Chapter 57

Wang Pingfan Challenges Zhao Qiyuan

Wang Yuyao watched his departing figure, her heart filled with chills, and even more so with resentment, a deep, pent-up resentment.

The more he thought about it, the stronger his resentment became.

That damned Zhao Jingming actually beat up her personal maid all over the house for the sake of a bitch.

It's that bastard's younger brother who became Zhao Qingyao's disciple.

As for?

My father is Wang Yunfeng of the Wang Clan, a powerful expert at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Even if Chen Changqing became Zhao Qingyao's disciple, it would be impossible for him to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

In front of all my servants, he gave me such a humiliating warning.

It almost scared the old lady so much she peed herself.

As for?

She was completely unaware of her mistake.

The more I think about it, the angrier and more furious I become.

You despicable person.

You despicable person.

Her eyes were filled with resentment and malice.

I wonder, now that that bitch's brother is dead, what does that bitch have to rely on?

Wang Yuyao glared at the group of maids in front of her, who looked like quails, and roared hysterically, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and pack up!"

After washing up, Wang Yuyao went to her bedroom and wrote a letter to her ninth brother, Wang Yuyuan.

Her ninth brother was her biological brother from both parents, and she doted on him.

I will absolutely not tolerate her being bullied.

Wang Yuyao exaggerated the story to Wang Yuyuan, telling him how that bitch Chen Changyue bullied her by taking advantage of her trashy younger brother, and that she wanted her brother to kill that damned Chen Changqing, preferably to tear him to pieces.

To vent her anger.

……

After warning the Third Madam, Zhao Jingming went to the courtyards of the First Madam and the Second Madam.

The clever Zhao Jingming warned the First Madam and the Second Madam in the same way.

……

That night.

The news that Chen Changqing had become Zhao Qingyao's disciple quietly spread throughout Dayang County.

Zhao Yanchang, the number one scoundrel of the Zhao Immortal Clan, who was known as one of the Great Yang Twin Insects along with Chen Changqing, was given a severe beating by his father.

They were beaten terribly.

The piercing screams echoed across most of the street.

Zhang Jinlong's father also dragged Zhang Jinlong out of Zuixianglou and gave him a severe beating.

……

However, compared to the news of Chen Changqing becoming Zhao Qingyao's disciple, the news of the Wang Clan's Grand Master Wang challenging Master Zhao tomorrow is far more popular.

Almost all the beast tamers and ordinary people in Dayang County were talking about this matter.

Everyone wants to know who will win.

The members of the Wang Clan, as well as the beast tamers who were on good terms with the two great immortal clans, were extremely nervous, fearing that the side with which they had a good relationship would be defeated.

Ordinary people and beast tamers who had no connection with the two great immortal clans were also extremely curious.

Although there is not much difference between ordinary people and beast tamers, whoever is in charge will exploit them and require them to work like cattle and horses.

But I still couldn't resist my curiosity.

The vast majority of beast tamers and the general public still favor Zhao Qiyuan, but some people favor Wang Pingfan, the real person.

Some gambling dens have even secretly started acting as bookmakers.

Betting on whether Master Zhao or Master Wang will win or lose.

Only the higher-ups of the Zhao Immortal Clan showed no concern, clearly indicating they were aware of some of the details.

……

Chen Changqing bought five hundred talisman sheets specially for drawing protective amulets and two bottles of talisman ink on credit from Lingfu Pavilion.

Because he is now the personal disciple of the Lingbao Pavilion Master, the shop assistants treat him with great courtesy.

He bought 500 talisman skins on credit, and the seller even asked him if he wanted more.

Chen Changqing felt very pleased.

It's pretty good.

Upon returning to Sanhe Town, we first went to the slaughterhouse.

Let Xiao Hei kill some livestock.

Afterwards, he and Xiao Hei trained on the wasteland outside the slaughterhouse.

The area outside the slaughterhouse was originally overgrown with weeds.

At this moment, there are only a few scattered weeds.

That was trampled by Chen Changqing and Xiao Hei.

This training session, like most of my previous training sessions, did not involve the use of spiritual power; instead, I trained using the strength of my physical body.

