Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman-Chapter 138 - 108: Senior Witch, Memory Wand Upgrade!
Chapter 138: Chapter 108: Senior Witch, Memory Wand Upgrade!
Shanawati’s performance with her talismans was remarkable.
It made Su Ping feel as if he had truly stumbled upon a treasure.
It also gave Su Ping a bit of confidence in his role as a teacher.
Under his guidance, Shanawati could now draw low-grade First Tier talismans so well and so quickly.
With just a little more investment, Su Ping believed that mid-grade and top-grade First Tier talismans could also be successfully created soon.
After all, as long as it wasn’t a breakthrough to the Second Layer, theoretically, all First Tier talismans could be drawn successfully with Qi Cultivation mana.
Moreover, performing talisman painting and alchemy in an environment like the Pot Cave Heaven, with high concentration of Spiritual Energy, had one advantage—fast mana recovery for cultivators.
Unlike the past, when Su Ping, laboring in the Outer Sect of the Immortal Sect, had to meditate for a long time to recover after depleting his mana.
It happened that during this time Su Ping had tried his luck a few times with ten consecutive draws, though he didn’t get anything particularly useful.
However, he did gain a few companions of ordinary quality, like the Spirit Summoning Civet cat.
Looking over at how well Little Taoist Zhouxuan was cooperating with the Spirit Summoning Civet cat,
Su Ping decided to reward Shanawati as well.
After taking on the form of the Rat Taoist,
Su Ping approached the doorway of Shanawati’s hut.
Just as she was about to take a short rest and then start her projected lessons, Shanawati sensed the noise at the door and quickly ran out.
She respectfully bowed to the Rat Taoist under the black cloak.
After the Qi Refining entered her body, Shanawati gradually realized that she was not serving the kind of Ghostly God that Grandpa Tap had described.
Yet, Shanawati did not neglect her duties and felt that her current master was even more mysterious and powerful than the Ghostly Gods Grandpa Tap had spoken of!
Su Ping left a companion for Shanawati:
A Lamp Spirit of ordinary quality.
This servant was somewhat similar to the genies of myth, although it was a bit smaller in stature, blue-skinned, and only one meter tall.
Nonetheless, it was strong and could help Shanawati with chores like cooking without any problem.
The key point was that it could talk. Despite being somewhat slow, it was just what Shanawati needed to help with training.
If properly trained, perhaps this Lamp Spirit could eventually become a teacher for Basic Tao and Talismans?
In the end, Shanawati was still a little girl, and she couldn’t help but laugh happily upon receiving the Lamp Spirit.
It was only afterward that she realized she had lost her composure and knelt down again to give thanks.
Su Ping collected the successful talismans and left more materials behind, offering a few words of encouragement.
He also made a promise that once she slowly gained the ability to protect herself through her talisman painting, she would be allowed to return home to visit her family.
This undoubtedly struck a chord in Shanawati’s vulnerable heart.
Unlike Little Taoist Zhouxuan, who was wholly devoted to cultivating the Tao,
Shanawati, who had been somewhat reluctantly introduced to this lifestyle, although instinctively liking her life in Pot Cave Heaven, still missed her mother very much.
Su Ping returned to the Moonlight Listening Wind Pavilion.
After taking a bath and lighting incense, he specifically sought out Sakura, who had now officially become a Fox-faced Witch, and asked her to bless him.
Then, Su Ping sat cross-legged on the grass in the front courtyard and began this week’s series of ten consecutive draws!
His first ten consecutive draws didn’t start off with a bang; he only obtained a special structure known as the Music Tower.
This structure had but one purpose—to fill the entire Pot Cave Heaven with background music that had been set.
Su Ping looked at it and casually placed it beside the Moonlight Listening Wind Pavilion, right where the Bone Burying Ground used to be.
After washing his hands, Su Ping started another ten consecutive draws.
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.
Whoosh!
This time, astonishingly, two purple glows appeared.
This made Su Ping let out a sigh of relief, thankful that it wasn’t just the guaranteed minimum.
[Large Spirit Light Fish Pond, special structure, quality: Rare, exclusive to Pot Cave Heaven, allows for the rearing of up to ten special Spirit Fish and slightly enhances their effects]
[Apprentice Fox-faced Witch, companion, quality: Rare, exclusive to Pot Cave Heaven, upgradable]
Seeing this harvest, Su Ping felt his prayers had been effective.
