Chapter 1234: Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman

When Shen Chongshan stared at the talismans laid out in front of him, he was greatly shocked. However, after he got over it, his expression started to fluctuate and he seemed to be struggling to make a decision.

Shang Xia seemed to have noticed his conflicting emotions and he eventually asked, “True Immortal Shen, if there is nothing else, I will have to enter seclusion for some time…”

Seeing as Shang Xia was telling him to leave, he snapped back to reality and exclaimed, “True Immortal Shang, please wait! I have another earnest request…”

“... Yes?” Shang Xia acted a little surprised, but he seemed to have seen through Shen Chongshan’s thoughts already.

Shen Chongshan still hesitated slightly and still struggled with himself as he muttered, “Actually, there’s something I shouldn’t go around telling random people…”

“Since it’s not convenient for you to say it, it’s better for you not to. Our relationship can be considered friendly at the moment but if I hear something I am not supposed to, we might not be able to maintain our amicable status…” Shang Xia interrupted Shen Chongshan before he could finish.

Shen Chongshan looked constipated, and he mumbled a little awkwardly, “True Immortal Shang, thank you for the reminder. I might indeed cross the line, but… I hope you can help me once more to craft another high-level talisman…”

“Oh? Is it just a high-level talisman?” Shang Xia raised an eyebrow before gesturing for Shen Chongshan to calm down and savor more tea. “Please.”

Sipping on his tea, Shen Chongshan sighed and asked, “True Immortal Shang, have you heard of the Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman?”

Seeing the smile on Shang Xia’s face, which didn’t seem like a smile, Shen Chongshan coughed softly. “Right, right… You’re not from the Essence Xing World and you might not know what the Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman is…”

“Is it a rank six talisman?” Shang Xia smiled in response.

Shen Chongshan nodded solemnly and explained, “It is. It is also one of the most powerful rank six talismans out there…”

Shang Xia was a little more curious, but he frowned slightly. “But, the crafting…”

Shen Chongshan stopped Shang Xia before he could go on. He seemed to have made up his mind and he sighed decisively, “I can pass on the method to craft the talisman to you, but…”

He didn’t need to say more as Shang Xia understood what he needed to do. He simply continued in Shen Chongshan’s stead, “I can swear an oath to never teach it to anyone else, as per the rules in our line of work.”

“That would be for the best! However, True Immortal Shang, this talisman concerns the inheritance of my sect and I will be taking a massive risk to reveal the crafting method to you…” Shen Chongshan heaved a sigh of relief at his promise, but he also had to explain his difficulties.

Shang Xia nodded and chuckled in response, “True Immortal Shen, rest assured that there should be no problems. It’s just that… As a top-tier rank six talisman, and a new one at that, I would need some time to study it before I can attempt to craft one. Are you in a rush to receive them?”

“No, no… True Immortal Shang, as long as you can complete them by the end of the year, that would be fine.” Shen Chongshan laughed along with Shang Xia.

With the information he learned from Shen Chongshan, the Essence Xing World and the Spirit Luxuriant World seemed to be experiencing the same seasons at the same time, and it seemed as though their calendars were pretty close to each other.

“So… You will need them in 3 months? I will try my best…” Shang Xia spoke after thinking about it for a moment.

Even for an amazing Talisman Grandmaster like himself, crafting a new top-tier rank six talisman was extremely challenging.

Hearing how Shang Xia mentioned it was going to be difficult, but still accepting the commission, Shen Chongshan revealed a look of joy. He opened a sealed spiritual case with 10 sheets of rank six talisman paper and explained, “Please use these talisman paper to craft them. According to the rules, since this is a new talisman, it’s 5 talisman paper for a talisman, but since the Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman is a top-tier rank six talisman… I will be satisfied if you successfully craft a single one!”

“Hehe…” Shang Xia looked at Shen Chongshan’s happy expression and muttered, “True Immortal Shen, from the looks of it, you seem to need a lot of talismans!”

“This…” Shen Chongshan’s smile froze and he mumbled under his voice.

Shang Xia didn’t bother waiting for him to speak. “If I really manage to craft 2 of them with these talisman papers, I’ll give them both to you. Don’t worry about it.”

Shen Chongshan cupped his fists in response. “True Immortal Shang, you’re an honorable man!”

Shen Chongshan handed the jade slip that contained the method to craft the Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman to Shang Xia, and Shang Xia carefully read through it before returning it to him.

After Shen Chongshan left, Shang Xia immediately looked for Hai Yuanyuan. “Is there any news from our world?”

Shaking her head, Hai Yuanyuan muttered, “They only mentioned how Patriarch Kou and True Immortal Huang went to meet with the experts of the Spirit Thistle World. There hasn’t been any news other than that…”

Shang Xia nodded in contemplation.

Looking at him, Hai Yuanyuan asked curiously, “What are you thinking about?”

Glancing at Hai Yuanyuan from the corner of his eye, he chuckled to himself when he saw the crafty smile on her face. She seemed different from the cute and naive young girl who pestered him to buy snacks in the past, but not really. “Something interesting definitely happened in the Essence Xing World. It’s a shame we don’t know too much about them…”

Hai Yuanyuan’s eyes widened in shock as she knew what type of person Shang Xia was. “Don’t tell me you’re going to sneak out of here and try to infiltrate the Essence Xing World…”

Shang Xia didn’t think that his plan would be exposed by her the moment the very second he mentioned anything to do with the Essence Xing World and he glanced at her in shock.

Hai Yuanyuan quickly followed up, “You definitely can’t go now! The only reason everyone here didn’t panic was because we hid the news of you sneaking back to our world. Otherwise, even with True Immortal Huang here, the situation would definitely become chaotic. Also… It really is a little dangerous if you aren’t here…”

Shang Xia roared with laughter and ruffled Hai Yuanyuan’s hair before taking his leave. He left Hai Yuanyuan pouting and fuming as her hair was completely messed up.

“Looks like even if I need to leave, I need to ensure that the Illusion Talisman works perfectly so that no one will dare to threaten the safety of the Star Beast Nest…” Shang Xia thought back to the third tier True Immortals of the Essence Ming World he killed and the talisman that allowed one of them to possess the strength of a fourth tier True Immortal.

If he wanted to improve the Illusion Talisman, he would probably have to gain inspiration from the talisman they used.

It was a shame the talisman crumbled, and he could only remember what he saw right before it turned to dust. If he still had the remnant talisman, he might be able to fully restore it and create a new rank six talisman! It would definitely be an extremely valuable rank six talisman if it allowed a third tier True Immortal to possess the strength of a fourth tier True Immortal, albeit for a short while.

Shang Xia planned to focus on the Illusion Talisman after he returned to the second Star Beast Nest after saving Kou Chongxue, but he didn’t expect Shen Chongshan to approach him with a sudden request. Because of Shen Chongshan’s request, he was able to earn a good number of rank six talisman papers in just 2 months of crafting Formation Talismans.

Now that he received another request for the Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman, he had to push the development of the Illusion Talisman back even more.

Speaking of how he killed the third tier True Immortals of the Essence Ming World back then, there was also the talisman that could seal the artifact spirits…

Those talismans had been preserved by Kou Chongxue while retrieving the weapons and Shang Xia could study and restore them in the future.

Other than the talismans, there were also the treasures they had on them. Well… Kou Chongxue took them all away back then but they should be of considerable wealth. Shang Xia didn’t think too much back then and let Kou Chongxue do whatever he wanted, but after thinking about it, he was probably not going to see a single essence crystal of whatever they had…
