Symbol of Power

  Liu Bo's hand shot out a strip of paper, and in an instant, an ice arrow was fired, piercing the air with a shrill sound that had not yet dissipated when the arrow vanished into the large stone.

  "It's actually comparable to the power of my own Flame Arrow Spirit Technique, it seems that this talisman is indeed very practical, no wonder its price is so high and hard to come by." Liu Bo was extremely satisfied with the power of this talisman.

  The price of such a low-grade Heaven Symbol is only worth one thousand low-grade Spirit Stones at high-end auctions, but it can be auctioned off for more than twice the price at lower-level auctions. It's worth noting that during the Qi Refining stage, almost no one can cast spiritual techniques, and this low-grade Heaven Symbol has enough power to instantly kill ordinary Qi Refining 9th layer cultivators. Moreover, the symbol is not restricted by realm, and anyone can use it as long as they tear it open. If a Qi Refining stage cultivator had such a symbol to protect themselves, they would be able to sweep through their peers with ease. Therefore, low-grade symbols are highly sought after by low-level cultivators, and at critical moments, this kind of symbol can be used to kill someone of a higher level, serving as a lifesaver.

  After testing the power of the lower-grade Heaven Symbol, Liu Bo experimented with the middle-grade Heaven Symbol. The middle-grade Heaven Symbol increased its power by about one fold compared to the lower-grade Heaven Symbol, and its effect in actual combat was even stronger.

  The power of the talisman is so great, it's far more practical than Liu Bo's spiritual technique. Not only is it more convenient to use, but it also saves true yuan. When fighting with spiritual techniques, the consumption is huge, and with his current true yuan, he can't sustain it for long. The talisman is different, as long as you accumulate some in your daily life, you can use it freely during battle, without any consumption of true yuan.

  Thinking of the many advantages of Fu Yin, Liu Bo is even more eager to develop high-quality Fu Yin. He is now making slow progress and plans to ask his father Liu Fei Long for advice. As a former genius disciple of the Liu family, Liu Fei Long must have rich experience in the field of symbol creation.

  Liu Bo found Liu Feilong and after the usual greetings, said: "Father, I'd like to ask how to make top-grade Tianfu and extreme-grade Tianfu?"

  After hearing Liu Bo's words, Liu Feilong was extremely surprised and said: "Bo'er, how did you think of asking this question? Have you successfully made the seal already?"

  "Yes, father. After I returned yesterday, I started studying the inherited runes and have successfully made a mid-grade Tian Bao Ice Arrow Rune. I want to continue making high-grade Fang Yuan, but it's always unsuccessful, and now it's hard for me to find the shortcomings of the mid-grade Ice Arrow Tian Bao Rune, don't know how to break through?" Liu Bo spoke out his confusion.

  "Bo'er, you really surprised me! I didn't expect that you could successfully create a talisman in just one day, and it's even a mid-grade heavenly talisman. I've heard of many geniuses, but a genius like you, I've never even heard of. It seems that the realm you'll reach in the future is really beyond my imagination!" Liu Feilong was extremely surprised.

  Liu Fei Long was shocked by Liu Bo's seal, and after a moment of contemplation, he continued: "You've just started learning about seals, and you don't understand some basic knowledge. To create a high-quality heavenly seal, first, the drawing of the seal pattern cannot have any mistakes. Secondly, the comprehension of the seal pattern must at least reach the level corresponding to a high-quality heavenly seal, and in reality, it needs to exceed that level to successfully create a high-quality heavenly seal. Creating an extreme-quality heavenly seal is even more difficult. Apart from the drawn seal pattern being perfect without any errors, the most important thing is the final step of "Void Spirit Summoning". The secrets of the seal pattern you comprehend must reach the first level of perfection, in order to communicate with the corresponding secrets in the void and ultimately create an extreme-quality heavenly seal. Bo'er, how much do you think you understand about the secrets of the Ice Arrow Seal?

  "The secret of the Ice Arrow Symbol I have already understood most of it, and the symbol I drew is basically correct." Liu Bo replied with confidence.

  "Then bring one of your medium-grade Heaven Symbols that you've made and let me take a look."

  Liu Bo took out a medium-grade Heaven Symbol and handed it in front of Liu Feilong's eyes.

  Liu Feilong took the talisman and examined it carefully before saying, "It's really not bad. Although I've never personally drawn an Ice Arrow Talisman, this basic talisman pattern is something I'm quite familiar with. The talisman you drew is almost flawless, with only a few extremely minor mistakes. Judging from the glow of the talisman script, this is indeed a mid-grade Ice Arrow Heavenly Talisman."

  "Father, how should I improve this seal then?" Liu Bo asked.

  "Your talisman, in this realm, has been made very well. The main drawback is that the drawing of the talisman is slightly incorrect, and secondly, you have not fully grasped the profound meaning of the talisman pattern." Liu Feilong said with relief.

  "In these two aspects, does Father have any good experiences to pass on? Let me take fewer detours." Liu Bo asked expectantly.

  "For the drawing of talismans, I don't have any good experiences to pass on to you, I can only point out the shortcomings. To perfectly draw them, it still depends on your own practice and diligence. The more you practice, the more skilled you'll become. Understanding the profound meaning of talismans is the most difficult part, which is closely related to your intuition. There's no shortcut, my experience is that taking some time to ponder and understand the talismans in the sea of knowledge will help you make progress faster. Also, when choosing talismans, be cautious and choose the ones you're most skilled at to study thoroughly. The drawing of talismans values quality over quantity." Liu Feilong said after finishing, then pointed out each shortcoming of his Ice Arrow Talisman one by one, explaining in detail.

  All the shortcomings of Bingjianfu, Liu Bo knew from the beginning, but it was not good to explain to his father. On the other hand, Liu Feilong's explanation of other symbol-making key points brought great benefits to Liu Bo.

  After Liu Feilong finished telling his experience of making talismans, Liu Bo still had some doubts and asked: "What aspects should I focus on to create a top-quality talisman?"

  "The perfect talisman is the perfect embodiment of the symbol, in addition to the drawing of the symbol must be flawless, but also need to understand the full mystery of the symbol, so that when summoning the spirit in the void can communicate with the perfect meaning of the symbol. You don't fully understand the mystery of the symbol yet, so you can't draw a perfect talisman, you have to wait until you completely understand the perfect meaning of the symbol before you may succeed. Note that I said it's possible, not necessarily, just like I've already fully grasped the full mystery of a heavenly symbol, but when summoning the spirit in the void, I can only occasionally bring down the perfect meaning of the symbol. Now if you want to make progress, you can only continue to comprehend the mystery of the symbol, until you fully grasp the perfect meaning of the ice arrow symbol, then there is a possibility of creating a perfect talisman." Liu Feilong explained.

  "I thought that as long as I practiced more, once my proficiency increased, I would be able to create a top-grade Tianfu seal, but I didn't expect creating a top-grade seal to be so difficult." Liu Bo said regretfully.

  "Although the top-grade talisman is difficult to make, it can greatly enhance the power of related spiritual skills. Your ice arrow talisman has already reached the middle grade realm, and if you cultivate the relevant spiritual skills, your progress will be extremely rapid. This is the greatest advantage of our Liu family's symbol inheritance - with the inheritance of the symbol, cultivating spiritual skills is simply a matter of days. Since your comprehension is so outstanding, you should focus on contemplating and improving your realm, as for making talismans, there's no need to spend too much time." Liu Fei Long warned, worried that Liu Bo would get bogged down in researching the symbols.
