After Becoming an Immortal, It Makes Sense to Have a Universal Treasure Pot

16: How come you have so many talismans? !Deep within Pizi Mountain, the spiritual energy was thin, and the mountain wind howled.

Xu Qi’an followed behind Bai Zhan and Wan Feng, his gaze occasionally sweeping over their backs, secretly on guard.

Although he hadn’t found anything unusual along the way, being naturally vigilant, he didn’t think this trip would be so simple.

”Fellow Daoist Bai, why is this cave dwelling built in such a place with thin spiritual energy?”

Xu Qi’an asked, feigning confusion.

Bai Zhan smiled, his tone relaxed: ”Perhaps this cave dwelling has a long history. In ancient times, it was a treasure land with abundant spiritual energy, but as time passed, it became like this.”

”It’s also possible the Master of this cave dwelling just likes it here. Neither you nor I can say for sure.”

Bai Zhan shook his head, guessing casually.

Wan Feng seemed a bit impatient, saying coldly: ”Enough with the nonsense, hurry up and lead the way. I don’t have time to waste in this place.”

Bai Zhan quickly offered a conciliatory smile: ”Fellow Daoist Wan Feng, don’t rush, the cave dwelling is just ahead, we’ll be there soon.”

The three of them walked for another distance and finally arrived before a hidden mountain wall.

Bai Zhan pointed to a crack in the mountain wall and said: ”The cave dwelling is here. There’s an illusion Formation outside, so ordinary Cultivators wouldn’t be able to find it at all.”

Xu Qi’an carefully sensed it and indeed found faint spiritual energy fluctuations within the crack.

His heart stirred. He circulated his Body Refinement Cultivation Technique, his nose twitching slightly, and he caught a faint scent of blood.

”Something’s fishy!”

Xu Qi’an sneered inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged. He simply said, feigning surprise: ”Fellow Daoist Bai is truly impressive, to be able to find a place like this.”

Bai Zhan smiled proudly, just about to speak, when Wan Feng impatiently stepped forward, took out several Formation Flags from his storage bag, and began setting up a Formation.

Xu Qi’an pretended to be surprised and asked: ”Fellow Daoist Wan Feng, what are you doing?”

Wan Feng didn’t turn his head, saying coldly: ”Setting up a shielding Formation, so that when we break the Formation later, our aura doesn’t leak out and attract unnecessary trouble.”

Xu Qi’an nodded, but became even more vigilant in his heart.

Wan Feng’s actions seemed reasonable, but he always felt something was off.

Especially that scent of blood, it made him deeply suspicious of Bai Zhan and Wan Feng’s intentions.

After entering the cave dwelling, the three of them quickly arrived at the entrance to the deeper levels.

In front of them stood a blood-colored Formation. Runes flowed on the Formation, emitting a strange light.

Bai Zhan pointed at the Formation and said: ”This is the Formation at the Qi Refining Late Stage rank. We tried it once before. As long as you attack or break the Formation, spiritual arrows will shoot out from the passage, and a Qi Refining Middle Stage Puppet and several Qi Refining Early Stage Puppets will appear.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Qi’an calculated inwardly: This Formation indeed doesn’t look simple, but Bai Zhan and Wan Feng’s behavior is even more suspicious.

Especially Wan Feng, who has been impatient from start to finish, as if he’s in a hurry.

”Later, Fellow Daoist Diao and I will be responsible for dealing with the Puppets and mechanisms, while Fellow Daoist Wan Feng will focus on breaking the Formation,” Bai Zhan said, his tone carrying a hint of unquestionable authority.

Xu Qi’an pretended to nod in compliance, but he had already prepared to be wary of their actions.

After the three of them took their positions, Bai Zhan took the lead and stepped within five zhang of the Formation.

Instantly, spiritual arrows shot out from the passage, and several Puppets also rushed out from the shadows.

Xu Qi’an followed closely behind, wielding his mid-grade Qingzhu Sword, dealing with the Puppets and mechanisms alongside Bai Zhan.

His movements seemed clumsy, but in reality, they concealed sharpness. Every strike was just right, neither arousing Bai Zhan’s suspicion nor leaving himself vulnerable.

Wan Feng, on the other hand, went straight for the blood-colored Formation and began to break it. His movements were extremely fast, clearly indicating his familiarity with Formations.

However, just as Wan Feng was fully focused on breaking the Formation, Xu Qi’an suddenly took out three first-grade high-tier Fireball Talismans from his懷中 and threw them at Wan Feng without hesitation.

”Boom!” The Fireball Talismans instantly exploded, and the scorching flames engulfed Wan Feng.

A green light flashed on Wan Feng’s body, clearly indicating he had a defensive magic tool protecting him.

But he was still shaken by the impact of the explosion, spitting out blood, and was sent flying backward, hitting the cave wall heavily.

”Diao Deyi! What are you doing!” Seeing this, Bai Zhan’s face changed drastically, and he roared angrily.

