210: Storage bag
Lin Xuanxiao looked at Lu Chen as if he had seen a demon, fearfully saying, "You are the Reincarnation of a Demon Venerable!! You are not a Mortal!! Your Cultivation Technique is all evil Cultivation!"
Lu Chen chuckled, "Oops, you found out, so you can only die!!"
Lin Xuanxiao roared, "No, you can't kill me! I am the personal Disciple of Cloud Talisman Sect's Grand Elder Yun Mingzi. Yun Mingzi is a Foundation Establishment Immortal Master renowned throughout the Immortal Cultivation Sects. If you kill me, Yun Mingzi will not let you go! The Cloud Talisman Sect will not let you go."
Lu Chen lowered his voice and said, "I even dared to kill Zhao Ting, do you think I would be afraid of a mere Cloud Talisman Sect?"
Lin Xuanxiao's face turned ashen, "You, you actually... So that's how it is. No wonder you have the Black Tortoise Armor. Little Master, I was wrong before. Can you not kill me? I can do anything for you!!"
Lu Chen calmly said, "Didn't you say that the rules of Heavenly Dao are the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, that this is Heavenly Dao! If I don't kill you, wouldn't I be Heaven-Defying! Go in peace, soon, I will make the entire Lin Family Village accompany you in death!"
No—!
Lin Xuanxiao let out a heart-wrenching wail, his voice filled with unwillingness.
His bloodshot eyes were wide open, and his hands futilely grasped at the Void Realm, as if trying to grasp the last shred of life.
However, the golden Dragon formed by the dragon fiend spear had already roared in with the momentum to shatter mountains and break peaks. The gilded spear tip precisely pierced three inches into his glabella.
With a muffled 'thud', accompanied by the crisp sound of a skull shattering.
The moment the spear tip penetrated, the violent spiritual power contained within it exploded like a volcanic eruption.
Lin Xuanxiao's wrinkled old face instantly twisted and deformed. First, a thumb-sized blood hole appeared in his glabella, and then his entire head burst open like a ripe watermelon.
Red and white matter splattered everywhere, but was repelled by an invisible barrier just as it was about to touch Lu Chen's robes.
As the headless corpse fell heavily, a brocade pouch embroidered with cloud patterns slipped from Lin Xuanxiao's waist.
Lu Chen grabbed it from a distance, and it landed steadily in his palm.
The cloth bag felt heavy in his hand, and the cloud patterns embroidered on its surface shimmered with a strange luster in the sunlight—this was actually a rare "Storage Pouch," worth as much as a High Grade Magic Treasure.
Lu Chen condensed a wisp of pure spiritual power on his fingertip and gently tapped the Seal at the mouth of the bag.
His Divine Sense entered the bag, and the internal space was ten feet square, neatly arranged with three stacks of Talismans glowing with spiritual light.
The top layer contained thirty-six Purple Lightning Talismans, the flickering electric light on the Talisman paper indicating their extraordinary quality;
The middle layer contained seventy-two Fire Crow Talismans, each sealing three lifelike flame spirits;
The bottom layer contained twelve precious Earth Evasion Talismans. These life-saving Talismans often sold for exorbitant prices on the black market.
Even more surprising was the Flowing Cloud Brush in the corner. This was Lin Xuanxiao's Natal Magical Artifact, which he had refined for over a hundred years!
Besides this, there were also various rare Materials piled up: three jars of cinnabar sealed in jade boxes, its color as vibrant as fresh blood; five bundles of brush bristles made from century-old spirit fox tails; and more than a dozen pieces of High Grade spirit jade. These were all essential for making high-level Talismans.
As Lu Chen's Divine Sense swept through the deepest part of the Storage Pouch, he unexpectedly discovered a zitan wood box.
The box was carved with complex Restrictions, which Lu Chen violently broke open. Inside was none other than the Cloud Talisman Sect's secret Cultivation Technique, the "Nine Heavens Cloud Talisman Art."
This was interesting. In the Heavenly Dao Workshop, Lu Chen primarily Cultivated the "Nine Heavens Dragon Vein Art" created for him by mechanical girl zero!
Was this a coincidence? Or was mechanical girl zero being lazy and not original, but rather drawing inspiration?
Lu Chen skimmed through the "Nine Heavens Cloud Talisman Art" at a glance.
Indeed, it had many similarities with the Nine Heavens Dragon Vein Art.
This saved Lu Chen a lot of time and cost in Cultivation. Lu Chen could directly Cultivate and learn this Talisman-making method!
Thank you, Lin Family Old Ancestor, for the gift! I didn't expect such a grand gift before leaving!
