Chapter 101 [God-Descending Talisman] (6500 words)
Chapter 6500 [Deity Talisman] ( words)
The most convenient and fastest way to travel from Jinling Prefecture to the port city is naturally to take a direct flight.

However... Chen Yan is not a good choice

Because Gu Qingyi is still an "illegal resident".

Not only can she not take a plane, but she can't take the high-speed rail, train, or even long-distance bus.

Because all these modes of travel require identity documents, and a pass is required to go to the port city.

Longguo has fully implemented online information management for household registration and citizens' identity information, so it is difficult to forge documents - at least it is not something Chen Yan is capable of doing.

and so……

The only way for Chen Yan to take Gu Qingyi with him was... driving.

Drive from Jinling Prefecture to Shenzhen, which is next to the port city, and then go to the port city from the Shenzhen port.

When crossing the border, Gu Qingyi needed to use magic to sneak across the border. After all, it was a land port, so he could just fly over at night when no one was around.

Driving from Jinling Prefecture to Shenzhen is about 1400 kilometers. If you drive... it will take about 15 hours without stopping.

For those who like to travel by car, it may be acceptable.

But for someone like Chen Yan who doesn't like long-distance travel, this way of traveling is definitely a form of self-abuse.

"I'm not going."

Gu Qingyi gave this answer after listening to Chen Yan's plan at home.

Chen Yan was stunned.

"If you don't go, I'm actually a little worried." Chen Yan didn't hide anything and said frankly: "This time is different from the previous visit to the He family. This time in Hongcheng, I'm worried that I might encounter some danger."

That guy named Mr. Zhong must be quite capable!
His cultivation was not weak, and his methods were mixed with many evil techniques from the South Seas. For example, he had previously harmed Lu Sisi and stolen her fate.

In addition, Chu Keqing also introduced this person's style of doing things, including boiling corpse oil to raise little ghosts.

It sounds evil.

If Gu Xiaoniang, his biggest supporter, didn't go, Chen Yan would really feel a little confused.

Gu Qingyi pondered for a while and sighed: "Wait for me here." Then he slowly got up and left to the training room downstairs.

A moment later, Gu Qingyi returned to the living room and slapped a talisman in front of Chen Yan.

Chen Yan was delighted: "Another motherly love... ah no, is it the Wuxiang Pojie Zhan?" But after taking another look, Chen Yan exclaimed: "This rune is wrong."

The rune pattern on the talisman paper was still unfamiliar to Chen Yan. It was a crooked pattern with a touch of bright red in the middle.

"This is the [Spirit Summoning Talisman]." Gu Qingyi exhaled, "It contains a drop of my blood essence. When you are in danger, burn this talisman and you can summon a wisp of my spirit to descend to your side and help you kill the enemy."

Chen Yan was stunned!
Is this a high-level game? The spirit descends?!
Gu Qingyi added, "But remember, this talisman is only effective for a wisp of my soul to be by your side for one minute. Once that minute is up, the soul will dissipate and fly back. Furthermore, the wisp of soul I've separated can only exert about one-third of my original body's power. In other words, it's roughly equivalent to the strength of someone at the Guiyuan Realm."

Chen Yan was a little disappointed when he heard it.

One minute is fine, but if Gu Tianren is only at the Guiyuan realm, can he still be called Gu Tianren?

As soon as Gu Qingyi saw Chen Yan's expression, he guessed what this guy was thinking. He sneered and said, "Don't use your perspective to measure my strength. When I was in the Guiyuan Realm, I could kill a Dengtai Realm cultivator - and he was a Dengtai Realm cultivator from our domain!

When I reached the Stage Realm, I challenged a Heavenly Man Realm opponent on the Prison Suppression Platform and remained undefeated."

Chen Yan took a breath.

Gu Qingyi is indeed strong.

A second realm could kill a third realm—a third realm from the realm realm, not the weak third realm of this real world.

However, the Four Realms (the Heavenly Realm) do not exist in this world, so...

"So what you're saying is that even if the wisp of your soul that descended upon us is only at the Return to Origin stage, we can still kill people indiscriminately in this world?"

Gu Qingyi glanced at Chen Yan and snorted coldly.

Chen Yan looked at the talisman in front of him and couldn't help but his eyes lit up: "Good stuff! Miss Gu, why don't you draw a few more for me?"

