C468 – Zhang Daoqian Gave Him a Pleasant Surprise the Talisman Arts

Upon hearing Jiang Hao’s words, Yang Xiaoxiao opened his mouth to speak, but Jiang Hao raised his hand, silencing him before he could begin.

Realizing that Jiang Hao was resolute, Yang Xiaoxiao refrained from further persuasion.

“Take care of yourself, Brother Hao,” he said at last.

Then, turning to Zhang Daoqian at his side, he added, “Let’s head out, Old Zhang.”

Zhang Daoqian paused to consider, then seemed to come to a decision. He reached into his pocket and produced two folded paper talismans, handing one to each of the men. As they looked on in surprise, Zhang Daoqian explained.

“Before I ever set foot in a university, I encountered a ghost. So my family sought out these protective charms for me, and I’ve kept them close ever since.”

He continued, “I want you two to have these. I’m grateful for Xiaoxiao’s kindness, but I’ll sit this one out.”

With that, Zhang Daoqian spun a convenient lie to deflect any further questions.

Ultimately, Yang Xiaoxiao returned alone, while Zhang Daoqian departed on his own errands. Jiang Hao, left holding the talisman, read the inscription.

“Beginner Grade One Talisman, Five Thunder Evil Slaying Talisman: Capable of summoning the force of thunder to banish and destroy malevolent spirits.”

As he pondered the system’s description and watched Zhang Daoqian’s retreating figure, Jiang Hao was struck by a realization.

“Could it be that this talisman is genuine?”

Memories of his time with Zhang Daoqian flooded back, and Jiang Hao began to suspect there was more to his friend than met the eye.

?A daring thought crossed his mind. “Could it be that he crafted this talisman himself, as a ruse? Is he playing the fool to catch the wise?”

?Lost in contemplation, Jiang Hao eventually snapped out of his reverie. He looked at the talisman in his hand, shook his head with a wry smile, and mused aloud.

“Perhaps I’m overthinking it. Maybe this really is a charm his family obtained for him.”

Casting aside his wilder speculations, Jiang Hao examined the talisman once more and murmured to himself, “Still, it seems this charm might not be of much use to me after all.”

?At his current stage, with spiritual energy freshly revived, he was undeniably among the most formidable beings.

His martial prowess was unmatched, his vitality and blood vast—ordinary ghosts wouldn’t dare to cross him.

Furthermore, his mastery of Confucian and Taoist principles made him a bane to all malevolent forces.

He also wielded the Baiqi Killing Sword, a divine weapon that had slain innumerable creatures and exerted a tremendous suppressive force on evil martial entities.

And if the Baiqi Killing Sword was so extraordinary, how could the Imperial Jade Seal, the symbol of imperial legitimacy, be anything less?

After much deliberation, he concluded that the talisman held little value for him at present.

In that moment, Jiang Hao realized he might be ungrateful.

After all, this was a gesture from Zhang Daoqian, and he had dismissed it as worthless!

Staring at the talisman in his hand, Jiang Hao paused in thought, then his eyes sparkled with inspiration.

“If it’s of little use to me, perhaps dismantling it could yield some unique treasures?”

“After all, this talisman ranks as the highest among all the items I’ve dismantled. Surely, I won’t come away empty-handed, right?”

The more Jiang Hao mulled it over, the more plausible it seemed.

Filled with this hope, Jiang Hao quickly reached out to the system.

“System, disassemble this first-grade spirit talisman in my hand!”

“Affirmative, host!”

“Ding… Congratulations to the host for successfully dismantling the first-grade spirit talisman, the Five Lightning Ghost Slashing Evil Talisman! You’ve gained the innate ability: Talisman Arts, along with 10 skill points and 5 experience points!”

“Congratulations to the host for a successful disassembly. Would you like to proceed with extraction and fusion?”

As the system’s notification chimed, Jiang Hao snapped to attention.
