Chapter 331 "Dividing the Spoils"
Yu Zhiyi didn't want the antiques and paintings, only keeping the 500-year-old ginseng and the jade.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "The value of these things has already exceeded the debt of saving your lives. How about this, you come over in a couple of days, and I will make a defensive jade pendant for each of your family members. It can save your lives in critical moments."
The Song father and son were overjoyed.
Having witnessed Yu Zhiyi's abilities firsthand, they naturally no longer felt that she was making baseless accusations.
After receiving the assurance, they left with profuse thanks.
After the father and son left, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became very subtle.
Jiang Yuwei looked at Yu Zhiyi, hesitated several times before finally saying nothing, only saying, "It's getting late, go back and get some rest."
After Yu Zhiyi and her family left, Jiang Yuwei let out a long sigh.
Lin Jingxuan looked at her with some surprise: "Didn't my husband always want to build a good relationship with the Prefect's Mansion? Now that the Prefect's Mansion and Jin'er are on good terms, you should be happy. Why are you so gloomy?"
Jiang Yuwei frowned: "You don't understand."
He wanted to make arrangements with the prefectural governor's office, but he actually wanted the eldest branch of the family to do so.
His envisioned scene was one where he and Prefect Song were like brothers, or even one where Prefect Song treated him with utmost respect.
Instead of just watching Prefect Song fawn over the younger generation of the second branch of the family.
His position as leader of the alliance was never very secure to begin with; it took him a lot of effort to get the old leader to pass the position to him.
But he knew that his talent and martial arts skills were no match for his second brother, and that countless people in the martial arts world were secretly waiting for him to step down so that his second brother could take the position.
If Jiang Yuchuan really gains the support of Prefect Song, perhaps...
Lin Jingxuan remained silent for a moment before saying, "I think my husband is overthinking it. My second brother probably has no intention of usurping the throne. Besides, no matter who is on good terms with Prefect Song, in the end, it is our martial arts alliance that benefits, isn't it?"
Jiang Yuwei frowned.
After a long silence, he repeated, "You don't understand."
Lin Jingxuan shook her head.
She felt that her husband had gone mad.
If the second brother really wanted this position, it wouldn't have fallen into his lap back then.
The second brother didn't want it back then, so why would he snatch it now?
But she didn't say it aloud.
Having been married for so many years, she knew all too well the knots in her husband's heart.
Although he knew in his heart that he was not as good as his second brother Jiang Yuchuan, he also understood that it was precisely because Jiang Yuchuan did not want to be the leader of the martial arts alliance that he was able to take the position.
But no one can mention these things.
She could only sigh inwardly, hoping that her husband wouldn't make a mistake in a moment of confusion.
After all, that little niece doesn't seem like someone to be trifled with.
The formidable Yu Zhiyi was currently fiddling with the items inside the spatial talisman.
She handed over the gold, silver, and other worldly items in the spatial palace to Jiang Yuwei, because those things were useless to her.
But the others are all good things.
Not to mention that those hidden weapons were made with special materials and techniques, capable of cutting through iron like mud and easily penetrating armor made of black iron.
Those two stones, for example, are treasures that ordinary people can only dream of.
Those are legendary spirit stones!
Spirit stones, as the name suggests, are stones that contain abundant spiritual energy.
This was the first time she had ever seen a spirit stone, both in her past and present lives.
Oh right, she had seen it once at her master's place, but her master didn't leave it for her.
Because she was too weak at that time, she simply couldn't protect him.
She originally thought that she would have to wait until she finished her worldly affairs and went to the Heavenly Mystery Sect to see this treasure that only existed in legends.
Unexpectedly, I received a pleasant surprise.
There were a total of twenty-eight talismans in that pile, including eight lightning control talismans, four fire control talismans, ten cleansing talismans, and six earth escape talismans.
Although they are all low-level talismans, they are rare and valuable items for ordinary people.
The Thunder Control Talisman and Fire Control Talisman are both offensive talismans. Throwing one out in a critical moment is enough to blast an unprepared person into dust.
Of course, even if you are prepared, it's useless. How can ordinary people avoid the methods of the Xuanmen people?
Generally speaking, once an attacker identifies a target, the talisman will automatically lock onto it.
Unless the opponent reacts quickly enough to deflect the force of the talisman before it hits, death is certain.
As the name suggests, a cleaning talisman is a talisman with an automatic cleaning function. Generally, it is used by people in the Xuanmen (Taoist sect) to clean themselves. With this, even in places with extremely little water, people in the Xuanmen will not smell bad.
The Earth Shield Talisman is a defensive talisman. If you encounter a fatal crisis, throwing out the talisman will immediately create an earthen wall in front of you.
Although it's called an earthen wall, the earthen walls of the Xuanmen sect are not so easy to breach.
Users can use the earthen walls to block enemy attacks and then counterattack, or use them to escape.
It can even be used to create a small, enclosed space, where enemies can cry and be nursed inside.
In this way, they can achieve the goal of turning the tables.
Although Yu Zhiyi had heard of these talismans, she did not know how to draw them.
There was no other way; the low-level talisman encyclopedia that her senior brother had given her only contained seven types of talismans: defensive talisman, lightning talisman, spatial talisman, winter warmth and summer coolness talisman, protective talisman, evil-repelling talisman, and healing talisman.
However, healing talismans have also given rise to talismans that specifically target a particular part of the body, such as the Heart Healing Talisman and the Liver Healing Talisman.
She naturally wouldn't know any talismans that weren't recorded.
However...
She took a closer look at the talismans and suddenly realized that they didn't seem too difficult to draw.
I'll try it when I get back.
Jiang Liuyun had been called back and was now looking curiously at the things on the table.
Yu Zhiyi explained the functions of the other talismans besides the Thunder Control Talisman.
The reason she didn't mention the Thunder Control Talisman was because the Thunder Talisman she drew herself was more powerful than the Thunder Control Talisman, and she didn't plan to give the Thunder Control Talisman to her family.
Each person receives one Fire Control Talisman.
The mother, Xiao Qingxuan, received four cleansing talismans.
The remaining six Cleansing Talismans and six Earth Shield Talismans were distributed by his biological father, Jiang Yuchuan.
The cleansing charm may seem useless, but who doesn't need to go out sometimes?
When it's inconvenient to wash up during a long journey, a cleansing talisman can be very helpful.
No woman could resist such a powerful weapon.
As for the Earth Shield Talisman, although Yu Zhiyi didn't know how to draw it before, its main function is defense.
Given that they already possess defensive magical artifacts, the Earth Shield Talisman is truly a useless item for the Jiang family.
Its slightly less useless function is probably for setting up a counterattack.
After all, earthen walls can not only be used to defend against attacks, but if used properly, they can also be used to trap people.
None of the four had any objections to this distribution.
Yu Zhiyi then divided the hidden weapons equally among the four people.
Except for one of them.
She had noticed it as early as when everything was emptied out; one of the hidden weapons was different from the others.
It contains terrifying energy.
My master once said that some families or sects with a long tradition would seal their most powerful attack into a weapon and then give it to their younger generation for self-defense.
The terrifying energy within the hidden weapon is even more terrifying than a full-force attack from a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator.
This is also why Yu Zhiyi felt terrified in the back mountain.