He had managed to obtain two immediately usable rare quality items!
The Large Spirit Light Fish Pond would enable the rearing of ten Spirit Fish, so he wouldn’t have to worry about space in the Spirit Pond for a while.
Chi Wen, the Big Black, could also move to a larger place, no longer needing to always rest at the bottom.
As for the Apprentice Fox-faced Witch,
Well, with that, Fox-faced Witch Sakura had become the second biggest beneficiary, next to Su Ping himself.
She could advance again!
Su Ping immediately chose to use it.
The Large Spirit Pond appeared on the mountain near the Bone Burying Ground.
Fox-faced Witch Sakura exclaimed in surprise, feeling once again favored by fate.
She was promoted from official witch to senior witch.
Her blessing ability was further strengthened,
And she gained a new innate skill: the Thunder Light Fox Talisman.
According to Witch Sakura’s demonstration,
She could now produce three Thunder Light Fox Talismans a day, which could be stored for a long time after being made.
These talismans could summon a Thunder Light Fox made of lightning elements that would last for half a two-hour period.
This Thunder Light Fox, a creature made of elements, though only the size of an adult fox, had sharp teeth and claws and could unleash powerful thunderbolt attacks on enemies.
Additionally, when facing tough opponents, it could sacrifice duration for a big move, calling down a bolt of Heavenly Thunder to strike its adversary.
The actual combat power of the Thunder Light Fox was closely related to Witch Sakura’s cultivation level.
Thus, Su Ping immediately rushed to the Travel Shop.
Under the watchful and delighted gaze of the new cat merchant, he bought all the Experience Books in the shop and then kept giving them to Witch Sakura.
Seconds later, Witch Sakura’s presence reached that of Qi Cultivation Perfection, equivalent to First Tier Perfection.
She was just shy of meeting the breakthrough requirement to ascend to the Second Tier!
That would be achieving the realm of Foundation Establishment, becoming a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!
Su Ping quickly looked at the breakthrough requirement.
[Senior Fox-faced Witch Sakura, level: First Tier Perfection, ready to break through]
[Breakthrough Requirements: Little Green Fish: 50, Big Bluefish: 10, Any One Rare Fish: 1]
“Any rare fish?”
Su Ping looked at the Green Spirit Fish in the Spirit Light Fish Pond.
After some thought, he felt it was a difficult decision, given the Green Spirit Fish were related to the concentration of Spiritual Energy in the Pot Cave Heaven, and the other fish each had their important uses.
Especially the Red Blood Rainbow Carp and the Flowing Pattern Golden Dragon Fish, which could directly augment one’s power, he could not pass up consuming them.
“Still, having the Foundation Establishment ace up my sleeve is more important, the Thunder Light Fox Curse can be taken out and used, its value is greater!”
Su Ping gritted his teeth and chose to take out a Green Spirit Fish for the breakthrough.
Immediately, the concentration of Spiritual Energy in the Pot Cave Heaven dropped.
It fell back to: [Current Pot Cave Heaven Level: 1st Level (90/100)]
Fortunately, the benefits of a level breakthrough wouldn’t be retracted, and he wouldn’t need to perform the breakthrough task again once he got more Green Spirit Fish.
“Awooo!”
Breakthrough conditions completed.
A bolt of Thunder Light descended from the sky, striking the Fox-faced Witch who was watching from the doorway, causing her to let out a startled yelp.
Immediately she found herself qualitatively enhanced under the Thunder Light!
Behind her, an Illusion of a Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox formed from Thunder Light appeared, giving Su Ping a slightly sinister glance before diving into Sakura, the Fox-faced Witch.
It made a faint purple Thunder Light Fox pattern appear on her forehead, which was covered by the Fox Face.
The next moment, Sakura exuded the prestige of a Second Tier existence.
Luckily, Sakura quickly adapted to the new power, suppressing the prestigious aura and returning to her usual self, the little Fox-faced Witch who only liked to read novels and snack.
Su Ping continued to provide the Experience Book to the Fox-faced Witch to maximise her underlying strength.
Unfortunately, after the Second Tier, each minor realm required a massive amount of experience.
After using up all the Experience Books, the Fox-faced Witch, Sakura, could only advance to the Second Tier, Second Layer.
