Chapter 209 Each in Shock
"It's widely believed that Uncle Lin's talisman-making skills are superb, but we still underestimated him."
“These talismans suit me perfectly, young man, I’m willing to exchange them.”
Su Qin was suddenly overjoyed. He had only hesitated slightly before, but had not refused.
Otherwise, you will miss out on this set of magical symbols.
He was originally just worried that revealing the third-tier opportunity would be too risky.
However, it now seems that Uncle Lin's exchange of third-tier magic talismans also exposed his own secrets and took on certain risks.
A mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, yet he has mastered the method of making third-tier talismans.
Although theoretically comparable to a Golden Core cultivator, it is not a true Golden Core realm.
They are highly likely to be targeted by some unscrupulous Golden Core cultivators and imprisoned as slaves specializing in making talismans.
This kind of thing is not unprecedented in the cultivation world.
In short, after Lin Changsheng took out these chips, both sides got what they wanted, and everyone was happy.
……
Half a day later, Su Qin flew away from Changchun Peak.
"I never expected that Uncle Lin, who is always so easygoing and refined, is actually a genuine third-tier talisman master! And he even has a Nascent Soul level senior behind him."
As he flew away on his flying magical artifact, Su Qin's heart remained unsettled for a long time.
He always regarded Lin Changsheng as an elder, and felt grateful and respectful towards him.
However, the extraordinary opportunities he had faced since childhood were too unconventional to share with others, causing him immense pressure and sleepless nights.
He is often worried that his opportunity will be exposed and he will fall into danger.
But now he suddenly discovered that Uncle Lin was in a similar situation to himself, also possessing a Nascent Soul level expert.
After this transaction, the two essentially exchanged secrets, which they both understood without saying a word.
Su Qin felt as if he had found a kindred spirit, and suddenly felt much more relaxed.
"A fourth-tier transformed demon king... In the Yue Kingdom recently, only that Azure Wood Demon Butterfly has transformed, causing quite a stir. The geographical location also matches. It seems that the demonic infant on that little talisman master's body is most likely a fourth-tier Azure Wood Demon Butterfly from the Ten Thousand Peaks Mountains. I wonder how he coexists with the demonic infant. Strange, very strange..."
An old, muttering voice echoed in Su Qin's mind.
"Master, what is the condition of the demon king's infant demon? If it had suddenly attacked earlier, would you have been confident in dealing with it?"
Su Qin looked on with curiosity.
"Hmph, that transformed demon king is only at the fourth level, which is already at the bottom among the fourth level. He was also severely injured by two Nascent Soul True Monarchs working together, so his condition is much worse than mine. I, your master, have cultivated the early Nascent Soul stage to perfection. If it weren't for the fact that the little talisman master was quite well-behaved in the previous transactions, I would have wanted to devour that demon infant to nourish my own origin."
"Even if we spare that demon infant's life, as a transformed demon king, he won't be of much help to that little talisman master's cultivation. At most, he can only help save his life in critical moments."
An arrogant voice echoed in my mind.
"As expected of Master, he is truly amazing!"
Su Qin was in a good mood and couldn't help but offer a compliment, feeling honored to be a part of it.
……
Inside Changchun Peak.
"I never imagined that the senior in Su Qin's body was actually a Nascent Soul cultivator in his previous life!"
Lin Changsheng exclaimed in surprise.
From this perspective, Su Qin is indeed a person with great potential, and his future is immeasurable.
Fortunately, he hadn't coveted the other party's opportunity back then, otherwise the Nascent Soul senior behind him probably wouldn't have let it go.
"Young Lin, we've only separated our nascent souls from our bodies; we haven't perished!"
A tiny green light flashed out, and Aoki King Butterfly corrected him in an unfriendly tone.
"Senior Aoki, what was the state of that human's Nascent Soul stage before? Is it possible to determine what realm they were at?"
Lin Changsheng suddenly became curious.
Nascent Soul True Monarchs are practically pillars of the cultivation world; they are by no means unknown.
It is certain that the Nascent Soul cultivator was not from the Yue Kingdom.
"Hmph, this person was only at the early stage of Nascent Soul before. Now his Nascent Soul is extremely weak and almost dissipated. He is naturally far inferior to me. If I wasn't afraid of you interfering, I would have swallowed that human Nascent Soul in one gulp and restored my original state long ago."
