Invincible Evocation - Chapter 50
Chapter 50: Advancing to Middle Stage
The tumors on Rong Kaihua’s face were all gone. Even though his skin was blackened, his heart remained strong and confident. He wasn’t bothered by it at all. Thus, this battle ended with a gain for him.
Rong Cai suggested going back home, but Rong Kaixuan refused. He wanted to stay for another 10 days.
After Rong Yihe and Rong Cai discussed it, they agreed to Rong Kaixuan’s request and ignored how much Rong Yiyang was against it.
Since he had brought it up, they were both curious as to what Rong Kaixuan would use to convince them after three months to go into the mountains.
The next day, Rong Kaixuan locked himself in his room and started making Spirit Body Fighter Sealing Talismans nonstop.
After the little round ball between his brows went through a change, it was able to replenish its energy faster than before. As long as he continuously absorbed the Spirit Power of Heaven and Earth, it only took two hours for the empty round little ball to produce enough sticky gold liquid to fill itself to the brim again.
Thus, the speed at which he created Spirit Body Fighter Sealing Talismans had significantly increased.
He intended to use these 10 days to finish off the remaining blank talismans in the box of hundred he bought the last time.
On the second day, when he started to create talismans nonstop again, the Spirit Power within him was suddenly hit by a strong wave. The Spirit Power that was absorbed into the space between his eyebrows started to change.
The massive amount of Spirit Power was being pressed together. It was as if a mysterious force was putting pressure on the Spirit Power so that the energy in the Spirit Power could slowly rise in power.
Rong Kaixuan sat cross-legged on the floor. His breathing was deep and strong. Each breath seemed to be able to reach the space between his eyebrows. That space between his eyebrows also followed the rhythm of his breathing and continuously pressed against the Spirit Power within.
Under the tremendous external pressure, the Spirit Power started to condense and become more compact.
The round ball in the middle of this area seemed to have felt this change as well, so it started to process Spirit Power even more quickly.
Every time the Spirit Power inside that space between his eyebrows went through the round ball, it would become even more vicious than before. It started to look almost like the mysterious energy itself.
Of course, that’s just what it looked like. The Spirit Power outside the round ball wasn’t something that could be compared to the mysterious energy within the round ball.
After two hours of this change, there was a sudden blast that rang through Rong Kaixuan’s head. It made his head spin.
After a few moments, Rong Kaixuan opened his eyes. The look in his eyes was one of extreme ecstasy.
Without him knowing, his Spirit Power had been compressed to its maximum. Even though the total volume of the space remained the same, it was now able to take in even more Spirit Power than before.
He took a deep breath. His body was surrounded by countless little sparkles. These sparkles were all made from Spirit Power of Heaven and Earth. They couldn’t stop rushing into the area between his eyebrows. He was pleasantly surprised to find that the speed at which he absorbed the Spirit Power of Heaven and Earth had gone up by at least three times.
Even though the speed at which he absorbed energy from outside his body had gone up, the time it took to completely refill the mysterious energy inside the round ball, as well as fill up the area between his eyebrows with its maximum amount of ordinary Spirit Power, was still the same.
He frowned slightly. After a while, he finally confirmed two things.
First, he had advanced in stage.
He had gone from Elementary Stage Spiritualist to Middle Stage Spiritualist, so he had taken a big step forward on his path of cultivation as a Spiritualist.
Even though he didn’t know how long others took to advance in stage, he was quite sure that taking slightly more than a month to advance wasn’t much slower than anybody else.
He scratched his head and felt a little confused.
He had heard from Wang Xiaoxiao that the cultivation for a Spiritualist was extremely difficult. One reached a bottleneck every time one was about to advance in stage, and one had to sense and comprehend the forces of heaven and earth to break through this bottleneck. It was much more difficult for them to advance in stage compared to Martial Artists.
This time, he had advanced in stage very easily. It was as if it came naturally to him. He didn’t feel like there was any bottleneck in the way.
Was his gift incredible enough for him to be able to not run into a bottleneck during cultivation?
He had already guessed as much that this sudden advancement in level had something to do with the sudden burst of energy he unleashed during the battle in the courtyard. Perhaps that unexplainable outburst helped him breakthrough, so he didn’t have to go through the pain of a bottleneck.
Second, his Spirit Power and the mysterious power had both undergone some major changes. If the area between his brows and within the round ball had not changed and was still the same size, the amount of Spirit Power and energy that the space between his brows and the round ball respectively could contain had gone up several times. The increase in the amount and speed at which he could absorb the energy from around him was about the same.
Rong Kaixuan breathed out deeply and shifted his focus. He reached a hand out and tapped the air in front of him. In the next instant, a Spirit Body immediately appeared on the spot. His actions were as quick as lightning as he flicked the blank talisman and immediately sealed this Spirit Body inside it.
After he had done this familiar action, a look of happiness spread across his face.
He had only used one-tenth of the mysterious energy inside the round ball to do that.
When he was still an Elementary Stage Spiritualist, he had to use one-third of the mysterious energy in the round ball to evoke a decent Spirit Body Fighter. Now, he only needed one-tenth of this energy to do the same thing.
His hands quickly tapped the air in front of him and pushed out all the mysterious energy in the round ball, as well as all the ordinary Spirit Power within the space between his brows. After a few moments, 11 Spirit Body Fighters were standing in a row in front of him.
There was an indescribable look of joy in Rong Kaixuan’s eyes.
