Chapter 234: Talisman Master and Inheritance

The spirit talismans harvested this time were also quite numerous; gathered together, they counted to about one hundred and twenty, both attack and defense.

There was also a talisman brush. Lin Zhangqing specifically felt its spiritual pressure and confirmed it was a top-grade artifact talisman brush, along with some special materials for talisman making; he also found thirty or forty bundles of talisman paper.

Seeing these things, Lin Zhangqing was overjoyed, knowing that among these five people, there should be a talisman master, just not knowing if he could find a second-tier or higher talisman master inheritance here.

Lin Zhangqing was just preparing to open a small shop in the Qingyun City market, and now he had harvested a talisman master; this was truly a very good omen.

In a moment, he must search carefully to see if there was a second-tier or higher talisman master inheritance. If there was, giving it to his mother would definitely make her very happy.

After all, she was a daughter of the Xu family married out; according to clan rules, she could only take away the first-tier talisman master inheritance she had learned. For so many years, the family hadn't managed to get a second-tier inheritance that belonged to her.

Therefore, Lin Zhangqing searched directly for books or jade slips, but unfortunately, the seven or eight books he found were all cultivation-related! And they were the kind that were very widely circulated; Lin Zhangqing's spoils of war already contained quite a few such cultivation methods.

Seeing this result, Lin Zhangqing was also very disappointed, but he also knew that not finding it was normal!

After all, not every scattered cultivator had an ancestor with a prominent background like Zhao Liyu.

Finally, there was only a pile of clothes, various daily necessities, and seven or eight jade boxes left. He first put these useless clothes and sundries into the storage bag specifically for sundries.

Looking at the eight jade boxes remaining, Lin Zhangqing said to Chen Zi Ya, "Junior Sister, let's each take four jade boxes and compare our luck! Let's see who is luckier."

Chen Zi Ya laughed and readily agreed, choosing four jade boxes at random, while Lin Zhangqing took the four that remained.

After opening them directly, he found that they were all spirit medicines, and one of them was the Golden Silk Lotus, the main ingredient for the Foundation Establishment Pill, while the other three were also auxiliary ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Looking at Chen Zi Ya's side, he found that she was playing with a jade slip in her hand, and all four jade boxes had been opened.

Three of the jade boxes also contained spirit medicines, which looked like auxiliary ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill, but Lin Zhangqing didn't care about these now.

He hurriedly asked, "Junior Sister, what is the content inside the jade slip?"

Chen Zi Ya smiled lightly, "I haven't looked yet, but I estimate it's the talisman master inheritance Senior Brother wants, so Senior Brother should look at it yourself!"

After speaking, she handed the jade box and the jade slip together to Lin Zhangqing.

Lin Zhangqing saw that there was also a wasted talisman in the jade box. The reason he called it a wasted talisman was because Lin Zhangqing couldn't feel its spiritual pressure.

But just looking at its material, he knew it must be a second-tier or higher spirit talisman, so he judged it to be a wasted talisman.

He just didn't know what the significance was, to be specifically placed in this jade box. No wonder Chen Zi Ya speculated that this jade slip might be a talisman master inheritance.

Not caring about so much, he took the jade slip directly and pressed it to his forehead to read. Just seeing the first few words, Lin Zhangqing laughed.

The beginning was the four large characters "Jing'an Talisman Classic," and Lin Zhangqing knew he wasn't wrong; it was definitely what he wanted.

And it just happened to be compatible with the "Xu Jing'an Talisman Classic Essays" in his storage bag; this was truly a double joy.

It was most suitable to give to his mother; she would definitely be very happy. He hurriedly found a suitable jade box to put the jade slip and the "Xu Jing'an Talisman Classic Essays" together.

Thinking about it, he also put the wasted talisman inside. Lin Zhangqing was a layman in talisman making; he would leave these things to his mother to handle later! Whether useful or useless, she would know best. Anyway, carrying them didn't take up space.

"Junior Sister, you are truly my lucky star. As soon as you acted, I got what I wanted, so I must give you a reward."

After speaking, he was about to lean over shamelessly. Chen Zi Ya saw his appearance and knew he was going to bully her.

So she couldn't help but laugh, but she didn't let Lin Zhangqing succeed, instead slipping to the door in a flash.

Then she turned around and said to Lin Zhangqing with a giggle, "Senior Brother, thank you for the reward, but this little sister doesn't want it; keep it for yourself! And here, you can tidy up slowly; I'll go back to rest first. Remember to board the ship before the Chen hour tomorrow."

After speaking, she slipped back into her room.

