Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 179 Monster Soul Talisman

The reason why Taoist Liu asked whether Shang Liangshan's companion spiritual weapon had the power of the seventh grade was because he was shocked.

Shang Liangshan shook his head and said, "That's not the case."

"That's good, that's good, it's within the tolerable range." Taoist Priest Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

“…”Shang Liangshan, the old patriarch, legacy.

Why does this sound wrong?

"Seventy-seven-seven...Seventh-grade phantom thunder cloud!" Liu Yu jumped up from his chair and danced like a stimulated mental patient.

"Brother Yu, stay calm." Taoist Priest Liu and Yifeng said in unison.

"Swish" the old patriarch dodged and dragged Liu Yu to the ground, pinching his philtrum until he cried out in pain.

"That was a close call, that was a close call. I didn't go crazy because of the gain or loss." The old patriarch breathed a sigh of relief and let go of Liu Yu.

Liu Yu asked in bewilderment: "What happened just now?"

"It's nothing, it's just that your emotions fluctuated too much and your consciousness was deviated." Yifeng said tactfully.

"Too much emotional fluctuation?" Liu Yu fell into reminiscence.

The old patriarch was on guard nearby. If Liu Yu started to dance again, he would attack again and pin him down and strangle him.

Fortunately, Liu Yu's face only turned slightly red. After taking a deep breath, he calmed down and stood up to apologize.

"Brother Yu, the reason you are like this is because you have not yet come out of the catastrophe of life and death, and your desire for the protection of the strong has become your obsession." Taoist Priest Liu looked at Liu Yu and spoke out what was in his heart.

"Brother is right. I am too persistent." Liu Yu said and looked at Yifeng.

"Don't look at me. If you want to control the mechanical beast, you need to have the fourth-grade cultivation level." Yifeng spread his hands.

"If I break through to the fourth level, Brother Feng will sell the mechanical beast to us." Liu Yu's eyes were bright.

The way he behaves makes one doubt whether his recent madness was just an act.

"At most I can squeeze out a mechanical beast for you." Yifeng said this and expressed his doubts: "Logically speaking, your Huitong Trading Company should have mechanical beasts for sale."

"Yes." Liu Yu nodded. Seeing that there were no outsiders around, he said, "At present, the mechanical beasts circulating on the market all use Yuanling coins as energy. Their strength is average, and their kinetic energy is not satisfactory. They can't be compared with the mechanical beasts refined by Brother Xiaochao."

"So that's the case. What did you do with the monster's crystal?" Yifeng asked with a frown.

"This..." Liu Yu hesitated.

"It is mainly used to make pills and talismans for monster souls." Taoist Priest Liu answered for Liu Yu.

After he finished speaking, he took out a green talisman that was glowing with green light, and one could tell at a glance that it was not an ordinary thing. He injected spiritual power into it, and as the green light bloomed, a ferocious tiger appeared in the green light, with a terrifying aura and majestic power. It was about to roar to the sky, but was interrupted by the green light that retracted the sword.

This scene made the old patriarch and Yifeng jealous, and Shang Liangshan fell into deep thought.

Taoist Priest Liu put away the green talisman, took a sip of tea, and said, "This is the demon beast soul talisman. The primary one has five summons, the intermediate one has ten, the advanced one has fifty, and the top one has a hundred."

"It only counts once if the monster soul dies in battle. If it is seriously injured, it can be taken back into the monster soul talisman to be nurtured. The number of times remains the same."

"After each summoning, you need to wait for the spirit power of the monster soul talisman to recover, or for the monster soul to recover, before you can summon it again."

"Of course, a demon beast soul is still a demon beast soul after all. Its strength barely reaches level four, which is much weaker than the mechanical beast refined by Xiao Chao."

"The advantage is that if the demon beast soul dies in battle, it can still be summoned, but if the mechanical beast is damaged, it is really broken."

