"All of them! So many!?"
Looking at the various spiritual plants piled up like a mountain in his arms, Song Chengming widened his eyes exaggeratedly.
"A lot?"
Tu Nian shrugged disapprovingly. She still had quite a bit of stuff piled up in her mustard seed, not just spiritual plants but also a ton of monster corpses. If Song Chengming wasn't too small to hold her, and she wasn't afraid he'd be frightened by the tragic deaths of the monsters, she could have given him a lot more experience.
Song Chengming's throat rolled over, and he was obviously much more careful in holding those things. "But don't people say that demon resources are very difficult to obtain?"
What Song Chengming said was not groundless.
Unlike the spiritual plants in the world of immortal cultivation that have almost no self-preservation ability, the spiritual plants growing in the demon clan are naturally enchanted and have corresponding attack capabilities from the moment they are unearthed. In addition, spiritual plants are inherently long-lived, so the spiritual plants of the demon clan often start at hundreds of years old.
A hundred-year-old spiritual plant of the demon clan, if only considering its combat power, is comparable to a cultivator in the foundation-building stage, not to mention the magical beasts. This is why the Bounty Pavilion has a large number of rewards just for collecting these spiritual plants and magical beasts.
Even though Tu Nian and the others don't take the bounty seriously, if they didn't have the two super fighters Jin Nanfeng and Chu Qiurong by their side, Tu Nian and Xu Ziqiao could only bully those low-level spiritual plants that had just turned a hundred years old and whose wisdom was not yet developed. If the bounty order required a lifespan of three to five hundred years, they might not be able to handle it.
In the past half month, all the bounty-filled jobs were taken care of by Jin Nanfeng and Xu Ziqiao. Song Chengming could naturally expect that all the spiritual plants brought back were thanks to the two of them, and with Jin Nanfeng's cultivation level of the Spirit Transformation Stage, this was not a difficult task.
But what puzzled him was that the eldest brother had so many bounties to worry about, so where did he find so much time to bring back these insignificant things?
After hearing Song Chengming's doubts, Tu Nian simply patted his shoulder meaningfully and said, "Calm down. Our sect has connections in the demon clan, so this is nothing. We might become family in the future. When that happens, no matter how much material you want, you'll definitely be there."
Is there anyone from the demon clan? Are we one family?
Song Chengming was stunned by what he heard, and his brain didn't know how many times it burned out, but seeing Tu Nian's back as he left in a leisurely manner, he had no time to continue brainstorming. He had to hurry up and start the gossip mode, trying to get more information from Tu Nian while studying the talisman.
Of course, Song Chengming failed. Once he and Tu Nian started studying the talismans, their minds were clear of distractions. In order to be able to experiment and discuss at any time, Tu Nian and Song Chengming worked day and night, with almost no rest at all.
Tu Nian's behavior of not returning home at night often caused Bo Qiu to run over from the back mountain, but every time he reached the top of the mountain, he saw her and Song Chengming pondering over several talismans in front of them. He could not bear to disturb them, so he ran back quietly.
It was already deep winter and the weather was still cold. Tu Nian and the other man had been staying on the top of the mountain despite the weather. If they hadn't built a house on the top of the mountain when the sect was renovated, they would have frozen to death here.
Fortunately, hard work pays off. Tu Nian and Song Chengming worked hard for ten days and finally determined a new theory about talismans in the general direction. On the same day, they excitedly went to the main peak tower with several newly researched talismans and presented them to Nie Yanchen.
Facts had proven that accumulated snow did not support idlers. Nie Yanchen had initially assumed they had questions, but after using the talismans they had given him, he was surprised to discover they were nearly 20% more effective than regular talismans!
"How did you do it?"
Seeing the look of disbelief on Nie Yanchen's face, Tu Nian and Song Chengming smiled at each other and happily clapped their hands.
"Master, do you see what's different about this talisman?"
As soon as Song Chengming finished speaking, Tu Nian rolled his eyes.
The thing was developed by Song Chengming, so of course she would not steal the limelight. However, there was a downside to asking Song Chengming to explain. This guy became proud and kept the secret the moment he opened his mouth.
Fortunately, Nie Yanchen was used to chatting about gossip, so he didn't say anything when others joined in the conversation. He just picked up the remaining talismans and took a look at them, and soon found a clue.
He stroked the talisman's texture, sniffed it, and said, "Hippogriff blood."
"That's right!" Song Chengming responded.
sharp!
Tu Nian also praised in her heart. The hawk-beaked horse's blood was as pure as water, with almost no evil smell. Mixed with cinnabar as a pigment, it also had the scent of yellow talisman paper. Nie Yanchen could still distinguish it so accurately, proving that her master was indeed an expert in talisman cultivation.
Once the clue on the talisman was discovered, it no longer mattered whether Song Chengming said his little tricks or not.
Holding the water talisman in his hand, Nie Yanchen frowned and analyzed, "The blood of the eagle-beaked horse is warm and yin in nature, which is compatible with the talisman head and the main deity on the water talisman. It can also resonate with the talisman's gallbladder. It is indeed an excellent material! No, it's more than that."
He changed the subject at this point, his eyes suddenly brightening. "Although the hawk-beaked horse is an attributeless magical beast, it is infected with demonic nature. If you use the hawk-beaked horse's blood directly to make a talisman, it is impossible to obtain such a pure water talisman. Could it be..."
"Good boy..."
Listening to Nie Yanchen's talk, Song Chengming's mouth had long been shaped into an "o" in shock. Seeing that he was lost in thought, he secretly raised his hand and poked Tu Nian, "Our master's level is really not to be underestimated."
To be honest, in the past, when the disciples went up and down the Jixue Sect, they were mostly led by Jin Nanfeng and Chu Qiurong. As outer disciples, they rarely received personal instruction from Nie Yanchen. Therefore, everyone's understanding of Nie Yanchen was limited to that of a powerful sect leader, but they were not very clear about the specifics of his power.
However, since the competition, Nie Yanchen has been personally guiding the outer sect's training more and more often. Now that he has shown such a skill, Song Chengming finally understood that Nie Yanchen is absolutely worthy of the position of the sect leader.
"You're kidding!" Tu Nian glanced at him, "Our master is a man known as the Talisman King."
Song Chengming was just casually expressing his feelings, and he hadn't expected such a statement. He was immediately stunned, "King Fu? Why haven't I heard of him?"
"You're short-sighted."
Tu Nian smiled and casually changed the subject.
Of course Song Chengming had never heard of this title. It was given to Nie Yanchen after he turned evil in the original novel. She blurted it out by mistake.
Fortunately, Nie Yanchen also came up with the result at this time, and Song Chengming's attention was also attracted by him.
"I know, it's the Exiled Immortal Grass."
Nie Yanchen said, "If we're talking about a spiritual object that has no attributes and can neutralize demonic energy, then the Exiled Immortal Grass is the most effective."
“All correct!”
Song Chengming clapped his hands and looked at Nie Yanchen with admiration. "Master, you truly are worthy of being a great master in the world of talisman cultivation. We spent over ten days testing so many materials to come up with this, and you guessed it perfectly with just one sniff."
