Fu Xian took a small pill from his spatial bag, a late-stage foundation-building cultivation pill. After he had reached the peak, he didn’t need it anymore. Since it was left over, he couldn’t sell it and just kept it in his bag.
Eating it, he felt a slight tingling sensation.
The effect... it was too low to be measured in numbers.
"Based on my usual digestion speed, this would take me an hour to absorb now," in the foundation-building stage, it took him several days.
He then activated the Natural Flame talisman in his middle dantian.
Previously, it was in a state of passive enhancement, but since his cultivation was so much higher than the talisman, he had to use the full-power mode to have an effect.
Right away, he felt a bit of a difference.
In the end, he allowed this situation to continue for a few minutes before he realised, "It only speeds up my refinement of them by 3 minutes? That’s... 5%?
Hmm, with so many levels of reduction, from Qi Refining to Foundation-Building and finally to Origin Light, it’s quite remarkable for being able to still speed up my digestion by so much.
Based on this, it can be seen that creation treasures are truly unique. Even if a prototype is so much lower than my cultivation, it can still boost it.
Since that’s the case, I wonder how strong it is for Qi Refining cultivators?"
"Ye Long!" he called again.
Since he became a master, he slowly understood his previous life’s parents’ behaviour. They called him for every little, small matter, annoying him endless times. Now he could feel sympathy with them...
Ye Long came running before bowing to his master, "Master, what can I do for you?"
"Ah Ye Long, come here, don’t be so formal and bow to me every time. We’re at home, who else is here but us? Just relax."
Fu Xian smiled as he patted Ye Long’s head before taking out something from his sleeves.
Revealing it to Ye Long, he asked, "Do you know what this is?"
Ye Long looked at it and saw the moving flame, falling into a reverie for a moment. Then he shook his head, "No, Master, I’ve never seen this kind of talisman. Is it a visual talisman?"
"Visual talisman? Hmm, well, looking at it this way, it does indeed resemble a visual talisman.
But no, it’s not a visual talisman.
This is the Creation Spirit Weapon—Natural Flame Talisman!"
"Creation Spirit Weapon?!" Ye Long exclaimed in shock.
His father was already a Spiritual Core expert, which was why he had heard of this matter.
Looking at the talisman in front of him, he looked again at his master in shock, "Master, did you create this?"
"You can say this. Well, to you it might seem interesting, but to me it’s just an experiment. I can’t do much with it right now, so I’m giving this to you.
The Natural Flame Talisman boosts your health and digestive system when eating consumable spiritual materials.
In addition, it can also refine their residual medical power in your body and purify it.
Here, let me put it into your dantian."
As a Qi Refining cultivator, usually one couldn’t open their dantian and allow foreign objects to enter.
But with Fu Xian’s Origin Light cultivation, he could easily allow the talisman to enter.
It instantly hovered in the centre of Ye Long’s dantian.
The flaming pattern became stronger as it refined the spiritual power.
Looking at it, Fu Xian used his residual spiritual power and pushed it towards peak performance.
While the passive performance was already extremely strong, in just a moment, the peak performance re-refined one of the Qi bowls of Ye Long!
In the Qi Refining stage, the cultivation is usually split into four bowls:
Early stage is the first bowl, which can contain 10% of the total spiritual power capacity of the dantian. After filling it, the spiritual power has to overcome the hurdle of the bowl’s edge and fall into the second bowl, the mid stage, which can contain 30% of the spiritual power. The same cycle is repeated until the late stage, where 57% of the spiritual power can be contained.
Finally, the three bowls are full. But at the bottom below these, enclosed and smaller, the last 3% are the peak stage. One has to drill a hole from the first to the third bowl with the spiritual power, an extremely thin hole where only a very small amount of spiritual power can seep through.
Finally, when it reached the smallest fourth bowl and filled it, fully filled, one has reached the limit of Qi Refining.
Just now, the natural flame only took a short moment to refine the small fourth bowl that was about to be filled!
Then, the third bowl was re-refined, most of the spiritual power rising up.
Another time it happened and the second bowl was emptied.
Finally, the first bowl, too, was re-refined!
This re-refining condensed the gaseous spiritual power and finally, the nearly 100% spiritual power fill was reduced to only 9%, the Third Stage of Qi Refining, still a bit away from the peak!
Ye Long, who felt this process, looked at his master in shock!
All the spiritual power he had meticulously cultivated disappeared just like that!
Fu Xian smiled, "Don’t worry, your foundation is still there. With each breakthrough, you refine your Qi bowls to be able to allow the gaseous spiritual power to overflow, which is still the case. There is even an opening right to the bottom.
According to the situation, when you finish filling one bowl, one percent will seep to the bottom bowl.
By the time you filled the three bowls, the fourth bowl will automatically be filled.
The difficulty of filling the peak stage to the limit will disappear!
And now, with this talisman, you can freely drink potions, eat pills, spiritual food, or anything else you like without having to worry about digesting them!"
Fu Xian smiled.
He did this because at the end, he asked his talisman and it told him that if he wished to copy this Innate Talisman, it would cost him 10x the price of sending this talisman into reincarnation, which meant it cost him 100% origin.
Thinking about it, it didn’t help him right now. By the time his disciple advanced, it would still be too weak for him, even if he combined it with others.
Finally, when it reaches his stage, he could try to copy it and give his disciple a copy.
This kind of Creation Treasure was one that he didn’t bind to become his Innate Creation Talisman, and since his disciple didn’t create it, he couldn’t bind it. In the end, it would only become an auxiliary tool.
Who knows whether others would spend so many resources creating Auxiliary Creation Treasures?
He, in all honesty, wouldn’t do it if it weren’t for the fact that only some recoverable resource was used.
Initially, he also thought about copying these talismans for his clones... but he couldn’t even reach them, how could he give it to them?
