Chapter 684: Chapter 206: The Exchange of the Treasure Talisman in the Three Enclosures_2
Ning Zhuo understood the reason and looked at the Tri-Yuan Exchange Treasure Talisman in front of him.
This talisman was not in the regular elongated shape, but a leaf.
The front of the leaf was white, the back black, with veins occasionally flashing an orange-yellow glow.
During the day, when holding the leaf up to the sunlight, countless golden spots would appear on the front. At night, if there was moonlight, many moon halos would appear on the back.
Ning Zhuo had not yet infused any Mana into it. Merely by using his Divine Sense to penetrate and observe, he could feel the vibrant vitality of the talisman.
He had previously discussed with Zhao Xi, who had introduced him to the Tri-Yuan Exchange Treasure Talisman.
This talisman was made by the Royal Family of Sanyang Kingdom and gifted to the Liangzhu Country as a national-level present.
The Royal Family of Sanyang Kingdom primarily cultivated the “Three Yang Taiyuan Technique”. By using this Treasure Talisman, Ning Zhuo would have the advantages of the “Three Yang Taiyuan Technique” during the Treasure Medicine Generation stage!
“I didn’t expect Zhao Xi to get this talisman to me so quickly.”
“He probably started working on it right after our last communication.”
“Although he is somewhat greedy, he does get things done when given a bribe! No wonder he remains unshaken in the court of Liangzhu Country, even after multiple reports against him!”
After a moment of inspection, Ning Zhuo confirmed there were no issues with it.
He also had Sun Lingtong use her innate abilities to check it, and no problems were found.
“The Mechanical Ring is also unresponsive.”
Ning Zhuo no longer hesitated and activated the Treasure Talisman, using it for the first time.
The Tri-Yuan Exchange Treasure Talisman emitted a radiance and then disintegrated into three streams of orange light, which respectively entered Ning Zhuo’s Divine Sea Dantian, Qi Sea Dantian, and Essence Sea Dantian.
Without needing Ning Zhuo to activate the Three Superior Sect Techniques, his Divine Power, Mana, and energy began to operate on their own, following the path of the “Three Yang Taiyuan Technique”.
Three suns appeared in Ning Zhuo’s three Dantians.
The suns hung high in the sky, constantly absorbing Divine Power, Mana, and energy, then disseminating it.
In an instant, sunlight flooded the three Dantians, and countless treasure medicines started growing frantically.
Ning Zhuo clicked his tongue.
“The efficiency is more than a hundred times what it was before.”
“The ‘Three Yang Taiyuan Technique’ is indeed a main cultivation technique of a royal family, how powerful!”
Ning Zhuo stood up and tried to do other activities.
To his surprise, even when he fought, released spells, or made intense physical movements, it did not interfere with the self-operation of the Tri-Yuan Exchange Treasure Talisman.
“The only flaw is that the Tri-Yuan Exchange Treasure Talisman consumes a lot of spirit.”
“In a real battle, I couldn’t let it constantly deplete my power.”
Ning Zhuo experienced it for half a tea’s time before immediately stopping the talisman’s operation.
With a thought, three streams of orange light shot out from his three Dantians. The streams gathered in the air and reverted to the previous Treasure Talisman.
The Treasure Talisman floated down like a leaf fall, landing in Ning Zhuo’s already extended palm.
Ning Zhuo observed the Treasure Talisman carefully and keenly noticed that the leaf patterns on it had slightly blurred.
“It seems that the talisman material is excellent; it can let me use it for a long time.”
This Treasure Talisman was a gift between Cultivation Kingdoms and was naturally made of the best materials available.
“Zhao Xi really helped me a lot this time!”
“With this, my efficiency has increased by a hundredfold, and I can soon break through to the second stage of Treasure Medicine Generation and advance to the third stage.”
Many expectations filled Ning Zhuo’s eyes.
He himself cultivated the Three Superior Sect Techniques, and in this cultivation stage, he already had a huge advantage that most cultivators couldn’t reach.
Now, with the Tri-Yuan Exchange Treasure Talisman, he had dual enhancements, like adding wings to a tiger!
“I should also thank Liu Guanzhang and the others…”
This time, exchanging for the Treasure Talisman had cost most of his battle merits, and the gains of Liu Guanzhang and the others couldn’t compare to Ning Zhuo’s.
They had volunteered and proactively offered to help Ning Zhuo.