Lu Chen felt a little embarrassed. He should go to Lin Family Village to return the favor!
All the people of Lu Family Village stood stunned in place.
Before, everyone had only heard that Lu Chen was very powerful, but they didn't know exactly how powerful.
But now, they truly and deeply felt Lu Chen's strength.
Even an Immortal had been killed by Lu Chen.
"Master! You are too mighty!!" Lu Qingfeng, Iron Mountain Lu, Lu Xiaohu, and others all came over and looked at Lu Chen respectfully.
Before, they only called Lu Chen Little Master, but now they called him Master repeatedly, afraid that Lu Chen wouldn't acknowledge them as Disciples.
Lu Chen said indifferently, "Alright, go do your work. Don't worry, you will also reach this level in the future."
Lu Qingfeng, Lu Xiaohu, and others said in unison, "Us? We can also become Immortals?!"
Lu Chen laughed heartily, "Of course, in the future, the entire Lu Family Village, as long as they Cultivate, can become Immortals!"
Those elders who had originally harbored grievances about relocating their ancestral land now had their wrinkles smoothed out.
"Ancestral graves? Farmland? Compared to the children becoming Immortals, what are they worth?"
Thinking that their children could also become Immortals in the future, everyone beamed with joy... In the square in front of the Lin Family Village ancestral hall, twelve Eight Immortals tables were arranged in a 'pin' character shape, each table covered with brand new red silk cloth.
The tables were laden with delicacies from mountains and seas, and more than a dozen village women shuttled back and forth, constantly adding new dishes to the tables.
Lin Changyuan wore a brand new dark blue long robe. This usually dignified village chief was now beaming, occasionally looking up in the direction of the village entrance.
"Everyone, cheer up! When Old Ancestor returns triumphantly, I want to see the grandest scene!"
In the corner, Lin Han rubbed his hands and leaned forward, his voice extremely low: "Village, Village Chief, do you think you could put in a good word for me in front of Old Ancestor? I heard that the Cloud Talisman Sect is recruiting new Disciples this year..."
"You scoundrel!" Lin Changyuan suddenly flared up, slapping the offering table beside him, making the bowls and chopsticks clatter.
His calloused finger almost poked Lin Han's nose: "Do you think Immortal Cultivation Sects are like a wet market? There are rules to follow! It's already a huge favor that Old Ancestor is willing to help us once! If Old Ancestor hears your ignorant words, even I will suffer. Are you deliberately trying to kill everyone in the village?!"
Lin Han's face instantly turned pale, and he fell to his knees with a 'thud', his knees hitting the bluestone slab with a dull sound: "Village Chief, I was wrong! I was blinded by greed!" He said, while fiercely slapping himself twice, the crisp slaps drawing the attention of nearby villagers.
Seeing the young man's sincere attitude in admitting his mistake, Lin Changyuan's expression softened slightly.
He stroked his graying beard and leaned down to whisper in Lin Han's ear: "What's the rush? When Old Ancestor destroys Lu Family Village, their back mountain will be ours. I spent a lot of money to buy this information: Lu Chen, that little beast, suddenly had his Cultivation greatly increase all because there's a 'Dragon Transformation Pool' in the back mountain..."
"Dragon Transformation Pool? What is that?!" Lin Han suddenly looked up, his eyes bursting with greedy light.
As the strongest among the younger generation in the village, he had seen related records in ancient texts—that was a spiritual spring of heaven and earth that could cleanse marrow and refine bones!
Lin Changyuan narrowed his eyes smugly, wrinkles concealing his calculations: "The reason Lu Chen is so powerful is because a spiritual spring, called the Dragon Transformation Pool, was discovered in the back mountain. At that time, all the younger generation of our Lin Family Village can go to the Dragon Transformation Pool to Cultivate."
Lin Han suddenly understood: "No wonder the Village Chief didn't hesitate to use the Old Ancestor's one-time communication jade slip. So it wasn't just to eliminate Lu Family Village, but also for the Dragon Transformation Pool!"
Lin Changyuan laughed, "Of course, I wouldn't do a losing business!"
However, very quickly, Lin Changyuan felt a bit strange.
An hour had passed, why hadn't Old Ancestor returned yet? Dealing with those villagers from Lu Family Village shouldn't take this long, right?
Lin Han guessed, "Could it be that Old Ancestor has already left?"
Lin Changyuan nodded, "That's possible too. Someone, go to Lu Family Village and see what's happening."
"No need to trouble yourselves! I'll tell you!"
A voice echoed over Lin Family Village.
Lin Changyuan's face turned ashen, and he stammered, "Who, who!"
