90: Parasitic seeds take effect

Activating a Talisman Treasure requires a large amount of Spiritual Qi, which is generally difficult for a Cultivator at the Qi Refinement Stage to sustain.

Lin Yongmao already had his arrow on the string; he couldn't stop to activate the Talisman Treasure, otherwise he would have to directly endure Wang Bufan's Talisman Treasure attack.

He gritted his teeth, not caring about exposure, and took out a thousand-year purple jade fruit from his Storage Pouch at his waist. He didn't dare to consume the entire thousand-year purple jade fruit, so he only bit through the skin and sucked a mouthful of the purple jade fruit's juice.

Even so, the strong Spiritual Qi fluctuation spread a considerable distance, causing the surrounding Cultivators to feel a stir due to the intensity of the Spiritual Qi fluctuation.

Wang Bufan, Chen Dahao, Shi Lei, and others also saw Lin Yongmao's actions, sighing inwardly at the waste of heavenly resources.

Such precious resources should belong to them.

Lin Yongmao's Physical Body currently couldn't bear the energy of an entire thousand-year purple jade fruit, but due to Body Refining, a portion of it was still manageable.

Powerful Spiritual Qi energy surged within Lin Yongmao's body, partly transforming into Profound Spirit Qi to temper his Physical Body, and partly directly turning into a long river of Spiritual Qi that poured into the Talisman Treasure.

A three-foot Qingfeng Flying Sword leaped out from the talisman paper.

Seeing this, Lin Yuheng quickly activated the Formation Plate, temporarily deactivating the protective energy shield of the Cloud Sky Spirit Array.

Lin Yongmao flicked his sleeve, and a sesame-sized parasitic seed silently attached itself to the three-foot Qingfeng long sword.

Everyone thought Lin Yongmao was showing off, but in reality, the corners of Lin Yongmao's mouth had already curved into a smile.

On the other side, Wang Bufan, with the pure Spiritual Qi of a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, also successfully activated the Talisman Treasure's Divine Might, and a gigantic axe appeared.

The Spiritual Pressure generated by the instantaneous standoff between the two Talisman Treasures in the air made most of the Cultivators present gasp for breath.

Except for Wang Bufan and Lin Yongmao, who were controlling the two Talisman Treasures, all other Cultivators felt a chill down their spines, and cold sweat involuntarily broke out.

In the high sky, the three-foot Qingfeng long sword and the giant axe stood in opposition.

Lin Yuheng recovered from the Spiritual Pressure, his mouth slightly agape: "This is Grandpa's Qingyuan Sword. I didn't expect to still see the Divine Might of this sword."

Lin Yucheng and Lin Yumo also showed the same expression.

The owner of this Qingyuan Sword watched their 'Yu' generation children grow up, but unfortunately, he eventually chose to travel outside and never returned after leaving.

Lin Yuheng's eyes welled up with tears: "Grandpa, thank you for still protecting our Family."

...

Outside the Cloud Sky Spirit Array, the Disciples of Qinglan Sect also showed expressions of longing.

Chen Dahao's Battle Intent was also ignited: "This is our Sect's Grand Elder's Lifebound Treasure—the Mountain-Splitting Axe. I didn't expect it to also be refined into a Talisman Treasure."

Shi Lei looked sympathetic: "Could it be..."

The giant axe grew with the wind, almost to the point of covering the sky.

The three-foot Qingfeng long sword, however, did not display such characteristics; its gentle blue light even began to become restrained.

Qingyuan Sword

Mountain-Splitting Axe

The two Talisman Treasures, carrying the will of Wang Bufan and Lin Yongmao, attacked each other.

After both successfully activated the Talisman Treasure's Divine Might, the rest was a competition of their Divine Sense manipulation and the inherent Divine Might of the Talisman Treasures themselves.

In terms of Divine Sense manipulation, Lin Yongmao held an absolute advantage.

His Divine Sense Realm had already entered the Middle Stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

In addition, he usually frequently manipulated the Flying Sword made from Sword Soul Grass leaves, making it very easy to control Flying Sword-type Magic Treasures.