“Little Zhuo, we’ve been investing in the Three Generals Camp until now, and finally, we’re starting to see gratifying returns.” In the Mechanical Dragon, Sun Lingtong also felt quite gratified.
But soon, their moods worsened.
Ning Zhuo, unable to wait for Lin Bufan to come to him, sensed something was wrong and began searching near the Ten-Mile Burning Forest.
Gao Cuo had covered the battlefield. Even with Sun Lingtong’s innate abilities and the Mechanical Dragon’s impressive detection capabilities, they found no clues or leads.
“Something must have happened to Lin Bufan.”
“I hope he can handle it properly and get through the difficulties.”
Ning Zhuo stopped searching.
The main issue was that he had no way to contact Lin Bufan. Finding Lin Bufan amidst the vast mountains was an extremely difficult task.
With no trace of Lin Bufan, the Wood-in-the-Fire could only be postponed naturally.
Ning Zhuo quickly adjusted his mindset and returned to the Three Generals Camp to practice enthusiastically again.
The Tri-Yuan Exchange Treasure Talisman was very convenient to use, so Ning Zhuo carried it with him day and night, using it continuously.
He devoted most of his time to the Fetal Breathing Spirit Boat.
The Ten-Mile Burning Forest battle had already given Ning Zhuo a taste of its benefits.
Currently, the stronger his physical foundation, the more battle power he could unleash by leveraging Military Art!
Two days later, a team arrived at the Ten-Mile Burning Forest. They took over the place and brought Zhao Xi’s mobilization order.
The order — the Three Generals Camp is to attack the Thousand Vines Talisman Corridor!
Liu Guanzhang and Ning were not surprised as this target was the one they had proactively proposed to Zhao Xi before.
Having support from someone above made things easy.
Zhao Xi successfully got the military order to the Three Generals Camp.
The Three Generals Camp had already prepared well. They broke camp immediately and swiftly advanced toward the Thousand Vines Talisman Corridor.
The Thousand Vines Talisman Corridor was a corridor built between mountain peaks. Its intricate design allowed Spiritual Energy to flow through the corridor, forming an artificial spiritual vein.
The Talisman Leaf Vine planted in the corridor grew under its influence and eventually produced specific talisman vines.
Liu Guanzhang and Ning had already strategized to lead the army to launch a full attack on the middle section of the corridor.
In an instant, the previously silent vine walls awoke, and hundreds of vines turned from green to dark iron color.
The talismans on the vine leaves were activated, shooting thousands of sharp arrows that covered the Three Generals Camp.
Battle formation — Iron Bucket Formation!
The Three Generals Camp had already prepared well, defending meticulously without a single gap.
The vines were greatly consumed, and the left section of the vine wall turned crimson.
In an instant, the talisman leaves transformed into countless flame streams, shooting towards the Three Generals Camp.
Liu Er used Military Art to enhance the defense.
Guan Hong wielded his blade, cutting through the sky filled with flames and flame streams, shattering the corridor’s surface at the mountainside, exposing the interior.
Panic-stricken, some enemy cultivators fled through the breach to the depths of the corridors on both sides.
Soon, the resistance plummeted as the talisman vines were depleted in this section of the corridor.
After leaving behind a dozen corpses, the defending cultivators all retreated.
The initial fight went smoothly, but the real challenge lay ahead.
The Three Generals Camp couldn’t continue using the same method to advance. It took too long and consumed too much military power, not to mention the loss of the talisman vine leaves, which would cost them considerable battle merits.
“Attacking from the inside won’t trigger the vine leaves’ defense.”
“But that way, we can’t set up a battle formation properly. With just a squad of soldiers forming an array, the power is much lessened.”
“Let’s try with my Mechanical Army first.”
Ning Zhuo proactively suggested.
With three major Mechanical Platforms, he could produce Mechanical Puppets quickly. This kind of war of attrition was just perfect for his Mechanical Army!
Soon, the Three Generals Camp adopted a new approach, with the main force stationed in place, and the Mechanical Army fully attacking from both flanks.
The Heavenly and Earthly Double Ghosts hid in the dark, observing everything they could.
“The main force of the Three Generals Camp is still in a battle formation, which is troublesome.”
“Ning Zhuo has left the army, moving alone. Let’s wait until he’s a bit further from Liu Guanzhang and then ambush him!”
