Chapter 20

Lin Fengjiao: "Same here—I never thought I'd be poor!"

Zhang Taixuan: "Don't rush; you'll have money someday."

After offering comfort, Zhang Taixuan purchased the basic talismans and artifact-making methods uploaded by Jiushu.

Just ten points—child's play for him.

【You comprehended thirty-six basic rune paths; a flash of insight led you to combine talismans according to dao-pattern arrangements, thus creating the Talisman Ban Method. Your understanding of dao-patterns has increased.】

【You comprehended the method of crafting ordinary artifacts; combining it with the Dao Classic's artifact-forging techniques, you innovated and uncovered a new method of artifact crafting.】

In a moment.

Jiushu's uploaded talismans and artifact-making methods were fully comprehended by Zhang Taixuan, who gained new insights.

He took out the ore and jade stones gifted by Qin Shi Huang and threw them into the Qiankun Cauldron.

In moments, the ores were transformed by magic power into liquid, then refined into various shapes.

Beads, bracelets, swords, robes.

Immediately afterward, a rune ban was infused into them, solidifying the liquid completely.

Water-Repelling Pearl: Contains a Water-Repelling Talisman Ban; when submerged, it creates a three-meter-diameter spherical shield, stores oxygen, and decomposes seawater into oxygen—usable for ten days; energy replenishes automatically when depleted. (Only effective within depths of three thousand meters.)

Fire-Repelling Pearl: Resistant to ordinary flames; temperatures under two thousand degrees cannot harm it.

Dust-Repelling Pearl: When placed indoors, keeps the room free of dust.

Calming Bracelet: Contains a Calming Talisman Ban; quiets the mind and focuses the spirit, highly effective for low-level cultivators.

Exorcising Sword: Contains three bans formed from talismans of Spirit Suppression, Corpse Suppression, and Demon Suppression; highly effective against ghosts, zombies, demons, and evil entities.

Taiji Dao Robe: A dao robe imbued with bans of Dust-Repelling, Fire-Repelling, Water-Repelling, Calming, and Thick Earth talismans; a treasure for defense, exorcism, and cultivation.

These materials were merely mundane objects from the Great Qin world, capable of bearing only one ban—thus their rank is low.

【Ding, you sold ten Taiji Dao Robes and gained 1000 points.】

【Ding, you sold one hundred Water-Repelling Pearls and gained 1000 points.】

【Ding, you sold one hundred Fire-Repelling Pearls and gained 1000 points.】

【Ding, you sold ten Exorcising Swords and gained 600 points.】

In the chat group, a notification chimed, and the group fell silent.

A moment passed.

Yotsuya Miko: "Wow, so many great items—I really want to buy them."

Lin Fengjiao: "Can't afford it, can't afford it!"

Qin Shi Huang: "Can't afford it either—I'm the poorest Emperor."

Huang Rong: "I can't afford them either."

Yotsuya Miko: "Has Sister Rong gone to Shaolin yet?"

Huang Rong: "Not so fast—ancient transportation is terrible; it takes a long time to get from Taohuadao to Shaolin!"

Zhang Taixuan: "No rush; these things won't run away."

【Ding, chat group activity has increased; beginning to recruit new members.】

【Ding, Zhiji Ruwo has joined the chat group.】

【Ding, Huashan Gentleman Sword has joined the chat group!】

【Zhiji Ruwo changed name to Omniscient and Omnipotent Immortal.】

Huashan Gentleman Sword: "What is this?"

Omniscient and Omnipotent Immortal: "Are you Yue Buqun of Huashan?"

Huashan Gentleman Sword: "Do you know me?"

Omniscient and Omnipotent Immortal: "I have long transcended time and causality; bored, I joined this group. Your mundane affairs are known to me in full detail."

Huang Rong: "Really? I don't believe it!"

Yotsuya Miko: "Really? I don't believe it!"

Qin Shi Huang: "Really? I don't believe it!"

Lin Fengjiao: "Really? I don't believe it!"

Omniscient and Omnipotent Immortal: "Yotsuya Miko, you've already opened your Yin-Yang Eyes, haven't you?"

Omniscient and Omnipotent Immortal: "Huang Rong, haven't you left Taohuadao yet? You'll meet your destined one soon!"

Omniscient and Omnipotent Immortal: "Lin Fengjiao, known as Jiushu—did Master Huang serve you foreign tea?"

Yotsuya Miko: "And then?"

Omniscient and Omnipotent Immortal: "Aren't you afraid?"

Yotsuya Miko: "Afraid? Why should I be afraid?"

Huang Rong: "Exactly! So many evil spirits—I'm envious."
