Chapter 22: “A Single Talisman to Save Your Life”
Upon seeing Xiao Yu enter, Hansu Zhenren smiled with satisfaction. He had found the ideal candidate.
He spoke with calm assurance:
“Yu’er, let me introduce you to this young man. He is a senior disciple of the Iron Pillar Temple. Many years ago, I crossed paths with their former temple master. Now that the Iron Pillar Temple faces a crisis, it is only right that Tianyong City extends its aid.”
“Master,” Xiao Yu said respectfully, “I came to see you today because I wish to embark on a journey for some worldly experience.”
“Well, what a coincidence. It seems you and the Iron Pillar Temple are fated to cross paths.”
Hansu Zhenren had already intended to send Xiao Yu on this mission. He trusted Xiao Yu’s capabilities. The young man’s previous performance during the ambush by demonic cultivators on his journey with Fuqu had been exemplary.
The disciple of the Iron Pillar Temple respectfully saluted Xiao Yu.
Standing before Xiao Yu, he felt a profound and oppressive aura emanating from the young man. It was the natural suppression a higher-level cultivator exerted over one of a lower realm. To the disciple, Xiao Yu seemed capable of killing him with a mere wave of his hand.
Despite being slightly older than Xiao Yu, the disciple addressed him as “senior.” Such was the custom of the cultivation world, where strength and accomplishments outweighed age in determining respect.
“No need to stand on ceremony. Rise and explain the situation to me,” Xiao Yu said.
The Iron Pillar Temple disciple stood and quickly recounted the issue,
“Senior, our temple has guarded the Moon-Devouring Wolf Emperor for over a millennium. Recently, the formation keeping it sealed has weakened, and it requires the reinforcement of an immortal’s strength.”
Hansu Zhenren turned to Xiao Yu with a smile,
“Yu’er, I have a jade slip for you. It contains my insights on formation arrays. Study it carefully during your journey to the Iron Pillar Temple.”
With a flick of his wrist, Hansu Zhenren seemed to pluck the jade slip from the fabric of space itself. The green crystal floated gently toward Xiao Yu.
“Thank you, Master.”
Xiao Yu received the slip with both hands, treating it with great care. He knew that his master, ever considerate, had provided the jade slip to ensure he could successfully assist in reinforcing the formation.
“Yu’er,” Hansu Zhenren continued, “I’ve also heard that you selected the Void Sword of Illusions technique in the Tianjian Pavilion. That sword art is exceedingly difficult to master, but I commend your decision to venture out and gain experience.
“However, the cultivation world is fraught with danger. To ensure your safety, I am giving you this talisman.”
Hansu Zhenren’s expression softened. He regarded Xiao Yu as his own child, having personally raised and guided him since he was young. The thought of Xiao Yu venturing into the unpredictable world filled him with both pride and concern.
A yellow talisman appeared, inscribed with intricate red patterns drawn in cinnabar. It floated toward Xiao Yu, radiating faint spiritual energy.
Talismanic treasures, also known as spiritual talismans, are created to store powerful techniques—whether they be lethal strikes, defensive barriers, or escape arts. They are indispensable for surviving life-threatening situations.
“This talisman contains a protective spell that can shield you from harm. Use it wisely,” Hansu Zhenren said.
Xiao Yu respectfully accepted the talisman, his heart warmed by his master’s thoughtfulness.
“I will not disappoint you, Master,” he vowed, his resolve firm as he prepared for the journey ahead.