Wang Bufan, however, was manipulating an axe-type Magic Treasure for the first time with his Divine Sense Realm at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage, appearing extremely unaccustomed.

As for the quality of the two Talisman Treasures themselves, it was impossible to tell which was superior in a short period of time.

Lin Yongmao formed a sword-finger with his middle and index fingers, directing the Qingyuan Sword to thrust towards Wang Bufan's main body. He intended to seize the initiative.

Wang Bufan saw that Lin Yongmao could use the Talisman Treasure so freely, and the attack target was directly himself.

This was a Talisman Treasure!

If he were directly hit by an offensive Talisman Treasure, with his small frame at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage Realm, he would at least be crippled if not killed.

Therefore, Wang Bufan could only defend.

He quickly manipulated the Mountain-Splitting Axe to block in front of him, passively defending.

The Mountain-Splitting Axe was simply too large; it blocked all the sword light and Sword Qi.

Lin Yongmao used his Divine Sense to manipulate the Qingyuan Sword. Since it couldn't break through head-on, he controlled the Qingyuan Sword to attack the side.

In contrast, the Mountain-Splitting Axe appeared much clumsier.

Wang Bufan was in a predicament; he hadn't expected a Utility Disciple, whom he had previously only been able to toy with, to become so powerful now.

Even if he relied on the Divine Might of the Talisman Treasure, he could not accept this outcome.

As the Sect Master's Personal Disciple, he had no shortage of various treasures. Seeing that he wouldn't have enough time to manipulate the Mountain-Splitting Axe for defense, he quickly took out a turtle shell-shaped shield.

Turtle Shell Shield

A High Grade defensive Magical Artifact.

For Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, a High Grade Magical Artifact was already considered top-tier equipment.

And defensive Magical Artifacts were even rarer; defensive Magical Artifacts themselves were one of the Magical Artifacts with the highest wear and tear rate, and their value was much higher than other types of Magical Artifacts of the same rank.

The sword shadow of the Qingyuan Sword struck the Turtle Shell Shield, and the originally solid shield, like an iron plate, began to shatter inch by inch.

A High Grade Magical Artifact was actually so vulnerable.

This was not the Turtle Shell Shield's problem, but rather that the Qingyuan Sword's attack was simply too strong.

At this moment, Lin Yongmao quickly controlled a sesame-sized parasitic seed on the Qingyuan Sword to attach itself to Wang Bufan's body.

This subtle movement went unnoticed by anyone because the momentum of the Qingyuan Sword was simply too grand.

After Wang Bufan's defensive Magical Artifact, the Turtle Shell Shield, shattered, the residual Divine Might of the Qingyuan Sword's sword shadow pushed him back dozens of meters.

Wang Bufan was already lying on the ground, his face as pale as paper, and he began to cough up large mouthfuls of blood, finding it very difficult to even stand up.

As for the Talisman Treasure, the Mountain-Splitting Axe, that he was controlling, it had long since reverted to its original talisman paper form and flew back into the jade box.

Talisman Treasures are consumables; although not single-use consumables, each use consumes their Divine Might.

Generally speaking, a Talisman Treasure can be used a maximum of three times.

After the Mountain-Splitting Axe Talisman Treasure was used by Wang Bufan, the imprint on it also became less clear than before.

"Ding ~"

"System notification: parasitic seed successfully parasitized. Target is Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator Wang Bufan. Will continuously extract the target's Origin power."

Wang Bufan no longer had the strength to stand up; although his Spiritual Qi had not dried up, his failure in the Talisman Treasure duel with Lin Yongmao was a fatal blow to him.

Chen Dahao and Shi Lei, the two lackeys, quickly ran over and helped Wang Bufan up.

Wang Bufan, instead of being grateful, pushed the two away, but his body started to stagger again.

"Lin! Yong! Mao!"

He gritted his teeth and enunciated the name that he had originally regarded as an ant's.

Lin Yongmao rolled his eyes. He had originally tried to kill Wang Bufan with the Qingyuan Sword Talisman Treasure, but the Qingyuan Sword also gradually dissipated, returning to its talisman paper form and flying back into the jade box.

Although Talisman Treasures possess great Divine Might, they also have a time limit for use.