Aoki Ocho snorted coldly, her tone full of disdain.
……
Changchun Peak, inside the cave.
Lin Changsheng's body was filled with light green magical power, which continuously flowed into the exquisite talisman brush in his hand that emitted a halo.
Dark red spiritual ink seeped into the talisman paper, outlining a mysterious and complex pattern.
After a long while, the talisman shone brightly, as if swallowing a whale, it absorbed all the magical energy around Lin Changsheng, and its sharp aura rose steadily.
Before long, the aura became saturated, and the luster became restrained.
A near-Tier 3 wood-attribute spell talisman was successfully created, and the project was completed.
After completing the transaction with Su Qin, Lin Changsheng used up his own reserves of high-quality talismans, which he needed to replenish as soon as possible.
It is very difficult for an ordinary Foundation Establishment stage talisman master to draw a third-tier talisman.
Only someone with Lin Changsheng's powerful divine sense and abundant magical power could do it so easily.
But this was the first time he had revealed his true talisman-making skills.
However, if he were not so 'frank', Su Qin would have reservations, and the deal might not go through.
This involves not only the exchange of benefits, but also the ability to understand what others are thinking.
……
A few days later, Xunfengya returned to Changchun Peak Dojo with a communication jade slip in its beak.
"Huh? You're injured?"
Lin Changsheng frowned, then used his divine sense to examine Xun Fengya's body.
There is a shallow wound under its left wing.
It appears to have been left by some kind of sharp magical artifact.
"The Xunfeng Crow is already extremely fast, even comparable to ordinary Pseudo-Core Formation cultivators. The person who managed to injure it must be no ordinary individual. It seems the surrounding environment is indeed becoming increasingly severe. We need to be more cautious when sending the Xunfeng Crow out next time."
Lin Changsheng took out a healing powder and, with the help of the Changchun Kung Fu, disinfected and treated the Xunfeng Crow.
After the extermination, given the constitution of a second-tier Xunfeng Crow demon beast, it will recover in just a few days.
Then Lin Changsheng took out some high-grade feed as a reward. The Xunfeng Crow cawed happily, picked up the feed, and flew out of Changchun Peak.
Before long, a series of urgent 'whooshing' sounds came from outside the dojo.
The Wind Crow flew up dozens of feet into the sky, released the high-level demon beast feed in its mouth, and let it fall freely.
Below, the snow wolf excitedly wagged its tail, cheering and jumping for joy.
But just as the feed was falling to a height of more than ten feet above the ground, it was snatched back into the mouth by the swooping wind crow, causing the snow demon wolf to howl wildly.
……
Inside the cave, Lin Changsheng browsed through the communication jade slips.
Before long, the jade slip destroyed itself.
Lin Changsheng also learned about the contents.
There are two main pieces of news.
First, there is a report on the recent war in the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Unlike the usual leaked briefings, Liu Qing held a high position among the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Chayin Palace, and much of the intelligence he obtained involved high-level secrets.
Different stances, different statuses, and vastly different intelligence they possess, sometimes even completely contradicting the truth.
Lin Changsheng combined different intelligence reports from various sources, cross-refered them, and thus broke down the information gap, which allowed him to make a basic judgment about the general situation of the war.
Secondly, Liu Qing requested assistance by obtaining some more high-quality second-tier spell runes.
Relying solely on prohibitions to suppress others can easily lead to a backlash in the long run.
Therefore, not long ago, when Lin Changsheng sent out the antidote, he also included some high-quality talismans.
This allowed Liu Qing to achieve great success on the battlefield, gaining the favor of Master Yin Shuxuan and receiving a large amount of resource rewards.
This caused a change in Liu Qing's mindset, and she became dependent on Lin Changsheng.
As a result, the content of the subsequent jade slips of communication gradually became more detailed, whereas it had been perfunctory at first.
Some things that could be said or not said are also included.
This gave Lin Changsheng a more precise grasp of the situation.
After a moment's thought, Lin Changsheng readily agreed to Liu Qing's initial request.
Whether such an action would aid the enemy was completely outside his consideration.
Even if he, a mere talisman master, gave his all, he could not influence such a massive transnational war.
Regardless of the outcome, it will have little impact on ordinary cultivators in both countries' cultivation communities.
The main beneficiaries will be those who influence the strategic level, such as Golden Core cultivators or True Lords.
