Cultivating With Mutated Heavenly Spirit Roots-Chapter 43: Power Of Talisman

Fang Hong’s assault hadn’t stopped; he once again threw out a hundred Ice Spike Talismans, and with a low shout, "Go!"

The hundred Ice Spike Talismans were all activated instantly, and streaks of ice-blue light appeared in the air, with ice spikes raining down fiercely on the red Fire Flood Dragon!

"Roar! Roar!" The red Fire Flood Dragon was fiercely suppressed to the ground by the ice spikes, letting out an extremely angry roar.

Its entire body’s red scales glowed with red light, which intertwined to form a tough shield, constantly resisting the ice spike attacks.

Every ice spike that struck its scales produced a crisp "clink-clank" sound, splashing out ice flowers.

"This beast’s scales are actually so hard!" Fang Hong was greatly shocked, his eyes fixed on the red Fire Flood Dragon.

He had already used so many talismans to attack; if it were a human Foundation Establishment Stage Late-Phase Cultivator, after taking so many Intermediate talismans, he would at least be heavily injured if not dead.

But the red Fire Flood Dragon in front of him hadn’t even broken a single piece of skin; its defense was truly beyond imagination.

"Beast! This is the end!" Just as Fang Hong was concentrating on suppressing the Fire Flood Dragon, he heard Su Shan and Lin Na’s voices.

Fang Hong quickly turned his head and saw that the two women’s eyes were focused; they had finally activated their talisman Treasures.

"Hmph!" The two women let out a soft cry and simultaneously threw the talisman Treasures in their hands towards the Fire Flood Dragon’s head.

The two talisman Treasures instantly transformed into two golden longswords in the air, their blades shimmering with golden light and moving extremely fast.

Before the red Fire Flood Dragon could react, the golden longswords had already pierced its head, nailing it firmly to the stone cave wall!

"Roar! Roar! Roar..." The red Fire Flood Dragon suffered a fatal injury, began to thrash about, violently twisting its body, and emitting a mournful roar.

However, all of this was futile; after struggling for a moment, its movements gradually ceased, and it completely fell silent...

The two golden longswords flew back into Su Shan and Lin Na’s hands, reverting to golden talismans, which they put back into their Storage Pouches.

The two women were instantly out of breath, their chests heaving violently, as talisman Treasures were not ordinary talismans, and activating them required a large amount of Magical Power.

Su Shan’s figure swayed, her face slightly pale; Fang Hong saw this, flashed to her side, and reached out to support her, while Lin Na collapsed to the ground, her eyes revealing exhaustion, clearly indicating an excessive consumption of Magical Power...

"Are you alright?" Fang Hong asked with concern.

"I’m fine." Su Shan smiled weakly and said.

Fang Hong took out four Intermediate "Spirit Recovery talismans" from his Storage Pouch; he first handed two to Su Shan, then walked to Lin Na’s side, handed her the other two, and said, "Use these Spirit Recovery talismans to restore your Magical Power."

The two women took the Spirit Recovery talismans and began to close their eyes to recover their Magical Power...

While the two women were recovering their Magical Power with their eyes closed, Fang Hong went to the red Fire Flood Dragon’s corpse and began to dissect it; its scales, claws, bones, and Flood Dragon blood were all rare Artifact Refining materials, and certainly could not be wasted.

Fang Hong took out a sharp dagger from his Storage Pouch and cut open the scales on the Fire Flood Dragon’s body; each scale was the size of a palm and very hard.

Next, he began to process the Fire Flood Dragon’s claws, using the dagger to cut along the joints, carefully removing the sharp claws whole...

During the dissection, Fang Hong’s eyes suddenly lit up; he discovered a "Fire Gathering Crystal" inside the Fire Flood Dragon’s body.

Fang Hong was overjoyed; this was a unique fire-storing stone of the Fire Flood Dragon, also an Artifact Refining Material, and although not as good as earth fire crystal, it was more than enough for refining top-grade Spiritual Artifacts.

In a short while, Fang Hong had extracted the blood and skinned the Fire Flood Dragon, completing the processing.

