Chapter 471: Chapter 347: Two New Fourth Grade Talismans

Police station.

Su Yanyan ran in with a look of horror on her face!

“I want to report a crime!”

“Miss, please come with me, what happened? Take it easy…”

“I was just kidnapped by a saw!”

“Which kind of saw?”

“It’s not about which saw, the Saw ah! A tape recorder, a mechanism, and then a whole game setup of Saw!”

“… (drawing)”

“Game data? (A page of code. A sketch)”

“Not that fake data, the real Saw!”

“… (drawing)”

“This data? (A USB drive. A sketch)”

“It’s the Saw from the movies! My suitor is the Saw!”

“Oh~ (drawing)”

(A saw lying horizontally. A sketch)

“Saw Ah!!!”

(The paper turned 90 degrees)

(A saw standing vertically. A sketch)

“Saw is actually a pseudonym; he’s a person! Tian Zhe! You must catch him immediately! He disfigured my face!”

“Just yesterday?”

“To be precise, around early this morning! Also my hand, it was drilled through, my face was slashed, and my scalp was broken!”

Su Yanyan vigorously showed her wounds which had already completely healed, leaving only some scars.

At this moment, her left face had a few faint red scars that looked somewhat hideous, her fingers had new flesh grown over, and there was a bald spot on top of her head which looked like an old injury.

“All these… happened today?”

“Yes! Last night, I was sleeping! Right! My… boyfriend’s head got chopped off! Just like that, it fell at my feet.”

The police officer pondered for a moment.

“Miss, please show your ID card.”

“Here you go!”

“Go check which hospital she ran out of… (whispers to assistant)”

Su Yanyan: “?”

At the insistent request of Su Yanyan, whose mental check appeared abnormal, and also due to the concern for the possible occurrence of a beheaded victim, the police still followed Su Yanyan to the scene of the crime—the hotel.

Then they saw Jiang Chen, who was checking out at the front desk.

“Ah!!!”

Su Yanyan screamed in terror and sat down on the ground with a thump.

Then Jiang Chen glared at her fiercely, “Stupid bitch!”

Then, holding a red mark on his neck, he walked away quickly.

“Miss Su, what’s wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?”

“No… it’s nothing, I’m not filing a report anymore, it was just a dream I had yesterday, my mistake… my…”

Her voice trailed off slowly.

The police officer looked at Su Yanyan and shook his head.

If it weren’t for the fact that a blood test had just shown no other substances, they might have thought Su Yanyan was high on something.

“Take her to the hospital, observe her for some time…”

Su Yanyan remembered the last sight of Tian Zhe.

“Su Yanyan, people mostly won’t feel grateful for being alive, and you probably won’t any longer.”

“The head of Jiang Chen, your scars… these are the last gifts I leave you.”

She mumbled:

“I can’t tell… I can’t tell apart…”

…

Tian Zhe had already witnessed his own mystery.

And he had imagined a cultivation system, sitting in Yang Genshuo’s garden, attempting to draw in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for immortal cultivation.

“Brother Shuo, I feel like I am already in immortal cultivation… My spirit and body are undergoing subtle changes, my mind is becoming clearer, could it be that spiritual sense is about to appear?”

Yang Genshuo gave him a dismissive look.

“Nonsense.”

“Whoever sits there thinks they’re spirited; you’d feel the same if you smoked some pot.”

If it were that easy to practice immortal cultivation, wouldn’t it make the Yang family’s efforts for over eighty years seem foolish?

After sitting for a while, Tian Zhe realized he didn’t feel anything special except for being a bit more alert, so he got up.

“Brother Shuo, what should I do then? I want to set up arrays like you do, it’s so cool!”

They had ambushed Su Yanyan last night, all relying on Yang Genshuo’s arrays and mechanical techniques.

There wasn’t enough time to set up mechanical traps like in the movies, but creating simple traps only required Yang Genshuo to assemble a few pieces of material together, merge them with “Mechanical Techniques,” and control them with spiritual power.

Actually, they were in the hotel all along yesterday.

A simple illusion array plus a few small mechanisms had achieved the effect Tian Zhe wanted.

To leave Su Yanyan with a deep and painful memory of being drilled and slashed.

