More than 30 red lights in the air turned into three-foot-long fire snakes, then quickly gathered and entwined, finally converging into a water bucket-sized, over one-meter-long, vivid fire python. The python's fist-sized bright red eyes kept rolling around, while its mouth continuously spat out two-foot-long flames.

  The fire python formed by more than thirty fire snake talismans was already the limit of the number of talismans that Zhao Di could control at once.

  Facing the white-clothed youth whose power far surpassed that of an ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivator, Zhao Di didn't dare to hold back and immediately used his most powerful attack.

  The silver small sword also brought shocking spiritual pressure, rushing into the sky, the sound of the silver sword breaking through the air was like the Nine Heavens Dragon's roar.

  One sword and one python, rushed straight towards the young man in white!

  "Top-grade artifact!" The young man in white finally lost his composure, revealing an exaggerated look of astonishment. He quickly changed his slow and gentle movements, swiftly pulling out a yellow beast skin the size of a palm, adorned with strange symbols, and rapidly chanting a few incantations before slapping the skin onto his body!

  A deep yellow, thick and substantial light halo emerged from the beast skin, enveloping the white-clothed youth inside.

  "Huang Tian Hou Tu Fu! This is a defensive power super strong foundation period symbol!" Zhao Di exclaimed.

  As a self-proclaimed immortal cultivator, even if he had never seen the extremely expensive foundation-establishing talismans before, he had already read about them in various classics. Therefore, Zhao Di immediately recognized the true identity of the beast skin.

  At this time, the silver sword and fire python also attacked one after another. With a loud roar, the fire python exploded into red lights in the yellow light and dissipated into nothingness. The silver sword was also blocked by the yellow light and could not move forward at all.

  However, the yellow light shield was also not completely undamaged, its light had weakened by more than half. If it continued to resist the pressure of this silver sword, it would obviously not last for long.

  Zhao Di did not continue to manipulate the silver small sword to attack the yellow light shield, but instead retracted it. Immediately afterwards, his right hand flipped over and he took out a thick red talisman.

  The peerless treasure was too powerful for his current cultivation, and just that one full-force strike had almost consumed half of his spiritual energy. In the face of such a formidable opponent, how could he dare to exhaust his spiritual energy at the very beginning of the fierce battle!

  With the talismans, he's not afraid anymore, and they don't consume much of his own spiritual power. He's determined to use up all the talismans in his storage bag to kill this mysterious white-clothed youth on the spot!

  The young man in white was already stunned after seeing Zhao's first wave of attack, and his mouth had been wide open. When he saw the opponent take out dozens of talismans again, he was a bit speechless!

  What kind of person is this! Is he a 12th-level Qi Refining cultivator? Even a Foundation Establishment initial-stage cultivator shouldn't be so wealthy, right?! This isn't just a casual toss of a few mid-grade spirit stones, it's like he's throwing out a whole batch of them! Could it be that the other party has also been bestowed with a large number of treasures by an elder in the Core Formation stage? Or is the other party actually a direct disciple of some Core Formation old monster? That's not possible either, if they could get involved with a Core Formation old monster, would they still need to come here to search for treasure and exchange it for Foundation Establishment Dan?!

  For a moment, the young man in white thought of countless ideas, and he was even more interested in the twelve-story cultivator in front of him. The other party's family background is probably much richer than he imagined! If that's the case, then his choice to kill people and steal treasures in the valley instead of completing a certain dangerous task assigned by the sect is really extremely wise. Thinking of this, the young man in white couldn't help but feel a little proud again.

  He didn't pay attention to the second fire python that condensed again, but instead took out a yellowed talisman from his bosom, on which were drawn several symbols and a vivid yellow small knife that seemed to jump off the paper.

  His eyes revealed an unwillingness to part, as he tossed the yellow talisman paper in front of him, his hands constantly changing gestures, and the spiritual power of the spell was frantically transmitted into the talisman paper.

  The seemingly ordinary talisman, after absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy, became radiant. Especially the small yellow knife drawn on it was jumping non-stop, and at any moment it might leap out of the talisman.

  "Token of treasure!" Zhao Di recognized the origin of the yellow small knife and that unremarkable token paper, his heart sank once again.

