Fighting to be Kind in a Cultivation World

Chapter 256: That's a Lot of Paper

Chapter 256: That's a Lot of Paper

Hes only getting started.

BOOM

Faster and faster and faster.

BOOOOM

I desperately hang onto Senior Tians back as he propels himself from place to place.

Even with my oversized strength, the force he propels himself with is absolutely absurd, causing sonic booms and moving even faster. Hes totally forgotten about my presence in his madness for creating.  

BOOOOOOOM

AHHHHHH

I wont blackout. I cant or Ill die!

No chance to even lear

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMLORD GOD HELP ME

 The world is simply a blur as things pass by.

Im only staying on, because Ive used my scan to find the position with the most leverage to stay on and even then, Im being pried off. My combat scan is active and barely helping with how hes going to move next, allowing me to brace in that direction.

BOOOOM

It doesnt help much.

Ive even ended up removing my aura to protect against others from using their spiritual sense on me and ended up pouring it all into healing myself, in case I fly into a wall.

But theres a light at the end of the tunnel.

From the little I can tell, hes finishing things up, which means he will slow down.

Hope fills my heart, as I see reason to come back to him soon.

Slower and slower, he moves. All until he comes to a stop back to where we started.

Using his arms, he carefully pries me off of him.

I honestly thought I was going to fly off into the distance there.

He seems a little embarrassed by how into it he got. Clearly realizing that I really could have died during that.

that probably could have gone better. Sorry about that, young master.

He puts a hand to his chin as he thinks aloud.

I should probably have a harness created, to make it easier for you to stay on me

Hes already planning for a next time?!

Well, its not like I dont understand. This is basically a godsend opportunity. Even if a healing cultivator was able and willing to heal to the extent I do, they would absolutely refuse to throw away their face and ride on someones back.

Unless it was a sect altering or life ending situation.

And even then, maybe not.

Maybe Ai and Lin were right about me needing to focus on my Face more. Maybe that would let me get into less crazy situations?

He quickly interrupts my thoughts, moving on to my concerns.

This has brought me a great many insights and once again, it seems my cultivation has improved. So, no need to consider any payments for this. Not only that, but Lil Song has already compensated me for anything that might have had a cost in terms of materials.

Once again, it seems Sister Nuan has been making many movements for support in the background. It looks like despite some of her tendencies, shes really working to help me. Both monetarily and logistically.

Senior Tian continues, oblivious to my inner thoughts.

Let me know if there are any other formations you need created and, depending on whats needed, we can have it done quickly.

He reaches into his ring and pulls out a fat stack of blank talismans.

Ah, I almost forgot. I didnt want to do this in front of the others, as even they might get a little jealous. Could you heal me a bit about these?

Uh, Id be an idiot not to.

My healing immediately goes to work on him, and Im instantly amazed by his actions.

Before my eyes, powerful, numerous, and long-lasting talismans are made as his eyes focus in on them.

It is a great reminder of two things.

First, that his focus is not on formations, but talismans. While he can create great formations when having an infinite qi source, his talismans are his true skill set.

It seems to be from the knowledge base and what each time requires. Talismans are like a non-rechargeable battery. Once made, I can use them without worry and anywhere. Formations, on the other hand, require a power source, can only be used in certain ways, but are much more powerful because of it.

 Two very different design philosophies.

And seeing a master of the craft at work is doing wonders for expanding my knowledge on the subject.

Soon enough, thousands thats right, thousands of talismans are placed in my hands.

Here. This should be enough to keep your faction safe for a while. These are all defensive and escape talismans.

I blankly stare at them, my scan reviewing their strength.

Creates an animated sword that defends the talisman owner. Able to resist a few hits from a high foundation establishment cultivator. Can fly at high speeds according to orders for 15 minutes, not meant for attack but escape. But could be used that way.

And each can be used twice.

All-in-all, an exceedingly well made and multi-use talisman that would be a good product for low tier cultivators. But he did thousands in seconds. It would be different if a Nascent Soul cultivator did something like this, as they have the qi control, capacity, and technique, but from a mid-core formation?

The scale is completely different here.

I look up at him, to see that he has a shit-eating grin on, that clearly shows he knows what he did was absurd.

And then I understand.

Ah. Hes just using the same method I have been using with jumping around for movement.

Emulating high end techniques with overwhelming brute force.

He must have been testing that with the formation, his lesser technique, to see what he could do with this one.

I feel that this wont be the only time an elder asks me to take part in something crazy again.

I might need to unveil my distance healing before too long, because I just dont have time to deal with something like this regularly.

Nonetheless, I quickly thank him with a bow and profuse thanks.

Thank you, Senior Tian! Our faction will only grow because of the investment you made today.

Despite my words, he simply gives a nod and some words.

Such things are a minor price to pay for access to abilities such as yours. Just your healing of me alone is worth that, not even mentioning the qi enhancing properties.

Qi enhancing? I suppose such a healing process would purify the qi flowing into a person while it is coming in. Removing impurities and keeping benefits.

The more I look at these two healing abilities, the more I realize how powerful the choice I made really is.

But it truly relies on having allies I can trust

Time to make these bonds firm.

Senior, this is an immense help. If you need help in the future, even outside healing, if it is within my power, please let me know.

His eyes turn back to me with some mild amusement.

I should be fine with most things, Young Master.

but should that time come, Ill call on you.

He walks away from the towers before hopping on a sword to fly away.

My scan shows that the ex-Yellow Sash members correctly read my intention to be alone with the Senior and made sure no one was peering outside the towers.

Well. Its time to start my faction and heal some people up.
