Luo feng roughly estimated that with the continuous assistance of Spirit Cleansing Pills, he could reach Qi Refining Stage Three in at most two months.
This was the power of Spirit Stones. If he continued like this, he might even have a chance to achieve Foundation Establishment.
It was said that Foundation Establishment Cultivators could live up to three hundred years, and even if an Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator had a slightly lower Lifespan of only two hundred years, it was still quite good.
Currently, I am at Qi Refining Stage Two. I am still six levels away from Perfected Qi Refining. Even if each breakthrough takes four years, it would only be 24 years at most.
However, Cultivation becomes increasingly difficult later on. With my Aptitude, I will likely encounter a Bottleneck when attempting to breakthrough to Mid-stage Qi Refinement.
Forget it, the more I think about it, the more annoyed I get. I should first breakthrough to Qi Refining Stage Three.
One Spirit Cleansing Pill can be taken every two days, which means 15 pills a month, requiring 15 Spirit Stones.
Given my current earning capability, I can barely afford it.
Luo feng frowned slightly. There wasn't much room for improvement with Fireball Talismans anymore. He could consider learning how to draw other Talismans.
Especially the Spirit Shield Talisman. As one of the few defensive Talismans among Low Grade Rank One Talismans, it sold for two Spirit Stones. If he could learn it, his income would instantly double!
Moreover, he could also use it himself normally.
"Hmm, I've decided. From now on, I'll draw four Fireball Talismans every day, and use the remaining two to practice drawing other Talismans."
After determining his future Cultivation plan, Luo feng began practicing the Water Bullet Technique. He condensed and activated it, and instantly, a deep hole appeared on the ground.
The water bullets condensed by his Water Bullet Technique were getting smaller and smaller, and their color had deepened slightly.
When they hit the ground, they condensed without scattering. If they hit a cultivator, most Low Grade Spells probably wouldn't be able to block them.
After a few more days of practice, it should reach Perfection, becoming the second Spell in Luo feng's hands to reach the Perfection Rank.
As for the Light Body Technique, it had also reached Perfection Rank a few days ago, condensing a wind rune in his mind. He didn't know if this was normal.
However, after condensing the wind rune, casting the Light Body Technique was almost instantaneous, and the effect was extremely significant. He felt his body was like a feather.
With a light leap, he could cover five meters. With the enhancement of the Light Body Technique, very few Early Qi Refinement Stage cultivators should be able to catch up to him, unless they, like him, had mastered a Perfection Rank Spell.
Early the next morning, after Luo feng finished practicing Luohan Fist, he opened his courtyard gate, intending to go to South Street to see if there were any suitable defensive Talismans.
Just then, a female cultivator with a beautiful appearance, accompanied by a seven or eight-year-old girl, walked out of the neighboring courtyard.
Upon seeing Luo feng, she smiled and greeted him, "Fellow Daoist, you truly are a diligent cultivator. After all this time, this is the first time I've met you."
Luo feng gave an awkward smile, "No, no, I just don't like going out."
"By the way, Fellow Daoist, you'd best be careful recently. I've noticed someone seems to be constantly in this vicinity, likely targeting you," the female cultivator reminded him before leaving with the little girl.
"Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist. I will certainly be more careful," Luo feng thanked the female cultivator solemnly. Being able to remind him was already a rare act of kindness.
However, his own perception was indeed correct; someone had indeed been following him recently.
No, I must buy more protective Talismans.
He had already left, but he turned back, took out some more Spirit Stones from his room.
He now had approximately 30 Spirit Stones in total. He took out 10 Spirit Stones to purchase protective Talismans, and the remaining twenty should be enough for daily use.
Currently, his daily consumption of Spirit Stones was about two Spirit Stones.
The main expenses were Spirit Rice and Spirit Cleansing Pills. As the Rank of Luohan Fist increased, his appetite also grew significantly.
One catty of Spirit Sprout Rice could basically only last about two or three days.
After preparing his Spirit Stones, Luo feng headed straight for the shops in the market.
The female cultivator's words made him feel somewhat anxious, and a sense of insecurity once again enveloped his heart.
"Do you have any defensive Talismans that can withstand a Middle Stage Qi Refining cultivator that you would recommend?" Luo feng asked the maid in the shop.
"We have quite a few defensive Talismans here. Among Rank One Medium Grade Talismans, the Vajra Talisman is a good choice. It's quite affordable at 8 Spirit Stones per Talisman.
A Middle Stage Qi Refinement cultivator would find it difficult to break through within ten moves, unless they use a Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact," the maid, dressed in a green long dress, said with a smile.
"Can it be cheaper?"
"I'm sorry, our shop only sells high-quality Talismans and does not accept bargaining. Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist."
"Then give me two Vajra Talismans."
After paying the Spirit Stones, Luo feng left the shop with two Vajra Talismans.
He gave a wry smile, not expecting his first attempt at bargaining to fail. He had chosen the wrong target; how could he succeed bargaining in a large shop?
However, with two Vajra Talismans on him, he immediately felt much safer.
He also walked with more confidence on the street.
Upon returning to his residence, Luo feng took out the Vajra Talisman and carefully observed it.
It had many golden lines, and the Spell fluctuations were much stronger than those of Low Grade Rank One Talismans like the Fireball Talisman.
It's a pity his Cultivation was not high enough yet to draw Rank One Medium Grade Talismans.
Otherwise, with a dozen Vajra Talismans in hand, an ordinary Middle Stage Qi Refinement cultivator would definitely be helpless against him.
Four days later, in the middle of the night, two people stealthily arrived at the corner of the wall of Luo feng's residence.
"Are you sure that Talisman Master lives here?"
"Don't worry, big brother. I've been watching him for a long time. These past few days, he's probably earned a lot of Spirit Stones just from selling Talismans, and his Cultivation is only Qi Refining Stage Two.
He's practically a fat sheep among fat sheep. If we don't act quickly, someone else will get to him first."
"Alright, let's move quickly. It'll be troublesome if we alert the market's law enforcement cultivators."
The two stealthily climbed over the courtyard wall.
They slowly avoided the traps Luo feng had set in the courtyard.
"This Talisman Master is really interesting, actually using mortal traps to deal with cultivators. Doesn't he know that after Qi Refining Stage 4, one gains Divine Sense?" one of the cultivators sneered.
Just then, a whooshing sound came, and the cultivator who had just spoken instantly fell down.
"Big brother!" the remaining cultivator exclaimed in shock.
He then tried to escape, but Luo feng's perception was astonishing. Although he didn't have Divine Sense, he could accurately pinpoint the location of the two.
A dark blue Water Bullet Technique instantly killed him.
After doing all this, Luo feng took out the Soul Gathering Banner and collected the Primordial Spirits of the two.
Luo feng, who was about to search the bodies, suddenly felt another person appear on his courtyard wall.
What was terrifying was that he had no idea when this person had appeared. Instantly, a Water Bullet Technique shot towards him.
The person lightly waved his sword, and the Water Bullet Technique Luo feng had unleashed vanished without a trace.
"Your Water Bullet Technique is quite good. I am Wang Songjiang from next door. Hearing the commotion, I originally intended to assist Fellow Daoist, but I didn't expect Fellow Daoist to resolve it himself, which indeed surprised me."
"I'll take my leave."
He then vanished from the top of the wall.
