Chapter 506 - Returning the Favor (Asking for Subscription)

Shang Xia sang talismans in the talisman hall, and thirty-five fourth-order talisman papers were made into eleven talismans, a total of fourteen.

Although a few days have passed, everything that happened in the Fu Hall that day is still talked about by everyone in the academy, and even circulated as an anecdote in Tongyun City.

Among the fourteen talismans, Shang Xia, the eight inheritance of the Fu Hall, would naturally leave one each.

However, whether it was Fu Tang or Shang Xia, or the many martial artists above the third order who were present that day, they all knew that with the fourteen fourth-order rune papers provided by Fu Tang alone, he would not be able to achieve eight runes no matter what.

Shang Xia was dazzling this time, although he also owed a lot of favors, but when he left the eight martial talismans in the Fu Hall for the Fu Master to refer to and study, in fact, he also transferred some of the favors to Fu Tang.

This point is tacitly understood by everyone, Fu Tang has gained the greatest benefit, and there will be no opinion either.

However, after Fu Tang sang the talisman, the aftermath of the incident continued, and it was time for Shang Xia to return the favor.

At this time, he still had six fourth-order martial talismans in his hand, including two "Linyuan Breaking Void Talismans", one each of the "Golden Yang Flame Talisman", "Thousand Yang Sword Talisman", "Yuansha Thunder Talisman", and "Wandering Spirit Shield Talisman".

In addition, there are still some second- and third-order martial talismans that he used to practice before he started to make fourth-order martial talismans.

Aside from the fourteen fourth-order rune papers that Fu Tang had raised for him at the beginning, the remaining twenty-one rune papers came from various sources.

At that time, when he had gathered so many rune papers, Shang Xia even suspected that it was not the fourth-order rune papers that had been accumulated in the entire Youzhou for many years had already been swept away by him this time.

Looking at the list of sources of the twenty-one fourth-order rune papers, Shang Xia gave back according to the method of taking one of the three runes after thinking about it secretly.

If there are less than three fourth-order rune papers, two third-order martial talismans will be used as the price of each rune paper to compensate.

After having a plan in his heart, Shang Xia first took a "Thousand Yang Sword Talisman" and personally went to the main hall of the Warehousing Division to visit Liu Zhiyuan, the head of the Liu family.

Although in order to expel the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and advocate Haogu's influence in Futang, Liu Zhiyuan and Zhang Haogu fought in Futang and almost involved Shang Xia.

But Shang Xia finally succeeded in transcending these disputes with his own strength, and finally ended with Liu Zhiyuan's initiative to show goodwill, and even the three fourth-order rune papers sent by Liu Zhiyuan were originally a manifestation of goodwill.

However, things can't be said like this after all, even if the identities and status of the two parties in Tongyou Academy are discarded, the Shang and Liu families are still two of the four major families in Tongyou City, and they are still in the same breath on the surface. This relationship still needs to be maintained by both parties at the same time.

Shang Xia's visit was warmly received by Liu Zhiyuan, and the "Thousand Yang Sword Talisman" was presented at the end, and after some prevarication, the two sides finally enjoyed the guests.

After that, Shang Xia went to visit the Ji family again and presented a "Golden Sun Fire Talisman" as a thank you gift.

Shang Xia's last visit was to the Yun family, and the Yun family sent Shang Xia four fourth-order rune papers before, and his return gift was a "Linyuan Breaking Void Talisman", plus two third-order martial talismans made by himself.

After visiting these three families, the rest of Shang Xia didn't need to go in person every time, but sent someone to offer his thanks.

Although the third-order martial runes are far from being comparable to the fourth-order martial runes, according to Shang Xia's fourth-order rune paper returning two third-order martial runes, and three fourth-order rune papers giving back a fourth-order martial rune, one fourth-order martial rune is almost equivalent to six third-order martial runes. The ratio of this exchange can also be regarded as a conscience price, after all, for most non-fourfold heavenly martial artists, what can be solved with a third-order martial talisman is simply a tyrannical thing to throw a fourth-order martial talisman over.

Moreover, the fourth-order martial talisman is simply a one-shot deal, but with a few third-order martial talismans in his hand, he can use them many times.

Of course, if the opponent is tough and life and death, that's a different story.

However, Shang Xia didn't all use third-order martial talismans to give thanks.

Gai Qingzhu, who is now sitting in the Two Realms War Domain, although he only sent Shang Xia two fourth-order rune papers, he first helped Shang Xia raise the spiritual materials needed for the advanced potion "Four Seasons and Four Scenes Reincarnation Brew", and then gave Shang Xia a lotus root that could replace the injured, especially the latter, which was the key to Shang Xia's later escape from the hands of the fifth-order ancestor Feng Yezi.

In this regard, Shang Xia directly sent the most powerful "Yuan Sha Guiding Thunder Talisman" among the remaining fourth-order martial talismans, and Shang Tai, the uncle of the Tuo clan, made a special trip to Gai Qingzhu's hands after entering the two realms battle domain.

The other is that the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion advocates good antiquity, this old gentleman has a lot of guidance and support for Shang Xia, and Shang Xia naturally knows how to repay the favor with a peach, and sent a "wandering spirit shield talisman" to the past.

Originally, Shang Xia and Changfeng City Lord Bu Jingshuang were also considered to have forgotten the New Year's Friendship, and this time Bu Jingshuang also sent two fourth-order rune papers, but Shang Xia did not plan to send the last fourth-order martial talisman out.

First, Shang Xia was reluctant to give away this last fourth-order martial talisman, and second, compared with Gai Qingzhu and Zhang Haogu, Shang Xia not only did not owe Bu Jingshuang a favor, but the latter owed him a great favor.

