Chapter 281: Chapter 231 Plan Success!_2

His throat moved, and Jiang Cheng asked Liu Qing in a trembling voice, “You’ve been following me, what are you trying to do?”

Liu Qing blinked in puzzlement.

She didn’t understand why Jiang Cheng was asking a question to which he already knew the answer.

After all, it was Jiang Cheng who had taken her hand and led her all the way here.

Liu Qing looked down at their hands, and Jiang Cheng followed her gaze.

The truth became clear.

It turned out it was just that they had been holding hands for too long and forgot to let go. Jiang Cheng had even thought Liu Qing harbored some inappropriate thoughts.

“Ah! Sorry, I forgot,” Jiang Cheng quickly released her hand.

Liu Qing shook her head, indicating it was nothing. After all, it wasn’t the first time Jiang Cheng had forgotten to let go, and she was used to it by now.

Friends should be accommodating to one another.

“Good night.”

“Yeah, good night.”

The night passed without incident.

The next morning, the two woke up in tacit agreement. After a quick tidy up and breakfast, they walked shoulder to shoulder to Lotus University’s library.

Since Jiang Cheng often came to the library to do research, he was quite familiar with the place.

Finding books and seats was a piece of cake for him.

Jiang Cheng found himself several reference books on “Enlightenment,” as well as autobiographies of prodigies from the Immortal Sects, which contained subjective descriptions of their experiences with Enlightenment.

In front of Liu Qing, however, there lay a book titled “Language Skills: The Art of Conversation.”

A day went by, and Jiang Cheng learned a great deal. He summarized nearly twenty different experiences of Enlightenment and the accompanying heavenly phenomena from the descriptive tool books on Enlightenment and the autobiographies of over a dozen prodigies from the Immortal Sects.

As Jiang Cheng’s study partner, Liu Qing also reaped considerable benefits. “Language Skills,” with its moderate thickness and protective plastic cover, proved quite suitable for propping up her milk tea.

Two more days passed, and Jiang Cheng developed the “Enlightenment Experience Talisman” based on his collected information about Enlightenment!

The Enlightenment Experience Talisman included over a dozen different Enlightenment scenarios, which would randomly manifest one kind of Enlightenment phenomenon when cast upon the target.

For example, “Purple Qi Comes from the East,” “Wind Arises from a Clear Sky,” “Mist Entwined,” “Torrential Rains,” and so on.

Besides Enlightenment phenomena, it also integrated functions from other talismans to realize the subjective experiences of the Enlightened, such as “Every Detail Revealed,” “Spiritually Uplifted,” “Heart Clear as a Mirror,” and “Keen of Hearing and Clear of Sight.”

Understanding Liang Qing’s urgent mood, Jiang Cheng immediately informed him of the good news as soon as the new talisman was completed.

Liang Qing was even more excited than Jiang Cheng.

In the past, if he wanted to triumph, he would have to go through the motions of using three third-level Magical Treasures to crush his opponent.

If he was unlucky and encountered a master like Li Qing, he couldn’t take any chances and had to be fully alert and treat the matter seriously.

But now, things were different. With Jiang Cheng’s talisman, his winning process was simplified from three Magical Treasures to just one talisman.

Wasn’t this progress?

Who could say that Liang Qing hadn’t made an effort?

At Jade Lake Ming’an, Jiang Cheng carried the “Enlightenment Experience Talisman” as he stepped out, heading to Prince Liang Qing’s residence at Prince Yue Mansion.

His move did not escape the eyes of a female cultivator from the Taixu Sect stationed across the neighborhood, tasked with monitoring his activities.

The cultivator promptly notified Li Qingge, the person in charge of the “Ascension of the Holy Maiden” plan.

“Li, Jiang Cheng has left his home! He took a taxi at the neighborhood entrance, and based on the timing, he’s most likely going to Liang Qing’s place to deliver the talisman!”

Hearing the latest update, Li Qingge couldn’t help but smile relievedly.

If Jiang Cheng delivered the new talisman to Liang Qing, their Taixu Sect’s plan would be successful by a large margin!

Zhong Yan happened to be next to Li Qingge, “Li, why are you suddenly so happy?”

“Liang Qing has taken the bait, our efforts haven’t been in vain! He’s the last Prince, and we’re only one step away from the ascension of Princess Liang Lu!”

“Indeed, it’s something to be happy about, but…” Zhong Yan paused and said, “Li, once Liang Qing gets the talisman, he’ll surely challenge you again. Should we accept or not?”

“Accept! Of course we should accept!”

“But what if you, supported by Jiang Cheng’s talisman, still defeat him? Or has Li already prepared to throw the fight?”

Li Qingge shook her head and said, “You’re asking this because you don’t understand Jiang Cheng at all. Jiang Cheng is meticulous in his actions. If he wasn’t confident that his new talisman could defeat Li Qing, he wouldn’t have left to deliver the talisman to Liang Qing.”

Zhong Yan frowned, saying, “Li, I know Jiang Cheng is formidable, but for him to draw a talisman that can help Liang Qing beat you, that seems a bit far-fetched. How could a talisman be decisive in a Foundation Establishment Stage battle? Not to mention you’re a Core Formation Cultivator! A fourth-order Talisman Master! Far superior to an ordinary Foundation Establishment practitioner!”

Li Qingge revealed a bitter smile, saying, “If I knew what Jiang Cheng was thinking, I would have been preparing to compete for the position of Holy Maiden by now.”

“Holy Maiden? Isn’t that an exaggeration, Li?”

“Zhong, you’re not a Talisman Master, you don’t realize how formidable Jiang Cheng is. His gift for creating talismans is extremely rare in this world. At least when it comes to causing trouble, the young talents of the Five Great Immortal Sects put together can’t match one of his fingers.”

Zhong Yan found it hard to believe: “Really?”

Li Qingge sighed, “Why would I lie to you? If Jiang Cheng weren’t a male cultivator, otherwise, I’d definitely try to entice him to join Taixu Sect. Although the throne of Liang Kingdom is precious, compared to the seat of the Holy Maiden, it is nothing.”

As a member of the Taixu Sect, Zhong Yan naturally understood the weight of being the Taixu Holy Maiden. The Holy Maiden was essentially a reserve for the Sect Master position; even if one didn’t make it to Sect Master, at the very least, they would be an Elder with real power.

A figure who could decide the fate of their Liangguo Subrudder with just a breath.

…

In Prince Yue Mansion, Liang Qing warmly welcomed Jiang Cheng.

“Jiang, where is my talisman? My sure-win talisman?”
