Chapter 42 The Primordial Qi Armor Wood Thunder Talisman, used to lure and kill Liu Guisheng
"VIP number 31 (yellow name) has bid 13000 spirit stones. Any higher bids? 13000 spirit stones once, 13000 spirit stones twice, 13000 spirit stones three times. Sold!"
The female auctioneer probably brought down the hammer at the fastest speed she had ever used in her life.
She knew that no one else would bid besides Chen Chunan.
Not long after, two maids from backstage carried a tray containing a fourth-grade talisman into Chen Chunan's private room.
After handing over the spirit stones, Chen Chunan played with the talisman himself.
Chen Hongxian couldn't help but come over to take a look.
Chen Chunan smiled and said to Hongxian, "I'll study this for a few days and see if I can input my Jiamu Divine Thunder. I'll leave it for you to use for protection."
Upon hearing that it was bought for her, Hongxian's eyes instantly narrowed with happiness: "Brother is truly the best brother in the world, mmm~"
Chen Chunan: "Okay, okay."
Chen Chunan had spent almost all his spirit stones and naturally had no intention of staying any longer.
Breakthrough Pill is an auxiliary medicine for breaking through to the Golden Core stage, used to clear away inner demons. As for the spiritual weapon sword formation, I definitely can't afford it for now, not to mention the Golden Core cultivation technique.
Instead of wasting time staying here, it would be better to go back and study the talisman and intensify your cultivation.
"Red Thread, gone!"
"Huh? Brother, aren't we going to watch anymore?"
"I'm not going to look anymore. We can't afford it anyway, so I might as well go back and spend some time cultivating."
"Okay~"
The brother and sister quietly left the private room and blended into the crowd.
However, Chen Chunan did not go back to his own home, but went to Lin Jing's home instead.
The brother and sister saw Lin Jing packing as soon as they entered the door.
Chen Chunan asked in surprise, "What's this?"
"Hi, there's always some murder and robbery that happens after the monthly auction, so I've been a bit busy these past few days. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to make extra steamed buns yesterday."
As she spoke, Lin Jing popped one into her mouth: "Mmm, delicious!"
Chen Chunan's lips twitched. No wonder Lin Jing asked him to steam 100 buns for her yesterday; it turned out she was preparing for a mission.
However, this is to be expected; today is unlikely to be peaceful.
"Lin Jing, I might need to stay at your place for a couple of days. I was being targeted at the auction today."
Lin Jing immediately became interested: "What? Do you want me to help you with this?"
Chen Chunan hesitated for a moment. Lin Jing's strength was indeed not low; she had also reached the second level of Foundation Establishment.
At 28 years old, having this level of cultivation is considered genius in Lingzhou.
However, Liu Guisheng is at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment and is also a talisman master, possibly even a fourth-level talisman master. Chen Chunan is afraid that she is no match for him, and he will have to hold his own in the end.
"No need, you go ahead with your work. I'll just hide for a couple of days. That person should give up quickly."
Chen Chunan briefly explained that he was being watched and needed to stay for two days. Lin Jing had no objections and replied that he should stay without worry, as no one would dare to come, before hurriedly leaving.
Chen Chunan shook his head and ignored Lin Jing. After sending Hongxian to cultivate, he turned to studying fourth-order talisman treasures.
"The Jia Wood Divine Thunder is a spell that uses pure Yang Qi as a guide and is performed using internal alchemy techniques. I wonder if it can be inscribed. Let's give it a try! Please don't fail, 13000 spirit stones, almost three months' salary!"
Chen Chunan slowly condensed a Jiamu Thunder Seed and slowly injected it into the talisman.
Soon, the strange runes inside the talisman were slowly lit up.
This was also the first time Chen Chunan had ever seen how magic spells were inscribed on talismans.
The lightning seed formed by the condensation of Jiamu Divine Thunder was gradually decomposed and then reassembled by the nine complex runes at the core of the talisman.
The power of the wood and the material of the talisman resonated strangely, and new runes were slowly born.
But soon I felt like I was running out of steam.
Seeing this, Chen Chunan immediately increased the supply of pure Yang Qi, and three hours later...
A ray of light also came from the void and poured directly into the talisman treasure, where twelve new runes were arranged in a marvelous pattern.
Chen Chunan instantly grasped the twelve runes, sensing something in his heart.
"The Innate Wood Element, the True Ultimate of Thunder Control, Slaying Evil and Destroying Demons?"
Chen Chunan slowly exhaled and brought the talisman up to his eyes to examine it carefully.
"The power of this Jia Wood Divine Thunder seems to be much stronger than what I've gained even after expending half my spiritual power. Should I test its power on Old Dog Liu?"
Although I am only at the Qi Refining stage, Liu Guisheng might not be too wary of me.
Moreover, although his inner core cultivation combined with his spiritual energy cultivation prevented him from flying through the air, his speed of leaping and soaring was extremely fast.
I've competed with Lin Jing before. She doesn't use the sword pellet to fly, and she's much slower than me.
Even if you can't beat someone, you can run away.
Chen Chunan, who had already planned to lure and kill Liu Guisheng, could no longer sit still once the thought took hold.
