Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1005 - 489: Gaining a First-Grade Opportunity, Acquiring Another Immortal Talisman_2
Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
"Just wait and see, I'll make sure that fellow meets his end at my hands."
Frustration mounted among the cultivators from the various families, though they couldn't deny the accuracy in their ancestor's declaration.
The Ice Crystal Mountain Range had transformed into a no-go area for them, making casual entry impossible.
Their resentment toward Guan Tianqi deepened even further, as they blamed this young man for their severe casualties—the bounty on him had tripled, a clear sign of their boiling anger.
Regrettably, lacking any details on this independent cultivator, and wary of re-entering the Ice Crystal Mountain Range anytime soon, their threats remained empty.
Meanwhile, the exotic beasts suffered considerable losses too, including the demise of several at the Refining Void level. Victory came at a heavy price for them.
Still, expelling those detestable human cultivators stood as their ultimate triumph.
Losing a handful of exotic beasts hardly counted as a setback.
After all, their breeding capacity was robust; replenishing their numbers wouldn't demand much time.
In contrast, rallying another beast wave might require decades.
At minimum, they needed a phase of recovery.
Boom~~
While residing in Primordial Valley, Jiang Fan suddenly gained access to a message that dove straight into the core of his sea of consciousness: "Through your ingenious tactics, you sparked a clash between exotic beasts and the cultivators of noble families, leading to their shared exhaustion and enabling Primordial Valley to escape a fatal crisis. You've gained thirty million Luck Points, plus a First-Grade Opportunity (tap to reveal its precise spot)."
A First-Grade Opportunity?!
Upon detecting this update, Jiang Fan's eyes narrowed sharply; he never imagined that enduring this ordeal would unlock a First-Grade Opportunity—one of the supreme treasures available in the mortal realm.
Typically, such a crisis was nothing extraordinary, so why did it yield a First-Grade Opportunity?
Yet, opportunities defy simple logic.
Surmounting massive hardships doesn't guarantee elite rewards.
At times, when fortune aligns, even absent trials, such boons can appear.
The two concepts aren't interchangeable.
"Time to uncover the exact whereabouts of this First-Grade Opportunity."
With a mental nudge, Jiang Fan promptly accessed the details on this First-Grade Opportunity's location.
The site's position lay not too distant from Primordial Valley, about seven hundred kilometers southwest.
For a Divinity Transformation cultivator like him, that span was trivially brief.
Whoosh!
Without delay, Jiang Fan acted decisively—his form blurred as he executed Shrinking Earth into Inches, departing Primordial Valley at speed.
Within mere minutes, he reached the First-Grade Opportunity's site.
Right away, he discovered a concealed cavern.
Shockingly, more than a dozen human cultivator corpses littered its interior.
Clad in opulent attire and surrounded by abundant magical treasures, they were clearly scions of prominent noble families.
Likely clashing over valuables or old grudges, they battled within the cave, culminating in collective ruin and death right there.
Furthermore, these cultivators had perished no longer than a day prior.
Such matters held no relevance for Jiang Fan.
Their fates meant nothing to him; his sole aim was securing the First-Grade Opportunity.
Boom~~
Swiftly, Jiang Fan extended his hand, scooping up every storage bag scattered on the floor.
The First-Grade Opportunity resided within one of those storage bags.
Probing a storage bag with his divine sense, he noted its abundance of diverse treasures, signaling the original owner's substantial wealth.
Before long, he located the First-Grade Opportunity.
It appeared as an antiquated talisman.
Adorned with intricate, enigmatic designs, it harbored tremendous power.
Crafted from some unknown substance, it exuded an timeless essence.
Immortal Talisman!
Without doubt, this was an Immortal Talisman!
Jiang Fan had previously acquired three Immortal Talismans—the Longevity Immortal Talisman, Reincarnation Immortal Talisman, and Cause and Effect Communication Immortal Talisman—each brimming with extraordinary might.
Their advantages had served him profoundly, rendering him well-versed in Immortal Talismans.
Yet he hadn't anticipated stumbling upon a fourth one in this spot.
