Chapter 346: Chapter 345 – Even the Eldest Senior Sister is no match for me! _1
“Well, you can’t put it that way, I’m just capitalizing on the legal provisions,” Eighth Elder declared confidently.
“Besides, I never anticipated that they would rather expose themselves as independent cultivators from the Demon Path than report me to the government office!”
Lu Yang was curious about how Eighth Elder had deceived them, making them disregard their Demon Path identity to report to the government.
Normally, cultivators from the Demon Path fear government offices the most.
Sixth Elder didn’t dwell on this issue, “That’s enough, I didn’t come to discuss who you swindled. I have a task related to talismans and I need your help.”
Tao Yaoye looked innocently at Lu Yang, who understood what she meant with her gaze:
See? Can’t blame me for viewing Eighth Elder as a fraudster, he admits to being a deceiver the moment we meet.
“Should’ve said so earlier! I’m an expert in talismans!” Eighth Elder laughed heartily, attesting to his accomplishments in talismans.
“Whether it’s offensive or defensive talismans, however many you need, just say the word! All I need to do is make them!”
“Creating talismans of Pass Tribulation level and Semi-Immortal level might be challenging, but I can handle Unification level talismans.”
Sixth Elder shook his head, “No need for such high-level talismans. My disciple has an idea for which we need your talisman expertise.”
Eighth Elder looked at Tao Yaoye with interest, “Let’s hear it?”
Tao Yaoye went on to recount her conversation with Lu Yang.
Eighth Elder listened with sparkling eyes, appreciating Tao Yaoye more and more, “What a novel idea! How about becoming my disciple?”
“You didn’t seem to dwell on your Feather Transformation Immortal Body research, I suppose you don’t want to develop it. Might as well stop affiliating with your Senior Sister, your illusion technique is perfect for swindling folks with me.”
Such individuals with active minds were suited for training under him.
He knew Lu Yang had an agile mind too, but he didn’t have the nerve to snatch him from Yun Zhi.
Tao Yaoye almost jumped in fright, she quickly swore to herself that she will delve into Feather Transformation Immortal Body research as soon as she got back, just to avoid the day her Master decides she should train under Eighth Elder.
“That’s enough, Sixth Junior Brother. Stop scaring her. Let’s talk about talismans. Can you make it?”
Eighth Elder stroked his chin and chuckled, “Senior Sister, it seems you underestimate me! Making such a talisman isn’t difficult at all, I could do it easily.”
Lu Yang added two more requirements, “It needs to be mass-produced, and it should be inexpensive.”
“It should not harm ordinary people.”
Superior illusion techniques can confuse ordinary people so much that they struggle to distinguish between illusion and reality even after escaping the illusion.
Eighth Elder looked troubled, “The no-harm rule is simple, mass production though might be tricky.”
“I wonder if you understand talismans, they’ve never been successfully mass-produced. Even the most basic Great Strength Talisman is like this.”
“I, along with a few friends who also study talismans, investigated this issue. Our initial idea was to print talismans using engraving methods, like silver banknotes. This way, talisman prices would drop significantly.”
Those who could discuss talismans with Eighth Elder undoubtedly had an unparalleled understanding of it.
“Later, we discovered that this method wasn’t feasible. When drawing a talisman, each stroke must be filled with the essence of one’s spiritual energy. This hurdle alone deters most cultivators who want to become talisman experts. Furthermore, to print talismans using engraving methods requires us to infuse our spiritual essence into the engraving gaps.”
“Not to say that no talisman experts can achieve it, but the few that can are far from enough for large-scale production.”
“We tried using puppetry to create talismans, but puppets lack the spiritual energy necessary for talisman creation.”
“In short, all our attempts were unsuccessful, so the idea was shelved.”
“Martial Niece Tao’s illusion lasts between half an hour to an hour. This is considered a large-scale illusion which advanced talismans can create but they can’t be mass-produced.”
