Chapter 513 Becomes a difficult problem for Fulu Martial Saints
"That's right, your cultivation is improving very quickly!"
Su Xiaofan sized Jiang Zhen up, and nodded slightly. Unfortunately, he couldn't use his divine sense to probe, and could only see some superficial things.
The Qi mechanism on Jiang Zhen's body is almost completely different from Sun Wu's. The first thing he senses is not the surging power of Qi and blood, but a sinister energy that corrodes his body from time to time.
But under this yin energy, there is another layer of defensive pattern, which reduces the power of yin by 80%, and only the remaining 20% is stimulating Jiang Zhen's physical body, thus continuously breeding the warrior's blood.
This method is naturally the power of engraving formation patterns on the body, which makes Jiang Zhen hardly need to practice, and can improve his cultivation every day. This is also the reason why he can become a Martial King despite his mediocre aptitude.
"But the way forward has been cut off."
Shen Haodong took a breath. Jiang Zhen was originally the son of his Shen family, and he followed Shen Haodong since he was a child. However, after more than a hundred years of getting along with each other, although the two are master and servant, they are actually like masters and apprentices.
"Engraving formation patterns on the body can quickly improve the cultivation level and enhance the actual combat ability, but it is also a kind of shackle to the body."
Shen Haodong's eyes looked at Su Xiaofan. From ancient times to the present, all warriors who had the talisman masters engrave formation patterns have never been able to step into the realm of martial saints.
Even if there is, it is only a combat power that reaches the level of a martial sage, but it cannot mobilize the energy of heaven and earth like a martial sage.
Another point is that the lifespan of a talisman warrior is a little shorter than that of a warrior who breaks through the realm normally.
Like Sun Wu, after he became King Wu, his lifespan was 200, but as long as he had not suffered fatal injuries, it was not a big problem to live to 256, but his cultivation base would gradually decline after the age of 200.
But the King Wu among the talisman fighters, according to records, has never lived beyond two hundred years old. Even if he takes the life-prolonging treasure of heaven and earth, it is difficult to pass the two hundred years old limit.
Some people even call the warriors engraved with the array patterns Fulu warriors to distinguish them from orthodox practitioners.
Of course, this does not mean that talisman warriors are not advisable. Just imagine how many people can become kings of martial arts in such a big world. Most of them live an ordinary and mediocre life.
Moreover, it is not an easy task to become a talisman warrior. Only a talisman master who has touched the threshold of a master can have the ability to engrave formation patterns on the body of a warrior.
Moreover, the resources used to engrave the flesh are also unobtainable to ordinary people, that is the blood of monsters!
Monster essence blood and monster blood are two completely different concepts.
A monster that weighs hundreds of catties or even tons may have hundreds of catties or more of blood in its body.
But the blood essence is extracted from the hundreds of catties of blood, and one drop of blood essence may not necessarily be extracted from a hundred catties of blood.
To engrave the pattern on the body requires at least thirty to fifty drops of blood essence, which means that at least thirty or fifty monsters of the same level must be hunted to extract so much blood essence.
The formation pattern engraved when a warrior is not very demanding, only the blood essence of the goblin level is enough, and even the stronger blood essence of ghosts can barely be used.
But when it comes to the martial artist realm to engrave the formation pattern again, the big monster's first-level monster blood is needed. Compared with the little monster, the big monster is naturally more difficult to hunt, and it is more difficult to obtain the blood essence.
After becoming a general, the essence blood engraved on the body pattern needs the essence blood extracted from the body of the monster in the late stage of the big demon.
Wu Wang naturally needless to say, the blood essence needed to engrave the body is the blood of the demon king. Just imagine the difficulty of hunting the demon king, and you will know the difficulty of becoming a Wu Wang-level talisman warrior.
And it must be engraved by the talisman master himself, which cannot be done by a master-level talisman master.
However, relatively speaking, it is actually the most difficult to obtain blood essence when you are a martial artist.
Because the monsters of the late stage of the big monster and the monster king level are often huge in size, if you find a good target and are lucky, hunting one may be able to extract the blood that can be used to engrave the pattern.
Of course, hunting the demon king is not an easy task, so most of the followers around the talisman master are general-level warriors.
Firstly, Fulu masters couldn't complete the formation pattern engraving of Wuwang level. Another point is that it is difficult for them to get the demon king's blood essence, which can only be obtained by Wuwang Wusheng or Fulu masters.
