Chapter 20: Three Yang Talisman

"Close your eyes. I'm going to cast a spell."

Zhou Ye held a talisman in his hand and made hand gestures to prepare for casting a spell.

Gao Xian was very curious when he saw Zhou Ye's serious look. Zhou Ye must be a late stage Qi training cultivator, and he was also proficient in magic talismans. Why did he have to go through so much trouble to cast magic talismans? He couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zhou, is this the Shaoyang Talisman?"

"You wish! You want to use the Shaoyang Talisman with ten low-grade spirit stones!"

Zhou Ye was very disdainful: "One Yang, Three Yang, Six Yang, Nine Yang, Nine Yang turns into Shao Yang. This is a Three Yang Talisman. If you want to use Shao Yang Talisman, you can get ten middle-grade spirit stones."

"ah?"

Gao Xian was surprised, "Is the Sanyang Talisman so expensive?"

"You want to buy the Three Yang Talisman for five low-grade spirit stones. I'll cast the spell myself, and that's the price."

Zhou Ye said impatiently: "Using the Three Yang Talisman also requires Yang energy to stimulate, which is extremely mentally exhausting. If it weren't for Xu Mingyuan's sake, you would still want me to help you with your ten low-grade spirit stones. Dream on!"

Gao Xian was embarrassed and speechless. The old man made money from him and had a bad temper, but he was pointing at the old man to work, so how could he dare to say anything?

"Close your eyes."

Zhou Ye wiped Gao Xian's face with his skinny hand, and while Gao Xian closed his eyes, he placed the Three Yang Talisman in his hand on Gao Xian's forehead.

The Three Yang Talisman instantly turned into a ball of fire, and the room suddenly lit up.

Even with his eyes closed, Gao Xian could clearly feel the flame. Then, his eyebrows felt hot.

It was like a red-hot iron branding the skin, the burning pain went deep into the center of the eyebrows, and the sudden severe pain made Gao Xian scream.

Fortunately, the severe pain soon passed. When Gao Xian opened his eyes, he saw that the Three Yang Talisman had turned into pieces of flying ashes and scattered everywhere.

Gao Xian hurriedly touched his forehead and found it was smooth and there was nothing unusual about it, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Look at how timid you are. I have been practicing magic talismans for sixty years. How could I make a mistake?"

Zhou Ye sat on the chair with a dignified look, and spoke in an advanced tone, acting like a real senior.

He did look very old, his face was full of wrinkles, his skin was unhealthily pale, his eyes were dark, and he looked extremely tired.

Gao Xian could only smile and say, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

He asked again with some concern: "Mr. Zhou, has the evil spirit been removed?"

"That's about right. Although the Three Yang Talisman is very effective, it will always leave some residual evil energy. You just need to be careful."

Zhou Ye waved his hand, "I'm tired, you go first, I won't see you off."

"Thank you for your hard work, sir."

Gao Xian didn't want to leave, as he felt uneasy until the evil spirit was completely eliminated.

He moved closer to the chair next to Zhou Ye and sat down. "Mr. Zhou, how can we completely get rid of the evil spirit?"

"The evil energy comes from the outside and connects with your spirit. After all, the magic talisman cannot penetrate into the soul. You should find some pure yang magic to practice. When you have enough yang energy, you will naturally be able to dissolve the remaining evil energy."

Zhou Ye had a bad temper, but seeing Gao Xian's humble and respectful attitude, he still gave him some advice.

"Can't we use the Three Yang Talisman again?"

"The talisman is very powerful. If you use it too much, it will hurt you."

Zhou Ye said with a nonchalant look on his face: "You are only in your twenties, your Yang energy is strong, and the remaining evil energy is nothing. Others wander around Tengshe Mountain all year round without being afraid of evil spirits, so why should you be afraid of anything?"

Zhou Ye said it lightly, but Gao Xian did not dare to underestimate him.

In his previous life, he had always lived a very cautious life. He kept wolfberries in his thermos all year round, had a physical examination every year, and thought twice before drinking a glass of iced Coke for fear of raising his blood sugar.

Now there is an evil spirit haunting him, but the old man said it was okay, because the evil spirit was not in him. His life was his own, so he dared not be careless.

"Sir, I, I'm scared."

Gao Xian did not hide his timidity, he felt that this was more sincere.

He said cautiously, "I don't know where to learn Pure Yang magic. I wonder if you will teach me the Three Yang Talisman?"

"You still want to learn how to make talismans!"

Zhou Ye laughed loudly, "Among the hundred arts of cultivation, alchemy, weapons, talismans and arrays are the most important. These four skills are also the most complicated. You know alchemy enough to make a fortune. It is not a wise choice to distract yourself from making talismans."

"I mainly want to get rid of the evil spirits."

Gao Xian explained: "I don't mean anything else. Please don't misunderstand me, sir."

He emphasized again: "I can pay the tuition."

Zhou Ye wanted to refuse outright. It was difficult for this kid to pay ten spirit stones, so how much money could he have?