After advancing in level, a Spiritualist’s ability significantly increased.
But he had completely ignored the fact that he was different from an ordinary Spiritualist.
Most Elementary Stage Spiritualists only evoked one Spirit Body Fighter, but Rong Kaixuan had a mysterious energy that helped him evoke an additional three more at the same stage.
After advancing in stage, the growth in his ability had become rather incredible.
Even though he was elated inside, his actions did not pause for a single moment. He waved his hands. Eleven blank talismans flew into the air. They shot out beams of light and sealed all the Spirit Bodies into themselves.
Almost in an instant, 12 blank talismans had all become Level 1 Supreme Grade Spirit Body Fighter Sealing Talismans.
When Rong Kaixuan looked at all the talismans that he thought require several hours to complete, he suddenly felt as if all of this was unreal.
He quickly pulled himself together and started to absorb Spirit Power of Heaven and Earth to replenish the amount he had consumed.
The mysterious energy in the little round ball was able to evoke up to nine Spirit Body Fighters while the Spirit Power outside the round ball could make an additional three Spirit Body Fighters. That meant he could create 12 Level 1 Supreme Grade Spirit Body Fighter Sealing Talismans every two hours.
When he was tired, he slept. When he woke up, he gathered his Spirit Power together to create more talismans. When dawn broke the next day, all 96 Level 1 Supreme Grade Spirit Body Fighter Sealing Talismans were completed.
He took a deep breath and put all the talismans into the box.
When he pushed the door and came out, he immediately saw Rong Cai worriedly looking at him.
“Young Master Kaixuan, what were you doing in the room?” Rong Cai asked with a big smile. “Is it possible for you to tell me?”
Rong Kaixuan burst out laughing and said, “Grandpa Cai, of course, I can tell you.” He waved the box in his hand and said, “I was creating Spirit Body Fighter Sealing Talismans.”
“Ah, I see.” Rong Cai finally understood what was happening. Even though he was not a Spiritualist, he still sensed the change in the Spirit Power of Heaven and Earth to a certain extent.
During that one day, the Spirit Power of Heaven and Earth outside Young Master Kaixuan’s room had surged violently like boiling water, so he had become extremely worried.
Rong Kaixuan waved the box in his hand and said, “Grandpa Cai, I’m going to pay Donghua Treasure Hall a visit and sell these things off.”
Rong Cai was surprised by this decision. He hesitated before saying, “Young Master Kaixuan, aren’t you going to save some for yourself?”
Rong Kaixuan had a mischievous smile on his face. “Grandpa Cai, have you forgotten? We’re going to stay here for another eight days.”
Rong Cai’s eyelid twitched slightly. He was beginning to see where this young boy was getting his unbelievable confidence. Was he relying on the Spirit Body Fighter Sealing Talismans in his hand?
If Young Master Kaixuan really had 20 or 30 Spirit Body Fighter Sealing Talismans on himself, there was no reason why they should not allow him to go into the mountains to explore.
Rong Kaixuan carried the box and walked out quickly to that familiar little shop.
This was the fourth time he had gone there. The minute he spotted Rong Kaixuan, the shop assistant immediately came running over and gave him a big smile. “Mister Rong, you’re here! Please take a seat. I’ll call Manager Ye over right now.”
Rong Kaixuan nodded slightly and passed him a Spirit Coin. “Thanks so much. Here’s a little token from me. You can use it to get some tea for yourself.”
The assistant’s eyebrow twitched as he accepted the Spirit Coin and stole a glance at the box in Rong Kaixuan’s hands. He smiled and replied, “Since Mister Rong is feeling so generous today, I’ll accept this with gratitude.”
Rong Kaixuan had learned this method from his father. One Spirit Coin didn’t seem like much to him anymore. But if he gave this amount to others, it might create an unexpected effect.
After a few moments, Ye Jianhao came out. He laughed as he said, “Brother Rong, it’s only been two days and you’re here to see me again.” His gaze also fell on the box in Rong Kaixuan’s hands. He teased him, “Are there problems with the talismans that I gave you the last time?”
He had seen many things in life, but there was no way he would have guessed why Rong Kaixuan was there.
Rong Kaixuan smiled faintly and replied, “Brother Ye, I’ll be going back home with my father and the rest of the family in a few days. Before going back, I wanted to sell more talismans.”
“Oh, I see, I see. You’re more than welcome to do so,” Ye Jianhao said with a laugh. “The more you sell to me, the happier I’ll be.”
He stretched his arm out and said, “Let’s talk inside.”
The two of them walked into a private room. Ye Jianhao got someone to bring some tea over. “Brother Rong, if you need money, you can borrow some from me. I can’t lend you a lot, but I can still come up with a few thousand Spirit Coins.”
Rong Kaixuan was confused and didn’t understand where Ye Jianhao was coming from. “Brother Ye, I’m not in any urgent need of money.”
Ye Jianhao looked back at him in surprise and said, “Since you’re not in urgent need of money, why are you in such a hurry to sell your talismans?”
Rong Kaixuan was still confused as he explained, “I’ve already finished creating all the talismans I have, so, of course, I’m going to sell them.”
“Oh, you finished… Wait. What?” Ye Jianhao suddenly got up with a start. He stared at Rong Kaixuan with a shocked look on his face and asked in disbelief, “Have you finished everything you had?”
Rong Kaixuan nodded and said, “That’s right.” He patted the box next to him and said, “All the talismans are inside. You can inspect them.”
