Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1205: Chapter 799: The Lu Family’s Token of Gratitude, Pill Furnace

Opening the storage bag, Yang Zhenshan felt both delighted and somewhat disappointed as he looked at the items inside.

He was delighted to find quite a number of talismans, counting over a hundred sheets.

The disappointment came from the fact that there weren’t many books on talisman making, with only one book titled "Cloud Soaring Talisman Detailed Explanation."

The Cloud Soaring Talisman is a Second-Order Talisman, allowing a person to fly in the clouds.

It seems like a very simple talisman, but since this Cloud Soaring Talisman can perform the Cloud Soaring Skill, Yang Zhenshan, although unaware of the specific effects of the Cloud Soaring Skill, could guess its remarkable qualities.

Speaking of the ability to fly, a Qi Sea Stage martial artist can barely hover in the air for a short flight, usually flying a hundred meters without much issue.

An Earth Evil Stage martial artist can fly freely, but the energy consumption is immense, preventing long-distance flight, maybe lasting for about a quarter of an hour, at a speed slightly faster than a horse.

A Heavenly Gang Stage martial artist can undertake medium-distance flights, capable of flying two to three hundred miles, though that’s only for flying. In battle, it depends on the strength of one’s True Yuan and the use of supplementary elixirs and other means.

For long-distance flying, it must be a Martial God Realm expert, who can effortlessly traverse a thousand miles in one go, and at great speed.

The Cloud Soaring Skill might have two functions, one for traveling and the other for escaping.

Yang Zhenshan felt that using talismans for travel seemed a bit wasteful, and perhaps it serves more as an escape mechanism.

The value of a talisman capable of providing escape is self-evident.

Unfortunately, it is a Second-Order Talisman.

Yang Zhenshan opened the booklet and looked at it for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and closed it.

Without a foundation in talismans, examining the Second-Order Talisman’s crafting is like reading a celestial script, completely incomprehensible.

Yang Zhenshan actually needed a basic explanation of talismans more, to let him understand common knowledge about talismans and start learning talisman making from the basics.

This was the biggest regret: Duan Qiaofeng’s storage bag didn’t contain such books.

Putting down "Cloud Soaring Talisman Detailed Explanation," Yang Zhenshan began inspecting the talismans one by one. Although he didn’t know the specific names and functions of these talismans, he could tell there were seven different types among them, with one type having over eighty sheets; it seemed this was the type of explosive talisman Duan Qiaofeng used before.

Yang Zhenshan promptly ran to the Spirit Source Land to experiment.

Finding a remote woodland, Yang Zhenshan attempted to inject a tiny bit of mana into a talisman. The next moment, the talisman began to glow, and Yang Zhenshan used the Object Manipulation Technique to toss the talisman out.

With a bang, the explosive shockwave spread out ten meters in front of him.

"This seems to be a fire attribute explosive spell. Hmm, the power is comparable to a full-force strike from an ordinary Heavenly Gang Stage martial artist— not strong, but if used continuously, it could kill a Heavenly Gang Stage martial artist!"

Yang Zhenshan felt the power of the explosive talisman and reflected on Duan Qiaofeng’s use of the explosive talisman last night, making a simple judgment.

"This talisman should be relatively low-level; otherwise, Duan Qiaofeng wouldn’t use it so casually!"

He took out another explosive talisman to study carefully.

"There’s no mistake about the rune on it, it should be a simple talismanic restriction, easy to draw!"

"The material of the paper is special, not ordinary paper; it should be specially processed talisman paper!"

"The ink is red, without a bloody smell, seemingly ground from some kind of mineral!"

Yang Zhenshan analyzed as he took out other items from the storage bag to inspect.

He found a stack of talisman paper, along with a talisman pen and cinnabar for drawing talismans.

Cinnabar is also a kind of herbal material, and Yang Zhenshan naturally knew what cinnabar looked like, but the cinnabar before him clearly wasn’t intended for medicinal use.

He studied it for a while, yet still couldn’t determine what the cinnabar-like substance was made of.

In terms of other things, lacking the most basic knowledge and theory, Yang Zhenshan couldn’t come up with any conclusions.

Finally, he simply handed these things over to the Secret Skill Pavilion, letting them research it.

...

"Thank you for your help this time, Family Head Yang!"

A few days later, after stabilizing the situation in the county city, Lu Fusheng invited Yang Zhenshan to the tea room to express his gratitude.

Yang Zhenshan laughed, "It was quite coincidental. If Brother Youning hadn’t come to invite me, I wouldn’t have come to the county city either!"

This time, from the chaos in the county city, he actually gained a lot.

Among the most important gains was the insight into the Qinghua Thunder Skill. Although he used the Qinghua Thunder Pearl, which he had nurtured for years, he deepened his understanding of the Qinghua Thunder Skill.

He has begun nurturing the Qinghua Thunder Pearl again and found that his nurturance speed has greatly increased, forming a shadow of the pearl within just a few days—bearing in mind, it initially took him three months to nurture a shadow.

So, this time he wasn’t at a loss.

Apart from the insight into the Qinghua Thunder Skill, he also acquired Duan Qiaofeng’s storage bag. Though there is currently no foundation in talisman making in the Spirit Source Land, it opened a new avenue of cultivating immortality there.

It doesn’t matter if it’s lacking now, Yang Zhenshan believes the Secret Skill Pavilion will surely work out the foundation for talisman making.

Lu Fusheng gave a slight nod, then took out a storage bag and handed it to Yang Zhenshan, "This is a token of appreciation from this old man as a small gesture of gratitude!"

Yang Zhenshan did not refuse, accepting the storage bag, and checked its contents in front of Lu Fusheng.
