Chapter 87: Learning the Invisibility Talisman

When they first entered Yanjiang County, Man Gu had suggested informing the local government about the Yanjiang Branch to find Qin Yuanhao together, but it was rejected by Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou on the grounds that the government was untrustworthy.

Now it seemed that their worries were not unreasonable.

The Yanjiang Branch had planted an undercover agent in the government office, and their status was not low!

Helmsman Chu said slowly: "Lu Yang, among the upper echelons of the Yanjiang Branch, you are the one I value most. After the Spring Picking Festival, someone from above will come to inspect the Yanjiang Branch. This inspection is different from the past. This time, with you, Meng Jingzhou, and Man Gu, three Demonic Path seeds, the evaluation from above will be much higher for me."

"I have a great chance of promotion. In this way, the position of Helmsman will be vacant."

"According to practice, the new Helmsman will be selected from the upper echelons of this branch. Although your qualifications are shallow, considering the leader’s evaluation of you, it is not impossible to be appointed as the new Helmsman from above."

"Your competitors are still locked in prison and won't be able to come out until three days later. With such stupid behavior, the evaluation from above will not be very high."

"The Spring Picking Festival is a big festival in several nearby counties and has a significant impact. If something happens during such a festival, you will be looked at differently from above." Helmsman Chu hinted at Lu Yang vaguely.

Lu Yang told Helmsman Chu’s words to Meng Jingzhou and others. Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu were very glad that they chose to spread rumors and make trouble for Qin Yuanhao instead of asking the government for help.

Otherwise, how could there be such a prosperous barbecue shop.

Lu Yang felt that there was something wrong with their focus.

"It’s just that I don't know who the undercover agent arranged by Helmsman Chu is." The four were very troubled. They didn't know who in the government office was qualified to know about the yellow talisman.

"Don't worry, you will know who the undercover agent is when you become the Helmsman. Helmsman Chu values you so much, he will definitely tell you before he leaves!" Meng Jingzhou laughed, not expecting Lu Yang to be promoted so quickly.

If Lu Yang was promoted, he and Man Gu could toss around in Yanjiang County however they wanted.

It’s good to have someone covering you.

The four were discussing enthusiastically when Commandant Wei’s knocking on the door came from outside.

"Little Shopkeeper Lu, I’m here to send you a silk banner again."

Lu Yang opened the door and welcomed Commandant Wei in enthusiastically.

"Yo, everyone is here. It’s really lively," Commandant Wei said casually.

"We are discussing yesterday’s case."

Hearing Lu Yang say this, Commandant Wei warned seriously: "Little Shopkeeper Lu, you must keep the case last night secret and don't talk to others."

"I also know that you are not ordinary people, but cultivators who come here to experience life, and sometimes you act bravely."

"But this time is different. This time it involves ruthless Demonic Path cultivators. If you are not careful, there will be life danger. You must not look for the owner of the talisman paper."

Lu Yang smiled. The Demonic Path warned him not to intervene in this matter, and the Righteous Path also warned him not to intervene in this matter.

"Don't laugh, this is a very serious matter!" Commandant Wei thought Lu Yang didn't take this matter to heart.

Lu Yang straightened his face and promised not to intervene in this matter again. Only then did Commandant Wei feel relieved and left.

"Drink some tea before you go."

Commandant Wei waved his hand: "No, the leader is in a hurry, and I have to take people to look for other talisman papers."

After sending Commandant Wei away, the four Lu Yang were worried that the government office didn't have enough manpower and might not be able to catch the person in the dark.

If there was a deviation in this matter, I don't know how many people’s lifespan would be taken away by the person in the dark.

Lu Yang lowered his head and thought: "We have learned the method of hiding our breath, but it is not necessarily safe to just use the method of hiding our breath."

He looked up at Lan Ting, who was learning to skewer meat with the ghosts, and had an idea.

"Fellow Daoist Lan Ting, I have a request."

Lan Ting smiled: "We are all Immortal Sect disciples, fighting demons together. I am your subordinate now, so don't be so distant. Just call me Lan Ting."

Lu Yang followed the trend: "Lan Ting, can you teach us the Invisibility Talisman?"

Lan Ting understood Lu Yang’s meaning: "You mean you want to use the Invisibility Talisman to hide your figure and secretly help Commandant Wei?"

Lu Yang nodded.

"Of course, no problem. The Invisibility Talisman is not a very difficult rune. As long as your talent is not too bad, you can learn it in half a day."

Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu were very excited to hear that they could learn new things, and it wasn't taught by Lu Yang.

"Have you three learned talismans?"

The three shook their heads in unison.

Lan Ting was not surprised: "Then I will teach you from the beginning."

Lan Ting was also very excited. This was the first time she taught others. When she was in the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace, it was her senior sisters who taught her. Now it was finally her turn to be a teacher.

"The essence of talismans is to materialize spells in the form of graphics and put them on paper. You three are from the Dao Seeking Sect, and your talent in spells is not bad, so it will be easy to learn."

"...The talisman gall is the soul of a talisman order. Whether a talisman can fully exert its effect largely depends on whether there is a talisman gall guarding it..."

"...The most commonly used pattern in talismans is the Cloud Rune. The Cloud Rune is a pattern created by imitating the changing shapes of clouds in the sky, taken from nature..."

"Specifically for the Invisibility Talisman, it is to use 'Gang' as the talisman gall and the ethereal fixed-style Cloud Rune as the pattern."

Lan Ting dipped her fingertips in a little clear water, and the fingers walked like dragons and snakes. After a few strokes, she drew an Invisibility Talisman on the desktop. She sucked it with her palm, and the Invisibility Talisman left the desktop and adhered to her palm.

Lan Ting patted it on her body, and disappeared under the gaze of the three.

A few breaths later, Lan Ting appeared and said lightly: "This is the most elementary Invisibility Talisman, which can only hide the body from vision. You should be able to detect my position through details such as breathing and heartbeat."

The three nodded. Even so, it was quite powerful.

"You try it."

After half a day of study, the three had a preliminary understanding of talismans and took out the Four Treasures of the Study to start trying to write the Invisibility Talisman. They couldn't do the step of using water as a talisman yet.

Meng Jingzhou had practiced calligraphy for many years and wrote a good hand. His right hand and wrist holding the brush were extremely stable.

He operated spiritual energy at the tip of the brush and soon drew an Invisibility Talisman, which was 80% similar to what Lan Ting drew.

After drawing a few more times, it was almost the same as Lan Ting’s.

Meng Jingzhou smiled and stuck it on his body, and he really disappeared.

Man Gu’s talent in this area was a bit worse, and his control of spiritual energy was not fine enough. He tried dozens of times before succeeding once. As the number of attempts increased, the success rate became higher and higher.

Lan Ting secretly marveled. Truly worthy of being a disciple of the Dao Seeking Sect, naturally talented in talismans.

How was Lu Yang?

Lan Ting looked at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang also soon wrote an Invisibility Talisman, and it was a one-time success. His talent was extremely terrifying.

Lu Yang stuck the Invisibility Talisman on his body, and his whole person disappeared.

However, only the person disappeared, and the clothes were still there.

It was like a ghost.

"What the hell!" A magical thing happened; the clothes could talk.

Lu Yang thought that since he was in an invisible state, he simply took off his clothes.

Then he despairingly found that the Invisibility Talisman paper could still be seen.

What kind of invisibility was this!

He almost wanted to tear off the Invisibility Talisman paper.

Fortunately, his reason still worked, and he didn't do that.