Gu Qingyi glared at Chen Yan and said, "Do you think this is easy? The summoning talisman is not a piece of cake! What you summoned is a wisp of my soul! Do you think that the soul can be divided into as many as you want?"

Chen Yan's expression changed when he heard this. He smiled awkwardly and nodded, "Okay..."

"Remember, don't use this talisman unless you're in danger." Gu Qingyi said seriously, "Your cultivation is already quite strong, but you have very little experience fighting enemies. I hope you can gain more experience by relying on your own abilities. When I was at your level, I could beat ten of you with one hand!"

Sighing softly, Gu Qingyi whispered, "Besides, Chen Yan, I'm going to leave here eventually. I'm not in this world anymore. If you encounter an enemy or get into danger, do you still count on my Wuxiang Pojie Zhan? Or do you expect me to help you with your thugs?"

Chen Yan's heart moved, and he looked at Gu Qingyi thoughtfully.

Gu Qingyi shook his head and said, "The Venerable Master has taught you such a good technique, as well as talismans and spells... But during the days I've been by your side, I've felt that you've been quite lazy in your cultivation. You spend very little time practicing, and you don't spend much energy studying spells.

Do you know that if someone in the domain could obtain the unique skills and magic skills taught by the Venerable Master, they would work madly and diligently to study them without eating or sleeping."

Chen Yan gave a bitter laugh and whispered, "But our world isn't a domain after all. Our world doesn't need me to fight or anything like that. The techniques the old lady left behind lack the methods for cultivating the primordial spirit. Even she probably didn't want me to go to the domain, and hoped that I would stay in this world and enjoy peace and prosperity."

After hearing this, Gu Qingyi was stunned for a moment.

After a long time, she sighed again and uttered quietly something that she had said several times in the past few days.

"Your world is indeed... beautiful."

·
Chen Yan was actually a little surprised that Gu Qingyi did not go to Hong Kong City.

And... he always felt that Gu Qingyi's attitude was a little strange, as if there was something reserved in his words.

Chen Yan guessed that there must be some other reason or cause for her not accompanying him to Hong Kong City - but Chen Yan couldn't guess, and Gu Qingyi would definitely not tell him.

This woman's attitude towards him was very subtle all night, and she went back to her room to rest early.

·
That night, Chen Yan did not slack off, but stayed in the training room.

Although he said that he enjoyed peace and wealth, Gu Qingyi's words still irritated Chen Yan.

I practiced the "Energy Version of Six Meridians Divine Sword" in the training room for two hours, and then repeatedly practiced two new spells that I had learned recently.

It was not until after three in the morning that Chen Yan sat in meditation in the training room to transfer his vital energy and practiced several times.

As usual, he continued to transport the vital energy. When the capacity of the vital energy entering the body was full, he used the ring to input the vital energy, in and out, to increase the number of times he transported the vital energy.

The ring left by the old lady still seemed like a bottomless pit that could absorb the vital energy that Chen Yan input - it seemed that no matter how much was input, its capacity would never be bottomed out.

Unfortunately, up to now, Chen Yan has not been able to find out whether this treasure has more magical uses.

but……

I still have two treasures in my hand that can be considered magical weapons.

One is the half-burnt candle left by the old lady. Unfortunately, after the little boy left, the candle was of no use.

As for this thing, when Xiao Hai Ge was around, he also said that its name was "Lihuo Candle".

Gu Qingyi also helped Chen Yan look at the half candle. Although she was not good at magic or making tools, she came from a wealthy family in the domain and had some vision.

Gu Qingyi told Chen Yan that this Lihuo Candle is a magic weapon of the ghost clan in the domain, which can attract ghost fire. Ghost fire is the nourishment used by practitioners who follow the path of ghost cultivation to practice.

Just like ordinary practitioners need the vital energy of heaven and earth, for ghost practitioners, the vital energy of heaven and earth alone is not enough, and they need to ignite ghost fire to temper their spiritual bodies.

Ghost fire is a great tonic for ghost cultivators.

Unfortunately, this thing is of no use to Chen Yan - unless Chen Yan commits suicide, abandons his physical body, and cultivates his spiritual body, then this fire candle will be of use.

