Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 264 Golden Tiger True Talisman and Spirit Flying Jade Talisman

"We're not even giving them a chance to register their numbers. Aren't we being a bit too domineering?" Gu Zhao rubbed his chin.

Yun Yang glanced at him sideways. "Are you going to erect a monument for them, or write their biographies?"

Gu Zhao said in a serious tone, "Of course it's recorded in the 'Record of Exterminating Evil' in the Daluo Palace. For example, when I killed the leader of the Three Worlds Divine Sect in the Biyue Palace last time, it was recorded there."

Yun Yang was speechless. "That's not something you found out by asking. They came to the Biyue Palace and introduced themselves!"

Gu Zhao didn't care, "Anyway, I already know."

Yun Yang thought for a moment, "Didn't you say there were five experts? You kill one, Uncle Yu Zhang kills one, and we just took down two more, which means there's one left."

"And then?" Gu Zhao asked.

"Then when we run into that person, we can just ask Uncle Yuzhang and who we killed this time, right?" Yun Yang clapped his hands and said.

Gu Zhao suddenly realized, "What you said makes so much sense!"

Everyone laughed heartily, and they were all in a very good mood.

Changyi moved closer to Daoist Shenhao and asked curiously, "Uncle-Master, you just used another magic weapon. What was it?"

Master Shenhao chuckled and reached into the gourd at his waist, taking out a white jade tablet. The tablet was about the size of a palm, with a fierce tiger carved on the surface and a rune carved on the back.

As fellow members of the Shangqing lineage, Changyi's eyes lit up, clearly recognizing what it was: "The Golden Tiger True Talisman?"

Master Shenhao handed the jade tablet to Changyi, nodded and smiled, "It is indeed the Golden Tiger True Talisman."

Changyi held the jade tablet and felt its smooth, warm texture. Just holding it in his hand seemed to have a calming effect. He slightly channeled his magic power into it, and a tiger's roar resounded, causing his soul to tremble slightly.

Master Shenhao stroked his white beard and said with a smug smile, "How about it?"

Changyi exclaimed, "What a wonderful magic weapon!"

Gu Zhao also stepped closer and took the jade token. "I didn't expect my martial uncle to be such an expert in weapon crafting!"

Previously, Daoist Shenhao had told him that he wanted to use the materials from the Daluo Palace to refine a magic weapon called the Golden Fire Bell. Gu Zhao then told him to use it as he pleased, and even to try other magic weapons.

"In the movies, when the Taoist priests of Maoshan exorcise ghosts and demons, they are covered in magical artifacts. My uncle is a senior member of the Shangqing lineage, so it's ridiculous that he only has a golden fire bell. You can use it as you please!"

Unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise. In addition to the Golden Fire Bell, there was also a Golden Tiger Divine Talisman.

"The Golden Tiger Divine Talisman comes from the 'Dongzhen Taiwei Golden Tiger True Talisman Scripture', which is similar to the 'Shangqing Dongtian Sanwu Vajra Mysterious Talisman Ritual' of the Zhengyi School."

Master Shenhao explained, "But when I tried it, I found that the Golden Tiger True Talisman, though called a talisman, is actually a treasure to be worn. It can help with cultivation, calm the mind, and also attack demons and evil spirits, destroying their souls and spirits."

Gu Zhao asked, "Does it require special cultivation techniques to activate?"

Master Shenhao shook his head, “No need. Although I made the talisman with a jade tablet, it would be possible to succeed with these sandalwood trees that grow in a spiritual environment, but the spiritual energy would be weaker and the power would be less.”

After a pause, Daoist Shenhao added, "But it's stronger than ordinary talismans."

Gu Zhao's eyes lit up. "Could it be used as a standard magical artifact?"

"Exactly." Daoist Shenhao nodded with a smile, then added with some regret, "It's a pity that it still requires the true qi of the Daoist sect to activate; ordinary people can't use it." Gu Zhao shook his head, "It's already quite good."

Yun Yang laughed and said, "Then we can equip everyone with beginner gear, right?"

