Chapter 99: Magic Talisman Competition

After returning to the Falling Moon Tower, Nan Wang felt a little out of sorts.

Ever since he came to the Demon Sect, all he heard were bad rumors about the Qingyun Sect.

There are divine weapons of flesh and blood, and they also monopolize the secrets of heaven... It's as if the Qingyun Sect is a sect that has done all kinds of evil and is unforgivable.

Fortunately, today's communication with Third Senior Brother gave Nan Wang some new ideas about these rumors.

Just like the righteous sects of immortals resist the people of the Demon Sect, the Demon Sect naturally resists those who practice cultivation.

It is most likely unnecessary to try to determine who is right and who is wrong, because the greater possibility is that both sides are right.

The resources in the world of immortal cultivation are constant. If one side takes more, the other side will naturally have less.

All rumors, bad reputations, or good reputations, the ultimate goal is to occupy resources.

Divine tools or divine secrets, in the final analysis, they are all resources.

Qingyun Sect has a large number of disciples, numerous treasures, and so many talented and beautiful monks. It is normal for it to be envied by the Demon Cult.

Not to mention the Demonic Sect, even among the upright immortal sects, there are probably many who are jealous.

As a true disciple who cares about Qingyun Sect, Nanwang is not prepared to completely believe the words of these evil cultivators, but he will not prejudge that Qingyun Sect is completely correct.

He who listens to both sides will be able to make a clear judgment on whether the rumors are true or false and what the truth is.

However, no matter whether Qingyun Sect had done anything wrong or not, no matter what the truth was, what was most important to him were his fellow disciples in Qingyun Sect...

"Brother Nan! I heard something happened in Futang. Are you okay?"

Zhong Wangsheng rushed to the Falling Moon Tower, panting and shouting.

Nan Wang was sitting on the second floor in a daze. Seeing this, he stuck his head out and waved towards the first floor.

Zhong Wangsheng went upstairs with great steps, and only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Nan Wang was safe and sound.

Nan Wang poured him a cup of tea and said, "You are well-informed. I am fine. Someone saved me... By the way, why weren't you in the Fu Hall today? I was waiting for you at the door."

When he was grilling skewers at the door, he was thinking of saving some for Zhong Wangsheng when he came. Unexpectedly, Zhong Wangsheng had skipped school like him.

Before Zhong Wangsheng could answer, An Nuo frowned, noticing something was wrong: "Didn't you guys go to Futang today? What did you do there?"

"No, no..." Zhong Wangsheng immediately explained: "Today, the talisman cultivators from the Ghost Corpse Cult came to visit the Heavenly Demon Cult to discuss the Magic Talisman Competition. Many disciples went to watch the excitement, and I followed them."

Nan Wang immediately continued his words: "Oh, that's what I said. I was concentrating on making the talisman, but when I looked up, I found that everyone was gone. I thought school was over..."

The two smiled at each other; their cooperation was seamless.

Annuo looked at this and that, but was finally fooled: "The Ghost Corpse Cult, is it the same sect as Wu Ge?"

Zhong Wangsheng said: "Yes, the leader Wu Ge is here today. The Ghost Corpse Cult wants to co-host the Magic Talisman Competition with the Heavenly Demon Cult this time, so Wu Ge brought..."

"etc!"

Nanwang suddenly interrupted Zhong Wangsheng because he found a problem:

"Brother Zhong, are you speaking normally?"

From the beginning till now, Zhong Wangsheng spoke without any stuttering and never took out the slate.

Zhong Wangsheng smiled and said, "I have to thank Brother Nan for the elixir. It is truly magical. After taking it, I was able to speak normally soon."

Nan Wang said happily: "I told you a long time ago that the elixir is useful, but you just didn't believe it. Look, if you had used it earlier..."

Before he finished speaking, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

Wait, what kind of elixir is effective? What does this have to do with the elixir?

Zhong Wangsheng is Tong Yan. Tong Yan is neither blind nor dumb. He is just pretending.

Thinking of this, the smile on Nan Wang’s face immediately faded.

Although he did have evil intentions after discovering Zhong Wangsheng's true identity, before that, he was very sincere to Zhong Wangsheng.

He was the one who paid for the room in the inn, and he did not keep any of the extremely precious Nine Revolutions Resurrection Pill for himself.

Thinking about it now, it’s really ridiculous.

If he had known that Zhong Wangsheng was Tong Yan, he would never have taken out this Nine Revolutions Resurrection Pill.

Nan Wang said calmly: "Since everything has returned to normal, why are you still blindfolded?"

Zhong Wangsheng said: "My eye disease is congenitally defective, no matter how good the elixir is, it can't be cured. Now that I can speak, I am already very satisfied. Brother Nan, I will never forget your kindness."

Nan Wang said with a hint of meaning: "The journey to immortality is so hard that you have to endure so much hardship."

Isn't it hard for a normal person to play a blind person?

He could have recovered to normal by taking the elixir, but he insisted on retaining his blindness. What was Zhong Wangsheng trying to do?

The only possibility Nan Wang could think of was that Zhong Wangsheng was worried that his identity as the leader would be exposed after he recovered, so he had to continue playing this drama.

However, Zhong Wangsheng’s vest is only effective against him. If it is to be exposed, it has to be in front of him. Even if it is exposed... so what?

If he had not read the original novel and did not know that Tong Yan would be the future ruler of the world, he might even be happy that the good brother he met unexpectedly was the leader of the Demonic Cult.

