At this time, Lu Yang was unaware that Lan Ting had secured a major deal. He was using an Invisibility Talisman and concealment techniques to follow the officer in search of Reverse Life Talismans.
The three of them split up into different directions, aiming to locate as many Reverse Life Talismans as possible.
It was clear that the government office took the Reverse Life Talismans very seriously, practically leaving no stone unturned in Yanjiang County.
First, the officials identified the areas where ordinary people often felt tired and drowsy, and then designated areas for search.
Guard Captain Wei, Fang Qingyun, even multiplied himself into two clones. He, along with his true form and two clones, expanded their Spiritual Sense to lead a large team searching for talismans.
Fang Qingyun’s cultivation level was too high, so Lu Yang and his companions did not dare follow him.
Before long, the officer found a Reverse Life Talisman. Lu Yang, hidden in the shadows, silently noted down the location.
By dusk, the trio regrouped and pulled out a map of Yanjiang County, marking the locations of the Reverse Life Talismans.
“One under the Great Stone Bridge, one in the rouge shop on Front Street, one in a pawn shop … These are the six Reverse Life Talisman locations that we’ve found so far.”
“We can’t be sure these are laid out in accordance with the Reverse Life Array based just on this information. Let’s see what we can find tomorrow.”
When they returned to the barbecue restaurant, they saw Lan Ting wearing a tofu mask, intently improving the Automatic Skewer Formation.
The skewers were suspended mid-air, subjected to high heat.
Two ghouls knelt on the ground, sniveling profusely in gratitude to Lan Ting for his kindness in rescuing them from endless grilling.
Lu Yang was puzzled. What had happened while they were gone for less than an afternoon?
“Where did you get this mask?”
Lan Ting said with a hint of pride: “Oh, it was brought by the tofu shop owner you saved last night. She also said she wants to collaborate with our barbecue shop during the Spring Festival.”
“This is an event plan we decided together.”
“When I was working yesterday, I found that with only two ghouls grilling, the efficiency was too low, so some customers were impatient. Therefore, I designed this Automatic Skewer Formation which greatly increased efficiency.”
“This Automatic Skewer Formation is an innovative and unprecedented Array Method. After returning to the Fairy Palace, I can use it to exchange for contribution points.”
“This Array Method is quite simple, and may even be promoted on a large scale in the future.”
Just like the Seek Dao Sect, the Laurel Fairy Palace also has similar long-term tasks.
Lu Yang:”…”
It seems that the rapid development of the barbecue shop is unstoppable.
Meng Jingzhou, giggling, took the tofu mask: “This tofu mask looks great. Lu Yang, look, it matches you perfectly. You look exactly like it.”
Lu Yang glanced at the square tofu mask, rolled his eyes, chose not to stoop to Meng’s level, and accepted the mask.
Lan Ting added: “I’ve also laid out a Gathering Spirit Array and a Sound-isolation Array on the second floor for convenient cultivation.”
This was the only good news Lu Yang had heard since he entered the shop: “That’s too generous of you. Setting up Array Methods must have consumed many Spirit Stones. Calculate how much you used, and we three will pay for it.”
Lan Ting waved his hand: “It only takes a few Spirit Stones, merely pocket change.”
Meng Jingzhou suddenly looked up, warningly gazing at Lan Ting. For the first time, he had met his match in showing off wealth.
The arrival of Lan Ting made life much more comfortable for the three of them, allowing them to focus on searching for the talismans during the day.
After ten days, Lu Yang and his companions found the locations of more than two hundred talismans, exactly matching the nodes of the Reverse Life Array.
After finding a pattern, they went looking at other potential node locations and indeed found Reverse Life Talismans.
“What should we do? Should we tell Guard Captain Wei?” Meng Jingzhou asked.
Lu Yang was a bit torn. If they informed Guard Captain Wei about the locations of the Reverse Life Talismans, his superior would definitely know that someone was secretly helping them. If Master Chu heard the news, they might become suspects.
