Invincible Evocation - Chapter 52
Chapter 52: Reviving the Six Spirit Bodies
Ye Jianhao nodded. He had a pleased expression on his face.
This storage ring was a very low-grade one and wasn’t ranked among such storage items. Even so, it had not come cheap and was pretty much the most valuable thing he had.
So, giving this item away certainly made him feel like he had cut off part of his flesh.
No matter how he felt on the inside, his expression never gave any of it away.
Ye Jianhao smiled widely and said, “My brother, I have a warning for you.” His smile faded as his tone turned serious. “If you run into a Demonic Spiritualist in the future, you must be very careful. Don’t look down on them.”
Rong Kaixuan was puzzled and asked, “What is a Demonic Spiritualist?”
Ye Jianhao knew at this point that this young man had no master to teach or guide him, so he wasn’t surprised by the question.
“Ordinary Spiritualists are very particular about advancing in level in accordance with the proper way and order of doing things. When they cultivate, they go step by step and slowly reach the next level. But Demonic Spiritualists are different. When they cultivate, they often use underhanded means to find a way to increase their fighting ability.” Ye Jianhao’s expression was very grim as he said, “That Spiritualist you fought with this time was a Demonic Spiritualist who was an expert in poisonous spells.”
Rong Kaixuan recalled how he had fought with Lin Hui and slowly began to understand.
Lin Hui had cast spells that Rong Kaixuan had never heard of or seen before. All the spells he used were very different from the standard five-element spells, and they were clearly of a different type.
But he had to admit that Lin Hui’s spells were extremely powerful. That black giant python and that green vine were both extremely strong and useful in a fight.
If Rong Kaixuan had not had a sudden burst of energy and reached an unbelievable level of strength, he couldn’t imagine how terribly the fight would have ended.
Ye Jianhao warned him about this one more time before seeing Rong Kaixuan out.
He watched the young man disappear into the distance and started thinking to himself.
He had already invested everything he had in Rong Kaixuan. He hoped that Rong Kaixuan wouldn’t disappoint him.
Ye Jianhao was a Martial Artist. More than that, he was a businessman who was willing to take high risks. Once he had discovered a great treasure, he would invest everything he had into it, regardless of what it cost him.

On the 10th day, Rong Kaixuan emerged from his room again.
During this period, he had been hiding in his room, but he wasn’t relaxing a single bit.
Besides cultivating Spirit Power, he used the rest of his energy to create even more Spirit Talismans.
After he worked hard and tirelessly like a machine without stopping, he had 1,000 Level 1 Supreme Grade Spirit Body Fighter Sealing Talismans in his hands by the time he stepped out on the 10th day.
Rong Cai, Rong Yihe, Rong Yiyang, and Rong Kaihua had been waiting outside his room for some time.
When Rong Kaixuan saw everyone outside his door, he grinned a little awkwardly and said, “I’m sorry for making everyone wait.”
“Tsk, you’ve made so many people wait for you. Getting more and more arrogant, huh,” Rong Yiyang remarked in a displeased voice.
Rong Yihe gently waved his hand and said, “Yiyang, you’re not a Spiritualist. You know nothing about the cultivation of a Spiritualist, so don’t say such things.”
Rong Yiyang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Eldest Brother, if you continue to protect this fellow like that, his head is going to swell.”
Rong Kaixuan quickly took a step forward and passed each of them a box he had prepared beforehand. “Grandpa Cai, First Uncle, Father, Eldest Brother, this is a small gift that I made over the past few days, please accept it.”
All of them were surprised as they exchanged glances and opened the boxes in their hands.
Even though they were mentally prepared for what was inside, when they actually looked at the contents of the box, there was still some change in their expression.
There were 10 talismans inside the box.
They didn’t have to ask to know that these were 10 Spirit Body Fighter Sealing Talismans.
Rong Yihe said in a low voice, “Kaixuan, you need these more than we do, so…”
Rong Kaixuan quickly cut in. “First Uncle, I have even more on myself.” He paused and went on in a more aggressive voice. “If I had a hundred Spirit Body Fighter Sealing Talismans on myself when I had to fight Lin Hui, I would definitely have been able to kill him off easily.”
The four of them looked at one another and started thinking to themselves.
A hundred talismans? That was way too generous.
Even though they knew that this young man was able to make talismans, they never imagined that he would be incredibly gifted in the area.
Rong Cai slowly put the box away and said, “It’s alright. Since Young Master Kaixuan means well, we should all accept it.”
An ordinary Spirit Body Fighter Sealing Talisman wasn’t very useful for powerful Martial Arts Teachers like Rong Cai and Rong Yihe. But they had family members who were precious to them, so this was definitely the best gift they could give to the younger ones in the family as a form of protection.
Rong Kaixuan finally broke into a smile and said, “Grandpa Cai, before going home, I’d like to spend a bit of time at the rural estate. Is that ok?”
Rong Cai smiled and his eyes curved. “Sure, we’ll do that.”
Rong Kaixuan was overjoyed. There was a big grin on his face.
