Chapter 207: Chapter 145: Strange Happenings in the Clan, Mysterious Identity, Advancement to Tier Two Middle-Grade Talisman Maker (3)

In other words.

The culprit who devoured so many Spirit Beasts must still be on the Clan Mountain. As long as the other party hasn’t left, with Grandmaster Yu’s ability, it will be possible to find them:

”Brother Rong must be safe!”

Liu Meizhen swiftly arrived at the back mountain.

A month ago.

Grandmaster Yu had already ended his seclusion and began repairing the Array Map of the Ten Thousand Souls Array. By the time Liu Meizhen reached the wine cellar at the back mountain, she saw the Array Light Curtain slowly opening, as if Grandmaster Yu had foreseen her arrival.

There she saw him calmly studying a ragged Array Map in his hands, and thanks to the Witch Snow Pill, he looked much healthier than before.

Liu Meizhen felt a glimmer of hope in her heart.

Grandmaster Yu remained tranquil, surely knowing the bizarre events occurring within the clan, leading to the assumption that he must already know where Brother Rong was located.

Liu Meizhen bowed low to the ground and briefly recounted the strange happenings in the mountain.

Finally, she said:

”Grandmaster Yu, Brother Rong is currently missing. I implore you, for the sake of the Patriarch, to activate the Mountain Protection Array and survey every inch of Clan Mountain, to unearth the culprit who took Brother Rong. If my guess is correct, they are certainly still on Clan Mountain. Grandmaster Yu’s great kindness will surely be repaid tenfold after the Patriarch ends his seclusion!”

Grandmaster Yu didn’t even lift his head.

He said plainly:

”Rest assured, Brother Rong is in a safe place. You’ll return, have the clansmen disperse and return to their positions and duties. Furthermore, after cleaning up the bones, have the clansmen drink a cup of Forgetfulness Water to completely erase today’s memories.”

After a pause.

Grandmaster Yu lifted his gaze to Liu Meizhen:

”If you wish for Brother Rong to grow up safely in the future, don’t forget your own share of Forgetfulness Water.”

Brother Rong is still alive!

The heavy stone in Liu Meizhen’s heart finally dropped.

However.

The words that followed from Grandmaster Yu made her frown deeply. She opened her mouth, wanting to inquire about what exactly had happened, but Grandmaster Yu was evidently absorbed in the Array Map, showing no intention to continue addressing her.

Liu Meizhen’s thoughts raced.

Ultimately, she couldn’t put it to rest:

”Grandmaster Yu, I can drink the Forgetfulness Water, but before that, can I at least confirm Brother Rong’s whereabouts? After all, once I drink the Forgetfulness Water, these memories can be erased.”

Grandmaster Yu appeared as if he hadn’t heard.

Seeming not to have the intention to reply.

Liu Meizhen took a deep breath; she couldn’t rest easy without seeing her son safe with her own eyes. She immediately cupped her hands towards Grandmaster Yu, intending to knock on her husband’s seclusion stone chamber door; at this point, she couldn’t afford to care about much else.

Unexpectedly.

Just as she turned around.

Grandmaster Yu, as if hearing her inner thoughts, spoke:

”I’d advise you not to disturb your husband’s cultivation right now, but whether you listen is up to you.”

As he spoke.

Grandmaster Yu waved his sleeve.

A gentle force escorted Liu Meizhen out.

Liu Meizhen’s pupils shrank.

That force was even stronger than what she felt on her husband, which... which indicated that Grandmaster Yu’s cultivation was at least in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

But.

What was the other party’s true purpose for hiding within the Fu Family?

Does her husband know the other’s identity?

For a moment.

Liu Meizhen’s thoughts swirled.

After exiting the back mountain, pondering for a long time, she ultimately followed Grandmaster Yu’s instructions, tidying up numerous corpses and burning them in one fell swoop, watching the Qi Cultivation Clan Members drink the Forgetfulness Water one by one.

Finally, hesitating for a moment.

She still lifted her head and drank it down.

...

Back mountain wine cellar.

Grandmaster Yu lifted his gaze from the Array Map and said lightly:

”She is indeed sensible.”

.....

Inside the system’s Training Room.

After Fu Changsheng finished the sacrificial refinement of the Human Emperor Banner.

Between crafting Tier Two Middle-Grade Talisman and cultivating ”Green Wood Epoch Lock,” he chose the latter.

After all, it’s a Tier Two Technique.

Once mastered, it can be used indefinitely.

Talisman is a one-time consumable; it needs to be crafted to use.

It’s natural to use effective time to first cultivate ”Green Wood Epoch Lock.”

His hands formed techniques.

Chanting incantation silently.

Green light slowly surrounded his fingertips, but soon, with a bang, the mana scattered again:

”Start over!”

....

Thus, half a year passed.

His hands formed techniques, a brilliant green light shot forth from his fingertips, followed by one vine quickly entwining the floating Treasure Pagoda.

The vine burrowed into the ground.

Continuously extracting Life Essence Power.

The vine, initially thumb-sized, was steadily growing thicker and longer, branching into more tendrils, soon ensnaring the Cloud Ring Purple Immortal Tower tightly:

”Succeeded!”

Fu Changsheng withdrew the technique.

Yet the vine remained coiling around the Treasure Pagoda.

Moreover, as time passed, the vine’s power grew stronger:

”Truly amazing!”

Generally speaking.

Magic is a consumable, quickly dispersing between heaven and earth.

However, this ”Green Wood Epoch Lock” is like planting a seed, able to continuously draw Earth Element Power as nourishment and grow rapidly.

After half a cup of tea.

The once lush vine began to turn yellow, as the cohesion of True Essence had reached its limit, only hearing cracking sounds, the vine surrounding the pagoda eventually exploded into a sky full of red Spirit Light.

Currently, he only cultivated this technique to the Entry Level, able to maintain for several hours, already decent, enough for now, with more time for continued cultivation in the future:

”It’s time to craft Bursting Talismans.”

Taking a fortnight to comprehend the Tier Two Middle-Grade Talisman Making Method for both types, he then began crafting with the brush:

”Bang!”

”Bang!!”

Explosive talisman sounds echoed occasionally in the training room.

Two months later.

The explosions decreased in frequency.

Fu Changsheng held the Talisman Brush, and as the final stroke fell, with a buzz, the turbulent Spiritual Qi within the talisman quickly subsided, the talisman flashed red, transforming into a complete Tier Two Middle-Grade Bursting Talisman.
