An Chen Cultivated for an entire night, only stopping when his stomach rumbled.
His Cultivation showed visible progress again.
It was like watching a game download progress bar when he was little; seeing it inch forward bit by bit brought an inexplicable joy.
However, An Chen thought of a serious problem during his Cultivation.
That was, now that the Transmigration had become seven days, what about Zhou Limin, who had also become a Transcendent?
He had previously suggested Zhou Limin bring his own food and water, which would barely allow him to survive in Jiuzhou, but since the time had suddenly increased to seven days, the two days' worth of provisions would not be enough.
He also didn't know if Zhou Limin had contacted Kunpeng, and An Chen further didn't know if Kunpeng could help him solve this problem, after all, he didn't know how capable Kunpeng was.
Could they truly solve the problems of all Transcendents?
There were quite a few with more severe problems than Zhou Limin.
An Chen somewhat wanted to go to Qingfeng City to find Zhou Limin, because Zhou Limin's family had truly treated him well; that tutoring job was almost overtly helping him. Moreover, based on Zhou Limin's description, An Chen could roughly guess which area of Qingfeng City he was in, and he had the conditions to help.
However, An Chen also knew that going to find him might not be helping him, and could even harm him, and the Grand Elder following him would also become suspicious.
So he was powerless to help.
"Oh, Junior Brother, going to eat too?"
Halfway there, Chen Sheng's voice came from behind An Chen.
"Ah, yes."
"Let's go, together!"
An Chen nodded, stopped to wait for his two Senior Brothers, and then walked together with them.
The two of them were still good to him, although they might have harbored thoughts of clinging to his coattails later, An Chen also knew that was human nature and nothing to criticize.
An Chen noticed that Jiang Shixiong had two big dark circles under his eyes, so he asked:
"Senior Brother Jiang, you look like you haven't rested well?"
"Mm, I suppose so."
Jiang Shixiong nodded, then yawned again.
"After eating, I'll quickly go back to catch up on sleep; I feel like I'm about to collapse."
"Senior Brother, did you Cultivate all night?"
An Chen himself didn't feel tired at all when Cultivating, but Jiang Shixiong was different; Cultivating all night would still lead to Mental Energy fatigue, requiring sleep and relaxation.
"When does he ever Cultivate all night! He used up quite a few of his strange Talismans after going down the mountain on a mission two days ago, and he's been Drawing Talismans all night, making so much noise that I almost couldn't sleep well either."
"I saw a new Talisman in a Talisman book that I think has great application prospects. After Drawing those Talismans, I researched it for a while... and ended up researching until dawn. You can't blame me for that, right?"
Jiang Shixiong yawned again, then was slapped on the back of the head by Chen Sheng.
"If you spent the time you spend pondering these Talismans on Cultivation, you would have reached Qi Refining Peak long ago."
"Impossible, at most Qi Refining Tenth Level."
"You're really getting cocky, aren't you?"
An Chen suddenly spoke up and asked:
"Senior Brother Jiang, what Talisman did you Draw this time?"
He didn't know why, but he felt a slight anticipation for the so-called new Talisman.
Jiang Shixiong winked at him, a curve on his lips, and held out a finger.
"The name of this Talisman is Rotation Talisman. Anyone who has this Talisman affixed to them will unconsciously start rotating."
An Chen's thoughts returned to the courtyard that day. He imagined a room full of people starting to rotate uncontrollably, like wind-up figures that couldn't stop...
An Chen immediately shivered.
"Senior Brother is amazing."
As long as it's not used on him, anything is fine.
"It's not that I'm amazing, it's the Talisman book I found that's amazing. There are many more Talismans recorded in it, and I'm striving to learn them all. They will definitely sell well in the future."
"Have the Talismans you've made so far sold?"
Chen Sheng poured a bucket of cold water.
..."No."
"Then what makes you think you'll be able to sell them in the future?"
"I haven't finished learning yet! And the reason they haven't sold is because those people don't know good goods; they don't know how good my Talismans are. Once they see the Heaven-Defying effects of my Talismans in the future, they'll definitely line up begging me to sell them!"
"These Talismans of yours... have no effect!"
Chen Sheng's words were indeed correct.
The general uses of Talismans are for Cultivation, combat, and so on. These Handstand Talismans, Crawling Talismans, Rotation Talismans, and Laughing Charms can't really be used in combat.
The grade of these Talismans is too Low Grade; they can only control Mortals and low-Realm Cultivator. For high-Realm Cultivator, they are just Waste paper .
However, using them as instruments of torture might be a thought...
But the point that they are very effective on Mortals...
An Chen immediately grasped the key point.
Yes, very effective on Mortals.
There are many Mortals on Earth, aren't there?
"Senior Brother, do you sell these Talismans? I'll buy them!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng immediately became energetic, pushing Chen Sheng aside to hug An Chen, and then mocked him by saying:
"Our Junior Brother really has Wisdom Eye and knows what treasures are!"
Then, he looked at An Chen and asked expectantly:
"Little Junior Brother, how many Talismans do you want? Senior Brother can Draw all of them for you today!"
"The Handstand Talismans, Crawling Talismans, and Laughing Charms you used before, I want... five of each."
An Chen planned to take these items and see if he could sell them on Earth.
Although the effects were a bit strange, Mortals could also use them. As long as they were stuck on the opponent, they could make someone lose their combat ability, either laughing until they foamed at the mouth, doing a handstand until their arms went numb, or only being able to crawl and twist darkly on the ground.
With over a billion people in China, someone would surely be interested in this kind of thing.
Moreover, if he were to really sell highly damaging weapons, Kunpeng probably wouldn't stand idly by. But for these Talismans, which even have a somewhat entertaining nature, Kunpeng wouldn't go so far as to confiscate all of them, would he?
"Then for these fifteen Talismans, you give..."
"Ten Spirit Stones per Talisman, at market price."
These Talismans were all of the Qi Refinement Stage Low Grade, and they were only ten Spirit Stones on the market.
"No need, no need, five Spirit Stones per Talisman is enough, no need for that much! The raw Materials like Talisman paper are all very cheap."
Drawing Talismans relies on Talisman brushes, using spiritual energy as ink to Draw corresponding patterns and runes on Talisman paper. High-grade Talismans are much harder to Draw and consume more Mental Energy.
However, Jiang Shixiong's Talismans were very simple; the Talisman paper even had only a few strokes forming the pattern, and they didn't consume much spiritual energy.
Other Talisman masters might only be able to create a few good Talismans a day, but Jiang Shixiong could Draw a stack of these Talismans in one night.
"Then I'll take ten of each."
An Chen took out his tongshen jade talisman and transferred the Spirit Stones.
"Good!"
Jiang Shixiong happily took out a stack of Talismans, drew out ten of each type of Talisman, then folded them neatly and handed them to An Chen.