When the old patriarch and Yifeng heard this, their thoughts on the monster soul talisman were: a family heirloom.

Just imagine, if you have a fourth-level high-quality monster soul talisman passed down from generation to generation, it would be enough to keep your family safe.

Liu Yu agreed and said: "That's right, the Yuanling Coin takes the demon crystal and becomes the energy source of the mechanical beast."

"In addition to this, there is another important reason, which is that the demon beast souls are difficult to extract and the damage rate is extremely high."

"And if you want to use the demon crystal as the energy source of the mechanical beast, you have to extract the soul, otherwise the disease will follow you."

"For example, master devouring, self-destruction, etc."

Shang Liangshan heard this and looked at Taoist Liu and asked, "Is it difficult to extract the soul of a monster?"

Taoist Priest Liu seemed to have known that Shang Liangshan would ask such a question.

He spread his hands and said, "It may not be difficult for you, Liangshan, to extract the soul of the monster, but for other temple spirits, or for us, it is really difficult to extract the soul of the monster completely."

Shang Liangshan was somewhat surprised and unconvinced by this, because extracting the soul of a monster was as easy as drinking water.

"Can this demon beast soul talisman only be used by spiritual practitioners?" the old patriarch asked, grasping the key point.

"That's true. A third-grade spiritual practitioner can barely use a fourth-grade monster soul talisman." Taoist Priest Liu nodded.

"The price is quite expensive. A fourth-grade monster soul talisman costs 50,000 spirit coins." Liu Yu added.

“Why is it so expensive?” Yifeng was very puzzled, because the hunting team could still hunt and kill a fourth-level monster, so there should be no shortage of monster crystals.

Since there is no shortage of low-level demon crystals, low-level demon beast soul talismans should not be rare.

"Because it is difficult to refine, and it is a strategic material, it is rarely circulated." Taoist Priest Liu explained this, looked at Yifeng and smiled: "This seventh-level middle-grade tiger demon beast talisman of mine was rewarded by the sect thanks to Mo'er and Xiaohu."

"Brother Liu, I will be jealous if you say that." Yifeng said with a smile.

"Haha" Taoist Priest Liu laughed heartily upon hearing this.

At dawn, the cockcrows and all things come back to life. The military and civilians go to the Forgotten Temple to burn incense devoutly.

In the palace of the Huawai Taoist Temple, Shang Liangshan summoned out the Mountain and River Seal and fed it the Xuanhuang Stone.

The Xuanhuang Stone is as big as a fist, with yellow and gray colors all over, and is extremely heavy.

Shang Liangshan estimated the weight and found that the Xuanhuang Stone, which was as big as a fist, must weigh about three hundred pounds.

The Xuanhuang Stone fell on the Mountain and River Seal, as if it was dropped into water. It created ripples on the surface of the Mountain and River Seal before disappearing without a trace, and remained unchanged.

Shang Liangshan, who originally wanted to see the changes in feeding, suddenly lost interest. With a movement of his spiritual consciousness, the Xuanhuang Stone flew out from the space ring, forming a stone belt and sinking into the Mountain and River Seal.

Soon, hundreds of Xuanhuang stones were swallowed up by the Mountain and River Seal and disappeared into the ground.

Shang Liangshan put away his space ring and entered a state of cultivation.

In the cave, Yishui, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He exhaled a breath of foul air. Just as he was about to get up and groan, he suddenly discovered that opposite the General Temple, there was a row of people sitting cross-legged.

This made him stunned, and then he thought of something, recognized the people and started counting.

1234…10, a total of ten people, you don’t have to think about it to know.

These ten people are the ten hunters who followed the old patriarch out for special training. They are the newly formed foreign affairs temple guard team. They should be here to retreat and receive spirits.

Yishui thought of this and felt the breath of the ten people. Well, the breath was steady and measured, they should be accumulating strength.

He stood up lightly and walked towards the rock path with light steps.
