Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman-Chapter 112 - 96 Blood Talisman Spirit Body
Chapter 112: Chapter 96 Blood Talisman Spirit Body
The back hall of the temple became quiet.
After a long time, accompanied by the cold wind blowing in from the open door, the mages lying on the ground shivered.
It was then that a younger mage mustered the courage to ask the older mage, the one with the most tributes, “Mage Tap… did you see it?”
“I saw it, he just disappeared right in front of our eyes!”
“This can’t be some sort of mechanism, after all, we’ve personally walked and observed every inch of this temple.”
“I’ve kissed every piece of the floor in this back hall.”
The old mage known as Mage Tap had a solemn expression, with eyes that seemed to shine even in the night, as he looked toward where President Huang had disappeared and said earnestly,
“This is a display of true mysterious power right before our eyes.”
“These Eastern people, they possess the real mystical inheritance!”
“I used to be half skeptical, but now… I will not hesitate any longer.”
“I’m going to notify my children immediately, as well as my disciples, and have them bring all their family wealth to help me.”
After Mage Tap spoke slowly, he was the first to stand up and walk out of the back hall.
The other mages hesitated for a moment, but then made up their minds to invest more in this Magic Meeting.
The very same President Huang who had acted like a sphinx, keeping them in suspense, has shown them authentic evidence of the mysterious tonight.
Consequently, they naturally had to respond in kind.
As for reporting this matter, that was out of the question.
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.
At most, they would inform only their closest and trusted ones to manage the Magic Meeting well and to curry favor with the mysterious Eastern powers.
So as to have hope of gaining a sliver of opportunity in the future.
Even so, it was inevitable that the news would leak out.
After all, with more people involved, it’s impossible to keep information secret.
But the dissemination of such mysterious events through word of mouth is like the tabloid news of aliens and Underground People that can be found all over the streets.
After it got passed on a few times, the people passing it did so for a laugh, and those listening did the same.
No one bothered to discern how much truth lay within.
Inside the Pot Cave Heaven.
President Huang and the other five, summoned, returned to the Bone Burying Ground as familiarly as if they were coming home.
Upon reaching the mountaintop, they found that a tiled house had appeared on the peak of the Bone Burying Ground and the stone chairs and stone table had also returned.
In the corner, they even saw a brand-less trash can.
They weren’t surprised by this, thinking it was something the Rat Taoist had gotten from one of the other Registered Disciples.
Ever since that night, President Huang and the others believed that the Rat Taoist had other sources of information and other Registered Disciples.
Su Ping, upon learning of this, chose not to correct their misconception.
In the style of the Rat Taoist, he praised President Huang and the others, then, as was customary, he took out the Bloodline Stone Plate.
Click! Clack!
Drops of blood samples entered into the Bloodline Stone Plate, and then mana was channeled in to conduct the test.
Hum!
Just when everyone thought there would be no surprises, the Bloodline Stone Plate suddenly changed!
Immortal Texts emerged, complex characters incomprehensible to President Huang and the others:
Blood Talisman Spirit Body!
Su Ping immediately looked over, and with a sweep of his Divine Sense over the provided codes of President Huang and the others,
he tested the blood samples multiple times to locate the code of the blood that triggered the Bloodline Stone Plate’s reaction.
“Shanawati?”
President Huang and his companions, eagerly awaiting the results from the Rat Taoist, heard a somewhat unfamiliar word.
Startled for a moment, President Huang, who had been dealing with the mages from Gad City in recent weeks, quickly caught on and bent over with a smile, saying,
“I know, it’s the name of the Wisdom Goddess of Nepal, a popular name among their girls.”
Having said that, President Huang paused only briefly before continuing,
“Among the blood samples provided this time, there is only one named Shanawati, she is the granddaughter of Mage Tap, the host of the temple’s Magic Meeting.”
Having scanned the provided notes with his Divine Sense, Su Ping knew that President Huang was correct.
After a slight nod and then a shake of his head, he said,
“This lady has talent indeed, but unfortunately does not match the inheritance from my Bone Burying Ground.”
“Still, it’s good to find one with some talent, and for this, you all have merit!”
“But the matter of inheritance must not be taken lightly, the legacy of the Bone Burying Ground must not end with me!”
“Cough, cough, cough!”
Su Ping set the tone for what was to come, and began to give out rewards.
In addition to a new Qi Blood Training Method for Martial Path, Su Ping, in a good mood, also taught each of the six different martial techniques tailored to their unique constitutions.
With the help of Divine Sense, Su Ping effortlessly became like a Great Grandmaster with decades of experience, effortlessly selecting the most suitable martial techniques for them to learn and practice.
President Huang learned a set of Wild Bear Fist Technique, while the tycoon learned the Gale Leg Technique.
The others gained their own unique skills too, and were all tremendously excited, like old returning to youth, itching to practice right there on the mountaintop.
Having found Shanawati, President Huang was credited with the primary merit.
So, in addition to the usual weekly Body Tempering Medicine Bag,
Su Ping also gave him an extra Strengthening Body Pill.
This was a makeshift version of the Qi Blood Pill that Little Taoist Zhouxuan had only concocted the day before yesterday.
The main and auxiliary materials were mostly substituted with cheaper herbs.