  What is referred to as a "symbol treasure" is a very special symbol that can only be prepared by a cultivator in the Dan-forming period, which combines the methods of symbol preparation and talismanic refining to refine it. It falls between symbols and talismans and possesses some characteristics of both.

  Having obtained the law treasure of the Congealing Dan period cultivator, they can use part of their own law treasure's might and apply it to the talisman through complex methods, sealing it within the talisman, allowing the talisman to possess some of its law treasure's power, thus forming what is called a talismanic treasure. Every time a talismanic treasure is refined, regardless of success or failure, the cultivator's own law treasure will suffer great damage and often needs to be re-refined with dan fire for dozens of years before it can recover. Therefore, the value of talismanic treasures lies above that of top-grade law artifacts.

  Cultivators who possess talismans, even if they only have Qi Refining stage cultivation, can use talismans just like using talismanic scrolls and unleash the partial divine might of the talismans sealed within.

  Although generally speaking, the talisman can only exert less than one-tenth of the power of a magic treasure, this is already a very terrifying strength for foundation-building cultivators and below. Therefore, many golden core cultivators, when their lifespan is approaching its end, often do not hesitate to consume the power of the magic treasure itself, refining a few talismans to leave to their juniors as a trump card to save their lives.

  Unlike ordinary talismans, using a Spirit Treasure requires the wielder to infuse it with an enormous amount of spiritual energy in order to unleash its sealed power. Ordinary talismans, on the other hand, consume their own spiritual energy.

  Like the Fu Ruo, the Fu Bao is also a consumable item. Each use will consume some of the sealed power within it. Once all the sealed power is depleted, the Fu Bao will self-ignite and turn to ashes.

  Such a precious consumable, no wonder the young man in white was so reluctant to use it. But he still chose to use it, which also shows that he must have Zhao Di. Moreover, with Zhao Di's mid-grade spiritual instrument Ice Shield and his extreme-grade silver sword, ordinary attacks would not be effective anyway!

  Just as the white-clothed youth was continuously channeling his spiritual energy into the talisman, Zhao Di's second stack of Fire Snake Talismans transformed into a massive fire python that attacked the yellow light shield. After a burst of red light and a loud explosion, although the second fire python had completely disappeared, the yellow light shield also began to tremble, appearing precarious.

  "Alas, to have killed you just like that, it's a bit of a pity! You're the first cultivator who made me use my Spirit Treasure. I didn't expect that you would be a cultivator with only 12 layers of Qi Refining." The white-clothed youth said softly, it was unclear whether he was speaking to Zhao Di or just muttering to himself.

  At this time, he was already pale and his spiritual power had been consumed too much, but under the cover of Huang Tian Houtu symbol, he completed the preparation work of transmitting the spiritual power of the symbol treasure, and triggered the mighty power of the symbol treasure.

  A delicate, extremely short, semi-transparent yellow dagger, only a few inches long, floated quietly in front of the young man in white, and anyone who saw it would know that it was no ordinary object. Several strands of extremely gorgeous yellow light flowed and fluttered on the surface of the knife, emitting a clear and pleasant sound like the chirping of a phoenix, and a very terrifying spiritual power fluctuation surged out from the small knife one after another.

  Zhao Di's heart was hanging by a thread, he held the crystal ice shield and silver small sword in front of him, his eyes staring unblinkingly at the yellow small knife that made him feel on the verge of despair, even his breathing had temporarily stopped.

  At this moment, the young man in white finally pointed his hand at the yellow dagger and lightly touched it. The dagger flew towards Zhao without any hurry or pause.

  Zhao Di, who had long been prepared, finally manipulated the silver small sword and flew towards Huang.

  After both sides had transported a great deal of spiritual power, the silver small sword released a layer of several inches long silver light, wrapping its body in it; while the talisman dagger was also shrouded in a layer of yellow light.

  Two things are unimaginable for ordinary Qi-refining disciples, possessing enormous might and treasures, are gradually approaching.

  What will happen after all? As a top-grade treasure sword, the silver small sword may or may not be able to withstand the yellow small knife that is a symbol of good fortune. Zhao Di didn't know either.