“You need to have talent first… stop dreaming for now, focus on something practical.”

“Like what?”

“Martial arts training.”

“I’m already 30, is it too late? Plus, I have family-related obesity; even with regular exercise, I can only maintain a somewhat healthy weight. The doctor said I’m not suitable for vigorous activities.”

Tian Zhe looked at his slightly overweight body and sighed.

He knew all too well that losing weight would make him more attractive and conform to women’s aesthetics, but he couldn’t do it…

“No problem, martial artists have strong vital energy and high metabolism, plus they train not only muscles but also internal organs, which is perfect for you.”

“Sss~ So I can be invulnerable like that day?”

“Yes, you just need to reach the Divinity Realm… ordinary firearms won’t penetrate your body.”

“Let’s get started quickly then!”

“Your foundation is too weak, go boil some Qi Blood Powder and eat spirit food with me for two days first.”

“Qi Blood Powder, that sounds like something martial arts masters use!”

Yang Genshuo looked at the eager Tian Zhe, his face showing a trace of a gratified smile.

“Tian Zhe… this world is not just about love; there are so many other worthwhile pursuits, aren’t there?”

“Sigh…”

Tian Zhe let out a long sigh, a hint of vicissitude flashing in his eyes as he recited softly:

“In life, one hardly notices the many times they’ve misplaced trust, only wishing wholeheartedly to be with her, suddenly awakening to find my efforts futile, here is not where to sever ties of affection, the tide on Qiantang River brings news, only today have I realized that I am me.”

At this moment, Tian Zhe truly saw through the first half of his life.

Yang Genshuo was startled.

“Has the simping program shut down, and your smart IQ regained the high ground?”

“Go to hell! Where’s the medicine? I want to go train martial arts!”

“Tian Zhe, before everything officially begins… I will ask you one last time, are you willing to follow me forever? The path ahead is not as easy as you think. If you want to give up, I can use the bell…”

“For a lifetime.”

Tian Zhe’s face was resolute.

“Good.”

Yang Genshuo smiled.

It was truly wonderful to have someone to walk this path with him.

Now that the Yang Family was facing the imminent danger of the Demon Clan’s descent, Yang Genshuo’s potential had been forced out!

He had envisioned many methods to help the Yang Family resist the Demon Clan, but they all required a significant amount of time. He also needed a completely trustworthy assistant to help him accomplish these tasks.

A smart assistant.

With the current resources of the Yang Family, they could quickly raise a congenital grandmaster.

Even force-fed elixirs could do the trick!

Especially the Third Grade “Divine Cultivation Pill” invented by his senior brother Wu Wukai, coupled with his own Second Grade “Nine-Turned Qi Blood Pill,” was extremely friendly to martial cultivators.

Once Tian Zhe became a congenital grandmaster, if any violent incidents happened… Tian Zhe could handle them for him.

Yang Genshuo wouldn’t allow anyone to stand in his way.

[Your descendants in the Immortal Cultivation World are about to start this year’s ancestral worship ceremony.]

In the blink of an eye, another year had passed in the Immortal Cultivation World.

This time, Yang Genshuo only cared about two sets of items.

[Your descendant Yang Qiang has offered you an ‘Immortal Phoenix Pen’, one ‘Heavenly Mechanism Divine Thunder Talisman’, and one ‘Thunder Punishment Sword Talisman’.]

[Your descendant Yang Fu has offered you a barrel of ‘Thunder Crystal Ink’ and 100 sheets of ‘Wind Spirit Gauze Talisman Paper’.]

“Great!”

Yang Genshuo had spoken to Yang Qiang last year about getting a higher-ranked talisman pen to draw Fourth Grade Talismans, and indeed he had managed to get one.

“Yang Qiang’s two masters really do like him.”

This ‘Immortal Phoenix Pen’ was not just a top-notch talisman pen capable of drawing Fourth Grade Talismans, but it also stored the methods to draw two types of Fourth Grade Thunder Talismans.

They were personally drawn by Yang Qiang’s master, Yu Hengzi, and they were assuredly top-notch.

To this day, Yang Genshuo still couldn’t discern the realms of his two masters; it was still a series of question marks.

They had personally concealed their presence from the Heavens, using an extremely clever method.

