Before releasing, Jeming was already prepared for failure, but what is happening now?!

From what he feels, the Talisman should have been successfully released, but why is there only this small flame?

Unwilling to give up, Jeming tried several more times.

Quickly, he understood the pattern: the size of the flame is positively correlated with the amount of True Essence he injects when activating the Talisman. The more True Essence he injects, the bigger the flame.

When he injected most of his True Essence from the Qi Cultivation Third Layer, the flame released reached the power described in the classics.

This has completely become a waste!

If the power of releasing a Talisman depends on the amount of True Essence one injects, then it’s better to just release the same magic directly by hand, at least it’s more flexible and doesn’t require advanced crafting!

Moreover, if releasing magic by hand achieves the same power, it consumes less True Essence, whereas using a Talisman consumes a lot of extra force.

This is totally different from the so-called “only needing a trace of Spiritual Power to activate” described in the classics!

After several more attempts, summarizing his current problems, Jeming immediately began to visit the Great Dao Book Pavilion.

After spending another half month carefully studying the books provided by the Great Dao Book Pavilion and advanced alchemy knowledge, Jeming finally understood the fundamental difference between the Cultivation Immortality System Talisman and the Extraordinary Tools of the Wizard World.

“The essence of the Talisman is not simply energy storage or activation. It’s more like a sophisticated ‘starter’ or ‘program’.” Jeming took out a shimmering gold Talisman and carefully looked at the patterns on it.

“The Talisman prints are a kind of ‘index’ and ‘invoke’ instructions for the Spiritual Power of Heaven and Earth. During activation, the Talisman will use the weak Spiritual Power of the activator as a ‘key’, then use the Talisman prints as ‘programs’ to invoke, aggregate, and stimulate a large amount of environmental Spiritual Power, thereby releasing a complete and powerful magic.”

“Of course, if conditions permit, one can also prepare some powerful forces in advance, then directly invoke them with the Talisman.”

“The Cultivation Immortality World is rich in Spiritual Qi, permeating everywhere. So only a trace of activating Spiritual Power is needed for the Talisman to automatically invoke the endless Spiritual Power from the environment, releasing powerful magic.”

“But the Wizard World lacks Spiritual Qi, so the Talisman cannot invoke the Spiritual Power from the environment, and its ‘program’ naturally cannot run completely. The flame size is merely the result of one’s own injected True Essence temporarily aggregated and stimulated within the Talisman structure, not the inherent power of the Talisman. Moreover, because additional force is consumed to activate other ineffective ‘programs’, the power is even less than directly releasing magic.”

Jeming then pulled out a Scroll made entirely of animal fur, which has a similar effect to a Talisman; just input a bit of Spiritual Power to release a Flame Magic.

Although this item is very cheap, only costing 10 points for a roll, not many people buy it.

Because a Witchcraft Artifact with the same effect costs at least 100 points but can be repeatedly recharged for use.

“And the mainstream Extraordinary Tools of the Wizard World, such as Magic Scrolls, Magic Wands, or one-time Talismans, their principles are completely different from Talismans.”

Jeming activated the Scroll aimed at the target on the training ground, watching the Scroll instantly turn to gray ashes and launch a Fireball.

During this process, there was no change at all in the surrounding Elemental Power.

“They store a complete witchcraft along with the energy needed to cast it, in advance within the carrier. The wizard only needs to inject weak Spiritual Power as a ‘switch’ or ‘password’ to directly stimulate and release this stored, fixed-power witchcraft.”

“The advantage of this method is that, unless under extreme rules or circumstances (such as artificial Forbidden Magic zones), witchcraft artifacts can be directly activated and release a complete witchcraft anytime and anywhere, only requiring recharging afterward to release again.”

“The downside is that its power does not relate to the user’s own strength and merely depends on the manufacturer’s skills. Its flexibility is also poor; if a Fireball is stored, then only a Fireball can be released, with no adjustments or control options.”

Summarizing the technical differences between the two worlds, Jeming’s eyes suddenly brightened!

He found the idea of combining the advantages of technologies from both worlds!

The advantage of Cultivation Immortality Talismans lies in their low activation cost and dependency on environmental energy, while the advantage of Wizard’s Witchcraft Artifacts lies in their stability and ability to release fixed-power witchcraft in any environment.

The Wizard World’s environmental energy is not “Spiritual Qi”, but rather omnipresent Elemental Energy.

If… if he could learn the principles of Cultivation Immortality Talismans, not store the energy of witchcraft in the carrier in advance, but inscribe the Spell Model and instructions for invoking Wizard World’s environmental Elemental Energy on the Artifact?

In this way, as long as the Artifact is not damaged and the external Elemental Power is not depleted, he could, like using a Talisman, simply use minimal Spiritual Power as a “key” to continuously stimulate the Artifact, allowing it to automatically attract Elemental Energy from the environment to repeat the release of magic!

This kind of Artifact, as long as there is Elemental Energy present in the environment, would have no usage limit and requires only weak Spiritual Power to activate.

Of course, similar items actually exist in both the Wizard World and the Cultivation Immortality World, but the efficiency of wizards leveraging external energy is definitely nowhere near that of cultivators who cherish unity with Heaven and Man.

When energy is insufficient, wizards are more inclined to directly construct Elemental Pools to enhance energy supply, rather than mobilize more external forces.

The Cultivation Immortality World also has Jade Talismans similar to “storing a strike from a big figure” for a life-saving measure, but such things are difficult to manufacture and costly.

Jeming aims to graft the advantages of Cultivation Immortality Talismans — “low activation cost + invocation of environmental energy” — onto the Wizard World’s “environment Elemental Energy + stable activation” system.

Integrating the advantages of both systems into one, developing his own power!

After the excitement, Jeming also realized the difficulty involved.

To realize this idea, he cannot simply replicate Talisman prints like carving Talismans.

He must completely understand the underlying logic and function of every stroke of each print on the Talisman — which part is the “starter,” which part is “indexing environmental energy,” which part is “building the Spell Model,” which part is “stimulating release”…

Then he needs to use his understanding of Wizard World’s runes, energy structures, and Spell Models to gradually replace these “functional modules” of the Talisman with rune combinations, energy circuits, or even concept guides that correspond to Elemental Energy and Magic Power interaction in the Wizard World!

This requires him not only to be proficient in Wizard World’s rune and witchcraft theories but also to have a thorough understanding of Talisman principles from the Great Dao Book Pavilion.

“However… compared to the indigenous wizard of this world, I already have a considerable advantage.”

After all, he already has a clear direction, and there are many examples he can “borrow,” so he wouldn’t be as clueless as the wizards of this world.

“Ah, had I known I’d have this idea, I should have inscribed the core rune of Rune Science as my Fourth Truth Rune first…”

Jeming was somewhat annoyed: “Forget it, luckily my cultivation speed is not slow right now, I’ll take it slow…”
