Repairer

"Yes, your cultivation has improved very quickly!"

Su Xiaofan looked at Jiang Zhen with his eyes and nodded slightly. Unfortunately, he couldn't use his spiritual sense to detect and could only see some superficial things.

The energy in Jiang Zhen's body was almost completely different from that of Sun Wu. The first thing he sensed was not the surging force of energy and blood, but a sinister energy that was constantly corroding his body.

But under this Yin evil energy, there is another layer of defensive formations, which reduces the power of Yin evil by 80%, and only the remaining 20% ​​is stimulating Jiang Zhen's body, thus continuously breeding the warrior's blood.

This method is naturally the most powerful thing about carving formation patterns on the body. It makes Jiang Zhen almost no need to practice and can improve his cultivation every day. This is also the reason why he can become the King of Martial Arts even though he has average qualifications.

"But the way forward is blocked."

Shen Haodong took a breath. Jiang Zhen was originally a son of his Shen family, and he had been with Shen Haodong since he was a child. However, after spending more than a hundred years together, although the two were masters and servants, they were actually like masters and disciples.

"Engraving array patterns on the physical body can certainly quickly improve cultivation and enhance actual combat capabilities, but it is also a constraint on the physical body."

Shen Haodong's eyes looked at Su Xiaofan. From ancient times to the present, any warrior who asked Grandmaster Fu Lu to carve formation patterns has never been able to step into the realm of martial saint.

Even if there were, it would only have the combat power of a Martial Saint, but it would not be able to mobilize the energy of heaven and earth like a Martial Saint.

Another point is that the lifespan of a talisman warrior is shorter than that of a normal warrior who breaks through the realm.

Take Sun Wu, for example, after he became King Wu, his life span was 200 years old, but as long as he did not suffer any fatal injuries, it would not be a big problem to live to 256 years old, but his cultivation level would gradually decline after the age of 200 years.

But among the Talisman warriors, King Wu, according to records, has never lived more than two hundred years old. Even if he takes the life-extending treasures of heaven and earth, it is difficult for him to survive the two hundred years old limit.

Some people even call warriors with formation patterns engraved on them as talisman warriors to distinguish them from warriors who practice orthodox training.

Of course, this does not mean that talisman warriors are undesirable. Just imagine how many people in the world can become Martial Kings. Most people live a mediocre life.

Moreover, it is not easy to become a talisman warrior. Only a talisman master who has touched the threshold of a grandmaster can carve array patterns on the body of a warrior.

Moreover, the resources used to carve the body are not available to ordinary people, and that is the blood essence of monsters!

Monster essence blood and monster blood are two completely different concepts.

A monster that weighs hundreds of kilograms or even tons may have hundreds of kilograms or more of blood in its body.

But blood essence is extracted from hundreds of kilograms of blood. One hundred kilograms of blood may not be able to extract a drop of blood essence.

To carve formation patterns on the body requires at least thirty to fifty drops of blood essence, which means that at least thirty to fifty monster beasts of the same level must be hunted to extract so much blood essence.

The formation pattern engraved during the martial arts period is not very demanding. It only requires the blood essence of the little demon level, and even the blood essence of the more powerful spirits can be barely used.

But when the time comes to carve formation patterns again in the martial arts realm, the blood essence and blood of the demon beasts of the first level of the big demon are needed. Compared with the small demons, the big demon is naturally more difficult to hunt, and it is twice as difficult to obtain the blood essence.

After becoming a military commander, the essence and blood to carve the physical formation patterns will require the essence and blood extracted from the bodies of the demonic beasts in the late stage of the Great Demon.

It goes without saying that the King of Martial Arts needs the blood essence and blood needed to carve the body, which is the blood essence of the Demon King. Just imagine how difficult it is to hunt down the Demon King, and you will know how difficult it is to become a Martial King-level talisman warrior.

Moreover, it must be engraved by the master of talisman himself, which cannot be completed by a master-level talisman master.

But relatively speaking, it is actually the most difficult to obtain blood essence when you are a martial artist.

Because late-stage demon beasts and demon king-level demon beasts are often huge in size. If you find a good target and are lucky, you may be able to extract enough blood essence to engrav the array pattern by hunting one.

Of course, hunting down the demon king is not easy, so most of the followers around the Fu Lu Master are general-level warriors.

For one thing, Master Fu Lu was unable to complete the engraving of the Martial King level formation patterns. Another point was that it was difficult for them to obtain the blood essence of the Demon King. Only the Martial King, Martial Saint or Grand Master Fu Lu could obtain it.