The last treasure is the alchemy furnace given by Su Yi.

However, Chen Yan did not understand alchemy, and the booklet left by the old lady only contained some common sense and popular science introductions to alchemy, and there was no detailed chapter on alchemy.

Gu Qingyi had said that the ghost tribe wasn't good at alchemy. Perhaps the old lady herself wasn't very accomplished in this area either.

This alchemy furnace is actually of no use to Chen Yan for the time being.

Moreover, Chen Yan had no interest in alchemy by nature - he had disliked chemistry class when he was in school.

Gu Qingyi had also seen this octagonal alchemy furnace and said that it was made of thunder stone.

Chen Yan had read about the material "Thunder Stone" in the old lady's secret book. It said that the stone was struck by thunder and tempered by thunder and heavenly fire, making it an excellent material for building an alchemy furnace.

Moreover, Gu Qingyi told Chen Yan that this octagonal alchemy furnace should be made of high-grade thunder stone, and from the aura left on the alchemy furnace, Gu Qingyi judged that the previous owner of this thing used it to refine alchemy, and should have used the inner alchemy fire of a demon cultivator as an auxiliary.

Moreover, it is the inner elixir fire of a demon cultivator in the celestial realm!
Because only demon cultivators at the Heavenly Man Realm can shed their demonic aura, and the elixir fire does not contain demonic aura - only such inner elixir fire can be used to assist in elixir refining.

And because this octagonal alchemy furnace has withstood the inner alchemy fire of demon cultivators above the Heavenly Man Realm, the original material of high-grade thunder stone has undergone a further tempering, making it extra strong!

At least in this world, it is difficult to find anything that can hurt it.

This thing can be easily operated with a few incantations, allowing it to switch back and forth between miniature form and normal form.

In pocket-sized form, it is about the size of a finger.

In its normal form, it is about one meter tall.

However, although Chen Yan did not know how to make pills, he did develop a way to use it - as a storage device.

There was barely enough space inside the alchemy furnace to fit the size of a suitcase.

After stuffing something in it, it shrinks and can be carried around. When it expands again, the things inside can be taken out.

He couldn't learn how to make pills, but it was still somewhat useful as a storage device. Chen Yan planned to go to Hong Kong this time and bring back everything he could from the old lady's bank safe.

With this octagonal alchemy furnace as storage equipment, you don't have to worry about customs clearance for gold, jade, etc.

However, Gu Qingyi had previously told Chen Yan a fantastical use for this octagonal alchemy furnace.

"You can use it to hit people."

When Chen Yan heard what Gu Qingyi said, he fell silent.

Actually...it's not that I haven't been tempted.

You can control its size. When you hold it in your hand, just throw it at the enemy and it will instantly become bigger!

Because this thing is made of top-grade thunder stone, according to Gu Qingyi's estimation, it will weigh about three tons when it turns into its normal form!
That's the weight of an SUV.

If you use it to hit someone...

The painting style just isn't very pretty.

The Heavenly King Li holding the pagoda hits people with a pagoda. How can I, the great benefactor Chen, hit people with a stove?

He is the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li, and I am just a stove burner?

And after all, this thing is not a real offensive magic weapon, and there is no corresponding attack spell.

If you want to use it to hit someone, you can only rely on your eyesight to aim, and it has no function to trap the enemy.

Unless you wait until you have reached a high level of cultivation, you can refine this thing again and transform it into an offensive magic weapon.

By then, maybe Chen Yan can turn himself into the King of Stove Carrying Chen.

On the afternoon of the second day, Chen Yan, Chu Keqing and his assistant Xiao Cai walked out of the Hong Kong City Airport together.

Chen Yan carried a simple backpack and dragged a trolley suitcase.

The winter in Hong Kong is much warmer than in Jinling Prefecture, with temperatures around 20 degrees Celsius. Before getting off the plane, Chen Yan had already taken off his thick down jacket and sweater and put on a long-sleeved sweatshirt.

After following Chu Keqing out of the arrival exit, the female assistant Xiao Cai went out first and negotiated with a middle-aged man holding a sign standing outside.

"A friend of mine in Hong Kong sent his driver to pick us up." Chu Keqing explained to Chen Yan, "My friend does business here and is also the vice president of a folk association for cultural exchange. He had something to do this afternoon and couldn't come to pick us up, so he sent his driver here.

