Chapter 46 Talisman Treasure: The Golden Armor of Ten Thousand Blades

Seeing that Jiang Chen was interested, Li Yuanshan smiled slightly and pointed to the talisman.

"Junior Brother Jiang, this is a talisman treasure. With your status, you should have heard of it, right?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen was both surprised and delighted: "You mean this is a talisman treasure refined by a Core Formation cultivator extracting the essence of a magic weapon?"

Li Yuanshan was very satisfied with Jiang Chen's reaction, his face full of pride: "That's right, this talisman comes from the Thousand Blades Golden Armor, and its owner was originally a Core Formation elder in the sect."

Before his death, he drained the essence from his magical artifact and refined several talismanic treasures to protect his descendants.

Unfortunately, his descendants were incompetent and sold this item to my weapon-refining hall.

After hearing his explanation, Jiang Chen gradually recalled his memories of the talisman.

After all, talismanic treasures contain the essence of magic treasures. Even if their power is far less than that of real magic treasures, they are still at the Core Formation level.

Even a Qi Refining cultivator activating a talisman can pose a threat to a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

If I buy this talisman, I will have a powerful trump card.

However, talismans are not magic weapons. Each time they are used, a portion of the magic weapon's essence is lost and cannot be recovered.

Generally speaking, a perfectly intact talisman can only be used five or six times.

Moreover, activating the talisman requires time and the infusion of a large amount of mana.

When facing a melee expert like Black Wolf, there's simply no time to unleash your power.

Moreover, the spiritual sense and magical power of Qi Refining cultivators are too weak, making it like a small horse pulling a large cart when it comes to activating talisman treasures.

Only by reaching the Foundation Establishment stage can the value of the talisman be fully realized.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen said, "This talisman is good, but I'm afraid I don't have the ability to use it. With my current cultivation level, it will probably take me half an hour to activate it."

"In such a long time, the enemy could have easily killed me."

Li Yuanshan seemed eager to sell the talisman, so he tried his best to persuade him.

"Junior Brother Jiang, you are mistaken. Although using talismans requires a lot of mana, it is not necessary to inject mana temporarily."

The materials used in talismans have the function of temporarily storing magical power. When not in use, magical power can be injected into the talisman paper, which can be stored for up to one day.

"Once it's been nurtured with magical power beforehand, this talisman will function just like a regular talisman; it can be used immediately upon being thrown out."

"Just think about it, a talisman that can be used directly has enough power to kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator. How valuable would that be?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen was intrigued. He could nurture the talisman treasure a day in advance, and once it was nurtured, it could be used like a regular talisman.

The benefits of early nurturing are completely useless to others.

After all, no one can predict when they will need to use the talisman a day later, so how can they nurture it in advance? If they nurture it every day, it will consume a lot of mana out of thin air, which a Qi Refining cultivator simply cannot withstand.

But I am different; I can enter dreams and simulate the future.

The maximum time allowed for a single dream entry is now seven and a half days. Restoring Dream Butterfly energy takes a maximum of twenty hours.

In this situation, he can use dream simulation to completely cover the future.

If a powerful enemy were to attack him, he could know in advance and prepare talismans to counterattack.

Seeing the change in Jiang Chen's expression, Li Yuanshan knew there was hope.

"Junior Brother Jiang, this Thousand-Blade Golden Armor is no ordinary talisman. Its owner was not only skilled in weapon crafting but also a sword cultivator. This treasure is his masterpiece, a result of integrating swordsmanship into a defensive magic weapon."

"Hidden within the golden armor are thousands upon thousands of sword beams, each powerful enough to kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the early stages."

"After activating the talisman, a golden armored phantom will appear, with extremely strong defensive capabilities. Even against a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, this golden armored phantom can withstand the attack for a quarter of an hour."

Moreover, when the golden armor is attacked, it will automatically unleash at least one sword beam in retaliation.