If the Fu Lu Master has not reached the master level, his combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the warrior. Those followers are used to protect the Fu Lu Master. If there is danger, the Fu Lu Master will definitely fight with his life to protect the Fu Lu Master from harm.

In this way, the essence and blood resources needed by followers often require Talisman Masters to prepare them. After all, others have sold their lives to you, so you can't spend money to practice by yourself.

So if you want to know the level of a Talisman Master, it's actually very simple. Even if you don't see the Talisman Master in person, you can tell by seeing their appearance.

Master Fu Lu must be protected by four or five general-level warriors, and there will also be many martial artists who follow him, hoping to be favored by the master and become the next general-level warrior.

The Fu Lu Master can only carve formation patterns for the martial arts disciples, and naturally the highest number of followers around him are the martial arts practitioners, and his appearance is much lower-key than that of the Fu Lu Master.

As for Shen Haodong, the only regular follower around him is King Wu, Jiang Zhen. He is the one with the fewest followers of King Wu among the three major Fu Lu masters in the world.

But Shen Haodong's methods are not comparable to those of the other two Fu Lu Grandmasters. His combat power is not weaker than that of Wu Sheng. Even if something happens, Shen Haodong does not need the protection of King Wu.

Although only the Fu Lu Grandmaster can become the Fu Lu Wu King, there are not many Fu Lu Wu Kings in the world.

The reason is very simple. If the Fu Lu warriors who follow Master Fu Lu can gather the resources to carve the Martial King's formation pattern, and can get through the path of the Fu Lu Grandmaster, they can also ask the Grand Master to help carve the formation pattern and become the Martial King.

Some of these talisman warriors who have become Martial Kings will continue to follow the original talisman masters, while others will dissolve the relationship and kill the demon beasts and gods alone to obtain resources, or become the force of a big force to guard one side.

Therefore, although Shen Haodong did not have more followers of King Wu, if he raised his arms and raised his voice, he would be able to gather many Fu Lu Wu King to follow his orders in a very short time.

That's because when these Talisman Martial Kings fight against monsters, Yin gods or human warriors, if their bodies are seriously injured, the Talisman formation patterns on their bodies will be damaged.

In this case, King Fu Lu Wu needs Grandmaster Fu Lu to help them repair the formation pattern, otherwise King Fu Lu Wu will be greatly reduced in combat power and even fall out of the realm of King Wu.

Just imagine how it is possible to avoid fighting in this difficult environment for human survival. The best way is naturally to become a follower of Master Fu Lu, so that you will not be afraid of damage to the array pattern at all.

But the other two Fu Lu Grandmasters have many followers. Their access to resources is limited and they cannot afford to support so many. They will not help the Fu Lu Wu King who is not their followers to repair the formation pattern at will.

Therefore, some warriors who find ways to become Fu Lu Martial Kings, every time they are injured, they can only use a lot of resources and ask the master to help repair it.

Since Shen Haodong only has one follower, he is also the most talkative person compared to the two masters, so he has an excellent reputation among the Fu Luwu kings and is respected by many Fu Luwu kings.

Shen Haodong's words were spoken in front of Jiang Zhen. Shen Haodong made it clear about the pros and cons when he first carved formation patterns on Jiang Zhen. Therefore, becoming a talisman warrior was also Jiang Zhen's own choice.

"Master Shen, I am already satisfied if I can reach the realm of King Wu."

Jiang Zhen, who was standing next to him, had a calm expression on his face. Although King Fu Lu Wu had a shorter lifespan than a normal King Wu, his combat power was actually stronger.

And if Master Shen hadn't helped him carve the formation patterns, Jiang Zhen didn't think he had any hope of being promoted to the King of Martial Arts in this life. He might not even be able to reach the level of a military general, let alone live for more than a hundred years.

"With Brother Qingshan here, I might be able to help you break through to the Martial Saint."

Shen Haodong cast his eyes on Su Xiaofan. If anyone could break the curse that prevented Talisman warriors from becoming saints, then Shen Haodong felt that it must be his good big brother.

"Master Qingshan, is there any hope?"

When Jiang Zhen heard this, he also looked at Su Xiaofan. He became a Martial Saint and could live up to five hundred years. If possible, Jiang Zhen naturally did not want to turn into a bowl of loess in a few decades.

"Your teacher is posing a difficult problem for me."

Su Xiaofan smiled and shook his head. He carefully checked the avatar's records about the Talisman Warriors and found out that he knew a lot about the Talisman Warriors.

There are two most critical points for a Talisman warrior to advance.

