Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Chapter 29 Transmission Talisman

"Is your dog some kind of spirit?" Fatty Huang couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Now both Aunt Wu and Wu Xia'er looked over. Aunt Wu examined them carefully for a moment, even mobilizing her inner energy, and now she was truly certain.

"Good heavens, it really is!"

A look of surprise appeared on her face as well. "You little rascal, it's quite a coincidence that you broke through at the same time as Xia'er."

Wu Xia'er was even more excited now. She stroked Wu Tian's fur and exclaimed happily, "White Dragon, White Dragon, you've broken through too? Aren't you even smarter now?"

"I heard them say that after they become spirits, they become extremely intelligent. Will you be able to speak too?"

"Tell me quickly..."

Aunt Wu laughed and scolded from the side, "Don't be silly, girl. Only beings that have become demons can change their physical structure and speak human language."

"It doesn't have that ability yet."

Wu Xia'er's eyes darted around, and she ran to Aunt Wu's side, grinning as she said, "Mom, could you give me a communication talisman?"

While busy with her work, Aunt Wu laughed and scolded, "What kind of bad idea have you come up with now, you crazy girl? What use are your communication talismans? You might as well practice your spells properly."

Transmission talismans are among the more common types of talismans. They come in two versions, Yin and Yang, and can only transmit sound within a ten-mile radius. Of course, there are also more advanced and sophisticated transmission talismans that can transmit sound within a hundred miles, or even the legendary transmission talismans that can transmit sound within a thousand miles. These are beyond the reach of ordinary Skull Mountain disciples.

Aunt Wu's communication talisman is used to communicate with the disciples in charge of purchasing food from the mountain. The sect provides supplies every month. If any ingredients are needed, just send a message through the communication talisman and they will be delivered the next day.

However, talismans are consumables, and depending on the skill of the talisman maker, they are divided into high, medium, and low grades. The higher the quality, the more times they can be used.

The sect only provides the most basic sound transmission talismans. If used every day, one talisman can only last for about half a month.

"Mom, please give it to me! You're the best, Mom, please!" Wu Xia'er hugged her mother's arm and shook it vigorously, her voice so sweet it was sickening, that anyone who heard it would soften their heart.

"You silly girl, you're just trying to coax me." Aunt Wu hesitated for a moment. Although this communication talisman wasn't particularly valuable, she and her husband still had to support Wu Xia'er, especially now that she had reached the Qi Nourishing Realm, where she would need more and more resources.

The couple lived a very frugal life.

However, seeing her daughter's pleading eyes, Aunt Wu's heart softened. She kept nagging, but stopped what she was doing and went to the storage room at the back. She came out shortly afterward with a pair of blue and white talismans in her hand.

"Here you go, use it sparingly, don't waste it."

"Your Qi cultivation is just beginning, and now it's time to open up your acupoints. You mustn't be too playful."

"Hehe, I knew you were the best, Mother." Wu Xia'er grabbed the talisman and ran off to Wu Tian, ​​sticking the cyan talisman between his eyebrows.

"Bai Long'er, quickly use the true energy in your body to activate the talisman."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tian channeled his spiritual energy to his brow. The next moment, the talisman emitted a blue light, burning like a flame, and quickly disappeared, leaving only a blue incantation on Wu Tian's brow.

"Haha, watch me." Wu Xia'er had seen her mother use this communication talisman before. She was always very curious about it when she was a child, and she already knew exactly how to use this talisman.

She affixed the talisman to her left arm, then channeled her inner energy. With a flash of white light, a silver-white incantation appeared on her originally fair skin.

"Hehe, Bailong'er, hurry up and go eat!" The little girl giggled and ran off.

Seeing this, Fatty Huang couldn't help but mutter, "A sound transmission talisman requires a small amount of merit to exchange for, yet it was used on this beast. What a waste..."

You should know that even if the couple works hard for a whole month, they can only earn twenty minor merits together.

