Chapter 51: The Gathering of the Six
Outside the building, a chilling wind howled, and mist suddenly surged.
Jin Mingyang turned to look at the corner and heard a sigh.
The black-faced man, Gao Yuhu, stepped forward, having arrived unnoticed until now. At the same time, a delicate voice shouted from outside, “Who dares to show off in front of me, Lian Luosha?”
“Senior Sister Lian is here too?” Li Hui frowned slightly. He had thought there would be opportunities, but instead, fighting was about to begin. The sect clearly had everything planned and was not giving the disciples any chance to avoid battle.
Looking back at Jin Mingyang, it seemed he was busy for the sect, but his true intentions were very suspicious.
Lian Luosha raised her beautiful leg and stepped through the window, gliding like a water snake to Li Hui’s side, playfully smiling as she awaited the talisman light to teleport them.
“Buzz…” A beam of light flickered, dropping a five-link chain from above.
“Wow! They actually gave a chain directly! The sect is rarely this generous—Junior Brother, hurry and see what it is!” Lian Luosha exclaimed, her curly hair cascading down to her waist, her figure close enough to Li Hui that it made him feel flustered.
Zhang Tianhua and Bai Yulian also received two chains, a six-link chain and a four-link chain, respectively. They both promptly pointed to release their packages.
Li Hui received five packages, and upon opening them, he was greatly moved.
The first package contained thirty bundles of a total of three thousand sheets of blank talisman paper—not ordinary paper, but the unique Feathering Blue Talisman paper of the Jade Symbol Sect.
This talisman paper was not yellow but a rare shade of blue.
It was said that on Jade Spring Mountain, there was a bird with pure blue feathers, brought in during the peak of the Jade Symbol Sect’s power from overseas. After a series of complex breeding processes, talisman paper made from these feathers significantly increased the success rate of talisman creation.
Some said it increased the rate by thirty percent; others said fifty percent. The actual improvement varied from person to person, but in any case, using this blue paper for talisman-making would definitely enhance the success rate.
The second package also contained blank talisman paper, even higher quality than the Feathering Blue Talisman paper, but only five hundred sheets, made from the precious yellow talisman paper.
Yellow talisman paper was extremely valuable; even with the resources of the Jade Symbol Sect, its annual production was very limited, even fewer in number than the Empty Embroidered Talismans. While it could enhance the success rate, its true value lay in the chance it had to produce special spirit marks on the back of various levels of spirit talismans.
The third package contained two blocks of blood ink and two inkstones.
Li Hui had already used half a block of blood ink and was unsure of where to buy more, not anticipating that the sect would address his needs directly!
The two inkstones were also excellent items, carved from sea-patterned stones, immensely beneficial for drawing water and blood talismans, far superior to the ordinary inkstones he was using.
The fourth and fifth packages contained what he truly needed—spirit swords made from three-pattern sharp metal talismans, a hundred silver money symbols, ten gold money symbols, fifty four-pattern pine tree talismans, thirty six-pattern lark talismans, and twenty medicinal talismans.
Without hesitation, Li Hui handed over thirty pine tree talismans, fifteen lark talismans, and ten medicinal talismans to Lian Luosha.
Since higher-level talismans had a lower success rate for creation, even if the sect was generous enough to provide six-pattern spirit talismans, that would be the limit. Seven-pattern and eight-pattern talismans were usually supplied individually and couldn’t be provided in bulk. As for nine-pattern talismans? Inner Sect Disciples might have a few, but they were as rare as phoenix feathers, and it was already difficult to keep five or six of them!
Lian Luosha looked at the spirit talismans in her hand, narrowed her enchanting eyes, and said joyfully, “Dear little brother, do you have feelings for me? You’re being so nice to me!”
Li Hui couldn’t help but smile wryly. “Senior Sister, stop playing! We’re going to need to fight soon! Here, the only one I can trust is you, and no matter how good the items are, I need to stay alive to use them. I’m afraid that if I wait too long, I’ll be taken out before I can use them.”
“Humph! With me here, who dares to touch you?” Lian Luosha scanned the room, completely disregarding Zhang Tianhua, and focused on Jin Mingyang.
Zhang Tianhua felt puzzled. Lian Luosha had always been wary of him, but now she seemed different; he couldn’t quite figure out how. There was a hint of ethereality amidst her charming demeanor.
Bai Yulian received a four-link chain and only had five hundred fewer sheets of yellow talisman paper than Li Hui. She divided all her items and suddenly handed them out.
A surprising scene unfolded—ripples arose around Bai Yulian, and a hand extended to take the items, then that hand vanished again.
“Hmm? Who are you…”
Jin Mingyang felt incredibly shocked, realizing that someone had slipped past detection and entered the tavern invisibly. Even with the Ghost River Shattering Great Formation just activated, it was difficult to move silently.
Seeing everyone’s surprise, Bai Yulian spoke up: “Do you all know Brother Mo Xinghe? We agreed to split our gains.”
“Mo Xinghe?” Jin Mingyang felt a chill in his heart but showed no emotion.
When talking about Mo Xinghe, whose low profile mirrored Bai Yulian’s, nobody dared to provoke him. Even Inner Sect Disciples were tight-lipped around him, for his combat power was astonishing.
In several barely-known internal disputes within the sect, Mo Xinghe had emerged victorious. Many elders wanted to take him as a disciple, but he had yet to break through the Spirit Motion stage. After a period of consolidation, no one knew how strong he had become.
This Mo Xinghe was not only mysterious but also deeply enigmatic!
He spoke not a word and showed not his face; he took the items Bai Yulian shared with him and then vanished without a trace, yet just moments ago, he had reached out to show his presence, as if warning everyone not to entertain any ghostly plots against Bai Yulian.
Zhang Tianhua opened his mouth; he received the most benefits and was naturally unafraid, but the issue was that he couldn’t escape now. Li Hui and Bai Yulian had partners, while he was all alone.
Zheng Tianxiang looked at the six-link chain in Zhang Tianhua’s hand and forced a smile, saying, “Hehe, Brother Zhang, so you are indeed the renowned flower thief, Zhang Tianhua. The Buddha says, ‘To gain, one must be willing to give’; with you gaining so much, today we are going to engage in a fierce battle with the disciples of the Hidden Sky Sect. If we do not unite, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
“Do you think you qualify to take food from me, Zhang Tianhua? The unimaginable is your mother! Get lost!” Zhang Tianhua suddenly unleashed his aura. Light patterns shimmered progressively on his arms, chest, back, and legs, eventually illuminating his forehead. With a leap, he vanished from sight.
Jin Mingyang said, slightly surprised, “Is that the reusable nine-pattern Wind-Going Talisman? But to escape from the Ghost River Shattering Great Formation, isn’t that a bit naive?”
Gao Yuhu turned his gaze away, picked up a hoe from the side, tossed it over his shoulder, and strode toward the stairs without saying a word.
The six outer disciples of the Jade Symbol Sect, who memorized the scriptures stored in the scripture hall, surprisingly gathered together today. If they had been even a moment late, it would not have been so synchronized. It seemed as if an invisible hand was secretly controlling everything…