One thing is naturally to engrave talismans on the body, which requires the action of a talisman master. Talisman warriors of different levels also need corresponding talisman masters. Jiang Zhen does not suffer in this regard. Shen Haodong is already the strongest talisman master in the world. .

But in order for King Fu Lu Wu to become a Martial Saint, it is not enough for Shen Haodong to take action. He must also obtain the blood of the Demon Saint.

In fact, strictly speaking, the essence and blood of the Demon Saint is the key to preventing King Fu Lu from advancing to the Martial Saint.

Not counting those Martial Saints hidden by the big forces, there are only a few Martial Saints on the surface of humanity, which shows how rare the number of Martial Saints is.

The same is true for Demon Saints. Each Demon Saint is a strong man who suppresses countless demon clans in mountain and forest areas. Even if such a being is defeated by a Martial Saint, it will be difficult to kill him. Escape is always possible.

Therefore, in the records of human history, it is very rare for the Demon Saint to be killed. On the contrary, when the Demon Saint drives the beast tide to attack the city, the powerful Martial King is often hunted by the Demon Saint.

And if a demon saint is beheaded by humans, it will definitely cause a war between the demon clan and the human race. In the end, the human race will often suffer the most losses.

Therefore, in order to enhance the strength of King Fu Lu and advance him to the realm of Martial Saint, he must first have the essence and blood of the Demon Saint, which even Master Fu Lu would find difficult to achieve.

Of course, things are not absolute. For countless years, there have always been some extremely talented people who can obtain the blood of the demon saint.

If the Fu Lu Grandmaster arranges the formation in advance, coupled with the powerful Fu Lu, there is hope of killing the demon saint. Someone has done this in the history of the human race.

People with better luck are like Shen Haodong. When he traveled with Su Xiaofan in the early years, he once got a small bottle of the blood of the demon saint.

However, that small bottle of demon saint's essence blood was used by Shen Haodong a hundred or two hundred years ago, and now he does not have the demon saint's essence blood in his hand.

But even if Shen Haodong had the blood of the Demon Saint in his hands, he would not dare to rashly carve the formation patterns on Jiang Zhen, because this involved the second key point for King Fu Lu Wu to advance to the Martial Saint.

That is, the blood of the demon saint's essence is too powerful. King Fu Luwu simply cannot bear the blood of the demon saint's essence. He often explodes and dies in the middle of the engraving.

According to some ancient records obtained by Shen Haodong, even the most powerful Fuluwu King could not withstand the huge energy of the demon saint's essence blood, and very few Fuluwu Kings could last even half of it.

And Jiang Zhen is only the cultivation and physical body of the middle stage King Wu. If he starts to carve formation patterns on his physical body now, the result will be 100% dead.

Therefore, if Jiang Zhen wants to become a Fu Lu Martial Saint, he needs to have a physical body that far surpasses all Fu Lu Martial Kings. If he cannot do this, he will only lose his life by carving formation patterns.

"Brother Qingshan, I just want you to help him polish his body. I will find a way to use the essence and blood."

When Shen Haodong saw Su Xiaofan silently, he felt a little anxious. If Su Xiaofan had nothing to do, no one in the world could make Jiang Zhen advance to the Fulu Martial Saint.

Helping a Fu Lu Martial King to become a Fu Lu Martial Saint has been Shen Haodong's biggest wish since he became the Fu Lu Grandmaster.

Shen Haodong wants to break this barrier that his predecessors could not achieve, so that the Fu Lu warriors can truly become the same existence as other warriors, and protect the human race on this land.

"Can you get the blood of the demon saint?"

Su Xiaofan glanced at Shen Haodong, "Do you think you can really kill a demon saint with your formation and talismans?"

When Master Fu Lu confronts the Demon King, he really has many methods, especially Shen Haodong, who can draw talismans in the void. He can really kill the Demon King like the Martial Saint.

But the Demon Saint is completely different from the Demon King. They have already experienced the evolution of life levels. Even if Shen Haodong makes mental calculations and makes arrangements in advance, it is extremely difficult to kill the Demon Saint.

What's more, demon saints usually hide in the depths of mountains and forests. If you go deep into the mountains and forests, you will encounter countless demon clans. It is not as simple as Shen Haodong said.

Only people like Su Xiaofan, who has no warrior energy and blood in his body, and whose breath-condensing technique can make his breath like trees and rocks, can sneak into the mountains and forests silently and have a chance to kill the demon saint.

"Brother Qingshan, this...isn't this my wish?"

Facing Su Xiaofan, Shen Haodong, who was already two hundred years old, was still the same younger brother as before. He still looked at Su Xiaofan with an expression of admiration.

