Zhou Shide jolted awake, swallowed hard, and forced himself to stop looking at the soul fire in the skull's eye. His voice trembled as he said, "Senior brother, I..."

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do we do all our lives as Taoist priests?' Isn't it to subdue demons and monsters, and bring glory to our families?"

"Think about it, if the talisman-making method I mentioned earlier is successfully completed, the two of us might be able to earn our own memorial tablets and be placed alongside the ancestral masters in Yuzhen Palace!"

Yuzhen Palace?
Placed alongside the ancestral masters of all generations?
These words struck Master Zhou's heart like a thunderbolt.

Yuzhen Palace is a place dedicated to Grandmaster Zhang Sanfeng, a sacred site in the hearts of every Wudang disciple. What an honor it is to have a memorial tablet there and receive offerings from future generations!
What is the point of living a lifetime if not to leave a mark on history?

The obsession with continuing the family line instantly overwhelmed the fear from the spirits of the dead. The cowardice in Master Zhou's eyes vanished, replaced by a fierce determination.

"I've lived a mediocre life for over forty years, but today, even if it costs me my old life, I'm going to bring glory to this family!"

"Senior brother, you're right!" He gritted his teeth, grabbed the lasso in his hand, and hurled it at the skeleton in the cage. "You little brat, come here to me!"

The rope precisely looped around the skeleton soldier's arm as it tried to scratch and attack Master Zhou.

"Good!" Master Chen was very satisfied to see that his junior brother had recovered. "Hold it! Yes, pull its arm towards the cage, pull it tight!"

Master Zhou roared and used all his strength to forcefully pull the skeleton's arm bone tightly against the alloy cage wall.

Without further hesitation, Master Chen started the chainsaw and pressed it down on the white arm bone!
"Buzz—creak, creak!"

A screeching sound of friction echoed throughout the warehouse, and white bone powder flew everywhere.

The skeleton soldier seemed to feel intense pain; its bones were cracking and popping, the soul fire in its eyes was flickering wildly, and it opened its jaws and began to gnaw at the cage, making a loud clanging sound.

But Master Zhou was also a martial arts expert. At this moment, he was completely focused on his work, his arm muscles bulging, and no matter how the skeleton struggled, it remained completely still.

"Crack!"

With a crisp crack, the arm bone broke.

The chainsaw stopped, and Master Chen snatched the bone, which was still emitting a faint blue light, his face full of fanatical excitement: "Done!"

He didn't even glance at the crazed skeleton in the cage, and turned to leave.

"Come on, junior brother, let's go grind it over there! We have to do this while it's hot!"

The conversation between the two helped Master Zhou adjust his mindset.

Having just fought with a living undead, that fear had long since been washed away by the adrenaline rush.

As he walked out, he defiantly gave the middle finger to the skeleton that was now missing another arm.

Then, he followed behind Master Chen with great pride and high spirits, as if he had just won a great victory.

"This piece of junk is just a skeleton, how can it still have so much strength?" Master Zhou muttered, and seeing his senior brother walk away, he quickly followed, "Wait for me, senior brother!"

"By the way, senior brother, that thing is cold, right?"

"Then let's come while it's still cool!"

The two Taoist priests moved with incredible speed, leaving only the one-armed skeleton roaring angrily in the cage, and Wang Hu and the young warriors looking at each other in bewilderment.

"The two Taoist priests are quite fierce; those skeletons are incredibly strong!"

Wang Hu nodded. He put the safety back on his gun: "Hmm, perhaps their bodies undergo some magical changes after staying in another world for a long time."

"Teng Yanchen, let's go, we have to keep up!"

Watching the two soldiers leave, the young guard on duty looked on with anticipation: "Ah, making talismans, huh? Too bad I can't go."

He picked up a broom, intending to clean up the bone fragments that had splattered from the violent cutting, just as other researchers arrived outside. "Comrade, this is the research application approved by Deputy Commander Su. We need to take some samples!"

"Alright, do you want an arm or a leg? Are you going to use them as is, or are they leftovers from cleaning up the battlefield?"

“Make the best use of them. Do we have any newly captured ‘live’ skeletons here? We'd like some hand bones.”

Yes, yes! Here, over there.

"Holy crap, how come it's missing so much? Where's its left arm?"
-
dong dong dong~
Master Zhou took a stone hammer and chisel and began to smash the skull.

The hard skeletal arm was violently impacted, gradually turning into fragments, then into smaller pieces, and finally into powder.

Not far away, Master Chen took out his ancestral ritual implements from the modern world and materials for making talismans from another world.

For example, they ground the magical super obsidian and the otherworldly cinnabar that the mining team had painstakingly found into powder.

After arranging the yellow paper made from the alien wood, Master Chen went to watch his junior brother grind bone powder.

Seeing that they were moving very slowly, Wang Hu said, "Taoist priests, we have a grinding machine."

"The grinder isn't working, it's not working!" Master Chen stroked his beard. "As the saying goes, sincerity brings results, and there's a scientific basis for that. To obtain the means to exorcise demons, one must be sincere."

"Junior brother, grind it carefully, make sure the particles are uniform. I'll adjust my breathing first and wait for the best time to make the talisman."

Wang Hu opened his mouth, but ultimately held back and didn't say anything more.

Anyway, Professor Deng arranged for him to follow the two Taoist priests, to protect them and provide some assistance within his capacity.

By the time these meticulous tasks were finished, it was already noon.

Hearing the call to serve meals, Wang Hu couldn't help but say, "Two Taoist priests, it's mealtime!"

"Wait a moment, we'll be right there!" Upon hearing Wang Hu's words, Master Chen, who was meditating and adjusting his breathing, took out his compass and found that the compass needle was still flying wildly as always.

He then watched his junior's gameplay again.

"Phew, senior brother, I've lived up to expectations, the grinding is all done!"

After more than an hour of grinding, the skull arm had long since turned into a fine powder, with a faint blue tinge emerging on it, making it look both eerie and beautiful.

In addition to bone meal, there was also super obsidian powder that Master Chen had previously ground.

They were all stored in containers and arranged neatly.

"I have already burned incense and bathed. The weather is fine today; it's time!"

Master Chen had fasted for several days before arriving here in order to make some talismans, and his energy and spirit remained at their peak.

He took out the black paper for warding off evil spirits, made of materials from another world, and then bowed to the altar-style Qingxing Dao ritual, offering incense and reciting divine incantations, reporting the purpose of the ancestral master's creation of this talisman.

Master Chen stood before the altar, holding three incense sticks, and performing the Seven Star Steps—

"In the Jade Pure Realm, in the boundless primordial chaos—Disciple Chen Shixing, now using otherworldly black iron as an inkstone, black jade as a base, mixed with cinnabar, and cut from cedar needles to make talisman paper, and taking powder from the dead beyond the Three Realms as a spiritual guide, respectfully sets up an altar here, humbly hoping for the mercy of the Three Pure Ones and their decrees:"

The Supreme Celestial Venerable of the Great Purity bestowed upon his disciple the wisdom to harmonize Yin and Yang, enabling him to discern the origin of all Qi in this world.

The Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerable opened the Gate of Chaos, allowing spiritual materials from other realms to be incorporated into the talisman's core.

The Supreme Pure Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Venerable descended the Heavenly Dharma Lineage, enabling this talisman to connect the laws of both realms!
We respectfully invite all the celestial beings and deities to tread upon the nine-colored lotus throne, ride on phoenixes and cranes, and temporarily reside in the mortal realm!