At the moment, they are all in the territory of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Zhong Wangsheng is the emperor who is on a secret visit. It doesn't matter to him whether his identity is exposed or not. In comparison, Nan Wang's situation is much worse. If Nan Wang reveals that he is from the Qingyun Sect, he will surely be attacked by others.

Zhong Wangsheng said: "It is worth all the hard work along the way to meet Brother Nan."

Nan Wang laughed slightly mockingly.

Zhong Wangsheng is full of lies and is too immersed in the role, while he has ulterior motives and is waiting for an opportunity to take someone's life. Neither of them can be considered a good person, and when the day comes when swords are drawn, no one owes anyone anything.

An Nuo on the side said unhappily, "What did Wu Ge bring? Why did you stop talking halfway?"

Zhong Wangsheng reacted and quickly continued the topic: "Sorry, I was distracted. This is what happened. Master Wu Ge came to the Tianmo Sect this time and brought the method of refining permanent talisman paper..."

"What!!!"

Nanwang suddenly jumped up from his chair:

"How to make permanent talisman paper?!"

Zhong Wangsheng said: "Brother Nan, calm down for a moment, I haven't finished speaking yet..."

Nan Wang's eyes sparkled, his face flushed, and he was extremely emotional: "Who can remain calm? Which talisman practitioner can remain calm!"

That is a permanent talisman!

They are the permanent talismans stuck on his Guantian Sword!

If he could use permanent talisman paper, he couldn't imagine how powerful his talisman would be.

Zhong Wangsheng finished the rest of his words helplessly: "...as a reward for the winner of the competition."

Nan Wang was stunned: "Ah?"

Zhong Wangsheng said: "The Ghost Corpse Cult wants to jointly hold a magic talisman competition with the Heavenly Demon Cult. Leader Wu Ge is willing to offer the method of making permanent talisman paper as a reward for the winner."

"Ah, you have to compete to get it. Sigh... it's not my destiny after all."

Nan Wang sighed quietly, his face full of reluctance.

Zhong Wangsheng raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Brother Nan's skill in making talismans is superb. If he participates in the magic talisman competition, winning the championship will be a piece of cake."

"You think too highly of me." Nan Wang laughed. "I have only learned to make talismans for a short time. How can I compare to those masters who have been immersed in this art for hundreds of years? The temptation of permanent talisman paper is so great. There must be a constant stream of people signing up. Even those hermit talisman practitioners who usually live in seclusion will be restless."

Zhong Wangsheng smiled: "Brother Nan, you worry too much. This time, the magic talisman competition is only held among the magic sect, and it also restricts the age and cultivation of the participants. Those hermits are likely not qualified."

"Ah? There is such a good thing?"

Nanwang's eyes suddenly lit up again:

"I don't think I'll ever win the championship!"

Zhong Wangsheng felt a pain in his heart and said in a muffled voice: "Brother Nan is extremely talented. As long as he participates in the competition, he will definitely win the championship."

Nan Wang was not fooled by Zhong Wangsheng's exaggerated evaluation at all, and said very objectively: "You flatter me too much. How can I be called a brilliant talent? I just have a little talent in making talismans. I am completely clueless in other aspects. Even my cultivation level is far behind that of people of the same age."

"Brother Nan...don't underestimate yourself."

Zhong Wangsheng gritted his teeth and said.

In his mind, Nanwang should be a brilliant and unique person.

The reason why it turned out like this is... Ye Cuo's fault!

Nanwang said: "So, have you found out what the Last Heaven Demon Cult and the Ghost Corpse Cult have agreed on for the competition? It's okay if you haven't found out, I'll go ask myself."

In fact, Nanwang knew that Zhong Wangsheng must know the answer to this question very well. After all, the reason why Zhong Wangsheng was not in Futang today was because he went to meet Wu Ge.

Nanwang said this specifically just to cooperate with Zhong Wangsheng's performance.

Zhong Wangsheng paused for a moment and said slowly: "I found out that he is... Qi Refining... below the fifth level."

In fact, they said that the ideal level of cultivation was below the fifth level of foundation building.

But it’s not a big problem. For Nanwang, he can communicate with Wuge again.

When Wu Ge mentioned the permanent talisman paper, he had already wanted to pay out of his own pocket to buy Wu Ge's production method and give it to Nan Wang. Unfortunately, Wu Ge was unwilling to give in and insisted on handing over the production method to "someone who deserves it", so he had to hold a competition.

However, for Zhong Wangsheng, there is nothing in this world that Nanwang is not worthy of.

"The fifth level of Qi Refining, then I think I really have a chance of getting a rank or something..."

Nan thought to himself.

To Nanwang, the word "seizing the championship" is too far away.

He could imagine himself performing exceptionally well and winning a high rank, but winning the championship required the right time, the right place, and the right people.

As for Nanwang, he has nothing at all, let alone all three.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about Qi Wuqi, whom he just met today. Through this barbecue, they became friends. After exchanging a few words, Nan Wang realized that the other party’s cultivation level was similar to his own.

However, when faced with a similar crisis, he could only temporarily put out the charcoal fire to reduce the damage, while Qi Wuqi was able to save him and blow up so many of his colleagues at the same time. The gap between the two sides... is obvious.

The Heavenly Demon Sect alone was full of hidden talents. Facing the entire Demon Sect's grand competition, he couldn't even imagine how many talented people there would be.
