun mention many names and said in surprise,"Junior brother, you can still set corpses? Isn't that more powerful than us!"
Cang Yun said," The same type of spiritual talisman is also divided into levels. For example, there are the Vajra Talisman, the Great Strength Vajra Talisman, the Divine Strength Vajra Talisman, the Ten Thousand Spirit Vajra Talisman, and finally the legendary Supreme Jade Pure Vajra Talisman. Although I can only draw the Corpse Locking Talisman now, it can only lock small zombies.”
"Junior Brother, you really know a lot now," said Eldest Senior Brother Su Murong.”
"This is all written in the preface of the [Spiritual Talisman Record]." It also said that cultivators should focus on the four spiritual talismans of suppression, protection, spirit, and attack. Blessing, changing luck, and connecting to the gods were just minor paths. Cultivators were originally going against the heavens, so blessing and changing luck were useless to cultivators. Moreover, cultivators wanted to become gods or demons themselves, so what was the use of connecting to the gods? However, for ordinary people, praying for blessings was still helpful. Although it could not change their luck, it could still avoid minor illnesses, dog bites, sprained feet, and so on.”
"Yes, is that so? It's really a practical spell." Su Murong said.”
Cang Yun's face was slightly red as he said,"These are the original words in the《Spiritual Talisman Record》."”
When Qing Tian and the other old Daoists heard this, they were secretly delighted. This was the excitement of finding someone of the same path and a sense of belonging.
Zhu Xue and Vermilion Bird called out,"Fifth Senior Brother, pray for our Pure Sword Temple first."”As he spoke, he stared at Cang Yun with his big watery eyes. Cang Yun smiled and said,"No problem. However, his senior brothers wanted to help build a platform.“
"Sure," he said.
"No problem."
Even Su Murong was excited. Not long after, a simple and crude small platform was built. The four old Daoists smiled as they watched their disciples busy themselves.
Cang Yun burned the three talismans and even chanted to pray for the Pure Sword Temple and everyone. In the end, Cang Yun read aloud,"Blessing Descends."”
The beams of the main hall of the Clear Sword Temple collapsed.
