Chapter 116 Tattoo Master
After chatting for a while, Li Yanmo remembered the tattoo artist.
"That exposed cough——that Xuan-level tattoo master is also one of yours?"
"That's not the case, but this was also planned by me. As one of the branches of weapon refiners, pattern masters also need to take into account some knowledge of formation masters, so the requirements for mental power are very high. When I was buying things this morning, I deliberately let the old man notice my mental power, making him think that I have a very good talent in mental power," Xie Guangen smiled.
Li Yanmo's eyes twitched.
That Xuan-level tattoo master was only at the middle stage of foundation building, while Xie Guangen was at the Nascent Soul stage. Of course, that Xuan-level tattoo master would feel that Xie Guangen's mental power was different from that of ordinary people and extraordinary.
"Uh... so you plan to take him as your master?" Li Yanmo thought hard, trying to predict Xie Guanggen, or the Dayu Dynasty's thinking.
"Ah? Why should I take a third-rate tattoo master as my teacher?" Xie Guangen scratched his head. "But I do plan to keep him company for now. The origin of his monster tattoo is a little strange."
"Monster pattern?"
"This... I wonder if you have heard of dragon patterns?" Xie Guangen asked after thinking for a while.
"I have seen it. General Mo has one."
Li Yanmo thought of the swimming dragon in Mo Zhanxian's palm. It was hard to imagine that the tattoo on the old man with flowery arms and the dragon pattern were the same thing.
"It's not a rumor that dragon patterns can transform into real dragons. In fact, as long as the totem tattoos drawn by the tattoo artist can be indistinguishable from the real thing, those tattoos can gain life and become real. Legend has it that there was a powerful man named Zhang who could draw a dragon with just one stroke of ink. Of course, not everyone has the ability of that powerful man. If you want to make the fake look real, you have to mix the real thing in, use the blood, bones, flesh, and souls of monsters to paint and tattoo, and refine spiritual treasures." Xie Guangen shook the teacup lightly, a light flashing in his eyes.
"So some monsters, in order to escape the catastrophe, will deliberately allow themselves to be killed by the tattoo master, tricking the tattoo master into painting their life's blood and energy on other people's bodies."
"In the beginning, they will honestly provide assistance, allowing those users to relax their vigilance and rely on their power. Gradually, they will affect the users' minds, making them obsessed with their tattoos, wanting to fill them in and make them more perfect, until they are indistinguishable from the real thing."
"However, only a top-grade tattoo artist can perfect the tattoo to the point where it is indistinguishable from the real thing, so most monsters will choose to occupy the user's body."
Li Yanmo recalled the information provided by the crowd at the Tiexin Chamber of Commerce about the monster tattoo on the old man with flowery arms, and suddenly felt a chill, "So, what about the tattoo artist?"
"The refining method used by that tattoo artist is too crude and barbaric. I don't even understand why he could succeed in refining it," Xie Guangen sighed.
Li Yanmo took a sip of tea and did not comment.
There is no doubt that the equipment refining level of the Dayu Dynasty is absolutely at the ceiling level, otherwise the people in the Ministry of Industry would not be thinking about how to change the ceiling into a floor all day long.
After complaining about the tattoo artist skills of the old man with tattooed arms for a while, Xie Guangen asked about Li Yanmo's whereabouts with great interest.
"Come to think of it, you are planning to take the Iron Heart Chamber of Commerce's flying ship to Jingzhou, right?"
Li Yanmo immediately became alert, "Is this going to conflict with your plan?"
"This... half and half—"
Xie Guangen pinched his fingers, and the subtle distance made Li Yanmo more and more uneasy.
"During the Qingshan Ceremony, the Tiexin Chamber of Commerce paid a lot of money to buy spiritual fruits, and they have been having trouble making ends meet recently. They originally wanted to sell the spiritual fruits to other aristocratic families at a high price, but they didn't expect that everyone could eat as much as they wanted during the Ganzhou Competition. As a result, all their spiritual fruits are stuck in the warehouse and can't be moved out. Recently, the Lei and Jiang families have been doing something fishy, so the Tiexin Chamber of Commerce plans to secretly sell the spiritual fruits to other places. Jingzhou is very wealthy, and there are many aristocratic families willing to buy them at high prices. If they can make this deal, the Tiexin Chamber of Commerce will be able to secure its position in Ganzhou."
Li Yanmo heard something strange in Xie Guangen's words, "Tie Xin Chamber of Commerce is the largest merchant group in Ganzhou. I heard that they are very capable. There is no reason for them to become unstable because of the problem of capital turnover."
Xie Guangen explained, "Generally speaking, it is true, but... Tianxu Tower recently traded a heaven-level magic weapon and several earth-level magic weapons. Many people also speculated that Miao Qianqian's Eight Desolate inheritance came from Tianxu Tower. The super sects have not made any unusual moves for the time being, but some first-rate sects have already started to take action. At present, they seem to be planning to secretly contact Tianxu Tower in the form of a chamber of commerce."
After Xie Guangen said this, Li Yanmo understood.
The local snake Tiexin Chamber of Commerce cannot suppress the powerful dragon from outside. The poor capital turnover that was not a problem in the past became fatal at this critical juncture.
"From the tone of your voice, will the Tiexin Chamber of Commerce's business be ruined?"
"The Lei family and the Jiang family have great ambitions to begin with, and with the example of the Miao family right before their eyes, it would be strange if they were not tempted. They were eager to form an alliance right after the Ganzhou competition. On the contrary, the Xie family is more law-abiding, so I opened an alias in the Xie family," Xie Guangen also stated one of the reasons for opening the alias of Xie Tiandi.
Li Yanmo understood the whole story and also understood what Xie Guangen meant. His expression suddenly became strange. "You want me to help Tiexin Chamber of Commerce when they are transporting spiritual fruits?"
"Exactly."
"This... It's not that I don't want to find a way, but I'm only at the middle stage of foundation building at best," Li Yanmo smiled awkwardly, "If it involves those first-rate sects, I'm afraid it won't be enough."
"Master Li, look at what you said. Even those super sects dare not act blatantly, let alone the first-rate sects below them? Their goal is not the spiritual fruit, but to disrupt this transaction. So they hired some ruthless gangs," Xie Guangen smiled mysteriously.
"…are they all your people?"
"Hey! And your vest, Sect Master Li, is not simple! You are the second place in the foundation building group of the Ganzhou competition, second only to Miao Qianqian, and you defeated Taohu's genius with one move! If you take action, even if you repel the primary thugs in the Jindan stage, it is not unacceptable. This can also make your vest more credible!"
Xie Guangen's enthusiastic attitude made Li Yanmo very annoyed. He wanted to emphasize that he was not preparing a vest, and he participated in the Ganzhou competition just to test his strength and fight against normal foundation-building cultivators.
But I have to admit that what Xie Guangen said makes sense.
A suitable vest can save you a lot of trouble.
After that, he would have to contact the Zhuge family, but he couldn't just jump in front of the Zhuge family and tell them that he was the leader of the Taixu Sect and the owner of the Tianxu Tower.
The pride of Ganzhou is a good identity.
"Are you moved?"
“I’m just thinking about practicality!”
