Super Divine Daoist Skill-Chapter 54: Modified - Soul Energy Increased

"Indeed, the Fifth Rank Golden Body, as an External Forging Technique, required far more Soul Energy for advancement than other martial skills,"

Even though he had anticipated it, the requirement of a full 500 Soul Energy still made him frown.

He had to admit, when he first cultivated the Zen Meditation Posture from Entry Level to Small Success, it only took 200 Soul Energy; the One-character Punch and Eighteen Linked Blades only needed 300 Soul Energy to reach Small Success. But now, the External Forging Technique, Fifth Rank Golden Body, had escalated to 500 Soul Energy, an impressive leap.

"Enhance!"

After glancing at the amount of Soul Energy he possessed, Bai Ziyue still decided to proceed with the enhancement.

Instantly, a flood of memories about cultivating the Fifth Rank Golden Body surged into his mind.

His skin, blood, and flesh felt as if they’d undergone innumerable temperings, forging, and restructurings in a brief period, becoming resilient and powerful.

His physical power grew at a rapid pace, his height even faintly increased.

"Small Success of the Fifth Rank Golden Body! That means I’ve reached the flesh and blood level of the second stage within the Fifth Rank Golden Body,"

Bai Ziyue’s mind calculated.

External Forging Technique, Fifth Rank Golden Body, was divided into skin membrane, flesh and blood, muscles and bones, bone marrow, and the golden body.

Among them, the fourth stage bone marrow and the fifth stage golden body were missing.

Therefore, he should now be at the second-stage flesh and blood level, equivalent to the Martial Arts Realm; meaning his current strength was at the mid-stage External Forging, flesh and blood level.

Upon reviewing his data again, he found that all his attributes, besides his Spirit, had been enhanced to above 3 points.

Moreover, the Fifth Rank Golden Body officially broke through, achieving a Small Success.

Only, what made him slightly helpless was that his Soul Energy was insufficient again.

"With only over two hundred points of Soul Energy left, I might as well use it all up and enhance the Talisman Art as well."

Bai Ziyue was straightforward, directly focusing on the Talisman Art.

"Consuming 200 Soul Energy, enhances the Talisman Art to Minor Success!"

"Enhance!"

Instantly, a wealth of memory about talisman drawing emerged.

Even his Spiritual Power was elevated, reaching a level of 2.12.

"I didn’t expect enhancing the Talisman Art would come with such an unexpected surprise."

Bai Ziyue absorbed the insight from this achievement, his eyes gradually brightened.

The enhancement of Talisman Art greatly boosted his confidence, and he had already resolved in his heart to begin drawing more challenging talismans.

The elevation of Spiritual Power excited him even more.

Because the success of a talisman inherently related to his drawing capability, but even more to the strength of his Spiritual Power.

The stronger the Spiritual Power, the higher the success rate of drawing talismans. If Spiritual Power was too weak, he wouldn’t be able to even channel Spiritual Qi into the talisman; how could he successfully draw a talisman then?

Bai Ziyue had not forgotten that outside there was Wu Hao, the second disciple of Daoist Wutong, a true immortal cultivator, eyeing him.

Naturally, he needed stronger Spiritual Power to create stronger talismans to counteract their schemes.

...

"The Soul-Suppressing Talisman could fix Yin Souls, suppress ghostly entities, and even have a certain amount of damage against ghost creatures."

In the evening, Bai Ziyue, eager, began drawing talismans.

This time, he planned to draw the Soul-Suppressing Talisman.

The Soul-Suppressing Talisman had significant effects on ghost creatures. According to the "Hundred Talisman Atlas," even a Fierce Ghost, if stuck with the Soul-Suppressing Talisman, would suffer injuries.

Knowing Wu Hao could drive and nurture ghosts, he had long awaited such a talisman.

With a talisman pen in hand, vermillion ink placed on one side, Bai Ziyue took out hundred-pleated paper, set it on the table, then used a jade pendant to press on one side.

Calm and collected!

Suddenly, Bai Ziyue opened his eyes, his talisman pen dipped in vermillion ink, starting the talisman drawing immediately.

At the instant of initiation, Spiritual Power was infused, a mysterious energy in the world connected to his Spiritual Power and talisman pen, then entirely injected into the hundred-pleated paper.

Stroke by stroke, exceedingly complex patterns emerged on the paper, driven by his arm.

Almost in one breath, the Soul-Suppressing Talisman was completed!

Bai Ziyue’s eyes gleamed, joy spread across his face.

With the Talisman Technique Minor Success, coupled with the enhancement of Spiritual Power, the Soul-Suppressing Talisman, previously deemed challenging by him, leapt off the paper.

Seeing a stronger-than-ever light flashing through the talisman compared to the Cleaning Talisman and Sect Protection Talisman he drew before, Bai Ziyue felt even more joy.

This indicated the power and effect of this talisman far exceeded those of the Cleaning Talisman and Sect Protection Talisman.

However, his joy had barely surfaced when it abruptly froze.

"Buzz!"

A dazzling light flashed, the Soul-Suppressing Talisman instantly turned into ashes, next, an intense grayish light was entirely injected into the jade pendant pressing on the talisman paper.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

A burst of violent sizzling noises emerged.

From the round jade, suddenly black and white colored lights shot out.

They collided with the light of the Soul-Suppressing Talisman, then mutually neutralized, extinguishing each other.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

After a while, the black and white lights were gone, the light from the Soul-Suppressing Talisman vanished as well.

Bai Ziyue was stunned.

*What just happened?*

*Why did the Soul-Suppressing Talisman suddenly activate?*

Wait a minute, Bai Ziyue’s expression suddenly changed.

He looked at the jade pendant.

*Isn’t this the round jade he got from killing the female ghost back then?*

He had nearly forgotten this jade pendant’s existence, but when he heard from those two ruffians that Wu Hao seemed to value this round jade greatly, he took it out again.

Unfortunately, despite his research, he discovered nothing, thus putting it aside temporarily.

While drawing the talisman, he placed it on the talisman as a paperweight temporarily.

Little did he guess that once he completed drawing the Soul-Suppressing Talisman this time, it activated immediately, clashing with the round jade.

"It seems there’s indeed some mystery within this jade pendant.

The previous Cleaning Talisman and Sect Protection Talisman couldn’t trigger the power inside it, but the Soul-Suppressing Talisman could, which also indicates the Soul-Suppressing Talisman’s power is strong enough.

*But...*"

Bai Ziyue pondered in his heart, soon revealing a trace of bitterness.

*Though he understood the reason, it’s truly unfortunate that the Soul-Suppressing Talisman he’d arduously drawn using his Spiritual Power was gone.*

*This was definitely a tangible loss.*

*Even if he discovered the Soul-Suppressing Talisman could affect the round jade, it seemed it didn’t prove anything in particular.*

"No way!"

Suddenly, Bai Ziyue’s expression froze, surprise swept across his face.

*He had sensed some anomalies earlier; now, upon checking the Attribute Panel, he was shocked.*

"The Soul Energy increased."
