He sighed softly as he spoke, sitting on a small stool like a little adult, appearing exceptionally tender and cute.
"Back then, there were so many people in the sect! The Upper Realm was already short of alchemists, talisman masters, and artifact refiners, so our sect was even more sought after!"
Jin Bao'er interrupted his mispronunciation.
"Extremely sought after!"
The little radish head scratched his head sheepishly, his face instantly turning red!
"Aiya, I'm still young! Cough cough!"
"Later, everyone in the Upper Realm pursued powerful spiritual power and cultivation, and they didn't cherish magical artifacts. As more immortal artifacts were damaged, fewer people were refining them. This became something everyone vied for, until one day, some people began to target artifact refiners and the like frantically. No one dared to learn artifact refining anymore, and it ended up like this..."
Jin Bao'er remained silent, but she roughly understood the situation. It was like a doctor with excellent medical skills seeing patients every day, but there were few people who knew medicine, and most people couldn't get treatment. In their anger, they would rather be destroyed than fulfill others.
Such people were not unheard of!
And in the Upper Realm, those cultivators who could refine artifacts and talismans were not strong enough...
Both elixir cultivators and talisman cultivators also required a certain talent! Over time, as more died, others would be even more hesitant to learn such skills.
The little radish head was somewhat helpless, and because of this, his master's true strength was never revealed. Occasionally, when he took on a commission, he had to do it secretly, and sometimes he would intentionally cause some trouble, making others think they were only half-baked!
The direct consequence of this was becoming poorer and poorer... It was pathetic that he had to manage the household so frugally at such a young age!!
Jin Bao'er looked at his precocious expression and said nothing comforting. In this world, who lived a life of ease and freedom?
"Forget it, forget it, I won't think about it anymore! It's rare to have someone listen to my rambling, I got carried away for a moment, hehe! As an apology, I'll take you to a place, Fairy! It's my little secret."
Just as Jin Bao'er was about to refuse, a small hand reached out and gently tugged at her finger, eager to show her his treasures!
The pure and innocent desire to share surprised her. Since she had nothing to do now, she might as well take a look! She thought helplessly.
Afterward, two figures, one large and one small, entered a mountain range underground...
The little radish head in front pulled her along happily, occasionally reminding her to be careful of the walls, because divine sense could not be used here, and they could only rely on firelight for illumination.
Jin Bao'er didn't think too much of it. She casually took out a luminous pearl she had found in a celestial mansion before. A warm white light suddenly enveloped the surroundings, and the dark underground entrance clearly appeared before them...
The little radish head looked at her palm, his eyes showing surprise! But there was no greed at all...
Jin Bao'er smiled when she saw this.
"Do you like it? I'll give it to you when we go out!"
Anyway, Long Li Xing had given her a lot last time. Back in the valley of the Dragon Clan Continent, it almost blinded her eyes!
The little radish head unexpectedly shook his head. Although his eyes were filled with longing, he also understood the principle that a gentleman loves wealth and obtains it righteously! He then continued to lead her inside, familiar with the path.
Soon, the two finally reached the end. A bed made of dried grass came into view, clearly indicating that someone had lived there before.
Seeing this, the little radish head explained.
"I heard that a strange person lived here before, very powerful, but crazy and foolish, and unwilling to leave underground. Then one day, he suddenly disappeared, and fewer people came here. Fairy, look, these are all my collected treasures!"
Jin Bao'er lowered her gaze, her eyes falling on the wooden boats, small toys, and some porcelain. Although the craftsmanship was decent, the materials were ordinary, and overall they were not worth much money, yet they were treasured so much by the little radish head...
"Mm, very good!"
The little radish head was very happy to have his treasures affirmed! After all, in this mountain, the only people he could see were his master and senior brother, and he really had no one else to share with.
After speaking, Jin Bao'er fell silent. Her gaze casually swept across the surroundings, but she didn't detect any spiritual energy... It must be a natural cave that could isolate aura and divine sense.
"We..."
Just then, as she was about to tell the little radish head to turn back, she saw a different color on the wall. Whether it was an illusion or not, when she looked closely, she felt it bore some resemblance to a talisman she had drawn before...
But she was also sure that there was no spiritual energy on it!
Thinking this, she stepped closer to the wall. Noticing the marks on it, she raised her right hand and gently waved...
A cold breeze blew, gradually dispersing the thick dust on the wall, revealing the strange and long marks beneath!
Jin Bao'er was slightly stunned. Red and white... a talisman seal?
Following the winding marks that extended upwards, she gradually raised her head. The darkness at the end prevented her from seeing clearly, so she stepped back step by step until her back was against another wall, and then she controlled the luminous pearl to float upwards...
At this moment, the entire underground cave slowly became clear, and the patterns on the wall appeared before her completely!
She was shocked! She became uncontrollably excited, her pupils constricted, her eyes filled with the image of this giant talisman seal!
She finally realized that the wall in front of her was not rough, protruding stones, but a huge talisman imprint, with red and white colors occupying almost the entire wall...
As a talisman master, she knew how difficult it was to create a talisman of this magnitude. For example, she had once drawn a continental teleportation array that spanned an entire continent in the cultivation world. What she was drawing beneath her feet was precisely a kind of talisman seal pattern!
However, the talisman seal in front of her was larger than her previous one, and the colors used were different. It was clearly not any kind of talisman recognized in this world.
At this moment, she was very excited. She suppressed the turmoil in her heart and desperately memorized it with her eyes, clearly feeling that this pattern was completely different from the talismans she had learned before!
However, after she had memorized half of it, her mind went blank, and she completely forgot the pattern she had just memorized...
Almost instantly, she calmed down, and looked at the wall with a composed gaze. After trying again, it was still the same, and then she realized the mystery behind it.
Clearly, this was the self-protection mechanism of the talisman seal. It was not that anyone who learned the pattern above could create the same talisman!
After realizing this, she felt a little disappointed, but soon regained her composure! After all, she had already gained a lot, and not all treasures belonged to her! It didn't matter if this opportunity didn't belong to her.
After thinking for a moment, she still waved her hand to disperse the dust attached to it. Perhaps one day, a person with great fortune would accidentally come here and obtain the talisman seal above!
