Chapter 779 Powerful Talismans
Chapter 779 Powerful Talismans
\'It\'s a new day and I have enough talismans to merge and give them to Novan.\'
When Leo finished creating his first talisman, he understood that he could not create the required number of talismans to merge. Hence, he decided to use the remaining 10 slots from his Fundamental Merge on the Barrier Breaking Pills.
Working for the entire night, Leo was only able to create 20 talismans and thanks to his 100 percent success rate, he was able to save both money and time.
\'I still have 65 sets of talisman materials for both talismans; however, I don\'t have time to create any more talismans.\'
Even though Elder Declan planned to take a tour around the Grade 8 Purple Moon City for the sake of Novan, he had to accompany them as a form of respect.
Even if Leo didn\'t accompany him, it wouldn\'t be a lot of trouble for Leo, he didn\'t want to completely fall out with Elder Declan.
Therefore, he decided to stop creating the talismans and leave the Alchemy Room after merging the 20 talismans he had created all night.
\'Let\'s merge.\'
Without wasting any time, Leo held ten talismans and didn\'t merge them directly as he used his [Quasi Divine Knowledge] to check the success rate of the merge.
[Quasi Divine Knowledge]
…
Success rate: 67 percent.
….
\'As I expected, the rank 3 items are a little bit difficult to merge.\'
With his level 3 Fundamental Merge, Leo could merge rank 1 and rank 2 items with a 100 percent success rate; however, Leo knew that merging the rank 3 items won\'t have a 100 percent success rate.
Seeing the success rate, Leo revealed a slight smile because it was within his expectations as he used the same tactic that he used when he was merging the items for the first time and it was none other than changing the places.
[Quasi Divine Knowledge]
…
Success rate: 49 percent.
….
[Quasi Divine Knowledge]
…
Success rate: 71 percent.
….
.
.
[Quasi Divine Knowledge]
…
Success rate: 99 percent.
….
After changing places for a while, he found a place where the success rate was 99 percent, making him want to merge them.
However, deep down, he feared that what if he was unlucky and triggered that one percent of failure?
\'Let\'s continue to change places and wait until the success rate is 100 percent.\'
For Leo, continuing to change places, would only cost him a bit of Mind Power; however, if he went ahead to merge with 99 percent, there is still a chance of one percent of failure.
If he failed by chance, then, he would be wasting not only the money but all the efforts he had put into creating them for the entire night.
Moreover, he won\'t be able to give the protection he was hoping to give to Novan in time.
So, he didn\'t want to risk it so he continued to change the places in the alchemy room and waited for the success rate to be 100 percent.
[Quasi Divine Knowledge]
…
Success rate: 100 percent.
….
\'It\'s time to merge
[Fundament Merge]
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Leo merged the 10 mid-level rank 3 Golden Void Talismans.
10 Mid-level Rank 3 Golden Void Talismans → 1 High-level Rank 3 Golden Void Talisman.
\'Phew…let\'s repeat the process.\'
Even though he was curious about the changes in the talisman, Leo had an important thing to do first and hence, worked on it.
As for the important thing, it was to merge another set of talismans and it took nearly 30 minutes before Leo was able to get a 100 percent success rate.
10 Mid-level Rank 3 Moon Ember Talismans → 1 High-level Rank 3 Moon Ember Talisman.
\'Phew…finally, the difficult part is done and I can use my remaining 28 slots of [Fundamental Merging] now.\'
He put a hold on checking the information on the talisman as he wanted to complete the merging session first before going to meet Elder Declan and Novan.
100 low-level spirit stones → 10 mid-level spirit stones.
100 mid-level spirit stones → 10 high-level spirit stones.
80 high-level Barrier Breaking Pills → 8 Top-level Barrier Breaking Pills.
Soon, Leo completed the merging session heaved a sigh of relief and stood up from the alchemy room to leave.
\'Give me the information on the talismans I created and merged.\'
While leaving the Alchemy Room, Leo silently thought to himself as he used the [Quasi Divine Knowledge] for the talismans.
[Quasi Divine Knowledge]
….
Talisman Name: Golden Void Talisman.
Grade: Rank 3 (Mid-level)
Effect: An attack from the cultivators below the Nascent Soul Realm will be absorbed by the talisman upon its activation.
