Chapter 98: Outside
When Li Lang retired to his room for the night, he didn’t waste any time and dove straight into the manual he received as a reward. He received it alongside a map. It was simply titled Fire Taming Art.
It was only a page, with nothing more than a mantra to chant.
There wasn’t anything special about it, so Li Lang went over the map in more detail instead. He wasn’t sure if it was to scale, but he estimated the Primordial Star Fire was only half an hour away. This was based on Tang Yulian’s experience, but with her higher cultivation, it was hardly accurate for others.
As he went over the map, Li Lang began to plan. He wasn’t a stranger to venturing out into Qi beast-infested forests. Nevertheless, he needed to come up with contingencies ahead of time.
He still had a small stash of warding talisman he brought with him, so he wasn’t too worried about the Qi beasts. However, it made him motivated to investigate how to produce his own warding talisman that gave off the aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The ones he bought weren’t classified as Earth-grade talismans. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to afford it. He had heard from Yi Lin that usually, a Foundation Establishment Brushweaver would just store some of their Qi in the talisman.
If it is still classified as a mortal-grade talisman, it means I should still be able to create one while in the Energy Gathering realm…
What Li Lang didn’t know was that the reason was simply because the talisman’s functions were only to store and emit Qi. The content of the Qi was irrelevant to the grading. He was unaware that it just so happens that mortal-grade talisman could barely still contain a sliver of Foundation Establishment level Qi.
Nevertheless, Li Lang began experimenting with a basic Qi storing talisman inside Ruby’s artifact space.
“Ruby, according to you, what is the main difference between Qi from someone in the Energy Gathering realm and the Foundation Establishment realm?”
“Hmm…Maybe the heaviness of it?”
“Would you say…it’s denser?”
