Chapter 499 - 358: Talisman Array Study, Turning the Tide! (Double - )
"Cheep!" On the stone table next to him, the Little Yellow Chicken flipped over as the Mountain Ginseng Spirit poked its head out, ready to peck fiercely, scaring the Mountain Ginseng Spirit back into hiding.
"Go, go, go, stop causing trouble, Xiaohuang." Song Changming grabbed the flapping Little Yellow Chicken and placed it back on the stone table.
The Mountain Ginseng Spirit was very afraid of the Little Yellow Chicken because the Little Yellow Chicken always wanted to peck off a few pieces of its flesh.
If Song Changming hadn’t discovered it in time, the Mountain Ginseng Spirit would have already lost half its body upon first meeting the Little Yellow Chicken.
Since then, the Mountain Ginseng Spirit had been hiding from the Little Yellow Chicken, as if encountering a natural enemy, and most of the time it dared not show its face.
The wooden box, which it had always been reluctant to stay in, was now its most secure harbor.
"Chirp chirp." The Little Yellow Chicken protested.
"What’s tasty about this wooden lump compared to these juicy fruits?" Song Changming took out a pile of exotic fruits from the Heaven and Earth Ring for the Little Yellow Chicken.
The Little Yellow Chicken glanced over them with disinterest.
Ultimately knowing that Song Changming wouldn’t let it eat Xiaojin, it reluctantly picked a small red fruit full of Spiritual Qi and started pecking.
After appeasing the Little Yellow Chicken, Song Changming routinely tapped the wooden box with his fingers.
"Let’s begin cultivation."
The top-grade Spirit Crystal floated before him, and Xiaojin in the wooden box responded to Song Changming’s request, starting to assist as an accelerator for cultivation.
They cultivated until late at night.
A portion of the pure Spiritual Qi in the top-grade Spirit Crystal had been extracted, roughly about a third.
Song Changming finished cultivating and calmed the surging Gang Qi within his four Martial Veins.
The Spirit Crystal, losing its refinement, naturally fell into his hand.
"That’s really extravagant," Song Changming couldn’t help but marvel again.
Yet, despite his amazement, since he could use top-grade Spirit Crystal for cultivation, he would never go back to middle-grade Spirit Crystal.
After finishing Qi Refining, Song Changming was recovering the Spiritual Power consumed during cultivation while also taking out a thick book from the Heaven and Earth Ring.
The cover of the book was printed with ancient characters.
Talisman Array Record.
As the name suggests, this is a secret manual analyzing talisman arrays.
Long before returning to the main city, he had noticed this manual among Zhao Liang’s belongings.
He used his military achievements to earn True Meaning of Talisman Tao from the armory of the Military Department, entered the Talisman Tao, and was able to make some basic low-level talisman papers.
But he still didn’t understand much about talisman arrays.
The ancient book titled True Meaning of Talisman Tao didn’t cover talisman arrays.
In fact, talisman arrays are somewhat like an advanced version of basic Talisman Tao content, harder to comprehend and more profoundly mysterious.
Knowledge books related to talisman arrays rarely circulate outside.
Even in the armory of the Military Department, Song Changming had checked, there were only a few books related to talisman arrays.
Moreover, their content only briefly introduced some effects and origins of talisman arrays, without truly covering the teaching content of talisman arrays.
It is evident that to learn talisman arrays, not to mention the difficulty, even finding the initial path is tough.
And this Talisman Array Record, being Zhao Liang’s treasure, is naturally extraordinary.
Although it is unknown where Zhao Liang got it, the book not only has detailed analysis of talisman arrays but also progresses from shallow to deep, far more than just a single array recorded.
Calling it a talisman array encyclopedia would not be an exaggeration!
Song Changming simply took it out and glanced through it while on the road, feeling like he had found a treasure.
Every time he had a moment these days, he would dive into it, seriously studying and pondering.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Core District, Prince’s Mansion.
The grand mansion stood with high walls, and the vermilion gate was flanked by two mighty giant elephant statues, creating a sense of pressure for those nearby.
Inside the mansion were numerous gardens.
The central forest garden was the largest.
Many jade stone mountains constructed the place beautifully and uniquely.
Along the avenue in the garden, Wang Tianshuang donned a golden armor, stepped on war boots, hair tied up, and walked straight ahead without glancing sideways.
"Greetings, Lord Tianshuang!"
"Greetings, Lord Tianshuang!"
"..."
On his way, household servants, maids, household generals, and family members all respectfully saluted Wang Tianshuang.
Undoubtedly, Wang Tianshuang held a high status in the Prince’s Mansion.
This was related to his strength in the Innate Perfection Realm, his position as a Marshal in the Military Department, and his seniority and direct lineage in the family!
Wang Tianshuang didn’t pay heed, continued without stopping, and walked straight into the largest hall in the forest garden.
Inside the hall, over ten people were already seated.
Each held significant authority and considerable weight within the Wang Family.
Wang Tianshuang stepped in, immediately attracting everyone’s gaze.
"Tianshuang, tell us why you did this," the Patriarch Wang Hao stood at the center of the hall, turned to Wang Tianshuang, and asked in a calm tone.
Wang Tianshuang glanced around at everyone, who looked at him with a faint air of questioning.
"Isn’t the price too high for offending the Zhao Family for two generals and a Little Flag Master with no background or status?" Wang Hao went straight to the point without any delay.
"Patriarch, did someone from the Zhao Family come to inquire?" Wang Tianshuang asked calmly, showing no intention of backing down.
"Yes," Wang Hao replied without any intent to hide.
"Tianshuang, speak up; you’re not a reckless person, there must be a reason for your actions," suddenly spoke a white-haired old lady sitting at the head.
Wang Tianshuang nodded, "Rescuing my subordinate general at the city gate was not just for myself, but for the family."
