Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2898 - 2897: Alchemy of the Space Transfer Divine Talisman!
Previously on Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain...
The God of Blade relayed all details concerning Lin Dong to one of the Five Elders. The Elder, upon hearing the report, frowned deeply. "A cultivator of such formidable talent has emerged among the younger generation... I suppose you cannot be entirely blamed for this situation," he stated, his expression darkening considerably.
"Sir, this young man cannot be allowed to live. We should act swiftly to eliminate him..." the God of Blade urged, a sense of urgency in his tone.
Another of the Five Elders let out a cold chuckle. "There is no necessity for us to intervene directly. As you reported, he has already incurred the wrath of numerous powerful factions. Consider the Thunder Clan, the Pula family, and the Dark Family from the ancient European country, among others. Each of these possesses individuals at the Secondary Ancestor level of power."
"They will naturally attend to this 'Lin Dong' you speak of. As a military department of a nation, our role is to observe the unfolding events."
Upon hearing this explanation, the God of Blade found its logic sound and nodded in agreement.
His primary emotion was fear.
Should their Yingjiang Country War Department be tasked with confronting Lin Dong, he would undoubtedly be embroiled in the conflict.
As it stood, he felt a profound sense of relief.
Recalling how Lin Dong had effortlessly sent him flying earlier, the feeling of utter powerlessness was an experience he hadn't encountered since ascending to the Heavenly Realm of martial arts.
The disparity in strength was simply overwhelming.
Even as a warrior of the Heavenly Realm, facing Lin Dong felt akin to confronting a deity.
Consequently, he harbored no desire to face Lin Dong again.
Parallel to the situation within the Yingjiang Country War Department, the circumstances in the other three major national war zones mirrored their own. Each had reported the developments of the War Department Competition to their respective highest decision-making authorities at headquarters.
After their reports were heard, initial reprimands were issued to their top envoys.
However, when it came to addressing Lin Dong, they too were hesitant to take direct action.
It was evident that, in their assessment, Lin Dong's capability to elude the pursuit of Secondary Ancestors indicated his strength was on par with their own.
As the de facto leaders of these national war departments, they were naturally disinclined to personally engage in eliminating Lin Dong.
...
Meanwhile, at the Dragon Country War Department base, the celebratory banquet had concluded.
Lin Dong sought out Ye Linglong privately and extended an invitation, "In a few days, I intend to venture out to hunt demon beasts. To contend for the top position on the Five Elements Stele, would you care to accompany me?"
Presently, Ye Linglong, despite being an Earth Realm martial artist, still possessed considerable potential for advancement.
With Lin Dong by her side, they could potentially hunt more Demon Kings, a prospect that would undoubtedly accelerate her growth significantly.
Ye Linglong responded to his offer with palpable eagerness and excitement, "Yes, yes, yes! Of course, I'll go!"
"Good. For the next few days, I plan to refine some items," Lin Dong replied.
Lin Dong intended to further refine some Deadwood Dan and divine talismans.
He believed that being well-prepared was always prudent.
Ye Linglong nodded, her heart filled with joy at the prospect of training exclusively with Lin Dong.
Following their conversation, Lin Dong made his way to the Small Courtyard.
Upon arriving, he immediately commenced his secluded cultivation.
Ye Linglong, who had initially intended to find him, observed him entering retreat the moment he returned and couldn't help but sigh, "Does he care about anything other than cultivation? Alas, I was actually planning to look for him tonight..."
"But it's alright. There will be ample opportunities later. Ye Linglong, you must seize this chance during this solo training expedition."
"The opportunity to 'ride the dragon' is practically within your grasp."
As these thoughts crossed her mind, a blush crept across her cheeks. She was no longer a young girl, and though she hadn't dwelled on such matters before, the realization now brought a sense of shy anticipation.
The mere thought of experiencing such intimacy with Lin Dong sent her heart fluttering uncontrollably.
At this precise moment, Lin Dong, having returned to the solitude of the Small Courtyard, remained entirely oblivious to Ye Linglong's burgeoning desires.
He was fully prepared to begin the process of refining divine talismans.
"Now, I can finally refine that Space Transfer Divine Talisman. I had previously acquired a pair of Netherworld Winged Dragon feathers, which are precisely the materials needed for its creation."
"However, I was unable to refine them earlier due to my lack of understanding regarding the Space Dao."
