Cultivation: I have an omnipotent land

Chapter 49 Heavenly Thunder Talisman

A pale blue teleportation beam flashed, and the boy's figure appeared.

When Xiao Ming came to his senses, he found himself in a white room with a floor made of white jade bricks, ancient cloud patterns engraved on the walls, and moonstones embedded in the ceiling, emitting a soft glow.

As the teleportation ended, the light from the teleportation array beneath my feet dissipated, and it seemed to have turned into an ordinary jade platform, with no further response.

Xiao Ming put away the token, walked out the door, and entered a long corridor.

At the end of the passage, a scorching heat rushed towards them.

This was a grand hall. In the center stood twelve crimson stone pillars of varying sizes, each topped with a black dragon statue, flames surging from their mouths. On the ground were forging platforms, upon which lay forging materials and unfinished magical artifacts.

Xiao Ming walked over with a look of surprise and picked up a longsword with a very high level of craftsmanship to examine it closely, but he was soon disappointed.

This sword is entirely black, and even a light touch with the fingertips can produce a cool sensation, clearly indicating that it was made of very precious materials. If it were to be fully crafted, it would at least be a high-grade magic weapon.

However, this should be a failed product. A crack can be clearly seen on the sword. In addition, with the passage of time, it has lost all its spiritual energy and has become a complete waste.

After discarding the sword, Xiao Ming looked at the other unfinished magical artifacts and found that they all had flaws to varying degrees, rendering them useless.

"Is there not even a single usable item? Even one that can be recycled would be acceptable." Xiao Ming was somewhat unwilling.

He picked up these unfinished artifacts again and tried to forcefully inject spiritual power into them one by one. Finally, some of the artifact unfinished artifacts reacted.

This was a small jade boat. After spiritual power was injected into it, runes flashed inside, but no matter how much spiritual power Xiao Ming continued to inject, there was no further reaction.

"It can still light up, which proves that there is still a possibility of repair." Xiao Ming put the small jade boat into his storage bag, and then tried it one by one in a step-by-step manner, putting all the remaining magical artifact prototypes into his storage bag.

As for the casting materials, all those that still contained spiritual energy were packed up and taken away by Xiao Ming.

"Is that all?" Xiao Ming looked around and then at a counter, which was completely empty, with nothing on it.

This is clearly a weapon-forging site, which explains the abundance of forging scraps. However, the truly valuable items have likely already been taken by the original owner.

Xiao Ming walked around the main hall and soon discovered a passageway in the corner opposite the door. Following the passageway to the end, he saw a large door with the words "Do Not Disturb" clearly written on it.

At that moment, the token in his arms lit up again, and the door immediately responded and opened automatically with a loud bang.

Holding the token, Xiao Ming went inside.

Unlike the outside, this place is divided into several small rooms, and the current rooms are furnished with tables, chairs and bookshelves, giving it a more lived-in feel.

"This must be the residence of some steward or elder." Xiao Ming walked to the bookshelf, picked up one ancient book after another and began to browse through them. He found that these were all books about weapon crafting, and there were also a few books about talisman making.

The original owner was clearly skilled in weapon crafting, but also had some knowledge of talisman making.

After stuffing all the books into his storage bag, Xiao Ming looked at the cabinet next to him. The cabinet had a layer of dim spiritual energy barrier on its surface, a measure to prevent the spiritual energy of the contents from escaping. Clearly, it contained something even more precious.

I carefully opened the cabinet, inside which were a row of jade bottles, various talisman papers, and several talisman pens.

Xiao Ming opened each of the jade bottles and found that they contained talisman ink of various attributes.

After putting away the jade bottles containing the talisman ink, Xiao Ming noticed that there was another jade box behind the bottles.

As he opened the jade box, he was surprised to find a stack of talismans inside. Xiao Ming poured out the talismans and spread them out one by one to identify them.

Golden Spear Talisman, Incineration Talisman, Shadow-Stealing Talisman, Heavenly Thunder Talisman...

They're all high-level talismans!!

Xiao Ming felt he couldn't suppress the urge to smile.

Leaving aside the Golden Spear Talisman and the Incineration Talisman, the Hidden Shadow Talisman and the Heavenly Thunder Talisman are both rare talismans.

