Fairy, why bother with me? I am really a yellow-haired villain.

For a time, there was a lot of discussion about this matter, and all kinds of speculations arose within the Immortal Alliance.

Some people suspected that this might be the work of the demons. During the investigation, investigators found some suspicious traces that seemed to indicate that the Su family had had contact with the demons.

For this purpose, the Immortal Alliance specially sent people to Xuantian Sect to conduct a detailed investigation of Su Xinghe.

Fortunately, Sect Master Qin was there to help speak up, so the investigation of Su Xinghe was relatively simple. Even Yun Zhonghe and Su Xiaoxiao, who had been to the Su family, were not alarmed.

Su Xinghe felt extremely surprised and shocked. Only a few days had passed, and the Su family in Wanggu City was gone?

Although not the entire family was wiped out, all the direct descendants living in the Su family's blessed mansion had died. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Su family.

The Su family suddenly lost several Nascent Soul experts, as well as a group of core Golden Core masters.

For a time, the Su family was leaderless, and Su Xinghe, as the nominal heir, had to take over quickly to stabilize the situation.

Su Xinghe couldn't calm down for a long time. Those political enemies who had been confronting him and fighting against him openly and secretly died without any warning.

There was no time to mourn for Old Master Su, Su Xinghe had to return to the Su family immediately to calm the situation.

Without even having the time to say goodbye to Su Xiaoxiao and Yun Zhonghe, Su Xinghe, accompanied by members of the Immortal Alliance, hurriedly returned to the Su family on a spirit boat.

Afterwards, with the support and endorsement of the side branches, Su Xinghe officially became the head of the Su family!

"It seems that this world is becoming more and more chaotic."

High up in the Xuantian Sect's main hall, Sect Master Qin quietly gazed at the spirit boat of Su Xinghe and the Immortal Alliance members as they sailed away, muttering to himself.

The world of cultivation has been at peace for only a hundred years, and it feels like something is beginning to stir, ready to stir up a bloody storm once again.

The world is in turmoil, and the world of cultivation is about to be in chaos again.

As the leader of a sect, he has to consider more. Sect Master Qin must consider the safety of all his disciples.

In the coming turmoil, strength is the key to everything.

"It seems that we need to come up with some ideas to stimulate the disciples' enthusiasm for cultivation."

Only by constantly accumulating strength in peacetime can we have more protection when danger comes.

……

Due to various considerations, the Immortal Alliance temporarily blocked the news of the Su family tragedy.

Yun Zhonghe and Su Xiaoxiao were in the outer sect of Xuantian Sect and knew nothing about this matter. They were still immersed in the intense and fulfilling life of training, honing their strength day after day.

Just when they were practicing wholeheartedly, Xuantian Sect suddenly announced a shocking piece of news.

The sect's top leaders announced that they would hold an unprecedented competition for all sect disciples in three months. The scale and importance of this competition far exceeded any previous ones, even surpassing the inner sect election!

Xuantian Sect’s competitions have always strictly distinguished between outer and inner sects, but this time, the sect broke the rules and allowed outer and inner sect disciples to participate mixedly!

Although the content of the competition is kept secret for the time being, there are no restrictions on cultivation level, medicine, magic tools, talismans, etc., and the battle is completely free. However, in order to maintain the fairness and order of the competition, each team is limited to four people, and there can be no more than two inner disciples participating in the team.

This means that each disciple can formulate the most appropriate combat strategy based on his or her own strengths and advantages.

The rewards for this competition are so generous that they are exciting. In addition to the qualification for direct promotion to inner disciples, there is also a precious opportunity to enter the Four Beasts Secret Realm!

The Secret Realm of the Four Beasts!

When the four words "Four Beasts Secret Realm" spread throughout the sect, the entire Xuantian Sect was in an uproar.

This is the secret realm for cultivation that Xuantian Sect is most proud of. It is well-known in Dongzhou for its unique power of the four divine beasts. Not only is the spiritual energy extremely rich, but there is also a certain chance that those who enter will inherit the power of the ancient four divine beasts!

According to rumors, there was once a lucky disciple who was favored by the ancient mythical beast Suzaku in the Four Beasts Secret Realm, and thus gained the power of Suzaku. He was reborn overnight, and his strength increased by leaps and bounds. He soared into the sky, and the Suzaku divine fire he grasped in one hand was so powerful that even the spiritual fire refined by the great masters of the Divine Transformation Technique seemed extremely fragile in front of it. His power was feared throughout Dongzhou!

The power of the four divine beasts is a legendary existence, and its power level is almost on par with the ultimate attributes.

