However, this kind of strength was not enough to make him feel at ease.
"I only have three hundred points of soul energy left. It's not enough to increase my strength again.
Therefore, the only things that can help me are talismans. "
Ziyue felt a little regretful. If he had enough soul energy, he would have wanted to continue improving his Straight Punch and Eighteen Consecutive Strikes.
Perfected martial techniques would definitely increase his combat strength by a large margin.
However, he needed at least three hundred points of soul energy. He needed six hundred points to improve his Eighteen Consecutive Strikes to Greater Mastery. And if he wanted to improve his Straight Punch to Perfection, he needed one thousand two hundred points.
It was impossible to improve in a short period of time. Naturally, he would not think about it.
On the other hand, he could still plan for talismans.
"Because I only have the first volume of the Hundred Talisman Catalog, the number of talismans recorded is limited. There are only twenty-five types.
Among them, ordinary talismans such as the Cleansing Talisman and the House Guarding Talisman make up the majority.
After eliminating these, there are only three types that can help me in the upcoming battle.
They are the Soul Subduing Talisman, the Vajra Talisman, and the Light Body Talisman. "
Among the twenty-five types of talismans, there were more powerful ones. For example, the Spirit Fire Talisman and the Ice Blade Talisman were all offensive talismans.
According to his estimation, their power should not be small.
However, if he wanted to draw these talismans, his mental energy was not enough. He needed to cultivate spirit energy in his body.
He had not learned the Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique, so he naturally could not cultivate spirit energy.
"There is still one and a half days until tomorrow evening. What I can do now is to draw as many of these three talismans as possible in preparation for tomorrow."
Bai Ziyue quickly returned to his room and immediately took out a talisman brush, a hundred stacks of paper, and cinnabar ink.
The Soul Subduing Talisman was effective against ghosts. From his few encounters, Ziyue also understood that Wu Hao must be good at raising ghosts. Therefore, the Soul Subduing Talisman was the most important to him. Even though he had two left, he quickly drew three more to feel safe.
Next, he drew the Light Body Talisman and the Vajra Talisman.
The Light Body Talisman could make his body as light as a swallow and greatly increase his speed.
As for the Vajra Talisman, it was a defensive talisman. When it was attached to the body, even ordinary people would be invulnerable, greatly increasing their defense.
These two talismans were very effective in assisting him. They would definitely allow his strength to soar by a large margin.
That was also the reason why he was so confident when facing Wu Hao.
"Six Soul Subduing Talismans, four Light Body Talismans, and three Vajra Talismans … this is my limit."
Looking at the number of talismans on his body with satisfaction, Ziyue finally couldn't endure the exhaustion in his heart. After tidying up, he fell asleep.
The next day, he naturally woke up early in the morning.
However, he had drawn more than ten talismans in a row the previous day, which had taken a huge toll on his mental strength. Coupled with the fact that he didn't have enough rest at night, he was still a little groggy the next day.
Ziyue reluctantly followed Master Li to slaughter the two Jinshan boars. After that, he hurriedly returned to his room and slept for a full six hours. Only then was he completely awake.
Ziyue felt refreshed and did not continue to draw talismans.
After all, drawing talismans consumed one's mental strength. Moreover, it was not far from the appointed time with Wu Hao. He naturally did not dare to underestimate it.
After thinking for a while, Ziyue took out a black cloth and wrapped the Pig Slaughtering Knife.
Compared to other long knives, the Pig Slaughtering Knife was more suitable for his body shape. In addition, it was also an iron weapon that was stained with blood. It was a genuine evil weapon that had a certain restraining effect on ghosts. In his opinion, it was more suitable to use it to deal with Wu Hao.
In addition, he also put away more than ten talismans properly to ensure that he could take them out and use them at any time.
Then, he went out of the door.
It was still early. Naturally, he did not go directly to Liugang Temple on the South Street. Instead, he went to the Pearl Restaurant.
Everyone in the restaurant was extremely surprised by Ziyue's arrival. He saw Doggy Li in the backyard.
Doggy Li seemed to have suffered a great blow from being kidnapped this time. He looked much weaker and had some scars on his body. However, it was not a big problem.
"Mount Ziyue, thank you for coming to see me."
Doggy Li looked grateful when he saw Ziyue.
"Do you know who kidnapped you?
Did they say anything to you? "
Ziyue asked curiously.
"I'm also puzzled. Since I was kidnapped, they directly locked me up. From the beginning to the end, no one asked me what happened. Then, they let me out without knowing why."
Doggy Li also felt strange when he heard that. However, he felt extremely lucky to be able to come back safely. He did not dare to really dig deeper.
Ziyue nodded silently. He knew that Wu Hao kidnapped Doggy Li purely to force him. When he proposed to let Doggy Li go in exchange for returning the Yin Yang Jade Pendant, Wu Hao naturally let him go.
Without explaining the reason to Li Ergou, Bai Ziyue comforted him with a few words and left.
…
Liugang Temple on the South Street. Three years ago, it was actually a very lively temple.
The incense was at its peak. Every day, there was an endless stream of people coming to worship.
However, since three years ago, there were people going missing in the temple almost every day. All kinds of strange things began to happen frequently.
Later, the government intervened and finally found out that all of this was a demon disaster.
It was said that there was a snake demon hiding in the temple and devouring people every day to cultivate.
The previous guardian was defeated and died when fighting the snake demon.
Later, it was said that people from Wujiang County came and killed the snake demon.
However, since such a big thing had happened, the originally bustling Liugang Temple naturally began to decline. Even the people who lived in the vicinity gradually moved away.
At this time, Liugang Temple was occasionally visited by people during the day. However, at night, it was desolate and dilapidated, like a dead land.
Stepping into the South Street, the closer he got to Liugang Temple, the fewer people there were.
Ziyue could not help but show a trace of nervousness on his face.
Even though he heard that the snake demon had been killed, in such a place, the psychological pressure was still very great.
Soon, Ziyue came to the front of Liugang Temple.
Even if he did not step in, just by looking at the outline of Liugang Temple, Ziyue could see that the temple, which was originally full of incense, was definitely not small.
However, the impact of the incident at that time was too great. Without the support of the believers, it was naturally deserted now.
The setting sun set, and the night of the late winter also turned dark very quickly.
Ziyue waited for nearly half an hour, but he did not see Wu Hao's figure.
Just as he was feeling a little impatient, his heart suddenly moved and he said, "If you still don't come out, I'll have to throw this jade pendant into the well and let you fish it out yourself."
As he said that, he took out a piece of black cloth that was obviously wrapped in something and was about to throw it into the abandoned well that had been abandoned for several years. The surroundings were almost filled with fallen leaves.
Although it was an abandoned well, there was still well water inside. However, it was now abandoned and no one used it.