The Shadow Talisman can completely conceal one's aura, making it almost impossible for someone of the same level to detect it. Moreover, its effects can be stacked, making it difficult even for a Foundation Establishment cultivator's divine sense to detect.

This Heavenly Thunder Talisman is renowned for its astonishing power; once activated, its power is comparable to a full-force strike from a peak Qi Refining expert.

These are all great things.

After taking everything away, Xiao Ming went into the next room. This time, he didn't find much; there was only a simple jade bed and a futon.

Xiao Ming picked up the prayer mat and examined it. Although it wasn't a magic artifact, the workmanship was quite good, so he put it into his storage bag.

Besides these two rooms, there was another room with the door closed. After opening it with the token, a scorching heat immediately rushed out.

After walking through a short corridor, Xiao Ming went inside and was surprised to find that it was also a weapon-refining room.

In the center, you can see four bronze lion statues, each about ten feet tall, with two of them spewing out flames from their mouths, scorching the casting furnace in the middle.

"There's something inside." Xiao Ming's eyes lit up. He could feel the rich fire-attribute spiritual energy being released from the forging furnace.

As he approached, two fireballs suddenly flew towards him. Fortunately, Xiao Ming had been on guard ever since he entered, and he immediately leaped backward, whereupon a bronze shield was placed in front of him.

Click, click...

With the sound of mechanical joints twisting, the two bronze lions that were not breathing fire suddenly began to writhe.

"This is... a puppet?"

The two bronze lion puppets were activated and immediately locked onto Xiao Ming, surrounding him from the front and back.

Boom!

Suddenly, the first bronze lion charged forward at high speed. Xiao Ming immediately summoned his bronze shield. The huge bronze lion neither dodged nor avoided it, and crashed directly into it. The enormous force caused the bronze shield to shake violently.

The second bronze lion bypassed the shield and stared menacingly at Xiao Ming.

"I order you to stop!"

Xiao Ming took out the token and poured a large amount of spiritual power into it to activate it.

However, the two bronze lions did not react and still pounced.

"The token is useless. It seems these two puppets are not under our control. We have no choice but to fight them head-on."

Thinking this, Xiao Ming patted his storage bag, and a beam of azure light shot out, striking the chest of the second bronze lion.

Accompanied by a teeth-grinding cutting sound, the blue light dimmed slightly; it was the Azure Rainbow Sword, which Xiao Ming wielded with the most skill.

The small cyan sword trembled incessantly, its tip piercing the bronze lion's chest an inch deep, but it was already powerless to continue.

"This puppet is so tough." Xiao Ming's expression changed slightly.

The bronze lion completely ignored the spirit sword on its chest and slammed its two claws down on the spiritual energy shield with all its might. Instantly, the token in Xiao Ming's hand dimmed, and cracks appeared on the spiritual energy shield.

Clearly, this spiritual energy shield's defensive capabilities wouldn't withstand many attacks.

Thick soil beads!

As Xiao Ming activated his spiritual power, six egg-sized, earth-yellow beads flew out and spun rapidly around him.

"go!"

Xiao Ming pointed, and a spirit pearl shot out like an arrow, striking the hilt of the Azure Rainbow Sword.

With the added power, the Azure Rainbow Sword let out a mournful cry, its blade slightly bent, and plunged into the bronze lion's chest an inch further.

Then the other spirit orbs flew out one by one and crashed into it.

With each successive impact, the Azure Rainbow Sword, like a nail driven into the chest of the bronze lion, pierced through its chest and sent it flying.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ming's bronze shield had reached its limit under the bites of another bronze lion, and the shield was covered with scratches and bite marks.

As the bronze lion's paw slammed down, the bronze shield was sent flying like scrap metal.

It swiftly advanced, instantly arriving in front of Xiao Ming, baring its bronze fangs, ready to bite the man in front of it in two.

However, at that moment, an ancient bronze mirror appeared in front of Xiao Ming.

This item is none other than the superior magical artifact, the Divine Light Mirror!

As spiritual energy surged in, this superior-grade magic artifact was activated, and a dazzling white light shot out from the mirror, like a rainbow piercing the sun, unstoppable.

The bronze lion was completely unable to resist; its head exploded, scattering countless fragments on the ground.
