Chapter 96: Blood Talisman Spirit Body

Inside the temple's rear hall, which had grown quiet.

After a long while, accompanied by a cold wind blowing in from the open doorway, the mages crouching on the ground shivered.

Only then did a younger mage muster the courage to ask the old mage who had contributed the most money:

"Master Tapu... did you see it?"

"I saw it. He vanished right before our eyes!"

"This couldn't possibly be some trick; after all, we have personally walked through and inspected every inch of this temple."

"I have kissed every floorboard in this rear hall."

The old mage known as Master Tapu wore a grave expression, his eyes, which seemed to glow in the dark night, fixed on the spot where Huang Zong had disappeared as he said solemnly:

"This is the manifestation of true, mysterious power before our very eyes."

"These Easterners possess genuine, mysterious inheritances!"

"I was only half-believing before, but now... I will not hesitate any longer."

"I will immediately notify my children and my disciples, and have them bring all our family wealth to come and help me."

After Master Tapu finished speaking slowly, he was the first to stand up and walk out of the rear hall.

The remaining mages hesitated for a moment, then also made up their minds to increase their investment in this Dharma Assembly.

Since Huang Zong, who had always acted like a riddle-maker and deliberately whetted their appetites with mystery, had allowed them to see evidence of the true existence of the mysterious tonight.

Then they naturally had to return the favor.

As for reporting this matter, that was absolutely impossible.

At most, they would inform their trusted confidants, telling them to follow their lead in handling this Dharma Assembly well to curry favor with the Eastern Mysterious Force.

So as to facilitate obtaining a glimmer of opportunity in the future.

Although, in doing so, the news would inevitably leak out.

After all, once there are many people, no news can be kept secret.

But this kind of word-of-mouth leakage of mysterious events is just like the tabloid news found on every street corner reporting on aliens or subterranean dwellers.

After being passed around a few times, the person telling it does it for fun, and the person listening does it for the same reason.

No one takes it seriously or cares how much of it is true or false.

Inside the Pot Heaven.

Huang Zong and the other five responded to the summons and returned to the Burial Ground, feeling as familiar as if they had returned home.

They arrived at the mountaintop and discovered that a tile-roofed house had appeared on the summit of the Burial Ground, and the stone stools and stone table had also returned.

In the corner of the wall, they even saw a trash can of an unknown brand.

They did not feel surprised by this, assuming it was something Shu Daoren had obtained from other Registered Disciples.

Ever since that night, Huang Zong and his group had believed that Shu Daoren had other intelligence channels and other Registered Disciples.

After Su Ping learned of this, he did not bother to point out the error.

Following Shu Daoren's style, he praised Huang Zong and the others a few times before taking out the Bloodline Slate as usual.

Snap!

One by one, the blood samples were absorbed into the Bloodline Slate, and then Dharma Power was input to perform the test.

Hum!

Just when everyone thought there would be nothing unusual, the Bloodline Slate suddenly underwent a change!

Immortal script emerged in complex characters that Huang Zong and the others could not understand:

Blood Talisman Spirit Body!

Su Ping immediately looked over, while simultaneously sweeping his Divine Sense across the codes provided by Huang Zong and the others.

After the relevant blood samples underwent multiple tests, the code for the owner of the drop of blood that triggered the reaction on the Bloodline Slate was found.

"Shanawati?"

Huang Zong and the other five, who were excitedly waiting for Shu Daoren's test results, heard a somewhat unfamiliar word.

After a slight pause, Huang Zong, who had been dealing with those Gade mages for the past few weeks, reacted and quickly bowed with a smile:

"I know, this is the name of the Goddess of Wisdom of Nierbo; the girls there all like to take names like this."

Huang Zong stopped for only a moment before continuing:

"Among the blood samples provided this time, there is only one named Shanawati; she is the granddaughter of Master Tapu, the mage presiding over the temple's Dharma Assembly."

Su Ping's Divine Sense had already scanned the notebook provided by Huang Zong and the others, and he knew that what the other party said was correct.

After nodding slightly, he shook his head and said:

"This girl has talent, but unfortunately, she does not fit the inheritance of my Burial Ground."

"However, finding someone with a bit of talent is already quite good; you all have merit this time!"

"But one must not be lazy regarding the inheritance; the inheritance of the Burial Ground cannot be broken in my hands!"

"Ahem, ahem!"

Su Ping set the tone for what was to come and began to bestow rewards.

In addition to a new Martial Dao Qi and Blood Refining Technique, Su Ping was in a good mood and, according to the different physical characteristics of Huang Zong and the other five, taught them different martial arts fighting styles.

With the help of his Divine Sense, Su Ping was practically transformed into a Grandmaster with decades of experience, easily able to choose the martial arts fighting styles best suited for them to learn and practice.

Huang Zong learned a set of Savage Bear Fist Technique, and that tycoon learned a set of Fierce Wind Leg Technique.

The others also had their own unique skills and were quite excited, acting like children who had regained their youth or chuunibyou teenagers, wishing they could practice right there on the mountaintop immediately.

Finding Shanawati this time was primarily Huang Zong's credit.

Therefore, in addition to the regular weekly Body Tempering Medicine Pack.

Su Ping gave an extra Body Strengthening Pill.

This is the beggar version of the Blood Qi Pill that little Daoist Zhou Xuan refined the day before yesterday.

Both the main ingredients and auxiliary ingredients used mostly substitutes.

As a result, after the Pill was refined, its efficacy didn't even compare to one-tenth of a standard Blood Qi Pill.

It can only be used for trading or as a reward.