You know, ultimate attributes are often the innate talents of cultivators, but the power of the four divine beasts can be obtained through acquired chance. Therefore, all disciples are extremely eager to enter the secret realm of the four beasts and gain the favor of the divine beasts.

However, the opportunity to enter the Four Beasts Secret Realm is extremely rare. Since the establishment of Xuantian Sect, the number of disciples who have been fortunate enough to enter the Four Beasts Secret Realm has not exceeded one hundred.

In a sense, the Four Beasts Secret Realm is only stronger than the Immortal Alliance's Ten Thousand Dao Divine Tower, and is even more attractive.

When the sect generously offered the opportunity to enter the Four Beasts Secret Realm, the entire Xuantian Sect immediately became excited. The disciples had no time to pay attention to the gossip outside the sect.

Yun Zhonghe was also very excited.

The Four Beasts Secret Realm has never appeared in previous games and only exists in the background settings.

There is at least a certain chance for players to enter the Tower of Ten Thousand Gods, but there is absolutely no chance to experience the Four Beasts Secret Realm. Maybe even the official has not produced a map for it.

But it's boasted so much in the background introduction, it must be very powerful.

But no matter what, Yun Zhonghe felt that he must participate in this competition.

Not only he will participate, but Mu Jixue, Lin Zhongyu and Su Xiaoxiao will also join.

Even if you don't get the chance to enter the Four Beasts Secret Realm, the other rewards offered by the sect competition are equally tempting and precious. This is a good opportunity for everyone to become stronger together!

So Yun Zhonghe found Su Xiaoxiao and invited her to join.

As for Mu Jixue and Lin Zhongyu, Yun Zhonghe sent an invitation through the sound transmission jade pendant in the three-person group chat and received a positive response.

Mu Jixue said excitedly that this time she could show the results of her cultivation in front of Yun Zhonghe.

Lin Zhongyu replied gently that she would do her best. She had benefited a lot from listening to the sermons in Xizhou recently, and her strength had been greatly improved.

Yun Zhonghe doesn't need to worry about their growth.

Therefore, Yun Zhonghe just needs to deal with Su Xiaoxiao.

What was unexpected was that when Yun Zhonghe invited Su Xiaoxiao, she unexpectedly hesitated and declined.

Su Xiaoxiao felt that she was not worthy and that her current strength was insufficient. She was worried that she would become a burden to the team.

"Actually... I've been trying hard to learn how to make talismans lately... but I can't seem to find the trick, and progress isn't going well..."

Su Xiaoxiao explained her troubles in a low voice, sounding very frustrated.

After fighting side by side with Yun Zhonghe in the Monster Forest last time, Su Xiaoxiao deeply felt the gap in combat power between herself and Yun Zhonghe, which made her realize that she must seek more breakthroughs and growth.

Although Yun Zhonghe suggested that she could try refining weapons and making spiritual armor to enhance her own defense capabilities, which would be far more effective than wooden armor, refining weapons required a large amount of capital investment, and Su Xiaoxiao did not have that much money.

A high-quality refining furnace alone is not a luxury she can currently afford.

So she wanted to start with talismans.

Compared to refining weapons, the entry threshold for making talismans is lower, which can greatly improve the combat power of cultivators with low cultivation level, and is also more suitable for her current financial situation.

By making various kinds of talismans, she could not only make up for some of her shortcomings in output ability, but also sell talismans in the market of the cultivation world to earn spirit stones and accumulate funds for her future path of refining equipment.

When Yun Zhonghe learned about Su Xiaoxiao's plan, he couldn't help but feel a little amused and helpless: "If you don't have money, tell me."

Su Xiaoxiao: "This, this won't do. I already owe Brother Yun a lot of favors. It was Brother Yun who gave me 10 million spirit stones last time. How can I ask for more..."

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhonghe smiled and waved his hand, interrupting her without any hesitation: "You are also a member of my Yun family, so it is only natural that I support you."

"That's why we have to save more!" Su Xiaoxiao suddenly became tough.

She is already Yun Zhonghe's person and a member of the Yun family, so of course she has to save money for her family.

Not only does she want to save money, she also wants to earn more spirit stones through her own efforts to supplement her family income.

Although the Yun family was wealthy and had no shortage of her meager income, she felt obliged to show her filial piety to Yun's father and mother, two elders whom she had yet to meet. The next time she went to the Yun family, she would definitely bring some carefully selected gifts to express her respect, love, and gratitude to them.

Awooo, awooo, what should I prepare? It has to be both decent and thoughtful. I hope my uncle and aunt won't mind.

Su Xiaoxiao cherishes this hard-earned family very much.

"Uh... like this?"

Yun Zhonghe scratched the back of his head, not quite understanding.