But judging from Yang Qiang’s descriptions… Nascent Soul cultivators were as weak as children in front of his two masters.

“At least Great Cultivation in the Divine Separation Stage…”

That’s how Yang Genshuo estimated it.

This realm was probably the ceiling of combat power on the Spirit Miao Continent.

No wonder they could go to various small worlds to save the common people and earn merit.

Just like Confucius traveling among the states, do you think he just brought his book around to lecture to people?

According to reliable records, “he stood nine chi and six cun tall; people all called him ‘the long man’ and found him different,” and “Confucius’ appearance was like Fulong, very imposing!”

A man over two meters tall, a rugged and robust man from the state of Lu!

If you don’t understand the Analects, I also have some understanding of fists and feet.

Only with power can one do good deeds.

That is the rule of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.

“At first glance, it’s not a nurturing sect; it’s very much in line with Taoist principles.”

Yang Genshuo held the ‘Immortal Phoenix Pen’, carefully sensing the recorded brush strokes within it, in total there were two kinds.

‘Heavenly Mechanism Divine Thunder’ and ‘Thunder Punishment Sword’.

One for long range, one for close combat.

The ‘Heavenly Mechanism Divine Thunder’ was simple: the ultimate Thunder Technique that draws in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and possessing the Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s targeting ability, it can lock onto the person you are connected with through Qi Fortune, leaving no escape!

Once the talisman is used, unless you can conceal your presence from Heaven’s Secrets, you will be struck.

This was the Thunder Technique that Yang Genshuo had specially selected from the many in the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, as only such a Thunder Technique would allow the Yang Family to pose a threat to Golden Core Demon Clan members beyond their level.

Otherwise, ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators wouldn’t even stand a chance against Golden Core Stage opponents!

The ‘Thunder Punishment Sword’ talisman, on the other hand, was the complete opposite: a close-combat Thunder Technique.

Upon usage, you transform into a sword, executing demons and evils with the force of heavenly thunder!

This was much more useful for martial cultivators.

Because the greatest weakness martial cultivators have against other cultivators is distance. If they can close in for hand-to-hand combat… martial cultivators can unleash even greater power.

Of course, this talisman could also be used as a movement technique. Should the situation turn dire, just use a talisman and escape as a Thunder Sword.

It served dual purposes, both offensive and for retreat.

“These two kinds of talismans both have much greater destructive power than typical Fourth Grade Talismans. If they could be mass-produced, the Yang Family’s power would leap in quality!”

Thunder Technique represents the ultimate offensive power.

With two Fourth Grade Thunder Talismans in hand, every member of the Yang Family could become a Golden Core cultivator for 5 minutes!

In addition, he also took the two types of materials offered by Yang Fu from the storage ring.

“‘Thunder Crystal Ink’, a Fourth Grade Thunder Element spiritual ink – excellent material for drawing Thunder Techniques.”

“And ‘Wind Spirit Gauze Talisman Paper’, a Wind Element material. When thunder borrows the power of the wind, its speed increases even more, making it the perfect match.”

The combination of thunder and wind represented the ultimate fast attack!

In the split second, the talisman tears, not giving the target time to react; the technique has already flown to their face.

“These two types of materials aren’t cheap, both being made of Fourth Grade Spiritual Material. The material for these 100 talismans cost the Yang Family ten thousand Mid Grade Spirit Stones.”

An average of one hundred Mid Grade Spirit Stones per talisman material shows how precious they are!

But if these Fourth Grade talismans are successfully drawn, they would sell for a thousand Mid Grade Spirit Stones each.

A tenfold profit.

Of course, success rates are involved in talisman drawing. If you only succeed once in ten tries, you won’t make a penny and waste a lot of cultivation time in the process.

So to make a profit from talismans, you need to ensure a high success rate. A talisman pen like this from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect could significantly improve success rates; if it weren’t so rare outside, even a Fourth Grade talisman pen could sell for more than ten thousand Mid Grade Spirit Stones.

This showed just how much Yang Qiang’s masters doted on him.

“I hope these precious materials won’t be wasted…”

Yang Genshuo also had no confidence this time, as these were high rank Fourth Grade talismans. Whether the mechanical printer could produce them, he couldn’t be sure.
