Walking out of the General Temple, Bai Ziyue felt noticeably lighter, unable to suppress a sly smile.
This ti, his harvest was indeed significant.
Apart from discovering the deeper reasons behind the conflict between the Sunburst Gang and the Nine Seals Sect, the matter concerning the Immortal Technique Gathering also filled him with unexpected joy.
Of course, what excited him the most was finally hearing news about the follow-up cultivation thod of the Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique.
Even though he knew very well that actually obtaining the second volu of the Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique wouldn’t be that simple, and that Li Xun wouldn’t easily give it to him, at least it represented a form of hope.
"Going directly to seek it might not be appropriate.
Not to ntion that stepping into a prestigious governnt mansion isn’t easy, the issue of whether the other party could even trust is a big problem.
Therefore, it’s best to wait until the Immortal Technique Gathering to plan again, as it’s a more secure option.
After all, I’ve waited this long; I don’t mind waiting another ten days or half a month."
Bai Ziyue thought to himself, his mood stabilizing significantly.
During the wait for the Immortal Technique Gathering, he didn’t plan to idle either.
He also needed to prepare so items that other Immortal Cultivators might find intriguing.
For him, talismans would be a quite suitable choice.
Of course, what he planned to prepare this ti wouldn’t be the relatively low-level talismans found in the Hundred Talisman Atlas.
Instead, it would be a kind of Dharma Transformation Talisman.
...
In comparison to Qinghe Town, Wujiang County was far more prosperous.
The reserves of various goods were naturally much more comprehensive.
Even though so things were hard to find, after several hours of running around, Bai Ziyue managed to gather the items necessary for talisman-making.
For this, he spent nearly three hundred taels of silver, which was quite a bleeding expense.
Just as he was about to head back with his things, he heard a call from the nearby Qingyun Tea House, "Junior brother, co over for so tea."
Turning his head, Bai Ziyue saw his senior brother, along with two fellow sect disciples, Xu Jin and Zhang Fang, who he knew well. They had been searching for the assassin with him yesterday.
Without hesitation, he responded, "Coming."
Soon, he was seated in the tea house.
A server naturally brought over a teacup, pouring the tea, and also served a platter of five-flavored pastries.
"Junior brother, what’s with this large bag you have?"
Tang Zhanfei curiously glanced at the dark-colored cloth bag beside Bai Ziyue, from which an odd sll seed to waft.
Fortunately, it was tightly sealed by Bai Ziyue, so the odor wasn’t too strong, though sowhat pungent.
"Just so trinkets, of so use."
Bai Ziyue found it hard to explain, waving it off, then raised an eyebrow and asked, "Weren’t you assigned to search for that assassin? How do you have the leisure to drink tea here?"
As for himself, he explained he was temporarily engaged yesterday, which was why he got involved in the search.
This morning, with a word about his official duties, he managed to extract himself from the situation.
This gave him the ti to visit the General Temple and et his elder scholar’s senior brother, Xie Gucang.
"Just taking a breather. We’ve been busy since morning and haven’t even had a sip of water until now, and it was then we saw you, Brother Bai, here,"
Xu Jin said with a helpless smile.
"Is there any lead on the assassin?"
Bai Ziyue imdiately asked.
"Like searching for a needle in a haystack, no traces at all, how could there be any lead?
A third-class expert hiding isn’t soone ordinary folks can discover."
Zhang Fang shook his head, then spoke gravely, "However, this ti, the matter has really escalated.
You probably don’t know yet, but this morning, another genius disciple from within the gang was found dead at ho, cut into two, in the sa way as yesterday’s assassin.
Most likely the sa person did it.
So, the gang plans to expand the search; the entire Wujiang County will likely be combed through."
"Another death? Who?"
Bai Ziyue’s heart tightened.
"One of the Seven Lords of Wujiang County, Zhu Mingxuan, one of the three outstanding youths of the Sunburst Gang,"
Xu Jin continued.
Hearing this, Bai Ziyue frowned deeply.
The Seven Lords of Wujiang County referred to the seven martial artists under twenty-five who had broken into the Inner Power Realm.
Such figures were rare even within the Sunburst Gang, and there were only three, thus earning them the title of the Sunburst Gang’s three outstanding youths.
The three were Jiang Hee, Zhu Mingxuan, and another nad Xia Yunqiang.
However, now, two of the trio had perished, which was truly shocking.
"It’s apparent that our Sunburst Gang is being targeted.
Even the Inner Power Realm Martial Artists within the gang are now anxious and fearful; these are indeed troubled tis."
Sighing, Zhang Fang’s face showed a trace of heaviness.
"The gang already issued a task, those who find clues about that assassin would be rewarded with five hundred contribution points, confirming the identity of the assassin grants a reward of two thousand contribution points,
and if you can kill them, that’s five thousand contribution points.
Furthermore, this reward is not limited to within the gang, there is also a bounty outside, which will soon be posted publicly.
This is a rare generous move from the gang over the years, it seems the higher-ups are a bit anxious."
Tang Zhanfei also spoke up.
"Is it possible that the people from the Nine Seals Sect did it?"