Since the experiment had already used a Thunder Light Fox once today, Sakura could only make the remaining two Thunder Light Fox curses for Su Ping.
“Although I lost some Fishing Coins, at least I now have the Foundation Establishment fighting capability as my ace in the hole.”
“And by accumulating little by little, when I set loose more than ten or twenty Thunder Light Foxes at once, letting them unleash Foundation-level Heavenly Thunder together…”
“How many Foundation Establishments in the same realm won’t flinch?”
Su Ping felt his luck was quite red-hot today.
Looking at the remaining fish, perhaps because he now had the backing of Foundation Establishment fighting prowess, he felt more relaxed.
Su Ping steeled his heart, exchanged the remaining fish for Fishing Coins, and started drawing cards again!
Ten consecutive draws! Teleportation Talisman.
Ten consecutive draws! Pot Cave Heaven exclusive Immortal Boat +1
Another ten consecutive draws!
Finally!
Su Ping found that he finally saw the golden light that seemed to be the guaranteed draw appear!
Then, Su Ping discovered that the golden light turned into a Crystal Stone and immediately became a part of his Ancient Divine Artifact, the Memory Wand, held in his hand.
This reminded Su Ping of the days when he drew a five-star card and then kept forming a bond with it.
But the Memory Wand is a good thing.
It is naturally worthwhile to draw its required Crystal Stone for an upgrade.
Su Ping also summoned the Memory Wand to see what new function it had gained after its second upgrade.
At a glance, he couldn’t help but feel joy in his heart,
Thinking that the next time he drew cards, he had to continue having the little Fox-faced Witch bless him.
The Memory Wand, after the second upgrade, did not change in duration or cooldown time.
But it allowed the non-individual memory Illusions to also gain the ability to attack.
Don’t underestimate this term; once it appeared,
It immediately turns the Memory Wand from a role-playing toy into a practical Divine Artifact!
In reality,
This means that Su Ping could finally avoid taking action with his avatar.
He could completely rely on summoning the Memory Illusion at a certain distance, then hiding at a safe distance with his body, and controlling the Memory Illusion to do those potentially dangerous things!
After all, the Memory Illusion would disappear when its time was up, and it didn’t matter if it died; if it brought some gains, it was a win!
“Now, the Memory Wand’s duration is eight hours, with a cooldown of twelve hours, which should be enough for my use!”
“It’s a shame that there are no more Experience Books, otherwise I could also raise the level of the Exorcism Mage, Yun Kong, which would be a great help to me.”
“As for that Fox-faced Witch, even though she has established her Foundation, she is still a support and has no direct attack capabilities.”
Su Ping clutched the Memory Wand tightly, thinking, and still decided to lock the Memory Illusion onto the form of the Exorcism Mage, Yun Kong.
Then, Su Ping immediately switched to Yun Kong’s Memory Illusion without waiting.
Suddenly, a lifelike Yun Kong appeared before Su Ping, sharing a connection of intent with him.
The operation felt like playing an ultra-realistic virtual game.
Thankfully, with his Divine Sense strengthened, controlling both himself and the Yun Kong Illusion proved no difficulty for Su Ping.
He managed to control both his body and the Yun Kong Illusion from the front courtyard to the rooftop and then from the rooftop to near the Spirit Light Fish Pond.
Only then did he release control and reflect on the process just now.
Perhaps it was because he had often assumed the role of the Exorcism Mage, Yun Kong, before.
Using his body felt no discomfort.
It’s just that some of his innate Talent Ultimate Moves,
Needed more practice to be performed accurately by Su Ping.
Yes, the Memory Illusion summoned by the Memory Wand, once made attack-capable, also inherited the Illusion’s talents and secret techniques.
Under control, they could all be executed!
And as the experiment progressed,
Su Ping gradually discovered that if his body entered into meditation and controlled the Illusion wholeheartedly,
His Illusion self could even possess about half of his body’s Divine Sense to aid him.
And through his memory, let the body slowly learn and perform Cultivator Moves including the North Dipper Greedy Wolf Fist!
It’s just that this Memory Illusion could not inherit a tenth of his Sacred Body; punching with full strength would immediately cause it to wither, and it could not bring into play the proficiency bonus he was used to, serving only as a common desperate Big Move.
He had to prepare in advance if he wanted to use Pills, as he couldn’t buy them on the spot from the Fishing Shop.