He secretly used the demon gourd to absorb the remaining unused flesh and blood, thinking that these should also be able to refine spirit pills...

The effect of the Spirit Recovery talismans was excellent; in less than half an incense stick’s time, the two women had fully recovered their Magical Power, becoming lively and energetic.

Lin Na stood up, looked at Fang Hong, her eyes full of admiration, and said, "Fellow Daoist Fang, we really owe it to you just now; if you hadn’t held back that beast, it would have been very difficult for us to kill it."

She recalled when the talisman Treasures were charging, she personally witnessed Fang Hong fighting the Fire Flood Dragon alone, and his endless talismans were actually able to suppress the Fire Flood Dragon, which was truly incredible.

"You’re too kind, you’re too kind. Without your powerful talisman Treasures, I couldn’t have killed it alone either." Fang Hong responded politely.

"Now that the Fire Flood Dragon is gone, we can explore this fourth floor; perhaps there are some treasures." Su Shan said with a smile, a hint of expectation in her eyes.

The three of them simultaneously looked at the large pool, above which spiritual mist floated; this should be some kind of treasure, and the Fire Flood Dragon had been Cultivating in it just now.

Fang Hong approached to examine the pool, first his eyes lit up, a look of pleasant surprise on his face, but then he slightly frowned, revealing a regretful expression: "This should be a Spirit Spring, but unfortunately, most of the Spiritual Qi inside has been absorbed by the Fire Flood Dragon."

"It is indeed a Spirit Spring. How about this, Nana, why don’t you use this Spirit Spring to attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage? Fellow Daoist Fang, what do you think?" Su Shan suggested.

"No problem at all." Fang Hong nodded. The Spiritual Qi in this Spirit Spring was not much, and even if the three of them divided it, it wouldn’t be much. Giving it to Lin Na to attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage was most suitable, also maximizing the utility of this Spirit Spring.

"Ah? Do I have to attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage here?" Lin Na was stunned for a moment, her face showing a surprised expression.

"It’s fine. Absorbing the Spiritual Qi from the Spirit Spring helps improve the success rate of Foundation Establishment, and this is a rare treasure ground for Cultivation." Su Shan patted her good friend’s shoulder, encouraging her.

"Alright, Sister Shan, you can’t abandon me and run away alone, okay?" Lin Na said somewhat fearfully, with a playful smile on her face.

"You mischievous girl, what nonsense are you talking about... How could I possibly abandon you?" Su Shan pointed at Lin Na’s head and said with a smile; Lin Na giggled upon hearing this.

Afterward, the three of them carefully searched the surrounding walls again.

Fang Hong hoped to find hidden mechanisms like those on the first three floors, perhaps hiding some treasures inside.

But this time, the three searched for half an hour but found nothing, no mechanisms at all, and eventually had to give up helplessly...

Su Shan took out Formation Flags from her Storage Pouch, inserted them according to specific directions, then injected Magical Power, setting up the Golden Bell Formation around the pool.

A golden giant bell slowly emerged, enveloping the pool and Lin Na within it.

Lin Na sat cross-legged by the pool, took a deep breath, took out a Foundation Establishment Pill from her Storage Pouch, put it into her mouth, and began to fully attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage...

For a time, the stone cave became quiet, with only Su Shan and Fang Hong standing silently to the side.

At this moment, Su Shan looked at Fang Hong with a smile, and crooked her finger, signaling him to come over.

Seeing Su Shan’s expression, Fang Hong’s heart stirred, and he followed Su Shan to a corner of the stone cave, some distance from where Lin Na was in seclusion.

"What’s wrong?" Fang Hong asked in a low voice; Su Shan’s expression seemed a bit off.

"Fang Hong, Nana has started her seclusion. We’re just idle, so why don’t we do something else?" Su Shan said quietly.

"Uh, what should we do?" Fang Hong was slightly taken aback.

"Oh, what else can a Dao Companion do?" Su Shan suddenly wrapped her arms around Fang Hong’s neck and said softly!
