Chapter 752: Spirit Shielding Talisman
Su Yi nodded as Xi Wuqing finished examining the wooden box. It was clear that the box was an ancient artifact, and the sealing restrictions were authentic.
“Grandpa Qin, what if I no longer want this box? Can I return it?”
Su Yi’s eyes twinkled with a smile as he addressed Qin San. “If I decide not to keep this wooden box, will I still be burdened by this heavy debt? The box serves no purpose for me; in fact, I can’t even open it at the moment. It’s practically just a useless piece of wood.”
“You’re joking, sir,” Qin San responded with a chuckle. “There’s a strong chance that it holds valuable treasures, possibly even the legacy of a powerful individual from the Fuyao Sect. Sacred Mountain itself is eager to possess it, and many others covet it. Congratulations on acquiring it, sir.”
With a polite smile, Qin San handed Su Yi the space bag, revealing that he couldn’t refuse the auctioned item.
Su Yi sighed in resignation and reluctantly packed away the wooden box. It wasn’t convenient to carry the Star Cloud Ganoderma, either, but with the protective seals on the jade box, it could safely be placed in the space bag.
“Sir, there’s one more thing. This is a gift from Lingbao Pavilion for you.”
Qin San handed over a small, glowing object to Su Yi. It radiated light, shimmering with symbols, exuding a powerful and dangerous aura.
Su Yi’s eyes gleamed as he examined the object. Its yellowish glow emitted a deep, threatening energy that sent a chill down his spine.
“This is the Soul Controlling Killing Talisman!”
Su Yi’s heart skipped a beat as he recognized the talisman, which resembled the one he had seen at the auction. However, this one seemed even more potent than the third-grade Soul Controlling Killing Talisman from the Yuan Emperor Realm he had encountered before.
The Soul Controlling Killing Talisman had the ability to manipulate residual souls and trap them within its enchantment, unleashing a formidable force upon activation. The more powerful the Soul Tamer, the greater the power of the Soul Controlling Killing Talisman, which also depended on the Tamer’s spiritual energy.
“Sir, this isn’t just any Spirit Harnessing Killing Talisman; this is a Spirit Shielding Talisman, specifically the Fifth Grade Spirit Shielding Talisman from the Yuan Emperor Realm. As a token of our gratitude for your support during the Lingbao Pavilion auction, we present this gift to you. It may be small, but it’s a sincere gesture from us,” Qin San explained.
“A Spirit Shielding Talisman, then,” Su Yi thought to himself, feeling slightly embarrassed. As a Soul Tamer, he hadn’t immediately recognized the difference between the Soul Controlling Killing Talisman and the Spirit Shielding Talisman. However, he understood that the Spirit Shielding Talisman was also a Soul Tamer’s technique and shared similarities with the Soul Controlling Killing Talisman.
The Soul Controlling Killing Talisman was an offensive technique, while the Spirit Shielding Talisman was purely defensive.
Though easier to create, the Spirit Shielding Talisman could only offer protection and couldn’t be used for offense. Nevertheless, it had the ability to withstand powerful attacks, making it a valuable protective item.
“Thank you very much,” Su Yi said without hesitation. He quickly tucked the talisman into his arms. How could he reject it, especially after witnessing the high price the previous Soul Controlling Killing Talisman fetched at the auction? Burdened with a significant debt, it felt like the right decision to accept such a valuable gift.
“Do you need anything else, sir? Would you like to explore the Lingbao Pavilion further?” Qin San asked with enthusiasm.
“No, thank you,” Su Yi replied promptly, shaking his head. He had already accumulated quite the debt, and continuing to wander through the Pavilion might lead to more temptations he couldn’t afford.
The Lingbao Pavilion had a special exit, and soon after, Su Yi and Xi Wuqing stepped out into the open air.
As soon as they left the Pavilion, an invisible and mysterious presence filled the air around them.
Xi Wuqing immediately sensed something was amiss, his expression shifting with concern. His demeanor grew serious as he furrowed his brows.
Su Yi focused, his soul power probing the area under the influence of the Heavenly Yuan Demonic Soul. He detected faint, elusive traces that seemed to be observing him from a distance.
“It seems they’ve been waiting for this moment,” Su Yi mused, his brow furrowing. Since leaving the auction, he had felt a strange sensation as if he were being watched. These subtle traces mirrored the ones he’d noticed earlier inside the auction house.
Su Yi realized that the Star Cloud Ganoderma and the mysterious wooden box had made him a target for numerous powerful figures. While Central Region City would provide some safety, stepping outside the city could lead to dangerous consequences.
“Little brother Yi Su.”
Suddenly, a familiar face appeared, smiling warmly. It was Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan, accompanied by several powerful figures and disciples from Yutian Palace.
“Guan Lan, esteemed elder,” Su Yi greeted with a respectful bow. He had no doubt that this encounter wasn’t by chance. The presence of Yutian Palace members in the VIP box at the auction had made it clear they were aware of his successful bids on the Star Cloud Ganoderma and the wooden box. Guan Lan’s appearance here likely indicated a desire to protect him.
“Brother Su Yi, would you return to Yutian Palace with us?”
Guan Lan nodded toward Xi Wuqing and turned to Su Yi with a surprised expression. He had been puzzled by Su Yi’s treatment at the Lingbao Pavilion, and the items he acquired only deepened his curiosity about the young man.
“Of course, I will,” Su Yi replied, feeling a sense of security in the company of Yutian Palace.
“Let’s go then!” Guan Lan smiled warmly.
…
“Has he left?”
In a plain, spacious room within Yutian Palace, a middle-aged man dressed in green sat cross-legged. His deep gaze shifted toward Qin San, who stood before him.
“Just now, I saw him leave with Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan of Yutian Palace.”
Qin San spoke respectfully, though there was a trace of awe in his eyes when he addressed the middle-aged man.
“Yutian Palace…” The man murmured, his eyes flickering. “Yi Su, from the Overlord Sect, with Heavenly Grade soul quality… such talent, of course, Yutian Palace would want to form an alliance.”
“But does this Overlord Sect truly exist?” Qin San questioned, puzzled. He had never heard of the Overlord Sect before. If it was indeed an obscure group, how could it possess such extraordinary disciples, one being a Yuan Emperor Realm Soul Tamer and the other a powerful demon from the Demonic Emperor Realm?
“The Overlord Sect likely doesn’t exist,” the middle-aged man said with a faint smile. His gaze turned back to Qin San, and his curiosity grew. “What do you think about this person?”
“He is incredibly mysterious. Though young, he seems wise beyond his years. He doesn’t appear to care much about the Fuyao Sect’s wooden box and seems more focused on Sacred Mountain. Moreover, he also possesses a black card from our Lingbao Pavilion, one sent by someone influential…”