Lin Zhangqing shook his head; she didn't want the reward, so he could only accumulate it until next time and reward her double.

Anyway, Lin Zhangqing kept his word; if he said he would give her a reward, he would definitely give it to her. He put the things on the ground into the corresponding storage bags, and then Lin Zhangqing also returned to his room.

After carefully checking with his divine sense and confirming it was safe, he activated the maze array in the room and entered the inner space.

Soon all the deer came over. Lu Xiaomin was the smallest and had the lowest cultivation, so she came the slowest.

It was the same method: petting and smoothing the fur, feeding Spirit Nurturing Pills. Lin Zhangqing had just bought one hundred bottles of this stuff; there was plenty, and it should last a long time.

He let the deer go play by themselves. Xu Meiniang was preparing for Foundation Establishment in her own room and didn't come out. Now only Zhao Liyu hurried to Lin Zhangqing's side.

He handed the few spirit medicines just harvested to Zhao Liyu. By now, Lin Zhangqing didn't need to give instructions; she naturally knew how to handle them.

He went to the room in the courtyard specifically for spoils of war and found a place to put away the things that were inconvenient to carry on his body.

Thinking about it, he took two hundred-year Vermilion Fruits with him, and then communicated with Lin Zhangliu in his heart, asking it to send Lin Zhangqing to the mine cave where the Earth Armored Beasts were located.

In just a short while, Lin Zhangliu told him he had arrived. With a thought, he exited the inner space, and sure enough, he appeared directly in the mine tunnel.

For more than half a year, this mine tunnel had been dug by the Earth Armored Beast family for more than two miles. Of course, many Yellow Earth Crystal ores had been exchanged by Lin Zhangqing and were now piled up in the inner space.

Following the mine tunnel for more than two miles, he finally saw the figures of the five Earth Armored Beasts. The three little ones saw Lin Zhangqing coming and stopped digging, running directly toward him.

To be honest, these little fellows had been extremely affectionate toward him ever since they were contracted by Lin Zhangqing three months ago.

Lin Zhangqing named them Jin San, Jin Si, and Jin Wu, so they were easy to remember. The bigger ones were Jin San and Jin Si, and they were female, and the smallest was Jin Wu, so he wouldn't misidentify them.

Every time they saw him, they would run to his side to greet him and get intimate, then take the opportunity to enjoy the demon beast meat Lin Zhangqing brought, and of course, the Spirit Nurturing Pills.

Seeing them all come over, Lin Zhangqing simply found a suitable place, took out a large piece of demon beast meat, and began to cut it into strips to make it convenient for them to eat.

After the three little ones had eaten enough, Jin Yi and Jin Er came over. Lin Zhangqing felt that the Earth Armored Beasts might be even more home-loving than the Three-Colored Deer; every time, the three little ones ate first, and finally, the two big ones came over to eat.

Petting these two big fellows, after this period of getting along, they already trusted each other very much, and he quite liked them; they were honest and obedient, executing his orders meticulously.

Now, Lin Zhangqing only came over to exchange ores with them about every ten days or so, besides what they digested themselves.

The remainder was just enough to exchange for two Vermilion Fruits, every time about the same, a volume of one hundred and ten to one hundred and twenty cubic meters.

Lin Zhangqing threw the Vermilion Fruits into Jin Yi and Jin Er's mouths, and then began to collect the ores on the ground into the spirit beast bracelet.

After playing with their family for a while, Lin Zhangqing returned to the inner space.

He came to the place where the Yellow Earth Crystal ores were piled, poured the ores from the spirit beast bracelet here; now it was already a large pile. After calculating, it should be about two thousand two hundred cubic meters.

Don't look at it as quite a lot; if all were converted into first-tier medium-grade Yellow Earth Crystals, it would be about one thousand one hundred portions, fifty spirit stones per portion, which is fifty-five thousand spirit stones.

If shipped in bulk, this price would be a bit lower, estimated at about fifty thousand spirit stones, just enough to buy one Foundation Establishment Pill.

Actually, such input and output are simply not proportional; it is already not worth the loss.

However, Lin Zhangqing still had to continue, hoping that in the future, the Earth Armored Beast family could find him more precious mine veins, so he could break even.

Moreover, the Earth Armored Beasts themselves had other uses, so he still had to continue investing in their cultivation.

He even prepared to give them resources after a while, letting Jin Yi and Jin Er advance to the second tier.

Then, Lin Zhangqing prepared to let Jin Yi and Jin Er be sent into the interior of the Qingyun Mountain Range to find more precious mine resources for him after he successfully established his foundation.