On second thought, Gao Xian is an alchemist after all, and can make a lot of money. This big fat sheep came to my door on its own initiative, and I would be sorry if I didn't kill him.

Zhou Ye pondered for a moment and said, "The Shaoyang Talisman is extremely complicated. It takes at least 10 to 20 years to master it. You just want to get rid of the evil spirit, so there is no need to learn the Shaoyang Talisman.

"I have a quick method of True Yang. As long as you practice it well, it will be enough to dispel all evil spirits."

"That's great, please teach me, sir."

Gao Xian stood up and bowed respectfully, with an attitude of sincerely seeking advice.

Zhou Ye smiled and said, "You don't have to be so polite, just pay the money.

"Oh, I wonder how many spirit stones it will take?" Gao Xian sighed inwardly. All the cultivators were so greedy for money, it was useless to use favors or build relationships.

"Fifty low-grade spirit stones."

"ah?"

When Gao Xian heard the price, his heart sank. This old man is even more evil than Boss Zhu.

He asked tentatively: "Senior, can you give me a discount? I really don't have that many spirit stones."

“The Dharma is not easily passed on.”

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Zhou Ye was a little unhappy. "My unique secret technique only costs fifty low-grade spirit stones. Is that expensive? " "It costs fifty spirit stones for me to make a six-yang talisman!"

"If it weren't for your teacher, I wouldn't have taught you the secret method!"

Gao Xian felt that the old man was bragging. A talisman cost fifty spirit stones, which was several times more expensive than the White Plum Needle in his hand. It was too outrageous.

But I can't expose the old man.

After being beaten by society for many years, Gao Xian understood one thing: if you cannot convince others, even if you gain the upper hand for a while, it will only intensify the conflict and will not solve any problems.

Seeing Gao Xian's embarrassment, Zhou Ye said kindly, "For your master's sake, I can let you pay in installments. First pay ten spirit stones, five per month, and you'll pay it back in a year."

Gao Xian wanted to laugh. Everyone was so skilled in collecting interest. They were really great!

Boss Zhu is already in huge debt, and if Old Zhou continues to owe more money, he won't be able to make a living.

Gao Xian even felt that Lao Zhoutou was deliberately trying to scare him and was creating demand where there was none.

But he didn't dare to gamble, after all, it was related to his own life.

Gao Xian looked at Old Zhou and found that he had dark circles under his eyes and looked unlucky with kidney deficiency and weak qi, which was quite similar to Old Wang.

An idea suddenly came to his mind.

"Senior, I think your Yang energy is a little insufficient."

Zhou Ye was displeased: "Nonsense, I made the talisman with Yang Qi and blood, and I am deficient in both Qi and blood. It's not strange that I have insufficient Yang Qi."

"Don't be angry, senior. I have some medicine here that can strengthen the mind and yang. It's very effective. You may try it."

Gao Xian took out a small box of Deer Horn Powder from his backpack and handed it to Zhou Ye respectfully with both hands.

Zhou Ye opened the medicine box, picked up a blue pill and sniffed it, then said gloomily, "I can't tell it's blue, isn't this Deer Horn Powder?!"

"Senior, I would never dare to lie to you. You will know if you try."

Gao Xian's face was full of sincerity, and he had great confidence in his own grandmaster-level Lujiaosan.

Even though Zhou Ye is in the late stage of Qi training, Deer Horn Powder will definitely be effective for his kidney deficiency and qi deficiency.

Zhou Ye was a little curious when he saw Gao Xian was so confident.

If it was someone he didn't know, he wouldn't dare to take the pills given by the other party. He had met Gao Xian several times at Xu Mingyuan's place and knew Gao Xian inside and out.

Even so, Zhou Ye still performed the identification technique.

There was a gleam in Zhou Ye's eyes. He could vaguely see the inner material through the outer layer of the pill. He could also smell the various subtle medicinal aromas inside the pill.

Judging from various characteristics, he was completely certain that the blue pill was antler powder and was not poisonous.

The purpose of identification is to strengthen the six senses and conduct in-depth analysis of items such as elixirs and magical instruments.

As for what results can be analyzed, it depends on the user's ability.

Zhou Ye was very confident that a minor cultivator like Gao Xian would not be able to deceive his identification skills.

He took a pill of Lujiaosan and said, "Okay, I'll try your Lujiaosan. Can this thing make flowers?"

Before he could finish his words, he felt a heat spreading from his body, first his kidneys became hot, then his whole body became hot.

This heat was yang but not dry, just like his internal organs were soaked in hot springs. His spirits were lifted, and he felt the long-lost feeling of energy.

Zhou Ye immediately realized the specialness of the Deer Horn Powder in his hand. He asked Gao Xian in surprise: "Did you make this?"

Gao Xian was very proud. Lujiaosan was a savior for middle-aged and elderly men. Zhou Ye would never leave it again after trying the little blue pill! On the surface, he lowered his eyes slightly, with a respectful and humble face, "My skills are crude, please give me more advice."