The moment the door opened, a small figure appeared in the doorway: "Brother, are you going out?"
Chen Chunan instantly sensed trouble coming: "Brother is just going out to test the talisman, I'll be right back, you wait for me at home for a while."
"No, I'll be scared to be home alone. Please take me with you."
Seeing Hongxian's pitiful appearance, Chen Chunan's heart softened for only a second.
Then she hardened her heart and said, "No, your brother will be back in a quarter of an hour at most. You stay home and don't wander off."
"Hmph~"
Ignoring the angry red thread, Chen Chunan quietly left the courtyard. By then, it was already completely dark.
He had barely left the hospital when he sensed the faint, almost imperceptible, divine sense of the master of the tethering insect scanning his direction.
Chen Chunan sneered inwardly: I knew that old dog was still around.
After being ambushed by the fat and thin duo last time, Chen Chunan began to pay attention to the strange creature known as the Pulling-the-Machine Insect.
Old Qin from Wanfang Chamber of Commerce is a man of great experience; Chen Chunan had asked him about it before when he was selling talismans.
The most important ability of this tethering insect is that it can sense the strength of its host.
After all, when it comes to murder and robbery, shouldn't you pick the easy target?
This is also why Chen Chunan deliberately kept the insect on his body.
Only if the old dog knows that he is just a mere Qi Refiner will he feel safe to ambush and kill him.
There were no curfews or other such rules in the market. The market was brightly lit, and the cries of vendors rose and fell. The girls in the Chunfeng Tower had already begun to solicit customers.
Chen Chunan had no interest in appreciating the unique, cultivation-themed atmosphere of the market and hurried towards the gate.
Two figures followed closely behind him.
"Hmph, this little brat is so impatient. Today I'll teach him the consequences of going against me, Liu Guisheng!"
"Father is right. How dare a mere Qi Refining stage cultivator vie for such a treasure? Doesn't he know that the treasures of the world belong to those with virtue?"
The two men were none other than Liu Guisheng and his son Liu Sen.
Chen Chunan chose the exact spot where the Blood Demon had died last time, intending to reunite Liu Guisheng and his son there.
Just as he landed, a figure suddenly stopped in front of him.
Chen Chunan instantly sensed something was wrong. How could this be Liu Sen? He couldn't possibly have misremembered the spiritual fluctuations. The owner of the Pulling Insect could only be Liu Guisheng!
"Oh no, those old dogs, father and son, have come together! We've overestimated ourselves!"
Just as Chen Chunan's thoughts were turning, another person landed behind him—it was Liu Guisheng, that old dog.
Chen Chunan's heart sank to the bottom of the sea.
"Running away? You little beast, why have you stopped running?"
Liu Guisheng's sinister voice made Chen Chunan feel uneasy.
"You old beast, die!"
Chen Chunan unleashed his full power right from the start.
He could no longer follow the original plan of feigning weakness before defeating the enemy.
If the two Foundation Establishment cultivators aren't going all out, Chen Chunan fears he might never have another chance to go all out.
Three consecutive bolts of divine lightning, one of type A and one of type B, struck Liu Guisheng head-on.
The immense power of the Jia and Yi wood elements caused Liu Guisheng's expression to change drastically, and he immediately summoned a small, earth-yellow shield to hold in front of him.
The protective magic artifact was struck by three bolts of lightning, causing it to teeter on the brink of collapse.
Liu Guisheng was shocked: What kind of thunder technique is this? It actually has the power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator?
Just as Liu Guisheng was defending himself, Chen Chunan went straight for Liu Sen.
The three lightning spells just now looked impressive, with excellent sound and light effects, but in reality, Chen Chunan only used 20% of his spiritual power.
Chen Chunan's real target is Liu Sen!
Liu Sen was only at the first level of Foundation Establishment, not even as good as the Blood Demon True Person, so Chen Chunan naturally picked on this easy target first.
Seeing that Chen Chunan had used a feint, Liu Guisheng quickly warned, "Sen'er, be careful! This little bastard is strange!"
As soon as he spoke, a string of magical artifacts resembling a bracelet flew out of his wrist, transforming into a streak of light that aimed straight for Chen Chunan's back!
Liu Sen wasn't stupid either; he could tell that Chen Chunan's move was quite impressive.
He instantly summoned his protective magic artifact, and with a flick of his hand, several Rank 3 defensive talismans were activated, forming a thick protective shield that kept him inside.
Unfortunately, he was facing a talisman that Chen Chunan had just refined!
Chen Chunan spent three hours charging and storing the three powerful lightning spells, which shot straight at Liu Sen.
Following closely behind was a divine lightning bolt made of wood, powered by 30% of Chen Chunan's spiritual energy.
Hidden behind the thunder magic is a Genyue seal shrunk to the size of a soybean and a Ruyi Jingu Bang as big as an embroidery needle.
Chen Chunan casually popped three Qi-restoring pills into his mouth, summoned the Earth Mirror, and used all his strength to resist the nine bead-shaped magical artifacts controlled by Liu Guisheng behind him.