If a talisman master has not reached the realm of a master, his combat power is far inferior to that of a warrior. Those followers are used to protect the talisman master. If they are in danger, the talisman warriors will definitely fight with their lives to protect the talisman master from harm.
In this way, the blood essence resources that followers need often need to be prepared by the talisman teacher. After all, others have sold their lives to you, so you can't pay for it yourself to practice.
So it’s actually very simple to see the level of the talisman masters. Even if you don’t see the talisman masters face to face, you can know just by seeing their pomp.
Master Fulu must be protected by four or five general-level warriors. In addition, there will be many warriors following him, hoping to be favored by the master and become the next general.
The talisman master can only engrave formation patterns on the martial apprentices and martial artists. Naturally, the highest follower is the martial artist, and the ostentation is much lower-key than the talisman master.
As for Shen Haodong, the only regular follower around him is Jiang Zhen, the Martial King, who has the least followers of the Martial King among the three great talisman masters in the world.
But Shen Haodong's methods are not comparable to those of the other two talisman masters. His combat power is not weaker than the Martial Sage. Even if something happens, Shen Haodong does not need the protection of the Martial King.
Although only the master of talismans can become the talisman martial king, there are not many talisman martial kings in this world.
The reason is very simple. If the talisman warriors who follow the Fulu master can gather the resources to engrave the Martial King's pattern, and they can walk through the Fulu Grandmaster's door, they can also ask the Grandmaster to help engrave the pattern, making themselves a Martial King.
These talisman fighters who became the King of Martial Arts, some will continue to follow the original talisman masters, and some will dissolve the relationship, kill monsters and ghosts alone to obtain resources, or become the force of a certain big force to guard one side.
So although Shen Haodong doesn't have any more followers of King Wu, if he raises his arms, he can be summoned in a very short time and gather many Fulu King Wu to come to obey his orders.
That’s because these talisman martial kings, when fighting monsters, yin gods or human warriors, if their bodies are seriously injured, the talisman array patterns on their bodies will be damaged.
In this case, the Fulu Martial King needs the help of the Fulu Grandmaster to help them repair the formation pattern, otherwise the Fulu Martial King will greatly reduce his combat power, and even fall out of the Martial King realm.
Imagine that in this difficult environment for human beings, how can there be less fights? The best way is naturally to become a follower of the talisman master, so that you will not be afraid of damage to the pattern at all.
But the other two talisman masters both have quite a few followers. They have limited resources and cannot afford to support so many, and they will not help Fulu Martial Kings who are not their followers to repair the pattern at will.
So some warriors who figured out their own way to become Fulu Martial King, every time they were injured, they could only use a lot of resources to ask the master to help repair it.
Because Shen Haodong has only one follower, compared to those two masters, he is also the one who speaks the best, so he has a very good reputation among the Fulu Wu Kings and is respected by many Fu Lu Wu Kings.
Shen Haodong’s words were said in front of Jiang Zhen. The pros and cons of this, Shen Haodong made it clear when he engraved the array pattern on Jiang Zhen for the first time, so becoming a talisman warrior is also Jiang Zhen’s own choice.
"Master Shen, I am already satisfied to reach the realm of King Wu."
Jiang Zhen, who was standing beside him, looked calm. Although the Fulu Wu King had a lower life expectancy than the normal Wu King, his combat power was actually stronger.
And if Master Shen didn't help him engrave the pattern, Jiang Zhen didn't think he had any hope of being promoted to the Martial King in his life, maybe he wouldn't even be able to reach the level of a general, let alone a lifespan of more than a hundred years.
"Brother Qingshan is here, maybe he can help you break through to Martial Saint."
Shen Haodong cast his eyes on Su Xiaofan, if there is someone who can break the spell that prevents talisman warriors from becoming holy, then Shen Haodong thinks it must be his good brother.
"Here, Lord Aoyama, is there hope?"
Jiang Zhen also looked at Su Xiaofan when he heard the words. He became a martial saint and his lifespan could reach five hundred. If it was possible, Jiang Zhen naturally didn't want to turn into a bowl of loess in a few decades.
"Your teacher is giving me a problem."
Su Xiaofan shook his head with a smile. He had carefully checked the relevant records of the avatar about the talisman warriors, and he also understood the talisman warriors.