"Come on, you're over two hundred years old. Isn't that disgusting?"

Seeing the look on Shen Haodong's face, Su Xiaofan couldn't help but feel a chill. When he was in his teens, he could barely get away with pretending to be young, but this wrinkled old man pretending to be young made Su Xiaofan feel like he had eaten a fly.

"I can't do this anyway, it all depends on Brother Qingshan."

Shen Haodong is not afraid of being embarrassed in front of Jiang Zhen. Jiang Zhen is definitely one of his own, and he also knows about his relationship with Master Qingshan.

"This is really not easy to handle."

Su Xiaofan smiled bitterly and said to Jiang Zhen: "Take off your clothes and show me..."

In fact, Su Xiaofan can still kill a demon saint. After all, there are far more demon saints than human martial saints. Su Xiaofan alone knows about twenty or thirty demon saints.

Moreover, most of these demon saints hide in the depths of mountains and forests to refine energy and practice. Even the demon descendants of those demon saints have difficulty seeing demon saints often.

Therefore, it is not very difficult for Su Xiaofan to kill a demon saint quietly. In fact, there are several demon saints who have already used his recipe, but they have not yet freed up their hands to hunt them.

What made Su Xiaofan feel uncomfortable was Jiang Zhen's own physical strength.

According to Su Xiaofan's estimation, Jiang Zhen probably had to increase the strength of his physical body to the state of a half-step Martial Saint before he could have any chance of successfully engraving the Blood Formation of Demon Saint Essence.

And this possibility is not more than 30%. You must know that the essence and blood are the essence of a monster. Even a martial saint can't easily refine it, let alone engrave it on the body.

"Take off your clothes quickly."

When Shen Haodong saw Su Xiaofan's order, Jiang Zhen was still a little annoyed, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"yes!"

Jiang Zhen didn't dare to be negligent. Anyway, the two in front of him were men, so he wasn't afraid of them seeing him. He immediately took off all his clothes.

Jiang Zhen was tall and looked very tall and strong even when he was wearing clothes. But when his clothes were removed, his whole body was even more muscular. On the earth where Su Xiaofan was born, he looked like a strong gym man.

"Operation technique!" Su Xiaofan shouted in a low voice.

Jiang Zhen knew what Su Xiaofan wanted to see, so he took a deep breath and saw that his body suddenly grew three-thirds larger, and countless extremely complex talisman patterns appeared on the surface of Jiang Zhen's body.

From the beginning of martial arts, Shen Haodong has been carving formation patterns on Jiang Zhen's body. From the middle stage of martial arts, to the late stage of martial arts, and then to the military commander, King Wu, Shen Haodong will cover Jiang Zhen's body with a layer of talisman formation patterns every time his cultivation level increases.

In fact, usually talisman warriors will only carve talisman formation patterns once for each major realm.

But Shen Haodong was only a follower of Jiang Zhen. When he first trained Jiang Zhen, he consciously wanted him to be promoted to Martial Saint, so he paid much more than other Fu Lu masters.

At this moment, the talisman pattern that appeared on Jiang Zhen's body was glowing with dark red luster, exuding mysterious and inexplicable energy. However, Jiang Zhen, who originally only showed the aura of the middle stage Martial King, now has a sudden increase in aura, and he already has the appearance of a Martial Saint. .

Having put in so much more effort than other Fu Lu warriors, Jiang Zhen's strength is naturally much stronger than those Fu Lu Martial Kings. When he explodes with all his strength, he can indeed have the strength of an early stage Martial Saint.

"Attack, defend, gather breath, move quickly..."

Su Xiaofan looked at the talisman patterns on Jiang Zhen's body and counted them one by one. After a while, he frowned and turned to look at Shen Haodong.

"I said you helped him carve so many formation patterns, but why is there no spirit gathering? Didn't I teach you the spirit gathering formation?"

"Brother Qingshan, isn't it appropriate to have this... spirit-gathering formation engraved on your body?"

Shen Haodong was stunned for a moment when he heard this. The aura of heaven and earth here was not a good thing. The evil spirit contained in the aura energy could not be directly absorbed and refined by warriors.

In Shen Haodong's view, the greatest role of the spirit gathering formation is to place it inside the city and use it when some martial arts masters are promoted, so that they do not need to go to the wild to break through.

If such a set of formation patterns were engraved on Jiang Zhen's body, Shen Haodong was afraid that he would be directly refined by the evil energy, which would not be a gathering of spirits but a gathering of evil spirits.
