Chapter 120: Passing on the Art Again

However!

Wang Ping'an gazed at the jade tablet hanging from his neck, his eyes lighting up instantly, and said: "This talisman box is indeed a treasure; besides jade, the wood material can also be refined, but it must start with preliminary spirit wood. Coincidentally, I still have plenty of preliminary spirit wood in my storage bag!"

As this talisman box hung around his neck, the spiritual energy swirling around his body gradually seeped into the box, becoming nourishment for the talisman box and the talismans.

It guarantees that the power of the talismans inside the box will not fade with the passage of time!

Keep the talismans inside the box at peak condition at all times!

Wang Ping'an's thought moved, letting his consciousness seep into the talisman box, giving him the feeling that he could unleash the talismans inside at any moment.

Later.

If he were ever captured by others, he need not worry; when the enemy attacks, he will strike back. He can, at any moment—no, more accurately, as soon as a villain appears before him, he can instantly use the talismans to counterattack.

This further enhances his safety!

Of course.

Those who have not cultivated cannot use Spirit Power to control the talisman box, nor can they actively drive the talismans inside; when they come under attack, the talisman box will instantly sense it and instantly resist.

Likewise, there's no need to worry about safety!

It's merely a matter of active versus passive!

"These talismans you keep for self-defense are all top-notch goodies!"

Xuanqing Daozhang casually returned the remaining talismans to Liu Dongzhu.

Liu Dongzhu did not hastily take the many talismans Xuanqing Daozhang offered, but instead instinctively asked, "Daozhang, you don't have any other talisman boxes, do you?"

"What's up, you're not really treating Ping'an's neck as a display rack, are you?"

Xuanqing Daozhang made a joking remark, and as Wang Ping'an's neck once again bore the talisman box, his neck was now almost laden with items, all top-notch goodies, he amended his words:

"The talisman box is a top-notch goodie; its crafting method must be bought at great cost and is not casually passed on. Moreover, it's said to be difficult to craft, and I don't know how to make one—I only have this single one with no spares."

"Is that so!"

Liu Dongzhu dejectedly took the remaining talismans from Xuanqing Daozhang, originally thinking of filling the talisman box with the rest.

All hung on her family's Ping'an's neck to protect her family's Ping'an's life.

Even if her family's Ping'an's neck is overloaded with items and can't hold more, there are still his hands—worst case, we can tie them to his wrists.

Even his calves would work!

"With Ping'an's current level of protection, unless he encounters a major demon, ordinary little demons who dare to strike him—we wouldn't even know who would die!"

Xuanqing Daozhang couldn't help but sigh, "With so many protective measures, unless they are those Dao cultivator disciples, and moreover those who are valued, ordinary Dao cultivator disciples simply can't compare to him."

However.

Upon thinking of Wang Ping'an's situation—his Innate Dao Body—he somehow learned the Blessing Technique, and it seems he may have even learned the《Qi Induction Guide (Spirit Companion Chapter)》.

Although I have never personally seen Wang Ping'an use the《Qi Induction Guide (Spirit Companion Chapter)》, from Hei Mao Bu Tou having already set a half-foot into the spirit beast threshold...

Besides this possibility, I can't think of any other.

Although.

This possibility is quite far-fetched, but this child had already learned the Blessing Technique before, so it's not impossible that he could learn the《Qi Induction Guide (Spirit Companion Chapter)》again.

Upon thinking this, Xuanqing Daozhang's mind flooded with myriad thoughts, and he mused, "Why not teach this kid another martial art?"

Afterward.

One excellent skill after another flashed through his mind.

Not long after.

Xuanqing Daozhang dispelled one excellent skill after another, leaving only one martial art: the《Dragon-Taming Tiger-Subduing Art》!

Whether offensive or defensive techniques, none suit Wang Ping'an; first, he is still young and lacks the ability to discern right from wrong—if he learned them, using them on others could harm who knows how many people.

Offensive techniques have great destructive power.

He certainly doesn't want to do good deeds that turn out bad!

Defensive techniques, on the other hand, won't harm people, but they consume enormous amounts of Spirit Power and also require mana support.

Second, without having cultivated the Qi Refining method, any kind of technique is difficult to execute.

As for the Qi Refining method, it's not that he doesn't want to teach Wang Ping'an; it's just that Wang Ping'an's body hasn't fully grown, his meridians aren't formed yet—if we taught him Qi Refining, we wouldn't know whether it would work.

It might even end up harming him!

The《Dragon-Taming Tiger-Subduing Art》, however, is not a Qi Refining method; it is a superior body-tempering technique, differing from ordinary body-tempering arts in that it can absorb heavenly and earthly spiritual energy to forge the physique.

No arduous training required!

This body-tempering technique is a priceless treasure for martial cultivators.

He hopes Wang Ping'an will follow the Dao cultivator's path, as Dao cultivators have no need to learn martial cultivator skills.

It's not that martial cultivator skills are ordinary; don't look at the early stage of martial cultivation lacking the flashy variety of Dao cultivation—anyone can learn martial cultivator skills, unlike Dao cultivation, which depends on one's bones and talent, enabling feats many martial cultivators cannot achieve.

It's just as the old saying goes: "All roads lead to the same goal."

In the later stages, martial cultivation is by no means inferior to Dao cultivation!

Sword cultivators can be seen as a fusion of martial and Dao cultivation!

Moreover.

For Dao cultivators, having a strong physique brings immeasurable benefits for future development; many Dao cultivators learn a superior body-tempering technique when they first embark on the path of cultivation.

He himself had learned a body-tempering technique when he was young.

Of course.

Not the《Dragon-Taming Tiger-Subduing Art》, just an ordinary body-tempering method; this《Dragon-Taming Tiger-Subduing Art》is a treasure he once obtained from a relic cave dwelling.

Yuan Liang and Yuan Ming cultivated this body-tempering method, with excellent results.

Liu Dongzhu's eyes lit up instantly, excitedly saying, "Daozhang, everything you said is true; if any demon dares to harm our family's Ping'an's life, the treasures hanging on our Ping'an will take their lives!"

"Dongzhu, let me tell you this: if we encounter an Evil Cultivator again, and he dares to act against Ping'an, the pile of life-saving treasures on Ping'an will immediately take his life, guaranteeing Ping'an's safety!"

Xuanqing Daozhang sighed.

While speaking, a hint of lingering fear flashed in the depths of his eyes; the Evil Cultivator who had abducted Wang Ping'an a few days earlier could be said to have been careless, and if it weren't for the Sword Qi inside Wang Ping'an, Wang Ping'an would surely have met more misfortune than good.

He never expected that the Evil Cultivator would use a vengeful ghost to break the Thunderbolt Talisman that Wang Ping'an wore on his person.

Of course.

Even if Wang Ping'an were given more Thunderbolt Talismans, they would be useless.

His Thunderbolt Talismans, when uncontrolled and encountering an attack, will counterattack, but not one after another; instead, they all counterattack simultaneously.

One and two Thunderbolt Talismans are actually not much different; at most, the difference lies in their power.

This is also why he, upon just arriving at the Prefecture Capital, delayed a bit to purchase a talisman box.

Exactly.

The talisman box hanging around Wang Ping'an's neck is the one he just bought not long ago, precisely because he was worried about something like this happening.