If he knew that Su Xiaoxiao still wanted to subsidize the Yun family, he would probably be shocked.

What kind of capable daughter-in-law is this?

I can only say that Su Xiaoxiao is too kind.

"Then what difficulties do you have in making the talisman? Perhaps I can help you."

Although Yun Zhonghe was not particularly proficient in talismans, he had learned some basic knowledge in school and could make some simple talismans by himself.

Su Xiaoxiao shrank her neck upon hearing this, looking a little embarrassed. "I learned the Thunderfall Talisman and the Wind Speed ​​Talisman, and made them strictly according to the tutorial. The instructor couldn't find any faults, but the results are a little off... I don't know what went wrong."

"Not very effective?"

"Hmm...it's hard to explain in a few words. I'd better show it to Brother Yun."

After saying that, Su Xiaoxiao carefully took out a thunder-falling talisman that she had drawn herself from her ring.

The Thunderfall Talisman, as a second-grade talisman, is far more powerful than those common explosive talismans. Its attack power is almost comparable to that of a low-level spell, but its production cost is not high. The market price reaches 300 spirit stones per piece, which is a considerable expense for many cultivators.

In a holy place of cultivation like Xuantian Sect, the disciples are generally strong, especially the inner disciples, who are almost all masters above the Jindan stage. Low-level talismans such as the Explosive Talisman can hardly penetrate the defense of these masters.

At the very least, it must be a second-grade talisman to be lethal, and if several second-grade talismans are stacked together, the power may even reach that of an intermediate spell.

But it's very expensive.

But precisely because it is valuable and can provide considerable attack power, Su Xiaoxiao chose to challenge the creation of the Thunderfall Talisman.

Su Xiaoxiao first used magic to put on a set of wooden armor for herself. A faint green light flowed on the wooden armor, providing her with a thin layer of protection. After ensuring her own safety, she slowly picked up the thunder talisman and held it tightly with both hands.

She wanted to show Yun Zhonghe the thunder-falling talisman she made on the spot.

"Thunder and lightning are coming!"

With a delicate cry from her, the thunder talisman in her hand suddenly burst into dazzling lightning, attracting thunder and lightning from the sky.

She locked her target on a big tree not far ahead. The tree was thick and tall, and it was an ideal object to test the power of the Thunder Talisman.

however--

boom!

A sound.

The lightning did not strike the tree as Su Xiaoxiao wished, but instead turned strangely and struck her directly!

At that moment, Su Xiaoxiao was surrounded by thousands of lightning bolts. She was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside. Her hair stood on end and she looked miserable.

"Xiao Xiao?!"

Yun Zhonghe was shocked and hurried forward to check Su Xiaoxiao's injuries.

Fortunately, Su Xiaoxiao was not seriously injured. Her vitality was strong enough and she could recover from this injury quickly.

However, the wooden armor she was wearing for protection was completely charred by lightning in the accident, losing its original luster and protective power, and could only be thrown aside helplessly.

Su Xiaoxiao scratched her head awkwardly. "That's right. I don't know why this lightning talisman only hits me. There's clearly nothing wrong with my craftsmanship."

Yun Zhonghe remained silent.

Is there a possibility that it is not a problem with the craftsmanship, but a problem with you?

Because of the influence of bad luck, the lightning will only strike Su Xiaoxiao.

So Yun Zhonghe helped to check it out.

There is absolutely no problem with Su Xiaoxiao's craftsmanship in making talismans, and Yun Zhonghe has personally verified it.

But the effect of the talismans produced had big problems.

Even if Yun Zhonghe used it, the lightning would strike straight towards the user.

Chapter 265: Casting Peak

If Yun Zhonghe had not been prepared, he would have been seriously injured by the lightning.

After personal testing, it was found that it was not because Su Xiaoxiao was unlucky that the lightning struck her specifically, but because her bad luck caused the talisman she made to have fatal flaws.

Even if the product is produced according to the correct process, bugs may appear inexplicably.

And it's not just the Thunder Talisman, the Wind Speed ​​Talisman also has the same problems.

Once the wind speed talisman is attached to the body, the acceleration effect is immediate and the speed is so fast that even a Jindan stage master with profound cultivation cannot match it.

I just can't stop.

Once started, it will run like a wild horse running wildly.

Su Xiaoxiao almost fell off a cliff because of this, but fortunately she tore the wind speed talisman off her body in time and escaped death.

All in all, there are big problems with both types of talismans.

However, after careful consideration, Yun Zhonghe did not completely deny the value of these talismans. Instead, he encouraged her and said that in certain circumstances, these two talismans might play an unexpected role.
