Chapter 83: Charm Section – Ping'an Talisman!

"I'm here to check on Ping'an!"

Xuanqing Daozhang said calmly.

They didn't actually speak; it was worry that the Sword Qi inside Wang Ping'an might burst out and slay the Evil Cultivator who intended to kill him, which could greatly affect Wang Ping'an's body.

It's not that Zhang Guihua is unfit to know; Zhang Guihua is Wang Ping'an's grandmother, and if even she were unfit to know, then hardly anyone in the world would be qualified.

Rather, it's fear that this matter might frighten Zhang Guihua; she is old, and if she were scared into trouble, it would be far worse than Liu Dongzhu.

They cannot bear this responsibility!

"Ping'an, Ping'an is fine!"

Zhang Guihua smiled and handed Wang Ping'an to Xuanqing Daozhang.

Not long ago.

In the forest, when she saw that the little cotton blanket wrapping her obedient grandson Ping'an was covered in bloodstains, she was half terrified, but after she examined Ping'an thoroughly, inside and out.

Having confirmed there was no problem, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

Xuanqing Daozhang instinctively took the Wang Ping'an handed over by Zhang Guihua, opened their mouth to object, their Sword Qi slayed the Evil Cultivator, and the Evil Cultivator's fatal wound was even more terrifying than the Faction back then.

At that time.

Wang Ping'an suffered a backlash, and it was severe; his foundation was damaged, and if he hadn't arranged for his disciple Yuan Liang to descend each day to recite blessing sutras for Wang Ping'an, not to mention recovery, his growth would have been affected.

Given that not long ago they examined the Evil Cultivator's corpse, Wang Ping'an could not have escaped the backlash.

Only.

They still dared not say this to Zhang Guihua!

"Impossible!"

Xuanqing Daozhang took Wang Ping'an, only gave him a glance, their complexion changed dramatically, and they couldn't help but exclaim.

Not only Zhang Guihua, even Wang Lin, upon seeing Xuanqing Daozhang's appearance, was startled and, panicking, said, "Daozhang, what's wrong? Is it our Ping'an? Does our Ping'an have any problem?"

Zhang Guihua was startled by Xuanqing Daozhang's exclamation, while Wang Lin recalled the words Xuanqing Daozhang had said to him on the way back.

On the way back, he was worried that his beloved grandson Wang Ping'an had suffered a backlash.

Now seeing Xuanqing Daozhang's panicked state, how could he not be frightened?

He knows that Xuanqing Daozhang's regard for his beloved grandson is no less than his own.

Xuanqing Daozhang has no grandson; perhaps he already treats Wang Ping'an as his own.

"No, nothing!"

Xuanqing Daozhang took a deep breath, their face and eyes filled with shock.

On the way here, they were very worried, fearing that this time Wang Ping'an's backlash might be more severe than they anticipated, perhaps even requiring the Prefecture Capital to summon a master for treatment.

All the way, they were trembling with fear!

He never expected…

When they finally saw Wang Ping'an clearly, they found that he showed no sign of having suffered a backlash.

On the contrary, his spirit, qi, and vitality were far more vigorous than the Wang Ping'an they had seen a few days earlier.

It appeared extremely strange!

Questioning whether they were still half‑asleep or perhaps seeing things, Xuanqing Daozhang hurriedly examined Wang Ping'an meticulously.

"Master, my good master, you may not know that I have upgraded the Technique: Sword Cultivation to Mastery level, so a backlash will no longer occur!" Wang Ping'an's watery big eyes looked at his master Xuanqing Daozhang's shocked expression, he chuckled, his little face full of pride.

Seeing this, not only Wang Ping'an, who knew what was happening, but even Zhang Guihua, who was only startled by Xuanqing Daozhang's exclamation, turned extremely worried and wanted to ask.

She only watched Xuanqing Daozhang examine Wang Ping'an and dared not speak, fearing to disturb him.

Zhang Guihua whispered, "Old man, our Ping'an won't be in trouble, will he?"

"Trouble? How could there be trouble? Aren't you cursing our Ping'an?"

Wang Lin huffed in displeasure and said seriously, "Can't you think positively?"

Although he said that, a close look still reveals worry in his eyes; compared with the half‑understood Zhang Guihua, he grasps the situation better and worries more about their Ping'an.

"Yes, yes, yes… I was overthinking. It must be that our Ping'an's health is much better than before, which shocked Xuanqing Daozhang, so he examined our Ping'an carefully!"

Zhang Guihua's whole mind was on Xuanqing Daozhang—no, more precisely, on their Ping'an—so she naturally didn't notice the worry in Wang Lin's eyes.

"Xuanqing Daozhang, this is your newly accepted disciple, right?"

A surprised voice rang out, and shortly a middle‑aged man in Taoist robes walked back from outside the main hall.

This novel you…

Xuanqing Daozhang examined Wang Ping'an meticulously, the shock in their face and eyes deepening, but the voice from outside the main hall jolted them out of their myriad thoughts, and they turned their head to look.

There he saw the newcomer!

"It's Luo Liang, do you have any business with me?"

Xuanqing Daozhang asked.

The newcomer's full name is Luo Liang, an Immortal Official of Qingyang County.

Luo Liang opened his mouth to speak, but after glancing at Zhang Guihua and Wang Lin, the words at his lips were swallowed back.

Xuanqing Daozhang said, "You're not outsiders, say whatever you like!"

Zhang Guihua interjected, "Daozhang, while you entertain this Daozhang here, I'll go to the kitchen to help Dongzhu!"

"Sister Zhang, thank you for the trouble!"

Xuanqing Daozhang handed the Wang Ping'an in their hand to Zhang Guihua, and seeing Wang Lin about to leave, they stopped him, "Brother Wang, this is your home; you can't just leave, and you're not an outsider, so stay here!"

Luo Liang said nothing, but briskly walked up to Zhang Guihua, seemingly to take a look at Wang Ping'an; just as Xuanqing Daozhang tried to stop him, Luo Liang pulled a pendant from his bosom and handed it to Zhang Guihua.

Seeing Zhang Guihua's bewildered expression.

Luo Liang explained, "Madam, this is a Ping'an Talisman, it can keep one safe, I came in haste and brought nothing good, please don't reject it!"

"Sister Zhang, this Ping'an Talisman is Brother Luo's specialty; many have sought it in vain, so you may keep it!"

Xuanqing Daozhang spoke first.

Zhang Guihua didn't say much, took the Peace Talisman that Luo Liang handed over, which had a red string, and directly hung it on Wang Ping'an's neck.

Ding! You have obtained a Talisman 'Peace Talisman', congratulations you have received reward: Peace Talisman 【Entry Level】!

Ding! Talisman slot meets the activation condition (2/2), Talisman slot opening!

Ding! Skill: Thunder Strike Talisman 【Proficient】 changed to Talisman: Thunder Strike Talisman 【Proficient】!

Three successive mechanical, cold voices rang in his mind, Wang Ping'an's peripheral vision fell on the pendant around his neck, the happiness on his face was unmistakable.