Lu Yang fell into deep thought. He didn’t know much about talismans before, so he wasn’t expecting these difficulties. Suddenly he came up with a solution, “From what I recall, array methods can also induce illusions, right? What if we combine talismans with array methods?”
Eighth Elder nodded in surprise. After calculating, he found that this approach seemed feasible.
“Good idea! By simplifying both the talisman and the array method to Qi Refinement level and then combining them, it can be achieved!”
“After simplification, even Qi Refinement Cultivators could produce Array Method!”
“I’m not proficient in Array Method, so I need to consult with the Second Brother. You guys go back and wait, we’ll let you know when we have our conclusion!” The Eighth Elder decided to do so and sped towards the medicinal field.
Just then, Lu Yang heard Eldest Senior Sister’s transmission.
“Come back, the method has been transcribed.”
Overjoyed, Lu Yang noted Eldest Senior Sister’s efficiency in transcription remained consistent. It has been less than half a day, and it’s done.
Lu Yang cautiously approached the foot of Sky Gate Mountain, confirming that the puppet wasn’t blocking his way before he relievedly ascended the mountain.
All the way up, Lu Yang was wary of a puppet ambush, however, luckily, the journey was smooth, and the puppet didn’t cause him any trouble.
Reaching the summit of Sky Gate Mountain, Eldest Senior Sister was quietly sitting at the stone table sipping tea. The puppet obediently poured tea for her, its demeanor was unlike how it treated Lu Yang.
On the stone table, lay a brand-new method book titled ‘Mind Seeing Method’ – Golden Core Chapter.
“Try practicing it. I’ve adjusted some parts based on the method you wrote.”
Lu Yang was ecstatic, indeed, Eldest Senior Sister deserved her reputation, she was much more reliable than Fairy Eternity. Fairy Eternity constantly urged him to Play Dead Technique, unlike Eldest Senior Sister, who wrote methods for him.
The character of the handwriting reflected the writer, Eldest Senior Sister’s handwriting was like her – neat, beautiful, and cold.
Since it was written based on Lu Yang’s ideas, he quickly picked it up. After carefully reading it twice, he committed it to memory and initiated circulation.
Lu Yang concentrated on a stream of spiritual energy according to the theory in the method and under his control, let this spiritual energy circulate in his body in a regular manner.
He quickly completed a circulation, which indicates that Lu Yang has mastered the basics of the method.
With pride, Lu Yang remarked, “I’m indeed a rare genius in history. I’m the strongest entity!”
Lu Yang felt that cultivation came naturally to him, no one could match his talents.
His gaze fell on Eldest Senior Sister, who was carefully savoring her tea.
Even Eldest Senior Sister is no match for him!
“Wait, this is wrong!” Lu Yang suddenly reacted, no matter how dull he was, he realized there was a problem.
How reckless was he to arrive at the ludicrous conclusion that “Eldest Senior Sister is no match for me?”
“It’s the Invincible Elixir, it gave me invincible confidence, but I’ve always been able to suppress it logically. The Mind Seeing Method amplifies my confidence from Invincible Elixir, making me feel invincible!”
Lu Yang’s body moved uncontrollably towards Eldest Senior Sister despite Invincible Elixir’s relentless warnings against this move.
“Please commit suicide immediately to maintain a 100% win rate.”
“Please commit suicide immediately to maintain a 100% win rate.”
Invincible Elixir incessantly requested Lu Yang to maintain a 100% win rate.
Eldest Senior Sister raised her eyelids, realizing that she forgot this feature of the Invincible Elixir while writing the method.
Fortunately, Lu Yang was no stranger to challenges and reacted quickly in crisis.
“Spill Beans into Soldiers!”
Lu Yang handed over the control of his body to Fairy Eternity, who was observing from the sidelines.
“Eh? Eh??”
Fairy Eternity was taken aback, she was merely an observer and unexpectedly got caught up in the situation.
She controlled Lu Yang’s uncontrolled body, attacked Eldest Senior Sister, and was flicked off by Eldest Senior Sister’s finger.
Lu Yang successfully maintained his undefeated record.