But if they didn’t inform them, the Reverse Life Talismans scattered all over Yanjiang County would undoubtedly be a risk.
“Hey, bring us two hundred mutton kebabs and two hundred beef kebabs!” a hearty voice rang out, even the ghouls in the backyard could hear it clearly.
Normally, the volume of this voice would scare them stiff.
But now, with the Automatic Skewer Formation, their workload decreases significantly. Not just two hundred mutton and beef kebabs, bring even two hundred pork kebabs and I won’t break a sweat!
“Also add two hundred pork kebabs!” the hearty voice continued, seemingly the owner is quite loaded.
Lu Yang squinted, recognizing the owner of the voice: “It’s Yizhang Hong who participated in the Cult member selection, the two people behind him are also at the Foundation Establishment Stage like Yizhang Hong.
The three did not pass the selection.
“Will we be recognized?” Man Gu asked, they had tricked Yizhang Hong by pretending to be examiners.
Lu Yang shook his head: “No, the Rudder Master has said that for the secrecy of the sub-palace, those who did not pass the selection had their memories washed by the headquarters, they don’t remember the selection.”
Yizhang Hong, seeing that no one was serving him, shouted loudly: “Hello? Is anyone there?”
“Coming, coming, what would you like to order?” Lu Yang rushed out.
Yizhang Hong was quite brusque: “Two hundred skewers each of pork, beef and mutton, just bring the rest, I heard the food here was good, if it’s not, watch me smash your shop!”
Obviously, he did not recognize Lu Yang, if he did, he would have smashed the shop directly.
Lu Yang greeted with a smile, nodding and bowing: “Rest assured, our kebabs are so good you’ll want to eat them for a lifetime.”
Yizhang Hong snorted coldly, ignoring Lu Yang.
The two companions of Yizhang Hong squinted, not bothering to talk to Lu Yang.
Lu Yang sent Meng Jingzhou a message: “Notify Guard Captain Wei, tell him there are three Foundation Establishment Stage Demon Cultivators here, ask him to bring people to arrest them.”
These group of Demon Cultivators are murderous, according to the penal code they’ll be executed several times over, Lu Yang won’t show mercy.
Let you see how the Demon Path deals — report!
Meng Jingzhou paused, responding: “But we don’t have proof, how would they know they are Foundation Establishment Stage Demon Cultivators? Would Guard Captain Wei believe it?”
Lu Yang smirked: “What’s not to believe? Just say we noticed they have suspicious talismans that could make people faint.”
Meng Jingzhou understood Lu Yang’s intention, they had few Reverse Life Talismans on hand, perfect for framing.
“Alright, I’ll be right back.” Meng Jingzhou ran off.
Guard Captain Wei was shocked when he heard that there were three Foundation Establishment Stage Demon Cultivators potentially holding Reverse Life Talismans. This was no small matter, he immediately reported to Fang Qingyun.
Fang Qingyun did not hesitate and led a large team to round up the three.
Regardless of whether or not they possessed Reverse Life Talismans, just the presence of three Foundation Establishment Stage Demon Cultivators warranted such a formation.
Fang Qingyun came to the barbecue shop, released the pressure of the Golden Core Stage, immobilizing Yizhang Hong and the others. He waved his hand and ordered gravely: “Take them down and search them!”
Yizhang Hong and the others had no idea what was happening as several Foundation Establishment Stage constables pinned them to the ground.
What’s going on? Is eating kebabs illegal in your Yanjiang County?
Then, Guard Captain Wei found a large number of Reverse Life Talismans on Yizhang Hong, far more than those that Lu Yang had planted to frame him.
“It was indeed you who set up the Reverse Life Array!” Fang Qingyun stared daggers at Yizhang Hong, it was all his fault he hadn’t been able to rest for days.
Lu Yang:”…”
Meng Jingzhou:”…”
Really, could you not have been more cooperative?
Yizhang Hong and the others were still confused, they’d done everything flawlessly, leaving no trace, why would the constables come to arrest them? What went wrong?
