It proved that his theory of crafting talisman seals was actually feasible!

Now that he created a Wind Arrow Talisman Seal, not only would he be able to save some time when crafting the talisman, but the talisman seal could be used by anyone! Even if one wasn’t a Talisman Master, they would be able to easily craft a rank one Wind Arrow Talisman!

All they had to do was to pour their inner qi into the seal before stamping it onto a piece of rank one talisman paper after dipping it in ink.

Shang Xia could basically imagine what would happen after news of his talisman seals got out there. A massive storm would sweep through the trade fair!

With a talisman seal in hand, any cultivator would be able to craft talismans.

As of that moment, Shang Xia only created the most elementary rank one Wind Arrow Talisman Seal and was unable to raise any waves. If he wished to prove its viability, he had to create other talisman seals.

Naturally, it would be for the best if he could make a rank two talisman seal. If he could create those of even higher rank, that would be even better!

Well, as the saying goes, haste makes waste. At the very least, he needed to carry out in-depth research on the talisman seal in hand to see if he could make any improvements to it.

After examining it carefully, Shang Xia took out another small chunk of rock that had split off from the Impaled Stone. He started to pour his heart and soul into the crafting of his second Wind Arrow Talisman Seal.

Every time he fully focused on his work, time would pass without him knowing. Luckily, the creation of a rank one talisman seal wasn’t too difficult. As a rank four Talisman Grandmaster, Shang Xia only had to replicate what he did before with a little adjustment here and there. The entire process wouldn’t prove to be too difficult.

The hardest part of crafting the talisman seal was when he made the first one, and that had already passed.

Close to 2 hours had passed, and Shang Xia carved out the final stroke. Just like that, a second rank one Wind Arrow Talisman Seal had been created.

Dipping it into a bit of ink and stamping it on a piece of talisman paper, the Wind Arrow Talisman that was created possessed much greater power than before. The amount of inner qi required was also reduced. Overall, the second talisman seal was much better than the first.

With the completion of the second seal, Shang Xia proved the viability of crafting them. The first he made wasn’t a product of dumb luck.

Holding the second talisman seal in hand, a frown appeared on Shang Xia’s face. He noticed that there was another disadvantage. The talisman created by the seal was degrading much faster than when it was personally crafted by a Talisman Master.

To that, Shang Xia quickly found an explanation. No matter what, the talisman seal was just another object. All it did was to imprint the runes onto a talisman paper to create one. When Talisman Masters crafted talismans personally, they would draw every rune carefully. Their inner qi would enter every stroke and remain in the talisman, allowing it to be kept for a much longer time.

However, if they considered the time to craft the talisman and the ease of it, a talisman seal was leagues ahead. With a talisman seal, even cultivators who had no idea how to craft talismans would be able to make one. The only prerequisite was that they wouldn’t be able to use talisman seals above their own cultivation level.

From a certain viewpoint, the creation of talisman seals would deal a massive blow to the status of Talisman Masters.

…

Ignoring all that, Shang Xia got ready to craft his second type of rank one talisman seal. This time, he chose to make a Stimulation Talisman Seal. The Simulation Talisman was one of the most complicated rank one talismans he learned back then, but it was one he had a lot of experience making.

He might have made 2 rank one Wind Arrow Talisman Seals earlier, but that didn’t mean that the creation of the Stimulation Talisman Seal would go as smoothly as before. In fact, he had a hard time crafting it! Even though he succeeded eventually, Shang Xia discovered that the seal would shatter after it was used a few times.

Whatever. Now that he had successfully made his first Stimulation Talisman Seal, making more would be much easier.

As he tried his hand at another talisman seal, he was rudely interrupted mid way by Ji Yi’s frantic cries.

“Hurry and come out! A pagoda appeared above the Three Unity Island!” Ji Yu slapped Shang Xia’s door as he yelled.

Actually, Shang Xia didn’t need to hear his reminder. The moment he opened his door, he discovered a giant 3 storied pagoda hovering in the air above the island.

What truly shocked him was the fact that the pagoda was still expanding as it descended on the land.

His sensitive senses immediately discovered the presence of Martial Dipper Realm Ancestors hovering above the pagoda. However, he could only tell that there were 3 of them at the very least. He wasn’t able to examine them properly. All he could feel was that they seemed to be slowly placing the pagoda down in the center of the Three Unity Island.

“This pagoda should be where the trade fair will be taking place. After all, the residences of the various factions from both worlds are built around it.” Ji Yu muttered. Even though he was talking, his gaze never left the descending pagoda.

A low thud rang through the air and the Three Unity Island trembled slightly when the pagoda eventually landed.

Chu Jia, who returned to the courtyard the moment she noticed what was going on, gasped in excitement. “Should we head over to take a look?”