Rong Cai, Rong Yihe, and Rong Kaihua looked at each other and wondered if there was something magical about that estate he used to live on. Why was Kaixuan so attached to it and reluctant to let it go?
Rong Yiyang didn’t think too much about it. He started mumbling softly to himself. It was as if he was annoyed that everyone was just listening to everything his son wanted to do. After looking at the box in his hands and the 10 eye-popping talismans that were inside, he immediately put away all the grievances in his heart.
He had to admit that after Rong Kaixuan came up with this gift, his clout in the house had increased by quite a bit.
They all rode on horseback and reached the estate after an entire day’s journey.
Rong Cai, Rong Yihe, and Rong Kaihua were still suspicious of this estate, but they weren’t going to check and investigate the place right in front of Rong Kaixuan.
That night, Rong Kaixuan sat in his room and started to evoke Spirit Bodies.
The first one he evoked was a Spirit Body Fighter.
Under the control of his will, all the mysterious energy within the little round ball surged out and eventually became a powerful Spirit Body Fighter.
The moment the Spirit Body Fighter took shape, Rong Kaixuan realized that there was a shadow inside his round ball.
When he looked upon this brand new Spirit Body Fighter, a puzzled look flashed across his eyes. He felt that somehow this wasn’t the first time he was meeting this Spirit Body Fighter.
After going into deep thought for a moment, Rong Kaixuan suddenly understood what was happening.
The Spirit Body Fighter in front of him wasn’t a stranger. The moment the shadow appeared in the round ball, it immediately inherited all the memories and experiences from the Spirit Body Fighter that had exploded before it.
So, this wasn’t a brand new Spirit Body Fighter. It was a strong fighter that had many battle experiences and the heart of a Martial Artist.
There was a relieved and comforted smile on Rong Kaixuan’s face. If he had to groom a Spirit Body from scratch every time they exploded, that would be too time-consuming. Now, that was no longer a problem. As long as the mysterious energy in the round ball continued to exist, even if the Spirit Body exploded, he could evoke an identical Spirit Body in no time.
Besides himself, there were other elders of the family within the estate, so he didn’t dare do too much.
He ordered the Spirit Body to shroud any presence it had and hid it under his bed.
Spirit Bodies were pretty hardy things. They were able to go without food, water, sleep, or movement for one and a half years without any problems, never mind just hiding for a few days.
Rong Kaixuan stayed at the estate for two days. Every night, he evoked three different types of Spirit Bodies.
By the end of the second night, he had revived all six Spirit Bodies that had exploded.
After he was done with evoking those six Spirit Bodies, he discovered something worth celebrating.
Since he had advanced in level, the little round ball seemed to have become a little larger. Or, rather, the shadows were better compressed now, so there was now space for one more.
That meant that if he wanted to, he was able to evoke another Spirit Body anytime he wanted.
Rong Kaixuan wanted to evoke another Spirit Body Fighter. When he thought about how the Manuals Library in the Hall of Spiritualists had manuals for other types of Spirit Power, he decided against it.
Instead of placing two Spirit Body Fighters in the mountains, he might as well evoke a Spirit Spellcaster with a different type of Spirit Power.
On the third day, Rong Kaixuan came out and said he wanted to go home. Of course, the rest of the family had no objections.
The only thing that they couldn’t understand was why Rong Kaixuan had hidden himself in the room after returning to the estate. They didn’t know what he was doing in there.
Even after they left the estate, they still hadn’t found any clues.
What they didn’t know was that shortly after they left, six figures came out from Rong Kaixuan’s room. Their movements were as quick as lightning, so they had left the estate without anybody noticing anything.
After all, everyone living in and around the estate were ordinary folk. None of them were Martial Artists with True Qi, so nobody would have discovered the Spirit Bodies’ movements.
After returning home, Rong Kaihua’s change was the focus of the family.
Rong Kaihua was still friendly and forgiving. He spoke to everyone calmly. His eyes were still as determined and confident as ever. He didn’t seem to suffer from any low self-esteem.
After going through that battle of life and death, Rong Kaihua had been greatly enlightened. His heart and mind had become much stronger. Even the air around him went through a small yet incredible change. It seemed that he might now break through the Martial Artist level to reach Martial Arts Teacher soon.
Rong Jiexuan was happy about that. To him, men needed to treat the study of Martial Arts as the most important thing in life. As for looks and all that, as long as one didn’t look like a monster, there was nothing too difficult to accept.
There was still no way Rong Kaixuan was going to give up his hunt for Five Colored Orpiment because of that.
After resting at home for a day, he started his continuous creation of Spirit Body Fighter Sealing Talismans again.
He was going to fill up all storage space he had to the maximum. His dream of using talismans to thrash others in a fight was going to come true.
After he created multiple Spirit Body Fighter Sealing Talismans, he suddenly had another idea.
Since he could create Spirit Body Fighter Sealing Talismans, he wondered if he could also create Spirit Body Spellcaster Sealing Talismans
After all, sometimes a Spirit Spellcaster was very powerful, and they were way stronger than a Martial Artist at the same level.
