Fairy Eye

If it's about money, Han Lin could symbolically accept a small amount and give these talismans to Tang Chuan.

But this jade pendant was a family heirloom left by Tang Chuan's parents, so how could Han Lin accept it?

Isn't this just taking advantage of someone's misfortune?

If it were someone he didn't know well, it wouldn't matter. After all, back in the Merit Hall, it was Tang Chuan who didn't kick him out, which allowed him to find out the whereabouts of the Blood Spirit Bowl and resolve the deadly crisis at that time.

"Brother Han, listen to me. This jade is not a family heirloom of my Tang family. My parents found it by chance in an abandoned cave during their travels. It has no offensive or defensive capabilities, but it has a special ability: it can absorb the spiritual consciousness of outsiders!"

"After you acknowledge it as your master, carry it with you. If anyone uses their divine sense to probe your cultivation level or track your life force, it will be directly absorbed by this jade."

"If you encounter someone with bad intentions in the future, this might save you a lot of trouble."

Tang Chuan did not take back the jade pendant, but handed it to Han Lin again.

Absorbing the consciousness of others?

Han Lin was secretly surprised upon hearing this. If it was true, the function of this jade pendant was no less than that of some offensive and defensive treasures.

However, he still refused, saying, "Brother Tang, since this jade was left to you by your parents, I will not take it from you. You can keep it. I have other matters to attend to and need to return to the Northern Border."

"Brother Han, you're deliberately trying to make me regret it." Tang Chuan smiled wryly upon hearing this, and put the jade pendant back. "Alright, since Brother Han doesn't want it, I'll keep it for now. I wish you all the best in your career. Farewell."

He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Han Lin, then turned and walked outside.

Han Lin turned to look at Tang Chuan's back, feeling that something was off about Tang Chuan; he seemed rather sentimental.

He sighed, then began to tidy up. A moment later, he closed the bedroom door and walked outside.

When Han Lin arrived at the outer gate, he looked up and saw a rectangular, bluish-gray carved jade pendant on the door bolt, which was the same one Tang Chuan had had before.

"This guy..."

Han Lin frowned, reached out and took the jade pendant off, examining it repeatedly.

In addition to the exquisite patterns, the words "Absolute God" were also found to be engraved on it.

Absolute God.

Isolate divine consciousness?

Several thoughts flashed through Han Lin's mind. He then took the Absolute God Jade, went out, locked the courtyard gate, and arrived outside Tang Chuan's residence.

He was about to return it to Tang Chuan, but to his surprise, he found that Tang Chuan's courtyard gate was locked.

"Oh well, since you insist on giving it to me, I'll just accept it."

Han Lin felt that Tang Chuan was deliberately avoiding him, shook his head, and put the Divine Jade into his pocket.

Afterwards, he went to the outer sect's spirit bird territories to retrieve his spirit crane, and then headed straight for the Talisman Academy.

Fu Yuan's materials warehouse.

When the manager, Meng Huai, saw Han Lin enter, he was slightly taken aback, but quickly went to greet him.

"Han Lin, you're back."

"Elder Meng, it's been a long time. I wanted to ask if I can still get talisman-making materials from the materials warehouse?"

"Collect materials for making talismans? Sure, the steward has already spoken to you. You can come and collect the materials every month, but for every ten catties of beast blood you collect, you have to hand in three finished spirit talismans the following month," Meng Huai said with a smile.

Ten catties of beast blood, three finished spirit talismans?

This price is not low.

However, compared to buying materials yourself, it is undoubtedly much more convenient to pick them up directly from the Talisman Academy warehouse.

Moreover, with the Blood Spirit Bowl, even if he only recycles 30% of the beast blood, he can still make a lot of money.

So he immediately asked Meng Huai for 300 catties of mid-level beast blood and told him that he would have someone named "Luo San" run errands for him in the future, and asked Meng Huai to do him a favor.

Meng Huai had no objections, saying that as long as Han Lin could hand over the talisman as agreed, that would be fine.

Han Lin took the beast blood but didn't keep much. He found the steward Liang Yiqiu to catch up and express his gratitude for the care the steward had given him. Then, he rode a crane back to Xiaoluo Mountain.

It was already afternoon. Han Lin handed the crane over to Luo San to feed it properly, then returned to the small building and began to get busy.

He decided to leave, but not immediately; there were two things he needed to do before he left.

The first thing to do is to earn as many spirit stones as possible. After all, the independent cultivators outside are all poor. If they want to make big money, they still have to rely on large sects like Guiyuan Sect that have spirit stone mines.

The second thing was about making the mysterious potion for Gibb.

He felt a little guilty about stealing the other party's Blood Spirit Bowl.

If possible, he would help Ji Bai make the mysterious potion before leaving.

Speaking of the mysterious potion, Han Lin doesn't seem to have visited Ji Bai's herb garden yet.

It seems I need to make time to go to the main peak and see how long it will take for that so-called Nightshade Grass to mature.

As Han Lin continued to work, night quietly fell.

The undulating mountains, shrouded in night, resembled a group of monsters crawling on the ground.

At the foot of a mountain called Daling Mountain, outside the Guiyuan Sect, a young man in his twenties dressed in blue appeared.

He looked up at the path leading up the mountain, then started walking uphill.

Daling Mountain is considered the place with the most abundant spiritual energy among the outer sect cultivators, and ordinary people cannot cultivate here.

Only those outer sect stewards who have reached the 70th level of Qi Refining can own a private residence here.

The villa of Zhao Changping, the steward of the Gongfa Building, is located here.

The reason it's called a separate courtyard is because Zhao Changping is different from other outer sect stewards. He is the disciple of the Sixth Elder and has his own cave dwelling in the Northern Territory.

However, since I spend a lot of time on missions outside the gate and am too lazy to travel back and forth, I just live nearby.

By this time, the night was deep.

The room of Zhao Changping was dimly lit, and the rustling sound of books turning could be faintly heard.

Ring ring...

Suddenly, the wind chimes outside emitted a faint glow and made a clear, crisp sound.

Zhao Changping was delighted. He put the book on the table, got up and walked outside. On the shiny book cover, there was a seductive picture of a woman, along with the four large pink characters "千姿百怪" (meaning "a thousand postures and strange appearances").

He excitedly opened the courtyard gate and exclaimed, "My darling, you're finally here..."

Before he could finish speaking, the smile on his face suddenly froze, then quickly turned grim: "Who are you!"

"Senior Zhao, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. I'd like to make a deal with you."

The man in blue lowered his head slightly and spoke in a low voice.

"Deals, get out of here!"

"Are you fucking crazy, coming in the middle of the night?"

Zhao Changping was furious and pushed the man in blue back two steps.

"Senior Zhao, I have money, lots of money. It's all yours if you agree..."

As the man in blue spoke, he slowly reached into his robes. Zhao Changping also looked at the young man's hand, seemingly expecting him to be able to produce a lot of money.

Unexpectedly, the young man didn't take out any money, but instead pulled out a thick stack of talismans.

As the violent true energy surged in, these talismans instantly burst forth with dazzling light, like a blazing sun suddenly appearing between the two.

Zhao Changping's expression changed drastically. He screamed and retreated, but the dazzling sun, like a persistent leech, rapidly approached him.
