Chapter 30: Retreat

[Ding! Release the achievement task, please complete the drawing of the second-level talisman thirty times]

[Current progress: 18%]

Jiang Chengxuan was stunned when he heard the system's voice.

His first reaction was that why was the task not in units of 100 achievements this time?

But his second reaction was to secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he was not asked to complete the drawing of the second-level talisman a hundred times.

In that case, with his current wealth, he really couldn't afford such a task.

After all, the value of the materials for drawing the second-level talisman is quite different from that for drawing the first-level talisman.

Just talking about the 1,700 family contributions he has, if all of them are used to buy materials for drawing the second-level talisman, at most he can draw more than 40 second-level talismans.

And it's the cheapest kind of second-level talismans.

But if he only draws 30 second-level talismans at the moment, Jiang Chengxuan can still afford it for the time being.

Moreover, the system also counted the number of second-level talismans he had drawn before.

At this moment, he carefully checked the list of jade slips.

Finally, he selected a second-level inferior talisman pen worth 600 contributions.

After all, if you really want to study second-level talismans, a second-level talisman pen is indispensable.

As for the remaining 1,100 family contributions, Jiang Chengxuan decided to exchange them all for materials for drawing second-level talismans.

In this way, it will be enough to support him to complete the task issued by the system this time.

After he and Shen Ruyan told Shen Baifei the items they wanted to exchange, Shen Baifei nodded.

Soon, Shen Baifei came over with two storage bags.

He handed two storage bags to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan respectively, and said:

"These are the items you want to exchange this time, take a look."

After taking the storage bags, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan checked them. After confirming that there was no problem, they nodded to Shen Baifei and thanked him.

Soon, the two said goodbye to Shen Baifei.

When they came outside, Shen Ruyan couldn't help but look at Jiang Chengxuan with a smile and said:

"Elder Jiang, are you going back to the cave house next?"

"Yes."

Jiang Chengxuan nodded.

"I plan to go back and digest the gains this time. What about you?"

"I'm almost there."

Shen Ruyan smiled and said: "Then let's part ways here and see each other again when we have time."

"Okay, see you later."

After a while, Jiang Chengxuan returned to his own cave house and immediately began to retreat.

During this retreat, Jiang Chengxuan had a total of six things to do.

The first was to use the Shangyuan Pill to break through his own cultivation to the second level of foundation building.

Then he had to refine the second-level inferior defensive magic weapon, the Purple Gold Spirit Shield, and the second-level inferior talisman pen.

After that, he also had to practice the second-level inferior magic technique, the Phantom Body Step, and the Qingfeng Sword Technique.

That was five things.

As for the last thing, it was naturally to try to make a second-level talisman.

Jiang Chengxuan roughly estimated.

It would take at least four or five years for him to finish these six things.

Time passed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, it was already half a year later.

At this time, Jiang Chengxuan had used the Shangyuan Pill to break through to the second level of foundation building.

The total amount of true energy in his body increased by more than 20% compared to before.

If he had used the North Pole Divine Light twice before, he would have used up all his true energy, then now he would not have that situation again.

At least he still had the ability to escape.

In addition, his true energy strength, not to say that it was comparable to that of a cultivator at the fourth level of foundation building, would not be much different.

With the second-level middle-grade purple flame sword and the Qingfeng sword technique, it is already fully capable of threatening the fourth-level foundation-building cultivators.

In the next six months or so, Jiang Chengxuan put most of his energy on refining the two magic tools, the purple gold spirit shield and the second-level talisman pen.

The former can enhance his ability to save his life, while the latter can help him draw the second-level talismans better.

They are all very important things.

Jiang Chengxuan didn't dare to be careless at all.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

After more than half a year, both second-level magic tools were successfully refined by him.

No extra time was wasted.

After Jiang Chengxuan successfully refined the purple gold spirit shield and the second-level talisman pen, he put all his energy on comprehending and practicing the two second-level magics, the illusion step and the Qingfeng sword technique.

Qingfeng sword technique is not bad.

After all, when the system rewarded him, it had already let him get started.

Jiang Chengxuan didn't encounter too many difficulties when he practiced here.

Half a year later, he had improved the Qingfeng Sword Art to the realm of minor success.

It must be said that this sword art rewarded by the system is indeed quite powerful.

Although it is not clear what grade this sword art is.

But from Jiang Chengxuan's feeling, the power of this minor success Qingfeng Sword Art is no less than that of some second-level lower-grade great perfection spells.

It can be imagined that when he cultivates this Qingfeng Sword Art to the realm of great success or even great perfection, it will definitely be comparable to the power of second-level upper-grade spells.

In comparison, it is the cultivation of the Huanshen Step that makes Jiang Chengxuan feel a little difficult.

But this is relatively normal.

As we all know, it is often more difficult to practice body movement skills than ordinary attack skills.

In addition, his own comprehension is not particularly outstanding.

He felt some troubles when practicing the phantom step, but it was not a big deal.

Fortunately, this situation did not last too long.

About half a year later, Jiang Chengxuan finally successfully mastered the phantom step.

At this time, his speed of moving in a small range was obviously more than 20% faster than before.

And when he moved, there would be a figure exactly like him beside him.

If there is no corresponding skill to see through, it is really difficult to distinguish which is his real body and which is his phantom for a while.

In this way, more than two years have passed.

Jiang Chengxuan still has no intention of coming out of seclusion.

Because he has one last thing to do, which is to try to draw a second-level talisman to improve his own talisman making skills.

This time, Jiang Chengxuan did not try to draw many second-level low-grade talismans at once like last time.

This time, he focused his main goal on a second-level low-grade talisman called Jiamu Rejuvenation Talisman, or Rejuvenation Talisman for short.

In fact, it is a talisman used to treat the injuries of monks.

It is a relatively easy-to-learn talisman among many second-level low-grade talismans.

He drew four or five in a row, but all failed, failed, failed!

Fortunately, the drawing progress under his retina did not move at all, but increased from the original 18% to 35%.

It seems that there are a few votes, please ask for a wave, thank you thank you
