Chapter 938: Shifting Political Climate (II)
Each time he nourished his Immortal Foundation with talisman qi, the power of his spells would increase. Whether it was his escape spell, footwork technique, perception technique, or spell arts, they all advanced together.
He was far more effective than other cultivators, who painstakingly honed each skill individually or took targeted spirit herbs. His already strong escape spell and footwork techniques became more refined, while even his weaker offensive and defensive arts were now becoming presentable.
"Moreover, this talisman is said to be the icing on the cake. The more balanced and complete one's aura, the higher their position and the firmer their command, the more powerful the talisman qi becomes!"
At first, he thought the talisman qi’s boost was minimal. He thought that there would only be small progress after much nurturing. But now that he was overseeing the Eastern Sea, the golden light of the talisman qi in his body had grown dozens of times brighter. Gradually, he grasped its wonders, and his strength rose steadily.
Si Tongyi, seated beside him, became even more respectful and said softly, "This time I came to see you, Peak Master, regarding sect matters."
"Go on." Li Xizhi gave a slight nod. Though he was newly promoted to a high position, his conduct and demeanor were unlike someone who had been cloistered within the sect for years.
Si Tongyi, familiar with him, spoke frankly, "Three days ago, Daoist Master Buzi appeared in the Eastern Sea and fought with the Daoist Master of Crimson Reef Island. Rumor has it that even the reclusive... that is, Daoist Master Tanyun revealed himself. We can now confirm, the great demonic beast has indeed broken through. Crimson Reef Island now has at least two Daoist Masters."
Though he spoke in the name of the Azure Pond Sect, the worry in his eyes was clearly directed toward Chi Buzi, as he said softly, "According to many, for Daoist Master Buzi to cause even Daoist Master Tianwan to suffer losses, it would mean that he must have reached the late stage of the Purple Mansion Realm!"
After saying this, he silently observed Li Xizhi. The man did pause for a moment, then relaxed his brows and sighed, "He truly lives up to being the Chi Family’s prized prodigy of the past, to have such cultivation speed..."
"Yes," Si Tongyi replied softly and lowered his head.