After the pill was concocted, its effects were not even one-tenth as potent as the Qi Blood Pill.
It could only be used for trading or as a reward.
Having made a major contribution, President Huang qualified as the lucky one to try the medicine first.
Indeed, for President Huang and others from Water Blue Star, to test Su Ping’s pills was absolutely considered fortunate!
After all, these were truly Transcendent Pills!
At worst, they would have no effect, any side effects would be purified away.
The best outcome was half-stepping into transcendence with that one pill, though it wasn’t as exaggerated as being able to take on ten opponents at once.
While suppressing various illnesses, the sensation of overflowing vitality as if youth had been regained was still something that could be experienced.
The others all looked at President Huang with envy.
They silently lamented his good fortune, being the first to find someone with talent.
As usual, Su Ping left these six people to cultivate in the Bone Burying Ground until the early morning before sending them off.
When they returned, in addition to the Medicine Bag, they also carried gold and various jewels given by Su Ping in the name of Rat Taoist.
These were taken from the inventory of the Frost Moon Villa by Su Ping.
All had been inspected with Divine Sense and there was nothing special when compared to those from the Water Blue Star.
He handed them over to President Huang and the others not for their personal use, but rather for them to exchange for money, which would then be used specifically for Su Ping’s affairs.
As Su Ping’s stall in Nepal slowly expanded, the need for funds grew.
Although President Huang and his colleagues had sufficient fortunes for now,
it wasn’t a long-term solution.
Without a real money-making business,
even the wealth of these minor tycoons, despite their efforts to avoid extortion by shrouding themselves in mystery,
would not last long.
Collecting various potential Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, a large number of precious medicinal herbs, and recruiting manpower for tasks,
not to mention the arms trade connections already established,
each was a financial black hole.
Su Ping didn’t want his Registered Disciples to resort to borrowing money and becoming defaulters,
only to have the truth uncovered later that they had fallen for the words of an Evil Cultivator and were in debt due to their cultivation…
So the best thing was to calculate the total budget carefully; if they were willing to pay tribute, they could take out their available liquid assets and place them in the overall fund to spend.
Instead of stubbornly holding out only to encounter problems later.
As businessmen, President Huang and the others naturally understood Rat Taoist’s thoughts, and they were relieved as well as grateful.
Gad City Magic Meeting Temple, the rear hall.
At dawn, as the sun just started shining on the temple’s spire,
President Huang returned to the rear hall threshold, squinting to acclimate to the light,
He looked around and didn’t find others lingering there.
Clearly, the mages who got a scare from him last night couldn’t predict that President Huang would return.
As for surveillance… only the main hall and the front courtyard had some cameras.
The control room was still managed by their people.
These mages had no authority to view the footage.
President Huang didn’t leave but went straight to the chambers where Mage Tap resided.
He gently knocked on the door.
When the door opened, Mage Tap looked at President Huang with some surprise and was about to greet him when he noticed the other man bowing to him first.
Instantly, Mage Tap, also a shrewd veteran, felt a sinking feeling in his heart, realizing something.
After a friendly exchange,
President Huang left shortly after receiving a promise, satisfied.
Mage Tap became ecstatic and delegated the duty of presiding over the Magic Meeting temporarily to his two deputies.
He then rushed off with his confidants driving straight to his family’s village,
or, it could also be called his estate.
As an established mage,
Mage Tap was also the biggest landlord in the area.
The entire village was his,
and everyone there was his servant or born into his family’s service.
His granddaughter, Shanawati, who was found to have talent, was receiving excellent care from the servants there.
Originally, Mage Tap intended to groom Shanawati well and later arrange a marriage with an heir from another village.
Now, of course, that plan was unnecessary.
Even more so… Mage Tap felt that he should use his current authority to smooth the path for Shanawati and let her become the new Clan Leader.
As for his position as a mage, he was clear-headed enough to know it wasn’t suited for a granddaughter destined for Transcendent Inheritance.
That day, with the return of Mage Tap,
the entire village was abuzz,
Everyone knew that Shanawati had been chosen by a Ghostly God and would be granted blessings to become a greater mage than Old Master Tap himself!
As for Shanawati herself,
having been educated and nurtured by her family’s children, she did not harbor any rebellious thoughts.
Moreover, somewhat worldly through her exposure to the internet, though somewhat skeptical of her grandfather’s portrayal of a bright future,
she still trusted that Mage Tap wouldn’t harm her.
So after some preparation,
as evening approached, in a ceremony almost akin to a grand bridal send-off, Mage Tap took his granddaughter Shanawati to the temple.
This evoked envy and jealousy among the other clueless mages, who wondered why their offspring couldn’t produce such a granddaughter?
And for the others who had yet to witness the mysterious power of the Eastern people,
there was no shortage of skeptics who felt that these charlatans were finally showing their true colors,
starting to play the Goddess card. Yet, had Mage Tap gone mad?
To foot the bill for assistance was one thing, but now he even sent his own granddaughter away!
Truly senile… it’s such a pity for that girl named Shanawati, said to be a rare beauty!
In the Pot Cave Heaven, before the arrival of the newcomer, Su Ping was busy setting up a new Formation in the Bone Burying Ground.
After making preparations, he decided to kill time by drawing cards to relieve his boredom.