"But that is no longer the case. Since absorbing Tian Sha, I have inherited a portion of his insights into the Space Dao. While these insights are insufficient for me to execute the Space Transfer Technique myself, they provide crucial assistance in the crafting of Space Transfer Divine Talismans."
"If this Space Transfer Divine Talisman can be successfully refined, it will effectively serve as an additional life-saving artifact, especially for Ye Linglong, who will be accompanying me on missions."
Should they encounter a truly formidable adversary, even one at the Secondary Ancestor level, he believed he could still orchestrate an escape using the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique.
However, bringing Ye Linglong along was not feasible. Yet, if she possessed a Space Transfer Divine Talisman, things would be different.
She could utilize the Space Transfer Divine Talisman to instantaneously relocate herself tens of thousands of miles away.
Even a Secondary Ancestor would be utterly incapable of pursuing her!
With this realization, Lin Dong experienced no hesitation and immediately prepared to commence the refining process.
But prior to engaging in the refinement, he first erected a small protective array.
This minor array was designed to forestall any overflow of his mental power, thereby preventing it from inflicting disaster upon the surrounding environment and its inhabitants during the divine talisman's creation.
The array was swiftly established.
Subsequently, the array was activated.
"Shhh~~~"
Once the array was brought to life, ancient runes began to swirl and encircle the Small Courtyard.
The night was as dark as ink, adorned with shimmering stars, as though even the heavens themselves were holding their breath in anticipation of the unfolding events.
At this pivotal moment, Lin Dong inhaled deeply, his gaze fixing upon a ring adorning his hand – the Dragon Ring.
With a mere thought, a subtle luminescence emanated from the Dragon Ring, gently cascading into his palm. It was a feather, emitting a soft blue-purple radiance, the primary essence required for crafting the seventh-level divine talisman known as the "Space Transfer Talisman" – the wing of a Netherworld Winged Dragon.
This wing, both incredibly light and remarkably resilient, contained unique fragments of spatial law, a treasure of unparalleled rarity in the world.
In addition to this indispensable Netherworld Winged Dragon feather, Lin Dong produced a series of supplementary materials from the Dragon Ring: Cold Ice Grass, Star Sand, Void Grass, and the blood essence of a Demon Emperor.
Each of these materials radiated distinct hues, intertwining to weave a tapestry of magnificent and vibrant colors.
With all preparations complete, Lin Dong closed his eyes to concentrate, the Qi within his Dantian surging as if in perfect harmony with the spiritual energy pervading heaven and earth.
He slowly opened his eyes, his hands rapidly performing intricate seal gestures while reciting ancient and complex incantations, each syllable imbued with a profound understanding and deep reverence for the Space Dao.
As the chanting intensified, the very air within the Small Courtyard began to distort, and the fabric of space seemed to be rent asunder by an unseen force, revealing faint rifts in its structure.
Lin Dong delicately placed the Netherworld Winged Dragon feather at the epicenter of the meticulously prepared array, then, with a subtle flick of his fingers, introduced the auxiliary materials into the array, one by one.
Each material added was met with a faint 'pop', signaling the nascent fusion between the components and the laws of space.
Lin Dong's expression grew increasingly intense, as though he were becoming one with the entire refining process, executing every minute action with flawless precision, free from any error.
As the refinement reached its zenith, the spatial disturbances within the Small Courtyard escalated dramatically, and the Netherworld Winged Dragon feather, nestled within the array, commenced its transformation. Its original blue-purple glow gradually shifted, morphing into a deep silver-black hue, the definitive color of spatial power.
At this critical juncture, Lin Dong's comprehension of the space dao, a legacy inherited from Tian Sha, erupted within his being. He felt as though he had pierced the very essence of space, and the previously enigmatic and challenging spatial laws became astonishingly clear.
Leveraging this newfound enlightenment, he guided the materials within the array into a more profound communion with the spatial rifts, with each successful integration elevating the divine talisman's potency to a superior level.
Finally, after a dazzling burst of light, a seventh-level divine talisman, the "Space Transfer Talisman," radiating a soft silver luminescence and intricately etched with complex spatial runes upon its surface, was successfully brought into existence.
"The Space Transfer Divine Talisman is complete!" Lin Dong exclaimed, his heart filled with elation; even he had not anticipated his innate talent for refining divine talismans to be this extraordinary.
To have successfully refined this "Space Transfer Divine Talisman" on the very first attempt, without a single mishap!
This achievement far surpassed the astonishing success he had experienced in his prior studies of alchemy.