Although the sect allocates a certain quota to the kitchen staff for these communication talismans, giving out two talismans each month, the couple sometimes prefers to work harder to run errands and then trade the saved communication talismans to other disciples.

In addition to that, the canteen also has some other extra income, and can accumulate two or three small credits each month.

The couple usually lived frugally, only thinking about accumulating more merit points so that Wu Xia'er's future cultivation path would be smoother. Seeing the communication talisman being wasted like this, Fatty Huang felt a pang of heartache.

Aunt Wu glared at him. "Xia'er broke through today, consider it a gift for her. Our daughter is usually well-behaved enough, so don't complain to me here."

After being disciplined by his wife, Fatty Huang shut his mouth obediently, but his gaze toward Wu Tian was somewhat strange.

"If I remember correctly, the guy at Wild Dog Cave seems to be looking for wild dogs that have become spirits for his apprentice to use in practicing the Beast Transformation Spell and the Yin Soul Spell."

"As long as you provide information, you can get ten minor merits. If you can catch a wild dog demon, you can get twenty to fifty minor merits depending on its quality."

Fatty Huang was immediately tempted. He would have to work hard for a month to earn ten small merits, but now he could get them just by sending a message.

"I don't covet those twenty small merits. If Xia'er finds out, she'll probably make a scene with me. This is just providing information, so no one will know."

"Moreover, Xia'er is about to become an apprentice, and we need to prepare the spirits and monsters she will need for her future cultivation. Other resources are also indispensable, so we should save up as much as we can."

"Anyway, this dog won't live long after it becomes a spirit; it will eventually be skinned alive and its soul extracted."

The moment Fatty Huang had those evil thoughts, Wu Tian immediately sensed it. His talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune was naturally activated, and in his eyes, Fatty Huang's body was enveloped in a faint bloody light.

A dark cloud appeared above his head.

"Fatty Huang has malicious intentions towards me, and there's even a possibility that my life could be in danger..."

Wu Tian's eyes instantly turned icy cold. He knew that Fatty Huang had never liked him, but Aunt Wu had always been very kind to him, as had Wu Xia'er.

Just then, he suddenly sensed that the blue runes between his eyebrows were becoming warm, and even vibrating slightly.

With a thought, Wu Tian moved the spiritual energy to his brow and poured it into the incantation left by the transmission talisman.

"Haha, White Dragon, can you hear me?"

As he channeled his inner energy into the incantation, he immediately heard Wu Xia'er's silvery laughter.

Wu Tian suppressed the anger and murderous intent rising in his heart and tried to respond with his mind, "Xia'er, is that you? I can hear your voice."

"Wow, Bai Long'er, is that your voice? I really heard your voice! Your voice is so cute, so adorable!"

Wu Xia'er was originally hiding in her room, but after hearing Wu Tian's voice, she couldn't help but run out and hug Wu Tian tightly, excitedly saying, "Dad, Mom, I heard Bai Long'er speak! Wow, he's so cute!"

Wu Tian nestled in the little girl's arms, feeling her excitement and kindness, and sighed softly.

After playing around for a while, it was time for Wu Xia'er to go to the Dharma Transmission Hall. After her breakthrough, she needed to report to the deacon of the Dharma Transmission Hall. After the record was made, the sect would assign her to one of the thirty-six caves to become a disciple.

After Wu Xia'er left, Wu Tian didn't eat the python meat that had been left for him. Instead, he secretly left while Aunt Wu wasn't looking.

When he ran to the corner outside the door, he could still hear Aunt Wu's voice, "Why didn't that little guy eat any of this flesh and blood?"

"It's good that they don't eat it; it would be a waste to feed that beast," Huang Pangzi muttered.

Wu Tian glanced back and left a message for Wu Xia'er using a telepathic spell.

"Xia'er, I will not come to the canteen starting tomorrow."

"Please tell Aunt Wu and... um, just a word..."

"Cultivate well, goodbye!"

Wu Xia'er's voice came through the incantation immediately afterward, but Wu Tian had already withdrawn his telepathic energy and left without looking back.