Master Shenhao nodded, then took out a jade pendant from the gourd. "I originally wanted to test the power and effectiveness of these things a little more before saying anything, but since I've used the Golden Tiger True Talisman today, I'll say it all at once."

"What is this?" Yun Yang asked, and everyone curiously gathered around.

"This is a Spirit Flying Jade Talisman." Daoist Shenhao handed the jade pendant to Gu Zhao. "It comes from the *Shangqing White Feather Black Wing Flying Feather Scripture*, and its function is..."

Gu Zhao channeled his true qi into the jade pendant, and his body felt swaying. He was taken aback. "Can you fly?"

"Mysterious Purple Clarity, Flying Feather Scripture, Reflecting Clouds and Mist, Capturing a Thousand Spirits Below, Flying Steps to the Celestial Origin, Ascending to the Dipper's Essence, Emerging from the Void and Entering the Mysterious, Constantly Living with Qi."

Master Shenhao smiled broadly, “Similar to the Golden Tiger Divine Talisman, it is called a talisman but is actually a treasure. By inputting magic power, one can fly through the air, but the altitude and speed are somewhat inferior.”

Gu Zhao handed the jade talisman to Yun Yang, "Try it!"

Yun Yang didn't stand on ceremony. After accepting the jade pendant, he channeled his magic power into it, and then his whole body floated up lightly, rising several dozen meters higher.

"Holy crap! It can really fly!"

Yun Yang carefully manipulated the jade pendant, drawing several arcs in the sky before descending. "If I wear a jade pendant, can I pretend to be a flying expert?"

“You’re about to break through yourself, you don’t need this Spirit Flying Jade Talisman.” Daoist Shenhao took the jade pendant and said to Gu Zhao, “It’s similar to the Golden Tiger Divine Talisman. This kind of jade with spiritual energy is hard to find. There are only two or three pieces in the warehouse. I used one to make these two jade pendants. You can also use sandalwood, but the effect will be much weaker.”

"As long as it works, that's fine. Let's solve the problem of whether we have it or not first," Gu Zhao said.

Yun Yang clicked his tongue, "The Cui Luo Mountain is full of sandalwood with abundant spiritual energy. If each disciple of the Da Luo Palace has a Spirit Flying Jade Talisman, they can fly up as soon as they encounter an enemy, scaring the enemy to death."

Upon learning of the Lingfei Jade Talisman's effects, the happiest people were not Yun Yang, but Chang Yi and Yang Shuo.

Although Yun Yang is also young, he arrived early and participated in many battles when manpower was insufficient, sharing the evil energy. At this time, his cultivation has accumulated to a high level and he is about to break through to the next realm.

Changyi and Yangshuo are younger and have shallow cultivation. They don't have a good opportunity to participate in high-level battles, so it's not easy for them to break through five hundred years of cultivation and fly.

But now that we have the Spirit Flying Jade Talisman, things are much more convenient. Whether it's going down the mountain to be a hero, returning to the mountain for something, or even rushing to participate in a great battle after receiving news, we can get an extra share of the spoils!
Facing the intense gazes of the two young men, Gu Zhao returned the jade pendant to Daoist Shenhao and pointed at the two men, saying, "Please make two for them when you get back, otherwise I'm afraid they'll block my door."

Everyone burst into laughter.

“It’s true that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.” Master Yansong chuckled. “The Shangqing lineage has the longest history, and there are many talismans and treasures in its various scriptures. Senior brother, take a look. You might be pleasantly surprised in the future.”

Master Shenhao shook his head and laughed, "There are too many, I can't read them all!"

The group flew through the air, and several old Taoist priests who could fly led the others back to the Great Luo Palace in no time.

"I'm about to break through too, this jade talisman is useless, Sect Leader, you can take it and play with it." Daoist Shenhao handed the Spirit Flying Jade Talisman to Gu Zhao, and then led everyone to refine the treasure.

Gu Zhao smiled and accepted it, then walked lightly towards Zhuo Qingyan's courtyard.
