Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?!

Chapter 247: Chapter 217: Praise the Snake!_2
She couldn’t help but imagine, “If a storage bag could contain land, would it also be possible to directly snatch someone else’s magical treasures? For instance, during a battle, suddenly snatching the opponent’s magical treasure.”

“Magical treasures would be somewhat difficult, since they have recognized their masters. However…”

“However what?”

“However, we can expand on the ‘Land Naming Charm’ and add the ability to block a magical treasure from communicating with its owner, to create an upgraded version called the ‘Magical Treasure Naming Talisman.’ But considering the issue of the blocking effect, the ‘Magical Treasure Naming Talisman’ would at least need to be of a second-order level. A second-order talisman should easily control a first-order magical treasure.”

Wow!

Yue Linger thought to herself how ridiculous this all was.

In just one short hour, Jiang Cheng had not only solved her excavation problem but also casually named this type of talisman, and logically fleshed out its upgraded version and subsequent method of use.

“I feel like the potential of this kind of talisman is huge!”

Yue Linger exclaimed.

Not to mention, talismans are much cheaper than magical treasures, even a second-order talisman is often cheaper than a first-order magical treasure.

Third-order talismans are almost always cheaper than second-order magical treasures.

Imagine two cultivators encountering each other on a narrow path.

One pulls out his precious magical treasure, ready for a showdown where the brave win on a narrow path.

The other takes out a Magical Treasure Naming Talisman and snatches the opponent’s magical treasure in the blink of an eye, then turns tail and runs.

Yue Linger felt that if her hard-earned magical treasure was snatched away in an instant, she would probably explode on the spot.

“The Magical Treasure Naming Talisman indeed has huge potential, but the Land Naming Charm is just fine. Your teacher only needs you to dig holes, right?”

“Yes.”

“Then just let the Land Naming Charm be able to dig holes. Don’t make the effects too strong.”

“Why not?”

Other Talisman Masters were always trying to improve the effects, but with Jiang Cheng, it was “Don’t make the effects too strong.”

Jiang Cheng scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, “If the talisman’s effects are too good, especially since it’s made by our school, it might alert the Talisman Master Association, and then it wouldn’t pass certification.”

Yue Linger said in confusion, “I’m just submitting an assignment. Why would I need certification?”

Jiang Cheng said with a smile, “Perhaps others might want certification?”

Yue Linger thought: The Land Naming Charm is my hard-earned talisman, why would I let someone else take it for certification?

But she immediately realized Jiang Cheng had her best interests at heart.

In name, it was her who painted the charm well, but in reality, it was truly Jiang Cheng who had come up with it. It contained a heavy dose of Jiang Cheng’s style.

As far as Yue Linger knew, none of Jiang Cheng’s talismans had ever managed to stand alone.

Without exception, all had made a grand name for themselves on the prohibition list.

The most recent “Perception Transmission Talisman,” due to its enhancement of Demonic Tao cultivation techniques and notable addictiveness, was directly classified as a first-level controlled talisman by the Immortal Sects.

At a young age, Jiang Cheng had made a prominent mark in the history of the Talisman development of Tongtian Sect.

Whoever wants to certify the Land Naming Charm can go ahead.

Yue Linger did not want to wade into these murky waters anymore.

Logically, after receiving inspiration for a talisman, Yue Linger should have hurried back to draw and experiment with the talisman to complete her assignment as soon as possible.

But Yue Linger truly didn’t want to leave.

She had finally seized an opportunity to find Jiang Cheng, and now to leave hastily, what would she do when Jiang Cheng’s addiction flared up?

“Yue,”

“Hmm?”

“It just so happens you haven’t left yet, and I have a talisman I would like to discuss with you.”

It was like delivering a pillow to someone who wanted to sleep; Yue Linger promptly agreed.

“Of course! Just tell me.”

Jiang Cheng spoke slowly, “It’s like this, I have a senior who wants me to help him draw an Evil-Expelling Talisman.”

“An Evil-Expelling Talisman? Expelling what kind of evil?”

“I’m not sure.”

“?”

“To be precise, I feel that the person in need of exorcism has no evil to be expelled. But my senior doesn’t think so; he believes the person whose behavior is abnormal must be possessed by an evil spirit.”

“Ah? That does sound challenging.”

Yue Linger thought for a moment and said, “His meaning is that he wants you to draw a universal type of Evil-Expelling Talisman. However, as far as I know, current Evil-Expelling Talismans only come in specific types, there is no universal one.”

“Yes.” Jiang Cheng was aware of this as well.

The so-called “exorcism” is essentially an attack on soul-based creatures.

Evil spirits of darkness need a Pure Yang Series Evil-Expelling Talisman.

Whereas soul cultivators and ghost cultivators aren’t afraid of the Pure Yang talisman, they are more vulnerable to mental attack types.

There are also some Demon Race with special talents, such as the Dream Tapir and worms, who aren’t bothered by Pure Yang or mental attacks, but are more susceptible to Purification Type talismans.

If the symptoms are not known, one can’t prescribe the right cure, so the talisman that Jiang Cheng draws could well be ineffective.

A universal talisman that covers all exorcism types does not exist.

Because the various exorcism effects not only cannot be layered, but they can also weaken and conflict with each other.

It’s like the Five Element Spells; each is powerful on its own, but if you mix them all together, strange issues like soil erosion, forest fires, and metal wear can occur.

“Can we do exorcism without a talisman?” Yue Linger asked.

“Explain in detail.”

“I’m at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and I’ve been looking into Foundation Establishment knowledge lately. The Heavenly Tribulation that cultivators trigger upon advancing to a higher realm is actually a way of cleansing the body and mind. The Tribulation refines your body and spirit, washing away all negative effects including control, curses, charms, and evil spirits. If that person is capable of Foundation Establishment or Core Formation, then undergoing a Heavenly Tribulation would naturally break any supposed evil spirit possession.”

Jiang Cheng had some understanding of Emperor of Liang’s talents.

If Emperor of Liang was confident in achieving Core Formation to prolong his life, he wouldn’t have turned to the Hehuan Sect to use the Joyous Union Skill to increase his lifespan.
