Chapter 109 Zhang Tie's Hidden Trick

Chapter 110 Zhang Tie's Hidden Trick

Mid- to high-level talismans are extremely useful even for Core Formation stage cultivators, almost equivalent to a full-force attack in the late Core Formation stage, not to mention the most powerful lightning attribute talisman: the Five Thunderbolts Talisman.

Such a powerful talisman is something that even Nascent Soul cultivators rarely manage to withstand head-on.

Therefore, as soon as Madam Qingya finished speaking, everyone was surprised and immediately asked questions.

"What does the fairy wish to exchange? Spirit stones, materials, or elixirs?"

Talismans of the Five Thunderbolts level are no longer suitable for exchange with spirit stones.

Given Lady Qingya's status, she was not lacking in spirit stones, so most of the time she would exchange them for other things.

"Fellow Daoist, your insight is truly remarkable; I admire you greatly. As you wish, I would like to exchange this Five Thunderbolts Heaven-Shattering Talisman for a material: the pelt and essence of a level six or higher demon beast, or spirit wood over three thousand years old."

Lady Qingya smiled and revealed the item to be exchanged.

"The essence blood and fur of a level six or higher demon beast, and three thousand-year-old spirit wood—could it be that the fairy is about to research and create a high-level talisman?"

One of the Core Formation cultivators blurted out in surprise.

Upon hearing this, the crowd looked at Madam Qingya with more respect, and the previous fervor disappeared.

After all, there are very few advanced talisman makers in the entire Tiannan cultivation world.

If Lady Qingya really becomes a high-level talisman maker, it will be no less than adding a Nascent Soul cultivator to the entire Wanmiao Temple.

"What you say is true, fellow Daoist. My ability to comprehend the mysteries of advanced talismans is also thanks to a young friend from the Yellow Maple Valley of Yue Kingdom."

Lady Qingya's beautiful face remained smiling as she nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

"Yellow Maple Valley, I wonder which fellow Daoist has been so kind to the lady?"

Another Core Formation stage cultivator couldn't help but ask.

He was also skilled in talisman making and was a mid-level talisman maker, but his reputation was somewhat inferior to that of Lady Qingya.

At most, one can draw intermediate-level talismans; drawing intermediate-level and high-level talismans depends almost entirely on luck.

Therefore, he naturally cared about the young friend from Huangfeng Valley mentioned by Lady Qingya.

He came from Xi Kingdom and had just arrived in Yuanwu Kingdom.

"This young friend from Huangfeng Valley is quite famous; he is Zhang Tie from Huangfeng Valley. If you have the time, you can go to Huangfeng Valley to learn from him; you will definitely benefit greatly. It was only after discussing with Zhang Tie for a long time that I had some confidence in drawing a high-level talisman. However, the talisman paper and cinnabar materials are required, otherwise the success rate would be low. If I could obtain the hide and blood of a level six or higher demon beast, or talisman paper made from spirit wood over three thousand years old, I would have a much greater chance of drawing a high-level talisman."

Lady Qingya calmly explained the whole story.

These words greatly surprised many cultivators in the hall, especially those from Yue Kingdom and Yuanwu Kingdom.

They knew that Zhang Tie of Huangfeng Valley possessed unique and unparalleled talisman-making skills, which were beyond the reach of ordinary talisman makers. However, they did not expect him to be so skilled, as he had actually helped Lady Qingya advance further.

Of course, it is also related to Lady Qingya's already remarkable talent in talisman making and her cultivation level.

But this is enough to demonstrate Zhang Tie's prowess.

"Senior Sister, I never imagined that Fellow Daoist Zhang Tie of Huangfeng Valley would be so powerful, with such monstrous talent in talisman making. It seems I'll have to ask him for some guidance sometime, as I happen to be quite interested in the art of talisman making."

After hearing what Lady Qingya said, Fairy Ni Chang's eyes lit up and she transmitted her voice to Nangong Wan.

Lin Yue was naturally able to hear it as well.

Lin Yue suddenly felt a headache coming on, since Zhang Tie was no longer in Huangfeng Valley; he had already left to help him collect Buddha statues.

If Fairy Ni Chang were to go to Yellow Maple Valley to see Zhang Tie, then this matter would become quite troublesome.

But it's not unsolvable; at worst, we can say that Zhang Tie is in seclusion, trying to break through a bottleneck.

Under these circumstances, Fairy Ni Chang could no longer insist on seeing her.

So, it's not a big problem.

But Zhang Tie's troubles will likely continue from now on. To be precise, they're not really troubles; it's just that Zhang Tie has become infamous because of Madam Qingya's words.

Although Huangfeng Valley is not well-known in the cultivation world of Tiannan and can only be considered a first-class cultivation sect, it still has a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge.

Zhang Tie is such an important talisman-making master, with a status comparable to a Core Formation cultivator, and his spiritual root aptitude is not bad, so as long as he doesn't leave Huangfeng Valley or even Yue Kingdom, there's no need to worry about his safety.

In reality, even if someone is forcibly abducted, such as one of the six demonic sects of Tianluo Kingdom, as long as they agree to submit to the other party, they will not be in any danger to their lives; at most, their freedom will be restricted.

Such skilled individuals are rare in any cultivation sect or family, and their lives are rarely endangered.

This woman had spoken with Lin Yue.

Even so, Lin Yue didn't have a good impression of this elegant lady. Clearly, her purpose in saying this was not just to make Zhang Tie famous, but also to cause trouble and seek revenge.

