A sword talisman was a distinct method used by Human Immortal who had attained the Gold Core realm. The talisman itself was made using rare materials found in nature, and injected with a thread of sword energy into it by the Human Immortal. According to the quality of the material and the craftsmanship, the power a sword talisman could unleash usually ranging from ten to fifty percent of a sword energy strike of that particular Human Immortal. Only those sword talismans made using higher grade materials could unleash more than fifty percent of the strength.
The sword talisman in Taba Haofeng's hand was made from the juice of thousand years old 'Green Shell Leave', mixed with the skin of one hundred years 'Gold Toad'. These materials weren't of high quality, and the craftsmanship was just ordinary. Thus, the finished product was of the lowest grade. The strength it could unleash could barely reach nine percent of the strength of the Human Immortal who made it.