Huang Zong performed a great service, so he can be considered qualified to be the lucky one to test the Pill for the first time.

That's right, testing a Pill for Su Ping is definitely something that can be called lucky for Huang Zong and the others from Water Blue Star!

After all, this is a real transcendent Pill!

At worst, it simply has no effect, and the side effects will be purified.

At best, one could rely on this single Pill to step half a foot into the transcendent threshold, although it wouldn't be as exaggerated as being able to take on ten people at once.

While suppressing various aches and pains, there is still a chance to experience a feeling of abundant physical strength, as if regaining one's youth.

The other few people looked at Huang Zong with envy.

They secretly sighed that his luck was truly excellent, to be the first to find someone with talent.

Su Ping kept these six people at the Burial Ground to cultivate until dawn as usual before sending them away.

This time when they returned, besides the medicine packets, they also brought the gold and various jewelry that Su Ping gave them in the name of Shu Daoren.

These were all taken by Su Ping from the inventory of Linyue Villa.

He had already checked them with his Divine Sense, and they were no different from the same items on Water Blue Star.

He took them out and gave them to Huang Zong and the six others not for their private use, but so they could help exchange them for money, and this sum would be used exclusively for handling his affairs.

As Su Ping's stall in Nierbo gradually expands, there are more and more places where money needs to be spent.

Although Huang Zong and the others' current net worth is still sufficient.

This is not a long-term solution.

There is no industry that truly makes money.

With the wealth of these small local tycoons like Huang Zong, even if they rely on feigning mystery to avoid most extortion and blackmail.

It still won't last long.

Collecting various potential heavenly treasures, large quantities of rare medicinal herbs, and recruiting people to do things.

Even the arms trade that has already been set up.

Every single item is a bottomless pit of wealth.

Su Ping also doesn't want his Registered Disciple to go off and borrow money or take out loans to become a deadbeat debtor.

And then have the truth dug up, discovering that they believed the words of an evil cultivator and went into so much debt for the sake of cultivation...

So it is best to calculate the total account; if they are willing to make offerings, they can take out the liquid funds they can afford and put them into the general account to be spent.

Instead of stubbornly holding on until a problem arises.

Huang Zong and the six others are all businessmen, so they naturally understood Shu Daoren's thinking, and while grateful, they also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The rear hall of the temple for the Dharma Assembly in Gade City.

At dawn, when the sunlight had just shone on the top of the pagoda.

Huang Zong returned to the threshold of the rear hall, and after squinting his eyes to get used to the light.

Huang Zong looked left and right and did not find anyone else remaining there.

Clearly, the Dharma masters who were startled by him last night could not foresee that Huang Zong would return.

As for surveillance... this temple only has a few cameras in the Main Hall and the front courtyard.

The control room is still controlled by their own people.

These Dharma masters do not have the authorization to watch them.

Huang Zong did not leave, but instead went directly to the guest room where that Dharma master Tapu lived.

He knocked on the door lightly.

After the door opened, Dharma master Tapu looked at Huang Zong with some surprise, and just as he was about to greet him, he discovered that the other party was bowing to him first.

Immediately, Dharma master Tapu, who was also a cunning old fox, felt his heart skip a beat and realized something.

And then, after a friendly exchange between the two sides.

Huang Zong received a promise and left satisfied shortly after.

Dharma master Tapu was overjoyed and temporarily handed over the heavy responsibility of hosting the Dharma Assembly to the two deputy abbots.

He himself took his trusted aides and immediately drove toward his own village.

Or one could also call it his own manor.

As a veteran Dharma master.

Dharma master Tapu is also the largest local landlord.

The entire village belongs to him.

Everyone is his domestic servant or born into his household.

That granddaughter, Shanawati, who was detected to have talent, is being well cared for by the servants there.

Dharma master Tapu had originally planned to cultivate Shanawati well and then arrange a marriage with the heir of another village.

Now, naturally, there is no need for that plan.

Even... Dharma master Tapu felt that he should take advantage of the fact that he still has authority to help Shanawati pave the way and let her become the new clan leader.

As for his own position as a Dharma master, he was clear-headed and knew that this was not worthy of a granddaughter who could have a transcendent inheritance.

That day, with the return of Dharma master Tapu.

The entire village was in an uproar.

Everyone knew that Shanawati was a person chosen by the Ghost God, and in the future, she would receive the Ghost God's grace and become a greater Dharma master than Master Tapu!

As for Shanawati herself.

Having been educated and raised by the family children all along, she did not possess any rebellious psychology.

Furthermore, having had some contact with the internet and seen the world, although she did not quite believe in the beautiful future depicted by her grandfather.

She still firmly believed that Master Tapu would not harm her.

And so, after some preparations.

When evening arrived, as if holding a grand wedding procession, Master Tapu sent his granddaughter Shanawati to the temple.

This made the other masters, who realized it only after the fact, all feel envious, jealous, and hateful, and they wondered why their own descendants could not produce such a granddaughter.

As for the other parties who had not yet seen the mysterious power of the Easterners with their own eyes.

There was no lack of people frowning and feeling that those charlatans had finally shown their true colors.

They couldn't hold back and started playing the "goddess" trick?

But was that Master Tapu crazy?

Paying money to help out was one thing, but now he had even sent his own granddaughter over!

He really was a senile old fool... it was just a pity for that granddaughter named Shanawati.

I heard she is a rare beauty!

In the Pot Heaven, before waiting for the newcomer to arrive, Su Ping was setting up a new Array in the Burial Ground.

And after making preparations, having nothing better to do, he chose to draw cards to pass the time.
