66: Chapter 66 Reactions from All Parties
As he read, he unconsciously began to read along. He could understand the beginning, but as the explanation deepened, he struggled to grasp the principles of the Yun Shen Talisman.
Eventually, he fell into a daze, completely unable to remember what had been said later on.
"Who am I? Where am I? And what on earth is this?"
This was precisely the reason why Wang An felt at ease handing this booklet to him first.
Even a high-ranking elder like Daoist Priest Zhang Mingqing, who was well-versed in various Taoist classics and a practitioner with genuine cultivation, found it difficult.
Even with his detailed explanation, without a tangible reference of Wondrous Qi, comprehending the principles within was incredibly difficult.
Before he knew it, a cup of tea's time had passed. Daoist Priest Zhang Mingqing put away the booklet and returned to the authentication room with Wang An.
Just then, Daoist Mingxin had fully recovered, looking refreshed and spirited, his eyes shining brightly.
It was truly the appearance of one whose spirit was full to overflowing, shining with brilliance.
Of course, this only verified that this Taiyin Spirit-Nurturing Talisman had the effect of restoring spirit.
Next, Daoist Priest Zhang Mingqing would need to continue using this talisman for cultivation.
Only after finishing its use would it have the auxiliary effect of accelerating the spirit attribute.
With such a long verification time, Wang An naturally wouldn't just wait around. After giving some instructions on what to pay attention to, he bid everyone farewell and returned home.
The others went out to see Wang An off.
The middle-aged man named Old Yuan called Ji Fangmei to the side.
"Xiao Mei, you will continue to be responsible for verifying the effects of this talisman. Do not let anyone else touch it."
"Oh, okay, Uncle Yuan."
After speaking, he didn't have time to correct her address, and hurriedly walked toward the office area.
After returning to his office, Old Yuan immediately edited what he had seen and heard today into a detailed report on his computer, adding all the information on An Ran.
He sent it all to the Recovery Bureau headquarters in the capital, to the Director-General's office.
He stared at the computer, hesitated for a moment, and then sent this detailed report and information to another agency.
The recipient was none other than the [National Crisis Response Group].
He began to recall the details of this organization in his mind.
The [National Crisis Response Group] was quickly established at the beginning of the meteorite's arrival.
Led by the head of state, it was formed to deal with the series of crisis events caused by the meteorite shower. Its response level was set to the highest grade. If any region discovered an emergency, they did not need to report it through layers of bureaucracy. They could report it to the [National Crisis Response Group] immediately, and someone would naturally handle it quickly.
Although the talisman drawn by this person named An Ran had no danger for the time being, and instead could improve the spirit attribute.
However, that effect which transcended common sense, and the bizarre, impossible-to-remember special talisman runes, were enough for this director of the Changnan branch of the Special Resources Management and Recycling Department to report to the highest level.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he hurriedly ran back to the authentication room.
He grabbed the box that still contained two [Taiyin Spirit-Nurturing Talismans] and entrusted the troops stationed there to send it to the nearest military region.
On the other side, Daoist Priest Zhang Mingqing, who had returned to the Special Administration Bureau, went back to his consultant office.
He closed the doors and windows before opening his phone to find the contact for his senior brother, the abbot Zhang Mingyuan.
The call connected quickly, and a resonant, energetic voice came from the other side, asking unhurriedly.
"Hello, Junior Brother Mingqing, what is the result?"
Daoist Priest Zhang Mingqing looked at the booklet explaining the Yun Shen Talisman in his hand.
With an expression of excitement, along with the expectation and longing a practitioner has for the truths of the world, he hurriedly spoke.
"Senior Brother Abbot, the effect of that talisman is even more astonishing than what we saw in the photos. Only by coming into personal contact with it can one feel..."
On the other end of the phone, hearing Daoist Priest Zhang Mingqing describe it this way, the breathing became a bit rapid.
The appearance of such a wondrous talisman was, to them, no less than seeing the dharma artifacts of the ancestors from historical legends.
As if worried about something, Zhang Mingyuan asked softly.
"Then, did that Fellow Daoist An Ran agree?"
"He agreed. Fellow Daoist An Ran proposed using all of our Tianshi Mansion's talisman inheritance as a trade. He has already given me an illustrated guide to the Yun Shen Talisman and an explanation of the Taiyin Path."
Hearing this news, the person on the other end let out a sigh of relief.
"Good, good. I didn't expect that there would still be someone who could comprehend such wonders."
"Indeed!"
"In these next few days, we will organize all of our talisman inheritance as quickly as possible. You and Fellow Daoist An Ran should set a time to come to our Longhu Mountain. The others also want to meet him. Perhaps because of the arrival of this job-change stone, we are about to welcome an extraordinary era."
...
A day passed. On Daoist Mingxin's side, he had indeed increased his spirit attribute by 0.01 through that Yun Shen Talisman. The authentication was complete, and it matched the described effects.
After the information was sent to Wang An, the official authorities released a statement on the communication platform regarding the effects of the Yun Shen Talisman in the trading post. They indicated that the talisman drawn by Daoist Anran was fully consistent with the described effects.
Previously, some practitioners had already noticed the extraordinary nature of this talisman, and now the official certification had confirmed its effects.
Private message: "Daoist Anran, I wonder how the transaction works exactly? How many of these talismans do you have right now? We'll take them all."
"Daoist Anran, after placing an order, how exactly does the transaction take place?"
"100,000 for one? That's too expensive. Can you lower the price? It's just a talisman."
Wang An didn't even bother to respond to these people. He was putting these talismans up for sale specifically to sell to large, well-funded factions to support his construction of the Mine Pit.
Naturally, he wouldn't lower the price just because others couldn't afford it. The fact that he could draw such talismans and others could buy them with money was already a benefit.
The crowd sending private messages to Wang An grew larger and larger, so he simply edited and pinned an informational post under the thread about how to trade.
"If you wish to trade, please place your order directly in the store set up earlier. Each person is limited to one purchase per day. Payment first, shipping later. The number of Yun Shen Talismans I can draw each day is limited, so it's first come, first served."
Before long, the private messages gradually decreased, while the number of orders on the platform gradually increased.
In a while, 20 people had placed orders and paid. Wang An received 2 million directly into his account. As for remitting money to an official platform for supervision, it was completely unnecessary. Anyone who could transfer 100,000 in a short time clearly didn't lack that kind of money.
Wang An himself didn't use an official supervision account, but simply filled in his own bank account.
Whether others bought it or not was up to them; there were plenty of people waiting to place orders.
Seeing this money continuously entering his account, Wang An estimated that he would soon not lack the funds to build the Mine Pit Hotel.
Moreover, considering that he would bring his relatives over later and he might stay there long-term to cultivate, since funds were sufficient, he could also start setting up various supporting facilities like drinking water, electricity, and vegetables.