Note: It can be used three times.
….
Talisman Name: Golden Void Talisman.
Grade: Rank 3 (High-level)
Effect: An attack from the cultivators below the Nascent Soul Realm will be absorbed by the talisman upon its activation and at the same time, the owner of the talisman could use it to attack the enemy.
Note: It can be used Five times.
Special Effect: After the attack is absorbed, the owner of the talisman can be teleported to the place he wants to be within a radius of one kilometer.
….
\'Not only can it absorb the attack but the absorbed attack can be used to attack the enemy. What\'s more, it can be used five times…interesting.\'
Before he could check the special effect of the talisman, Leo was already satisfied with the changes in the normal effect.
Also, it increased his expectations of the special effect of the merged talisman.
\'What? A teleportation ability?\'
Leo was pleasantly surprised and before becoming excited because he knew how to make full use of that ability.
Once a powerful attack from the enemy is absorbed by the enemy, the owner of the talisman can teleport to the blind spot of the enemy before using the absorbed attack on him, which might not kill it, but it would severely injure him for sure.
\'I should properly explain to Novan about how to use this talisman.\'
Leo silently made a mental note as he casually walked towards the inn and at the same time, checked the information on the second talisman he created and merged.
….
Talisman Name: Moon Ember Talisman.
Grade: Rank 3 (Mid-level)
Effect: Upon activation of the talisman, the strength of the owner of the talisman will be temporarily boosted to level 5 Golden Core Realm for three minutes.
Side Effect: The owner of the talisman will be severely injured and cannot cultivate for one month.
….
Talisman Name: Moon Ember Talisman.
Grade: Rank 3 (High-level)
Effect: Upon activation of the talisman, the strength of the owner of the talisman will be temporarily boosted to level 9 Golden Core Realm for Five minutes.
Special Effect: There won\'t be any side effects; instead, there will be a small portion of cultivation that can be retained from the temporarily boosted cultivation.
Note: It won\'t help a cultivator break through the major realms.
…
\'T-this is…. too much.\'
Even though Leo was expecting that there would be some great changes for the Moon Ember Talisman, he was still surprised to see the details of the merged Moon Ember Talisman.
\'With this talisman, I can easily enter the Dark Moon Forest and get the fifth system fragment without any problem.\'
Leo became excited and could not wait to create more of these talismans and start venturing into the Dark Moon Forest to complete his system.
\'If I can get the enlightenment into a higher level of Talisman making or Alchemy, it would be good; however, I can\'t rely on the spiritual essence pills anymore.\'
Even though there was a 10 percent chance of success rate of getting enlightenment by consuming the spiritual essence pills, Leo was unable to get his third enlightenment even after consuming more than 10 pills.
While creating the talismans, Leo\'s dantian was emptied for every two or three talismans and he used the spiritual essence pills to recover his dantain.
\'I will continue to consume them until I get my third enlightenment and if those pills are completed, I will just refine more and merge more of them.\'
With that thought in mind, Leo walked as he reached the inn where he didn\'t find Elder Declan and Novan.
"We are taking a little walk around the city. Let\'s continue our journey to the sect after finishing our lunch."
On the door of his room, Leo saw a voice storage talisman which informed Leo about Elder Declan\'s plans.
\'I got three hours of time. I can take some rest.\'
With that thought in mind, Leo went to bed to rest for a while.
….
Time continued to pass and in a flash, three hours passed by as Elder Declan and Novan returned to the inn.
Soon, they went to eat together and started their journey.
…
Next day,
\'Swoosh\'
Leo saw a towering peak in the distance from which a red-coloured moon was coming out as he heard Elder Declan\'s voice.
"That is the Lunar Peak on which my Lunar Sect is situated."
Elder Declan pointed at the towering peak in the distance as he informed Novan.
"It\'s Beautiful."
Even though Novan tries hard to look fully mature, it was just a 20-year-old who came out of Silvermoon City for the first time in his life.
So, when he saw a beautiful sight of the Red Moon behind the towering peak, he could not help but exclaim.
"Novan, welcome to the Lunar Sect. I hope your future will be bright just like how bright the rising red moon is in the morning."
Taking a deep breath, Elder Declan gave a warm welcome to Novan as he invited him into the sect.
