Staying In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 70: Look at Your Lack of Ambition

In the following days, Su Fan stayed at home all the time.

Every day was fulfilling, practicing cultivation, drawing talismans, and experimenting with different cooking methods. Life was leisurely and carefree.

"The Nine Nether Shadow" was quite difficult, and it took him a few days to get the hang of it.

The only purpose of this Yin Shadow Dao spell was to hide in the shadows and ambush people, and its effect was indeed very good.

Su Fan planned to practice it thoroughly in the future and see its effect before making a judgment.

The three curses of "Slow Curse," "Soul Loss Curse," and "Weakening Curse" were very easy to learn for the path of curse cultivation.

Su Fan was somewhat looking forward to mastering these three curses in the future. It would be awesome.

There were also several Middle Grade magic symbols that he had been practicing on Xuan paper, and he had basically mastered them by now.

Of course, the success rate when making formal symbols was uncertain.

After all, magic symbols and immortal sect talismans had significant differences in many aspects.

Compared to immortal sect talismans, magic sect talismans were more complicated to make.

Take the ink for example. Immortal sect talismans could generally use one type of ink, but it was different for magic sect talismans. There were more than a dozen types, such as blood ink, soul ink, yin ink, bone ink, and so on.

In addition, many magic sect talismans required additional mediums.

For example, the Fierce Ghost Talisman required sealing a fierce ghost into the talisman. If the talisman-making failed, the fierce ghost would also be destroyed.

The White Bone Talisman required bone powder from a monster or evil bone, and the Bloodthirsty Talisman required the blood of a monster or cultivator. The Blood Demon Talisman required the soul of a monster.

The higher the grade of the medium, the greater the power of the talisman.

Overall, magic sect talismans were much more powerful than immortal sect talismans.

At night, Su Fan sat at the desk, focused and concentrated.

Making magic symbols required eliminating distractions, focusing solely on the task at hand. He chanted obscure and profound incantations that seemed meaningless.

He picked up the brush and started to draw!

On the talisman paper, the lines of the symbols suddenly changed. The originally intricate and delicate lines were brushed over by Chen Xi, and instead, he drew complex and intricate patterns at the end.

The symbols on it flickered quickly twice and then burst open with a bang.

"Failed again..."

Drawing magic symbols was not easy.

Several talismans in a row failed to succeed.

Su Fan rubbed his temples, his eyes showing a hint of fatigue, and his face turned pale.

He closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead for a long time before finally calming down.

After resting for a while, he continued to draw.

Su Fan's expression was focused, completely absorbed.

Immersed in a mysterious and tranquil state, his eyes only focused on the delicate and intricate lines on the talisman paper.

The brush tip, flick, hook, stroke, spin, the strength was sharp and precise. A thin, light blue pine-patterned talisman paper gradually formed a dense and exquisite pattern under the brush.

Snap!

Finally, the last stroke was completed.

"I succeeded..."

Su Fan put down the brush, pressed his hands on the wooden table, and took a deep breath. He felt as if his whole body had collapsed, sore and swollen.

After his spiritual consciousness recovered, Su Fan continued to make talismans. With divine assistance, he succeeded in two consecutive attempts.

The next day, Su Fan started selling talismans at the Hongye Market.

He didn't have many magic symbols, mainly selling the previous talismans, along with some miscellaneous items.

Business was surprisingly good, especially the various Middle Grade talismans from the immortal sect, which were particularly popular.

In the areas controlled by the magic sect, they were very tolerant of various cultivation resources from the immortal sect.

Even the cultivation techniques and spells of the immortal sect were not regulated.

This was unimaginable in the areas controlled by the immortal sect.

Su Fan didn't close his stall until evening and returned home.

At the doorstep, he saw Liu He waiting there. When he saw Su Fan coming back, he ran over excitedly.

"Big brother, I didn't come in last place in the inner sect competition..."

Su Fan chuckled and said, "So, did you make it into the top ten?"

"I just entered the inner sect, how is that possible?"

"Oh, then why are you so excited? Just because you didn't come in last?"

"Yeah, I followed your advice and ambushed two people, one of them was even at the seventh level of Qi Refining."

Su Fan couldn't be bothered to respond and entered the courtyard.

"You have no idea, the expression on the senior brother's face after I ambushed him, haha..."

"Look at you, so proud..."

Liu He didn't get angry after hearing this and chuckled.

"With my talent, I never even thought about Foundation Building. My father didn't do Foundation Building either, and he's living just fine."

Su Fan turned his head and looked at Liu He, feeling somewhat emotional.

This kid is good in this aspect, his mentality is not bad.

"You're already an inner sect disciple, why do you keep running down the mountain? Is that okay?"

"The management of inner sect disciples is very lenient, and there are no sect chores. I can leave whenever I want."

Alright, this guy is hopeless.

While other inner sect disciples are diligently cultivating, this guy still has the time to wander around.

"You're an inner sect disciple, but you're always hanging out with me, an independent cultivator. Is that appropriate?"

"Anyway, the senior brothers in the inner sect don't treat me like an inner sect disciple."

Saying this, Liu He's face showed a hint of disappointment.

"Alright, be content that you made it into the inner sect."

After hearing Su Fan's words, Liu He became excited again.

"Yeah, ever since I entered the inner sect, my father has been so happy. My uncles and grandfathers come to my house every day."

In the evening, Su Fan cooked two pots of braised pork with green beans, and made two side dishes.

Liu He tasted Su Fan's cooking for the first time and almost couldn't handle it.

In this cultivation world, cultivators usually only eat at restaurants occasionally, and their daily meals are just enough to get by.

The food at restaurants is not cheap, even for wealthy cultivators, they can't afford to go often.

Usually, cultivators just make do with a simple meal.

Even many ascetic cultivators rely on Fasting Pills as their food.

"Big brother, can I come to eat at your place often?"

Su Fan nodded after hearing this and said, "Come whenever you want."

Liu He excitedly said, "Then I'll provide the ingredients, and you can cook, how about that?"

"Sure, bring whatever you have."

Su Fan didn't take it seriously, but Liu He did.

The next day, Liu He brought a bunch of ingredients, including various monster meat and spirit mushrooms and fruits.

At noon, when Su Fan returned from the market, he saw Liu He standing at the courtyard gate with two people.

Su Fan immediately frowned, it was one thing for him to eat, but bringing people along?

Liu He noticed Su Fan's displeasure and quickly ran up.

"I've bragged so much about the senior brothers from the outer sect before, you can't hit my face."

After saying that, he glanced at Su Fan and cautiously smiled.

"Don't worry, these guys are from the outer affairs hall, they're not short on spirit stones."

"Don't make this a habit..."

Su Fan finished speaking, glanced at Liu He, and ignored him, going straight into the courtyard.

Since he brought people here, there was no way to drive them away.

The two outer sect disciples were not as easygoing as Liu He, they had an air of superiority.

Su Fan didn't mind, it was normal for sect disciples to be like this.

After all, there aren't many anomalies like Liu He.
