Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement

But for Jiang Feng, at such a young age, having only cultivated for about a hundred years, and being someone from Central Earth, he could suppress him to the point of suffocation with his mastery of runes.

"Void Talisman conjured, hahaha, our Cyan Cloud Sect finally has a Fourth-Grade Talisman Master."

Xiang Pangyun was stunned at first, then burst into tears of joy.

"Master Uncle."

Jiang Feng was taken aback; was the Void Talisman really a mark of a Fourth-Grade Talisman Master?

Could I have gone overboard?

If people from the Divine Sect were to target him and kill him in secret, what would he do?

Jiang Feng suddenly felt deep regret; in hindsight, he shouldn’t have exerted himself fully. He hadn’t anticipated that achieving Great Success in Rune Basics could grant him the power of a Fourth-Grade Talisman Master.

If he were to cultivate Rune Basics to Great Perfection, wouldn’t that mean Fifth Grade, or even Sixth Grade?

The Blood God Book states,

A Fourth-Grade Talisman Master is one in a million, while a Fifth-Grade Talisman Master embodies the pinnacle of cultivation. But a Sixth-Grade Talisman Master has never manifested in the entire Blood Domain, with no records of such.

Of course, the Blood God Book, being a creation of the Divine Sect, might be fabricated, but it also proves the scarcity of Fourth-Grade Talisman Masters.

"Sir, you needn’t worry about whether Junior Sister will take revenge on you any longer. With your status as a Fourth-Grade Talisman Master, even if you killed Junior Sister, the Sect Leader might not do anything to you."

Changyun said sincerely.

Unconsciously, the way of addressing had changed.

"This..."

Jiang Feng looked surprised.

"Buzz!"

Xiang Pangyun casually activated a talisman to prevent eavesdropping and spying, enveloping the three in a layer of light and shadow.

He said, "A Fourth-Grade Talisman Master is one in thousands. From now on, all talisman masters on Yagu Peak will regard you as the highest!"

Saying this, the elderly Xiang Pangyun knelt down to worship Jiang Feng.

"Bang!"

Changyun also followed suit, kneeling and kowtowing.

Just a moment ago, Jiang Feng called him Master, and now this Master was prostrating himself before his former disciple without any resentment.

"What are you doing, get up quickly."

Jiang Feng couldn’t assume the position and helped the two stand up.

"At such a young age, you have the strength of a Fourth-Grade Talisman Master. If the Divine Sect finds out, they will stop at nothing to kill you, so your strength must remain undisclosed to anyone except the three of us and the Sect Leader. Otherwise, no one will be able to save you."

Xiang Pangyun said gravely like never before.

"Ah?"

Jiang Feng could hardly believe his ears.

When he realized he was a Fourth-Grade Talisman Master, he had considered it, but he hadn’t expected it to be this serious.

He had exerted his full strength in talisman painting just to make the Cyan Cloud Sect realize his boundless potential so that they would protect his life and prevent Huang Li from threatening him.

He hadn’t imagined.

The strength of a Fourth-Grade Talisman Master could bring even greater disaster upon him.

Blood Domain Divine Sect and Huang Li.

It’s obvious that the Blood Domain Divine Sect is the most terrifying existence. In order to avoid a troublemaker, he inadvertently provoked the Blood Domain Divine Sect, which is jumping from one pit into an even bigger pit.

Jiang Feng was on the verge of tears.

"Don’t think too much about it, I, Changyun, and the Sect Leader will do everything in our power to ensure your safety and prevent anyone from knowing you are a Fourth-Grade Talisman Master, nor will we let the Divine Sect threaten you."

Xiang Pangyun observed the change in Jiang Feng’s mindset and consoled him.

"If I die, it would be a huge loss for the Cyan Cloud Sect. Master Xiang, you must protect me well."

Jiang Feng said helplessly.

"For safety’s sake, we will announce to the public that you are a Second-Grade Talisman Master. This identity, together with the Sect Leader’s protection, means even Junior Sister wouldn’t dare to do anything to you, no matter how audacious."

Changyun said.

"If a Golden Core Powerhouse secretly protects me, that would be the best situation."

