Chapter 18: The sense of security of having a pocket full of five-element talismans
After all, in the Hunting Soul Forest, Spirit Beasts are certainly dangerous, but even more dangerous are some humans who are motivated by greed.
Although he might not necessarily encounter them, he must be prepared for anything!
A sharp blade can be unused, but it cannot be absent!
As for the Hunting Soul Pass required to enter the Hunting Soul Forest.
That's even simpler; just go to the market outside the Hunting Soul Forest and find a team with a pass to blend in.
Give the captain of that team a few silver coins or one gold coin to let him take him in, and then his life or death doesn't matter!
Anyway, when coming out of the Hunting Soul Forest, the defense soldiers won't check how many entered and how many came out.
They are all people who live on the edge, and no one would refuse such easy money!
"....."
After adjusting his state to its peak, Sun Yu took out a Calming Talisman and placed it on his chest.
Immediately, a refreshing coolness surged from his chest directly to his brain.
This alleviated Sun Yu's slightly restless emotions.
His mind also became much clearer.
His Profound Clarity Spiritual Eye became even more ethereal and mysterious.
After preparing everything, Sun Yu took a deep breath, slowly picked up the brush, holding it with his thumb on one side, his index, middle, and ring fingers aligned on the other side, and his pinky tucked into his palm.
He began to release spirit power from his wrist to his four fingers, then used his pinky to maintain overall balance, forming a spirit power connection cycle. Once the cycle was complete, Sun Yu began to draw stroke by stroke.
The first thing Sun Yu wanted to draw was the simplest Earth element Talisman among the Five Elements Talisman.
"Earth gives birth to all things, majestic and unmoving, protecting my peace, warding off evil, Hou Tu Wall, solidify!"
"....."
Time flew by. Half an hour later, after Sun Yu's efforts and the consumption of three talisman papers.
The simplest Hou Tu Wall among the Five Elements Talisman was successfully inscribed by Sun Yu!
Looking at the Hou Tu Wall in his hand, which was enough to withstand a Spirit Master's first spirit ring ability.
Sun Yu showed a satisfied smile.
Feeling that he still had more than half of his spirit power left.
Sun Yu decided to draw a few more Hou Tu Walls to practice before starting to draw offensive Five Elements Talismans.
However, drawing talismans was truly not a simple matter.
Just one Hou Tu Wall consumed more than thirty percent of Sun Yu's spirit power.
And if he were to draw offensive Five Elements Talisman, the spirit power consumed would be even more.
Therefore, Sun Yu needed to recover his spirit power while continuously drawing talismans....
Before long, time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, two more days had passed.
Under Sun Yu's continuous hard work day and night, he used up a total of twenty talisman papers to draw five Hou Tu Walls, five Fireball Talismans, four Ning Jin Talismans, seven Root Impaling Stakes, four Purifying Water Talismans, ten Wind Travel Talismans, and five Calming Talismans!
Ning Jin Talisman, when applied, can temporarily transform certain parts of the body into metal, and its effect can be superimposed with the Mystic Spirit Body, or it can be used on the Spirit to increase the Spirit's hardness.
Root Impaling Stakes, consuming the talisman can summon a Spirit Master-level wood-attribute spiked tree stump to attack the enemy.
Purifying Water Talisman, has the effects of detoxification, warding off evil, and treating basic injuries.
Fireball Talisman, releases a Spirit Master-level flame to attack the enemy.
Hou Tu Wall, when released, can converge into an earth wall that resists Spirit Master-level attacks.
Wind Travel Talisman increases speed, Calming Talisman calms the mind....
Looking at the thick stack of talismans in front of him, Sun Yu immediately felt very satisfied.
With these talismans, he believed this hunting soul journey would proceed very smoothly!
He looked at the sky and saw that the night was getting deeper, with the moonlight shining brightly. He then put away the talismans, immediately went to sleep, and adjusted his state.
The time came to the next morning. Sun Yu, who had rested overnight and recovered, sorted and stored these talismans close to his body, so that he could take them out and use them at the first moment.
Then he simply tidied up his luggage.
After taking out the last two gold coins from the bottom of the box.
He carried his luggage, left the seventh dormitory, left Notting Academy, and, facing the gradually rising hot sun, stepped forward without hesitation.
The light of the rising sun shone on Sun Yu's body, stretching the shadow of his small figure incredibly long!
After this journey, when Sun Yu returns and steps into Notting Academy again, he will be a completely different person.
"Grandmaster, you've just returned from outside!"
At the gate of Notting Academy.
The gatekeeper, who was known for his favoritism, immediately fawned over Yu Xiaogang and greeted him when he saw him return from outside.
Yu Xiaogang, who had just returned from eating breakfast outside, simply nodded faintly.
Looking at Sun Yu's departing back, he asked.
"Is that child also one of our students? Why is he only leaving the academy now?"
Hearing this, the gatekeeper seemed to have found an outlet for his emotions and spoke with a look of disdain.
"Ah, you mean him? He's just a brat with a bigger temper than his strength. He's Sun Yu, from Saint Spirit Village, just like your disciple Tang San. But that kid can't compare to your disciple.
He's just a stinky brat. Everyone else in the seventh dormitory where the work-study students live has already gone back, but he just had to wait until today to go back. I even suspect that this kid is so poor that he thinks his home isn't good enough for him, which is why he delayed going back for so long."
Listening to the gatekeeper's sarcasm, Yu Xiaogang didn't say much.
Because he knew that Sun Yu was going to acquire a spirit ring, not going home.
Looking at Sun Yu's back, Yu Xiaogang instinctively wanted to go up and talk to him, as he was also quite curious about how Sun Yu quickly improved using his mutated Spirit. However, once he thought of his innate spirit power of only level one.
He immediately gave up on the idea.
"Forget it, it's just innate level one spirit power. He's not qualified to talk to me yet. For Little San's sake, if he can really obtain the first spirit ring, then I'll have Little San tell him to come find me....."
Although Sun Yu's leveling speed was indeed fast, it was merely exchanging future talent for temporary cultivation speed.
In Yu Xiaogang's view, such self-destructive behavior could only be considered a minor path, not worthy of grand display.
Alas, after all, not everyone is like his good disciple Little San.
Having innate full spirit power and also twin spirits.
One of which is the number one Tool Spirit in the world....
While thinking, Yu Xiaogang walked towards his room, intending to use the holiday time to design the next stage of learning tasks for his good disciple Tang San.
On the other side, Sun Yu went to the carriage station, spent two silver coins, and found someone to take him to the Hunting Soul Forest.
The next day at noon, Sun Yu arrived at his destination.
He arrived at the market outside the Hunting Soul Forest.
Looking at the market and buildings in front of him.
Even Sun Yu was a bit dazzled for a moment.
After all, there were not only mercenaries here, but also restaurants, eateries, various snacks, and even weapons and armor for sale.
Sun Yu's small body at the moment seemed overwhelmed by the sights.
