Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 78 Exorcising Talisman! (Third Update)

News of the necromancer's ruins quickly spread throughout Triumph City.

Over the next few days, Ronan heard many stories about the necromancer's ruins while dining out.

The most frequently heard story is that of the kingdom's legendary wizard, "Dolifa Augustus," who used a high-level spell to annihilate a king-level creature in the undead plane, and together with other wizards, wiped out the army of undead creatures, ultimately destroying the passage to the undead plane.

Although the kingdom's wizards are dedicated to finding passages to other dimensions in order to obtain resources from that dimension.

However, the passages they seek are usually unknown to exist in other dimensions.

The kingdom's wizards would sneak through that passage to plunder resources.

This opened passage has already been discovered by the creatures of the Necromancer Plane. Once they cross it, they may be met with the powerful forces of the Necromancer Plane.

Currently, the kingdom's wizards' goal is to prevent creatures from the Necropolis from invading.

Because this passage exit is the closest to the Dawn Continent.

If undead creatures emerge from this passage, the Dawn Continent will be the first to be affected.

However, to the wizards' regret, the leader of the Necromancers, the one whom the Necromancers called "Holy Lord," escaped.

This Holy Lord, taking advantage of the legendary wizard Dolifa's battle with the monarch-level undead creatures, used witchcraft to take away the soul of the death wizard from the ruins.

Upon hearing this news, the Kingdom of Valant was thrown into a state of panic.

The necromancers are wizards skilled in creating skeletons, corpses, and vengeful spirits.

Furthermore, the strength of these three undead creatures is related to their power in life.

Previously, the Necromancers mostly collected the corpses and souls of ordinary people to create three types of undead creatures.

Therefore, the undead creatures they created were not particularly frightening.

Now, they possess the spirit of a wizard. Wizards possess strong spiritual power, and the vengeful spirits they create are bound to be ferocious.

The people of the Kingdom of Valant are all afraid of being harmed by vengeful spirits.

Upon hearing this news, Ronan remembered the talisman.

'I wonder if the talisman would be effective against creatures from the Necropolis?'

Ronan decided to give it a try.

He immediately went to the market and bought several chickens and several stacks of parchment.

After bringing it back to the bungalow, he cut the parchment into talisman paper sizes.

Then, the chicken was killed and bled.

He took out all his talisman-drawing tools and first mixed cinnabar with chicken blood to make talisman ink.

Then, he picked up a wolf-hair brush, dipped it in talisman ink, and began to draw talismans.

The talisman for warding off evil is a mid-grade first-tier talisman, and drawing it is not difficult for him.

Ronan dipped his brush in talismanic ink and wrote swift, flowing strokes on the parchment.

Energy particles converged towards the tip of the pen.

The head, the core, and the foot of the talisman are completed in one go.

Soon, a flash of light appeared at the end of the talisman's foot.

Ronan summoned Hongmeng and brought up the numerical values.

Amulet for warding off evil (beginner level 56%+)
'Having only completed the first drawing, the beginner level is already 56% complete; that's what you call learning by analogy.'

Ronan thought for a while, then focused his mind and continued drawing the talisman.

……

The following day, Ronan transmigrated to a world of cultivation, arriving in a deserted forest, recalling the method of summoning undead creatures.

Previously, after killing a necromancer apprentice in the wizarding world, he obtained a book called "The Necromancer's Handbook" from the apprentice, which recorded the spells for summoning skeletons and corpses.

The journal states that the skeleton's combat strength is equivalent to that of a first-level wizard apprentice.

The combat strength of the rotting corpses is equivalent to that of a second-level wizard apprentice. Both of these undead creatures are melee beings, and the reason they possess such strong combat power is because they can resist witchcraft attacks to a certain extent.

If the skeleton were within five meters of a first-level wizard apprentice, the apprentice would likely be killed by the skeleton before the wizard could even disperse it.

Besides the "Notebook," he also obtained a book of witchcraft from the necromancer's apprentice, which contained the "White Bone Meditation Method."

The witchcraft book says that practicing the "White Bone Meditation Method" will enhance one's perception of the Necromancer's Plane and grant one an affinity with it.

Firstly, summoning undead creatures consumes less mana.

Secondly, due to their affinity with the Necromancer plane, the summoned undead creatures will not target the summoning wizard as their primary attack target, but will instead attack other humans.

Thirdly, it makes it easier to form contracts with creatures from the Necropolis.

Ronan summoned the undead creatures only to test the power of the talisman, not to attack anyone.

As for summoning using the ancient tree's longevity magic, it would consume a lot of energy, but he wasn't worried about that.

After all, he doesn't summon them often.

Moreover, he possessed two natal trees of immortality and had achieved the Azure Wood Spirit Body, which greatly accelerated his absorption of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and consequently, the speed at which his magical power recovered also increased.

As Ronan pondered this, he immediately channeled the ancient tree's life-giving power, chanting obscure words.

Immediately, he released his magic power, slowly constructing a magical array in the air.

This magical array bears some resemblance to spatial magic runes.

This sorcery that summons undead creatures is both necromancy and spatial sorcery.

As Ronan chanted, he felt that the ancient tree's longevity magic was not being consumed quickly.

Ronan couldn't help but feel puzzled.

After some thought, I realized that since the Ancient Wood Longevity Technique is a wood-based technique, it contains the profound principles of plant growth and the way of flourishing and decay.

Flourishing means life, withering means death. Perhaps this is the power of "withering" in the ancient tree's longevity magic, which is in line with necromancy.

Because it was his first time using the spell, Ronan's casting speed was not fast.

It took three minutes to complete the magical formation.

A six-pointed star-shaped array, covered with magical runes, formed five meters in front of Ronan.

Immediately afterwards, a ball of white light rose from this formation.

Then, the white light faded, revealing a skeleton wielding a pale white bone knife.

The skeleton was quite tall, at least two meters high.

Two eerie blue flames burned in the empty eye sockets of the skull.

As soon as it arrived in this world, it turned to look at Ronan.

Instantly, the eerie blue flames in those empty eye sockets intensified.

Like a hungry beast that has spotted its prey, it took off charging towards Ronan, bone knife in hand!

Ronan immediately took out a talisman and placed it between his right index and middle fingers.

With a flick of his arm, he threw the talisman!

Ronan has already mastered the art of talismans to the level of "Master".

As soon as the skeleton saw the talisman, its tall body shrank slightly, as if it was very wary of the talisman's power.

It continued to charge forward, but bent down slightly, as if to avoid the evil talisman.

But Ronan continued to channel his spiritual power, pointing his finger, and the talisman suddenly bent in mid-air, still shooting towards the skeleton.

The skeleton couldn't dodge in time, and the talisman was stuck to its head.

Snapped!
The moment the talisman was affixed to the skull, a powerful force erupted from deep within the skull's body.

With a soft thud, the skeleton's entire body exploded, its skull, ribs, foot bones... shooting out in all directions.
