Chapter 453: Chapter 453: Drawing Talismans with Essence Blood_1

Suddenly, a startling clap of thunder sounded.

Boom, boom, boom...

Heaven and earth shook, shattering the silence of the night.

Accompanied by lightning, it illuminated the entire world with blinding brightness.

The tall trees on the mountain cast shadows of their peculiar shapes, which seemed especially sinister and terrifying in this environment.

Xu Fan and Cui Dong hid beneath the Descending Dragon Tower. When the lightning flashed, they were cloaked in the shadows, as if hiding within them.

Boom, boom, boom... The thunder rolled, the rain pouring down harder and harder.

This night’s downpour would be one of the heaviest Zhonghai had seen in years.

The weather forecast had already issued a weather warning, a red alert at that, reminding the public to pay special attention and to avoid going out unnecessarily.

Red is the highest level of weather warning, and it could even lead to disasters.

This illustrates just how heavy the rain was falling tonight.

In the city, countless timid souls who lived alone were scared into hiding under their covers, not daring to emerge.

There were also thrill-seekers who fearlessly climbed up to the rooftops to capture terrifying images of the thunderstorm, which they then posted online for attention.

The Zhonghai government departments had already sprung into efficient action, preparing for any emergency disaster relief that might be necessary.

After consulting with Xu Fan, Zhou Xian led his team quickly down the mountain to seek shelter in the hotel. With the trees so tall and dense on the mountain, attracting lightning would be dangerous.

No matter how powerful a person is, they’re still no match for the fury of nature.

In the face of this terrifying downpour, everyone sought shelter to avoid danger.

Except for Xu Fan and Cui Dong, who not only didn’t seek shelter but instead braved the rain to make their way to the Descending Dragon Tower.

“Master, the situation isn’t good today. Maybe we should come back another time?” Cui Dong, his face full of fear and panic, pleaded with Xu Fan.

No sooner had he finished speaking,

As Xu Fan spoke, he imbued his words with his spiritual power, subtly influencing Cui Dong without his awareness.

Influenced by Xu Fan’s spiritual power, Cui Dong’s worries and fears quickly dissipated, and his expression became resolute. He said loudly, “Don’t worry, Master!”

Then, Cui Dong swallowed the Elixir in one gulp and, disregarding the wet ground, sat down directly to meditate and digest the pill.

Xu Fan fell silent and looked up towards the top of the Descending Dragon Tower.

The terrain of Mount Longshou was steep and naturally evolved into a formation that absorbed nature’s spiritual energy.

The reason why Xu Dan had come here to undergo closed-door cultivation was precisely because he discovered the mysteries of this place.

Although Xu Fan had absorbed all of the nature’s spiritual energy of this place, the natural formation was not damaged; it could still gather the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy.

Indeed, looking throughout Jiangnan, there could be no better place for Cui Dong to undergo his awakening.

While Cui Dong was meditating to absorb the Elixir, Xu Fan took out Talisman Paper, cut his middle finger with the tip of his own finger, and using fresh blood as ink, began to inscribe talisman characters onto the paper.

If what Xu Fan was doing now were to be known by those sect Daoists, they would likely be shocked beyond belief.

Common Daoists create talismans using cinnabar and talisman brushes, a process that is extremely tedious, where one misstep can lead to complete failure.

More advanced cultivators can create Talismans on the fly, out of thin air.

But what Xu Fan was doing now was even a notch higher; he was inscribing Talismans with his own essence blood.

One should know that this method has only been briefly mentioned in ancient texts, with no one ever actually achieving it.

Because using essence blood as ink places very high demands on the caster; if the spiritual power is even slightly insufficient, not only will the creation of the Talisman fail, but the loss of essence blood from the body can also lead to death.

Although risky, Talismans created in this way are, naturally, incredibly powerful.

Cui Dong was, after all, just a mortal with a very fragile body, and even though he had taken the Elixir, Xu Fan could still not guarantee his safe awakening.

Therefore, Xu Fan had no choice but to make preparations in advance.

There were three Talismans in total, including a Lightning Summoning Talisman, which could help attract lightning.

A Concealment Talisman, to hide Cui Dong’s sensory perceptions so he could endure the pain without failing midway through.

An Organ Protector Talisman, which could protect Cui Dong’s internal meridians and organs.

It must be said, having fulfilled his duty completely as a mentor, Xu Fan truly had done everything a master should.