Because if it really comes to who the position of Changfeng City Lord belongs, Shang Xia is definitely more qualified than Bu Jingshuang.

It can even be said unceremoniously that this position of Changfeng City Lord was originally given to him by Shang Xia.

Therefore, Shang Xia was just the uncle of the Tuo clan, Shang Quan, and when the family caravan passed through Changfeng City, he presented four third-order martial talismans to express his heart.

As for Ren Huan, not to mention, with the friendship between the two of them, it doesn't take a few talismans to maintain it at all.

After some operation, the fruits of your labor for most of the year in Shang Xia are only the last "Linyuan Breaking Void Talisman", as well as some second- and third-order martial talismans left before.

As for why Shang Xia simply left only one "Linyuan Breaking Void Talisman", it was because Shang Xia had not figured out the true origin of this talisman until now.

Don't look at Shang Xia's "Linyuan Breaking Void Talisman" has been made more than once, but he always thinks that there may be something hidden behind this talisman.

He even had an intuition that if he could figure out what was hidden behind the "Linyuan Breaking Void Talisman", he might be able to really find the direction of the fifth-order martial talisman "Linyuan Feng Void Fu", which was in the same vein as this talisman, and then the fifth-order martial talisman grand master would open the door to Shang Xia.

It's a pity that so far, Shang Xia still has no clue about this.

He thought to himself that maybe the problem was on the rune paper that carried the "Linyuan Breaking Void Talisman".

Although this "Linyuan Breaking Void Talisman" was made by Shang Xia with a special fourth-order Linyuan rune ink, the rune paper used was still one of the thirty-five rune papers that everyone had pieced together before, not a special fourth-order Linyuan rune paper.

It's just that the rune hall that has been hollowed out by Shang Xia at one time may not even be able to provide fourth-order rune paper in a short period of time, let alone the specially made Linyuan rune paper.

Shang Xia had been in retreat in the Xuan Realm for more than half a year this time, and it seemed that most of the results had been sent out by him, and he himself suffered a great loss.

But in fact, for Shang Xia himself, this significant improvement in talisman making techniques is real.

Moreover, in this process, Shang Xia still made great progress in other directions.

For example, his self-created martial arts technique "Four Seasons Reincarnation Gong" has been further improved, and it is not far from Dacheng.

In addition, his own cultivation strength has also improved to a certain extent.

Although the progress is not obvious, after the cultivation reaches the Four Heavens, the improvement of the martial artist's cultivation has slowed down greatly, and the slightest improvement that can be perceived can be called gratifying.

Moreover, although the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi contained in the Xuan Realm was not enough to attract the "Four Square Monuments" to devour, it could play a role in Shang Xia's further deduction of the "Twenty-four Solar Terms Divine Sword" in the cultivation process.

In addition, there is one thing that has been learned, and that is the study of sigils.

Although Shang Xia's progress on this point was not great, it did not mean that he had not gained anything at all.

At least the seal carved by him using the knife stone can really stamp the rune of the next order martial talisman on the rune paper.

It's just that the shelf life of the seal is extremely short, and it won't take long, and as the internal essence overflows, the rune seal loses its effectiveness, and it really doesn't have much practicality.

Not long after Shang Xia had just engaged in a "benefit equalization" and scattered most of the martial arts talismans in his hand, Liu Zhiyuan and Zhang Haogu came to the door together.

In the case of the collective "disappearance" of the high-level leaders of the academy, these two have been quite open and secretly fighting in the academy recently.

Of course, it was mainly Liu Zhiyuan who took the initiative to provoke disputes and try to deepen his influence in the academy.

Now that these two actually came en masse, Shang Xia was a little flattered, and at the same time, he also realized something.

"The mountain chief has passed on the news, and you should rush to the Outer Sky Dome as soon as possible!"

Liu Zhiyuan got straight to the point as soon as he came up, and his tone sounded very solemn.

Just looking at Zhang Haogu's expression on the side, Shang Xia knew the importance of this matter.

So Shang Xia asked directly, "When are you leaving?"

Zhang Haogu said: "Now, go to the Xuan Realm!"

Shang Xia didn't ask how to go to the Outer Heavens, and immediately got up and followed the two of them to the Xuan Realm.

Moreover, after coming out of the quiet room of the Fu Hall, Shang Xia noticed that Liu Zhiyuan directly took action to hide the figures of the three of them, and no one noticed them along the way.

Kou Chongxue's order came just right, just after Shang Xia completed the production of the fourth-order martial talisman, if it was not deliberate, Shang Xia himself didn't believe it.

After re-entering the Xuan Realm, Shang Xia found that the two had led him to a strange place.

Zhang Haogu casually explained on the side: "There are also regional divisions within the Xuan Realm, but unlike the four major regional divisions of the Coral Forest Xuan Realm, the space inside the Xuan Realm is much larger, and it is distributed in a pyramid-shaped three-dimensional manner. ”

"The current plan for the bottom layer is to be divided into three areas, mainly for the cultivation of the academy's third-order martial artists. Because the third-order martial talisman could not yet touch the origin qi of heaven and earth, the three areas of the lower layer were mainly dominated by abundant heaven and earth vitality. ”

"The middle layer is for the four heavenly martial artists of the academy, and it is mainly divided into two parts, one part is used for retreat cultivation, and the other part is used for making martial talismans, mixing potions, deducing formations, forging weapons, etc. In the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi here, there is the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi mixed in it, which is used by the fourth-order martial artists for cultivation, deduction, and enlightenment. ”
