When he was drawing, Mo Zi Chen stared at him without blinking, but Yu Wei's movements were too fast and had completely exceeded her understanding. She looked at the yellow paper painting, winding and twisting, like a big talisman, with spiritual energy flowing on it. All the meridians eventually converged to one point, which was the last stroke of Yu Wei's brush. She thought to herself: So what the talisman makers said is true - the world's spiritual energy gathers at the tip of the pen, and the infinite sharpness condenses into a single point.
Yu Wei's performance is also a kind of technique for controlling talismans. The so-called method of controlling talismans does not refer only to drawing talismans, but rather responding to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with one heart, quickly forming a chapter, and thus guiding people. This was originally the means by which masters of controlling talismans stirred up the magnificent energy of heaven and earth. Moreover, Yu Wei's technique is indeed very effective at shocking people's hearts.
Mo Zi Chen couldn't help but think to himself, listening to him say that the Tai Hua clan excelled in these miscellaneous studies, he wondered if his own unknown-named master would know such things.
After everyone had seen this talisman, it suddenly caught fire and burned itself out in an instant.
At the place indicated by Yu Wei, on the highest peak in the east. There are still dozens of miles to go from here, but this short distance will not be underestimated by them.
The mountain road ahead was rugged and thorny, and Ji You flew in with a smile: "My brother will show off some small skills, don't laugh at him."
He flicked his sleeve, and two golden pellets appeared in his palm. His fingers danced with a spell, and he solemnly shouted: "Swift!" In the sky, there seemed to be two faint flashes of lightning passing by. The two golden pellets in his palm suddenly burst open, transforming into two golden sword lights, each over ten feet long. In an instant, they illuminated the dark night sky as bright as daybreak. The thorns and weeds in front, as well as the rugged rocks, were all swept away. Their four bodies seemed to be lifted by a force, slowly rising and flying towards the highest mountain peak.
Wei Zandao said, "Brother Ji is indeed the most outstanding among us younger generation of disciples. Although he still can't fly through the air, this one move of 'Lingxu Feidu' is enough to surpass everyone else."
For a general cultivator, by the time they reach the Foundation Establishment stage, they can already control flying magical instruments. By the time they reach the Golden Core stage, the miscellaneous energies inside their body have been cleared out, and they can even fly without relying on magical instruments, directly soaring through the skies. Ji You's foundation was solid, so flying shouldn't be a problem, but cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage couldn't bring people with them when flying. Therefore, he didn't summon his flying magical instrument, instead using some small tricks to assist him.
Ji Youfei just smiled and didn't seem to care, and Yu Wei said: "Then I'll also come and help out a bit." He pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve, blew on it lightly, and it turned into a yellow crane made of paper that flew outwards. As it met the wind, it grew longer and transformed into a large bird with two wings spread wide, several dozen feet in size, carrying the four people as they swayed back and forth and flew upwards.
Ji Xue's face was no longer icy, but slightly smiling, occasionally glancing at Mo Zi Chen, as if to see what she was capable of. However, Mo Zi Chen remained calm and composed, closing her eyes to meditate, treating Ji Xue's sidelong glances as if they didn't exist.
It only took about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, and everyone flew to the top of the mountain. Ji Youfei put away the two golden pellets, while Yu Wei's talisman was blown away by the wind after exhausting its spiritual energy.
Four people fell to the ground, Mo Zi Chen said: "There is an ancient temple here!"
The place where they were located was the highest peak in the entire Lingshan mountain range, but strangely, the Lingshan mountain was thousands of miles around, and most places were lush with grass and trees. Only here was it barren and treeless, as if it had been burned by fire, and some places even exposed black rocks.
The top of the peak is not large, only about half a mile in circumference, but it is extremely flat. In the center, there stands an ancient temple, which looks very dilapidated. The temple has three halls, with only half of the gate closed, and the main hall can be vaguely seen inside. Even the beams have collapsed by half, and cobwebs are densely entwined. It seems that no one has lived here for a long time.
Ji Xue said with some doubt: "Yu Wei, you won't have mistaken the place, will you? Look around here, does it seem like a place where a monster would come?"
Yu Wei also found it strange, shook his head and said: "When I was making the talisman, I felt that the spiritual energy fluctuation here was the strongest. Following the spiritual vein to form the talisman, there shouldn't be any mistake. Unless someone used an array of dust to disturb my spiritual energy. But it shouldn't be..."
Ji Xue turned her head and looked at Mo Zi Chen: "Miss Mo is a disciple of Jiuhua, I don't know if you can see it, but are there any traces of an array here?"
Mo Zi Chen smiled slightly and said: "I believe Brother Yu. This ancient temple must be strange!"
Ji Xue saw her mysterious and profound appearance, and couldn't help but feel stifled.
At this time, Ji You flew a glance at her and said: "Little sister, don't be rash! How about this, I'll go in first to explore, you three will guard outside, if there's any movement, call me immediately."
He nodded: "This is also good." He took out two talismans from his bosom and handed them over, "Brother Ji, this is a golden talisman, you take it to protect yourself. If there's any danger, it will alert us immediately. We'll go in to assist you." Then he took out a white paper and pressed it on his back, "This is a telepathic talisman, with this talisman, we can grasp your position at any time."
Ji Xue said somewhat nervously: "Big brother, be careful!"
Ji You flew towards them and nodded, then walked into the ancient temple. His footsteps were firm, without any hesitation or looking back.
Three people were standing outside, it was already midnight, but there was no moon on top of their heads, just a pitch black.
Yu Wei frowned and said, "Don't you think this place is a bit strange?" He stretched out his hand to point outside, "Look, everywhere else has moonlight shining down, but only here is pitch black."
These Taoist priests have exceptionally good eyesight, and from their lofty height they can see at least a hundred miles away. Under the veil of night, the Lingshan Mountain is tranquil and peaceful, except for the patch of sky above them, which seems to be shrouded by dark clouds that come from nowhere.
Ji Xue said: "The yin energy here is very heavy, greatly different from other places." She raised the sword scabbard at her waist, "Even my Li Huo Sword is somewhat suppressed."
Mo Zi Chen didn't say a word, she just felt her heart racing nonstop. The little creature hidden in the leather pouch at her waist kept poking its head out and rubbing against her arm. She was getting impatient and pressed down on its head with her hand, "Stop moving around!"
At the corner of his eye, he saw Tiao's appearance and smiled: "Mo Niang also has a hobby, actually raising such a spiritual beast." From Tiao's body, he didn't see any spirituality at all, probably the young girl just liked its looks and raised it as a pet.
Ji Xue hummed softly and turned her head away, clearly disdaining Mo Zi Chen's idle and elegant demeanor.
Tou Tou was pressed on the head by Mo Zi Chen and couldn't help but shout loudly. Just as Mo Zi Chen was about to speak, he suddenly heard a loud roar coming from within the ancient temple. Ji Xue shouted: "It's my older brother!"
At the same time, the white token in Yu Wei's palm suddenly ignited with a "whoosh" and turned into flying ash in an instant.