Hearing him say that, Jiang Chen was certain that there was definitely a big problem with this talisman.

Otherwise, such a powerful and versatile talisman would never be put up for sale; the Golden Cauldron Sect would fight tooth and nail to acquire it.

Even if they were to be taken out, they would most likely end up at an auction house.

"This talisman is so powerful that, if there are no major problems, it should be put up for auction or kept as a trump card by some manager within the Golden Cauldron Sect."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanshan smiled awkwardly: "It really can't be hidden from Junior Brother Jiang. This Thousand Blade Golden Armor does indeed have a major flaw."

The sword beams released by the golden-armored phantom were extremely difficult to control; they flew erratically and rarely hit anyone, with a considerable chance of striking the phantom itself.

"Among the descendants of the original owner of the Thousand Blades Golden Armor, one of them used this talisman to fight against an enemy. After killing the powerful enemy, he removed the Thousand Blades Golden Armor."

As soon as he put away his Thousand Blades Golden Armor, his arm was severed by a sword beam that had been released earlier.

The elder's descendants dared not use the talisman anymore and wanted to sell it for spirit stones.

Hearing him say that, Jiang Chen also felt it was outrageous.

"I originally thought this talisman was good for both offense and defense, but it turns out only its defensive function is reliable. Its offensive capabilities depend entirely on luck, and if you're unlucky, you might even hurt yourself."

Therefore, the actual value of this talisman is less than that of a purely defensive talisman.

At this moment, Jiang Chen noticed that Li Yuanshan said the sword light emitted by the Thousand Blades Golden Armor was difficult to control, but not absolutely impossible to control.

"Senior Brother Li, is the sword light emitted by this Thousand Blades Golden Armor truly completely uncontrollable?"

Li Yuanshan shook his head: "No, it's just that it's difficult to control and extremely taxing on one's spiritual energy."

With more practice, it's still possible to achieve mastery over time.

Hearing him say that, Jiang Chen understood.

"But talismans aren't magic weapons; they can only be used five or six times at most. How can users possibly have the opportunity to practice? And each time they practice, they risk losing an arm or even their life."

That's what he said, but he still really liked the Thousand Blades Golden Armor Talisman.

Others may not have the opportunity to practice, but you do. You can practice while simulating the future in a dream.

If one can skillfully control the sword's aura, one can even go toe-to-toe with a Foundation Establishment cultivator by relying on this talisman.

Even if I break through to the Foundation Establishment realm in the future, I can still use this treasure as a trump card.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen immediately said, "I'll take the Golden Gang Pendant. As for the Myriad Blade Golden Armor Talisman, if the price is right, I can buy it too."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanshan excitedly rubbed his hands together: "The price is negotiable. This Golden Vajra Pendant is a mid-grade second-rank magic weapon, and it's of good quality. Its power is also quite strong. I'll give you a price of three hundred spirit stones."

"As for this Thousand Blade Golden Armor Talisman, you know the price of the talisman, Junior Brother Jiang. Even the worst one costs more than a thousand spirit stones."

However, considering the major flaws in this talisman, I'll give you a 40% discount, let's say 600 spirit stones.

Jiang Chen shook his head, a mocking look on his face: "I say, Senior Brother Li, are you a weapon refiner or a shrewd businessman?"

"Tell me, in what ways is this Myriad Blades Golden Armor Talisman superior to the Golden罡佩 (Golden罡佩)?"

While the Golden Armor's defensive capabilities are indeed inferior to the Thousand-Blade Golden Armor, it is an energy-rechargeable magical artifact, theoretically having no limit on the number of uses.

The Thousand-Blade Golden Armor Talisman is indeed powerful, but it can only be used five or six times. Its defensive capabilities are decent, but its offensive power is inconsistent and might even backfire.

Compared to the other, the Thousand Blades Golden Armor has an extremely high potential, but its potential is far inferior to the Golden Gang Pendant.
