Chapter 52 The ransom has been paid



Upon hearing Mingluo's words, Master Zhao was so enraged that he spat out another mouthful of blood. "You... utterly shameless!"

"Heh..." A hint of mockery flashed in Mingluo's beautiful eyes. "Master Zhao, instead of being a proper Taoist master, insists on being a charity boy. If I don't accept some gifts, wouldn't I be letting you down?"

After becoming an ordinary person, she became acutely aware of a fatal problem.

She was so poor, so poor, so poor...

In order to survive, she must strive to be a competent worker today!

Master Zhao's face flushed red, he gritted his teeth and roared in despair, "This is the only one, there are no others. You can release it if you want, or kill me if you don't."

"..."

Minglu looked at him thoughtfully, a strange look in her eyes.

Finally, she asked, "You...can't you draw?"

Master Zhao's breath hitched, and his bloodshot eyes stared fiercely at Ming Luo. "You know perfectly well what I'm asking. Ever since the 'Dragon Talisman Heavenly Book' was lost, no one on Longhu Mountain has been able to draw such a talisman."

His gaze seemingly casually swept over Mingluo's collarbone.

That day, the male fox took a liking to Mingluo and tried to ambush her, but was nearly killed by a magical artifact on Mingluo's body.

The male fox explained that Luo's spiritual power was so great that it could permeate the entire capital city.

There are actually two reasons why they can't draw talismans on Longhu Mountain: one is that they have lost the "Dragon Talisman Heavenly Book"; the other is that they no longer have enough spiritual power to draw talismans.

For them, Mingluo was undoubtedly a living spring of inspiration.

Unfortunately, this spiritual spring is difficult to deal with, and it's even impossible for them to use it.

Mingluo said calmly, "It's not impossible for you to draw such a talisman. I can teach you how to draw talismans."

"Are you lying to me?" Master Zhao retorted instinctively, a little angry.

They had tried for generations at Longhu Mountain but hadn't found a way to draw such spiritually rich talismans. He simply didn't believe that Mingluo, a young girl, could actually draw one.

unless……

The Dragon Talisman Heavenly Book was in her hands.

As Zhao Tianshi thought of this, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

Minglu smiled slightly. "Just because you can't do it doesn't mean I can't."

As she spoke, she gently tapped Zhao Tianshi's body a few times with her fingers. Zhao Tianshi felt a surge of heat throughout his body, as if his blood was boiling and his internal energy was so abundant that he felt like he was about to explode.

He asked incredulously and in horror, "What are you trying to do?"

“Naturally, the symbols are drawn by people.” Mingluo’s eyes flashed with cold light.

Drawing talismans with a person involves using one's own essence, blood, and vital energy to transform into spiritual power to draw the talismans.

This is a method used in the divine realm where, when one's divine power is exhausted and cannot be replenished in time, one burns one's life essence and lifespan to fuel a magical artifact in battle.

However, the ritual implement used at this time is a talisman.

Master Zhao is a vicious and cunning man who disregards human life; he deserves this retribution.

Although the three girls were under the fox's curse, Master Zhao could naturally find a way to break it if he wanted to.

He refused, simply because he felt those three girls weren't worth his time.

If he were an ordinary person, he would have no obligation or ability to do this, and naturally he would not have to do it.

But as a Taoist priest, he was the one who caused this incident, and he had an obligation to resolve it regardless of whether there was any reward or loss for doing so.

What is a Celestial Master?

A teacher who conforms to the natural way.

Zhao Tianshi's actions do not deserve the title of Tianshi.

Therefore, Mingluo did not hold back when dealing with him.

She slowly took out ten talisman papers and said calmly, "Master Zhao, start drawing talismans now. If you don't draw them, you may be at risk of exploding and dying. It's not a glorious thing for a dignified Xuanmen Celestial Master to die in a school."

"You..." Master Zhao's mind was in complete chaos, and his eyes were bloodshot.

He looked at himself; he wasn't actually swollen, but the surge of energy within him made him feel like he was about to explode.

He didn't have time to say anything more. He hurriedly took out the talisman paper, sat cross-legged on the ground, and started drawing one after another. As he drew, he felt as if the essence in his body had found an outlet, flowing from his pen onto the talisman paper, and he felt much more relaxed.

As he drew those talismans, they gradually took shape, becoming full of spiritual energy, imposing, and faintly carrying an eerie aura. Although they had not yet reached the level of the talisman he had given to Mingluo before, they were already the best he had ever drawn in his life.

A look of wild joy flashed in his eyes, as if he had found the secret to drawing talismans, and he gradually began to show signs of madness.

But as he drew the tenth talisman, his energy was clearly running low.

Mingluo tapped him again, and he immediately regained his energy.

After finishing the tenth talisman, he collapsed, too weak to even hold the pen, drenched in sweat, and his face was deathly pale.

He gradually understood what it was that supported him in drawing so many talismans.

He glared at Mingluo with resentment and said, "You used up my lifespan?"

"Hmm!" Mingluo replied casually.

With her hands moving non-stop, she carefully put away the talisman paper, satisfied. Master Zhao was indeed a descendant of Longhu Mountain; this talisman paper could probably fetch a sky-high price, and it saved her the trouble of altering the talisman.

Aren't you afraid of retribution?

"And you? Aren't you afraid?" Minglu's lips curled into a mocking smile. "It's one thing if you don't remove the curses on the two girls, but it's just a small matter. There's another girl whose curse will kill her if it's not removed. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