Jiang Feng suggested.

"It’s not impossible."

Xiang Pangyun nodded at his words.

Jiang Feng’s eyes widened; the value of a Fourth-Grade Talisman Master was so high, it could attract a Golden Core Powerhouse to move for it?

This... if the Blood Domain Divine Sect learned of his existence, it’s no wonder if they exhaust all means to kill him.

Initially, he had suspected whether Xiang Pangyun was exaggerating.

Like realizing a Golden Core Powerhouse could protect him, Jiang Feng no longer doubted Xiang Pangyun’s words.

"Record everyone who lingered nearby just now, regardless of identity, I want to investigate each one to ensure no information leaks."

Xiang Pangyun said gravely.

"Understood, leave it to me!"

Changyun nodded.

"Mr. Jiang, please bear with the temporary grievance. For your safety, your future identity will be the same as Changyun’s. I will convey your requests to the Sect Leader, who may test you personally, but rest assured, the entire Cyan Cloud Sect will regard you as a treasure, and absolutely no one will harm a single hair on you."

Xiang Pangyun promised with unwavering certainty.

"Thank you, Master Xiang and Master Chang."

Jiang Feng bowed to express his gratitude.

"Please don’t!"

Xiang Pangyun and Changyun bowed even lower.

"Let me first take you to see the Sect Leader."

Xiang Pangyun took out a Silver Leaf which transformed into a Flying Ship. He stepped on it, followed closely by Jiang Feng.

The Silver Leaf carried them out through the window.

Rising into the open air, the Silver Leaf expanded in the wind, surrounded by a transparent barrier that offered defense against enemy ambush and prevented eavesdropping.

"Two hundred years ago, the Cyan Cloud Sect also produced a Fourth-Grade Talisman Master, but he and the sect’s elites were permanently marooned in the Divine Sect Mansion. Nowadays, across the Blood Domain, besides the Divine Sect having Fourth-Grade Talisman Masters, the remaining Fourth-Grade Talisman Masters all hide within their sects to avoid assassination by Divine Sect powerhouses.

Yet despite this, many Fourth-Grade Talisman Masters suffered.

For instance, two Fourth-Grade Talisman Masters in the Talisman Hall, one had his soul battered, with fluctuating soul power, another had regressed cultivation, with an unstable mind, forgetting many talismanic charms.

These are all the sinful acts of the Divine Sect."

Xiang Pangyun advised Jiang Feng, hoping he would realize the seriousness of the problem, conceal his strength, and not let others know.

Jiang Feng was rendered speechless.

He wanted to strip away a talisman master’s capabilities.

"Wu Jingming, where are you going?"

At this moment, a figure flew over.

It was the favored Son of Heaven, Wu Jingming, who had previously led Huang Li to the main peak to see the Sect Leader.

"Alas, something’s happened. Junior Sister had an extreme reaction to the Dragon Saliva Fragrance; not only did she fail to recover her memory, but she also became extremely irritable. The Sect Leader asked me to go to the Alchemy Room and fetch some Calm Heart Pills and Calm Spirit Pills for Junior Sister to take."

Wu Jingming explained.

"What did you say?"

Jiang Feng exclaimed.

"Brother Jiang, you needn’t worry; Junior Sister has just become somewhat agitated."

Wu Jingming thought Jiang Feng was concerned about Huang Li’s safety.

"Did you say that Junior Sister wasn’t able to recover her memory?"

Jiang Feng shook his head and asked.

"Well, who knew that Dragon Saliva Fragrance would be useless."

Wu Jingming complained.

With those words.

Jiang Feng clenched and then loosened his fists, feeling a surge of blood rise, experiencing a sense of dizziness, nearly falling off the Flying Ship.

"Brother Jiang, what’s wrong?"

Wu Jingming asked in confusion.

"He just consumed much soul power while engraving talismans, feeling somewhat depleted."

Xiang Pangyun said sympathetically.

"Senior Brother Wu, please also fetch some Calm Heart Pills and Calm Spirit Pills for me, I’m not feeling well."

Jiang Feng clutched his chest, slowly sitting down on the Flying Ship, suppressing the urge to vomit blood.
