“How did you see through my Shape Transformation Talisman? There’s an Earth Rank Low-level Magic spell sealed inside!”

“Earth Rank Low-level Magic spell?”

Lin Xuan couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. He remembered that more than a decade ago when he was still a little Spirit Condensation Stage disciple, he was very excited when he mastered the “Ice Needle Spell” because its power could be compared with High-level Magic spells.

At that time, he thought that there were only three types of Magic spells, Low-level, Mid-level, and High-Level. And that only cultivators of the Spirit Condensation Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator would use them. While those Core Formation Stage masters only used Magic Artifacts and were disdainful of Magic Spells.

But after achieving the Foundation Establishment Stage and obtaining the Jade slip which contained the “Nine Heavens Profound Art”, he realized that his understanding was completely wrong.

Magic spells were the simplest and most practical power for cultivators. They were not only very convenient for attacking but also defense, because they did not require the use of other mediums. They only needed one to mobilize their Spiritual Power to release them.

This path was very broad and profound. How could it stop at the Foundation Establishment Stage? Not to mention cultivators of the Core Formation Stage, even old monsters of the Nascent Soul Stage also used Magic spells as an important supplement to Magic Artifacts.

Naturally, there are not only three types of Magic Spells: Low-level, Mid-level, and High-level.

Technically speaking, it should be divided into three grades of Heaven, Earth, and Human, and each grade is divided into Low-level, Mid-level, and High-level, a total of nine levels.

Cultivators at the Spirit Condensation and the Foundation Establishment Stage use Human Rank Magic spell, while masters at the Core Formation and Nascent Soul Stage use the Earth Rank…

In fact, it was not just magic spells, even talismans. The talismans that Lin Xuan came into contact with were also just at the human rank, and there were even more powerful ones at the earth rank and heaven rank.

Of course, they were more complicated to make and were rarely sold in the market. Once they appeared in the world, they would need a sky-high price of Spirit Stones.

As for Hu Fan, he just changed into a stone by using a Earth Rank Low-level Magic spell called “Shape Transformation”. Which was an advanced skill that can only be learned by experts of the Core Formation Stage. Of course, only Core Formation Stage experts could see through it. But this kid…

A trace of murderous intent flashed across Lin Xuan’s face, and he naturally wouldn’t answer the other party’s question. It was just a fluke.

He didn’t expect someone to actually own such a Talisman!

Fortunately, his Spiritual Sense was far better than that of cultivators of the same rank. And it was barely comparable to experts of the Core Formation Initial Stage, otherwise, the consequences would’ve been unimaginable!

Being hit by the Thunderbolt technique without precautions, even If he didn’t die, he would definitely be seriously injured.

“Kid, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to say it. With you meeting me here, you’re as good as dead!”

Hu Fan’s face showed a hint of ferocity. Although Lin Xuan seeing through his Shape Transformation had confused him, he was just a cultivator at Foundation Establishment Initial Stage Cultivator. It should be a breeze to destroy him with his own magical powers.

Since the other party came to participate in the Trade Fair, he must definitely possess a lot of treasures!

Thinking of this, a trace of cruelty flashed across his face. He opened his mouth and spat out a silver Flying Sword.

A Top Grade Spirit Tool!

Sure enough, he deserved to be an expert of the Foundation Establishment Late-stage. The treasures he possessed are quite extraordinary, and the shape of the sword was quite weird. It was actually like a snake and was twisting in the sky.

“Go!”

Hu Fan cried out. The Flying Sword suddenly turned into a silver light and whistled towards Lin Xuan.

In the face of the other party’s attack, Lin Xuan’s face did not reveal the slightest panic, and he gently reached out, the round shield moved from the top of his head to the front.

After infusing it with Spiritual power, the round shield circled in front of him, and its body expanded, with a diameter of about ten feet. It covered his whole body’s front, blocking everything.

However, on Hu Fan’s face, an imperceptible sneer flashed through his eyes. He glanced at Lin Xuan and his expression was as if he was looking at a dead person.

In the blink of an eye, the silver streak of light flew to the front of the round shield. However, the two Spirit Tools did not collide with each other. The Flying Sword paused momentarily and twisted its body. It bypassed the round shield like a living creature and rushed towards Lin Xuan.

Those who fought him for the first time didn’t know the mystery of this Magic Artifact. It was an intelligent treasure with a soul of a Spirit Beast sealed inside it, so it could move on its own after it was taken out and would dodge all kinds of Spirit Tools and treasures. Because of being caught off guard, many experts died under this treasure even while possessing a higher cultivation base than him, let alone a rookie who knew nothing.

With a whoosh, the Ghost Snake Sword was about to stab Lin Xuan’s body, but a black dog suddenly gushed out and wrapped itself around the young man’s body.

“Eh?

Hu Fan was a little surprised. The fog seemed to emit a ghostly feeling. But before he could finish his thoughts, the sword had already flown in.

“Why are you pretending to be mysterious?”

Hu Fan scratched his scalp. He tried to avoid his own attack with a little trick. Did he think that his Ghost Snake Sword couldn’t break through a simple restriction?

There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth, but soon, his smile froze.

After the sword flew into the black fog, it was like a sea of mud without any waves or ripples. Gradually, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Hu Fan’s forehead, and he had a very bad feeling.

A stern look flashed across his face, and then he continuously made seals with his hands, but his expression was getting more and more ugly. The connection between the Ghost Snake Sword and his Spiritual Sense was cut off unexpectedly.

How is this possible?

The other party was obviously a Foundation Establishment Initial Stage cultivator. How could he possess such great power?

Hu Fan panicked, but he couldn’t believe what he saw.

Or rather, he didn’t want to believe it.

With a rumble, the mist surged and dispersed on both sides. He saw that Lin Xuan was standing there unharmed. Beside him, there was a huge ghost hand that was several feet long. It must have been formed by the fog and the Ghost Snake Sword was held by the strange hand.

The surface of the sword flashed with blue light from time to time, constantly jumping, and was obviously trying to break free from the strange hands.

With a calm expression, Lin Xuan turned his head and said, “This sword is good, I’ll take it.”

Then he extended his right hand, wrapped in a layer of cyan light, and grabbed the Ghost Snake Sword. As for the big hand formed from the mist, it also dissipated.
