Chapter 332: Chapter 152: Great Harvest, Could the Killer of My Grandson Be False Core Immortal!_1 Within a cave. Lu Changsheng closed his eyes and surveyed himself with his Divine Sense. He saw an odd greyish aura within his body. “Is this the so-called Soul Seal?” “Not only does it allow the caster to know when the person on whom the spell is cast dies or encounters an accident,” “but it also allows the caster to find the slayer from a thousand miles away by transforming the Soul Seal into a resentful soul thread that resides within the assailant.” Lu Changsheng looked at the grey aura and murmured to himself. He attempted to eradicate the grey aura with his mana. But the grey aura wriggled and twisted like a living being, proving to be obstinate. His mana was simply unable to eradicate it. Then, Lu Changsheng took out a Second Rank Lower Grade Purification Talisman and activated it on himself. A glow as pure and white as water flowed through his body, and upon sensing the grey aura, it immediately enveloped it. However, the purifying force could only suppress the grey aura to a certain extent and was unable to purify it completely. “A Soul Seal planted by a False Core Immortal is indeed not so easily resolved.” “Must I really be forced to use a Life-Substituting Talisman?” Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he muttered to himself. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢 Knowing that Meng Yibai was the grandson of a False Core Immortal, he still dared to kill him because he had something to rely on. This reliance was the Life-Substituting Talisman. The Life-Substituting Talisman had the effect of fending off lethal attacks and escaping through space. Schemes like the Soul Seal and resentful soul threads that curse one’s life could also be diverted by the Life-Substituting Talisman to take the user’s place. “First, let’s see if other methods can resolve this resentful soul thread.” “Otherwise, using this Fourth Rank Life-Substituting Talisman here would be too wasteful.” Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and thought to himself. He did not wish to waste his life-saving talismans so easily and carelessly. After all, this Life-Substituting Talisman could allow him to escape death even from a Nascent Soul below. To be so frightened as to use the Life-Substituting Talisman for a yet-to-arrive False Core Immortal would be too disheartening. “Moreover, if I really have to use the Life-Substituting Talisman, I’d have to wait until that False Core Immortal comes searching.” “By then, I could also remember his appearance and aura to send him on his way with the Book of Malevolent Curses and Fates to settle the grudge once and for all.” “The Book of Malevolent Curses and Fates would require a hundred years of lifespan to curse a Nascent Soul Immortal to death. I wonder how much it would take for a False Core Immortal, thirty years or fifty?” Lu Changsheng pondered silently. Although the False Core Immortal is called an ‘Immortal.’ There is, after all, a ‘False’ prefix. It is not achieved through their own cultivation but by relying on external objects and refining a Demon Core to advance. In comparison to a true Nascent Soul Immortal, there’s no way to compare. Whether it’s in terms of strength or lifespan, they fall far short of a Nascent Soul Immortal. Not only is their cultivation unable to progress further in this life, but their lifespan is also limited to just over three hundred years. “Nevertheless, this is a last resort; if it can be avoided, it’s best avoided.” “Not only would it waste two of my treasures, but the death of a False Core Immortal might also provoke an investigation by the Qingyun Sect.” Lu Changsheng considered to himself. Then he closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and began to circulate the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture. He tried to transform his mana into Seven Luminaries Sword Qi to refine the resentful soul thread. After all, the Seven Luminaries Sword Qi can refine elixir toxicity, so perhaps it could refine the resentful soul thread as well. “Sizzle—” Sword Qi enveloped Lu Changsheng’s body, nearly piercing through it. The Seven Luminaries Sword Qi inside him, like serpentine dragons, wrapped around the resentful soul thread, emitting a sound like fierce fire crackling in oil. Despite being engulfed and devoured by the Seven Luminaries Sword Qi, the resentful soul thread still stubbornly twisted and writhed. Moments later. “It really works!” “The Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture, as an Orthodox Level Cultivation Technique, has the power to refine even a False Core Immortal’s resentful soul thread.” “But, this refining speed is too slow; it will take at least two or three days to refine this resentful soul thread completely.” “In two or three days, that False Core Immortal might find me.” Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, a trace of joy on his face. Recalling how the Second Rank Purification Talisman had a suppressive effect on the resentful soul thread, he took out another Second Rank Lower Grade Purification Talisman and activated it on himself. As the purifying force flowed through his body towards the resentful soul thread, Lu Changsheng immediately began refining the grey aura with his Seven Luminaries Sword Qi. Indeed, under these conditions, his efficiency in refining the resentful soul thread doubled. By the time the effects of the Purification Talisman wore off, Lu Changsheng had refined about one-tenth to one-fifth of the grey aura. “If I had a Second Rank Supreme Purification Talisman to suppress this resentful soul thread, perhaps I could refine it quickly.” After seeing the method’s effectiveness, Lu Changsheng promptly took out the talisman pens and talisman materials for Second Rank talismans he had bought from the marketplace from his Storage Bag. He began to draw a Second Rank Supreme Purification Talisman, planning to rely on the talisman’s assistance to rapidly refine the resentful soul thread. Having just been through a magical combat, not only was his mana spent, but his heart had not completely calmed yet. Therefore, Lu Changsheng did not start by drawing a Second Rank Supreme Talisman. Instead, he first drew a Second Rank Middle Grade Purification Talisman to recover his touch and calm his heart. An hour later. Lu Changsheng held the talisman pen and slowly outlined a Second Rank Middle Grade Purification Talisman, infusing it with mana. The talisman paper radiated with a white light, surging forth and bringing the talisman to form. After completing this talisman, Lu Changsheng did not rest. He began drawing a Second Rank Upper Grade Purification Talisman. It took Lu Changsheng about half an hour to finish drawing this Second Rank Upper Grade Purification Talisman. Talisman making is such; the higher the grade of the talisman being drawn, the more difficult and complex it becomes, and the more time and mana it consumes. However, Lu Changsheng not only possessed a maxed-out Talisman-Making Skill at the Second Rank, he also had the Profound Origin Bead, acting as a second Dantian. Inside it, he stored nine times his own mana, which kept his mana nearly inexhaustible and spared him the worry of insufficient mana.
