No hope for eternal life

Chapter 182 An unexpected gain

Mu Changsheng was not in a hurry to continue, but looked up at Ji Leyao opposite him and found that she had also failed. He then looked around and found that the first attempts of the other eight people also ended in failure.

"It's not that simple." Mu Changsheng muttered in his heart. After all, it was a magical talisman, and it was also his first time to come into contact with this kind of talisman.

However, daydreaming is useless. Mu Changsheng must continue to try to refine it and sum up his experience before he can discover the secret.

So, Mu Changsheng started his second attempt. Just like the first time, it went smoothly at the beginning, and then the spiritual power rioted again. This time, Mu Changsheng reacted faster than last time. He tried his best to stabilize the riot of spiritual power, but ultimately failed.

"This spiritual power riot does not seem to be caused by my mistake, but is a certain situation that will inevitably occur in the process of drawing talismans." Mu Changsheng quickly concluded, because the timing and circumstances of the two spiritual power riots were almost exactly the same.

After finding the problem, he had to solve it. Mu Changsheng had a solution in mind and started drawing the talisman for the third time.

The situation this time was exactly the same as the previous two times, but Mu Changsheng had learned his lesson. He took action before the opportunity for the spiritual power to erupt appeared, hoping to solve the problem of the spiritual power eruption.

However, the spiritual power riot became more and more intense. Even if Mu Changsheng predicted and took action, he still could not change the outcome of failure.

Mu Changsheng frowned deeply. He had a strong premonition that if he couldn't find the exact solution, he would not succeed even once in ten chances.

But after thinking about it, Mu Changsheng still didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only continue with the fourth attempt.

As expected, the spiritual power on the talisman paper began to riot again. Seeing that he was about to fail again, Mu Changsheng made up his mind, increased the output of the magic power in his hand, and fiercely suppressed the rioting spiritual power on the talisman paper.

Generally speaking, the result of doing this is often too much mana output, causing the talisman's spiritual power to be unbalanced, leading to direct failure.

But this time it was completely different. The raging spiritual power actually became docile under Mu Changsheng's strong pressure, and there was no imbalance of spiritual power. Everything stabilized.

"So that's how it is. I was mistaken before." Mu Changsheng was pleasantly surprised. It turned out that the solution was so simple. It was just because of the talisman masters' misconceptions that they could not turn around in a short period of time. Mu Changsheng discovered the secret by accident.

So, Mu Changsheng continued to draw the talisman. As the drawing of the talisman was about to be completed, the spiritual power riot occurred again, and this riot was more intense than the riot in the middle.

Because the incident happened suddenly, Mu Changsheng was unable to take action to suppress the spiritual power riot in time, and failed for the fourth time.

Mu Changsheng was also very depressed about this. Who could have thought that there would be a second riot.

However, Mu Changsheng has already found a way to resolve the riot, and even one more time will not hinder his success.

Mu Changsheng quickly began to draw the talisman for the fifth time. After easily suppressing the spiritual power riot in the middle, Mu Changsheng's pen tip came to the end of the talisman again, and the riot at the end also came as expected.

Mu Changsheng would naturally not be caught off guard this time. He quickly suppressed it with great force and soon suppressed the spiritual power riot again. The fifth time, success!

With the experience of success, and the fact that the talisman itself was not difficult, Mu Changsheng completed the drawing of the next five virtual god talismans at an extremely fast speed. He only failed once in five times, and finally obtained five finished virtual god talismans.

At the same time, except for Ji Leyao who seemed to have found a way to success, the other eight were still immersed in failure.

The outcome of this contest also fell between Ji Leyao and Mu Changsheng. It depended on how many virtual god talismans Ji Leyao could successfully draw.

Ji Leyao found a way and quickly used up her ten chances to draw talismans.

As for the remaining eight people, they had failed more than five times, and they would not be able to catch up with Mu Changsheng even if they continued.

Then, Guardian said: "The winner has been decided. Mu Changsheng and Ji Leyao both successfully drew five virtual god talismans, but Mu Changsheng took less time. Mu Changsheng won."

Afterwards, Hu Tiandu threw a jade slip of inheritance to Mu Changsheng. It was the jade slip of inheritance of Xushen Fu.

Mu Changsheng received the inheritance and swore a great oath in public that he would not pass the secret technique on to other people. This was also the old rule of the inheritance of the secret technique. He was only qualified to learn, not to teach it to others.

Hu Tiandu continued, "The few talisman masters who didn't receive the inheritance don't need to be disappointed. As long as you are willing to join our Shenhu Nation, this talisman can be given to you for free."

Although they knew that Hutiandu's move was to tempt them, many people were indeed tempted.

Back at the table, Ji Leyao asked curiously, "There should be many restrictions on drawing and using this virtual god talisman."

"The girl guessed correctly. Even if you can borrow strength, you can only borrow the strength of a cultivator in the Tribulation Realm. It is impossible to borrow strength higher than that. And even if you can borrow strength, it depends on how much strength you can bear. The so-called crossing two major realms is completely theoretical." Mu Changsheng responded. As long as the complete inheritance is not passed on to others, just revealing a little information does not violate the Heart Demon Oath.

Ji Leyao nodded slightly when she heard this, as it exactly matched her guess.

On the other side, Mu Changsheng raised the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp, with a gleam of unconcealable joy in his eyes. He did not lie to Ji Leyao, the use of the Xushen Talisman did have many restrictions, but there was one thing he did not say, that is, the Xushen Talisman was most suitable for body cultivators, so it was very suitable for him, which was an unexpected surprise.

Afterwards, Hutian City held a number of small competitions for fire cultivation, small competitions for formation cultivation, etc. In short, the purpose was to show the various backgrounds of the Shenhu Kingdom and to attract everyone present.

Mu Changsheng's formation skills were not very high, so he just went through the motions in the formation competition and did not receive any reward.

In the blink of an eye, the banquet had been held for a whole day. Hu Tiandu finally got to the point and said, "My friends, you have already rested up and it is time to continue the competition of the Tianjiao Association. Please follow me to the third floor."

When he reached the third floor, Mu Changsheng saw something familiar. It was the giant tree cave that was used in the previous Six Nations Trial.

"It seems that the next competition will be held in the cave." Mu Changsheng guessed in his heart. He saw the scene in the cave through the leaves and found that all the monsters before were gone, replaced by groups of spirit puppets.

The Guardian Lord then began to introduce: "The giant tree in front of you is one of the three great caves of my Shenhu Kingdom. In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, I have divided the cave into one hundred areas. Each of you will enter an area separately. The one hundred areas cannot communicate with each other. Each area has ten spirit puppets at the beginning. The spirit puppets will always chase and kill the cultivators in the area, and their number is constantly increasing. What you have to do is to persist. The ranking will be determined by the length of time you persist. The top fifty will advance and continue the subsequent competitions. The bottom fifty will be eliminated and return to the second floor to continue enjoying the banquet. The rewards will be distributed to you. After the distribution, you can stay or leave as you like."

"After entering the cave, each of you will have a spirit seal on your hand. Use your magic power to activate the spirit seal and you can leave the cave in an instant. You need to activate the spirit seal when you are about to give up. If someone is a step slower and is killed by the spirit puppet, you can only blame yourself for being stupid. In addition, the first place will be rewarded with another 1,000 high-grade spirit stones."