I previously asked someone to investigate my third senior brother's situation, and it was him who did it. He will come to the hotel tonight to meet us and tell us the latest situation."

Chen Yan nodded without comment, followed him out of the airport, and got into a black business car.

Chu Keqing was a wealthy woman, and everything she wore when traveling was of a high standard.

The plane was first class, and the hotel we stayed in when we arrived in Hong Kong was the famous Peninsula Hotel.

This is a place favored by traditional wealthy people in Hong Kong. Although it has declined slightly in recent years - mainly compared with some new luxury hotels, the facilities here are a bit old after all, but the luxurious level is still there, and it is well-known.

After arriving at the hotel and checking in, Chen Yan and Chu Keqing's rooms were deliberately arranged to be opposite each other on the same floor.

Chen Yan returned to the room, put down his luggage, tidied up briefly, washed his face, and then he heard a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, Chu Keqing was standing outside. It looked like this woman had touched up her makeup and changed her clothes - she had actually changed into a long-sleeved sweatshirt with a sporty feel.

Chen Yan was stunned after taking a look.

The impression this woman gave him was always that of someone who dressed in a deliberately traditional style. When she walked outside, she would usually wear a tight-fitting cheongsam, and in the academy, she would wear a white robe.

It is probably that kind of conservative traditional attire, used to create an image and personality of calmness, elegance and superiority in front of others.

Chen Yan was a little uncomfortable with the sudden change into such a casual and sporty sweatshirt.

Well, it has a different flavor.

Chen Yan's look at her with a hint of surprise made Chu Keqing smile slightly, and she whispered, "Senior, I dress like that in Jinling Prefecture to maintain the name of 'Purple Elder'. I'm not very famous here, so I don't need to dress like that."

"Uh...it's pretty."

Chen Yan nodded, stepped aside, and invited Chu Keqing in. "Didn't you say you were going to meet that friend of yours tonight? Is there something you want to talk to me about now?"

Chu Keqing walked into Chen Yan's room and sat down on the sofa in the living room before slowly saying, "I've learned something new. My friend just called me and told me about it."

Chen Yan nodded: "What's going on?"

"My third senior brother's funeral."

Chu Keqing's expression grew serious. "My third senior brother died in a fire. He was staying at the home of one of his women that night. The information my local friend had originally gathered was a bit sketchy, but he just told me that he's found out more about that woman. It's about my third senior brother's woman."

Chen Yan picked up the mineral water in the room, handed a bottle to Chu Keqing, and opened another bottle for himself: "Is there something wrong with that woman?"

"It's not that there's a problem, but she's in a very bad condition."

Chu Keqing took a sip of water and said, "That woman also survived the fire, but she seemed to be injured and admitted to the hospital. It's just strange that she has been in a coma and has not woken up yet.

My friend found out that the woman didn't seem to have suffered any fatal injuries in the fire, nor did she suffer any external injuries that could cause her to fall into a coma.

So it's very strange that she's still unconscious. The hospital's guess is that she might have been frightened by the fire, leading to her coma - but that's actually hard to explain.

Also, my friend told me that he just received news... The hospital said her condition is a bit complicated, and asked us to come as soon as possible if it is convenient..."

Chen Yan immediately stood up and sighed: "I understand what you mean, let's go over and take a look now."

After a pause, Chen Yan frowned and glanced at Chu Keqing: "For such an important matter, there's no need for you to be so hesitant and beat around the bush when speaking to me. We're here to do something, and if you're always so cautious with me, it's unnecessary."

Chu Keqing nodded quickly: "I'm afraid I've troubled you, Senior. I just got off the plane and arrived at the hotel, and I have to drag you to do something. I feel a little guilty..."

"Let's get on with our business. Let's go." Chen Yan waved his hand decisively, "Don't be so polite next time."

Luo Meifang is the name of the woman who is the third senior brother's lover.

The third brother never married and had no children. However, he was not the kind of cultivator who was ascetic and abstaining from desires, so he naturally never neglected himself when it came to women.

After becoming famous in Hong Kong, the third senior brother, who gained both fame and fortune, naturally had no shortage of women around him over the years.

This woman named Luo Meifang is the "girlfriend" that the third senior brother met last year. In fact, to be more accurate and straightforward, she should be called a gold digger.