After all, I need to save my spiritual energy to draw talismans when I get home.

The body training and archery practice have ended.

He then had Xiao Hei kill a few more livestock before returning to the Sanhe Courtyard.

After dinner, Chen Changqing returned to the quiet room and first drew a fireball talisman.

Six fireball talismans have been drawn.

Only then did he take out the talisman-drawing notes that Zhao Qingyao had given him.

Although the booklet was not thick, every page was densely covered with writing.

It meticulously records the spiritual energy circulation of every stroke and line of the amulet, all of which are Zhao Qingyao's insights and experiences.

Chen Changqing studied it carefully and found that the amulet was much more complicated to draw than the fireball amulet.

The Fireball Talisman has relatively simple runes and is mainly for attack, while the amulet's runes require more precise control of spiritual power.

Especially at the joints of the runes, the slightest carelessness can cause the runes to malfunction.

"As expected of Master's notes, every detail is written in such detail."

Chen Changqing sighed inwardly, and then began to try to draw a talisman according to the contents of the notes.

He unfolded the talisman's outer skin and took out the talisman brush, the Qingyun Brush, given to him by his master.

The ink required for each type of talisman is specially made.

The talisman brush was covered with the ink from the fireball talisman, and it cannot be used to draw any other talismans unless it is thoroughly cleaned.

Dipping the Azure Cloud Brush into talisman ink, the Soul-Devouring Creation Black Lotus burned fiercely in his mind, and spiritual power slowly flowed into the talisman brush.

He controlled the talisman brush to move across the amulet's skin, but had only drawn half a small rune.

The rune suddenly trembled, and then with a "poof," the rune skin turned to ashes.

"It failed..." Chen Changqing frowned, but was not discouraged.

Because the Soul-Devouring Black Lotus gave him feedback on the experience and insights of the protective talisman.

Moreover, the path of talismanic cultivation is inherently a process of rigorous refinement.

Failure is the norm.

He spread out another talisman and continued trying.

This time, he was even more careful, strictly following the instructions in the notes with every stroke, and controlling his spiritual power with greater precision.

But after only drawing half a small rune, the talisman paper turned to ashes again.

This time, however, the drawing was slightly longer than before, covering almost half of a small rune.

"It seems that the difficulty of obtaining a protective talisman is indeed much higher than that of a fireball talisman." Chen Changqing digested the bits of experience and insights fed back by the Soul Devouring Creation Black Lotus.

He remained calm and composed, slowly digesting his insights, adjusting his mindset, and continued trying.

The third time, the fourth time, the fifth time... the twentieth time.

"Amulet +1".

Chen Changqing failed time and time again.

But with each failure, the Soul-Devouring Black Lotus would give him a wisp of experience and insight into the protective talisman.

By the twentieth time, he was already able to draw a complete small rune.

The amulet has a total of twenty small runes.

After digesting the feedback and insights once again, Chen Changqing began his twenty-first attempt.

"The twenty-first time, the twenty-second time, the twenty-third time..."

After failing thirty times, Chen Changqing's spiritual energy was completely depleted.

Although he only drew a little bit each time, which didn't use much spiritual power, Chen Changqing didn't have much spiritual power left.

……

The next day.

It was the day when Wang Pingfan, a member of the Wang clan of Dayang County, was undertaking a major foundation-building project, and Zhao Qiyuan, a member of the Zhao clan of Dayang County, was challenging him to undertake a major foundation-building project.

Many members of the three major immortal clans in Dayang County, as well as a large number of low-level beast tamers and beast taming immortals, went to the challenge location, Blackwater Bay, early in the morning to watch the battle.

Chen Changqing did not go.

Regardless of who wins or loses, it's not something he can decide.

Moreover, the core members of the Zhao Immortal Clan, such as his brother-in-law and his master, have great confidence in Zhao Qiyuan.

That means Zhao Qiyuan must have something to rely on and will not be defeated.

Not losing is enough.

Chen Changqing washed up, drew a fireball talisman, and practiced using a protective talisman.

They went to the slaughterhouse with Xiao Hei to kill livestock.

Body Refinement.

Practice archery.
