Seclusion


    [Ding! An achievement mission has been issued. Host, pleaseplete 30 drawings of Level 2 talismans.]


    [Current Progress: 18%]


    Hearing the system’s voice, Jiang Chengxuan’s first reaction was surprised, wondering why the system wasn’t asking him to do it a hundred times.


    However, his second reaction was heaving a sigh of relief.


    Fortunately, the system did not ask him to draw a Level 2 talisman a hundred times.


    With his current financial situation, he could not afford it.


    After all, the materials used to draw a Level 2 talisman was way more expensive than the materials used to draw a Level 1 talisman.


    If he used all the 1,700 family contribution points he had to buy materials to draw Level 2 talismans, it would at most be enough for him to draw more than 40 Level 2 talismans.


    Moreover, it was the cheapest Level 2 talisman.


    However, if he only needed to draw 30 Level 2 talismans, Jiang Chengxuan could afford it for the time being.


    Moreover, the system also counted the number of Level 2 talismans he had drawn previously.


    He carefully checked the list.


    In the end, he chose a low-grade Level 2 talisman brush worth 600 contribution points.


    After all, if he really nned to study Level 2 talismans, a Level 2 talisman brush was definitely necessary.


    As for the remaining 1,100 contribution points, Jiang Chengxuan decided to exchange them all for materials to draw Level 2 talismans.


    This was enough to support him inpleting the mission issued by the system.


    After he and Shen Ruyan told Shen Baifei the items they wanted to exchange, Shen Baifei left for a while before walking back with two storage bags.


    He handed the two storage bags to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan and said,


    “These are the items you want to exchange for this time. Take a look.”


    After taking the storage bag, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan checked it. After confirming that there was nothing missing, they nodded at Shen Baifei and thanked him.


    Soon, the two of them bade farewell to Shen Baifei.


    Outside, Shen Ruyan smiled at Jiang Chengxuan and said, “Elder Jiang, are you nning to return to the cave abode next?”


    “Yeah.”


    Jiang Chengxuan nodded. “What about you?”


    “I’m not going back too.”


    Shen Ruyan smiled and said, “Then let’s part ways here. Meet up again when we have time.”


    “Alright, see you around.”


    After a while, Jiang Chengxuan returned to his cave abode and immediately began to enter seclusion.


    Jiang Chengxuan had a total of six things to do during this seclusion.


    First, he had to use the Upper Origin Pill to break through to the second level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    Next was refining the low-grade Level 2 defensive Dharma artifact, the Purple-Gold Spirit Shield, and the low-grade Level 2 talisman brush.


    After that, he still had to cultivate the low-grade Level 2 spell, Phantom Steps, and the Breeze Sword Technique.


    That was already five things.


    As for thest one, it was to try to make Level 2 talismans.


    Jiang Chengxuan roughly estimated.


    It would take him four or five years toplete these six tasks.


    Time passed slowly.


    In the blink of an eye, half a year passed.


    At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan had already used the Upper Origin Pill to break through to the second level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    The total amount of True Essence in his body had increased by more than 20%.


    In the past, he would use up all his True Essence after casting the Divine Light of the Arctic twice, but now, that would not happen again.


    At least he would still have the strength left to escape.


    In addition, the strength of his True Essence wasparable to a cultivator at the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    Coupled with the mid-grade Level 2 Purple me Sword and the Breeze Sword Technique, he was already strong enough to make a fourth level Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator feel threatened.


    In the next half a year, Jiang Chengxuan spent most of his energy on refining the Purple-Gold Spirit Shield and the Level 2 Talisman Brush.


    The former could increase his self-protecting ability, and thetter could help him draw Level 2 talismans better and quicker.


    They were all very valuable things.


    Jiang Chengxuan did not dare to be careless at all.


    Fortunately, everything went smoothly.


    More than half a yearter, he sessfully refined both.


    He did not waste any more time.


    After Jiang Chengxuan sessfully refined the Purple-Gold Spirit Shield and the Level 2 Talisman Brush, he focused all his energy onprehending and practicing the two Level 2 spells, the Phantom Steps and the Breeze Sword Technique.


    The Breeze Sword Technique was not a problem because it was a reward from the system.


    When Jiang Chengxuan was cultivating it, he did not encounter too many difficulties.


    Half a yearter, he sessfully cultivated the Breeze Sword Technique to the early stage.


    It had to be said that this sword technique rewarded by the system was indeed quite powerful.


    Although the system did not say what grade this sword technique was,


    However, Jiang Chengxuan felt that the power of this early stage Breeze Sword Technique was already not inferior to some perfected low-grade Level 2 spells.


    It could be seen that when he cultivated this Breeze Sword Technique to thete stage or even perfection stage, it would definitely beparable to a high-grade Level 2 spell.


    Inparison, the Phantom Steps gave Jiang Chengxuan a lot of headache.


    However, this was considered normal.


    As everyone knew, movement-type spells were often more difficult to practice than ordinary attack-type spells.


    In addition, hisprehension ability was not particrly outstanding.


    It was not a surprise that he would encounter trouble while cultivating the Phantom Steps.


    Fortunately, this situation did notst long.


    About half a yearter, Jiang Chengxuan finally mastered the initial stage of the Phantom Steps.


    At this moment, his movement speed was clearly more than 20% faster than before.


    When he took a leap, a figure identical to him would appear behind him.


    Without the corresponding spell to break it, it would be really difficult to tell which was his real body and which was his phantom.


    Just like that, more than two years passed.


    Jiang Chengxuan still had no intention ofing out of seclusion.


    This was because he still had onest thing to do, which was to try to draw Level 2 talismans and increase his talisman-making cultivation.


    This time, Jiang Chengxuan did not draw many different low-grade Level 2 talismans likest time.


    This time, he focused on a low-grade Level 2 talisman called the Rejuvenation Talisman.


    In fact, it was a healing talisman to treat the injuries.


    Among the many low-grade Level 2 talismans, it was the easiest to get started with.


    He drew four or five pieces in a row, but all of them failed.


    Fortunately, the progress of drawing under his retina did not remain unchanged. Instead, it went from 18% to 35%.