There are two key points for Fulu warriors to advance.
But to make Fu Lu Wu Wang a martial sage, it is not enough for Shen Haodong to act, he must also get the blood of the demon sage.
In fact, strictly speaking, the blood of the demon sage is the key to hindering the Fulu Martial King from advancing to the Martial Sage.
Not counting the martial saints hidden by the great forces, there are only a few martial saints on the surface of human beings, which shows that the number of martial saints is rare.
The same is true for the demon saints. Every demon saint is a strong person who suppressed countless monster clans in the mountains and forests. Such an existence, even if it loses to a martial saint, it is difficult to kill it. It is always possible to escape.
So in the historical records of the human race, it is rare for a demon saint to be killed. On the contrary, when the demon saint drives a wave of beasts to attack the city, there are often strong martial kings who are hunted by the demon saint.
And if a demon saint is beheaded by humans, it will definitely cause a war between the demon race and the human race. In the end, the human race will often lose the most.
Therefore, in order to improve the strength of Fulu Martial King and make him advance to the realm of Martial Saint, he must first have the blood of the demon saint, which is difficult even for the Fulu Grandmaster.
Of course, things are not absolute. For countless years, there have always been some extremely talented people who can get the blood of the demon saint.
If the talisman master arranges the formation in advance, coupled with the powerful talisman, there is hope to kill the demon saint. Someone has done it in the history of the human race.
The luckier ones are like Shen Haodong. When he traveled with Su Xiaofan in the early years, he once got a small bottle of blood of the demon saint.
However, Shen Haodong used up the small bottle of the blood of the demon saint one or two hundred years ago, and now he does not have the blood of the demon saint in his hand.
But even if Shen Haodong had the blood of a demon sage in his hands, he didn't dare to engrave the pattern on Jiang Zhen, because this involved the second point of the talisman martial king's advancement to a martial sage.
That is, the blood of the demon saint is too powerful, and Fu Lu Wu Wang can't bear the blood of the demon saint at all, and often explodes and dies halfway through the engraving.
According to some ancient records obtained by Shen Haodong, even the most powerful talisman martial king could not withstand the huge energy of the blood of the demon saint, and very few talisman martial kings could last half of it.
Jiang Zhen is only the middle-stage cultivation base and physical body of King Wu. If he starts engraving patterns on the physical body now, the result will be 100% death without life.
So if Jiang Zhen wants to become a talisman martial sage, he needs to have a physical body that far surpasses all talisman martial kings. If he can't do this, engraving the pattern will only lose his life in vain.
"Brother Qingshan, I just want you to help him polish his body, and I will find a way."
Seeing Su Xiaofan groaning silently, Shen Haodong felt a little anxious. If Su Xiaofan can't help it, there will be no one in this world who can make Jiang Zhen advance to Fulu Martial Saint.
Helping a talisman martial king to become a talisman martial sage is the greatest wish in Shen Haodong's heart since he became a talisman master.
Shen Haodong wanted to break through this barrier that the predecessors could not achieve, so that the talisman warriors could truly become the same existence as other warriors, and guard the human race on this land.
"Can you get the blood of the demon saint?"
Su Xiaofan glanced at Shen Haodong, "Do you think with your formation and talisman, you can really kill a demon saint?"
There are really many ways for Grandmaster Talisman to face the Demon King, especially Shen Haodong who can draw talismans in the void, he can really torture and kill the Demon King like a Martial Saint.
But the demon saint and the demon king are completely different, they have already experienced the evolution of the life level, even if Shen Haodong has mental calculations or carelessness, and makes arrangements in advance, it is extremely difficult to kill the demon saint.
What's more, demon saints generally hide deep in the mountains and forests. Just going deep into the mountains and forests will encounter countless demon clans. It's not as simple as Shen Haodong said.
Only a person like Su Xiaofan, who has no martial energy and blood in his body, and his breath-holding technique can make his breath like a tree or stone, can quietly sneak into the mountains and forests, and have the chance to kill the demon saint.
"Brother Qingshan, this...isn't this my wish."
Facing Su Xiaofan, Shen Haodong, who was already over two hundred years old, was still the younger brother back then, and when he looked at Su Xiaofan, he still had an adoring look on his face.
"Come on, I'm over two hundred years old, so it's disgusting."
