Chapter 109: Talisman

  Luoyu Su flipped her hand, revealing a mid-grade talisman. Not bad, the talisman was what she would rely on in the upcoming battle. She tried combining the talisman with her magic treasure to see how to maximize its power.

  Acting simultaneously with the two women, Luo Yu's figure was as fast as lightning, quickly approaching her opponents. First, she launched a barrage of talismans, followed by swinging her golden hoop rod, striking them down in a flurry of attacks, and soon sent them flying into a scattered mess. The entire process relied on the word "fast". She first used her talismans to disrupt their formation, then used her physical training advantage to suppress them, killing them instantly with a single strike.

  A red flower emerged, opened its petals, as big as a basin, stretched forward to catch part of the light rain, and then closed its petals to prevent the light rain from pouring out.

  Luoyu also stood under the light rain, opening her palms to catch the light rain, but found that the light rain dodged her palms and continued to fall down, and couldn't be caught at all.

  Luo Yu furrowed her brow, suspecting that even if she cut open her skin, she would still be unable to absorb the light rain.

  The last time her wound absorbed the light rain, it was transformed from the enemy's large knife. At that time, the knife was stuck in the wound, and when it turned into light rain, there was no longer any physical obstruction, and the wound closed immediately, leaving behind some of the light rain.

  What to do? Seeing the last layer of Guangyu was only half a meter away from the platform, Luoyuling's mind moved and she tried to absorb the Guangyu with Hunyuan Decision. Finally, a few light spots were successfully absorbed, but most of the Guangyu fell into the texture of the platform and disappeared.

  Luoyu used her divine sense to observe the several light spots that were absorbed into her body. They followed the meridians and entered the dantian, merging into the spiritual liquid, and immediately disappeared without a trace. Her dantian didn't show any unusual signs either, was it because there was too little of it?

  With a flicker of her eyes, she saw that the closed petals of the red rice occasionally bulged out with small packages, and then flattened again. Luo Yu smiled and said: "Red Rice, your absorption ability is not very powerful either."

  "Master, it's almost done, soon all the light spots will be absorbed into the pistil."

  Redmi replied. But in his heart, he was muttering to himself: At least I'm much stronger than you! I absorbed one-tenth of the light rain, while you only absorbed a few rays of light, and yet you still dare to mock me?

  For the next six days, Luo Yu participated in only one battle each day. The rest of the time was spent drawing talismans.

  These six battles, the number of enemies increased one by one, and the attacking methods also became diversified from a single long sword to Water Moon Wheel, Focused Wood Guitar, Phantom Bell, etc. They cooperated tacitly, attacked fiercely, fortunately their cultivation was only at the initial stage of foundation building, Luo Yu relied on the symbol flag to break their cooperation, then eliminated them one by one, during which being injured and bleeding was a common occurrence.

  Especially on the sixth day, eight enemies appeared, and four of them reached the peak of the initial foundation. This battle was extremely difficult, and Luoyu retreated repeatedly, unable to help but throw out all three levels of red rice to counterattack. One person and one monster cooperated with each other, the whip shadow flew, the talisman fluttered, and finally shattered the enemy into a shower of light rain.

  Bathing in the rain of light, the red rice opens its petals and absorbs the light with all its might. The scattered broken stems and leaves on the battlefield move around, making a rustling sound, and all the broken stems and leaves return to the red rice. Although the broken stems are reconnected and the leaves are reattached, the dull color and tattered leaves make the originally thriving red rice look exceptionally disheveled.

  Luo Yu was even more miserable, with over a dozen wounds all over her body. Fresh blood had dyed her green robe red, and her face and hair were covered in thick, sticky blood.

  She lay motionless on the battlefield after taking the elixir. She circulated the Chaotic Void Decision, making an effort to absorb the light rain and transport it to her wound to heal herself.

  "Master, if we continue like this, we will definitely die here." Hong Mei's voice was weak and powerless.

  "Uh-huh, I know that the next battle is the 19th one and it should be a mid-term enemy of the foundation building stage. The past two days when I was drawing talismans, I had a faint feeling that my talisman drawing skills were about to break through to the upper rank of the second tier. Once my injuries are healed, I'll immediately start drawing talismans and this time I will definitely succeed. As long as the success rate of creating upper rank second-tier talismans is a bit higher, the next nine battles should be manageable."

  What if it can't be painted? What if the success rate is low? — Hongmi was deeply worried.

  A Second-Order Upper Grade Talisman is equivalent to a single attack by an ordinary cultivator in the later stages of Foundation Establishment, but the Energy Body enemies that appear on the battlefield are based on the strength of ancient sect cultivators. Their mid-Foundation Establishment strength is not much different from that of modern-day cultivators in the late stages of Foundation Establishment.

  So, if the second-order superior talisman is not successfully made, Luo Yu will not be able to win the next trial; if the success rate of the second-order superior talisman is not high, then she will not be able to take down the 20th to 27th trials.

  Seeing the petals, Luo Yu guessed what Hong Mi was thinking and comforted her: "Mi Mi, don't worry, I will definitely succeed." After a pause, she chuckled twice: "If not successful, then we'll die together. You can rest assured, Master, I will absolutely accompany you to death, even as ghosts we won't be lonely!"

  Hearing the previous sentence, Hongmi felt a warmth in her heart, but hearing the last sentence, Hongmi's entire demon was no longer good.

  Even death cannot escape you, why is my life so miserable!

  Watching Hongmi get angry and shaking all over, Luoyu couldn't help but burst out laughing, the feeling of bullying a demon was really great.

  Hearing the laughter, Hongmi became even angrier and didn't respond to Luoyu for a long time. No matter how Luoyu teased it with the spiritual stone, it resolutely ignored him.

  Hmph! A mid-grade spirit stone can't even begin to dispel the anger in my heart.

  Sneaked a peek, oh, it's become two pieces now, humph, still too little.

  Three dollars, four dollars

  Until he took out nine mid-grade spirit stones, Hong Mi still didn't budge. Luo Yu snorted twice, then put the spirit stones away in his storage bag.

  Hmph, you don't know what it means to know when to stop, I'll let you understand what it means to be counterproductive!

  At this moment, Hongmi was on the verge of tears. It had planned to reluctantly accept when Luo Yu took out 10 mid-grade spirit stones, but unexpectedly, Jiao had gone too far and Luo Yu had taken back all the spirit stones, no longer coaxing it!

  It's really distressing, but no matter how distressed I am, I still can't go ask her for it. Otherwise, who knows how she'll bully me in the future? But those are nine pieces of mid-grade spirit stones, and they're exactly what I need!

  Luoyu pretended not to know the difficulties of red rice, got up and changed into a blood-stained robe, took out the desk, laid out the tools for making talismans, calmed down, wielded his brush like a snake walking and a dragon flying, with spiritual light flashing, and one talisman was formed.

  "Hmm, second-rate top-grade Flame Emblem." Luo Yu muttered to herself, her voice slightly louder than usual.

  Hongmi knew that Luo Yu intentionally said this to her, but even if she didn't say it, Hongmi would still know the outcome because she had been staring at Luo Yu all along. This was related to whether or not she could survive for the next nine days. Even though she was currently at odds with Luo Yu, she couldn't help but pay attention to her progress in drawing talismans.

  With a triumphant glance at Hongmi, Luoyu took a deep breath and fully immersed herself in drawing the talisman.
