The Immortal didn't hang the Storage Bag at her waist.

Xu Ni didn't either; she only took it out from her bosom to show off in front of Xian'er before entering the room.

Weng Liang and others knew about the Storage Bag, evidently tracking them for a long time.

Just as Weng Liang said, whether they hand over the Storage Bag or not, they are doomed. Remaining inside the cave, they would eventually starve to death.

What to do?

Xian'er felt anxious and bewildered.

Jiang Xiaoyue took a deep breath, trying not to look at Xu Ni whose arms had been severed, calming herself.

She pulled Xian'er deeper into the cave.

Weng Liang signaled to the rest, and they dispersed, surrounding the stone pillar from a distance to prevent the two from digging a hole to escape.

Inside the cave, Jiang Xiaoyue took out two Detoxification Pills.

"Xian'er," she consumed one pill and handed the other to Xian'er, "Hurry and find a Talisman that can help us now from the 'First Rank Talismans Compendium.'

"Right, Talismans!" Xian'er realized.

The God wouldn't help them, but First Rank Talismans might.

"I'm on it!" she exclaimed, running towards her confined cave.

"Take the Detoxification Pill to prevent any poison they might release!"

Inside the cave, Xian'er swallowed the Detoxification Pill and sat cross-legged.

She channeled Spiritual Power, circulating through the twelve Meridians of the Cloud Rain Green Wood Skill, and with practice, she instinctively forgot everything, focusing intently.

After one cycle, she was completely calm.

She took out the 'First Rank Talismans Compendium,' flipping through carefully yet swiftly.

"Compendium" was naturally an exaggeration.

Who dares claim they've compiled all First Rank Talismans? Not even the Seven Great Sects combined dare to do so, let alone books purchasable in marketplaces.

In her heart, Xian'er prayed that regardless of whether it was a compendium, it must contain a Talisman that could help them!

The beginning is filled with ordinary everyday Talismans like Dust-clearing Charm, Arousal Talisman, Water Drinking Talisman, followed by Water Arrow Talisman, Moon Blade Talisman, Fireball Talisman, and more common Talismans.

Not until the last few pages did Talismans above the sixth level appear.

The book was not thick, and only the last few pages remained.

She flipped a page:

The scarlet Rune was brilliant and dazzling, resembling a flowing Flame, a Fire Spirit Talisman;

The second page:

No complex and mysterious Runes, entirely appearing as a pool of black ink, deep and unfathomable, seemingly connected to another world.

The Big Octopus Talisman.

Being within, even basic directions like up, down, left, and right become blurred, reportedly capable of blocking Divine Sense from Foundation Establishment early-stage.

Xian'er bit her lower lip, stared and hesitated for a while, then flipped to the third page.

Thunder Sound Talisman: releases a Fury sound wave strong enough to stun Foundation Establishment early-stage for one second, rendering Qi Refinement phase unconscious.

The drawback is, the First Rank eighth-level Thunder Sound Talisman does not differentiate between friend and foe.

The fourth page, Thunderbolt Talisman: releases an incredibly fast lightning bolt with powerful penetrating Ability.

The fifth page, Golden Light Talisman.

A book 'First Rank Talismans Compendium,' only had five high-level Talismans, two of which overlapped with the ones they had.

Thunder Sound Talisman, Thunderbolt Talisman, Big Octopus Talisman, none were subpar.

Paired with the Golden Light Talisman, the three of them might break out, even defeating the adversary completely.

The problem was, with Xian'er's energy, she could only comprehend one Talisman in a short period.

Should it be the Thunder Sound Talisman she could control, or the strongest attacking Thunderbolt Talisman, or the Big Octopus Talisman that disrupts Perception?

Xian'er turned the scroll to the Thunderbolt Talisman, then flipped back to the Thunder Sound...

She stained her fingers with ink, clutched the tree branch, channeling Mana.

Memories surged, resembling dust-covered past swept gently away.

First, the Thunder Sound Talisman's Talisman Pen was dissected; she practiced for ten years, finally confident;

Traveling far and wide, climbing high mountains, listening to the thunderous sounds of the world, ultimately in a thunder that shattered the mountain snow, the Talisman became Low Grade.

After another decade, she mastered all available Sound Wave Techniques, finally elevating the Thunder Sound Talisman to Middle Grade.

Twenty years later, during a spring thunder, an epiphany occurred, turning the Talisman to Top Grade.

Memories were so vivid, as if they were real experiences, but soon faded away. The forty years ultimately left only the Thunder Sound Talisman's insights.

The pen danced like dragons and serpents.

It landed on the Talisman Paper, forming a complex and mysterious wave-patterned Rune, as if sealed Thunder Sound clutched tightly onto it.

The spiritual light within the Rune circulated, forming a Top Grade Talisman.

"Drip~"

Xian'er wiped away the nosebleed and turned the scroll to the Thunderbolt Talisman.

[Are you sure you want to continue?]

"Lord God, will you stop me?"

[No]

"So continuing won't be dangerous, right?" Xian'er beamed radiantly.

[...you've got me figured out, haven't you?]

Xian'er giggled sneakily.

Li Changzhou chuckled lightly: [If you manage to overcome this crisis, I'll allow you to pre-spend the Qi Refining Seventh Layer reward and grant you another reward for establishing a market.]

"Can the two rewards be exchanged for a wish?" Xian'er asked.

[To heal Xu Ni?]

Xian'er pursed her lips, emitting a sound from her heart: "Yes."

Missing two arms, even if Xu Ni survives, many Cultivation Techniques and Spells become untrainable, effectively rendering her life wasted.

[You may let her survive, allowing you to trade the Qi Refining Seventh Layer reward.]

"Thank you, Lord God!" Xian'er was elated, her spirit lifted.

She charged ahead, injecting Mana.

Once again, memories surged.

In an instant, Xian'er completed vast amounts of practice, actual combat, and epiphanies regarding the Thunderbolt Talisman.

Drip, drip, drip~

Thunderbolt Talisman, formed into Top Grade.

Blood surrounded the Talisman, seemingly nurtured and irrigated by fresh blood.

Xian'er opened her eyes, saw nothing, her brain buzzing and convulsing, sharp pain stabbing, as if a hand stirring inside her head.

After a long while, her sight started to recover, gradually clearing.