Of course, it's also possible that Lin Yue was judging a gentleman by his own petty standards.

Regardless, Zhang Tie became famous in the following period, and it's believed that many high-level cultivators would seek his talismans.

This is a good thing, and I believe we'll get a lot of good things too.

This is basically beyond doubt.

As for the level six or higher demon beast pelts and blood that Lady Qingya needs, Lin Yue doesn't have them, but he does have spirit wood that is over three thousand years old.

Therefore, although he didn't have a good impression of this elegant lady, Lin Yue was still interested in the intermediate-to-high-level Five Thunderbolts Talisman.

Whether for personal use or as a gift to protect Xin Ruyin, it is a good choice.

With Han Li, the "working man," around, there's practically as many spirit trees over three thousand years old as you could want.

Moreover, Zhang Tie also needs a large amount of talisman paper made from spirit wood to draw intermediate-level talismans.

Therefore, both Lin Yue and Han Li had quite a few of these items on them, for unforeseen circumstances.

So, while the other cultivators were looking at each other in bewilderment, Lin Yue stood up and spoke.

"How about the three-thousand-year-old cloud bamboo wood? Is the fairy satisfied?"

"Yunzhu wood, that would be suitable. I wonder how many friends there are?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Qingya, who had initially been somewhat disappointed, brightened up and quickly asked again.

With the talisman paper in hand, as for the cinnabar, other materials can be used instead, which isn't too difficult.

Only talismans made from the hides of level six or higher demonic beasts, or from three-thousand-year-old spirit wood, can withstand the powerful spiritual energy of high-level talismans, making them less prone to failure.

Of course, the main reason is that she has just begun to comprehend it and has not yet fully mastered the control of her spiritual power.

Once you have complete control, the requirements for the talisman paper materials will not be so great.

"Around seventeen pounds, I wonder if that's enough!"

Lin Yue said in a calm tone.

"That's enough, of course it's enough, thank you, fellow Daoist."

Madam Qingya smiled gently.

"Wait a minute, with so many thousand-year-old spirit trees, one Five Thunderbolts Talisman won't be enough."

Seeing this, Lin Yue shook his head instead.

"Oh! So, how many talismans, or something else, would you like, friend?"

Madam Qingya's smile froze slightly as she spoke softly.

"Not many, four more will do."

Lin Yue revealed a surprising number: five Five Thunderbolts Talismans, worth thousands of spirit stones.

However, while cloud bamboo wood over three thousand years old is also quite valuable, it is ultimately just unrefined spirit wood. Moreover, the talisman paper needed for high-level talismans cannot be drawn on spirit wood casually; it requires special methods of refining, and the success rate is not very high.

"How about two Five Thunderbolts Talismans? Fellow Daoist should know that although you have a lot of spirit wood, the chance of refining it into a high-level talisman is not very high. Moreover, there is an extremely high failure rate in drawing high-level talismans. Therefore, at most two Five Thunderbolts Talismans."

After a moment's consideration, Lady Qingya bargained, "The high failure rate is due to your lack of skill, Fairy, and has nothing to do with my spirit wood. So, five Five Thunderbolts Talismans are required, not even one less."

Lin Yue shook his head without any politeness.

Upon hearing Lin Yue say that her "skills" were lacking, Madam Qingya's face stiffened, and her smile vanished. However, she suppressed her anger and questioned him in a rather cold tone.

"Oh! Could it be that you, fellow Daoist, are also a master of talisman making?"

Upon hearing this, everyone else turned to look at Lin Yue, their eyes gleaming with amusement.

Any master would get angry if their "skill" was questioned, and it might even lead to enmity, let alone Lady Qingya, who is a woman and one of the top three talisman-making masters at Wanmiao Temple.

If one can create high-level talismans, then one is undoubtedly the number one person in Wanmiao Temple and one of the top ten talisman masters in the Tiannan cultivation world. How could one allow others to question one's abilities?

Faced with Madam Qingya's questioning and inquiries, Lin Yue smiled calmly.

"That's none of your business, Madam. However, you should know that neither the pelts of level six or higher demon beasts nor the three-thousand-year-old cloud bamboo wood are ordinary items. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to obtain them again. Otherwise, you probably wouldn't have invited so many friends to participate in this trade fair."

Upon hearing Lin Yue's words, Madam Qingya's beautiful face grew even more unpleasant, because she knew that what Lin Yue said was true. Even the spirit wood of the Wanmiao Temple that was over three thousand years old had been exhausted by her, but unfortunately she still could not break through the bottleneck of high-level talismans, just like she could not break through the bottleneck at all.

She was so close, yet she couldn't break through, and she didn't know what went wrong.

What she didn't know was that this was a hidden trick that Zhang Tie had deliberately left behind when he was discussing the art of talismans with her.

Although it could advance her talisman-making skills, a single misstep could lead her astray and make it difficult to break through.

But they would realize it sooner or later. But it can't be blamed on Zhang Tie. He's not stupid; he would naturally have a backup plan.

Lady Qingya was the same, but Zhang Tie paid no attention to her, focusing instead on studying the "Tongtian Lu" taught by Lin Yue.

For Zhang Tie, there is no better way of talismans than the "Tongtian Lu". As long as he studies it thoroughly and comprehends it successfully, he can achieve the Great Dao.

Zhang Tie is currently obsessed with the art of talismans and pays little attention to anything else.

Apart from the things Lin Yue instructed.