This woman is 27 years old. According to her resume, she was a model in her early years.

In order to support her, the third senior brother arranged for her to live in a so-called thousand-square-foot mansion in Hong Kong (actually it was only about a hundred square meters).

It was obvious that the third senior brother had no long-term plans with her: the thousand-square-foot luxury house had not been transferred to her name, and from the investigation, it seemed that the third senior brother had spent more than one million Hong Kong dollars on her in the past year.

The most important thing is that during this year, the third senior brother seemed to have some unclear relationships with other women.

This approach is consistent with the third brother's usual style of making "temporary girlfriends" in Hong Kong City over the years.

Luo Meifang is not a local, but a Dragon descendant who came to Hong Kong from a small country in Southeast Asia to develop in Hong Kong. Even the three characters in her name, Luo Meifang, were changed after she came to Hong Kong - there are quite a few people like her in Hong Kong.

Judging from the photos, her appearance is above average, but she should have a good figure.

Because she is not a local and has no relatives or family members here, it is unknown whether she has any relatives in her hometown.

After the fire, she has been admitted to the hospital without any care, not even a single friend has visited her.

Since no one paid the hospital fees, they could only be deducted from her medical insurance. However, because the patient had been in a coma, the expenses could no longer support continued treatment. Therefore, if Chen Yan and others had not arrived in Gangcheng in time, the hospital would probably stop subsequent treatment in two days, and then probably report to the authorities and transfer the patient to some charitable public relief hospital for maintenance.

·
Chen Yan, followed by Chu Keqing and assistant Xiao Cai, arrived at a hospital by car.

After getting off the car and walking into the hospital lobby, I saw from a distance a middle-aged man in a suit walking quickly towards the three of them with a clear goal.

The man looked short, and his facial features were typical of people from South Guangdong, with prominent cheekbones and small, but bright eyes.

She looked to be about forty years old, with a slightly dark complexion, but she seemed to be well-dressed and quite elegant. However, when she saw Chu Keqing from afar, her eyes clearly lit up...

Chen Yan had some guesses in his mind - this person was probably an admirer of Chu Keqing?

"Miss Chu, long time no see!"

The middle-aged man walked over with a smile and stretched out his hand. He spoke Long Mandarin, but with a clear Hong Kong accent.

Chu Keqing nodded politely, went up to shake his hand, and smiled: "Luo Sheng, long time no see, I really trouble you this time."

"Hey! I've told you many times that calling me Luo Sheng is too formal. Miss Chu, just call me Xin Ge." The middle-aged man smiled enthusiastically, but seemed to have forgotten to let go of the hand he was holding.

Chu Keqing calmly withdrew her hand, then introduced to Chen Yan: "This is Mr. Luo Shixin, also the vice president of the Hong Kong and Guangdong Folk Traditional Culture Exchange Association."

Then Chu Keqing turned around and nodded to Luo Shixin, and gestured to Chen Yan beside him: "This is the son of a Taoist friend of mine. I brought him here as an assistant."

When Luo Shixin saw Chen Yan, there was a hint of surprise on his face - Chen Yan was tall and straight, more than half a head taller than him, and his facial features were handsome and delicate, and his appearance was also quite outstanding.

More importantly, he had known Chu Keqing for some time and had interacted with her several times, but he had never seen Chu Keqing with a young man as an assistant.

However, Luo Shixin was clearly a man of the moment, and he quickly put on a smile and said, "Miss Chu's friend must also be from a prominent Xuanmen family! Then this handsome guy must also be from a prominent family! He looks very impressive and a very talented person!"

Chen Yan immediately put on a shy expression, a befitting young man, and greeted him in a low voice, "Hello, Mr. Luo."

Chu Keqing drooped her eyelids and asked, "Mr. Luo, what's the situation at the hospital like now?"

"Well, the situation is not very good." Luo Shixin sighed, his tone very heavy.

[I have to go on a business trip in two days, so in order to save some manuscripts, I can't update much these few days. The minimum is more than 6,000 words per day.

I try to save some manuscripts before my business trip to last a few days. So, I can't write 8,000 to 9,000 words a day, or even over 10,000 words a day for now. I'll have to wait until I'm back from my trip.
