942: Chapter 591 942: Chapter 591 Zhang Weixing saw Luo Yaxuan casting Wind, Thunder, Lightning—these were his own skills, so potent against monsters!
Like other cultivators, he lacked such spells but owned a Secret Manual for Talisman Drawing.
Whenever free, he practiced the advanced techniques from the newly acquired manual with his Seal Brush.
He sketched the Gale Talisman, Lightning Flash Talisman, and Heavenly Talisman.
After drawing these three, he combined them into an advanced composite talisman.
Zhang Weixing was innovative in his effort, selling the talismans he drew to the clan’s shop—crafted from fine Talisman Paper and Vermilion Sand.
Earning merely a nominal crafting fee did not bother him, as long as there was no loss!
For cultivation and skill acquisition, some material waste was inevitable!
Recycling waste meant selling cheap!
An elite from a big clan, selling his creations so cheaply, was already losing out on the labor cost!
But there was no alternative—dedicated to cultivation, they believed their manuals were superb and that diligent practice would yield great results!
Actually, it was his naive belief that with a good manual, a powerful manual, one could create something better!
Previously unknown, but just half a month ago, Zhang Nianjiao brought this kind of manual back home, a truly shocking event!
Among the clan, some couldn’t cultivate; they stooped to menial tasks—cleaning, serving, cooking, all the assorted trivial chores.
They lived humbly within the clan, born without a Spiritual Root?
Not every child born has a Spiritual Root; generating offspring isn’t guaranteed to produce elites!
The arrival of this manual caused a sensation in the clan; the elite disciples immediately copied it.
While possessed with Spiritual Roots and already cultivating, learning more techniques only benefited them!
It included various skills and methods of cultivation.
With enough effort and successful cultivation, one could become an All-Around Perfectionist!
Everyone aspired to reach their desired heights and saw reaching them as an honor!
Sometimes the pursuit of immortality isn’t just for Longevity or vanity!
The title of clan elite symbolized honor too, giving them access to better resources for whatever they pleased.
Free from mundane tasks, they focused solely on cultivating heartily, enhancing their abilities to better serve the clan!
Zhang Weixing thought his skills and inherent abilities were high enough to rank among the top young men in the Cultivation World.
But venturing out today, he discovered that even ordinary clan members had such high abilities!
Staying within the clan made one ignorant, like a frog in a well!
Zhang Weixing found that in monster slaying, he wasn’t the one exerting the most effort!
Merely because he didn’t possess the mightiest spells, nor was he the highest ability holder here!
Past pride had turned into a bitter stream of tears—so much effort, still falling short of others!
Truly, comparison is the thief of joy!
Before Yuan Xiao, he heard a message from the elderly ancestor about an ability in the Cultivation World called Buddhist Seal.
Curious like everyone else, they, as Buddhist Clan elite disciples, had only heard this legend: become an Immortal, and you could wield this skill—sealing objects or people with Buddhist Law, leaving seals none could break!
Unless the person was more formidable than you, or possessed the secret manual and ability to decipher!
Yuan Xiao speculated that perhaps the Great Powers left behind this Qi during a cataclysmic collapse, or some Great Power used this spell against foes.
Sealed enemies reemerged after eons, not just naturally but perhaps even trapping the Dragon Palace—likely, the Dragon King had transgressed!
What had offended the Buddha Ancestor?
Only a Buddha Ancestor could possess the might to cast such Sealing Techniques!
As members of a Buddhist family, they lacked this power, this spell—ancestors had not bequeathed any Immortal Law.
Coming out this time, Yuan Xiao still hoped to try her luck!
Of course, Yuan Xiao would learn to be All-Around, but she preferred Buddhist cultivation, lamenting the scarcity of relevant texts.
Later, Yuan Baozhu brought the clan a Secret Manual, including various skills and specialized Buddhist spells.
Though it lacked the Buddhist Seal, there were scriptures for cultivation.
Yuan Xiao had studied Talismans, those specific to their Buddhist Sect, including peace charms and Amulets—mere ordinary talismans, however!
Yuan Xiao also learned to read astrology, physiognomy, and palms, predicting futures and pasts.
Could she discern one’s Qi flow upon meeting to reveal kindness or evil?
Like others in the Buddhist Sect, good deeds earning Merit also boosted her abilities.
This cultivation method was not something everyone could master!
To conduct meritorious deeds meant staying busy or using such methods to enhance one’s power!
Yuan Xiao mastered this skill without employing it for tasks.
Why so?
Well, she wasn’t lacking in cultivation resources—provided with Pills and Spirit Stones; she cultivated well without needing such Merit.
