The Lu family sent three jade slips: one containing the specialized martial art "Cangmang Balong Fist," another with the special skill "Talisman True Book," and the third with a sinister curse technique, the "Nail Soul Method."

These three jade slips were all personally requested by you through Lu Zhong from the Lu family, and they are perfectly suited for your needs.

"Cangmang Ba Long Fist" is an incredibly powerful martial art at the Saint level, comparable to heavenly martial arts. It has the strength to split mountains and part seas, but it’s highly demanding and requires a strong body. A misstep could result in a self-inflicted injury, but it complements the terrifying power of your "Ancient Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body" perfectly.

Previously, you didn’t have a lethal move in your arsenal, but now, the "Cangmang Ba Long Fist" fills that gap.

The "True Book of Talismans" is an introductory guide to talisman crafting, containing tens of thousands of talismans. Since you discovered the surprising effects of the "Supreme Emperor Bone" on your cultivation, you realized that you could explore a secondary profession. The versatile profession of "Talisman Master" is now your focus.

As for the "Nail Soul Method," it was prepared for Ye Chen, the destined protagonist. You still possess one of his arms, and with this curse method, you can lock its position.

"That’s very thoughtful," you reflected. "While strengthening my power, I’ve also gained the potential to become a talisman master, a position that commands great respect in the upper echelons of Daxia."

Lu Gan looked at "himself" in the villain simulator and couldn’t help but feel emotional.

The status and potential of a talisman master are beyond imagination. A high-level "Talisman Master" is not someone easily provoked, and with time, they can craft powerful talismans that can bombard enemies. Some high-level talismans have magical effects, like the "Life-Substitute Blood Escape Talisman" in your possession, made by a high-level talisman master.

To defeat a well-prepared talisman master, several Heavenly Realm ancestors would be required. One day, when you reach the level of a high-level talisman master and prepare enough powerful talismans, you’ll be able to challenge the Gu family, a celestial family, on your own.

"Next, it depends on whether the 'Supreme Emperor Bone' can succeed," you thought.

Although the "Supreme Emperor Bone" demonstrated its power in cultivation, its effect on martial arts and Taoism remains uncertain. You’ll need to try it out.

After receiving the three jade slips, you wasted no time and entered the secret room again to start practicing. You began by using a large amount of elixirs to stimulate the "enlightenment state" of the "Supreme Emperor Bone," falling into a deep, confused "enlightenment."

You started practicing the dominating martial art "Cang Mang Ba Long Quan." The complex ancient characters turned into tadpoles and filled your mind, which quickly absorbed and comprehended them.

On the first day, after consuming hundreds of cultivation pills, you successfully comprehended the "Cang Mang Tyrant Dragon Fist" and made quick progress. By the next day, you had reached perfection with the "Cang Mang Tyrant Dragon Fist." A punch from you now could shatter mountains and rivers. At this point, you believed that even the mountains and rivers of the fifth realm wouldn’t dare to resist. If struck, they would surely be destroyed.

On the third day, after reaching the peak of the "Cang Mang Ba Long Quan," you hit a bottleneck. It would take a long time to reach the ultimate level, so you decided to focus on the "Talisman True Book" and study talisman crafting.

Out of tens of thousands of talismans, you chose the two most violent attributes: Thunder Talisman and Fire Talisman. Mastering these two would make the rest of the attributes easier to understand.

By the fourth day, after experiencing tens of thousands of failed talismans, your materials become scarce, and your emotions fluctuate. You started to doubt your ability to become a "Talisman Master," even with the "Supreme Emperor Bone."

However, your unwillingness to give up drove you to keep going. On the fifth day, after nearly 100,000 failures, you had an epiphany and created a first-level "Thunder Talisman," becoming a first-level talisman master. Though the Thunder Talisman was weak and had little effect on you, the success brought you great joy.

"It worked!" Lu Gan couldn’t hide his excitement as he clenched his fists. The continuous success in the simulator showed him that, given enough time, he could grow stronger at an unprecedented rate.

"As long as I have enough villain points for simulations, I can learn from the Sword God of Shilipu and rush out of the Novice Village, sweeping everything in my path."

After five days of high-intensity cultivation, you fell into a deep state of fatigue. Even your cultivation speed began to slow down. Realizing that too much haste can lead to setbacks, you decided to take a break from practicing.

You opened the door to the secret room and asked Su Meng, who had been guarding outside, about recent events.

"Mr. Lu, the Demon City has been calm these past few days, nothing has changed," Su Meng reported.

Unlike the second simulation, where you were caught in a deadly trap set by the mastermind, everything seemed calm this time. There was no bloody conflict between the Lu family and the Gu family, and Zhao Kun hadn’t been killed. It seemed that the situation had changed.

In the second simulation, you had been surrounded and attacked by the Zhao family's ancestor, a powerful Saint-level warrior, and numerous men in black. But now, with Zhao Kun alive and the Zhao family intact, there was no reason for the ancestor to risk genocide by attacking you.

You guessed that the mastermind lacked high-end combat power and was uncertain about your situation, so he likely suspended his plans for now. However, you suspected he was preparing a more vicious move.

You glanced at Su Meng, who had been trained to look and act exactly like you. His demeanor and temperament were almost identical, proving Lu Zhong’s special training had been effective.

"By the way, Mr. Lu, a mysterious secret realm seems to have appeared in the sea area of the Magic City recently, attracting many people to visit," Su Meng suddenly said.

You frowned, recalling the second simulation when Liu Ruyue had mentioned the same thing. Back then, you had dismissed it as a trap set by the mastermind.

Just then, Lu Zhong entered and interrupted your thoughts.

"Mr. Lu, the young master of the Li family, Li Yang, is here. He said he wants to see you about something."
