Proving Immortality Starting with Hextech Runes

It has been more than a month since I met with Wang Tiezhu at Linjiang Tower.

On this day, in a cave in the Dark City, Chen Xu's consciousness withdrew from the jade slip space, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

After a long and arduous process, I finally mastered the art of pharmacist training...

He pondered to himself that he had now thoroughly understood the principles of medicine and poison, as well as the secret formulas for detoxification.

The materials needed to refine the various poisons have all been prepared, and it's time to begin practicing the "Insidious Poison Palm."

But now, there are more important things to do...

Chen Xu turned his gaze and it landed on the rat Changsheng, who was sleeping in the corner.

"Chang Sheng, wake up." Chen Xu's voice was not loud. After speaking, he poked the furry body of the rat Chang Sheng with his finger.

The rat, Changsheng, twitched its ears, slowly propped itself up, and stretched.

Then, without Chen Xu even having to remind it, it pressed its little paw on the ground.

A faint red light flashed, and ten Crimson Blood Rats at the mid-stage of Qi Refining were instantly summoned.

Although Shu Changsheng didn't know why Chen Xu killed ten Crimson Blood Rats every day, he... had already gotten used to it...

Compared to its previous days of hiding and running away, it is now very satisfied with eating and sleeping well, and being able to consume precious second-tier spiritual herbs every now and then.

Including its previous accumulation, the power stored within its body is enough for it to summon six early-stage Foundation Establishment Crimson Blood Rats at any time!

So why should it care about Chen Xu's strange little quirks? As long as there's enough elixirs, that's all that matters...

Chen Xu remained calm, but after completing his ten-pull for the day, a look of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Because of this ten-pull... I got two loot items!

This is the first time I've had such luck since obtaining the Pirate Style Hextech.

Chen Xu suppressed the turmoil in his heart, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

He raised his hand and waved it back into the Beast Taming Ring.

Then, with a thought, he opened the phantom of the treasure chest.

The two loot items are the [Book of Emblems] and the [Transformation and Reconstruction Device].

【Book of Emblems】: Place this book on any target to open an arsenal full of emblems, and you will have 30 seconds to make a choice.

(Each target can only equip one emblem, and it cannot be replaced.)

【Transformer/Reconstructor】: Can disassemble and reconstruct any selected item, upgrading it into a higher-tier random item.

Looking at the two spoils of war, Chen Xu fell into thought for a moment.

The Book of Heraldry needs no further explanation; its reputation speaks for itself.

However, both Chen Xu and his gray-haired clone already possessed a crest.

After some thought, Chen Xu decided to give the Book of Emblems to Xiao Jin.

After all, Little Gold has been with me for so long, it's time to give it a boost.

As for the [Transformer/Reconstructor], it's an old friend too.

This was the first trophy Chen Xu obtained.

It was using the [Transformation and Reconstruction Device] that the mysterious jade slip was reconstructed, which greatly helped me.

Chen Xu just hadn't decided what to use the [Transformation and Reconstruction Device] for yet.

Logically speaking, using it on one of those three suspected ancient treasures would be the most cost-effective.

However, Chen Xu was unaware of the detailed information about the three ancient treasures and was unsure which one would be suitable to use.

So he carefully put it away and set it aside for the time being.

"Let's give the [Book of Emblems] to Little Gold first..."

Without further hesitation, Chen Xu communicated with his clone, who was far away at Hansong Gate, through his thoughts.

……

A moment later, at the Cold Pine Gate, in the Ink Talisman Peak Cave.

The cave was filled with a rich fragrance.

At the edge of the Spirit Spring Pool, Xiao Jin was intently manipulating two arms formed from water to serve dishes.

Four delicious and visually appealing spiritual dishes, along with a pot of rich, spiritually potent soup, were already prepared and placed on a stone table to the side.

"Glug glug~" Little Gold blew out a string of bubbles, its eyes full of pride.

After a period of recuperation, it has long since recovered from the despondency caused by the failed foundation building.

At this moment, Chen Xu, the clone, walked out of the cultivation room, his eyes lighting up as he glanced at a table full of delicious food.

He then walked to the spirit spring, took out a Forget-Dust Pill, threw it into the spring, and tempted it:

"Little Jin, this pill will greatly benefit your foundation. Take it quickly."

"Gulp?" Little Jin tilted its head, looking at the pill that had sunk in front of it.

It never doubted anything Chen Xu gave it and swallowed it whole.

As soon as the pill entered his stomach, a strong feeling of drowsiness instantly overwhelmed him.

"Gurgle..." (My head is so dizzy...)

Seeing this, Chen Xu reassured him, "It's alright, dizziness is normal."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin swayed slightly, sank to the bottom of the water, and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

After confirming that Xiao Jin was not moving, Chen Xu then pulled Xiao Jin out of the water.

Take out the Book of Emblems and place it on Xiao Jin's body to open it.

In an instant, a virtual arsenal composed of countless mysterious patterns was projected out.

Five illusory images of emblems, each with a different shape, slowly rotated within the light screen:

[Sweet Rain Emblem]: When equipped, the spiritual food prepared will have the "Sweet Rain" effect, which increases the spiritual power recovery speed of the consumer by 30% for twelve hours.

[Heavenly Eye Emblem]: When equipped, it can see through illusions, concealment formations, and disguises.

The range of divine sense detection is tripled, and it deals an additional 50% damage to evil spirits and demonic cultivators.

【Five Elements Rotation Emblem】: After equipping, you can freely switch your own five element attributes. The switching cooldown is 10 seconds.

[Crest of Heaven and Earth]: When equipped, one can roam freely in the heavens and earth, unhindered by anything.

This effect will be canceled after being attacked, with a 60-second cooldown.

[Incense Offering to Godhood Emblem]: When equipped, if the spiritual food you prepare is sincerely enjoyed by others and they feel satisfied or grateful, you can draw a tiny bit of their wish power.

Consuming willpower can enhance cultivation, awaken supernatural abilities, and repair injuries; its uses are endless.

Equipping this emblem will prevent you from increasing your cultivation level and awakening supernatural powers through means other than willpower.

"..."

Chen Xu remained silent for a long time before admitting that he was somewhat envious.

Of these five emblems, only the [Sweet Rain Emblem] and the [Five Elements Revolving Emblem] are visible by the roadside.

The other three emblems are all quite good, but the one most suitable for Xiao Jin is the [Incense to Godhood Emblem].

The Heavenly Eye Emblem is indeed powerful, and can replace many magical artifacts.

Furthermore, Xiao Jin's own spiritual sense was too weak, so even if the detection range was tripled, it would be difficult to bring about a qualitative change.

The effect of the "Wandering Heaven and Earth Emblem" sounds powerful, but it is canceled after being attacked, making it somewhat useless.

Once Xiao Jin successfully establishes its foundation, it will be able to fly away from water, but this won't significantly improve its abilities.

Only this [Incense Offering to Godhood Emblem]...

Although it was very unfriendly to Xiao Jin in the early stages, it completely cut off his conventional cultivation methods.

But this is a path to heaven with unlimited potential, meaning that as long as Xiao Jin can collect enough wish power...

Bloodline constraints and aptitude limitations are no problem in the face of willpower; it is a powerful emblem that has been built up over time.

However, after choosing this emblem, Chen Xu would have to consider finding some more advanced methods of beast taming.

Or perhaps we could improve the "Beast Taming and Spirit Communication Technique"...