Seeing the look on Shen Haodong's face, Su Xiaofan couldn't help feeling chills. When he was in his teens, he pretended to be tender and it was justified. This wrinkled old man pretended to be tender, which made Su Xiaofan feel like he ate flies.
"Anyway, I can't do this, it all depends on Brother Qingshan."
Shen Haodong is not afraid of embarrassing himself in front of Jiang Zhen. Jiang Zhen is definitely his own, and he also knows his relationship with Lord Qingshan.
"This matter is really not easy to handle."
Su Xiaofan gave a wry smile, and said to Jiang Zhen: "Take off your clothes and show me..."
In fact, Su Xiaofan can still kill a demon saint. After all, there are far more demon saints than human martial saints. Su Xiaofan alone knows twenty or thirty demon saints.
Moreover, most of these demon saints are hiding in the depths of the mountains to refine energy and practice. Even the demon saints and grandchildren of those demon saints can hardly see the demon saints often.
So it is not very difficult for Su Xiaofan to kill a demon saint quietly. In fact, several demon saints have already entered his recipe, but they have not freed up their hands to hunt and kill them.
What made Su Xiaofan feel uncomfortable was Jiang Zhen's physical strength.
According to Su Xiaofan's estimate, Jiang Zhen probably needs to increase his physical strength to the state of a half-step martial saint, so that there is some possibility of success in engraving the blood pattern of the demon saint.
And the possibility of this is not more than 30%. You must know that blood essence is the essence of a monster. It is difficult for even a martial saint to refine it easily, let alone engrave it on the body.
"Take off your clothes quickly."
Shen Haodong saw Su Xiaofan ordering down, Jiang Zhen was still a little dazed, so he immediately widened his eyes.
"yes!"
Jiang Zhen didn't dare to neglect, since the two in front of him were men anyway, he wasn't afraid of them watching, so he stripped naked immediately.
Jiang Zhen is tall, even with clothes on, he looks very burly and strong. After removing the clothes, his whole body is even more muscular. On the earth where Su Xiaofan was born, he looks like a gym hunk.
"Practice the exercises!" Su Xiaofan shouted in a low voice.
Jiang Zhen knew what Su Xiaofan wanted to see, so he took a deep breath, only to see his body suddenly and hugely three-pointed, and on the surface of Jiang Zhen's body, countless extremely complex talisman patterns emerged.
Since he was a martial artist, Shen Haodong has been engraving array patterns on Jiang Zhen's body. In the middle stage of martial arts, in the late stage of martial arts and then to the king of martial arts, Shen Haodong will cover Jiang Zhen's body with a layer of talisman array patterns every time his cultivation level increases by a small level.
Actually, for talisman warriors, the talisman pattern will be engraved only once in every great realm.
But Shen Haodong is just a follower of Jiang Zhen. When he first trained Jiang Zhen, he consciously wanted him to be promoted to a martial saint, so he paid much more than other talisman masters.
At this moment, the talisman pattern that appeared on Jiang Zhen's body surface was glowing dark red, exuding a mysterious and inexplicable aura. However, Jiang Zhen, who originally only showed the aura of the middle-stage martial king, had soared at this moment, and now he has the posture of a martial sage .
Having paid so much more than other talisman martial artists, Jiang Zhen's strength is naturally far stronger than those talisman martial kings. When he explodes with all his strength, he can indeed have the strength of the initial stage of a martial sage.
"Attack, defend, hold your breath, run fast..."
Su Xiaofan looked at the talisman patterns on Jiang Zhen's body, counting them one by one, and after a while, he frowned, and turned to look at Shen Haodong.
"I said you have engraved so many arrays for him, why is there no spirit gathering? Didn't I teach you the spirit gathering array?"
"Brother Qingshan, it's not appropriate to engrave this spirit-gathering formation on your body?"
Shen Haodong was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, the aura of heaven and earth here is not a good thing, the evil energy contained in the aura energy cannot be directly absorbed and refined by warriors at all.
In Shen Haodong's view, the biggest function of the Spirit Gathering Formation is to arrange it in the city and use it when some apprentices and martial artists are promoted, so that they don't need to go to the wild to break through.
If such a set of pattern patterns were engraved on Jiang Zhen's body, Shen Haodong was afraid that he would be directly refined by the energy of evil spirits. It would not be gathering spirits but gathering evil spirits.