Ji Yu’s heart stirred as well as he turned to look at Shang Xia.

Shang Xia’s gaze landed on 3 different spots in the void above the Three Unity Island before peeling away. After some time, he muttered softly, “I won’t be heading over. You can go and take a look. The 3 super factions will definitely explain what is going on to us anyway.”

“Hmph! What a wet blanket!” Chu Jia snorted when she heard that Shang Xia wasn’t planning to go. “You’ve been acting all suspicious while cooped up in your room! Who knows what you’re doing in there?”

Shang Xia, who was turning to return to his room, paused for a second. He waved his hand casually and tossed something at Chu Jia. “Here. This is something interesting you can play with. You can have it.”

Reaching out to grab it, she looked at the squarish stone slab in her hand that was barely 5 centimeters thick and an inch wide. She saw several runes carved into it and she raised an eyebrow curiously. “What is this?”

Her question was directed at Shang Xia, but all she received in reply was a loud thud when Shang Xia closed his door.

“That looks like a stone talisman!” Ji Yu piped up from the side after glancing at the item in her hand. He immediately recognized those runes on the slab.

“Stone talisman?” Chu Jia felt a wave of excitement. With Shang Xia’s status as a rank four Talisman Grandmaster, she felt that a talisman he gave her couldn’t be that bad.

“Hmm? Something isn’t right. The slab doesn’t look like an ordinary talisman. Did Shang Xia create a new type of talisman?” Ji Yu was someone who had great experience. He quickly discovered something strange with the stone slab in her hand.

Taken aback, Chu Jia also started to examine the runes carved into the stone slab.

“Rank one talisman?!” Chu Jia might not be a Talisman Master, but she was no fool. She could tell the quality of the talisman from the carvings of the runes on it.

The excitement she had for the ‘gift’ Shang Xia handed over disappeared and she nearly deflated like a balloon.

No matter what, she was a Martial Extermination Realm expert. What the hell was the point of giving her a rank one talisman?!

With a trace of annoyance in her heart, she nearly shattered the ‘stone talisman’ in her hand by tossing it at the ground. She screamed, “You stingy fellow!”

“Teacher Chu, can you let me have a closer look?” Ji Yu asked as he felt that there was something strange about the ‘stone talisman’ the more he looked at it.

In a fit of anger, she wanted to hand the ‘stone talisman’ over to Ji Yu and tell him to keep it. However, the words didn’t leave her lips. Raising her hand slowly, she passed the slab over.

Flipping the stone slab in his hand around, Ji Yu examined it carefully. After some time, he raised his head with his eyes wide in shock and he exclaimed, “Teacher Chu, do you have a feeling that this ‘stone talisman’ slightly resembles a seal?”

“Seal?!” Chu Jia snatched the stone slab back and took a closer look at it. Only then did she realize that the carvings were inverted. A frown formed on her face and she muttered in confusion, “Seal? What the hell is he up to? Why didn’t he explain it before going back to his room?”

Chu Jia thought about it for a second before keeping the stone slab carefully. Next, she asked casually, “Oh right, Do you know what talisman is carved on here?”

Ji Yu seemed to be deep in thought as he muttered absentmindedly, “Oh. Yeah, that looks like a rank one Stimulation Talisman.”

Turning around, she started to head out of the courtyard. However, her footsteps seemed to be in disarray. It was as though she was in a hurry.

…

One of the reasons Shang Xia tossed the Stimulation Talisman Seal to Chu Jia was because of a sudden impulse, but the other was because the talisman seal wasn’t as good as he had thought. He planned to make a second one right away.

The appearance of the pagoda and the Martial Dipper Realm Ancestors didn’t surprise Shang Xia in the slightest. If he wasn’t wrong, the trade fair would take place within the pagoda. Before that could happen, the 3 super factions would probably send some members over to explain the process to them.

Even though a slight disturbance was running through the Three Unity Island, nothing could distract Shang Xia from crafting his second talisman seal.

He had the experience of crafting his first rank one Stimulation Talisman Seal, and the process became much smoother when he did it a second time. The completed product was much better than the first.

After he was done, Shang Xia started to set his sights on crafting rank two talisman seals.

He might not have mastered the art of crafting rank one talisman seals, but he couldn’t care less! After all, crafting rank one talisman seals was a colossal waste of resources!

The quality of the Impaled Stone was extremely high. In Shang Xia’s eyes, he felt that it was at least a rank four Spiritual Treasure. It was even possible to be of the fifth rank!

To craft rank one talisman seals with it seemed to be using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. It was absolute overkill.

Naturally, it wasn’t that Shang Xia hadn’t tried crafting talisman seals with items other than the Impaled Stone. He used different materials, but he discovered that none of them were as suitable as the Impaled Stone.