Suddenly, Xu Jin lowered his voice and asked.
"Almost certainly."
Zhang Fang snorted and said.
Bai Ziyue did not respond, but in his heart, he suddenly thought about what he had learned from Xie Gucang, concerning the conflict between the Di Family and the Lin Family, both Immortal Cultivation Clans.
*Perhaps, this ti, in the assault on the Sunburst Gang’s three prominent figures, there was also the influence of the Di Family?*
"Regardless, we all have to be cautious during this period, especially when encountering people from the Nine Seals Sect, we must be extra careful, even if it’s in the city, if necessary, we can take action directly.
This statent was spoken personally by Squad Leader Qin."
Tang Zhanfei, rarely seen with such a serious expression, said.
"Certainly!"
"I’ve been itching to take action against them for a long ti."
Zhang Fang and Xu Jin nodded repeatedly, looking very much in agreent and also quite expectant.
Bai Ziyue’s heart also tightened.
*It seems that the conflict between the Sunburst Gang and the Nine Seals Sect has intensified.*
*This battle, I estimate, won’t be long before it arrives.*
"Oh right, junior brother, I haven’t congratulated you yet on gaining a Jianghu title."
Soon after, Tang Zhanfei suddenly raised his eyebrows at Bai Ziyue, in a congratulatory manner.
"Jianghu title?"
Bai Ziyue was slightly taken aback, and then quickly thought of yesterday’s Youth Martial Gathering.
"Overlord Saber Hand Bai Ziyue, this title is much more resounding than Senior Brother’s Three-Stroke Sword."
Tang Zhanfei said with a helpless expression.
"This title certainly suits Brother Bai, not only is the sword technique of an Overlord Saber exceptional, but also the exquisite Celestial Entwining Hand, both can indeed be called an Overlord Saber Hand."
Next to him, Zhang Fang also joined in the praise.
"Indeed, it seems I must work harder myself. Even Brother Bai, whose strength hasn’t reached Inner Cultivation, already has a Jianghu title, I’ve been in Inner Cultivation for over a year and am still an unknown, it’s truly a bit shaful."
Xu Jin spoke, taking a mouthful of tea, and said loudly, "Treat us, Brother Bai must treat us."
"No problem with that."
Bai Ziyue chuckled softly, whispering to himself, "Overlord Saber Hand, is it?"
*Deep down, he didn’t care much.*
*He rembered that in Qinghe Town, he also had a Jianghu title, Broken Blade Guest, but outside of Qinghe Town, who rembered it?*
*This so-called Overlord Saber Hand, it’s only heard of in Wujiang County, outside of Wujiang County, who knows?*
*Even the so-called Seventh Young Master is the sa.*
*Only the White-clothed Swordsman, with his genius reputation, had so spread in Celestial Spirit County.*
...
Back ho, Bai Ziyue couldn’t wait to open the bag in his hands, taking out the items inside one by one.
"A whole piece of Cyan Wolf Beast skin mbrane, and a small jar of Cyan Wolf Beast Essence Blood, along with dozens of auxiliary materials."
Bai Ziyue’s gaze swept over these materials one by one, with a rare sense of tension in his heart.
This ti he intended to make talismans, but not the low-level talismans he had made in the past.
Instead, it was the Dharma Transformation Talisman!
In the Hundred Talisman Atlas, due to it being only the first volu, it only recorded over thirty kinds of talismans, most of which were low-level talismans with limited effects. Furthermore, even the originally potent Light Body Talisman, Vajra Talisman, Soul-Suppressing Talisman... were no longer of much use to Bai Ziyue.
But this doesn’t an the Hundred Talisman Atlas was useless.
Aside from the talismans, what intrigued him were the various thods of drawing and refining talismans ntioned in the Hundred Talisman Atlas.
Particularly, the Talisman-Making Technique nad Dharma Transformation ntioned within, sparked his inspiration greatly, and he was eager to transform his cultivated magic into talismans using this thod, and then throw them out all at once...
*The thought of such a scene was imnsely thrilling.*
After all, the magic Bai Ziyue now mastered wasn’t weak.
Even without ntioning non-combat magic like the Light Body Technique and spiritual eye technique, the Thousand Mountains Wind Blade Skill and Thunderfall Skill were both powerful and formidable spells.
If thrown out on a large scale, I estimate even Second-class Experts would be blasted to pieces, and even First-class Experts would have to retreat...
But unfortunately, although the Hundred Talisman Atlas ntioned this Talisman-Making Technique, it didn’t provide specific implentation thods, so previously, he could only daydream.
It wasn’t until he slew Daoist Wutong and found the "Spirit Beast Secret Record", "Spiritual Materials Treasure Guide", "Zhou Chong’s Small Explanation of Prohibition", and other books related to Immortal Cultivation, that for the first ti, he felt he might achieve the goal of transforming magic into talismans.
Imdiately afterward, within the Jade Scroll Eye that recorded the enhancent thod of refining the Soul-Gathering Banner, he saw explanations of so ans of inscribing prohibitions, where it ntioned, "All arts of the Immortal Family are interconnected," and suddenly his inspiration surged...