Indeed, befitting a First-Grade Opportunity, it bestowed upon him a fresh Immortal Talisman—now his fortunes soared.
Boom~~
At once, Jiang Fan wasted no time, channeling a vast sum of Luck Points.
A enigmatic force surged into the Immortal Talisman's core depths.
The talisman, long inert and unawakened, flared to life—its inscriptions ignited with radiant gold, unleashing a surge of immense energy.
Abruptly, the Immortal Talisman morphed into a spherical form, akin to a glass bead in scale, evocative of a Bodhi seed.
Its exterior bore a web of profound, arcane motifs, reminiscent of neural tissue.
Dong!
Instantly, it radiated golden luminescence, expanding outward to blanket the surroundings.
"This..."
Jiang Fan's pupils shrank; as the glow engulfed him, he felt the shadows and turbulent negative sentiments buried in his heart utterly purged.
It was like his soul had been rinsed pure, devoid of any blemish.
Concurrently, his thoughts achieved crystalline sharpness, akin to Unity of Heaven and Man, with his insight dramatically amplified.
A flood of cultivation enigmas rushed into his awareness.
Comparable to expending heaps of Luck Points, this epiphany carried an utterly arcane sensation.
Utterly marvelous.
"Ah, so this is the Bodhi Pure Heart Immortal Talisman."
Jiang Fan grasped the talisman's identity and full potentials in a flash.
Upon activation, it clears the stray notions and inner gloom haunting a cultivator's mind, banishing heart demons and facilitating effortless immersion in meditation.
At the same time, its enveloping aura temporarily boosts one's perceptive faculties.
With favorable circumstances, instant illumination dawns, unveiling myriad cultivation secrets.
Inarguably, it ranks as a premier aid for cultivation.
The higher a cultivator's realm, the broader the Bodhi Pure Heart Immortal Talisman's reach, benefiting additional practitioners—its esoteric qualities rival those of his prior acquisitions.
"To think such an Immortal Talisman graces the world—truly astonishing."
Delight filled Jiang Fan.
He recognized the immense value this talisman promised for him.
It could even support the Primordial Talisman Sect's members, accelerating his Dao Companion's progress.
After all, insight proves vital for any cultivator.
"Unbelievable, an actual Immortal Talisman?"
"Your luck must be defying the heavens to snag an Immortal Talisman this easily?"
Observing the event, the Primordial Talisman Pen stood stunned, barely able to accept it.
It understood all too well the rarity of acquiring an Immortal Talisman.
In the Ancient Era, when the Primordial Talisman Sect reigned supreme with boundless Destiny and throngs of prodigious disciples, securing an Immortal Talisman remained a monumental feat.
Each Immortal Talisman, much like an Immortal Artifact, held paramount significance as a Sect Treasure teeming with boundless enigmas.
Such items formed the bedrock of a sect's legacy, integral to its very foundation.
Yet here, this youth effortlessly claimed a novel Immortal Talisman.
Tales like this would spark widespread skepticism if shared.
"Purely fortunate, nothing special."
Jiang Fan dismissed it with a casual gesture, downplaying the feat.
"This..."
The Primordial Talisman Pen fell silent, at a loss for words.
Though aware of this youth's heaven-defying fortune, it hadn't foreseen such extremes.
Was this individual secretly favored by the heavens?
How else could he stumble upon such a prize so offhandedly?
Innumerable queries swirled unresolved in its mind.
Whoosh!
Ignoring the Primordial Talisman Pen's bewilderment, Jiang Fan blurred into motion, hurrying back to Primordial Valley.
He anticipated a serene stretch ahead for Primordial Valley, allowing some calm respite.
Besides, he required dedicated practice to swiftly elevate his realm.
His goal was a breakthrough to the Ninth-Layer Divinity Transformation.
With each day, his return to the Void Realm grew nearer.
Jiang Fan yearned deeply for his Dao Companion and the Void Realm.
Boom~~~
Promptly, Jiang Fan assumed a cross-legged posture on the earth, resuming his cultivation trance.
