Proving Immortality Starting with Hextech Runes

Chen Xu took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and made a vow without hesitation that he would never reveal the secret of his inner demons.

Seeing Chen Xu make his vow, Qing Yi nodded slightly: "It's good that you understand. Go back now, don't stand here in the way."

"Stay home as much as possible, draw more talismans, that's better than anything else."

After saying that, he turned and walked into the Green Bamboo Pavilion.

Holding the booklet in his hand, Chen Xu looked at the bamboo door that had closed by itself, his heart filled with emotion.

Old Man Qingyi's seemingly impatient instructions were full of genuine concern.

After putting the booklet into his storage bag, he bowed again to the bamboo door and said, "Disciple understands."

Upon returning to his cave, Chen Xu immediately entered the cultivation room, sat cross-legged, and took out the booklet given to him by Qing Yi.

Chen Xu unfolded the booklet and studied it carefully.

In an instant, he seemed to see countless fine threads intertwining before his eyes.

Elder Qingyi's method of controlling talismans is based on the concept of "change".

Adjustments are made based on the state of the target and even environmental factors.

The book recorded the methods of transformation in different scenarios, which dazzled Chen Xu and made him deeply appreciate the vastness and profundity of the Dao of Talismans.

Chen Xu then prepared to practice, but this method consumed a lot of talismans.

Especially with such advanced talisman control techniques, the failure rate is bound to be extremely high, and the amount of talisman materials consumed will be an astonishing figure.

If ordinary talisman paper is used instead, it is impossible to fully appreciate the synergistic changes between talismans of different attributes.

At this moment, Chen Xu thought of the jade slip space, and his eyes lit up.

He immediately took out the mysterious jade slip.

This item can perfectly simulate various objects, and there is no need to worry about the loss of talismans, making it an excellent place to practice the art of talisman control.

Thinking of this, Chen Xu no longer hesitated. With a thought, his consciousness entered the jade slip.

He held his breath and conjured nearly a hundred first-tier talismans, attempting to manipulate them according to the talisman control techniques recorded in the book.

However, this technique of controlling talismans is truly profound, and the talismans being manipulated quickly disintegrated due to the entanglement of the threads of divine consciousness.

Chen Xu frowned slightly, but was not discouraged at all. He immediately reviewed the failures and began a new round of attempts.

After dozens of attempts, Chen Xu felt his consciousness was exhausted and his head was throbbing with pain.

So he exited the jade slip space and took a short break to adjust his breathing.

As he regained his senses, he fell into deep thought.

"If the jade slip space can conjure talismans, it should also be able to conjure materials for making talismans..."

"Then wouldn't I be able to practice drawing talismans directly within the jade slip space?"

Thinking of this, a glint flashed in Chen Xu's eyes. After a moment of adjustment, his consciousness once again sank into the jade slip space.

……

"Stone platform, talisman paper, talisman brush, spirit ink..."

As he focused his mind, the void space rippled, and a flat stone platform appeared out of thin air. Then, talisman paper, talisman brush, and an inkstone filled with spiritual ink were neatly placed on the stone platform.

Its material texture and even the faint spiritual energy fluctuations are no different from the materials used in talisman making in reality.

"It really works!" Chen Xu's heart raced slightly, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, picked up the talisman brush, dipped it in spiritual ink, and began to draw the fireball talisman.

As expected, with the final stroke, a fireball talisman was completed.

"This jade slip space is truly mysterious..." Chen Xu couldn't help but exclaim.

"This place requires no materials and is simply an unparalleled treasure land for practicing all the arts of immortal cultivation."

Since talismans can be practiced and drawn here without any loss of resources…

"What about alchemy?" Chen Xu's mind raced again.

Beside the stone platform, an ancient alchemy furnace quietly appeared.

"Where is the formation?"

The stone platform and alchemy furnace disappeared, replaced by several array flags and an array plate.

Chen Xu was overjoyed to see all the materials in front of him.

Alchemy, formations, puppets... No matter which one, you need a huge amount of resources to accumulate experience when you first start learning.

How many talented cultivators are ultimately stopped by this huge resource threshold?

With this jade slip space, I can ignore the loss of materials and try and accumulate experience at a speed a thousand times faster than ordinary people.

The value of this is immeasurable.

Chen Xu pondered that he should also learn some formations and alchemy; it's always good to have more skills.

I'll learn some formations that can prevent divine sense from prying into my mind, so I can feel more at ease.

However, neither the formation inheritance nor the alchemy inheritance is sold within the Cold Pine Sect.

"Fine, I'll try my luck at the inner market later..."

Chen Xu exited the jade slip space, and his consciousness returned to his physical body.

He got up and stretched. Although the jade slip space did not consume real-world items, the long period of highly concentrated training had left his soul quite tired.

"Hopefully I'll run into some well-connected shop owners and ask them to keep an eye out for any array formations or alchemy techniques I might be able to find..."

Chen Xu then left the cave; it was nearly dusk outside.

Just then, a chilling sense of oppression suddenly swept down from the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a wave of bluish-yellow spiritual energy and another wave of viscous, pitch-black spiritual energy rapidly spread out.

"Is this... the sect leader and Mo Jude at war?" Chen Xu muttered to himself, looking at the strange phenomenon on the horizon.

That greenish-yellow spiritual energy came from the sect leader Wen Tianhe's dual spiritual roots of earth and wood.

And the pitch-black spiritual energy that clashed violently with it...

"Could it be the Dark Spiritual Root, one of the Different Spiritual Roots?" Chen Xu's expression was somewhat solemn.

Rumor has it that these cultivators with unusual spiritual roots are generally much stronger than other cultivators of the same level, so the sect leader is probably in danger...

If Wen Tianhe makes a mistake this time, then we can no longer stay at Hansong Sect...

Even with his divine sense probing, he could only make out two blurry figures fighting.

However, seeing that the two were evenly matched and fighting back and forth, Chen Xu felt much more at ease.

"It seems the sect leader's strength isn't so simple after all; he can actually fight on par with a cultivator of the same level with different spiritual roots..."

The battle lasted for half an hour. The strange phenomenon in the sky finally dissipated, and two figures hovered in the sky facing each other, seemingly discussing something.

A moment later, one of the figures transformed into a blue and yellow beam of light and sped toward the Cold Pine Gate.

In the blink of an eye, Wen Tianhe's figure was already hovering above the main peak, his aura was powerful, and he did not look injured.

Then, Wen Tianhe's icy voice rang out from inside the Cold Pine Gate:

"The re-establishment of Moyun Valley is ordained by Nanjiang. This has been agreed upon by myself and Fellow Daoist Mo..."

"From today onwards, the area around Qishan, on the outskirts of Nanjiang, will be under the jurisdiction of Moyun Valley."

"No disciple of the Cold Pine Sect may trespass without authorization; violators will be punished according to sect rules!"

These words immediately sparked a flurry of discussion within the Cold Pine Sect.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Chen Xu simply returned to his cave to think of a solution.

At present, Wen Tianhe and Mo Jude have reached a temporary consensus.

However, the feud between the two factions has not subsided, and the undercurrents in the Nanjiang River remain turbulent.

One must have a way to protect oneself when the two factions actually clash...