Xu Qi’an sneered and didn’t answer. Instead, he swung his Qingzhu Sword again, heading straight for Wan Feng.

His movements were as fast as lightning, the sword’s edge pointing directly at Wan Feng’s throat.

Wan Feng struggled to prop himself up, his eyes filled with shock and anger: ”You... you dare to ambush me!”

Xu Qi’an said coldly: ”Did you really think I couldn’t see through your scheme? This cave dwelling is simply a trap. You want to use this opportunity to get rid of me, right?”

Bai Zhan’s face was gloomy, but he suddenly sneered: ”Diao Deyi, you are indeed not simple.”

”However, do you think you alone can deal with the two of us?”

”Do you see the white bones over there? Dozens of Qi Refining Middle Stage Cultivators have already died by our hands, and even two Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivators!”

”With your Refining Qi Level 4 and Body Refinement Fourth Layer cultivation, can you withstand the two of us?!”

”Don’t even think about escaping. The isolation Formation Wan Feng just set up is a first-grade high-tier Formation. With your strength, it’s impossible!”

”I just didn’t expect you to be willing to spend three first-grade high-tier Fireball Techniques to ambush Wan Feng!”

”But how many first-grade high-tier Talismans do you have?”

Bai Zhan’s expression was extremely sinister, completely different from the gentle and refined middle-aged scholar he was before. Now, he looked as if he had walked out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

What made Xu Qi’an frown slightly was that this person’s cultivation had actually reached Qi Refining Seventh Layer!

Bai Zhan looked at Xu Qi’an’s expression and suddenly burst into laughter, seeming to enjoy the look of a prisoner before death.

”Didn’t expect it, Xu Qi’an? I hid my cultivation!”

At the same time, Bai Zhan waved his hand, and all the Puppets actually stood beside Bai Zhan.

There was one Qi Refining Late Stage Puppet and four Qi Refining Middle Stage Puppets in total.

Although Wan Feng took three Fireball Techniques, he didn’t suffer serious injuries due to the protection of the defensive magic tool on his body.

At this moment, he had already stood up, staring intently at Xu Qi’an, and roared angrily.

”Bai Zhan, what are you wasting words for? This person has a rich vitality. As long as we kill him and sacrifice him to the Formation, it might be enough!”

Bai Zhan nodded, slapped his storage bag, and a blood-colored saber flew out of thin air. Blood energy surged on it, and its killing intent was pressing.

Xu Qi’an clasped his hands behind his back and laughed heartily: ”I didn’t expect, Fellow Daoist Bai, that you are actually a person of the Demonic Path. That blood-colored saber of yours is at least a High Grade magic tool, right? If you incorporate more Cultivators’ essence blood, it might even reach the top-grade magic tool level!”

Hearing this, Bai Zhan showed an expression of admiration: ”I didn’t expect Fellow Daoist Diao to be knowledgeable about sabers as well. Then today, please be the soul under my precious saber!”

”Hehehe, no need!” Xu Qi’an sneered, changing the subject and saying lightly.

”I forgot to tell the two Fellow Daoists, those three first-grade high-tier Fireball Talismans just now were just a meeting gift from me.”

”In reality, I, Diao Deyi, have plenty of such Talismans!”

Bai Zhan and Wan Feng were instantly startled, but with only a few zhang distance, it was difficult for the two to dodge.

They saw dozens of Talismans flying out in mid-air, all of which were first-grade high-tier!

Fireball Talismans, Metal Blade Talismans, Wood Sword Talismans!

The power of these Talismans was comparable to a powerful strike from a Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivator!

Bai Zhan’s face was full of astonishment, his eyes wide, as if someone was punching him from behind.

He cursed: ”You damn Diao Deyi, where did you get so many high-tier Talismans!”

”Even a Talisman Master wouldn’t have so many high-tier Talismans!!”

Dozens of High Grade Talismans were released at the same time, like a vortex of magic, instantly surrounding Bai Zhan and Wan Feng.

On the side of the blood-colored Formation, colorful fireworks exploded, the sound shaking the earth. If it weren’t for the isolation Formation, the commotion here would have spread long ago.

For this, Xu Qi’an really had to thank Wan Feng.

However, it’s no wonder the two were shocked. After all, a single first-grade high-tier Talisman costs nearly twenty ling stones, and throwing out dozens of Talismans is like throwing money away, costing at least a thousand ling stones.

No one would be so bored as to hoard so many Talismans, as Talismans are just consumables.

Xu Qi’an looked at the brilliant magic fireworks in front of him, but his heart didn’t relax at all.

His previous verbal sparring was merely to buy time to activate dozens of Talismans.

Using Talismans consumed almost no spiritual energy, but it required mental focus.

”I wonder how those two are doing.”

Xu Qi’an’s hands didn’t stop. That first-grade super-tier Wood Sword Talisman had already fallen into his hand.

He looked at the magic vortex in front of him, no longer hesitated, cast a Spell on this only first-grade super-tier Talisman, and shot it out with a bang.
